14: Scolding
"The taste is quite good, just doesn't match the somewhat outrageous price." Elegantly swallowing the last piece of beef in her mouth, Leticia wiped her mouth and gave her evaluation.
Bai Ya had finished what she ordered long ago and was now watching her sister continuously stuff food into her mouth with wide eyes.
"See, I told you she could finish it." Leticia laughed heartily.
Bai Ling looked up and gave Leticia an eye roll. Although she was quite grateful that this guy had let her put aside her pride and eat a full meal, Miss Sword Saint still didn't want to accept this person's mockery.
Seeing that her sister still had quite a while left to eat, a somewhat bored Bai Ya's eyes rolled as she asked Leticia: "Sister Qianqian, was your relationship with Sister very good before?"
She was so curious about the story between her sister and Sister Qianqian.
"Good? In every sense, it couldn't be called good." Leticia shook her head. She and Bai Ling had only met once before, and that one time had almost become the last time.
"How should I put it? The relationship between her and me is probably like the relationship between the protagonist and villain in superhero movies."
"Eh?"
"You should have seen the recent 'Rainbow Squad 5,' right? I'm roughly like the Black Sorceress in that movie, and your sister is that Golden Warrior." Leticia made an analogy.
Bai Ya suddenly understood. So that's the kind of relationship between Sister and Sister Qianqian. "I get it."
She'd heard that the Black Sorceress and Golden Warrior would collaborate in the next movie and even have a romantic subplot. Sister Qianqian was definitely hinting at something.
Romantic subplot, hehe.
Leticia was somewhat dumbfounded. She didn't understand why Bai Ya suddenly started giggling, but her intuition told her that Bai Ya might have misunderstood.
"Anyway, the relationship between her and me is terrible. It wasn't good before, and it won't be good in the future." Leticia emphasized again.
"Mm-hmm, I understand." Bai Ya nodded seriously.
So Sister Qianqian was also a tsundere. She kept saying her relationship with Sister wasn't good, but her words were full of hints that she liked Sister.
"I can see you completely don't understand." Leticia was completely certain that Bai Ya had gotten the wrong idea. "My relationship with her is very bad. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Bai Ya tilted her head and showed Leticia a cute smile.
I get it, I get it. Don't want to lose face in front of Sister, right?
Sigh, to still see such a classic tsundere character in this day and age. Bai Ya felt she needed to make Sister Qianqian become bolder.
Tsunderes often lose out. Bai Ya quite liked Sister Qianqian. Having her as a sister-in-law would be pretty great.
"Ah..." Leticia covered her face. This girl completely wouldn't listen to explanations. "Little Bai, has your sister been watching too many TV dramas?"
Bai Ling, called Little Bai, had already wiped the grease from her hands with tissues. Hearing Leticia's words, she looked up and glared at Leticia with her crimson eyes. "Regarding this matter, I think you need to take responsibility."
If Leticia hadn't corrupted Bai Ya, would her well-behaved and cute sister have become like this?
"Don't you dare make false accusations! How did I corrupt Little Ya!" Leticia was indignant. Although she and Bai Ya were gaming buddies, she absolutely wouldn't accept the accusation of corruption.
Bai Ya had grown crooked on her own. What the hell did it have to do with her, Leticia?
"Your sister was already like this. If we're talking about responsibility, clearly your responsibility is much greater, right? The good sister who left her elementary school sister at home."
"Little Ya is a good child, so you're the one who corrupted her." Bai Ling admitted she wasn't a good sister, but she also believed that if that damn shut-in Leticia hadn't been living downstairs, Bai Ya definitely wouldn't have become like this.
"Where am I bad!" The supposedly corrupted Bai Ya raised her hand indignantly to speak.
"Adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."
"This is between her and me."
Then she was forcefully suppressed by the two big shots.
The wronged Bai Ya shrank into her chair and responded very quietly: "Oh."
Sister and Sister Qianqian are both so scary, wuu~
In the following time, Bai Ling and Leticia engaged in a war of words about various aspects of Bai Ya... roughly counting as a war of words.
The actual situation was Bai Ling coldly shifting blame for Bai Ya's shortcomings onto Leticia, then Leticia putting the blame back on Bai Ling's head.
Due to the huge gap in eloquence, Bai Ling had almost no ability to refute Leticia's blame-shifting.
In the end, Bai Ling angrily discovered that she was apparently supposed to take full responsibility for her sister's corruption, while Leticia had completely cleared herself of all blame.
As for Bai Ya?
The teary-eyed little girl was shutting herself away.
"So I'm a bad child in Sister's heart?"
"Not bad, not bad." Only now did Bai Ling realize what a stupid thing she had done. She had actually spoken her inner thoughts in front of her sister.
"Bad sister!" Obviously, Bai Ya was angry.
