Plan A
Sister’s Secret 10
Once Upon a Time
S: Eldest cousin, I think you will need these.
Her eldest cousin sent over a resource pack with “Professional Guidance Book” written on it.
The internet speed in Yan Xingyu’s room was very fast, and it was unzipped not long after.
It was a video, with two European and American girls hugging each other.
Yan Xingyu’s eyes lit up, realizing that her eldest cousin was still quite knowledgeable and somewhat useful.
S: I have more here, and I will contribute all to you.
YAN: You come over, I will host you, including food and lodging.
Yan Xingyu happily typed a string of English to avoid having to use Baidu.
Her eldest cousin seemed to have abundant resources and sent a bunch to her.
Yan Xingyu accepted them all without hesitation and quietly watched the instructional movie.
When Su Xin woke up, she had a foul expression on her face, her whole being exuding a gloomy aura.
She reached out to touch her neck, which felt completely numb, the skin smooth as if there was nothing there.
Master Fourteen, do I have any marks on my neck?
【Yes, two tiny crimson dots.】
Su Xin cursed inwardly, not reacting in time when she was suddenly bitten.
Everything that happened before felt like a dream, she had a sense of unreality.
Other than some physical weakness and a bit of dizziness, there were no aftereffects.
Su Xin recalled the terrifying reaction her body had when she was bitten.
Do vampires have this ability too?
【This is just one way they make their prey not resist, many animals in the animal kingdom do this, it’s not surprising.】
No, I mean arousal.
Su Xin remembered that feeling, thinking it should be different from being drugged, though she had never been drugged.
That feeling wasn’t intense, it was like being soaked in warm water, with her rationality gradually blurring, unlike the hot reaction described with aphrodisiacs.
It seemed like they kissed, and after that, she passed out.
Su Xin rubbed her head and called the cook to tell her what she wanted to eat.
Qianqian brought Su Xin’s dinner, which wasn’t a large portion, along with a bowl of soup and a bowl of something black with longan inside.
“What is this?”
“The young lady instructed to make this for you. This is black chicken soup, and this is a mixture boiled with donkey-hide gelatin, angelica, rehmannia, codonopsis, longan, and goji berries.”
Qianqian pointed at the two bowls.
“For replenishing blood and boosting energy.”
Qianqian added another sentence.
Su Xin touched her neck and drank the chicken soup, feeling a strong urge to slap a menstrual pad on Yan Xingyu’s face when she got her period.
Just thinking about it was a bit disgusting.
Enduring that strange taste, she forced herself to drink the two bowls of soup. She barely ate any of the rice, and it was obvious that the cook had considered this, so today’s portion was very small.

“Tell the cook that after finishing these, I won’t drink any more. The taste makes me want to vomit.”
Su Xin pushed the bowl away.
“Yes.”
Qianqian responded and cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks before leaving.
When Yan Xingyu heard that Su Xin was awake, she knocked on the door after Qianqian left and entered upon hearing a response.
Su Xin turned her head to the side as soon as she saw her.
“Qiaoqiao… I think you should know by now, and I’m not sorry about it. You taste really good.”
Yan Xingyu said without a hint of guilt.
“…Should I say thank you?”
Su Xin continued to look away from her, with a haughty expression.
“Are you angry?”
“Can I not be angry? After you bit me, my body had all sorts of strange reactions, and you gave me something not very tasty to drink—two whole bowls! How many times do you expect me to go to the bathroom?”
In truth, the bad taste and frequent bathroom trips were the main issues.
“No worries, I’ll carry you there.”
After all, it wouldn’t be the first time. Her shy little candy is very cute too.
Elder Sister had a bit of a twisted thought, feeling an urge to bite the embarrassed little candy who was awkwardly holding up her pants.
Su Xin’s eye twitched. She felt like cursing but held back.
“I didn’t control the amount well today, it seems like it was a bit excessive. So, you need to replenish your blood, otherwise, you’ll feel uncomfortable.”
Yan Xingyu sat by Su Xin’s bed, gently touching her slightly flushed face.
“If you know I’ll feel uncomfortable, then don’t bite me. Tell me, how many people have you bitten?”
Su Xin tried her best to play the role of a haughty princess. In reality, if she were the real Lin Qiaoqiao, she would probably be scared and cowering by now.
“I haven’t. You are the first food I’ve tasted, and you’re absolutely delicious.”
Yan Xingyu’s smile was mesmerizing, her slightly wavy hair adding to her allure.
“Food…?”
No one would be happy to hear themselves being described as delicious food, right?
“Not just food, you’re a very special presence. After tasting your blood, I no longer want anyone else’s.”
“Didn’t you say you haven’t bitten anyone else?”
“It’s blood plasma from the hospital.”
This was the first time Su Xin had heard such a uniquely creepy confession, what with the claim of not wanting to drink anyone else’s blood after tasting hers.
Su Xin still avoided looking at her, contemplating how to respond. Should she agree half-heartedly to facilitate completing her task, or should she show a bit more resistance?
Would accepting so quickly appear strange?
But Yan Xingyu probably wouldn’t find it strange.
Yan Xingyu likely only liked her blood. But that was fine; there was plenty of time to make her fall for her as a person.
Actually, it was quite interesting. Su Xin’s feelings towards her weren’t just because of the mission, but she did have to go through all this for the mission.
Yan Xingyu approached her because of her blood; it was a delicious feast.
A mutually beneficial start—would she really be able to make her cry in the end?
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“So, what is it that Sister wants to express?”
“Be mine, will you?”
If she liked someone, she would go for it. There was no need to feel embarrassed. They were a very straightforward race, embracing their nature and desires. Dark creatures, loyal to their own cravings, be it for food or lust.
“What’s in it for me? Is it just going to be you biting me every day?”
Yan Xingyu thought carefully. It seemed there weren’t many benefits.
She cannot offer her love, nor can she grant immortality to others, and she cannot ensure that Su Xin will be free from illness.
Thinking about it this way, it really seems like there aren’t any benefits.
Moreover, there are disadvantages, like being bitten for blood every day.
Is this the price to pay for being able to see the sunlight?
“Sorry, it seems like there aren’t any. Other than being able to give you a luxurious life, I can’t seem to do anything else.”
Yan Xingyu straightforwardly told the truth.
Su Xin was silent for a moment; she didn’t know how to respond to this.
Eldest Sister’s emotional intelligence is ridiculously low.
She could have completely said that following her would mean enjoying supreme affection, followed by a wave of sweet talk, but she never expected her to be so straightforward.
Elder Sister, let me tell you, this way you won’t be able to win over a girl.
“I might be able to cool you down in the summer? But I’m afraid in the winter, I’m very sorry, my body is very cold, without any warmth.”
Yan Xingyu continued listing her disadvantages, her expression extremely serious.
Forgive a centuries-old vampire virgin who really has no experience in pursuing someone.
She was analyzing the pros and cons of being together with her in a very rational and mature way.
“It seems like there’s really no need for you to be with me,” Elder Sister said worriedly, “but it seems like I can’t be without you. Only your blood can calm my restlessness. Actually, other people’s blood can too, but when I see you, I can’t suppress the urge to drink your blood.”
Master Fourteen, how do I save this emotionally unintelligent vampire?
【Isn’t this great? Her desire for you is very pure.】
Fourteen was also rationally analyzing the pros and cons, as if Su Xin were the only one present who was being emotional.
Su Xin felt choked up. Why did she have to discuss such complex emotions, which are specialized for humans, with two non-humans?
Yan Xingyu looked at her little candy with melancholy, feeling quite inadequate. So, how could she gain her little candy’s affection?
“Elder Sister, I want to ask you a question.”
Regarding the original owner Lin Qiaoqiao’s doubts, such speculation might seem too childish and impulsive to an adult, but to Lin Qiaoqiao, it should be quite correct.
Su Xin did not intend to criticize anything; everyone has their own thoughts. She just wondered what her reaction would be when she knew the answer, as this answer might be bad news for Lin Qiaoqiao.
“Hmm? What question?”
Yan Xingyu looked at Su Xin.
“How did my family die?”
“Let me think.”
Yan Xingyu carefully recalled the events from ten years ago.
Lin Qiaoqiao’s parents had been kind to Yan Xingyu. Ten years ago, when she passed by, she discovered that their family had suffered a misfortune. It was a violent home invasion and robbery carried out by a skilled gang. After robbing and killing, they even set the place on fire.
At that time, Lin Qiaoqiao was still playing outside, unaware that her family had already met with tragedy.
By the time Yan Xingyu arrived, Lin Qiaoqiao’s parents were already dead.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Before Yan Xingyu could repay their kindness, this tragedy occurred. As a way to repay their benevolent acts from years ago, she decided to take care of their only daughter.
So in Lin Qiaoqiao’s memory, that day was extremely chaotic. When she returned home, all she saw was a raging fire and a group of firefighters, along with their sympathetic looks towards her.
At that moment, someone reached out a hand to her and said, “From now on, you are my sister. I will take care of you.”
Su Xin knew it would be like this. Children’s thoughts are so impulsive; they are too quick to act on things.
In this world, there are many choices that cannot be made recklessly, and sides that cannot be chosen carelessly. Sometimes, a decision determines one’s entire life.
Su Xin asked Fourteen about Lin Qiaoqiao’s reaction.
Lin Qiaoqiao cried bitterly in the system space, feeling sorry for her own speculation.
Then she regretted it.
Since it was a misunderstanding, why did she have to pay with her life for it?
She wanted to go back and properly apologize to her sister.
Even if her sister drank her blood every day, it wouldn’t matter.
Master Fourteen seemed quite experienced in dealing with this, its mechanical voice somewhat cold and unfeeling.
