Chapter 142: Talks Between Sisters
As they filled the bathtub, Su Xing’er couldn’t help but glance at Su Lan. She tied her long hair and looked at herself in the mirror.
” Jia Hao’s car…It must have felt good, right?”
” Tsk, Are you still hung on that?” Su Lan looked at Su Xing’er.
” Not really, Just asking.”
” Well, I have to admit. Jia Hao drives really well.” Su Lan nodded. ” And the car was very fine. The interior was absolutely luxurious.”
” Let’s say…Big Sister Lan.” Su Xing’er’s voice became low as she looked at Su Lan.
” What do you think of Jia Hao?”

Su Lan was startled when she heard that. ” What do you mean by that, Xing’er?”
” It’s what it means.” Su Xing’er replied as she got into the bathtub. Seeing her, Su Lan also got inside.
” Haah, Been a while since we bathed like this.” Su Lan leaned on the edge as she sighed with pleasure.
” Indeed. We used to bath together.” Su Xing’er smiled affectionately. ” Elder Sister, Let me scrub your back.”
” Thank you, Xing’er.”
Su Lan’s flawless back glistened with water as Su Xing’er applied some soap, slowly scrubbing her back.
” Xing’er, I was also thinking of talking to you about Hao’er.”
” Is that so?”
Su Xing’er’s heart thumped when she heard that. ” What happened? Did that jerk hurt you?”
” Xing’er, How can you talk to him like that?” Su Lan pouted. ” Hao’er is now a part of our family.”
” Well, That’s true though.” Su Xing’er clicked her tongue.
” Haah, I remember when we were little. We three used to play together.” Su Xing’er smiled.
” Indeed, And he was really fond of you. Maybe because both of you were similar in age. And you were really outgoing, unlike the introverted me.” Su Lan closed her eyes and enjoyed the scrubbing.
” Aunt Jia’s cooking, especially her vegetable stew and black bean noodles. Even if mom tried to make them, she couldn’t bring that flavor.”
” Uncle and Aunt Jia…” Su Xing’er sighed. ” I really felt bad when they passed away.”
” But, Now I feel Jia Hao is more connected to you, Sister Lan.”
” Oh? Is that so?” Su Lan’s lips curved as she remembered some sweet moments.
” Like you said, In childhood, me and Jia Hao were closer. But now, I feel like…”
” Feel what?” Su Lan tried to turn around, but Su Xing’er didn’t let her be. ” Now, Tell me about you thoughts, Sister Lan. What did you wanted to say?”
” I… I confessed to Jia Hao.”
” Hmm, Alright…” Su Xing’er nodded as her face froze. ” Yo-You did WHAT?”
” I confessed my love to Jia Hao.” Su Lan took a deep breath and spoke. ” You knew, Xing’er. Hao’er gave me a poplar flower and confessed his love to me?”
” Bu-But those are just…children’s play!’ Su Xing’er muttered.
” He said, the poplar is a flower that blooms in a harsh condition yet still remains steady. His love for me is also like that.” Su Lan smiled fondly.
” And even after years, I felt that love towards him. There wasn’t a day I didn’t thought about him.”
Su Xing’er knew her sister had some feelings for Jia Hao. But she didn’t expect her to confess to Jia Hao.
” And?” Su Xing’er asked with a nervous voice. ” What did he say?”
” I mean, I told you about Lin Mei, right?”
” I know.” Su Lan chuckled. ” He told me that he is afraid of not being able to stay committed to only me.”
” Then?”
” I said it didn’t matter.”
” What? Why?” Su Xing’er chided. ” Didn’t you say you loved him? How can he say that?”
” Well, He was being honest.” Su Lan leaned back on Su Xing’er as Xing’er washed Su Lan’s hair.
” He clarified the matter of his heart. And after that, he asked me if I could accept him.”
” I accepted.”
” So…You…And…Jia Hao…Are dating now?” Su Xing’er asked with a stammer.
” Hehe, Yep.” Su Lan grinned. ” I mean, Kind of surprising. But, here we are.”
” As long as he loves me…I will love him back.”
” Sister…”
Su Xing’er felt a strange loss in her heart when she heard that. She thought she was going to be happy for Su Lan.
‘ But what is t his? Why do I feel…pain and…jealousy?’
‘ I… Jia Hao…Am I still a step late?’
‘ Wh-Why would I think of that?’
” You know Xing’er, I am really glad that Jia Hao came to our life.” Su Lan closed her eyes. ” After dad left…Perhaps he is the second male who held the mantle of the Su Family.”
” He feels like a…tall mountain, a great wall protecting our family.”
” I feel so…comfy and secure when I am near him.”
” I…” Su Xing’er was a dismayed, unable to think what she should answer.
Su Lan turned around and looked at her. ” What happened? You look a bit…tensed?”
” It’s my turn to wash you up.”
” Eh? Wai!”
However, Su Lan didn’t hear the protest of Su Xing’er as she also washed her body with soap and foam.
” Haah, Elder Sister, I never thought you would be so frank.” Su Xing’er sighed. ” I guess…It’s good that you confessed to him. It’s better to relieve your stress rather than keeping it inside your heart and straining yourself over it.”
” Hmm, Indeed.”
Su Lan felt Su Xing’er’s voice was a bit off. However, she couldn’t pinpoint what it was. However, she found a way to lighten up the mood.
” Tsk, You were teasing me then, right?” Her lips curled upwards. ” Now, It’s my turn.”
” Ahaha! No! Sister!”
Su Xing’er expression changed as she felt Su Lan’s palm on her breasts, gently caressing them with foam.
” Ahaha!c It tickles!” Su Xing’er panted, making Su Lan giggle.
” Don’t you know? You need to massage here to grow them up?”
” No~!” Su Xing’er’s body trembled. ” Lady Lan, get off your evil paws from my bosom!” She splashed water on Su Lan.
” Oh my, Why should I?”
As both sisters were playing, they suddenly heard the door creaking.
Their actions froze as their gaze met with Jia Hao’s eyes.
” Uhmm…” Jia Hao’s voice trembled as he turned around.
” Don’t mind me, I wasn’t here.”
Both Su Lan and Su Xing’er exchanged glances.
” HAO’ER!!”
” RASCAL!!”
