35. How Lewd, Wanting a Sisterly Donburi!
“Oh~ There’s a restaurant so close to home, nice.”
“And the prices here are much cheaper. The same dishes would cost twice as much downtown. Even a plate of spicy shredded cabbage is seven or eight yuan.”
“Big city prices are so high,” Ruo Tianxin sighed.
It was clear that the buildings in Ruo Xiaoxi’s neighborhood were shorter than those in the newer parts of the city. This was an older residential area, while the newer buildings were mostly offices and commercial properties.
It was very difficult for residents here to buy property in the newer areas. Firstly, they lacked the savings, and secondly, the units were quickly snatched up by wealthier buyers.
Ruo Xiaoxi’s encounter with Xia Zhibai had been a coincidence. One from a humble, old neighborhood, the other a wealthy heiress. The only way to mingle with such people was through academic excellence.
That’s why Xia Zhibai had initially suspected Ruo Xiaoxi of being a gold digger. In a way, it was a sad reality.
“What do you want to eat? It’s on me,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, pointing to the menu on the wall.
“Then… I’ll have a bowl of mixed noodles.”
“Same as always. Mixed noodles everywhere we go. Don’t you get tired of it?”
The two sisters sat down at a table in the corner of the restaurant, discussing their parents. Ruo Tianxin had come to check on her brother and see how he was doing.
She also relayed their parents’ messages, worried he might be homesick. She had brought some homemade pastries and reminded him to call home more often.
“Mom and Dad are worried about you, living alone in a big city with no relatives nearby. They’re afraid you’ll run into bad people. They said if it were me, they wouldn’t let me live alone.”
“I see…” But now that she was a girl, she definitely couldn’t tell her parents; they would be worried sick. I can protect myself.
“You got into such a good high school. If you study hard, top universities are guaranteed. They’re afraid to call too often because they think you’re busy with your studies.”
Ruo Tianxin glanced at Ruo Xiaoxi. “But you seem to be doing quite well, playing games and chatting with older sisters online. This should put Mom and Dad at ease.”
A parent’s love knows no bounds. Their parents had high hopes for them and worried constantly. Hearing her sister’s words, Ruo Xiaoxi felt a pang of guilt.
She would have her sister reassure their parents when she returned home. She would tell them she had adapted to the city life and was doing great, not to worry.
“Alright, I’ve delivered Mom and Dad’s message, and the food is in your room. Changing the subject, so, bro… ahem, sister, now that you’re a girl living alone, you should find a friend to look after each other.”
Seemingly remembering they were in public, Ruo Tianxin awkwardly corrected herself. Calling a girl “brother” in public would definitely attract strange looks.
Ruo Xiaoxi nodded vigorously in agreement.
Yes, yes, she needed more friends; otherwise, she wouldn’t have enough blood to drink. She gave her older sisters love and happiness; in return, she asked for sustenance. It was a fair trade.
She must be the kindest vampire in the world, though she didn’t know if there were any others here.
“So, so, find a girlfriend!” Ruo Tianxin said excitedly, seeing her brother nod, assuming he shared her thoughts. Having a companion would make all the difference.
“No, no, if I have a girlfriend, then… then I can only date one person.”
“…” Ruo Tianxin paused, then asked cautiously, “How many girls do you want to date!? You little player!”
“Anyway… I would never cheat!”
“Is that the point!? So, that’s why you date girls but don’t commit? You’re so fickle! Older sisters will punish you for being so naughty.”
Ruo Xiaoxi spoke with such self-righteousness that Ruo Tianxin was speechless. Little did she know, Ruo Xiaoxi was already the “good little sister” of many older sisters.
No, I have to find her a girlfriend, someone to tame her.
“How about… if you really don’t want a girlfriend, you could just settle for me? Now that you’re so cute, I’m totally open to it!” Ruo Tianxin suggested, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
“How lewd, Tianxin, wanting a sisterly donburi! Hmph, you’re not in my league. Come back in eight hundred years.”
“So arrogant!? I can’t stand this! Just wait until we get home, I’ll take you down in a minute! You’re just a weak little girl with skinny arms and legs! I could spank you without any resistance!” Ruo Tianxin tapped her chopsticks on the table.
How dare you talk back like that after turning into a weak little loli! Have you never experienced the harsh realities of life? You clearly don’t understand your place.
“A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its burrow!” Ruo Xiaoxi declared.
“Keep the good stuff in the family!” Ruo Tianxin immediately retorted.
How dare she use my logic against me! Ruo Xiaoxi, unable to outwit her younger sister, who was still in her last year of compulsory education, felt a deep sense of shame. The verbal sparring ended; the physical battle began.
She stretched out her leg to kick her sister, but stopped mid-kick.
Ruo Xiaoxi froze, in disbelief.
Her little foot, in its white sneaker, like a kitten’s tentative paw, swung uselessly in the air. Her loli legs kicked and kicked, connecting with nothing but air. Embarrassed, she quickly withdrew her foot under the table…
Okay, the physical battle is over, and Tianxin was defeated without even putting up a fight.
She unilaterally declared herself the winner, a landslide victory.
At a nearby table, a middle-aged man, enjoying his meal, glanced at the two pretty sisters, finding them pleasant to look at while he ate, casually eavesdropping on their conversation.
After a while, Ruo Tianxin realized she had already started eating her noodles, while Ruo Xiaoxi’s bowl remained empty. She hadn’t ordered anything, just watching her sister eat.
“Aren’t you eating?”
“I’ll eat after you’re done.”
“What do you mean?”
“Someone is a delicious little breadwinner and doesn’t even know it. I won’t say who,” Ruo Xiaoxi said pointedly. Once Ruo Tianxin was full, it would be her turn to be eaten.
The man’s chopsticks slowed down as he watched them, chewing slowly.
Ruo Tianxin wasn’t sure what her blood tasted like. She wasn’t against it, but she hesitated. “Will it hurt? I… I’ve never done this before.”
Being bitten by a vampire, her neck would be pierced by fangs, right? What would it feel like…
It sounds kind of scary.
What’s… going on? The man overheard their conversation and was puzzled. Did I, a filthy adult, misunderstand something?
But then he heard Ruo Xiaoxi say:
“It won’t hurt, it won’t hurt, I’m easy to satisfy. And it should feel quite pleasant. It’s important to give something back, after all.”
“Is that so… then, then we can try it later. If it hurts too much, I’ll tell you to stop, and you have to stop.”
The conversation was shocking. The man froze, chopsticks in hand, forgetting to eat, his food turning to ash in his mouth. After a moment of deep contemplation, he sighed and shook his head.
“Young girls these days, so open-minded, discussing anything and everything in public.”
“…” Ruo Xiaoxi and Ruo Tianxin, hearing his comment, looked at each other and realized how inappropriate their conversation had been.
Both girls blushed crimson.
Ruo Tianxin quickly finished her noodles, then grabbed Ruo Xiaoxi’s hand and dragged her out of the restaurant, running until they reached a crosswalk, where they finally stopped, panting.
“It’s all your fault! What were you saying? People misunderstood…” Ruo Tianxin muttered, her face still red.
“Your fault,” Ruo Xiaoxi retorted softly, looking away.
“Your fault!”
“Your fault!”
“Your fault, your fault!”
