I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Suddenly, a pulling force came from the blind spot on her right, pulling her around the waist, and she fell outwards, landing in a warm and soft embrace.

"Qianxue".

"Eeeh—!!!"

Ye Qianxue let out a mournful cry. After sensing the familiar scent, her smile, which had just appeared on her face, was quickly suppressed, and she put on an angry face.

Super fierce!

Yan Ziming was dizzy and disoriented by his younger sister's sudden change in expression from fierce to cute. He pinched Ye Qianxue's chubby cheeks with both hands and rubbed them as if he were loving a cute little animal.

"Ugh... Big sister, you... why aren't you wearing any clothes!"

Just as Ye Qianxue was about to protest to her older sister, she turned her head and saw a blinding white expanse that almost dazzled her. She wanted to look but dared not.

"Ah... this? We almost took it too far just now, don't look!"

Yan Ziming scratched her cheek and noticed that Ye Qianxue's breathing was getting heavier. Sensing something was wrong, she pressed her down between her two full breasts.

The person in his arms struggled for a moment, but within seconds succumbed to the endless tenderness, flailing their arms and legs aimlessly before falling silent.

Only then did Yan Ziming release his arms from Ye Qianxue's tight embrace. Ye Qianxue's head was immediately thrown out by the huge elastic force, and she was dizzy. Yan Ziming helped her to the sofa.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Ziming dressed and sat down opposite Ye Qianxue, staring at her blankly with endless tenderness in his eyes, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Looking at Yan Ziming at this moment, Ye Qianxue, despite feeling wronged, began to feel restless. She could no longer maintain her angry demeanor. She awkwardly put her knees together, placed her hands on them, sat upright, lowered her head, and stared intently at her toes.

Yan Ziming leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Ye Qianxue. But this one action made her tremble like a frightened little animal, thinking that her older sister was going to punish her.

"Ugh...?"

Feeling a comfortable touch on her cheek, Ye Qianxue slightly raised her head and opened one eye to observe her older sister's actions.

"Qianxue".

"exist!"

Ye Qianxue sat up abruptly and shouted loudly involuntarily.

Yan Ziming was taken aback by her sudden action, and his smile became even gentler: "I'm sorry."

"..." Ye Qianxue pressed her cherry lips together, her body trembling slightly.

For some reason, even though she heard the words she most wanted to hear, she couldn't feel happy at all; instead, she felt a little sad.

As if she had made up her mind, Ye Qianxue stopped looking around and finally met Yan Ziming's eyes. Countless emotions were brewing within them, and she gently opened her lips:

"Big sister, Qianxue..."

"But Qianxue, you're also at fault. Who told you to be disobedient? You can't do things right, you're lazy and can't stand being criticized, and you always make me worry unnecessarily..."

Yan Ziming silenced Ye Qianxue before she could finish speaking, and harsh words slowly escaped her lips. Mu Mu, who was watching from the shadows, couldn't help but facepalm, too ashamed to watch any longer.

[Little Mo Mo, Little Mo Mo... Didn't you see your good disciple is about to give in?! Saying that now, is it because you think your good disciple hasn't made enough of a fuss or what?! Ah, I can't watch anymore, it's giving me a stomachache...]

Mu Mu cursed Yan Zimo in her heart, and Ye Qianxue's reaction was exactly what Mu Mu had expected.

Just as Ye Qianxue was about to express her feelings, her expression changed instantly. The resentment that had not been completely eliminated surged into her heart again. She crossed her arms, puffed out her cheeks, and turned her head away to sulk.

"Hmph! It's clearly my older sister's fault! Chiyuki did nothing wrong!"

"..." Realizing that he had spoken out of turn because of his bluntness, Yan Ziming just wanted to slap himself.

"Qianxue, let me explain..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen—" Ye Qianxue covered her ears.

[What the hell are you going to do?! Keep listening, you idiot!]

Yan Ziming roared inwardly, but his tone was incredibly soft: "Ahem, it was my fault, Qianxue, please forgive me, okay?"

"Humph!"

Ye Qianxue turned her head to the other side again. Seeing this, Yan Ziming's tone became a bit firmer: "Listen to me!"

"Waaah..." Tears welled up in the eyes of the cute and adorable little sister.

"Qianxue, what do you want me to do to forgive me?" Yan Ziming's attitude softened considerably as he asked softly.

“Return…the…words…”

"What?" Ye Qianxue's voice was almost inaudible, and Yan Ziming subconsciously asked a follow-up question.

"Retract the preface..."

"........"

It was too much to go against her conscience, and Yan Ziming felt she couldn't do it for a moment. She had a premonition that if she said it, her younger sister would become even more unruly in the future!

One can imagine that Ye Qianxue will be reckless in everything she does. If it's a small matter, that's fine, but if it's a matter of reputation or life, Yan Ziming can already picture the consequences in his mind.

Therefore, Yan Zimo clearly stated, "I can't do it!"

"Why—!!!" Ye Qianxue immediately shouted. If things had gone according to plan, her older sister should have agreed to her request!

"Because these are all facts, how can I refuse...?"

"Well--"

Ye Qianxue's cheeks puffed out even higher, and her gaze toward Yan Ziming became increasingly dissatisfied.

A flash of inspiration struck Yan Ziming, and he came up with a brilliant plan.

"unless......."

Yan Ziming said with suspense, and Ye Qianxue immediately asked as if she had grasped a lifeline, "Unless what?"

"Unless you prove to me that you're not as bad as I say, I'll take back what I said and grant you a reasonable request."

"...Any request!"

"Fine, fine... I'll grant you any request, but only one." Yan Ziming said helplessly, raising his index finger.

Another unequal treaty has been signed. As the older sister, she's really worried herself sick over her younger sister.

"Then it's settled! Big sister, you just wait, hehe..."

Ye Qianxue resumed her usual sweet smile, which also carried a hint of wickedness, or so Yan Ziming perceived it.

Ah... it seems that request won't be so easy to fulfill. How much will she have to give to get it done?

Chapter Fifty Reluctance

Three days have passed since Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue had their argument.

It was already midday, and despite it being mid-March, it was still so cold in Bei'an. To put her mind at ease, Yan Ziming had been wearing thick tights lately, adorned with exquisite floral embroidery that created a stunningly beautiful and impactful picture—the kind that appealed to both men and women.

Ye Qianxue stared intently at her older sister's legs, her mind filled with a devilish "prpr" sound—a perverted behavior etched into her very bones.

Of course, Mu Mu, as Ye Qianxue's teacher, was no better. She was even more direct than Ye Qianxue, her anxious gaze almost tangible, just short of taking action.

However, the atmosphere between them was somewhat strange. If an outsider were to see it, they would be able to accurately judge that the atmosphere was one of parting.

Yes, in order to prove that she was not as bad as her older sister said, and in order to accept the promise that her older sister would grant her any request, Ye Qianxue chose the opportunity closest to her—the Russian winter counter-offensive.

As for why it's time to say goodbye, it's because Yan Ziming and Mu Mu won't be accompanying them. Of the two sisters who used to be inseparable, only Ye Qianxue will go.

Yan Zimo's approach was naturally based on his own considerations.

To prevent Ye Qianxue from relying on him at crucial moments and to cultivate her independence, Yan Ziming definitely cannot be present. At the very least, he must ensure that she abandons the idea of ​​relying on her sister during the winter counterattack and truly accomplishes things on her own.

Regarding safety, Yan Ziming has already informed Mo Sheng. Given her status, it's not hard to know that Mo Sheng is the commander-in-chief of this operation. As a good friend, it's not a problem to ask her to look after Ye Qianxue.

"Qianxue...we're waiting for you to come back."

Although it was Yan Ziming's decision, at the moment of parting, Yan Ziming felt extremely reluctant to leave, and the desire to keep him almost overflowed from his eyes.

Yan Ziming couldn't bear to part with her younger sister, and Ye Qianxue was equally reluctant to part with her elder sister. Her delicate nose tingled, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, like pear blossoms in the rain, as she choked out a sob.

"Um......."

The atmosphere of sadness grew stronger, as if it had become tangible and drifted outwards.

This journey involves crossing a whole country!

Being in a foreign land, they were powerless to do anything, and it was hard to know that they had never experienced being separated by such a great distance before.

Both sisters seemed about to back out, but Mu Mu quickly stopped them:

"Stop, stop, stop—it's too late for you to back out now. Once you've signed up and learned so many secrets, you can't back out."

"...Then how about I..."

Before Yan Ziming could speak, Mu Mu interjected, "Relax, with Sister Mo Sheng there, what problems could possibly arise? Stay in Bei'an!"

"Tch... Qianxue, I don't expect you to call me every day, but you should at least call once every three days to report on your situation. If it's explicitly forbidden to make calls to the outside world, then forget it, I'll ask Sister Mosheng."

"OK!"

"besides........"

"Alright, alright, it's almost time. Are you trying to keep your sister tied to your side and not let her leave?!"

Mu Mu couldn't take it anymore. She was so overwhelmed by the cheesy sweet talk between the two sisters that she didn't want to give them any more time to talk to each other. She immediately dragged Ye Qianxue to their destination.

Yan Ziming rolled her eyes. How could Mu Mu be so ungrateful!
