“If I ever had the chance to be a big sister, I’d definitely be different from my own elder sister. I’d be a sister who both spoils her little sister and is responsible!”
Xiao Xi silently tugged at the corner of her mouth.
She knew her little sister didn’t think very highly of her, but surely it wasn’t this bad, right?
“Does your sister treat you badly?”
“Well, not exactly… how should I put it… just…”
After five minutes, Xiao Keke tilted her head and blinked. “Yeah… that’s about it, I can’t think of anything else for now.”
Xiao Keke didn’t notice that during these few minutes, Xiao Xi had been nervously looking down, feeling a bit guilty.
She suddenly realized that the impression she gave her little sister was kind of like Sun Xiaochuan’s—truly hard to describe.
Hearing her little sister talk like this was a new experience for her.
When they chatted as teammates, Xiao Keke only ever mentioned family in passing.
As her little sister, she would never have said something like this.
Most of Xiao Keke’s complaints were related to the Eternal Star, and thinking back, Xiao Xi realized she had really done a lot of wrong back then, trying to crush her little sister’s dream of becoming a magical girl.
Xiao Xi’s thoughts stirred, and she blurted out without thinking, “So… do you hate your sister?”
The words had barely left her mouth before she regretted them, yet at the same time, she anxiously anticipated Xiao Keke’s reply.
“Huh? Of course not! Even though I say stuff like that, she’s still my sister, so as her little sister, I just let her get away with it sometimes.”
Xiao Xi suddenly felt that her little sister, who normally elbows her at the drop of a hat, looked a lot cuter now.
Xiao Keke clenched her fists. “It’s just that sometimes I wish I could switch places with my sister. She always uses her position to bully me, and being the little sister is really tough, you know!”
“But now it’s fine. I have such a cute girl like A Wolf as my little sister. That’s way better than having my sister, a useless otaku whose brain is full of lewd stuff, as my little sister!”
Xiao Keke happily rubbed against Xiao Xi, while the latter, feeling a bit guilty, laughed awkwardly.
“So, A Wolf—” Xiao Keke grabbed Xiao Xi’s hand eagerly but seriously. “I’ve always had a wish. I want to experience what it’s like to spoil a little sister. Can I… ask you to let me?”
“Huh?”
Xiao Xi’s eyes went wide. Wait—she had to act as a defeated magical girl with Ye Xinglan tonight, and during the day she had to play a cute little sister with Xiao Keke.
If she kept this up, she was going to end up with a split personality.
“I think it’s good,” the astrologer’s voice suddenly came through the communicator. “It’ll also help you get used to interacting as sisters faster, right?”
Xiao Xi jumped. The astrologer had been eavesdropping.
“I’m just checking on your training progress. But Little Red Riding Hood’s suggestion is indeed good, and it’s worth noting. So, you don’t mind if I listen in for reference, do you?”
Yeah, Xiao Xi was now sure—the astrologer just wanted to watch the fun.
Before long, in front of a dessert shop on the commercial street, a girl wrapped in a thick white scarf pointed at the cakes in the window and tugged at the other’s sleeve, speaking sweetly.
“Sis—I want to eat this!”
“Alright, I’ll buy it for you.”
The taller, gray-haired girl gently patted her little sister’s head in a sisterly, indulgent way.
“Yay! I love my sister the most!”
Passersby who noticed the scene couldn’t help but smile.
This was clearly a loving sisterly relationship—just from watching them, anyone could tell this gray-haired sister usually spoiled her white-haired little sister.
“Open your mouth, I’ll feed you the first bite.”
Inside the dessert shop, Xiao Xi took a small bite of the cake from the fork Xiao Keke handed her, and couldn’t help speaking.
“So this is how you want to spoil your little sister?”
Xiao Xi wondered what Xiao Keke would think if she knew her true identity.
For now, just looking at Xiao Keke like this made her feel awkward—she could hardly imagine that the person sitting across from her was actually her little sister.
“Wait, so you wanted to switch places with your sister to show how to be a good sister? So… you actually wish your sister treated you like this?”
“No way! I’m just… you’re too cute, A Wolf, so I instinctively did this.”
Still, Xiao Xi noticed Xiao Keke’s faintly reddened cheeks and quietly made a mental note.
Well, she had been an unfit sister for so many years—maybe it was time to make up for it. If Xiao Keke wanted this, then…
“By the way, A Wolf, why do you seem so interested in my sister today? You’ve been asking about her a lot.”
“Ah? It’s… just that I wanted to act more convincingly, so I thought I’d learn more about you, since you have an elder sister.”
Xiao Xi sighed from the bottom of her heart. “Being a little sister really isn’t easy.”
Xiao Keke didn’t think being a sister was hard at all.
If it were only this, having such a cute girl like A Wolf as her little sister was an absolute pleasure.
The whole afternoon, the two spent time acting out this reversed sisterly dynamic, leaving Xiao Xi mentally exhausted. Not to mention the astrologer kept eavesdropping.
Even so, after training ended, Xiao Xi sent Xiao Keke a message with her location, asking her to come over for dinner.
Later, when Xiao Keke arrived, Xiao Xi was wearing an apron and bustling around, preparing a large spread.
“Why did you suddenly ask me to come over for dinner?”
“Well… since Xinglan and I moved into a new place, I thought I’d invite you over to check it out,” Xiao Xi said casually.
Xiao Keke looked at her sister in the apron. She retracted the things she had said earlier—her sister didn’t look like a useless otaku anymore, but more like a married woman, which was kind of scary.
Then the “satisfying married woman” sister politely pulled out a chair for her.
Xiao Xi personally served Xiao Keke some food, saying, “Come on, Keke, try this dish your sister made. It’s really delicious.”
Xiao Keke said nothing.
“Why aren’t you eating, Keke? Want sister to feed you?”
“Go away!” Xiao Keke got goosebumps all over her body, retreating like she’d seen something disgusting. “Can you just say what you want? This is so gross!”
Xiao Xi looked wronged. But didn’t you just do the exact same thing this afternoon? You wanted your sister to spoil you, yet now you’re playing double standards.
“Tell me! Why did you really ask me here today? If it’s to borrow money, I’ll give you anything, just don’t gross me out!”
“Maybe your sister just missed you,” Ye Xinglan chimed in. “She even asked me today whether she’s a competent sister or not.”
“Xinglan!”
Xiao Keke’s first reaction was disbelief—her sister missed her? Yeah, right.
But seeing the food held in front of her, and feeling that refusing it would hurt her sister, Xiao Keke finally took a bite.
She swallowed the food her sister fed her.
