Chapter 647 - 204: Dear Sister TV
"Why isn’t my brother back yet..."
Keke complained while leaning against the window, "It’s already so late. Could it be that Teacher Zi Yuan took him off to do something dangerous again?"
At this moment, the celebration at the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau’s private room was still ongoing.
The old director heard that Keke clinched the championship, and he was so happy that he personally spent money for them, letting the girls celebrate thoroughly.
So Susan directly reserved the hotel, spending as much as she could without a care.
Not only people from the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau were celebrating, but some competitors who had participated in the previous competition also came over to celebrate.
By the time it was late into the night, Keke felt a bit tired and went out alone to get some fresh air.
"Hmph, brothers and sisters are just like that."
She was just talking to herself, but then turned her head and saw that the Panda Girl had somehow slipped out, pouring a drink directly into her panda head—even now, she hadn’t taken off her panda headgear.
"Isn’t it troublesome for you to eat and drink like that?"
"It’s alright, you get used to it."
Panda Girl leaned beside her, gazing outside, "Brothers and sisters can really be a headache, don’t you think, Keke?"
"Hmm, is your sister troublesome?"
"Super troublesome!"
Panda Girl muttered, shaking her panda head with some languor, "Sometimes when I want her to play with me, she outright ignores me, then when she’s actually around, she insists on holding me while sleeping, treating me like a pillow. I’m almost strangled to death every night."
"... Isn’t that rather nice."
"Nice? In what way."
Keke pouted, "If it were my brother, and I wanted to sleep together, he’d kick me out of bed and make me sleep on the floor."
The panda head paused, then nodded, "Oh, then I guess my sister isn’t so bad after all..."
Realizing it seemed a bit wrong, she had come to complain about her sister, but ended up praising her instead.
She indignantly continued, "And... we agreed to eat together, but she eats by herself, then brings leftover food back for me to warm up and eat. Always letting me eat leftovers!"
"My brother would throw cold food at me and let me heat it up myself," Keke thought about it, "Most of the time, he’d just give me money and let me buy my own food."
"... And before, my sister would hum songs to lull me to sleep, but later she’d just use a tape recorder to play lullabies, which were so noisy I couldn’t even fall asleep!"
"My brother would just knock me out to make me sleep."
"..."
"..."
"Is he your real brother?"
"Absolutely real, truly genuine," Keke sighed, "Are you bragging about your sister?"
"No, no."
Panda Girl, sounding apologetic, said "I’m sorry, I didn’t know things were this way with your family..."
"It’s nothing, most of the time we get along quite well. Plus, my brother is busy with a lot of stuff every day, so it’s rare to get to play together."
"Yeah, it’s similar here, sometimes when she’s tired, she’ll ask me to play alone, saying I’m too much trouble."
"Exactly, that’s how it is," Keke resonated, "Always acting like adults, thinking I don’t understand anything, reluctant to share anything with me, humph."
"Ah, yes, actually, I know deep down what she’s doing, that she cares about me, I do know." The Panda Girl said gloomily, "But she always pretends not to care, so frustrating, making me guess everything."
"Uh." Keke reflected, "I think it’s better this way."
Panda Girl tilted her head, "Huh? Why?"
"Because when I imagine my brother being really enthusiastic or particularly gentle in caring for me," Keke suddenly felt a shiver, "I find it so gross..."
Panda Girl immediately laughed, "Haha, what’s going on with you, finding your brother’s affection gross—if he really was gentle to you, you’d probably be happy."
"Maybe..."
Just as Keke was about to affirm, she remembered the fake brother she encountered when she was captured by the captain.
Tossed aside by her own kick.
"No way."
"Huh?"
"It’s just disgusting either way."
Panda Girl scratched her head, "Okay, but why’s that?"
Keke seemed troubled, turning her head, "It’s just a matter of habit? If my brother had been that gentle from the start, maybe I’d have been used to it, but he was always like that growing up, even if distant, he’d still watch over me—that’s what my brother is like to me. Suddenly becoming gentle and enthusiastic, I’d find him unfamiliar, and it grosses me out..."
"That’s true."
Panda Girl murmured, looking at the night sky, "Thinking about it, it’s the same for me, my sister is always like that. If one day she suddenly says she loves me or something really cheesy, it would probably gross me out too."
"That’s how siblings are."
Keke patted her panda head.
Then she wondered how such a small head could have its face hidden, tried pinching the headgear constantly but couldn’t reach the face inside, "Everyone has their own way of getting along, no need to forcibly change it or envy others—who knows if it’s good or bad eventually."
Just like Yiyi.
Initially, Keke envied their sisterly relationship, but in the end, it seems their relationship was not necessarily better than hers with her own brother.
Even if there’s a cold war or they argue, for both her brother and her, they regarded each other as family in the end.
They never thought about harming each other.
Sometimes, relationships that seem good might hide a lot of hatred and resentment behind the scenes.
So now, Keke is very satisfied with the way she gets along with her brother.
"Yes, I never thought about changing it either, because I know my sister surely has her reasons and has put in more effort and endured more than I imagined. I just hope our relationship becomes better, more intimate..."
