This Is How a Siscon Is

"Big sister, maybe we should just fight it out. Whoever wins gets Brother Gu Luo. That way we can settle his ownership sooner rather than later and avoid complications."

In the elegant dining room, Luo Shuning nearly choked on her steak upon hearing her younger sister's outrageous suggestion. After swallowing carefully, she responded with an exasperated smile:

"You... Brother isn't some object to be fought over and claimed like property."

"Besides, you wouldn't stand a chance against me."

To emphasize her point, she flexed her slender arm through the air in a mock punch.

"In that case, why don't you just beat me up and monopolize Brother then?" Luo Shuhe replied impassively, taking a delicate sip of water with refined yet cool composure before asking flatly:

"Or is it that sister can't bear to hit me?"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a sharp knuckle rapped firmly against her forehead.

Rubbing the sore spot with a pout, she muttered:

"Sister, I'm not Shuling."

"I'll say it again - Brother is not property," Luo Shuning reiterated sternly, though her expression softened into an affectionate smile. "And I absolutely can bear to hit you."

"Sister really would abandon her own sibling for Brother."

"As if you're not competing with me over him."

The two continued their steak dinner while bickering about Gu Luo - indeed, it seemed they couldn't go three sentences without mentioning him.

"Not as good as Brother's cooking. Not even close," Luo Shuning remarked as they neared the end of the meal.

"Agreed."

For once, Luo Shuhe found herself aligned with her sister regarding Gu Luo.

"Shuhe."

"Hmm?"

Luo Shuning suddenly grew serious. Setting down her utensils and dabbing her lips with a napkin, she fixed her sister with a direct gaze:

"If he ultimately chooses me, what will you do?"

"Be the other woman."

Luo Shuhe answered without hesitation, her tone as casual as if discussing the weather.

"......"

The response made Luo Shuning pinch the bridge of her nose, her expression caught between amusement and exasperation. "I'm being serious."

"So am I," Luo Shuhe maintained her deadpan delivery.

"You..."

Luo Shuning's smile froze before she shook her head with a sigh. "Once we're together, no matter what you do, he won't respond to you. Any opportunity you think exists now is only because we haven't officially committed yet. That's all."

"How confident sister is."

Luo Shuhe tilted her head slightly, the comment loaded with implication - whether about Luo Shuning's certainty in winning Gu Luo, or her belief that he could resist temptation afterward.

"Naturally. I have complete faith in Brother."

Changing tactics, Luo Shuning added brightly: "Actually, we should trio queue together from now on. I'll take responsibility for carrying Brother in games."

"It's much easier than playing piano anyway."

She intended to compete fairly, determined to surpass Luo Shuhe in gaming through sheer skill.

"Sister truly is a genius, excelling effortlessly at everything." Luo Shuhe nodded approvingly while pulling out her phone. She opened a chat window labeled [Big Liar (Pig Head)] and typed:

[Luo Shuhe: Come to my room at midnight.]

[Gu Luo: What for...]

[Luo Shuhe: Need to ask you something. Also I want to kiss.]

[Gu Luo: ??? You're not even pretending anymore?]

[Luo Shuhe: I want to kiss. Also need to ask you something.]

[Gu Luo: ???]

[Luo Shuhe: Be cooperative. Don't make me come find you.]

Meanwhile, Luo Shuning declared with supreme confidence: "Shuhe, whether it's gaming or anything else, I won't lose to you."

Putting her phone away, Luo Shuhe crossed her long legs and nodded placidly:

"Mmm, sister is the best at everything."
