[Ending 3: Everything Returns to Calm]
Bai Yue was really happy because she had made two new good friends.
One was Senior Xin Yu from the student council, and the other was her cute underclassman, Xiao Cha.
“Bai Yue, wanna go play together tonight?”
“Sorry, can’t. I’ve got plans.”
Bai Yue turned down her classmate’s invitation to hang out.
Today, she had invited her two good friends over to her place, so there was no way she was going to stand them up.
She powered through the day, and finally, when school was over, it was time to go.
Luo Xin Yu and Bai Xiao Cha were already waiting outside the school gate nice and early.
When Bai Yue saw them, she quickly walked over, grabbed Luo Xin Yu’s hand with her left and Bai Xiao Cha’s with her right. Their hands felt super soft in hers, and a nice, pleasant smell lingered around her nose.
“Walking around holding hands like this makes me feel like a little kid,” Bai Xiao Cha couldn’t help but complain.
Since both Luo Xin Yu and Bai Yue were taller than her, in this scene, she really looked like a little girl, and the older sisters were holding her hand so she wouldn’t get lost.
“But you are a little kid, Xiao Cha~”
“You’re the little kid! Your whole family are little kids!”
Seeing Bai Xiao Cha puff up her cheeks in anger, Bai Yue grinned and placed her hand on the girl’s head.
“Hehe, be good, Xiao Cha~ Pat pat~”
“Get away from me!”
——
The three of them arrived at Bai Yue’s house together.
A delicious, fragrant meal was already prepared.
“You’re back? Go wash your hands and get ready to eat.”
Bai Xi took off his apron and brought everyone a can of ice-cold cola. Of course, for Luo Xin Yu, he brought pre-warmed milk because he knew she liked that.
“Wait a minute, you can cook, you dummy brother?”
“Come on, your big bro is all-powerful!”
Bai Yue picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork rib, and popped it into her mouth.
You know what? It actually tasted pretty good~
But… why did it taste so familiar? Like she’d had it somewhere before.
She knew perfectly well whether her own brother could cook or not, so… there was only one explanation!
“Hey! You dummy big bro, you’re trying to trick us with takeout!!! These ribs taste exactly like the ones from that shop right next to our school!!”
With that, Bai Yue tried a few other dishes, and without exception, they all tasted like food from restaurants around the school.
As a little foodie, Bai Yue had already eaten her way through every place near the school, which was why she could so accurately identify where all this food came from.
Seeing that he’d been caught, Bai Xi scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
“Alright, Xiao Yue, your brother meant well.”
In the end, it was the ever-gentle Senior Xin Yu who came to the rescue.
Not that Bai Yue actually wanted to give her brother a hard time anyway. She was just teasing him a little.
Even if he hadn’t ordered takeout, she would have asked Luo Xin Yu and Bai Xiao Cha what they wanted and ordered something herself later.
It’s not like either of them could cook a proper, delicious meal anyway.
Sure, Bai Xi could whip up some plain, everyday dishes, but the taste wasn’t anything to write home about. It was just something to fill your stomach, definitely not something you’d enjoy eating.
After dinner, Bai Xi went back to his room to catch up on some sleep.
Bai Yue, on the other hand, took Luo Xin Yu and Bai Xiao Cha to her room.
“Hehe, Senior Xin Yu, Underclassman Xiao Cha, let me show you some of the awesome stuff I’ve collected, okay~”
With a mysterious look on her face, she turned on her computer and opened a folder labeled “Study Materials.”
Inside were all sorts of games with icons of beautiful anime girls!
And then…
“Hey Xiao Cha, you little girls really make people feel all protective, don’t you? Look, the main guy always jumps in to save the day in these games~”
“Bai Yue… stop it! I’m so embarrassed!”
Bai Xiao Cha’s face turned bright red.
“Senior Xin Yu, you’re so much like the senior in this game! Both of you are super kind and have amazing figures~ No wonder the main guy is totally crazy about you. Honestly, even I’m a little tempted~”
“You and your smooth talk.”
Luo Xin Yu laughed and scolded her, gently tapping Bai Yue on the head.
“Hehe…”
In the other room, Bai Xi listened to the cheerful laughter coming from next door, along with their increasingly excited chatter, and could only shake his head helplessly.
How was anyone supposed to sleep through that?
…..
As the scenes slowly faded away, Xia Yue looked proud of herself again.
She raised an eyebrow at her brother, as if to say: Stupid big bro, your harem is under this beautiful girl’s control now!
But her only response was a loving chop to the head from Xia Xi.
“Keep laughing. Now everyone knows you’ve got a ton of galgames saved on your computer.”
Luo Xin Yu had known all about Xia Yue’s little hobby for a long time, but this was the first Bai Xiao Cha was hearing of it.
She’d always known that Xia Yue understood a lot of words she didn’t and could chat more easily with the boys in their class, but she never expected this was how she learned all that!
“Whatever! It’s not like it’s something to be ashamed of!”
Xia Yue clutched her head and stuck out her lower lip in a pout.
Then she suddenly noticed the complicated look in Bai Xiao Cha’s eyes.
“What’s that look for?! What are you staring at me like that for?! Who says a beautiful girl can’t be into a little steaminess?!”
“It’s fine, Xia Yue. I get it~”
“You stupid little girl, just wait till we’re back in reality. I’m gonna use you as my body pillow when I sleep, just you watch!”
….
When everyone returned to reality, it was already broad daylight. In the summer, the sky always gets bright pretty early.
“Xia Xi, time to get up and eat breakfast.”
As always, An Xiao Yu provided her Xia Xi with the lovely service of waking him up. She’d even brought him a basin of warm water and a towel to wash his face.
“You and Xin Yu talked in your sleep the whole night, you know.”
When Xia Xi heard that, he froze.
Talked in his sleep? The system hadn’t told him that if you get punished and sent into the game space, you’d also talk in your sleep!
What if he’d said something he shouldn’t have? He’d be mortified on the spot!
“Um… Xiao Yu… what did you hear us say?”
An Xiao Yu tilted her head, grabbed one of her twin tails, and twisted it around her wrist a couple of times. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, like she was remembering something funny.
“Last night, you… pfft… you kept saying that a little girl’s body feels really nice and that you want to stay as a little girl forever. Pfft, haha.”
An Xiao Yu put the washbasin down and waved at Xia Xi a little sheepishly.
“Sorry, Xia Xi. I’m not making fun of you. I just never knew you were a lolicon, that’s all~”
Hearing An Xiao Yu’s words, Xia Xi turned to stone on the spot.
“No! Xiao Yu, let me explain! I don’t want to be a little girl! I’m a hundred percent manly man!!! And I’m not a lolicon either! Do I really look like some kind of creepy old guy?!”
Of course, An Xiao Yu knew her Xia Xi wasn’t some kind of pervert. She figured he’d probably been playing some kind of game in that strange game space, which was why he said those things in his sleep.
She wasn’t really bothered by it. She just thought it was funny.
Anyway… as long as it’s Xia Xi, anything’s fine~
