Our innocent little childhood friend looked bewildered. As a well-behaved child who rarely watched anime or spent much time online, she naturally had no idea what this meant.
"Hehe." Liu Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, then continued, "You may not know this, but many boys actually like younger sisters. I'm talking about the kind of liking that involves romantic love between men and women."
What kind of forbidden knowledge is this?
Seeing Shang Yunmiao's incredulous expression, Liu Xiaoxiao continued to explain: "In many works such as anime, web novels, and comics, the younger sister character is very popular and also very popular with boys. If the male protagonist and the younger sister are not actually related by blood, the two will most likely end up together."
Seeing that Shang Yunmiao still looked somewhat incredulous, Liu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and showed her a bunch of anime with a younger sister theme.
Halfway through the presentation, she suddenly realized something was amiss, and added somewhat flusteredly, "The sister I'm referring to is someone without blood relation. In our country, having a blood relative is forbidden."
This pointed remark went unnoticed by Shang Yunmiao, who was completely absorbed in browsing the comments section of anime featuring younger sisters.
Phrases like "Onii-chan is the best!", "I love my little sister the most!", "The best little sister of the year!", "I want a step-sister like that too!", "If you have a little sister, you hate that she's not Sora; if you don't have a little sister, you hate that Sora isn't your little sister!"...
"What does this sentence mean?" Shang Yunmiao could understand the previous phrases like "I like my younger sister the most" and "Onii-chan is the best," but she had a vague understanding of the phrase "If you have a younger sister, you hate that she is not Qiong; if you don't have a younger sister, you hate that Qiong is not your younger sister" that she was referring to. She really couldn't understand what it meant.
Upon hearing the question, the well-informed Liu Xiaoxiao immediately replied, "Oh, she's the female lead in a sister anime, and she's quite popular."
"Oh, okay." Shang Yunmiao nodded, assuming it was just another animation about "sworn brothers and sisters," so she didn't ask any more questions.
After spending more than ten minutes absorbing new knowledge, Shang Yunmiao felt a little relieved, but soon she looked at Liu Xiaoxiao with worry and said, "But Chen Bing may not treat me like a younger sister, right?"
"That's actually okay."
What does this mean? Shang Yunmiao looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, anticipating her answer.
"It's not just younger sister characters who are popular; childhood sweetheart characters are also very popular." After saying that, Liu Xiaoxiao, as before, found many related topics for Shang Yunmiao and said with a smile, "You now have both, so what's there to worry about?"
Okay, after seeing all this, Shang Yunmiao was indeed much more confident, but she still had one last uncertainty in her heart, which was how to prove that Chen Bing liked these things?
Proving it is actually quite simple. You just need to find evidence in items related to the other party, such as their collected comics, hidden posters, collected figurines, or things they like to watch.
But how do we find it?
The daring Liu Xiaoxiao immediately quit the computer game, then pointed at the computer screen and said with a wicked smile, "This is Chen Bing's computer. Let's check his browsing history, the software he downloaded, and so on."
Although she felt it was wrong, her curiosity overcame her kindness, and Shang Yunmiao stared at the screen without blinking.
Bearing Shang Yunmiao's will, Liu Xiaoxiao flipped through the browser's browsing history, only to find it contained nothing but serious content.
For example, official websites, questions about serious issues, and forums—nothing particularly special.
Unconvinced, Liu Xiaoxiao then pulled out all the software on her computer, trying to find something unhealthy among them.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case either.
She placed her last hope in a folder on her computer, hoping to find the "study materials" often found in comics.
There are indeed study materials available, but they are genuine study materials.
Just as Liu Xiaoxiao was completely disappointed and preparing to look for some evidence through other means, the sharp-eyed Shang Yunmiao suddenly spoke up: "Um, I think I just saw that there seems to be another folder in the math study materials."
Following Shang Yunmiao's instructions, Liu Xiaoxiao found the inconspicuous folder—"Techniques for Setting Unknowns, Derivatives and Stem-and-Leaf Plots." What a strange name! And why was this one used when none of the other knowledge points used folders?
Filled with curiosity, she opened the folder, only to find to her surprise that it was locked!
There's a problem, definitely a problem.
Liu Xiaoxiao keenly realized this, but she couldn't open the folder to see the substantial evidence.
She exchanged a glance with Shang Yunmiao behind her, and she could tell from their eyes that the other person had the same idea as her.
Do you know Chen Bing's usual password?
"My birthday, both of our birthdays?"
Liu Xiaoxiao first entered Chen Bing's birthday, but found it was wrong. Then she entered Shang Yunmiao's birthday, but it was wrong too.
She then tried inputting in various other formats, but none of them displayed correctly.
Helpless, she had no choice but to abandon this important clue and instead led Shang Yunmiao to search the room.
Based on her experience with various entertainment works, Liu Xiaoxiao felt that Chen Bing's bed, bookshelves, and wardrobe were suspicious places, but no matter how much she and Shang Yunmiao searched, they couldn't find anything suspicious.
Things have deviated significantly from their initial plans. What started as finding evidence of each other's preferences for certain genres of work now resembles an investigation into a teenage boy's criminal activities.
Whether it was because Chen Shengren was an upright and honest person, or because this kid was cunning and disposed of the evidence cleanly, Liu Xiaoxiao searched for a long time but couldn't find what she was looking for.
Disappointed, she pulled open a small drawer in her desk, where she found an old cell phone. Presumably, it was something Chen Bing had used before, now honorably retired. Liu Xiaoxiao didn't think too much of it and closed the drawer again.
Just as she was feeling disappointed and about to give up, Shang Yunmiao suddenly said to her, "By the way, Chen Bing seems to have another password that isn't commonly used."
The two then returned to the computer desk, ready to try again.
"What kind of password?"
"Hmm... Add my birthdate and his birthdate together, and we get 2005 + 2004 = 4009, 1 + 12 = 13, 31 + 1 = 32, and that's how many we get."
Is it possible to set it up like this?
Liu Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly, then entered the string of numbers.
Unfortunately, a pop-up window indicated that the password was incorrect.
"How about we reverse the numbers?" Disappointed, Liu Xiaoxiao tried again as a last resort, and to her surprise, this time it actually worked!
