Trial.
For Bai Ningning, talking and chatting with people is a kind of trial, a way to exercise her communication skills and adjust the discrepancies between her words and feelings.
For Qin Yue, speaking with Bai Ningning is also a trial, a way to strengthen her ability to handle pressure and control her emotions.
"I just didn't expect you to sleep all day. I got up before noon," Bai Ningning said lightly. "Thinking about it, it's not that much; you just woke up four hours later than me, right?"
'Four hours isn't much, after all, one is a cow and the other is the ground.'
She thought this in her heart, but what she said made Qin Yue furious.
Wow, today's trial started off with such high difficulty.
"Easy for you to say," Qin Yue snorted coldly. "You just have to lie there without moving; all the effort is on me, so of course, you won't be tired."
'Oh right, so for my sister's health, let me exert myself occasionally, I can handle it.'
Bai Ningning thought this and then said aloud:
"If you don't like it, you can switch places with me. Are you brave enough?"
Qin Yue squeezed her hands but didn't respond.
She really didn't dare... It's not that she was afraid, but as the older sister and the dominant one, how could she let someone else take her place?
Remembering the massage incident from a few days ago, Qin Yue felt a chill in her heart.
That annoying little green tea, she was indeed still thinking about revenge.
Qin Yue calmed herself down and said slowly, "Now that my sister is here, she will be living at home in the future. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for always being so lazy?"
"I think it doesn't matter whether you find it funny or not; it's who can't get up that is more likely to be laughed at," Bai Ningning gently tucked her hair behind her ear. "Anyway, it's not me who can't get up; I can't say who it is."
Qin Yue was about to lose her composure.
Why can Bai Ningning make such tempting gestures while saying such irritating things?
"I advise you not to be so arrogant," Qin Yue said in a low voice. "If I really don't care, I might not be able to get up, but you probably won't be able to either."
'Huh? What? Mutual destruction? That's not good; I should really talk her out of it.'
Bai Ningning raised her delicate hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly: "Hehe, is this what you think every time before you start?"
Qin Yue's temples throbbed.
"That's fine; you can think about it slowly," the girl smiled sweetly, "Everyone needs a dream."
Qin Yue got up from the bed and stood on the floor, her expression darkening.
She had been feeling lethargic and didn't want to move. But at that moment, it seemed like all her ailments had vanished, and she was filled with energy.
"Ningning, you're an adult now," she looked down at the girl, "Adults shouldn't regret what they say."
"Wait!"
After saying this, Qin Yue directly stormed out, heading upstairs.
Aunt Zou was on the balcony hanging clothes and was startled by the sight of the young lady's fierce demeanor: "Young lady, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but she has a problem!"
Aunt Zou understood who she was referring to and became even more worried: "Young lady, you just... you should rest more today and not get angry."
And definitely shouldn't exert herself.
"I've rested enough."
"Where have you rested enough? Young lady, you worked so hard yesterday; your body will be overwhelmed today."
"Not at all," Qin Yue said calmly, "I feel great, and there's nothing wrong with me; in fact, I feel very strong."
You're already at the point of a final burst of energy before collapse, yet you still think you feel great?
Aunt Zou knew that once the young lady made up her mind, it was impossible to persuade her. After thinking for a long time, she sighed softly: "Young lady, at least let me prepare something for you; drink it before you go back."
There were still ingredients in the kitchen—like angelica root and softshell turtle.
"Fine, whatever."
Qin Yue naturally wouldn't refuse anything that could enhance her combat power.
Aunt Zou went to make soup, while Qin Yue went to the balcony to search through the pile of cosplay clothes.
Witch costume, idol outfit, spider suit... What is this? Why are there so many outfits from recent shows?
Forget it, I won't look for anime ones; I'll find something from mobile games. Hmm, let's go directly to the most suitable game.
[Glorious·The Radiant Ball], [Fearsome·The Young Lady's Makeup], [Glorious·Cool Night Fragrance]... This one is good, quite nice.
It looks good, but more importantly, it's convenient.
Qin Yue collected the clothes and looked down from the balcony at the first floor, sneering.
Tonight, no playing LOL, no playing Dota, no playing DNF, and no playing various gal games.
Tonight, it's World of Warships!
An hour later, after drinking the nourishing soup prepared by the maid, Qin Yue returned to her bedroom and tossed the [Cool Night Fragrance] onto the bed.
"Put it on!"
Bai Ningning tilted her little head, blinking in confusion.
What's going on? Why is she angry again? Didn't they just have a good chat?
"What are you waiting for? Put it on!"
"…Oh."
Alright, fine, I'll put it on. If I behave obediently, maybe she'll calm down.
Ugh, this outfit is really too revealing.
Wearing the "Cool Night Fragrant Snow" outfit obediently and sitting on the bed, Bai Ningning tilted her head as if to say, "How about it? I'm very obedient, right? Shouldn't you praise me a bit?"
Then she saw her older sister charging straight at her.
The sea battle had begun.
...
"That night, the sky was full of stars, a promise made in parallel time and space. When we meet again, I will hold you tightly, hold you tightly~~~~"
The song ended, and she had finished previewing all the classes for next week.
Qin Xin took off her headphones and rubbed her little ears. When she was in the state of listening to music and studying with the microphone off, her efficiency was incredibly high, much more useful than listening to lectures in class.
If this continued, in a few weeks, she could directly take the final exam for this semester.
It was just that those youth heartbreak songs made her feel a bit uncomfortable; she decided to change the playlist next time.
Qin Xin left the room to take a shower, but on the way, she inexplicably stopped in front of her sister's bedroom to listen for a while.
The battle was intense, even more so than what she had heard before, with various battle results coming through from time to time.
Something about igniting, something about hitting the armor zone, something about excessive penetration, something about the cabin leaking, something about full missile launch.
No wonder it's called World of Warships; the battles are brutal.
Qin Xin stood at the door, feeling increasingly numb.
Forget it, she should just go take a shower. If she buried her head in the water, she could pretend she didn't know anything.
The long night stretched on. Some were fighting, while others were tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep; this night was hard for everyone.
But the night would eventually pass, and the next day would come; time is such a merciless thing.
That morning, Qin's mom packed her things and made a call for the maid to come pick her up.
She couldn't wait to see her two daughters getting along harmoniously.
