“Little Tang, I’m hungry~”
Lying in bed, Jiang Cheng let out a howl like a starving beast.
“Big Sis, dinner will be ready soon~”
The girl’s voice, accompanied by the sound of the range hood, came faintly from the kitchen.
Jiang Cheng lay there with a clear conscience, completely unaware that she’d been spoiled into a useless lump by her little sister.
The students at Aidelisa College would probably never imagine that this little angel, famous for being gentle and never getting angry, was actually a lazy piglet raised by a severely siscon.
Of course, Jiang Cheng still didn’t know that the morning’s events had already spread through the school. Her stunning beauty had won her a bunch of older-sister fans, and some busybody had even put her at the top of the Aidelisa Must-Eat List.
After all, Jiang Cheng had never actively built a social network at school. She hadn’t even exchanged contact info with the people she met this morning, so naturally no one came to tell her about any of this.
Maybe those classmates would take Jiang Cheng’s slacking off as a sign of a placid personality, that she didn’t care about her reputation or whatever.
—She’s perfect, really. If only she weren’t Lin Shuangxue’s girlfriend.
That was the thought of many students as well.
Ding-dong—
“Big Sis, someone’s ringing the doorbell. Little Tang can’t free up her hands right now. Can you go check?”
“Sure~”
“Be careful, Big Sis,” the girl in the kitchen called out loudly, turning around as she stood on a stool to stir-fry. “What if it’s a bad guy coming to catch you… You have to look through the peephole first, make sure it’s not someone bad…”
“Okay, okay, I know…”
Jiang Cheng’s tone was resigned.
At this rate, she couldn’t even claim to be the older sister anymore… Even if she said she was the daughter and Little Tang was the mother, people might believe it.
Seriously, why didn’t her memories have Little Tang being this motherly… Was it because their parents were still alive back then?
Thinking randomly, Jiang Cheng walked to the door.
“Hey, who is it?”
she said loudly, standing on tiptoe to peer through the fisheye lens.
Outside the door stood a slender girl in a conservative maid outfit. She stood properly before the door, a polite smile on her face.
“It’s you?”
Jiang Cheng was momentarily stunned.
Wasn’t that Lin Shuangxue’s personal maid? What was she doing here?
“Miss Jiang Cheng, may I come in?”
An Xin bowed slightly, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
Through the fisheye, Jiang Cheng could see a small, inconspicuous tear mole beside her slightly narrowed eyes.
Jiang Cheng sucked in a sharp breath.
She had thought Lin Shuangxue was already strong enough, but it turned out her personal maid was also a succubus.
The girl hesitated.
She couldn’t tell whether An Xin’s movements were natural or deliberate.
If it was deliberate, or even worse, muscle memory…
Then her game level was way too high, wasn’t it?
Rich families… so scary…
Jiang Cheng pushed the door open and cleared her throat.
“Miss An Xin, why have you suddenly come looking for us? Is there something?”
The maid smiled without directly answering.
“Miss Jiang Cheng, won’t you invite me in to sit?”
The girl moved aside, and An Xin walked past her, her steps light and even, as if she had measured them in advance.
She stood in the center of the living room and looked around, finally settling her gaze on the kitchen doorway, where a little girl in an oversized apron gripped a spatula.
“Little Xiaotang, good evening~”
Jiang Xiaotang’s face was full of shock.
She glanced at the maid, then at Jiang Cheng.
Big Sis had brought a woman home, and not that Sister Lin from last time, but Sister Lin’s maid!
Oh my god, what a messy, what a… delicious plot!
The heiress of a wealthy family fell in love with a commoner girl. She lowered her status to pursue that girl, but didn’t realize her most loyal maid had betrayed her and was secretly dating that girl!
It’s a love triangle, the best kind!
But then, Jiang Xiaotang grew worried.
Big Sis, Big Sis, Little Tang understands your fickle heart. After all, such a perfect girl should belong to everyone…
But have you ever thought, Big Sis, that you need to take it step by step…
“Ahem, ahem.”
The girl put on a mature cough, set down the spatula, trotted over to Jiang Cheng, and tugged at her sister’s sleeve.
“Hm? What’s wrong, Little Tang?”
Jiang Xiaotang didn’t speak.
She just gave a “follow me” look.
Jiang Cheng was puzzled, but still let her sister pull her by the sleeve into the kitchen.
The girl stood on tiptoe, trying to get close to her sister’s ear.
Jiang Cheng cooperatively bent down, and heard Little Tang lower her voice, speaking in the tone of “I’m telling you a huge secret.”
“Big Sis, don’t ever let Sister Lin Shuangxue find out that you’re juggling multiple boats.”
“…Huh?”
“Otherwise—”
Jiang Xiaotang’s expression was grave, like a brave warrior about to fight a dragon.
“Otherwise, you’ll definitely be locked in a dark room and played with until you break by an angry Lin Shuangxue!”
Jiang Cheng was a little speechless.
She tapped the girl’s head lightly.
“…Where did you learn all this nonsense?”
“Ouch…”
Jiang Xiaotang covered her head and lowered it, her mouth pouting—she was clearly doing this for her sister’s good, and her sister went and knocked her head like that.
What a mean sister…
“Little Tang read it in a novel…”
“What novel?”
“Just… that kind…”
The girl’s eyes began to wander.
“Novels about girls falling in love…”
Jiang Cheng paused.
Oh, romance novels.
She didn’t really care.
Girls, wasn’t it normal to like romance novels? In her previous life, all those web novel sites had every kind of domineering CEO story in the women’s section.
It was said that every year, thousands of girls who were jealous and accomplished nothing would get drunk, climb into a domineering CEO’s bed, inexplicably get pregnant, and then be pursued by said CEO…
No, this wasn’t the time to think about that.
She raised her hand and tapped Jiang Xiaotang’s head again.
“Mmph!”
The girl covered her forehead and looked up with a pitiful expression.
“What are you doing, Big Sis…”
“If you talk nonsense like that again, I’ll take away your phone.”
Jiang Cheng said crossly.
Jiang Xiaotang: QAQ
The girl shrank her neck, muttered “Big Sis is so mean,” and obediently stepped aside, though her eyes still wandered between An Xin and her sister.
Jiang Cheng couldn’t be bothered with her.
She turned and walked back to the living room.
An Xin was still standing in the same spot, a faint smile on her lips, as if she hadn’t seen anything.
“Your little sister is very cute,”
she spoke.
“Little Tang has always been this cute.”
Jiang Cheng plopped down onto the sofa, her tone light.
“Sometimes when I see her like that, I want to play dress-up with her… you know, put all kinds of little skirts on her.”
Well… I actually want to wear them too…
An Xin’s brows curved, smiling without a word.
Jiang Cheng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.
She cleared her throat and got serious.
“So, Miss An Xin, why are you here today?”
An Xin didn’t answer right away.
She walked over to the sofa, sat down across from Jiang Cheng, folded her hands on her knees, and posed gracefully.
“Miss Jiang Cheng,”
she tilted her head slightly,
“do you want to have an endless supply of little skirts?”
Jiang Cheng blinked.
“…Of course I do.”
She was being honest.
Since coming to this world, she hadn’t really enjoyed dressing herself up nicely. Her wardrobe only had a few outfits on rotation. She’d be embarrassed to say she’d turned into a girl when she went out.
The corner of An Xin’s mouth curled.
“In that case—”
The maid’s voice was unhurried.
“Miss Jiang Cheng, and little Xiaotang, why not move into the Lin residence?”
“…Huh?”
Jiang Cheng’s brain short-circuited for a second.
“The Lin residence has many empty rooms, and also an endless supply of clothes and skirts.”
An Xin’s tone was casual, as if discussing the nice weather.
“Little Xiaotang can go to and from school with Luo Ying, and I’ll be in charge of picking them up. As for Miss Jiang Cheng…”
She paused, slightly raising her lashes.
Her eyes reflected the living room light, shimmering, but somehow reminded one of a cat’s eyes in the dark.
“My young miss really wants to sleep with you…”
