Fate is most likely to strike you when you need comfort the most, it's true. Happiness has always been just a fleeting moment, very soon, it will...

Yu Nai suddenly said not a word, his hands turned into a pair of iron pliers and fiercely pinched my face.

"Wake up, wake up!!"

Yu Nai's face became more and more blurry, until it eventually transformed directly into the terrifying angry face of Yukari.

Tears were streaming down my face.

Who said that a man must exude an aura of being unyielding and invincible? It's just that my dark past hasn't been dug up yet.

Yu Nai's face blushed and she lowered her voice, "But I like Juxi that way!"

"I..."

I didn't know how to respond to Yu Nai's unprecedented fervor today.

Something was really off today, and Yu Nai's presence was becoming more and more unreal. The sun was setting, time was passing by, so fast, wait?

After pressing the phone screen several times, no matter how I tried, it wouldn't turn on.

"But... I really like..."

"I know, but I can't accept it."

"...Then why did you expose all my past ugly deeds? What was your intention in confessing something so damaging to my spirit?!"

Yu Nai's strange questioning left me with a sense of anger.

"But... Oh my god, are you deliberately pushing me into a corner?"

Smack! Smack!

It felt like I was in a dream, even the slaps felt so real!

Yukari turned away with a "hmph", "Who were you dreaming about that was making you so happy!"

I shook my groggy head, praying nervously in my heart: I hope this isn't a dream!

So in the end, I still didn't wake up from the dream...

"Wake up, didn't you get enough sleep last night?!" Yukari slapped my butt.

Seeing that I showed no sign of waking up, not even making a sound, she finally lost her temper and viciously hit me on the head with a cup!

With a bang, I jumped up from the sofa and asked her, "What do you mean by that?!"

"It's nothing," Yukari looked at me with interest, "Just a few mosquitoes flying around your head, so I 'took care' of them."

Honestly, after being hit on the head with a plastic cup, my head felt a bit dizzy, and there was a hot sensation on my scalp, which I had to bear for a while before it eased.

But when I saw the plastic cup in Yukari's hand, I immediately realized.

"Nonsense, have you ever seen anyone use a cup to hit mosquitoes?"

"Who asked you to pretend to be asleep just now? Deserved it. If you had told the truth, I still prefer the silly Juxi from before high school."

"You--!"

Although the person in front of me was indeed an elder sister, saying such things...

"Why are you being so condescending! Clearly, you're not older than me, but you still act so superior just because you're my sister?"

"Just six months and a few days! Is it necessary to always act like the big sister! You're just putting up a big show of superiority."

At that moment, an elderly voice came from the front door, "Oh my, are you siblings having such an interesting conversation?"

A shadow appeared at the door, revealing the figure of a young girl. She had short blue crystal hair dancing in the wind, clear blue eyes, snow-white skin, and lips as red as cherries—Chiyori.

How could this be? I was puzzled, I swear it was my grandmother's voice I heard just now, but now...

Then, an elderly lady jumped out from behind Chiyori and tightly held Chiyori's hand, thanking her, "Thank you so much... grandson, if it weren't for this kind little sister, grandma would have had a hard time finding your house."

...What's going on?!

If my late grandfather was a wise elder whom one could meet but not seek, then my grandmother was the active family historian who knew everything from reading world history since childhood.

The slender old lady in front of me was my grandmother, who might know something about our ancestors.

My grandmother sighed, "It seems that it's a bit difficult to have Juxi practice with you."

"Of course, Grandma. I've been saying this all along. Juxi is always idle, dreaming of picking up girls in school!"

Yukari echoed my grandmother and added salt to the wound by teasing me.

"Grandma..." I cried, trying to explain.

Seeing my futile attempts, Yukari glanced at me disdainfully and then cuddled up to Grandma.

But Grandma wasn't buying it, and being concerned about the situation with me, she scolded me first, "Enough, Yukari told me everything. Why can't you get along nicely with your sister?"

...

I couldn't listen to Grandma's words right now; I was still pondering over the dream I had just woken up from.

Let me clarify the situation: the series of confessions in the dream just now was indeed all a play. The other party was none other than the spirited and arrogant childhood friend, Yu Nai.

But dreams are just dreams. If my pride is injured in reality, I'll show her what I'm made of!

"Hmph, I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
