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!”
