Looking at her sister lying in another woman’s arms, Jiang Xiaotang was sure she must have opened the door wrong.
She closed the door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open again.
The room was still the same room, and her sister was still the same sister—still lying in Aunt Lin Luoying’s arms, only now with her eyes closed, as if asleep.
But she clearly remembered her sister had been awake just a moment ago, right?
Rubbing her chin, Jiang Xiaotang calmly thought it over and finally reached a conclusion.
‘I must have seen it wrong!’
Otherwise, why wouldn’t her sister resist?
“Jiang Xiaotang, what are you staring at so intently?”
Seeing the girl’s serious expression, Lin Luoying turned to look at the bed.
She saw her aunt holding Jiang Xiaotang’s sister.
“Holy crap!”
Lin Luoying jumped.
“Jiang Xiaotang, why is your sister in my aunt’s bed—Mmph mmph!”
The girl quickly rose on her tiptoes and covered the blundering girl’s mouth, pushed and shoved her away from the bedroom door, casually shut it behind them, and even locked it for good measure.
She really does care, I’m crying.
“Mmph! Let me go!”
Once back in the living room, Lin Luoying struggled.
Jiang Xiaotang had been walking on tiptoes all the way and was getting a little tired, so she let go of her mouth.
“Phew, you nearly suffocated me…”
Lin Luoying gasped for air, then complained, “Seriously, why did you cover my mouth? It’s not like saying a few words would do anything.”
“They’re just sleeping together. It’s no big deal,” she said.
“It’s totally normal to share a bed with a friend… Hey! What’s with that scornful look?”
Jiang Xiaotang didn’t even bother to respond to Lin Luoying.
She had nothing in common with someone who had never read a yuri story before.
Seeing that scene just now, Jiang Xiaotang finally let go of the worry that had been hanging over her all this time.
Her sister was just being used as a body pillow, not as a punching bag—that was already good enough.
Although she thought her sister probably wouldn’t take it lying down and would fight back.
But Jiang Xiaotang had read a lot of books.
She wasn’t worried at all—in fact, she was a little excited.
According to the plot in the books, her sister would wake up, first demand, “Why am I in your bed?” then they would love and kill each other, starting a torrid, unprecedented love-hate relationship!
Well, maybe not too much torment.
Anyway, her sister would resist and be forced, and in the process of resisting, she would gradually enjoy this feeling of forced love.
But she would always be too embarrassed to say it, so she would just pretend the other was still her sworn enemy.
Finally, in some accident, she would briefly lose the other, then finally realize her own feelings and, disregarding all worldly obstacles, entangle themselves passionately and never be separated!
Yay! It’s a happy ending!
In her excitement, Jiang Xiaotang even felt a little guilty.
‘Sorry, big sis…’
‘Sworn enemy + forced love is just too delicious—I can’t help it…’
On the other side, after hearing the lock click, Jiang Cheng, lying on the bed, opened her eyes with a dead look.
How did it come to this…
Earning a hundred thousand yuan, cuddling with a beautiful girl, and having her little sister safe and sound—three happy things, and these three joys intertwined, bringing her even more happiness.
It should have been a dreamlike, blissful time…
But why… Why did it turn out like this?
Jiang Cheng felt she should just escape this planet and go start a second life on so-called Cat Star… Or a cat’s life, for that matter.
Either way, she had no face left to stay in this city.
‘Ugh… My little sister didn’t know I was doing this job…’
“Don’t… Don’t look at me like that…”
Exhausted to the extreme, Lin Shuangxue murmured in her sleep.
You know, it was actually kind of cute.
Jiang Cheng naturally knew what she was talking about.
The people at Haiyuan Academy definitely didn’t know that the seemingly aloof Miss Lin Shuangxue was actually a socially awkward idiot in private!
Jiang Cheng thought maliciously.
After all, in the manga, Lin Shuangxue had been searching for someone who could stand on equal footing with her and also accept her true self… a maid?
—I can’t be your best friend, sworn enemy, maid, and stress relief tool all at the same time.jpg
“Don’t go… okay…”
“Just… be friends… okay…”
On any normal day, Jiang Cheng would have sneaked out her phone to record this as blackmail and threatened Lin Shuangxue to pay up or else.
But right now, she absolutely had no mood for that.
Let the world end. Just hurry up.
Jiang Cheng felt that nothing could get her moving anymore.
Until Lin Shuangxue rolled over in her sleep and heavily pinned her underneath.
“Hey! Hey! What are you doing!”
Looking at Lin Shuangxue’s face so close, Jiang Cheng panicked.
‘I was just badmouthing you a little—you don’t have to kill me to shut me up, do you!’
Compared to the petite Jiang Cheng, Lin Shuangxue, a full one meter seventy-eight, was practically a little giant.
The girl had no way to resist.
Luckily, Lin Shuangxue was mostly lying on her side, not completely on top of Jiang Cheng.
Otherwise, Jiang Cheng would have had to either transform into her elder sister form and wrestle Lin Shuangxue passionately, or raise both hands and feet in surrender.
Even so, Lin Shuangxue’s chest was pressing down so hard that Jiang Cheng could barely breathe.
Her whole body stiffened, and she felt terrible.
At this distance, Jiang Cheng couldn’t look away.
So she closed her eyes.
But once her eyes were closed, her other senses became sharper.
She could hear Lin Shuangxue’s even breathing, smell the pleasant scent on her, and feel the softness enveloping her entire body.
She could even feel Lin Shuangxue’s heartbeat, pressing against her chest.
Thump—thump—
Slow but powerful.
Jiang Cheng felt that if she kept this up, she might lose control of herself.
So the girl opened her eyes and saw Lin Shuangxue’s peaceful sleeping face.
Her brows were relaxed, the usual sharp tips of her eyebrows drooping, making her look not fierce at all.
Her lips, too—normally pressed half-closed to force a blank expression, they were now naturally slightly pursed, looking very kissable.
She didn’t look at all like the haughty young miss, but rather like a clingy big cat.
Jiang Cheng actually kind of wanted to get a catgirl outfit for Lin Shuangxue to wear.
‘Hmm… This one would suit a black-themed set—the kind that looks cold and untouchable, but once you get close, you find out she’s just a loyal black cat that goes limp with happiness if you rub her under the chin.’
Jiang Cheng fantasized fiercely.
Daydreams don’t cost anything, so why not?
She thought maliciously.
‘Hmph, once I conquer you later and trigger your special CG, I’ll make you wear a catgirl outfit, get down on all fours in front of me, and meow!’
