Chapter 1458


    Because Lil Star showed off Erik''s brave conduct in front of Anthea, after dinner, Erik was


    summoned to the study by his mother.


    Although Anthea knew the details of the whole story and realized that there was a reason for his


    son to start a fight, she still believed that, in any case, fighting was a wrong solution. She insisted on


    this point, and therefore she decided to give her son a little punishment. Erik was ordered to stay in


    the room and reflect upon what he had done wrong for two hours.


    Under the canopy, the moon was shining brightly. It was alreadyte at night.


    Anthea stopped Lil Star who was holding her toys and running downstairs and upstairs. She


    reminded her daughter that it was time to go to bed. Otherwise, she would not be able to get up


    early and go to school tomorrow.


    Lil Star was very obedient in front of her mother. She put down her toys and went back to her room


    with her mother.


    After Anthea helped her daughter take a bath, she put her onto the princess bed. While covering


    her with a quilt, Anthea said somewhat worriedly, "Lil Star, you have to sleep in your own room


    tonight. Don''t sneak into your brother''s room again, okay?"


    She had emphasized this to her daughter almost every night.


    But from time to time, Anthea would always catch her daughter sleeping on her son''s bed the next


    morning.


    Lil Star blinked her eyes. She was as obedient as she could possibly be. "Humm!"


    Looking at her daughter''s cute face, Anthea feltfortable and touched. She leaned over and


    kissed Lil Star''s forehead.


    "Good night, Mom..." Lil Star''s voice was sweet.


    "Good night!" Anthea smiled.


    After turning off the light, Anthea went back to the master bedroom and talked with her husband,


    who was in the army, through videomunication.


    The Chin family had the tradition of training their children in military postures. This tradition started


    from Adam''s father, Bemy Chin. Erik had been influenced by Adam, a military officer, since he


    was a child. Although he was only an elementary school student now, his military postures were


    very standard.


    At this time, he stood in the corner of the room and seriously reflected upon what he had done


    wrong. This was the punishment ordered by his mother.


    The phone rang. This meant that the two hours of punishment was over. Erik breathed a sigh of


    relief and went into the bathroom to take a bath and change into his pajamas.


    As soon as he lifted the quilt andy down on the bed, he heard someone twisting the doorknob.


    The doorknob was twisted bit by bit, as if this person was a thief.


    Erik seemed to have expected this. He was not surprised at all. He just waited calmly.


    The door was opened, and a little head protruded into the room through the crack between the door


    and its frame.


    After that, Lil Star, who was also wearing pajamas, ran in barefooted. She closed the door carefully


    and locked it from the inside. Her movements were skillful, as if she had done it many times before.


    She threw herself onto his bed and smiled.


    "Erik, I want to sleep with you!"


    Erik helped her onto the bed and said helplessly, "Lil Star, didn''t Mom tell you that we can''t sleep


    together in the future!"


    "But without you, I couldn’t sleep well. I would have nightmares at night. Big monsters would chase


    after me and want to eat me!" Lil Star had plenty of reasons every she wanted to sleep with her


    brother.


    Then, she used another unique skill, "Erik..." Erik sighed, raised his hand to rub her head, and


    patiently exined, "Lil Star, there is a distinction between men and women. I am a boy, and you


    are a girl, and therefore we can''t sleep together. This is not allowed!"


    He was ten years old now, and would go to middle school next year. Although he didn''t understand


    everything about men and women, he knew a lot more than she did.


    For instance, Lil Star only knew that it was a very shameful thing to have her skirt lifted by a male


    student in the school. However, she didn''t know much more than that. After all, they weren''t very


    little kids. It seemed to be unsuitable for the two of them to sleep together indeed.


    Lil Star''s face darkened. "Is it impossible for us to do that in the future?"


    "Things may change in the future..." Erik''s voice was a little low, and there was an air of emotional


    changes in his eyes. He coughed and just emphasized, "But not now!"


    "Oh!" Lil Star was extremely disappointed.


    Erik covered her with the quilt and lightly touched her little nose. "It will be thest time for us to


    sleep together tonight. Don''t you understand? Lil Star, you have to sleep in your own room from


    tomorrow on!" "Okay!" Lil Star nodded reluctantly. She turned over and crept into his arms. She held


    his arms and muttered, "Erik, please sing songs for me, or tell me stories!"


    Erik smiled and patted Lil Star rhythmically. He told her the bedtime story in a soft voice.


    Lil Star stretched out her body satisfyingly and smelt the scent of him. Soon afterward, she fell


    asleep.


    Erik didn''t sleep immediately. He looked at her quiet and sweet face with a delightful smile.


    He brushed away the strands of hair and kissed her forehead tenderly.

    Erik murmured, "Lil Star, I hope you can grow up quickly!"


    Maybe Lil Star had heard what Erik said in her sleep. She turned over in his arms, grabbed his arms


    tightly, and mumbled in sleep talk, "Brother..."


    The bright moonshine shed on the bed. The two kids slept together head to head. Their childish


    faces were young and bright. It looked like a warm and beautiful painting.


    However...


    There were always twists and turns at the most beautiful moments of people''s lives.


    In Tbridge City, the weather at the end of August was still very hot.


    Crystal Chin (formerly referred to as "Lil Star"), who was about to turn twenty this year, carried her


    mountaineering bag and lined up together with the other volunteers in the medical team to get on


    the train.


    The train parked near the tform was not an ordinary train, but a special train of the army. It had


    only four carriages, inside which there were all masculine soldiers.


    The medical team of Crystal originally nned to leave Tbridge City by bus. However, an


    unexpected ident ofndslide urred, which caused the road to be blocked. The medical team


    hade to Tbridge City for providing humanitarian assistance to local people. Yet how they could


    return to Francis City smoothly had be a problem.


    Thendslide was very serious. It would take at least ten days to repair the road, and only when


    safety could be properly guaranteed would they be able to continue their journey after ten days of


    repair.


    After negotiation with the local authorities, it was arranged that members of the medical team were


    to leave Tbridge City by this train.


    It had been half a month since they came to Tbridge City. Although the temperature here was not as


    high as that in Francis City, it was a high-altitude area, and the ultraviolet level here was high.


    Almost all the members of the medical team had been tanned by the sunshine here, and Crystal


    appeared to be the only exception. Her skin was fair and tender enough to resist the tanning effect


    of sunshine in this teau area.


    She was exceptionally eye-catching among the other team members.


    Some of the female volunteersined to Crystal and asked why her skin was still fair and


    tender after being exposed to the sunshine for such a long time.


    Crystal shrugged her shoulders. She was also somewhat confused. "Maybe it''s because of my


    gic endowment... There''s nothing else I can do about it!"


    The other female volunteers were speechless."..."


    Very soon, all members of the medical team boarded the train.


    Crystal only took two sets of clothes with her this time. There was almost nothing else in her


    mountaineering bag, and therefore it was very light. Her parents had never wanted her to be a


    coddled girl. She was independent in her nature. She easily put her mountaineering bag on the rack


    and didn''t need to ask others to help her.


    She was not short in height and didn''t even need to stand on her tiptoe.


    After putting the mountaineering bag on the rack, Crystal was about to withdraw her arms.


    Suddenly, the train began to move on.


    The carriage shook violently for twice.


    Crystal didn''t prepare herself properly for this sudden movement of the train, and she fell


    backwards. There was nothing in the air where she could catch and keep her bnce.


    Suddenly, an arm stretched out in the air.


    What followed was a very low but maic male''s voice, "Be careful!"


    His arm was firm and powerful. It helped her to keep bnce.


    Crystal felt that her waist was embraced by a man''s arm, and she had thefortable feeling of


    being electrocuted slightly. Her waist and back were immediately filled with pleasant sensations.
