58. Straight Girls Flirting with Lesbians, Struck by Lightning

The two girls, having enjoyed their playful romp, sat down at the computer to log into the game.

Ruo Xiaoxi used her laptop, munching on a bag of chips, squeezed next to Lan Yinuo. It was time for their daily quests.

They had planned to go pet hunting together.

“Xiaoxi, if, if, I wanted to do something to you, would you… be mad?” Lan Yinuo asked tentatively as she logged in.

Ruo Xiaoxi, engrossed in her chips, her legs dangling playfully, replied casually, “No.”

“Really…? I’m serious, not like earlier, joking…”

“I can’t imagine what you could possibly do to me that I would mind,” Ruo Xiaoxi said dismissively, clearly underestimating Xiao Nuonuo, treating her like a harmless little animal.

Hmph, you underestimate me. Since you said you wouldn’t mind…

Then I’ll… do this!

Xiao Nuonuo stealthily reached behind Ruo Xiaoxi, gently placing her hand on her waist, then slowly sliding it upwards, intending to… grasp something…

The thought itself made her heart race and her cheeks flush.

Didn’t you say they were big? Let me see…

Just how curvy are Xiaoxi’s… assets?

“Hmm?” Ruo Xiaoxi glanced at her, typing away at her keyboard.

But she pretended not to notice, letting Xiao Nuonuo think her stealthy maneuver was going unnoticed.

Just as she was about to make her move, the door opened, and her mother walked in, carrying a plate of fruit. “Here, have some fruit. These green dates are fresh and crisp.”

“Waaaah!” Lan Yinuo quickly withdrew her hand, startled.

Why did Mom come in now!? I almost… I almost had them!

Such a rare opportunity to counterattack Xiaoxi!

Ruo Xiaoxi suppressed a giggle. She had seen everything but said nothing, finding Xiao Nuonuo’s flustered reaction incredibly cute. Teasing her had become a source of amusement.

“Thank you, Auntie,” Ruo Xiaoxi said politely, taking the plate.

Before her mother entered, she had quickly adjusted her posture and put her legs down, resuming her well-behaved persona. Xiao Nuonuo, too focused on her mission, hadn’t heard her mother approaching.

“Mom! Knock before you come in!” Xiao Nuonuo said, pouting.

“Oh, I forgot. Sorry, sorry.” Her mother stepped back out, closed the door, and knocked. “Miss Yinuo, may I come in?”

“Hmph… remember next time. You scared me.”

Honestly, I was in the middle of something with Xiaoxi! Don’t interrupt!

Ruo Xiaoxi took a bite of a pear, watching the amusing mother-daughter interaction. Like mother, like daughter; Xiao Nuonuo’s personality must have come from her mom.

“By the way, these green dates are from Xiao Ke’s family. They always give us fruit during harvest season. You should visit Xiao Ke sometime and help her with her homework.”

“Okay… I will. Isn’t Xiao Ke starting middle school soon?”

“Yes, she’s a hard-working student. It’s not easy for her, living with just her mother. Remember to visit her sometime,” her mother reminded her.

“Okay… I will… Mom, where’s Dad?”

“He’s working late tonight. You two go to bed early.”

“Okay…” Lan Yinuo nodded, then, noticing her mother still lingering at the door, got up and gently pushed her out. “Okay, okay, you can go now. We’re going to play games.”

“Can’t I play with you?”

“No! It’s embarrassing with adults around!”

“Sigh, my daughter is all grown up, doesn’t need her mother anymore.”

“Don’t say that…” Lan Yinuo sighed, surprised her mother was being so clingy. She hugged her and said, “It’s okay, I’m playing with my friend.”

“Remember to go to bed early, and take a shower later. Let me know if you need anything.”

After replenishing her daughter’s emotional energy, her mother smiled and left the room.

When Lan Yinuo returned, Ruo Xiaoxi was giggling, covering her mouth.

“What, what are you laughing at?” Lan Yinuo asked, rolling up her sleeves. Only you are allowed to have fun?

“Nothing, your family is so funny.” Seeing Xiao Nuonuo’s threatening gesture, Ruo Xiaoxi quickly composed herself. “So, who’s this Xiao Ke you were talking about?”

“Oh, she’s my cousin, Luo Xiao Ke. She’s just starting middle school.”

“Luo, Luo Xiao Ke!?”

“Yes, we should visit her sometime. What? Do you know her, Xiaoxi?”

“Nothing…” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes widened. Wasn’t that the little girl who lived upstairs, the one who always brought her green dates? So, her family owned a fruit stand?

And she was Xiao Nuonuo’s cousin!? What a small world.

Lan Yinuo didn’t know where Ruo Xiaoxi lived. If she knew she lived right below her cousin, she would be shocked…

“Xiaoxi, you go take a shower first. I’ll find you some clothes.”

“Don’t we shower together?”

“Eek!? What, what are you saying!? Mom, Mom is home!” Lan Yinuo blushed furiously.

“So, it’s okay when your mom isn’t home?”

“Th-that’s not what I meant!” Xiao Nuonuo was shy and not ready for that level of intimacy, even with another girl. Showing her body…

Lan Yinuo sat back down, her movements slowing down, her lips pressed together, as if wanting to say something. Every moment was precious.

She hadn’t realized it before, but being with the person she liked filled her with both happiness and anxiety.

This might be her only chance to confess her feelings to Ruo Xiaoxi. The next time they met would probably be when school started in half a month.

Confessions were best done face-to-face…

I’m so nervous… but I want to tell her how much I like her! Lan Yinuo nudged Ruo Xiaoxi, about to speak, but then saw her engrossed in the game.

I have a million things to complain about when it comes to Ruo Xiaoxi.

Here I am, full of romantic feelings, and she’s just playing games. It seemed she had to take the initiative. Xiao Tianxin had said their relationship was already close enough.

All she had to do was be a little more proactive.

Lan Yinuo took a deep breath, determined to confess. She wouldn’t let shyness or pride get in the way.

If you like someone, just say it! Don’t wait until it’s too late and regret it! Boldly pursuing love is the most dazzling!

Lan Yinuo mentally psyched herself up.

“Xiaoxi!”

“Ah? What is it?” Ruo Xiaoxi looked at her.

“There’s something I… I want to ask you.”

“What is it? You sound so serious.”

“It’s just…” Lan Yinuo swallowed nervously, fidgeting with her fingers. “Do you… like girls? I mean, your sexual orientation…”

Although Xiaoxi liking girls seemed obvious, it was better to be safe than sorry. Ruo Xiaoxi felt different from other girls, everything about her pointed towards… this.

Would a straight girl act so flirtatious with another girl? It was the strongest hint yet.

“Ah? Me? I’m not a lesbian.”

—And with that one sentence, Lan Yinuo’s heart sank.

“Ah?” She froze, staring at Ruo Xiaoxi in disbelief, her eyes widening, tears welling up.

It’s over… there’s no hope… Xiaoxi isn’t even…

“Then why, why did you flirt with me!?” Lan Yinuo exclaimed, her fists clenching.

“Ahhh?” Ruo Xiaoxi, seeing Xiao Nuonuo’s teary-eyed, heartbroken expression, quickly backpedaled. “No, no, I was just kidding, of course I’m…”

But Xiao Nuonuo, feeling betrayed, had already erupted.

Her voice trembling, her fists clenched, she closed her eyes and yelled, “You made me fall for you, and now you tell me this!?”

“Straight girls flirting with lesbians, struck by lightning!!!—Wait, what did you say?”

57. It’s the Milk-Scented Steamed Bun from the Breakfast Shop Downstairs!

“Yinuo, you’re back late. I was about to call you.”

“Mmm, I was out a bit late, but it’s only a little past eight.”

The doorknob clicked, and a sophisticated-looking woman, surprisingly youthful, opened the door. She looked like she was in her late twenties.

Of course, she couldn’t actually be in her twenties, or Xiao Nuonuo’s dad would be in trouble!

“Hello, Auntie!” As the door opened, Ruo Xiaoxi bowed politely, her hands clasped demurely in front of her, holding her small bag.

Xiao Nuonuo’s mother paused when she saw Ruo Xiaoxi, then smiled warmly and nodded. “Hello, are you Yinuo’s friend?”

“Yes, I’m Xiao Nuonuo’s…”

“Mom! She’s, she’s a classmate, from high school!” Xiao Nuonuo quickly interrupted, worried Ruo Xiaoxi might blurt out “girlfriend” or something equally disastrous.

“We were out a bit late, and she lives far away, so she’s staying over tonight. Is that okay?”

“Of course, it’s fine. You’ve made a high school friend already?” Judging by her tone, Xiao Nuonuo’s mother was pleased to see her daughter making friends so quickly.

Lan Yinuo briefly explained how they met online, then discovered they lived in the same city and were even going to be classmates.

Hearing this, her mother immediately understood.

“So you’re the girl Yinuo always chats with online. I often hear you two talking. That’s such a coincidence! Welcome, welcome, come in, don’t just stand at the door.”

“Thank you, Auntie. And these are for you, some cherry tomatoes Xiao Nuonuo and I bought on the way. I hope you like them,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, offering the bag of tomatoes with a sweet smile.

“Haha, how thoughtful, thank you. You’re… Ruo Xiaoxi?”

This girl seems nice.

Xiao Nuonuo’s mother was immediately impressed by the polite and well-mannered girl. And she was so pretty too.

It was reassuring to know her daughter had such a good friend.

“Yes, you can call me Xiaoxi, Auntie. I’m not shy, you can treat me like your own daughter~ And I can be a bit boisterous, so please let me know if I disturb you.”

“It’s good to be cheerful and outgoing! You can help Yinuo come out of her shell. She’s so introverted, I’m always worried she’ll be lonely at school, unable to make friends. In middle school, she would just sit alone…”

“Mom…” Xiao Nuonuo tugged at her mother’s hand, stopping her.

Xiaoxi is a guest; don’t tell her embarrassing stories from my past. And she had made a friend in high school, it was different from middle school.

“Alright, alright,” her mother said, patting her head.

“We’ll be in my room,” Lan Yinuo said, taking Ruo Xiaoxi’s hand and leading her to her bedroom. As they walked, Ruo Xiaoxi whispered,

“Xiao Nuonuo, your mom looks so young.”

Their mother smiled, overhearing the compliment. Young girls these days are so sweet.

Having passed the mother’s inspection with flying colors, Ruo Xiaoxi was granted permission to stay the night. As soon as they entered the room, Lan Yinuo closed the door and turned on the light.

It wasn’t Ruo Xiaoxi’s first time in her room. The last time, when her parents were out, they had played games together. Xiao Nuonuo’s room had many colorful foam floor mats.

The kind with numbers on them, soft and clean. They had played Monopoly on the floor.

Lan Yinuo tossed her small shoulder bag onto a chair and sighed. “Whew… Ruo Xiaoxi! Did you use some kind of magic to charm my mom?”

“Eh? Did I?” Ruo Xiaoxi sat down on the floor, legs crossed, and playfully rocked back and forth, holding her ankles. “I’m just naturally well-behaved. Parents like well-behaved children.”

“So boastful. You weren’t very well-behaved on our… d-date today…” Lan Yinuo lowered her voice, self-conscious about the word “date.”

It would be bad if her mom overheard.

“Hmm…?” Ruo Xiaoxi looked up. Xiao Nuonuo was looking at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, her arms crossed, as if saying, You’re in my room now, there’s no escape~

“Xiao Nuonuo, now that you’ve finally tricked me into coming to your room, what are you going to do to me?”

Ruo Xiaoxi, turning the tables, leaned forward, one hand on the floor, a playful challenge in her eyes, not a hint of fear, but rather, anticipation!

“Wh-what? Do you want me to do something to you?”

“No, I’m just wondering if you invited me all the way here just to play games with you,” Ruo Xiaoxi asked innocently, a finger pressed to her cheek.

“Y-yes, that’s right! We were out all day, I haven’t done my dailies yet. Come on, let’s log in! I have a laptop, you can use the desktop if you want, or…”

Lan Yinuo said, feigning composure, trying to hide her nervousness and excitement.

“What I mean is—”

Ruo Xiaoxi shrugged, feigning shyness, one shoulder peeking out from her shirt, her words laced with suggestive undertones as she nibbled on a strap. “Now that I’m here, aren’t you going to… do anything to me~?”

“Ahhh! Where did this frustrated little wife come from!? Keep tempting me, and I might just take you up on that offer!” Xiao Nuonuo pounced, pinning Ruo Xiaoxi to the floor.

“Take me up on what!? I didn’t know you had it in you!”

“You think I’m weak, don’t you!? This is my room now, things are different here. You can’t act so smug in my territory!”

Lan Yinuo pinned her wrists down, keeping her from moving. Ruo Xiaoxi’s feet kicked uselessly in the air as the two girls wrestled playfully.

Damn it, I can’t even beat Xiao Nuonuo! I can’t even turn her over! My pride as a vampire princess has been deeply wounded. I must reclaim my honor tonight by sucking her dry!

“I’ll get you, you little rascal!”

“Damn it, I’m so weak! Time for my ultimate move: tickles!”

“Yaaah, hahaha… that’s cheating! Don’t think you’re the only one who can tickle! I’ll get your armpits!” Lan Yinuo reached for Ruo Xiaoxi’s arms, which were immediately clamped shut.

It was clear Ruo Xiaoxi was also ticklish. She giggled uncontrollably, squirming on the floor, her legs wrapping around Lan Yinuo’s waist in a desperate attempt to defend herself.

“Ah…! Wait, I’m going to fall on you!” Lan Yinuo, pulled off balance, landed on top of Ruo Xiaoxi.

Ruo Xiaoxi felt something soft pressing against her face, her hands flailing in the air.

“This texture and scent… it’s the milk-scented steamed bun from the breakfast shop downstairs!”

“W-what are you talking about…? Ah, Xiaoxi!! You little…!!!” Lan Yinuo’s face turned crimson. She punched Ruo Xiaoxi’s chest, flustered and embarrassed.

56. Just Look at the Size of Xiao Xi’s Bra!

Why does everything Xiaoxi says sound so suggestive…?

Lan Yinuo glanced at her, exasperated yet not entirely displeased. It made her heart race, a spicy seasoning in their budding romance, keeping things exciting.

Is this what a love master is like!?

Xiaoxi, so outgoing and cheerful, must be very popular and have many friends. She had said she wasn’t interested in boys, so… she must have dated many girls, right?

Otherwise, Lan Yinuo couldn’t believe such a treasure of a girl would be available for her to discover. Ruo Xiaoxi must have a wealth of romantic experience, but in contrast…

Lan Yinuo had never been in a relationship, with either a boy or a girl. Actually, she had initially thought dating a girl was a bit strange…

But after meeting Ruo Xiaoxi, she realized that soft, sweet-smelling girls were also wonderful.

Could it be… that I’ve been manipulated by the cunning Ruo Xiaoxi and turned into… this!?

Anyway, handsome boys no longer held any appeal. Ruo Xiaoxi, this wicked woman, had turned her gay, and she would be held responsible for whatever happened next!

Either she turned her straight again, or… or they became a couple…

“Xiao Nuonuo, stop spacing out! Help me think of a good gift for your parents,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, snapping Lan Yinuo out of her reverie by gently tapping her cheek with her ahoge.

Lan Yinuo blinked, like a student suddenly called on in class, looking around in confusion before her gaze settled on Ruo Xiaoxi.

“A gift?” she repeated, as if just registering the word.

“Yes, your parents are home. I should bring something when I visit, shouldn’t I?”

“No, no, it’s too much trouble. Just treat it like a friend coming over. Gifts are…” Lan Yinuo fidgeted with her hands. “It would make it seem like we’re… something…”

“What are you thinking, silly? Meeting parents is just meeting parents. I’m not talking about bringing extravagant gifts to try and win their favor.”

“Oh, sorry, was I overthinking it?” Lan Yinuo felt a pang of shame.

“Aww~ so Xiao Nuonuo’s mind went straight to the gutter when I said I was coming to your house? It’s okay, you can fantasize about me all you want, I don’t mind~”

“I wasn’t!” Xiao Nuonuo huffed, turning her head away.

“Then what kind of fruit do your parents like?” While empty-handed wouldn’t be a problem, after all, they were still kids in their parents’ eyes, and wouldn’t be expected to bring anything, Ruo Xiaoxi, living alone in a new city, was always careful and considerate.

And bringing a small gift made her feel more at ease, less awkward, especially when facing adults. She wouldn’t know what to do with her hands otherwise.

After getting off the high-speed train and walking towards Xiao Nuonuo’s neighborhood, they stopped at a fruit stand and bought a bag of cherry tomatoes, her parents’ favorite.

Xiao Nuonuo lived in a beautiful, gated community. Ruo Xiaoxi looked up at the tall buildings, the starry sky like a bowl overturned above them.

Such a fancy complex, the annual property fees must be more than my rent, Ruo Xiaoxi thought, suspecting Xiao Nuonuo was a secret rich girl.

Then she remembered how Xiao Nuonuo casually bought expensive outfits for her game character, while she, too frugal to spend money, was still wearing the default quest gear.

City folks are so rich, a country bumpkin’s perspective.jpg

Thankfully, vampires didn’t have food expenses. She could use that money to buy pretty dresses, making herself more appealing.

“Wait, wait a minute,” Ruo Xiaoxi suddenly stopped as they approached Xiao Nuonuo’s building.

Xiao Nuonuo turned around, confused, still holding onto her sleeve. Her eyes seemed to say, You’re already here, don’t even think about running away.

“My clothes… are they too revealing?”

“Clothes…?” Lan Yinuo looked down at Ruo Xiaoxi’s outfit and immediately understood her hesitation. Her outfit was a bit sexy, or rather, a subtle allure hidden beneath a veneer of innocence.

Who told you to wear a black bra under a white shirt?

So good at seducing girls, but too shy to meet my parents, huh?

“It’s fine, my parents won’t mind. And I’ll drag you to the bathroom for a shower as soon as we get home and give you my clothes to wear.”

“Okay, I guess…” Ruo Xiaoxi nodded.

“But you have to promise me one thing.”

“What?”

“Let me see your bra when you take your clothes off.”

“W-what are you planning to do with my bra!?” Ruo Xiaoxi clutched her chest and took a step back, creating distance—

That made Xiao Nuonuo flustered. She pulled Ruo Xiaoxi back. “I don’t have any weird fetishes! I just want to see the size…”

“Don’t look, I’m afraid it will be too much for you.”

“Really? Is it that big? You’re not… a C-cup, are you?” Xiao Nuonuo estimated a B-cup at least, maybe a B+?

“I’ll tell you later,” Ruo Xiaoxi said teasingly, sticking out her tongue.

They reached the door, and Xiao Nuonuo rang the doorbell.

“Mom, I’m home.”

“Um, I brought a girl home…”

Ruo Xiaoxi gave her a look, and Xiao Nuonuo, realizing her mistake, quickly corrected herself. “I mean, I brought a classmate home! She’s staying over tonight!”

“You should just tell your mom you brought your lovely girlfriend home to sleep with you.”

“Go away,” Xiao Nuonuo said, pushing Ruo Xiaoxi playfully, her cheeks pink. “So eager to sleep? Then come sleep with me tonight!”

“…My teddy bear is at the dry cleaners.”

55. I Want to Take You Home to Meet My Mom

Satisfied after their barbecue feast, Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo strolled down the street, heading towards the amusement park exit. Ruo Xiaoxi chattered cheerfully, while Lan Yinuo was quiet, seemingly lost in thought.

They exited the park and boarded the bus back to the high-speed rail station.

Walking side by side along the tree-lined path, under the bright lights of the station, Ruo Xiaoxi stopped and turned to face Lan Yinuo, her hands clasped behind her back. “I had so much fun with Xiao Nuonuo today. A date with such a cute and refreshing girl is pure bliss.”

“Xiaoxi is much cuter,” Lan Yinuo replied softly.

“I don’t want this day to end, but we should head home. I’ll go buy my ticket now. Xiao Nuonuo, we’re going in opposite directions, so this is where we part ways.”

She had already booked her ticket online; they just had to go to their respective platforms.

“Mmm…”

“What’s wrong? You seem a little down.”

Seeing Lan Yinuo’s dejected expression, Ruo Xiaoxi stepped closer, taking her hand and gently cupping her cheek with the other.

“It’s nothing. We can hang out again another time. And we’ll see each other at school after the break!”

“Mmm…”

“Well, I’ll be going then. Bye.” Ruo Xiaoxi gently patted Xiao Nuonuo’s head.

But this time, Lan Yinuo didn’t say goodbye. Just as Ruo Xiaoxi turned to leave, she felt her hand being held back.

“Xiao Nuonuo…?” She stopped and looked back.

Lan Yinuo looked up at her, her grip firm, not letting go.

A gentle breeze rustled through the trees and grass, their hair and skirts swaying like waves.

The cool night air, carrying a faint floral scent, enveloped them. A falling leaf, swirling gently in the breeze, landed on Ruo Xiaoxi’s shoe.

Lan Yinuo parted her lips, her large, expressive eyes flickering shyly as she looked away, her other hand nervously clutching her skirt. “Xiaoxi, it’s getting late… how about… you come stay at my place tonight?”

“Eh? Go to Xiao Nuonuo’s house…?”

“Y-yes, my place is closer. And your clothes got wet on the flume ride; you should change… I have clothes you can borrow.”

“But the high-speed rail ride is about the same…”

Ruo Xiaoxi trailed off, a sudden realization dawning on her. She looked at Xiao Nuonuo, who looked back at her, their gazes locking, their cheeks gradually turning pink…

“Xiao Nuonuo… so bold,” Ruo Xiaoxi whispered, a playful accusation. “Trying to trick me into going home with you.”

“Eek!? No, that’s not it! I just want to introduce you to my mom… tell her I made a new friend, and that we’ll be classmates… so, um…”

Lan Yinuo stammered, her excuses sounding weak. She trailed off, flustered, unsure what to say.

She didn’t want to part ways with Xiaoxi so soon, she wanted to spend more time together, to be closer…

They could meet again, but when? She looked forward to their next date, but how was she supposed to endure the wait…?

She knew she would toss and turn in bed tonight, regretting not being more assertive.

Unconsciously, Xiao Nuonuo’s heart fluttered, filled with unfamiliar emotions. Was this agonizing longing… love?

She thought she might be falling for this adorable girl, and falling fast.

Ruo Xiaoxi blinked, surprised. She hadn’t expected the usually timid and passive Xiao Nuonuo to be so bold, inviting her home at such a opportune moment.

The clumsy girl couldn’t even take off her shoes when she was being teased, let alone take advantage of the situation. Getting her to take off her clothes would be a miracle.

But Xiao Nuonuo wanted to be more than just friends; she couldn’t just sit and wait.

Should I go or not? A mischievous smile played on Ruo Xiaoxi’s lips. Of course I should go, dinner is served! And if you invite me to your house, you should be prepared for the consequences. I’ll make you… bleed~

Her cute little fangs gleamed in the dim light.

Seeing Xiao Nuonuo’s blushing face, Ruo Xiaoxi smiled seductively, pushing out her chest, accentuating her curves, encouraging the hesitant girl.

…Ahhh, Xiaoxi is seducing me again! I want to bully her so much!

Lan Yinuo made up her mind. This is the girl I want to take home to meet my mom!

“Since Xiao Nuonuo likes me so much, I’ll accept your invitation,” Ruo Xiaoxi said with a smile. “Oh dear, I might be taken advantage of tonight~”

“W-what are you talking about?” Lan Yinuo playfully hit Ruo Xiaoxi, her face beaming. I don’t have any ulterior motives!

But if… Xiaoxi is willing…

We’ll see… Lan Yinuo had no experience, especially with girls, but even without experience, touching and cuddling shouldn’t be too difficult, right…?

Ah, I’m so nervous! Thinking about Xiaoxi… I can’t control myself! Calm down, calm down!

My imagination is running wild!

“I’ll cancel my ticket then, but can I still get a ticket to your place? I’m afraid they might be sold out,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, checking her phone.

Lan Yinuo also took out her phone. “Don’t worry, I… I bought Xiaoxi’s ticket too. I bought two…”

If Ruo Xiaoxi had refused, she would have wasted a ticket, but now… Success! Taking her home!

“Gasp! Xiao Nuonuo, you planned this all along! I’ve been tricked!” Ruo Xiaoxi suddenly understood why Xiao Nuonuo had been so quiet on the bus ride; she had been setting a trap.

So cunning! If she hadn’t willingly walked into the trap, she would have fallen for it completely. But who’s the real prey here? We’ll see.

Ruo Xiaoxi placed a hand on Xiao Nuonuo’s shoulder, took a small step back, and curtsied slightly, her heel raised delicately, a perfect blend of innocence and seduction, as alluring as a fox.

“Then please, take me home~♪”

 

54. Tease Me Again and I’ll Marry You 

Just then, the server approached, asking Lan Yinuo about the spice level for her crayfish. “Excuse me, miss, for your crayfish, would you like mild, medium, or extra spicy?”

Thankfully, it was under the table, hidden from the server’s view.

Otherwise, it would have looked like Xiao Nuonuo had her hand up Ruo Xiaoxi’s skirt. That would have been disastrous! Xiao Nuonuo panicked, trying to pull her hand free, but it was trapped.

“How about… medium? Xiao Nuonuo, can you handle spicy food? Eh, your face is so red, are you okay?”

“I…” It’s because you won’t let go of my hand! And you’re still teasing me! What if someone sees us?

Xiao Nuonuo squirmed uncomfortably, her face burning.

She managed to answer the server, her voice barely above a whisper, asking for mild spice, pretending nothing was happening.

Her cheeks felt like they were on fire; she was about to faint.

After the server left, Ruo Xiaoxi, as if suddenly realizing what she had done, released Lan Yinuo’s hand and offered her the cola. “Oops, sorry, I didn’t notice. I think I almost warmed up your drink.”

That innocent look, that pure expression, made Lan Yinuo glare at her, fuming.

She had been planning to peel the crayfish for her, hmph, not anymore!

Seeing Xiao Nuonuo’s puffed-up cheeks, Ruo Xiaoxi was puzzled. Shouldn’t she be enjoying this? She leaned closer and whispered in her ear,

“Little perv~ you’ve been staring at my legs all day. You want to play with them, don’t you~?”

“I, I have not!” Lan Yinuo’s face turned even redder, steam practically rising from her head. “X-Xiaoxi is the one being bad… teasing me all day…”

“Eh? I haven’t done anything. You were the one peeking at my bra, wanting to pat my head, and now you’re staring at my legs. Could it be~ that you’re the little perv?”

“I… I, I didn’t, it’s not like that, I was just looking… mmm…”

Lan Yinuo couldn’t argue with Ruo Xiaoxi. She had been staring. But it was because Xiaoxi was so cute, and she often felt like she was being deliberately seduced.

Xiaoxi seemed to give her silent permission, yet maintained a certain distance, a tantalizing mix of closeness and restraint, making her heart ache with longing.

She couldn’t figure out what Xiaoxi was thinking, caught in her honey trap, completely at her mercy.

This must be the way of the green tea girl.

If she wasn’t interested, she would politely decline, playing the innocent white lotus, leaving the other party heartbroken and disillusioned.

She would have her fun and leave the other person with all the confusion and sadness.

But if she was interested, a little manipulation was all it took to capture the heart and soul of someone like Xiao Nuonuo.

Lan Yinuo was starting to understand Ruo Xiaoxi’s power. This little green tea, so refreshing yet so intoxicating, addictive from the first sip, drowning her in a sea of romantic bliss.

She couldn’t explain it, but she instinctively knew Ruo Xiaoxi was a master of love. She was so captivating that Lan Yinuo could barely contain her feelings.

“It’s our date, after all. If I didn’t tease you, you’d think we were just taking a walk in the park.”

“T-tease me again, and I’ll marry you!” Xiao Nuonuo declared boldly.

Ruo Xiaoxi paused, then burst out laughing. Wasn’t she the one who said she wouldn’t marry me?

This timid little Nuonuo was too cute! She might have finally found someone even more submissive than herself! She wanted to see Xiao Nuonuo blush and fluster, that innocent expression only found in the purest of hearts.

Such pure girls were rare these days…

Ruo Xiaoxi gently traced circles on Lan Yinuo’s thigh with her finger, determined to tease her relentlessly. It was a battle to the death!

The air between them crackled with tension, their bodies close, their heartbeats echoing each other, the hormones of love surging.

“Because, I’ve always liked…” Ruo Xiaoxi whispered in her ear.

Lan Yinuo’s heart pounded in her chest. She held her breath, straining to hear what Ruo Xiaoxi was saying. Missing a single word at this crucial moment would be an irreparable loss!

“Ah, the crayfish is here.” But Ruo Xiaoxi abruptly stopped, her gaze fixed on the newly arrived dish as she reached for a pair of gloves.

Why did she stop!?

Where did this crayfish come from? Go away!

She was about to confess! I almost heard it!!

Lan Yinuo felt a wave of frustration, a sense of disappointment and unease. She wanted to just confess herself…

No, no, calm down, Nuonuo!

Lan Yinuo shook her head, a sudden realization dawning on her.

Xiaoxi is playing the long game!

She knew Ruo Xiaoxi was interested in her, but Tianxin had warned her that Xiaoxi was a fickle little player, and she had to be careful.

If she didn’t keep a close watch, this little radish would sprout legs and run away.

Being swept up in the moment and confessing now, even though it seemed proactive, would actually put her at a disadvantage.

Ruo Xiaoxi would have the power to decide the outcome, to dictate the rules and the ending of this love game! Xiaoxi is a good girl, but also a bad girl.

And Nuonuo was just shy, not stupid! She wouldn’t give up control of the relationship so easily.

I really want to bully Xiaoxi, make her cry and beg for mercy!

53. Let’s Go Eat Barbecue! 

“Whoa, here we go, hold on tight!”

“Aaaaaah…”

Splash! The small boat plunged from the top of the flume ride, sending water spraying everywhere. It bobbed on the surface for a moment before settling.

Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo emerged, their clothes slightly damp.

“Next time, I’m bringing an umbrella. My clothes are all wet,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, lifting her arm to show a few soaked spots. She noticed Xiao Nuonuo was also wet.

They had spent the whole afternoon at the amusement park, trying various rides, riding the Ferris wheel, and taking countless photos.

As the day wore on, Xiao Nuonuo gradually became more comfortable, laughing and joking with Ruo Xiaoxi, their cheerful voices echoing through the park.

As dusk settled, the amusement park switched to night mode, the colorful lights twinkling, transforming the pedestrian street into a neon wonderland. They strolled along, each holding a cup of milk tea.

“Look, look, Xiao Nuonuo, I can do this.”

Ruo Xiaoxi pulled down her collar slightly, placed the milk tea cup between her breasts, and drank from it, hands-free.

“Eh!? I, I should be able to do that too…” Xiao Nuonuo glanced down at her own chest.

It was said that only girls who couldn’t see their toes when looking down could do that. Xiao Nuonuo could see her shoes. She tried to place the milk tea cup on her chest.

It precariously balanced there, threatening to spill with the slightest movement. Not big enough…

“Haha, don’t push yourself,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, puffing out her chest, showing off her ample bosom. She could only compete with girls of the same height, so she had to seize the opportunity.

Xiao Nuonuo glared enviously at Ruo Xiaoxi’s impressive figure, determined to catch up.

Hmph, if you keep showing off, I’ll squish you!

Ruo Xiaoxi’s phone vibrated; a new message notification.

“Hmm?” She pulled her phone from her skirt pocket and saw it was already 7 pm. Time flies when you’re having fun.

The message was from her sister. Ruo Tianxin was already home. That was fast.

[I’m home safe, sis.]
[I bought you some cute girly wallpaper and a snack bucket. They’re on the sofa. Remember to put up the wallpaper. I also got you a whale plushie.]
[A normal whale plushie! We’ll buy the other kind next time.]

Reading her sister’s last message, Ruo Xiaoxi almost spat out her milk tea. The added clarification made it even weirder. What kind of “not normal” whale plushie is she talking about…?

It seemed shame and embarrassment no longer existed between them!

“It’s already seven o’clock,” Lan Yinuo said, looking up at the star-studded sky, clear and bright after a recent rain.

It was time for their date to end. They had had a wonderful time.

But then Ruo Xiaoxi noticed a barbecue stall opening up and excitedly pulled Xiao Nuonuo towards it. “A perfect day needs a perfect meal! Let’s get some barbecue!”

They found a small table and sat down.

Lan Yinuo rarely ate barbecue, but since Ruo Xiaoxi had brought her here, she decided to try it, though she looked a bit lost with the unfamiliar menu.

At least she knew how to order an iced cola.

As the skewers arrived, Lan Yinuo couldn’t find her cola. She looked around, confused.

“What’s wrong? Did you lose something?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked, munching on a skewer.

“No, I just can’t find my cola.”

“Oh! The table was too full, so I put it down. Here.” Ruo Xiaoxi, her hands oily, had been busy eating. Remembering the cola, she shifted slightly.

Lan Yinuo looked down and saw the cola hidden beneath Ruo Xiaoxi’s skirt. She had placed it on the seat and was using her thigh to keep it from rolling off.

As she reached for it, her hand froze. Ruo Xiaoxi had crossed her legs, trapping Lan Yinuo’s hand between her thighs.

“Eek!? Xiaoxi…?” Lan Yinuo was startled, trying to pull her hand away, but Ruo Xiaoxi subtly tightened her grip.

Xiao Nuonuo’s hand was trapped, gently squeezed between her soft thighs.

Ruo Xiaoxi, feigning innocence, offered her a skewer. “This lamb skewer is so good, especially the fatty bits. Try some, Xiao Nuonuo.”

“Eh? Xiaoxi…”

“Try it, it’s not too spicy, and it has cumin, so fragrant.”

“Um, my hand…”

“Eh? What’s wrong?” Ruo Xiaoxi looked at her with wide, innocent eyes, as if asking, Are you okay? Your face is red, do you have a fever? Her gaze was full of concern.

She’s doing this on purpose! Trapping my hand! I, I just wanted my cola…

And that innocent, little green tea act was so alluring, utterly irresistible.

Even the purest girl would be tempted to… discipline this seductive little minx, to teach her a lesson until she cried and begged for forgiveness.

You stirred up these feelings, now you have to deal with them. Don’t think you can just tease me and run away.

Xiao Nuonuo bit her lip, her legs rubbing together involuntarily, a strange warmth spreading through her. I can’t let Xiaoxi see how flustered I am… how embarrassing…

52. Ruo Xiaoxi’s Sweet Dream 

“Hmm? Xiaoxi, you dropped some cookie crumbs.” Lan Yinuo took a tissue and gently brushed the crumbs from Ruo Xiaoxi’s thigh.

Her fingers grazed the soft skin, a pleasant, yielding sensation.

So soft… like touching a ball of dough.

Lan Yinuo couldn’t resist gently squeezing Ruo Xiaoxi’s leg, then quickly withdrew her hand, worried about overstepping.

Using the excuse of wiping off crumbs to touch her leg… mmm, how shameless of me…

But she had touched Ruo Xiaoxi’s leg, those coveted, slender thighs. Oh no, thinking about Xiaoxi’s legs in white stockings like two little milk sticks is making me want to lick them.

Seeing Xiao Nuonuo’s flushed, dazed expression, Ruo Xiaoxi smiled inwardly. Are my legs really that attractive? You can touch them a little longer, you know.

Though, timid Nuonuo wouldn’t dare.

After Ruo Xiaoxi finished her cookie, Lan Yinuo wiped her mouth with a napkin, like a caring older sister, though she didn’t have any younger siblings.

“Xiaoxi, you were saying I was clumsy, but you have crumbs all over your mouth.”

“Ah? Really? I didn’t notice. The cookies must be too crumbly.” Ruo Xiaoxi, unfazed, let Lan Yinuo wipe her mouth, then brought up an idea she had been thinking about.

Her dream of starting a tea ceremony club at school.

Sitting in the slowly rotating teacup, she was inspired. She imagined a giant teacup like this in the club room, how impressive it would be.

“Eh? Start your own club?”

“Yes, yes, there are so many interesting clubs at school, and I want to try them all, but it wouldn’t be good to keep joining and quitting. So, I thought, why not start a tea ceremony club?”

“But… how is that related…?”

“Silly Nuonuo, the advantage of having your own club is that you can do whatever you want! We can drink tea, and visit other clubs, in the name of, you know, inter-club exchange.”

“Eh—you can do that?” Lan Yinuo was surprised.

“And we can get sponsorships from tea companies to promote their products at school. That way, we’ll have funds for club activities, like buying more tea and snacks.”

“I see! A club for drinking tea, eating snacks, and having fun!”

“It’s about appreciating tea! Appreciating tea isn’t just about the tea itself. It’s about finding inner peace, appreciating nature, pondering life’s philosophies, appreciating upperclassmen’s legs…”

“Did you just sneak something weird in there?”

“You must have misheard.” Of course, it didn’t have to be upperclassmen’s legs. It could be girls from her year, or future juniors, or even Xiao Nuonuo, right here.

Xiao Nuonuo’s legs are quite nice, so smooth and—no, no, getting off track.

“Of course, this is just a preliminary idea. We can figure out the specifics of club activities later. I can ask for help with the club application process.”

“I see… it sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into this, but…”

“But what?”

“You’re talking about what to do after the club is established, but how are you going to attract members in the first place? A tea ceremony club doesn’t seem very popular…”

“…” Ruo Xiaoxi froze, realizing the problem.

She might be able to get the club approved, but a club needed members. Without activities, the club would be shut down, and if membership fell below a certain number, they would lose their space.

“I-it’s okay… I’ll figure it out. I, I’ll attract members!” Ruo Xiaoxi declared, determined. The loli president would use her charms to lure in some older and younger sisters.

“But… do you even know anything about tea ceremonies?”

“That… depends on what kind of tea ceremony you mean,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, scratching her cheek.

“Eh? What do you mean?”

“N-nothing! I don’t usually make tea.”

“Then what kind of tea should we buy for the club?” Lan Yinuo had already imagined herself as a club member. If Ruo Xiaoxi was serious about this, she would definitely support her.

Unconditionally helping Xiaoxi with her problems… I feel like a little wife.

The thought made her blush.

“Tea… I don’t know. Maybe we don’t need to buy any yet?”

“A tea ceremony club with no tea? What will the members appreciate? Iced tea…?”

“They can appreciate… me!” Ruo Xiaoxi said boldly, her cheeks slightly pink, a hint of pride in her voice. Who says I can’t be a little green tea?

Though, if too many older sisters came to “appreciate” her, this little green tea might be thoroughly consumed.

“Maybe I can create a storytelling corner to attract people. I can tell interesting stories about magic? Like… fantasy stories? That could be a club activity.”

“Storytelling…?”

“Yeah, I can… handle that, I think.” Ruo Xiaoxi thought, I’m a special case, aren’t I? I’m a vampire princess; I must have tons of interesting stories to tell.

Like… being pinned down and having my blood sucked by my sister? No, scratch that!!!

Damn it, I can’t think of any. I don’t even know how to get to Chris’s world. But if I could go, I’m sure I could find lots of interesting stories.

Okay, let’s outline the tea ceremony club concept. The main goal is to provide a relaxing space where people can hang out, play games, eat snacks, a comfortable little haven.

I’ve decided, the club will be called the Tea Ceremony and Slacking Off Club!

A warm and cozy nest for cute and cuddly girls.

The setting sun cast long shadows through the window, painting the floor with dancing motes of dust.

Opening the door to a room full of beautiful girls, some lounging on the sofa, some secretly snacking while pretending to drink tea, some chasing each other playfully, some rushing to finish their homework…

And when I return from my adventures, all eyes will be on me, and I can bask in their warm embraces, enjoying their love and affection~

………………

“Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, time’s up, let’s get off,”

Xiao Nuonuo waved her hand in front of Ruo Xiaoxi’s face. Ruo Xiaoxi, lost in her daydream, seemed to have bubbles floating above her head—even her spaced-out look is cute…

And that sweet smile, I wonder what kind of lovely dream she’s having.

51. The Little Green Tea’s Honey Trap 

“Eh? Did Xiao Tianxin have something come up?”

“Yeah, she booked a high-speed rail ticket and had to go home. We’ll hang out together next time.” Ruo Xiaoxi knelt on the bench and noticed a smudge of ice cream on Xiao Nuonuo’s cheek.

She leaned in and gently licked it off.

“Whoa!” Lan Yinuo felt a soft touch on her cheek and turned to see Ruo Xiaoxi smiling sweetly at her.

“Xiao Nuonuo, so clumsy, getting ice cream on your face. Were you trying to feed me?”

“No, I, I still have some, if you want some. It’s strawberry…” Lan Yinuo offered her a spoonful of melting ice cream.

Ruo Xiaoxi opened her mouth and ate it from the spoon, her ahoge wiggling happily as she made a heart shape with her hands in front of her chest.

She’s so cute… Lan Yinuo thought, yet again.

“Oh, right, those guys in the guild wanted to see a picture of me and Xiao Nuonuo. Let’s take one here, how about it?” Ruo Xiaoxi held up her phone, opening the camera app.

“A picture… sure. Hold on, let me button up my collar.”

“Don’t worry, Xiao Nuonuo. You have such a beautiful neck and collarbone, so elegant. Let them see our beautiful guild leader, make them all jealous!”

“B-but…” Lan Yinuo buttoned her collar, shaking her head shyly. “I… I only want Xiaoxi to see…” she whispered.

Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes widened slightly. Eh? I can’t just ignore that! Xiao Nuonuo is trying to flirt with me, isn’t she? This timid little Nuonuo, trying to act all seductive, be careful, or I’ll pounce!

After adjusting her clothes, Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo sat close together. Ruo Xiaoxi held up her phone, switching to selfie mode, looking for a good angle.

Should we look cute or playful…?

Ruo Xiaoxi held the phone slightly in front of them, while Lan Yinuo leaned in from behind, making a peace sign with her fingers, forcing a small smile.

Mmm… it looks good, but something’s missing.

I know!

An idea struck Ruo Xiaoxi. She leaned against Xiao Nuonuo, wrapping an arm around her waist, their cheeks touching.

That’s it! Much more intimate, perfect for a couple’s photo.

This is what the yuri knights in the guild want to see, right? I know them so well.

“Haha, we look like a couple! Click, send!” Ruo Xiaoxi giggled, sending the photo to the guild chat.

Oh, I forgot to use a beauty filter…

But it doesn’t matter, our skin is already flawless, especially Xiao Nuonuo’s. A filter would just mask her natural beauty.

Now alone, they relaxed and enjoyed the amusement park, going wherever their whims took them. They decided to skip the more intense rides, like the escape rooms.

Escape rooms were different from haunted houses; they involved puzzles, but they were more fun with a group.

Yeah, next time, I’ll bring a whole busload of people. We’ll look like we’re raiding the place, storming into the escape room. With that many people, we could even steal the King of Hell’s throne.

So, Ruo Xiaoxi chose the spinning teacups across from the escape room. She wasn’t sure what they were actually called.

“Xiao Nuonuo, let’s go on that big… spinning bird thing…”

“Spinning… bird…?” Lan Yinuo gave her a strange look.

“A-hem, I meant teacups, spinning teacups.”

Many teacups spun on a large platform; it looked relaxing.

They sat facing each other in a large white teacup. The attendant told them it would spin for about fifteen minutes before automatically stopping.

“Xiaoxi, want a cookie?” Lan Yinuo offered her a cookie and a tiny carton of sweet milk, the kind designed for children, small enough to be finished in one gulp.

Ruo Xiaoxi took the milk and cookie, about to munch on the cookie, then remembered she was on a date and took a small, ladylike bite instead.

“Giggle… Xiaoxi, you’re trying so hard.” Lan Yinuo covered her mouth, laughing.

“Ah? You saw through my act?”

“Even if you’re trying to be ladylike, you don’t have to nibble on a cookie like that. It’ll take forever to finish it.”

“Hee hee, I wasn’t really trying. Since you’re being so straightforward, I’ll be myself.” Ruo Xiaoxi took a large bite of the cookie and then drank the milk in one gulp.

The children’s milk was surprisingly delicious, so sweet.

As for the date… she couldn’t take it seriously with Xiao Nuonuo! It felt like hanging out with a close friend, a good sister, just having fun.

But as she watched Ruo Xiaoxi eat, Lan Yinuo’s gaze drifted downwards and lingered on her legs.

Ruo Xiaoxi noticed Xiao Nuonuo staring at her white-stockinged legs, as if having impure thoughts, but hesitating, lacking the courage to act on them.

Ruo Xiaoxi was quite proud of her legs. As Xia Zhibai had said, these were the legs of a little green tea, used to ensnare unsuspecting girls. Countless girls had fallen victim to their seductive power.

The perfect curves and smooth lines, accentuated by the white stockings, were incredibly alluring, tempting one to reach out and touch.

“…Hee hee,” the little green tea giggled softly, unaware of her own seductive power. Looks like Xiao Nuonuo is captivated. What am I going to do with you~?

Ruo Xiaoxi looked up innocently, as if oblivious.

Then, with a slight flick of her wrist, she “accidentally” dropped some cookie crumbs on her thigh.

50. Such Close Sisters (Part 1)

“So, where should we go next…?” After a short rest, Ruo Tianxin, fully recharged, was the first to jump up from the bench. Just as she spoke, her phone rang.

Eh? Whose phone is that? Mine?

Ruo Tianxin took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and muttered, “Mom?”

“Sis, I need to take this call. You two finish the ice cream.”

With a smile, Ruo Tianxin walked away to answer the call.

Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo still hadn’t finished the giant ice cream cone. Finally admitting defeat, they grabbed two spoons and started eating it like a parfait.

“Hello… Mom? Why are you calling your precious daughter?”

Ruo Tianxin’s voice faded into the distance. Ruo Xiaoxi, eating her ice cream, watched her sister walk away and stand under a tree, talking on the phone.

It took about two or three minutes.

Since it was their mother calling, Ruo Xiaoxi felt a twinge of concern and followed her sister. By the time she reached her, Ruo Tianxin had finished the call and was putting her phone away.

“Tianxin, what did Mom say?”

“Sister, I can’t stay with you guys any longer. I have to go home.”

“Hmm? What happened?”

“Haha, nothing much. Mom called to ask if I had arrived yet. If I hadn’t, she and Dad were planning to come visit you.”

“Mom and Dad are coming!?” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in alarm.

“Yeah, so I told them I already bought a ticket home and that you were busy studying. They said they’d visit you another time.”

“Whew… thanks, Tianxin.”

“Hee hee, relieved? Aren’t you grateful to your wonderful little sister for keeping your secret?”

“Hmph, if you betray me, I’ll tell Mom and Dad about your little toy.”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t you dare! And what’s the big deal? It’s perfectly normal! I’m a teenage girl; Mom will definitely understand.”

Ruo Tianxin crossed her arms, a hopeful look on her face. Surely she’ll understand…

“So, you’re going home now? You can take the bus from the amusement park entrance.”

“Yeah, I’ll head back now. I’ll buy the wallpaper and plushies for your room on my way. Do you want me to leave one of my ‘Little Cuties’ for you too?” Ruo Tianxin asked with a grin, flashing her pearly white teeth.

“K-keep your things to yourself,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, looking away.

“I have two anyway, so I can give you one. Who was it moaning ‘So good, so good’ the other night?” Ruo Tianxin teased, clearly enjoying her newfound leverage. “Oh, and I have something else for you.”

“What is it?”

“This.” Ruo Tianxin pulled out a pink button with a keyring attached, this time a practical item. “A personal safety alarm. I always carry a spare.”

“A safety alarm…” Ruo Xiaoxi took the unfamiliar device.

“Mom bought it for me. It’s for emergencies, if you encounter a creep or a bad guy. Now that you’re a girl, you have to be more careful. Don’t take taxis alone at night.”

“Huh… yeah, I know,” Ruo Xiaoxi nodded.

“And also… here’s a little spending money for you,” Ruo Tianxin said, transferring 3000 yuan to Ruo Xiaoxi’s phone.

“Mom and Dad already gave me plenty of money. What’s this for…?”

“This is from your little sister, shhh, don’t tell Mom and Dad. Living expenses are higher in the city, don’t shortchange yourself.”

“Is this your own allowance? No need, I, I have a rich older sister who supports me. Keep your money, I’ll transfer it back.”

Ruo Xiaoxi quickly took out her phone, ready to send the money back.

But Ruo Tianxin stopped her, shaking her head. “No, sister, girls have to be independent. You can’t always rely on others. It might be okay for a while, but in the long run, it will make people look down on you. It’s not good.”

Ruo Xiaoxi considered her words. She couldn’t always depend on others, couldn’t take advantage of her looks for financial gain, and she didn’t like being indebted to others.

But her sister giving her her own allowance made her feel guilty…

“Then how about this, I’ll take a third for living expenses, and we’ll save the rest in our joint account.”

“That’s fine too. Just remember to take care of yourself, sister.”

The sisters had a joint savings account where they deposited their leftover allowance. They rarely withdrew money from it, as their allowance was usually enough, and they were both relatively frugal.

With practical matters settled, they turned their attention to the present.

Ruo Tianxin glanced at Lan Yinuo, who was sitting alone on the bench, then whispered to Ruo Xiaoxi, “Remember, get Nuonuo!”

“I’ll try my best, but if she doesn’t like me, I can’t do anything about it,” Ruo Xiaoxi whispered back, thinking that Xiao Nuonuo, being so timid, would be easy to win over.

“She does like you, I think. But if no one wants to marry you, I can always take you. What do you think?”

“In your dreams! I have so many girls who like me; you’re not even in the running.”

“Pfft, shouldn’t you say, ‘I like so many girls’? Oh well, you little player, I hope you haven’t turned into a human plush toy by the time I visit you again.”

“They’ll all be my little blood bags!” Ruo Xiaoxi declared, putting her hands on her hips.

If she saw her brother causing trouble and getting boiled alive by a group of angry older sisters, Ruo Tianxin wouldn’t save her; she might even add more fuel to the fire.

“Then I look forward to the day my vampire sister conquers another world.”

“Mm!” Ruo Xiaoxi nodded proudly. “Then I can finally achieve food freedom! I won’t have to worry about blood anymore, and I can even be picky and choose only the tastiest!”

Bread is a dream, and a dream is bread.

Although, looking at the petite vampire, it was hard to take her seriously.

Ruo Tianxin chuckled, gently cupped Ruo Xiaoxi’s face, and kissed her cheek. Kiss for my cute older sister.

“I’ll say goodbye to Nuonuo. You two continue your date. I’ll head back now.”

“Mmm… be careful, and call me when you get home.”

49. Beautiful Girls and Ice Cream!

“Well, I accidentally became a lucky pervert. Time for a break~”

After exiting the inflatable water balls, Ruo Tianxin strolled ahead, hands behind her head, glancing back at the two older sisters with half-closed eyes.

Xiao Nuonuo worried about her weight, hoping she hadn’t crushed Xiaoxi…

Finally reaching the rest area, the two o’clock sun beat down mercilessly. Seeking refuge from the scorching UV rays, the girls huddled under a parasol.

Three pairs of beautiful legs, side by side, rested on the wooden bench.

“It’s so hot. Is there any ice cream or cold drinks around…?” Ruo Tianxin tugged at her collar, fanning herself and looking for a shop. They had exerted themselves too much in the water balls and were now sweating.

“I have sunscreen. Xiao Nuonuo, let me put some on you,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, pulling a tube of sunscreen from her bag and squeezing some into her hand.

Lan Yinuo also had sunscreen in her bag; it was a summer essential for girls. Hers was in a light blue tube.

She took it out, hesitating, as if wanting to say something.

“Yours looks good too. Can I try some?” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes lit up, feigning great interest.

“Sure!” Lan Yinuo nodded eagerly. She had been wondering how to offer, and Xiaoxi had made it easy for her.

The two girls applied sunscreen to each other, Ruo Xiaoxi gently stroking Xiao Nuonuo’s slender arm, carefully covering it with lotion.

“Oops!” Ruo Xiaoxi suddenly yelped.

“What’s wrong? Did my nail scratch you?” Lan Yinuo stopped, concerned.

Ruo Xiaoxi giggled, shaking her head. “No, no, it just tickles when you put it on my neck, hee hee.”

“So… so cute…” Lan Yinuo whispered.

Where did this precious girl come from? So adorable…

Lan Yinuo wanted to pat her head but restrained herself. Unexpectedly, Ruo Xiaoxi leaned against her, lowering herself slightly, as if inviting the touch.

The urge, previously suppressed, resurfaced.

“Xiaoxi… can, can I pat your head?” Lan Yinuo blurted out.

“Pat my head? Hee hee, why? Do you like me, Xiao Nuonuo?”

“Ah, I, I… well…”

“Here’s my head, go ahead.” Ruo Xiaoxi leaned against Lan Yinuo’s leg for support, curling up like a kitten, her legs tucked under her, a picture of adorable submission.

How could a pure and innocent girl resist such a temptation? She gently placed her hand on Ruo Xiaoxi’s head, stroking her soft hair. She felt a warmth radiating from her, like petting a kitten.

Ruo Xiaoxi remained silent, enjoying the touch, occasionally letting out a soft sigh of contentment.

Is it really that comfortable? Lan Yinuo wondered, but emboldened, she continued stroking, her heart overflowing with happiness.

Sitting on a shaded bench on a summer day, the person she liked nestled in her arms…

“Hey, I found it! They sell ice cream over there, it says on the sign. We… What are you two doing!?!?!” Ruo Tianxin, who had been searching for ice cream, turned around and stared at them, shocked.

Lan Yinuo jumped, quickly withdrawing her hand and blushing, her gaze fixed on the ground.

Ruo Xiaoxi sat up, pretending nothing had happened. “We were just putting on sunscreen,” she said matter-of-factly.

“Do you usually lie down and cuddle while putting on sunscreen? Wait, you were putting sunscreen on each other? What about me, what about me!?”

“I have some left on my hand, I can put it on your face.”

“…Sis, you just want to wipe your hands on me,” Ruo Tianxin deadpanned.

So, they put on sunscreen without me.

Are we not best friends anymore? I’ll get my revenge.

“They sell ice cream over there, I’ll go get some,” Ruo Tianxin said, pointing across the way, then quickly walked off, using her bag as a shield against the glaring sun.

A short while later, Ruo Tianxin returned, happily licking her ice cream.

“Eh? Tianxin, where are ours?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked.

“Here, this is for you two,” Ruo Tianxin handed them a large ice cream cone.

“Only… one?” Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo both reached out, then Xiao Nuonuo hesitated and withdrew her hand.

“Share it. It’s a big one, see?”

“It is quite big… but how are we supposed to eat it like this? Xiao Nuonuo, you hold the other side,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, taking the ice cream cone. It was definitely big enough for both of them.

She wants us to share an ice cream cone?

Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo looked at each other, their faces close together as they held the ice cream, unsure how to take a bite, their gazes locking, their cheeks turning pink.

Seeing their hesitation, Ruo Tianxin chuckled. “It’s a special ice cream, meant for sharing. What are you looking at? Eat it before it melts.”

There was no such thing as a “sharing ice cream,” she had just asked the vendor for an extra-large one.

“Is that so? Then…” Ruo Xiaoxi glanced at Xiao Nuonuo. The ice cream was melting quickly in the heat, so they had to eat it quickly.

Ruo Xiaoxi leaned closer and took a lick.

The cool, sweet taste spread across her tongue, making her shiver with delight. “It’s really good!” she said to Lan Yinuo.

“Really? Let me try…” Lan Yinuo mimicked her, taking a lick, her tongue swiping a bit of chocolate.

Finding it delicious, they began to eat in earnest.

The two beautiful girls, each holding one side of the large ice cream cone, their pink tongues occasionally darting out to lick the sides, created an incredibly cute scene.

It was so adorable that Ruo Tianxin quickly snapped a picture. She hadn’t expected it to be this cute; the two girls were perfectly in sync, creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

This photo could win an award!

“Look, look, those two girls are sharing an ice cream cone.”

“Where? Wow, they really are sharing! So cute!”

Whispers and giggles arose around them. Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo, trying to ignore the attention, blushed even more. Ruo Tianxin, grinning mischievously, asked,

“Why are your faces getting redder the more you eat this cold ice cream?”

Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyebrow twitched as she tried to ignore her sister’s teasing. She whispered to Lan Yinuo, “…Xiao Nuonuo, I think Tianxin tricked us.”

“Mmm…” Lan Yinuo, sharing an ice cream cone with Xiaoxi, feeling her warm breath on her face, couldn’t respond. She was too flustered, almost fainting from embarrassment.
