Chapter 58: Pt.2

The room was cramped, and it could just barely fit a bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk. There was a laptop placed on the desk, and the screen currently displayed the interface of a certain broadcasting platform.

Xu Xiangxiang quickly moved forward to close her laptop's screen. Then, she turned around and smiled, saying, "Isn't this room nice? I organized it myself."

Girlish pink wallpaper paired with some decorative lights covered the walls of the room.

Xu Chuanchuan did not play along with Xu Xiangxiang. Instead, after briefly surveying the room, she returned her gaze to Xu Xiangxiang and said in a cold voice, "Are you not going to explain?"

Xu Xiangxiang's smile faded. Then, she reached out, took off the hat on her head, and said, "I know I shouldn't have lied to mom, but she will grow suspicious if I didn't lie to her. I didn't mean to hide it from you, either, but I want to make money. I'm already proficient at live streaming, and I can earn money very quickly. But since you refuse to support me, how would I dare tell you the truth?"

"I'm disappointed in you, Xu Xiangxiang. Just look at what kind of nonsensical clothing you're wearing," Xu Chuanchuan said as she pulled apart the collar of Xu Xiangxiang's shirt.

"Ahh! What are you doing?!" Xu Xiangxiang screamed, her face turning pale from fright.

However, Xu Chuanchuan forcefully moved Xu Xiangxiang's hands away and ignored her little sister's struggles. Then, she pulled out two thick bundles of napkins from inside Xu Xiangxiang's bra and gritted her teeth, saying, "You stuffed your two As into Cs! Do you have no shame?!"

While tightly covering her chest with her hands, Xu Xiangxiang looked at her elder sister with pitiful eyes and said, "You tore open my shirt as soon as you arrived. You're too much."

"I'm too much? If you weren't my little sister, I couldn't even be bothered with you!"

"I admit that I was in the wrong. I also called mom just now. What else do you want?!"

The two sisters shouted at each other without caring about the room's soundproofing. Then, realizing their mistake, Xu Chuanchuan went to lock the door. Meanwhile, Xu Xiangxiang hurriedly picked up the two bundles of paper towels on the floor and shook off the dust stuck to them.

Xu Chuanchuan just so happened to have caught this scene when she turned around. Sneering, she asked, "Are you planning to reuse them next time?"

"It took me a long time to make these. They're not dirty, so why must I throw them away?"

"You still plan on continuing this nonsensical streaming?"

"I'm not breaking the law. I'm earning money using my abilities, so why can't I do it?"

"You call padding your breasts to seduce men a skill to earn money?"

Xu Xiangxiang blushed. Then, she said, "You can't say that to me even if you're my sister! Also, I'm already an adult. I have the right to choose what I do. You have no right to control me!"

Xu Chuanchuan nearly laughed out of anger. However, just as she was about to refute her little sister's words, her phone suddenly rang.

Worried that it might be their mother calling, Xu Chuanchuan suppressed her anger and pulled out her phone, only to find Murong Shi calling her.

Xu Chuanchuan glanced at Xu Xiangxiang with a guilty conscience. Then, she took a few steps back and answered the phone.

"What are you up to right now?"

A slightly hoarse and sexy voice penetrated Xu Chuanchuan's right eardrum. After calming her rapidly beating heart, Xu Chuanchuan said, "I'm not doing anything. Have you been drinking?"

"Mhm. I drank a little with my two uncles," Murong Shi leisurely said. Then, changing the topic, she asked, "How can you not be doing anything? Don't you miss me?"

There was no way Xu Chuanchuan could bring herself to say "I miss you" in front of her little sister. Not to mention, she currently had more important things to deal with, so she wasn't really in the mood to flirt with Murong Shi.

After clearing her throat, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Don't get drunk."

Murong Shi let out an inaudible sigh. Then, she said, "You really like to dodge questions. You're not cute at all."

"..."

"But I like it."

Xu Chuanchuan blushed like the good-for-nothing she was. Then, in a gentle voice, she asked, "Is the party not over yet?"

"It's over."

"Then go home soon."

"I want to see you."

Why did she suddenly become so lovey-dovey? This doesn't match her usual personality at all. Sure enough, this person starts to reveal her true self once she gets drunk.

Xu Chuanchuan felt her heart warming up when she heard Murong Shi's words. If not for Xu Xiangxiang's matter remaining unresolved, she would've dashed to meet up with Murong Shi now.

Amidst Xu Chuanchuan's hesitation, Murong Shi asked, "Are you in the dorm right now? Are you sleeping soon? I'll go find you."

"Don't!" Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly shouted. "I'm not at the dorm right now."

"You're not? Where did you go this late at night?"

According to her past experiences, Xu Chuanchuan knew that Murong Shi would become much more difficult to deal with when drunk. Afraid that Murong Shi wouldn't let the matter rest, Xu Chuanchuan truthfully told Murong Shi her current location and that she was currently together with Xu Xiangxiang.

Murong Shi didn't doubt Xu Chuanchuan's words. Instead, she cheerfully said, "That's great. We were having dinner at a nearby hotel. Send the full address to me. I'll head over right away."

"..."

Xu Chuanchuan ended the call with complicated emotions. Then, she heard Xu Xiangxiang suddenly asking, "Sis, did you start dating recently?"

Xu Chuanchuan blinked. Then, without any shame on her face, she lied, "No."

"Who called you just now, then?" Xu Xiangxiang asked, pointing at the phone in Xu Chuanchuan's hand.

"...Murong."

"You mean Big Sis Shishi?"

"Mhm."

Widening her eyes, Xu Xiangxiang exclaimed, "Heavens! Have you always spoken so ambiguously with her? I remember you used to be very opinionated toward her. Weren't you afraid of her? I thought you were talking with your boyfriend just now with the way you spoke and the shy expression you made!"

I don't have a boyfriend, but I do have a girlfriend.

Xu Chuanchuan dared not tell her little sister the truth. Although she panicked inwardly, she maintained an angry expression as she said, "Don't try to change the topic! I'm still not done with your matter!"

In response, Xu Xiangxiang turned her head aside and harrumphed, saying, "Since you don't respect my decisions, I don't want to talk to you."

"..."

The two sisters ended up in a cold war.

Because of the close distance, Murong Shi arrived in less than ten minutes.

Xu Xiangxiang knew that the new arrival was Murong Shi, so she happily went out to welcome the other party. When she saw Murong Shi, she looked like she had seen her savior. While hugging Murong Shi's arm, Xu Xiangxiang pointed at her elder sister and said, "Big Sis Shishi, my sister is bullying me!"

Murong Shi carried a faint scent of alcohol on her body, and a red hue could be seen on her white cheeks. Paired with her black hair and long white dress, she looked indescribably beautiful. Unfortunately, this beauty was ruined by Xu Xiangxiang, who stuck closely to her.

In response, Murong Shi only revealed a faint smile. However, she did not move her gaze away from Xu Chuanchuan even for a moment. She also forgot to refute Xu Xiangxiang's words completely.

Then, with her eyes still locked onto Xu Chuanchuan, Murong Shi asked Xu Xiangxiang, "Why is she bullying you?"

With someone serving as her backbone, Xu Xiangxiang became emboldened. In a righteous tone, she said, "I want to earn money through live streaming, but she won't let me. She even called me shameless."

At the mention of live streaming, Xu Chuanchuan promptly snapped out of her daze. Then, putting on a grim expression, she said, "I wouldn't have cared if you were doing normal live streaming. The problem is that you've padded your chest to such an extent! What exactly are you trying to do?!"

"I… Is there something wrong with me padding my chest?"

Murong Shi's head started buzzing as she listened to the two sisters arguing. Finally, after roughly understanding the two sisters' point of contention, she asked Xu Chuanchuan, "Are you not allowing her to live stream because she padded her chest?"

The chest-padding matter was only the tipping point. After pausing for a moment, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Live streaming isn't suitable for her. It is also time-consuming. I worry that it will affect her studies."

"I'm on my semester break right now," Xu Xiangxiang interjected.

Then, sending her little sister a glare, Xu Chuanchuan said, "The most important point is that she can't resist temptation. I'm afraid she will take the wrong path."

"I'm not stealing or selling my body, so how am I taking the wrong path?"

"You dare quibble still? What do you have to say about Jiang Shaohua's matter last time?"

At the mention of this matter, Xu Xiangxiang instantly became mute.

In the end, Murong Shi was the one who resolved the conflict. While persuading Xu Chuanchuan not to be so inflexible, she also had Xu Xiangxiang promise that she wouldn't do anything shameful on her live streams. Only then did the fires of war between the two sisters gradually subside.

Before leaving, Xu Chuanchuan tugged on Xu Xiangxiang's right ear and said, "I'll be watching your live streams every night. You better not let me catch you doing anything stupid."

"I know, I know," Xu Xiangxiang said impatiently.

Only then did Xu Chuanchuan rest easy and leave with Murong Shi.

Murong Shi did not drive here because she had drunk alcohol. After going to the roadside and hailing a taxi, she dragged Xu Chuanchuan into the car.

When Xu Chuanchuan looked at the time, she exclaimed, "It's so late already!"

Probably because she was tired, Murong Shi rested her head on Xu Chuanchuan's shoulder as if it were a matter of course. Then, she raised a hand and pinched Xu Chuanchuan's right ear, saying, "Don't casually come out at night by yourself in the future."

"Today's situation is a little special," Xu Chuanchuan said helplessly. Then, realizing that there was the taxi driver in front of them, she hurriedly tore off Murong Shi's misbehaving hand.

However, Murong Shi easily turned the tables and held onto Xu Chuanchuan's wrist instead. Then, she smiled and said, "It's unsafe for me to go back so late at night, either, so I'm going with you."

Stunned, Xu Chuanchuan asked, "You're going back to the dorm with me?"

"Mhm. Little Yan happens to be away today."

Little Yan isn't home, so you can sleep in her room? Is that what you're trying to say? But why do I see a different intention in your eyes?

…Let's hope I'm just overthinking things.

Partway through their trip home, they stopped by a grocery store to buy some toiletries. While waiting at the checkout, Xu Chuanchuan said, "You don't have a change of clothes."

"I'll have Little Yan bring some for me tomorrow morning. As for the pajamas, I'll wear hers for now."

This was indeed a solution.

By the time they arrived at the dormitory, it was already close to eleven o'clock. However, considering that Murong Shi was a little drunk, Xu Chuanchuan wanted to let her wash up first.

However, Murong Shi said, "I feel a little dizzy, so you go first."

Xu Chuanchuan didn't doubt Murong Shi. She went to the bathroom after grabbing a change of clothes, only coming back out 15 minutes later.

Meanwhile, Murong Shi laid on the sofa in exhaustion. And although she wore a relaxed expression on her face, her eyes attentively followed Xu Chuanchuan's every movement.

Xu Chuanchuan felt a little uncomfortable from the constant staring. Then, while tugging at her pajamas' collar to prevent it from sticking to her skin, she said in an unnatural tone, "Your turn."

Murong Shi responded with an "mhm" but remained motionless.

"Get up."

"I'm dizzy. I can't get up."

Murong Shi didn't seem like she was pretending, so Xu Chuanchuan went over to help her without hesitation.

However, the instant the two made physical contact, Murong Shi stood up vigorously and looked down, a hint of perverseness appearing in her eyes when her gaze swept across Xu Chuanchuan's breasts. Then, she said, "These pajamas look a bit transparent. Did you deliberately wear them to tempt me?"

Definitely not!!!

Xu Chuanchuan instinctively pushed Murong Shi away and jumped backward. Then, she warily covered her chest with both hands.

Murong Shi snickered when she saw Xu Chuanchuan's intense reaction. Then, she reached out, caressed the shorter woman's chin, and hoarsely said, "The more transparent they are, the more I like them."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
