The university student didn’t leave. She glared at me, muttering to herself with envy and resentment:
“Why can’t I be his sister?”
Sorry, but that makes you a pervert.
I ignored her and left the hospital with Ling Chen.
“Let’s go, I’ve finished the check-up. Are you hungry? How about we have Kaifeng cuisine for lunch today?”
He spoke seriously: “Sister, you shouldn’t eat fast food anymore.”
“Um…”
Does this mean I have to give up my beloved junk food?
“Not even a little?”
“Hamburgers, fries, fried chicken, cola—all no-go!”
“Are you a demon?!”
I was heartbroken. An otaku without junk food—is that even an otaku?
“Wait!”
The university student blocked our path, her hands on her hips, looking determined.
I frowned, asking politely but coldly:
“Is there something else you need?”
“I want to introduce myself!”
“Huh?”
What is this woman thinking?
She looked at me expectantly: “We’ve had a rough start, but I’d like to get to know you and your brother.”
I felt uneasy. Knowing our identities could lead to all sorts of trouble.
She placed her hand on her chest and started talking: “I’m Su Xiao, a freshman at S Province University.”
Aren’t you embarrassed to be so forward? Shouldn’t I introduce myself too?
Reluctantly, I introduced myself: “I’m a freshman at No. 2 Middle School, Ling Jiu.”
Su Xiao’s gaze intensified, and she grabbed my hand excitedly: “You’re my junior! What a coincidence!”
But I don’t want to be connected to you!
She looked me over, her invasive stare making me feel like a naked concubine being appraised by a brothel owner.
“Junior, you have a great figure.”
“Senior, what are you doing?”
She sighed in admiration: “JK uniforms are so cute. You’d look adorable in one!”
I shivered. Is this senior a loli-con or a lesbian?
I used to be a straight guy, and I still am. Just because I like yuri doesn’t mean I want to be in one!
God’s Voice: What if you could yuri with a goddess?
Um, that doesn’t count…
Anyway, I need to find a way to escape.
My body trembled, and my stomach cramped. My social anxiety was kicking in, and if this continued, I’d be too nervous to speak.
Noticing my tension, Ling Chen gave me a meaningful look.
“Sister, I’ll wait for you at that store up ahead.”
His solemn expression—is he trying to draw her attention away from me?
I felt guilty as a sister, making my younger brother protect me.
Sure enough, Su Xiao’s focus shifted to Ling Chen. Seeing his No. 2 Middle School uniform, she smiled knowingly.
“You’re my junior, right? Ling Chen?”
“Yes,” Ling Chen replied obediently.
“Your name is so nice!”
Su Xiao’s cheeks flushed, and she looked like a girl meeting her crush.
“I want to hug him tight. I can’t let this delicious little fresh meat go.”
“…”
Saying her desires so blatantly, this senior must be crazy.
“I want to imprison him and train him every day…”
“Little loli, hehehe…”
Senior, your expression is terrifying!
Su Xiao seemed lost in her awful fantasy, her face flushed, writhing like a lovesick girl meeting her idol.
This person is definitely a potential criminal!
Taking advantage of her daze, I pulled Ling Chen and ran.
“Hey?”
She snapped out of it, stunned.
“Wait… Junior, don’t go! I don’t even know your phone number or QQ!”
“Ling Jiu Junior…”
Her voice faded into the distance as we left her behind…
After running who knows how far, I stopped, out of breath, my chest heaving.
We narrowly escaped.
This is terrible. There are so many perverts in the world.
I never realized this as an otaku, but now that I’m a beautiful girl, and my brother Ling Chen is a handsome boy, we could be targeted by any pervert.
What if some pervert uncle fixes his eyes on us? I’m completely helpless!
Will we be made into a sister-brother dish?
Thinking about the themes I used to enjoy, I felt nauseated.
No, my tastes have become too mild, and I can’t accept these themes mentally or physically.
I felt like every man on the street had a sinister smile, their minds filled with chaotic, awful thoughts.
This world is scary!
I want to go back to being a dead otaku!
Ling Chen seemed to hear my thoughts and asked, confused:
“Sister, you used to love ** plots, so why are you scared when it’s about you?”
I sincerely confessed: “I was young and foolish. I apologize to all women. I’m a pervert, I’m guilty, Officer, arrest me.”
Compared to that pervert senior Su Xiao, I’m even worse. Someone like me should be humanely eliminated before I make an irreversible mistake.
Ling Chen held my hand, comforting me: “Sister, lust is the root of all evil. Judge actions, not intentions. No one is perfect. Someone like you, satisfied with a little porn and hentai, is harmless. Knowing your mistake is enough. Just keep your thoughts healthy from now on.”
“Wuuu, Ling Chen, you’re so good to me…”
“Well, we’ve been together for sixteen years. I won’t abandon you because of your bad personality. We’re family.”
I choked up: “I swear, I’ll only watch pure love stories from now on!”
Ling Chen sighed: “You don’t have to make such a promise.”
If my other relatives found out about my tastes, I’d die of shame.
But Ling Chen is like another me, so he should have the same memories. Talking about those embarrassing things with him doesn’t bother me.
But since he has the same memories, is he strong and in his rebellious years, will he think of me that way?
Even I can’t help but have impure thoughts looking at my own body.
Ling Chen looked angry, his voice dragging: “Sister! Please don’t project your thoughts onto me.”
“Sorry.”
Following Ling Chen’s suggestion, we went to a cheap, ordinary noodle shop.
Next door was the Kaifeng cuisine restaurant. While waiting for the noodles, the aroma of fried potatoes from next door was tempting, and the people walking by with chicken wings made me want to bite my nails.
I want to eat junk food…
But Ling Chen’s ever-vigilant KGB-like gaze made me feel like a thief. He was like a blue-cap political commissar holding a sign that read:
“Eat fast food (capitalism), eat noodles (socialism).”
Will I be eliminated as a counter-revolutionary?
I feel like Ling Chen is the type to sacrifice his family for the greater good. When I was little and accidentally saw inappropriate content on my dad’s computer, my first thought was to call the police. Ling Chen, inheriting my personality, would probably make the same choice.
I couldn’t bring myself to say what I was thinking. Otherwise, I might end up like this:
“Comrade, I hear you like eating American fast food? Come with me to Lubyanka.”
Why does my brother have more influence over me than my parents?
Maybe it’s because Ling Chen really cares about me. He represents my own desire to change myself.
Although I feel hopeless, if I don’t change, I can’t go back to being a boy!
For myself and my brother, I’ll bear it!
I furrowed my brow: “Noodles are so healthy. I just don’t get why young people today love junk food so much.”
Ling Chen tilted his head, his face brightening like spring after winter, and he smiled at me radiantly: “It’s great that you’re healthy, Sister. Keep it up!”
I’m in love! Why is my brother so adorable?
Kaifeng cuisine, you imperialist invader, don’t try to come between me and my brother!
Dear Junk Food from Heaven,
I, Ling Jiu, must temporarily part with you. Thank you for your companionship over the years.
With this farewell:
May we both find happiness in our separations.
o(╥﹏╥)o
