Chapter 66: Your Little Adult Books Have Long Been Discovered
“Ah, this is just how I am. I can’t help but laugh while reading, you know. Xier, you understand me, right?”
Yake continued to concoct new excuses to dodge the topic.
“Y-yes, but brother, if you want to read adult books, it’s better to do it at home. Aren’t you worried about getting cut here in the bookstore? Thankfully, there aren’t many people around today.”
Xier was too lazy to continue the act with her brother. So what if he read adult books? Did he really need to lie to her about it? She wasn’t unaware of the stash of “collectibles” hidden under his bed.
“Ah… Xier, you’ve already found out…”
Realizing that his secret of reading adult books had been exposed, Yake was left speechless.
“Yes, actually, Mom and I discovered your little collection ages ago.”
“What! You both found out already? Damn, I thought you had no clue, so I kept hiding my new purchases under there…”
Yake was completely petrified; he never imagined that the treasures he had been trying to hide from his family were already known. Turns out, he was the only one acting like a fool.
“Hey, brother, seriously, if your needs are so high, why do you have to read those adult books to satisfy your fantasies? Just go find a girlfriend! You’ll meet your needs while also putting an end to Mom’s worries about your single status. Kill two birds with one stone, right?”
“Ugh, Xier, it’s easy to say that, but it’s not so simple. Look at me, I’ve got no money, no power, and I just happen to be slightly good-looking. It’s not like it’s easy to get a date.”
Yake shook his head in despair. If finding a girlfriend was that easy, wouldn’t he have done it already? Would he really have to wait for Aierjisi to sign a contract with him?
“But I don’t see you making any moves to find a girlfriend now.”
If before, he had no money, no power, and no looks to snag a woman, Xier could understand. But now, with Aierjisi’s help, Yake’s power had improved, he had money, and his looks were decent, though he still struggled. Yet, with all that time spent with Aierjisi, he hadn’t even thought about making a move on her.
“Cough, cough, of course, I have! I used to think I liked normal women, but after that date with Little Aier, I realized… I’m actually a lolicon. I’ve fallen for that little princess.”
“Oh, really? So when are you going to make your move? Just thinking about it is easy, but putting it into action is a whole different ball game.”
Xier stood up from her seat, ready to lecture her cowardly brother.
“Um… well, I haven’t figured that out yet. If I confess now, it feels a bit unromantic. I want it to be at the perfect time, when I can leave the little princess with the most beautiful memory.”
“Alright, if that’s your genuine thought, I won’t interfere with your relationship with Aier. But I think instead of just waiting for the right moment to come, you should actively create that beautiful moment yourself. Otherwise, someone else might swoop in and steal Aier’s heart before you do. You know how naive Aier can be. All it takes is a few sweet words, and she’s putty in someone else’s hands.”
Meanwhile, Aierjisi was out shopping for clothes with Reina.
“Achoo!”
Suddenly, while being forced to try on the cute outfits chosen by Reina, Aierjisi sneezed.
“Ah, Little Aier, are you catching a cold? It must be hard to get sick in this hot summer.”
“No, I can’t catch a cold! An idiot like me won’t catch a cold… Ugh! I won’t catch a cold! Someone must be talking about me.”
Aierjisi rubbed her nose. Catch a cold? Don’t joke around! With her Blood Clan physique, getting sick was a non-issue.
“Oh, I see. Since you’re fine, come on, try this dress on~”
Reina came over holding a lace-trimmed dress.
“Ugh, do I have to wear this too? There’s no way around it?”
Aierjisi took the dress with an exasperated expression and headed to the changing room. Given her restored memories of Guanyu, she should have felt some resistance to wearing women’s clothing, but after being pressured to try on a few outfits, she surprisingly found… she had become addicted to wearing these dresses! Every time she donned something new, she’d strike poses in front of the mirror, checking just how cute she looked. In just one short hour, her resistance to women’s clothing completely disappeared. What a pathetic story.
Ah, these cute dresses are just so annoyingly sweet.
Switching back to Yake…
“Create opportunities, huh… But what exactly should I do?”
Yake thought Xier’s earlier words were quite reasonable and pressed for more details.
“Come on, brother. Do you really need me to help you with this? Are you even a normal person?”
Xier stared at Yake in disbelief. While she was used to her brother’s foolishness, she really didn’t expect him to be this clueless.
“Ugh, you know me, I’m an idiot. Please help me.”
Yake put his palms together and bowed his head, seeking Xier’s guidance.
“Fine, fine. Who told you to be my silly brother? I guess I have to help you.”
Xier sighed as if resigned to her fate and continued.
“First, you need to take care of the little princess in your daily life. Don’t underestimate these small everyday acts. Little by little, if you take care of her daily needs, her fondness for you will grow over time. Like, serving her food, feeding her, washing her clothes, taking her out for tasty eats; all these things are easy for you and can boost her affection for you.”
“Uh-huh, so starting with everyday tasks? Got it.”
Yake nodded, pulling out a small notebook to jot down Xier’s advice.
“Then, you need to pay attention to Aier’s facial expressions and how others react to her. This might be a bit difficult for a dense brother like you, but to successfully find a girlfriend, you have to overcome this hurdle.”
“Got it… I’ll do my best.”
Yake noted this down too, believing it would prove useful on his journey ahead.
