Lu Xiaoxiao kept her arm around Lu Jiaoyue's shoulders as she led her upstairs and into her warmly decorated bedroom.
By now, the Original Host's room had taken on plenty of Lu Xiaoxiao's personal touches. Posters of her favorite movies covered the walls, books and notes on acting lay scattered across the desk, and everywhere bore the traces of the life she had lived since transmigrating.
"Make yourself comfortable, Jiaoyue!" Lu Xiaoxiao casually draped her jacket over the back of a chair and settled comfortably into the beanbag by the window. Then she patted the spot beside her, inviting Lu Jiaoyue to sit down too. "What did you want to tell me? I'm listening!"
Compared with her easygoing manner, Lu Jiaoyue seemed rather reserved.
She walked over to the bed and sat down primly, almost like an elementary school student listening in class. Her hands rested obediently on her knees, her back was ramrod straight, and her serious expression suggested she was hoping for leniency in exchange for a confession.
Seeing her sister's adorable, battle-ready demeanor, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing. "Oh, relax, Jiaoyue! We're just two sisters having a chat, not holding a public denunciation! Nothing you say will upset me!"
At her sister's words, Lu Jiaoyue's cheeks flushed slightly, and her tense shoulders relaxed a little, though she still sat perfectly straight.
She took a deep breath as though making up her mind, then raised her head, looked sincerely at Lu Xiaoxiao, and began her confession:
"Xiaoxiao, since... since you already know about us hearing your thoughts, I think there are some things I should tell you." Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm. "Actually, that time Gu Sipei... um... forcibly invited you over to talk, I... I heard about it through your thoughts."
