Chapter 73: Differential treatment

。

“Sis, I’ve brought it over for you, and I even blew on it to cool it down a bit~~”

Guīyuè smiled as she carefully carried a bowl of dumplings over to me.

I looked at Guīyuè and then pointed toward Bai Chuan Yao sitting to the side, reminding her not to forget Bai Chuan Yao.

Guīyuè followed my finger and glanced over, as if she just remembered.

“As for your dumplings, they’re still in the pot. Serve yourself as many as you want.”

Such a huge difference in attitude!

For some reason, ever since Guīyuè came in, the atmosphere started to feel strange and eerie.

Seeing how Guīyuè treated Bai Chuan Yao, I quickly tried to smooth things over.

“Why don’t you sit down, and I’ll serve you some?”

“N-no need! I-I-I… I can serve myself!”

With that, Bai Chuan Yao hurried over to the pot and scooped several dumplings into her bowl, even deliberately showing off in front of me.

“See? I can serve myself!”

Hmm, what’s with this girl?

Before I could make sense of it, Guīyuè spoke again, picking up a dumpling and bringing it close to my mouth.

“Sis, don’t worry about it. Just eat first. Open wide.”

Seeing my little sister offering the dumpling, I hesitated for a moment but shook my head.

“I don’t want to. Bai Chuan Yao is still here. If she sees me, she’ll definitely laugh at me.”

“She won’t. Just open your mouth.”

When I still refused, Guīyuè turned to look at Bai Chuan Yao, who was holding a bowl and nibbling on dumplings behind her.

“You won’t laugh at sis, right~?”

Faced with Guīyuè’s question, Bai Chuan Yao’s body trembled violently. She couldn’t even swallow what was in her mouth before hurriedly answering,

“I definitely won’t laugh!”

I was surprised by her response. I had planned to use her as an excuse to avoid Guīyuè’s feeding.

After swallowing, Bai Chuan Yao quickly added,

“I won’t sit at the table to eat, you two play however you want!”

I didn’t quite understand that—what does “play however you want” mean?

But before I could ask, Guīyuè brought the dumpling back to my mouth.

“She said she won’t laugh. That should be enough, right? Come on, open up, sis~ ah~”

At this point, I clearly couldn’t refuse and reluctantly ate the dumpling she fed me.

“Nom…”

“Hehe, that’s more like it.”

Watching me eat the dumpling she fed me, Guīyuè’s face lit up with a joyful smile.

“By the way, aren’t you eating? Don’t just feed me.” I asked.

“Don’t worry about me, sis. I already ate before I came here. Now I just need to make sure you’re full. Come on, open wide again~”

Guīyuè smiled as she answered and picked up another dumpling, slowly bringing it to my mouth.

Tsk, it looks like she prepared well just to feed me.

But after becoming a girl, my appetite wasn’t very big, and I quickly felt full.

Seeing this, Guīyuè didn’t push anymore but held her chopsticks, still looking like she wanted more.

“Sis, not eating anymore? You’re full already?”

Seeing me wave her off, Guīyuè gave up and put down her chopsticks, then turned to look at Bai Chuan Yao behind her, switching to a completely different attitude.

“Hey, you should be about done eating too, right?”

“I was going to eat more… uh! I-I’m full now. Just remembered I have something to do. I just moved in, and my stuff isn’t sorted yet, so I’m heading back first!”

With that, Bai Chuan Yao hurriedly left in a rush.

Tsk, the more I look at her, the weirder she seems.

Now the room was left with just Guīyuè and me.

After the door closed behind Bai Chuan Yao, Guīyuè tossed out another question.

“Hey? Sis, why do you smell like several different scents that make me feel really uncomfortable? I was going to ask earlier.”

Guīyuè’s tone was unusually calm, but somehow it made my body shiver.

Her question reminded me, and I answered honestly.

“I got back too late last night and forgot to shower.”

Guīyuè shook her head and added,

“I’m not talking about the smell of sweat, sis. It’s the scent that other girls have.”

Her tone remained calm, but for some reason, it gave me a strange feeling.

It must be an illusion—after all, she’s my own sister. She wouldn’t do anything to me.

So I didn’t think too much and told her straightforwardly, “Well, you know, my school’s full of girls, so having their scent on me is pretty normal, isn’t it?”

“……PS?”

Guīyuè paused briefly, her expression a mix of shock and questioning.

As for how I got the scent of girls on me, I decided it was better not to tell Guīyuè.

After all, if she found out that her once mighty, invincible, and handsome big brother was turned into a little girl and went through those kinds of things…

I’m afraid I’d just want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

“Since you didn’t shower last night and it’s so hot now, why don’t you take a shower now? Being sticky all over isn’t comfortable, and it’s the perfect chance… to wash off that disgusting smell.”

Disgusting smell?

Disgusting?

I sniffed myself. The mixed scents of other girls actually smelled quite nice to me.

I felt fine.

But my body did feel sluggish and honestly a bit uncomfortable.

“Alright then, I’ll go take a shower. I’ll leave the dishes to you~”

“Mm.”

Guīyuè nodded without saying much, then silently started cleaning up the dishes, still calm as ever.

But honestly, I didn’t know why, I kept feeling that something was off.

Before rebirth, even when Guīyuè treated me with indifference and disdain, I didn’t feel such a strong sense of dissonance.

But now after rebirth, every time she reacts so calmly, I feel a subtle unease.

But thinking carefully, isn’t this a normal reaction? Compared to before rebirth, when she disliked and despised me, now she willingly takes care of me and keeps her emotions steady and calm. Isn’t that much better?

Thinking that way, I figured I was just being paranoid.

Ah, damn that cosmic jerk. Twice in a row tricking me into a bad situation, now I’m even starting to suspect my own sister.

Alright, enough of these pointless thoughts. I better go boil water and wash up quickly. I’m all sticky right now.

While waiting for the shower water to heat up, I found a topic to chat with Guīyuè.

“By the way, Guīyuè, what major did you choose after rebirth? Still accounting?”

“No, when I came to this world line, I had already changed my major.”

“Then what’s your major now?”

“Biomedical Science. And for some reason, the content they’re teaching… I haven’t actually studied it before, yet I understand everything.”

“Eh?! R-really?”
