Why Has the Princess Left Again?

Xue Chiying had just received an audition notice when there was a dull thud. She looked up and blinked, frozen in place. Someone had just appeared out of thin air, dressed in a pale blue court gown.

A princess costume? Which production crew is she from?

She cautiously walked over and took off her sunglasses. “You… wait… where did you fall from, little sister?!”

-

After thinking about it for a long time, and secretly being thrilled for ages, Xue Chiying decided to find out if the princess felt the same way.

Still wearing the makeup she’d put on for the awards ceremony, she sat in the car, gently took the other woman’s hand, and asked softly, “Do you like me?”

“I do.” The princess nodded at once, smiling with dimples and clear, captivating eyes. “You’ve looked after me all this way, Sister. I’ve long considered you my real big sister.”

…R-real big sister?

Xue Chiying slowly let go of her hand.

As Xue Chiying stared in shock, Li You quietly turned to look out the window and let out a soft sigh of relief.

1.

Who at school doesn’t know Lian Hua?

Student council, radio station, all the big events, provincial competitions: if there’s a chance to be seen, she’ll be there.

Her roommate asks how she can keep going nonstop without ever getting tired.

The phone on her pillow glows faintly. The hurt from her big fight with her older sister is lodged in her throat.

Lian Hua lowers her head and cries, but her voice still carries a smile.

“Because I have to prove myself to my sister.”

Shi Jingye is the provincial station’s star host. Rumor has it that the national broadcaster has tried several times to recruit her, only to be turned down.

She’s devoted to the provincial station, where she works diligently day in, day out.

The day the interns arrive, the lobby is packed.

Lian Hua stands in the crowd, her eyes following her sister as she walks forward.

Shi Jingye passes her in formal attire, her gaze sweeping over Lian Hua as indifferently as if she were a stranger.

That night, Shi Jingye opens the apartment door and sees Lian Hua. Her brows knit. “You shouldn’t be here today. Go back to school.”

Lian Hua doesn’t back away. Instead, she steps closer.

Shi Jingye’s voice turns colder. “Lian Hua, ”

She stops abruptly.

Lian Hua wraps her arms around Shi Jingye’s waist and lifts her chin with her fingertips, gazing at her ardently as she leans in for a kiss. Shi Jingye’s body tenses. After a moment of stillness, she finally closes her eyes and silently gives her permission.

Unexpectedly, the kiss never comes.

Lian Hua lets out a soft laugh.

“Big sister, I only came back today to thank you for taking care of me all these years.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be good.”

“I’m graduating soon. I’ll move out like a good girl and never cling to you again.”

She turns to leave. Just as she passes the silent Shi Jingye, a hand suddenly clamps around her wrist and pulls her back.

Those eyes, usually so calm, can no longer hide their anger.

“Lian Hua… what do you take me for?”
