Do you think my sister might be lost?

Jiang Yueyi was a little worried about her younger sister, so she followed along.

Although she knew it wasn’t right to eavesdrop, she was afraid something might happen to her sister, so she simply stood outside Jiang Xizhi’s door, leaning there and listening to the sounds inside.

Zhou Yining in the room took a few more steps forward, reaching out and pulling out a few tissues from the bedside table.

Zhou Yining leaned closer to the bed, supporting herself with one hand on the bed, and with the other, she tried to wipe away Jiang Xizhi’s tears, but Jiang Xizhi dodged her while sniffling.

“I don’t need your help, leave me alone.”

Zhou Yining looked at Jiang Xizhi, whose eyes were red from crying, and felt a pang of heartache.

If she had known it would be like this, she would have asked Jiang Xizhi for help instead.

“Your eyes are all swollen from crying, let me wipe them for you.” Zhou Yining’s tone was gentle.

She bent down and tentatively moved closer, using a tissue in her right hand to wipe away Jiang Xizhi’s tears.

Jiang Xizhi tilted her head to avoid her, but her body didn’t move.

Zhou Yining reached out again, and this time Jiang Xizhi didn’t dodge.

Zhou Yining carefully wiped away her tears, “Don’t be angry, okay? I bought a cake, and I’ll celebrate your birthday with you later.”

The gentler Zhou Yining’s tone became, the more aggrieved Jiang Xizhi felt, and her tears fell even faster.

Zhou Yining quickly bent down and pulled her into her arms.

She wrapped one arm around Jiang Xizhi’s lower back and used the other to wipe away her tears,

“Don’t cry, it’s my fault, don’t be angry, my Zhizhi, okay?”

Jiang Xizhi sniffled, hooked her arms around Zhou Yining’s neck, and buried herself in Zhou Yining’s embrace, “It’s all your fault, are you always so nice to other girls?”

“No way? I’m only like this with you.” Zhou Yining reached out and gently patted Jiang Xizhi’s lower back to comfort her.

Jiang Xizhi rubbed her tears on Zhou Yining’s shoulder, raised her eyes to look at Zhou Yining, and retorted,

“You just like pretty girls, you think Zhong Yumeng is prettier than me, and you prefer to be with her, don’t you?”

Zhou Yining was overwhelmed, and quickly coaxed, “No, I only like being with you.

Didn’t I explain it yesterday? I was looking for her to help.”

“Then why didn’t you ask me? Isn’t my family rich enough? Why did you have to ask someone else?” As she said this, Jiang Xizhi started crying again while sniffling.

Zhou Yining hurriedly comforted her again, “Didn’t I explain it yesterday? I didn’t want to mix other things into our friendship.

But if I had known you would be so sad, I would have definitely asked you for help in the first place.”

Jiang Xizhi leaned on Zhou Yining’s shoulder again, tightening her arms around Zhou Yining’s neck.

Sniffling, Jiang Xizhi asked, “Do you think she’s prettier or am I prettier? Do you like her or do you like me?”

Zhou Yining’s lips curved slightly.

The little fox was really jealous.

She quickly followed Jiang Xizhi’s words and replied, “Of course you’re prettier, I only like you, are you satisfied?”

“That’s more like it.” Jiang Xizhi rubbed against Zhou Yining’s shoulder again, and the crying in her voice wasn’t as obvious anymore.

Clearly, Zhou Yining had coaxed her into a good mood.

“Okay, then our Miss Zhizhi won’t be angry anymore, okay? Let’s go eat cake.”

Zhou Yining reached out and gently patted Jiang Xizhi’s lower back, signaling her to let go first.

Jiang Xizhi rubbed against Zhou Yining again, her arms still not releasing, “You’re such a cheapskate, you won’t even let me hug you.”

Zhou Yining was amused by her, and said softly, “Okay, you can hug me for as long as you want, but can we change the position? This position is too hard on my back.”

Zhou Yining was still bending over, and her back was starting to ache.

Jiang Xizhi raised her eyes to look at Zhou Yining’s current posture, and then slightly loosened her grip.

She pulled Zhou Yining and pointed to the spot next to her, “Then sit here.”

Zhou Yining’s lips curved slightly, and she obediently sat down next to Jiang Xizhi.

She reached out and wrapped her arm around Jiang Xizhi’s lower back, pulling her into her arms and softly coaxing, “Now you can hug me for as long as you want, are you satisfied?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Xizhi responded, burying her face on Zhou Yining’s shoulder and gently rubbing against it.

Zhou Yining wasn’t wearing any perfume, but she really liked the scent on Zhou Yining’s body.

Zhou Yining looked at the little fox in her arms, and her heart softened, “Have you not been eating properly these past two days?”

“It’s all your fault for making me angry, it’s all because of you.” Jiang Xizhi’s voice was even softer than before, sounding like she was acting spoiled with Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining quickly coaxed, “Okay, I won’t dare to do it again in the future.

If I encounter anything else in the future, I’ll ask you for help first, okay?”

“That’s more like it.” Jiang Xizhi replied in a very proud tone, and then continued to lean softly in Zhou Yining’s arms, not wanting to get up.

While the two were talking, Jiang Yueyi was also listening to their conversation outside the door.

Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

No, were these really the kinds of things that girlfriends would say to each other?

Why did she feel like the way her sister and Zhou Yining were interacting was like a couple?

And the reason why her sister was angry was obviously because she was jealous of Zhou Yining.

Jiang Yueyi rubbed her eyebrows.

After a little coaxing, Zhou Yining just hugged her and softly coaxed her a few times, and she wasn’t angry anymore?

Jiang Yueyi took a few deep breaths and suddenly didn’t want to listen anymore.

Her sister, as soon as Zhou Yining showed up… this, her sister was too easily coaxed, wasn’t she?

While Jiang Yueyi didn’t want to listen, she was also curious to what extent they’d go, so she still stood there and didn’t leave.

“Did you have dinner?” Zhou Yining asked softly.

Jiang Xizhi shook her head, “I didn’t have the appetite to eat.

What about you?”

“I ate a bowl of instant noodles.

I’m a little hungry now too.

How about we go eat cake? We can talk while we eat.” Zhou Yining coaxed softly.

“Yeah.” Jiang Xizhi wrapped her arms around Zhou Yining’s lower back and refused to let go.

Zhou Yining amusingly reached out and patted Jiang Xizhi’s back, “Let go first.

If you don’t let go, how are we going to go eat cake?”

“I don’t want to let go.” As she said this, Jiang Xizhi took a bite on Zhou Yining’s neck.

Zhou Yining looked at the little fox in her arms who was acting spoiled and was at a loss.

She could only tease, “If you don’t let go, I’m going to carry you over there.”

Jiang Xizhi’s ear tips turned red.

She buried her face on Zhou Yining’s shoulder and neck, and hummed softly.

Zhou Yining was just joking.

She didn’t expect Jiang Xizhi to actually let her carry her.

“You said that, so I’m really going to carry you?” Zhou Yining asked again.

Jiang Xizhi didn’t say anything, but tightened her arms around Zhou Yining’s lower back.

Zhou Yining helplessly looked at Jiang Xizhi in her arms.

She could only see that Jiang Xizhi’s ear tips were red, and her whole body was buried in her arms, being extremely clingy.

Who told her to make her angry? Zhou Yining resigned herself, wrapping one arm around Jiang Xizhi’s lower back and hooking the other around Jiang Xizhi’s legs.

Afraid of dropping Jiang Xizhi, Zhou Yining reminded, “Put your arms around my neck, or you’ll fall.”

“Yeah.” Jiang Xizhi’s ear tips turned even redder.

She was already 17 years old, and she was still letting her friend carry her like this.

Would Zhou Yining think she was too clingy? But she really wanted Zhou Yining to carry her.

Jiang Xizhi obediently reached out and hooked her arms around Zhou Yining’s neck, but her face was still buried in Zhou Yining’s arms.

Zhou Yining used her arms with force and actually carried Jiang Xizhi horizontally.

She carried Jiang Xizhi towards the desk and chairs in the room, and directly placed Jiang Xizhi on the chair.

“Okay, let go for a moment.

I’ll put the candles on first.” Zhou Yining said softly.

Jiang Xizhi reluctantly let go, looking at Zhou Yining with her red eyes, obediently sitting there and waiting for Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining took out the fiery red little fox cake and put the birthday candles on it.

She looked at Jiang Xizhi with a smile, “Does this little fox look like you?”

Jiang Xizhi nodded.

The fiery red little fox looked very cute.

If Zhou Yining thought she was a little fox, then she was one.

“Okay, then I’ll light the candles?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Xizhi nodded, her eyes curved as she watched Zhou Yining busying herself for her.

She just liked Zhou Yining coaxing her.

Zhou Yining took out the lighter she had brought and lit the candles, then turned off the lights.

She walked towards Jiang Xizhi while singing a birthday song, “Happy birthday to you…”

After Zhou Yining finished singing the birthday song, she said, “Make a wish, little birthday star.

After you make a wish, we can blow out the candles.”

Jiang Xizhi looked at Zhou Yining with bright eyes, then clasped her hands together, making a wish so piously for the first time.

She made three wishes in total.

The first was that her family would be safe and sound.

The second was that Zhou Yining would have a smooth life in the future and would no longer encounter bad things.

The third was that Zhou Yining could be with her to celebrate her birthday every year in the future.

After Jiang Xizhi made her wishes, she looked at Zhou Yining with a burning gaze.

Zhou Yining smiled at her, “Blow out the candles!”

As she said that, Zhou Yining started to blow.

Jiang Xizhi was also eager to blow, and in the end, most of the candles were blown out by Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining smiled as she used her phone to light up the room and turn on the lights.

Jiang Xizhi pouted slightly, then smiled slyly at Zhou Yining, “You blew out all my candles, you have to make it up to me.”

Zhou Yining looked at her with amusement, “Okay, anything you say.

How do you want me to make it up to you?”

Jiang Xizhi’s ear tips turned slightly red, and she avoided Zhou Yining’s gaze, “It’s just that… you’re not allowed to leave tonight.

Stay here and keep me company.”

Zhou Yining didn’t expect Jiang Xizhi to make this kind of request, but she still nodded in agreement, “Okay, anything you say.”

Even though Zhou Yining knew that if she didn’t go back, her family would probably blow up again, she didn’t care.

The original owner’s home wasn’t important to her anyway.

“That’s more like it.” Jiang Xizhi raised her swan-like neck proudly after hearing her agree.

Zhou Yining carefully pulled out the candles from the cake, then handed the knife over, “You can cut the first slice.”

Jiang Xizhi looked at the fiery red little fox and suddenly couldn’t bear to cut it.

This was something that Zhou Yining had bought for her.

Zhou Yining looked at her with a smile, “Cut it.

I’ll buy you something else next time.”

“Yeah.” After hearing that Zhou Yining would buy her something else, Jiang Xizhi cut the first slice.

Zhou Yining reached out and took the knife from Jiang Xizhi’s hand, “I’ll do the rest.”

As she said that, Zhou Yining cut a slice of cake for Jiang Xizhi, took the small fork apart, and put the plate in front of Jiang Xizhi, “Eat it.”

Zhou Yining cut a slice for herself.

She had been busy all night, and she was really hungry now.

In a matter of seconds, Zhou Yining had devoured the little fox’s head.

Jiang Xizhi also started eating.

The big stone that had been weighing on her heart had fallen.

She was also hungry, and started to eat the cake in big bites.

Jiang Yueyi outside the door had a strange expression on her face.

She heard that the two of them were eating cake, and that her sister had been coaxed.

She didn’t think there was any need for her to stay.

However, was this how ordinary friends would coax each other?

And was her sister really that clingy?

She even asked her friend to carry her over.

Everything she heard sounded like something a couple in love would do.

Coupled with her sister’s attitude towards Zhang Ye tonight, Jiang Yueyi felt that things were not good.

Could her sister be gay?

When Jiang Yueyi thought of this, her whole body froze.

She quickly shook her head and felt that her sister shouldn’t be.

After all, her sister had liked Zhang Ye before, which meant that there shouldn’t be any problems with her sister’s orientation?

Jiang Yueyi’s mind was in a mess as she went downstairs.

Liang Jing and Jiang Shengde were still in the hall on the first floor.

Seeing her come down, Liang Jing quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yueyi faced her parents’ concerned looks and replied, “It’s nothing anymore.

Zhou Yining has coaxed her and they are eating birthday cake in the room.”

Liang Jing met Jiang Shengde’s eyes, and the two smiled at each other.

Liang Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that everything is okay, I was thinking, when little girlfriends have a conflict, they just need to be coaxed a little.”

Jiang Yueyi looked at her mother, hesitating to speak, “Mom, do you think my sister…”

“What’s wrong with your sister? Just say it, what’s with only saying half of your sentences?” Liang Jing said with a smile.

“Mom, do you think my sister might be gay?” Jiang Yueyi asked.

Liang Jing burst out laughing, “Yueyi, your imagination is really getting more and more vivid.

Your sister liked Zhang Ye before, how could she be gay?

Besides, the reason why she’s mad at Zhou Yining is just because of the possessiveness between girls.

When I get angry with my girlfriends, I also wait for them to lower their heads to me first.

You’re thinking too much.”

Jiang Yueyi forced a smile and muttered in a low voice, “Well, you wouldn’t have your girlfriends carry you like a princess, would you?”

Liang Jing was amused again, “Of course not, but your sister is still young, she’s still a child.

Children like to be spoiled with each other, it’s not a big deal to hug each other, you’re making such a fuss.”

“Yeah, don’t you girls just like to stick and hug? It’s normal.” Jiang Shengde also echoed with a smile.

Anyway, he was relieved that his daughter was happy.

Jiang Yueyi curled her lips, “Alright, since you all say so, then I guess I’m thinking too much.

They’re all children, fine.”

“Okay, your sister’s not angry anymore, so we can breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s almost ten o’clock, is that little classmate of hers going home tonight?” Liang Jing asked.

“She said she wasn’t going back, that she was going to stay with Zhizhi.” Jiang Yueyi replied.

“That’s great, let her coax Zhizhi some more, so we don’t have to.

Alright, let’s all go to rest.”

“Okay, then I’m going back to my room.” Jiang Yueyi said.

Although her parents unanimously believed that she was thinking too much, Jiang Yueyi still felt that there was something wrong with her sister and Zhou Yining.

Whether it was the way they interacted or the tone they used when talking to each other, there was something wrong.

Anyway, something was just off.

But she couldn’t control it.

It was already very difficult to coax her crybaby sister.
