Chapter 20
"Senior Sister, wuwu…you're bullying me." Song Zhixia, with her peach blossom eyes wide open, looked at Song Weizhi, speaking in a tone that resembled a spoiled child.
"Senior Sister wouldn't bear to bully Xia Xia. Alright, try the longevity noodles Senior Sister cooked for you." Song Weizhi said as she pulled Song Zhixia to sit at the table, pushing the longevity noodles in front of her.
Song Zhixia's eyes revealed waves of happiness. This was the first time someone had cooked longevity noodles for her, the first time someone had accompanied her on her birthday. Thinking about it carefully, many of her first times were all thanks to Senior Sister. Now that Senior Sister promised not to abandon her, Song Zhixia felt incredibly happy.
Carefully picking up a chopstick of noodles and putting it into her mouth, Song Zhixia felt as if little flowers were blooming in her heart. Senior Sister's noodles were delicious. While lowering her head to eat, she also wanted to look at Song Weizhi. She sneakily glanced at Song Weizhi and found her Senior Sister looking at her with a smile.
Song Zhixia's face blushed even more. She muttered softly, "Senior Sister, you should eat too. The noodles are getting cold."
"Alright, I will also try the longevity noodles." After saying that, Song Weizhi picked up another bowl of noodles and started eating.
After eating a few bites, as if remembering something, Song Weizhi put down her noodles and said, "Um, Xia Xia, there are many ways to eat noodles, not just limited to fried sauce noodles. Besides, fried sauce noodles are too salty. Look at me, I don't like fried sauce noodles that much."
Song Weizhi thought that she should try to make her little girl less fond of fried sauce. This way, she wouldn't turn into fried sauce. Although she felt that her little girl wouldn't let her turn into fried sauce, she still needed to influence her gradually in daily life.
Song Zhixia looked up at Song Weizhi, a little puzzled why Senior Sister suddenly talked about fried sauce. But since Senior Sister didn't like it, she could eat less in the future. In any case, she had already built her foundation, and she didn't need to eat regularly. Although she actually liked fried sauce.
Remembering the past in the village, every time her adopted parents would make a bowl of fried sauce noodles for her brother on his birthday, and she could only get a little bit of sauce from her so-called brother. Her birthday was never noticed, let alone fried sauce noodles. So, she had always thought that once she earned enough money, she would buy herself a full bowl of fried sauce noodles. There would be big pieces of meat in the sauce! Over time, this became a dream for her. But now that Senior Sister didn't like it, she decided not to like fried sauce noodles anymore. With Senior Sister around, she was no longer a child that no one wanted.
Thinking of this, Song Zhixia quickly continued, "I don't like fried sauce either. Senior Sister's noodles are delicious."
Supporting her cheek with her elbow, Song Weizhi watched her little girl eating noodles bite by bite. Her round cheeks made her look extremely cute.
The little girl's eyes were like those of a little rabbit, occasionally stealing glances at Song Weizhi, as if afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
The little girl finished the whole bowl of noodles and then looked up at Song Weizhi. "Thank you, Senior Sister. This is the first birthday I've celebrated since I grew up, and it's the happiest birthday I've ever had."
Song Weizhi smiled and said, "Is Xia Xia so easily satisfied? Senior Sister still has something to give you."
Saying that, Song Weizhi took out a long box from her storage ring and handed it to Song Zhixia. "Open it and see if you like it."
"What is it?" Song Zhixia asked softly, taking the box. When she opened it, she saw a hairpin carved from white jade. At the top of the hairpin was a lovely little white rabbit. Song Zhixia didn't know why, but she felt joy when she saw the hairpin.
"Do you like it, Xia Xia? Don't you think this little rabbit looks a lot like you? Both are white and tender, cute and lovely." Song Weizhi looked at Song Zhixia with a smile, a tenderness in her eyes that she hadn't noticed herself.
"No way! I'm not a little rabbit." Song Zhixia stared at Song Weizhi with peach-blossom eyes, but her coquettishness was even more evident.
"Alright, Xia Xia is not a little rabbit. Senior Sister is a little rabbit, okay?" Song Weizhi quickly comforted her.
Song Zhixia nodded in satisfaction.
"This hairpin is a storage hairpin. From now on, Xia Xia can put anything inside. Come, let me help you put it on." Song Weizhi said as she stood up and inserted the little rabbit hairpin into Song Zhixia's hair.
Song Zhixia felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time she had received a gift on her birthday, and it was Senior Sister who gave it to her. Song Zhixia vowed to protect the little rabbit hairpin given to her by Senior Sister.
"Thank you, Senior Sister. I'm very happy today. I've never been so happy before." The little girl stared earnestly at Song Weizhi, her peach blossom eyes sparkling, leaving Song Weizhi stunned for a moment.
After recovering, Song Weizhi wanted to tease her little girl again. So, she spoke, "Okay, now that Senior Sister's gift is given, what birthday gift does Xia Xia have for Senior Sister? We share the same birthday, after all."
Song Zhixia was stunned when asked. She hadn't prepared a birthday gift for her Senior Sister at all! The whole afternoon was spent thinking about her Senior Sister's dao companion matters. In the evening, when her Senior Sister came back, she just hugged her and cried. She hadn't done anything for her Senior Sister. Song Zhixia explained anxiously, "Senior Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't prepare anything. I… I was too busy crying today."
Seeing her little girl on the verge of tears, Song Weizhi quickly comforted her, saying, "It's okay, Senior Sister didn't blame you. Besides, who needs to prepare a gift? Xia Xia already has something ready, right?"
Song Zhixia didn't quite understand Song Weizhi's meaning. Many things on her were gifts from her Senior Sister. What gift could she give?
Seeing her little girl looking confused, Song Weizhi teased, "Xia Xia, don't you know it yourself?"
Shaking her head, Song Zhixia looked at Song Weizhi in confusion.
Song Weizhi smiled and continued, "How could Xia Xia not know? A kiss for the dear Senior Sister can be considered a birthday gift for her, right?" Song Weizhi thought it wasn't a big deal for girls to kiss each other, and she just wanted to tease the little girl. She believed the little girl wouldn't actually do it.
Song Zhixia's peach blossom eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Did Senior Sister just ask her to kiss her? How could a girl say such a thing? Wasn't this what the ruffians in the village used to say to tease girls?
However, looking at her Senior Sister's expression, it didn't seem like a joke. Besides, her Senior Sister wasn't a ruffian; she treated her so well. It seemed like she just wanted Song Zhixia to kiss her. If she didn't, her Senior Sister would surely be saddened.
Moreover, Song Zhixia's gaze fell on Song Weizhi's cheeks. Song Weizhi's ethereal and fair face was adorned with a pair of captivating eyes. Her cheeks were even more delicate, making Song Zhixia feel an impulse to kiss her. Realizing her thoughts, Song Zhixia quickly shook her head. How could she thoughts about her Senior Sister like that?
But if she didn't kiss her, her Senior Sister would be sad. Song Zhixia spent a long time building up her mental fortitude, furrowing and relaxing her brows repeatedly. After a while, she finally lifted her head to look at Song Weizhi.
Song Weizhi found it amusing; her little girl was indeed too shy. Both being straight girls, what harm could a kiss do?
Just as she laughed at Song Zhixia's shyness, the little girl in front of her seemed to gather courage. Taking a few steps, she stood in front of Song Weizhi. Then, Song Weizhi felt something soft on the right side of her cheek. Did the little girl really kiss her?
Song Weizhi looked at the little girl, but there was no one in front of her. Song Zhixia had buried herself under the blanket in embarrassment.
Watching the little girl act shy even after kissing, Song Weizhi couldn't help but be amused. Who was taking advantage of whom? But to be fair, the little girl's lips were soft, and being kissed by her felt quite comfortable. Anyway, both were straight girls, and Song Weizhi didn't mind. She walked to the bedside, ready to tease her little girl.
Song Weizhi extended her hand and pushed the person under the blanket. "Why are you shy, Xia Xia? Senior Sister willingly let Xia Xia, my precious, kiss her."
"Wu wu wu, Senior Sister, please go back to your room. I… I don't want to come out." Song Zhixia felt so embarrassed that she thought she was about to die. Moreover, her Senior Sister was saying strange things. She just wanted to find a hole and hide in it.
But Song Weizhi didn't intend to let her go. "Is Xia Xia so heartless? Don't you want to see your Senior Sister after kissing her?"
"No, Senior sister, it's just that… Please go back to your room. I'll apologize to Senior Sister tomorrow morning." Song Zhixia said, still tightly holding the blanket, afraid of exposing herself.
Fortunately, Song Weizhi decided to let her off. Not only did she make the little girl laugh, but she also gained a kiss. Win-win!
"Alright, Senior Sister will go back to her room. Xia Xia, come out. It's uncomfortable to cover your face with a blanket. Be good, Xia Xia, rest early." After Song Weizhi finished admonishing Song Zhixia like an old mother, she opened the door and returned to her room.
After hearing the door closing, Song Zhixia finally relaxed the tension in her heart. She secretly lifted the blanket, lay on the bed, and breathed heavily. Thinking about her actions, Song Zhixia felt shy and rolled around on the bed a few times. How could she have the courage to kiss her Senior Sister? Now, thinking about it, there seemed to be a fire burning in her chest, but her Senior Sister's face was so smooth, and she seemed to like it.
Song Zhixia quickly shook her head, driving away these confusing thoughts. Perhaps it was because she had never had a close relationship with others since childhood, that's why she was so dependent on her Senior Sister. Besides, maybe ordinary sisters would kiss each other like this? She must be too sensitive. Sisters with good relationships must interact like this! Song Zhixia comforted herself, lying on the bed until she calmed down.
She touched the little rabbit hairpin on her head, the birthday gift her Senior Sister gave her. Song Zhixia held the hairpin carefully, and the cute little rabbit on the top looked at her. She smiled sweetly at the little rabbit. The ups and downs of the night finally calmed down. Now that her Senior Sister had said her heart belonged to her, there was no need to consider Dao companions!
Thinking about it, Song Zhixia couldn't help but laugh happily on the bed. Since she came to her Senior Sister's side, it seemed like she smiled more often. She was no longer the dull and hardworking Song Zhixia in the village. She tightly grasped the little rabbit hairpin in her hand, as if holding her entire world…
