My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister

In the early morning, faint rays of sunlight streamed into the room, scattering patches of light. The gentle, reflected glow illuminated two faces, sound asleep on the bed.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was serene, so quiet you could hear them breathing.

Jiangg Yao’s hair was a bit of a mess, spread across Chen Yuan’s shoulder. She was also lying on one of his arms, her head pillowed on his elbow as she faced him.

A glistening trail of drool trickled from the corner of her mouth. Judging by the way she slept, she was completely dead to the world.

A pink, fuzzy comforter covered them both, snugly wrapping Jiangg Yao’s petite body. Her entire frame was curled up in Chen Yuan’s arms.

Chen Yuan had also slept soundly that night.

He didn’t know where the scent in the bed came from, but it was incredibly calming. It must have been the pleasant, identical body fragrance of the two sisters. He could smell it on the pillows, the comforter, and on Yaoyao herself. Breathing it in, he felt his mind relax and drifted off to sleep.

And so, Chen Yuan’s expression was one of perfect peace...

"Wha... What time is it!"

It was incredibly sudden!

Chen Yuan shot straight up in bed, like a jiangshi reviving at the scent of a living person, his body folding into a perfect ninety-degree angle. He fumbled frantically for his phone under the pillow, his heart rate skyrocketing.

Peeking through the gap in the curtains, he saw the bright daylight outside, and his heart sank.

It felt like he’d slept for a century; he couldn’t even tell what time it was. But he’d promised to pick up Ningning at eight in the morning... If he missed it, he was so dead this time!

Last night, he and Jiangg Yao had gotten a little too intimate, losing themselves in the moment. They had been too indulgent.

He vaguely remembered opening his phone’s clock app after lying down, but then they started talking, and he must not have set the alarm before falling asleep.

Chen Yuan finally found his phone.

He pressed the power button, but it wouldn’t turn on. Finally, a low battery icon appeared.

"What’s wrong... Young Master, why are you up..." Jiangg Yao asked, woken by the commotion. She rolled over and rubbed her eyes.

"Where’s your phone? We were supposed to pick up Ningning! I think we overslept."

"My... phone is right here."

Jiangg Yao reached over to the side, not looking particularly worried. Her eyes were still hazy as she touched the drool on her cheek. The sticky, wet feeling finally jolted her awake.

She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it off.

’I didn’t even have any weird dreams, so why was I drooling...?’

"It’s 7:45!!!" Chen Yuan snatched the phone and glanced at it. In an instant, he flipped out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and gave Jiangg Yao’s butt a smack. "Hurry, hurry, hurry! She’ll be here in fifteen minutes."

"Huh? I... I’ll just put on some makeup. Young Master, don’t rush me."

"What do you mean, put on makeup?!"

...

「8:09 AM.」

In the arrivals hall of Lanjing International Airport.

The moment Chen Yuan turned on his phone and saw several Green Bubble messages and missed calls from "Ningning," despair washed over him.

He already felt guilty.

Not only had he done embarrassing things with Yaoyao last night, but he’d also bad-mouthed Ningning and slept in what was supposed to be her spot... If she ever found out.

’I would die a very, very horrible death.’

And now if he’d missed picking her up, what was his excuse going to be?

That he and Yaoyao had been too passionate last night, leaving him a bit under the weather? That he’d held the adorable Yaoyao and slept straight through till morning, completely forgetting about the airport?

’That would be an even more horrible death!’

With trembling fingers, Chen Yuan opened the Green Bubble chat. He felt the tragic sorrow of a hero marching to his doom, his mind racing to come up with an excuse.

The messages from Ningning, sent at 6:30, came into view:

「I’m at the airport」

「Good morning, Chen (cute)」

「Just got through security. Bought a cup of coffee.」

The picture showed Jiangg Ning’s slender, delicate fingers wrapped around a paper cup. It was a lovely sight.

「Just got a notification, looks like the flight is delayed. If you see this, don’t come so early. Rest a little longer.」

「little_bunny_throwing_flowers.jpg」

Reading this, Chen Yuan’s heart was a tangle of emotions.

’What a gentle girl Ningning is,’ he thought. ’She’s always thinking of me, telling me to rest well.’ Little did she know, at that very moment, he had been sleeping comfortably in Jiangg Yao’s arms.

Swallowing his guilt, Chen Yuan continued to read.

「Confirmed, it’s delayed. We only just took off. I’ll probably get in after 8:30.」

「I just called you, but you didn’t pick up.」

「Sorry to make you wait a little longer, Chen.」

「Miss you」

「See you in Lanjing...」

Chen Yuan let out a huge sigh of relief. He’d been brought back from the dead. He patted his chest to calm his racing heart.

So those calls had just been to tell him about the delay, that he shouldn’t come so early.

It was a true near-death experience.

A moment ago, he had been breaking out in a cold sweat.

After all, Chen Yuan was still inexperienced. This was his first real relationship, which was why he felt so guilty. It just went to show that deep down, he was a truly good man.

Even now, he was berating himself for indulging in the sweet bliss of Yaoyao’s arms.

He was silent for a long time.

He didn’t even take the breakfast milk Jiangg Yao offered him, instead staring intently at the arrivals gate. His gaze was so fixed it was as if he were trying to see right through it.

This made Jiangg Yao look at him with a hint of petulant resentment.

She couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment, like a consort who’d fallen out of favor the moment the empress arrived.

...

Gradually, the air in the waiting hall grew hot under the direct sunlight. Some people moved into the shade to escape it, while those who remained standing had to use hats or other items for cover.

Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the same spot, each person waiting anxiously for their loved one to appear.

"Young Master, why don’t we go sit over there? We might be waiting for a while," Jiangg Yao asked him.

"No, it’s fine. What if Ningning comes out and can’t find us? She might get worried."

"Hmph..."

Jiangg Yao would be lying if she said she wasn’t envious of her sister. She wondered if Chen Yuan would be this attentive if it were her he was waiting for.

Poor girls in love, always caught up in comparisons.

"They’re coming!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned toward the narrow exit.

Sure enough, passengers with suitcases began to appear, one after another. Chen Yuan instinctively stood on his tiptoes to get a better look, and his eyes quickly locked onto a single figure.

The young woman was pulling an off-white suitcase and carrying a leather handbag, walking over with a light spring in her step.

Even from a distance, Jiangg Yao recognized her sister a few seconds before Chen Yuan did.

She quickly waved and called out, "Sister! We’re over here!"

Jiangg Ning’s pace quickened, and a gentle, flower-like smile blossomed on her face, stunning those who looked her way.

Watching Jiangg Ning approach in her casual, relaxed attire, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but wave as well. Their eyes met and held, completely ignoring Jiangg Yao, who stood to the side.

She was dressed very differently today, in a pair of casual, off-white flared pants with slits at the hem. On top, she wore a loose sweatshirt similar to a baseball jersey, along with a hat. Her makeup was simple, yet it made her look utterly enchanting.

At first glance, she looked like a young woman full of youthful energy, fresh out of college and just entering the workforce.

But upon closer inspection, one could also see a dignified and composed grace about her.

Ningning was truly one of a kind. She was easily distinguishable from other women. Just looking at her made you feel that life was beautiful and worth savoring slowly.

Chen Yuan smoothly took Jiangg Ning’s suitcase and handbag from her. It was a completely natural gesture. Then he tossed the handbag to Jiangg Yao.

"How did things go with your degree program? Any trouble?"

"It went very smoothly, Chen. I never expected to get registered without a single obstacle. It was exactly what I’d hoped for."

"That’s good. Are you hungry? Did you only have that one cup of coffee this morning? We could go get something to eat."

Jiangg Yao watched her "little Young Master" fussing over her sister, the two of them so close they were practically whispering in each other’s ears.

A complex series of emotions flickered across her face.

A moment ago, Chen Yuan had carelessly tossed her sister’s handbag at her, and she had scrambled to catch it like an eager puppy, afraid to let it drop, nearly tripping in the process.

’No one cared.’

’No one paid any attention.’

’This new couple is getting all lovey-dovey right in front of me.’

’Seriously, there’s another person here!!!’
