Returning from the clan territory, Yùlínglóng and her younger sister prepared a welcome party for Bai Xiǎonuò, decorating the house to look like a cozy little love nest.
When Bai Xiǎonuò came back and pushed open the door, she saw the corridor brightly adorned with lanterns and pink ribbons hanging everywhere.
At first glance, she almost thought it was the Lunar New Year.
“Línglóng jie, Xiǎo Yù, what’s all this?”
Yùlínglóng turned around, revealing her full, graceful figure. “We’re throwing you a welcome party. How is it? Not bad, right?”
“Well… I’d say it’s a bit too focused on appearances,” Bai Xiǎonuò replied seriously. “It’d be better if the emphasis was on the food.”
No sooner had she spoken than Xiǎoyù wheeled in a food cart, joining her sister to place dishes on the table.
Bai Xiǎonuò even spotted a whole roasted chicken.
Taking a deep breath, the scent of freely earned food filled the air—delicious!
Better to accept with grace than refuse, and Bai Xiǎonuò wasn’t one to be overly polite anyway.
She sat down and started eating immediately, her little mouth quickly stuffed to capacity.
“Bai Xiǎonuò, I heard you’re willing to teach Xiǎoyù at home,” Yùlínglóng said softly. “To thank you, I cooked all these dishes myself today. Do you like them?”
“I love it, love it! So this is Línglóng jie’s cooking,” Bai Xiǎonuò mumbled with her mouth full. “I’m so touched.”
Xiǎoyù held her chopsticks hesitantly, really wanting to sneak a chicken leg before Bai Xiǎonuò finished them all.
But Yùlínglóng gave her a stern look, signaling her to focus on the main task first.
Why are you still eyeing the roasted chicken on the plate?
Isn’t there a big roast chicken sitting right across from you?
Doesn’t the flavor of anime chicken taste better than braised chicken?
Well, since Bai Xiǎonuò had a cartoon anime girl drawn on her backpack when she arrived a few days ago, everyone knew she was an otaku.
Xiǎoyù thought about it and nodded.
Then she wiped her mouth and brought out a cup of black tea from behind her.
“Teacher Bai, this tea is a token of my respect.”
Bai Xiǎonuò glanced at it, took it, and set it aside. “Your intention is enough. We’re about the same age; there’s no need for such ceremony.”
Huh?
Xiǎoyù quickly said, “Teacher Bai, at least have a sip. I practiced for a long time to brew this.”
Bai Xiǎonuò shook her head. “I’m eating chicken now. Drinking tea would spoil the taste.”
She stood up and poured herself a bowl of chicken soup. “Drinking soup is always a pleasure.”
Thump thump thump!
“Phew, I’m full. Thank you for the hospitality, Línglóng jie. I’m going to rest now,” Bai Xiǎonuò said. “If Xiǎoyù has any learning difficulties, just come find me directly.”
Then she turned and went back to her room.
Everything happened so fast that the black tea still steamed on the side, leaving the blonde loli across the table dumbfounded.
“No, sis, she… I… you…”
Yùlínglóng sighed at her foolish little sister.
“These past few years, because of some subcultures spreading in human society, black tea has developed an almost automatic alert effect, making it very hard to get anyone.”
Xiǎoyù clenched her small fists in frustration, her face red.
Finally, she slammed the table. “This is ridiculous! I’ll just force it through like a tyrant…”
“No need. I already knew you’d fail, so why wouldn’t I have made other arrangements?” Yùlínglóng smiled sweetly. “I put some in the chicken soup too.”
Good, good!
Just like a big sister!
Xiǎoyù’s excited face flushed bright red. “So now, has she already…”
“Let her sleep peacefully for now,” Yùlínglóng said indulgently. “You go tonight; I’ll keep watch outside.”
Good things first for the little sister.
Like Kong Rong yielding pears, Línglóng yielding milk—this is a traditional virtue in Huaxia.
…………
“So delicious, so full. There really are more good people in the world.”
Bai Xiǎonuò returned to her room satisfied, climbed into bed, and not sure if it was because she’d eaten too much, sleepiness quickly washed over her.
She wanted to change into pajamas, but as soon as she took off her coat and before she could put on her sleepwear, her little head started to feel dizzy.
Forget it.
I’ll just sleep like this. Zzzz.
After a while, the sleeping Bai Xiǎonuò’s “tuántuán” shook a few times, emitting a sound. “What’s going on, Xiǎonuo?”
The “tuántuán” itself couldn’t speak. The voice came from the ancestral jade pendant inside it.
Under the influence of the ancestor’s power, the jade pendant was very soft.
By chance, when Bai Xiǎonuò wore it, the ancestor slipped inside and found that since the “tuántuán” was large enough, the jade pendant inside caused no discomfort.
Sometimes, the ancestor would push outward, making the “tuántuán” shake like a soothing massage, just like now. So Bai Xiǎonuò kept wearing it.
But today, the ancestor had been shaking it for quite a while without a response from her cute descendant.
Struggling out from the snowy mountains and valleys inside, she looked closely and saw Bai Xiǎonuò sound asleep.
“Sleeping so early today?” the ancestor muttered, glancing down. “This girl, going to bed in just her underwear, not afraid of catching a cold.”
Because it was too large to be fully covered, even half coverage was a stretch, so Bai Xiǎonuò wore a tie-style set that just covered the essentials.
As for why the panties were also tie-style—don’t ask; just know it was for matching.
The ancestor used her power to pull the blanket over Bai Xiǎonuò, then crawled up to the pillow and closed her eyes, listening to the girl’s sweet breathing.
She thought to herself, these past few days must have been tough for Xiǎonuo, facing so many things and constantly resisting the invasion of “arrogance.” Finding such a safe haven and getting life back on track is already impressive.
Of course, Xiǎonuo was also lucky to randomly find such a good co-rental place online.
The landlord sisters didn’t ask for rent, let her stay, and even enthusiastically treated her to dinner.
The ancestor’s view of the modern world had greatly improved.
Just like Xiǎonuò said, there really are more good people in the world.
Just as the ancestor thought this, she suddenly heard a click as the door was opened from outside.
Hmm?
“Heh heh, since you love eating, eat all you want. The price is that after you finish, you’ll sleep and wake up with a sore butt!”
The landlord sister, just defined by the ancestor as a good person in this world, slipped off her shoes, climbed onto the bed in white ankle socks, and slowly straddled Bai Xiǎonuò’s body along the curves hidden beneath the sheets… then got stuck, looking down at a pair of proud bulges blocking her way.
The snowy mountains blocked her path forward, but it didn’t matter; from here, she could already see Bai Xiǎonuò’s adorable face.
“Eat, eat, eat! You ate both chicken legs all by yourself,” the blonde loli said bitterly, “So now you’ll be the roast chicken!”
She lifted a corner of the blanket, revealing white tie-style underwear nestled in soft, pale flesh that was dazzling to the eyes.
Wearing this kind of underwear, she truly is roast chicken!
Xiǎoyù didn’t hesitate and retaliated with a few pinches.
“Ugh… mm~”
Bai Xiǎonuò slowly woke, feeling someone massaging her “tuántuán.”
At first, she thought it was the ancestor, but quickly realized it wasn’t.
The ancestor’s massages came from inside; this one was external.
No, it’s someone else!
Bai Xiǎonuò snapped her eyes open and locked gazes with the blonde loli.
Both were stunned.
“You… how did you wake up so fast!”
