“Is this entire table of food not enough for your reward?” Lin Lu rolled her eyes at Xiaoxi, wondering what kind of scheme she was cooking up this time.
“Eh~ that’s different.” Lin Xiaoxi held up a finger and wiggled it by saying, “This food is just my sister treating me to play, so you can’t lump them together~”
“Sigh… I really give up on you. What kind of reward do you want? Let’s be clear, I won’t agree to anything too excessive.”
Lin Lu stared at Lin Xiaoxi for a long time, but Lin Xiaoxi remained firm—she wouldn’t stop until she got her extra prize!
There was no helping it; Lin Lu could only sigh and compromise.
She couldn’t help it; this was her younger sister, so she just had to spoil her.
Besides, she was the one asking a favor from her sister right now, so she had to swallow her pride.
“Hmph hmph~” Lin Xiaoxi triumphantly put her hands on her hips, turned her face away, and poked her cheek with a finger.
“Sister has to kiss me, and you have to take me out to play when the holidays come.”
“That’s it?”
Lin Lu raised an eyebrow.
To be honest, she had already planned to take Lin Xiaoxi out during the holiday, so that request was nothing.
As for kissing her cheek…
They did that all the time when they were kids.
Although they stopped as they grew up, it wasn’t particularly embarrassing to do so now that she was a girl too.
“Mm-hm~ that’s it! How about it? Isn’t your dear sister being good to you? Do you have any thoughts about your super-duper invincible cute and thoughtful little sister?”
Lin Xiaoxi smiled and leaned her face in for Lin Lu to kiss.
“I think you’re looking for another punch from me.”
Lin Lu’s face flushed slightly.
She gave Xiaoxi’s cheek a light, butterfly-like kiss before clearing her throat.
“Ahem… eat! If we don’t eat now, the food is going to get cold.”
Watching her sister pick up her bowl and chopsticks to try and hide her inner embarrassment, her earlobes tinged with red, Xiaoxi felt her heart skip a beat.
‘Damn it! Is my sister a succubus? To think she could release such a powerful charm technique with just a small gesture! Hey! You wicked enchantress! I, Lin Xiaoxi, will make you help me cultivate today!’
In an instant, Lin Xiaoxi’s mind was filled with countless indescribable images.
Of course… Lin Xiaoxi only dared to imagine such things in her head.
After a while, she wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, finally retracted her gaze, and picked up her bowl to start eating.

“Is one quilt enough? Will you be cold at night?”
After cleaning up the dishes, the two watched TV for a while, and it was about time to sleep.
Lin Lu brought Xiaoxi to the guest room and pulled a quilt out of the closet.
“It’s enough, it’s enough.” Once Lin Lu finished laying out the quilt, Lin Xiaoxi kicked off her shoes and did a flying leap onto the bed.
“Go sleep in your own room, Sis. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“Alright, get to sleep early! No staying up late playing on your phone!” Lin Lu instructed before leaving.
“Oh, I know, I know! Why have you become as naggy as Mom, Sister?”
Lin Xiaoxi got off the bed to push Lin Lu out, waved her hand, and shut the door.
Lin Lu shook her head outside the door and returned to her own room to sleep.
Inside the room.
Lin Xiaoxi was lying on her stomach, checking her group chat on her phone, and casually sent a few beautiful photos of Lin Lu.
They were all shots Xiaoxi had secretly taken today.
She had captured the angles and lighting perfectly; some showed Lin Lu cooking earnestly, and others captured a golden, atmospheric glow from the sunset.
[Xiaoxi, where did you get these nice photos? Who is this beauty?]
[Diexi (Lin Xiaoxi): Hehe, this is my sister! My real sister~ How about it? Jealous now!]
The group went quiet for a few seconds, followed by a flurry of question marks.
[???]
[???]
[Xiaoxi, stop blowing smoke. We’ve never even heard of you having a sister!]
[Yeah, that’s right. If you really had a sister this pretty, you, being the sister-obsessed girl you are, would have shown her off already. You would have waited until now?]
[Impossible! Definitely impossible!]
Watching the shock and disbelief of her friends in the group, Lin Xiaoxi laughed until she was rolling on the bed, and she typed back.
[Diexi: She really is my sister! It’s just that she’s been at school, so I didn’t have any of her photos. I’m visiting her today, so I took them.]
[Lin Xiaoxi, you really are the worst!]
[Xiaoxi, or should I say, Auntie, introduce your sister to me!]
[Yeah! Anyway, you two are real siblings, so you can’t do anything with her anyway. Why let good fertilizer go to another field? Just introduce her to me!!]
[Diexi: Keep dreaming, all of you! My sister is mine; no one is allowed to take her!]
[Stupid sis-con, gross!]
[Stupid sis-con, gross!]
[Xiaoxi, you better not log into the team game, or just wait for us to deal with you!]
Lin Xiaoxi felt a sense of satisfaction watching her friends’ exasperation from behind the screen.
“Ding-dong~”
[Beloved Big Sister (Lin Lu): Xiaoxi, I checked and the school changed the schedule for tomorrow. There are no classes, so… do you want to go out tomorrow?]
[Lin Xiaoxi: Yes, yes! Just leave the planning to you, Sister!]
[Lin Lu: Okay, but a few friends will be coming along. Do you mind?]
[Lin Xiaoxi: Huh? How many? Men or women? Sister, you can’t let yourself be fooled by some bad guy so easily!!]
[Lin Lu: If you talk nonsense again, I’m throwing you out.]
[Lin Lu: There are three of them, all women. They heard you were coming and were curious to meet you, so we’ll all hang out together.]
[Lin Xiaoxi: Alright, I have no objections. Wherever Sister goes, I go!]
[Lin Lu: Good. I’ll make the arrangements. Get some sleep.]
[Lin Xiaoxi: Mm-hm! You sleep early too, Sister. Goodnight!]
[Lin Lu: Goodnight.]

Setting her phone aside, Lin Lu closed her eyes.
The moonlight from outside shone through the gap in the curtains, painting a silver-white line on the floor.
“Yo~ your little sister says some startling things, hahahaha!” Lilith emerged from the bracelet and flapped her wings, mocking Lin Lu.
“Isn’t a sister born to be a wife to her younger sister? Hahaha, I’m dying! I approve of this marriage!”
“Get lost! If you keep blabbering, I’m throwing you out!”
“Oh, don’t be so angry~” Lilith snickered, “But now you can rest easy, right? Your sister doesn’t despise you, nor does she think you’re disgusting. Based on my observations, the little girl is genuinely attached to you. I told you to relax, but you wouldn’t listen.”
Hearing Lilith’s words, the corner of Lin Lu’s mouth couldn’t help but curl upward.
Yes, her sister hadn’t shown even a trace of disgust.
Although she was a bit cheeky, it was all for the best.
“Alright, sleep. We have to go out tomorrow. I’ll buy you snacks when we get back.”
Since she was in a good mood, she would reward Lilith.
She turned off the lights, tucked herself into the quilt, and closed her eyes, starting to look forward to the outing tomorrow.
Lilith smiled.
Seeing Lin Lu turn off the lights, she returned to the bracelet to rest.
Before she went in, however, she shot an interested glance toward Lin Xiaoxi’s room next door.
“Hmph hmph~ your family is really quite something.”
