Strategy to Tame My Dimwitted Older Sister A - Chapter 10

That said, back at the bar, Bai Xia had noticed that Chu Nanqiao seemed terrified of being left behind. No matter what Bai Xia did or where she went, Chu Nanqiao insisted on following her every step of the way. This realization sent a shiver down Bai Xia’s spine could it be that Chu Nanqiao was also a reincarnator?!!!

No way, no way!

If Chu Nanqiao really was a reincarnator like her, then at the bar, she should’ve just taken a knife and finished Bai Xia off right then and there!

Unless! Chu Nanqiao thought killing her outright wouldn’t be satisfying enough and wanted to torment her slowly?!

Was it too late for her to run now?

But Chu Nanqiao’s current behavior didn’t quite fit that theory. There was another possibility that Chu Nanqiao was just an exceptional actress, so good that she could fool everyone.

If that were the case, she might as well go straight for an Oscar!

Bai Xia still wasn’t entirely convinced. To avoid scaring herself further, she decided to find an opportunity later to test Chu Nanqiao’s intentions. “Anyway, you can trust me. I always keep my promises, so you don’t need to worry.”

Chu Nanqiao’s eyes still held a trace of doubt. After Bai Xia finished speaking, she shook her head. “N-no, it’s fine. It’s not too far. Just a few steps. I’ll treat it as exercise.”

Since she insisted, Bai Xia didn’t press further and let her do as she pleased. “Alright, then. Where do you plan to go now? Back to the infirmary? Or somewhere else to rest?”

Chu Nanqiao had just arrived and wasn’t familiar with the campus. Wandering around might just get her lost, so she decided to return to the infirmary. Hesitantly, she asked, “W-what about you? Aren’t you coming with me? I’m new here. If something happens. I’ll be scared alone.”

I can’t just babysit you forever!

Bai Xia grumbled inwardly, but she couldn’t say it outright, it would hurt the omega’s feelings, and she’d feel guilty. Instead, she reassured her, “Don’t worry, this is a school. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. If someone really tries anything. Oh, right, did you get your phone back?”

Chu Nanqiao nodded and pulled it out of her pocket to show Bai Xia. “B-but if something happens calling might be too late, right?”

That was a fair point. Bai Xia was momentarily speechless.

Still, it made sense. Chu Nanqiao’s looks were dangerous Bai Xia had noticed during training that nearly every alpha’s gaze was fixed on her. Even with campus surveillance, there had been cases of alphas harassing omegas before. Plus, Chu Nanqiao’s reactions were a bit slow. If an alpha really targeted her, calling for help would definitely be too late.

But Bai Xia wasn’t responsible for Chu Nanqiao’s class alone she had multiple classes to oversee. If she focused solely on Chu Nanqiao, she’d undoubtedly get complaints from the other homeroom teachers.

Worse, she might even lose academic credits.

That was something she absolutely couldn’t allow!

Academic credits were her lifeline. She could skip meals, go without shopping, but losing credits? Never.

Unless she wanted to drop out.

Bai Xia said tactfully, “Junior, here’s the thing. I’m actually the temporary counselor for a few other classes. The one responsible for your class is another senior. How about this, all us temporary counselors have each other’s contact info. I’ll give you that senior’s details right now. You can add him, and I’ll accompany you to the infirmary first while we wait for him to arrive. After that, if you have any issues, you can directly contact the senior in charge of your class.”

Chu Nanqiao was extremely reluctant in her heart, but she knew that no matter how much she acted spoiled or willful, Bai Xia wouldn’t abandon her own responsibilities just for her. If she threw a tantrum, she might even end up annoying Bai Xia. So, she had no choice but to relent for now. “O-okay.”

Bai Xia recited the WeChat ID of another junior who was also a third-year supervisor. Once she confirmed the other party had accepted the request, Bai Xia sighed in relief this meant she was finally free from handling Chu Nanqiao’s affairs.

But before Bai Xia could rejoice for long, Chu Nanqiao suddenly asked, “Oh, um, I-I still don’t know your name. C-can we also add each other on WeChat?”

Bai Xia: “…”

“N-no, can’t we?”

“My name isn’t important. You can just call me ‘senior.'”

“B-but my mom always says not using someone’s name when addressing them is very rude! S-so, you have to tell me your name!”

Bai Xia: “…” Honestly, you really don’t have to listen to your mom on this one!!!

Chu Nanqiao reached out again to tug at her sleeve. “C-can’t I?”

It had to be said Chu Nanqiao had a real knack for acting spoiled. Her voice was soft and sweet, and her big, pleading eyes, while possibly a bit annoying, didn’t come across as off-putting. It was just the right amount of charm.

Bai Xia had a flaw that Xu Mo often criticized her for she was too easily swayed. No matter who it was or what they asked for, as long as they pleaded a little, she could never bring herself to refuse.

Though Bai Xia had tried to fix this habit, multiple attempts had proven that she simply couldn’t. At best, she might verbally reject a few times, but if the other party persisted, she’d inevitably cave.

With an internal sigh, Bai Xia relented, “You can call me Senior Xia. ‘Xia’ as in summer.”

Chu Nanqiao silently repeated the name in her mind twice before letting go of Bai Xia, looking utterly triumphant. As if suddenly remembering something, she immediately grabbed her phone again. “A-add WeChat!”

“Eh! huh?”

“S-since you already told me your name. Then, we’re not strangers anymore. A-adding WeChat is totally normal, right?”

Bai Xia: “…” Why did she feel like she’d just been played?

But she had no proof!

Seeing Bai Xia hesitate, Chu Nanqiao pressed her advantage, taking a step closer. “P-please?”

Bai Xia took a step back, her entire being screaming resistance.

The movement was subtle, almost imperceptible unless one looked closely. But Chu Nanqiao was sharp-eyed and noticed it immediately. A faint smile curled at the corners of her lips as she stepped forward again. “A-also, y-yesterday, you, you already know my, my home address and contact number, right? It’s, it’s only fair that you, you should tell me yours too! O-or are you, you just pretending to be nice, but actually, deep down, you, you really dislike me?”

Bai Xia held an umbrella in her left hand and a phone and milk tea in her right, leaving no free hand to fend her off. She could only tilt her face upward, shaking her head repeatedly in denial. “N-no, that’s not it at all. You’re so pretty, junior. I like you too much to ever dislike you. Don’t overthink it, okay?”
