Qin Xin hadn't walked far and turned back just in time to see Bai Ningning's actions and hear her murmurs.
"Are you… trying to comfort her?" Qin Xin tugged at the corner of her mouth, "She can't hear you, right?"
"She's asleep. Maybe she can hear it in her dreams," Bai Ningning said casually. "If not, at least she can have a good dream."
Qin Xin thought for a moment, her expression changing slightly: "So, what you just said was to adjust your sister's mindset?"
What's going on? Did her mindset collapse?
"No, no," Bai Ningning quickly denied, "I was just saying a few words casually."
If sleeping could cause someone's mindset to collapse, who would dare to sleep with her in the future?
Qin Xin tightened her pretty face, noncommittal.
She actually hoped her sister's mindset would collapse, directly sending her to the bench. Then as a substitute, Qin Xin would have a chance.
Unfortunately, the likelihood was low.
When they got to the living room to eat, Bai Ningning was in good spirits, holding her bowl and eating steadily.
Qin Xin tentatively asked, "Ningning, after sleeping the whole afternoon, aren't you tired?"
It sounds strange to say that sleeping makes one tired, but in the Qin family, it's quite normal.
Bai Ningning was taken aback: "Tired?"
Tired is the right answer; comfort is reserved for President Qin.
"Actually, I'm not tired," Bai Ningning thought for a moment and said, "Or rather, only my hands are tired."
Qin Xin was also stunned.
"Of course, only my hands are tired, Qin Xin," she chuckled lightly, "Only my hands were moving all afternoon."
If her body didn't move, why would she be tired?
Qin Xin couldn't find the words for a long time, hesitating for a while before saying, "But no matter the position, it would still put a strain on the body, especially for an entire afternoon."
Whether lying down, sitting, or leaning over, even if you're lying on top of your sister with a soft cushion, an entire afternoon would be enough to make anyone tired.
"It's fine, I really am not tired," Bai Ningning said casually, "For me, it's quite an easy thing."
Qin Xin's hand trembled, almost dropping her chopsticks.
The reason she had been feeling uneasy all day was the worry that Bai Ningning would enjoy the proactive approach, and then she would have to take on the offensive role. Qin Xin wasn't unwilling; it was just that with Ningning's displayed combat power, having her go on the offensive would be a bit hard for her to handle.
"Ningning, how do you feel today?" Qin Xin asked tentatively, "Will it all be like this in the future?"
"Of course not; Yueyue said it's just today," Bai Ningning said while eating, "And I think it's more comfortable to lie down myself."
Why force a team fight when you can wait for the opponent to come at you after gathering the Water Dragon Soul?
"I see." Qin Xin quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, it does feel quite good; if there's a chance in the future, I can try this again," Bai Ningning said leisurely, "Changing things up is nice."
To be honest, the experience from this afternoon was truly wonderful for Bai Ningning.
A beautiful figure with a commanding presence, that big sister was really nice.
"Mm," Qin Xin nodded.
"Indeed."
There are opportunities to play like this, and you can even switch positions during the game. One battle is equivalent to two fights, double the experience, double the joy.
After dinner, it was almost dark, and the rhythm was to wash up and go to bed.
At this moment, Qin Xin suddenly remembered something: "Ningning, I have a question for you."
"Mm?"
Qin Xin glanced towards the corridor and said tactfully, "What level is my sister at?"
This question left Bai Ningning speechless.
"Your sister, um, has good talent and decent strength," she continued with that phrasing, "There's a lot of room for improvement."
Qin Xin rolled her eyes: "Sorry, I wasn't clear. Let me rephrase... When will she be able to get up?"
Still too indirect.
"About that..."
Bai Ningning bit her chopsticks and thought carefully.
"Based on past experience, Yueyue usually needs to lie down for two days, or a day and a half. But this time she was lying down and didn't exert much effort, so she should be able to recover faster."
Qin Xin also thought this analysis made sense.
"So, does that mean she can get up tomorrow morning?"
"She should be able to."
"That's good, then. No problem, Ningning, you should get some rest too."
As long as she can get up in the morning and handle the few interns coming to visit, that's all that matters. As for what state she would be in after getting up, that's not Qin Xin's concern.
After dinner, the two girls greeted each other and went to the bathroom to shower, then returned to their rooms to sleep.
Bai Ningning went back to the bedroom to accompany the sleeping Qin Yue, continuing to fulfill her duties as a secretary.
Qin Xin also returned to her bedroom, keeping... keeping herself company while sleeping alone. That said, she didn't feel too bad; in fact, she felt a bit of anticipation.
She thought that her sister had suffered a great humiliation this time, and if her mindset didn't break and she didn't apply for a substitute, she would definitely want to regain her pride. At that time, Ningning might get hurt.
With these pleasant thoughts, the family each entered their dreams.
Zzzz
Autumn mornings come later than summer, but if you wait, you can still catch the sun rising.
However, Bai Ningning did not wait for Qin Yue to wake up.
Waking up in the morning, rubbing her eyes, and putting on her pajamas, Bai Ningning found that the person next to her was still fast asleep.
Qin Yue had gone to bed several hours earlier than Bai Ningning, and there were still no signs of her waking up. Bai Ningning moved a little closer and noticed that her big sister's condition was a bit off.
Getting even closer, she listened carefully.
Hmm, hmm.
Bai Ningning frowned.
That familiar sound, if it wasn't because of the principle of couples resembling each other, or if she had been assimilated by Bai Ningning after sleeping for so long, there could only be one possibility.
She gently lifted the blanket to take a look inside.
Sure enough, she was injured.
But fortunately, it wasn't serious; it was a normal situation. Bai Ningning felt no panic at all; she had experienced this kind of injury twice herself.
Just need to apply some medicine.
Now, let's go find the medicine.
Just as Bai Ningning was about to get up, she suddenly remembered something. Imitating her big sister's previous actions, she leaned down and kissed Qin Yue on the cheek.
"Sleep well, I'll be back to apply medicine for you, mua."
......
Ding dong, ding dong.
Early in the morning, the doorbell of Shuiyue Tingyuan rang. Soon, Aunt Zou returned with three people.
Su Le and her two friends were children from a family of old acquaintances, so Aunt Zou recognized them to some extent, and Qin Xin had also informed her in advance.
The four of them walked into the living room and found Qin Xin sitting alone at the dining table having breakfast.
"Second Miss, your three friends have arrived," Aunt Zou said.
Qin Xin frowned: "Have a seat."
As soon as Su Le sat down, she couldn't wait to ask: "Qin Xin, why are you the only one having breakfast? Where's Sister Qin Yue?"
The others also looked over.
Yeah, where is Sister Qin Yue?
