24. Sister Ruo, Wait for Me to Grow Up
“Eh? Really?”
“Yes! Sister Ruo seems so… mature and beautiful. You’re my idol! I want to be as pretty as you!” Luo Xiao Ke said longingly.
She probably meant “womanly”?
“Haha, so cute. Then you need to grow up quickly. Make sure you eat properly; don’t worry your mom. I sometimes hear her calling you for dinner from the hallway.”
“Ah… B-because I’m really not hungry…”
“Eat fewer snacks, otherwise… this won’t grow big, you know?” Ruo Xiaoxi poked Luo Xiao Ke’s flat chest with a teasing yet admonishing smile.
“O-okay, Sister Ruo, I understand. I won’t argue with Mom next time…”
“Good girl~” Ruo Xiaoxi patted her head and hugged her, her soft breasts pressing against Luo Xiao Ke’s face, making her blush.
I’ve decided, when I grow up, I’ll bury Sister Ruo in my chest too!
Luo Xiao Ke was an only child, the sole daughter of her parents.
She had always been alone, envious of those with older siblings, sometimes feeling lonely, navigating the path of adolescence by herself.
As she grew older, she longed for an older sister’s companionship. Ruo Xiaoxi, so gentle and kind, was the ideal older sister in her mind. She couldn’t help but want to be close to her.
And Ruo Xiaoxi had promised that if she had any worries she couldn’t share with her parents, she could come to her, like having a crush on a boy in class, or… girl things?
Although Ruo Xiaoxi herself was still learning about those.
Anyway, if Luo Xiao Ke wanted to learn how to dress up, Ruo Xiaoxi would teach her hairstyles and fashion! She had done her research. After all, it was about becoming more beautiful. Now that they were both girls, how could they not strive for beauty?
“Sister Ruo, are you dating anyone? You’re so pretty, you must be very popular.”
“Dating… I guess you could say I am.”
“So cool! Sister Ruo, I heard that when people are dating, they, they kiss and hug, and they do… fun things together in their rooms. Is that true?”
“Haha, yes. Those are ways of expressing love and releasing desires to someone you like.” It feels like I’ve become a little girl’s relationship advisor.
Ruo Xiaoxi found it quite amusing.
“So, so Sister Ruo, have you… become an adult?” Luo Xiao Ke’s innocent question held a hint of anxiety.
“Ah…?” Ruo Xiaoxi hadn’t expected that question and couldn’t help but laugh.
She looked down at the naive girl, about to answer, then stopped herself, simply smiling and patting her head. “Little girls shouldn’t know so much.”
Luo Xiao Ke looked up at her, her expression changing, her lips gradually tightening, her eyebrows furrowing. Her emotions were written all over her face.
“Sister Ruo… sob, sob, sob…” Soft whimpers escaped her.
“Eh? Why are you crying, Xiao Ke?” Ruo Xiaoxi was taken aback. Tears welled up in the little girl’s eyes, and she began to cry softly.
What’s going on?
“Sob, sob, sob… I don’t know…”
“The thought of Sister Ruo having someone you like, doing adult things with them in bed, it makes me so sad, waaaah…”
Luo Xiao Ke’s cries grew louder, and she wiped her tears with her hands. Her reason for crying was so genuine that Ruo Xiaoxi was worried her mother would rush down, thinking she was bullying her.
“Huh… so that’s it…”
Eh? Is this something a middle schooler would think about?
Ruo Xiaoxi was slightly shocked. Are kids these days more mature? When she was that age, she only had a vague understanding, mostly gleaned from classmates.
Seeing the little girl’s clumsy expression of sadness and hearing her heartbroken cries, Ruo Xiaoxi didn’t know what to do.
“Little perv, don’t think about these things. You should focus on your studies. You’re still in middle school!” Ruo Xiaoxi said jokingly, massaging her temples.
But it didn’t seem to stop the tears, making Ruo Xiaoxi even more worried.
Girls this age couldn’t even differentiate between admiration and romantic love. It was important to guide her towards a healthy understanding of relationships and prevent any distorted perceptions.
Ruo Xiaoxi felt this was quite crucial.
“Wuwuwu, Sister Ruo has been taken away by someone else…”
“No, no, I’m still here, aren’t I? Don’t cry.” Ruo Xiaoxi wiped away her tears, both amused and exasperated. This child, perhaps… I could make soup with her.
She didn’t know how to comfort Luo Xiao Ke. This was a perfectly normal situation.
“Wuwuwu, I like Sister Ruo too. I don’t want you to be taken away…”
“Alright, alright, don’t be silly. Whether I’m dating or not, I’m still your Sister Ruo, aren’t I? You don’t even understand what liking someone means.”
“But, but…” Luo Xiao Ke couldn’t articulate her feelings, but she was heartbroken.
“How about this, when you’re a little older, I’ll consider your feelings, okay?”
“Really…?” The little girl sniffled, looking up at her with teary eyes.
Ruo Xiaoxi wondered where her charm came from. Was she just naturally lovable?
“So, Sister Ruo, you’ll wait for me to grow up.” The little girl’s words were both innocent and touching.
“Okay~ okay, when you grow up, your feelings will definitely change. You’ll say, ‘Wow, I was so silly when I was little,’ and you’ll roll around on the floor in embarrassment!”
“Alright, go back to your mom now, don’t worry her.”
“Sister Ruo, I’m in middle school now. Don’t treat me like a little kid…”
Perhaps Ruo Xiaoxi’s words were a bit too childish; Luo Xiao Ke pouted.
After wiping away her tears, Ruo Xiaoxi wanted to give Luo Xiao Ke a gift in return for the green dates. She looked around but couldn’t find anything suitable, so she picked a flower from a vase and gave it to her.
The little girl clutched the flower, politely said goodbye, and Ruo Xiaoxi watched her go back upstairs.
“I’m pretty good with kids,” Ruo Xiaoxi thought, putting her hands on her hips with a proud hum.
But this little fool needed to keep her admiration for older sisters hidden in her heart.
She should cherish this innocent affection, because such a love would be very difficult. The object of her affection would likely find a partner first.
Whether that person was Ruo Xiaoxi or not, she should understand this reality.
Of course, she would understand when she grew up; she was still too young.
“Eh? Wait… older sister? Who’s the older sister?” Suddenly, Ruo Xiaoxi paused, lost in thought.
After a long moment of contemplation, it hit her. Oh! I’m the older sister!
I can be an older sister too!?
Even if it was only to a thirteen-year-old…
But why do I feel so proud?
