Chapter 149: Senior Brother, Is It Complicated to Pamper Junior Sister?
“Hu~~”
After returning to their respective bedrooms with Feng Yu Die, Xiao Yunluo no longer felt like taking a bath. Upon entering, she went straight to the bedside, took a small leap, and flopped onto the bed, rolling around for a moment as she gazed at the ceiling.
She slowly raised her hand and placed it on her forehead, replaying the scene in her mind where Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue kissed each other in the corridor.
The night had already deepened. Due to the previous chaos, Xia Chan was nowhere to be seen, and the room was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
—“Hiss—Ayaya~ It hurts…”
Suddenly, a pained cry from the other room pierced through the wall, and Xiao Yunluo frowned instantly, cursing back:
“Second! I’m trying to sleep!!”
—“Oh! Senior Sister Xiao, I’m applying medicine… I’m sorry, I won’t shout again!”
“Hu—”
Xiao Yunluo lightly exhaled, flinging her small embroidered shoes off her feet, and turned to tightly hug the blanket on the bed.
The soft sensation against her chest gradually calmed her down.
And this calmness told her that she might still have a chance.
Xiao Yunluo tossed her thick light purple hair over her shoulder, remembering just before Ye Anping kissed Pei Lianxue, when Ye Anping had hugged her from behind, burying his face in her hair and taking a gentle breath.
There was no doubt that at that moment, Ye Anping was truly taken with her.
Otherwise, how could he have made such an intimate gesture?
She covered her nose with her hair, taking a light sniff, trying to find Ye Anping’s lingering scent, but unfortunately, she had sprayed too much perfume earlier, rendering it completely untraceable.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have sprayed so much perfume… Ye Anping said my natural fragrance was pleasant, hmm…”
—“Senior Sister Xiao, do you have any Fire Stone?! I ran out, lend me some!”
“ ”
Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and shouted:
“No!! I said, I’m trying to sleep!!”
—“Oh…”
Xiao Yunluo shot a glare at the wall before burying her face into the quilt, biting her lips, and rolling around in the bedding.
“Wuuu~~~~”
Then, she made a sword finger with her hand, slightly flicking it, and the Storage Bag on the bedside table floated into the air. A beautifully illustrated book with a damaged cover flew out from the bag and landed in her hands.
The pages rustled as they flipped, and Xiao Yunluo’s eyes moved left and right until she finally found the illustration she was looking for.
In the image, two little ink figures embraced each other, with a caption on the right that read: “Dog Stands by the Spring River.”
It was just like the moment when Ye Anping had hugged her from behind.
She placed herself and Ye Anping in the illustration, gently arching her body, half-closing her eyes as if slightly intoxicated, and finally, she slowly closed her eyes.
—A spring gushed forth from the mountain peak, cascading down as a waterfall.
“Hmm…”
—“Senior Sister Xiao, what are you doing? What’s that sound? Are you hurt? Do you want me to come help?”
The voice from Feng Yu Die next door crashed into her bubbling spring of emotions like a falling stone, forcing the water back underground.
Xiao Yunluo suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her left eye twitched. Unable to resist, she made a sword finger and called forth a Spirit Sword from the Storage Bag.
Boom—
The Spirit Sword suddenly pierced through the wall, wedged between the bricks, with the tip reaching into Feng Yu Die’s bedroom.
—“Yikes~~”
“Tsk…”
Xiao Yunluo clicked her tongue lightly. Her elegant mood had been completely ruined by Second, and she had no heart left to cultivate it. She reluctantly put the illustrated book back into the Storage Bag and then laid flat on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, muttering softly:
“Ye Anping… why are you so annoying? I can’t stand you the most.”
Before long, drowsiness took over, her eyes slowly closed, and she drifted into a dream.
… …
————
Meanwhile, Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes, momentarily confused as he looked around, realizing he had returned to his bedroom in Jiang Mansion. It still felt surreal, but as he glanced down at the night clothes he wore, he gradually recalled what had happened earlier.
“Hu—”
Ye Anping sighed lightly, suddenly feeling a stir beneath the blankets.
Swoosh swoosh—
He looked down and saw his junior sister, who was resting her head against his chest, seemed to sense him waking up, and popped her little head out from the blankets.
Though there were no candles in the room, her orange eyes seemed to emit a faint glow, charming and bright.
Pei Lianxue blinked expectantly at him, as if she had been holding him all this time, waiting for him to wake up.
“… …”
Recalling the kiss he had shared with his junior sister, Ye Anping felt a bit helpless as his gaze instinctively shifted to her moist lips. After a long moment of silence, he finally asked:
“Junior Sister, do you understand the meaning of a kiss?”
Pei Lianxue paused, slightly shaking her head.
She simply wanted to kiss him; the feeling was nice, warm, and reassuring.
“Then let me enlighten you, a kiss is something only…”
Chu—
Before he could finish, Pei Lianxue wiggled like a little worm and pressed her lips against his.
Ye Anping was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit helpless, and continued saying:
“Only very close people can do this.”
“Mm.”
Chu—
Pei Lianxue kissed him again, as if asking: Aren’t we close?
“… …”
Ye Anping pursed his lips, feeling quite helpless, and decided not to explain further.
He gazed at his junior sister’s face, his brow furrowing slightly.
Indeed, she was a beauty—cute, obedient, and understanding. However, because he had watched her grow up, he had never felt any desire towards her.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Anping said, “Junior Sister, don’t kiss me yet. Let me try…”
“Mm?”
Pei Lianxue tilted her head slightly, feeling puzzled.
Ye Anping slowly lowered his nose to her collarbone, giving it a gentle sniff before pulling back his head, displaying a face full of helplessness.
Though it felt unfair to his junior sister, he truly couldn’t develop any thoughts toward her.
He tried closing his eyes, picturing the scene with Xiyue in the wedding chamber, and in an instant, a wave of heat surged from his chest.
There was no doubt; this was desire.
His adolescent body gradually reacted.
However, just as the tent was about to pitch up, Ye Anping hurriedly transformed the vision of Xiyue into Feng Yu Die, causing the tent to collapse instantly.
“… …”
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Anping tried to envision a scenario with Xiao Yunluo in the wedding chamber. Though not as intense as with Xiyue, a similar heat spread through his chest.
When the tent was almost ready to rise, he promptly switched the imagined Xiao Yunluo back to Feng Yu Die, forcibly tearing the tent down.
Finally, he attempted to envision a scene with his junior sister in the wedding chamber…
There was no heat in his heart, and his body showed no response, instead overwhelmed with unease and guilt.
Ye Anping frowned and quickly wiped the fantasies from his mind. He opened his eyes to meet the gaze of his junior sister staring back at him and let out a deep breath, slowly burying his head as he gently pecked her lips.
“Let’s sleep; we have things to do tomorrow.”
“Mm…”
Pei Lianxue nodded, snuggling closer to Ye Anping, and then buried her head back into the blanket.
Ye Anping felt slightly helpless but only embraced her, resting his chin on top of her head, closing his eyes.
He had finally understood that there was nothing complicated between him and his junior sister. There was no need to think too much or hesitate.
All he needed to do was one thing.
That thing was to pamper her and protect her.
—He would fulfill everything his junior sister wanted, as long as he could.
If his junior sister wanted a kiss, then he would kiss her.
The bond between him and his junior sister could not simply be labeled as “cultivation partners” or “lovers”; it was family, friends, and more.
His junior sister was unique, and that was all that mattered.
