"I see~"
The three of them were sitting in a small diner. After listening to Li ng and Li Qian's explanation, Ling Ning finally understood what had transpired.
However, Ling Ning still didn't quite know what to say. Li Qian had ntioned having a sister before, but who knew they looked this much alike?
Looking at the two sisters who were currently giving each other "affectionate glares," Ling Ning couldn't help but think that if looks could kill, both of them would have been riddled with holes by now.
"Sister, you really did a great job this ti~" Li Qian said to her sister with a deadpan expression.
"Of course. As your sister, I had to do well, right? Wouldn't you agree, sis?" Li ng replied with a smirk.
Li Qian gave her sister a deep look. "Are you looking for trouble?"
"Bring it on. You think I'm scared of you?" Li ng shot back defiantly.
"Enough, both of you. Shut up!"
Unable to take it any longer, Ling Ning finally shouted. She knew the sisters didn't get along, but she hadn't imagined it was this bad. Today's outing was full of surprises, and not the good kind.
Seeing both of them fall silent obediently, Ling Ning took a deep breath and said, "Let's just eat. No talking during the al, understand?"
The two sisters, as if sharing one brain, nodded in unison and began attacking their food, each throwing hostile glances at the other as they ate, like they were pretending the food was each other.
Being twins, they had similar habits and tastes, which beca a problem very quickly. Ling Ning hadn't even managed to exhale a sigh of relief before she saw the two of them practically wrestling over a piece of sweet-and-sour pork.
"That's enough! Let divide it for you!"
Ling Ning picked up the plate of sweet-and-sour pork and evenly split it in half. Hopefully, that would keep them quiet.
With the two finally eating quietly, Ling Ning nodded in satisfaction and began her own al.
But what she didn't see was that, under the table, the twins' legs were not idle. Since they couldn't fight openly, they decided to wage a covert war beneath the table.
Because Li ng had injured her right foot, she was at a slight disadvantage in this skirmish. However, since she was sitting next to Ling Ning, Li Qian was also hesitant to go too far, fearing she'd accidentally kick Ling Ning. And so, the two exchanged covert blows, neither gaining the upper hand.
Seeing the table subtly shaking, Ling Ning knew the sisters were at it again. She frowned, her face turning stern as she said, "Are you two done yet? If you keep this up, I'm going ho."
Seeing Ling Ning's expression, which showed she was genuinely annoyed, both sisters reluctantly decided to behave, finally eating their al properly.
Ling Ning ended up treating them to lunch. Even with her thick skin, she felt a bit guilty for constantly leeching off Li Qian. An occasional treat would make her feel less awkward about freeloading in the future.
"What should we do this afternoon? Since your sister's hurt her foot, maybe we should call it a day? I can go out with you another ti," Ling Ning suggested to Li Qian.
"She can go ho if she's hurt. Besides, she wasn't even supposed to be here today," Li Qian said, giving her sister a sidelong glance. She had already wasted the entire morning looking for them, and she wasn't about to lose the afternoon too.
"I'm not going ho~ I'm feeling much better now. As long as Ling Ning helps , I'll be fine." As she spoke, Li ng grabbed onto Ling Ning's arm, shooting her sister a challenging look.
Ling Ning sighed in resignation. Just then, she rembered there was a movie theater nearby. Watching a film seed like a good idea.
"Why don't we go watch a movie? Isn't there a popular one out now called 'Your Na' or sothing?"
"'Your Na'!?" Both sisters exclaid at the sa ti.
The movie had already been released in Japan, and it had only recently gotten the rights to be shown in China. It was said that most people who went to watch it were couples, and those who confessed their feelings after watching it reportedly had a high success rate.
"Sure, sounds great~" Both sisters agreed imdiately.

The popularity of "Your Na" took Ling Ning by surprise. The theater was almost full, and it was lucky that her streak of good fortune continued. She managed to snag three seats together for the upcoming showti.
There was still a bit of ti before the movie started. The area around them was filled with couples, or people who looked like couples. There were also a few who ca alone, and even so who had brought body pillows. For so reason, Ling Ning suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Realizing she had drunk too much water at lunch, Ling Ning turned to the sisters and said, "I'm going to the restroom. You two better behave while I'm gone. If I co back and see you two... well, you know."
With that, she got up and headed to the restroom.
The n's restroom was just before the won's, so anyone going to the latter had to pass by the forr. As Ling Ning walked by, a few pretty young won ca out of the n's restroom, laughing and chatting.
"Are girls today really this bold? Or..." Ling Ning smiled knowingly as she walked into the won's restroom.
On the other side...
Li Qian squinted at her sister, her voice cold as she asked, "What are you really trying to do?"
"Don't you get it by now? Whatever you like, I'll like too." Li ng smiled sweetly.
Hearing her sister's words, Li Qian was silent for a mont before replying, "I don't know what you're talking about, dear sister."
"Oh? If you really don't know, then I won't hold back."
"You..." Li Qian was about to argue back when Ling Ning returned from the restroom, so she swallowed her words.
"This is better~ Sisters should get along, not hurt each other all the ti. Alright, the movie is about to start, let's go in."
"Sure~" Li ng carefully stood up, imdiately clinging to Ling Ning's arm, then shot her sister another challenging look.
Seeing this, Li Qian felt her anger boiling. She had been first, so why was her sister acting so comfortable and familiar?
Unable to stand it, Li Qian moved to Ling Ning's other side and grabbed her other arm.
If Ling Ning were still a guy, she would have been killed by the death glares directed at her from around the room. After all, two gorgeous twin sisters holding onto one person was quite a sight.
But even as a girl, Ling Ning was drawing plenty of attention. After all, a beautiful pair of twins plus a cute girl made for a pretty eye-catching combination.

Author's Note:
My idol has ntioned that many authors take ti off during the Spring Festival to spend ti with their families or for other reasons.
Of course, those reasons are understandable. But if everyone stops updating at the sa ti, won't the readers be pitiful?
After all, the Spring Festival is when people are traveling by train, plane, or boat to get ho. Isn't it tragic to be on a train without a novel to read?
So! As a proud mber of the "Word Battlers" team—part of the Blood-Spattered Squad—I promise there will be no breaks during this year's Spring Festival! No days off!
I'll even try to update more! For every author that stops, we'll make up for it, making sure everyone has sothing to read over the holiday.
This was copied from our group chat, but rest assured, this salted fish will also stick to this promise. Ten guaranteed chapters on New Year's Day~
