Jiangg Ning gritted her teeth and stared at her, silent.

Her sister continued to gloat, “And here’s the best part. That night, it suddenly started pouring rain. Chen Yuan didn’t know I lived right across from him. On a night with such wind and rain, I was wondering if I should stay over at his place. But we’d only just started dating in real life, so a girl has to be reserved, you know… But then Chen Yuan actually offered to walk me home! Such a true gentleman. We went out that night, but unfortunately, there was a traffic jam, and the wind was so strong it was hard to even walk. We were both soaked like drowned rats. We hugged in the rain and even kissed.”

“Alright, you can skip the kissing part. Get to the point.”

“The kissing *is* the point!” Jiangg Yao clapped her hands, a dreamy look on her face. “It was so romantic. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it. Then I went home, and nothing else happened.”

“The Jiangg Family rules: if you don’t return home for the night, you’re punished by kneeling for two hours! Get over here!” Hearing this, Jiangg Ning finally snapped. She grabbed the hood of her sister’s pajamas and started dragging her onto the carpet.

“I thought this was a truth session… Hey, what are you doing? Calm down!”

“Fine… Fine, I’m calm! Just tell me. After I came back, did you ever sneak out at night to see Chen Yuan behind my back?”

“Only once.”

“Only once!? How many times were you planning on! Jiangg Yao, you’re shameless! Don’t you have any self-respect?”

“We’re a couple. We can do whatever we want. What right do you, you ugly hag, have to object?!”

“Who are you calling an ugly hag!?”

Jiangg Ning threw a slap, so fast it made a faint whooshing sound. Terrified, Jiangg Yao quickly pulled on her fluffy hood. The slap landed, yanking her hood down to her chin and plunging her into darkness.

She ducked her head as the hood absorbed most of the force. Seizing the opportunity, Jiangg Yao desperately wrapped her arms around her sister’s waist.

Shouting, she charged straight into her, tackling her like a bull.

The impact sent Jiangg Ning crashing to the floor. Luckily, the carpet was soft, or she would have shattered her tailbone.

“You’ll have to try harder than that to fight me, hehe.” She looked down on her sister, brandishing a small fist as if showing off her might.

Jiangg Ning rubbed her backside, her head clearing after being dazed by the collision.

“Besides all this, is there anything else you’ve been hiding from me?”

“Nope, that’s it. You’ve already found out the rest, and you’ve seen the chat history. Anyway, I became Chen Yuan’s girlfriend first. I knew something was up last night when Chen Yuan messaged me. I should have rushed in and beaten you up right then and there!”

“Then why didn’t you?” Jiangg Ning propped herself up on the carpet, looking right at her and articulating each word. “Why. Did. You. Not?”

“Of course, it’s because—” She stuck her neck out, but stopped halfway through her sentence, her gaze suddenly turning cold.

“Because you weren’t one hundred percent sure Chen Yuan liked you, were you? When you were pretending to be me, he clearly expressed that he liked *me*, right? So you got scared. You were afraid that if you told him, Chen Yuan would dump you and choose me, and then you wouldn’t stand a chance.”

The words echoed in her ears like a devil’s whisper.

The more Jiangg Yao listened, the tighter her brow furrowed.

“Don’t say another word! I don’t want to hear it!”

“To stop me from figuring this out, you deliberately twisted the facts, claiming I was the one who pretended to be you. But it was the other way around, wasn’t it, Yaoyao? Am I right?”

“I told you to shut up!!!”

Jiangg Yao lunged forward, clamping her hand tightly over her sister’s mouth. Her own lips pressed into a stubborn line as she stared at Jiangg Ning with a look full of hatred.

In that moment, she felt like she could tear her sister to pieces and swallow her whole.

But Jiangg Ning wasn’t afraid at all. Her gaze was even more mocking, staring at her sister as if she could see right through her.

Jiangg Yao closed her eyes, trembling, then slowly opened them and released her hand.

“So what if you’re right? If you have the guts, go tell Chen Yuan right now. I don’t believe he doesn’t like me. Go on, go right now.”

“I’m not going.”

“You don’t dare. You’re afraid that if you speak up and become the first one to reveal the truth, you’ll just end up being hated even more… So if you don’t dare to say it, what does it even matter?”

Jiangg Yao had keenly grasped the true crux of the matter. She suddenly seemed relieved, and her tone became calm.

Jiangg Yao lightly tapped her sister’s lips, then stuck out her tongue and licked them.

Her expression was one of pure ecstasy.

“So, what does it matter if he kissed you? I’ll always have a piece of it. Even if he was kissing you, half of his thoughts were of me. For a sister who has always pursued a pure and chaste love, isn’t this a fitting punishment?”

In their back-and-forth clash, every sentence seemed designed to shatter the other’s heart.

Murderous intent lurked beneath the simplest of words.

Jiangg Ning had to admit, in that moment, her heart was trembling violently, and the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Jiangg Yao had well and truly grown up. As her older sister, she had never noticed, still treating her like a child.

Now, her younger sister was a perfect match for her in every way, falling behind in no aspect.

She couldn’t even gain the upper hand in their arguments anymore.

In the past, Jiangg Yao would just get flustered and resort to insults like “stupid sister” or “smelly sister.” Now, she had undergone a jaw-dropping transformation.

Her sister understood herself, and she understood Jiangg Ning. Her sister knew exactly what Jiangg Ning hated to hear the most.

Understanding is the sharpest weapon.

…

“If we keep fighting and arguing like this, we’ll never solve anything!” Jiangg Ning panted.

“First, tell me if you did anything last night.”

“I didn’t.”

“I figured you wouldn’t dare.”

Jiangg Yao was panting, too.

They each leaned against the sofa. The scene was strikingly similar to their argument from two weeks ago.
