Senior Sister, Shut Up! - Chapter 98: I Will Personally Develop the Confession Plan for Junior Brother to Execute

After Jiang Miao blanched the ribs, he placed them with the cut corn, goji berries, and dates.

He poured out the water from the pot, filled it with fresh cold water, brought it to a boil again, and then added all the ingredients, along with a few drops of vinegar.

He covered the pot and said to Senior Sister, “Don’t add the winter melon yet. Let it simmer for half an hour first. Otherwise, it’ll get too mushy.”

“Oh,” Su Huaizhou replied absentmindedly, looking at Junior Brother’s reaction while thinking.

Now that the pork rib soup was simmering and the rice was cooking, it would take around an hour to finish.

It didn’t make sense to start stir-frying the pork too early, or it would get cold by the time the rice and soup were ready.

During this time, Junior Brother should have other plans, right?

While pondering this, Su Huaizhou saw him already slicing the pork belly and finely chopping the green and red peppers for preparation.

“I’ll stir-fry the pork when the soup is almost ready,” Jiang Miao said after prepping the ingredients. “Let’s take a break for now.”

“Mm-hmm.” She nodded enthusiastically, full of anticipation, even ready to close her eyes.

As a result, she watched in disbelief as Junior Brother took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen.

He left!

Hey!

What about the confession?!

Su Huaizhou was dumbfounded as she watched him exit the kitchen, slip back into the guest room, and close the door behind him. There was no further movement.

The next moment, her phone vibrated.

[Peach Jam]: Boss…

She quickly took out her phone. Upon seeing the message, she controlled her frustration and anger and replied.

[Congee Boss]: What happened? Did you confess?

[Peach Jam]: No…

[Congee Boss]: ???

[Congee Boss]: Didn’t you say you’d confess while cooking?

[Congee Boss]: Don’t chicken out!

Su Huaizhou questioned him angrily, wishing she could grab his ear and force him to confess right away.

[Peach Jam]: I got too nervous… so I came up with an excuse… Then I didn’t dare to continue…

[Congee Boss]: …

[Congee Boss]: You’re too useless.

[Congee Boss]: I already told you that if you confess now, it’s a done deal with your senior sister. Why are you so timid?

[Peach Jam]: I got too nervous…

[Peach Jam]: Forget about it today. The timing isn’t right.

[Peach Jam]: Tomorrow!

[Peach Jam]: Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll try again!

Su Huaizhou looked at the message from Peach Jam, both annoyed and amused.

What the heck are you doing?

You’ve already decided to confess but changed your mind at the last minute?

Do you know how anxious I was waiting for you just now?

You’ve already hugged and touched me, but you can still hold back this point?

[Congee Boss]: Are you sure you’re going to confess tomorrow afternoon?

[Peach Jam]: Of course!

[Peach Jam]: I gained experience this time. I’ll definitely succeed next time.

[Congee Boss]: When in the afternoon? Be clear, and I’ll give you advice.

[Peach Jam]: Hmm… I haven’t thought about it yet.

[Congee Boss]: What do you and your senior sister usually do in the afternoon? Think it over and find the right opportunity.

[Peach Jam]: In the afternoon… I’m writing, and she’s in her room. I don’t know what she’s doing.

[Congee Boss]: Then you can try inviting her to your room to watch you write.

[Peach Jam]: That won’t work! I can’t write with someone beside me.

[Congee Boss]: Idiot!

[Congee Boss]: The point is to find an excuse to get your senior sister into your room.

[Congee Boss]: Then you can ask her to check your latest, unreleased chapter, saying you need her help to proofread it.

[Congee Boss]: And while she’s focused, suddenly hug her from behind! Confess boldly! Seal the deal!

[Peach Jam]: That actually sounds pretty good?

[Congee Boss]: Of course. Who do you think I am?

Su Huaizhou smirked and gave herself a mental thumbs up for her quick-wittedness. As expected of me, I came up with a brilliant idea without even trying.

[Peach Jam]: It’s settled then! Charge!

[Congee Boss]: Go, go, go!

In the guest bedroom, Jiang Miao lay on his side on the bed, holding his phone, laughing so hard he looked like a shrimp.

He eagerly took screenshots of Congee Boss’s messages, feeling immensely pleased.

The thrill of playing with Senior Sister in the palm of his hand was really interesting.

No wonder Senior Sister has been hiding it from me and playing tricks on me using the Congee Boss identity. Turns out this is so fun!

It used to be her turn.

Now, it’s my turn!

Hehe~

Jiang Miao chuckled smugly to himself. The more he looked at the chat history, the more amused he felt.

In any case, his social death was inevitable. His only goal now was to drag Senior Sister to a higher level of social death so that he wouldn’t look as bad in comparison.

…

Dinner.

Jiang Miao placed the freshly stir-fried pork on a plate, grabbed a big bowl, and poured the cooked winter melon, corn, and pork rib soup into it.

He carried the two dishes to the dining table and watched Senior Sister bring out bowls filled with rice and chopsticks.

They sat across from each other, picked up their utensils, and began to eat.

Su Huaizhou eagerly picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and chewed it with satisfaction.

After swallowing a bite of rice rice, she immediately gave Junior Brother a thumbs up. “Awesome! It’s a hundred times better than delivery!”

“It’s freshly made. Of course it’s a bit tastier.” Jiang Miao said modestly, “Honestly, it’s just average.”

“I don’t care. It’s delicious.” Su Huaizhou picked up two more pieces of stir-fried pork and ate with relish. “I’ve decided. Junior Brother, you will be my personal chef from now on~”

“There aren’t many places to cook at school.” He laughed.

“That’s true.” She suddenly looked a bit shy. She twirled a strand of hair, looked away, and said softly, “But this place isn’t far from school. We could come here on weekends.”

Even though Jiang Miao already knew how Senior Sister felt about him, hearing her suggest something so enticing still made him feel as though she had struck his soft spot, sending a tingly warmth through his heart.

“If you don’t mind… I have no objections…” He looked away nervously. “This way, it’s more convenient to gather material too.”

“Y-yeah,” Su Huaizhou quickly replied. “If you need to gather material, we can come here on weekends.”

“As long as you don’t mind, Senior Sister.”

“Why would I?” She smiled and blinked playfully at him. “This also makes it easier for me to lock you in a small dark room. If you don’t write, I’ll whip you!”

Jiang Miao: “…”

…

After dinner, Su Huaizhou cleared the table and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Jiang Miao returned to the guest room to continue writing.

Due to the incident in the afternoon, his focus had been entirely on Senior Sister and Congee Boss, and he almost forgot that today was actually the day his novel went premium.

After writing and releasing another chapter, he quickly opened the author’s dashboard to check the subscription data for the first chapter.

2,037.

From noon to 7 p.m., over the course of seven hours, the initial subscription count had surpassed two thousand.

There were still 17 hours until noon tomorrow.

He was only 1,000 subscriptions away from the high-quality work threshold.

Although there seemed to be plenty of time left, the first hour after a premium release usually saw the greatest increase.

After three hours, the subscription growth rate would visibly decline.

So whether Jiang Miao’s novel could surpass the high-quality line for initial subscriptions remained uncertain.

Everything hinged on tonight’s subsequent subscription growth.

With this thought in mind, he continued writing until 9 p.m. and finished another chapter.

But this time, he wasn’t in a hurry to release it. Instead, he stood up, walked to the master bedroom, and knocked on the door.

“What’s up?” Su Huaizhou opened the door and peeked out curiously.

“Senior Sister, I just finished a new chapter. I’m going to take a shower now. Could you please help me proofread it?”

Hearing Junior Brother’s request, she felt a jolt in her heart.

No way, no way…

Is Junior Brother unable to hold back anymore and plans to confess tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow afternoon?

And he even wants to shower first.

But I haven’t showered yet…

If I had known, I would have taken a shower earlier.

Su Huaizhou’s face flushed red, and some shy thoughts began to swirl in her mind.

“Senior Sister?”

“Oh, okay!” She returned to her senses. “I’ll help you proofread. Go ahead and shower first~”

Then she watched Junior Brother walk into the bathroom.

Once inside the guest room, she sat down at the desk and looked at the latest chapter he had just finished writing.

But she wasn’t in the mood to read at all.

Her mind was already busy fantasizing about the scene after Junior Brother came out of the bathroom.

Normally, after he finished writing, she would read it immediately…

Ah~!

I’m going to die!

What if Junior Brother confesses later and kisses me? What should I do?

And, and… what if he comes out only wearing a bathrobe? What if he isn’t wearing anything underneath?

If, if that happens…

Su Huaizhou covered her face with her hands and twisted around in the chair, unable to control herself.
