Teasing the Strawberry-Flavored Baby Alpha (ABO, GL) - Chapter 25

Chapter 25

When Shen Tian and Lu Ningwan got home from school, Lin Yinan had already finished school and completed all her homework. At that moment, she was sitting in the living room like a little adult, watching an animated show.

Shen Tian led Lu Ningwan inside and saw Lin Yinan watching TV so intently that she deliberately stood not far from the television to tease her.

Lin Yinan was already seven and a half years old and in the second grade of elementary school. When she saw Shen Tian blocking her view of the animated show, her little brows furrowed slightly. In a childish, milky voice, she expressed her dissatisfaction to Shen Tian. “Sister, you’re blocking me.”

Seeing her own sister grinning and staring at her, Lin Yinan turned her pleading gaze toward Lu Ningwan. “Little Lu Sister, look—Sister is bullying me again. She’s so old, yet so childish!”

Lu Ningwan laughed at Lin Yinan’s tattling little expression. She beckoned to Shen Tian and said with a chuckle, “Tiantian, stop teasing Yina now. Didn’t you say you’d give me a massage when we got back? Come on, come on—let’s go to the room.”

“Okay, I’ll give Little Lu Sister a massage. You just behave and keep watching.” With that, she hurriedly led Lu Ningwan upstairs.

Lin Yinan glanced at her unreliable sister and shook her head like a little adult. Little Lu Sister was the reliable one, after all.

Lu Ningwan pinched the palm of Shen Tian’s hand and said with a smile, “You just love teasing Yina.”

“Yeah, my little sister was so cute when she was little. She used to stick to me so much— she couldn’t stand even a moment without playing with me. But look at her now; all she loves is watching animated shows.” Shen Tian complained about her sister.

“You’re just like a kid who hasn’t grown up.” Lu Ningwan looked at Shen Tian and said with amusement.

“Yeah, I never grow up around Little Lu Sister.” Shen Tian said with a bold, righteous laugh.

Once they were back in the room, Shen Tian sat familiarly on the edge of Lu Ningwan’s bed and patted the spot next to her. “Little Lu Sister, come sit. I’ll give you a pinch.”

Lu Ningwan didn’t refuse. She sat calmly beside Shen Tian, her brows and eyes filled with smiles as she watched the girl in front of her pinch her arms for a while, then kneel on the bed to pinch her shoulders. “Little Lu Sister, lie down on the bed—I’ll pinch your back.” Shen Tian said enthusiastically.

“Okay, it’ll feel just right to relax.” A smile played at the corners of Lu Ningwan’s lips as she lay down on the bed.

Shen Tian swung one leg over Lu Ningwan’s waist and supported her body to pinch Lu Ningwan’s back. Usually, when she pinched for Mommy, she sat right on Mommy’s body, but Little Lu Sister was so slim— she couldn’t bear to sit on her to do it.

Shen Tian’s movements as she pinched Lu Ningwan’s back weren’t too heavy. She had already practiced controlling her strength perfectly on Mommy, so now pinching for Lu Ningwan felt effortless.

Lu Ningwan lay there as the muscles in her back, tense from the whole day, relaxed under Shen Tian’s kneading and pressing. She felt so comfortable that she narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Little Lu Sister, how’s that? Does it feel good?” Shen Tian looked like she was seeking praise.

Lu Ningwan turned her head with a chuckle and glanced at Shen Tian. “It feels good. My Tiantian is amazing. You’ve been pinching for quite a while now— aren’t you tired?”

Lu Ningwan couldn’t bear to let Shen Tian pinch for so long. She patted the spot next to her and said with a smile, “Come on, Tiantian— lie down. I’ll give you a pinch too.”

“It’s fine, Little Lu Sister— I’m not tired.” Shen Tian’s hands were actually getting a bit sore after pinching for a while, but she wanted to keep going for Little Lu Sister.

“Be good and let me give my Tiantian a pinch too.” When Lu Ningwan saw Shen Tian wouldn’t stop, she simply sat up a little and pulled Shen Tian down from her body. The two of them ended up laughing and tussling together.

“Be good, or I’ll get mad. Lie down properly.” Lu Ningwan had Shen Tian lie down just like she had a moment ago.

Shen Tian knew, of course, that Lu Ningwan’s talk of getting mad was just to tease her, but she still lay down obediently.

Lu Ningwan mimicked Shen Tian’s earlier position, straddling Shen Tian’s lower back, and used her hands just like Shen Tian had to press Shen Tian’s back.

Shen Tian rested her face on her hands, which she had stacked together, and turned to look at Lu Ningwan. Seeing Lu Ningwan hovering over her lower back like that, Shen Tian worried she would get tired and quickly said, “Little Lu Sister, you can sit on my back to press. This way is too tiring.”

Lu Ningwan’s ear roots turned slightly red. Sit on her? She hurriedly shook her head, still feeling it was a bit strange. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke. “No need— I’m not a porcelain doll. I’m not that delicate.”

“How could you not be? Little Lu Sister is precious to me!” Shen Tian laughed as she retorted.

Lu Ningwan felt her lips curve upward involuntarily at Shen Tian’s coaxing. She reached out and lightly patted the sweet-talking Shen Tian. “You— your mouth is like it’s coated in honey. You just know how to coax people.”

“No way— I only coax Little Lu Sister~” Shen Tian lay on the bed but still managed to act spoiled.

Lin Qinghan knocked on the door, pushed it open, and came in to call Shen Tian and Lu Ningwan downstairs for dinner. She saw Lu Ningwan straddling her little one’s lower back, giving the little one a back massage.

When Lu Ningwan saw Lin Qinghan come in, her ear roots flushed slightly hot, and she hurried down from Shen Tian’s body. A bit flustered, she explained, “Mommy, I was giving Tiantian a back massage.”

Shen Tian lay on the bed and nodded, chiming in. “Yeah, Little Lu Sister’s massage feels pretty good.”

Lin Qinghan had just come to call her two little ones downstairs for dinner. Seeing Lu Ningwan so flustered, she laughed and said, “I know. Ningwan, why are you so nervous? You two hurry and change into your pajamas. Wang Auntie has the meal ready— go downstairs to eat.”

“Got it, Mommy. I’ll go back to my room to change.” Shen Tian did a carp flip and bounced up from Lu Ningwan’s bed. She didn’t forget to say to Lu Ningwan, “Little Lu Sister, wait for me after you change, and we’ll go down together.”

Lin Qinghan shook her head with a chuckle and teased her little one. “Tiantian, you’re so clingy. If I were Ningwan, I’d find you annoying. You can’t stay away from her for a second.”

Lu Ningwan had calmed down by now. She smiled and said, “It’s fine, Mommy. Tiantian being like this is pretty good.”

When Shen Tian heard Lu Ningwan say that, she looked at her own mommy with smug satisfaction. “See? Little Lu Sister likes me like this.”

Lin Qinghan pursed her lips in mild disdain. “Only Ningwan puts up with you like that.”

Shen Tian didn’t get upset at her mommy’s disdain. She happily went back to her room to change clothes.

After Shen Tian and Lin Qinghan had both left, Lu Ningwan sat on the bed thinking about what had just happened. She had only been giving Tiantian a back pinch— why had she felt so flustered and shy?

Lu Ningwan thought about it for a while and felt a bit confused. She couldn’t figure out why, so in the end, she simply chalked it up to her having thin skin.

On Shen Tian’s side, she changed into her pajamas and quickly washed her hands before heading back to find Lu Ningwan.

After the two of them reached fifth grade, Shen Xian and Lin Qinghan had prepared a separate room for Lu Ningwan, right next to Shen Tian’s. After all, girls needed their own private space once they grew up. Plus, in this world, there was a secondary differentiation between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. Undifferentiated ordinary people were what people usually called betas, but they could also differentiate into alphas and omegas. The pheromones of those two genders attracted and influenced each other, so private space was even more necessary.

Shen Tian knocked on Lu Ningwan’s door. “Little Lu Sister, I’m coming in.”

Lu Ningwan had also changed into her pajamas by then. She said with a chuckle, “Come in. When have I ever not let you in?”

“Hehe, that’s true. Let’s go.” With that, Shen Tian took Lu Ningwan’s hand and went downstairs excitedly.

When the two of them went downstairs, the little one, Lin Yinan, was already sitting primly at the dining table like a little adult.

When Shen Tian saw her little sister, her eyes lit up. She led Lu Ningwan over to sit next to the little one.

Lin Yinan cast a pleading gaze at Lu Ningwan. “Little Lu Sister, sit next to me. Sister is naughty and always likes to tease me, but I’ve grown up now. I won’t humor her.” The little one said solemnly.

Lu Ningwan chuckled and caught Shen Tian’s hand as it reached out to pinch Lin Yinan’s little face. “I’ll sit between you two. Both of you behave and eat. Tiantian, no teasing your sister.”

“Fine, as long as I can be next to Little Lu Sister.” Shen Tian raised her brows at the little one.

The little one solemnly retorted, “Childish.”

Shen Xian watched the interactions among the three daughters in the family with amusement. They were the children she and Qinghan had raised, after all— all so cute!

If the three young ones were ranked by how enjoyably they ate, Shen Tian still ate the most sweetly. Sure enough, after finishing the meal, she had already eaten two custard buns.

Shen Xian was pretty happy watching her little one eat so heartily, but she worried Shen Tian would overeat. “Tiantian, if you can’t eat more, don’t. I see you’ve had plenty— don’t stuff yourself.”

The little one’s hand was already reaching for the third custard bun. When she heard Mommy say that, she reluctantly let go.

Lu Ningwan chuckled and took a custard bun, broke it in half, and gave half to Shen Tian. “One half each. After this, no more.”

“Okay.” Shen Tian happily took the half custard bun and ate it up, chatting and laughing with Lu Ningwan.

At bedtime that evening, Lin Qinghan leaned against the pillow playing on her phone. She thought about the two little ones massaging each other’s backs that day.

She turned, propped herself up, and looked at Shen Xian. Shen Xian saw Lin Qinghan looking at her and asked, “What’s up? Miss me?” She reached out to hug Lin Qinghan.

Lin Qinghan put a hand on Shen Xian’s chest to stop her and lightly patted her. “In your dreams. I’m talking about something serious.”

Shen Xian nodded. “Mm-hmm, go ahead.”

“It’s about Tiantian and Ningwan. Gender classifications here are so complicated, and it’s normal for girls to like girls. Tiantian and Ningwan get along so well— do you think the two little ones might be dating early?” Lin Qinghan thought about it and said with some concern.

Shen Xian nearly burst into tears from laughing. Did she not know her own little one?

“Tiantian? Dating early? She’d probably care more about missing out on two custard buns today. You’re overthinking it— that kid only has family and food in her eyes. They’re just close like sisters.” Shen Xian said, holding back her laughter.

Lin Qinghan thought about her own little one and slowly nodded. “True, Tiantian is definitely more interested in food, and Ningwan is so well-behaved.”

Lin Qinghan lay flat and rolled over, admitting she had overthought it.

“Now can I hug you?” Shen Xian said as she went to hug Lin Qinghan again. This time, she succeeded right away.

On the other side, the little one and Lu Ningwan previewed some lessons for a bit and played for a while before heading back to their own rooms.

After taking a bath and coming out, Shen Tian lay on the bed, pouted, and thought about how she had eaten one and a half fewer custard buns today. Wang Auntie’s custard buns were so delicious— she wouldn’t overeat, of course. Tomorrow morning, she had to make up for it by eating a few more!
