Chapter 4: My World Completely Collapsed
My breathing became a little rapid due to the excitement, my chest rising and falling. Xinran’s hand was resting on my chest, so it would be strange if I didn’t feel anything!
“Hmm…?”
Damn, she’s getting suspicious! If I wake up now, Xinran will surely kill me in her shame and anger! After finally hearing the title “Brother” from my sister, how could I possibly die like this!
Just as I was doing my best to remain calm, praying in my heart, ‘Please, please don’t find out I’m awake!’, the pressure on my chest suddenly disappeared. Then, an extremely gentle voice reached my ears: “Ah, I accidentally pressed on Brother’s chest, I’m sorry… It must have been uncomfortable… Should I rub it for you?” At the same time, the hand still on my chest began to move, and from its careful actions, I could feel Xinran’s meticulous concern.
…You see, life is truly wondrous. Living and living, one can encounter such unbelievable things… Ha, ha, ha…
Such a gentle sister, one can truly only see her in dreams…
Perhaps because the shock was too intense, I became completely out of sorts and didn’t even notice when Xinran left.
A lingering dampness from Xinran’s kiss remained on my cheek, and I couldn’t sleep until morning.
Are you kidding me? After something like that happened, how could I possibly sleep!
My sister! My sister actually! Cough, cough, cough, cough! Actually!
“…Hehehe…”
After a couple of dry laughs, I sat up and looked at the sunshine streaming through the window in confusion.
It was too terrifying, more terrifying than any nightmare… I really, really didn’t expect her to do this to me.
And judging by her practiced ease, and my inexplicable sense of familiarity, I could deduce that she had done this (night attack) countless times before…
Whoa, whoa, whoa, if that’s the case, I might not be a virgin anymore…?!
No, that can’t be. It shouldn’t have reached that extent. After all, she’s my biological sister, and Xinran isn’t that unreasonable. At least, she wouldn’t cross the boundary between siblings.
But her actions were indeed too intimate.
So intimate that I felt no joy at all, but rather fear! It was like a stranger I didn’t know suddenly showing me immense enthusiasm, leaving me completely unable to adapt.
What on earth is going on? If Xinran is really a brother-complex, why is she usually so indifferent to me… Is it her hobby?
In other words… is that title correct? But that bracketed “fake”… What the heck is that.
With complicated feelings, I got out of bed. The cup of coffee, completely untouched, caught my eye.
Speaking of which, how could Xinran be so sure I was asleep? It was already past two o’clock, and I might not have slept at all. Did she… drug me with sleeping pills or something…
“…”
I silently shook my head, poured the coffee into the trash can, then pulled out a lot of tissues and threw them into the trash can, so the coffee would be absorbed by the paper. Well… it looks like trash from too much… activity, but to hide the fact that I didn’t drink the coffee, this is the only way.
Let’s forget what happened in the middle of the night, just pretend nothing happened. Xinran must have been too stressed to act like that. I’ll find time to talk to her properly.
What I need to do now is get up, wash up, make breakfast, and be the same brother as always.
I opened the curtains, walked out of the room, and came to the second floor. At this hour, my sisters were not yet awake.
After washing up, I went to the first floor and entered the kitchen. I started making breakfast nervously. The ingredients were already prepared, probably by Mom before she left last night. I just needed to simply turn them into dishes. However, since I had to make breakfast and also lunch bento, it would take some time. But preparing two portions would be enough, as I always eat in the cafeteria. Making my own bento for myself is meaningless.
After finishing the two bentos, just as I was about to start making breakfast, a slightly hesitant voice came from behind, so soft that if I wasn’t paying attention, I might not have heard it at all.
“B-Brother? Why didn’t you come back last night… Where did you go?”
This soft, shy voice… I knew who it was instantly.
“Hmm? Ah, Keling, I accidentally overslept in the park last night. Ahaha, I made you worry… Ugh!”
I turned around with a bright smile to greet my other sister, An Keling, but what I saw made me freeze on the spot.
My sister, who shrunk her body and looked up at me, An Keling, with her short twin tails, also had a string of pink characters above her head. And because Keling was shorter, these characters were right in front of my eyes…
{The True Face of a Scheming Brother Complex Sister}
{An Keling}
Should I say it’s expected? Keling also had a name and a title above her head. The name was fine, but the title… it wasn’t ‘Obedient Type’, nor ‘Gentle Type’, nor ‘Cute Type’, but rather… ‘Scheming Type’!
Scheming!
No, this is impossible!
Younger Sister Keling is actually a scheming type! What a joke! The sister who always smiled and welcomed me back with a blushing face every time I came home, the sister who made a transparent person like me feel my existence, the sister who not only cared for her brother but also handed him chopsticks and poured water… Pfft!
The words “scheming” pierced my heart like a spear, making me in my mind spit out a mouthful of old blood!
At this moment, my world completely collapsed! My worldview was destroyed!
“…!!!”
Was the sister in my memory, who was incredibly well-behaved, just pretending!
No! I don’t believe it!
“B-Brother? What’s wrong? Didn’t you sleep well? You look pale?”
Keling leaned closer to me, looking at my stunned, pale face with an expression full of worry.
But I seemed to see behind that worried face, Keling sneering and saying, “Hmph, I give you a bit of a good face sometimes, and you’re already overjoyed. To think that such a hopeless guy is my brother, it’s disgusting! Gross!”
Th-that obedient and cute sister actually hates me too… I… I want to die…
“What are you doing?”
Xinran’s cold voice cut into my ears, jolting me out of my sorrowful mood.
“N-nothing, I just slept too late last night. Wait a moment longer, breakfast will be ready soon…”
“Are you really okay? Brother? Are you perhaps sick?”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
Keling still looked worried, so I quickly waved my hand, forced a smile, and turned back to continue making breakfast.
I was too afraid of my dazed expression being seen by Keling and Xinran…
During breakfast, I was still in a daze. Everything that happened after I woke up in the park was too unbelievable, causing my brain to completely short-circuit.
I was still in a stunned state even when I left the house. The sister who was originally extremely cold was actually a super severe brother-complex who would come for a night attack, and the sister who was originally gentle, well-behaved, kind, and cute was actually a scheming sister with evil thoughts in her head…
I, I, I no longer believe in the world!
