“Cousin?!”
In the living room, Tang Yayun looked at the restless girl sitting opposite her with a mixture of surprise and disbelief.
After a moment, a joyful expression appeared in her eyes.
She had actually always known about her little aunt’s existence, but had never truly met the mysterious young aunt.
For a while, she couldn’t understand why the little cousin her family mentioned was actually a cousin sister, but that didn’t matter.
What mattered was she now had a sister!
Although not the little sister she had hoped for, having an older sister was great too! Plus, she had heard that the little aunt and her family were going to live in their old home permanently!
Did this mean she could come to visit her cousin sister whenever she was on vacation?
Thinking this, Tang Yayun glanced at Tang Chengmin, only to see her brother stylishly wink at her, which made her show a somewhat disdainful expression.
Then, full of expectation, she looked at Lin Xinyuan, her face instantly flushed.
Forget about Odo—soft and fragrant cousin sisters are the best~
Cousin sister… really so beautiful!
Hmm~ and shy too, so cute~
Lin Xinyuan naturally had no idea about Tang Yayun’s mental whirlwind, nor did she have the leisure to care.
At this moment, the little cousin’s gaze made her scalp tingle.
The girl’s eyes were too intense, looking at her like a wolf eyeing a piece of lamb, overly enthusiastic.
Little cousin………
Could she be a lesbian?
Lin Xinyuan thought haphazardly, feeling that Tang Yayun’s stare was even harder to endure than their grandfather’s…
Luckily, this scene didn’t last long.
Soon it was dinner time, and not long after finishing, Lin Xinyuan returned to her room.
She had always been like this—uncomfortable with overly eager stares, especially from people she didn’t know well.
She had thought she would be fine once back in her room, but the reality proved otherwise.
Not long after finishing her shower, Tang Yayun came looking for her, declaring that tonight they would share a bed and pillow.
Lin Xinyuan immediately expressed strong resistance.
It wasn’t that she disliked Tang Yayun; she was simply not used to sleeping with others—it made her feel very uneasy.
With boys it was like this, even more so with girls…
Except for having once shared a bed with her mother, no one else was allowed. Even same-sex wasn’t acceptable…
Fortunately, Tang Yayun seemed to be joking; seeing her resistance, she just smiled and didn’t press the issue.
Tang Yayun sat at the edge of Lin Xinyuan’s bed, her fair little feet swinging, excitedly chatting with the young girl.
She initiated conversation, trying to get closer to Lin Xinyuan, very different from the disdain she showed when with Tang Chengmin.
Lin Xinyuan had no choice but to put down her phone and chat with her cousin.
Although she didn’t like to interact much with unfamiliar people, she could see Tang Yayun genuinely wanted to build a relationship and was very friendly.
When Tang Yayun learned Lin Xinyuan was attending Zhan No. 1 High School, she felt an immediate kinship.
“Cousin, you’re actually my senior too!”
“You don’t know…”
Tang Yayun began to vent her frustrations, and through her words, Lin Xinyuan learned about the school’s situation.
Apparently, they had a strict no-phone policy on campus…
Speaking of which, although Lin Xinyuan didn’t have a phone ban in her high school, she rarely used one, mostly just for typing out her work.
Lin Xinyuan listened quietly to Tang Yayun’s stories, occasionally chiming in.
Tang Yayun also found out that Lin Xinyuan was a student at Tianbei University, and a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes.
Her grades were decent, but she still had a long way to go to get into such a prestigious university.
Lin Xinyuan offered a dry word of encouragement.
“Still more than two years left, keep it up…”
“Back then, I, uh…”
She suddenly faltered, recalling how in her first year of high school her grades had been top of the year.
Seems like she wasn’t really the right person to say these things…
After a moment’s thought, she changed the subject: “Anyway, keep a calm mindset. Play when you should play, study when you should study, your grades won’t be bad…”
“Mm-hmm!”
Tang Yayun nodded vigorously.
In her mind, words from a scholar cousin like Lin Xinyuan must be right.
And she wasn’t particularly obsessed with getting into a prestigious university herself.
More than that, Tang Yayun was actually more curious about how Lin Xinyuan took care of her skin and hair.
Looking at the girl’s smooth black hair and cold white complexion, just the shine alone suggested her skin must feel very nice to the touch.
Teenage girls especially cared about beauty, and Tang Yayun was no exception.
“Cousin, how do you take care of your skin and hair?”
Tang Yayun tucked a messy, split strand of hair behind her ear and touched the back of her hand.
Though still fairly soft, she could feel some flaws.
Her curiosity about Lin Xinyuan grew even stronger, her big eyes brimming with a thirst for knowledge.
The girl’s appearance was outstanding, with clear eyes—too overwhelming for ordinary boys.
If this were the old Lin Xinyuan, Lin Xinyuan Xin Yuan, she probably wouldn’t be able to resist.
But now she was Lin Xinyuan…
She felt nothing at all…
Hearing her cousin’s question, Lin Xinyuan felt embarrassed, as if caught off guard.
She had only recently started this new life, and certainly didn’t know much about the tricks of skincare.
She didn’t even know what to say, let alone share any tips.
She couldn’t exactly claim she was naturally beautiful—that would be shameless…
In the end, Lin Xinyuan barely fumbled out some vague advice: eating meals on time, exercising, and so on.
Fortunately, Tang Yayun believed her, or else she’d have to talk more.
They chatted for a while longer until Tang Yayun finally noticed Lin Xinyuan’s sleepy expression and stopped.
It was only a little past ten, but Lin Xinyuan was already tired.
Usually, she would sleep around eleven.
Tang Yayun had recently heard from their grandfather that Lin Xinyuan’s health wasn’t very good, so it was best not to disturb her rest too much.
Watching Tang Yayun leave, Lin Xinyuan finally relaxed, her brows furrowing slightly.
She clearly still felt her cousin was a bit too enthusiastic.
Her own nature preferred quiet surroundings.
But she was rather envious of this cousin.
Such a good personality, and beautiful too—she would surely have many admirers.
As for her…
She was certainly not unattractive now, but with her own personality, to be honest, she didn’t even like herself.
Not gentle enough, not very smart, moody and weak socially, inexplicably prone to self-conflict and sulking…
With a character like that, not many people could tolerate her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had only a handful of close friends throughout her life.
If she hadn’t changed into a girl, she probably wouldn’t have even met Li Tang, and would have remained invisible…
She turned off the lights, leaving only the bedside lamp on, a habit she had developed.
When alone, she always needed some light to fall asleep; otherwise, she felt like people were around her, coldly watching her.
It was very unpleasant…
The warm yellow light stood out in the darkness, softly illuminating the girl’s delicate, picturesque face, bringing her a touch of security.
Her eyelashes fluttered, eyes half-open, but she couldn’t resist the wave of drowsiness and soon drifted into a hazy sleep…
Stinky guy…
When will he come to find her…
Come quickly…
