My sister, whom I raised, has turned evil after faking her death for three years.

Su Qing froze on the spot as if a pause button had been pressed.

My mind went blank, all my senses seemed to have been drained away by that kiss, leaving only the lingering warmth on my lips, soft as a petal warmed by body heat.

Xiao Ran just kissed her, not on the forehead, not on the cheek, but on the lips. When she was fully awake, she gently but firmly cupped her face and kissed her solidly.

The system dutifully began broadcasting in her mind: [Analysis of the host's current physiological state—heart rate has exceeded 120 beats per minute, facial capillaries are highly dilated, resulting in a noticeably flushed skin, prefrontal cortex activity is decreased, and the language center is experiencing temporary functional inhibition.]

[Simply put, the host's current state is usually described in literature as "a blank mind" or "completely dumbfounded."]

Su Qing screamed in her mind for it to shut up.

[Additionally, trace amounts of DNA not belonging to the host were detected in the host's saliva, originating from Jiang Ran. From a biological perspective, you have just completed a complete—]

"Shut up!!!" Su Qing roared in her mind, her face turning red from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.

She vowed that if the system had a physical form, she would personally disassemble it into parts and throw it in the trash.

Seeing her sister's expression change from petrified to flustered, with her face turning redder and redder with each passing moment, Jiang Ran finally couldn't resist reaching out and gently poking her cheek with her finger.

My sister's skin was white, smooth, soft, and bouncy. If you poked it with your fingertip, a small part would sink in, and it would spring back when you released it. Paired with her face that seemed to say, "Where am I? Who am I? What just happened?", she was so cute that I wanted to kiss her again.

"Sister, you don't need to be so surprised, do you?"

Su Qing finally snapped out of her daze after being poked, and recoiled as if burned, trying to break free from Jiang Ran's embrace.

But Jiang Ran seemed to have anticipated her escape route, and reached out to grab her shoulder, pulling her back with a light but firm pull.

Su Qing was already unsteady on her feet, and this pull made her fall forward, landing squarely in Jiang Ran's arms.

Jiang Ran took the opportunity to pull her arms closer, wrapping her arms tightly around her lower back and locking her completely in her embrace.

Su Qing's face was as red as a boiling teapot, and even the fair skin on her neck and collarbone was tinged with a light pink.

She tried to break free, but her hands were trapped in Jiang Ran's arms, leaving her with no leverage.

"So what if you're blushing!" Su Qing's voice unconsciously rose a fraction. She looked at Jiang Ran's face so close to hers, at those bright eyes and that smug smile on her lips, and felt like steam was rising from her head. "You...you...you..." She wanted to say, "You took my first kiss," but the words rolled around in her throat and she couldn't get them out.

Because she suddenly realized something else... Regardless of who made the first move, Xiao Ran kissed her, which meant that she had taken Xiao Ran's first kiss.

She, as the older sister, took her younger sister's first kiss.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, she actually found it a little sweet.

Su Qing, you bastard! That was your sister's first kiss, and you still think it's sweet? Are you even human?

"Oh? What's wrong, Xiao Ran? Sister, please explain." Jiang Ran leaned her face forward a little more, her bright eyes filled with undisguised cunning.

Of course she knew what her sister was thinking. She could clearly see the changes in her sister's expression, from shame and indignation to self-blame and then to a kind of self-loathing.

The older sister is probably blaming herself again. Even though it was her younger sister who kissed her first time, she still feels like she stole her sister's first kiss.

Honestly, my sister had no idea that she had taken her first kiss on the very first night she returned home.

However, she planned to tell her about this later.

"Sister, what's the big deal?" She tilted her head slightly, her tone very soft and gentle, as if coaxing a cat with its fur standing on end. "Giving me to you isn't giving me to a stranger. Do you think you want to hand me over to a stranger? Look at how pretentious Xiao Ran is, how much she loves to act cute, how much she likes to be unreasonable, always throwing tantrums and making jokes. Who else could put up with Xiao Ran?"

"Don't talk about yourself like that." Su Qing looked up at her, her tone unusually serious.

She couldn't stand Xiao Ran belittling her, even though she knew he was saying it on purpose to soften her heart.

"Would you be willing to accept, sister?" Jiang Ran's eyes sparkled, filled with undisguised anticipation.

Su Qing looked into those eyes, then at the arms that were wrapped around her waist without moving, and finally sighed: "Let me go first."

Jiang Ran not only didn't let go, but tightened her arms even more, burying her face in the crook of Su Qing's neck. Her voice was muffled, with a hint of self-righteousness and shamelessness. She said she wouldn't let go unless her sister agreed. Anyway, she had plenty of strength and could hold her like this all night without any problem.

Su Qing felt her warm breath brush against the skin on the side of her neck, and that familiar jasmine scent enveloped her again.

She looked down at the head buried in her shoulder and suddenly felt a little dazed. Was this girl who was acting spoiled and coquettish in front of her really the same Jiang Ran who had a cold face in front of outsiders and made the entire Beicheng business circle tremble with fear?

She patted Jiang Ran on the back and finally sighed resignedly, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will take full responsibility for Xiao Ran."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qing felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around her.

Jiang Ran scooped her up from her arms and gently pressed her onto the sofa in the living room, all in one swift motion.

By the time Su Qing realized what was happening, her back was already sinking into the soft sofa cushions. Jiang Ran leaned down, her excessively beautiful face so close that she could see her eyelashes clearly.

"Sister, kiss me." Jiang Ran's voice carried an undisguised joy after getting her way.

"Jiang Xiaoran, that's enough... um..." Su Qing reached out to push her face, but her wrist was precisely grabbed and pressed onto the sofa cushion.

The words she hadn't yet uttered were cut off, along with the shame and anger that hadn't even had a chance to surface, all crushed in that increasingly audacious kiss.
