Chapter 214: Isn’t That Too Cowardly?!

As someone who had been through it all before, Xia Mo’s guesses were rarely wrong.

These two younger girls were truly being so sappy and clingy while simultaneously doing absolutely nothing.

They had held hands, bought each other a few small accessories, and then they separated.

Separated!

Good grief!

“That’s it? Not even a kiss?” Luo Shuangyue hissed through her teeth. Was her own little sister really this lame?

Xia Mo was also somewhat surprised.

She had assumed the two girls would at least test the waters a bit, yet they hadn’t done a single thing.

“Perhaps they need a little time to adjust?” Xia Mo speculated.

But what happened next left even Xia Mo speechless.

The newly official little couple went out to play together for two days straight, yet still, nothing happened. They were clearly holding hands the whole time, so what gives? Why couldn’t they take a single step further!

Finally, Shuangyue could no longer contain herself.

During dinner, she proactively brought up the topic, asking her sister what exactly was going on.

“Since you two have confirmed your relationship, have you done any of the things couples are supposed to do?” Shuangyue asked her sister.

“Uh…” Luo Shuangxing’s movements stiffened.

She wasn’t surprised that the progress of her relationship with Yi had been noticed; after all, her state of mind over the past few days had indeed been a little different.

Every day she left the house with a happy smile, wearing beautiful, youthful clothes.

If Shuangyue couldn’t tell her sister was in love, she might as well stop being an older sister.

However, the question Shuangyue asked made her feel a bit flustered and annoyed.

‘What does she mean by “things couples are supposed to do”… it couldn’t be… that kind of thing, right?’

“Looking at you, I guess not. Not even a kiss?” Shuangyue continued to press.

“No! Why are you even asking that!” The flustered Shuangxing lightly drummed her fists on the table, turning to Xia Mo to complain. “Sister Mo, look at her! Why is she only interested in stuff like this!”

“Is my sister’s business not important enough? Shuangxing, you underestimate yourself too much. You carry a lot of weight in my heart, you know.” Shuangyue spoke with righteous indignation, acting as if she were performing a serious duty.

Was there anything wrong with an older sister caring about her younger sister’s romantic life? They were biological sisters from the same parents; her business was Shuangyue’s business!

Xia Mo nodded in agreement from the side. This time, she stood with Shuangyue. She also viewed Shuangxing as a younger sister, and now that the girl’s relationship was hitting a small snag, it was only natural for an older sister to offer some guidance.

“Is it because you’re shy? Or something else?” Shuangyue continued to pry.

She didn’t believe Shuangxing was ignorant of what couples did.

Children these days knew a lot, and Shuangxing was clearly not some fledgling who knew nothing of the world.

At the very least, she surely knew it was normal for an ordinary young couple to share a kiss.

Then why hadn’t she kissed Yi?

“It’s just… I’m a little scared.” Under the joint gaze of her two older sisters, Shuangxing slowly lowered her head and began to fidget with her fingers.

She actually wanted to try it, but every time she had the thought, her gaze would land on Yi’s lips. The moment her eyes met Yi’s as she turned to look back, that tiny bit of courage would instantly vanish.

Ultimately, it was a problem of being too cowardly.

After hearing her sister’s explanation, Shuangyue was truly exasperated.

This sister of hers failed to learn the good traits but picked up all the bad ones, even taking them to the extreme.

Even Shuangyue hadn’t been this cowardly back in the day!

“Yi mustered the courage to take you out and confess her feelings. Can’t you toughen up a bit and show her your determination?” Shuangyue reached out, patted her sister’s shoulder, and spoke in a deep, earnest tone.

“It’s not enough to just passively accept things. You are both girls. You can’t just expect to lie back; you need to take the initiative to hold onto her too.”

Speaking of this, Shuangyue truly had the right to speak.

While it was true that Xia Mo had been the proactive one between them, Shuangyue hadn’t remained entirely passive afterward.

She occasionally took the initiative to close the distance between herself and Xia Mo.

Mutual attraction was the only healthy state; a one-sided gift was never good and wouldn’t last long.

“Are you worried Yi will reject you?”

Shuangxing quickly shook her head. She definitely didn’t feel that way.

Although they hadn’t said many sweet words over the past few days, she had felt Yi’s passion through their interactions.

These feelings weren’t fake; as long as she took the initiative, Yi would certainly not refuse her request.

“Then what are you afraid of! You’re already standing on the podium, and you’re still afraid to take a bite of the gold medal?” Shuangyue had a look of frustrated disappointment.

This sister was just too lame; she might need their mother to step in and increase the intensity of her training.

Shuangxing lowered her head even further.

“Then… I’ll try?” she said in a very, very small voice.

“Don’t be so hesitant! You should shout with confidence: ‘I will definitely do it!'” Shuangyue let out a stirring cry.

“Fine! I will definitely do it!” Shuangxing took a deep breath and shouted at the top of her lungs.

“What are you going to do!”

“I’m going to kiss Yi!”

“Yes! That’s the spirit! You can definitely do it!”

Watching the pair of sisters suddenly fire themselves up for some unknown reason, Xia Mo pressed her hand to her forehead and let out a sigh full of helplessness.

‘Do you two even hear yourselves? Is this what pure and kind Magical Girls should be doing?’

To burn with fighting spirit over something like this was simply… sigh.

“Don’t sigh. Think of it this way: our sister is overcoming the weakness in her heart and taking a giant step toward true strength!” Shuangyue glanced at Xia Mo, clearly dissatisfied with her reaction.

She wasn’t doing anything bad; she was guiding her weak-hearted sister to become strong and brave. Could there be anything wrong with that?

This twist of logic left Xia Mo even more speechless. She didn’t bother arguing further and simply reached out to give Shuangyue’s cheek a hard pinch.

“Be serious!”

“Ow.”

After lecturing Shuangyue, Xia Mo looked at Shuangxing, whose blood was still boiling with excitement.

She thought about saying something, but then felt it didn’t really matter.

It wasn’t a bad thing for Shuangxing and Yi to reach a successful conclusion.

There was a first time for everything; once that first step was taken, the two veterans wouldn’t need to worry about the rest.

Honestly, with such a winning hand dealt to her, if Shuangxing still managed to mess it up, she couldn’t blame Shuangyue for mocking her.

Yi only liked her, they were both Magical Girls, and they shared a mutual affection. If you rounded it up, they were basically childhood friends!

How could she lose?

“Shuangxing, good luck. I believe you can do it.” Xia Mo thought for a moment, then asked a bit uneasily, “Should I send you some tips on how couples should interact?”

“Uh… is it the proper kind?”

“I think what you need right now might not be the ‘proper’ kind.” Xia Mo gave a light cough. Of course it wasn’t.
