Chapter 37: My Girlfriend Is Better Than Yours!

It was just so sudden, even though we’d never met.

Am I really this attractive now, able to attract even girls?

“Hey.”

The girl touched her own cheek, a little self-absorbed.

Well, there’s nothing I can do—Su Xiaoxiao is just this cute.

“Ding～”

After her moment of narcissism, she opened her phone and saw that Yu Xueqin had sent a message.

[Yu Xueqin]: I said I’d come in the afternoon, so I’ll come again.

Okay～

[Xiaoxiao]: Alright, as you command.

Whatever you say goes.

With this, as long as I go again tonight, I’ll have enough to pay the rent.

“Mm… Why do I have such a strange feeling?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought.

“Forget it, whatever.”

She continued playing on her phone and then noticed another message.

[Big Sister from Outside]: You replied, little sister. What are you doing now?

This name was a note Su Xiaoxiao made herself—Big Sister met outside, easier to tell.

[Xiaoxiao]: Mm…Just got home and finished dinner. Big Sister, did you contact me for something?

“Ding～”

The reply came quickly.

[Big Sister from Outside]: Isn’t meeting also a kind of fate? We met, it’s fate, so having a way to contact each other is normal.

Ah? Does this mean you add everyone you meet?

[Big Sister from Outside]: Then…Little sister, are you free tomorrow or the day after? Let’s go out together. Isn’t your friend raising a cat? I want to have one too. Can you tell me about taking care of cats when we meet?

A long string of words appeared.

Su Xiaoxiao only saw one sentence—go out and play.

Such fast progress! But since it’s a pretty Big Sister, I’ll accept!

[Xiaoxiao]: Sure, but I have school, so I’m not free in the evening. Maybe the day after tomorrow.

[Big Sister from Outside]: No problem, then let’s make it the day after tomorrow!

In the end, they happily agreed to meet at eight in the morning on Saturday near Xiamuo Plaza.

“So enthusiastic.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her phone, feeling like everything was so dreamy.

Why couldn’t a beautiful Big Sister approach me on the street in my previous life by fate and invite me out?

Forget it, I won’t think about it.

If we’re going, then so be it. It’s not a bad thing.

She closed the message from Big Sister from Outside and opened Xia Bingrou’s.

[Xiaoxiao]: I’ll bring you some cat food tonight, it’s on the way. How about it?

[Bingbing]: Okay, thanks.

The other party was also online, but the reply was very short.

“With this, everything is settled.”

Su Xiaoxiao lay down on the bed, stretching out.

“Time to sleep.”

Zzzz

The girl lay on her bed for twenty minutes at noon before going to school.

The afternoon class was still boring, and she spaced out again.

Just like the drawing board at night, she was now imagining Big Sister’s home.

***

“Bang—bang—”

“Little sister, I’m here.”

“Squeak…”

Yu Yao, after a long absence, came to her little sister’s house. She knocked for a while before her sister finally came to open the door.

“Little sister～”

“Don’t come over.”

The girl inside the door looked at her with obvious disgust.

“Ah…Don’t be like that, it’s been so long since we met.”

Yu Yao felt a little hurt by her sister’s resistance.

“I’ve been so worried about you, you know.”

“Then thank you.”

Yu Xueqin replied perfunctorily.

“Hey, let me in. We haven’t talked as sisters in a long time.”

“…Speak quickly.”

Listening to her sister, Yu Yao felt a small pang of pain inside.

“How have you been lately? Did you find a girlfriend?”

Yu Yao entered the house and got straight to the point.

“Not yet.”

Yu Xueqin didn’t really want to talk.

“You?”

“I did. Today, actually—just at noon, I found her in the store.”

The girl spoke confidently.

She believed that as long as you added each other’s contacts, whether or not it worked out was just a matter of time.

Because she’d never failed before. Even if it was her first time, she was sure she’d succeed.

“Ah?↘↗”

Yu Xueqin, beside her, was no longer calm, her mouth slightly open, making a weird, yin-yang sound.

It was obvious she didn’t believe it.

How could her sister—who sat in the office all day and even sent her pretty-girl videos on WeChat like a pervert—possibly find a girlfriend?

Honestly, sis, are you sure you haven’t gone dumb from lack of sleep?

Are you dreaming?

“Don’t doubt me.”

Yu Yao raised her chin, proud.

“Wait until our relationship deepens, then I’ll bring her over for you to meet in a few days. She’s very cute, so don’t get jealous.”

“Hehe.”

The girl beside her laughed.

“Ah, right, right, I’m so jealous of you.”

“? Angry?”

“You’re the one who’s angry, making up dreams and telling me about them.”

Yu Xueqin’s tone wasn’t very friendly toward this invader.

“Just wait. At most, by next weekend, I’ll bring her over for you to see. She’s just been busy lately.”

Yu Yao spoke with determination.

“Fine, then I’ll tell you—actually, I have a girlfriend too.”

Yu Xueqin pointed to the floor.

“You know, right? I’m not one for cleaning, but look, isn’t this floor spotless?”

Yu Yao looked over and, indeed, the floor was surprisingly clean.

?!

She was shocked, because her little sister was a total shut-in and would never clean this thoroughly.

Besides, it looked freshly cleaned—maybe yesterday or even today.

“You really got one?”

Yu Yao didn’t want to believe it, but she had no choice.

Her lazy, shut-in sister had actually gotten a girlfriend.

Then she’d have to speed up her own plans.

This Saturday, she’d take her down for sure.

“How about it? Don’t be jealous～”

Yu Xueqin became sarcastic.

How her sister had spoken to her earlier, now she threw it back.

“…..”

Yu Yao was annoyed. How could she use her own words against her?

“I don’t have time this week. Next Sunday, bring your girlfriend. I’ll bring mine too. Let’s see whose girlfriend is cuter!”

“It’s a deal.”

Yu Xueqin refused to back down.

The little one she brought home yesterday might be a bit silly, but in terms of looks, she was sure she’d win.

She was already imagining her sister’s jealous face next Sunday.

Hahaha.

At the same time, Yu Yao was thinking the same thing.

Hahaha.

Just keep being confident, little sister.

When the time comes, you’ll definitely be jealous of your big sister—my girl is the cutest I’ve ever seen.

“Zzzz”

The beautiful campus life.

Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep in Chinese class, her head still heavy on the classroom desk.

She had a nightmare—in it, two people were pulling on her arms, one on each side, and it hurt.

“Xiaoxiao, school’s over. Want to go out and play today?”

Outside the dream, a voice called Su Xiaoxiao out of her nightmare.

“…Ugh, who is it?”

“It’s me, your Xiaoyun.”

Opening her eyes, Ning Xiaoyun was holding her hand, looking at her with expectant eyes.

…So the dream was your fault.

Don’t grab people’s hands while they’re sleeping.

And you’re not mine.

“…Go play somewhere else.”

The girl had just woken up and was a bit grumpy.

She still had work to do.

“Ah, uuu, you told me to get lost.”

Ning Xiaoyun was hurt again.

This time she couldn’t hold it in, and began to cry from all the accumulated sadness over the past few days.

“Ah, I didn’t mean to tell you to get lost.”

Su Xiaoxiao was startled awake by the crying.

“Sorry, I just woke up. Sorry, don’t cry.”
