Chapter 403: I Demand a One-on-One Match
Snap~
Jiang Kekai and Xia Yu, refreshed from their bath, walked comfortably out of the bathroom. Jiang Kekai, never one to waste time, turned her gaze immediately towards her little sister: “Go take a bath first, then come to my room to face your punishment later.”
“Big sis, can’t we just skip this?”
Jiang Hanhang looked pitifully at her sister while clinging onto Xia Ling, still trying to wriggle out of it. She knew full well that this tactic didn’t really work on Jiang Kekai anymore. As expected, facing such an adorable Jiang Hanhang, Jiang Kekai rolled her eyes: “No amount of cuteness will change my mind; get yourself cleaned up and report to my room for punishment.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Hanhang pouted and hugged Xia Ling again: “Xiao Ling, my sister and your sister want to bully me. What are you planning to do?” Xia Ling was thoroughly exasperated with this drama queen; why couldn’t she just shut up once in a while?
But feeling generous due to Jiang Hanhang’s prior confession, Xia Ling chose to pet her head in a conciliatory gesture: “It’s fine, next time I’ll come with you.” “Good.”
The two young girls showed off their affection again, but neither Xia Yu nor Jiang Kekai were impressed; Xia Yu, in fact, found it unbearable: “You two need to have some restraint. Don’t overdo it or I won’t feel bad if you break anything.”
“Don’t worry, sis. Leave this to us.”
Jiang Hanhang reverted to her usual mischievous smile, completely forgetting about her previous sadness. It was no wonder both Xia Ling and Jiang Kekai felt a bit exasperated with such a dramatic Jiang Hanhang.
Not wanting Xia Yu to catch a cold, Jiang Kekai decided not to waste any more words with Jiang Hanhang. She promptly grabbed Xia Yu and led her back to their room…
Since waiting for Jiang Hanhang to face her punishment, Jiang Kekai didn’t push Xia Yu to continue her fluids and instead allowed her to casually scroll through her phone on the bed. Jiang Kekai admitted to herself that seeing Xia Yu so healthy and energetic was quite pleasurable.
Soon, Jiang Hanhang and Xia Ling came into the room all cleaned up after their baths.
Seeing the glum expression on Jiang Hanhang’s face, Xia Yu felt a hint of excitement. In her mind, this was her chance for revenge. She recalled how Jiang Hanhang had pinned her down and beaten her up earlier, and it infuriated her.
“Sis, could you go a little easier on me?”
Even now, Jiang Hanhang tried to negotiate. She couldn’t believe that her respected elder sister would demand such a thing—how humiliating.
However, Jiang Kekai wasn’t having it. She nodded towards Xia Yu on the bed: “Talk to Xiao Yu directly. It’s meaningless to talk to me. Who made you bully her?”
“You’ve got to let her beat you back.”
Clearly, Jiang Hanhang was extremely unhappy with this punishment but had no good way to avoid it. She resigned herself and walked towards the large bed.
Xia Yu, who was already eagerly rubbing her hands, teased, “Come on, you used to be stronger! Why so timid now?” “Acting low for a tiger.”
“Little Ning big sister, Hanhang said something bad about you.” Jiang Kekai: “…”
Xia Ling: “…”
Jiang Hanhang: “…”
Without warning, Jiang Hanhang suddenly lunged at Xia Yu: “I’ll fight you!” At the same time, Xia Ling stood beside Jiang Kekai, preventing her from helping.
True to form, they decided to resist rather than submit quietly. After all, isn’t it every girl’s duty to rebel?
Xia Yu was caught off guard and instantly pinned down again by Jiang Hanhang. And since she was just recovering from illness, she lacked the energy to resist.
Jiang Hanhang managed to put Xia Yu in her place easily…
By the side, Jiang Kekai effortlessly restrained Xia Ling, needing both hands to hold her down, otherwise, Xia Ling might have broken free. Jiang Kekai still did not have a hand free to help Xia Yu.
“What a row!”
Sighing in frustration, Jiang Kekai embraced Xia Ling and threw her onto the bed, right where Xia Yu and Jiang Hanhang were fighting. This move nullified Jiang Hanhang’s advantage.
At this moment, all three girls’ heads were spinning. Just a little roughhousing, really? Was this necessary?
Before they could gather their thoughts, Jiang Kekai dragged Jiang Hanhang and made her sit on her lap: “Alright Xiao Yu, now should be able to fight fair, right?”
Jiang Hanhang: “…”
Xia Yu now lay under Xia Ling’s control, and Xia Ling was much stronger than Jiang Hanhang. Xia Yu was still firmly pinned down. “Sorry, sister, for my sake, you’re going to have to endure some pain. I won’t stop unless you stop complaining.”
Xia Yu: “…”
Such a scheme, even Jiang Kekai found surprising. She realized these two had willingly come to a tragic end, perhaps having planned this all along. Xia Yu couldn’t defeat anyone, after all.
Though Xia Yu struggled and refused to submit, she was helpless against Xia Ling’s strength. It seemed she had suffered considerable damage when she previously transformed into a girl—she hadn’t fully recovered despite a year.
Seeing no use in talking further, Xia Ling shifted her eyes to Jiang Kekai: “So, shall we continue punishing Hanhang, or should I be tough on your future wife?”
“Xiao Yu is your sister, can you stand by and watch?” “Hanhang is your sister too, can you stand by and watch?”
Xia Ling countered Jiang Kekai almost word-for-word, making this whole situation awkward. Both sisters were now bullying each other’s younger sisters. Jiang Kekai looked at Xia Yu, clearly passing the decision-making baton to her. Who else could she trust when Xia Yu couldn’t handle it herself?
Persistently staying deadlock was not a solution. Xia Yu thought for a moment, then reluctantly declared, “I want a one-on-one match with Hanhang!”
Gasps—
All three girls stared in shock. Where did Xia Yu find such boldness?
Delighted beyond belief, Jiang Hanhang had expected her demise, but Xia Yu’s foolishness gave her a second chance. “Just to be clear, if I win, we wipe the slate clean.”
“Alright.”
Xia Ling and Jiang Kekai exchanged looks and released their sisters.
Given Xia Yu’s demands, the helpers naturally respected her choice. And besides, they all hoped their sisters would lose in this fight. To prevent injury, Xia Ling stepped away from the bed, leaving the space for Xia Yu and Jiang Hanhang: “Take it easy, don’t fall off the bed.”
“Relax.”
Jiang Hanhang gave Xia Ling a thumbs-up.
