Lin Wei watched as Su Nuannuan returned with a cup of water, clearly noticing something was off about her—she was like a completely different person from before she went out.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Wei took the cup and took a sip, casually asking.
Hearing Lin Wei’s question, Su Nuannuan snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head. “N-nothing, sister, I was just… just thinking about a problem earlier and got a bit distracted…” She lowered her head, unable to meet Lin Wei’s eyes, afraid to tell her what had just happened. She feared that Sister Chen Li would kick her out because of her.
Lin Wei gave her a suspicious glance but didn’t press further.
“Then let’s continue.” She set down the water bottle and picked up her pen again.
Su Nuannuan hurriedly sat up straight, trying to psych herself up: don’t think about it, focus on studying!
The tutoring resumed. Lin Wei explained a question that required drawing lines, and to make it easier, she naturally leaned closer toward Su Nuannuan. Inevitably, their arms brushed against each other.
Su Nuannuan’s body stiffened slightly as she clearly felt the warmth radiating from Lin Wei’s arm. She glanced furtively and saw that Lin Wei didn’t seem to notice at all, fully focused on drawing lines on the paper and explaining her thought process.
Lin Wei inwardly chuckled. Hmm… this angle is just more convenient for explaining the problem… I’m only doing this to teach… absolutely no other meaning… and I’m not even looking at her…
As she continued, Lin Wei, to be more efficient, even rested one hand on Su Nuannuan’s shoulder…
Su Nuannuan felt the weight on her shoulder and turned her head to look at Lin Wei’s hand—so heavy… and the posture was strange… She secretly glanced at Lin Wei, who was still wearing a serious expression, completely immersed in the lesson.
She wanted to say something but hesitated and swallowed the words back. What if she suddenly spoke up and made Lin Wei angry again?
Who knows if Lin Wei was being petty, what if she found another reason to scold her…
Forget it, just a little while longer, I can endure it… Su Nuannuan forced herself to refocus on the question.
“All right… that’s it for today…” Finally, Lin Wei finished explaining the problem.
Su Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up. “Sister… I’ll go back to my room first…”
“Mm.” Lin Wei nodded, watching Su Nuannuan run off from the study. Leaning back in her chair, she recalled the feeling from just now…
Did my heart just beat faster?
Su Nuannuan returned to her room, closed the door, and leaned against it, letting out a long breath.
She collapsed onto the bed and rolled over twice, her gaze involuntarily drifting toward the door, then to the lock on the door…
From now on… should I… lock the door?
But would locking it seem like I don’t trust Sister Chen Li? She looked so upset today… and Chen Li promised it wouldn’t happen again.
“Ah… why would Sister Chen Li do something like that…” Su Nuannuan buried her face in the pillow, recalling the scene in the bathroom. Her cheeks flushed again, and she curled up shyly. That kind of thing… was just too strange!
Late at night, Lin Wei was in the study finishing up the company documents and reports Uncle Li had sent her. Looking at some declining data on the screen, she frowned. It seemed the situation overseas was more complicated than expected; otherwise, why would Su’s parents have gone there—and for such a long time?
After discussing countermeasures with Uncle Li over the phone, Lin Wei felt a bit tired. She shut down her computer and prepared to go to her room to rest.
Passing by Su Nuannuan’s room, she hesitated for a moment. Then quietly, she turned the door handle and slipped inside.
The room was quiet except for Su Nuannuan’s steady breathing. Lin Wei walked in and saw Su Nuannuan completely unguarded like a little animal, clutching a stuffed toy.
Lin Wei knelt by the bed and watched Su Nuannuan quietly, unable to help but reach out and gently stroke the soft top of her hair.
Seeing Su Nuannuan’s peaceful sleeping face, a soft smile appeared at the corner of Lin Wei’s lips, and a gentle feeling welled up in her heart… this silly little sister really was quite cute when asleep.
She quietly left the room and softly closed the door behind her.
Back in her own room, Lin Wei lay on her bed but found no sleepiness. Habitually, she picked up her phone and opened the Apple app, noticing that the author “Qianqian is a Big Mother” had updated several chapters. She hadn’t checked for a few days.
The latest chapter was titled: The Sickly Sister and the Loving Care of Her Older Sister.
Lin Wei raised an eyebrow. What kind of title was that? It felt a bit odd. After hesitating, she still tapped it open.
……
Late at night, the room was dimly lit by only a bedside lamp emitting a yellowish glow, filled with a faint scent of medicine.
The sick older sister lay in bed, pale, her breathing uneven, lips slightly flushed.
The younger sister sat beside the bed, carefully wiping the sweat from her sister’s forehead. The room was very quiet except for their breathing.
Looking at her sister’s weak form, the younger sister’s heart suddenly raced. Her gaze fell on those soft lips.
What would they taste like? She really wanted to try…
This thought made her feel ashamed, but she couldn’t look away. The frail sister lay defenselessly on the bed.
A voice in her mind kept tempting her: It’s okay… she’s asleep… she doesn’t know anything…
Her breathing grew heavier, as if being drawn forward. She unconsciously leaned down.
Getting closer and closer, close enough to feel the warm breath from her sister, only a fingertip’s distance…
End of chapter.
Why end just like this… kiss already… it’s almost there…
Lin Wei’s face flushed. What the hell is this author writing? Why is it… so weird… She put down her phone, feeling heat rise to her cheeks.
But… wait… she couldn’t help but recall that night she took care of a feverish Su Nuannuan…
This is way too immersive. Lin Wei felt like someone had installed cameras on her. Uneasy, she glanced around her room.
But… it’s not right. The story’s main focus is completely on that “younger sister”?
That’s not right!
No matter what, the older sister should be on top, and the younger sister underneath, right? Images flashed uncontrollably in her mind… her face reddened even more.
She eagerly swiped the screen, only to find there was nothing else. The latest chapter stalled at this ambiguous moment.
Lin Wei was somewhat looking forward to the next part. On a whim, she opened the comment section. Her fingers hesitated on the keyboard for a while before biting her lip and typing:
Update quickly! I can’t sleep!
After posting the comment, she immediately threw her phone aside and curled up under the covers.
She touched her own lips.
If I really kissed her, what would it feel like…
