Fell In Love With My Older Sister’s Friend - Chapter 22.1

Although her relationship with Xu Luwei was not entirely intimate, asking her about this kind of thing was still better than asking Aunt Lin.

So Aunt Lin watched helplessly as the little girl dashed away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Aunt Lin shook her head and sighed. Zhizhi had grown up and was becoming more and more mischievous.

She was cuter when she was a child!

This time, Xu Luzhi knocked on Xu Luwei’s door without hesitation and called out, “Sister!”

The door was quickly opened. Xu Luwei stood at the doorway, as dignified and elegant as usual, inviting her in.

Xu Luzhi stared at Xu Luwei for a long time, but the other party remained calm, making it impossible to imagine the morning when her earlobe was red.

She concluded that her sister was hiding something.

Seeing her sister hesitate, Xu Luwei asked gently, “What’s wrong, Zhizhi?”

Xu Luzhi shook her head: “Nothing.”

She couldn’t say anything rashly now. If she asked now, she definitely wouldn’t get an answer.

Xu Luzhi pouted and sighed in her heart. Adults are so troublesome. They’re only a few years older, but they’re all so mysterious.

It takes her half a day to figure them out.

“What did you need me for?” Xu Luwei continued to ask.

Xu Luzhi’s gaze trailed downwards, landing on Xu Luwei’s chest. Based on her precise solid geometry, she made a mental comparison, silently calculating the volume and area.

Good. Xu Luzhi sighed, slightly disappointed to find that her sister wasn’t much bigger either.

Although it was a standard shape and size, it was far from the soft warmth of Lin Qingyue’s. There was always a sense of awkwardness.

Looking down at herself, she was even smaller, slightly rising, like an unopened flower bud, not at all related to the word “alluring,” let alone having a nice feel.

Damn it. She should have listened to Aunt Lin and eaten more meat back then, but she only focused on drinking milk to grow taller, forgetting such an important matter.

Oh, and her height probably wasn’t as tall as Lin Qingyue’s either.

However… Xu Luzhi licked her lips hopefully, secretly clenching her fist. It probably wasn’t too late to start working hard now, right?

As long as Zhizhi grew up quickly, she would definitely be as big and soft as Lin Qingyue!

When she looked up, Xu Luwei was still standing there patiently waiting for her to reply. Xu Luzhi originally wanted to ask some secret questions of a teenage girl, but seeing that Xu Luwei probably wouldn’t have the experience, the words that came out of her mouth took a sharp turn: “I…”

Various sensitive questions flashed through her mind, and after high-speed processing, they were merged and then rejected one by one.

Finally, Xu Luzhi asked weakly, “Sister, I just want to ask, how can I make my hair grow fast?”

Xu Luwei paused for a moment, instinctively looked down at her own curly hair coiled over her shoulder, and then at her sister’s student bob that covered her neck: “You want to grow long hair now?”

Xu Luzhi nodded firmly: “Mm!”

“It’s not impossible.” Xu Luwei thought for a moment and asked, “Did you tell Mom?”

“No need to tell her.” Xu Luzhi pouted, “I’m old enough now.”

“Silly girl.” Xu Luwei bent down, amused, and tapped her sister’s nose, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just to have Mom check it over.”

Although the family had strict discipline, Xu Luzhi was seventeen now, and they would probably agree to her growing her hair long.

“Fine then.” Xu Luzhi said reluctantly, staring enviously at Xu Luwei’s thick long hair. The more she looked, the more envious she became. If only she had started growing her hair long in high school like her sister, it would certainly look beautiful now.

“Zhizhi is so good,” Xu Luwei rewarded her by stroking her sister’s head. “As for how to make hair grow fast, I don’t know… Maybe you can try drinking more black sesame paste?”

Xu Luwei searched her mind and finally offered a suggestion that didn’t sound very reliable.

Fortunately, Xu Luzhi wasn’t truly seeking advice, so she immediately nodded: “Okay, thank you, Sister!”

After asking her question, just as Xu Luwei was about to close the door, Xu Luzhi couldn’t help but call out to her: “Sister, who… have you been chatting with all day?”

Although she asked in such a roundabout way, she only wanted one answer: Was it Lin Qingyue?

Xu Luzhi stared intently at Xu Luwei, trying to see if she would be insincere.

Xu Luwei smiled calmly and said softly, “I’m not telling you.”

After speaking, the door was gently closed, still politely. Only Xu Luzhi was left, taking a deep breath in anger.

Looking at the closed door, Xu Luzhi was even more certain that her sister was hiding something; otherwise, why would she be so secretive!

Moreover, that person must be very important to Xu Luwei.

Thinking of the smile on Xu Luwei’s face when she introduced Lin Qingyue, Xu Luzhi felt as sour as if she had drunk a large glass of lemon juice. She sullenly returned to her room and sulked on the bed.

Even though she had tried every means to get close to Lin Qingyue, in the end, no one forgot that Lin Qingyue was her sister’s friend, not hers.

Zhizhi was just an appendage to Xu Luwei, simply because she was a few years younger.

Thinking of this, Xu Luzhi gritted her teeth, her eyes darkening. She rolled back and forth on the large princess bed, feeling it wasn’t enough to vent her sour mood.

She jumped off the bed, bit off the cap of her pen, and viciously… solved several calculus problems.

After finishing five pages in one go and admiring the neatness and beauty of the mathematical formulas, Xu Luzhi finally felt her emotions gradually calm down, and she could do something else.

She opened her phone and sent a message in the “Flower Trio” group: “Um… do you guys have any skill recommendations for plumping up that something something qwq?”

She didn’t think much when sending it, but after sending, she reread it and felt it was too shameful, so Xu Luzhi struggled to retract it.

But it was too late. The silly sisters always replied the fastest at this moment.

Yingying Yingchunhua: “【Shocked.jpg】 Zhizhi, what did you say? What are you trying to do?”

Xuan Cao Lili: “Listen to me, eat more papaya, and give yourself a massage before bed, it’s foolproof! 【Wink.jpg】”

Zhizhi Not Going to Peking University: “Actually, getting someone else to massage you isn’t out of the question, hehe… 【Pervert.gif】”

Zhizhi Not Going to Peking University: “…”

Yingying Yingchunhua: “Okay, I get it, you want to plump up that something-something chest.”

Xuan Cao Lili: “Okay, I get it, you want to plump up that something-something chest.”

Zhizhi Not Going to Peking University: “…【Speechless.jpg】”

Xu Luzhi closed the chat interface and let out a long sigh. She couldn’t even look at the chat history.

They were all high school girls, so why was she the only one as pure as a white rabbit, while they seemed to know everything!

This is simply! Outrageous!

Xu Luzhi snorted angrily, tentatively placed her hand upwards, experiencing a smoothness and softness on her skin different from other areas.

She had never properly explored herself before. Now, exploring slowly bit by bit felt a little novel.

It was just too small. If only it were as big and soft as Lin Qingyue’s, the feel would definitely be… intoxicating.

Thinking this, Xu Luzhi’s face immediately turned red. Just imagining the picture of Lin Qingyue’s long fingers gently stroking her skin almost made her unable to bear it.

Not to mention if such a scene really happened, she feared she would drown in Lin Qingyue’s peach blossom eyes.

No, no. Xu Luzhi shook her head firmly after imagining that scene.

She wanted to be the one who made Lin Qingyue genuinely impressed, so she couldn’t be so unpromising.

The first small goal: Be bigger than her!

So, at dinner that evening, Aunt Lin was surprised to find that Xu Luzhi was indifferent to the feast spread out, but instead, showed great interest in the sliced papaya.

Xu Luzhi quickly finished the papaya on her plate in a few bites, smacked her lips, and felt it wasn’t sweet it was crisp, and not as good as strawberries.

But she resolutely handed the plate over: “Aunt Lin, I want more!”

Aunt Lin hesitated: “Zhizhi, don’t you only like sweet fruits?”

Xu Luzhi announced solemnly: “I want to eat more crisp fruits now.”

“Okay.” Aunt Lin walked toward the kitchen with the empty plate, not forgetting to instruct her, “Don’t just eat fruit, eat more meat.”

“Okay.” Xu Luzhi suddenly remembered something and raised her voice, “Aunt Lin, um… I also want to drink black sesame paste.”

There was nothing Aunt Lin couldn’t do in the world, so Xu Luzhi added a plate of papaya and a large bowl of thick black sesame paste to her usual meal. After she finished eating slowly, she kept burping and had to go out to the yard to walk it off.

Fortunately, it was already seven or eight in the evening, the sun had set, and the heat was subsiding. A cool breeze blew in the garden, mixing the fragrance of gardenias and roses, refreshing her mind.

Xu Luzhi took a deep breath of the sweet, thick floral scent, rubbed her slightly bulging stomach, and felt a bit too full.

But if it really worked, she would be willing to eat a little more hard work every day!

The large gate of the courtyard was firmly closed. Xu Luzhi looked through the high courtyard wall, accurately landing her gaze on the large sign of the hotel in the distance. Then, relying on her excellent eyesight and precise calculation, she identified the room where Lin Qingyue was located.

She stared at that dark silhouette for a while. Knowing she couldn’t see anything clearly, she only stopped when her eyes were sore.

Light footsteps sounded behind her, and without turning around, she knew it was Xu Luwei coming out for an evening stroll as well.

An evening walk in the courtyard after dinner was a fixed entertainment activity for the Xu family. However, usually, they would part ways. The courtyard was large enough that they wouldn’t easily run into each other unless they intentionally sought it out.

Xu Luzhi didn’t like walking with Xu Luwei, finding her too quiet and rigid, but based on her performance this morning, it seemed her sister wasn’t as boring as she thought.

Or perhaps, she hadn’t been perceptive before, so she hadn’t noticed her sister’s odd behavior?

Regardless, Xu Luzhi felt an inexpressible discomfort now. She wanted to approach the person she missed so much, but that person was determined not to stay by her side.

Even though she knew Xu Luwei definitely wouldn’t support her, she couldn’t help but want to confide in her.

The moment the footsteps stopped behind her, Xu Luzhi spoke, calling out sullenly, “Sis.”

Silence. The air was filled with an overwhelming floral scent, and the evening breeze gently blew past her cheek, stirring the girl’s medium-length dark hair.

“Have you ever… missed someone?” Xu Luzhi asked softly.

She had actually wanted to say “longed for,” but felt it was too heavy, too ponderous.

It couldn’t be longing yet; it was just a kind of missing, a connection that made her unwilling to part the moment they met.

It made her, who was usually carefree, learn to look worried.

Her heart felt both sour and astringent, and the corners of her eyes drooped. The last time she felt this way was when her math textbook was locked in the classroom for the entire winter break.

Even if she could borrow one from someone or buy a new one, it wouldn’t be the same as the one she held dearly in her heart.

Xu Luwei stood quietly behind her, and she could hear her soft breathing. After a long while, she still remained silent.

Xu Luzhi didn’t expect Xu Luwei to comfort her, so she stubbornly asked again, “Have you?”

“Sister, are you afraid to say?” The girl suddenly turned around, her eyes clear, meeting Xu Luwei’s gaze without evasion, and questioned.

Xu Luwei smiled serenely. After a moment, she said faintly, “I have.”

“Oh.” Xu Luzhi got her answer, kicked a small stone, and asked softly, “What does that feel like?”

Xu Luwei looked at her sister. After half a year apart, she didn’t know when the girl’s eyes had been tinged with a faint melancholy, the kind that only blooms with the sprouting of certain feelings.

Regarding this, she didn’t know how to respond should she let nature take its course, or should she offer a word of caution?

Moreover, she had her own worries. Xu Luwei had to admit that, no matter what she did from childhood, she handled things with ease, but she was completely clueless about feelings.

Faced with the precocious and restless Xu Luzhi, she couldn’t come up with a better solution and could only appease her for the time being.

Xu Luwei recalled certain scenes and replied, “I’m not too sure either. Maybe… it’s like wanting to forget someone but being unable to?”

She always restrained herself from thinking about it, but the other person’s shadow would appear more and more frequently in her mind, an indelible curse.
