"I indeed fooled you, Sister Yumo. That’s my fault, and I am sorry about that. But haven’t you deceived too? And the one who started it was you, am I wrong?"
ngxi said, while moving closer.
Yumo had been continually backing away until she hit the sofa’s back. Now, there was no more room to retreat, and she was cornered by ngxi.
ngxi grasped Yumo’s hand, which was supporting her against the sofa. The intoxicating scent of jasmine from ngxi filled Yumo’s nostrils.
Furthermore, due to their close proximity, ngxi’s ample chest collided tightly with Yumo’s petite one, causing Yumo’s cheeks to flush.
She usually wouldn’t react so strongly to such an intimate touch from ngxi, but after that lewd dream and the experience of being kissed forcefully by ngxi when she was drunk, so strange thoughts started popping into Yumo’s head.
Even though she was angry, she still had an instinctual ’bashful’ reaction to ngxi’s closeness.
Yumo, who was as beautiful as ngxi, looked more enticing with a blush covering her face. Looking at Yumo in this state, ngxi’s mood was indeed lifted, but she still maintained a serious expression, filled with regret and displeasure.
"When we first t outside Winter Forest, didn’t you start deceiving by pretending to be a slave girl, And In the wooden house, you lied that you were my sister. Then in Wind City, you started interacting with under the alias ’Xia’er’. Also, until just now, didn’t you keep treating as the Young lady of Black Rose Family?" ngxi accused.
"This... this..." Yumo faltered.
"You’ve deceived a lot too, haven’t you Sister?"
"..."
"So, am I not allowed to be upset? Isn’t that a bit unfair? I’m also ’unhappy’, and I also want to lose my temper~ That should be quite reasonable, right?"
ngxi tilted her head, using her questioning gaze to stare silently at Yumo.
ngxi’s assertive expression and the content of her words instantly extinguished the fla of complaint in Yumo, leaving her dazed and speechless. She couldn’t even maintain eye contact with ngxi anymore.
After all,
’She seems to be... right...’ Yumo thought to herself,
’Indeed, I was the one who deceived her first... because at that ti, I wanted to stay by ngxi’s side with an appropriate identity, so I created so false ones. I even enlisted the help of people from the Abyssal Demon or the Black Rose Family to play along, trying to fool ngxi. I even felt quite pleased with myself when I succeeded in fooling her... Strictly speaking...,’
But the sentence was left unfinished.
’It seems like I’m also a liar, and ngxi is the victim... I deceived ngxi to stay by her side peacefully and nurture her. And ngxi deceived , initially maybe just to save her life... ’
’If I put myself in ngxi’s shoes, if I was suddenly taken by a stranger to the Winter Forest, a terrifying place full of abyssal demons, I would also pretend and try everything to make the ’enemies’ around relax their guard. ’
’An abyssal demon suddenly blended into human form Infront of her. Without knowing if they were a friend or foe or what their intentions were, exposing herself obviously wasn’t a smart move. Who knows if they would get desperate and tear her to pieces...’
’From this point of view, ngxi didn’t do anything wrong.’
’In such a situation, it seems... it seems not appropriate for to be the only one here losing my temper... If ngxi wants to lose her temper, it would be reasonable’
Thinking about this, the anger that Yumo couldn’t help but feel inside, gradually dissipated, replaced by waves of guilt, even taking over her rationality.
Yumo wanted to apologize, but thinking that she was still furious just now, and now suddenly apologizing, would seem very shaful, so she hesitated again.
Although her dignity and authority seed to no longer exist in front of ngxi, the current Yumo still didn’t want to accept this sad fact.
So, Yumo swallowed the words of apology, and turned her head away in a huff, completely showing a ’I don’t want to deal with you’ expression.
When all is said and done, realizing that she was actually in the wrong, Yumo’s initial cold, rejecting deanor had disappeared.
Looking at Yumo, still stubbornly sulking, ngxi gave a faint smile, and the questioning atmosphere suddenly dissipated, returning to her usual gentle and innocent deanor:
"Sister Yumo, since we’ve both deceived each other, aren’t we even now? Can we stop being so upset, please?"
She reached out and poked Yumo’s soft cheek, ngxi continuously coaxed the black-haired girl in front of her,
"Sister Yumo, can you stop being angry, please?"
"..."
"If you’re angry, you’ll get wrinkles~"
"..."
"Can we stop fighting, can’t we get along?"
"..."
"Sister Yumo, if you continue to ignore , I might end up in tears."
...
...
Under ngxi’s gentle and soothing words, Yumo’s mood gradually began to dissipate. Combined with her inability to resist others acting cute, and ngxi’s watery eyes, which had a captivating power...
It has to be said that in the past it was always Yumo who had to coax the children, but now being coaxed by ngxi, Yumo felt a bit strange,
even, a little comfortable…
Finally, under ngxi’s continuous persuasion, Yumo reluctantly turned her head, looking at the pitiful looking silver-haired girl in front of her,
"Alright, I won’t be angry anymore."
"Really? No more anger?"
"No more."
’What’s the difference between and a child if I keep being angry even when I know I’m at fault too?’
Yumo mumbled to herself.
"That’s... great."
Seeing Yumo gradually returning to normal, ngxi sincerely sighed in relief and gave a satisfied smile, her heart also eased a lot.
However,
Not long after ngxi relaxed, Yumo’s next words caused her to shiver a little,
"I may not angry anymore, but I haven’t forgiven you yet!"
"Eh? I thought we were even? Why are you still angry, Sister?"
ngxi tilted her head, a bit confused.
In response to ngxi’s puzzled expression, Yumo once again wore a stern look,
"It’s not because we deceived each other."
"Eh? Then why are you angry?"
"This... ummm..."
Looking at the innocent silver-haired girl in front of her, Yumo was depressed again. Indeed, there was deception on both sides, and technically it was a tie, so there was nothing much to argue about. She was found out, and strictly speaking, it was because of her lack of skills.
But,
Thinking back, this girl not only deceived her for a long ti, but also took advantage of her a lot!
As ’Xia’er’, she was used as a pillow by this naughty girl almost every night; as ’Miss Yu’, she had her first kiss stolen by this girl while she was drunk; even before in the Winter Forest, this girl used her ’childish’ excuse to take advantage of her...
Thinking of this, Yumo’s pale face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
In the past, Yumo thought these were innocent actions of a child, or that a pure maiden like ngxi had no ulterior motives for these actions. But now, knowing that ngxi was pretending, the aning of those actions changed.
Not only was she deceived for so long,
it seed like she was also almost completely taken advantage of these days.
Thinking about this, Yumo felt unbalanced again.
Anger welled up again.
Looking at this girl who was full of a saintly aura, but who had tiny horns appearing on her head, Yumo angrily said:
"So, how are you going to make up for all the ti that you took advantage of !"
