Chapter 29: Verification

After Su Xiao Zi pushed open her brother’s bedroom door, the sight that greeted her clearly left her stunned.

An unfamiliar silver-haired little girl was sitting upright on her brother’s large bed. That dazzling silver hair and petite figure confirmed to Su Xiao Zi that she had never seen this girl before.

Connecting this to the sweet female voice she heard in the background when she talked to her brother on the phone earlier.

A bad premonition quickly flashed through Su Xiao Zi’s mind. ‘Wait, when Big Bro hastily hung up the phone, he even took off his pants outside the door. Could it be…?!’

The girl’s voice on the phone, the mysterious little loli in the room, the pants scattered outside the door, and her brother not responding no matter how many times she called – this series of clues quickly connected in Su Xiao Zi’s mind, forming a conclusion that made her heart race.

She subtly reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and in a calm but slightly trembling voice: – “Hello, is this 911?”

– “My brother… he finally couldn’t resist committing a crime! May I ask, for this type of crime, if he voluntarily surrenders, can he avoid the death penalty? How much lighter would the sentence be for surrendering and actively taking responsibility?”

“Hey! Su Xiao Zi! Don’t mess around!”

The bedroom door was pushed open with a “bang,” and a petite figure rushed out, shouting: “Don’t call the police! It’s me! It’s me! I’m your brother, Su Mu Zhe!”

Su Xiao Zi froze, slowly lowering the phone in her hand.

Her sharp, perceptive eyes were now filled with utter confusion.

A silver-haired little loli, her voice as sweet as fresh morning dew petals, claiming to be her gloomy, shut-in brother? This scene was far too comical! She couldn’t help but cover her mouth, letting out a giggle.

– “Then I’m your dad.”

– “No, I really am your brother.”

– “I really am your dad.”

– “No jokes, I’m really your brother!”

– “I’m also very serious, little girl, if you were my brother, I could definitely be your dad~”

Su Xiao Zi laughed even harder, hands on her hips, posing as if she completely disbelieved him.

“Nothing left to say, farewell!”

The little loli huffily turned to go back to the room, but Su Xiao Zi grabbed her.

“Wait, little girl, how did you get into my house? Where’s Su Mu Zhe? The big brother who brought you back, where is he now?” Su Xiao Zi narrowed her eyes, her tone tinged with scrutiny.

The little loli sighed helplessly, her voice sweet yet carrying a familiar inflection.

“My dear sister, you still don’t know what kind of person your brother is? How could he casually bring some little loli home! If he really dared, wouldn’t you break my legs?”

The tone and phrasing of these words indeed had a touch of Su Mu Zhe’s usual manner.

Su Xiao Zi frowned, a hint of doubt surfacing in her heart.

The siblings’ usual dialogue style had always been this way.

“Stop messing around, what trick is Su Mu Zhe trying to pull now? Teasing me again? I’m not that easy to fool! He must have taught you these lines, right?” Su Xiao Zi crossed her arms, an expression of “I’ve seen through you” on her face.

A drop of cold sweat appeared on the little loli’s forehead.

‘Normally, he might actually have thought of teasing his sister like this…’

‘But this time, he had genuinely, literally, turned into a loli.’

His sister completely didn’t believe him!

However, Su Xiaoxiao understood. If it were her, she wouldn’t believe it either.

This would cause a strong impact to her preconceived worldview. An ordinary person would simply be unable to accept it in a short amount of time.

‘There’s no other way, I have to use that move.’

It was time to verify their sibling relationship, to prove its genuine nature.

Though clichéd, Su Xiaoxiao believed that only by revealing a small secret known only to the two siblings, from her own mouth, could she truly gain her sister’s trust.

So, calming herself down, Su Xiaoxiao temporarily went along with Su Xiao Zi’s words—

She cleared her throat, trying to make her pretty voice sound more serious, then leaned close to Su Xiao Zi and whispered: “Sister~ I know what color underwear you’re wearing today~”
