Chapter 112: The Night the Bloodkin Loli Chose Someone Else’s Bed

The elevator dinged and stopped at their floor.

A key slid into the lock, turned once, and the front door slowly swung open.

It was just past 8 p.m. The apartment was pitch-black. No lights in the kitchen, no lights in the living room. Only a faint, warm glow leaked from the crack beneath Su Xiao Zi’s bedroom door, probably just her desk lamp.

“Finally home~ My whole body feels like jelly. How about you, Xiaoxiao?”

“I’m… okay. But today was really fun. Thank you, Xiao Zi.”

“W-W-What’s with the sudden thanks! I didn’t do it just for you, okay! I wanted to go too! No need to thank me! We’re good sisters, after all!”

“…Good sisters, huh.”

Su Xiao Zi suddenly looked crestfallen. She shuffled toward her room like a broken robot.

“Wanna take a bath together? We can scrub each other’s backs~”

She dropped her bag on the chair, ready to grab fresh clothes and enjoy a nice hot shower. After running around all day, even if the weather wasn’t hot, they were both a little sweaty. Nothing beats a bath for washing away exhaustion.

“I’ll pass. I don’t really feel like it.”

“Ehh? Girls have to stay clean and pretty at all times!”

“I already showered this morning, and bathing is such a hassle…”

“Oh? Regretful~ Then I’ll go alone. Are you still shy about your new body?”

“A little! I’m still not used to it! Just go already!”

Su Xiaoxiao’s cheeks burned the instant she remembered her naked reflection in the mirror. She scampered toward her own room in tiny panicked steps.

But she froze right in front of the door. The hand reaching for the knob stopped mid-air. Her pupils shrank.

Wait. This morning there was something really important thing I was worried about… what was it? Why am I suddenly terrified of my own room?

Oh right! Evran! That mischievous glint in her eyes this morning, like she was plotting something for tonight!

Su Xiaoxiao had even looked up “fermented tofu” online afterward. In a certain shady forum, the descriptions had painted such vivid pictures that her brain overheated and she slammed the phone shut while steam practically shot from her ears.

A promise she’d made without thinking, now turned into a “contract” with binding force. Meaning even if she didn’t want it, Evran could just grin and do whatever she liked, and Su Xiaoxiao would be powerless?

No way! Forced melons aren’t sweet… though they do quench thirst.

And Evran looked exactly like the type who’d quench her thirst first and slowly savor the sweetness later.

Conclusion: her bedroom had become a danger zone red. Do not enter. Worst case, she could just act cute with Xiao Zi tonight and sleep together. Xiao Zi would definitely say yes.

In Su Xiaoxiao’s mind, giant red warning tapes appeared, crisscrossing the hallway between her and her door while sirens blared in her head.

“Xiao Zi, can I sleep with y—”

Just as she turned around to beg, a scream exploded from Xiao Zi’s room.

“KYAAAAAAAA!! E-E-Evran!? Why are you sleeping in my room, and, and, naked!?”

Su Xiao Zi had opened her door as usual to grab clothes. Tina was leaning against the desk, charging in sleep mode, a soft blue standby light blinking on her head. The only light was the warm yellow desk lamp, perfect for sleeping.

Xiao Zi was about to carry Tina to the bed when she noticed a lump already under her blankets!

A closer look: Evran. Snow-white shoulders completely exposed, breathing gentle and even, happily hogging Xiao Zi’s pillow.

Startled awake by the scream, Evran rubbed her eyes, sat up calmly, and the blanket slid down, revealing a flawless, completely bare upper body.

“Ah, sorry~ Big Sis Xiao Zi. I got sleepy chatting with Tina this morning and just crashed here~” Her voice was soft, drowsy, and unfairly cute. Instant little-sister attribute critical hit straight to Xiao Zi’s heart.

“Never mind that! Why aren’t you wearing anything—!”

There was literally nothing covering her. Xiao Zi was too embarrassed to even look directly.

Halfway through the sentence, she glanced down. Black stockings and black lace panties with frills were neatly folded, mixed in with the rest of the clothes on the floor.

Her expression froze solid.

Wait. She’s not wearing anything at all right now? Even her panties are on the floor… She… she’s naked-sleeping in my bed!?

Su Xiaoxiao, who had rushed over after hearing the scream, swallowed hard. Her heartbeat accelerated.

She peeked inside, spotted Evran on Xiao Zi’s bed, and overwhelming joy flooded her soul.

In the blink of an eye she bolted like the wind, slippers going pit-pat-pit-pat all the way back to her own room.

The moment she realized Evran was in Xiao Zi’s room instead, the hallucinated red warning tapes instantly turned green.

She flung the door open, dashed inside, and,

SLAM! Click.

From behind the locked door came the most excited, cheerful voice Su Xiao Zi had ever heard from her:

“YAHOOO! Evran’s not in my room! YAHOOO!”

“Oh right! Xiao Zi, let Evran sleep with you tonight! Don’t worry, she’s a Bloodkin but totally harmless! Not some sketchy three-no product, 100 % safe! Super gentle, loves acting spoiled, perfect little-sister role-play, skin feels amazing, zero shame, you can touch however you want, and she’ll even warm your bed! So it’s decided, have fun~!”

…This might be the only time in history Su Xiaoxiao had ever rapid-fire complimented Evran so much.

Clearly out of pure, primal survival instinct.
