Ugh, wasn't the Awakening System supposed to make me the main character?

Are you worried that I'd do something to such an adorable little Yue Ran?

"Haha, don't worry, I've never had that kind of thought, and I would never do such a thing."

I patted my chest and assured Guiyue.

Although I was a scumbag in my previous life and deceived many girls, this time I'm absolutely telling the truth.

"Okay, that's good~"

Although she was talking to me, for some reason, Guiyue kept focusing her gaze on Xiaoyueran.

As soon as Guiyue finished speaking, Xiaoyueran spoke up immediately.

"Don't let my young age fool you, I'm already of legal age, so it's okay for me to do it."

Compared to Xiao Yueran, isn't it the teacher and the younger sister who shouldn't be together?

You should know that this is illegal!

Xiaoyueran's words made me even more confused.

Is it not allowed between me and my sister?

What are the things that are not allowed between my sister and me?

Dating? That seems impossible, doesn't it?

Why do they stare at each other as soon as they meet, and then say such strange things?

I don't understand, but for some reason I suddenly felt a chill down my back.

Based on the tags given by the system task just now, could it be... could it be that something very bad is about to happen?

158. Jealousy and rivalry

Nothing much happened for a short time after that. We got on the bus and didn't say much more.

Holding the ice cream that Guiyue had bought for me beforehand, I stood near the back door of the car, one hand holding onto a pillar, the other holding the ice cream.

However, it's already rush hour, and because of traffic jams, the buses are constantly stopping and starting, making it difficult for me to even get an ice cream.

Seeing this, Guiyue moved closer to me.

"Sister, how about I feed you?"

Before I could even reply, Xiao Yueran's gaze swept over me, her eyes seeming to want to tell me something.

Not quite understanding what Xiaoyueran was trying to say, I thought for a moment and then waved to Guiyue.

"I'll eat it myself."

Although the number of people is much smaller than right after school, there are still several other students from our school on the bus, and Xiaoyueran is also here.

As a teacher, I really don't want my students to see me being fed by my younger sister...

Seeing that I refused, Guiyue didn't say anything more.

Then Xiaoyueran came over, her eyes fixed on the ice cream in my hand that I had already taken several bites of. "Teacher, Yueran wants to eat ice cream too..."

"what?"

Hearing Xiaoyueran's request, I looked at her with some difficulty, and then at the ice cream in my hand.

Then I noticed that my younger sister, Guiyue, was blinking at me repeatedly. Was she implying that I should reject Xiaoyueran?

But Xiaoyueran didn't have any bad intentions. She just wanted to eat ice cream, that's all.

I agreed to Xiaoyueran's request without hesitation.

"OK then."

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Yueran looked at Guiyue for some reason, as if she was trying to express something. Guiyue was also looking at Xiao Yueran, and her expression seemed a little uncomfortable.

I felt something was off about these two people. What was going on?

Although I promised to give the ice cream to Xiaoyueran, I didn't plan to give it to her directly. Instead, I wanted to remove the part that had come into contact with my mouth first, and then give the rest to Xiaoyueran.

After all, if you give it to someone directly like that, it's practically an indirect kiss. There are other students from our school here, and if they see it, it will really set a bad example.

Moreover, and most importantly, I don't want to taint such a pure and innocent girl like Yue Ran.

Remembering that Guiyue had given me a scoop before, which was in my skirt pocket, I took it out and used it to scoop off everything on the ice cream that had touched my mouth.

Seeing me do this, Xiao Yueran immediately looked puzzled. She tried to get closer to me, but Guiyue blocked her way.

"Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing, teacher? Why are you digging it out? It's such a waste."

"It's nothing, they just cut off the parts I ate before, not much."

After all, Xiaoyueran doesn't need to eat my saliva, does she?

I explained, continuing to carefully scoop with the spoon.

"Eh?! Xiaoyue doesn't mind? Teacher, please stop! This is such a waste!"

For some reason, Xiao Yueran was unusually excited, while Guiyue was still trying to find ways to block Xiao Yueran's position.

"Sister is right, this is all for your own good, so sister, hurry up and dig them all up!"

Huh? Why are these two acting so strangely?

Ever since we met, his actions have been somewhat inexplicable to me.

"Alright, you can eat the rest now. Here, take this and hold on tight."

I handed the remaining ice cream to Guiyue, who was standing between us. Guiyue glanced at the ice cream I had scooped out, gave a slightly mocking smile, and then handed the ice cream to Xiaoyueran.

"Oh, thank you, teacher..."

For some reason, Xiao Yueran, who had just received the ice cream, did not seem happy. Instead, she let out a low moan that sounded rather sad.

This puzzles me greatly.

Why did Xiaoyueran become even more unhappy after the ice cream was given to her?

"Didn't you want ice cream? What's wrong? I gave you ice cream, why aren't you happy?"

Guiyue voiced the same question I had, but for some reason, her tone sounded a little strange…

Xiao Yue Ran didn't say anything and buried her head in eating the ice cream in her hand.

I glanced at Guiyue; she had just been frowning, but now she was smiling.

What's going on with these two? They've been acting strangely all along...

As we arrived at another stop, the bus announcement came on again: the next stop was the entrance to the residential complex where my rented apartment was located.

It was then that I realized Xiaoyueran hadn't gotten off the bus yet, so I asked her.

"Xiao Yueran, which stop are you planning to get off at? Why are you still on the train?"

I know where Xiaoyueran's house is located. There are no stops near her house after this one, but I can't rule out the possibility that she has another house elsewhere, which is why I asked.

Xiao Yueran thought for a moment, then pouted and gave a pitiful look.

"I forgot to tell the teacher, my family suddenly changed their minds and said they won't be picking up Xiaoyueran today, so..."

So you're staying with me tonight too?

I blinked, my feelings a bit complicated.

To be honest, I don't know why, but even though I don't really care, I always feel that if I bring Xiaoyueran home, something bad might happen.

“Oh, yes…”

Xiao Yueran lowered her head and answered softly.

Its pitiful appearance was like that of an abandoned kitten, begging me for a final act of pity.

Her family has treated her this way; if I were to reject her too, little Yue Ran would be too pitiful…

At this moment, Guiyue spoke.

"How about this, little sister? I'll book you a hotel room, and you can stay there by yourself."

"Eh?! Ugh... But if that's the case, Yue Ran will be very scared being alone in an unfamiliar environment."

"It would definitely be much better if I were with the teacher..."

As Xiao Yueran spoke, she bit her lip tightly, her eyes slightly reddening.

Seeing Xiaoyueran like this, I certainly couldn't bear to let her go to the hotel alone.

Furthermore, even if I were to do that, it would still be extremely dangerous for her, a young girl, to be in a hotel alone.

After thinking for a moment, I gave Guiyue an awkward smile.

"Haha, how about letting Xiaoyueran stay at my rented apartment tonight? It's too dangerous for her to be alone."

"But she's already this old, and there's always a first time for everything, right?"

After listening to Guiyue's words, I hesitated for a moment. Although I felt that Guiyue's words made sense, I still couldn't bear to let Xiaoyueran stay in a hotel alone tonight when I saw her pitiful little eyes.

"Forget it. She's still so young. What if something goes wrong? How am I supposed to explain it to her family?"

"Well, since my sister wants to keep her..."
