“No, no, no, I have money, thank you, Sister Yao.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued searching for clothes in the closet with one hand.
“You have money? I haven’t seen you doing any part-time jobs, and you’re still in school, right?”
“I have a job, and the pay is high.”
The silver-haired girl searched for a while before finally pulling out some slightly more neutral long pants and clothes from the closet.
Yu Yao almost broke down after hearing that.
“Can you tell me what kind of job it is?”
“It’s kind of like a nanny…”
Su Xiaoxiao also noticed her unease.
“Ah, Sister Yao, you didn’t misunderstand and think I’m doing that kind of thing, right?”
“Don’t worry, even if I starved, I wouldn’t do it.”
“…Mm.”
Yu Yao was still a bit worried.
“But is a nanny’s salary really that high? Can someone like you be a nanny?”
“Probably.”
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the clothes she was about to change into and headed for the bathroom.
“Sister Yao, wait a bit. Once I finish changing, let’s go out.”
“Mm.”
Yu Yao realized she’d asked too much and sat on the bed, glancing around the room.
While the girl went to change, she scanned the surroundings.
Inside, it was cramped, and after putting in a bed, there was almost no space left to move.
The walls were covered with messy graffiti from previous tenants.
Moreover, the nearby roads were all alleys—not very safe.
This really is worrying.
After looking around, Yu Yao saw the girl come out and immediately made a suggestion.
“My place is pretty big. Although it’s far from your school, I can get up early and drive you. Why not stay at my house?”
“Eh, let’s not… Thank you, Sister.”
Yu Yao thought such an offer couldn’t possibly be refused, but the girl firmly declined.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that mooching off others was just too weak.
On her first day of rebirth, she’d already decided to rely on her own abilities to survive, especially since she’d been powerless in her previous life.
“Alright then…”
“Eh, Xia Xia.”
While adjusting her pants, Su Xiaoxiao saw the dog struggling with something stuck by the side of the bed.
She immediately climbed onto the bed to help and found its leg was caught by the bedframe.
Luckily, she lifted the board a bit and it came free—nothing serious.
“Ah, I didn’t notice just now, sorry.”
Yu Yao looked on, feeling a bit guilty.
“It’s fine. Xia Xia’s perfectly fine now, right?”
The silver-haired girl flopped softly onto the bed, playing with the puppy, her smile blooming like a white orchid, stirring affection in Yu Yao’s heart.
“Xiaoxiao…”
A lovestruck Yu Yao stared at the girl, swallowed hard, and, after making a silent decision, slowly climbed onto the bed, pressing her body onto the petite figure.
“Sister Yao, what’s wrong?”
Caught off guard, Su Xiaoxiao shrank her hands in front of her, pressing them right against the big sister’s impressive assets.
“I…”
Yu Yao looked at the girl she’d dreamed about for a week, and was so nervous she stuttered.
“Actually… I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”
If you agree, I can protect you properly, too.
“I know it’s sudden, but I hope you’ll consider it. I’m sincere—I’ll do anything.”
After saying that, Yu Yao’s face was so red she could hardly speak.
It was her first time lowering herself to talk to someone like this.
She silently prayed in her heart that this “forceful confession” method would work.
“Eh.”
Faced with this sudden confession of love, Su Xiaoxiao’s mind was still in standby mode.
This was the first confession she’d ever received in her life.
Su Xiaoxiao could see the longing in the big sister’s eyes.
From the moment they’d met, she’d been so gentle and caring to her—it was hard to say she didn’t like her.
Good personality, great figure, and beautiful.
“Mm…”
The girl stayed silent, and while thinking, her small hand couldn’t help but move a little.
“Ah.”
The beautiful sister in front of her made a sound, snapping Su Xiaoxiao back to reality.
“Ah, sorry.”
“Xiaoxiao, what’s your answer?”
Yu Yao didn’t care about anything else; all her attention was on her.
But in the end, even after a minute of lying together, the other didn’t respond.
As expected, huh.
“I’m sorry.”
Knowing the answer, Yu Yao regretted it a bit and trembled as she pushed herself up.
“Later, I can buy whatever you like as a spiritual compensation.”
There had been countless boys who pursued her before, but her own first attempt ended in failure.
Gender really is an insurmountable gap.
“No, it’s not that I hate you.”
Only after the other got up did Su Xiaoxiao finally recover.
“And, I can accept Sister Yao’s request—but I have one condition too.”
“That is, you become my girlfriend, not me yours.”
“Mm?”
Yu Yao was slow to react, then turned to the girl in surprise, feeling as if her emotions were riding a roller coaster.
“Ah, no problem!”
“…Sister Yao.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s face flushed.
So if Yu Xueqin is the husband and Sister Yao is the girlfriend, there shouldn’t be a conflict, right?
What’s that saying again?
‘Only children make choices—I want them all.’
That’s how she felt now.
Maybe a bit unfaithful, but…
Fine, it is unfaithful.
“Mm, I’m here.”
Yu Yao was naturally delighted with the positive outcome.
“But Xiaoxiao looks so petite and delicate, yet has such a strong core—it’s totally unexpected.”
“What are you talking about?”
Su Xiaoxiao had no idea what the other was saying.
Wasn’t it just agreeing to a confession?
What’s so deep about that?
“It’s nothing. I’ll play along with you.”
Yu Yao, having succeeded in her confession, was in a great mood and already thinking about future children’s names.
She also felt grateful for her younger sister’s scheming.
If she’d kept being timid, who knows when she’d have succeeded.
So, it was thanks to Yu Xueqin that she was able to win her beloved girl.
“Mm…”
Su Xiaoxiao was still immersed in the beautiful sister’s gentleness.
“I’ll send a message—wait a bit.”
As if remembering something, Su Xiaoxiao got up from the big sister’s body, opened her phone, and tapped on qq.
[Xiaoxiao]: Something happened, so I might be a bit late.
[Xiaoxiao]: Just a little late, I’ll go make you dinner in a bit.
She sent it to Yu Xueqin, then glanced at all the unread messages on her phone—no time to reply right now.
“Who is it?”
Yu Yao tilted her head, curious.
“Can I see?”
“Ah, it’s nothing—just classmates chatting.”
Su Xiaoxiao put her phone away.
“Okay, then let’s go out.”
Yu Yao didn’t ask further and took the girl’s slender hand.
“There’s a new playground nearby that just opened.”
“By the way, what did Xiaoxiao go home for last weekend?”
“Work.”
“Eh? Alright then.”
After that, the two girls happily went to the amusement park, riding the carousel and Ferris wheel.
The atmosphere was ambiguous and filled with orange-tinted shoujo vibes.
While playing, Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit guilty inside, as if she owed someone.
***
“Over an hour late—nice going.”
“Ah, sorry…”
Su Xiaoxiao shifted from a cheerful mood to one of fear, bowing her head and not daring to look up.
“My classmate dragged me off, and I couldn’t refuse.”
“So if I drag you off to do something, you’ll just go along with it?”
The black-haired girl had a dark expression.
“I guess…”
Su Xiaoxiao peeked up at her.
As long as it wasn’t too much, she’d basically agree—after all, she was being paid.
Oh, right, no lewd stuff allowed.
“Heh, you said it.”
Yu Xueqin stopped holding back and grabbed her hand directly.
“Now get on the bed and lie down—I want to play.”
