The 99th Divorce

Li Jianyue ran toward the curtains in the living room and laughed. Her clear and bright laughter was especially attention-grabbing. However, when she lifted the curtains up, there wasn’t a single person to be found.

Li Jianyue became slightly unhappy. She walked around the room, yelling out, “Brother Mosen, you’re a little liar. Where exactly are you? Ersu can’t find you!”

However, nobody replied.

Feeling slightly disheartened, Li Jianyue continued to walk around the room and search left and right before eventually making her way into the kitchen.

The kitchen was clean and tidy.

After walking inside, she screamed, “Brother Chu… Brother Mosen… Brothers, where are guys?”

Li Jianyue yawned in between yelling. She opened the refrigerator and stood up on her tiptoes to get herself a bottle of milk. After she grabbed a bottle, she stabbed the straw into it and then began to suck up the milk through the straw.

Li Jianyue sat down onto the sofa, feeling defeated, but as she sucked on the milk, she suddenly thought of a spot where they could be hiding.

She ran toward the back of the staircase, where there was a tiny storage room. The toys they usually played with were kept there. In all their previous games of hide and seek, Li Jianyue had never searched there. Coincidentally, she had never managed to find anyone in any of their previous games.

Li Jianyue felt that she was extremely clever, and she yelled out gleefully, “I know where you guys are now!”

She had already run up to the tiny room behind the stairs. After she twisted the doorknob, she opened the door and walked inside.

However, while the lights in the room were on, there wasn’t a single person inside.

Li Jianyue stared at the room, which was filled with toys, and felt even more defeated. She could only close the door and let out a sigh.

However, all of a sudden, she seemed to have recalled something. She pushed the door open once again before looking behind it. Sure enough, there was a tall figure behind the door.

A sense of elation coursed through Li Jianyue, and just when she was about to let out a cry of joy, Yu Chulin immediately placed his finger to his lips and said, “Hush.”

When Li Jianyue saw his reaction, she found the sense of secretiveness thrilling. She, too, placed her finger to her lips and repeated, “Hush.”

Yu Chulin was the eldest among all of them, and he was naturally taller than them, too. When Yu Chulin saw Li Jianyue’s short and squat figure, he had to look down at her to say, “Come in.”

Li Jianyue blinked her eyes, which were as huge as blackberries, and stared at Yu Chulin.

Yu Chulin had a fair and clean complexion. It was not comparable to the naturally fair skin that Li Mosen had due to his race, but it was a healthy skin tone by Chinese standards.

He had a tall nose bridge and very red lips. His eyes were also very beautiful. When Li Jianyue first saw Yu Chulin, she had found this little brother very good looking.

When Li Jianyue heard him call her, she secretively squeezed into the room and said, “Brother Chu, what are you doing in here?”

Yu Chulin took out an assembled toy tank that could fire a cannon with a push of its button. But right now, the toy was falling apart, and it seemed like it was broken.

Li Jianyue stared at it and said, “Brother Chu, this is Brother Mosen’s favorite toy. Now that you’ve ruined it, he’ll be angry!”

There was a warning look in her eyes, as well as a look of worry. “What should we do? Brother Mosen will be upset if he sees this.”

Yu Chulin’s moist, rosy lips where tightly pursed, and a look of guilt flashed across his young, fair, and clean face. “I accidentally touched it earlier and dropped it,” he said. “I’ll fix it.”

Li Jianyue stared at the tank and said, “I believe that Brother Chu didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll also help!”
