38. I Forbid You From Ranking Love!
That night, there were no winners.
The sisters had indulged in a daring escapade.
If anything, Ruo Xiaoxi had profited slightly. At least her sister had given her blood, ensuring she wouldn’t go hungry for a few days. Though, her sister’s blood tasted a bit different.
It made her feel slightly lightheaded, dreamy, and relaxed. She had slept soundly.
The next morning, Ruo Tianxin touched her neck, feeling a band-aid.
There was no pain at all.
Apparently, when a vampire bit someone, their fangs released a hormone that numbed the pain and accelerated healing.
So magical… Not as scary as I thought. They don’t drain you dry in one go.
Ruo Xiaoxi woke up later than usual.
Opening her eyes, she saw her sister sitting by the bed, putting on striped knee-high socks, the bands snapping against her thighs.
Whenever her sister dressed like this, it usually meant she was going out.
“Mmm… Tianxin, where are you going?” Ruo Xiaoxi mumbled sleepily.
“Eh, you’re awake? I’m not going anywhere.” Seeing Ruo Xiaoxi awake, Ruo Tianxin crawled back onto the bed, looking down at the sleepy little cutie, her eyes still half-closed.
She gently poked Ruo Xiaoxi’s hand, and she instinctively grasped it, a sleepy little loli.
“Mmm, I slept so well.“
“Yeah, slept straight through till ten. How could you not..sleep well? Hee hee, so… brother, we’re good sisters now, ehehehe.”
“Eh, wh—” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes snapped open, a sudden realization dawning on her.
“Hee hee, did you enjoy the little toy?” Ruo Tianxin asked, resting her chin on her hands, her lower body still dangling off the bed, her eyebrows curved in amusement, eager to hear Ruo Xiaoxi’s thoughts.
She had brought it out of curiosity, wanting her brother, now sister, to experience it, to understand what it was like to be a girl.
“Oh, and you’re not allowed to tell Mom and Dad. We’re in the same boat now, sister. And I’m still the cute and innocent little sister.”
“You’re not innocent at all. You’re a naughty little sister,” Ruo Xiaoxi mumbled, hiding her blushing face in the covers.
“I am innocent! You have to believe me! I’m a pure and innocent little sister! And I shared my deepest, darkest secret with you, aren’t you grateful?”
Taking advantage and acting innocent. Ruo Xiaoxi thought her sister was quite skilled, worthy of being her sister! But despite the teasing, their bond felt strangely strengthened.
After all, this was a secret shared only between sisters, a newfound understanding of… certain things.
What else can I teach my brother? As a girl of many years, Ruo Tianxin felt a sense of responsibility to impart her feminine wisdom.
“Do you want me to teach you some basic makeup techniques?”
“No need… I’ll learn myself.”
“How about fashion? Clothes make the man—or woman, in this case. Looking good can…”
“I’m good at fashion too…”
“Then, then, then, I can teach you how to act cute. Girls should be appropriately delicate and…”
“Like this?”
Ruo Xiaoxi curled up slightly, pulling down her shirt to reveal a snow-white shoulder, gazing at her sister with wide, innocent eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and allure.
Whoa! What kind of Power is this!?
A jolt went through Ruo Tianxin, as if struck by Cupid’s arrow.
When Ruo Xiaoxi got out of bed, she found her sister sprawled face down on the floor, looking like a pale, lifeless statue, shrouded in a gloomy aura.
No way, I actually lost the cuteness battle to my brother? How is that possible!
Have my years of being a girl been for nothing!?
She had initially imagined her brother, as a girl, would be clumsy and awkward, providing her with endless amusement as she dispensed her feminine wisdom.
But he was already so skilled!
Well, there’s nothing left to teach you.
Congratulations on your graduation. You are now a qualified girl.
Wait… there is something!
Ruo Tianxin noticed Ruo Xiaoxi’s room, still sparsely decorated in cool tones. It didn’t suit such a cute girl. Something was missing.
That’s right, it lacks that cute, girly touch!
“Bro, I think your room needs a makeover.”
“What kind of makeover?”
“Everything else can stay, but the bedroom needs to be more feminine. Like… how about some pink and white wallpaper? And more plushies on the bed?”
“I already bought bunny slippers…” Ruo Xiaoxi had tried to make her home more… her.
“That’s not enough. How about we decorate it like my room? I have a little octopus plushie; it’s great for punching when I’m stressed.”
“You heartless woman! So that’s why I saw you sitting on your bed, going crazy. You were beating up your little octopus! How could you? You only care about yourself.”
“You’re right. But Uruguay has a population of 3.457 million, while Australia has 47 million kangaroos. If the kangaroos decided to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan would have to fight 14 kangaroos. You don’t know, you don’t care, you only care about yourself.”
Ruo Tianxin looked at her disdainfully, continuing the running joke. This was the downside of having a sister close in age; they could always counter each other’s arguments. It was so annoying.
“Stop being so self-righteous, or I’ll hit you.” Ruo Tianxin rolled up her sleeves, and Ruo Xiaoxi quickly shut her mouth, playing the quiet, well-behaved beauty.
Nothing was more infuriating than a self-righteous green tea.
Ruo Xiaoxi understood. She would use this to annoy her sister from now on.

Then she would just wait and see if Ruo Tianxin would actually hit her.
“Get up and get ready, we’re going shopping for wallpaper.”
“Mmm… no can do. I have plans with Nuonuo. I stood her up last time, so I’m making it up to her today… want to come?”
“Go on a date with Nuonuo? That would be perfect—but wouldn’t I be a third wheel?”
“No, hmph, because you’re both my wi—wi—” Ruo Xiaoxi puffed out her chest, a smug, provocative look on her face, but then stopped mid-sentence, suddenly embarrassed in front of her sister. She couldn’t say the word.
“We’re just hanging out, not really a date, I guess.”
Ruo Xiaoxi’s shoulders slumped, and she sat back down on the bed, fiddling with the ears of a square pillow. “Anyway, the other older sister is also…”
Xia Zhibai had messaged her last night saying she was busy.
Since Sister Xia didn’t have time for her, it was okay to hang out with other pretty older sisters, right?
She would put on a pretty dress and be their good little sister.
Who is this Xia Zhibai anyway? I don’t remember. She’s so clingy, it’s annoying~
Denial version 2.0. Ruo Xiaoxi selectively forgot about Xia Zhibai, shamelessly declaring in her heart, Xiao Nuonuo is the only one for me!
Ruo Tianxin put her hands on her hips. “How many ‘good older sisters’ do you have? Who do you like the most?”
“What? How can you accuse me of such things! I forbid you from ranking love! Do you know why literature has no champion, while martial arts does? Because literature is about emotions, and love cannot be measured!”
Ruo Xiaoxi declared righteously, finishing with a proud humph.
It sounded logical, but for some reason, seeing her smug expression made Ruo Tianxin want to spank her.
That annoying, pretty mouth of hers, spouting such nonsense.
…Right, she can’t be in two places at once. She can only be with one person.
This time, I’ll be with my favorite Xiao Nuonuo, and next time, I’ll be with my favorite Sister Xia.
Time to play!
