CHAPTER 1

Hu Anxue couldn't figure out why such a beautiful sister-in-law would choose to marry her own brother. Although Hu Anfeng is her brother in name and in fact, she never had a close relationship with her brother, and was even more close to her cousin. Although she was the second child in the family, and her parents took the initiative to give birth after they had a son, she still couldn't get rid of the fate of being despised because of her gender since she was a child. She sometimes felt that she was just a maid her parents gave birth to for Hu Anfeng.

Since she was sensible, her parents have often instructed her to do housework, while her brother, who is six years older than her, acts as an uncle every day. In order to get rid of this kind of life, Hu Anxue did not listen to her family's opinions when she chose university to stay in the city, Instead, she secretly applied for a school in other provincial capitals, which made her life much easier. But the good times didn't last long. Before she graduated, Hu Anfeng suddenly moved to her city and even bought a house and settled down.

When Hu Anxue was still in school, she used her busy academic schedule as an excuse and rarely went to Hu Anfeng's house. However, after graduation, she couldn't withstand anymore the persecution of her parents and moved in. Her parents claim that they wanted her to save rent, but in reality, they were just reluctant to give her the money to rent a house and wanted her to replace the nanny of Hu Anfeng to do household chores for him and his wife.

Hu Anxue was extremely disgusted. She hated the feeling of being under the influence of others, but now she couldn't do anything about it. The rent in the provincial capital city was very expensive, and without the support of her parents, she cannot afford it.

When Hu Anxue first moved in, she was very nervous. She knew that no one liked to have a stranger live in their house, and the house was not bought by her brother alone. According to her parents, her sister-in-law's family is much better off than hers. Her parents are both teachers in good universities. She is also in business and can make a lot of money. Therefore, she is the one who pays for most of the household expenses, and she even insists on paying for a nanny.

Hu Anxue had only seen this sister-in-law once before she moved in, and it was during her wedding with Hu Anfeng. Hang Ying that day was truly beautiful, with exquisite and elegant appearance, Hu Anxue was amazed by her at a glance. Unfortunately, she married her own brother. Although her impression of this beautiful sister-in-law was greatly diminished because of her older brother, she still didn't dislike getting along with her. That's why she could only persuaded herself to endure it again until she could save enough money to rent a house and leave. Isn't it just to be a nanny? Anyway, she has already grown up having used to it from a young age.

Hu Anxue thought that the person who could fall in love with her older brother, a selfish man, would also have a nasty character, but Hang Ying was completely different from what she imagined.

Hang Ying was very friendly to Hu Anxue, as if her stay had not brought her any burden. The nanny at home was still being paid for it, Hang Ying didn't let her do anything and showed great concern for her.  She always bring her snacks before meals, pick up vegetables for her during meals, and give her fruits after meals. Even before going to bed at night, she would show her care, asking if she feels cold at night and if she needs to add a quilt for her.

Hu Anxue felt that Hang Ying was really exaggerating. Although spring had just begun and the house was a bit cold, but it was already the end of April. How could the winter blanket be so cold? Although Hang Ying's concern for her was mostly superfluous, Hu Anxue still felt very warm, because Hang Ying was the first person to care about her so much since she was a child.

At first, Hu Anxue thought that Hang Ying attached great importance to Hu Anfeng because she valued her. However, after staying for a few days, Hu Anxue felt that Hang Ying didn't seem to care much about Hu Anfeng and they even only had a little communication. At first, Hu Anxue thought they were just arguing, and just having a Cold War, but later she almost confirmed that their daily interactions were like this. They even sleep separately all the time. The house is a four-bedroom house, with Hang Ying living in the master bedroom and Hu Anfeng living in the second bedroom. The rooms of the two are not even next to each other.

At the wedding, Hu Anxue already felt that Hang Ying was truly beautiful at a glance, and now that she was under the same roof, she felt even more so from close contact. Still, Hu Anxue couldn't figure it out. Hang Ying was so beautiful and wealthy, but she doesn't like Hu Anfeng, so why would she even marry Hu Anfeng?

“Xiaoxue, hand me the remote control.”

Hu Anxue was thinking about it and when the person she was thinking about suddenly call her, it startled her. However, she immediately reacted and handed the remote control on the coffee table that was near to her to Hang Ying.

Hang Ying took the remote control but didn't use it in a hurry. Instead, she looked at Hu Anxue with an inquiring expression, but her lips still smiling, “What's the matter? After an episode of TV series has gone black, you're just staring absently at it."

“Ah, no." Hu Anxue subconsciously denied it, but in fact she was really in a daze. She was staring at the Hang Ying reflected on the TV screen in a daze.

Hang Ying patted her position next to her and said, "Come over here. You're sitting too sideways, you look so tired."

Hu Anxue deliberately sat away from Hang Ying. For some unknown reason, she was nervous at the sight of Hang Ying, and sitting next to her felt like a pierce of a needle. But she couldn't refuse Hang Ying. As soon as Hang Ying's words fell, she obediently moved over.

Hang Ying's body is very fragrant. Every time she approaches her, Hu Anxue can smell a faint floral fragrance. It is not like the fragrance of perfume, but more like shampoo, body lotion, etc. It smells very natural and refreshing. Every time, Hu Anxue can't help but take a deep breath and smell the scent carefully.

Hu Anxue was already afraid to take a look at Hang Ying, so sitting next to her made her even more afraid to turn her head. However, this made it more convenient for her to watch Hang Ying reflected on TV. Because in this way, her head and gaze don't have to deviate, as long as she sits upright, she can see Hang Ying's figure.

Hang Ying wears very ordinary and casual clothes when she goes out, but she wears very bold and even revealing at home. Today, she was wearing a red halter dress with a very low neckline, and Hu Anxue could effortlessly see her outline on the TV screen. She is developing very well. The suspender dress had just reached her thighs, and if Hang Ying hadn't been lying on her side, Hu Anxue felt that she might be able to see her underwear.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but Hu Anxue suddenly felt as if Hang Ying was also watching her on TV, and they seemed to be facing with each other. Hu Anxue was so scared that she quickly looked away and pretended to watch TV. In fact, she had no idea what the TV series was about, she only knew that it was a suspense series with a fast pace. After missing some details, it was difficult to keep up with the plot. Just like catching up with the progress of a math teacher's lecture, Hu Anxue frantically tried to catch up with the plot and seize important information to prevent Hang Ying from revealing flaws when discussing the plot with her.

At the end of the episode, the screen turned black again, and the figures of the two people and the sofa behind them were clearly printed on the TV. Hu Anxue couldn't bear to watch Hang Ying, but still sat upright. Hang Ying turned to look at her and said, "I think that neighbor is the murderer, don't you think so?"

"It seems so." Is it? She didn't see it at all, but she agreed.

“Oh, but no, there is a detail that implies that he has no time to commit the crime though." Hang Ying suddenly changed her tone again.

“Mm, it seems to be." Hu Anxue continued to agree.

“Didn't you watch it very seriously? Didn't you notice it?" Hang Ying turned to look at Hu Anxue.

“Uh, I didn't notice." Hu Anxue felt nervous and guilty as she noticed Hang Ying's gaze.

"Alright, it's getting late. Go to bed, thank you for watching TV with me. " Hang Ying turned her head and turned off the TV.

Hu Anxue: "it's good anyway.”

Hang Ying: “Then do you have time tomorrow? Can you continue to watch with me?”

Perceiving that Hang Ying's gaze fell on her again, in order to show courtesy, Hu Anxue boldly turned to look at her: “Okay, I have time tomorrow.”

Finally, she had the opportunity to look at Hang Ying honestly and openly. As soon as she met Hang Ying's gaze, a strange feeling rose in Hu Anxue's heart, a feeling that she seemed to be hit by invisible lightning.

Perhaps influenced by the men around her, or maybe she was born with it. Hu Anxue has never felt for men since she was a child, but she is often attracted to the same s*x, However, she only stays silent and secretly admires them, and has not really talked about them, She only occasionally looks at works with same-s*x subject matter. However, in works with same-s*x subject matter, this emotion is clearly portrayed, so she is now very clearly aware of her affection for Hang Ying, which seems to be gradually deepening and becoming dangerous.

Hang Ying was really the most attractive woman she had ever seen. If she hadn't known that this was her sister-in-law, she might have really fallen deeply into her. But she is indeed her own sister-in-law. Although she doesn't like Hu Anfeng, she would never do anything to ruin his marriage. Moreover, everything is just her imagination. Even if Hang Ying and Hu Anfeng have a bad relationship, and even if Hang Ying treats her well, it doesn't mean that Hang Ying will like her. Any sister-in-law scenes will only appear in novels.

After saying good night to Hang Ying, Hu Anxue returned to her temporary bedroom, forcing herself to stop imagining Hang Ying and return to the loneliness she had long been accustomed to.
