2: Chapter 2: The Strange Tale of Stealing Me - I Retaliate by Reporting My Sister for Failing Her Exam

Pushing open the front door, the aroma of scallion and ginger frying in a pan, along with warm yellow light, flooded out to greet me.

Su Yun changed his shoes and glanced toward the living room.

His father, Su Jianguo, was sprawled out in the sofa with a dominant posture, turning that thermos cup with almost all its paint chipped off in his hands. His gaze was fixed on the international news on the TV, looking every bit like a middle-aged corporate slave whose edges had been smoothed away by life.

"You're back?" Old Su didn't even lift his eyelids. "Did you finish your homework?"

"Not yet." Su Yun replied obediently.

"Then hurry up and get to it, don't loiter in the living room."

Su Jianguo waved his hand, took a sip from his thermos, and continued to worry anxiously about the international situation.

Acting.

Keep acting.

In his heart, Su Yun issued his father a "Best Actor" award.

Within the perception of the Lord of Blind Idiot God, the world was not like this at all.

That thing curled up in the sofa was no middle-aged corporate slave; it was clearly a prehistoric Vicious Beast feigning sleep.

"Xiao Yun, wash your hands and come eat!"

The voice of his mother, Lin Wanqing, drifted out from the kitchen.

Su Yun looked over, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

His mother was carrying sweet and sour pork ribs as she walked out, and between the strands of hair on her head, several nearly invisible transparent threads were slithering like tentacles, monitoring the entire kitchen.

Some kind of high-level sensory Psionic technique?

Or some other mysterious power? A forbidden object or a sequence weapon?

The coverage radius was at least fifty meters.

Using a skill of this level to precisely monitor oil temperature and salt intake...

Mom, isn't that a bit extravagant?

Su Yao followed in behind Su Yun, her face still pale.

Lin Wanqing's gaze fell upon her daughter, and her gentle smile stiffened imperceptibly for a fleeting moment.

She saw it.

That black shadow, clinging to her daughter's spine like a giant leech, had dozens of eyes spinning greedily.

B-Level Weird Tale, Endless Nightmare.

It specialized in parasitizing powerful Psionic Users, feeding on the host's Psionic energy and life force.

It especially loved Psionic Martial Artists like Su Yao, followed by the Awakened.

Both Psionic Martial Artists and the Awakened belonged to the category of Psionic Users.

A trace of coldness flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes, but the next second she returned to the appearance of a virtuous wife and loving mother, smiling as she took the bag from Su Yao's hand.

"You've worked hard today, Yao Yao. Mom specially made your favorite dish."

"Mm."

"Sis—!"

A long, coquettish cry came from the stairwell.

Su Yun looked up to see a girl with twin tails running down, her cartoon slippers making a "tap-tap-tap" sound.

Su Qing, his younger sister, was fifteen this year, currently in her third year of junior high, a stage where she was interested in everything except studying.

It seemed she had just woken up; her pajamas were loose and baggy.

But Su Yun narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling to the floor.

The edges of this girl's shadow were all sharp and jagged, like a pile of blades stacked together.

Moreover, although she ran fast, her landings were as light as a cat's, with almost no vibration.

Su Yun fell silent.

Good grief, is everyone here a villain?

So, out of the six people in this family, I was the only true piece of trash for the first seventeen years?

That would be one thing, but the key is that everyone is acting in front of each other.

The older sister is an investigator, Mom is a housewife, Dad is a corporate employee, the younger sister is a junior high student...

One simply cannot tell what faction they belong to.

Could the older brother who is doing business out of town be the head of some transnational criminal syndicate?

"Sis, why are you back so late today?"

Su Qing leaned in close, her nose twitching. "Did you have to work overtime again?"

"No, I went to pick up Xiao Yun."

"Oh~" Su Qing drawled, her gaze sweeping across Su Yao's back as if unintentionally.

She saw that nightmare.

The girl's eyes instantly turned cold, but it was fleeting, and she returned to that innocent and naive appearance.

"Sis, can I sleep with you tonight?" Su Qing hugged Su Yao's arm and acted spoiled. "I have so much gossip to tell you!"

Su Yao was stunned: "Tonight?"

"Yeah! And to supervise you to make sure you don't secretly eat snacks and get fat."

Su Qing blinked her big eyes, but inside she was calculating how to cut that dirty thing off.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow.

He could see it.

This little girl, does she really want to sleep with her sister?

She wants to steal the monster!

That nightmare is the ration I've set my sights on; if it gets chopped to pieces by this girl, how am I supposed to eat it?

"No."

Su Yao refused subconsciously, then glanced at Su Yun beside her.

"Xiao Yun is sleeping with me tonight."

The scene went quiet for two seconds.

Su Qing's eyes widened, and she pointed at Su Yun, her voice rising an octave: "Huh? Sis, are you okay? He's already seventeen! A male dog is considered elderly at seventeen, and he still wants to sleep with his sister?!"

Su Yun: "..."

Life felt meaningless.

Having a foul mouth was the most insignificant of his sister's flaws.

"Do you have some kind of brother complex? And you, Su Yun!"

Su Qing turned her fire again. "Are you a giant baby? Have you been weaned yet? If word gets out, do you still want to find a girlfriend in the future? Oh wait, a mama's boy plus a sister complex—not even a dog would date you!"

"Xiao Qing, don't talk nonsense." Su Yao had a bit of a headache. "Xiao Yun got a bit of a scare today..."

"Scared? I think he's faking it!"

Su Qing was huffing and puffing, and it looked like she was about to reach out and pull him.

"I'm telling the truth! If you two keep going like this, you'll end up in the social news sooner or later! 'Shocking! Seventeen-year-old high school student actually sleeps in the same bed as his sister'—just thinking about it is exciting."

Su Yun listened with an expressionless face, though internally he almost wanted to laugh.

Act, keep acting.

You clearly want to rush to help your sister, but you insist on putting it so harshly.

And you have to attack me too.

This tsundere trait is truly one of a kind.

However...

Since you want to steal it, I can't lose either.

Su Yun was silent for two seconds, then suddenly sighed.

He planned to retreat in order to advance.

"Forget it, Sis, let Xiao Qing sleep with you."

He put on a sensible expression. "After encountering such things today, without sister's care at night, I'll just have nightmares. I'll be fine alone, really."

Su Qing: "..."

Damn green tea!

I really want to beat you to death, you whining crybaby!

The look in Su Yao's eyes when she looked at Su Yun changed.

Her protective instinct was fully maxed out.

She was just about to finalize this topic.

Su Yun added.

"It's mainly because Xiao Qing has been under a lot of academic pressure lately; she only got 63 points in math, on a test with a maximum score of 120..."

The atmosphere in the living room instantly froze.

Su Qing's smile froze on her face.

"You... how do you know that?!"

The girl's voice rose three degrees, and her face flushed red at a visible speed.

"The teacher sent it to the parent group." Su Yun didn't change his expression. "I saw it on Mom's phone screen."

Lin Wanqing's hand holding the plate paused, and she smiled gently: "Is that so? Mom hasn't had a chance to look yet."

But that smile, no matter how you looked at it, exuded a chill.

Su Qing's complexion went from red to white, then from white to green.

63 points.

This score in the Su family was no longer just a matter of losing face.

This was a direct loss of human rights.

"I, I that was... that test paper was especially difficult! The class average was only 70!"

Su Qing tried to struggle.

"Oh?" Lin Wanqing put down the plate, still smiling. "Then you are 7 points below the average, shouldn't you reflect on that properly?"

"I..."

"Don't sleep tonight."

Su Jianguo finally put down his thermos, his tone terrifyingly calm. "Redo all the math test papers from this semester; you can sleep once you're done."

"Dad!"

"Do them twice."

Su Qing: "..."

She stiffly turned her head, staring daggers at Su Yun.

That look, she wished she could swallow him alive.

Su Yun gave her an innocent, harmless smile.

Steal my monster?

Pass your math exam first.

"Alright, stop making a fuss, let's eat."

Lin Wanqing clapped her hands.

The family sat around the dining table.

Su Qing was still muttering: "A seventeen-year-old big boy... shameless... sister-complex freak... bleh bleh bleh..."

Su Yun picked up a piece of pork rib with an expressionless face.

Curse away, curse all you want.

Anyway, I'm eating this nightmare tonight; not even Jesus can save it, I said so.

"Xiao Qing, can't the food plug your mouth?"

Lin Wanqing glanced at her younger daughter, then looked at Su Yao, her tone switching back to a gentle mode, yet carrying an unquestionable firmness:

"Yao Yao, sleep with Mom tonight."
