Chapter 58: A Rainy Rumble and a Spicy Frog Feast

Morning.

Luo Xi hugged her knees by the window. Three sunny days promised?! This weather forecast… as reliable as her brother’s promises!

“Phew…”

Rain pelted the glass, mocking: “Two rains in three days, surprised yet~?”

“…”

Luo Xi couldn’t take it.

Turning, she saw—bathed in morning light, Luo Su sat cross-legged on the bed, sleep dress strap slipping, oblivious, teasing her tail.

Noticing Luo Xi’s gaze, she boasted:

“Look~”

Raising her tail like an antenna, hopping to the tape measure, posing. “Count the tail, I might be taller than you!”

(Competitive streak…)

(All in weird places…)

Luo Xi sighed. So childish, but she couldn’t resist. “Fine~ If you dare go to school with that ‘antenna,’ I’ll admit defeat!”

(Knowing Luo Su’s guts…)

(No way she’d do it~)

“…”

Luo Su’s tail flopped on her head—no courage to strut that in class…

Wilting into a ball, “Ugh… you win…”

“Hmph, I always win.”

Luo Xi blinked, realizing teasing her brother was fun. Back on the bed, she beckoned wickedly. “Come, let me hug~”

“No way!”

Luo Su’s face flushed.

Her sister was turning into a bad woman, always teasing! Who knows what she learned at school!

“Then I’ll come?” Luo Xi pointed at the rain.

“Gulp…”

Luo Su’s face fell, trudging over, muttering, “Ugh… I’m the big brother.”

“Sure, sister~”

“…”

Hugging her pillow, Luo Su sneezed. “Feels like I heard that somewhere…”

Like in yesterday’s dream!

But last night’s dream? Fuzzy. Just felt refreshed today…

“Phew…”

Leaning on Luo Xi’s back, she asked, “Did you finish your homework? Graduates get tons, right?”

Luo Xi froze, huffing, “Not telling~”

Luo Su: “…”

Gulp… Luo Xi’s getting less cute. She used to be so sweet… pity.

“Eh? Bro, don’t you think…”

“Think what?”

Luo Su sighed at her sister’s half-said words. Just finish it—half-talkers are the worst!

“Your tail’s brighter,” Luo Xi said oddly.

“Huh?” Luo Su blinked. No way, nothing off this morning. Looking down, “Ugh… maybe.”

(My super invincible…)

(Awesome talent’s coming?!)

“Normal~ Sometimes it’s like that…” Luo Su wagged her tail mysteriously, keeping it secret. Playing pig to eat tigers? Her fave~

“Fine…”

Luo Xi twirled the tail, sighing. “Why rain the moment I hit Pingchang…”

“…”

Luo Su turned, smirking. “Maybe you brought it? Forecast said sunny!”

“Wah!”

Luo Su teared up, clutching her tail. “I-I said don’t tug there!”

“Hmph, I’m in charge!”

Luo Xi’s face darkened. Daring to add fuel? She flicked the tail’s heart.

“Ugh!”

Luo Su squirmed, pinned by her sister (tragic). “I’m sorry! I-I won’t say it!”

“Ugh…”

Lying limp, Luo Su sulked. Scolded again—so humiliating… Would she never beat her sister?!

No way!

“Alright, lunch?”

Luo Xi poked the rice-dumpling brother. His sulky, silent anger? Perfect appetizer!

Hmph…

Her mood soared. Bullying her brother was the best! Ugh… didn’t want to go home.

“Eat…”

Luo Su perked up, sitting straight. “Ugh… instant noodles? Egg and sausage deluxe, been ages!”

Luo Xi: “…”

Staring at his smug face, she realized he genuinely wanted noodles. She’s paying—have some ambition!

“No!” She slammed the gavel.

“???” Luo Su huffed. “Then why ask!”

“Right…”

Luo Xi smirked. “I asked, not let you choose.”

Luo Su: “…”

Weirdly makes sense… Gulp, tonight she’d ask those bad women if they wanted “games,” then use her sister’s line to shut them down!

(Just imagining…)

(Their faces… she couldn’t wait!)

“Mhm…”

Luo Xi picked spicy bullfrog—perfect for autumn.

“Tomorrow you leave?”

“Yup.”

Luo Xi nodded, hopeful. “Once I’m gone, will you miss me~?”

“Ugh…”

Luo Su turned, tsundere. “No way!”

“Hmph!”

Luo Xi pinched her lying cheeks. “Heartless, eating my money, can’t even say nice words!”

“Ugh… fine, I’ll miss you!”

Clutching her red cheeks, Luo Su whined, “J-just a joke!”

“Hmph…”

Luo Xi knew his hypocrisy—his tail told all. “Next time you’re home, I’m checking your cleanser!”

“???”

Luo Su blinked. “Why?”

“Hmph…”

Luo Xi, exasperated, said, “To protect your cute face! Keep using water and that weird shampoo, you’ll regret it at home!”

“Oh…”

Luo Su flinched, nodding weakly. “G-got it, but if I squeeze a bit without using, you’d never know!”

“Argh, infuriating!”

Luo Xi pounced, pinning him. When mad, her brother always found bizarre excuses.

“!!!”

Luo Su laughed till tears fell, wriggling pitifully. “S-surrender! I-I won’t dare!”

…

(Well… Luo Xi’s arc wraps here for now.)

(Wrote a lot, kinda worried you won’t like it… sidelined the other two leads…)
