17. Give Up, I’m a Woman You’ll Never Get!
Ugh…
Ruo Xiaoxi’s face was a mask of exasperation, her eyebrows twitching in annoyance.
Seeing Xia Zhibai gazing at her with such fascination, Ruo Xiaoxi felt a strange sense of defeat.
Damn it, she wasn’t even listening!
After such blatant hints, she should have understood. Don’t focus all your attention on my garter stockings and legs!
Whatever, it’s you who’ll be crying later, not me.
Woman, I advise you not to push your luck.jpg!
“Xiaoxi’s legs are so slender, that’s why these stockings suit you so well. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to pull them off at all… I really need to lose some weight!”
“Don’t be so insecure, Sister Xia. Even without stockings, your legs look great. Wearing a cool, leg-revealing skirt in the summer, I bet those stinky boys dream of being between your thighs.”
“You’re just flattering me.” But Xia Zhibai felt a little pleased.
“Not at all. Sister’s legs aren’t just legs, they’re the spring waters of the Seine~”
“I really want to taste how sweet that honey-dripping mouth of yours is.” Xia Zhibai pinched Ruo Xiaoxi’s cheeks, making her pout.
Seeing Ruo Xiaoxi’s flustered, adorable expression, Xia Zhibai couldn’t help but smile.
“Oh, wait a moment, I need to grab something from that shop over there,” she suddenly remembered.
“Hmm? Oh, okay.” Ruo Xiaoxi tilted her head and waited.
She watched as Xia Zhibai entered a small restaurant and emerged shortly after with a box wrapped in a blue cloth. They sat down at a stone table.
“What is it?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked.
“It’s a gift for Xiaoxi, I guess? Ta-da! It’s something I made.” Xia Zhibai unfolded the cloth, revealing an oval-shaped lunchbox.
She pushed the lunchbox towards Ruo Xiaoxi, letting her open it.
Ruo Xiaoxi carefully lifted the lid to reveal an omurice, lovingly prepared by Xia Zhibai. Since she hadn’t been able to eat it yesterday, Xia Zhibai had made another one this morning.
“After I made it, I asked the restaurant owner to keep it in her warming box. I’ve known her for a while. I wanted to give it to you fresh.”
“Oh, I am a little hungry after walking around for so long.” This was a lie. Ruo Xiaoxi had little appetite for human food, and she was currently full.
She could enjoy the taste of these foods, but they couldn’t satisfy her hunger.
Xia Zhibai watched her expectantly. “If you’re hungry, then eat up. I’m not a great cook, but my omurice is pretty good. My mom taught me how to make it. It’s the only dish she taught me, and I’ve been practicing ever since, gradually mastering the technique.”
Ruo Xiaoxi looked down at the omurice, her name written on it in ketchup.
The last stroke of the ‘i’ was dotted with a heart.
Honestly, it looked more like a work of art, making Ruo Xiaoxi hesitant to eat it. Taking a bite from anywhere would ruin the overall aesthetic.
Sister Xia, so thoughtful… Ruo Xiaoxi was genuinely surprised.
“Then… Itadakimasu.”
Ruo Xiaoxi picked up the spoon from the cloth, carefully scooped up a bite of omurice, and brought it to her mouth, her other hand delicately supporting her chin, the picture of ladylike grace.
When the spoon left her lips, it was spotless.
“How is it? Is it okay… I think it would taste better if I made it fresh for you next time,” Xia Zhibai asked nervously.
Ruo Xiaoxi chewed thoughtfully, her pale throat bobbing as she swallowed.
“It’s delicious.”
“That’s good, I’m glad you like it.”
“Sister Xia, you should try some too.”
“Me? No, no, you eat it. It’s something I made, and I’ve already had plenty.”
“Try some, it’s really good.” Ruo Xiaoxi held the spoon to Xia Zhibai’s lips. Xia Zhibai, though slightly embarrassed, opened her mouth and accepted the bite.
To Xia Zhibai, the omurice she made today tasted even better than usual.
“Hee hee, one more bite.” Ruo Xiaoxi held her cheek with one hand and fed Xia Zhibai with the other, making her blush.
The two beautiful girls created a heartwarming, picturesque scene.
“Sister Xia, you’re so cute when you’re being fed. You look so sweet,” Ruo Xiaoxi said with a teasing smile.
“Wh-what are you saying! Alright, alright, eat your own food, I made it for you.”
“Speaking of gifts, I actually have one for Sister Xia too. It’s not much, but I hope you’ll accept it.”
“A gift for me?” Xia Zhibai was pleasantly surprised.
“Mm-hmm.” Ruo Xiaoxi opened her bag and took out a small plastic bag containing a clay figurine, a crude attempt at sculpting Xia Zhibai’s likeness.
Ruo Xiaoxi had made it in her spare time while playing with clay at home. Although she called it a casual project, she had put her heart into it, spending two days to complete it.
“Mmm… it doesn’t look very good,” Ruo Xiaoxi said apologetically, holding the figurine in her hands. It was important to reciprocate gifts; she understood the principle of give and take.
Since she didn’t have anything valuable to give, she decided to offer a small, heartfelt gift instead.
Xia Zhibai accepted the clay figurine, examining it closely. After a long pause, she asked hesitantly, “Is this me?”
“Ah! Can’t you tell? I can’t sculpt with the precision of a professional figure maker. This is the best I could do. If you don’t mind… you can put it on your bookshelf as a little trinket…”
Xia Zhibai looked at the figurine’s hair and clothes, meticulously carved with a small tool. It must have taken a lot of time, making the gift all the more precious.
“That’s not what I meant, I’m just surprised. I didn’t expect Xiaoxi to make me a clay figurine.”
Oh, naive Sister Xia, there’s no need to be so touched.
Because I actually make clay figurines for other girls too, not just you. If there’s any difference, it’s that I put a little more effort into yours.
But Ruo Xiaoxi kept this to herself, not telling Xia Zhibai about the other figurines.
Of course she wouldn’t tell her. Was she asking to be punished?
Seeing Xia Zhibai’s surprised and delighted expression, Ruo Xiaoxi felt happy, even though the figurine wasn’t very well-made.
The little green tea might be mischievous and flirty, but she treated her older sisters the best!
“Ruo Xiaoxi, where do you want to go next?”
“Me? With such a beautiful older sister like you by my side, I’ll have fun anywhere!”
“Oh? Beautiful older sister? Tell me more.”
“Hee hee, when I first saw Sister Xia, you were so beautiful it made me blush.”
“Hmph, little minx. You’re so good at saying sweet things. Tell me more, I like hearing it.” Xia Zhibai knew she was being flattered, but she enjoyed it nonetheless.
But if she truly fell into this honey trap, dating Ruo Xiaoxi would bring her to tears. Ruo Xiaoxi might have just returned from another girl’s arms and would be wiping away her tears, asking what was wrong.
Having already shared a sweet moment with Sister Xia, she needed to find a way to escape her grasp, to deny everything after getting what she wanted!
She would lift her skirt, feigning ignorance, and with her toes pointed delicately, elegantly lift the hem of her dress, curtsy slightly, and say goodbye, her eyes sparkling with innocent mischief, silently telling her—
Give up, I’m a woman you’ll never get!
Even her exit had to be graceful and composed; after all, she was a refined young lady.
