In the Xu family’s entryway, Xu Runmin waited and waited, but her older sister Xu Runhui was still late coming home.
That made her so restless she could not help biting her nails.
Zhong Siji and Zhong Xinya were very likely brother and sister.
The rare surname Zhong, the same incident, matching times.
If she had not seen what that boy looked like, she would not even have needed her sister’s information to hammer the possibility that the two of them were siblings at one hundred percent.
But she just had to have seen him, and that was what kept her from being certain.
He and Zhong Xinya did not have a single similar point in their looks!
Could the difference between a brother and sister really be that big?
Impossible, right?
Even with however much genetic mutation, there would always be some points of resemblance.
Just like how she herself looked handsome and sharp, while her older sister looked honest and secretly horny, most people could still tell at a glance that the two of them were sisters.
It was extremely unscientific, but that was probably the power of blood ties.
But then again, as long as she knew whether what her sister ate at noon was that boy’s bento or his little sister’s, she could confirm it at one hundred percent.
As for why she cared so much about this point?
Please!
Who wouldn’t want to watch their older sister, who looked honest and simple but was actually secretly horny beyond belief, go after that beautiful and distinctive older brother of her own good friend?
Especially when that good friend was an ashes-level brocon!
How much fun would that be?
Just thinking about it was enough to get her high!
Xu Runmin was so absorbed in fantasizing about that chaotic scene that she did not notice the door in front of her being quietly opened.
By the time she noticed, there was only an empty, unoccupied door that had been opened from outside.
“Crap! Yo! Long time no—”
Faster than she could turn her head was Xu Runhui’s hand hiding behind her!
Before Xu Runmin could spit out the last word, Xu Runhui’s left hand flashed out a strike fast as lightning and covered her mouth!
“Since I know you were going to recite it, how could I possibly just let you recite it like that?”
That said, the moment she succeeded Xu Runhui released her hold on her little sister.
“Even if you’re going to recite it, at least recite something fresh, okay?”
Xu Runmin looked at Xu Runhui with a bit of disbelief.
Was this confident, high-spirited person in front of her really her older sister?
“Jie, you look completely different from this morning. Don’t tell me…”
Hearing that, Xu Runhui lifted her chin, waiting for her little sister’s rare praise.
She just had not expected her little sister to be even more of a demon than she had imagined.
“Did you do it?”
“…No! How can you think that about your own older sister!” Xu Runhui’s fists fell on Xu Runmin’s head like raindrops.
“Don’t they say a woman becomes more confident after she’s done it?” Xu Runmin was beaten until she ran all over the entryway.
“That kind of thing! Although I really want to do it too! It’s way too early no matter how you put it!” Xu Runhui continued to increase her output.
“Then if you want to do it, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf and hitting me like this!” Xu Runmin could only wrap both arms around her head to minimize the damage to her clever brain as much as possible.
Xu Runhui beat her for a good while before remembering she still had something to ask of her little sister, and hastily stopped the inhumane beating.
“Ahem, Runmin, does it hurt?”
“What do you think?”
“Well, Jie will compensate you. At noon I did what you said, and this Sunday I’m going to classmate Siji’s house to hang out. Do you have any more advice?”
Hearing that, Xu Runmin’s spirits lifted, and she immediately asked in high spirits, “Jie, answer this question for me first. At noon did you get to eat the bento classmate Siji made?”
“Uh, I didn’t. His little sister took the wrong one. Why are you asking that?”
Sure enough!
Sure enough!
The conjecture in her heart had finally been confirmed.
Xu Runmin felt that even the beating she had taken had become refreshing.
“Jie, as they say, the east wind and the west wind can’t beat the pillow wind at home! As long as you butter up his little sister and have his little sister put in a couple of good words for you, won’t you have it in the bag?”
“Is pillow wind used like that?”
“That isn’t important!”
Damn it.
As I thought, I still don’t want to have taken this beating for nothing.
The fun of helping Jie pick up my good friend’s older brother can wait a bit.
Jie, you just enjoy it properly.
The terror of a hardcore brocon.
Xu Runhui of course did not know her own little sister was digging a pit for her.
The moment she thought of how Zhong Siji was a hardcore siscon, she immediately felt her little sister’s words were extremely reasonable, and at once sought worthy counsel.
“Then what should I do?”
Xu Runmin donkey-rolled up off the floor and attached herself to Xu Runhui’s ear.
“First you have to do this, and then…”
***
Yan Yanyan thought it over and over and still felt there was something off about the message Xu Runhui had sent.
What did “I won” mean?
Won at what?
What place could her Xu Runhui possibly have that could beat her Yan Yanyan?
At most that pair of useless huge breasts was a lot bigger than her own, but that side of things did not count as winning at all, did it?
After they separated, had something else happened between her and classmate Siji?
But what could happen in such a short time?
No.
Something had definitely happened.
Otherwise there was no explaining why someone who had been wilted like an eggplant not long ago could send such an arrogant sticker.
In the message bar, that cute puppy holding up the “I won” sign became hateful in Yan Yanyan’s eyes.
Just as she was about to send Zhong Siji a message asking what had happened, a number she ought to have been familiar with, yet now felt extremely unfamiliar, called in.
Yan Yanyan was silent for a moment, and in the end did not pretend she had not seen it.
“Are you busy?” the other party asked.
“No. I just got out of school. I’m just sitting.”
“Mm… how have you been lately?”
“Pretty good. Nothing much.”
“Have you been eating properly?”
“Mm. I’ve been eating my fill on time.”
“I see. That’s good. That’s good…”
The two of them suddenly sank into a silence with nothing to say.
After a good while the other party finally spoke.
“Then remember to rest early. I’ll hang up first.”
“Mm. You too.”
Di-du di-du.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Yan Yanyan collapsed onto the sofa as if she had lost all the strength in her body.
It was not that she did not want to take this call, but every time she took it she would, for some reason, feel a wave of inexplicable exhaustion.
Forget it.
She would go take a shower first.
…
The moment Zhong Siji pushed the door open, he saw his little sister waiting for him in the entryway with a little belly stuck out.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
“Xinya, don’t tell me you ate all of it?”
“Of course I did. This portion of Gege’s is something Xinya can swallow with ease. Mmph…”
“You did it on purpose after all. I won’t ask the reason. I wouldn’t get it out of you anyway. How was the taste? Was it good?”
“The cucumber was a bit too chopped up, the egg pancake was a bit too thin, and as for the ham, it was fried until it was a little burnt.”
“Then you still ate all of it!”
“That can’t be helped. That was all made with Gege’s hard work, you know?”
“I really can’t do anything with you. Next time you’re not allowed to take it away… Forget it. You wouldn’t listen anyway. Starting Monday each person splits half, okay?”
“Okay~~~”
“Oh, right. On Sunday I have friends coming to learn cooking with you. Xinya, do you have time?”
“Ehhhhhh??? Gege’s friends? Coming to the house!?”
