Inside the spacious office, a mature woman dressed in formal attire collapsed onto the sofa chair without regard for her image.
Her face looked haggard, but when she tapped open her phone, a glimmer of light finally appeared in her eyes.
“So tired, I can finally play on my phone.”
Yu Yao sprawled across the desk, arms wide open, hot breath escaping from her small mouth.
It wasn’t physical exhaustion, but mental fatigue.
Who knew things would suddenly come up yesterday and only finish today?
She hadn’t slept well all night.
Yu Yao felt that if this went on, her hair would start falling out.
“Ah, hang in there a bit more. Tomorrow I’ll be healed.”
She opened her messages with anticipation, only to find the girl hadn’t sent her any message last night.
“Ah, no reply.”
She was wounded.
[Yu Yao]: Little sister, you didn’t forget about tomorrow morning, right?
If she forgot, she’d die.
Yesterday, she’d used 300% of her energy to handle things, just because she thought she could recover energy on Saturday when she came over.
After sending the message a little anxiously, Yu Yao opened A Station.
Like many guys, she enjoyed watching beautiful girls’ videos, but she was very picky and had high standards.
Petite, cheerful, pure, friendly, and most importantly—cute.
Yu Yao had seen many fitting candidates in videos before, but unfortunately, most of them used some dark arts or space distortion tricks. She could spot them instantly.
Naturally, there was only one result after that—unfollow the AP owner.
“Luckily, she doesn’t have a boyfriend. Hehe.”
Yu Yao started grinning foolishly at the thought.
After searching for so long, finally—!
Oh, and one more thing.
[Little Kitty Cute]: (Transfer)
She suddenly remembered she hadn’t given her little sister money today, so she opened WeChat and transferred today’s four-digit allowance.
[Do Not Want to Move]: Okay, thanks.
[Do Not Want to Move]: Sis, give a bit more next time. I need it.
The reply came quickly.
Sis, now she knows to call me that?
Yu Yao looked at the message, feeling a bit helpless, but she couldn’t get angry.
Back in high school, Yu Xueqin had treated her quite well, not like now where she wouldn’t even let her in the house. Back then, she often cooked for her.
And whenever Yu Yao was tired from too many college courses, she would always take care of her.
Such a good little sister, Yu Yao even thought at the time…
But that idea was unspeakable and slowly faded away. Now, only deep familial affection remained.
Yu Yao truly didn’t want the hardworking, virtuous little sister from before to become so slothful now.
But there was no helping it.
It was all because their parents were so eager back then to find a match with equal status.
As her Elder Sister, she also bore some responsibility.
“More money, huh.”
Yu Yao kept staring at the screen.
Money wasn’t lacking, but—
[Little Kitty Cute]: As long as you promise not to be a shut-in every day, go out and find something to do, I’ll double your daily allowance, or even more.
[Do Not Want to Move]: What could I even do now? Get a job?
[Do Not Want to Move]: Working is impossible. Besides, I have no experience. The pay would be low—doesn’t seem worth it.
[Little Kitty Cute]: Then how about I find you a high-paying job? There’s a storefront near Xiamo Zhongcheng. I’ll give you the funds to open a shop.
Yu Yao thought of the small building, previously used by the company for promotions and handovers, but now unused due to various changes.
Although it was small, the decor was nice, and its location in the city center was pretty good.
[Do Not Want to Move]: Going out is troublesome. Is there a job that doesn’t require leaving the house?
[Little Kitty Cute]: …Then don’t even think about getting more money.
Yu Yao sent the message with determination, then, as usual, casually forwarded a video from A Station.
[Little Kitty Cute]: (Beautiful girl video)
[Do Not Want to Move]: Forget it if you won’t give more. By the way, you still watch these kinds of videos? Where’s your girlfriend?
[Little Kitty Cute]: She’s still in school. Not home yet.
[Do Not Want to Move]: Oh.
Oh? She still didn’t believe it.
Yu Yao decided that after things worked out, she would show off to her little sister, then live a happy life and stop watching these videos.

“So full.”
On the street, Su Xiaoxiao had just left a restaurant.
Her steps were slow and her movements difficult.
She’d overeaten!
“Wuwu, I’ll never order an extra bowl again.”
She sobbed, rubbing her swollen stomach, looking like… well, like that.
But it wasn’t actually like that. She’d just eaten two bowls of rice and, afraid of waste, forced herself to finish it all.
But how could her little stomach handle so much? Now, she could only walk while holding her belly.
And that also hurt.
Uncomfortable.
Su Xiaoxiao trudged back to her tiny room, legs trembling weakly, taking nearly twenty minutes.
As soon as she got home, she washed her hands, waited for them to dry, and then opened her phone.
“Big Sister from Outside is done with work.”
[Big Sister from Outside]: Little sister, you didn’t forget about tomorrow morning, right?
[Xiaoxiao]: Tomorrow morning at eight, Xiamuo Plaza, right? I won’t forget.
She slid the message up—everything was still there.
Besides, Su Xiaoxiao had never experienced going out alone to play with someone, so she’d always kept Big Sister from Outside’s invitation in her heart.
If she were still a boy, this would probably count as a date. Walking together with such a beautiful person—it would definitely be exciting.
But unfortunately, she was a girl now.
Maybe Elder Sister just wanted to take her shopping.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit disappointed at the thought. As a girl, there was nothing she could do.
[Big Sister from Outside]: Wow, that’s great! Thank you!
[Big Sister from Outside]: By the way, my surname is Yu, given name Yao. My name is Yu Yao. I forgot to say it earlier.
Su Xiaoxiao was still feeling sad when a message from Big Sister from Outside arrived.
[Xiaoxiao]: Mm, hello, Sister Yao. My name is Su Xiaoxiao. You can just call me Xiaoxiao.
Yu, huh? What a coincidence—her boss’s surname was also Yu.
Thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt they were a bit similar—not just in name, but also a little in appearance.
But their personalities were completely different.
[Big Sister from Outside]: What a cute name~ Xiaoxiao.
It really was cute. She agreed.
“But being called cute doesn’t make me happy at all.”
Su Xiaoxiao became sad again.
Unable to flirt with anyone—it was too depressing.
Wait, Yu Xueqin was also into girls, so there was hope.
But she didn’t have the courage. Ugh.
“Beep,”
Su Xiaoxiao chatted with Sister Yao while opening QQ to ask Tongtong to meet her after school, and also contacted President Xiaoyun.

“Xia Rou, here’s the Student Card I just got for you.”
A man over forty sat at the dining table, hands callused, holding out the Student Card he’d prepared for his daughter.
“Okay, thank you, Dad.”
The girl had just gotten home and saw her father having lunch.
She’d lost her Student Card after feeding the cat and going to the hospital yesterday.
She clearly had it when she left class, so it must’ve dropped somewhere between the school and the street outside.
“Work hard. If you get good grades on next week’s exam, the whole family will go out for a few days to have some fun.”
“No need, Dad. Don’t you have a lot of work to do? Don’t waste your time on me.”
Xia Bingrou declined.
“Haha, my good daughter. Then study hard.”
The kind-faced man cleared the table, then went to his room to continue working.
Xia Bingrou returned to her own room as well.
“Meow~ Meow~”
As soon as she opened the door, two little cats jumped out.
Little Orange and Little Grey hadn’t left the room all morning—they’d just waited inside for their owner.
