He awoke from his reverie and met Bai Shimo's gaze.
"It's alright, as long as you're all okay." He patted Shimo's head.
"...How is Grandma?"
"Very healthy, so healthy that I wish I could die sooner."
“You can’t talk about Grandma like that.” He pinched his sister’s cheek to stop her from speaking recklessly.
"Brother, you already know how cruel the world is, yet you're still so gentle... sigh..."
Bai Weiran was already used to his younger sister saying nonsensical things, so he walked away to check his phone.
The app is still quiet when I open it; there are no messages at all.
He recalled that before he entered this mission, 007 had said that there would be other examiners for this mission.
But so far, he has started his mission, and the examiner is still nowhere to be seen.
The examiner either hasn't arrived yet, or the examiner has already arrived.
Bai Weiran had a very subtle guess.
Bai Shimo jumped up from the sofa, ran past him, and went to open the snack cabinet.
"I want barbecue-flavored potato chips!"
"Brother, do you want some barbecue-flavored potato chips too?"
"No, I like it plain."
"Okay, there aren't any barbecue-flavored potato chips in the cabinet, I'll order five bags of barbecue-flavored chips through Ugly Group Delivery!"
Seeing her younger sister smiling, Bai Weiran changed the subject.
Chapter Fifteen: Her finger flicked
As a result, the nearby delivery stores sold out of all their barbecue-flavored potato chips.
Bai Shimo was very unhappy. She lay sprawled on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.
"...I am truly the most unfortunate beautiful girl in the world."
"So many people chose the barbecue flavored potato chips, and they even ordered all the barbecue flavored potato chips just to target me. They didn't want me to eat any barbecue flavored potato chips. Sigh, beauty is often short-lived, and the world can't stand to see a pretty girl like me living a good life."
Bai Weiran was bending down to change the water in Friday's cat's water bowl.
"I have never seen such a shameless person."
Bai Shimo immediately sat down, her two braids tied into pigtails, hanging down on both sides, looking pretty and sweet, and let out a soft hum.
"What do you mean by that? Brother, do you think I'm not good-looking or pretty?"
"You are indeed very beautiful."
Bai Shimo's beauty is universally acknowledged, and Bai Weiran does not deny it.
He has experienced this deeply since he was a child.
When he was a child, he would take Bai Shimo out for a walk. When his aunts and wives saw them, they would smile at Bai Shimo, whisper to each other and praise her, showering her with compliments as if they were free.
"Which family's little girl is so beautiful? Why don't you come and be my wife?"
"No, it's my wife!"
After he greeted his sister and walked away, he could hear the gossip behind him.
"My little sister is so beautiful, and my brother is just...tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"It's a pity, he doesn't look like his sister."
"...No, I should say it's fortunate that my sister isn't like her brother."
"Ah, thank goodness~"
For the first time in his life, Bai Weiran became aware of the social inequality caused by appearance discrimination.
Bai Shimo was also influenced by this, developing an awareness of beauty and ugliness at a young age. She would often use an angelic face, a smile, and point her little finger to loudly comment.
"Brother, look! That person is even uglier than you!"
Bai Weiran: …………
The person being pointed at:…………
She didn't hold back in using her own brother as a unit of measurement for beauty and ugliness. After being scolded by Bai Weiran by pinching her cheeks a few times, Bai Shimo learned her lesson. When she saw people, she stopped shouting loudly and instead whispered in Bai Weiran's ear.
"Bro, look, that person is even uglier than you!"
Bai Weiran: …………
Fine, let her say it!
He had just finished pouring water for Friday and stood up when he turned around and saw Friday washing his feet with his water glass on the table.
Bai Weiran: …………
He strode over, grabbed Friday by the back of the neck, slammed him onto the table, and gave him a good spanking.
You beast! I'll beat you into submission with sheer force!
On Friday, it meowed defiantly, neither running away nor hiding, but sticking its butt out higher and higher.
Bai Shimo was very unhappy, so she lay back down, hugged a pillow, and kicked her feet.
"I don't care, I don't care, I just want to eat potato chips."
"Brother, this is my lifelong request: I want to eat potato chips right now!"
"There are still some original flavor potato chips in the cupboard," Bai Weiran calmly reminded him.
“No, I want the barbecue flavor. I’m a loyal woman.” Bai Shimo sat up, speaking with conviction.
“Brother, what you think is good is not what I want. If you want to be good to me, you should give me what I want. That’s what being good to me is all about.”
Bai Weiran shook his head and ignored him.
"Then forget it, you might as well not eat it."
He released his grip on Friday's bottom, but Friday, still wanting more, continued to stick his butt out and meow at him.
Bai Weiran: ...Was it because we killed the egg too early? We didn't even get to experience the joy of cat life on Friday before we missed our chance. Now we've developed some strange XP instead?
Bai Shimo, who had been making a fuss just moments before, immediately sat up, her face calm.
"Brother, you've changed. You weren't like this before."
"If you have someone else, you won't want your sister anymore."
"If Mengmeng said this to you today, would you refuse her?"
Bai Weiran: …………
"Hello, yes."
Cold white, cold lips.
"Then I'm different from Mengmeng. I'm your only sister, and you're using the same standards to judge us? You rejected her, but you can reject me too!?"
Bai Weiran remained silent for a few seconds, then, under Bai Shimo's victorious gaze, went into the bedroom to put on her coat.
He knew Bai Shimo's tricks all too well.
If he says he won't refuse, Bai Shimo's next sentence will be, "You won't refuse Mengmeng, but you refuse me? You're using different standards to judge us. Is that all I am to you?"
Bai Shimo was the progenitor of sophists.
Xx
They walked straight ahead along the road in front of their house.
Bai Weiran had just picked up her phone to check nearby convenience stores when Bai Shimo snatched it away and waved it in front of her face.
"Brother, it's so boring to just follow the map and look up all the information. Let's just stroll around like we did when we were kids, and go into any shops we see along the way—"
Bai Weiran shrugged in agreement.
They often did that when they were kids.
Bai Shimo doesn't like going home by nature and prefers to wander around aimlessly.
Even when he showed his sister a bunch of news stories about little girls being sold to remote mountain villages to be wives, Bai Shimo remained unmoved.
She even sighed as she looked at him.
"Brother, you don't understand the cruelty of this world. You know too little about it."
She's small but shrewd; he couldn't stop her, so he could only accompany her.
She wanted to eat certain candies and chips, so they would walk along the road, and if they saw a small shop or convenience store, they would go in and ask. If they couldn't find it there, they would go to the next one.
There was no rush, so I walked slowly along the road.
You can go quite far without even realizing it.
Bai Weiran remembered this and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Bai Shimo had already walked ahead of him, her hands behind her back, wearing a round beret, and turned around with a smile. She was wearing denim shorts and looked lively and enthusiastic.
“Brother, the road in front of our house leads to all parts of the world—it just stretches out, even into the universe, to places farther and farther away.”
That's definitely the case.
Bai Weiran smiled.
One in front, one behind, they strolled leisurely, or chatted about interesting things in life.
I searched six convenience stores in a row but couldn't find the barbecue-flavored potato chips that Bai Shimo wanted.
They arrived at the nearby Tianjie Shopping Mall, on the basement level, which is usually used as an underground supermarket.
They parted ways in the supermarket. Bai Shimo went to the snack shelf to find the barbecue-flavored potato chips she wanted, while Bai Weiran wandered around the fresh produce stall.
The supermarket is very large and sells a lot of fresh and cooked food, such as dumplings and wontons.
