A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 21

Before the final exam, Zhou Muxian specifically sent Yu You a message. That way, once she finished the exam and came out, she would be able to get right into Yu You’s car and happily go home.

However, an hour after the exam ended, there was still no sign of Yu You’s car at the school gate.

Zhou Muxian opened her phone to check her messages. Seeing that Yu You had not replied, she could not help feeling worried and quickly called Yu You.

The call connected immediately.

“Sister, how much longer until you arrive?” Zhou Muxian asked obediently.

The voice on the other end was somewhat embarrassed, yet also a little unconcerned. “An old classmate of mine suddenly returned to the country today and came to talk to me about an art exhibition. I forgot to pick you up for a moment. Are you still waiting?”

“Mm! I’ll keep waiting for Sister!”

Zhou Muxian’s firm, grudge-free answer made the person on the other end, who had originally wanted to tell Zhou Muxian to take a taxi home herself, fall silent for a full minute.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

A strange voice came from the other end of the phone. The tone was very concerned and gentle, natural and intimate like a close older sister who had known her for many years.

“My little sister got out of class and is waiting for me to pick her up,” Yu You explained to that unfamiliar voice, sounding somewhat troubled.

“It’s fine. We can go pick up your little sister together,” that unfamiliar voice said very considerately, taking good care of Yu You’s feelings.

This was the first time Zhou Muxian had ever been called “little sister” by Yu You. She should clearly have been very happy, but Zhou Muxian could not smile. Her mind was filled with that “we” spoken by the unfamiliar voice.

They were together, while she was only the little sister.

Realizing that this thought had popped into her head, Zhou Muxian was startled. She was the little sister in the first place. What nonsense was she thinking?

She was only circling around Yu You constantly to reverse the original cannon-fodder plot. How had she developed such sour thoughts?

She could not get too deep into the act.

“It’s fine. You rarely come back. I’ll let her go home by herself.”

Faced with the unfamiliar voice’s thoughtfulness, Yu You also chose to take care of the other person’s feelings first and rejected the suggestion. Then she moved closer to the phone and said to Zhou Muxian, “I still have something to do. Take a taxi home.”

Zhou Muxian instinctively pouted and deliberately spoke with a crying tone. “Okay, Sister. I’ll walk home by myself.”

“Are you sick? Can’t you get a taxi over there?!”

Yu You subconsciously shouted. Seeming to realize there was still someone beside her, she coughed lightly twice and deliberately added in a gentle voice, “If there are no taxis on the road, you can also call one on your phone. If you really don’t know how to call a taxi, I’ll call one for you on my phone.”

Zhou Muxian subconsciously pouted. It seemed that unfamiliar woman was very important to Yu You, since Yu You was even restraining her temper and pretending to be gentle.

“Why don’t we still go pick up your little sister together? It’s not safe for her to take a taxi home alone. We can eat together afterward too,” that unfamiliar voice said thoughtfully again.

This time, Yu You did not refuse, though her tone carried a bit of impatience. “Fine, fine. Then wait a little longer. I’ll be there soon.”

Half an hour later, Yu You’s car made a sharp turn and stopped in front of Zhou Muxian. The instant the window rolled down, Zhou Muxian saw a mature, light-featured beauty sitting in the passenger seat.

Her chestnut-colored long hair was tied up high, with a few loose strands naturally falling beside her cheeks. The most eye-catching part of her entire face was her almond-shaped eyes.

Her pupils seemed much lighter than most people’s, carrying an amber glow. When she looked at others, she appeared especially gentle and intellectual, with the air of someone untouched by the chaos of the world.

She suddenly grinned. “I thought your little sister was a child. Turns out she’s already a university-aged big kid. Hello, big kid. I’m your sister’s classmate, Chun Ling.”

When Chun Ling smiled, she was like a spring breeze brushing one’s face, making people feel warm and comfortable.

Zhou Muxian could not help feeling sour inside. Yu You’s taste really was consistent. She could never resist this type of mature, intellectual older sister.

However, the name Chun Ling sounded unfamiliar.

She did not know whether Chun Ling was a good character in the original book.

Seeing Zhou Muxian standing outside the car window, neither responding to Chun Ling nor getting in, Yu You could not help leaning over in confusion. “What are you thinking about so deeply? Sister Chun Ling is greeting you.”

Zhou Muxian came back to herself. Her gaze crossed over Yu You, and she nodded at the person in the passenger seat. “Hello.”

Hearing this, Yu You teased her with a smile. “Since when did you become so stingy with your words? You can’t even bear to call her Sister?”

“It’s all right. Little girls all have their own personalities.” Chun Ling hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over.

“What personality does she have? She’s just a little follower. At home, wherever I go, she follows. So annoying.” Yu You refuted carelessly.

By then, Zhou Muxian had already opened the rear door and gotten into the back seat. Hearing Yu You disdain her like this, a nameless fire also rose in her heart. She held it in, but in the end, she still could not resist.

“Sister Chun Ling, you’re so beautiful. I was staring just now because I was stunned. I’ve never seen a sister as beautiful as you. You’re even prettier than the Korean actress in that recent popular drama.”

Being praised like this, Chun Ling happily covered her mouth and laughed. “Oh my, Little Sister, if you say that, I’ll get embarrassed.”

“What does Sister have to be embarrassed about? A divine face like Sister’s would be the center of attention wherever you go. Simply loved by everyone, blooming flowers wherever you pass. Even I love you at first sight!”

The more Zhou Muxian spoke, the more enthusiastic she became. Amid Chun Ling’s hearty laughter, she stretched her neck and leaned forward. “Sister Chun Ling just returned to the country, right? If you want to go anywhere, you can look for me. I’d be very happy to be a pretty sister’s little walking stick…”

Screech—

Yu You suddenly slammed on the brakes. Zhou Muxian, who had been completely unprepared, pitched forward violently. If she had not grabbed the car seat in time with both hands, her whole body might have shot straight into the front center console.

Chun Ling was also badly startled and looked in terror at the empty road ahead. “What happened? Did we hit something?”

Yu You answered carelessly, “I saw wrong. A paper bag flew past, and I thought it was a kitten.”

At this point, she turned back to look at the still-frightened Zhou Muxian. Her bright, beautiful eyes were now filled with a few traces of hostility, and her words came out through gritted teeth.

“Are you all right, good little sister?”

Zhou Muxian avoided Yu You’s knife-like gaze, touched her nose, and answered quietly, “I’m fine. I just like how exciting Sister’s driving is. It saves me money on amusement park roller-coaster tickets.”

The corners of Yu You’s mouth lifted slightly, making it impossible to tell whether it was a joyful smile or sarcastic mockery.

Chun Ling did not seem to notice the strange atmosphere and kept praising their sisterly affection. “Your little sister really has a sweet mouth. No wonder she’s already a big kid and you still personally came to pick her up after school. It really makes an only child envious.”

Yu You scoffed. While turning the steering wheel, she glanced sideways at Zhou Muxian. “Since opportunity is better than planning, good little sister, why don’t you acknowledge Chun Ling as your sworn sister right now? You like her so much anyway.”

After what had happened with the brakes just now, how would Zhou Muxian dare? She lowered her head and did not dare make a sound.

Chun Ling, however, was quite interested. Seeing that Zhou Muxian did not respond, she warmly turned back to look at her. “If I could have such an obedient and sweet-mouthed little sister, of course I’d be more than happy.”

No one answered the words Chun Ling tossed out, and they fell awkwardly to the ground. The atmosphere instantly became a little subtle. She smiled awkwardly and turned back around, sitting in the passenger seat without speaking for a long while.

Another half hour passed, and Yu You suddenly slammed on the brakes. Zhou Muxian, who had secretly fastened her seat belt long ago, finally escaped disaster.

She raised her eyes and saw that the car had stopped at the Yu family’s front gate. Before she could move, Yu You’s impatient voice had already struck from the front.

“Get out.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Muxian agreed at once, hurriedly unfastened her seat belt, and quietly crawled out of the car.

After the car started again, Chun Ling, who had been silent for a long time, turned to look at Yu You’s still-cold face and asked curiously, “Youyou, when you were studying abroad before, how come I never heard you mention that you had a younger sister…”

Back when she had been studying abroad, how could she have known that she was not their biological daughter? And how could she have known that the biological daughter would come knocking one day and sweep her, the fake heiress, out the door?

Yu You replied awkwardly, trying to end the topic. “There’s nothing to say.”

But Chun Ling did not let it go. She said faintly, “Just now… you couldn’t have been jealous of your little sister, could you? I think you’re very possessive of her. Are you two biological sisters?”

Swish—

Yu You’s heart suddenly jumped, and she accidentally turned on the windshield wipers.

Chun Ling looked at the wipers swaying left and right and immediately understood. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she said nothing more.

It was definitely a forbidden sisterly romance! That was why she could not reveal a single word of it to outsiders!
