Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Why did I even bring this person home in the first place?

Looking at the little hamster dressed in a hamster costume, who hadn't moved an inch since waking up, Xu You fell into deep thought.

Is that fresh, elegant young lady from yesterday, whose smile was so heartbreaking, really the same person as this useless guy in front of me?

Although they do look the same, but...

"?"

Xu You forcefully threw out a question mark, then said loudly.

"Who told you to touch my snacks?!"

With remarkable composure, Yuzu caught the question mark pillow that Yuzu threw to her and hugged it to her chest. Because she had to hold the pillow between her arms, she only used her forearms to move, making her arms appear particularly short, and handed the potato chips to Yuzu.

"Want some?"

"Ah, thanks."

Xu You took the snacks and subconsciously thanked them, but then suddenly came to her senses.

"Yeah, right! Why can you so casually use my computer, eat my snacks, and even ask me if I want some?"

"Oh wow! Nice comment!"

Tobi-chan exclaimed and applauded Yuzu's particularly witty remarks.

"Nice, what a load of rubbish! Do you know that your image in my mind has collapsed like a landslide?! Give me back the melancholy, ancient-style lady from yesterday! You bastard!"

Yuzu specially slapped Yuzu on the head with a chop and continued to complain.

I just have to vent this, you bastard!

"Haha, I've ordered the snacks, they should arrive soon."

After being forcefully slapped on the hand, Iris silently compared her own fighting strength with Yuzu's.

Yuzu is 1.61 meters tall, has a large chest, and looks to weigh over 100 pounds. Her figure suggests she works out regularly; although she doesn't have a V-line, her muscles are firm.

The kite is 1.52 meters tall, flat-chested, and weighs less than 45 kilograms. She stays at home all year round, stays up late, and is in a completely sub-healthy state. She is not as strong as a chicken and is truly powerless.

Then she promptly chickened out.

"Snacks aren't the point! How can someone change so drastically after just one night's sleep?! Are you schizophrenic?!"

Yuzu was still not very calm. After a series of rapid-fire complaints, she took a deep breath.

But Yuzuru simply picked up the question mark pillow, slowly placed it on her head, and gave her a question mark.

"Youzi, how old are you this year?"

The little kite asked, looking somewhat confused.

"You'll be eighteen in two months, is there a problem?"

Yuzu crossed her arms. She didn't like to talk about her age, especially in front of her elders, as she always felt that she was born half a head shorter.

'My mental age is way older than eighteen!'

Every time, I would silently refute this in my heart.

"I see."

Yuanchu smiled, lifted the hamster hood from her head, and let her long, smooth hair fall down.

"That's great, youth is so energetic."

Her voice carried a faint sigh, and although her face was young and looked about the same age as Xu You, it revealed a sense of vicissitudes that had been weathered by life.

"What do you mean?"

Xu You asked somewhat impolitely.

She hated older people talking to her like they knew everything, saying things she couldn't understand. It wasn't rebellion; she was just annoyed by Xu's father and Xu Lin's nagging.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say something."

Yuanchu stood up, barefoot on the floor, and walked step by step to Xu You. She tilted her head slightly, her smile widening.

"Love is just a part of life. Besides, this is just a breakup that hasn't even started yet. I'll feel sad, upset, and lose my composure in front of my seniors, but it's not enough for me to always look like I'm about to die to elicit sympathy."

After saying that, Yuanchu bent down to pick up the potato chips that Xu You had thrown on the ground, took out a chip and took a bite, making a crunching sound as she chewed. She couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Xu You's blank expression.

[What young kids they are! How wonderful! How wonderful!]

Psychology is not a panacea. Humans are the most complex animals. You can only draw the part that you understand. It's best to use profiling sparingly.

Xu You suddenly remembered what her older brother had told her a year ago. At the time, she had scoffed at it, thinking that it must be because her brother was incompetent. She had always guessed correctly!

Only now do I realize that it wasn't because she was more capable than Xu Lin.

High school students who are still in the ivory tower are mostly too naive. Their world is only so big, just like ours, so it's easy to make assumptions.

It wasn't that she misjudged Yuan Chu; rather, she only understood a part of her.

"So, there's no need to worry about me too much, I'm perfectly fine."

Yuanchu raised her hand and rubbed Xu You's little head, then continued speaking.

"By the way, can I use your computer to stream?"

"can."

Xu You stared blankly at Yuan Chu, who was shorter than her but had the air of an older sister.

The adult world is so complicated. Is this what you mean by maturity?

Part of the journey, but not the whole of it.

Is this your answer, miss?

The image of the person who changed me gradually surfaced in my mind—that cool, mature woman.

I still can't remember her face clearly, after all, we only spent a week together and didn't even take a picture.

[So when you said I was too small, you weren't referring to my chest, were you?]

Yuzu looked down at Iris's flat chest.

He suddenly burst out laughing.

P.S.: I feel like I'm digging this hole bigger and bigger www

P.S.: Tobi-Hina is a mature girl (legal loli) nearing graduation who has experienced many hardships; she won't turn evil!

PSS: By the way, I'd love to know what everyone thinks of this part of the story. I didn't find it particularly heartbreaking, but if you found it unbearable, feel free to tell me here!

Chapter 31, Section 147: I'm so sad I didn't buy the bag.

What are you laughing at?

Tobi-chan looked up and stared at Yuzu with suspicion.

She had only heard rumors before, but after getting to know her, she realized that her senior's younger sister wasn't as annoying as she had imagined. She was like a rebellious little brat pretending to be mature, with a pure heart beneath her scumbag exterior.

"nothing."

Yuzu cleared her throat, adjusted her expression, and put on the Xu family's ancestral poker face.

"It's definitely not a good thing."

But Yuan Chu's eyes were incredibly sharp, and besides, these were all moves that her predecessors had used to death, so how could she not understand them?

Senior...

Hi!

Thinking of the white-haired girl who looked so embarrassed yesterday, Iris still felt a little melancholy.

She wasn't as dramatic as the heroines in Qiong Yao dramas who would die for unrequited love, but she was still somewhat saddened. The joy she felt while teasing Yuan Chu earlier was genuine, but if she had to face Xu Lin now...

There's still a lingering resentment in my heart, isn't there?

[But that behavior was a bit much, scaring Xueyue so much. I should call her later.]

The kite thought to itself silently.

"Why not? What do you want for breakfast?"

Xu You waved her hand, took out her phone, opened Meituan, and scrolled up and down.

"I don't want to complain about this, but Yuzu, do you know that you look exactly like your senior right now?"

Yuanchu looked at her with half-closed eyes, her expression revealing neither deep sadness nor a hint of melancholy.

"Feel sorry..."

"Huh? Why are you the one apologizing? Isn't this the senior's fault?"

The kite chick smiled.

This pomelo is both similar to Xu Lin and unlike him. They only share some superficial similarities in their habits, but are completely different in essence.

She's a very interesting girl.

"Yes, it's all... my sister's fault!"

Yuzu waved her little fist, but swallowed back the word "brother" that was on the tip of her tongue.

"Oh! That's the spirit!"

Yuzu also waved her fists and shouted enthusiastically.

"But I'm still curious why you like her, miss. If it's painful, then there's no need to say it."

Yuzu subconsciously voiced the question that had been nagging at her all day, then quickly added something else, afraid of hurting Tobi-chan.

However, Yuzuki secretly stuffed a handful of potato chips into her mouth and said in a somewhat unclear way.

"Well, it's not a very big reason."
