Chapter 89: If You Did It All, It’s Like You Did Nothing

Mr. Bai forgot something.

In Madam Bai’s perspective, Su Qingyu had stayed over last night, and the guest room was arranged by Mr. Bai.

But in reality, it wasn’t.

So, after taking a bath in the Bai Family’s large bathroom, Su Qingyu confidently wrapped herself in a small towel and walked into Bai Xiaoya’s room.

Bai Xiaoya didn’t react for a moment.

“Why did you come here?”

“Because no guest room was arranged for me, I came to your room.”

She said.

Reasonable and logical.

“Uh, maybe they forgot,” Bai Xiaoya got up, about to get out of bed, “I’ll go remind them.”

“No need,” Su Qingyu hurriedly stopped her, “How do you know Uncle and Aunt forgot? Maybe they didn’t forget at all, but did it on purpose.”

“Huh?”

The Blonde Loli said meaningfully,

“Sometimes, not making an arrangement is also a kind of arrangement.”

Not specially arranging a room meant picking one from the existing rooms to sleep in.

Of course she chose Aya’s room.

Bai Xiaoya’s eyelid twitched.

She felt things shouldn’t be like this, but the person was already standing here, and she couldn’t really chase her out.

Besides, if she really went down to “remind” them, maybe her dad would get scolded.

“Alright, let’s just say that’s how it is.”

Bai Xiaoya opened the door for her to come in, and reminded her, “If you’re going to sleep, just sleep. Don’t mess around.”

“Mm, I promise to sleep.”

Su Qingyu mumbled, happily walking into her beloved girl’s room, her steps so light she almost flew.

If there had been wind in the room, she might have actually floated.

Speaking of Aya’s room, anyone who could stand at the doorway for three seconds without charging in must be a god.

The fragrant floral scent, the pink-and-white atmosphere, even the air felt soft and sweet, as if one bite could make a person excited.

Su Qingyu secretly took a few bites, then realized it was just an illusion.

There was no air that would make you excited by eating it, unless something was mixed in.

She shook her little head, shaking off those strange thoughts, then focused and saw Bai Xiaoya busy beside the wardrobe.

“Aya, what are you looking for? Want me to help?”

“Looking for a quilt for you.”

Bai Xiaoya didn’t even turn her head.

“What quilt? Your quilt is big enough, more than enough, and having two quilts together is so crowded,”

Su Qingyu took off her towel, climbed into the bed in her cute pajamas, “See, I don’t take up much space.”

Her last words sounded so considerate and sensible.

Bai Xiaoya turned her head and saw this scene, the corner of her mouth twitching.

“We agreed just to sleep…”

“Sleep, it’s just sleeping,”

Su Qingyu blinked innocently.

“How can you sleep without getting under the blanket?”

Do you usually sleep on top of the quilt?

At that moment, the door clicked open, and a black long-haired girl walked in.

“I heard some noise next door and thought something was up.”

Bai Xia looked coldly at the Blonde Loli hiding under the covers.

“How did you get over here?”

Stealing affection, huh.

If you don’t invite her, that’s pure stealing.

“I didn’t, I just thought our previous topic wasn’t finished, so I came over myself,”

Su Qingyu huffed.

“It’s not like I wasn’t going to call you. I was planning to in a bit.”

As for whether she would really call Bai Xia over, don’t ask—if you ask, it’s a superposition state—

If Bai Xia didn’t come to Bai Xiaoya’s room, she wouldn’t know Su Qingyu was here, but if she came and saw Su Qingyu sneaking in, she’d say she was going to call her.

That’s just how logic works. If you can’t prove it wrong, you can’t call her a liar.

So Bai Xia thought for a moment and decided to show her attitude through action—

She took off her pajamas and climbed into the other side of the bed.

Bai Xiaoya’s vision went dark.

“No, what are you doing now?”

Bai Xia didn’t say anything, just gestured toward Su Qingyu, as if to say, if she can get in, why can’t I?

“It’s not that I don’t want you in, and it’s not about special treatment, but can’t you at least be normal in direction, like her—left and right, not head and foot.”

Bai Xiaoya’s eyelid twitched wildly.

“Sleeping at the end of the bed like you’re ready to pounce—what are you planning?”

Bai Xia was silent for a while, then moved from the foot of the bed to the head, lying face-to-face with Su Qingyu, a person-sized space between them, as if separated by a river on a chessboard.

Bai Xiaoya sighed and silently crawled to the middle.

What else could she do?

It was her bed.

She couldn’t let others chase her out.

“Let’s agree first. We said from the start—just sleeping. If you break your word, may lightning strike.”

Boom!

As soon as Bai Xiaoya finished speaking, a clap of thunder sounded outside the window.

In the summer rainy season, thunder during a storm was normal. It didn’t have to be the wrath of the heavens.

But after that thunderclap, the courtyard outside instantly went pitch black.

The power was out.

Not long after, Madam Bai walked upstairs with a flashlight and knocked on the door.

“Xiao Ya, are you asleep? Do you need help?”

There was a backup generator, but at night, its chug-chug-chug sound was noisy, so unless necessary, it was better not to use it.

“Ah?”

Bai Xiaoya purposely made a lazy sound.

“I’m already asleep~”

“Oh, then keep sleeping. I won’t disturb you.”

Madam Bai walked to the next room, hesitated, then thought Bai Xia might be asleep too, and turned away.

Yes, the three girls had played outside during the day and were tired, so they slept early.

She should go to bed, too.

A few minutes later, after all the sounds outside disappeared, the three girls in the bed finally relaxed.

“Alright, my mom is gone,”

Bai Xiaoya reminded them.

“You can relax now.”

“Mm.”

“Okay.”

They agreed, but—

“Don’t just say it. What about your hands?”

Could you move them off me?

“Aiya, Aya, don’t be so stingy. The power’s out, there’s thunder outside, the atmosphere is scary,”

Su Qingyu blinked, whining.

“Hugging together feels safer.”

Bai Xia hesitated for a few seconds, then made an “mm” sound, showing her agreement.

At first, it was Su Qingyu who made a move.

Bai Xia hesitated because they had a prior agreement: if the mission wasn’t triggered, they shouldn’t make a move.

But thinking further, the agreement was meant to prevent one side from acting alone and to keep things fair. If both people were present, and with double negatives, the spirit of fairness wasn’t broken, so by the letter of the agreement, it wasn’t a violation.

In Su Qingyu’s words—don’t say I didn’t call you.

Or, as she’d say—Bai Xia did it too!

There were two White Rabbits, one for each—if both did it, then neither did; if both hugged, then neither hugged.

Only Bai Xiaoya had complaints.

“I think we should be more proper and focus our energy on serious matters.”
