Chapter 268: Chapter 269: Can’t Tell Them Apart

Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan got home, and it wasn’t even four o’clock yet. As soon as they entered, they saw both Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing in the living room. Luckily, Miao Xuanxuan hadn’t latched onto Song Xiaodong’s arm in fear of someone being at home, otherwise it would have been obvious they were together.

"Sis, how come you guys got back so early?" Song Xiaodong asked naturally while taking off his shoes.

Song Xiaoru said with a smile, "Today is Saturday, I was just showing Qingqing around the head office. I won’t start working until Monday."

"Oh right, Xuanxuan and I work on weekends, you guys should be off."

Miao Xuanxuan, having changed her shoes, briskly moved to sit next to Song Xiaoru. Seeing the fruit on the coffee table, she directly grabbed a bunch of grapes and bit into one.

Miao Qingqing immediately frowned, "Hey, Miao Xuanxuan, this is Sister Xiaoru’s house, can you not act like you’re at your own home? Have some manners, will you?"

Song Xiaoru immediately replied with a laugh, "Since we’ve moved in here, of course, we should feel at home. There are no elders in our home, just Xiaodong and me. We’re all young people; there’s no need for so many formalities. Besides, I feel more relaxed with Xuanxuan being casual. Otherwise, I would worry about not being a good hostess."

With one hand holding the grapes and the other around Song Xiaoru’s arm, Miao Xuanxuan said, "See, Sister Xiaoru is so nice. You should learn from her. How gentle Xiaodong’s sister is and look at you, always with a stern face, so boring."

Miao Qingqing gave Miao Xuanxuan a blank look and said no more. When it came to arguing, she had never had the upper hand over the years. She was too rational, while Miao Xuanxuan didn’t care about that stuff, which always left her feeling like a scholar at a loss when dealing with a soldier.

Song Xiaoru laughed and said, "Right, you guys should choose your rooms. Pick whichever you like."

Batting her big eyes, Miao Xuanxuan sneaked a glance at Song Xiaodong and said, "I want to live upstairs." She knew that both Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong lived upstairs, and staying there would make it more convenient for her to secretly meet Song Xiaodong at night.

Miao Qingqing immediately said, "No, we should live downstairs. Upstairs is where Sister Xiaoru and Xiaodong live. Staying here is already imposing enough without moving upstairs."

Laughing, Song Xiaoru said, "It’s fine for everyone to live upstairs. There are plenty of rooms, enough for one each and some to spare."

Still, Miao Qingqing shook her head, "That still wouldn’t be very convenient. Don’t forget Xiaodong is also there. Things like taking showers would be inconvenient and could disrupt Xiaodong’s life."

That comment took the wind out of Miao Xuanxuan’s sails. She couldn’t very well say she didn’t mind even if Song Xiaodong walked around naked, so she just pouted and said, "Alright, alright, we’ll stay downstairs."

Under Miao Qingqing’s insistence, she and Miao Xuanxuan chose to stay in the room they had slept in the previous night.

Song Xiaoru helped them settle into the room, and then they really moved in.

Taking the opportunity, Song Xiaodong also went upstairs to wash up and changed into a set of pajamas. With Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing around, he couldn’t wander around the house in his usual large boxers, baring his chest, let alone walk around in briefs in front of Song Xiaoru.

Heading downstairs and seeing the people sitting beside Song Xiaoru, Song Xiaodong was dumbfounded. It definitely had to be Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing, but the sisters were wearing identical nightgowns and had let their hair down, making them completely indistinguishable,

Song Xiaodong had always known the twins were incredibly alike and hard to tell apart, but he had never seen them dressed the same and sitting together. Only now did he realize they weren’t just similar; they were exactly alike, indistinguishable. Even a magnifying glass probably wouldn’t help tell them apart.

Seeing Song Xiaodong standing there looking puzzled, Song Xiaoru burst out laughing and asked, "Can’t tell them apart, can you?"

Song Xiaodong nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, you really can’t tell them apart, can you? Couldn’t you just not wear the same clothes?"

The one on Xiaoru’s left side said, "Even if we wore different clothes, could you recognize us then?"

"Well..." Song Xiaodong immediately replied, "Maybe I couldn’t tell at first glance, but once I knew who was who, I’d be able to tell them apart afterward."

What really gave Song Xiaodong a headache was that he was currently getting cozy with Miao Xuanxuan, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to keep his hands to himself, If by some chance, he made a mistake like he did this morning, it would be incredibly embarrassing afterward.

"Why do you want to tell so clearly? Are you planning to do something naughty?" The one on Xiaoru’s right winked at Song Xiaodong and teased.

"Ha... I wouldn’t dare."

The one on Xiaoru’s left immediately joined in, "Really? Because I think someone here has ulterior motives."

Song Xiaodong grinned, saying, "Me? I wouldn’t dare."

"Really?" Both of them said in unison, their expressions and gazes identical.

Song Xiaodong initially wanted to distinguish the two based on their expressions while talking, but then he suddenly realized it was just as difficult. The one on the right seemed to have Xuanxuan’s gaze, but the current statement from the right made him think this one was Xuanxuan too.

Darn it! From now on, he would need to be even more cautious, needing to control his hands and his mouth, careful not to mess up. He had thought that having Miao Xuanxuan move into his house meant fewer mishaps, but now he realized that this was truly challenging.

Xiaoru chuckled lightly, saying, "Alright, I’m going to cook now; you guys chat."

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both promptly stood up to help, but Xiaoru laughed, "The two of you acting like princesses? Can you actually cook? If you can’t, then going might just make things worse."

Both Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan felt a bit awkward and could only watch as Xiaoru went into the kitchen.

"Dongzi, come with me for a sec." The one on the right then spoke softly and turned to head towards the bedroom on the first floor.

Song Xiaodong looked at the one still standing there, who shrugged and said, "Just go if she’s asking you to. Why are you looking at me?"

"Well, I need to know who you are, right?" Song Xiaodong said bluntly.

"I’m Xuanxuan."

The expression and demeanor seemed to be Xuanxuan’s, but Song Xiaodong really couldn’t be sure. Usually, he felt he could tell them apart since Miao Qingqing was a bit cold and Miao Xuanxuan was lively, but now, in front of Xiaoru, Xuanxuan wasn’t as lively and Qingqing wasn’t as cold, so there were no differences at all.
