[CH.31] Senior sister's little temper
Although the young man's attempt at striking up a conversation failed, the girl next to him still wanted to talk to Han Huayang. As her gaze kept drifting towards Han Huayang, he began to feel a bit embarrassed.
Why is that girl looking at me... Could it be that she thinks the dress I'm wearing is strange?
The dress made by the senior sister is both splendid and unique, and Han Huayang's skin is partially visible beneath the gauze. Han Huayang shifted to a position where the girl couldn't see her, placing her hand on her chest and skirt, feeling a bit shy."
"What's wrong with you? Is your breast pad falling off?"
"No!"
"Then why are you suddenly fidgeting? Do you need to use the restroom?"
"No..."
"Ah, I get it now. You must be secretly looking at me!"
"I'm not looking at you at all!"
"Tsk, not very candid, huh? By the way, when is the girl who invited you out coming over? She's taking forever."
During the conversation with his senior sister, Han Huayang gradually forgot about the gaze from the person next to him. The senior sister's voice had a calming effect on him. Looking at her smile, Han Huayang felt genuinely happy from the depths of his heart.
A white cat pendant hung from his senior sister's neck, which could complement the black cat pendant on his hand to form a pair.
In the past, Han Huayang often went out alone with his senior sister. However, it was usually to go to internet cafes to play games, and occasionally they would have a drink together. This was his first time going shopping with his senior sister. Could this be considered a date?
"Senior sister."
"What's the matter?"
"Do you think... do you think I'm... cute?"
"You're very cute. I feel like I want to turn you into a doll and take you home. Dress you up beautifully every day."
"That's good then..."
Han Huayang lowered his head. He had originally intended to ask his senior sister about her opinion of him, but asking her such a question felt like confessing his feelings.
For him, his affection for his senior sister came from the attributes of a magical girl, it was a kind of illusion he developed as Alice towards his senior sister.
Han Huayang wasn't ready to fully accept these feelings yet.
Before realizing he liked his senior sister, their relationship was like that of siblings, intimate enough to share their troubles as friends. His senior sister's attitude toward him had always been like this, often teasing him, playing pranks on him, and sticking close to him.
Liking someone could be a personal matter, but if he wanted to genuinely progress their relationship, Han Huayang wasn't prepared for that just yet.

"Sorry, I'm late. Have you been waiting long, sis?"
"It's okay, we haven't been waiting too long."
When Zhang Jingya arrived, she was 30 minutes later than the agreed-upon time. Today, Zhang Jingya's makeup looked much better than before. She no longer had the heavy makeup and flashy style she used to have; instead, she chose a fresh and elegant look. Zhang Jingya was wearing the same dress as Han Huayang, and she had cute pink hairpins in her hair.
"Qianqiu took a long time to help me get ready. By the way, what do you think? Do I look good in this dress?"
"You look very cute, it suits you very well."
In reality, this dress wasn't very suitable for Zhang Jingya; she didn't have the height to pull off the dress's aura. She was petite by nature, and at this moment, she looked even younger. Instead of a high school student, Zhang Jingya now resembled a precocious elementary school student.
After receiving compliments from Han Huayang, Zhang Jingya was very happy, almost jumping up and clapping her hands.
"Sis, your dress is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
"I designed and made this dress myself. You can't buy it with money, you know."
The senior sister eavesdropped on their conversation and then turned her head to glance at Li Meiting. Her gaze moved from Li Meiting's face downward, and her eyes widened when they reached her chest.
"Sis, who is this big-chested girl?!"
"She's my senior sister..."
"Hello, hello. I'm Han Huayang's senior sister, Li Meiting. May I ask this flat-chested girl if she's lost her parents?"
The senior sister's lips twitched, and she forced a smile, but her eyes revealed hostility. Zhang Jingya didn't back down either; she stared at Li Meiting and sarcastically remarked:
"I mean, your handbag's chain is practically stuck in a trench, did you forget to wear a bra or something?"
"Hmph, someone like you who doesn't have any cleavage doesn't need a bra at all."
"You—flat-chested girl still wears a bra, right, sis!"
Zhang Jingya tried to pull Han Huayang onto her "flat-chested team," holding onto his arm and making funny faces at Li Meiting.
"Han Huayang never wears that stuff, she's a free-spirited girl. Bras are totally unnecessary for her."
"Wow, sis, are you really that carefree?" Zhang Jingya looked at Han Huayang with admiration.
"No, don't listen to her nonsense! Senior sister, you seem a bit strange today."
"Tsk, let's hurry up and get what we need so that you can continue your livestream in the evening."
Li Meiting angrily avoided Han Huayang's gaze. She did seem a bit strange today. Li Meiting usually had a very amiable attitude towards outsiders, only showing her irritable side when she transformed into the magical girl Lily.
Today, Li Meiting seemed easily angered. Perhaps it was because of her "menstruation" visit, which could cause mood swings?
Yeah, that must be the reason.
It definitely wasn't because she heard Han Huayang complimenting another girl—damn it, Han Huayang had never said Li Meiting was cute!
"Oh, by the way, sis, I washed your clothes and ironed them again..."
Zhang Jingya was about to take out Han Huayang's clothes when she realized she hadn't brought her backpack at all.
"Sis, it seems like I forgot to bring your clothes..."
"It's okay."
"Yeah, let's head back early then."
Li Meiting hastily interjected, grabbing Han Huayang's hand and preparing to leave. Her movements were somewhat rough, and she had squeezed Han Huayang's hand red.
"Senior sister, there's no need to be in such a hurry. What's going on with you today?"
"Uh... hmph! Just forget it!"
Li Meiting pouted like a child, sat back down, tilted her face upward, and blew on her bangs.

While this conversation was taking place, some girls arrived at the neighboring table.
"Hello, I'm here."
"Chunhua, you're so slow. Sit down quickly. Look at those girls over there, they're all so beautiful. Especially the one in the black dress, her figure is amazing. Could she be a model?"
The girl who had been staring at Han Huayang pulled the newcomer closer, and both of them leaned on the table to discreetly observe the three people in the distance.
The guy who had failed in his attempt to strike up a conversation earlier commented, "Calling that flat-chested girl stylish? Seriously?"
"That's called having an advanced sense of fashion. I don't think you understand it at all."
"Hey, isn't that Li Meiting?"
Hearing the voice, Han Huayang and his senior sister turned their heads.
The newcomer at the neighboring table was Wu Chunhua, who worked at the bakery downstairs. She had her shifts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and she had just met Li Meiting the day before yesterday.
The girl who had been particularly attentive to Han Huayang exclaimed, "You know each other?"
"We even encountered a monster attack together, but we got separated on the way. You could say we're life-and-death buddies," Li Meiting replied.
