Chapter 54: Has Senior Sister Already Fallen for Chu Tian?

How could the five senior sisters truly be angry? They had simply banded together to tease Chu Tian, giving him a minor lesson so he wouldn’t let his thoughts wander too much toward other women. Even if Chu Tian was slow to catch on, he now realized his senior sisters were merely playing a prank on him.

So Chu Tian stripped down to nothing but his underwear and jumped into the pool, waving his hands to splash water at his five beautiful and voluptuous senior sisters. The five senior sisters joined in the fun, playing with Chu Tian. The scene was alluring and enchanting, stirring the imagination.

It was only after a long while that the laughter gradually faded.

"Little Tian, don’t be angry. We weren’t really trying to scare you," Qin Shiya said, patting Chu Tian’s shoulder. Perhaps she found him too pitiful and couldn’t help but comfort him.

At once, Chu Tian smiled in relief. If his senior sisters weren’t angry with him, how could he possibly be angry with them? As long as they didn’t blame him and allowed him to be with Wei Qingqiu, their playful antics were of no consequence.

"Fourth Sister, you’re too soft-hearted. If you forgive this brat so easily, he’ll only get worse in the future," Liu Qingxue said, her smile vanishing as she feigned seriousness once more. But her earlier laughter had already betrayed her; no matter how stern her expression now, she couldn’t hope to scare Chu Tian.

"I… I just thought Little Tian looked too pitiful," Qin Shiya pouted. After all, it hadn’t been easy to finally have a junior brother—if they played too rough, what then?

"Here, have some watermelon juice," Ye Binglan said, holding up the glass she had been drinking from and passing it directly to Chu Tian’s lips. "This watermelon juice is quite good, and you’ve been standing in the sun for so long—you must be thirsty."

Chu Tian didn’t hesitate; he took the straw in his mouth and sipped the cold watermelon juice. This was the same glass Ye Binglan had just used, and now Chu Tian was drinking from it—sharing the same straw, wasn’t this a subtle form of kissing? Instantly, Chu Tian’s thoughts wandered, once again confirming that his senior sisters truly weren’t angry with him.

Just then, Gao Haiting leaned close to Chu Tian, her lips nearly brushing his earlobe.

"Little Tian, tell your senior sister the truth—do you really like Wei Qingqiu?" Gao Haiting’s tone was ambiguous, as if she were very curious about their relationship.

"Sixth Sister, I do like Qingqiu, but my feelings for her are the same as my feelings for all seven of my senior sisters," Chu Tian said, taking a deep breath and seizing the opportunity to lay his heart bare.

Such a rare atmosphere had arisen; if he didn’t express his feelings before the five senior sisters, he might find it hard to speak up in the future. The women were taken aback. Their gazes toward Chu Tian grew meaningful.

After a long silence, Ye Binglan was the first to recover.

"Smooth talker, are you hoping to win the hearts of all seven of your beautiful senior sisters?" Ye Binglan smiled bewitchingly, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. Whether or not the seven beautiful senior sisters would agree, Chu Tian’s bold ambition alone was impressive.

Actually, before Chu Tian arrived, the seven senior sisters had already imagined what their future junior brother would be like. If they truly had to dedicate themselves to him, they were mentally prepared. They had even secretly made a pact: if they were to give themselves to their junior brother, they would all marry him together so the seven sisters would never be separated.

But when Chu Tian actually appeared, he didn’t leave a bad impression. Chu Tian was handsome, decisive, and able to protect his senior sisters in times of danger. If they really chose Chu Tian as their man, it seemed like a fine choice.

At that thought, Ye Binglan’s cheeks flushed inexplicably. Not knowing why, she quickly pushed the idea aside.

"Second Sister, I truly do have that wish, but I don’t know what you all think—whether you would give me the chance," Chu Tian said, nodding without the slightest embarrassment. After all, his seven senior sisters were all stunning beauties; choosing just one would be torment. Only children would make such choices—Chu Tian wanted them all!

The five senior sisters exchanged glances, laughter fading as they fell into contemplation.

After a while, Liu Qingxue parted her lips and spoke for the group.

"If you wish to pursue your senior sisters, it depends on your performance," Liu Qingxue said with a gentle smile. She neither agreed nor refused, leaving Chu Tian with plenty to imagine.

"Eldest Sister, if I perform well, does that mean I could…" Chu Tian’s eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn of hope.

"Prepare a fruit platter for us, and let’s see how you do," Liu Qingxue said, her expression changing as she stopped answering and instead ordered Chu Tian to do some work.

"No problem," Chu Tian replied immediately and turned toward the villa.

As his figure disappeared inside, the senior sisters all gathered around Liu Qingxue.

"Eldest Sister, didn’t you once say you’d kept yourself pure for over twenty years, and that you wouldn’t let even a pig or dog have you, let alone our junior brother?" Ye Binglan stared at Liu Qingxue, hoping for a reasonable explanation.

"That’s right, you also said you wanted to drive him out, and we were all cooperating with you. Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Lin Qinghan nodded quickly. The usually decisive eldest sister seemed to contradict herself when it came to Chu Tian.

Qin Shiya and Gao Haiting didn’t speak, but their eyes were fixed intently on Liu Qingxue, full of meaning.

At once, Liu Qingxue’s cheeks flushed.

"I… I was just speaking out of anger at the time," Liu Qingxue stammered, turning her head away.

"Eldest Sister, could it be that you’ve already fallen for Little Tian?" Qin Shiya exaggerated her expression, as if she had uncovered a shocking secret.

"Nonsense!" Liu Qingxue’s face hardened. At most, she had a favorable impression of Chu Tian, but it was far from love.

Qin Shiya quickly closed her mouth; if she revealed the eldest sister’s feelings, would she be silenced tonight?

At that moment, Liu Qingxue composed herself and faced her sisters again.

"Wu Xingyan is dead. We no longer need to be controlled and can freely choose our destinies. Little Tian truly is outstanding, and I can see he’s serious about us—but we have our right to choose. No matter whether we accept him or not, or who accepts him, I hope it won’t affect the bond between us as senior sisters and junior brother. Do you understand what I mean?" Liu Qingxue spoke earnestly, her tone heartfelt.

The women exchanged glances; of course, they understood the eldest sister’s meaning. Chu Tian was indeed exceptional—a man worthy of entrusting oneself to.

For a moment, the atmosphere by the pool grew strange, as if the women were lost in their own thoughts, imagining what the future might hold for them and Chu Tian…
