Chapter 900 - 276: Confession in the Name of a Little Sister

The quiet intersection, the vehicles coming and going in the early morning aren’t too many.

The sky is already starting to brighten, Beihai’s morning is still a bit damp and chilly, and you can see white mist when breathing.

Li Yi jogged on the spot, waiting for a good while until Jiang Si’s transformation was undone on this side before she turned her head.

She displayed a nonchalant expression, as if they had just met:

"What a coincidence, do you want to jog together?"

Her mental fortitude and expression control are quite impressive.

The future is immeasurable.

Jiang Si internally compared her acting skills with those of the Twin, while shaking his head and saying, "No, I’ll go home and check on Keke first."

"Keke is still sleeping."

Li Yi stopped jogging on the spot and did some chest-expanding exercises, "She went to bed late last night, staying up waiting for you, only falling asleep when Bai Hu came back and said you’re fine. It’s better not to wake her now."

Something that Keke might indeed do.

"So let’s jog together. When we return, Keke should be awake."

"Okay."

For Jiang Si, apparently suppressing the automatic transformation isn’t that proficient yet, practicing while running is also beneficial.

Li Yi originally wanted to jog slowly while chatting with Jiang Si.

The chances for the two of them to chat alone are very rare, since most of the time, Jiang Si is nowhere to be found.

Even Keke has a hard time locating him, let alone Li Yi who is just a junior one level below.

After all, Jiang Si didn’t go to school before, it was hard to encounter him, and now he directly jumped level to take the university entrance exam with high scores, and will go straight to university when school starts, no chance to meet...

After all, Li Yi’s studies aren’t good enough to skip levels for university entrance exams, nor to attend the same university as Jiang Si.

As soon as Jiang Si took off, Li Yi knew she made a mistake.

He was running too fast!

Even though for Jiang Si it was merely a jog, without extra attention, he’d soon disappear.

There was no intention to wait for her.

Helplessly, Li Yi kept running, using a bit of magic power.

Now, she has stepped into Full Bloom, oh, now it can’t be called Full Bloom but should be called Sprout, the Magical Girl...uh, anyways, even without transformation, she can exert some of the Magical Girl’s powers.

Just like now, as long as she attaches magic power to the soles of her feet, every step leaves behind cherry blossoms, increasing speed.

Luckily Jiang Si was just jogging.

Giving it her all, and with the aid of Full Bloom... Sprout level magic power, Li Yi barely caught up with the jogging Jiang Si.

"Wow, senior, can you, slow down a bit..."

Jiang Si simply glanced at her, "Still need practice."

I’m not an athlete.

Li Yi grumbled slightly inside, but just saying it made Jiang Si slow his pace down.

Though it was still a bit fast, it was at least within the normal running range for people.

Gradually able to follow alongside Jiang Si, the slight scent of sweat from the youth wafted over, but Li Yi didn’t mind.

The two of them kept running along the road until reaching the small path by the river.

"Can you walk with me for a while? I can’t run anymore..."

Unsure if it’s because they spend so much time together or because the two girls themselves are similar, that’s why they get along so well.

To the point that sometimes Jiang Si subconsciously treats Li Yi as Keke.

Even though he doesn’t want another troublesome sister.

After stopping, the little girl behind him bent over, hands on knees, and panted for a while.

There’s really no difference from Keke before.

Or maybe being a sister, they’re all quite similar.

"Can I call you brother?"

Walking slowly, after adjusting her breathing, Li Yi looked at the shimmering river water under the gradually rising morning sun.

The courageous young girl tiptoes as she walks, trying to make herself almost as tall as her companion.

When Jiang Si glanced at her, Li Yi became a bit panicked, "Well, you see, calling you Jiang Si seems odd, quite impolite, but calling you senior feels too distant. Since I’m good friends with Keke, I thought calling you brother like her might be more suitable?"

"Where’s the suitability?"

Li Yi was somewhat speechless, only muttering inwardly:

Based on the stature, it suits perfectly...

The offensive of the address was a big failure, she had to find another way, but right now Li Yi’s mind was completely blank.

Because, just quietly following behind Jiang Si, strolling leisurely by the river, it was delightful for her.

The morning breeze whispered, the hanging willows swayed along the river, the damp leaf spread brought a fresh coolness.

Everything made Li Yi very comfortable.

"Once you go to university, you won’t return to school anymore, right?"

"Otherwise?"

"Actually, there was a time before when I went home to check, my parents’ attitude improved a lot. But, I still don’t like it, so I cut off contact and won’t return in the future."

"Oh."

"Last night, chatting with Keke while waiting for you, Keke said she actually hopes I can live with her."

"Hmm."

"I, I can cook quite well, do dishes, do laundry, I’m good at housework."

As Jiang Si walked, reaching the riverbank readying to cross the bridge, he glanced back at Li Yi, "What are you trying to say?"

Fragmented thoughts wove into fragmented words.

Like leaves falling into the river, ripples breaking the reflection.

The rising sun stretches shadows, obscuring Li Yi’s slightly bowed face, the outline on the river surface swayed mystically in the morning light, "So, I’d be a very reliable sister."
