Chapter 122: Tang Xun’s Little Thoughts
The promotional work for the new game update was progressing steadily.
Tang Yao spent some time drafting a short script, then pulled up Rin Tohsaka’s model from the game. After tweaking the visuals and checking how it looked, her resolve to use it for promo was only strengthened—because it looked really good.
That said—
She hadn’t told anyone else about this yet. After all, it was just a model for now. If the voice acting didn’t pan out, it would all be pointless.
So she kept it to herself, quietly testing and refining it on her own. In between, she also helped the team assign tasks related to promo artwork and materials.
And just like that, the day passed.
It was after 7 PM when she finally headed home.
The commute, as always, was a long one.
Staring out the window, Tang Yao started thinking—she really couldn’t put off moving anymore. This place was just too far. Every trip back home was a pain.
Sure, she liked the small but cozy apartment. It carried lots of memories between the two sisters, and it was the first place where she’d gathered herself emotionally after arriving in this world. But no matter how much she liked it, it couldn’t beat a hellishly long commute.
She’d wait until the Christmas update was out.Then she’d seriously look for a place closer—and bigger.
Leaning against the window, Tang Yao let her mind drift—clearing her head of the day’s stress.
That had become a bit of a habit during her commute.
Because ever since Avalon Studio was founded…
Her brain was constantly running on work mode.
So during the ride home, she tried to relax and shift out of that mindset, tried to go home with a lighter heart.
Sometimes, even she felt it was kinda ridiculous.Didn’t she originally just want to make some money?
Make life a little easier for herself, give her little sister some peace of mind?
How did it get to the point where she was acquiring platforms and expanding operations?
She was already planning their second game…
Even though she’d gotten used to a lot of things by now.She could put on a bra in three seconds flat…Her ponytail game was top-tier…Most of the time, she acted completely like the "real" Tang Yao.
But inside, she hadn’t changed at all.Still liked staring at pretty big sisters in black stockings, still loved collecting cute girl pics, still had that restless drive—the burning desire to build something big.
Honestly, she could’ve stopped after FGO.
They made so much on launch day that she and her sister could’ve lived comfortably for years.
But she just couldn’t help herself.She had to take it further.
Then again… maybe that wasn’t a bad thing?
Her, in this body, building a mega-company—Kind of a fun thought.
She’d get to throw stocks and cash in Xun and Li Xue’s faces…
Though they’d probably just roll their eyes.
Still, the thought was amusing.
Tang Yao chuckled quietly at the image, then looked down—wanting to admire herself a little—but the moment she saw the “height”, her smile froze.
Nope.
This look still wasn’t working for her.
What the hell kind of bug was there in the isekai process?
She frowned, deep in thought.
Logically, her physical development should’ve stopped by now.
Why did it feel like she was still growing?
Seriously, what kind of broken cheat is this…
Grumbling to herself, Tang Yao eventually made it home.
By the time she reached the door, the mental strain of her high-intensity workday had already been washed away by random nonsense thoughts.
She pulled out her keys and opened the door.
The cozy little living room welcomed her.
Tang Xun was sitting on the couch, her round thighs pressed together, a small pile of clothes on her lap. She seemed to be folding their laundry—underwear included.
Whether it was her face or figure, Tang Xun was the definition of a top-tier high school beauty. Clad in her winter school uniform, even from a distance, she radiated youth and freshness.
But right now… she actually looked like a housewife.
Adorable, honestly.
“……”
On the other side—
Tang Xun heard the door and slowly looked up, underwear still in hand.
Tang Yao stared at her for a second and couldn’t help but say,“Xun, can you not look at me while holding a pair of underwear? Don’t you think that’s a little weird? Like you’re sizing me up or something.”
“……”
Tang Xun didn’t respond. Instead, her gaze slowly drifted down.
“You’re seriously picking a fight with my boobs again, aren’t you?”
Tang Yao gave her a mild glare, swapped into her indoor slippers, and plopped down on the couch. She snatched the clothes out of her hands.
“That’s yours—you can change later. And this too…”
Tang Xun handed over another pair of folded underthings and replied calmly,“You started it.”
“Started what?”
Tang Yao accepted the handoff, then glared again.“Think about it. Who bit who first? I told you the FGO launch numbers out of kindness, and you cried from joy, sure. You buried your face in my chest—fine. But why’d you bite me?”
She was referring to what happened the day after FGO launched, when she’d shared the incredible revenue numbers with Tang Xun.
Tang Xun looked at her:“So that’s why you got revenge in your sleep a few days later?”
“……”
Tang Yao’s face reddened slightly.It wasn’t really revenge, honestly…She’d just remembered it in the moment.
Still, she wasn’t about to admit anything.She was the older sister, after all.
So she straightened her back and huffed proudly:“Yeah, so what if I did?”
“……”
Tang Xun immediately understood what to do.
She slid the clothes off her lap, turned her body—and pounced on her sister.
“Ah—no no no—stop! That tickles—hahaha—!”
Tang Yao got tackled full-on, laughing and squirming.
Tang Xun buried her face in her sister’s chest, inhaling her soft scent and giggling gently.
The two sisters wrestled for a while—
Until they were both lying on the couch, breathless and limp from laughter.
Tang Yao wrapped an arm around Tang Xun’s slender waist.“Xun, you know this kind of thing is gonna make your big sis hate you.”
“…Then I’ll hate you too.”
Tang Xun lay sprawled on top of her sister, completely unbothered.
“Then no dowry for you when you get married.”
Tang Yao ruffled her sister’s hair, enjoying the feel of her silky strands, and said it like a joke.
“……”
But the moment she said that—
Tang Xun froze. Her body stiffened slightly.
“…Huh? What’s wrong?”
Tang Yao immediately noticed something was off and looked at her with concern.
“…Nothing.”
Tang Xun slowly sat up, smoothed out her hair, and looked down at her sister, gently pressing her lips together.
Tang Yao propped herself up too, tightening her ponytail as she tilted her head.What’s up with her?
Ever since FGO's success, Tang Yao had relaxed a lot—and she could tell that Tang Xun had too. Bit by bit, her little sister had started showing a more carefree, girlish side again.
Like tonight, for instance.
Back when things were rough, she would’ve never acted this way.She didn’t want to burden her sister with any extra emotional weight.
Now?
She was finally letting herself go a little—and Tang Yao was happy to see that.
It was exactly why she’d gambled everything in the first place.
So she was more than willing to fool around with her little sister like this.
Life was too short to always be serious.
But now, Tang Xun’s mood had suddenly gone cloudy—and Tang Yao had no idea why.
On the other end—
Tang Xun didn’t explain. She just stared quietly at her sister…
Because something Tang Yao said had struck a nerve.
“Dowry.”“Marriage.”
Her sister had such a beautiful body, such a kind heart, such a smart and capable mind. She was radiant, skilled, successful.
Who wouldn’t fall for someone like that?
So someday…
She’ll get married too, won’t she?
