“Mmhm, not bad, not bad. Here, change poses and let’s take another one~”
Xia Xi was half-crouching, holding up her phone, the camera pointed straight at Luo Xingchen, who was wearing a high school swimsuit.
“Stick your butt out, put one leg up on the chair, one hand on your hip and the other touching your thigh, lean your upper body forward a bit—hurry up.”
“I know, don’t rush me…”
Luo Xingchen looked pitiful.
He was wearing a long silver-white wig, had a bit of light makeup on his face, and something stuffed into his chest area that made it look puffy. He posed according to what Xia Xi had told him.
“No, no, that’s not right. Have you ever watched anime? When the girls in those lean forward, their waist sinks down and everything above the chest lifts up—it’s that S-curve. Right now, Xiao Chen, you look like a wooden plank.”
With Luo Xingchen doing the poses so stiffly and mechanically, there was no way the photos would turn out well!
When she told him to lean his upper body forward slightly, he literally just leaned forward—his upper body stayed ramrod straight like who-knows-what.
“I know… Sister is so mean.”
Seeing the other party dressed in girls’ clothes, making that pitiful puppy-dog expression, Xia Xi felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away.
She’d trained Luo Xinyu’s reliable little brother into this… Luo Xinyu wouldn’t yell at her, would she…
Whatever. First, she had to complete the option’s punishment of “taking photos of Luo Xingchen”!
Right, it was a punishment given by the options—definitely not Xia Xi wanting to keep some embarrassing blackmail material on Luo Xingchen!
“Ahem, Xiao Chen, hold this pose, and make your expression a bit more lively—like, eyes half-lidded, head tilted up, looking at something disgusting with a disdainful expression.”
A disdainful expression?
Luo Xingchen tried hard to think about what it looked like to see something really disgusting.
“I can’t do it, Sister. I can’t picture it.”
Having been a rich young master since childhood, he’d never experienced anything truly disgusting. People always went out of their way to please him and make him happy—how could anyone ever make him feel disgusted?
“Ugh, hold on, let me demonstrate.”
With that, Xia Xi, controlling Luo Xinyu’s young-lady body, stepped on Luo Xingchen’s calf with one foot, her eyes filled with extreme disgust.
But this disgust was different from real dislike—it was the kind of expression that carried a faint trace of disdain, a hint of “you’re hopeless.”
Of course, Luo Xingchen didn’t think his sister actually hated him—he knew this expression was fake.
Normally, if his sister looked at him like that, he’d be heartbroken. But in this moment, he stared blankly at his sister, at the complete picture of an arrogant young mistress.
And out of nowhere, two words popped into his head: “So good!”
He now somewhat understood why those otaku in anime kept shouting things like “Step on me, Sister!” “Scold me, Queen!” “Miss, please look at me like I’m trash!”
This feeling of knowing the other person was faking it, so you wouldn’t feel disgusted—only a faint thrill—it was simply… simply…
Too terrifying!
“Did you get it?”
By the time Luo Xingchen snapped back to reality, Xia Xi had already finished her demonstration and was holding up the phone again, waiting to take the photo.
“Got it!”
Seeing his sister return to normal, Luo Xingchen felt an inexplicable pang of loss, but he quickly adjusted and mimicked what his sister had just done, putting on a disdainful expression.
Click.
“Hmm, a bit stiff, but not bad.”
Another quality piece of blackmail material was saved on this phone—which originally belonged to Luo Xinyu—and then uploaded by Xia Xi to his personal cloud drive.
[Previous option detected as complete. New options available. Please choose.]
Xia Xi: “?”
Even bossing around pack animals isn’t done like this—not even a buffer period?
[Option 1: Send the photo to Luo Xingchen’s underlings with the caption: “I hope you’ll take good care of my little brother,” letting him experience the cruelty of society. Punishment: Luo Xinyu’s favorability in Luo Xingchen’s heart decreases.
Option 2: Upload the photo to Moments with the caption: “My dear little brother has finally decided to become a little sister!” Punishment: Luo Jingcheng locks both of you sisters up for a week.
Option 3: Send the photo to Luo Xinyu, who is inside the host’s original body, with the caption: “Xinyu, you don’t want your little brother to go astray either, right?” Punishment: The host has a video call with Luo Xinyu and must agree to all her demands during the call.]
Of the three options, Option 2’s punishment seemed the lightest for now. As a father, even if Luo Jingcheng locked them up, he probably wouldn’t mistreat them—at most they couldn’t go out, but food, drinks, and entertainment would all be provided.
However, if those photos were uploaded to Moments, Luo Xingchen would definitely face total social death. And then wouldn’t the little brat’s favorability toward Luo Xinyu drop just like in Option 1?
He didn’t want his own actions to damage Luo Xinyu’s original relationships.
He couldn’t do something that would ruin the sibling relationship between them—that would be too immoral. As a fine young man of the new era, his values wouldn’t allow it.
Of course, if it were that brat Xia Yue who got caught in such an interesting photo, he’d definitely post it all over Moments.
Are you kidding? How could he ever pass up a chance to punish that little gremlin of a sister!
All things considered, Option 3 it is!

“Xiao Chen, you’re free to go—go play~”
“Mmhm!!!”
With permission granted, Luo Xingchen fled from Luo Xinyu’s room as if his life depended on it.
He swore that from now on, unless someone was with him, he would never come to his sister’s room alone! At the very least, he’d bring a maid along!
Beep beep beep.
Summer Dawn: “Oh? Hooked a new girl already? Judging by the background, it’s still in my room—the meek young lady has grown some guts, huh~”
Meek Young Lady: “Hehe, of course. You think my charm isn’t something? A mere little girl—easy catch!”
Summer Dawn: “Oh, well that’s a shame. Since you’re off playing by yourself, I guess I’ll just have to reluctantly play with Miss Xia Chuan, little Xue, little Yu, and little Yiyi too~”
Meek Young Lady: “What are you trying to do, you big dumb spring! I was joking—the person in the photo is actually Xiao Chen.”
Luo Xinyu sat on the sofa, legs crossed, corners of her lips curled up.
Of course she knew the person in the photo was her brother—after all, they’d been family for over a decade, how could she not recognize him?
Anyway, teasing Xia Xi was always fun, so why not~
Summer Dawn: “You made my brother cross-dress again! You can’t bully him like that—he’s a boy, after all.”
Meek Young Lady: “Then what about all those times you made me wear little skirts!”
Summer Dawn: “Mmhm~ That’s different. You’re the meek young lady—plus you’re using my body right now, and little skirts suit it perfectly.”
Then…
Summer Dawn sent you a video call request.
