Qin Xin went to school in the afternoon but returned shortly after. There was only one elective class scheduled, and halfway through, the teacher had something urgent to attend to, so it was changed to self-study. She didn't bother staying and went straight home.
At this time in Shuiyue Tingyuan, Qin Yue was inspecting the company, Bai Ningning was attending class, and only Qin Xin had just returned, along with Aunt Zou, who was cleaning.
"Second Miss, you're back," Aunt Zou greeted her.
"Mm," Qin Xin replied lightly.
Aunt Zou looked around and leaned closer, lowering her voice: "Second Miss, since no one is around, I want to talk to you about something."
Qin Xin was slightly on guard: "What is it?"
She knew that Aunt Zou was aware of her little thoughts and had even pointed it out once before. However, for some unknown reason, the other party seemed to not oppose it but rather supported it.
"Second Miss, have you been thinking lately that if the eldest Miss is willing to share, you could enjoy it together?"
Qin Xin was taken aback: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Aunt Zou sighed silently, thinking that the Second Miss's usual behavior of being overly cautious was not something the straightforward eldest Miss could see through.
"Second Miss, I'm not here to persuade you; I just want to remind you," she said softly, "What does Ningning think? Is she willing?"
Qin Xin was slightly stunned.
Yes, what does Senior Ningning think about such matters?
...
During the break of the second class in the afternoon, while the teacher and classmates were not paying attention, Bai Ningning slipped out of the classroom.
She thought she had caught some significant timing... and indeed it was significant; the two lolis just happened to have no class and were in the dormitory.
After knocking on the door, it was Xiao Yi who opened it. The energetic loli with twin ponytails instinctively wanted to close the door but thought better of it and let her in.
"Senior, you really know how to pick the right time," she sighed. "This is the only time we don't have class."
"Well, that's a coincidence," Bai Ningning said seriously. "It just means we are the right three people."
At that moment, Nainai also stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her timidly: "Senior Sister, you're here."
"I'm here."
Bai Ningning walked over to look at her computer: "Are you drawing?"
"Mm... yes, I'm drawing the initial draft," Nainai said cautiously, "The project team asked me to submit at least three characters in the next two months."
Bai Ningning wasn't surprised; a few days ago, Si Youxue had told her that the game was preparing for internal testing in winter. What Nainai submitted was just the character illustrations; someone still needed to turn them into models, and the time was indeed tight.
Of course, the time was tight for a freshman like Nainai, as she had to attend classes most of the time.
"Will it affect your studies?" Bai Ningning asked, "Should I say something to let you take on less?"
Nainai quickly shook her head: "No need, no need. Anyway... I can't understand the classes."
Less class time, more time to slack off, and that's how time is made up.
"Senior," Xiao Yi said softly from behind, "What do you really think?"
Bai Ningning turned around and answered very seriously: "How can you say that? I came here for a legitimate reason. Caring about Nainai's work status and progress is a responsibility of a project manager!"
Xiao Yi sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. "I'm not talking about today—you'll find any excuse to come over anyway… I mean last time, when you took Nainai to that company and even went into the office. What were you thinking?"
Last week, after Nainai returned, she had been feeling restless in the dormitory. Xiao Yi was busy studying at the time and didn't pay much attention, but she didn't expect that after so long, her younger sister was still like this.
As an older sister, Xiao Yi couldn't just stand by, so she confronted Nainai and learned about the whole process of being taken to the company by Bai Ningning last time.
Good grief, the whole thing outright shocked her.
"What do you mean, how could I think?" Bai Ningning blinked innocently, "What's the problem?"
Isn't it okay to go into the office? Even interns can go in, and bringing in an outsourced worker to sit for a while isn't a big deal, right?
"Still no problem?!"
Xiao Yi was furious and directly moved a chair over, placing it in front of Bai Ningning: "Sit down!"
Bai Ningning obediently sat down.
With the height difference eliminated, Xiao Yi's momentum rose as she looked down at her... that annoying big pillow took up too much of her line of sight.
Xiao Yi struggled to shift her gaze from the pillow to her senior's beautiful and delicate face, interrogating, "Senior, let me ask you, the owner of the office should be the company president, right? What is her relationship with you?"
After hearing Nainai mention it before, Xiao Yi was filled with suspicion. Bai Ningning was only a sophomore; how could she be the secretary to a group president? Moreover, Nainai said the other party was a very beautiful woman with a strong presence.
Combining this with her impression of Bai Ningning over this period, Xiao Yi made a judgment.
"Senior, tell me the truth, you and her, are you... are you...?"
After stuttering for a long time, Xiao Yi's little face turned redder, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Bai Ningning couldn't take it anymore and encouraged her: "Calm down, be confident, you're an adult."
Right, I'm an adult, so it's normal to say such things.
"You and her, did you sleep together?!"
Xiao Yi, with her flushed face and hands on her hips, said this from a position of superiority. At that moment, she felt incredibly powerful, as if she had truly become an adult.
Nainai quickly covered her ears.
Some things are not for good little girls to hear.
Bai Ningning was also taken aback, thinking that everyone understood so well, so she didn't need to pretend to be an ignorant girl anymore.
"Yes, we did," she lazily leaned back against the chair, "Don't you want to know how we did it?"
"Right, right," Xiao Yi instinctively asked, "How did you do it?"
Just as Bai Ningning was about to answer, Nainai's voice came from the side: "Sister, senior, you guys are off-topic."
Xiao Yi suddenly came to her senses: "Right, we got off-topic, let's not talk about this!"
Fortunately, Nainai reminded her in time. As for why she could still hear while covering her ears—it's well known that covering one's ears is a symbolic gesture to show purity, just like covering one's eyes, and it doesn't have any actual effect.
"In short, senior, you clearly have that woman, yet you brought Nainai over and even let Nainai stand right in front of that woman," Xiao Yi said indignantly, "That's too much."
Bai Ningning tilted her head: "Why is that too much? Just because I have that woman, I can't have Nainai?"
Just because she slept with an older sister, does that mean she can't be friends with a younger sister? Where's the logic in that?
But Xiao Yi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, as if it was the first day she met her: "Senior, you actually think like this."
