Transmigrating Behind the Mirror to Become Her Guardian Lady - Chapter 28

What happened so suddenly was truly far too astonishing.

Jiang Weilu had originally been sitting by the edge of the bed, thinking about her elder sister in deep sorrow, when she unexpectedly found a person suddenly appearing out of thin air and pinning her right down onto the bed.

Pinned beneath the other person for quite a while, Jiang Weilu failed to react, staring at the ceiling with a face full of utter astonishment. It was only when the person on top of her began to mumble softly that she finally snapped out of it.

In the next instant, a wild ecstasy flooded her eyes as she finally figured out what was happening. Her heart pounded so violently with excitement that it felt ready to burst right out of her chest.

Elder Sister was back! It was Elder Sister who was back! Her elder sister had come back!

In her excitement, Jiang Weilu threw her arms around the person on top of her, utterly unwilling to let go. After a year and a half, Elder Sister had finally come back to find her!

Unfortunately, at this moment, the alcohol had completely rushed to Shu Mengli’s head, leaving her entirely incoherent. Remembering her agreement with Jiang Weilu and persisting in transmigrating through the mirror right at midnight was already the absolute last shred of her consciousness.

As a result, Shu Mengli’s vision was completely blurred right now; she couldn’t see anyone clearly, nor could she distinguish where she was. She only had a vague sensation that she was pinning someone beneath her, but she couldn’t see the other party’s face clearly.

Struggling to recall things in her mind, she could only remember the scene of Hao Wei intercepting her at the entrance of the cocktail party. Consequently, she subconsciously mistook the person tightly holding her for Hao Wei. Instantly, she became furious, baring her little teeth.

“Hao Wei, aren’t you annoying?”

Hao Wei? Who was Hao Wei?

Jiang Weilu, who had originally been immersed in the massive joy of her elder sister’s sudden return while holding Shu Mengli tightly, suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her, and she froze.

Was that someone by her sister’s side? But wasn’t Elder Sister a little elf inside the mirror? How could there be other people around her?

Then, could it be… Could it be that the elf in the mirror didn’t just help one person? Could she help others as well?? Elder Sister was still helping other people?! Was it because of this that Elder Sister couldn’t come to her side for long periods of time?

Constructing such a scenario in her head, Jiang Weilu felt like throwing up blood. As the thoughts in her mind multiplied, her train of thought drifted further and further off course. A complex mixture of emotions welled up in Jiang Weilu’s heart, and her expression instantly turned dark and gloomy.

Right now, in her brain, her one-and-only elder sister was already leading eight hundred other small children around, running and playing together.

With the jealousy inside her overturning one jar after another, Jiang Weilu was furious. Baring her teeth, she wrapped her arms tightly around her sister.

“Sister, it’s me! Look at me, I’m Lulu!”

Such a loud shout finally brought a sliver of clarity to Shu Mengli.

Propping her arms against the quilt, she raised herself slightly off Jiang Weilu’s body, opening her eyes wide to carefully inspect the girl’s face. After a long while, she finally saw clearly.

“Wow!”

Shu Mengli cupped her face in delight, stars practically popping out of her eyes. Then, she threw herself onto Jiang Weilu once more, tightly wrapping her arms around the girl’s neck.

“Lulu! It really is my Lulu! But Lulu, why did you run into my bed… Oh, whatever!”

As she spoke, her slender arms tightened a bit more with force, and she happily snuggled against Jiang Weilu’s body. Following that, unable to restrain her emotions, she raised her head.

Smooch!

She planted a very resounding, large kiss right on Jiang Weilu’s forehead.

Then, the woman who was wildly throwing a drunk tantrum and hadn’t removed her makeup pulled her head away, leaving a bright red lipstick mark on the girl’s forehead.

Jiang Weilu was stunned by her sister’s sudden kiss. The gloom in her heart gradually dissipated, and she held Shu Mengli tightly between tears and laughter. She didn’t resist at all, letting her fool around as she pleased.

Seriously, you always call me a little child, yet who knows who the real child is here.

However, while being able to transmigrate into Jiang Weilu’s world was certainly a joyous occasion, it also came with its inconveniences. For instance, whenever Shu Mengli transmigrated over, the time on Jiang Weilu’s side always skipped forward, so she could never grasp the climate and conditions beforehand.

Take this time, for example. Before coming here, Shu Mengli’s side was just about to enter the scorching summer, so wearing a camisole evening gown was perfectly fine. But Jiang Weilu’s birthday was in February, which was right in the dead of winter.

Once the initial surge of excitement from transmigrating passed, Shu Mengli instantly felt the cold. She automatically wrapped herself tighter around Jiang Weilu for warmth, forcefully burrowing into the other party’s embrace.

“Ah, my goodness, why is it so cold? Are we living inside a refrigerator?”

When facing her elder sister, Jiang Weilu was forever thoughtful and considerate. Seeing the clothes Shu Mengli was wearing and hearing her complain about the cold, she immediately pulled the woman out from her embrace. Then, yanking the quilt on the bed, she buried her sister inside the covers, pulling the soft quilt right up to her neck, leaving only a single fluffy little head exposed.

To her surprise, the drunk older sister wasn’t compliant at all. Seeing Jiang Weilu covering her with the quilt, she hurriedly waved her hands in panic to push it away.

“Take it away, take it away quickly! You can’t cover me so tightly!”

However, Jiang Weilu, who had already begun to take on the form of a young teenage girl, had spent these years learning quite a few things from the old butler, and her physical strength had grown significantly. Shu Mengli’s casual wave actually failed to push her away.

Jiang Weilu patiently watched her sister throw a small tantrum, pulling the quilt back into place as she asked between tears and laughter, “Why can’t I cover you tightly?”

“Huh?” This question completely stumped Shu Mengli. Her eyes were dazed as she shook her head. “But, but it’s so cold here, aren’t we living inside a refrigerator? Then, then we must be ice creams! If you cover me with a quilt, I’ll melt!”

“Pfft! Hahahahahahahahaha!”

Jiang Weilu truly couldn’t hold it in anymore. She fell onto the bed laughing hysterically, clutching her stomach and rolling around.

How can Elder Sister be this cute!!!

Only after laughing for quite a while did Jiang Weilu finally catch her breath, slowly climbing back up from the bed. Then, she extended her arms, gently wrapping them around the quilt-wrapped Shu Mengli, and said softly, “It’s fine. If it’s cold, I’ll just hold Sister. I’m an ice cream too, and an ice cream holding an ice cream won’t melt away.”

“Ah! That’s true.” Held by Jiang Weilu, Shu Mengli rested her head on the girl’s shoulder, starlight suddenly flaring up in her eyes as she nodded. “Little Ice Cream, you’re so smart!”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Jiang Weilu coaxed her while patting her. “Big Ice Cream, you’re very smart too.”

Yet, to her surprise, while Jiang Weilu was patting her sister’s back and coaxing her, a good while passed, and she thought the woman was about to fall asleep. However, before long, Shu Mengli began to fuss against the girl’s shoulder, whining and fake-crying.

“Waaah, President Jiang, you have no heart, making me wait for you for so long.”

Jiang Weilu’s hand patting her sister’s back froze, and alarm bells rang loudly in her heart.

Who on earth is President Jiang again??? How dare she make Elder Sister wait for her! How hateful! I wait for a whole year and might not even get to see Elder Sister once!

Then, Jiang Weilu took a deep breath to calm her emotions, very calculatedly using her sister’s drunken incoherence to fish for information. “What exactly did that President Jiang do to Sister? How about we go beat her up together!”

“We can’t,” Shu Mengli shook her head repeatedly while holding Jiang Weilu. “We can’t beat her. If we beat her, we’ll lose our jobs. Waaah, Jiang Xin can’t lose her job. She’s already 28, and not only is she going bald, but she doesn’t even have a partner. If she loses her job on top of that, it would be too miserable!”

I! Who on earth is Jiang Xin again!!!

Jiang Weilu gasped. She had thought she was her sister’s one and only, but turned out she wasn’t! President Jiang, Jiang Xin, and Hao Wei—who were all these people!

Furthermore, did being an elf work on a employment system? Seeing how drunk her sister was, did their superior actually require such a cute little elf to go out and accompany people for drinks? That was far too heartless!

Just as a tumultuous wave overturned in Jiang Weilu’s heart, the drunk Shu Mengli broke free from Jiang Weilu’s embrace. Sitting on the bed, her eyes were unfocused, but her expression was deadly serious as she looked at Jiang Weilu in front of her.

“Little Ice Cream, your surname is Jiang, and President Jiang’s surname is Jiang too. But in the future, you can’t be like her and become such a bad President Jiang, do you know that?”

She actually still remembered the setup of the Little Ice Cream. Jiang Weilu was amused by her sister’s words, but she was simultaneously unhappy because of the pile of names she had never heard of before.

Pouting her lips, she replied, “What if I end up exactly like her?”

“Huh?” Seemingly not expecting Jiang Weilu to counter her words, Shu Mengli couldn’t help but daze for a moment. Then, she very seriously placed her hand on her chin, falling into deep, agonizing thought. “If you end up exactly like her, then I’ll… then I’ll… I’ll give you a kiss!”

As she spoke, she bent her waist slightly and leaned in front of Jiang Weilu.

Smooch!

She planted a kiss on the girl’s face, leaving a large lipstick mark.

Jiang Weilu’s brain short-circuited on the spot. What Jiang Xin, Hao Wei, or President Jiang—all of them were tossed straight to the back of her mind. Draw your swords! Only she could become Elder Sister’s little sweetheart!

However, her thoughts were very quickly dragged back. Because after delivering the kiss, Shu Mengli casually raised her gaze and caught sight of Jiang Weilu’s face. In the next instant, she collapsed onto the bed laughing uncontrollably, slapping her belly repeatedly.

“Hahahahahahaha, your face looks so funny!”

Hearing her words, Jiang Weilu subconsciously reached up to touch her face. When she lowered her eyes to look, her fingertips were covered in red it was the color of her sister’s lipstick. She let out a helpless soft laugh, her gaze watching her sister with absolute tenderness.

But tonight, Shu Mengli was truly far too exhausted, both physically and mentally. After laughing and making a fuss, and finally seeing the Jiang Weilu she wanted to see, her heart gradually relaxed.

Therefore, by the time Jiang Weilu looked over again, the woman who was dead drunk and had just caused a ruckus could no longer hold out. Covered by her little quilt, she lay there snoring softly.

When it came to matters regarding her elder sister, Jiang Weilu’s memory had always been exceptionally good. She still remembered that when her sister first appeared before her, she had once smiled softly and told her: After a girl puts on makeup, she must absolutely remove it at night, okay?

Therefore, ever since then, Jiang Weilu had always kept a supply of the things her sister needed ready on her side.

Right now, the young Jiang Weilu looked at her sister sleeping soundly on the bed, smiled, and shook her head. Subsequently, she rolled out of bed, considerately going to find the items to remove her sister’s makeup and take care of the drunk woman.

The next morning.

The sunlight spilled in from outside the window, painting the floor a light golden color.

When the person on the bed sat up from beneath the covers, she was practically grimacing and baring her teeth.

“Ah! Pain, pain, pain!”

A piercing ache struck her, as if someone were using an electric drill to forcefully bore into her brain. While whimpering softly, Shu Mengli reached up to rub her temples. After rolling around on the bed, she finally sat up, but the scene that met her eyes caused her to freeze slightly.

The materials used were luxurious and elegant, and the style was cold with a black-and-white color palette this was very obviously not her room; this was Lulu’s room!

Huh? When did she transmigrate over to Lulu’s side? It was over; she had absolutely zero recollection of it. Her memory had blacked out from drinking again!

Thinking this, Shu Mengli subconsciously turned her head to search for Jiang Weilu’s figure. Shifting her gaze slightly, she very quickly found the girl sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed.

In the next instant, what met her eyes was a little face sporting two massive lipstick marks.

Shu Mengli froze, her large eyes blinking lightly. Following that, she couldn’t restrain herself and burst out laughing with a pfft, her shoulders trembling with amusement.

“Lulu, what happened to you? Your face looks way too funny, hahahaha.”

Her movements were so loud, and since Jiang Weilu had always been a light sleeper, she was instantly startled awake. Her eyelids fluttered open, and upon opening her eyes, she saw the person sitting right beside her on the bed.

That person was backlit, smiling incredibly radiantly, looking as though she had draped all the beauty of this world over herself. It caused Jiang Weilu to look straight into the depths of her eyes, engraving the image into her heart.

Fifteen minutes later.

Regret. She felt immense regret. She shouldn’t have laughed so loudly just now.

With her fingertips holding a cotton pad, Shu Mengli was dutifully wiping the lipstick marks off Jiang Weilu’s face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The moment I get drunk, I easily make a mess of things.”

The feeling of the moistened makeup remover pad being wiped across her skin was slightly cool, but whenever her sister’s fingertips accidentally brushed against her cheek, the sensation was warm. For a moment, it left Jiang Weilu somewhat dazed.

Her gaze locked tightly onto her sister. “It’s fine.”

Saying it was fine only referred to the lipstick incident. But as for those words her sister had spoken while drunk last night, she remembered every single one of them without missing a single character!

What Jiang Xin, President Jiang, and Hao Wei! Who on earth were they!

When it came to matters concerning her elder sister, Jiang Weilu was always exceptionally petty. Temporarily suppressing the joy of reuniting with her sister, she pouted her lips and began to settle accounts after the fact. “But isn’t Sister an elf? Why would an elf still get drunk?”

Shu Mengli’s hand wiping the lipstick marks paused, and she clicked her tongue inwardly. How was she supposed to answer this? In the end, she could only respond in a mumbled, vague manner.

“Ah, about that, it’s actually pretty hard to explain.”

Jiang Weilu’s gaze dimmed a bit, and she dropped her head, putting on a pitiful, aggrieved little appearance. “All this time, I’ve only ever had Sister. Sister is so good to me; Sister is my everything! While I was waiting for Sister, I was both happy and sad, terrified that I would never see Sister again!”

“I thought… I thought Sister only had me as well. I didn’t expect Sister to actually have other people!”

Huh? What other people? Why are you making me sound so sinful?

Shu Mengli’s eyes were completely filled with bewilderment. After thinking for a moment, she reacted.

Oh no! Don’t tell me she had babbled random nonsense last night while her mind was incoherent from being drunk!

Hurriedly trying to fix it, she shook her head repeatedly. “No, I only have Lulu!”

“Really?” Jiang Weilu whimpered, clearly not quite believing her. “Then who is the Jiang Xin you mentioned last night? Who is Hao Wei? And who is President Jiang?”

Hiss!

Shu Mengli practically gasped a breath of cold air. What on earth did she do last night!
