"Hmph! Looks like your itch for trouble," Cheng Tianxue said coldly from beside the sofa.
"You brat! Not seeing you for a while and you’ve learned to talk back, haven’t you?"
"Who are you calling a brat?" Cheng Tianxue retorted from beside the sofa.
"Wow! Haven’t seen you for three days and you’ve even gotten smarter! You know how to play tricks now."
"Qingsu, can you stop messing around? Just go wash up and sleep," Cheng Tianxue said from beside the sofa.
"Cheng Qingsu, don’t force me to lose my cool! My patience is limited. I’ll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight!" Cheng Tianxue shouted as she came down the stairs.
"I think so too! Listen up, Cheng Qingsu, don’t push me to the edge!" Cheng Tianxue hissed coldly from the sofa.
"You dare to copy me, you’re asking for trouble!" Cheng Tianxue, who had come down the stairs, exploded in anger.
She snatched the chicken feather blanket from nearby and struck out at the Cheng Tianxue sitting on the sofa.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing the two about to fight, Zhang Xiaohao hastily intervened.
"What do you want to say?" Both Cheng Tianxues said at the same time.
"Uh!" Zhang Xiaohao was taken aback, thinking to himself, they even answer in unison, true twins indeed!
"I have a way to tell who’s Xue’er and who’s Qingsu," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Jerk! What are you standing around for? Hurry up and tell them apart!"
"Idiot! This is an issue between us sisters, none of your business, so stay out of it!"
Both said in unison, with the Cheng Tianxue beside the sofa clearly panicking a bit.
"My wife, Xue’er," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
Both Cheng Tianxues were furious, one with a throw pillow from the sofa, the other with the chicken feather blanket in hand, throwing them at Zhang Xiaohao.
Zhang Xiaohao nimbly dodged, avoiding them with ease.
"Whoever dares not face this is obviously guilty," Zhang Xiaohao said with a grin.
He was already beaming inside.
"Zhang Xiaohao, you jerk, just you wait! Let’s see how I deal with you later!"
"Bring it on! Who’s afraid of who!"
Both Cheng Tianxues retorted coldly.
Four eyes, shining like stars, glared at each other fiercely, each wishing they could devour the other.
"Which one of you two will go first?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a smile.
"She goes first!" both Cheng Tianxues said simultaneously, pointing at each other.
"How about this! Let’s decide by drawing lots," Zhang Xiaohao suggested.
"Fine! Let’s decide by drawing lots, who’s afraid of who!"
"Afraid of you? Not likely!"
Both Cheng Tianxues declared at the same time.
Zhang Xiaohao took out two coins from his pocket and scratched one of them, leaving a mark on it.
"See these two coins in my hand? The one with the scratch, whoever draws it first will go first," Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"Hmph!" both uttered a cold snort simultaneously.
"Which one of you two will draw first?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a mischievous smile.
"She will!" both insisted at the same time.
"Alright! I must admit, you sisters are something else, always in sync with each other, true twins indeed," Zhang Xiaohao said, rolling his eyes.
Pointing to the Cheng Tianxue who had come down the stairs, he said, "You go first then."
"Hmph! Jerk, just you wait, let’s see how I deal with you later!" the descending Cheng Tianxue snorted coldly.
Zhang Xiaohao simply laughed, offering no retort.
His palms moved quickly, in a blur, making it impossible to tell where the coin with the mark was.
"Alright, you draw," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Hmph!" the descending Cheng Tianxue snorted.
She extended her fair hand and pointed at Zhang Xiaohao’s left hand, saying, "This one!"
"Are you sure?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a smile.
"A decision by Cheng Tianxue is never changed!" the descending Cheng Tianxue declared.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaohao responded as he opened his left hand.
It revealed the coin with the scratch, and without a trace, he pocketed the other coin.
"This coin has a scratch, you lost, so we’ll start with you," Zhang Xiaohao said.
Yet inside, he was snickering because both coins were marked.
Whoever drew first would lose!
"Hmph! Bring it on. Do you think I’m scared of you?" the descending Cheng Tianxue retorted.
Zhang Xiaohao smiled and was unapologetic.
"Idiot! What on earth are you doing?"
"Are you stupid? How could you possibly know the outcome?" Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.
Inwardly, he was laughing merrily, now knowing who the real Cheng Tianxue was.
"Ten seconds later and still no result?"
"What can I say? It’s not entirely accurate through clothes," Zhang Xiaohao said, pretending to frown.
"Idiot! You still want to come in?"
"Hmph! If you’re scared, just admit that you’re the stinky girl Cheng Qingsu," the sofa-side Cheng Tianxue snapped before Zhang Xiaohao could speak.
"Brat! Do you think I’d be afraid of you?" the descending Cheng Tianxue said angrily.
"Heh," Zhang Xiaohao chuckled, offering no explanation.
Suppressing his excitement, he lifted her thin clothes and slipped his right hand inside.
"Are you an idiot?" Zhang Xiaohao said, rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, I’ll be quick!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
Thirty seconds later.
"Idiot! Are you done yet?" the descending Cheng Tianxue roared.
"Almost! Just a bit longer, can’t rush these things, just wait a little longer," Zhang Xiaohao said sincerely.
After feeling around some more, sensing that the Cheng Tianxue before him was reaching her limit, he reluctantly stopped.
"Idiot! Do you have a result?" the descending Cheng Tianxue asked coldly.
"Need to double-check!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"How do you want to verify?"
"Only by comparing both can I know who the real Cheng Tianxue is," Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
"Hmph! Then what are you waiting for? Go on!" the descending Cheng Tianxue commanded. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
She had been so provoked that she wouldn’t have let these words slip otherwise.
"You really didn’t feel the result?" the Cheng Tianxue beside the sofa asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Yeah, needs one more confirmation," Zhang Xiaohao replied.
"Then come here!" the sofa-side Cheng Tianxue said.
Zhang Xiaohao did not stand on ceremony, relying on his recent experience, he proceeded with familiarity.
