Bright Sampson watched as Jane Sampson lazily leaned back on the sofa without moving, feeling anxious as he sneakily reached out to tug at the leg of her trousers. Once she looked towards him, Bright Sampson quickly gave Jane Sampson a meaningful glance.
"Whatās up? Got something wrong with your eyes?" Jane Sampson drew her feet back, "Why are you standing there like a dolt, hurry up and continue this round!"
Bright Sampson looked up at the ceiling, thinking his sister was probably beyond help.
It must be because sheās been with her brother-in-law for so many years that her mental state has been disturbed.
"Hurry up." Jane Sampson, not seeing Bright Sampson move for a while, pulled him back to standing and then turned her head to look at James Black with a giggle, "Iāll be fast! Right, wash the beef and remember to chop it finely."
The corner of James Blackās mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, and Bright Sampson, with his mobile phone held tight, was pressed down on the sofa by his own foolish sister, his little heart trembling. "Or should I just go help my brother-in-law with the vegetables?" He wasnāt feeling at all easy about playing the game.
"No need, you guys do your thing," James Black finally said before heading into the kitchen with his stuff.
As soon as James Blackās figure disappeared from the living room, Bright Sampson felt the living room suddenly expand.
Some people, without even being angry, just stand there and exude an intimidating presence.
Like, for instance, his brother-in-law.
"Sister, youāre bossing brother-in-law around to do kitchen work, isnāt he going to scold you?" Bright Sampson was now thinking, whatās the point of playing the game anymore? He had absolutely no desire to continue, and with a swift move, he snatched Jane Sampsonās mobile phone, unafraid of the glare she shot his way.
"You put your legs up on the sofa, and brother-in-law doesnāt say anything?" Bright Sampson said. "Last time I came to see you, you were wearing a dress he didnāt like, and you had to sneak around. This time, how come you seem not to be afraid of him at all?"
"That was when I was young and naive, whatās there to fear?" Jane Sampsonās smile was one of triumph, and if she had a tail, she would definitely be shaking it now. "Heās just a paper tiger! Looks fierce, but thatās just itāonly looks."
And at that very moment, the āpaper tigerā who just looked fierce stood at the kitchen doorway, hearing Jane Sampsonās words, his eyebrows raised slightly. This was the first time someone had called him a paper tiger, and one that just looked fierce at that.
"..." Bright Sampson could finally confirm itāhis sister had gone mad.
Who the hell would call James Black a paper tiger? Even Peter Gingery wouldnāt dare!
Heās clearly a giant carnivorous beast.
"Jane Sampson," James Black stood at the doorway and suddenly called out to the person on the sofa grappling with the mobile phone.
It was obvious that his voice made someoneās actions come to a jarring halt, and then quickly turn around to glance his way.
"Come here," James Black said indifferently, leaning on the frame of the kitchen door.
"Go, go, go! Hurry up!" Bright Sampson promptly pushed her towards him.
"Heh, dear brother," Jane Sampson bared her teeth at Bright Sampson and then scurried towards James Black, internally muttering that he surely hadnāt heard what she said just now, right?
She had spoken quite softly, hadnāt she?
Even if he had heard, he wouldnāt be angry, would he?
The two of them entered the kitchen, and Jane Sampson realized that James Black had just dropped a bag of stuff on the ground. Her heart skipped a beat. Dropping a bag so quickly, this guy must have heard.
As she turned around, she met James Blackās smile that was not quite a smile.
Jane Sampsonās facial muscles twitched a couple of times, and then she forced a placating smile, "Why donāt you go read a book in the study? I can take care of things here."
The meat didnāt need to be chopped by the paper tiger any longer, she dared not boss him around anymore.
