Morning, bedroom.
The morning sunlight filtered through the window, passing through tiny specks of dust to sketch a hazy path of light before finally landing on Jiang Cheng’s thin pajamas.
Her delicate curves were fully visible.
“Mm~~”
She stretched lazily, refreshed and full of energy.
“Sleeping while holding a girl—awesome!”
—Hajime Cheng, you bastard, you can’t even spare a girl in a wheelchair… what a huge pervert!
A faint sense of guilt crept in, so Jiang Cheng got up and gave herself a solemn repentance in front of the mirror… Yep, now she felt zero guilt at all.
In fact, she was already scheming about whether to visit Su Mengyao after midnight tonight.
After all, she’d already experienced holding a beautiful girl while sleeping; she hadn’t yet been held by one~
Speaking of which, she’d promised to go to Sister Mengyao’s place yesterday, but ended up at Xiao Xiqiu’s for two days straight… well, it probably wouldn’t be a problem, right?
—What a two-timing jerk, ptooey!
Humming a cheerful tune, Jiang Cheng changed into a lightweight tracksuit, feeling light on her feet, and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
In the living room, Jiang Xiaotang sat on the sofa holding the phone Jiang Cheng had just bought, her little legs swinging back and forth, looking very happy.
Watching a video?
Without making a sound, Jiang Cheng crept up behind the girl.
“Boo—!”
Suddenly jumping out.
“Wah!”
The girl, startled by her sister’s sudden attack, fumbled and quickly shut down the phone, shoving it into her chest, but forgot to pause the video. Sound came from the phone: “Chapter 150, Elder Sister, am I cute?”
Jiang Xiaotang’s face turned bright red. She scrambled to pull out the phone to mute it, but her hands were too small to hold the screen, and the phone fell with a slap.
The girl dove onto the phone to cover the sound. After another flurry of chaos, the farce finally ended.
“Go… good morning!”
Jiang Xiaotang’s face was completely flushed, her voice stammering, her gaze darting around, not daring to meet her sister’s eyes.
Watching something so intently that she got scared like that?
“Good morning,” Jiang Cheng guessed inwardly, greeting her lightly.
“Mmm… Sister woke up so early today…”
Supporting herself on the sofa, the little girl climbed up from the floor and looked up at Jiang Cheng.
“Huh?”
She was a bit surprised.
“Sister seems really happy today. Did something good happen?”
The girl remembered that her sister often locked herself in her room. At first, she thought it was just because she was an adult now and needed privacy for certain things.
But after long observation, she realized—there was absolutely no sound!
How could there be no sound? The room wasn’t even that soundproof…
Well, occasionally there were some strange noises…
So, Jiang Xiaotang guessed her sister must be doing something else.
Like… online dating?
With that big sister who likes stepping on people with high heels?
Seeing Jiang Cheng’s spring-like expression, Xiaotang felt sure that was it.
She hoped that big sister would be gentle…
“Sister, you have to be careful. Don’t get tricked by weird people,” she finally decided to warn her sister.
Ah, after all, I’m a responsible little sister~
Suddenly telling her to be careful? What for?
Jiang Cheng was puzzled, but before she could ask, the girl put down her phone and trotted toward the kitchen.
“Xiaotang is going to make breakfast for Sister! Go wash up!”
Alright then.
The girl shrugged helplessly.
Ever since the parent-child activity the day before yesterday, Jiang Xiaotang had pestered and begged her way into getting the right to cook.
Even though Jiang Cheng felt it wasn’t right for a middle schooler to cook for her, seeing Jiang Xiaotang’s happy face made her unable to refuse.
Anyway, at least Xiaotang seemed happier than before.
Entering the bathroom, Jiang Cheng turned on the faucet, splashed her face, then looked up to admire herself in the mirror.
“No matter how many times I look, I’m still this cute.”
After that exclamation, she called up the system page.
“System, explain what that experience card from the mission is for.”
[Ding——]
[LV3 Experience Card: Select an LV2 talent and raise its level to LV3, retaining experience.]
So it’s just an upgrade card…
Jiang Cheng fell into thought.
LV2 talents… currently only Acting Cute and Music Theory.
For now, if she wanted to be a virtual idol, Music Theory might be more important—otherwise, she was still a bit behind Xiao Xiqiu in skill.
But Acting Cute was also very useful, and unlike Music Theory, it couldn’t be grinded for experience anytime…
Imagine this: Jiang Cheng becomes Dongxue, during a live broadcast she wears an exquisite virtual avatar and sets up a cute persona. The audience hears Dongxue’s gentle, pleasant voice and definitely wants to see the real person behind the avatar.
Then Jiang Cheng flatly refuses to reveal her real identity, disappointing the audience, even sparking arguments in the comments about voice changers…
—Hey, wrong! A transformation device is also a voice changer~
Then, at the moment when the comment section is at its most heated and popular, she fakes a broadcast accident to reveal her real face, convincing Ye Xiqiu to show their faces and act cute together. Wouldn’t that generate massive traffic?
Then maybe the trending list on Cat Station would be: “Shocking! The real identities of famous virtual idols Dongxue and Shengxia are even cuter than their avatars.”
Just thinking about it made her thrilled.
Ye Xiqiu, a natural sympathy-drawing wheelchair beauty, and Dongxue, such a big-hearted older sister—they were a perfect ship that would drive all yuri fans worldwide crazy.
Then Xiao Xiqiu would get the recognition she wanted, and as for Dongxue? Just some irrelevant money.
Hehe.
After daydreaming, Jiang Cheng finally made her decision.
I’ll upgrade Acting Cute!
After all, my ultimate plan is to make white-haired girls dominate the world!
White hair, number one in the world!
[Congratulations, Host. Acting Cute has been upgraded to LV3.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have unlocked the passive skill: Charm Everyone.]
[The base favorability of strangers toward the host is greatly increased.]
Even a passive skill?
Jiang Cheng was stunned, then immediately asked,
“System, what does this passive skill mean?”
[Tip: Every talent at LV3 and above grants the host a passive skill. There is no upper limit.]
“Damn, why didn’t you say that earlier!”
Jiang Cheng got excited.
After all, besides Music Theory and Acting Cute, she also had Soothing, Dexterity, and Being Adorable as solidified talents. Once she leveled them all to LV3…
“System, if I get Soothing to LV3, will I unlock hypnosis? Like, if I pat someone’s head, they fall into deep sleep?”
[…]
[Host, you have… quite an imagination…]
“You bet,” Jiang Cheng said with a proud, tsundere puff of her chest.
“Ever since I was little, teachers said I was very smart, just unwilling to put effort into studying. Doesn’t that prove I’m super intelligent?”
[Host, this system thinks those were just polite words…]
“Oh, oh, I know you’re jealous of me. No need to say more.”
[…]
Why did it feel like punching its host in the face?
Calm down, system, you must stay calm…
Jiang Cheng opened her mouth as if to boast more about her wisdom, but Jiang Xiaotang’s voice came from the kitchen.
“Sister, time to eat~”
“Coming~”
Replying, Jiang Cheng quickly walked to the living room.
Beside the table in the center of the room, the girl was facing away from her, bent over, trying hard to arrange the dishes.
A plate of greens, a plate of scrambled eggs, plus rice cooked in advance—a simple breakfast was ready.
“Sister…”
Hearing footsteps behind her, Jiang Xiaotang happily turned around, but the moment she saw Jiang Cheng, she froze.
