V2: Chapter 100: Miss Tentacle's Self-PUA
Liang Di could tell from the other person's sarcastic tone. She'd been with Liang Lin for so long; she could understand anything Liang Lin said, but she couldn't understand what she'd done to upset her older sister.
"Sister Liang Lin, you, you," Liang Di stammered, cautiously approaching her, glancing at the wicked girl out of the corner of her eye, then swallowed hard. "Sister Liang Lin, are you... are you angry?"
"Angry?!?!"
Liang Lin suddenly raised her voice several octaves, glaring fiercely at Liang Di.
"Angry?! How could I be angry?! What nonsense are you spouting?! Where did you get the idea that I'm angry? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
After this barrage of questions, Liang Di obediently shut her mouth, not daring to utter a sound. She knew that this girl was definitely angry again, but she wouldn't say why she was angry; she was definitely sulking again.
Sigh, she had previously mocked Octaville for being henpecked, and now, she was about to become henpecked herself.
No, that's not right, she was already henpecked, not about to become one.
How pathetic, how lamentable!
Liang Di sighed deeply, shaking her head silently, worried about her future.
We weren't even together yet, and Liang Lin dared to throw tantrums at me like this. What would happen after we got together? Would I have no status whatsoever, kneeling on a washboard every day? Ugh, that kind of life… oh well, as long as Liang Lin was happy, that was enough.
A single tear rolled down Liang Di's cheek; she was prepared to "face death."
"Liang Lin, as long as you're happy, I'll do anything."
Perhaps infected by her own emotions, Liang Di suddenly grabbed Liang Lin's hand, her voice filled with deep affection and boundless love, and said this.
Liang Lin: "??"
Her expression was utterly bewildered.
What's wrong with this guy? Why did she suddenly say something I couldn't understand? It was one thing to say it before, it's not embarrassing at home, but now it's in public, everyone's watching.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed Liang Di eyes were red-rimmed and there were tears on her face.
Liang Lin panicked.
Yeah, it must be because I was too harsh earlier, and then this crybaby started crying again. Seriously, is she made of water? Crying at the drop of a hat?
Liang Lin was speechless.
"Okay, okay, I didn't yell at you, don't overthink it." Liang Lin hurriedly pulled her hand away. "Don't just grab my hand like that. Didn't you see I'm holding Carol? What if I knock her off?"
Liang Di nodded vigorously twice, looking at Liang Lin very seriously.
"Sister Liang Lin, I'll definitely listen to you obediently from now on and make you feel happy."
Liang Lin: "..."
Damn it, this girl has been driven crazy by my scolding; her words are becoming increasingly incoherent.
"No, are you sick?!" Liang Lin shouted loudly, drawing strange looks from the nobles who hadn't yet left. Liang Lin immediately shut her mouth.
"No... don't go crazy here, there are too many people."
That's right, these words were spoken by Liang Lin to Liang Di. She had clearly started by shouting a couple of times, but in the end, it turned into her lecturing the other girl.
Liang Lin held Carol in one arm and used her other hand to cover the other girl's mouth, pressing down hard as if she wanted to strangle Liang Di.
Liang Di, being accustomed to her behavior, didn't argue and silently nodded. Then, Liang Lin dragged and pulled her to a corner.
"Alright, stop crying. I admit, my tone was a bit harsh just now, but wasn't it because I was anxious?"
Liang Lin touched the back of her neck, her tone still irritated, but in her lifetime, she had actually managed to soften her stance with Liang Di. Well, it was a very firm softening.
However, Liang Di, who hadn't seen many kind faces, was moved to tears again.
Hmm, Sister Liang Lin is really getting gentler and gentler towards me.
Our tentacle lady is also engaging in self-pity today.
"Stop talking nonsense, I just want to know what you were thinking. You talked to her for so long, and in the end, you let her go."
Liang Di watched Hedy walk away; she had already reached the bottom of the stairs and become a small black dot.
"Sister, do you even know what 'casting a long line to catch a big fish' means?" Liang Di placed her slender fingers on the armrest, looking at Hedy with disdain. "Of course I won't let her go~ Letting her go now is because I have my own plans."
After saying this, Liang Di grabbed her sister's sleeve. "Let's go, Liang Lin, we should hurry back. Let's observe the direction Hedy left in, then get in the carriage, and I'll tell you my plan."
Although Liang Lin didn't understand, seeing Liang Di's serious expression, she realized this was important and they couldn't waste any more time talking.
"Okay."
The two girls put on their coats and hurried downstairs.
Because they were in a crowded place, Liang Di couldn't draw a teleportation array, so they had to take a carriage back.
On the way...
“You should know, Miss Hedy is a hopeless romantic.”
Liang Di looked out the window at the fleeting scenery. The carriage sped along; it was Liang Di who had instructed the driver to hurry home, as she wasn't feeling well and wanted to call a doctor.
“Hmm.”
Liang Lin nodded. “I know, but is there anything important about this?”
Liang Di shrugged, turning her gaze back to Liang Lin’s face.
“The fact that she’s hopeless in love might not be important, but the fact that she eloped with that man again today is very important.”
“Hmm?”
Liang Lin frowned. “So… she’s eloping with her lover, and you’re in such a hurry to go back, you wouldn’t be thinking of…?”
Liang Lin could probably guess Liang Di’s thoughts.
“Yes, sister, that’s exactly what I was thinking. But I think even if I don’t tell on her, her family will easily catch her and take her back.”
Liang Di shook her head. “However, just in case, even if there’s only a one in a million chance that Hedy really elopes with that man, it would be a huge loss.”
Liang Di rested her chin on her hand and continued, “Don’t let Hedy’s seemingly naive appearance fool you; she still harbors some wariness towards me.”
“As you know, my praise of her earlier lowered her guard somewhat, and since I agree with her thinking, I can legitimately visit her after she’s taken home.”
“After all… we’ve met once before.”
