Chapter 56: Go On, I Dare You to Mess with Me

Then this isn’t love…

Su Xiaoxiao understood what it felt like to like someone, so she easily deduced what this feeling was.

“If you don’t like him, then don’t agree.”

Su Xiaoxiao placed her hand on her shoulder, her tone suddenly firm.

“And besides, you have Liu Yun, a true friend, don’t you? When she met me just now, her tone and expression were filled with worry, afraid you’d be deceived by that bad guy.”

“Mm, I know.”

Xiao Li, still lying down, slowly raised her head to look at her.

“You don’t know. Actually, that senior came to me too, but I rejected him.”

Su Xiaoxiao began exposing the other party, a bit displeased.

“He’s a real playboy. If you accepted, you’d just be played with.”

“This… Xiaoxiao, don’t talk bad about others.”

Xiao Li was still hesitating, not fully believing it.

“Although we’ve just met, I won’t lie to you. Can you trust me?”

The silver-haired girl mustered her courage and looked into Xiao Li’s eyes.

“Mm… then I’ll think about it again.”

Xiao Li lowered her head, falling into deep thought.

Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to pinch her awake right now and make her snap out of it.

“Play with me a bit longer.”

Xiao Li’s voice was low as she pulled her hand, the soft sensation passing from her fingertips.

This was the first time they held hands.

“Mm, think carefully before you decide.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s face grew slightly warm as she put her hand on the mouse, searching for the next version.

“This one, looks like it just came out.”

There were many versions of Game of Fire and Ice Duo Adventure, so there was no need to worry about running out of things to play.

So they started again.

This time, they played for a longer time since neither had played before.

“All cleared, hey.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the game filled with A ratings on the screen, feeling satisfied inside.

“Me too.”

Xiao Li slowly climbed onto the bed and picked up the drawing board.

“Thank you for playing with me.”

“I need to prepare some illustrations now. If you want something to eat or drink, get it from under the bed. There are cookies and milk.”

“Mm, got it.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed cheerfully, then got off the bed to grab a small handful of cookies to eat.

A bit hungry, she ate three or four before crawling back onto the bed beside the trash can.

Xiao Li was lying on the bed, focused on drawing, so Su Xiaoxiao didn’t disturb her.

She just sat at the edge of the bed and started playing with her phone.

As for the confession matter, she absolutely wouldn’t agree.

She planned to watch Xiao Li closely all next week.

“Hmm?”

Su Xiaoxiao, lost in thought, suddenly opened her phone and widened her eyes at a message.

Ah, I forgot about that guy.

There was a notification on the screen for 25 messages from someone.

She’d seen it last night, dismissed it, then went to shower and forgot to reply.

This morning, she’d been focused on coming over and hadn’t checked.

She quickly tapped in.

[Big Crybaby]: Xiaoxiao, what time are we meeting tomorrow morning?

[Big Crybaby]: What kind of candy do you like? I’ll bring you some.

[Big Crybaby]: No reply—did you fall asleep? Then I’ll just bring whatever. Not sure if you’ll like it.

There were over a dozen more messages, until the latest one just sent.

[Big Crybaby]: Wow, did you oversleep? Hurry up, lazy pig!

Oh… Sorry.

[Xiaoxiao]: I’m sorry.

[Big Crybaby]: It’s fine, it’s fine. Studying is tiring, right? Get some rest. It’s okay to go in the afternoon too.

Looking at the words on the screen, Su Xiaoxiao felt even more guilty.

She couldn’t say she’d forgotten about them.

Later, she’d buy some desserts for Ning Xiaoyun.

After agreeing with her deskmate again, Su Xiaoxiao continued checking other messages.

First, she reported the results to Liu Yun, then sent Sister Yao a good afternoon.

Mm, the big sister also added qq. Now every morning, noon, and evening, she’d greet her. It was nice.

But for every gentle person, there were naturally also domineering ones.

[Adoptive Sister Yu]: Come quickly at noon, understood?

The tone was full of command, not gentle at all.

[Xiaoxiao]: Got it, but I still need to buy some groceries and seasonings, so I’ll be a bit late.

After a while, the other side replied.

[Adoptive Sister Yu]: Fine. After eating, let me hold you to sleep. You’re much comfier than a pillow.

Huh?

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the message, her small cherry lips slightly open.

So the whole point was to make her hurry up and be a hugging pillow.

Yuri sister, that’s not allowed.

[Xiaoxiao]: No way. Being hugged is too hot, and you squeeze me.

[Adoptive Sister Yu]: Still dare to refuse? This is an order. You must obey. Do you even know your situation now?

For a moment, this domineering tone made the girl a little uncomfortable.

[Xiaoxiao]: Tch, what’s there to be scared of? I’m not afraid anyway.

Su Xiaoxiao tapped on the fake keyboard like a war god, unafraid of anything, daring to retort.

Combined with the invincible feeling she had in the game just now, she felt even bolder.

Maybe another reason was that Sister Yu treated her so well she didn’t think she’d do anything.

[Xiaoxiao]: If you’ve got the guts, come at me. You might not even win.

With a tap of her small hand, the message was sent.

The other side didn’t reply for a long time, making Su Xiaoxiao feel a bit smug.

See?

As expected.

Just being taller and a bit bigger there, when it comes to this kind of thing, she didn’t dare argue back.

Weak.

[Adoptive Sister Yu]: Heh, fine.

[Adoptive Sister Yu]: It’s already past eleven forty. Almost noon. Hurry up. I’ll get ready first.

The other party emphasized the time.

[Xiaoxiao]: Mm, I’ll get ready too.

Lunch, is Sister Yu going to help cut the eggplant again today?

She sliced it just right, making it taste even better, so Su Xiaoxiao felt pretty good about it.

Mm, I’ll have to work hard on grocery shopping too.

The girl quietly clenched her pink fist, making up her mind.

Cooking together in the kitchen was so passionate—it was something she’d never done before.

With no more messages to reply to, Su Xiaoxiao put down her phone out of boredom and turned her gaze back to the beautiful girl on the bed.

She was still lying there drawing, her two small legs slowly swaying behind her.

It looked like she was drawing smoothly.

Her slender waist and white legs sparked some fantasies, but Su Xiaoxiao restrained herself.

Who was she?

A proper, upstanding person.

“What are you drawing?”

Su Xiaoxiao slowly crawled forward, trying to see Xiao Li.

“Wow.”

On the drawing board was a little girl with maximum seductiveness, barely covered by scraps of fabric over the important three points.

If you looked closely, the little girl also resembled a shrunken, anime-style Xiao Li.

“Ah.”

The girl, caught, squealed and shrank into the corner of the bed.

“No, you didn’t see anything.”

“So seductive.”

But Su Xiaoxiao was still immersed in the artwork.

“Sorry for letting you see something bad. This is the type I draw…”

“It’s fine. It actually feels pretty good to look at, so no problem!”

Faced with the girl’s embarrassment and low voice, Su Xiaoxiao accepted with a sunny expression.

Seductive!

She loved seductive!

Seeing her acceptance, Xiao Li stopped hiding. At Su Xiaoxiao’s request, she even showed her previous works.

All of them were powerful illustrations, pretty impressive.

“Good luck, I support you.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s face was red, heart surging.

After looking at the pictures, she looked up at the slender girl sitting cross-legged beside her.

Mm… she almost couldn’t hold back.

Checking the time, it was already 12:10.

I’m out, I’m out, time to prepare lunch.

“I’m going home now.”

“Mm, bye. Thank you for being with me today. I feel much better.”

“Mm.”

Su Xiaoxiao saw the girl’s faint smile, and time seemed to return to when she secretly watched her in a previous life.

She was like this back then too.

After Xiao Li helped open the door, she made it outside successfully.

“Grocery shopping… Let’s buy some green onions first, we ran out.”

Su Xiaoxiao recalled her plan, then took out her phone to send another message.

[Xiaoxiao]: Prepare a bit more. I might not be that fast.
