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.

Useless Little Green Tea’s Guide to Getting Beaten, Chapter 1: Bunnies are so cute, how could you eat a bunny?

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!

37. A-Xi is Playing Video Games

Ruo Xiaoxi turned to face her sister. “What is it?”

“I won’t tell you what it is, but it’s a toy I call ‘Little Cutie.’ I happen to have two, and since you’re a girl now, I thought… you might want to try it too?”

“I’m too old for toys. I’m not interested, unless it’s a posable figure.”

“No, no, it’s not like that. Anyway, just don’t move when I touch you, and you’ll understand.” Ruo Tianxin whispered.

Ruo Xiaoxi felt her sister’s hand moving under the covers, unsure what she was doing.

The next moment, she gasped, her body jolting, her eyes widening in surprise as she blushed crimson. “H-how do you have one of these!?”

“Shhh… be quiet! Why are you so surprised?” Ruo Tianxin’s face was also flushed.

“I’m going to tell Mom and Dad that their good little daughter secretly bought…”

“No, you can’t! Be quiet!” Ruo Tianxin quickly covered Ruo Xiaoxi’s mouth. “I’m not doing anything illegal! It’s a secret, a secret.”

“Why did you even bring this in your suitcase?” Ruo Xiaoxi whispered. Some secrets were best kept from parents, but sisters could share and understand each other.

After her initial shock, Ruo Xiaoxi understood. Girls had their needs. She just hadn’t realized Tianxin was so… discreet. She had only learned about it today.

Now she had a secret to hold over her sister.

“I brought it because I didn’t want to leave it at home. What if Mom and Dad found it? So… want to try? Now you can use it too…”

“Don’t say no! Please! I’ll be too embarrassed to face you tomorrow and will just go home!” Ruo Tianxin added hurriedly before Ruo Xiaoxi could reply.

“You know it’s embarrassing and you still brought it!” Ruo Xiaoxi muttered.

She could sense her sister’s nervous anticipation, waiting for her reaction. She’s probably regretting this already, silly girl.

Alright, I’ll make you so embarrassed you won’t be able to look me in the eye tomorrow.

“Mmm~” Ruo Tianxin whimpered softly. Ruo Xiaoxi, who had been about to refuse, felt her heart melt. She’s using her cute voice on me.

No older sister could resist a younger sister’s coquetry.

“Then… let’s try? I’ve never used one before. You have to teach me…”

“Sure, just relax, or it’ll pop out.”

“You have two, so you have to use one too. I’m not doing this alone. If we’re going to be embarrassed, we’ll be embarrassed together!” The sisters were ready to die of embarrassment together ( ).

Soft rustling sounds continued in the dark room for a while.

“Whoa! This…!” Ruo Xiaoxi’s sudden gasp broke the silence, followed by Ruo Tianxin’s muffled giggles.

“Brother, your voice is so cute, like a little songbird.”

“What’s happening? How do I…?” Ruo Xiaoxi sounded flustered.

“Hee hee, I have the remote. You’re my little pet now!”

Time to take advantage of this opportunity! Ruo Tianxin, feeling a bit ruthless, pressed the remote repeatedly, making the little songbird chirp and twitter.

“Damn it, you little… I, I…” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes flickered with a hint of her vampire vision, her night vision sharpening. With a swift move, she snatched the other device from beside the pillow.

Ruo Tianxin froze, realizing the other one was gone.

“Y-you stole it! Oh no!”

“Come on… Meow! Come on, let’s hurt each other!” Ruo Xiaoxi’s face was flushed, clutching the remote, ready for a showdown with Ruo Tianxin!

If the upstairs neighbors could hear them, they would be utterly confused.

Why were two girls fighting so fiercely over a remote control? Come to think of it, they used to fight over the TV remote when they were kids.

They were both so competitive, like children.

Under the same starry sky—

In a study, a graceful young woman sat at her desk, rubbing her forehead in frustration. Looking at the growing list of student council tasks as the new semester approached, she sighed.

She had just finished her summer homework and was looking forward to spending some quality time with her girlfriend, but now she was swamped with work.

Maybe I should quit the student council next semester…

Oh well, there’s nothing I can do about it now.

Xia Zhibai opened her phone. The wallpaper was a photo of an adorable, white-haired girl, holding two ice cream cones and smiling at the camera.

Every time she saw this picture of Ruo Xiaoxi, her heart felt warm and fuzzy.

This time, she would properly explain that she was busy but would try to make time for her. Like last time, disappearing without a word wasn’t fair.

Looking at the photo, Xia Zhibai’s heart melted.

She decided to send Ruo Xiaoxi a goodnight message.

And explain that she would be busy again soon. She also needed to find a gift for her, a gesture to show she cared.

Yes, that was the right thing to do. It was like… a long-distance relationship?

Xia Zhibai carefully typed a long message and hit send.

[A-Xi is playing video games, will reply later.]

An automatic reply popped up.

What kind of video games is she playing, staying up so late?

Xia Zhibai sent a few more messages, each met with the same automatic reply: [A-Xi is playing video games, will reply later.] She probably left the status on and hadn’t changed it. She should be asleep at this hour.

Just as Xia Zhibai was about to put down her phone, a reply suddenly arrived—

“Sister Xia, A-Xi is really playing video games! I’m about to lose, I’ll reply later!”

“…???”

36. Cuteness is Justice!

The moon hung high in the willow branches, and night painted the sky.

On their way home from the restaurant, Ruo Tianxin bought a vacuum cleaner. Tying up her hair, she put on a dust mask and cap and started cleaning the living room, the machine rumbling loudly.

She wiped the glass desk with a clean cloth, meticulously cleaning even the rarely used teacups, and dusted the television screen, which was coated in a thin layer of grime.

“You don’t have to clean so thoroughly. Let me help,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, peeking her head out of her room. Outside the air-conditioned space felt like a furnace.

The summer heat made Ruo Tianxin sweat profusely, her back soaked, her T-shirt clinging to her skin, the outline of her bra straps faintly visible.

“No, it’s okay, brother, you can study. Housework is a woman’s job. Although… I’m the younger sister, so these chores are my responsibility.”

“So responsible, Tianxin…” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

“Of course, if you feel bad for me working so hard, you could help a little…” Ruo Tianxin said, leaning on the mop and wiping the sweat from her brow, her back aching.

But before she could finish, the door slammed shut.

Hey! She was just being polite! Not actually asking for help!

“Ah? What did you say?” The door opened again, and Ruo Xiaoxi peeked out. I thought I heard something, but I couldn’t quite make it out.

“N-nothing, you continue studying…” Ruo Tianxin said through gritted teeth, forcing a smile.

“Oh, but I’ve finished my lesson for today. Come play with me when you’re done.” With a flick of her snow-white hair, Ruo Xiaoxi closed the door and went back to her room.

She finished already? That was fast… Ruo Tianxin thought.

While she could list a litany of her brother’s flaws, one thing was undeniable: his incredible ability to focus on his studies.

Sometimes, she wondered if he was too smart, as if all the academic talent in the family had gone to him. Ruo Tianxin wasn’t a bad student, but compared to Ruo Xiaoxi, she struggled.

Despite her brother’s playful, mischievous demeanor, he was a genuine academic prodigy.

After finishing her chores, Ruo Tianxin went back to the bedroom, pulling at her sweat-soaked shirt. She found Ruo Xiaoxi lying on the bed listening to music, her pretty feet, clad in white stockings, dangling playfully.

“Wearing stockings at home? Who are you trying to impress?” Ruo Tianxin grabbed her brother’s feet, stopping their rhythmic swinging, and gave them a squeeze.

“My legs get cold easily. And… can’t I admire myself?”

The smooth, silky texture of the stockings felt like they would slip through her fingers, elusive and soft, the delicate toes yielding to her touch.

Ruo Tianxin blushed, holding those little feet.

Ruo Xiaoxi didn’t resist, letting her sister play with her feet. It was just her little sister, not some strange woman.

Ruo Tianxin gently released her feet and looked at Ruo Xiaoxi, lost in her music, seemingly oblivious, her shameless display making her want to… do things to her!

The fact that this was her brother made the urge even stronger.

She wanted to experience that “Oh, so my brother makes these cute expressions as a girl too” moment. She could tease him now; the thought was exhilarating.

“Go take a shower. I don’t want you to catch a cold,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, noticing her sister’s sweat-soaked clothes. She reached over to the control panel for the central air conditioning and raised the temperature slightly.

Ruo Tianxin nodded and went to take a shower.

The bedroom light was on, and Ruo Xiaoxi lay on the bed, wrapped in the covers, listening to music.

She heard Jay Chou was finally releasing a new song, but he had only released a snippet, leaving fans hanging. Some fans had even composed their own continuations, and they were surprisingly good.

The quiet room was filled only with the soft whirring of the computer’s fan.

From the bathroom, separated by a glass door, came the sounds of running water, the showerhead occasionally clanging against the faucet. Ruo Tianxin stood under the spray, eyes closed, cupping her breasts.

The sisters’ lives remained simple and peaceful, unchanged by the extraordinary circumstances.

Sharing one earbud, they listened to music together and played games until midnight, when they finally felt sleepy and decided to go to bed.

Although they usually slept with separate blankets, Ruo Xiaoxi only had one, so the sisters, no longer needing to maintain the pretense of distance, decided to share.

Her sister didn’t seem to dislike her, even though she had initially called her “creepy”… but now she was all “cute, cute”! Ruo Xiaoxi also thought she was cute!

Cuteness is justice! And she was an agent of justice.

They made the bed, turned off the lights, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Ruo Xiaoxi felt a strange sensation, her sister’s warmth beside her. Her heart beat a little faster. No weird thoughts, just… this is new.

Suddenly, she heard a slight rustling sound.

Ruo Tianxin got out of bed and, in the darkness, knelt down by her suitcase, unzipping it and taking something out.

Then she crawled back into bed.

“What’s wrong?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked.

Ruo Tianxin leaned closer, as if sharing a secret, her voice a whisper.

“Remember I said I had something to show you tonight? Hee hee.”

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!”

34. Marrying Off My Adorable Brother!

Ruo Tianxin unpacked her toiletries, placing her toothbrush and cup next to Ruo Xiaoxi’s on the bathroom vanity.

Just like when they were kids, their blue and pink plastic cups stood side-by-side.

She looked around the apartment. It was surprisingly clean and organized, not at all like the messy pigsty she had imagined.

She had been planning to clean up as soon as she arrived.

“Maybe turning my brother into a neat and tidy girl isn’t so bad?”

“What?” Ruo Xiaoxi, engrossed in her game, glanced at her.

Returning from the bathroom, Ruo Tianxin took out her laptop and placed it on the spacious glass desk, the surface cool against her arm.

She squeezed in next to Ruo Xiaoxi.

The chair suddenly felt cramped, their shoulders touching, a faint, sweet fragrance wafting from her sister.

Their bare legs brushed against each other, like two pieces of flawless white jade. Ruo Xiaoxi felt a coolness emanating from her sister’s leg.

“Tianxin… it’s a bit tight,” Ruo Xiaoxi mumbled, her cheeks flushing slightly, her eyes half-closed.

Even though they were both girls now, and such close contact wasn’t a big deal, it was still her sister, and it made her strangely shy.

It had been a long time since they had been this close. Had her little sister grown into such a beautiful young woman? And she smells so nice… I’m going to faint!

“Can’t be helped. Your apartment is so minimalist, only one chair, not even a stool. And those little step stools are too short. Just squeeze, squeeze~”

“I live alone, I don’t have guests over, so I didn’t think about it.”

“See? We can still fit. I’ll put my laptop here, and you can still reach the mouse and keyboard.”

Thankfully, Ruo Xiaoxi had bought a larger chair, big enough for an adult man, which was just right for two petite girls.

As Ruo Tianxin opened her laptop and logged into the game, she noticed Ruo Xiaoxi’s shy demeanor and couldn’t help but tease her. “Bro, are you embarrassed to sit next to me? Aren’t you a little old for that?”

“N-no! This is called being a refined and demure young lady! And it’s because I’m older now…”

“A young lady, giggle, giggle, giggle.” Ruo Tianxin burst into laughter, her eyebrows curving into crescents. “Yes, yes, our Xiaoxi is a proper young lady, aren’t you, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi?”

The girl’s name my brother chose for himself is quite cute.

Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, she keeps saying it, so annoying! Ruo Xiaoxi blushed and looked away. Being called that by her sister was strangely embarrassing.

Wanting to see more of her brother’s cute transformations, Ruo Tianxin mischievously reached around and hugged Ruo Xiaoxi’s slender waist. “Look, I can hug you with one arm. You’re such a loli.”

“S-stop it, please… eep!” Ruo Xiaoxi squirmed, mortified. It seemed her years of establishing her older brother’s authority had crumbled overnight.

And now she had to endure being teased and humiliated by her younger sister. She bit her lip to suppress her frustration.

Once Ruo Tianxin logged into the game, Ruo Xiaoxi messaged Lan Yinuo that she was back.

Before starting the video call, Ruo Tianxin even checked her reflection in a small mirror, making sure she looked presentable.

If my sister is going to be so pretty, then I can’t embarrass the family.

Ruo Xiaoxi briefly introduced her sister to Lan Yinuo. The two girls hit it off immediately.

Ruo Tianxin’s account was relatively new; she was a newbie at this game. They decided to do some quests together and help her level up.

Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo usually spent their time sightseeing and chatting in the game; dungeons were too tiring, and Lan Yinuo didn’t enjoy them.

So, if you saw two lolis in pretty dresses in the game, idling together in one spot, then flying hand-in-hand to another location to idle some more, that was definitely Ruo Xiaoxi and Lan Yinuo, chatting as they explored the map.

Especially the one with the shameless username [I’m Cute, Send Money].

Before she knew it, Ruo Xiaoxi’s sister and Lan Yinuo had formed a master-disciple relationship in the game.

“Master, Master, this NPC has such big breasts! Gasp, gasp. There’s only a leaf covering them, so lewd! I usually don’t look at these things.”

“Because this is the Nan Zhao region. The setting is mostly forests and tribes, not as grand as the main cities like Yangzhou or Chang’an. The inhabitants are more… primitive.”

“Eh, Master, I can’t use my skills! I’m smashing my keyboard!”

“Ah, in this game, you need to face your target to use skills. You can’t attack with your back turned. I’ll teleport back to the main city and buy you some bags and candied hawthorns. I’ll be right back.”

“What are bags and candied hawthorns…?”

Ruo Tianxin kept calling Lan Yinuo “Master,” and Lan Yinuo patiently guided her.

Her sister rarely played online games, preferring dramas and manga. She was a complete newbie, unfamiliar with many things.

You couldn’t ask her, “What else don’t you know?” but rather, “What do you know?”

But raising a newbie disciple was part of the fun of MMOs. However, her sister was so clueless she was wearing healer gear and wondering why her damage was so low.

She even started questioning the game’s balance.

“Is there something wrong with the game’s difficulty?”

Lan Yinuo’s silvery laughter echoed through the voice chat. Ruo Tianxin’s clueless, bewildered expression, occasionally glancing at Ruo Xiaoxi for help, made her even more adorable.

From now on, neither of us can judge the other for being clueless.

“Nuonuo, this is a pig, from the Chinese zodiac,” Ruo Xiaoxi said solemnly, gesturing towards her sister.

“Pfft…! Don’t be mean, Tianxin is very cute. Don’t bully my disciple.”

“Exactly! If you’re going to insult me, at least do it directly. And if I’m a pig, then you are too. We’re from the same litter, after all. You’re still my br… my sis.”

The three of them played together until evening, the room filled with their cheerful chatter. Ruo Tianxin finally reached max level, and, exhausted from chatting and gaming, they said goodnight and logged off.

Of course, Lan Yinuo was practically online 24/7 during summer vacation, even leaving her character online while she slept. When she wasn’t video chatting with Ruo Xiaoxi or in the guild voice chat, she would do quests by herself.

That’s why Ruo Xiaoxi had given her the title of “internet-addicted girl.”

“Alright, it’s dinner time. I can’t cook, so let’s eat out,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, turning off the computer and standing up. Seeing her sister still sitting in the chair, she asked, “What’s wrong? Still want to play?”

Ruo Tianxin’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Bro, do you like that girl? Do you want to date her?”

“Eh!? Why are you asking? I… I don’t know. I like her, of course I like her.”

“That girl with the slightly curly hair? She’s so pretty, and she has such a sweet and gentle personality, a total goody-two-shoes. I approve!”

Plus, she had heard during their chat that they lived close by, just a short subway ride away. This wasn’t some long-distance online romance; they could be a real couple!

How to be a good little sister:

Ruo Tianxin rubbed her hands together, eager to get started. She had been worried about her brother, now sister, being alone in a different city for school, with no one to take care of her.

Before some guy snatches her up…

I need to find a way to marry off my adorable brother.

Find her a kind and gentle girlfriend.

33. Warming My Bed Is More Like It

“I need to drink blood to survive. And blood bags, with their inferior quality, would taint my bloodline. I can only hunt for fresh blood.”

“Sounds… difficult. Who are you even going to prey on?”

“I, I can seduce…” Ruo Xiaoxi said shyly, blinking playfully.

Ruo Tianxin paused. Seduce? Seduce who? She’s not going to seduce men, is she? No, no, that’s such a waste. Such a cute girl, how could she degrade herself like that!

“Anyway, that’s not important! What is important… is this. Follow me to the study.”

Ruo Xiaoxi stood up and led her sister to the room.

Dragging a small stool over, Ruo Xiaoxi climbed onto it and retrieved a thick book from the bookshelf, laying it open on the desk. From within its pages, she pulled out a map.

Based on snippets of information gleaned from Chris, she proceeded to explain things to her sister. Something about a war between gods, something about ancient ruins filled with treasures and artifacts.

She had only heard the names and didn’t really understand what they were.

“Now that I’m a vampire, I can’t just laze around. So, my goal is clear: to bring happiness to many older sisters while exploring and conquering the magical world!”

“Why the ‘bringing happiness to older sisters’ part?”

“Because… I need to eat~,” Ruo Xiaoxi said with a shy shrug.

Damn, so cute. Even though I know she’s my brother, I just want to hug and squeeze her. Though, she still didn’t understand the connection between “eating” and “bringing happiness to older sisters.”

“So, Tianxin, you appearing before me today is incredibly significant. You are, to my grand vampire aspirations—”

“Your strategist and advisor?”

“No…” Ruo Xiaoxi paused for dramatic effect, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Then, catching Ruo Tianxin off guard, she launched herself across the desk! A surprise attack!

“A walking blood bag, delivered right to my doorstep! The seed funding for my grand adventure!”

“Whoa—!” Ruo Tianxin stared as Ruo Xiaoxi flew towards her, her mouth agape, as if time had slowed down… then she deftly dodged to the side.

A loud thud echoed through the room as Ruo Xiaoxi crashed onto the wooden floor…

Ruo Tianxin stared down at her sprawled, disheveled form. Ruo Xiaoxi stared blankly at the floor. The surprise attack had failed; an awkward silence hung in the air…

I have a theory. Is it possible she wasn’t rushing to the bathroom earlier, but planning to pounce on me and suck my blood? (Thinking pose.jpg)

Hah, you clumsy loli, conquering the world? You’re more like a loli body pillow, good for warming my bed, that’s about it.

“Bro, I might stay for a few days. I brought extra clothes. Where am I sleeping?”

“The sofa,” Ruo Xiaoxi said immediately, getting up, rubbing her bruised forehead.

“I’ll catch a cold. Isn’t there a spare bedroom?”

“There is, but I haven’t cleaned it. I use it as storage. It’s a mess; I can’t possibly clean it up in time. There are boxes and chairs everywhere.”

“Then what?” Ruo Tianxin dragged her suitcase inside and stopped in the hallway.

“How about… you share a room with me?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked tentatively.

It shouldn’t be a problem. They were family, they had grown up together, only recently living apart because of Ruo Xiaoxi attending high school in a different city.

They had only started sleeping in separate rooms during puberty to avoid awkward situations, especially after Tianxin started wearing training bras.

They had shared a room for all six years of elementary school.

“So… what do you think?” Ruo Tianxin hesitated, then realized her brother was now her sister. Two girls sharing a bed wasn’t a big deal.

“Come on, my bed is pretty big.” Ruo Xiaoxi waved from her doorway.

“Will you peek at me while I’m changing?”

“To be honest, there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time. Even that time I accidentally saw you run out of the bathroom naked, I didn’t feel anything towards my little sister!”

And now he was a girl anyway.

Did “little sister complex” even exist? Ruo Tianxin certainly didn’t have a “big brother complex.” Ruo Xiaoxi had never had any weird thoughts about his sister; being too close felt like it precluded any inappropriate intentions.

Of course, appreciating his sister’s beauty was a different matter!

“You little…!” Ruo Tianxin clenched her fists, wanting to punch Ruo Xiaoxi. She felt strangely insulted, as if her brother was implying she lacked feminine charm.

“Then I’ll impose on you. I also want to see what my brother, now sister, does all day.”

“Nothing much. Play games, flirt with older sisters, occasionally read a book.” Ruo Xiaoxi casually walked back to her chair; her game was still running.

Lan Yinuo had finished lunch but left her character idle, chatting in the guild channel.

“Pfft, ‘flirt with older sisters’,” Ruo Tianxin snorted, dragging her suitcase into the room and placing it by the closet, taking out some toiletries and clothes.

Ruo Xiaoxi stared at her sister as she unpacked, making Ruo Tianxin feel uneasy.

“Why are you staring at me?” Ruo Tianxin asked, adjusting her bra strap as she straightened up. “If you’re bored, help me unpack.”

“Nothing… it’s just, I thought you’d have a bigger reaction to me becoming a girl… I thought it would be a disaster, I even tried to hide…”

“Why? You explained everything, so I just accepted it and promised to keep your secret.”

“Really… doesn’t it feel weird?”

“You’re still my brother, just… a sister now. I love you the same way I always have, and besides… hee hee, now that we’re both girls, we’ll have more in common.”

“Eek! I’m not your dress-up doll!”

Ruo Xiaoxi sensed impending doom.

“Putting embarrassing little dresses on my brother (whispers). Speaking of being girls, I just remembered I have something you can use too. I brought it with me; I’ll show you tonight~”

“Not interested,” Ruo Xiaoxi said, folding her arms.

“Ah! You’re secretly playing JX3 without me again!” Ruo Tianxin’s attention was suddenly drawn to the computer screen. Ruo Xiaoxi had introduced her to the game.

“Want to play together later? There’s a cute girl online.”

“Oh yeah! Let’s go! I’ll join you after I unpack and charge my laptop. What kind of cute girl? I’ll help you get her!”

32. How Many Lolis Do You Eat in One Sitting?

My brother has become such a weak little girl, how disappointing.

The thought of her once formidable opponent now so delicate filled her with a strange sense of regret.

“I’m so sad. My brother will never be able to beat me again,” Ruo Tianxin sighed dramatically.

“Could you at least stop grinning while saying you’re sad? And it’s not certain yet. I have big plans. As a vampire, I have to become strong.”

Even if, even if, she only learned one spell!

It would be enough to quell her little sister’s arrogance.

Tidal magic and meow meow magic don’t count!

“What do you think would happen… if I told Mom and Dad about this interesting development?”

“Ah!? No! You can’t!” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes widened, and she waved her hands frantically.

“Eh~ I’m curious how they’d react. So, let me blackmail you, brother. Grant me a long-held wish, and I’ll keep your secret.”

“Ah… no, Tianxin, we can’t…”

“What can’t we do?”

“Because… because, well, we’re sisters.”

Ruo Xiaoxi fidgeted shyly, her fingers twirling, her words saying no, but her body language hinting otherwise.

Ruo Tianxin, initially confused, suddenly blushed furiously. She punched her brother on the head, her eyebrow twitching.

“Stop acting so cute, or I’ll really hit you…”

It felt so strange, a sudden, unexpected pressure.

She had been the only girl in the family, and it had never bothered her. Now, with this adorable older sister, she felt a sense of… crisis.

It couldn’t be that she was afraid of being less cute than her brother!

And where did he learn those charming expressions and subtle, manipulative gestures? She, a real girl, couldn’t even pull those off; it was too embarrassing.

But… it was also strangely alluring. Why did her brother, as a girl, exude such strong green tea vibes?

Ruo Tianxin punched Ruo Xiaoxi’s head a few more times, then grabbed her ahoge. Even her hair is trying to act cute, so annoying! I’ll pull it!

“Ow, ow, ow! Tianxin, stop pulling my hair!”

Ruo Xiaoxi winced, stumbling towards her sister. Ruo Tianxin, with a haughty hmph, released the long strand of hair.

Ruo Xiaoxi quickly patted her head, carefully smoothing down her hair, but the moment she let go, the ahoge sprang back up.

This ahoge appeared randomly; she had no idea why.

Sometimes she’d wake up with a crescent-shaped ahoge sticking up, sometimes it would lie flat. Does an ahoge even sleep?

“How about this, my wish isn’t unreasonable. I just want to experience what it’s like to be the older sibling. Just call me ‘older sister,’ and I’ll be your secret keeper. If Mom and Dad ask, I’ll cover for you.”

“Call you older sister? What are you thinking, silly girl?” Ruo Xiaoxi said, her tone defiant despite her meek demeanor.

“Huh? Then you’re definitely calling me older sister! Or I’ll tell Mom and Dad that you like lolis so much, you shamelessly turned yourself into one!”

Well, that’s a flawed argument.

But calling her younger sister “older sister”? Absolutely not.

She could sweetly call other older sisters, even those her age, and cling to them affectionately.

But not her little sister. This was her last shred of dignity as a girl!

She had to maintain some authority in front of her sister…

“Are you going to call me older sister or not? Just once, let me hear it.” Ruo Tianxin tugged on her ahoge again.

“Ow, ow, ow! Older sister, older sister!”

“Hmm… that sounds kind of nice. Say it again.”

“Ruo Tianxin, you’re cheating! You’re so mean! I’m going to punch you!”

“How dare you! Slandering your cute little sister! All the other girls are so mean to you, but I’m so nice, always caring for my brother!”

“Is this how you care for your brother?”

“Then how should I care for you? Carry you to the bedroom and show you some real caring? Pervert!” Ruo Tianxin said with a grin. And what’s this about sisters not being allowed? What kind of dirty thoughts are you having?

If Ruo Xiaoxi was going to act cute, then so would she. She could be just as affectionate.

They could have a cuteness battle and see who died of moe first.

The sisters had a habit of teasing and bickering. After a lively exchange, Ruo Tianxin, having heard Ruo Xiaoxi’s explanation, reluctantly accepted the fact that her brother was now her sister.

Besides, even if she didn’t accept it… who was this pretty little girl standing in front of her?

If she wasn’t her brother, she’d find a way to take this cute little loli home with her.

“So, bro, what are you going to do now? Do you need me to support you?” Ruo Tianxin asked, crossing her legs elegantly and leaning back on the sofa.

Ruo Xiaoxi’s gaze involuntarily drifted to her sister’s bare legs, exposed by her summer dress. Tianxin looks rather pretty today…

“I’m asking you a question. Why are you staring at my legs? Don’t you have your own pair of beautiful legs to look at?” Perhaps feeling self-conscious, Ruo Tianxin pushed Ruo Xiaoxi’s face away.

The topic of her future suddenly made Ruo Xiaoxi serious.

“You probably… can’t afford me.”

“Oh really? How many lolis do you eat in one sitting?”

 

31. This Vampire Isn’t Scary At All

“They’re really… gone. So flat, and soft…” Ruo Tianxin said, stunned, confirming the transformation was complete. Her brother truly had become a girl.

Ruo Xiaoxi’s face turned crimson, and she practically jumped off the sofa, covering herself with her hands. She felt strangely violated by her sister’s matter-of-fact assessment.

“Amazing… I have a new older sister, and my brother is gone!”

“Yep, gone!”

Ruo Tianxin studied Ruo Xiaoxi anew, taking her hand and gently squeezing her delicate fingers, looking down at her fair, slender legs, then poking her cheek.

Ruo Xiaoxi immediately poked her back.

“…” Ruo Tianxin looked at her, then poked her cheek again. Ruo Xiaoxi retaliated instantly. Ruo Tianxin poked her again, even faster.

Suddenly, a strange poking war ensued, their cheeks turning red.

“Bro, don’t push it! I can beat you up now! We’ll see who’s stronger!” Ruo Tianxin put her hands on her hips, glaring at Ruo Xiaoxi.

Before, her brother could easily pin down both her hands with one of his. Now, he was so small, their height and build almost the same. Perhaps a fight was in order to re-establish the hierarchy.

Although she was reluctant to admit it… her brother was kind of cute as a girl…

“Bro, you seem to have adapted to being a girl quite well. Your voice is so soft and cute, you’re even wearing thigh-high stockings. Aren’t you embarrassed to wear girls’ clothes anymore? Pervert!”

“What else am I supposed to wear now that I’m a girl!? And it’s been a while since I transformed. I was really embarrassed to go out at first! I was so self-conscious, but then…”

“Then?”

“…I realized I was cute, and I wanted to dress up even more.” Ruo Xiaoxi tucked her hands between her legs, fidgeting shyly.

Whoa! Ruo Tianxin felt a sudden jolt.

Help, even though I know this girl is my brother, seeing her acting all shy and embarrassed is so cute! I just want to hug her!

No, Ruo Tianxin, calm down, this is your brother! He used to be a boy!

Don’t be fooled by appearances!

“Wait, you even filled in your eyebrows!” Ruo Tianxin, being a girl herself, noticed the subtle makeup.

Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes widened, startled by her sister’s surprised reaction.

She had only lightly filled in her brows, using a subtle color and brush, yet her sister had noticed.

“Wh-what? Is there something wrong with that!? I’m a girl now!” Ruo Xiaoxi argued.

“No, it’s fine… of course it’s fine.” Ruo Tianxin’s expression shifted from surprise to something… knowing, a hint of amusement in her eyes, her lips curving into a smile. “Hee hee.”

“W-what are you laughing at!? Just say it!”

“Nothing, nothing, just… I understand~”

“Understand what? Just tell me what you’re thinking!”

“Really, nothing~ What kind of opinions could a naive little sister have~?”

Ruo Tianxin’s teasing tone made Ruo Xiaoxi blush furiously. Being a girl by herself wasn’t a big deal; she just treated herself as one.

But being questioned by her sister like that, with that knowing look…

Suddenly, she was overwhelmed with embarrassment!

“So, you’re a legendary little vampire now? Sounds scary, but you look so cute. How are you supposed to scare anyone? Kill them with cuteness?”

“Why would I… scare people!? Do I get candy or something if I scare them? Hmph, I have my own ways of making a living.”

“But you look just like a normal person.”

“That’s because I’m hiding it. Want to see? But don’t be scared.” Ruo Xiaoxi stood up, as if preparing for a transformation.

Ruo Tianxin felt a flicker of fear. What if she suddenly turns into a huge vampire? Like a vampire count in a black cape…

Crimson eyes rising like a blood moon, the aura of a supernatural being, like dark, coiling vines, reaching out to seize her with the fear of the unknown…

She clutched her shirt, wanting to scream but unable to make a sound.

“Ha!” With a soft grunt and a poof, a pair of small wings appeared behind Ruo Xiaoxi.

“Whoa!” Ruo Tianxin yelped, bracing herself to be scared. But… she paused, then looked closer. They were just small, black wings.

Nothing dramatic happened, just a pair of wings appearing as if by magic.

They looked underdeveloped, not scary at all!

The wave of fear that had been about to engulf her receded completely. Ruo Tianxin looked at Ruo Xiaoxi, who was striking a dramatic pose, with an expression of utter bewilderment.

That’s it? That’s all you’ve got, a pair of tiny wings?

She had been expecting something terrifying, a pair of massive black wings blotting out the sun, staining the sky crimson. It turned out she had been scaring herself.

“Eh? Aren’t they amazing?” Ruo Xiaoxi, noticing her sister’s expression, shifted her weight, flapping her little wings, trying to make them seem more impressive.

“Your wings… they’re so small, and they’re on your lower back. How should I put this…” Ruo Tianxin searched for the right word, then blurted out, “Cute.”

“C-cute…? Don’t they look menacing? I’m a vampire, a vampire.”

“Nope, little vampire, you’re not scary at all. Vampires drink blood, right? Going out at night to hunt for prey? With that cute look, you’ll be captured as a pet before you even find any prey.”

“Aaaaaah, you’re insulting me!” Ruo Xiaoxi considered herself a vampire, fantasizing about becoming all-powerful and saving the world.

She hadn’t expected to be mocked by her own sister!

Ruo Xiaoxi lunged at her sister, wanting to show her the power of a vampire’s fist.

But her arm was just a bit too short. Ruo Tianxin easily blocked her with one hand, letting the little vampire loli flail uselessly.

Her punches didn’t connect, but her little wings flapped angrily behind her.

Ruo Tianxin couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from twitching upwards, her eyes filled with amusement and disdain. This vampire is so weak, even a steamroller would have a hard time.

After a moment of contemplation, struggling to contain her laughter, Ruo Tianxin uttered two words, with elegant composure and a hint of mockery, “That’s it?”

30. Onii-chan is So Creepy!

“H-hello…”

Ruo Tianxin offered a polite yet awkward smile, greeted the unfamiliar girl, brought her suitcase inside, and then quickly headed towards the bedroom.

Ruo Xiaoxi, left standing there dumbfounded, watched as her sister marched into her room, seemingly ignoring her presence completely.

Ruo Tianxin’s mind was racing. What’s going on? Why is there a strange girl in our apartment? And she’s only wearing a T-shirt and panties, like she just got out of bed.

How close are they to be dressed like that in someone else’s home!?

Oh no, oh no, oh no, my brother, living alone with no one to supervise him, has actually brought a girl home! If this is serious, I have to tell Mom and Dad!

No wonder you could bring a girl home but couldn’t answer my phone call.

Ruo Tianxin instantly transformed into a discipline inspector. She wouldn’t yell at the girl standing outside, but she would give her brother a good scolding. How could he bring a girl home?

“Bro!” she yelled, her voice echoing through the apartment.

Ruo Tianxin stopped at the bedroom door. There was only a desk and an empty chair, the computer still running a game. He must be home!

She looked around, suspecting her brother was hiding, too ashamed to face her. She checked the bathroom; no one there. Finally, she strode towards the large closet.

Ruo Tianxin pushed up her bell sleeves, revealing her slender, white forearms, ready to drag her brother out and give him a good thrashing. But the moment she opened the closet, she froze, staring at the contents in disbelief.

“Why are there only girls’ clothes?”

There weren’t many clothes, just three or four items, the closet mostly empty.

But those few items were all girls’ clothes: hoodies, dresses, and even a few cute bras.

Meanwhile, Ruo Xiaoxi, still standing awkwardly by the entrance, wondering why she had been so thoroughly ignored, watched as her sister emerged from the bedroom, a deep frown etched on her face.

Then, her sister’s confused gaze finally landed on her.

“Um, are you looking for something…?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked tentatively.

“My brother… where’s my brother? Where is he?” Ruo Tianxin was utterly baffled, spreading her arms wide. Where did he go!?

Ruo Xiaoxi scratched her cheek awkwardly, avoiding her sister’s gaze. “Because I’m right here. Of course, you wouldn’t find him in the bedroom…” she mumbled.

“Huh? W-what did you say?” Even a whisper couldn’t escape her sister’s sharp ears.

Ruo Tianxin stepped closer, placed her hands on the girl’s shoulders, and almost lifted her up.

Ruo Xiaoxi looked at her sister with innocent eyes, even batting her eyelashes for added cuteness.

Ruo Tianxin: “…”

Ruo Xiaoxi: “…”

Ruo Tianxin: “…?”

Ruo Xiaoxi: “…!”

“Bro, you’re disgusting, so disgusting!! Creepy!!!” Ruo Tianxin suddenly yelled, jumping back, looking like she wanted to grab her suitcase and flee.

Ah!? Ruo Xiaoxi was taken aback. This wasn’t the reaction she expected.

“W-why are you calling me disgusting?” she asked, bewildered.

“Oh my god, that voice is so cute, help, onii-chan is so creepy!!” Ruo Tianxin’s speech deteriorated into a flurry of expressive Japanese, her shock overwhelming her language centers.

“How am I disgusting? Eh? Why?” Ruo Xiaoxi spread her hands innocently, her mind filled with question marks. Shouldn’t her sister be overjoyed and hug her?

Why was her sister looking at her with disgust and backing away? I’m pretty cute as a girl, aren’t I? Although it is a bit embarrassing being seen like this by my sister.

“Help, he’s a lolicon! Bro, I thought you were just an ordinary, everyday lolicon!”

“What’s a ‘not ordinary’ lolicon!? And I’m not one!”

“You are! Because you like cute, petite girls! Looking at 2D girls isn’t enough for you anymore? You actually, actually turned yourself into a loli!”

Ruo Xiaoxi’s eye twitched.

Doctor, I consent to organ donation. My sister has a cold. Doctor, I consent.

“What kind of twisted logic is that!? If I had that kind of power, why wouldn’t I have become a girl sooner!?” Ruo Xiaoxi exclaimed, her face turning red.

“How should I know why you didn’t do it sooner!?”

“Hey! We’re not even on the same wavelength! Get back to the topic! And come back here, don’t run away with your suitcase!”

“How do I know you won’t target me next? I’m pretty and petite! I, I don’t feel safe around you!”

“If you don’t feel safe around your own brother, where will you feel safe!?”

The siblings—no, the sisters—yelled at each other for a while, until Ruo Tianxin was momentarily stunned by Ruo Xiaoxi’s last remark and finally calmed down.

The two girls sat on the sofa, silent.

They were so awkward with each other, not like siblings at all, but more like a couple on an incredibly awkward first date…

“So… why?”

“I got bitten by a mosquito.”

“What kind of mosquito?”

“A really big mosquito.”

“How big?”

“About your size.”

“What kind of rainforest mosquito flew into your house?”

“I don’t know. Maybe it was a bat from another world.”

“What did it look like?”

“A loli.”

“Are you still half-asleep?”

“Do I look half-asleep?”

“Oh, then I must be half-asleep.”

“Wake up! This isn’t a dream!”

Ruo Xiaoxi tried to gradually explain the unusual circumstances, but Ruo Tianxin was clearly struggling to accept that her brother had become her sister.

No, I have to tell Mom and Dad!

Raising a child, you give birth to a son, and he turns into a daughter.

But Ruo Xiaoxi, sensing her sister’s thoughts, had already warned her not to tell their parents.

“So, how did getting bitten by a mosquito or bat turn you into a girl!?” Ruo Tianxin asked, still bewildered, looking at the cute girl in front of her, who was now almost the same height as her.

She looked down. Whoa, and her breasts are quite impressive, so round and full.

Even bigger than mine, how is that fair?

She almost wanted to reach out and pinch them, just to feel them.

“It was a vampire loli, and I wasn’t a match for her. I was attacked in my sleep; I let my guard down.”

“You’re really… a girl now?”

“Yes, absolutely. Do you think this body looks like a boy’s?”

“Then let me touch.”

“Ah… ah? Wait, what are you touching!? W-wait, nya!“

29. A Sister Transformed, Awe-Inspiring

At the Tian Tan City high-speed rail station, the gates slid open, and a young woman emerged.

Dressed in a light, mint-blue chiffon dress, she lifted a delicate white hand from the lace-trimmed, bell-shaped sleeves and gracefully opened a parasol.

Her other hand pulled a suitcase. She planned to stay with her brother for a couple of days, so she had packed a few changes of clothes. His apartment wasn’t big, but it had two bedrooms.

“Is this the right stop? It’s so hot…” Stepping out of the air-conditioned train car, Ruo Tianxin felt sweat beading on her forehead, regretting the long-sleeved dress.

Summer is such a seductive little imp, always tempting girls to wear less and less.

Honestly, in this heat, my brother couldn’t even come pick me up? He hung up the phone so quickly, didn’t even let me finish.

Ruo Tianxin frowned slightly, a little annoyed.

Thankfully, she knew her brother’s address and how to get there.

Her ivory-white legs were particularly eye-catching in the summer heat, drawing lingering glances. Ruo Tianxin crossed her legs and sat down on a bench in the shade of a tree, waiting for a taxi.

While she waited, she took out a compact mirror and checked her reflection, smoothing her slightly windblown bangs and pursing her lips.

Well, I still look pretty.

But the thought of putting so much effort into her appearance just to visit her brother made her feel a little silly.

They saw each other every day at home; it never seemed to matter before.

Being apart for a while made her want to look nice for her brother. Perhaps this is a girl’s inherent love of beauty. But her brother would probably be at home in his boxers, looking like a slob.

Ruo Tianxin smoothed her skirt and bent down to tighten the laces of her white sneakers. She had loved playing jianzi (shuttlecock) as a child and had always preferred sneakers with slightly elevated soles.

Once in the taxi, she considered calling her brother again, but then put her phone away.

She had already told him she was coming, and she would be there soon.

She would surprise him. His little sister suddenly appearing at his door, looking so beautiful. She could already imagine his surprised and flustered expression. A sister transformed, awe-inspiring!

………………

Meanwhile, back at the apartment, Ruo Xiaoxi was in a race against time, panicking about what to do when her sister arrived, or rather, what her sister would do when she saw her!

Ruo Xiaoxi frantically looked for a closet to hide in.

Hiding a beauty in a golden house… and that beauty is me.

After a moment of self-imposed confinement in the closet, she realized it wasn’t a solution. Her sister had traveled all this way; she couldn’t just shut the door on her. She couldn’t avoid her forever.

And her protective instincts as an older brother kicked in. Although her sister was older now and capable of traveling alone to a different city, she still worried and wanted her to arrive safely.

This conflicting desire for her sister to arrive quickly yet also hoping for a delay made Ruo Xiaoxi so anxious she had to use the bathroom. After sending a quick message to Lan Yinuo, she ended the video call and dashed to the toilet, legs crossed.

Lan Yinuo, eating lunch, felt her phone vibrate. She checked the message and saw that Ruo Xiaoxi’s sister was visiting, so they would play games later.

So Xiaoxi has a younger sister, Lan Yinuo thought as she chewed her food, replying with an “Okay.” But if her sister was visiting, maybe they could all play together.

“What am I going to do…?”

Ruo Xiaoxi sat in the bathroom, clutching her phone, watching the minutes tick by, her anxiety growing. How was she going to explain this to her sister?

Her brother had suddenly turned into a girl; what would Tianxin think…?

Staring at the white panties pooled around her ankles, she thought hard, and finally, calmed down, pulling them up and standing up straight.

There’s nothing to panic about. Your brother just turned into a girl, that’s all. This is a test for your sister. As long as you act calm and collected, the one who’ll feel the pressure is Ruo Tianxin.

If you can’t solve the problem, just shift the problem to your sister!

Anyway, her sister was a guest, so she should tidy up the place first.

A clean and organized home would lift everyone’s spirits.

Ruo Xiaoxi gathered the clothes hanging on the chair and tossed them into the washbasin. Living alone, she didn’t have a washing machine and usually hand-washed her clothes; it wasn’t a big deal.

She mopped the floor, rearranged the scattered cushions on the sofa, and placed a vase of flowers on the coffee table, trying to create the illusion of a refined young lady.

As for lewd manga or strange tissues, Ruo Xiaoxi didn’t have any, nor did she know where to get them.

She hadn’t needed them lately! She had been spending all her time with Sister Xia, and when she was alone, she… she hadn’t felt the need to indulge in such worldly desires.

Finally, she placed a pair of slippers in her sister’s favorite color by the door. Although this was her sister’s first time visiting, this was still home, a place where family resided. Calling it “coming home” wasn’t wrong.

After finishing her chores, she looked down at her simple T-shirt and panties. Just as she was about to go change into a dress…

The sound of a key turning in the lock echoed from the door.

Ruo Xiaoxi froze, holding the cleaning cloth, standing awkwardly by the entrance.

“Bro, I’m here! Come greet your little sister! My suitcase is heavy… Hmm—?”

As the door opened and Ruo Tianxin saw a beautiful, unfamiliar girl standing there, her eyes widened in disbelief, a long, drawn-out sound of questioning escaping her lips.

Her imaginative mind instantly conjured up a ten-thousand-word story.

—It’s okay, bro, I’ll help you raise your niece.

No, no, no, it’s too early! Too early!!!

Ruo Xiaoxi trembled, her face flushing crimson under her sister’s gaze.

Her eyes darted around like a startled rabbit, her hands clasped in front of her, her fingers fidgeting nervously.

The two beautiful girls stared at each other in silence, caught in the awkwardness of the moment.
