Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

He thought for a moment, then added another sentence.

[Ding Heng]: No matter what, try to talk to your family more.

【Good Luck Xiao Jing】: [Little rabbit nodding obediently.jpg]

……

Wenjing put down her phone, a smile still lingering on her lips.

"Second sister."

A voice drifted over from the side.

Wen Shu lay on the edge of the bed, her chin resting on her folded arms, staring curiously at her older sister.

Are you in a relationship?

Wenjing's smile froze. She instinctively retorted, but her voice was weak.

"Don't talk nonsense..."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Second sister, your thoughts are written all over your face."

"No way..."

"Why not?"

Wen Shu counted on her fingers: "While we were eating, you were staring at your phone and grinning like an idiot. After you came out of the shower, you were still holding your phone and laughing. Now you're lying in bed and you're still laughing—what else could this be but being in love?"

Wenjing felt her face flush from what she said, and wanted to retort but couldn't find the words.

"Also, second sister, did you secretly take a selfie in the bathroom after you finished showering?"

Wenjing's face flushed bright red.

"You—why were you spying on me?!"

"It's your fault for not closing the door properly."

Wen Shu said matter-of-factly, "I just happened to pass by and glanced at it—wow, the scale was huge! Second sister, when did you become so bold!"

"Wen Shu!!!"

Wenjing was so embarrassed that she reached out to cover her mouth.

Wen Shu laughed and dodged away, then climbed onto Wen Jing's bed and squeezed into the covers.

"What, second sister, is there something you can't tell me?"

Wenjing's movements stopped.

Wen Shu is two years younger than her, and is sixteen this year.

But sometimes, Wenjing felt that her younger sister was much more mature than her.

They had lived in the same room since childhood, and their relationship was much closer than that with their older sister Wenwan and younger brother Wentao.

Wenjing leaned back against the headboard, sighing softly.

"I don't really know if I'm in a relationship right now."

"Still in the ambiguous stage?"

"Hmm...I guess so."

"What does that guy look like? Is he the one who berated the older sister last time?"

"how do you know?"

“During that period, my older sister would berate him every day in the house, saying things like ‘crazy,’ ‘meddlesome,’ ‘why are you cursing me,’ and ‘what right do you have to curse me…’”

Wen Shu imitated Wen Wan's tone perfectly: "My older sister scolded me for about half a month, and then one day she suddenly stopped scolding me, and instead packed her bags, saying she was going to Pengcheng to find a job."

Wenjing asked worriedly, "Is my older sister alright?"

"pretty good."

Wen Shuping lay on the floor staring at the ceiling, her tone flat: "She should have left long ago. She's been a lazy bum at home, penniless and mistreated. I've already decided that if my older sister can settle down in Pengcheng, I'll go find her after I graduate from high school."

Wenjing frowned: "Xiaoshu, aren't you going to university?"

Wen Shu smiled.

The girl's smile was faint, without sarcasm or bitterness; she was simply stating the facts in a very ordinary way.

"Sis, do you think I'm smart enough to get into any university? Besides, Wentao's expenses will only increase after I graduate high school. Will Mom and Dad have the money to send me to a junior college?"

The sound of rain outside the window came through the glass, muffled and muffled.

Wenjing said earnestly, "Xiaoshu, as long as you study hard and get into university, even if Mom and Dad don't support you, your second sister will find a way!"

Wen Shu turned to look at Wen Jing.

Her eyes look very similar to Wenjing's; both are round, double-lidded, with very dark pupils.

But there was neither quiet timidity nor the innocence that one should have at that age.

"Sister, what can you do?"

Wenjing didn't say anything.

Wen Shu continued counting on her fingers: "I graduated from high school, and you're only a junior or senior in college, right? How much money can you possibly earn? What, are you planning to have your boyfriend pay for my studies?"

Wenjing's face flushed again: "He's not..."

"Okay, okay, no, that's not it."

Wen Shu interrupted her with a smile, then turned over and lay back down.

"sister……"

The girl's voice softened: "It's true we're sisters, but even close sisters need to keep clear accounts! I don't want you to become some kind of 'brother-supporting demon' or 'sister-supporting demon,' which would only cause trouble in your life."

But don't worry, sis, I'm not someone who's overly concerned with saving face. If I really encounter any difficulties, I'll definitely ask you for help!

"Xiao Shu..."

Wenjing was completely speechless. She reached out and gently touched her sister's cheek.

"Boom—!"

Another thunderclap.

The rain outside the window intensified, the raindrops pounding against the glass with a dense, drum-like sound.

Wen Shu shrank closer to Wen Jing.

"Sister, do you know?"

"Ok?"

"When I was a child, I always had a wish."

"What is your wish?"

"I wanted my own room, just a small one, with my own bed and my own desk. I could go to bed whenever I wanted at night, and no one would wake me up in the morning. I could put my clothes wherever I wanted, without having to squeeze into the closet with other people. Later, I grew up, and although I knew it was impossible at home, the thought always stayed in my heart."

Wen Shu paused.

“But when you went to work in Xingcheng a while ago, I didn’t feel at ease sleeping in this room alone. I always felt like something was missing, especially when I turned over at night and there was no one next to me, I felt empty inside…”

Wenjing didn't say anything, but pulled the blanket up to cover her sister's shoulders.

"Xiao Shu".

"Ok?"

What are your plans for the new semester?

"I plan to live on campus. Our high school starts earlier than yours, so I have to leave tomorrow."

Wen Shu closed her eyes and spoke indistinctly.

"Sister, listen to my advice, you should leave as soon as possible. Staying in this house for even one more day is torture."

The rain outside the window was very loud.

Wenjing seemed not to hear, and finally let out a long breath, pulling her younger sister into her arms.

"Go to sleep."

"Okay! Goodnight, second sister."

Goodnight, Xiaoshu.

It's still raining.

Splash splash splash...

Chapter 52: Purification Value 100%!

The next morning.

It's still raining.

When Wenjing woke up, she found the seat next to her empty.

Wenshu's bed was spotless, the sheets were neatly folded, and the pillows were in their places, as if no one had ever lived there.

Wenjing sat up and remained stunned for a long while.

They've left...

She yawned, got out of bed, and shuffled out in her slippers.

Out of habit, I picked up my phone, ready to send Ding Heng a good morning message and a selfie.

She paused for a moment as she passed the desk.

She shared that desk with Wen Shu, which was usually piled high with Wen Shu's textbooks, exercise books, and all sorts of odds and ends.

Now that Wenshu has put everything away, the desktop is much tidier with a large empty space.

Wenjing's gaze swept across the table.

I always feel something is missing.
