It's like I'm abusing her! My sister touched me today...
…Is she happy that she's not sad? Have a little conscience.
As Zhen Zhu thought about this, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, and her narrow, upturned eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke to her stepsister who seemed to be too frightened by her words to dare to speak at the door.
"Come in."
"Make my stepsister happy, fine." Zhen Zhu replied to the so-called system in her mind: "It's just a small task, it's easy for me."
The 100-square-meter room contained a single wardrobe. Behind it was a blue glass door leading to the jewelry room. Next to the blue glass door, a two-meter-long panda-shaped chair sat atop a sky-blue round rug, piled high with furry dolls. Zhen Zhu leaned against the dolls, slowly looking up at Zhen Min'er who had entered, and patted the extra seat beside her: "Come and sit."
Zhen Min'er was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and widened her eyes.
What's so shocking? Zhen Zhu snorted coldly: "Come here, can I eat you?"
Zhen Min'er walked slowly and sat obediently on the empty seat beside her, leaving only one-third of the seat empty. Zhen Zhu noticed this and directly pulled Zhen Min'er's arm to make her sit firmly.
"Sit down. I'll just say this once. My dad probably won't finish the meeting until around eight or nine today. As soon as the meeting is over, I'll tell him about breaking off the engagement."
"I'm not doing this for you. I simply don't like Jininglan, and I'm too lazy to target you."
"After you and Jininglan are together, we will keep out of each other's way." Zhen Zhu leaned on the furry chair back and spoke lightly.
[Ding Dong—The heroine's happiness index has dropped by five points, now 30%.] The baby voice suddenly dropped in my mind.
Zhen Zhu's expression tightened slightly. The cherry blossom lights above her head imprinted tiny pink petals on her face, adding a touch of charm for no reason. She tilted her head to question her stepsister.
"Are you unhappy?"
“…”
Zhen Min'er's amber eyes couldn't move away from the powder, "No..."
"You're just unhappy." Zhen Zhu was dissatisfied: "If you have something on your mind, just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?"
Zhen Min'er raised her eyes, her eyes sparkling with water.
"Sister...I don't want my sister to break off the engagement because of me."
"I...did not seduce Brother Ning Lan."
Zhen Min'er's voice ended with a trembling tone, "Just now, when Brother Ning Lan left, he was still trying to persuade me not to think too much."
"Brother Ning Lan, it's just...it's just because my sister took a little more care of me."
Zhen Miner lowered her head again, so that Zhen Zhu could not see the calmness in her eyes. She just bit her lip, causing her voice to tremble.
Zhen Zhu felt that it was too complicated, so she took off her shoes and stepped onto the chair barefoot. She hugged her knees and turned around to face Zhen Miner. The red skirt on her waist was too long, so it could only stay on the ground. Her legs, which were white and almost transparent, appeared in Zhen Miner's eyes with her knees bent.
All in sight.
"Sister, you..."
Zhen Min'er swallowed the words she was about to say and her body habitually wanted to move backwards to accommodate Zhen Zhu's movements. Suddenly, she felt a cold touch on her arm. It was her sister who pulled her back.
It was obviously very light, but it seemed to carry an irresistible force, making Zhen Min'er's body unable to move.
Zhen Min'er tensed up. It had been ages since her sister had been this close to her, probably not since they were ten years old. She was pleasantly surprised...
I also feel out of place.
Was it because of Jining Lan? After a slight tremor, Zhen Min'er's eyes darkened, a coldness flashing across them. She tapped the ground lightly with her toes, exerting force with her arms. Looking back, she could smell a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose. The cool touch on her arms appeared on her chin. Unprepared, Zhen Min'er was forced to look up.
"Why are you unhappy again?"
Hearing the notification tone saying it was reduced by one percent again, Zhen Zhu was unhappy. She reached out and pinched the tip of her stepsister's chin, forcing her to look up. Even if it was a further decrease this time, she had to ask for a clear explanation!
The person before me had thick eyelashes, fluttering like butterfly wings across her foxy eyes, revealing pale brown pupils. Her lips, unstained, were naturally vibrant. Pink cherry blossom petals dotted her well-defined face, shifting randomly with the speaker's movements, sometimes at the corners of her eyes, sometimes on the brow...
Too close.
Zhen Min'er gasped for breath a few times, but the faint fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose became stronger and stronger. She was forced to raise her eyes, but she could only see herself in those eyes, blurry and unclear. She was like a common people looking up at a goddess under the sun. She could almost see her greed in those light-colored eyes.
Zhen Min'er lowered her eyes, not wanting to look anymore.
Am I so scary? Zhen Zhu saw her little deer eyes tremble twice and wanted to lower her head, but was stopped by her action and could only lower her eyes. She felt a little unhappy, and the baby voice suddenly sounded in her mind again.
[Ding Dong—The heroine's happiness index increased by 1, recovering to 30%! ]
Zhen Zhu was just about to say a few more words of criticism, but when the voice came out, she looked at the face in her hands with lowered eyes in surprise. What was going on with her stepsister?
Upon seeing this, Zhen Zhu discovered that the slight breath she had felt on the back of her hand seemed to have suddenly vanished. Was she afraid to even breathe?!
"Breathe!" Zhen Zhu quickly released the fingertips that were pinching her chin.
In a fit of rage, I wanted to pinch my stepsister's face as a punishment, but...
Zhen Zhu pinched her lightly and thought awkwardly, she was not afraid that she would feel pain, but she was just afraid that this coward would faint directly, and she would have to worry about sending her to the hospital!
"Do you have to? Are you so scared that I can't breathe?"
Zhen Zhu pinched it lightly, but felt unhappy, so she pinched it again with a little more force.
It's quite easy to pinch.
Zhen Zhu felt that the touch was good and wanted to pinch it a few more times, but suddenly she felt a force on her shoulder and was forced to fall back on the chair.
The force was not strong, but it was enough to shock Zhen Zhu. She came to her senses in a second and looked up angrily, but she only saw the small white skirt left by the door after Zhen Miner ran out in a panic.
It passed in a flash.
"Did she just push me?!"
Zhen Zhu spoke in disbelief, sitting up straight and questioning the system in her mind: "Did you see that? Where is the gentle heroine?"
"Whose gentle heroine is pushing people!"
Zhen Zhu didn't even bother to sit down. She stood up and stomped her feet in anger. "She, she actually dared to push me!"
"Ale?"
The baby voice said doubtfully, "Weren't you the one who pinched the heroine first? The heroine didn't really fight back, she just pushed you down onto the soft chair. That's not a bad move, it fits the soft heroine's kind personality very well."
"...I didn't pinch it very hard!"
Zhen Zhu snorted, "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to practice the piano."
She has a performance in the afternoon, and if she continues to talk to this system that came out of kindergarten, she will be so angry that she will die. Besides, who is she? She is the eldest daughter of the Zhen family. Is there any need to explain to a piece of data!
Zhen Zhu put on her furry slippers, walked through the accessories room, and went to her own piano room to familiarize herself with the piece she would perform in the afternoon.
Hearing the melodious piano music coming from upstairs, Zhen Min'er covered her chest, leaned against the stairwell, clenched her collar with her fingertips, and took two deep breaths before stabilizing the beating of her heart that was almost jumping out of her chest.
His fingers trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly touched the slightly hot spot on his cheek, where... it seemed that his sister's breath still lingered.
Sister...touched her.
Sister, do you like her a little more today?
Did you hurt your sister just now? Zhen Miner looked up at Zhen Zhu's room upstairs, her big deer eyes staring greedily at her.
"Miss Min'er?" Nanny Wang Ma came out of the kitchen and saw Zhen Min'er looking upstairs, so she called out to her in confusion.
Zhen Min'er turned around when she heard the voice. Wang Ma saw her eyes sparkling with light. She covered her red face and hesitated for a moment: "Miss Min'er, please don't get close to the eldest lady in the future. The eldest lady has an unstable temper and it's too easy to hurt you."
Zhen Min'er lowered her head, her voice trembling and pitiful: "No..."
He paused for a moment before speaking: "It has nothing to do with my sister."
Then he walked away quickly. Hearing the sigh behind him, Zhen Min'er curled the corners of her lips slightly.
That's right, sister only needs to use what she likes.
After lunch, Zhen Zhu ate the fruit Zhen Min'er gently handed over. She didn't want to look at Zhen Min'er at all and only instructed: "Go call Master Li."
"Okay, sister."
Zhen Min'er responded obediently and was about to leave the table when she heard her sister say, "Come back and finish eating all this before you go."
"You only eat a little bit all day long. If someone doesn't know, they would think my Zhen family is abusing you!"
Turning around, she saw her stepsister hadn't eaten the rice in her bowl at all. Zhen Zhu tried to hold it in, but couldn't help herself and scolded her: "You're so petty all day long!"
Even if the index dropped, she had to say it! What's more, the female protagonist fainted because she didn't have enough food, and it was her, the vicious female supporting role, who suffered! Zhen Zhu snorted coldly, left the table, and went upstairs to get the piano book.
When she thought about how Zhen Min'er still looked weak and frightened after going downstairs, she couldn't even ask her why she pushed her. Zhen Zhu couldn't help but increase her pace when going upstairs.
Zhen Min'er only curled her lips slightly and ate the food on the table...which her sister had eaten, until she could no longer see the red figure on the spiral staircase.
Wang Ma wiped the kitchen counter and came out to see Zhen Min'er swallowing mouthful after mouthful. She took two quick steps and whispered to Zhen Min'er, "Miss Min'er, how about I find an excuse for you so that the eldest lady won't come to the theater to harass you again?"
While enjoying the aroma of her sister's food, she was interrupted by Lin Lai's voice. Zhen Min'er's eyes turned slightly cold, and impatience flashed between her brows. When she raised her eyes, she shook her head. Her little deer pupils were very stubborn: "Thank you, Wang Ma, but I don't want Wang Ma to suffer for me."
“And, and…”
Zhen Min'er lowered her head slightly, "Sister, actually... it's not that bad."
"What are you talking about?" When Zhen Zhu went down the stairs, she saw the nanny Wang Ma approaching her stepsister, and she didn't know what they were talking about.
Wang Ma shuddered at the sound of Zhen Zhu's voice, and quickly turned around with a wry smile: "I didn't say anything, Miss, I was just asking why Miss Min'er hadn't completed her task and hadn't finished her meal yet."
"snort."
Zhen Zhu slowly walked down the stairs. She changed into high heels and inspected her territory like a queen under a castle. She slowly approached her stepsister, whose eyes trembled and seemed to be frightened to tears. She glanced at the rice in her stepsister's bowl. She had already eaten most of it and snorted, "Forget it, let's go."
"I've contacted Master Li, he's at the door."
Zhen Zhu handed the music sheet in her hand to her stepsister: "Hold it for me, do I have to ask you to help me?"
"...Okay, sis."
Zhen Min'er clenched the music sheet in her hand and responded.
Looking at the red skirt fluttering in the wind, she took slow steps, following her sister's shadow.
