Her favorite older sister was standing by the bed, looking at her with concern.
It was just a dream after all.
Seeing her sister's gentle and concerned gaze, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. After regaining her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
My favorite older sister, the one who always upheld chivalrous virtues, how could she secretly steal my man behind my back? Barbara, Barbara, it's one thing to dream, but how could you imagine my sister as such a awful, despicable person in your dreams? That's just too much!
Barbara was filled with shame and rushed into Qin's arms, whispering an apology: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all Barbara's fault, I'm so sorry."
Qin was taken aback, not quite understanding Barbara's strange reaction. However, hearing the faint sob in Barbara's voice, she sighed softly, hugged Barbara tightly, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her softly, "It's alright, it's okay, it was just a nightmare. I'll always be by Barbara's side to protect her. So, no matter what happens, don't be afraid, and don't apologize, because no matter what Barbara does, I will forgive and accept it. I love Barbara the most."
"elder sister."
Nestled in her favorite older sister's arms, gently comforted by her sister, Barbara's breathing finally calmed down.
Seeing this, Qin released Barbara and smiled gently.
"Alright, stop crying. Wipe away your tears and use your Mondstadt idol's eye to give your sister some advice. Do you think these black stockings look better on me, or these silver-gray stockings?"
"Eh?"
Hearing these familiar lines, Barbara looked up in surprise and found her favorite sister standing by the bed with two stockings in her hand, her expression conflicted.
Barbara was stunned.
Chapter 137 Barbara's Clever Ways to Catch Her in the Act
"Barbara, do you think my sister looks better in these black stockings or these silver-gray stockings?"
Qin stood in front of the wardrobe, holding two stockings in her hand, and asked with a conflicted expression.
Barbara was stunned when she saw this familiar scene.
She couldn't help but recall the scene from her dream, the terrible sight on the bed that she would never forget after pushing open the bedroom door.
Barbara's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest that made it hard to breathe. She clutched her chest, gasping for breath, her face pale.
Could it be that my sister has really betrayed me?
An absurd guess popped into Barbara's mind, but she immediately shook her head vigorously, trying to deny it.
No, not possible!
She's my own older sister!
My favorite older sister, who has always protected me, cared for me, and looked after me, how could that bond that transcends blood ties, that sincere sisterhood formed by two hearts intertwined without reservation, ever change?
No! No way! My sister wouldn't betray me!
"Huh? Barbara, what's wrong? Are you really okay?"
Qin noticed Barbara's pale face, quickly put down the stockings in her hand, moved closer to Barbara, and touched Barbara's forehead: "Oh, why is your forehead so cold? What nightmare did you have that scared you like this?"
Jean hugged Barbara, looking remorseful: "It's all my fault, sister. I shouldn't have let you and Jeanne d'Arc run around yesterday. If I had let you stay in the hotel and adjust to the time difference, you probably wouldn't have had nightmares."
"Sister, I'm fine."
Barbara felt her sister's warm embrace, and her tense heart gradually relaxed.
How could this warmth be fake?
I shouldn't have doubted my sister.
Although she thought this to herself, for some reason, Barbara didn't tell anyone about her dream from last night.
She gently broke free from Qin's embrace, revealing a bright smile: "Okay, sister, I'm fine now!"
Before Qin could ask any further questions, Barbara got out of bed, picked up the two pairs of stockings Qin had thrown on the bed, and asked with feigned curiosity, "Is today some special day? Why are you dressed so formally, sister?"
Upon hearing this, Qin blushed slightly, but pretended to be calm and said, "It's not an important day. It's just that my sister is meeting an important client today, so she wants to dress more formally."
"Important clients?"
Upon hearing this, Barbara tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Then, should Barbara leave to make room for you?"
"Make room available?"
Qin was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was talking about. She said with a hint of anger, "What are you thinking? How could I possibly meet with a client in my bedroom? This time, I'm going out to meet with them at their company."
It's not the same as the story in my dream.
Was I just overthinking it?
Upon hearing this, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief and finally showed a relaxed smile: "Don't be angry, sister. I was just joking."
As she said this, Barbara put the silver-gray stockings into the wardrobe, then waved the black stockings at Qin: "Black, sister looks best in black stockings."
"So, as an apology, should Barbara help her sister get dressed?"
"Eh?"
Qin was stunned for a moment, looking at Barbara's relaxed smile, when a terrible thought suddenly rose in her mind.
The older sister, wearing stockings chosen and helped to put on by her younger sister, went to seduce her sister's man, only to have them brutally torn to shreds by him.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary!"
Qin was startled by her own terrible thought and quickly waved her hand in refusal: "I can put it on myself."
Qin snatched the stockings and hurriedly put them on her legs, using the act of putting on the stockings to hide her panic, her heart filled with shame.
Qin, how could you have such terrible thoughts? It's so depraved!
How heartbroken my sister would be if she found out!
It's all because of that book, "My Daily Romantic Relationship with the Commander in the Port." I read it all night last night, and it's made my brain act strange.
Miss Hood is certainly a very mature and elegant lady, but there are also many strange girls in the book with weird and terrible ideas. Jean felt that she seemed to be affected by those terrible and shameful remarks.
"Sister, would you like Barbara to come with you to meet the client?"
Barbara watched as Qin pulled her stockings up to her thighs and suddenly asked.
Upon hearing Barbara's words, the piano player paused for a barely perceptible moment, then immediately smiled and declined as if nothing had happened: "No need. Aren't you going to accompany Black Jeanne to check the wedding dress shop's video today? I remember you said yesterday that you were very curious about what kind of man could bewitch Black Jeanne."
"I'm also very curious about what kind of man Jeanne Alter likes. Why don't you tell me when you come back tonight?"
Jean wanted to get Barbara away from her. Not only could she not let Barbara stay by her side, but she also wanted to get Barbara away from Mond International as much as possible.
Otherwise, if Barbara and Fu Hua happen to bump into each other and happen to talk, and Barbara happens to hear the name Ye Ming from Fu Hua's mouth, it would be terrible.
"Oh, okay, then you go by yourself, I'll go with Jeanne Alter to check the video later."
No wonder!
What does it matter to me, Barbara, what the person Jeanne Alter likes looks like?
For some reason, Barbara felt that Jyn's behavior today was a bit strange. More than her curiosity about her best friend and lover, Barbara was more afraid that the scene from her dream would repeat itself in reality.
She decided that she would pretend to go out with Black Jeanne in a little while, then sneak in through the window and hide under the bed to see if anything would happen.
Although it was wrong to doubt her favorite older sister, Barbara was just too uneasy.
I can just apologize to my sister later.
As for Jeanne Alter, we're all good friends, so it's okay if she stands me up once in a while. Besides, if Jeanne Alter really does find someone she likes, she'll need some alone time with her partner, so I won't be a third wheel.
With that thought in mind, Barbara secretly made up her mind.
"Sister, I'm going out with Jeanne Alter first."
She got dressed, said goodbye to Qin, and went out.
Next door, Black Jeanne had already gotten dressed and was getting impatient. When she saw Barbara come in, she quickly grabbed Barbara's hand and rushed out, saying, "I've been waiting for you for so long, let's go, let's go!"
Barbara gently pulled her hand away from Jeanne Alter's and gave a tender smile: "Jeanne Alter, I won't go with you."
"Huh?" Jeanne Alter turned around in surprise to look at Barbara.
"Think about it, if you really find the person you're looking for and reunite with the person you like after a long time, it's definitely better to be alone with your lover than to have friends around."
"So, I won't bother you anymore."
Barbara said sincerely, "Alter Jeanne, I wish you success in finding your lover and happiness in the future."
"Barbara, you..."
Black Jeanne was somewhat moved; she hadn't expected her good friend to be so considerate of her.
"Thank you, Barbara!"
Moved, Jeanne Alter, unusually, did not deny her feelings with arrogance. She took a deep breath, gave Barbara a bright smile, and then turned and strode out of the room.
May you be happy! (Alter Jeanne)
Barbara watched Jeanne Alter's retreating figure and offered her sincere blessings.
Although she didn't accompany Jeanne Alter this time because she had her own ulterior motives, her blessings for her good friend were sincere.
Chapter 138 Tutor Qin, reporting for duty!
They've finally left.
Seeing Barbara leave, Jyn, who had been feeling guilty and nervous, felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders and she felt completely relaxed.
However, she was immediately stunned.
Why did she treat her favorite younger sister, the sister she wanted to keep by her side and cherish, as a burden and pressure?
Can she still be considered a good older sister?
Qin felt ashamed upon realizing this.
Why not just be honest with Barbara, tell her about Ye Ming, and then go with her to find Ye Ming?
Between sisters, the things we like the most should of course be shared together. Isn't that an agreement we made a long time ago?
Thinking this, on impulse, Qin picked up her phone, about to call Barbara and confess to her favorite younger sister.
However, before she could even touch her phone, it rang by itself.
Qin picked up her phone and saw that it was Fu Hua calling.
Qin's heart skipped a beat. She paused for a moment, composed herself, and then answered the phone.
