“I think that before you’ve properly come to know someone, you shouldn’t expect their body and soul to fully belong to him,” Liang Sheng said solemnly.
Zhen Zhu says she doesn’t understand. “Anyway, I just like Brother Su Ze! Because he’s the only one who won’t leave me just because of what I say!”
Liang Sheng sighs, realizing it’s hopeless to reason with her. She casually adds, “What about me? I’m just like Brother Su Ze! Neither of us has left you. Look, you scared me so much just now, but I was still so gentle to you. Why don’t you like me??”
This sentence was just something Liang Sheng said casually.
As a result, Zhen Zhu was truly stunned. Right, this girl right in front of her, Liang Sheng, she was also such a person, and hadn’t distanced herself from her.
Zhen Zhu also knew that her personality was particularly awful, but she couldn’t change it—she always ended up blurting out a hurtful remark without thinking.
“Hmm… Brother Su Ze said I’m pretty cute like this.” Zhen Zhu suddenly said this. “He said they’re all glass-hearted and told me not to change. Is that true, Old Hag?”
Zhen Zhu, this kid is very smart and suddenly felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Yeah, if her Brother Su Ze is really doing it for her own good, why hasn’t he persuaded her to change her personality and temper yet?
“Whoosh~” Favorability decreases.
Zhen Zhu’s Favorability Toward Su Ze: 70
“Zhen Zhu, what I’m about to say might be a bit hurtful.” Liang Sheng said slowly, “Your personality… for people who don’t know you well, it’s really quite unlikable. So, your Brother Su Ze saying that… it’s only harmful to you, with no benefits. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I want to tell you that you’d better not listen to his words.”
Zhen Zhu nodded.
“Whoosh~” Favorability decreases.
Zhen Zhu’s Favorability Toward Su Ze: 65
Liang Sheng really hadn’t expected that Zhen Zhu, this little kid, was such a perceptive and clever person. It was probably her previous foolish antics that had caused such a big misunderstanding about her.
“Come on, sister’s feeling happy today—I’ll treat you to something you’ve absolutely never eaten before.” Liang Sheng rubbed Zhen Zhu’s little face, cooing, “So cute~”
“What?!” The moment she heard about food, Zhen Zhu’s eyes went wide, her face turning into that of a total “food warrior.”
Liang Sheng looked all mysterious as she hailed a taxi and directed the driver to the entrance of the most ordinary big supermarket.
“Right here…?” Zhen Zhu was visibly disappointed. “I thought you were taking me to some fancy restaurant! And it’s just this?!”
“Don’t jump to complaints yet,” Liang Sheng laughed, brushing off her words. “A little princess like you definitely hasn’t had this before.”
“Tch~” Zhen Zhu scoffed dismissively.
“Oh ho~” Liang Sheng scooped Zhen Zhu up in her arms again. “Tell me, those snacks I gave you at home—you’d never had those before either, right?”
“Hmph…” Zhen Zhu didn’t want to admit it, but the evidence was undeniable. “Fine, that’s true… You’re not gonna drag me off to buy snacks again, are you?”
“No no no.” Liang Sheng started bouncing Zhen Zhu playfully.
Zhen Zhu tried to push Liang Sheng away to show her displeasure, but her little hand accidentally brushed against… um, something particularly soft.
“Ah!” Zhen Zhu jerked back like she’d been shocked, her hands flying away instantly.
“Haha!” Liang Sheng, who really ought to have been the embarrassed one, was laughing her head off instead. “What was that? This time it’s the little loli taking advantage of big sister~ So, what do you think your sentence should be—how many years?”
Zhen Zhu’s face exploded into a deep blush. “Who?! It wasn’t on purpose, okay?! Don’t get all full of yourself!”
“UwU~” Liang Sheng channeled her inner drama queen. “Since you touched me, you have to take responsibility for me, okay~ Owie…” She heard her own cringey pinched voice and felt disgusted with herself.
“We’re both girls! How can you take responsibility like that!” The naive Zhen Zhu protested, insisting that two girls couldn’t get married.
“Ahn?!” Liang Sheng set Zhen Zhu down and led her to a bench nearby. “Come sit down. Big sis will show you something fun, then take you to eat some yummy food.”
Zhen Zhu obediently sat down.
Liang Sheng pulled out her phone, opened a manga app, and tapped into her favorites folder, which was packed full of yuri manga. The covers all featured two beautiful women, some with three, and even more had a whole pile.
“Who says girls can’t date each other?” Liang Sheng huffed in disagreement, believing that a child’s yuri spirit should be nurtured from a young age.
She opened her absolute favorite manga and handed it to Zhen Zhu.
“It’s just manga~ I read that stuff all the time too.” Zhen Zhu took the phone.
She really did read manga often, but it was always heterosexual romances, or even ones where the girl had a harem of guys chasing her.
This time, though, the moment she opened it and saw the cover, she was stunned.
“Alrighty, lend me your phone to play with for a bit. You go ahead and read the manga on mine first.” Liang Sheng reached into Zhen Zhu’s arms and took her phone.
At that moment, Zhen Zhu was already completely engrossed.
About five minutes later, she asked, “This… this manga is already on chapter three. How come the male lead still hasn’t shown up? It’s just these two besties.”
Liang Sheng grinned with an auntie smile. “How do you know for sure they’re just besties? Couldn’t they have some other kind of relationship?”
“What other kind of relationship can girls even have?” Zhen Zhu blurted out without a second thought.
“Then just keep reading and find out.”
Another twenty minutes passed.
Liang Sheng was scrolling through videos, completely forgetting there was a little loli next to her reading yuri manga.
By now, the little loli Zhen Zhu had already witnessed the two girls kissing—she was utterly shocked. Now, she was seeing even more “refined yet accessible” scenes, and her jaw was practically on the floor.
No way! Two girls… can do that?!
Zhen Zhu zoomed in on the uke’s expression.
Ahem, don’t look at anything improper, don’t look! This old hag! How could she show stuff like this to a little kid?! Zhen Zhu fumed inwardly.
She turned her head, ready to scold Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng was doubled over laughing at some cheesy video, barely able to catch her breath, her full bosom heaving up and down.
“Old ha…” Zhen Zhu’s words caught in her throat.
Eh? Ehhh! Why is her face getting so hot?! Zhen Zhu covered her little face with her hands.
She vaguely remembered accidentally brushing against this old hag’s… padding not long ago. Zhen Zhu grumbled to herself—it actually felt pretty nice. Wait! Why was she even thinking about that!? It had to be that manga this old hag showed her—there was something wrong with it! Startled, Zhen Zhu quickly set the phone down.
Gulp. Zhen Zhu swallowed hard. Still… she’d look a little longer. She really wanted to know what happened next in the story…
She kept reading, feeling more and more hooked with every page. She looked up again at Liang Sheng’s face.
Looking at her like this… this old hag was actually pretty attractive. Zhen Zhu propped up her head with her arm.
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Zhen Zhu’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 80”
Hm? Why did the favorability suddenly go up? Liang Sheng glanced away from her phone and looked over at Zhen Zhu beside her.
