Chapter 40 : Smooth Combo
Because Feifei Bai accidentally punched her sister, she earned a night of confinement.
But to Feifei, this was no big deal—phone in hand, a little lockdown was nothing.
At dinner time, Yao Bai called Feifei to come eat.
But from her room came not a response, but the furious sounds of gaming.
“Did you die in mid-lane or what? Can’t you come help?!”
“Jungler, all you do is jungle? Bot lane’s pushed to the second tower—what are you all doing?!”
“If you can’t play, go home and play in the mud!”
“I—fck!”
Yao Bai, dining with the Ye sisters, squinted slightly at her sister’s wild language.
“Sorry you had to hear that. Feifei’s been a handful since she was little.”
Yao Bai said this calmly, and Xiaoxiao Ye sensed the bloodline dominance only sisters share.
But Yao Bai didn’t barge in to give Feifei a beating—she just turned off the Wi-Fi.
Of course, that alone wouldn’t make Feifei change her ways.
No Wi-Fi? She still had her phone data.
But what if Yao Bai used her magic to envelop Feifei’s room, creating an electromagnetic interference zone?
Rou Ye clearly felt the magic gathering in Yao Bai’s hand on the doorknob and smiled with delight.
‘As expected of my adorable Yao~ She’s already manipulating witch powers with a human body so quickly.’
It won’t be long before Yao fully steps into witchhood.
She’ll wield Pride’s power freely without transforming.
I can’t wait for that day~ I just hope Yao doesn’t beat me up when she gets stronger~
“Sister, your smile’s kinda creepy.”
Xiaoxiao Ye’s ill-timed comment interrupted Rou Ye’s daydreams about Yao Bai’s future.
Rou Ye was annoyed, but Xiaoxiao was her little sister, after all.
Best not to get physical.
“Creepy? If you say that about your sister, I’ll be so sad~ And when I’m sad, I binge eat~”
Rou Ye put on a cute voice, tilting her head with a smile at Xiaoxiao.
“And when I binge eat, I spend money recklessly~ Then I might not have enough allowance to give Xiaoxiao~”
“So, little sister, won’t you go hungry?”
“Probably, right? At least your weekly Crazy Thursday plans will fall through.”
Xiaoxiao’s heart jolted at those words.
Who knew her usually gentle, clingy sister, who loved cuddling with Yao Bai, was such a venomous schemer!
What a loss for the acting world—she’d be perfect in a palace drama!
“Sister~ Xiaoxiao knows she was wrong~ Please forgive my clumsy mouth~”
Xiaoxiao hugged Rou Ye, whining in a cutesy voice that made Rou Ye’s stomach churn.
“Enough. Girls shouldn’t be so touchy—it’s gross.”
Rou Ye pushed Xiaoxiao away with a blank face, her words stabbing like winter’s chill into Xiaoxiao’s heart.
Xiaoxiao smacked her lips, at a loss for words.
She’d provoked Rou Ye first, so she had to swallow her frustration.
One wrong retort, and her future allowance might take a hit.
“Tch, you’re grossed out when I hug you, but with Sister Yao Yao, it’s all ‘my adorable Yao~’? Women, tsk tsk.”
Despite herself, Xiaoxiao muttered under her breath.
Rou Ye, staring at her rice, caught every word with her peripheral vision.
As the Greed Witch, reading lips was child’s play—she could see right into people’s hearts.
Just as Rou Ye was about to teach her disrespectful sister a lesson, Yao Bai returned.
“Why aren’t you eating? Is it bad?”
Yao Bai looked at the barely touched food, puzzled.
She picked up a piece of braised pork and popped it into her mouth.
The fat melted smoothly, not greasy.
The lean meat was spicy and delicious.
“Yao~ Feed me~”
Rou Ye brought her bowl over, sitting next to Yao Bai with a dainty, feminine air that made Yao Bai’s mouth twitch.
Rou Ye had been acting like this more and more lately.
“Yao~ Please, just one bite~”
Unable to resist Rou Ye’s pleading, Yao Bai retaliated by picking up a big piece of fatty pork.
Rou Ye hated fatty meat.
Staring at the glistening, oily piece, Rou Ye’s stomach churned.
But since Yao Bai was feeding her, her left and right brain waged war over whether to eat it.
Xiaoxiao watched the two, squinting as she sensed something.
Beyond the aroma of food, the table was thick with a vibe called “yuri.”
Gasp!
Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped in shock.
Rou Ye, her sister, was into girls!
Into Sister Yao Yao?
Xiaoxiao shoveled rice into her mouth, too distracted to eat properly.
Watching them was like a meal in itself.
She’d heard about yuri before, but now she was seeing it up close.
It was just like the rumors online!
Look at her sister’s cringey flirting—definitely the bottom.
Tch, throwing away her dignity to beg Yao Yao for food.
What, is she a three-year-old?
After a few bites, Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted, her mind racing.
Rou Ye caught every word of her sister’s inner monologue, her face stiffening.
Just as Rou Ye was about to drop her act, she heard more of Xiaoxiao’s muttering thoughts.
‘Am I being a third wheel here? Am I ruining Sister’s game? With her thick skin, she might actually hook up with Yao Yao. Speaking of, Feifei’s not eating—is that game that* fun? Maybe I should bring her some food and clear out for a bit?’
Xiaoxiao grew more convinced she should leave.
“I’ll take some food to Feifei. You guys keep eating.”
Xiaoxiao grabbed a dish of spicy stir-fried pork in her right hand, her bowl in her left, Feifei’s bowl under her arm, and chopsticks in her mouth.
Watching her sister leave, Rou Ye was thrilled.
‘Looks like my bratty sister has some tact after all~ Maybe I’ll double her allowance next month~’
But then, she remembered footing Yao Bai’s shopping bill today—over thirty bucks.
She’d definitely make Yao Bai pay her back with interest!
“Yao~”
With Xiaoxiao gone, Rou Ye dropped the act, puckering her lips at Yao Bai.
It didn’t look like she wanted food—it looked like she wanted a kiss.
Caught up in the moment, Yao Bai leaned closer to Rou Ye.
Their breaths mingled faintly.
They drew closer, almost touching.
Suddenly!
“Eat your fatty meat!” Yao Bai pinched Rou Ye’s cheeks, forcing her mouth open.
Not indulging her, Yao Bai stuffed the pork in and clamped her mouth shut!
The smooth combo caught Rou Ye completely off guard!
“Mmph!”
