"What’s up with you?" Bi Xia looked at Qiutian, whose face seemed troubled and a bit complex, and asked in confusion.

Qiutian snapped back to reality. He stared deeply at Bi Xia for a moment, let out a sigh, and murmured, "Having a sister feels quite different from having a brother."

"Hmm?" Bi Xia’s ears perked up at Qiutian’s words, tilting her head, "How is it different?"

How is it different? The difference is huge!

Qiutian smiled faintly but internally was grumbling. If it’s a brother, he’d grow up to steal someone else’s cabbage; but with a sister, she’d be taken away by someone else’s pig... cough, carried off.

One comes in the door, the other goes out. How can those feelings be the same? Damn!

But seeing Bi Xia’s innocent puzzled expression, Qiutian sighed lightly. Although he had vaguely suspected this earlier, he still found it a bit hard to accept...

Shaking his head, Qiutian said, "It’s nothing. I’ll head back now. You and Xiao Wu should get some rest."

Bi Xia nodded, escorting Qiutian to the door. Suddenly, Qiutian halted, turned to look at Bi Xia, opened his mouth as if unsure how to begin, prompting Bi Xia to frown slightly, "Just say what you need to say."

Qiutian: ...

Clearing his throat softly, Qiutian said, "Tomorrow morning at four, come sleep in my room."

Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, "I didn’t expect you to be into forbidden games."

"Hmm?" Qiutian didn’t quite catch on, "What?"

"What she means is, now that you know she’s a girl, and she might become your stepsister in the future," Xiao Wu placed the remote on the table and spoke coolly, "Inviting her to your room in the early hours, in a novel, would be a blatant sibling forbidden game."

Qiutian: ... What is all this...

With a helpless smile, Qiutian flicked Bi Xia’s nose playfully, eyes sparkling with humor, "What’s going on in those little brains of yours? If I liked playing forbidden games, I’d have started with Xiao Wu before meeting you."

"Lucky you didn’t have that thought back then," Xiao Wu looked at Qiutian indifferently, "Or else Feng would have surely killed you."

With that, Xiao Wu gave an awkward tug at the corner of her mouth, her peach blossom eyes cold as ice, "If you have that thought now, it would be two people killing you."

"Oh?" Qiutian asked with a smile, "And who are these two people?"

"One of them is me," Xiao Wu responded instantly, paused, then suddenly curled her lips mischievously, "The other, haven’t you already guessed?"

The clear eyes that once held laughter now stirred with emotion, if only for a moment, before settling into calmness. He smiled at Xiao Wu, then lowered his head to speak to Bi Xia, "Don’t worry, I’m not that wicked. It’s just that in everyone’s eyes, you’re still considered a boy, and..."

Leaning down slowly to whisper near Bi Xia’s ear, he said softly, "The marks on the bed need an explanation." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Bi Xia: ...

Her starry eyes widened abruptly, and Bi Xia raised her hand to push Qiutian out the door, shutting it without a word.

Staring at the closed door, Qiutian was initially stunned, then chuckled softly, pulling out his phone to send a text message before heading to his room.

Refined Scoundrel: I’ll be awake at four, just knock when you come.

Looking at the message from Qiutian on her phone, Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, did not reply, and tossed the phone at Chu Wu, who was eating jelly with her legs crossed, "Chu Wu, I bought that for Wu. Put it down!"

Chu Wu froze while eating, staring at Bi Xia in shock, "Whoa, how do you know I’m Chu Wu and not Wu???"

Bi Xia replied coldly, "Because our Wu is cool and cute; you, you’re just dumb and naive."
