Volume 3 Chapter 2: Who Is Cutier, a Little Brother or a Little Sister?
After Lin Yu left, Lin Lin finally dared to turn her microphone back on.
She had heard his complaint before he left. After hearing it, Lin Lin was left with only one thought—
So annoying!
Seriously, that guy…
When she turned back, the little vampire girl had only been gone for a short while, but the chat was already full of guesses that she had been ambushed offline by vampire hunters.
【Ari-chan, my Ari-chan! For you, I’ll turn into a demon and fight vampire hunters to the end!】
【Right, I’ll just turn into a nun and deal with both of you at once.】
【A nun, huh? Slurp… nun… hehehe, my nun~】
【What?! There are cute girl viewers in the little vampire’s stream? Shocking little sweet pears for ten thousand years!】
【Correct, all little sweet pears are cute girls! Hug hug~】
Thanks a lot, guys…
Lin Lin puffed her cheeks, speechless. She really had been “ganked” just now. But sadly, it wasn’t a vampire hunter. It was her little brother.
“I’m back. I had to step away for a bit just now. Ahem, let’s continue our topic from before.”
“Ah, speaking of this, it really makes me angry!”
She had just had a very “friendly” interaction with her brother, so of course she wasn’t in a good mood when talking about him.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized something and said to the viewers, “Wait a moment!”
Then she stood up, ran to her bedroom door, opened it, and looked left and right.
Phew—
Her brother wasn’t standing outside listening. Good, good.
Well, if you’re going to complain about someone, it’s better not to let them hear it.
After making sure everything was safe, she sat back down. When she glanced at the chat, the first thing she saw was an entry message.
【System message: User “Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog” has entered the stream!】
“Ah-ha, Dog Bro, good evening~ You’re a bit late today~”
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Yeah, I was a bit busy today. What are you talking about now, vampire girl?】
“Heh, Dog Bro, don’t tell me you went on a date with your little girl desk mate?”
Talking about Dog Bro and his desk mate made Lin Lin feel a bit better. But on the other side of the screen, Gao Liang shook his head and typed a reply:
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: No… well… not exactly. But it is kind of related to my desk mate.】
“What do you mean yes and no?! Well… forget it. Let’s get back to our stream topic. Ahem, today we’re talking about brothers and sisters.”
The girl blinked. Just thinking about her brother still made her a bit mad, but as a professional streamer, Lin Lin knew how to control her emotions.
“Actually, I do have a younger brother. I was delayed just now because I was talking to that guy. But if you ask me to choose, I think having a younger sister would be better. Little brothers aren’t cute at all!”
She complained like this, and the chat reacted right away:
【What? The little vampire girl actually has a brother?】
【Wrong, little sisters aren’t cute either!】
【True, my little sister is really bad. He caused me so much trouble!】
【??? The comment above… 'little sister' but you said 'he'??? Is he a femboy? Or are y'all just from Thailand?】
【What? Why do all of you have brothers or sisters? I thought we were all only children?】
“Ah, I don’t care! A little sister is definitely cuter than a little brother!”
The girl gave her judgment. “Think about it, both are younger characters, but as a girl, a little sister is usually cuter, more gentle, and more moe than a little brother, right? Even if a sister is a bit weird or a bit tsundere, she’s still way cuter than a rude and unreasonable little brother!”
【That’s a rare opinion. Usually, girls are more likely to be ‘brother-lovers,’ while guys are more often ‘sister-lovers.’】
【LOL, looks like Ari-chan got really annoyed by her own brother and now has PTSD from it.】
【Suggestion: turn your brother into a sister. Very fast results. I recommend Thailand!】
【True, sister-type is the strongest! Sister-type is the best! Sister-type is the white moonlight of this world! Every look of disgust from my sister is my greatest reward!】
【Wrong, big-sister type is the best!】
【Isn’t there any “twisted filial piety” route…?】
“Well, anyway, I’m just really annoyed by my brother,” the girl said helplessly. “He always has that gloomy face, which kills the mood, and he’s always looking down on me…”
Hearing the sadness in the little vampire girl’s words, Gao Liang typed to comfort her.
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Honestly, it’s already not that bad, little vampire girl. You don’t know how it feels to have an annoying little sister.】
“Huh? Dog Bro has a sister too? That’s…”
Lin Lin thought about it. A tsundere girl desk mate, plus an annoying little sister… maybe he’s a brother-lover type?
And Dog Bro is also pretty rich. Wow, when you add it all together, he really feels like a manga male lead.
When will I ever get such a life? Damn it—
The girl felt a bit depressed again, but Dog Bro’s next message cheered her up a little.
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: My sister has a terrible personality. She loves pranks, loves messing with people, and never takes anything seriously. She’s also super clingy, when she wants to bother you, you can’t get rid of her at all.】
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Compared to that, your brother just doesn’t want to talk to you. That’s already pretty good. I wish my sister would come bother me less.】
As Lin Lin listened, she imagined what Dog Bro’s sister, let’s call her “Dog Sis”, might be like.
Somehow…
She felt a bit like Gao Ye?
Just from the description, it really did sound similar.
But thinking carefully, compared to Gao Ye’s clingy and teasing personality, her own brother Lin Yu, who clearly disliked her, was much harder for her to accept.
“I think being disliked by your own brother really hurts. It makes you feel kind of useless… sigh. I don’t know why. When we were kids, my brother actually liked me a lot…”
The girl pinched her chin and fell into her memories.
“I remember when we were little, even though we were born at the same time, because I was the broth—ah, no, because I was the older sister, my brother really admired me. He always liked to follow me around and play with me. Sometimes he would look at me with admiration and call me ‘sister~’ in a super cute way.”
“Those days were really nice. But after we grew up, I don’t know why, our relationship slowly became more distant… Gradually, even when we met at school, we wouldn’t say hello. When we ran into each other, it was like we were strangers. We didn’t play together anymore…”
The girl lowered her head, her mood sinking. There were some things she just couldn’t say out loud.
So what exactly happened?
Why did it become like this?
Where did things go wrong?
