Chapter 10: The Crazy Younger Sister Arrives

  I followed them with a different expression on my face, but Ah Qian's constantly shaking shoulders still made me uncomfortable.

  "Hey, you laugh again!" I viciously spat at Ah Qian.

  She coughed twice: "You, this cousin of mine, are simply the most spoiled kid I've ever seen.

  I hummed.

  "You're actually jealous of her."

  "You're just jealous of her, your whole family is jealous of her!" Seeing the aunt walking in front being teased by my cousin again, I snorted, "What's so great about throwing a tantrum? Who can't do that?"

  "Then you should take a good look too." Ah Qian said with a sideways glance at me.

  "Playing cute is also about who you're dealing with. If you play cute to everyone, then what's the point of playing cute? It's not like peeing." I quickened my pace.

  "It's really a case of saying one thing but meaning another." Ah-Qian muttered behind her back.

  I saw Auntie taking my uncle and the others to the second floor, so I was going to go to the kitchen to see if there's anything that needs help with. At the same time, I'll wait for their orders to come down and personally make them and bring them up. Ah Qian originally wanted to go home, but I pulled her into the kitchen with me in a very straightforward manner. The reason was simple: my cousin wouldn't calm down so quickly.

  As expected, we had just entered the kitchen when that crisp sound rang out again from behind us.

  "Sister, sister! I don't want to stay on the second floor, it's too noisy up there. I want to come and see how you make desserts!"

  "Oh, boss lady, is this your cousin? She's so cute!" Lan Jie waved the cleaver in her hand.

  "Thank you, but I'd rather you compliment me on how pretty I look." Her younger cousin said without any modesty.

  Xijia looked up and took a glance: "And the voice is as sweet as Huang Ying's, it sounds really nice."

  "Thank you, I sing better."

  "Then why don't you dedicate a song?" Lan Jie teased her.

  "No way, I only sing when I'm in the mood and for people I want to. And right now, I don't feel like singing for you guys." She's becoming more and more arrogant.

  Lan and Xi burst out laughing, while another dessert chef perhaps still unaccustomed to our place quietly did her own thing.

  "What's going on upstairs?" I was puzzled for half a second. Then it dawned on me, "It must be Xiao Qiao upstairs."

  "Who is Xiao Qiao? Is it a waiter? Male or female?" She raised her small head and said seriously, "Just now on the stairs, I saw a male waiter who was ugly to death. Who chose him? Such poor eyesight?"

  "Is it very ugly? I think it's quite pretty, and besides, your aunt carefully chose it." I said with a straight face.

  She looked at me with a scornful smile: "You don't even dare to admit what you've done, I asked Wen's mother about it, and it was clearly you who picked it."

  “……”

  "Eldest sister, you wouldn't like that type, would you? His build is really weak, one look and you can tell he doesn't have abs or pecs, when did your taste become so light?"

  "You're getting too carried away." I turned around with a headache.

  "Your cousin dislikes being disturbed when making desserts. If you want to watch, be quiet." Ah Qian's slightly chilly voice rang out in time.

  "Really? Okay then." My younger cousin said, starting to examine the facilities in the kitchen, curiously touching this and that. "What's this?"

  I took a glance at what was in her hand: "Pineapple peeler."

  "Wow, pineapples have peelers now. So advanced." My younger sister exclaimed in surprise, "Then what about this one that looks even more advanced?"

  "Apple peeler and slicer."

  "Tsk tsk tsk, sister you're so lazy!"

  “……”

  "Huh? This cabinet is so big, what's it for?"

  "That's the dishwasher."

  "Dishwasher? My sister's house doesn't even have one, and yet this dessert shop has one."

  I was intimidated by her tone: "A big sister's house is a big sister's house. My dessert shop is a dessert shop, and if I were to hire someone specifically to wash dishes, it would be a lot of trouble. Besides, the amount of fruit washed in the dishwasher every day is huge. Can you compare these two things?"

  "But I hate washing dishes the most, and yet I have to wash them every day at home. It would be great if my sister could buy a dishwasher too." She let out a soft sigh.

  Mother said seriously: "Because your sister wants you to do more housework, so that you won't have trouble getting married in the future."

  "It's not like that, I can get married. You're the one who can't!" The younger cousin stomped her foot and rolled her eyes. "Qin sister, I know you're a good friend of my older cousin's, but looking at you two, aren't you actually a lesbian couple?"

  "Ah..." The durian in a plastic bag that I was holding was squeezed into a lump of mud by me.

  Put down the durian, I couldn't help but turn back: "Bai Yue, that's enough, get out!"

  "Are you embarrassed and angry now?" Bai Yue said with a smug face, "Since sister usually likes men to be gay, I knew your sexual orientation had problems."

  "You're already a high school student, don't be so childish with your words. Can you just casually say 'lily' like that?"

  "Why can you just casually talk about glass?" she retorted, unwilling to back down.

  I was left speechless.

  She went on and on: "You always pair men with men, without considering the feelings of men, especially those who like you. You even pretend to be a chaste holy mother, have you ever thought that they would feel uncomfortable or embarrassed?"

  “……”

  "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't still be single now. It's all because of you that the person I like has become gay. I hate you to death!" She looked at me with a mix of anger and grievance, her mouth pouting, and suddenly burst into loud wailing, "Sister, you're bullying me..."

  I rubbed my temples in a headache: "Again and again, why cry at every turn, can't you have some high school student's demeanor?"

  "I don't want to play with you anymore... I'm going home..." Bai Yue said while crying and walking away.

  Lan and the others saw that I wasn't responding to her, so they didn't make any extra moves. The kitchen was quiet for a moment, with only the mournful crying sound left. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Qiáo, who was standing upright, walked in carrying a tray.

  Under the bright light, Cheng Qiao's delicate and white face was as if it had a dazzling aura, and his complicated collar white shirt made him look like a noble young man from the upper class of Europe.

  Bai Yue's voice cracked as she suddenly stopped crying.

  "Huh, where did this little sister come from?" Cheng Qiao bent down to look at Bai Yue, laughing and saying, "You've cried until you're all tear-stained."

  Bai Yue didn't react at all, I guess she was stunned by Cheng Qiao's beauty, because I also stared blankly for a few seconds.

  Qiao smiled again, stood up straight and walked around Bai Yue. From a distance, she looked at me and said: "2nd floor 5th room, Wen's special order, durian and mango smoothies each 5 servings, also flower jelly steamed milk, weeping willow nectar, sweet heart popsicle, chocolate soft-hearted pudding, blueberry yogurt ice cream, durian floating popsicle."

  I was stunned: "So much? Can they finish eating it?"

  It seems like all the food I ate just now was for nothing...

  "Because Xiao Yi said that Ban Ji is going to pack up." Cheng Qiao took out a pen from the pocket of her horse jacket, "I'm writing the list now. I'll give it to you later."

  "Oh, okay." I turned around and continued making durian pancakes.

  Asha suddenly clapped her hands and clicked her tongue: "The sisterly fight just now was really wonderful."

  I gave A Qian a white eye: "I didn't do anything."

  "But you turned her beloved into glass. Was it real or fake?"

  "Believe me, it was just an accident, he originally had a tendency of subtle attacks."

  "Tell me, I'm curious." A shallow glance was thrown at me by Ah Qian.

  “……”

  Twenty minutes later, I finally finished the last durian puff pastry and had another server take it away. Ah Qian stood beside me with her arms crossed, savoring my words.

  "So, to summarize the nonsense you just spouted, two years ago your cousin and you went to an amusement park, where she fell in love at first sight with a muscular guy. However, that muscle man instead turned his attention to you after your cousin approached him, and you tricked him into thinking that if he could get a certain person to like him, you would agree to be his girlfriend. But he ended up falling deeply for that person's charming gaze. From then on, your cousin has been harboring a deep hatred towards you, often taking revenge by launching verbal personal attacks?"

  I looked at her with admiration: "You're really amazing, you understand it as soon as you let go."

  "Ahh, as expected, you can't judge a person by their appearance. Your little loli sister was only in her first year of middle school back then, and she took one look at that muscular guy and directly went up to flirt with him, her taste is really quite heavy."

  "It's okay, compared to you, it's not on the same level."

  "I would never take the initiative to hit on a guy. One glance and they come over by themselves." A shallow smile spread across her face.

  I was just about to strike up a conversation with her saying I didn't even need to make eye contact and someone would come over, when the kitchen door swung open again.

  "Little Jo brother, I really like you, really like you. Can't you just be my boyfriend? I'm really love at first sight with you...” Bai Yue pouted and pulled on Cheng Qiao's vest as she came in, still muttering to herself nonstop.

  I fell silent with Ah Qian.

  Bai Yue suddenly jumped up after a long daze, and then looked at Cheng Qiao's profile with deep feeling for a long time before rushing forward to make a passionate confession. Cheng Qiao stared with her eyes wide in fright, holding an empty tray as she rushed out of the kitchen, while Bai Yue quickly chased after her, leaving us innocent bystanders with goosebumps all over our bodies.

  It seems that Bai Yue was also talking to Cheng Qiao in a tone that was not surprising or deadly outside, but it's unknown whether her back had been pierced by the gaze of female customers who were infatuated with Cheng Qiao, creating a smoky hole.

  Chao Qiao hastily walked up to me with a bitter face: "A Yao, can you think of a solution? How am I supposed to work like this?"

  Looking at him, even with this expression, his beautiful white porcelain face was not affected at all. I said heavily: "It's actually very simple to get rid of the little tail behind you, as long as you find a boyfriend..."

  "Bai Yue suddenly screamed and interrupted me: 'Sister, you're so poisonous, you want to harm my man again, I hate you!'"

  I slowly said: "When others ask for my advice, I must say it sincerely. If you have the ability, let Xiao Qiao agree with you now..."

  I hadn't finished speaking when I heard a "thud" and Bai Yue's body suddenly fell to the ground.

  Her ponytailed younger sister knelt on one knee, tightly grasping one of Cheng Qiao's hands. Her big eyes were filled with two lines of tears, and her tender face was full of deep affection, as if she had a lifelong devotion: "Dear, marry me! I'll never be unfaithful to you for the rest of my life!"
