Chapter 52: A Morning Meltdown and a Dress-Up Dilemma

“…”

The next morning, after a night of torment, Luo Xi stared lifelessly at the ceiling. “It’s… morning already? Feels like I didn’t sleep.”

Beside her…

Luo Su had rolled into a bizarre pose: head dangling off the bed, pajama pants bunched at the knees, tail sticking up like an antenna.

(This sleep pose…)

(Ready to launch to Mars?)

Luo Xi was too drained to snark. Tonight, she’d tie Luo Su up—otherwise, no one’s sleeping!

Why not stay elsewhere?

Because…

The little succubus was too cute, so comfy to hug. Blinking, Luo Xi mischievously poked her soft cheek.

“…”

Feeling it, Luo Su’s long lashes fluttered, struggling to crack open one eye.

“Ughmm…”

Mid-yawn, sweet dream lingering, her head drooped, nearly crashing back into the pillow—

“Zzz… five more minutes…”

“…”

Luo Xi checked the time—past 9! She bet her brother never ate breakfast when not in school!

Fine… she didn’t care.

But with only three days in Pingchang, if Luo Su slept like this daily… no outings!

“Up, big… little sloth!”

“Wah!”

Luo Su jolted, hands shielding her “ravaged” tail. “I’m up, why tug my tail!”

“…”

Luo Xi turned away guiltily. “You slept too soundly… I called tons, no use.” Counterattacking, “You were restless all night!”

“Look! Your drool stain!”

“…”

Luo Su’s eyes darted outside. “I-is that so?” Guilty—she didn’t know her sleep habits. Surely not that bad?

But her sister’s fuming look…

“Gulp, maybe it’s true…”

Didn’t Jiang Ning mention bad sleep habits? Maybe dreams and reality differed?

“I’ll get up… wash up!”

Luo Su scrambled out, grabbing her pillow from the floor, darting to the bathroom. Luo Xi waited, then crept after.

“!!!”

As expected, her dumb brother splashed water on his face, wiped with that battle-worn towel…

Done. That’s washing?!

“Hmph…”

Luo Su grinned, feeling prettier post-wash, strutting proudly… until spotting her fuming sister at the door.

“…”

Blushing, glad her thoughts stayed silent, she nodded guiltily. “Ugh… you washing too? I’ll go…”

“Stop!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Luo Su froze, unsure why her sister snapped, but the tone… bad news.

“Ugh… wah.”

Clutching her red face, Luo Su whined resentfully, “What was that for!”

“Guess!”

Luo Xi dragged her back to the sink. “Use the cleanser I got you. At least… not just water!”

“…”

Luo Su pouted, muttering, “Who’s the boss here? Water’s worked for years…”

“Hmph.” Luo Xi stayed silent.

Standing behind, the succubus fumbled with the cleanser, foam covering her face, wailing, “Ugh… got in my eyes!”

“So painful, help, grab the towel!”

“…”

Luo Xi sighed, passing the towel. She wondered if her idiot brother would accidentally off himself at home.

Can’t even wash his face!

“Ugh…”

Luo Su hugged her tail pitifully, sitting on the bed. Yesterday was humiliating enough…

Just the opening act?!

“Phew… change clothes.”

Luo Xi, seeing her miserable look, softened. “Then take me around.”

“Mhm!”

Luo Su nodded, thinking, Out there… better than home. If it’s off, I can bolt!

At home…

Too small, no room to maneuver!

Grabbing clothes, she zipped to the bathroom—changed in a flash.

“Let’s go!” she chirped.

School kept her busy, so she rarely explored. A funded trip? Gotta seize it!

“…”

Luo Xi stared, speechless. Her loli brother in a T-shirt, ready to go—yesterday, she wore a dress!

“Off!” she said.

“Huh?” Luo Su blushed. “T-that’s not…” She knew her sister meant the dress. Sure, she’d worn skirts before…

But this was different—her sister! Shy… she needed to be asked to wear it confidently!

(Hmph… proud.jpg)

“Now you’re shy? I saw every inch of you yesterday—move it!” Luo Xi urged.

“…”

Luo Su froze. Well… kinda, so she gave in. It counted as a request, right?

“Gulp… probably.”

Luo Xi, stone-faced, was inwardly gleeful, rummaging through Luo Su’s wardrobe, tossing boy clothes aside, pulling out all the girl ones.

“Hmph…”

She thought happily, Brother’s taste is solid—knows his figure suits cute clothes.

“Here, pick one!” she said, offering three.

“…”

Luo Su blinked, grabbing a pale pink dress. “T-this one… hides my tail.”

“Mhm!” Luo Xi nodded.

Then, smirking, she held up slightly heeled shoes—found in the wardrobe, clearly unworn.

“No way! Absolutely not!”

Luo Su dove under the blanket. “High heels? Never!”

“…”

Luo Xi eyed the cute shoes. “High heels? Just 3cm wedges!”

“Don’t care!”

Luo Su wrapped herself tight, until Luo Xi’s tempting words: “Bro, wear them, you might hit 1.5 meters!”

“…”

Her head peeked out. Gulp… that was… hard to resist…
