Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Chapter 120: One Wish and Three Wishes

In the dimly lit living room.

Only the faint light from the two candles illuminated Jiang Miao’s well-defined face.

After lighting the candles, Senior Sister wrapped her arms around his neck from behind and pressed her cheek gently against his.

Senior Sister’s soft voice rang in his ears. “Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday~ to you~”

Jiang Miao looked at the flickering candle flames in front of him and gently held Senior Sister’s hands on his chest, feeling a bit dazed.

He remembered the last time he celebrated his birthday was in the sixth grade.

Ever since middle school, he hadn’t bothered to celebrate his birthday.

It wasn’t that he disliked birthdays. He just found them troublesome.

One reason was that every time his friends had birthdays, he had to rack his brain to figure out what gift to give.

So when it came to his birthday, he felt it was easier not to celebrate rather than trouble others with the same dilemma.

The second reason was that he didn’t like being the center of attention for no reason.

On birthdays, the birthday person was the focus.

But this attention wasn’t earned through any outstanding achievements or exceptional performance.

It was simply because of the day they were born.

But at this moment, being the sole focus of Senior Sister’s attention didn’t seem like such a bad thing.

“Junior Brother, make a wish,” Su Huaizhou whispered softly in his ear after singing the birthday song.

“Mm.” Jiang Miao closed his eyes and made a wish. Then he opened them, leaned towards the small cake, and blew out the candles.

“What did you wish for?” she asked curiously.

“I wished for you to grant me three wishes.”

“Nonsense!” Su Huaizhou playfully smacked him, feigning annoyance.

“If it’s true, will you help me realize it?” Jiang Miao turned his head, took Senior Sister’s hand, and pulled her into his embrace.

She put up a small token resistance to show that she wasn’t doing it on her own accord. Then she settled comfortably in Junior Brother’s lap with a clear conscience and asked, “Then, what do you need three wishes for?”

“The first wish is for you to officially become my girlfriend.” He buried his face in her soft hair and inhaled her scent. “The second wish is for you to always be happy.”

“You wish for my happiness, but what about you?” Su Huaizhou asked happily.

“If you’re happy, then of course I’ll be happy too,” Jiang Miao said. “That way, we’ll both be happy.”

“Hmph~” She leaned her cheek against his chest, listening to his noticeably faster heartbeat, and a playful smile tugged at her lips. “And the third wish?” ?

“The third wish…” Jiang Miao pretended to ponder deeply before saying cheerfully, “Of course, it’s for you to grant me three more wishes.”

Su Huaizhou: “???”

“A perpetual motion machine, huh?” She looked up and rolled her eyes at him. “Always trying to be clever.”

“So, will you agree, Senior Sister?”

“Keep dreaming~” She gently pushed him away and slipped out of his embrace. “Let’s eat first, or the stir-fried pork will get cold.”

Jiang Miao followed Senior Sister into the kitchen, scooped rice, and returned to the dining table, where they sat facing each other.

Since they had a small cake waiting, both of them only scooped half a bowl of rice.

Su Huaizhou ladled a bowl of tomato egg soup for Jiang Miao, then picked up a piece of stir-fried pork to savor her own cooking.

“How is it?” She blinked expectantly. “Does it taste good?”

“Mhm.” He nodded. “It’s way better than what I make.”

“It’s not that exaggerated.”

“It’s because you made it,” Jiang Miao said earnestly. “I feel the taste of love in it.”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Su Huaizhou rolled her eyes at him. Having tasted the stir-fried pork herself, she thought it was clearly ordinary.

Junior Brother’s stir-fried pork was more delicious.

“Junior Brother.”

“Mm.”

“I’m thinking about drawing a fully-body illustration of the female lead as your birthday present.” She took a small sip of the tomato egg soup, her cheeks growing rosy. “What kind of outfit would you like her to wear?”

Jiang Miao thought for a moment, then asked shyly, “Senior Sister, is no outfit an option?”

“Go to hell!” Su Huaizhou blushed furiously as she angrily stomped her foot under the table, hitting his knee squarely. “Die, die, die!”

He hadn’t expected Senior Sister to have such a big reaction and quickly begged for mercy. “Okay, I’ll pick something else!”

“Go ahead.” She puffed her cheeks and pulled back her foot. “If you dare to mess around again, I won’t draw anything for you.”

“Then how about a lesser-clothed version of the last one?” Jiang Miao asked tentatively.

“Just underwear is also not an option! It has to be proper clothing!” Su Huaizhou’s face was full of shame and anger, but she immediately emphasized, “It can’t be too exposed!”

“Alright.” Jiang Miao sighed in defeat, his hope dashed. After thinking about it, he said, “How about a JK uniform (high school girl’s uniform)? Is this okay?”

Su Huaizhou’s expression finally eased. She tilted her head, seemingly reminiscing about something, then nodded. “That should be fine.”

“What do you mean by should be?”

“Don’t ask too much.” She shot him a glare and continued to eat the stir-fried pork in her bowl. “You’ll find out later.”

Jiang Miao didn’t press the issue. After all, Senior Sister had always been drawing these illustrations for him for free. It was already more than generous.

He should be content with what he got.

Whether it was underwear or nothing at all, it didn’t really matter.

Anyway, someday, he would be able to see the real thing in person.

With this thought, Jiang Miao continued eating and sipping soup. Suddenly, he felt something against her calf.

He looked down and found Senior Sister’s small foot rubbing against his leg.

He looked up, meeting her eyes.

Su Huaizhou’s cheeks were rosy, but she was doing her best to act like nothing was happening and focus on eating.

But the more seriously she pretended to eat, the more obvious her flaws were.

Watching Senior Sister’s adorable act of feigning ignorance, Jiang Miao smiled and dug into his food, suddenly feeling his appetite improve tenfold.

Soon, they finished the food, and the small cake was placed in the center of the table.

Without bothering to cut it, the two of them each grabbed a fork and began sharing the cake.

Meanwhile, Senior Sister’s foot had made its way up along Jiang Miao’s calf, past his knee, and onto his thigh.

While he was eating the cake with his fork in his right hand, his left hand could no longer resist. Taking advantage of the dim lighting in the living room, his left hand crept under the table.

Like a thief, his left hand sneakily approached Senior Sister’s foot, ready to make its move at any moment.

“Senior Sister, is this part of my birthday present too?” Jiang Miao asked meaningfully.

Su Huaizhou knew exactly what he was talking about. Her face flushed, she turned her head and replied softly, “Yes, it’s just a birthday present.”

“Why do I feel a sense of déjà vu?” he asked curiously.

“You wrote it yourself,” she murmured. “The female lead stretched her foot on his birthday. You wrote it yesterday.”

Since Junior Brother had written it like that, he had to like it, right?

At least that was what Su Huaizhou thought.

From the looks of it, this did seem to be the case.

Junior Brother is such a pervert. He even looks like he’s enjoying it.

While Su Huaizhou was thinking, she suddenly felt something grab her foot. “Ah!”

Startled, she quickly pulled her foot back.

But Jiang Miao had no intention of letting go of his captured prize. He firmly held onto Senior Sister’s delicate, smooth ankle, refusing to release it.

“L-let go…” Su Huaizhou urged anxiously, stammering as she quickly swallowed the cake in her mouth and licked the cream off the corner of her lips.

“No,” Jiang Miao replied thick-skinnedly. “This is your birthday gift to me. You said it yourself, remember?”

“No… I didn’t!” Her cheeks turned as red as the evening sky. “That’s not what I meant by my birthday gift!”

She had clearly only rubbed her foot against Junior Brother’s leg. When did she ever say her foot was a birthday gift?

Junior Brother just loved to twist the facts!

“I don’t care. Anyway, you’ve already given it to me as a birthday gift, so it’s mine now.” Jiang Miao held Senior Sister’s slender ankle, feeling as if his hand were gripping a live fish.

It was lively and wriggling, wanting to break free, but growing weaker and weaker.

Since Su Huaizhou was wearing short socks, her ankle was completely exposed to the air and held tightly in Junior Brother’s warm palm.

She only felt her ankle go numb from the heat. In a panic, she stretched out her left foot, wanting to push his hand away.

But before her left foot could rescue her right foot, she felt her left ankle being held as well.

Oh no!

Looking across at Jiang Miao, Su Huaizhou realized that Junior Brother’s right hand had also snuck under the table!

“D-don’t… Wu…” She trembled slightly when she felt his hand touching the back of her foot through her sock. “Don’t, don’t go too far…”

Her feet were now dangling in the air under the table, leaving only her bottom sitting on the chair to support all her weight. With Junior Brother’s pulling her like this, she nearly slipped off the chair.

Fortunately, her hands managed to grab the edge of the chair in time. Otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing.

Jiang Miao hadn’t expected Senior Sister to have such a strong reaction and felt a bit embarrassed himself, so he loosened his grip a little.

As long as Su Huaizhou exerted a little force, she could easily pull her feet back.

Yet she acted as though she didn’t notice. With her head lowered, she whimpered softly but refused to pull back her feet.

Jiang Miao’s expression immediately became strange.

Even after he discreetly loosened his hold and began lightly stroking the back of her feet, she seemed oblivious, and her two little feet even continued rubbing against his thigh.

“Senior Sister, I’ve let go for a while now,” he reminded.

At this, Su Huaizhou finally returned to her senses. She blushed and hurriedly pulled back her feet.

But Jiang Miao noticed and wanted to leave one foot behind to continue enjoying the moment.

In the end, his grip slipped. While he did manage to keep his hold on one foot, he didn’t fully secure it.

“Ah!” Su Huaizhou screamed. She looked down at her bare foot and immediately blushed. “My sock!”

Jiang Miao lowered his head and looked at the dainty white sock in his hand, momentarily at a loss for words.

“Give it back!” She quickly got up and ran over from across the table, wanting to snatch her sock back.

In a panic, he instinctively stuffed the sock into his pocket, hiding the stolen goods like a thief.

“Where’s my sock?” Su Huaizhou pounced on Jiang Miao, searching here and there.

With the lights off and only a small table lamp on the coffee table illuminating the room, she couldn’t see clearly and couldn’t find the sock.

After groping around, she finally discovered the bulge in Junior Brother’s pants and realized it was in his pocket.

Just as she was about to reach in, Jiang Miao pressed her hand down. “Senior Sister, this is a birthday gift you gave me. How can you take it back?”

“You pervert! Who gives their own sock as a birthday gift?” Su Huaizhou retorted, feeling shy and annoyed.

He swiftly pulled Senior Sister into his arms, preventing her from escaping, and whispered into her ear, “But now you have.”

With Junior Brother holding her tightly, Su Huaizhou immediately softened and murmured in his arms, “Pervert.”

As she said this, she adjusted her seating position and settled herself on his lap, showing no intention of leaving.

Anyway, Junior Brother hugged her first. She didn’t initiate anything.

Thinking of this, she felt secure. But suddenly, her expression changed as she felt something, and her cheeks flushed bright red.

“I knew you were up to no good!” Su Huaizhou leaned against Jiang Miao and playfully bit him.

He coughed a couple of times, feeling a bit awkward. “This is a normal reaction. I can’t control it.”

“Who has reactions like this…? Are you like this with other girls too?”

“I don’t know. So far, I’ve only hugged one girl, Senior Sister.” He blinked innocently. “Maybe I should find someone else—Ow! Stop, stop! Don’t bite, don’t bite!”

“Don’t look for other girls!” Su Huaizhou stared at him seriously. “You can only look for me from now on.”

“Okay, I’ll only look for you, Senior Sister.” Jiang Miao nodded and tightened his embrace around her. Then he added, “But Senior Sister, I didn’t just write the leg stretching thing yesterday, right? There were a few other things too.”

Su Huaizhou’s face flushed as she recalled the content of the two chapters from yesterday, making her feel hot all over.

“You wish!” she refused. “We-we’ve only unlocked one-third. We can’t kiss yet.”

“Then what is it now?” Jiang Miao teased. “We’re already hugging. Didn’t you say hugs are part of the second stage?”

“This…” Su Huaizhou choked at his words and stammered, “I think there’s a problem with the previous divisions. Actually, holding hands and hugging… should both count as the first stage.”

“What’s in the second stage? Kissing?” Jiang Miao guided patiently.

“No!” Su Huaizhou shook her head vigorously. “Kissing is still the third stage!”

“Then what is the second stage?”

“Uh…” She was in a dilemma. With Junior Brother holding her tightly, she tilted her head back to look up at him and suddenly thought of something. “W-wait.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Miao was puzzled. Then he saw Senior Sister turn away, dip her finger into the cake’s cream, and then smear it on his face.

The next moment, Su Huaizhou held Junior Brother’s face with both hands, her cheeks burning like they were about to emit steam.

Finally, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes tightly, and slowly moved her face closer.

Jiang Miao watched as Senior Sister moved closer and closer, his breathing becoming more rapid.

Inhaling her sweet fragrance, he held her even tighter, pressing their bodies together.

Muacks~

Su Huaizhou’s lips landed softly.

She kissed the sweet cream…

… and also kissed Jiang Miao’s heart.
