"Yueyue, Qin Xin junior, Aunt Zou, I'm back."
Before she even arrived, her voice was heard first. Standing at the door, Bai Ningning greeted them, striding confidently inside with her bag of clothes. Such a high-profile move even caught the attention of the maids working in the garden, who were curious about why she was in such a good mood.
Bai Ningning walked confidently along the garden corridor, feeling victorious, triumphant, and flaunting her presence.
"Ningning senior," Qin Xin, sitting on the sofa, turned to look at her, "You're back."
Bai Ningning set her things down and sat beside her, "Yeah, I'm back."
Looking around, she curiously asked, "Where's Yueyue?"
Isn't the big sister usually sitting on the sofa watching TV at this time? Why has she changed her habits?
"She usually sits on her bed looking at her phone now," Qin Xin seemed to read Bai Ningning's mind and explained, "Not watching TV anymore."
Oh, so she's become a homebody, that's fine.
"But she should come out now," Bai Ningning checked her phone, "It's time for dinner."
Qin Xin nodded, "She should come out, but Ningning senior, why are you in such a hurry to find her? Is there something important?"
"No," Bai Ningning denied firmly, "There's nothing important."
At most, it could only be considered unimportant—well, this morning when she got up, she mentioned that she needed to ask the big sister to do something... or to be more precise, to do her.
Bai Ningning didn't know what had happened while she was sleeping last night, only that she had a strange dream, and when she woke up, the aircraft carrier's cabin was leaking. After thinking about the reason, she felt it might be because she hadn't fought with the big sister for a long time, and her blue bar was full, overflowing with magic points.
So tonight, she wanted the big sister to expend some energy.
"It should be soon," Qin Xin stood up, "I'll go call her."
......
In the bedroom, Qin Yue was comforting her online friend.
[YN]: Didn't you already get what you wanted? What's there to be sad about?
The other person's QQ showed they were listening to QQ music—[Jay Chou: Flower Sea].
The melancholy was almost palpable through the screen.
[00]: I did get it, but not completely; it was a bit sneaky... and she was sleeping very soundly at the time.
Qin Yue's mouth twitched.
[YN]: But if the other person was awake, you wouldn't dare to force it.
[00]: What if she was willing... well, the chances are slim.
[YN]: Exactly, what else are you not satisfied with?
[00]: I know, I'm very satisfied. But, but YN, do you know? It feels like waking up from a dream; the dream was so beautiful that I can't quite accept reality yet. And after this parting, who knows when the next opportunity like this will come again.
[YN]: ...
[00]: Just like the song says—You like~~ sitting on that windowsill, you haven't~~ come back for a long time.
Qin Yue facepalmed in silence.
Her little teacher, usually knowledgeable and strong-willed, shows a dominant personality in chats.
But once it comes to the girl she loves, she immediately becomes a different person, hesitant and indecisive, worried about gains and losses, timid and lustful.
Sigh, but upon reflection, isn't that just the same as the Qin Yue before her awakening? Exactly the same.
Knock, knock, knock, someone was at the door.
"Sister, come out for dinner, and also, Ningning senior is back."
"Okay, coming right away."
[YN]: I'm going to have dinner first, let's chat next time.
[00]: Hmm... Missing you has turned into the sea~ Can't come in through the window~
When online friends get emotional, they can't help but sing, luckily Qin Yue runs fast.
As she walked into the living room, Qin Yue glanced at Bai Ningning and let out a cold chuckle. "Oh, you're back? What a rare sight."
Bai Ningning set down her teacup. "Not really, it was pretty easy. Just took the subway, that's all."
"..."
So, you really thought I was concerned about you?
Qin Yue didn't want to talk to her, partly because the equipment hadn't arrived, and partly—last night while falling asleep, Qin Yue regretted it, thinking that little green tea was used to a life of luxury at home, would she find the conditions of the homestay too simple and not be able to adapt.
As a result, she was living quite happily, not even sending a single message. Now that they met, she looked radiant, her face glowing, clearly well-rested.
Forget it, let's eat!
This was the first dinner for the three of them during the Qin family's short holiday, but it was unexpectedly quiet.
Qin Yue, due to the aforementioned thoughts, was too lazy to talk and planned to give Bai Ningning "cold treatment" for ten minutes.
Qin Xin and Bai Ningning were both preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Bai Ningning's concerns have been mentioned above. She didn't want to directly ask the older sister to handle things, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Actually, the method was simple; she just needed to stop suppressing herself like before, say whatever she wanted, and Qin Yue would naturally get angry. Now, she was looking for the right moment.
Qin Xin was thinking even more. Yesterday, she had a dazzling extreme operation, successfully keeping Bai Ningning outside for the night. Regardless of whether that president was reliable or not, her first plan should officially begin.
After dinner, the family sat side by side on the sofa in the living room, and Qin Xin suddenly spoke up: "Ningning, how was the homestay you stayed at last night? Is the benefit from the ACG club really as good as what's said on the forum?"
She definitely didn't believe it was a homestay. If she stayed overnight, wouldn't the president just bring her home? They would definitely go to great lengths, just like those comments above.
That's right, Qin Xin had also read through the comments about Bai Ningning's topic, even posting a few herself with a secondary account, saying some outrageous things. Unfortunately, everyone thought she was just joking around.
Bai Ningning blinked: "The benefits from the ACG club are indeed very good, but I didn't stay at the homestay prepared by the club."
Exactly, that's right, sister, this is the right vibe from my senior.
Qin Xin felt a surge of joy in her heart; she knew that with Ningning's boldness, she would never lie.
Too lazy to say!
"Not staying at the homestay," Qin Yue was slightly taken aback, "Then where did you stay last night?"
Bai Ningning tilted her head, confidently saying: "Last night, when it got dark, our club's president invited me to stay at her house, so I went."
The living room fell silent for a moment, the sound from the TV became especially clear.
Qin Xin quietly tightened her grip on her clothes, controlling her emotions, maintaining a blank expression and indifference.
Yes, that's right, senior, keep going like this!
Qin Yue took a deep breath: "She invited you to her house, and you just went?"
"Yeah," Bai Ningning blinked innocently, "What else could I do?"
Wasn't it enough that Aoying invited her? Did she have to kneel?
