Chapter 56: A Rainy Rush and a Sneaky Sleepwear Swap

“Ugh…”

Luo Xi thought it over, feeling guilty. Yeah, she was the one being naughty last night… So tonight, she’d double down!

Why?

Because… even if her brother had a girlfriend, he was still a cute, squishy punching bag by nature. As his only sister…

“Hmph~”

Teasing him for his future sister-in-law was totally normal! Just… prepping, yeah, that’s it!

“…”

Luo Su sensed danger, glancing back—tail hidden, ugh… just a feeling… right?

“Hotpot first!”

Luo Xi plopped cooked seaweed into his bowl. She’d “interrogate” him at home…

“Okay…”

Luo Su nodded sweetly, secretly thrilled. Hmph, her girlfriend status stayed hidden~ No embarrassment!

Her bad sister…

If she asked, how they met, why they liked each other—definitely dug up. Gulp… no way! For manly pride.

She chomped the seaweed hard.

…

Plans never keep up with changes.

A sudden autumn rain sent Luo Su and Luo Xi scurrying home, soaked.

“Achoo!”

Under the eaves, wind chimes jingled—two drenched chickens faced each other. Luo Su shook her head, water splashing, hands on hips proudly. “You shower first.”

“…”

Luo Xi wiped her face, glaring at her dumb brother, heading to the bathroom. “Get clothes ready, I’ll be quick.”

“Got it!”

Luo Su agreed fast—she had bigger fish to fry! But, to her dismay, Luo Xi took her phone to the bathroom.

“???”

She panicked. “Ugh… won’t it break?”

“Nope, just keep it far~ Your thoughts are written on your tail, so cute~”

“???”

Luo Su looked down—her dumb tail had broken free of the hair tie, wagging.

“Wah!”

Huffing, she plopped on the bed, tail still swaying. She poked it hard.

“Ugh…”

Trembling, she calmed, removing the tie. “What’s so happy about you!”

Pouting,

She leaned by the window, bored. Rain blurred the glass, cool autumn air seeping through.

“Phew…”

Her breath fogged the glass, fading slowly. “Hmph…” She drew a pig, sneaking a glance back.

“Good, Luo Xi’s gone!”

She gleefully wrote “Luo Xi” beside the pig. “Hehe… Piggy Luo Xi debuts!” But with no one to share, her head drooped back to the glass.

Raindrops slid like scattered pearls. Suddenly idle, she got bored, blinking, then dove under the bed.

“Bad Hulu!”

She rubbed its fluffy belly. “So lazy, not even greeting me!”

“Meow~”

Hulu wagged its tail, nuzzling her, then flopped back lazily.

“…”

Luo Su couldn’t stand it. Too lazy! Crawling out, she rummaged through Luo Xi’s suitcase. “Ugh, what looks good on her!”

“Black? Too mature…”

“No! Pink… too cute, maybe…” Muttering, she spotted a robe—same as Jiang Cha’s.

“Bro, clothes?”

Luo Xi’s voice came from the bathroom. “Coming!” Luo Su grabbed the robe and ran.

…

“???”

Luo Xi’s face reddened. Her dumb brother—told to grab clothes, brought just a robe?

“Phew…”

Taking a deep breath, she opened the door, pushing Luo Su in. “Shower quick, don’t catch a cold!”

“Oh.”

Luo Su nodded. “But I didn’t grab clothes…” Before finishing, a towel smacked her face, followed by Luo Xi’s huff. “I’ll get them, just shower!”

“Ugh… fine.”

Luo Su blinked, sensing something off but not piecing it together, until spotting her 8-in-1!

“Hmph!”

Eyes lighting up—yesterday without it, bathing wasn’t fun. She bounced over, turned on the water…

“Wah!”

She scrambled out.

Sneezing, “Ugh… no hot water…” Checking the temp, she pouted. “Gotta make it quick!”

Meanwhile,

Luo Xi felt shy.

Realizing she was alone, she relaxed. “Mhm…” Notably, she picked Luo Su’s clothes from her own suitcase~

“Hmph, found it!”

Blushing, she held a backless casual sleep dress—bought by mistake, too bold for her. Perfect for her dumb brother!

Of course…

Just the dress.

She plopped on the bed happily, sniffing. Her brother’s place smelled nice—succubus thing?

“Ugh… Luo Xi, I’m done!”

“So fast?”

“N-no hot water…”

“…”

Luo Xi felt bad, grabbing the dress. “Coming! Wrap a towel first.”

“Got it!”

Luo Su sulked. Why treat her like a kid? She wasn’t that small… just looked it!

“Here…”

Luo Xi guiltily left the dress at the door and bolted, panting. Would he guess her scheme?

Turning,

She saw the pig on the glass…

“Hehe…”

No regrets now. This dumb brother? A hundred hearts wouldn’t spot it! Huffing, she changed the pig’s name to “Luo Su.”

“Hmph… that’s right!”

…

“Mhm.”

Luo Su hummed, slipping into the robe. Never worn it, but comfy! Her tail slipped out easily, no snags like other skirts.
