Chapter 21: Actually, Xiao Xiao Really Loves Sister Yunchu ~ ❤️

Looking at the message Shen Yunchu sent, Ye Xiao squinted her eyes slightly, flashing a smile that revealed two sharp tiger teeth.

As expected of a fishy sister whose favorability score has already reached 90 points. Even though it’s dinner time and she hasn’t gone home yet, she’s eagerly sending messages, just like a little wife waiting at home for her partner to return from work.

Ye Xiao could already imagine Shen Yunchu at home, having made dinner and waiting for her. The moment she gets back, this fishy sister would come up to greet her, take her coat, and shyly ask, “Honey, would you like to… take a bath first? Eat dinner? Or… maybe… eat~ me~ first?”

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao felt the urge to tease Shen Yunchu even more.

“I probably won’t be able to come home tonight. Guess what I’m doing?”

“Um, eating? Or shopping?” Shen Yunchu replied nervously. She had already prepared herself for the worst, imagining Ye Xiao might be getting close to someone else right now.

Seeing her innocent reply, Ye Xiao kept smiling.

Click!

She raised her phone, her pale lotus-like arm emerging from the rippling water, causing small waves. She then sent a photo of her smooth, slightly wet shoulder lifted from the bath.

“I’m taking a bath right now ❤️~ Do you want to see, Sister Yunchu?”

Shen Yunchu’s breathing quickened as she saw the photo. Was Ye Xiao really taking a bath? How far had things gone with that interesting fishy sister she mentioned? Was it exactly what she feared?

Shen Yunchu: “This… isn’t it inappropriate, Xiao Xiao?”

“What’s wrong with it? You don’t like it? But I really like you, Sister Yunchu ❤️~ Besides, we’re both girls. It’s just a quick peek, right? Plus, hehehe ❤️~”

Reading Ye Xiao’s response, Shen Yunchu submerged her already blushing face into the water. But it didn’t help at all. If anything, her face was heating up even more.

Shen Yunchu: “But…”

She had one last bit of resistance. What if she opened the video and saw not just Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao and that small fry sister in the same tub, their skin pressed together?

“Eh, doesn’t Sister Yunchu want to see me? I haven’t seen you all day and I miss you so much ❤️~”

“You’re at home, right? It’s not like you’re in an inconvenient place. Just a quick video wouldn’t hurt, right?”

Ye Xiao coaxed gently.

Shen Yunchu: “A-Alright…”

In truth, Shen Yunchu had been eagerly waiting ever since Ye Xiao sent the first photo!

Ring ring—ring ring—

Shen Yunchu initiated the video call with Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at the screen, her lips curving into a mischievous smile, and decisively hit reject!

Shen Yunchu: ???

Xiao Xiao just said she missed her, so why did she hang up?

“Xiao Xiao… you must have hit the wrong button, right?” Shen Yunchu asked uncertainly.

“Eh—does that mean Sister Yunchu really wants to see me bathing~?”

Ye Xiao covered her face with a laugh~

Even when she wasn’t around, Sister Yunchu could still bring her so much joy!

“That…”

For a moment, Shen Yunchu didn’t know how to respond. But now, after seeing Ye Xiao’s teasing messages, she realized something: Ye Xiao had completely tricked her!

“So, Sister Yunchu, you’re really such a silly small fry, huh? You’re that desperate to see me bathe? Gross~ Let me guess, is your face already bright red in embarrassment?”

“Xiao Xiao, you’re so mean!”

Just from Shen Yunchu’s reply, Ye Xiao could easily picture her body trembling slightly, her fists clenched, her face flushed with embarrassment. It filled Ye Xiao with delight.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao was completely wrong!

In reality, Shen Yunchu was indeed flushed and trembling, but not because of Ye Xiao’s teasing.

Although she hadn’t seen the bathing scene, her mind had already pieced it together, imagining Ye Xiao soaking in the tub from that single photo showing only her bare shoulder and arm.

Seeing no further response from Shen Yunchu, Ye Xiao licked her lips and decided to up the game.

She snapped another, more complete photo from the bath. Though the steam fogged the room, obscuring key areas under the water, the tantalizing allure of “hidden beauty” made the photo even more enticing.

She hit the voice message button and sent, “Actually, Xiao Xiao really loves Sister Yunchu~ ❤️”

Upon receiving both the photo and voice message, Shen Yunchu couldn’t hold back any longer. She quickly covered her nose with one hand and tilted her head back at a 45-degree angle.

But she was still a second too late—red droplets had already fallen into the bathtub, adding a splash of color to the steamy water.

After leaving the bathroom, Ye Xiao re-organized her thoughts.

First of all, even though her older sister is a returning white lotus, she can’t let her get together with Gu Tingyuan too easily.

While the storyline she knows has her white lotus sister acting terribly, Ye Xiao can’t just hand her sister over to Gu Tingyuan. After all, in the original body’s memories, her sister was quite loving and cared for her deeply.

She had to pull her sister out of this situation!

As for herself, as a transmigrator, the easiest way to make money is always through industries that cater to people’s mental and emotional needs—basically, the cultural and entertainment sector.

Clutching her phone, Ye Xiao started to capture every flash of inspiration in her mind, mapping out her future plan to take down the “Child of Destiny.”

Her eyes narrowed as she smiled, revealing those signature sharp tiger teeth.

Time flew by as she daydreamed about the future, until slowly, sleepiness crept in.

Suddenly, she dozed off, her phone slipping from her hand and landing squarely on her forehead.

“Ouch… that hurt…”

Ye Xiao rubbed her head, waking up for just a brief moment before drifting back into a sleepy haze.

In her half-awake state, she was still dreaming of success, stomping the “Child of Destiny” beneath her feet.

“Hehe, you weaklings~ You’re no match for me~”

Thunk

Mumbling softly, her hand loosened, and the phone slipped out of her grasp once more. But this time, it landed gently on the floor.
