Chapter 132: Song Wanrou Gradually Becomes Yandere

Evening.

Song Wanrou came home from school.

She caught the aroma of a cooked meal.

She could almost be certain it was a dish made by Song Mo.

Her heart was overjoyed.

【Only my little brother's cooking tastes this good — just from the smell I know it's his handiwork. I just didn't expect him to cook today?】

【And he was specifically waiting for me to come home from school. Has little brother finally learned to care for his big sister? Does this mean the grudge in his heart has finally vanished completely?】

【If only little brother could keep being this nice to me forever!】

Song Wanrou's slightly weary eyes, tired from a full day of classes, softened at this.

She walked toward Song Zhai, her gentle gaze searching for any trace of Song Mo.

But what she saw was a scene she refused to accept.

Song Mo was on the sofa, playing around with Xia Rou.

He was pinning Xia Rou down, looking domineering on the surface, but the affection in his eyes was unmistakable.

"Tell me! From now on, who's the head of this household?"

Xia Rou, like a captured female general, refused to yield.

"I am!"

Song Mo went to tickle her.

"And now? Still think you're the head of this household?"

"Hahaha… Song… hahaha… stop tickling me, hahaha…"

"You are… you are… you're the head of the household, alright? Hahaha…"

Song Mo stopped his hands and said smugly:

"That's more like it."

"Now tell me, what should you do from now on?"

"I'll listen to you in everything."

Xia Rou caught her breath and said softly.

The way she looked at Song Mo didn't seem like how one looks at a lover.

Even though Song Mo was so outstanding, so powerful, and had achieved feats far beyond the reach of others.

But in Xia Rou's gentle gaze—

She still seemed to be looking at a big boy.

Song Mo suddenly turned his head away.

"Xia Rou, the way you're looking at me is kind of weird."

"What's weird about it?"

"It's just like how my mom looks at me…"

"Pfft—"

Hearing Song Mo's words, Xia Yu at the side burst out laughing!

Xia Rou, embarrassed and flustered, punched at Song Mo's chest,

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

In the midst of their play, they heard the sound of someone approaching.

Song Mo was the first to turn his head and look.

He saw Song Wanrou standing quietly at the doorway, watching him and Xia Rou at play, silent as a mute stone statue.

Song Mo felt a little awkward.

Xia Rou was also embarrassed.

Song Mo and Xia Rou hurriedly got up and straightened their appearance.

Looking at Song Wanrou standing there in a daze, Song Mo spoke first to introduce:

"Sister Wanrou, today Xia Rou and I made our relationship official. From now on, we're boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Mm."

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum.

And her expression was also… uh…

Blank.

"I understand."

Song Wanrou said:

"I'll go take my makeup off first."

Then she walked straight into her room.

Once inside the room, Song Wanrou could no longer maintain her calm expression and instead collapsed against the door.

She forced herself upright, locked the door from the inside, and in the bathroom of her room, splashed cold water hard on her face.

Still couldn't calm down…

She kept taking deep breaths, deep breaths…

Finally, her emotions stabilized.

But there was still a hollow weakness, as if her very soul had been drained away.

Song Wanrou just wanted to rest properly for a while.

She fell straight onto the soft, comfortable bed just like that.

Her mind wandered into all sorts of wild thoughts for a moment.

【Has my little brother finally found a girlfriend after all? But I was clearly the one who grew up with him, so why can someone else snatch him away with only a short amount of time?】

【I watched him with my own eyes go from wearing split-crotch pants to the handsome, dashing young man he is now, what a fine young gentleman... but in the end, he still doesn't belong to me】

【How I envy Xia Rou — the scenes of my little brother pinning her down and playing around with her, how many times have I imagined them, yet they never even appeared in my dreams?】

Hatred welled up inexplicably in Song Wanrou's heart!

【Because of the past life! All because of that vague, elusive past life!】

【These are clearly things I never did! And things I absolutely would never do!】

【There must be some reason in all this that neither my little brother nor I am aware of!】

Song Wanrou screamed inside, wanting to argue for herself.

But...

She suddenly felt it was all rather pointless.

【But what of it, anyway?】

【Who can explain such things clearly?】

【Besides, it's already a foregone conclusion now, isn't it?】

【I am his older sister now, and in the future I can only be his older sister, and I'll have to be his older sister for the rest of my life】

【Let it be, then...】

Song Wanrou was tired.

Perhaps ending it like this, putting a period on the reluctance and attachment in her heart, could count as a complete conclusion.

Composing herself, Song Wanrou quickly removed her makeup.

She opened the bedroom door.

The smell of food filled the entire room.

Song Mo had already brought all the dishes to the table and set out the bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing Song Wanrou come out, Song Mo smiled and said:

"Sister Wanrou, the food is ready, hurry and sit down to eat."

"I timed it based on when I figured you'd be back, and I've been keeping it warm — it's still steaming hot right now."

Feeling Song Mo's care, Song Wanrou's nose stung.

She forced a smile.

"From way far away, when I smelled this fragrance, I knew it was something delicious my little brother made."

"Just from the smell alone, I can't help but have my appetite whetted."

The few of them sat down to eat.

During the meal, Song Wanrou seemed to gradually let it go.

【Enough, enough, let it be】

【If my little brother can find his own place to settle down, that's a good thing too — as an older sister, as long as I see him happy, what could I possibly be unhappy about?】

Until Song Wanrou heard Song Mo's inner thoughts.

The inner voice that suddenly reached her ears.

Once again opening Pandora's box of desire.

【Uh... this feels so awkward, should I tell Sister Wanrou that actually, besides Xia Rou, Xia Yu is also my girlfriend?】

【Saying it out loud somehow feels a bit shameless, better not say it, forget it】

【Wait until Xia Rou, Xia Yu, and I have lived together for a while, and we've first properly adapted and bravely faced all of this ourselves】

Snap—

The crisp sound of chopsticks falling to the floor.

Song Wanrou was stunned for a moment.

"Little brother, I'll get it!"

Just as Song Mo was about to pick up the chopsticks, Song Wanrou crouched down first, then quickly walked to the kitchen and switched them out for a new pair.

In the kitchen,

Song Wanrou's expression was very off.

It wasn't surprise, anger, confusion, or puzzlement.

It was delight, and the sudden clarity of parting the clouds to see the moon.

In an instant, a thought suddenly appeared in Song Wanrou's mind and refused to go away.

【She can, so why can't I?】

【Since my little brother already has more than one place to settle down, what harm if there's one more?】

【I can take good care of my little brother too... no, only I can take good care of my little brother!】

【Xia Yu and Xia Rou — these young little girls, do they know what my little brother likes and his little subconscious habits? Do they have my twenty years of companionship and attention?】

【I am the one who suits my little brother best...】
