“Order whatever you want to eat, big sister, my treat.”
After saying that, Guiyue handed me the menu and started playing with her phone.
As expected, it’s impossible, right?
If she had strong possessiveness or something, how could she act like this?
This further confirmed my suspicion that the dumb loli’s dad was just fooling me.
Although I think yandere characters in anime are great, the premise is that I’m not the target of their obsession!
Well, no point thinking about these random things.
I should focus on how to prevent my relationship with Guiyue from drifting apart.
I remember in my previous life, our relationship started to grow distant after I moved out for work.
But now, with a second chance, my sister Guiyue is just like she was before I started teaching in my previous life.
Since it was after I moved out that we grew apart, if I keep in constant contact with Guiyue, could I avoid that outcome?
While I was still holding the menu, trying to think deeper, Guiyue’s voice interrupted me.
“What’s big sister thinking about? You’ve been holding the menu for so long and haven’t ordered a single dish.”
“I… I was just thinking about work stuff and got distracted.”
Snapped out of my daze by Guiyue’s voice, I gave an awkward smile and made up an excuse to brush it off.
“Always about work…”
Guiyue muttered a soft complaint and went back to her phone.
But after a while, she looked up at me again.
“Big brother… no, I mean, big sister.”
“What’s up?”
“How’s work going lately? Is it tough just starting out?”
Guiyue’s concern warmed my heart.
Back in my previous life, when I first started my job, she cared about me like this too.
“It’s alright, just a bit of adjusting.”
I answered her concern casually.
To clarify, the “adjusting” isn’t about work—it’s about dealing with those weirdos around me and this ridiculously weak, cutesy body that gets out of breath after three steps.
Truly the standard soft-voiced, delicate, easy-to-push-over type!
With such a frail body, how am I supposed to become the protagonist of a doujinshi?
“Before, Ning Xueyang said if you agreed to be with her, she’d clear your debts. Have you ever considered agreeing to it?”
“Nope… not even a tiny bit.”
Truly, not even a sliver of consideration.
Sure, Ning Xueyang is undeniably a gorgeous girl that everyone loves, with both an amazing figure and looks.
She’s also filthy rich—who wouldn’t want to cling to her thigh?
But… she’s a total pervert!
Just thinking about how she’s been toying with me at least twice a day lately—my body can barely keep up!
Back when I was a guy, I could at least hold my own against her.
But now, agreeing to be with Ning Xueyang would be no different from signing up to be her plush toy, right?
Seeing my firm rejection, Guiyue gave a faint smile and didn’t say anything more.
Soon, we finished lunch.
I remembered I only took half a day off and had to return to school in the afternoon, so I pulled out the keys to my rental apartment from my pocket and handed them to Guiyue.
“Guiyue, you head back first. I have classes at school this afternoon.”
“Huh? Can’t we go back together?”
“Nope, I only took half a day off.”
“Oh, got it…”
Though subtle, I caught the faint disappointment in Guiyue’s tone.
Feeling helpless, I comforted her.
“The afternoon classes will be over soon. I’ll probably be home in about four hours.”
“Alright, then I’ll head home and wait for you, big sister.”
My reassurance seemed to work, as Guiyue gave a faint smile, took the keys from my hand, and ran off.
I stood there, watching her leave, recalling the slight smile she gave before parting.
This should count as getting closer, right?
If I keep closing the distance, maybe I can avoid the outcome of growing apart from my sister like in my previous life.
If that’s the case, being reborn doesn’t seem entirely bad, does it?
After parting with Guiyue, I headed to school.
I quietly opened the office door, and inside were only Qianyin and Yin Yihong.
Damn… why did it have to be these two?
An office with just Yin Yihong and Qianyin?
Can I even stay here?
Of course not, not even a little!
I couldn’t handle one of them, let alone both!
So, I turned to leave, hoping they wouldn’t notice me.
But reality is cruel.
Before I could close the door, Yin Yihong spotted me.
“Isn’t that Teacher Guiye? Why are you only here this afternoon?”
“Hehe, had some stuff to deal with this morning, so I took leave.”
Because of Yin Yihong’s greeting, Qianyin, who had been focused on work, noticed me too.
And this one was even worse.
“Teacher Guiye, you were gone for half a day, and I missed you so much~”
She got up from her computer, ran over, and hugged me tightly.
I was initially confused by Qianyin’s cringey words, but I quickly understood.
Qianyin knows I’ve dated Yin Yihong before, and in my previous life, the two of them often bickered in front of me.
So, Qianyin’s words just now were clearly meant to provoke Yin Yihong.
But Yin Yihong seemed to ignore Qianyin’s provocation.
She calmly took a file from her drawer.
“This is the teacher’s leave record book. Could Teacher Guiye come sign it?”
I remembered this— the school is strict about these things.
Leave, class changes, all that stuff has a corresponding record book.
Without thinking much, I walked over to Yin Yihong’s side and signed.
But when I put down the pen, I noticed Yin Yihong staring at me.
For some reason, even though I’m usually thick-skinned, after becoming a girl, facing Yin Yihong’s direct gaze made my cheeks flush.
“W-What are you staring at?”
“Nothing, just think Teacher Guiye is adorable. Can I give you a hug?”
Right after Yin Yihong said that, I immediately felt Qianyin’s threatening glare from across the room.
Her wide eyes seemed to say: If you dare agree, you’re done!
But you should know, I, Guiye, fear nothing—my only trait is being stubborn.
Threatening me?
Now I’m going to make you mad.
What can you do about it?
“If Teacher Yin Yihong doesn’t mind, I think it’s fine.”
The moment I agreed, Qianyin’s face practically twisted in anger.
But no matter how much she glared, it was useless~
Seeing Qianyin’s furious red face, I felt secretly thrilled and even stuck out my tongue at her.
Qianyin, fuming, turned her head away, refusing to look at us.
Yin Yihong hugged me from behind, not missing the chance to rub it in.
“Teacher Guiye is so small and soft, so comfy to hug~”
Soon, Yin Yihong and I parted.
Thinking back to Qianyin’s angry face, I was still secretly reveling in it.
Tch, that’s what she gets for tricking me into bed before.
Finally got some revenge, hehe~
While I was still basking in my victory, a message came through—it was from Qianyin.
[Qianyin: You little slut, daring to flirt with another woman in front of me? Watch yourself after work this afternoon!]
Tch, another threat.
I told you, I, Guiye, am not afraid of threats!
With that in mind, I flipped Qianyin the middle finger right in front of her and stuck out my tongue again.
