Upon hearing my question, Xiao Sheng's eyes widened and she seemed to have a feeling of confusion, as if her brain was in chaos due to a major stimulation.

"W-what...w-what...w-what...what thing?! I don't know! Don't ask me!" She frantically denied, her head shaking like a tambourine.

Her reaction actually confirmed my answer.

"So, you are Bone Girl, right?"

"I'm not! I didn't do it! You're mistaken!" Xiao Sheng immediately denied three times.

What is going on? Xiao Sheng clearly knows that Night Source Ming is me, so why did she want to fight me? Why did she act like she didn't understand when I asked her about it last night?

And most importantly, why did she agree to marry me in the game?

Just relying on keeping a promise is no longer enough to explain the current situation.

"Xiao Sheng, what is really going on here? Tell me the truth!"

As I spoke, I approached her. Xiao Sheng hurriedly stepped back, but soon she was blocked by the edge of the bed. She didn't even notice it and fell down, exclaiming as she fell onto the bed.

Without hesitation, I walked up to her. With one knee on the edge of the bed and my hands on her shoulders, she had nowhere to escape.

Don't misunderstand! I'm not taking advantage of my own sister. I'm just preventing her from running away!

Xiao Sheng placed her hands close to her chest, looking flustered and embarrassed.

"Brother..." She cautiously tugged at my sleeve.

"Cute acting won't work! Just confess!"

Haha, usually you have a cold face towards me, but today, it's your turn to cry!

"I don't know!"

Seeing that her cute act didn't work, Xiao Sheng seemed determined to resist till the end. She turned her head to the side, showing me her puffed-up cheek.

"You don't confess even when you're at death's door?"

"Hmph!"

"It seems like you won't confess, huh?"

With a fierce expression, I swiftly put my hands under Xiao Sheng's armpits and held her soft sides.

"Hahaha..."

Xiao Sheng instinctively laughed a little. Her laughter was very pleasant, crisp like someone lightly shaking a silver bell.

"Will you confess now?"

"Brother...don't..."

"It seems like you still won't confess, huh?"

I made a menacing expression and started to tickle Xiao Sheng's sides.

Don't misunderstand! I'm using this method to extract information from her!

"Hahaha...hahaha...brother...please...hahaha...stop..."

To be honest, I haven't played like this with Xiao Sheng for many years. I can't even remember the last time I heard her laughter.

Over the years, Xiao Sheng has become much softer. I remember that girls generally have a slightly higher body fat percentage than boys, and maybe that's the reason why Xiao Sheng's sides felt so soft. Perhaps that's why people said that something warm and soft is like a piece of jade.

I saw tears welling up in Xiao Sheng's eyes from being tickled and I let go.

"How about now? Still want to talk tough?"

At this moment, Xiao Sheng was breathing heavily, her face as red as an apple.

Haha, it only took twenty seconds for her to be like this. Indeed, Xiao Sheng's physical endurance is still weak.

After being tickled, Xiao Sheng seemed to have reverted back to the clingy little sister from several years ago, though her facial expression remained blank.

"I'll call mom and tell her! Just you wait!"

Oh? You dare to threaten me!

I grabbed Xiao Sheng's body again, but this time she was prepared. She immediately arched her back, but it didn't change anything.

However, something was strange this time. I felt like Xiao Sheng's body was even softer than before.

So, I instinctively squeezed and realized that it was excessively soft. I had to press down almost a whole joint before touching the bone.

This girl stays in her room and eats all day without exercising. She has definitely gained weight, my little foodie!

"Brother...mm..."

She let out a soft, tender moan.

I lowered my head and met Xiao Sheng's eyes, which were filled with shyness as if water was about to overflow. She noticed me looking at her and immediately turned her head. I noticed that her ears were as red as if blood was about to drip from them.Upon closer inspection, oh no, what a blunder! How did I end up pinching it there...

This little girl has grown up...

I pretended as if nothing happened and pulled my hand back, then pretended to cough a couple of times.

"Now, tell me honestly! What's going on?"

"I, I'm not telling you! Pervert!"

Xiaosheng's face burned, but she didn't let go of her mouth.

"I'm asking you! Since you knew all along that I am Night Source Ming, what were you pretending to not know about last night? Were you deliberately pretending for me to see?!"

"Yes, so what?!"

You're so cunning, this little girl of yours! Deliberately stomping on the floor to get my attention, then muttering to herself while taking a shower - I bet she thought I would eavesdrop if I were dead.

I never expected that I would be played by my own sister so clearly.

"At that time, by the hot spring pool in the game, was that also part of your plan?"

This puzzled me even more. How did she know I would go there? I didn't receive any guidance from anyone.

"You were clearly peeping at others in the hot spring..."

So, it was an accident? In other words, Xiaosheng was setting up a trap behind it all?

She acted so convincingly! I didn't see through any of it.

Play-fighting with me, deliberately losing to me, and then saying that it's up to me to decide - what a well-calculated scheme!

But why did she do all this?

Faced with my question, Xiaosheng couldn't come up with a proper answer.

"I just wanted to mess with you! Don't be so vain!"

Mess with me? I'm afraid she's the one who ended up getting messed up.

"Then, when I proposed to marry you, why did you agree?!"

I approached her.

Hearing this question, Xiaosheng trembled all over. She slightly turned her head and glanced at me up close, her face alternating between red and white.

"I-I just said yes on a whim!"

"For real?"

"For real!"

I stared at her guilt-ridden face for a while, then released the pressure I had on her and stood up to leave.

"Then I'll go cancel the marriage relationship."

Just as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt Xiaosheng firmly grasping my sleeve from behind.

"Don't!"

"Why not? Siblings can't get married even in a game, you know!"

I reminded her.

A long and awkward silence followed.

I felt the trembling hand holding onto my sleeve, and I'm sure that the owner of that body, both physically and emotionally, was shaking much more than that.

"If we didn't know... then that would be fine, right?"

"What did you say?"

Xiaosheng spoke too softly, and I couldn't hear clearly.

So, I heard the courageous breath coming from behind.

"I said... Bone Girl doesn't recognize Lu Ming, and Night Source Ming doesn't recognize Lu Yuansheng, would that... be okay?"

I shrugged off her hand and walked towards the door.

"Alright, we'll agree to that."

I said so before closing the door.
