8: Misunderstanding
"It's been almost an hour, why hasn't Sister finished bathing?" Bai Ya, who had finished watching an episode of a TV drama in the living room, muttered to herself in confusion.
Although girls needed a long time to bathe, her sister was clearly not an ordinary girl.
The sister in Bai Ya's heart should be the type to turn on the faucet, stand under the water to rinse off, and be done with it. But now so much time had passed, and her sister still hadn't come out of the bathroom.
This made Bai Ya a bit curious. Could it be that her sister was actually a girl who knew how to enjoy herself?
Thinking this, Bai Ya tiptoed outside the bathroom, planning to listen to the sounds inside.
It didn't matter that she didn't listen, but once she did, Bai Ya's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Why were there other girls' voices in the bathroom!
And this voice seemed to be Sister Qianqian's!
"Your hair is maintained very well. I didn't expect you to have such leisurely interests." That's right, this voice with a hint of mischief mixed with cuteness was Sister Qianqian's.
"Don't touch randomly." And her sister's voice seemed to carry a trace of shyness, which greatly surprised Bai Ya. Could that cold sister actually feel shy?
"You said it before—we're both girls, so it's fine. Besides, weren't you the one who asked me to help you bathe? What, having second thoughts now?"
"I didn't ask you to wash there."
"Fine, then you do it yourself."
"...Turn your head away."
"Okay, okay, Miss Bai."
The conversation in the bathroom made Bai Ya's little face turn red. The not-so-innocent little girl's mind was already filled with countless steamy scenes.
She hadn't expected Sister Qianqian and her sister to have this kind of relationship. She had thought they were enemies, but it turned out... it turned out to be this kind of relationship?
Considering her sister's cold personality, Bai Ya had already mentally constructed a fifty-two-episode romantic drama series.
Sister Qianqian might actually become her sister-in-law?!
My god, this news was too explosive.
Bai Ya crouched by the bathroom door, carefully controlling herself not to make a sound. She wanted to know what else her sister and Sister Qianqian would say.
She listened for about another half hour.
When Bai Ling walked out of the bathroom wearing a white nightgown with steam still clinging to her, she immediately saw her sister with a completely red face.
Had Little Ya been outside the bathroom the whole time?
Bai Ling's face also began to turn red uncontrollably. She thought of her conversation with Leticia just now. It would have been fine if only the two of them had heard it, but she never expected that walls have ears.
"Little Ya... heard everything?"
"Mm." Bai Ya nodded while covering her face.
"I have no relationship with her. I just asked her to help me with something." Bai Ling wanted to explain.
But her explanation sounded so weak and powerless to Bai Ya.
Help with something?
Helping someone bathe wasn't just ordinary help!
Thinking of her sister and Sister Qianqian being honest with each other in the bathroom, with Sister Qianqian smiling mischievously while touching her sister all over... Wow, Bai Ya didn't know who to envy.
"Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I know everything." Bai Ya took a deep breath and stood up from the floor. "Since this is Sister's decision, I absolutely won't oppose it."
"Sister Qianqian is a good person. If she becomes my sister-in-law, I can accept that too."
A huge question mark appeared above Bai Ling's head. Sister-in-law? What exactly was in Bai Ya's little head?
The relationship between her, Bai Ling, and Leticia couldn't be said to be incompatible—it could be said to be a fight to the death.
Her asking Leticia for help this time was simply to maintain her dignified image in Bai Ya's eyes, but it seemed... things had gone against her wishes?
The image of herself in Bai Ya's eyes seemed to be running wildly toward some strange direction.
"My relationship with her is very bad."
"You broke up before, right? I understand. But Sister, you still have a chance to win back Sister Qianqian. You must work hard and not let other scheming bitches steal Sister Qianqian away." Bai Ya, who had already entered a closed loop of thinking, could no longer hear Bai Ling's explanations.
In her view, all of her sister's explanations were to hide her guilt.
Think about it logically—if her sister and Sister Qianqian didn't have an intimate relationship, how could her cold sister possibly let Sister Qianqian help her bathe?
"Speaking of which, where is Sister Qianqian?" Bai Ya poked her head into the bathroom but couldn't find the other protagonist.
"She already left." Bai Ling gave up on arguing. If Bai Ya wanted to think this way, then let her think this way. With her almost zero eloquence, trying to correct her sister's thinking was basically impossible.
"Left... but I didn't see Sister Qianqian come out."
"She has some special abilities." Bai Ling was succinct.
Nowadays, humans with various strange abilities were no longer a minority, so it wasn't worth hiding.
"Superpowers?! Sister Qianqian is also a superpower user?!" Bai Ya was shocked. That Sister Qianqian who spent all day hiding at home playing games was actually a superpower user!
Wait, then could Sister be...
"Yes, I used to be one too." Bai Ling nodded. "But now, I'm just an ordinary person."
