Chapter 229 : Incurable Sister Complex
Chapter 229 : Incurable Sister Complex
Su Yun's small feet unconsciously took a few steps back, her back hitting the familiar wall.
Looking up, Qin Xue was staring down at her with a dangerous gaze.
She wanted to run, but found two large hands firmly planted against her head, and the tight pressure in front made it hard to breathe.
Why does this scene feel so familiar...
Qin Xue kept one hand supporting the wall while directly grabbing Su Yun's left hand, forcing the hunched girl to stand straight.
"Tell me the truth!"
"Hng..."
The cold voice echoed through the hallway. The front door was still open, and the two people in the adjacent room 1101 could probably hear it.
She was completely embarrassed.
Su Yun's lips trembled: "What if I said I went to save someone? Would you believe me?"
"Oh? Hehe, then tell me."
Qin Xue laughed contemptuously, then casually threw Su Yun's hand away, appearing somewhat cold.
Su Yun knew it was her fault. After all, Qin Xue had said so, yet she still snuck out. And when she did, she was gone for two hours.
"There have been some strange incidents near school recently that you might not know about, Sister Xue."
"A few nights ago, some mysterious people smashed up shops outside, causing many stores to close out of fear. You saw that this morning too."
Qin Xue's eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a stern expression: "So you snuck out at night just to help those shops that are still open?"
"Yes..."
"When I went out earlier, at that Shaanxi snack shop, I saw a bad person—not one of the smashers, but a drunk guy harassing someone. I didn't like it, so I went to drive him away. It took some time..."
"That's all. I'm sorry, Sister Xue. I won't sneak out again next time."
Su Yun felt her made-up reason was somewhat unconvincing. Her heart felt guilty.
As for the details... she didn't want Qin Xue to be scared.
A few seconds passed, and Su Yun received no response.
Could Sister Xue have seen through the lie?
She carefully tilted her head up, only to see Qin Xue's eyes sharp as a blade.
"Boom!" The hand Qin Xue had against the wall beside Su Yun's head slammed hard into it.
"Hng!"
Su Yun was startled and immediately crouched down, hugging her head, her body trembling in a scared manner.
Sister Xue's punch just now was definitely meant for her!
Wah wah.
She had gone out because she was worried about Sister Xue, so why should she be hit?
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be so fragile. But it had to be the person she loved most.
"I'm sorry, I really won't go out next time. Trust me..." The girl's voice carried a crying tone.
"You really are... sigh..."
Qin Xue clenched her fist and punched the wall again, full of helplessness.
Was she really that angry...
"You get up!"
"Hng."
Su Yun stood up shakily, but the sight before her was surprising.
The cold-tempered girl's face had faint traces on both sides, and her red-rimmed eyes were continuously overflowing with transparent droplets.
"How can you be so stupid! You help whoever you see, right? What would happen if something happened to you?"
"Huh?"
Su Yun's mouth fell open.
What's going on?
The next second, Qin Xue suddenly hugged her. The tight embrace made Su Yun feel suffocated.
It was soft, yes, but too big—no space to breathe!
Soon, both her feet left the ground.
Hey, don't hug so tight!
But Su Yun didn't resist. Instead, she reflected inwardly on why she had made Qin Xue worry.
Right, her childhood experiences had already established that Qin Xue lacked a sense of security. The other's wish was to have someone to accompany her for a lifetime. If anything happened to her, Qin Xue would probably 'go' with her too.
She hadn't thought it through...
"I'm quite strong. Most people can't beat me. Don't worry, Sister Xue..."
"Idiot! How can I not worry! How many times have I said this..."
"You're so stupid! What if something unexpected happened!?"
"Uh..."
Su Yun had been quite moved originally, but Qin Xue's words directly broke her defense.
No way, I usually let you win when we fight. You think I'm really stupid?
Except for Qin Xue being able to bite her cherry, play with her—those people outside couldn't even touch her finger, ugh.
Qin Xue held Su Yun up with one hand while using the other to steadily close the front door.
Her voice trembled, her eyes moist: "You're so stupid. You're not allowed to act recklessly again, okay..."
"..."
I can't take it anymore!
Su Yun bared her fangs, aiming at Qin Xue's tender arm: "Let me down, arooo!"
"Little sister Yun, it hurts!"
...
In the early morning hours, this bustling city finally quieted down completely. The streets outside school had no neon lights, only endless darkness.
Su Yun stood by the window, her white hair swaying with the night breeze.
The girl's pupils reflected an extremely dangerous crimson, her posture overlooking the city like she wanted to slaughter all life in this area.
Well, actually Su Yun just couldn't sleep and got up to look at the scenery.
After yesterday, today was Saturday. Her next exam was in 5 days—next Thursday.
But Qin Xue had an exam next Tuesday.
Su Yun decided that day she would wait outside the entire time, never leaving.
"..."
She lay by the window and opened WeChat on her phone.
Xia Rou's brother and Qin Xue's sister still hadn't replied to her.
The big boss was really busy.
Su Yun was getting anxious.
...
"Chirp chirp, chirp chirp."
On a winter morning, bird calls were crisp and pleasant.
"Welcome."
Su Yun opened her front door, making way for the two girls visiting her home, her manner polite.
The two girls before her wore thick sweaters and scarves, their feet in black long boots, wrapped up tightly like little lambs. Very cute.
"Hmph, see that? Sister Rou is mine!"
Even though Su Yun had already stepped aside, Qin Yuanyuan deliberately hugged Xia Rou's arm and came forward to show off.
"..."
The little potato's triumphant smile made Su Yun helpless.
"Okay, okay, she's yours."
"Hmph hmph, you better remember that. From now on, you're not allowed to talk to Sister Rou!"
Qin Yuanyuan pointed at Su Yun with her small hand in pink thermal gloves, appearing quite rude.
"Alright, Yuanyuan, don't point at people. How did I teach you?"
"Mm hmm."
"Ow, Sister Rou, hng."
Qin Yuanyuan's fair cheeks were pinched by Xia Rou, quickly turning rosy.
"Pfft."
Su Yun's laugh made the little potato so anxious she stomped her feet. Even with her face being pinched, she called out: "You're mean! Ow, it hurts..."
"Alright Yuanyuan, Xiaoyun is your sister's girlfriend, so you should call her Sister Xiaoyun too. Stop calling her 'you' all the time. It's so rude."
"I don't know rude Yuanyuans."
"Hng, but..."
"No buts. Call Sister Xiaoyun." Xia Rou's gentle voice reprimanded Yuanyuan.
Su Yun saw the little potato's aggrieved expression and her mouth nearly twisted to the sky.
"Haha, right, you should call me sister. Otherwise, your Sister Rou and Sister Xue will spank your bottom~"
This disobedient little brat finally got punished!
After letting go, Qin Yuanyuan's right cheek was still flushed. She reluctantly lowered her head: "Hng... Sister Xiaoyun."
"No 'hng,' Yuanyuan." Xia Rou threatened, pinching Qin Yuanyuan.
"Sister Xiaoyun!"
"Mm mm, little potato... Yuanyuan sister, from now on we're good sisters. Take good care of each other, okay?"
Su Yun playfully extended her hand, grasping the small gloved hand and shaking it excitedly up and down.
"Hng."
Qin Yuanyuan was completely unwilling.
Why should she call this little brat who was the same height as her "sister"!?
And this person hadn't even taken care of her, wasn't as gentle as her sisters, and had even bitten her in class over a month ago! (Holds grudges)
"Pfft pfft, little sister Yuanyuan."
Bad person, don't laugh!
How could Sister Rou and Sister Xue approve of this biting monster!
Her small face wrinkled up, her eyes full of grievance.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong? Did someone bully you again?" At this moment, a tall, well-developed girl walked into the living room.
Qin Xue had been studying in the bedroom. After no one came in for a while, she curiously came out to see what was happening at the entrance.
When she looked, she found her sister's stubborn little mouth was almost pouting like a duck. It was a miracle she hadn't cried.
"Hmph... this person bullied me."
Qin Yuanyuan faced Qin Xue just like before. When someone bullied her, she directly tattled to her sister.
Usually at this time, her sister would severely punish that person!
Just wait, you biting bad child!
"Oh, so Yuanyuan bullied Xiaoyun? That won't do. You need a spanking."
"Right, it's her, eh..." Qin Yuanyuan tilted her head up proudly, but after carefully hearing Qin Xue's words, her eyes widened.
"So Yuanyuan isn't listening. Come on, let's go spank your bottom!"
Qin Xue without hesitation picked up Qin Yuanyuan's small body around the waist and quickly walked toward the bedroom. That aggressive manner showed she really needed a spanking today.
"Wah! I didn't bully her! Sister Rou, save me!" Qin Yuanyuan seemed to recall painful memories from before. Tears couldn't help but fall, looking at Xia Rou with hopeful eyes.
"Yuanyuan, I told you to call Sister Xiaoyun, and you still won't listen. You deserve it!"
Surprisingly, the usually gentle Xia Rou sided with the outsider this time. Qin Yuanyuan couldn't help it: "Wah wah wah, you're all bad people."
"Smack!"
"Wah!"
"Smack!"
"Wah!"
Each crisp sound in the bedroom was accompanied by a pitiful scream.
Su Yun stood outside the door, covering her mouth and laughing.
Little potato, I have seniority over you. This is the advantage. Understand?
Being rude to your elders deserves a spanking!
...
After lunch, outside the sun was shining brightly. The sunlight warmed the entire room through the thin glass—a perfect time for a good nap.
Qin Xue had studied university physics so hard she was mentally exhausted. She lay in the bedroom under a blanket with her eyes closed, sleeping. Su Yun took the opportunity to snuggle up to Xia Rou.
"Hey, you..."
Qin Yuanyuan immediately noticed Su Yun coming to cuddle with her Sister Rou. She wanted to shout, but as if remembering something, she suddenly lowered her head fearfully, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Xia Rou, can you call your brother? I can't get through."
"Huh? I can, but he should be at work at the company now. He probably doesn't have time to answer."
"Let's try anyway."
Su Yun was stunned when she heard Xia Rou's words.
Your brother is probably running around school with a gun right now. How could he be at work?
Besides, would the chairman really be at work?
"Beep..."
Su Yun watched as Xia Rou's small hands held up her phone and called the contact labeled "brother."
But in just a few seconds, the "calling" page disappeared, replaced by "in call."
"Xiaoru... what's wrong?" The male voice from the phone was very steady, but Su Yun, knowing roughly what was happening, could still hear the other's panic.
"?"
Su Yun looked at the phone that was answered in a second and was completely numb.
At work? Hehe...
She had been waiting for a WeChat friend request for a day until now without being added. Yesterday she was so anxious she called almost ten times, and not a single one got through.
But the sister calls and it goes through in one second?
You ***.
Su Yun didn't have time to be angry before the soft girl in front of her obediently handed her the phone: "Xiaoyun, it's for you."
"..."
"Hello, Xia Rou's brother."
"Who are you?" The moment Xia Rou's voice disappeared, the boy on the phone sounded like he'd been ignited. His voice was cold as if he'd swallowed a nuclear bomb.
