Chapter 431
"Now, please welcome the next plaintiff!"
"?"
There's a second one?! Who else is there?!
Fang Ming paused, looked to the side, and saw a calico cat with useless black horizontal mosaic stickers on its face standing on the table, making a mournful sound.
"Your Honor, you must do me justice!"
Little Nino pointed at Fang Ming and accused him, saying, "He clearly knew my identity all along, but he still tricked me by pretending to be 'Fang Ming'! He even deliberately reduced my share of cat treats and snacks!"
"This is outrageous!! She must be severely punished!"
"Where did I tease you...?"
Fang Ming was about to explain, but suddenly remembered that before the Sky Screen appeared, he had indeed teased Nino several times, deliberately acting as if he had sensed her intelligence, thus forcing Nino to act like a cute kitten...
Upon thinking about this, Fang Ming was speechless.
But then Fang Ming found a point to refute him. He pointed at Nino and said, "Okay, I admit I teased you! But cutting back on cat treats is something everyone agrees on! Look at how fat you've gotten!"
"... Who got fat?!"
The three-flowered Nino, who was almost turning into a big orange, suddenly became angry. She said to Yu Muqiu again:
"Your Honor! The defendant shows absolutely no remorse! He even physically attacked me! He must be severely punished! Severely punished!!!"
"Ahem... Well, I am aware of this matter. Next witness!" Yu Muqiu deliberately lowered his voice to appear very serious and looked at the witness stand again.
Fang Ming's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
There are more experts?!
He glanced to the side and saw that Nino had been replaced by Stella in the seat next to him.
...?
Stella?
What are you doing here?!
As Fang Ming stared wide-eyed, Stella slowly spoke:
"Hmm... actually, I don't have much to say, although it's a bit strange... oh, if I had to say, it's that... Xiao Bai?"
"!!"
"!!!!"
Stella's words instantly silenced the atmosphere inside the courtyard.
Fang Ming's eyes widened, and he shouted:
"Slander!! Defamation!!! Leaving aside the persona in the Sky Screen,' the real me has never changed clothes or gone to the bathroom with you!! I didn't see anything in real life!!! If I had to accuse you, the other day when I was changing into my pajamas, I even..."
Upon mentioning this, Fang Ming paused, then chose to skip the topic and called out to Yu Muqiu:
"Xiao Qiu! She's slandering me!"
"Oh, I meant the main body in the incubation chamber... Look, I'm not wearing any clothes, am I?" Stella said with a grin.
Fang Ming's lips twitched.
Speechless.
Yu Muqiu, who was playing the role of the judge, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She really thought that Brother Fang Ming had used Xiao Bai's teenage identity to do some lewd things.
Thank goodness... thank goodness... Fang Ming is still the Fang Ming she loves.
Although... the fact that she and Xiao Bai were the same person still hit her hard.
"Ahem!" Clearing her throat, Xiao Qiu skipped the next witness testimonies and read out the final verdict against Fang Ming.
She tapped the table with a tiny hammer she'd made from a mineral water bottle, and said:
"Based on the testimony of multiple witnesses, and with the evidence now irrefutable, the defendant has been found guilty of numerous unforgivable crimes! Now, after a trial by the judge, the defendant is sentenced to 'the Sister Punishment' for one month! To be carried out immediately!!"
"... I have a problem!"
The defendant Fang Ming, immediately raised his hand. "What is this 'Sister Punishment'?"
What kind of absurd punishment is this!?
Yu Muqiu said earnestly and seriously, "For the next month, you will become everyone's little sister, call us 'older sister'! And you are not allowed to run away! Protests are rejected! Until we forgive you!"
"I... I mean, does my true form also need to call out?"
Fang Ming pointed to himself.
"Right!"
Xiao Qiu answered loudly, and at the same time picked up the small hammer and tapped it again. "The trial is now over!"
"Wait!! Can't you change the punishment?! Something like the Sister Punishment '...?"
"No way! Brother Fang Ming, you've been lying to us for so long, this is the punishment you deserve!"
Yu Muqiu retorted earnestly.
Actually, while Yu Muqiu and the others were surprised that Fang Ming was Xiao Bai, they weren't too shocked or angry.
What truly angered Yu Muqiu and the others was that Fang Ming had been keeping it a secret from them all along.
Xiao Chun and Dongdong clearly knew about it, and even Aurora, who joined later, knew about it, but they deliberately kept it from them!
Yu Muqiu was very angry! Extremely angry!
Only Fang Ming becomes a complete Xiao Bai and makes amends to her will Yu Muqiu be able to forgive him!
As for the punishment of Sister Punishment," it was also a small personal motive of Yu Muqiu.
Yu Muqiu had wanted Xiao Bai to call her "sister" for a long time, especially after the movie, she wanted Xiao Bai to call her "sister" in person even more.
However, because she was friends with Xiao Bai, Yu Muqiu didn't want to put her friend in a difficult position, so she never brought it up herself.
But now...
Fang Ming is her family! He's her cousin whom she's known for a long time! Plus, she did something wrong, so it's perfectly reasonable for Yu Muqiu to whine a little and ask him to call her "sister"!
In addition, Chen Xiaoxia also wanted to do this, so the two hit it off and the 'Sister Punishment' was born!
For the next month, both Fang Ming and Xiao Bai will have to call them "older sister"!
And they also wanted to leave behind a video as a memento!
Only in this way can they forgive Fang Ming!
Fang Ming had no objection to Yu Muqiu's trial.
Of course, even if they had opinions, it wouldn't matter; Yu Muqiu and the others would definitely not agree.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the punishment Yu Muqiu and the others received for concealing this from them for so long was already a huge concession.
After all, Fang Ming didn't need to do anything; he just needed to be sweet-talking and call them "sister" a few times.
But...
Looking at Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia who had come close to him again, Fang Ming was covered in cold sweat.
Is he... is he really going to scream?
Knowing that the other party already knows my identity, calling Xiao Qiu and the others "sister" or something like that... is really hard to say!
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 464 He seems to have become the 'Psychology Committee Member'?
Having transformed back into her Xiao Bai form, the silver-haired girl looked at the expectant blue-haired girl before her and fell into deep thought.
After a long silence, she first sighed, then earnestly asked the blue-haired girl in front of her:
If I called you "sister"... could you really forgive me?
"Hmph, that depends on the situation! And even if I forgive you, you can't back out for a month! I suppose... Brother Fang Ming, as a man, certainly can't renege on his promise, right?"
After learning Fang Ming's identity, Chen Xiaoxia became much bolder when facing Xiao Bai.
Knowing that Xiao Bai was Fang Ming, she no longer cared about the things Xiao Bai had said from an elder's perspective, nor did she think Xiao Bai was arrogant.
From Fang Ming's perspective, she was indeed a child.
With the barriers in their hearts gone, the slight animosity between Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Bai naturally dissipated.
Moreover, Xiao Bai is still a child and looks exceptionally cute, so Chen Xiaoxia naturally wouldn't continue arguing with Xiao Bai.
However, one thing at a time, the punishment is still necessary.
Chen Xiaoxia had wanted Xiao Bai to be her younger sister for a long time, and now that she had this opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste not to satisfy her Desire?
Hearing Chen Xiaoxia say that, Xiao Bai sighed again. She turned her head and muttered something under her breath:
"... Sister Xiaoxia."
"I can't hear you!! The sound is too low!!"
Such a perfunctory address could not possibly satisfy Chen Xiaoxia.
Chen Xiaoxia puffed out her cheeks, clearly unhappy with Xiao Bai was now addressed.
Xiao Bai glanced at Yu Muqiu, who was also waiting on the other side, and sighed again.
Then her expression turned serious. She clenched her fists, raised them to her chest, tilted her head slightly to one side, and looked at Chen Xiaoxia with innocent eyes.
"Xiaoxia- jie~"
"Pfft--!!!"
As if feeling something slam into her, blood gushed from the blue-haired girl's nose, and she collapsed to the ground in surrender. "I forgive you!!!"
"..."
Seeing the blue-haired girl who seemed to have been completely defeated, Xiao Bai felt no joy of 'victory'.
She turned her head away, speechless, tears streaming down her face...
My integrity... it's completely gone now.
"What about me? What about me, Xiao Bai sister? What about me!"
After Chen Xiaoxia, Yu Muqiu ran over excitedly.
She bounced her pigtails as she approached Xiao Bai, pointing expectantly at herself with her fingers, her eyes sparkling, hoping to hear the words Xiao Bai would say.
Once it happens, it will happen again.
Having witnessed that embarrassing scene just now, Xiao Bai felt no qualms about doing it again.
She used her acting skills to rediscover that innocent girl feeling, tilting her head and blinking, calling out to Xiao Qiu in a soft, sweet voice:
"Sister Xiao Qiu ~~"
"!!!!"
Yu Muqiu was struck hard and nearly fell to the ground.
Bang!!
There was a sound of something hitting the ground.
Xiao Bai stared blankly at Yu Muqiu.
She initially thought Yu Muqiu had lost her balance and fallen, but a glance at Xiao Bai told her the sound wasn't coming from Yu Muqiu.
So this is--
Xiao Bai turned her head toward the source of the sound, but before she could see who it was, a dark figure, accompanied by a faint fragrance, pounced on Xiao Bai, quickly grabbed her, and fled.
"Xiao Qiu!! Xiaoxia!!! You two have gone too far!! You... you--!!"
Murong Xiaochun, who had returned at some unknown time, hugged Xiao Bai tightly and looked at Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia with indignation.
Hearing Xiao Chun's angry voice, Xiao Bai felt a touch of emotion.
Sure enough, she knew it; Xiao Chun was definitely on her side!
Waaah, Xiao Chun... do you even know what I've been through these past two days...?
Xiao Bai was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
But Xiao Chun's next words instantly dispelled all the emotion in Xiao Bai's heart.
