Su Xiaoxiao felt miserable, while Elder Sister was happy.
Because she had caught a “Divine Beast”—smooth, slippery, and soft—just like the real thing, and extremely cute.
Yu Xueqin was in a great mood, walking with light steps into the hall to pick up the vegetables scattered on the floor earlier, then heading to the kitchen and picking up the spatula for the first time in a while.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t cooked in a long time.”
Her shirt collar wasn’t buttoned, and now it was still slightly open.
But clearly, even though she hadn’t done anything, the person had gone soft. What was she supposed to do next?
Just thinking of the delicate girl lying in the bedroom, unable to move from being played with too much, made her fingers itch.
Let’s wait a few more days and see.
Yu Xueqin picked up the kitchen knife, recalling her previous techniques, and began chopping skillfully.
Elder Sister was busy in the kitchen, while Su Xiaoxiao was still curled up under the blanket.
“Ugh..”
Her head rested on the pillow as she slowly calmed down from the feeling of being violated just now.
She’d been bullied.
Damn it… If not for the current physical debuff, she would definitely cause chaos in a few days.
Su Xiaoxiao felt unwilling, her heart filled with frustration.
Why did she have to just watch?
“Hmph, don’t blame me for being ruthless later.”
The girl muttered fiercely to herself, her little claws clutching the bedsheet for courage, as if determined to win.
After thinking through her plans, Su Xiaoxiao buried herself back under the covers, her mind drifting until she unknowingly fell asleep.
She was tired from struggling, and her hand had been held earlier.
Just like that, the soft moans in the bedroom disappeared, replaced only by steady breathing.
By the time the Elder Sister who led the group finished cooking and came to call her, she was already dreaming.
“Hey, it’s time to eat.”
Yu Xueqin had just entered the room and immediately felt something was off.
The last time she’d seriously cooked was back in her first year of college, for her sister.
“Hmm, no response?”
Reminiscing made her a little nostalgic.
When she returned to reality, she saw the small lump on the bed wasn’t moving at all.
So she walked over to the bed and slowly opened a small gap with her hand.
Inside the covers, the petite girl’s body trembled slightly, her face pale, and under the light, tiny crystal tears hung from her lashes.
“This…”
Yu Xueqin was startled.
No way, was she really this scared?
“Are you okay? The food is ready, get up.”
She crawled into the blanket, gently pressing her soft body against the trembling girl.
“Who told you to be so stubborn just now? Now you know how tough I am.”
“Don’t hit me.”
The Elder Sister’s sweet voice pulled Su Xiaoxiao from her dream, though fear still lingered in her tone, as if she’d had a nightmare.
“Eh… It’s Sister Yu.”
Feeling the familiar sensation on her upper body, Su Xiaoxiao half-opened her eyes and realized she was being hugged again.
“Mm, I didn’t hit you.”
Yu Xueqin responded immediately.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
“Mm.”
The girl in her arms nodded.
“So, you weren’t crying because I forced you earlier?”
“Mm. Wait, who cried?”
Reminded, Su Xiaoxiao touched the corner of her eye and found traces of wetness.
She had had a nightmare, though she couldn’t remember the details—just that she was in an alley, and someone was chasing her.
It felt so real, almost as if it was happening, and the place even resembled her current home.
“Maybe I’m the reason you had a nightmare. I’ll try not to force you from now on.”
Yu Xueqin sat up, buttoning the front of her shirt as she did.
“Oh, then can I force you instead..”
Hearing the word ‘force’ made Su Xiaoxiao excited, and before she knew it, she let slip her long-term plan.
“Ah, no, that’s not what I meant.”
“Thank you for cooking, Sister Yu. I’ll cook myself from now on.”
The girl quickly changed the subject, darting out of the bedroom on her small legs.
“You’re not even dressed, running so fast.”
Yu Xueqin couldn’t stop her in time.
She glanced down at the messy white undergarments and High School Uniform on the bed, remembering what had just been said.
This kid only talks tough.
“Ah, my clothes!”
Sure enough, moments later Su Xiaoxiao dashed back in.
“Hurry up and gun… No, I mean, Sister, go eat first. I’ll come out after I’m dressed.”
“?”
Yu Xueqin heard the girl’s insult but let it slide.
“Fine, take your time.”
Su Xiaoxiao, in a panic, covered her little chest with one hand while using the other to push the taller person out.
“I didn’t cook today, so no need for payment.”
She whispered before closing the door.
Yu Xueqin didn’t respond, just looked at the small girl, her skin flushed in several places.
Free service isn’t bad.
She went to the dining table, tidied up, and started eating alone.
There was tofu today, so she made steamed tofu.
The bought chili wasn’t used—it would wait until someone felt better.
“Mm, you came?”
After eating for a while, Yu Xueqin watched as an unsteady girl came to sit opposite her.
Sitting so far away?
“Mm.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s little face was still red, and she ate in silence.
There was no conversation at the table, only the dull clinking of dishes.
Even the person who liked watching the children’s channel didn’t make a move.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Yu Xueqin finished eating first.
“You’re so sulky. Did I break you?”
“No way! As if that could break me.”
“Oh?”
“Ah, no. A book fell out of the cabinet in the room just now, so I tidied it up…”
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head.
Yu Xueqin looked at her, not understanding for a moment.
Right, there were a lot of R18 books in the cabinet, though she hadn’t read them in a while.
She’d thrown them in there haphazardly on the first day this girl arrived.
“Ahem.”
Yu Xueqin coughed with authority.
“These things, I can read, but you can’t. Got it?”
“Okay.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, still thinking about what she’d just seen in the books.
Maybe because she was immersed, it felt incredibly real.
Not long after, Su Xiaoxiao finished eating, washed her hands, and went to play on her phone on the sofa.
She didn’t forget Xiao Yun, so she opened QQ first.
[Big Crybaby]: What did Xiaoxiao eat for lunch? Did you get enough? If not, I’ll bring you more in the afternoon.
Seeing the person on the screen caring about her, Su Xiaoxiao felt warm inside.
Much better than the person who made her body tremble.
[Xiaoxiao]: Thank you for caring. I’m full.
The girl in the School Uniform chatted happily, full of springtime energy, and Yu Xueqin noticed too.
But this time, she didn’t feel uncomfortable.
She just looked at her long fingers and quietly continued scrolling through her phone on the chair.
