Phew~ Another new day, a day without school!

Yes, it's Sunday. After a warm chat with my little sister this morning, I walked to my room door wearing the outfit she picked for me. Yep, that's right! After failing to tease Xiao Ling and getting pushed instead, I'm not satisfied. I'm going to wake up sleepy Miko! Time to vent my grudge, hehehe.

In my memory, Xiao Ling might have been mischievous sometimes, but Miko has always been gentle and obedient. She's always thoughtful of me. Teasing her should be fine, right? How about a good morning kiss~

I gently opened the door and stepped inside. Miko lay quietly on the bed, like Sleeping Beauty waiting for seven dwarves to give her a loving peck.

Eagerly, I reached her bedside. Gazing at her sleeping face, I leaned down to kiss her forehead and wake her. Just then, a clear girl's figure appeared behind me. Her pale face showed pure jealousy.

*(Hua Shu! Playing the Sleeping Beauty trope? Then I'll make you sleep with this beauty right here! Hmph, having me by your side should be enough! Just one more day... one more day, and you'll know I exist...)*

From the corner of my eye, a white shadow flashed by. I didn't mind it—saw it last night too. Must be fatigue. Kissing Miko's forehead will recharge me! My movement never paused. Now, only 0.99999 centimeters from her forehead. A little shy about this kiss, hehehe!

Ouch! Ugh, what? Who kicked my butt! I was about to kiss Miko when my butt got shoved. No time to think—the perfect good morning kiss turned into... what!?

Right now, I'm pressing Yating's ample bosom against Miko's face. My cold hand slipped into her pajamas. Miko jolted awake, confused. Struggling to breathe, she instinctively bit the soft thing blocking her airway.

"Ow! Miko, let go! Stop biting—it's me, Hua Shu!" I shouted in pain to wake dazed Miko. Great, bite marks on both sides of my chest. Such a two-timing man I am, hahaha.

"Oh, Hua Shu. You scared me! I dreamed someone choked me with a water balloon! Couldn't breathe, so I bit. By the way, why're you here so early giving fanservice? I'm not some manga protagonist who likes this."

"I'm not giving fanservice... Wait? Miko, did you read manga last night?"

"Yeah! Your room's full of comics. I read until 2 AM. Felt like someone watched with me, but it wasn't creepy, so I ignored it."

*Did Miko binge adult manga all night? And my room really feels off—last night's white shadow, today's kick... But Miko watching adult stuff is scarier. Xiao Ling's already like this; I can't stop her. Miko, you're my last fortress! Don't turn weird.*

I looked at Miko. Her expression seemed normal. I sighed in relief. "Miko, those comics... well, they're just silly drawings. Don't take them seriously, okay?"

"So loving, Hua Shu!"

"What?!"

"Seeing two girls hugging felt really warm."

"Mhm, right! Glad you like it. Hurry up and get dressed! It's almost 10 AM." *So she read yuri adult manga? Phew... my ass! I'm a girl now. If Miko awakens weird tendencies, how can I face Uncle Li? That image... kinda excites me! But please, just my imagination. I prefer normal Miko~*

"Hua Shu, I need to change. Step out for a sec. Hmm, you look really pretty today~"

"Ah~ okay. Xiao Ling picked this. I don't know how to dress."

I closed the door behind me. Xiao Ling had just finished washing up. She emerged from the bathroom, staring at me cutely.

"What? Do I have a hickey?" I asked.

"Tch~ Perverted brother! You exit Miko's room and ask about hickeys? So lewd!"

Hahaha, sorry for being perverted. But even I wouldn't grab a girl and plop her on my lap at dawn. Seriously...

"Hey~ bro, come in here!"

"No way, are you... uncomfortable again?" I gasped. It hadn't been long!

"No! I'll tie your hair up. You keep flicking it—it looks annoying."

Xiao Ling pulled me to her room. She sat me before the mirror, grabbed a hairband, and tied a side ponytail. Hmm, not bad. Neck felt cooler. More girlish now—a trace less charm, more energy.

"Ta-da~ All done!"

She beamed, circling me, then demanded I comb her hair.

"Ugh, do it yourself. Such a hassle."

"I helped you. Now you help me, bro~"

That "bro" thrilled me. But: "I don't know how! I might hurt you."

"Learn! You'll comb my hair daily from now on!"

"Good grief, why?"

"It's a skill you must master as my hus... brother!"

*What did she say? 7? Whatever. She insisted—I'll learn!*

"Ah~~~ bro~ slower, it hurts!"

"How's this?"

"Oh~ harder!"

"Ah! Too hard, you idiot!"

*Your moans were too seductive!*

"Hand higher up. This is uncomfortable."

"Oh~"

Bang bang!

Miko flung the door open, face flushed. She yelled: "Hua Shu, finally making a move on your sister?! You beast... wait?"

"Miko, what nonsense? I was just combing Xiao Ling's hair. And I'm a girl—what can I even do?"

"Girls can also... hehehe, my mistake. Breakfast time! You two continue."

*Yep, Miko watched forbidden stuff last night! As an otaku veteran, I saw past her beauty—her calm heart bloomed into a pure yuri lily.*

After Miko left, Xiao Ling gripped my arm nervously. "Has Miko figured out our relationship?"

"Miko's known we're siblings since she was six!"

"No, not that kind."

"What other kind?"

*Huh? New setting? I didn't know!*

Xiao Ling: *(You're my future wife~)*

"Tomorrow we'll be classmates, Hua Shu-classmate!"

"Oh... that's it."

Just as we stared silently, Miko's voice called: "Hua Shu! Xiao Ling! Breakfast is ready—your favorite egg pancakes~"

I dragged Xiao Ling out. *She dislikes fried eggs? Picky eating ruins health.* At the dining table, Miko suddenly eyed my legs.

"Hua Shu, didn't I say? Wear socks unless it's scorching. Or your muscles stiffen—you'll scream in pain!"

Miko stood, asking where Xiao Ling's delivered box was. Xiao Ling pointed to her bedroom. Miko yanked me back inside.

"Seriously, Hua Shu. Not enough pain yesterday? Without me here, you'd be hospitalized in days." She rummaged in a box, voice disappointed.

I peeked. Hehehe—boxes of colorful pantyhose, thigh-high socks, and seasonal high heels. I felt the world's deep malice!

"What's in the third box?"

"Massager and medical gear. Prevents old injuries flaring if you fall."

"I feel fine. No trouble needed."

Miko ignored me. She slipped black silk thigh-highs onto my legs, then gazed up deeply—as if memorizing me. I stared back. *Tsk, if no girl likes me later, Miko's a good backup. Hahaha, normies! While you chase goddesses and become backups, I've already marked one as mine in this bedroom.*

*Normies, you sneer at us otaku: "Look outside! The world's amazing!" Joke! Do I need to look? I know that world...*

*It's my empire...*

Lost in mocking normies, I wore a sneer. Miko thought I laughed at her. Angry at my defiance, she hoisted my ankle onto her shoulder, sat on my other leg, and shoved hard. My daydream shattered! Reality hit—Miko's furious face, my ankle burning with soreness and itch.

"Ow ow! So sore, Miko, I was wrong!"

"Punishment for not listening, Hua Shu!"

"I'm listening!"

"What did I say? Hmm?" She pressed harder.

"You said... go out more!" I babbled in pain, spilling my thoughts.

"Pfft! I said obey me from now on, Hua Shu!"

"Okay! I'll share my empire with you!"

"Hua Shu, you're silly..."

Miko almost forgave my wails. Then she remembered something. She lifted my foot, examined it closely, and stroked it gently.

*(I get foot fetishes in manga now. My feet were just disabled before—but in Hua Shu's eyes, they're so cute~~~)*

Miko's face reddened. Her stroking tickled. *New punishment? Miko, laugh if you want! Don't hold back—your face is crimson!*

"Bro! Food's cold! What're you doing? Socks take this long? Doing something naughty?"

*Sister, when did you get so pure?! Miko and I aren't doing anything!*

After breakfast, I had nothing to do. Miko and my sister went out to buy something, so I sat on the sofa reading a novel. Wow~ this story’s pretty interesting—a boy nicknamed Rabbit and a girl raising her little sister together.

The girl’s parents died in a car accident!? Hmm, that’s kinda like my family situation. Why haven’t I met someone to take care of us siblings? When school starts, I’ll stand near campus and cry to see if any girls comfort me. Hehehe, just thinking about it feels so embarrassing.

Still, Miko’s a lot like that boy—thoughtful and caring. Tsk, she’s almost like she wants to take my sister and me to her place. Hmm, I should visit her house during next week’s holiday!
