After Transmigrating, I Have To Win Over The Female Lead - Chapter 4

In the main hall.

“Yaoyao, don’t be anxious… Lianlian will be here soon.”

Liu Hui looked at Li Ruoyao helplessly.

Li Ruoyao was not actually Liu Hui’s biological daughter, but Liu Hui still treated her just like her own.

Over the years, Liu Hui had also noticed that Li Ruoyao’s feelings for Li Xilian were different. Liu Hui herself was not some rigid, old-fashioned person. Compared with a stranger, of course she hoped Li Ruoyao could win her daughter over.

Unfortunately, the original Li Xilian had never understood those feelings.

Li Xilian changed into a new outfit before going to see her sister. The red gauze dress was simply worn, yet it made her whole person look heroic and spirited.

“Sister!”

Li Ruoyao heard that familiar voice. The moment she turned around, she was pulled into a full embrace. The corners of her lips lifted without her even realizing it.

“Lianlian, it’s been so long.”

Li Ruoyao hugged this little sun of hers back.

Lianlian was always different in front of her than she was in front of others.

In front of her, she was lively like a child, a sharp contrast to her cold and distant appearance.

“Has Lianlian been obedient at home?” Li Ruoyao couldn’t help touching her face.

She had gotten thinner.

“I’ve been obedient, Sister.”

Li Ruoyao’s looks were not as cool and aloof as Li Xilian’s. Instead, she was gentle and noble, with delicate features and a high, straight nose bridge. Her deep eyes made her seem like a dependable elder sister, as though one could rely on her forever.

She wore the moon-white uniform of her sect, with a fiery red phoenix embroidered over the chest. It was the attire of a core disciple.

“Then should Sister give Lianlian a reward?”

Li Ruoyao’s eyes were full of tenderness. As if possessed, Li Xilian nodded.

Li Ruoyao pulled her closer and kissed her on the forehead.

Li Xilian’s face turned red with a whoosh.

This… this, this should be normal, right?

“Do you like it?”

Li Ruoyao nervously clenched the hand hidden at her side.

After standing there stunned for a while, Li Xilian finally came back to herself.

“I… I like it.”

“The gift Sister prepared for you is in my room. Stay with Sister tonight, all right?”

Only then did Li Ruoyao reveal her true purpose.

“Sure. It’s been a long time since I stayed with Sister too.”

Li Xilian agreed.

Inside, the little figure in Li Ruoyao’s heart was already jumping up and down, but on the surface, she still looked at Li Xilian with gentle composure.

“Then it’s settled.”

“Okay,” Li Xilian agreed.

For the entire day, Li Xilian accompanied Li Ruoyao around to have fun. They bought all kinds of snacks—candied hawthorn, osmanthus cakes, glazed pastries, apricot blossom cakes…

“Lianlian, we can’t finish so much food. Why don’t we share some with the servants?”

Li Ruoyao knew her younger sister’s personality, but she knew even better that Li Xilian would never refuse anything she asked.

“Mm. Sister, it’s been a long day. You should go back to your room first. I’ll distribute the food.”

Li Xilian still felt bad about letting her get tired. After spending the day with her, she had truly experienced how wonderful it was to have an elder sister.

“Lianlian is so good. I’ll wait for you.”

After saying that, Li Xilian first watched her sister leave. Only then did she carry the food with a few maids and go distribute it.

First, she gave her mother the things she liked. Then came the housekeeper, the maids, the guards, and the others.

“Why is there still one portion left?”

“Second Miss, we still haven’t gone to Hanqiu’s place,” Xiao Su answered from beside her.

She was Li Xilian’s personal maid.

“Oh, then you…”

Before Li Xilian could finish, 009 cut in from the side.

“Side mission issued: make the female lead eat your leftover food.”

Li Xilian instantly lost all will to live.

“It’s already so late! 009, you’re still making me do missions? Are you even human?”

That emotionless mechanical voice sounded again.

“I am not human.”

She let out a long sigh, snatched the bag from Xiao Su’s hands, and rushed straight off to find Hanqiu, telling the maids to go rest.

Inside the room, Hanqiu was reading when the door was kicked open without any warning.

Under the moonlight, Hanqiu sat properly in a white robe, reading in the place where the moonlight fell. The clear, bright glow shone over her, making her look like a star that had fallen into the mortal world.
