Bai Ningning felt that Qin Yue was acting strangely today.
In her daily life, the big sister had never had a day like this, gently holding her small hand and trimming her nails bit by bit.
Not only was she trimming, but she was also commenting on Bai Ningning's small hands while doing it.
"Pretty white and smooth, feels nice to touch, just a bit small, but quite good."
"The proportions are nice; overall, the fingers are long, but a bit thin, hehe."
Bai Ningning looked at her expressionlessly.
At first glance, it seemed like she was giving an objective evaluation, but upon closer thought, something felt off.
"White is really white, smooth and shiny, just like your pillow. But it's small and thin; there's nothing to be done, hands are just this size."
Bai Ningning seemed to catch on to something.
The earlier compliments and evaluations were just a formality; you just wanted to emphasize that last sentence, right?
After using the method of raising first and then suppressing, Qin Yue employed a comparison technique. She stretched out her own delicate hand and compared it with Bai Ningning's tender little hand.
"Look, yours is a bit smaller and shorter than mine," Qin Yue smirked, "It's very obvious; you can tell at a glance."
Bai Ningning couldn't hold back: "But in terms of proportions, they're about the same."
Qin Yue was a tall big sister, so her hands were naturally a bit larger than Bai Ningning's, who looked like a middle school student. Both of their fingers were beautiful, slender, and long, white and smooth as jade.
"But small is still small; proportions are just an excuse," Qin Yue sneered, "Do you think you're in the Olympic weightlifting competition? Divided by weight class?"
Bai Ningning pouted, expressionless: "Okay, you're right."
You're right, do you know why?
"And," Qin Yue's mood brightened, "I'm inherently a bit more advanced, so your disadvantage is even greater."
Bai Ningning blinked in confusion, a bit lost.
More advanced? What does that mean?
She knew "tall" meant taller, but…
Qin Yue didn't explain further and continued trimming Bai Ningning's small hand. This time, she sped up and became much quieter.
Calming down, Qin Yue reflected a bit on herself; she had been too obvious and too eager just now. Being so keen to point out her own advantages made her seem a bit insecure, as if she had never won.
Oh, indeed, she had never won, so it was fine.
After trimming the long nails and smoothing the edges, Qin Yue tossed the nail clipper aside and leaned back.
"All done."
......
[Qin Xin]: But, my sister has things to do this afternoon.
Qin Xin sent this reply.
[Su Le]: If she's busy this afternoon, then so be it. We're only coming tomorrow morning; she can't be busy until tomorrow, can she?
[Qin Xin]: That's not the case; she can finish before the evening.
Qin Xin recalled what her sister had said before leaving. To be honest, even without listening to her words, based on personal endurance, an afternoon should be enough. If it goes on longer, it might exhaust her future.
[Su Le]: Then that's fine; see you tomorrow morning.
Qin Xin held her phone, hesitating to say anything.
She could finish tonight, but would her sister really be able to get up tomorrow morning?
Although she said she would get up to have dinner together, she didn't specify which day's dinner.
......
Bai Ningning tilted her head: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing much, I just want you to put yourself in my shoes," Qin Yue looked up at her, "Let me ask you, do you think I've always been lacking in this area?"
Bai Ningning opened her mouth slightly, hesitating to speak.
How to put it, you are overestimating yourself. What does it mean to be lacking in ability? Having some ability but not enough is what you call "lacking."
You're not completely incapable, but it's just barely there—a tiny bit.
However, emotional intelligence came into play. Bai Ningning thought carefully and chose a more tactful way to say it.
"Don't worry," she said, "You have a lot of room for improvement."
"Hehe."
Qin Yue wasn't angry; she just let out a cold laugh. "I think it's easy for you to talk while laying down… but would you still feel the same if you were standing?"
"?" Bai Ningning tilted her head.
"Come, today I'll let you experience it for yourself," Qin Yue adjusted into a more elegant reclining position. "Just how exhausting and tough it usually is for me."
Bai Ningning looked at her posture, then at her freshly manicured nails, and suddenly... understood.
"Are you saying that today," she raised her small hand, "I should take over?"
"Obviously, what else?" Qin Yue pouted. "Do you think I'm trimming your nails just for fun? Or am I giving you a manicure?"
Confirming the information, Bai Ningning felt a mix of emotions inside, with the good feelings outweighing the bad.
"I didn't expect you to be willing to make such a decision," she rubbed her small hands, "Are you really going to do it?"
Bai Ningning truly didn't expect today to be a surprise; wow, big sister really is a surprise.
Qin Yue was too lazy to confirm with her repeatedly, just hummed a couple of times.
It was a bit like how Bai Ningning usually whined.
Bai Ningning leaned forward a bit, thought for a moment, and advised: "My... output might be a bit high, so bear with me."
Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You think your output is high? Didn't I just compare everything bit by bit?" Qin Yue laughed uncontrollably. "Since when do heroes who do needlework have high damage output?"
She finally understood why Bai Ningning liked to say these things; it was really enjoyable.
Bai Ningning was taken aback for a moment, took out her phone, searched for a moment, and showed it to her: "There really is."
On the screen was a girl in a maid outfit, holding large scissors, looking somewhat cute.
"A new top laner released not long ago, version T1, team fight T0, famous for explosive output," Bai Ningning said seriously, "Also does needlework."
Isn't that right? Even the ultimate ability icon is a needle.
"So what?" Qin Yue said dismissively.
She had already compared attack ranges; Bai Ningning couldn't match her. The little girl looked delicate and weak, and her attack power was definitely not high.
In terms of defense, it was also said to be not as profound as her own.
Although Qin Yue had faced repeated defeats, she had always suffered from being the one to attack. In this version, which focuses on defense and counterattacks, the key is to kite, and attack range is the most important factor, while Bai Ningning was completely at a disadvantage.
Even if Qin Yue didn't have the Hextech equipment, as a well-known kiting hero with defensive advantages, could she let Bai Ningning, who was short-ranged, fight against long-range?
Ha!
"Come on, hurry up," Qin Yue flipped her hair back, revealing her delicate profile, "Don't waste time, I promised Qin Xin that we would go out for dinner together tonight."
Her confident demeanor left Bai Ningning momentarily stunned.
Is it true? Is big sister's defense really that strong?
"Then, should I come?"
"Come!"
Hurry up, the advantage is mine!
