Chapter 33 Sister’s Guilt
Chapter 33 Sister’s Guilt
Sunlight streamed through the window.
The light shone on Bai Youqing's pale blue bed. She reached out and rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly sat up from the bed, and stretched.
I went to bed late last night, and now my head is a little foggy.
While she was in a daze,
Her brother's voice came from outside the door, "Xiaoqing, why aren't you up yet? Breakfast is on the table. You have tutoring today."
Hearing the knocking at the door, Bai Youqing felt inexplicably guilty. She always woke up at the exact time and never needed her useless older brother to knock on the door.
Ignoring the fact that she had put on slippers, she ran barefoot onto the cold floor and rushed into the bathroom to wash up.
When Bai Youqing pushed open the door, she found that the table was already filled with steaming bowls of congee with preserved egg and lean pork.
And within those few minutes...
My brother was lying on the sofa and seemed to be asleep. It looked like he came home quite late last night.
While eating breakfast, Bai Youqing looked at Bai Yuze with a complicated expression, feeling a surge of guilt.
My brother must have been very tired last night, but she was still so unreasonable.
Now I haven't even slept well myself, yet I still get up so early to make her breakfast.
Honestly, it's not like she can't go out to eat.
Bai Youqing, carrying her schoolbag and with her hair in a single ponytail, looked back and felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him. Finally, she took a blanket from her room and covered her brother's stomach with it.
Yeah, that feels good.
After closing the door behind her, Bai Youqing suddenly slapped her forehead.
She then realized she hadn't asked her brother why the bathroom had a completely different shower gel scent.
The fragrance smells nice, but after smelling it for a while, I inexplicably feel chest tightness, discomfort, and nausea.
Could it be a cheap, low-quality shower gel?
Honestly, my brother is too frugal; he won't even buy a decent bottle of shower gel.
When Bai Yuze opened his eyes, it was already past ten o'clock.
I yawned, pushed open the door, and found that Iris was still asleep. I silently marveled at how good her sleep quality was.
I started working, first tidying up the house a little, and then pulling my sister's bedding onto the balcony to enjoy the sun's rays.
Finally, he left a note on the table and went out to buy groceries.
Go to the farmers' market to buy fresh vegetables, scallions, ginger, and garlic.
After turning a corner, I went to the fresh food market next door and explored the entire market before finally gathering all the ingredients I needed.
When I got home, Iris was already awake, lounging on the sofa, watching the popular anime series "Magical Girl Lime".
Every time I see magical girls thwarting the schemes of abyssal monsters, punching and kicking disaster beasts and witches, I'm overjoyed, just like a little kid.
They might even call out a few words from time to time.
"Good job! Kill this big bad guy! I've disliked her for a long time."
"Every day is spent either in meetings or on the way to meetings. We haven't learned the essence of human society, but only the dross."
Bai Yuzhe glanced sideways; the current plot segment was stuck on the final scene where the leader of the Abyss Demoness, Nyoro, was being brutally beaten by a group of magical girls.
And I must say, the unique temperament of the cypress tree—arrogant and haughty—is vividly and realistically portrayed in the anime.
"Hey, stop looking! Stop looking! Haven't you had enough of the abyss yet? Go cook! We're going out to play this afternoon!"
Iris turned her head and found that Bai Yuze was also watching TV. Her smooth and delicate arm blocked his view, righteously covering his eyes.
Bai Yuzhe grinned at this, saying that his sister was like this at home, and Iris was like this in the present; they both knew how to enjoy life.
Upon entering the kitchen, fortunately, most of the ingredients for the "husband and wife lung slices" were already prepared; the main challenge was the tedious braising process.
Inside the kitchen, Bai Yuze was busy working everywhere.
Outside the kitchen, Iris expertly pulled Bai Yuze's phone from the sofa.
Place your finger on it, and it unlocks with practiced ease.
I opened my contacts, and there was only my sister's number in them.
He opened WeChat, glanced at it, and after confirming that no bad woman had sent him any flirtatious messages, he was quite disappointed.
However, she quickly found a new source of amusement. She unearthed a hidden group chat and posted several photos she had taken the night before in one of the groups.
Iris (Phantom Butterfly): "Sigh, my little Phantom Butterfly's body is lacking in development and nourishment! I didn't have much fun last night."
Yugiri: "Yeah, I want to play too. (Tentacle.jpg)"
Iris: "Go away, go away, this is adult business, kids shouldn't interfere."
Yugiri: "Hmph, I'm not the same person I used to be anymore."
Iris (Phantom Butterfly): "Pat pat.jpg, keep it up, I hope to see the day you crush Iris soon."
The range hood stopped working, and Bai Yuze came out carrying a bowl of food. Iris took two pictures of the food.
He then happily placed his phone on the table, though he could still see the message from Yugiri.
Yugiri: "Crocodile kicking.jpg"
Yugiri: "Speak properly to that idiot, Gencho, and tell him not to give orders to his subordinates so carelessly!"
Yugiri: "Now those crazy women are asking me to return the Abyss Stones, saying that we in the Abyss are untrustworthy."
Yugiri: "Damn it, once it's in my Yugiri's purse, there's no way it can be returned."
Yugiri: "Oh, right, Iris-nee, remember to pack up any leftovers. We have a refrigerator here."
Iris: "Your map of Yan is not long enough, Little Evening Mist."
Yugiri: "Grinning.jpg"
As I walked out of the kitchen, I saw Iris holding his phone.
Bai Yuzhe was not surprised at all, and simply asked calmly.
"Didn't I buy you each a phone last time? Why do you still need to use mine?"
Iris quickly replied to the message, her deep purple eyes fixed on Bai Yuze, and said earnestly.
"I'm just worried you'll be fooled by other bad women~"
You should know that you already have three of us Abyss Demonesses: a cute and silly loli, a seductive succubus, a cool and aloof nun, and even a non-human Abyss female.
You can't abandon the entire Abyss Forest just because of one human female!
Bai Yuze sighed.
What about the females on the other side of the abyss?
Humanoid, non-human, anthropomorphic, stitched, limb-like, and tentacled, they are all colorful and each has its own beauty.
"Let's eat, let's eat, we're going out to play later."
During the meal, the two remained silent. After finishing, Iris waved her small hand.
All the food on the table had disappeared.
Needless to say, Bai Yuze understood that it was probably just that Xiwu was craving something.
But even though they ate, they remembered to return the plate...
After eating and drinking her fill, Iris lay lazily on the sofa, stretching out her arms and squinting her eyes to enjoy the air conditioning.
The Abyss's change in strategy is not only due to a change in the candidates for the Lord of the Abyss, but also because it seems that the Abyss is now also enjoying the technological conveniences of the human world.
