Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"Could it be that, Miss, you really have the idea of ​​marrying into our family?"

"What are you saying!"

He gave her a light tap on the head, and Xu Youyue puffed out her cheeks and huffed angrily.

"I only came up with this because I had run out of topics!"

"Ouch...that hurts..."

Yuzu rubbed the spot where the young lady had just hit her, and muttered a little aggrievedly.

Why does everyone like to tap me on the head?

"It's probably because it feels really good."

Turning her head to the side, Xu Youyue felt a little guilty.

It's not because I saw Xu Lin constantly tapping Youzi's head that I suddenly wanted to try it!

"That's outrageous! My head didn't exist just to be hit by you guys, did it!?"

She shouted in dissatisfaction, waving her hands haphazardly in protest.

"Hmm... I should say it's one of its values?"

"Hey!!! Miss!"

Looking at Xu Youyue, who was gazing at the sky and shrugging her shoulders just like her older brother, Youzi sighed helplessly.

"Sorry, sorry w"

With her hands clasped together, the young lady couldn't help but smile slightly as she apologized.

"Honestly, don't copy everything my older sister does. Miss is such a cute girl, don't turn into her, okay?"

"Oh? What do I look like, Yuzu?"

A voice that sounded like a demon's whisper suddenly appeared in her ear, and Yuzu immediately shivered and instinctively covered her head.

"My older sister is pure, lovely, gentle, generous, and knows how to undress people! My older sister is the best in the world!"

"Pomelo..."

Putting away her phone, which was playing Xu Lin's recording, Xu Youyue squinted and complained.

"How come you sisters even have the exact same way when you accidentally slip up in your speech?"

"Holy crap! So you had a cunning side, Miss?"

Yuzu looked at Xu Youyue with a shocked expression, as if she had been deceived, while Xu Youyue remained calm and pretended nothing had happened.

"Um..."

The crisp sound of her fingernails striking the table, combined with the young lady's energetic and adorable murmur, gave Yuzu the illusion that 'she really knows.'

However, the next second, the girl in front of him suddenly revealed a devilish smile, with a small tiger tooth shining brightly.

"What bad intentions could a girl possibly have? I just find it funny, you know~?"

Regarding whether the young lady is cunning or not, a certain boss, whose name is still unknown, said he had something to say.

He was tricked by his older cousin since he was a child, and that's not just a joke.

"Cough cough...!"

Yuzu coughed twice, suppressing the flutter in her heart as she was being flirted with, silently repeating three times, "This is my sister-in-law, this is my sister-in-law, this is my sister-in-law!"

His gaze darted around, trying to change the subject.

"Miss, didn't you just ask me what I thought of you? Actually, that's a rather complicated question. Do you want me to speak from the perspective of 'my sister's best friend' or 'a senior colleague at the company'?"

After saying that, as if she had just remembered something, Yuzu abruptly added another sentence.

"Oh, by the way, I've decided to join ESC and I'll be making my debut next week."

[You mentioned the most important thing in passing!]

[Yay! I'll be able to see my little sister more often from now on!]

Welcome to your debut!

"www, then tell me everything. I also want to hear Yuzu-chan's pure opinion of me as a person, without any regard for her identity."

Amused by Youzi's reaction, Xu Youyue chuckled twice and then asked a follow-up question.

"So, let's start with my sister's best friend... let's get a little kiss!"

[Stickers!]

"Is that all there is to it?"

Unconsciously, she touched her slightly burning earlobe, trying to keep her tone calm.

"Hmm... As for other things, I'd say I'm pretty glad my older sister met you, right? Don't let her appearance fool you, she actually has almost no close friends."

Yuzu noticed the young lady's subtle movements, and being adept at analyzing other people's psychological states, she understood the meaning behind the actions almost instantly.

Shyness, anticipation, and a touch of sweetness.

(My sister-in-law really likes my brother.)

She thought to herself with these thoughts.

"That seems to be the case?"

"It's really true, Miss. You were the first friend my older sister introduced to me. Back in high school, my older sister was always surrounded by a large group of people, but none of them were friends that I could introduce to my family."

When Yuzu speaks, she emphasizes the word "friend" very much, making it almost instantly clear to people that there is a difference between different friends.

"Ugh... that feels so lonely."

The young lady sighed softly. Xu Lin almost never mentioned the past in front of her, except for things related to Xu You. It seemed that she could only learn about these past events that she had never been a part of, through her sister.

"Well, it's not so bad, really. After all, true friends are something you can't always find!"

Yuzu waved her hand and laughed nonchalantly.

Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly empathize. The Xu sisters are remarkably similar yet extremely different in some ways.

Lin-chan has no close friends but has found true love.

Yuzu is confused about friendships because all her exes are her exes.

Before she could even feel happy after making friends, the way that person looked at her would become subtle, eventually making him just another unremarkable ex among her many.

He became a passerby in her life, only staying briefly.

For Xu You, this must also be a kind of sadness, right?

Only those who have personally experienced it can truly empathize and have the right to speak for that person, telling them not to worry and that it's not a big deal.

"It's not just close friends who are hard to come by, you know?"

He smiled and patted the pomelo's head.

Xu Youyue suddenly realized that she was gradually able to understand this girl.

The sorrow deliberately concealed in her every word and action was no less than that of the kite who suddenly appeared before, tears streaming down her face, wishing herself happiness.

Feeling lost?

If I weren't confused, I wouldn't have asked Yuzu this question.

So how did the pomelo become what it is today? Who is it related to, and what is its story?

Well, who knows?

That was the story that only the person destined for her should explore.

P.S.: My previous writing was too messy, so I'm just adjusting the style a bit.

Chapter 52, Section 242: The Secret Xu Lin Didn't Know

"Whoo~"

Inside the room, Yuzu and the young lady chatted happily, while on the other side, a white-haired girl hid on the balcony alone, quietly enjoying the breeze.

Fine, delicate white hair danced in the wind under the setting sun, and the girl, exquisite as if she had stepped out of a painting, had a deep sorrow between her brows.

Too much had happened in such a short time that she couldn't quite process it all.

Xu Lin is someone who dislikes change. She believes that the best way to live is to proceed slowly yet quickly in an environment you are already accustomed to, in a lifestyle you are already familiar with.

She is also an insecure person. She always likes to plan everything in her mind to make herself at least appear calm and composed, but she always panics far more than usual when her plans are disrupted by unexpected events.

This was the first time she had ever escaped during a live stream.

Both she and the young lady are actually people who lack a sense of security.

Perhaps her childhood experiences taught her independence, but they also put too much pressure on her, which led to her developing the personality she has now.

She always prefers to shoulder everything alone without saying a word. Even when she breaks down, she just secretly stays home for a while and acts like a useless person to heal herself.

So when you suddenly realize that what you've been afraid of telling your parents, what you've been terrified of but dared not tell them, they probably already knew all along.

In fact, while she felt relieved, she was also filled with panic.

Because everything is unknown.

Will her parents accept her after the transformation?

Would you allow your child to be unconventional or rebellious?

Will his attitude towards her change?

Although the above problems are actually unnecessary worries, and given Xu's parents' personalities, they wouldn't care too much, even the slightest possibility is enough to make Xu Lin panic and lose his composure in front of others.

Just like when he first met Yuzu after transforming, he knew perfectly well that his silly little sister would definitely recognize him, but he couldn't help but panic, to the point that his palms were sweating and his eyes were wet.

Fear and anxiety are not things that can simply disappear by recognizing the facts.

"Cheer up, cheer up."
