In the morning, the first ray of sunlight streamed into the hotel room.
Having woken up early, I stood in front of the mirror, tidying my appearance.
“OK~ Hairpin’s on. Phew, as expected of the dashing Gui Ye! Even as a loli, I’m the cutest in the world!”
After completing the final step, I spun around in front of the mirror, my light skirt twirling with me.
Looking at my reflection, I flashed a satisfied smile.
“Phew, I’m just too adorable!”
Even though I’d spent the night “competing” with Qian Yin in bed, after a good sleep, I was back to my usual energetic self.
Say what you will, but while this system loves to screw me over, the special physique it gave me is pretty nice.
Just then, I noticed faint movement from the bed, and my gaze shifted toward it.
Qian Yin was awake, sitting up on the bed.
Noticing me primping in front of the mirror, she teased with a grin.
“Yo, adapting so quickly? Already dolling yourself up, huh?”
Facing her teasing, I put my hands on my hips, puffed out my chest, and retorted.
“Hmph, as a guy, I, Gui Ye, was the handsomest in the world. Now, even as a loli, I’m the cutest in the world!”
Qian Yin nodded, smiling as she walked over to me.
Just as I was wondering what she was up to, she leaned close to my ear and whispered softly.
“Not just the cutest in the world, but the hottest too, right, hubby~?”
Her words instantly set off my embarrassment, and through the mirror, I could see my pale face turning visibly red bit by bit.
Especially that “hubby” part—it brought back some not-so-great memories from last night.
“D-Don’t just start talking dirty like that, you jerk!”
“Hehe, I said the same thing before my rebirth, didn’t I? But you?”
Her words jogged my memory.
Sure, before my rebirth, I didn’t do anything too outrageous to their bodies, but I definitely didn’t hold back on the dirty talk.
“T-That’s not my fault! It’s because you all looked so cute when you got shy from my teasing, so I couldn’t help myself. You can’t blame me!”
My face still flushed, I hurriedly defended myself.
“Exactly! It’s the same for me now. Little Gui Ye’s reaction to dirty talk is so adorable, I can’t help myself either. And guess what? I learned it from you~”
Qian Yin squinted at me with a smile, her delicate hand gently brushing my cheek.
“Ugh…”
For a moment, I was at a loss for words to counter her, standing there dumbfounded.
Who would’ve thought I’d end up being teased to a blushing mess by a girl I used to tease myself?
Thinking about it, I felt a pang of melancholy.
Ugh, why did it turn out like this…
Hmph, damn Qian Yin!
Tricking me into bed twice was bad enough, and now she’s teasing me!
Just wait until I turn back—I’ll get my revenge!
For now, though…
Let’s eat first…
After last night’s “exercise,” I was starving.
Just then, Qian Yin asked, “Mo Yu said she’s treating us to breakfast. Wanna go together?”
“Go! Why wouldn’t I?” I agreed without hesitation.
Thinking about how Mo Yu and Qian Yin teamed up to trick me into bed twice made me furious.
Now that I had a chance to mooch off her, I was going to eat my fill!
…
Soon, after freshening up, Qian Yin and I arrived at the agreed-upon spot.
Mo Yu and the girl from yesterday were already seated.
Seeing us approach, Mo Yu waved and said, “We haven’t ordered yet. What do you guys want? Let’s order together.”
Hearing this, still fuming, I rushed over, grabbed the menu, and started ordering.
I’ll order this, and that, and that too! I’m gonna make you bleed!
After ordering, I slammed the menu down in front of Mo Yu.
Seeing my aggressive demeanor, Mo Yu glanced curiously at what I’d ordered, then burst out laughing.
“Pfft! I thought you’d go hard! Just this? A bowl of millet porridge and two char siu buns? Seven yuan total?”
Faced with her mocking laughter, I stomped my foot in frustration.
“Tch! Mind your own business!”
Really, she doesn’t get it and still mocks me.
It’s not my fault!
After turning into a girl, my appetite shrank so much.
Honestly, I’m not even sure I can finish what I ordered.
Sure, I could’ve ordered a ton to make Mo Yu pay, but I get full so easily now—it’d be such a waste.
So, after hesitating, I just ordered that.
No laughing!
Seven yuan is still money, and it’s plenty!
“Qian Yin, what do you want? Come order with me. I can’t carry breakfast for four people alone,” Mo Yu said to Qian Yin behind me, and Qian Yin followed her to the counter.
That left just me and the girl Mo Yu brought.
The table had four seats, arranged two-by-two facing each other.
After some thought, to avoid sitting next to Qian Yin or Mo Yu, I chose to sit beside the girl.
On closer inspection, she was pretty cute, especially with that shy expression and the way she played with her braid when she met my gaze—super adorable.
But thinking about how she was one of Qian Yin’s accomplices last night, I couldn’t bring myself to like her.
Pouting angrily, I stared at her face and asked, “You’re pretty cute, so why’d you help a big jerk like Qian Yin?”
“Um… I…”
Caught off guard by my interrogation, the girl flinched like a startled bunny.
After stammering for a while, she finally got her words out.
“It’s just… Big Sis suddenly told me to… to act really close with her in front of you.”
“Big Sis? You mean you’re Mo Yu’s sister?” I narrowed my eyes, catching the detail.
“Yes, I’m her younger sister, Mo Tao. And… I didn’t know what Big Sis was planning. In the end… last night, I only asked for milk tea because Big Sis had Qian Yin buy coffee…”
Mo Tao explained the situation haltingly.
Seeing her nervous demeanor, and knowing it sounded like something Mo Yu would do, I believed her.
“Alright, I believe you. Don’t be so nervous,” I said.
“Ugh, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to…” The girl lowered her head, glancing up at me with pitiful eyes.
Her pitiful look instantly triggered my protective instincts, and I even felt a twinge of guilt for questioning her so harshly.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I was too aggressive earlier. I didn’t scare you, did I?”
“No…” She shook her head, but somehow, I felt like I was bullying her.
“Good, good.”
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.
If Mo Yu found out I made her adorable sister cry, the consequences would be unthinkable.
But, wow, who would’ve thought that jerk Mo Yu would have such a cute sister?
Heh heh heh~
Just wondering, Mo Yu, old hag, is it safe to park my scooter downstairs at your place?
