Lin Yuyou thought of a perfect plan, and a smile curled her lips.

She ran over to Firefly and shook her hand, acting cute.

"Sister Firefly, are you free to go shopping with me today~?"

"Huh? M-me?" Firefly pointed at herself in confusion, clearly not expecting Yuyou to invite her.

"Yeah! Staying home is pretty boring anyway, so why not go out and browse?"

Seeing Firefly hesitate, Yuyou sneakily poked her brother and gave him a meaningful look.

Lin Yu instantly caught on. After a moment's thought, he agreed to her request.

"Yeah, you've been pretty tired these past few days. This is a good chance to get some fresh air and relax."

Since even Lin Yu had said so, she felt too embarrassed to refuse and agreed.

"Th-then, all right..."

"Yay! I knew you were the best, Sister Firefly!" Lin Yuyou happily hugged Firefly's arm and swung it back and forth.

"Go get changed, Sister Firefly. Let's head out now!"

Since all her other clothes had been washed, Firefly only changed into a white T-shirt and pale blue jeans. But even such plain clothes couldn't hide her heaven-defying beauty. Once she had changed, the two were ready to leave.

Before they left, Lin Yu pulled Firefly aside to whisper to her. Yuyou craned her neck behind them, trying to hear what they were saying, but their voices were so quiet that she couldn't make out a thing.

After they finished talking, Firefly headed out with Lin Yuyou. "Bye! Have fun!"

Watching the door slowly close, he stretched. "Mmm! All right, back to work. There's still plenty left."

Since it was too far away, Yuyou had gotten her brother's keys. At the bike shed, Lin Yuyou started the little electric scooter and took Firefly to the mall where Lin Yu had bought her clothes before.

"By the way, Sister Firefly, what did my brother say to you just now?"

The wind was loud, but Firefly still heard her clearly. "Ah... i-it was nothing, really. He just said to be careful while we're out."

"Really?"

"O-of course. Why would I lie to you? It's not like I'd get anything out of it, r-right?"

"Mm, true!"

Seeing that Yuyou believed her, Firefly breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Phew, good thing I didn't give myself away.

Before they left, he had said, "Firefly, remember this. My sister might seem easygoing, but she's seriously crafty! Be careful not to let her fish anything out of you!"

Although she didn't believe Yuyou was that sort of person, it was better to heed a warning from her own brother. Sorry, little sister Yuyou!

Firefly was still apologizing to Yuyou over and over in her head, while Yuyou herself was already working out how to fish out the information she wanted.

That's right! She hadn't believed a word of what Firefly had just said. How could a whispered conversation possibly be about staying safe outside? That was far too fake.

When they reached their destination, Firefly looked at the mall before her and remembered the day Lin Yu had brought her here to buy clothes and daily necessities. That had been the first time she'd gotten things of her own, even if they had been bought with Lin Yu's money.

Thinking about it, it had been almost a month since she'd come to this world. Time really flew~

She checked her balance on her phone. A little over a thousand would be enough.

She had originally wanted to give her livestream earnings straight to Lin Yu, but he had refused, saying they could talk about it once she was making big money.

This was a chance to buy Lin Yu a gift with money she'd earned herself!

But after thinking it over, she realized there was a major problem. Oh no. After all this time, I still don't know what Lin Yu likes!

Then she glanced at Yuyou, who was parking the scooter. It's fine, it's fine. There's still Yuyou. She must know what Lin Yu likes!

With that thought, she asked directly, "Yuyou, do you know what your brother likes?"

Firefly asked in a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Oh? Why do you ask, Sister Firefly?" At first, Lin Yuyou didn't understand why she was bringing this up, but quick-witted as she was, she immediately caught on and gave a sly grin.

"Sister Firefly, don't tell me you want to buy something for my brother?"

With Yuyou guessing her intentions right away, she could only admit that Lin Yu was right. She still needed to be careful not to let anything slip.

"Mm. Lin Yu's taken such good care of me, so I wanted to give him something to show my thanks." Rather than hide it, Firefly openly admitted it.

"So can you tell me what Lin Yu likes?"

Firefly's sincerity was so dazzling that it made her feel embarrassed.

Lin Yuyou gave a tactical cough and readjusted her mindset. I can't go soft yet! "I think my brother would definitely be happy if you gave yourself to him, Sister Firefly~"

Lin Yuyou had only meant it as a joke, but Firefly clearly believed her, and her face immediately flushed.

Ugh-!

"D-don't say things like that! Who gives themselves to s-someone as a present?!"

"B-besides, Lin Yu might not even like me." Firefly shyly covered her burning cheeks.

Hearing this left Lin Yuyou utterly speechless. He let you move in, even gave you the only bedroom, and covers all your food and lodging. If that isn't liking you, I'll eat it, all right!

Although pity might have played a part, she didn't think it accounted for much.

As for Firefly, she was already lost in her own fantasy.

"Lin Yu, I have a present for you~"

"Oh? What is it?"

She smiled softly and threw her arms around him. "It's me!"

Eek! How terrifying!

Forget it, forget it. Stop thinking about it. Any more and my brain won't be able to take it!

Although Lin Yuyou really wanted to say it outright, it wasn't time yet. She had to see how Sister Firefly felt about her brother first.

"All right, I was kidding. Let's go, Sister Firefly. I'll take you to buy something my brother likes later."

Without another word, Lin Yuyou grabbed Firefly and ran toward the mall.

The two wandered around the mall, and Lin Yuyou began putting her plan into action.

"By the way, Sister Firefly, what do you think of my brother?"

"Huh? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"No reason. I just want to know what my brother's like in your eyes."

Firefly didn't suspect anything and instead gave the question serious thought. "Mm, to me, Lin Yu is gentle, considerate, and good at everything. He took me in and taught me so many things."

As she spoke, a happy expression even came over Firefly's face.

"Oh, all good points? Doesn't he have any flaws~?"

"Flaws? I don't think so. If I had to name one, it's that he always likes teasing me, though I don't dislike it."

"Then do you like my brother?" Lin Yuyou stopped and looked at Firefly.

Huh...?

The question was such a sudden leap that she couldn't process it at first. Once she did, her face heated up again.

"Y-y-y-you, what are you talking about?!"

"Liking him is a bit too..."

"Then let me ask another way. If my brother confessed to you, would you say yes?"

Seeing Yuyou's earnest, serious expression, Firefly put aside her shyness, gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands, and answered solemnly.

"I would!!!"

Her voice was so loud that it drew the attention of the people around them. Feeling their gazes, Firefly shyly pulled up her silver hair to hide her blushing face.

Even a social butterfly like Lin Yuyou was startled by Sister Firefly's shout and felt a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly grabbed Firefly's hand and fled the scene.
