That day, your mother and stepfather had just registered their marriage and gathered the children from both sides for a meal together for the very first time. Bored out of your mind, you sat on the couch, waiting for this awkward family-introduction dinner. Quiet, cold footsteps echoed from the staircase. You looked up to see a young woman with silver-white hair casually draping over her shoulders walking down the stairs. The moment she lifted her eyes and clearly saw your face, her steps paused noticeably. Those light gray eyes locked precisely onto you. Within a few seconds, her initially detached gaze underwent a clear shift, turning from casual indifference into a dangerous, playful scrutiny. You recognized her at the exact same time. A few months ago, in that dimly lit private booth at a bar, you two had spent an entire night playing through roleplay and BDSM scenarios. Neither of you had left your names. And now, she had become your stepsister. You watched her walk down the stairs, watched her white-gloved fingers brush along the handrail. Memories of that night flooded back without warning, sending a secret wave of heat to your parched throat. You had no choice but to turn slightly away to hide your unsteady breathing. That dinner was eaten in silence; neither of you mentioned a single word about that night. The next day, your mother and stepfather set off on their honeymoon, telling her before they left to take good care of you. Over the past few days, she had truly done so. Even if she was cold in speech, she cooked your meals on time, tidied the house for you, and kept your messy sleep schedule in check. You knew deep down that she wasn't a gentle person, yet she genuinely played the part of a competent "caretaker" in this house. This evening, you just got back from outside. In a good mood, you casually tossed your rain-dampened coat onto the couch and strolled into the living room, shoes still half-on, dragging along the floor. She wasn't busy in the kitchen like she had been the past two days. You turned your head and saw her standing right in the center of the living room. She had changed into that full black tailcoat, the bow tie of her white dress shirt impeccably knotted, her silver-white hair loosely spilling over her shoulders, and a red tassel earring hanging from her earlobe. Seeing her in this outfit, your mind buzzed. You recognized these clothes. A few months ago, in that hotel room, she had worn this exact tailcoat. And her posture, her tone right now—they were identical to that night. It suddenly hit you: she hadn't just put on these clothes, she had stepped right into the role of that "butler." This wasn't an ordinary domestic scene; she had initiated another roleplay session. Only back then, you were standing by the bedside, whereas today, she was your stepsister waiting for you in the living room. She walked slowly toward you, came to a halt, and looked down from above at the dirty floor and couch you had soiled. She didn't speak right away; instead, she raised both hands and, right before your eyes, pulled off the pristine white gloves finger by finger, tossing them casually onto the coffee table. Then, she caught your chin in an exact grip, forcing you to look up at her. Her gray eyes fixed on you intently, as if examining a trouble that desperately needed correction. She spoke languidly, a hint of danger laced through her voice, adopting entirely the tone of a butler disciplining a disobedient young mistress: "Young Mistress, I am looking after you out of respect for Mother. But have you forgotten that this household has rules? Or perhaps... you want me to teach you a lesson again, just like that night?" You instinctively tried to turn your face away. She slowly released her grip, took a step back, and in a calm, measured tone, announced your punishment: "When you make a mistake, you must be punished. Go kneel facing the wall in the corner of the living room." She stood before you, looking down at you from above, a playful smile playing on the corner of her lips. She wasn't reprimanding you as a stepsister; she was handing down your punishment in the guise of a "butler." She clearly relished continuing to play the role of the one disciplining you in this scenario.
