Chapter 45: The Embarrassing Aftermath and a Suspicious Dream

“Wuwuwu…”

Xiao Meng ran off in despair. Ah, this…

‘Sister, don’t go—!’

‘Hmm…’

Xiao Xi turned, glaring resentfully at Chick-chan, who looked utterly bewildered. “Did… did I say something wrong?”

“Her name is Xiao Meng… Shi Meng!”

“Ah, well… *cough, cough*…” Chick-chan cleared her throat guiltily, then began to explain. “I was just making a little joke, you know? I didn’t expect Xiao Meng to run off so fast. Quick, explain it to me, Xiao Xi~”

“Hmph, flirting won’t work. You just forgot, didn’t you? Forgetting even your own classmate’s name is truly despicable. I won’t intercede for you…”

Xiao Xi, surprisingly, sided with his younger sister this time. Even though his sister had already fled, his stance on the matter was firm.

“Speaking of which…” Xiao Xi suddenly recalled something. Mia… what was the school’s reaction to her doing something like that in front of the entire student body?

Hiss—

Thinking carefully, if he were the dean of students, he would surely be furious upon seeing such a scene.

“What happened after that Mia finished her antics?” Xiao Xi felt a strange flicker of concern for her, even though… even though she had brought it upon herself.

“What else could happen? She got a major demerit and was suspended. We haven’t seen that strange girl around school these past few days,” Chick-chan replied. Xiao Xi nodded slowly. Oh, so she was suspended…

Erm…

He had to admit, this outcome was quite realistic, far more logical than anything found in anime, manga, or light novels. How could someone do such a thing and face no punishment at all? A suspension was actually quite lenient.

Wait a minute…

Suspended?

Did suspension mean… she couldn’t come to school?

Then how had he seen her just last night!

Hmm?

Xiao Xi fell into deep thought. Ah, this… ah, this…

Could that girl have snuck into school in the middle of the night? Was she that dedicated? If he were suspended, he would definitely stay home and play games all day.

Ugh…

Thinking about it, it was quite dangerous. If he stopped going to school now and stayed home all day, his sister, as CEO, would probably leave work early every day to dote on him at home. He couldn’t handle that…

No, he needed to be more well-behaved. If he truly couldn’t go to school, it would be over. School was his safe haven right now!

However, he figured he wouldn’t do something like Mia did, so there shouldn’t be a big problem, right?

****

“Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~”

Erm… Mmm~

So comfortable~

*Cough, cough*, why did that sound vaguely suggestive?

Xiao Xi looked up in a daze, yawning. It was clear he was still a little sleepy, having only been woken by the dismissal bell.

Wait a minute…

Dismissal?

Xiao Xi watched his classmates already slinging their backpacks over their shoulders and rushing out, falling into a daze. Had he… fallen asleep during evening study hall?

Oh, he hadn’t even been discovered by the patrolling teacher? How lucky!

But he couldn’t blame himself for falling asleep. He was just… too tired. He hadn’t slept well last night. Xiao Xi had been dozing off all day during class. He had finally made it to evening study hall, where he could finally steal a good nap. He closed his eyes, and when he woke up, school was already dismissed.

Ah, this…

He hadn’t even done his homework yet, wuwu—

When would he ever catch up on his studies? It looked like he’d have to cram during the weekend.

Xiao Xi sighed, looking down with a hint of worry. Alas, times were tough, there was nothing for it~ It was all his sister’s fault!

Wait!

Hmm…

Xiao Xi suddenly noticed a wet stain on his school uniform pants…

Ah, this.

A wet stain?

Did he… did he wet his pants?

Xiao Xi instantly panicked. This, this, this… he hadn’t wet the bed since he was two or three years old. How could this happen? Could his sister have somehow caused some kind of problem recently? No, no, no… it couldn’t be, could it? This was unacceptable! If he couldn’t hold it while walking down the street later, that would be a huge problem!

Xiao Xi quickly pulled out a few tissues and vigorously wiped his pants. Chick-chan, who had been about to leave, had been observing Xiao Xi for a while.

Erm…

“Uh…” Chick-chan spoke up from the side. “When I was drinking water just now, I accidentally spilled a little from my cup onto your pants. Xiao Xi, you… that really isn’t… you know…”

Xiao Xi silently stopped wiping. Emmm…

*Sweat, sweat, sweat…*

Chick-chan continued to watch Xiao Xi, who kept his head down, not daring to meet her gaze, and silently resumed wiping his pants.

Hmm…

Chick-chan’s expression grew even more confused…

‘Stop looking! I know already! It’s so embarrassing, so awkward… Wuwuwu, why didn’t you say something earlier, or just go home, Chick-chan!’

At this point, he could only pretend to be innocent and keep wiping for a bit longer.

“Hahahaha… I know, Chick-chan. I’m just wiping it a bit so it doesn’t look so strange. You should hurry home, hahahaha, see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow.”

“Oh, oh… Well, see you tomorrow, but Xiao Xi, actually…” Chick-chan suddenly leaned in close to Xiao Xi’s ear and whispered, “If you secretly pleasure yourself often, you don’t need to worry about this!”

…

Xiao Xi mechanically turned his head, staring at Chick-chan’s playful smile…

‘We weren’t even thinking about the same thing! I wasn’t thinking in *that* direction, okay? What kind of things fill your mind, Chick-chan! That’s too weird!’

“Ma~ Don’t be shy, Xiao Xi. Although it might be a bit embarrassing to say, you were humming softly with a red face while you slept just now~ I’m afraid some boys might have found it unbearable~ Oh my, I actually felt a little fluttery myself~ Mainly, Xiao Xi’s moans are so cute~ Were you having a dream? Hoho~”

Chick… Chick-chan!

“Next time this happens, wake me up! Don’t let me broadcast something like this in front of the whole class! I’m too ashamed to face anyone, wuwu! Aaaahhh!!!”

It was clear that Xiao Xi was genuinely flustered, his face flushed scarlet. And thinking about it… he really did seem to have dreamed about his sister just now…

Aaaahhh!

“Pfft—I’m just teasing you. Your voice was very soft. Probably… only I heard it clearly~” Chick-chan covered her mouth, chuckling, then scurried away with a giggle…

Damn it!

Tricked, Xiao Xi still found Chick-chan’s words hard to believe. He grabbed Xiao Meng, who was about to leave, and asked her. After receiving Xiao Meng’s innocent reply of “didn’t hear anything,” he felt… a little relieved.

Wait… what would Xiao Meng even hear? No, he was still a little uneasy. Maybe he should find someone else to ask later!

“Xiao Meng, are you going home?”

“Hmm…” Xiao Meng shook her head. “I’ve arranged to go eat something with Senior Sister.”

Hmm?

Xiao Xi’s interest was immediately piqued. “Xiao Meng, you and Senior Sister seem to be getting along quite well, huh?”

“Oh, stop it! It’s all for you, Big Brother. Senior Sister and I still need to find new battlegrounds. You think we can just wait around like you? Hmph, what are you planning to do tonight?”

“I… I should stay at school for a bit longer, I guess?” Xiao Xi mused. And while he was at it…

Should he go look for Mia?

That red figure suddenly reappeared in Xiao Xi’s mind’s eye…
