Her game ID was “Xiao Nuonuo,” but her real name was Lan Yinuo.

Ruo Xiaoxi had joined the guild very early on. Lan Yinuo had founded it, but she wasn’t the guild leader back then. When Ruo Xiaoxi heard people talking about her, they said she was getting ready for the high school entrance exam.

Ruo Xiaoxi was in ninth grade at the time, too. Who would’ve thought the guild leader was the same age?

The difference was, Ruo Xiaoxi didn’t need to take the high school entrance exam. Her grades were excellent, and during the first semester of ninth grade, she went and took the entrance exam for the city’s No. 1 High School on her own. After being accepted, she was admitted directly.

Later, once the high school entrance exams were over, Lan Yinuo came back to play during summer break and took over as guild leader.

After Ruo Xiaoxi finished her daily quests in the game, Lan Yinuo seemed to have woken up, too. The moment she heard Ruo Xiaoxi chatting on YY, she seemed to snap fully awake.

“Ruo Cutie?” Once she woke up, all she could do was call Ruo Xiaoxi by her in-game nickname.

“Xiao Nuonuo, you’re finally awake! We’ve been listening to you snore all morning.”

“What?! I—I was snoring?! Oh no, why was I snoring? And you heard me?!” A panicked voice came from the other end, as if she’d just witnessed the end of all ladylike dignity.

“Hahaha, it’s okay, it’s okay. It was really cute.”

“Y-You can’t say it was cute!” Lan Yinuo was so embarrassed that she quickly typed a private message to Ruo Xiaoxi in the game: “Mute yourself on YY. Let’s video call instead. It’ll be easier.”

“I haven’t gotten ready. I just tied my hair back, so I don’t look very good,” Ruo Xiaoxi replied.

“Who cares about that? Are you here on a blind date or something? I—I just got up, and I’m not even wearing a bra.”

“You want to have a naked video call with me?! Isn’t that a little much? You’re so pretty—I’d be embarrassed to look.”

“Who said I wanted to have a naked video call with you?! Good grief, I’m a perfectly proper girl. I’ll get up and wash up first.” As she spoke, a rustling sound came through the microphone.

Every now and then, Ruo Xiaoxi could hear Lan Yinuo’s parents in the background. Unlike Ruo Xiaoxi, who lived alone, Lan Yinuo’s family would sometimes keep an eye on her. Still, during summer break, they let her do pretty much whatever she wanted.

From what she’d said, her parents’ rule about chatting with online friends was—

No video calls with male online friends, but video calls with female friends were fine. In fact, they were all for girls around her age chatting more with other kids their age.

“I’m back.” A little while later, Lan Yinuo sat down in front of her computer, neatly dressed.

Earlier, Ruo Xiaoxi had been playing on a laptop in bed. Now the game had been moved to the desk. When Lan Yinuo turned on her camera, a fresh-faced girl appeared on Ruo Xiaoxi’s screen.

Yeah, Lan Yinuo embodied the word “fresh-faced” almost perfectly. Her sapphire-blue eyes always seemed to glisten with moisture, as if a pool of clear water lay hidden in them.

Her limbs were slender, and she looked rather delicate. Her voice was as clear and sweet as a nightingale’s.

With her fair skin and lovely face, the girl was every bit as beautiful as Ruo Xiaoxi, whose Vampiress nature gave her a natural advantage. No wonder Lan Yinuo’s parents doted on her so much.

“Huh? You’ve got a huge bow on your head today.” Ruo Xiaoxi looked at the enormous blue bow on top of Lan Yinuo’s head. She’d said she was just going to get ready, but she’d ended up looking like a little princess.

Lan Yinuo gave a shy, yet proud, little smile without saying a word. But she clearly wanted a compliment.

“Hey, Xiaoxi, what kind of pose is that? It’s so improper! Put your legs down! Your foot’s practically right up against the camera!” The moment Lan Yinuo switched to video chat, she was shocked.

“I’m stepping on you, stepping on you,” Ruo Xiaoxi said in a cute voice, deliberately lifting a foot to stomp on the camera a few times.

“You silly Xiaoxi. You promised yesterday, on Qixi, that I could come over and play games with you and do the festival event together. How could you stand me up? I’m still mad at you.”

“Aw, there’s nothing fun at my place anyway. It’s not big or pretty.”

“Wait… is Xiaoxi’s room a mess? I’ve never been to your place before.”

“I do keep my room tidy!”

“But there are still a pair of your dirty white stockings hanging over the back of that wooden chair behind you. You really love wearing white stockings, huh? They look great.”

“Do you like them?” Ruo Xiaoxi couldn’t resist teasing Xiao Nuonuo a little.

“I do…” Lan Yinuo suddenly regretted turning on her camera. As soon as the words left her mouth, her cheeks felt hot. She had to be blushing…

Ruo Xiaoxi loved seeing Nono so cute and bashful. It made teasing her irresistible!

Nono was also the really innocent type. Whenever people on YY started making dirty jokes, she’d stop talking and just listen while secretly blushing on the other side of the screen.

And she was so easy to win over. Ruo Xiaoxi loved teasing her.

“Then if you like them, marry me! You can look at my gorgeous legs in white stockings every day, as much as you want!”

“You’re only going to let me look? Then no, I won’t marry you. Nono won’t marry you unless Xiaoxi comes to my house and takes me as your bride.” Lan Yinuo joked along with her. Then her friend list lit up, and she logged into the game.

To make up for not being able to play together the day before, Ruo Xiaoxi abandoned her own quests and spent time chatting with Lan Yinuo and taking her to see the scenery. Nono liked sightseeing more than running dungeons.

Between PvP, PvE, and PvX, she was firmly in the pet-collecting PvX camp.

Nono had also made a chibi character and bought lots of pretty outfits. A snow-white fox pet was almost always by her side. She was the dress-up type of player.

The two of them happily played until noon. Nono’s parents called her to lunch, so she left her character AFK where it stood. Ruo Xiaoxi made their own character bounce around beside it.

They tried looking up her character’s skirt from every angle.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Before Ruo Xiaoxi could get a look, the phone in their pocket suddenly rang. They fumbled around and pulled it out.

“Who’s this? Which girl’s trying to throw herself at me now?” Ruo Xiaoxi said cockily. But the moment they saw the caller ID on the screen, their gaze froze.

Then, from the other end of the call, came an extremely familiar girl’s voice…

“Hey, big bro. Long time no see. Mom and Dad asked me to come visit you before school starts. I’m bringing you some stuff, too.”

“I’m in the car now, so you’ve got… about half an hour. You can use it to put away any lewd manga and weird tissues you’ve got lying around in your room.”

“Your pure and adorable little sister can’t handle seeing that kind of thing. If I find any, I’m confiscating it~”

Ruo Xiaoxi: “…” (Fell silent, too scared to make a sound.)

“Hmm? Big bro, why aren’t you saying anything? Hello? Is the signal bad?”

Beep, beep, beep… The call ended.

Ruo Xiaoxi sprang into action, slammed the door shut, and raced around on bare feet. They ran frantic circles on the spot, then stared blankly at the white-haired beauty in the mirror…

Oh no. What am I supposed to do now…?

Some girl, huh?

This time, it’s my actual little sister coming to inspect my room!!!
