I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Seeing that Bai Zhou remained unmoved, Nian reluctantly withdrew her tail, but she had not given up yet.

Silly little white rabbit, if your tail can't get you into a ruckus, then we'll have to resort to other methods.

"Ok?"

Two tiny, soft things had appeared on its feet. Bai Zhou gently swayed its tail, preparing to use it to explore the creatures' appearance.

Soon, when his tail was caught between the two little creatures, Bai Zhou realized what they were.

"Sister, tea."

Resisting the urge to entangle them with their tails, the daytime offers the first cup of black tea to the year.

"Hey, thanks for your hard work, Xiaobai."

As she accepted the red tea, her natural smile and conversation made it impossible to tell that she had just been making those subtle gestures.

"Drinking tea warms the body."

Bai Zhou poured himself a cup of tea, then gently lifted his leg, curled his tail, and pinned down a restless little foot.

"But it's damp and chilly in this rainy weather, and it's easy to catch a cold if you don't wear shoes and socks. Right, sister?"

"Ah... um, yes, that's right."

Nian tried to pull his right leg back, but he couldn't bring his foot back.

"No, don't press so hard."

"Silly little white rabbit, I was wrong, please let go of my legs. No, don't press so hard."

Lifting one leg up and resting the other on the shoe—this posture is so strange, it feels a bit like being stretched.

"Didn't you have a lot of fun just now, sister?"

But things didn't go as she wished during the day. Her tail wrapped around the toe, and then the tip of her tail gently swept across it, revealing what Nian looked like as he lay on the table, trembling and covering his face.

"Okay, okay, good little brother, stop it... hhhh... this is... terrible..."

The ticklish spots on her feet were located on the soles of her feet, and being teased by the daytime made her laugh nonstop.

“That won’t do. If there is only forgiveness without punishment, then authority is just a piece of paper.”

During the day, he leisurely sipped his tea, while his tail continued to whine and amuse him.

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

The laughter of that year has changed; now, he's just giving a weak, stiff laugh.

Her movements spilled the black tea in the cup, and the tea soaked her sleeves.

"You can't go without shoes and socks next time, sister."

During the day, he only gave her a minor punishment. Seeing Nian's state, he figured she had learned her lesson and forgave her.

"Gu..."

But Nian did not retract her leg, leaving it draped over Bai Ri's leg.

Well, it's not that she didn't want to, but she had laughed too hard just now and hadn't recovered yet.

"Silly little white rabbit, it's all wet! It's all your fault!"

Having regained his senses, Nian looked at his wet sleeves and sullenly blamed Bai Zhou.

"It was clearly my sister who was naughty and knocked over the cup, how can you blame me?"

Even so, Bai Zhou had already moved the chair in front of her.

"It's just tea; it'll dry up in a little while."

He poured the tea that had seeped into his sleeves out the window and looked towards the New Year during the day.

"But it's best if you take it off and let it air dry before it's completely dry."

"Hmph! Silly little white rabbit, I know exactly what you're thinking."

Nian tilted his head back and puffed out his chest with a hint of pride.

"Don't overthink it, sister."

Bai Zhou chuckled and uttered a single sentence, shattering Nian's smile.

"I prefer... a bigger one."

"...Hmph! You brat! You have eyes but can't recognize a gem!"

As expected, upon hearing Bai Zhou's words, he immediately flew into a rage, crossed his arms, and turned to look out the window.

What do you mean you like big things! Isn't this size just right, small enough to fit in one hand?

What's the use of something so big? What's the use of something that can't be held in one hand?

Seeing the year pass like this, Bai Zhou merely chuckled lightly.

He then moved the chairs again, bringing the two of them closer together.

"Sister, sister."

"I can't hear you! I can't hear anything!"

She had made up her mind that no matter what her despicable brother said, she would never forgive him again.

The grudge against her for having a flat chest should not be lightly forgiven.

"Sister, I haven't finished speaking yet."

He hugged her during the day, grabbing her hand without caring that her sleeves were still wet.

"Sister."

He slipped his fingers between her fingers and held the back of her hand.

There are hundreds of kinds of flowers, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

"While big is good, someone like my sister has a different kind of charm."

"Hmph, do you think I'll let you off the hook if you say nice things?"

"Of course not."

Their clasped hands gradually came together.

"I just wanted to say..."

By maliciously only saying half the story, he successfully got Nian's ears perked up, just as he had expected.

Say what you want to say!

Nian wanted to urge him, but she was mindful of the vow she had just made, so she could only wait for him to speak.

Seeing that it was working, he stopped teasing her during the day.

He gently kissed her neck and held her hand tightly during the day.

"I really like my older sister. She can hold so much in one hand, she's truly an absolute treasure."

Go back to the 38th and change into new clothes

After a storm, the weather cleared up in the evening.

"Finally, the sun is shining! Little White, let's go outside."

The year, which had been drowsy due to rain and boredom, was once again filled with joy.

"Hmm. Sure. But are you planning to wear my clothes out, sister?"

"Although I don't mind, this kind of older sister..."

The young woman's clothes were much larger than the immortal's own, and now she could reveal large areas of skin with just a slight turn of her body.

"It's all because of you."

As she moved her body, she almost pressed herself against him as she spoke.

Yes, that's right.

The young man wrapped his arms around the fairy's slender waist and smiled at her.

"So... it's best if only I can see this kind of older sister."

"You actually want to make your sister your own? What a greedy little brother."

Her fingertips traced his lower lip, and she parted her lips slightly to gently touch it.

"My older sister is greedy too."

I won't let him go until he's had his fill of fun.

"Yes, that's right. I'm a very greedy person. I get very angry when I don't get what I want."

As if trying to vent all the pent-up frustration accumulated during the rain, the year relentlessly demanded what it wanted from the daytime.

"Sister, aren't we going out?"

"No rush, it's only late afternoon. And it will be resolved quickly."

Nian's blunt words made Bai Zhou's face darken.

What do you mean by "it can be resolved quickly"...?

Watching the "^3^" New Year's Eve celebration with great interest, Bai Zhou felt she needed to correct her perception of time in this kind of thing.

He considered himself to have been shoved for nearly fifteen minutes before raising the white flag and surrendering, which he considered quite fierce.

But to the immortals who measured time in 60 years, this confidence seemed to be no different from a second.

"what happened?"

Looking at Bai Zhou, who was deep in thought, Nian ate all the porridge with satisfaction and then asked him a question.

"……nothing."

Bai Zhou sighed.

He had just thought it over carefully. Even if Nian looked at him with new respect, it wouldn't do him any good. Besides, wasn't his original goal to find his future wife and marry her?
