Tonight We Feast on BBQ

“Sister, you're so sly! You're the one who loves red-braised pork the most!”

Shen Qianqian heard this and seemed to realize that her mischievous older sister had returned once again.

Shen Yiyue, who had already reached the bathroom door, shrugged her shoulders.

“I like both, I like both~”

Then she pushed the door and stepped into the bathroom.

Turning on the shower, warm water cascaded down her hair and onto the floor, instantly washing away the damp and cold feeling from her body.

Only today, no one was there to help her wash her hair.

As dusk enveloped the earth, Shen Yiyue tilted her head and, through the blurred frosted glass, could only barely make out that the sun had set.

After her bath, she would need to prepare dinner for her sister and herself.

...

As the sun fully dipped below the horizon, the streets grew dark.

Without streetlights, the entire city plunged into a state of obscurity under the cover of darkness.

“Don’t you need to turn on the lights?”

Sitting in the passenger seat of the SUV, Ning Yu gazed straight ahead. With her enhanced mental capabilities, she could still discern obstacles.

“No need.”

Ning Yu noticed that Ning Xuan had donned a pair of special glasses at some point, understanding her reasoning.

It was best not to turn on the lights, as they would be particularly conspicuous in the dark city.

The two didn’t drive for much longer before they found a high-rise luxury hotel to use as their temporary lodging for the night.

Ning Yu habitually headed to the top floor, and Ning Xuan followed her lead.

When Ning Yu pushed open the door to a room, Ning Xuan followed right behind.

“Hmm? Are you planning to stay with me?”

Ning Yu turned to look at her.

“If it bothers you, Sister, I can go next door?”

At Ning Yu’s words, Ning Xuan began to retreat, ready to head to the adjacent room.

“Never mind, just stay here. I have some questions for you.”

Before Ning Xuan could even reach the door, Ning Yu stopped her.

Hearing Ning Yu’s words, Ning Xuan revealed a barely perceptible smile and stepped back in, gently closing the door.

The large suite seemed designed for a family, with even a small room partitioned off, likely meant for a child.

However, Ning Yu didn’t think much of it. She went to the smaller room, retrieving a change of clothes from her system space.

It was her usual black off-shoulder tank dress for casual wear.

Considering the weather had turned colder, she also pulled out a simple, plain outer jacket from her space.

Just as she was about to head to the bathroom to change, she suddenly noticed Ning Xuan watching her.

It dawned on her that Ning Xuan didn’t have any clean clothes to change into, and her current outfit was a bit dirty.

“Do you want to...”

Since they were about the same size, Ning Yu was about to offer her own clothes.

“It’s fine, Sister.”

Ning Xuan had already caught on to Ning Yu’s intention. Her body lit up with familiar mechanical patterns, and her original light-colored combat suit transformed into a darker material.

The material then reshaped itself into a deep red and white lace dress.

All traces of dirt on the previous outfit vanished, leaving it as good as new.

The scene was like a magical girl transformation.

Ning Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit envious—not in a romantic sense, but simply because she wanted a similar device for herself.

“Do you like it, Sister?”

She held up her skirt, spinning around like a shy girl showing off her new dress, presenting it to Ning Yu.

“Do whatever you like.”

Ning Yu wasn’t interested in a “magical girl dress-up” game and walked straight into the bathroom to change.

When Ning Yu emerged after changing, she found that Ning Xuan had switched into the exact same black off-shoulder tank dress as her.

However, Ning Xuan didn’t seem to feel the cold, so she didn’t copy Ning Yu’s outer jacket.

This small difference made it a bit easier to tell them apart, otherwise, Ning Yu felt like she was looking at her reflection.

“Can I install just the clothing function of your prosthetic system?”

Ning Yu couldn’t help but ask, curious. If she could have this, she wouldn’t need to carry clothes in her system space anymore.

She could change whenever and wherever she wanted, and she imagined Shen Yiyue might get addicted to it.

But thinking of that, Ning Yu decided against it.

“Pfft!”

Ning Xuan was tickled by Ning Yu’s whimsical idea and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Sister, you’re sometimes really adorable.”

“But prosthetics aren’t exactly a good thing, you know.”

Ning Xuan shook her head, indicating that Ning Yu’s idea wasn’t feasible.

Ning Yu had already expected this outcome and didn’t press further.

It was now close to 9 PM, and the two of them hadn’t eaten yet.

Ning Yu had intended to just grab a bread and be done with it, but something crossed her mind, and instead of pulling out the bread, she retrieved an alcohol stove.

“Sister, are you going to cook?”

Ning Xuan watched Ning Yu’s actions with curiosity.

“Just to use up some of my stock.”

Ning Yu set up the alcohol stove and placed a grill on top.

Then, as if performing magic, she pulled out frozen meat, simple vegetables, and seasonings from her system space.

Some were things she had carried with her, and others were items she had exchanged at the Fangzhou base before leaving.

Ning Xuan watched as Ning Yu conjured various items from seemingly nowhere, almost suspecting that Ning Yu had some magical pocket hidden in her abdomen.

But for now, she attributed these strange occurrences to the Moon Princess, not dwelling on it too much.

Seeing Ning Yu pull out metal skewers, she began to thread small pieces of meat and vegetables onto them in an orderly fashion.

As for Blood Kite, it now served as a makeshift knife, slicing ingredients in the air and placing them into a clean container on the floor.

Although Blood Kite never got dirty, Ning Yu still gave it a thorough rinse before using it, unsure if it would have any complaints.

But even if it did, it couldn’t voice them, since it couldn’t speak.

By now, Ning Xuan had figured out what Ning Yu was up to and was momentarily stunned by her quirky actions.

“Why are you just standing there? Come help with the skewering.”

Ning Yu called out to her.

“By the way, are your taste and digestive systems still functional?”

As if suddenly remembering something, the meticulous Ning Yu posed another question.

“Of course, they’re still there, just like the pain system.”

Ning Xuan then joined Ning Yu, sitting beside her as the sisters began threading the meat and vegetables together.

“Tonight, we’re having barbecue.”
