Chapter 61: Sister and Questions
The two-week vacation in the Southern Kingdom had ended. Thinking back, it felt like quite a few things had happened.
I experienced my first, second, and third… uh, cough, I also reunited with Zi’ai. The last few days were very enjoyable.
Although there was a bizarre encounter midway, I found out that not much time had passed after my return. It was as if I had gone to another world. If Zi’ai hadn’t returned with me, and if my shoulder had actually been bitten off, I might have thought I was dreaming.
But overall, it was a very fulfilling trip, leaving no regrets.
Time flowed by like this, July ended on the small island of the Southern Kingdom, and the real summer vacation, August, had arrived. … I wanted to say that, but it actually felt like quite some time had passed since returning from the trip.
Speaking of which, what day is it today?
I maintained my position lying on the bed, scratching my butt, and reached out for my phone on the desk, but I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time.
Huh? Where is my phone?
Ah, I remember, my phone exploded. Although I don’t have many contacts, losing my phone in modern times is like losing half my abilities.
There was no calendar in the room. There should be one hanging in the living room, but I was too lazy to go down… Ah, at this moment, it would be great if my dear sister could come over.
Just then, Xinran pushed the door open and came in. It wasn’t telepathy or anything, she probably just calculated my wake-up time.
Xinran, who pushed open the room door, smiled affectionately at her brother and then pounced on him, intending to wake him up. … That was just my fantasy. My sister would never be that cute. If it were Keling, it might be possible… she might do something more extreme, but Xinran is a very calm sister…
But please don’t frown and look at your brother like he’s trash… Although I’ve been a bit sloppy lately, I’m still your brother.
“Brother, what are you doing?”
“Looking for… Oh right, Xinran, can you help me check what date it is today?”
Xinran answered without even looking.
“It’s already August 31st.”
“…What? Doesn’t that mean the summer vacation is ending in just a few days?”
Oh my god! What have I been doing? Why did summer vacation pass so quickly!
I remember we just returned from our trip not long ago, and it was just the beginning of August. But in the blink of an eye, August is already coming to an end.
I recall that school starts on September 4th. My summer vacation ends in three days… Summer homework,
I have to do it, I really have to do it.
“It’s because you almost sleep for a whole day every other day, that’s why you feel like time is passing quickly.”
“Ma… SF Light Novel”
Who told you I’m a walking dead man?
Time always slips away silently when we’re not paying attention. By the time we realize it, the gone time can no longer be retrieved.
But looking back, it wasn’t like I did nothing. Compared to previous idle summer vacations, this one was much more fulfilling. Many things happened this month, I helped friends resolve some issues, and I also experienced some strange things, but most of them were without major incident, leaving behind memories that bring a smile.
Memories are not deliberately created; they are what remains.
However, the main reason time passed so quickly was probably because I slept too much.
That’s right, as Xinran said, I slept through about half the time.
No, don’t get the wrong idea. When I say I slept through it, I don’t mean sleeping with women. I slept whenever I had free time to replenish my depleted spiritual power.
Like when an emergency happened yesterday, I was called in to help, and I didn’t return until dawn, having expended a lot of spiritual power. I could only recover by sleeping.
Although Lily said that meditation or sitting in silence could also restore spiritual power, it was too uncomfortable for me to just sit and do nothing.
Besides, I’m never idle when I’m awake, and I can’t calm down.
Someone is always looking for me, like Bing and Lan. They basically want to date me (for sex) every day, and they seem very eager. Of course, their intentions are very impure. If Zi’ai wasn’t watching, I would never be able to refuse them.
And Xuan’er, who became even more affectionate after losing her memory, also keeps coming to play with me. She and Xueqing cling to me, making me feel like a walking accessory.
On a side note, although Xuan’er doesn’t remember that promise, I still accompanied her to the comic convention. The result was another new black history of me wearing women’s clothes: it was a beautiful memory – perhaps.
However, there was one other very terrible thing. While I was in disguise, at Li Nai’s suggestion, Lily used magic on Zi’ai again, making her impersonate me for a cosplay. She even pulled others into it, pretending to be infatuated with ‘me’ and releasing a super large amount of flashbangs at the comic convention. The students of the school also knew that there was someone at our school named Juncheng An, who was popular with both lolis and onee-s, and didn’t even spare teachers and junior students. He was a scumbag who monopolized many beautiful girls and created a harem…
Because that was Zi’ai! And they are usually not so harmonious! They only cooperate so well, like sisters, when they are drunk and want to sleep with me. But at other times, they seem to be in a cold war, exuding a terrifying aura!
I really had no words to express my suffering. In short, all the overflowing hatred from everyone was focused on me… I estimate that a personal injury incident might be imminent…
Damn it, I don’t want to go to school anymore… School is about to start, so annoying…
However, thanks to Zi’ai, my life has become much more regular and restrained. After that, it was just a couple more times with everyone.
Young people should be more restrained. What’s proper about thinking about mating every day?
Although I have no right to say that…
The last time was three days ago, on Qixi Festival. I received a lot of chocolates. For the first time in my life, I received chocolates from someone other than my sister and mom, which moved me greatly. Although giving chocolates on Qixi Festival is worth complaining about, they said they wanted to make up for the regret of Valentine’s Day.
Well, after all, in February, I wasn’t familiar with them at all… Counting from when I first met Lianbing in March, looking at it this way, only half a year has passed, so it’s quite fast…
Then that night, Yu Hui, wearing cat-ear lingerie to surprise me, was so cute that my sanity broke. I kept her until…
I almost got caught by my sisters in bed…
Fortunately, it was Yu Hui. Xinran trusts Yu Hui very much. And after Yu Hui transferred to Keling’s class, Keling and Yu Hui’s relationship also improved a bit. At least it wasn’t as tense as it was at the beginning.
Although, maybe, probably, they still figured out that Yu Hui had already been ‘conquered’ by me.
Then, my month’s worth of efforts to coax my sisters went down the drain.
See, Xinran’s attitude has become so cold again because of this.
“Brother? Brother?”
Xinran seems to be calling me?
“Are you asleep again?”
No, I was just thinking about something.
“Asleep…?”
She waved her hand in front of my eyes, seemingly wanting to confirm if I was asleep. My position was still lying on the bed, and it was understandable that she mistook me for being asleep since she couldn’t see my expression.
I originally intended to respond, but I suddenly realized something and continued to pretend to be asleep.
After a long silence, I suddenly heard the sound of Jing Mi Cui Zhang, and then a naked body slipped into my quilt.
Sure…
The moment she turned my body over with her hands, I opened my eyes. Xinran, whose gaze met mine, showed a moment of panic but quickly composed herself and said to me.
“…I want to sleep with brother too. You promised me and Keling before, right?”
“Then why are you taking off your clothes?”
“You know I habitually sleep naked.”
She had used this excuse before, but it didn’t dispel my doubts, so I continued to ask suspiciously.
“Xinran, you didn’t do anything to me while I was asleep again, did you?”
Although since Keling’s true identity was revealed, Xinran basically stopped night-visiting me. Especially after I became a zombie, I was awake at night, so she had even less opportunity.
But you should know, Xinran had a five-year nightlife before! It was like an addiction. Every night she would sneak into my bed and then gradually cross the line while I was asleep.
And recently, in order to recover my spiritual power, I started sleeping again.
This is different from sleeping heavily before. I enforced sleep by taking an overdose of antidotes. It’s no different from taking sleeping pills. Once I fall asleep, I absolutely won’t wake up!
If Xinran did anything during this time, I really wouldn’t feel anything! And I definitely wouldn’t wake up.
“No.”
She answered in a second.
“Really no?”
“…No.”
This time she hesitated for half a second.
So there was!
I originally wanted to lecture her righteously, but thinking about my own actions, my conscience ached slightly. In the end, I could only sigh and reluctantly advised.
“Sigh, forget it, forget it… Anyway, I won’t know when I’m asleep. If you want to be more comfortable, your brother doesn’t mind. But, only that…”
Being a tool for my sister’s lust, while unreasonable, was at least not to the point of being irrecoverable.
“Mm, I know.”
Although Xinran nodded, I still asked worriedly.
“…You didn’t already do it, did you?”
“Two weeks ago, I almost couldn’t hold back…”
“Meaning you held back?”
She probably wasn’t lying. If I questioned her, she might show me her virginity certificate.
“It doesn’t count as holding back. It’s mainly because… brother smells like other women.”
“…..”
“That day, you came back and fell asleep immediately without showering, so I smelled it… It wasn’t the smell on the clothes, but the smell on your body, many smells mixed together…”
I had nothing to say, because I had indeed hugged many women.
I thought she would blame me, despise me, but she didn’t.
She just curled up and snuggled into my embrace, then looked up with a complex expression of loneliness and sadness and asked me.
“Can’t you?”
I gritted my teeth and answered.
“Xinran, what we’re doing now is already very abnormal… You are my sister, and you should be sensible, right?”
“What if I’m not your sister?”
“…Huh?”
She repeated seriously, word by word.
“What if I’m not… your biological sister?”
At that moment, the “(fake)” in her title caught my eye.
A massive amount of information instantly flooded my mind. Why was there a “(fake)” in the title? Did Xinran say something similar on April Fool’s Day? Why did I have feelings for Xinran but not for Keling? Keling was assigned to Class 1-1, which was crowded with anomalies, but Xinran wasn’t among them? Did Xinran already know something? Did Dad also have a private talk with Xinran, about what? Yu Hui’s past life memories included Xinran but not Keling, why?
Countless questions and clues merged, forming a question directed at my inner self.
Could it be that Xinran isn’t really my sister?
Seeing my stunned expression, Xinran seemed to resign herself, closed her eyes, shook her head, and said.
“…No, it’s nothing. Please forget it. Regardless of whether we have blood ties or not… I will always be your sister, brother.”
Then she reached out and hugged me, resting her head on my arm and said.
“So please hold me tight now, brother. As your sister, Xinran wants to act spoiled towards you.”
I also hugged Xinran, but didn’t dare to squeeze her tightly.
Although it seemed like reconciliation had been reached, the seed of doubt had been deeply planted…
Am I embracing, my sister?
