I wonder what Xiao Nuonuo’s blood tastes like.

A cute, fresh-faced girl like her must have blood as refreshing as spring water! Ruo Xiaoxi had never tasted anything like it before, so she couldn’t help being curious.

As a Vampiress, she could tell what blood would taste like by instinct.

Chris had once told her that whenever she got hungry and needed blood, she should ask a cute girl for some. The cuter, the better—it was bound to taste delicious.

At first, Ruo Xiaoxi thought Chris was into girls. After all, the vampire girl had wanted to cuddle up with her the very first day she turned her into a girl. But later, Ruo Xiaoxi realized there was more to it than that.

It turned out girls’ blood really did taste that good—and its flavor varied with each girl’s personality, like picking out a drink at the supermarket!

Apparently, even blood had its own refined tastes.

Ruo Xiaoxi didn’t know what other vampires’ taste buds were like. She’d inherited Chris’s bloodline, though, so maybe every Vampiress from that line tasted things the same way.

And when she drank blood, if it tasted especially delicious, she might even find herself feeling… happy.

Thinking of it that way, Ruo Xiaoxi started taking this seriously. Other people went on dates; she was going to a feast.

A date. Right, this outing was a date! They’d planned the last one for Qixi Festival, and Xiao Nuonuo had been the one to suggest it. Maybe she’d wanted to get a little closer to Ruo Xiaoxi, too.

Canceling their date that day must have left Lan Yinuo feeling a little disappointed.

Ruo Xiaoxi, that incorrigible little flirt, had just sashayed off without a backward glance. She’d drifted through a whole crowd of girls without getting attached to any of them—and only remembered how nice older girls could be when she got hungry.

But it seemed no one had ever told her that if a Little Green Tea pushed an older girl too far, she might get what was coming to her.

That wasn’t something she needed to worry about now. Xiao Nuonuo was so timid! She was the kind of girl Ruo Xiaoxi could tease until her cheeks turned bright red. They’d been gaming together for ages, and Ruo Xiaoxi had never seen her get mad.

What would a timid, adorable girl even look like when she was angry…?

Curious about what Xiao Nuonuo looked like when she was angry, Ruo Xiaoxi danced in front of her computer screen. Dancing was a nice hobby for girls—it could help you stay in shape and build confidence.

Ruo Tianxin had ordered takeout. After all, you had to eat and build up your energy before heading out.

Hearing loud music coming from the room, she curiously opened the door and peeked inside. There she found an energetic little cutie dancing away on a yoga mat.

“Oh? Big brother, you’re dancing~” Ruo Tianxin teased.

“Ah, um… W-what’s wrong?” Ruo Xiaoxi’s movements stiffened at once, but she forced herself to keep dancing. What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty dance before?

“I’ll dance with you, hehe.”

Her little sister didn’t stand on ceremony. She saw that the song was the Bunny Hop, dashed into the room, and joined in. It was the exercise dance they’d learned in elementary school, so it was practically ingrained in their DNA.

The two sisters danced in perfect sync in front of the computer, hands on their hips as they kicked their legs and swayed to the rhythm. Whenever her sister gave her a knowing look, Ruo Xiaoxi’s face grew a little redder.

You’re just here to ruin everything, aren’t you!

“You’re not allowed to call me big brother anymore!” Ruo Xiaoxi finally blurted out.

“Huh? Why not?”

“Why do you think? Every time I’m trying to look cute, you show up and call me big brother just to laugh at me!” Ruo Xiaoxi puffed out her cheeks in a huff.

Her former big brother had turned into such a cute little thing. A day or two of teasing her wasn’t nearly enough—Ruo Tianxin wanted to tease her every day. All those different embarrassed expressions were just too much fun.

“Then should I call you big sister from now on?”

“Mm-hmm, exactly. You have to call me big sister respectfully.”

Ruo Xiaoxi nodded with her eyes closed and her hands on her hips. She was a proper young lady, after all—her little sister had confirmed it herself. She was the charming little white colt of Jiangnan, loved by everyone.

But to her surprise, Ruo Tianxin burst out laughing. She rested her elbows on the desk and cupped her face in her hands. Oh no, oh no! Watching her big brother gradually get carried away with being a girl was so exciting!

Ruo Tianxin was so excited that she squirmed in her seat.

“That’s right, that’s right! Being girls together is so much fun. We’re all soft and sweet now, and we can hug each other, too.” She edged closer with a mischievous look.

Ruo Xiaoxi turned her face away and mumbled a reply.

“Then… I guess I can say it now.” Before she knew it, Ruo Tianxin had placed both hands on Ruo Xiaoxi’s shoulders. She smiled with narrowed eyes.

“S-say what…?” Her sister’s soft breath brushed Ruo Xiaoxi’s ear, making it tickle.

“Big sis, you’re so easy to fluster~” Ruo Tianxin stood behind her, leaning over her shoulder to whisper in her ear. The teasing words made Ruo Xiaoxi’s delicate ears turn bright red.

Ruo Xiaoxi was so embarrassed that she ran straight to the living room and hugged a pillow to her chest. Trying to turn the tables, she declared, “You’re the one who’s easy to fluster! I’m the dominant one, and I’m really assertive. Don’t underestimate me!”

“Hehe, really?” Ruo Tianxin chased after her, slipped her slender arms around Ruo Xiaoxi’s waist from behind, and lifted her high into the air.

“Hahaha, you’re so light!”

“Tianxin! Don’t pick me up! Ahhh, I’m gonna get you!”

Ruo Xiaoxi’s face turned bright red. She bit her pale lip, rolled up her sleeves, and clenched her little fists, but Ruo Tianxin quickly caught her by the wrists and pinned her onto the sofa.

Tragic news: she couldn’t beat her at all. Only her two white-stockinged feet kicked merrily in the air.

“A big sister who can’t beat her little sister in a fight or even push her over is so useless~”

Ruo Tianxin poked her soft cheek with a finger.

Hehe. Now she knew her place in the family, right?

“Okay, okay, quit messing around. We need to get ready to go. If you want me to take you with me, let go.” The frail Ruo Xiaoxi gave in. She admitted she was kind of weak.

“Just hug me a little longer. It’s so comfy. Snuggle, snuggle~”

Ruo Tianxin cuddled against her sister, enjoying the soft, warm embrace and burying her face against her. For some reason, it was comforting.

That was probably the one thing Ruo Xiaoxi could still claim as the big sister.

“D-don’t snuggle so much! It’s so hot. I’m gonna kick you, okay?”

“Take this—surprise attack!”

“Ahh, don’t pinch my waist! I’m really ticklish there—then I won’t hold back either!”

The sisters clung to each other, trying to tickle one another.

Ruo Tianxin cheated, sneaking in a quick tickle on the sole of Ruo Xiaoxi’s foot. Ruo Xiaoxi’s toes curled up at once, and her face flushed red.

The two girls’ legs tangled across the sofa as they tried to pin each other down with their feet. Their sheer white tights and black-and-white striped knee socks swished back and forth.

“You wicked little sister, bullying your big sister! Take this foot!”

……And just then.

“Sister Ruo… and another big sister I don’t know…”

A childish voice suddenly rang out.

Ruo Xiaoxi and Ruo Tianxin froze at the same time. Their laughter cut off, and they were both left awkwardly stuck in place.

A little girl stood in the half-open doorway, holding a bowl of green jujubes. She stared blankly at the sisters fooling around, then drew a small breath. Her fair cheeks slowly turned pink.

“What… are you doing?”
