"What pressure? I don’t get it." Jiangg Yao played dumb.

"You really don’t get it?"

"Mmm~ Eek! What are you doing, Young Master..."

The blanket was suddenly lifted and thrown over her head, their faces now inches apart. She struggled weakly a few times before giving up her resistance.

Her soft legs also clamped together tightly.

...

Early in the morning.

Jiangg Ning unpacked the limited-edition small, round table she had bought online a few days ago. After clearing the styrofoam from the floor, she slowly carried it over to the balcony by herself.

It was now a sun-drenched morning.

Countless rays of light streamed through the window, spilling onto the balcony.

The freshly washed skirts swayed faintly in the breeze. Indoors, the canna lilies and money plants were a vibrant green, their leaves glistening with droplets of water on the verge of falling.

Jiangg Ning arranged the chairs as well, and just like that, a proper little spot for eating breakfast in the sun was set up.

BANG—

Just as Ningning was leisurely preparing breakfast by herself,

the sound of a door closing echoed.

A yawning Jiangg Yao walked over from the entryway. She looked so sleepy it seemed she could barely keep her eyes open.

Her swaying body made one worry she might fall over at any moment.

"Oh, you’re back so early?" she asked, poking her head out from the kitchen.

"Mhm..." Yaoyao replied listlessly. "The Young Master woke up, and it wasn’t comfortable sleeping alone, so I figured I’d come home to catch up on some sleep. *Yawn*~"

Jiangg Yao stretched, feeling completely drained of energy.

"You can sleep in a bit, but eat breakfast first so you’re not on an empty stomach."

"Eat? What is there to eat?"

"The bread I baked. Can’t you smell it? I’ll fry up a couple of hot dogs for you too. Homemade hot dogs. Give it a try, it’ll be delicious."

"Alright," Jiangg Yao replied languidly.

"Don’t just sit on the sofa. Look at the new dining table I set up," Ningning said, pointing to the balcony. "What do you think? Doesn’t it have a special kind of vibe?"

"It’s okay, I guess."

"What’s wrong, Yaoyao?" Jiangg Ning frowned, a little surprised. "I thought the first thing you’d do when you got back was brag to me. Looks like you didn’t have much fun last night?"

At this question, Jiangg Yao stopped abruptly in her tracks.

She turned her head and stammered, "It’s not that I’m unhappy... I’m just tired from not getting enough sleep."

Jiangg Yao slumped onto the table and yawned. She watched Ningning bustling about in the kitchen, feeling too bored and tired to even think.

’If I close my eyes, I’ll fall asleep instantly.’

Especially with the warm sunlight from the balcony blanketing her, and the pleasant scent of solid wood from the table she was resting on...

「An unknown amount of time passed.」

"All done~ One for each of us. Eat up, then you can go wash up and sleep."

Half-asleep,

she heard Ningning’s gentle voice. She felt a soft finger tap her forehead, and a porcelain plate was placed lightly on the table. The mouth-watering aroma of bread and hot dogs filled the air around her.

Jiangg Yao rubbed her drowsy eyes.

"That took a while, huh?" she asked.

"You silly goose, it only took five minutes."

"Really? I feel like I slept for an hour. *Yawn*~"

"Oh, right, add the sauce yourself. Remember, it’s not good to eat anything too sweet in the morning."

Jiangg Ning reminded her, then tore open a carton of milk and began pouring it into the two clean glasses in front of them.

Wisps of steam rose from the pure white milk.

Jiangg Ning picked up a soft bun, squeezed some sauce onto the sausage, then began moving the sausage back and forth, rubbing it seriously against the inner walls of the bun.

Originally, the listless Jiangg Yao had been planning to just stuff a few bites in her mouth and go to sleep.

But when she lifted her eyes and saw what her older sister was doing, 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"PFFT—"

she sprayed out the mouthful of milk she had just drunk.

"Did you choke!?"

"*Cough, cough!* What... what are you doing?"

It’s unclear what came to Jiangg Yao’s mind, but she grabbed her plate and scurried back to her bedroom.

leaving a completely bewildered Ningning behind.

’So weird... Oh well, whatever.’
