Chapter: Chapter 9
“It’s been nearly an hour, hasn’t my sister finished bathing yet?” Bai Ya, who had been waiting in the living room after watching an episode of a TV drama, muttered to herself in confusion.
Although it was true that girls took a long time to bathe, her sister was clearly not an ordinary girl.
Bai Ya had imagined her sister to be the type to simply turn on the faucet, stand under the water, and consider it done. Yet, so much time had passed, and her sister still hadn’t emerged from the bathroom.
This sparked a sliver of curiosity in Bai Ya. Could it be that her sister was actually a girl who knew how to indulge herself?
With this thought, Bai Ya tiptoed to the bathroom door, intending to listen for any activity inside.
She shouldn’t have listened. The moment she did, Bai Ya’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Why were there sounds of other girls in the bathroom!
And that voice…it sounded like Qianqian Jie!
“Your hair is really well-maintained. I didn’t expect you to have this kind of leisure time.” That’s right, that voice, with a hint of cuteness mixed with a touch of disdain, was Qianqian Jie’s.
“Don’t touch there randomly.” Her sister’s voice seemed to carry a hint of shyness, which greatly surprised Bai Ya. Could her usually aloof sister actually get shy?
“You said before that it’s fine since we’re both girls. Besides, weren’t you the one who asked me to help you wash? What, are you regretting it now?”
“I didn’t ask you to wash *there*.”
“Alright, then you can do it yourself.”
“…Turn your head around.”
“Okay, okay, Miss Bai.”
The conversation from inside the bathroom caused Bai Ya’s small face to turn crimson. Even though she wasn’t exactly a pure and innocent young girl, her mind was now filled with countless romantic fantasies.
She never would have imagined that Qianqian Jie and her sister were in *that kind of relationship*. She had always thought they were enemies, but instead…instead, it was *this* kind of relationship?
Considering her sister’s cold personality, Bai Ya had already mentally conjured a fifty-two-episode epic romance drama.
Qianqian Jie, could she possibly be her sister-in-law?!
Heavens, this news was too explosive.
Bai Ya squatted by the bathroom door, carefully controlling herself to make not a single sound. She wanted to know what else her sister and Qianqian Jie would say.
She listened for another half hour.
When Bai Ling walked out of the bathroom wearing a white nightgown, her body still carrying the mist from the shower, she immediately saw her flushed sister.
Little Ya had been outside the bathroom the whole time?
Bai Ling’s own face couldn’t help but begin to turn red. She thought about her conversation with Leticia just now. It was one thing for only the two of them to hear those words, but she never imagined the walls had ears.
“Little Ya… you heard everything?”
“Mm,” Bai Ya nodded, covering her face.
“We don’t have any relationship. I was just letting her help me with something,” Bai Ling attempted to explain.
But her explanation sounded so weak and unconvincing to Bai Ya.
Help with something?
Helping someone bathe wasn’t just “helping with something”!
The thought of her sister and Qianqian Jie being naked together, with Qianqian Jie smirking and touching her sister all over… Wow, Bai Ya didn’t know who to envy.
“Sister, I’m not a child anymore, I understand everything.” Bai Ya took a deep breath and stood up from the floor. “Since this is your decision, I will absolutely not object.”
“Qianqian Jie is a good person. If she becomes my sister-in-law, I can accept it.”
A huge question mark appeared over Bai Ling’s head. Sister-in-law? What exactly was in Bai Ya’s head?
Her relationship with Leticia couldn’t be called irreconcilable, but it was certainly bordering on mortal enemies.
Her seeking Leticia’s help this time was purely to maintain her image in Bai Ya’s eyes. But it seemed things had gone awry?
In Bai Ya’s eyes, her image seemed to be hurtling in some bizarre direction.
“Her and I, our relationship is not good.”
“You broke up before, right? I know, but Sister, you still have a chance to win Qianqian Jie back. You must work hard and don’t let other seductive bitches snatch Qianqian Jie away.” Trapped in her thought loop, Bai Ya could no longer hear Bai Ling’s explanations.
In her opinion, all of her sister’s explanations were just a way to hide her guilt.
Logically, if her sister and Qianqian Jie weren’t intimately involved, how could her usually so aloof sister let Qianqian Jie help her bathe?
“Speaking of which, where is Qianqian Jie?” Bai Ya poked her head into the bathroom but couldn’t find the other protagonist.
“She’s already left.” Bai Ling gave up on refuting. If Bai Ya wanted to think that way, so be it. Relying on her almost zero eloquence to change her sister’s mind was practically impossible.
“Left… but I didn’t even see Qianqian Jie come out.”
“She has some special abilities.” Bai Ling’s explanation was brief.
Nowadays, it wasn’t uncommon for people to possess various peculiar abilities. It wasn’t something that needed to be kept a secret.
“Superpowers?! Qianqian Jie is a superpower user?!” Bai Ya was shocked. That Qianqian Jie, who spent her days at home playing games, was actually a superpower user!
Wait, does that mean Sister…
“Yes, I used to be.” Bai Ling nodded. “But now, I’m just an ordinary person.”
