NOVEL WEB chapter 21

“Welcome home master brother*2”
At the entrance stood two virtuous wives and good mothers in aprons that left Gu Ming dumbfounded on the spot.
His eyes only lingered on them for a few seconds before he started frantically banging his head against the door next to him.
“Sensibility… sensibility… sensibility…”
“Eh*2? What happened?”
The two women were somewhat puzzled by this.
But they quickly stepped forward to hold Gu Ming. A few minutes later, Gu Ming was lying on the sofa, covering his flushed forehead and sighing continuously.
On the other side, the two women who had changed their clothes were sitting opposite him. They glanced at Gu Ming from time to time and couldn’t help feeling a little flustered. Tina looked at Mia with some blame,
“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s not all my fault.”
Seeing Tina staring at her without speaking, Mia defended herself,
“Besides, we’re in this together. If I go down, you can’t escape either.”
Tina just hummed lightly in response to her excuse, understanding that it wasn’t entirely her fault; she too had succumbed to temptation.
“So what do we do now? Every time I think about how disappointed Master is with me…”
Mia carefully observed Gu Ming’s expression and felt that things might not be as they seemed. She shared her thoughts with Tina,
“I actually think… maybe… he isn’t really angry with us.”
“Huh? Then why would he act like this?”
“Well… could it be because our aprons are a bit too provocative? Maybe next time we should wear something more modest?”
“How dare you say that!”
Tina lightly kicked Mia’s leg in embarrassment.
Despite appearing calm as an old dog, Mia was also quite flustered seeing Gu Ming like this. Her mind was blank as she retorted,
“So what do you suggest we do?”
Caught off guard by the question, Tina stuttered out a reply,
“Maybe… maybe we should apologize to Master first.”
“That works. You go first,”
Mia suggested tentatively.
“This…why don’t you go first?”
Mia shook her head, saying,
“I’m a bit scared.”
“Actually, so am I.”
“Then why don’t we go together?”
Tina nodded, and the two women bravely stood up to approach Gu Ming.
…
On Gu Ming’s side,
“Heh, little one, are you stunned? Thought you could control me by holding my weakness? What a joke. Today I’ll show you how I became an Oscar-winning actor.”
“Speaking of which, that apron is really fitting. I was thinking about sneaking another peek later. Sigh!”
Gu Ming shook his head to dispel his wicked thoughts.
“No good, no good. Can’t keep indulging in wine and lust like this. Damn it! Starting from today I’m quitting drinking. Oh no! They seem to be coming over here; better put on a decent act quickly.”
…
Tina was the first to bow and apologize.
“I’m sorry Master Brother.”
Gu Ming sat quietly on the sofa listening.
“We shouldn’t have…shouldn’t have done…that kind of thing that made Master Brother angry. We’re sorry for disappointing you.”
Mia followed suit quickly,
“Brother, I’m sorry too. Mia shouldn’t have made you angry either; using your dark past against you today was wrong of me. I’ll delete it right away. please stop being mad at us.”
Seeing that the timing was just about right, Gu Ming stood up.
“As long as you understand, that’s enough. I won’t say more, you both know it well.”
He patted their shoulders and continued,
“Alright, let’s call it a day. Everyone should get ready for dinner.”
Gu Ming walked slowly towards the stairs with his hands behind his back, leaving only a tall silhouette for the two women. They were touched by his gesture but what Gu Ming was actually thinking was,
“Yoohoo! It worked! My dark history is gone and I don’t have to worry about insomnia anymore. Hehe, life is like a play; it all depends on acting skills. My plan of killing two birds with one stone is simply perfect.”
On the stairs, Gu Ming unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth slightly. But this fleeting moment made Mia below who was still blaming herself feel something was wrong and she began to think over what had happened.
“Mia why are you staring at brother? He has already forgiven us. We should behave ourselves today… Ahh Mia are you listening? Where are you going?”
Mia who had discovered something amiss suddenly had an epiphany and quickly approached Gu Ming.
“Brother wait!”
Gu Ming who just went upstairs turned around in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing him still pretending in front of her didn’t annoy Mia; she looked at him and said,
“I need to delete those images which requires your cooperation.”
Without any suspicion Gu Ming came closer asking,
“How can I cooperate?”
Mia tried hard to suppress her smile as she said,
“Brother could you lower your head a bit?”
“Like this?”
“A little bit lower.”
“Enough, is it enough?”
“It’s enough, it’s enough.”
Mia seized the opportunity to kiss him. At this moment, Tina who was chasing Mia also came upstairs panting,
“Mia, why… are… you… running… so fast…”
Gu Ming who was kissed forcefully heard Tina’s voice and came back to his senses. He pulled away and said,
“Mia, if you trick your brother like this again, he will get angry.”
Mia wasn’t flustered at all and continued pressing him,
“Well then brother, why don’t you quickly show me how angry you can get? Get angry! Quickly! Brother, you’ve tricked us so badly that now Mia needs to give you a little punishment.”
Cornered against the wall Gu Ming saw that his secret was out. Looking at Mia in front of him he unconsciously swallowed.
“Mia listen to my defense – no – explanation. There is a reason for what I did…”
Gu Ming’s head was tightly held by Mia as she passionately kissed him.
A few minutes later, a satisfied Mia let go of Gu Ming and looked down at him from above,
“Brother be prepared for tonight. I’m going off to eat now; hurry up!”
With those words she happily skipped downstairs not forgetting to give Tina a meaningful look on her way out.
In the corridor upstairs one man and one woman looked at each other. Tina pitifully looked towards Gu Ming with an obvious meaning in her eyes. Gu Ming knew he couldn’t treat them differently; he had made his bed and now he had to lie in it.
Soon after making sure that Tina too felt satisfied for a few minutes the drama finally came down its curtain. As the saying goes if one cannot change their circumstances they might as well enjoy them; licking his lips Gu Ming savored the taste left behind.
“Heheh smooth indeed people need to learn how to enjoy themselves. Only by learning to enjoy can one be happy and cheerful.”
An hour later, the three of them huddled together for sleep after finishing their meal.
In the dark night Gu Ming felt like his clear-headed CPU was about to smoke.
“Mia let’s talk about this, can you not lie on top of me? I’m having a bit of trouble breathing.”
“Zzz… Mia is asleep, Mia can’t hear anything.”
Due to Gu Ming’s recent failed scheme, the relationship between the three of them had rapidly warmed up. In the past, a kiss on the cheek or a pat on the head was enough to placate someone. But now, even when sleeping, they would lie on top of Gu Ming, making it hard for him to breathe.
On the other side, Tina who was pretending to be asleep tightly hugged Gu Ming’s head and let him fully experience the joy of facial cleanser. However due to her positioning, Gu Ming found himself inhaling less and exhaling more which almost suffocated him after maintaining this position for a while.
“Mmd (꒪ͧ⌓꒪ͧ) Be tolerant and magnanimous… I won’t die today right? No! I still have hope! Spirit of wind…”
After mumbling these unclear words from his mouth, there was an increase in air flow around him and finally some breeze entered his nostrils.
“Inhale…exhale…Inhale…exhale…. Smells like mom.. Oops! Wrong! The smell of fresh air is really wonderful.”
Tina twisted her body weakly saying,
“Master brother it’s so ticklish.”
What could Gu Ming do in response to Tina’s coquettishness? He was completely defenseless.
Gu Ming slowly adjusted his breathing rate and even gentlemanly added heat into the air fearing that both girls might catch cold.
This night was destined to be cruel. Without any comfortable sleeping positions available for Gu Ming; their current posture was quite unique – Mia sprawled over him like an octopus while Tina covered his head snugly like a snail shell.
At this moment poor Gu Ming had no choice but suffer with body leaning leftwards and head rightwards; not only did he have difficulty breathing but also had to play the role of a central air conditioner.
“Ah, life is full of disappointments. When you encounter difficulties, please raise your left hand. The left hand represents hope and it will not bow down to difficulties… Ah, how can I sleep like this?”
