Chapter 20 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel
Chapter 20 "Sister, you, sniff, you're bullying me." Song Zhi Xia looked at Song Wei Zhi with a pair of watery eyes, speaking in a tone that was clearly meant to be coquettish. "Sister, how could I bear to bully my little Xia Xia? Alright, taste the longevity noodles I made for you." Song Wei Zhi said as she pulled Song Zhi Xia to the table and pushed the longevity noodles in front of her. Song Zhi Xia's eyes revealed bursts of joy. This was the first time someone had cooked longevity noodles for her. It was also the first time someone had celebrated her birthday with her. Come to think of it, there were many firsts that were all thanks to her sister. Now her sister promised not to abandon her. Song Zhi Xia couldn't be happier. Carefully picking up a strand of noodles with her chopsticks, she put it in her mouth. Song Zhi Xia felt her heart bloom with joy. The noodles her sister cooked were delicious. As she ate, she wanted to look at Song Wei Zhi. She stole a glance at her and noticed Song Wei Zhi smiling at her. Song Zhi Xia blushed a little and murmured softly, "Sister, you should eat too. The noodles are getting cold." "Alright, then I'll taste the birthday girl's longevity noodles." With that, she picked up another bowl of noodles and started eating. After a few bites, it seemed like something occurred to Song Wei Zhi. She put the noodles down and said, "You know, there are many ways to eat noodles, not just with minced meat sauce, and besides, it's quite salty. Look at me, I'm not a big fan of minced meat sauce noodles." Song Wei Zhi thought that she had to subtly influence her little sister to not like minced meat sauce noodles so much. That way, she wouldn't have to cook it often. Although she believed her little sister wouldn't allow her to turn into minced meat sauce, she still wanted to subtly influence her in their daily lives. Song Zhi Xia looked at Song Wei Zhi and didn't understand why her sister suddenly started talking about minced meat sauce. But since her sister didn't like it, she decided to eat it less in the future. After all, she had already built her foundation and didn't really need to eat. Even though she actually liked minced meat sauce. She remembered back in the village, on her brother's birthday, their foster parents would make him a bowl of minced meat sauce noodles. She would only get a little from her brother's portion, and nobody cared about her birthday, let alone minced meat sauce noodles. So, she always dreamed of earning enough money to buy herself a bowl of minced meat sauce noodles on her birthday, with big pieces of meat inside. This longing for minced meat sauce noodles became her obsession over time. But now that her sister didn't like it, she decided not to like it anymore. With her sister, she was no longer an unwanted child. Thinking to herself, Song Zhi Xia quickly continued, "I also don't like minced meat sauce. Sister's noodles are also delicious." Resting her chin on her hand, Song Wei Zhi looked at her little sister eating noodles with her cheeks puffed, looking incredibly cute. Her little sister's eyes were like those of a little rabbit, peeking at her from time to time, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear. After finishing the whole bowl of noodles, Song Zhi Xia looked up at Song Wei Zhi. "Thank you, Sister. This is the first time I've celebrated my birthday so happily." Song Wei Zhi smiled and said, "Is Xia Xia so easily satisfied? Sister has something else to give you." Saying that, Song Wei Zhi took out a long box from the storage ring and handed it to Song Zhi Xia, "Open it and see if you like it." "What is it?" Song Zhi Xia asked softly as she took the box, opening it to reveal a hairpin carved from white jade with a cute little white rabbit perched on top. For some reason, Song Zhi Xia felt happy when she saw the hairpin. "Do you like it, Xia Xia? Do you think this little rabbit looks just like you? Both of you are fair and lovely, and cute," Song Wei Zhi said, looking at Song Zhi Xia with a smile in her eyes, radiating a tenderness she herself wasn't aware of. "No way! I'm not a little rabbit." Song Zhi Xia stared at Song Wei Zhi with a pair of watery eyes, but the coquettishness in her eyes was even more pronounced. "Okay, Xia Xia is not a little rabbit. How about Sister being the little rabbit?" Song Wei Zhi quickly reassured her. Song Zhi Xia nodded in satisfaction. "This hairpin is a storage hairpin. You can put anything you want inside it. Let me help you put it on." Song Wei Zhi got up and inserted the rabbit hairpin into Song Zhi Xia's hairdo. Song Zhi Xia felt a bit embarrassed. This was the first time she had received a gift on her birthday, and it was from her sister. She swore to protect the rabbit hairpin that her sister gave her. "Thank you, Sister. I'm very happy today. I've never been so happy before," she said earnestly, gazing into Song Wei Zhi's eyes with her watery gaze, making Song Wei Zhi a little stunned. When she finally recovered, Song Wei Zhi wanted to tease her little sister, so she said, "Okay, now that sister's gift is given, what birthday gift will Xia Xia give Sister? After all, our birthdays are on the same day." Song Zhi Xia was taken aback by the question. She hadn't prepared a birthday gift for her sister at all! She had spent the whole afternoon thinking about their relationship, and when her sister came back in the evening, she just hugged her and cried. She had not prepared anything for her sister. Song Zhi Xia hurriedly explained, "Sister, I'm sorry. I, I didn't prepare anything. I, I was just crying all day." Seeing her little sister on the brink of tears, Song Wei Zhi quickly comforted her, "It's okay. Sister isn't blaming you. And besides, why would I need a gift when Xia Xia is here?" Song Zhi Xia didn't understand Song Wei Zhi's meaning. After all, she had received many things from her sister. What gift did she have for her sister? Seeing her little sister's confusion, Song Wei Zhi teased her, "Doesn't Xia Xia know? You can give your senior sister a kiss as a birthday gift." Song Wei Zhi thought that it wouldn't be a big deal for two girls to exchange a kiss. Besides, she just wanted to tease her little sister. She didn't think her little sister would actually do it. Song Zhi Xia widened her eyes and couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her sister wanted her to kiss her? How could a girl say such a thing? Wasn't that what the rascals in the village would say to tease the girls? But looking at her sister's expression, it didn't seem like a joke. And her sister wasn't a rascal. Her sister had always been good to her. She just wanted her to give her a kiss. If she didn't, her sister would be upset. Song Zhi Xia looked at Song Wei Zhi's fair cheek, and she felt the urge to kiss her, but she quickly shook her head. How could she have such thoughts about her sister? But if she didn't kiss her, her sister would be upset. Song Zhi Xia mentally prepared herself. She furrowed her eyebrows and relaxed them, then straightened them again. After a while, she lifted her head to look at Song Wei Zhi. Song Wei Zhi expected her sister to be shy, and she was about to tease her. "Xia Xia, how could you be…" But before she finished her sentence, she felt something soft against her right cheek. Had her little sister really kissed her? When she looked, there was no one in front of her. Song Zhi Xia had already buried herself under the blanket out of shyness. Song Wei Zhi found her little sister's actions amusing. Had she just been kissed and then her little sister got shy? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Nonetheless, she found her little sister's lips soft and comforting. After all, they were both straight girls, so Song Wei Zhi didn't mind. She walked to the bed to tease her little sister. She gently pushed the blanket covering the person inside. "Xia Xia, why are you being shy? Sister is willingly letting her little Xia Xia kiss her." "Sob, sob, sob. Sister, please go back to your room. I—I don't want to come out," Song Zhi Xia sobbed, feeling like she wanted the ground to swallow her up. Her sister was saying such strange things, and she wanted to hide from the world. But Song Wei Zhi wasn't about to let her go. "Is Xia Xia this heartless? You don't want to see Sister after kissing her?" "But, Sister, I—I'm sobbing, please go back to your room. I'll apologize to Sister in the morning," she said as she tightly grasped the blanket, afraid of emerging from underneath. Song Wei Zhi finally relented. Not only had she made her little sister smile, but she also earned herself a kiss. It was a win-win situation. "Alright, then Sister will go back to her room, and Xia Xia, come out. It's not good to suffocate yourself under the blanket. Be good and rest early," she said, sounding like a mother, before heading back to her room. After hearing the sound of the door closing, Song Zhi Xia finally relaxed. She quietly lifted the blanket and then lay on the bed, breathing heavily. As she thought about her actions, Song Zhi Xia blushed and rolled back and forth on the bed. She couldn't believe she had had the courage to kiss her sister. Even now, there seemed to be a fire burning in her core. But her sister's face was smooth, and she found herself liking it. Song Zhi Xia shook her head to dispel these confusing thoughts. Perhaps it was because she had never had a close relationship with a sister growing up, which made her dependent on her sister now. Maybe sisters in ordinary families would act this way with each other? She must be too sensitive. Sisters with good relationships must also interact like this! It took Song Zhi Xia a while to calm herself down, lying on the bed and comforting herself. She touched the rabbit hairpin on her head, the birthday gift her sister had given her. She cradled the hairpin carefully, with the cute little rabbit on the top looking at her. Song Zhi Xia also smiled sweetly at the little rabbit. After the ups and downs of the night, she could finally set her heart at ease. Her sister had said that her feelings were the most important now, and she wouldn't have to consider having a Dao companion. Thinking about this, Song Zhi Xia laughed with joy in bed. Since she came to her sister's side, it seemed like she had started smiling more. She wasn't the shy, quiet Song Zhi Xia from the village who only knew to work hard anymore. She held the hairpin tightly in her hand, as if she was holding her entire being.
