"Hey, Jade, miss me yet?" Their mother answered the phone, greeting her daughter sweetly.

"Mom, it's me, Chad. I've got something to tell you."

Suddenly, Jade panicked. She hopped into Chad's arms, peppering his face with kisses.

Feeling the dampness on his cheek, he turned to look at the girl next to him. "Jade, are you trying to stir up trouble?"

"I messed up. Please don't tell mom, I promise I'll behave in the future," Jade whispered.

She wasn't sure why she'd just kissed Chad. A blurry memory from her childhood suggested that kissing someone would save her from punishment.

"What's going on over there? Are you two fighting? Jade is your sister, why are you picking on her?"

With her hands clasped together, Jade pleaded with Chad not to tell their parents. Chad reluctantly looked at her, handed her the phone, and headed upstairs. Jade quickly put the phone to her ear, "Mom, I miss you. When are you coming back? My brother always bullies me when you're not at home."

Chad, who hadn't gone far, heard and thought, "Women's words can't be trusted!"

The mother and daughter chatted over something, and the conversation went on for almost half an hour.

Chad went back to her, "Let's talk."

"Chad, mom said, if you keep bullying me at home, she will not let you off the hook when she's back."

"Who's talking about that? I'm talking about the boundaries between men and women. I'm your brother, and we're both adults. You can't kiss me randomly."

"What's wrong with kissing my own brother? I used to kiss you and dad all the time when I was little."

Chad pointed at Jade, "You have to watch out for this in the future."
