CHAPTER 29 QUITE HONEST, HUH?
Ye Zhibai hurriedly scooted away to avoid Guang Yu’s mischievous hands.
After synchronizing with Guang Yu’s sensations from last night… her whole body felt tingly. She felt that if Guang Yu touched her again, something untoward and indecent might happen.
Putting some distance between them, Ye Zhibai slightly frowned and asked,
“You just said Zhiyun kissed me while I was sleeping?”
“Yeah, she stole a kiss! Hmph, I heard about this in the celestial realm! That action is called kissing! Ah… wait, such a complicated word, you probably don’t understand it, right? Since you never even held a girl’s hand in your past life, it’s normal if you don’t get it. Let the knowledgeable Guang Yu explain it to you. It’s when lips touch lips and then… then what comes next?”
Guang Yu, who acts like she knows a lot, actually knows nothing.
Wah, she was just a light orb in the celestial realm, what could she possibly know!
Not wanting to dwell on these hearsay bits of strange knowledge, Guang Yu, trying to maintain her “learned” appearance, slapped her thigh and summarized with the simplest words.
“Ahem… anyway, that’s what happened! You should’ve seen her yesterday, holding you and kissing you non-stop! She really had the perseverance, going at it until almost dawn. And you slept through it all… Ow! Why did you hit my head?”
“Calm down… let me think.”
“So you hit my head so you could think?”
“Tsk!”
“Ow… fine.”
Ye Zhibai’s clicking tongue was enough to make Guang Yu realize that if she didn’t calm down, next time it wouldn’t be her head but her ears.
Guang Yu, afraid of that feeling, slinked to the corner of the room and watched the butterflies fluttering in the garden outside the window.
This human sure has a bad temper!
First, Ye Zhibai had hit her head because of one particular sentence in Guang Yu’s annoying speech.
—Never held a girl’s hand in your past life.
Not allowed to say that, even if it’s close to the truth, it’s still not allowed!!
Second, Ye Zhibai really needed some time to think.
Honestly, what Guang Yu said might be true.
Ye Zhibai recalled how in her dream yesterday, the goat kept sticking its tongue out to lick her! So there was a reason for that!
Subconsciously, she touched her soft lips with her fingers.
Ye Zhibai’s mind was in turmoil.
Her first kiss, saved over two lifetimes… might have been given away while she was sleeping!
In the end, wasn’t Ye Zhiyun’s behavior utterly perverted?
The image of Ye Zhiyun flashed through Ye Zhibai’s mind, that excessive doting sending chills down her spine.
She couldn’t tell if she should be happy or want to cry.
Huh?
Wait a minute…
A sudden realization hit Ye Zhibai.
She looked up quickly at the little fox girl sitting at the edge of the bed, hugging her knees and pouting.
“Guang Yu?”
“What?”
“This doesn’t add up… you said you were in human form sleeping on the bed last night, and then Zhiyun came over. Wouldn’t she have seen you?”
“Oh, that. You don’t need to…”
Knock, knock!
“!”
Speak of the devil.
The knocking sound came again, still calm and gentle, with a voice that was unhurried and soothing.
The knocking was deliberately softened, as if worried about waking someone sleeping inside.
“Sister? Are you awake? Breakfast is ready.”
Breakfast?!
Pretending to be asleep was a good option, but Ye Zhibai had to admit—she was hungry.
“Awake.”
“That’s perfect, hehe, I get to have my first breakfast with you since you were discharged~ Um… can I come in now?”
“Sure.”
At the same time, Ye Zhibai urgently signaled Guang Yu with her eyes, urging her to turn into a cat quickly!
If Zhiyun saw her in human form, she would kill me!
However, Guang Yu just lay there with a mischievous grin, even arrogantly crossing her short legs, acting completely fearless.
Ye Zhibai was anxious but couldn’t force her to transform!
Ye Zhiyun had already opened the door and walked in.
This was bad.
She seemed to have just finished a hot shower.
The cotton towel on her black hair was still steaming, and her elegant light blue nightgown with embroidered cat patterns didn’t quite match her cool temperament, but she still looked ethereal.
Ye Zhibai thought they were doomed.
But…
Ye Zhibai blinked, unbelievably noticing that Guang Yu was clearly lying on the floor, but after Zhiyun came in, it was as if she didn’t see her at all.
Zhiyun looked around the room and then focused on Ye Zhibai.
Wait, could she not see Guang Yu?
“Uh… sister, where’s your cat?”
“Ran into the garden… probably playing in the flower beds…” Ye Zhibai continued her serious nonsense.
“Oh, no problem, the cat’s not important.”
With that, Zhiyun turned and brought in several large bags from outside the door, dropping them onto the floor with a thud.
“Cat food, cat litter, cat toys! I bought everything at once~”
When she was with Ye Zhibai, Zhiyun, who usually seemed quite delicate, always felt like she had endless energy. She picked up the bags of cat food and cat litter in one go and tried to carry them to the garden.
She overestimated herself.
Halfway through… the bag of cat food slipped from her hand.
“Ah?”
“Oomph!!”
The bag landed right on Guang Yu’s stomach as she lay there!!
The poor pesky fox clutched her belly and quickly rolled to the side.
She had just wanted to show off to Ye Zhibai that no one else could see her, but she hadn’t expected to suffer such a direct hit!
After Zhiyun brought the bags to the garden, she returned, puzzled, and looked around the room again.
“Sister… did you hear any strange noises just now?”
“No.”
“No? I thought I heard something…”
“No.”
“Then I must have heard wrong!”
When her sister spoke, she believed her!
Ye Zhiyun turned back, closed the door leading to the garden, and sat down on the edge of the bed, sticking close to Ye Zhibai’s shoulder.
She didn’t say anything, just swayed her head happily.
Hmm… she hadn’t been able to say good morning to her sister at home for two years. She cherished mornings like this.
At such a close distance, Ye Zhibai noticed an obvious detail.
Under Zhiyun’s pretty eyes, there was a faint layer of dark circles that hadn’t been there last night.
—”She was up late fussing over you.”
Perfect… Ye Zhibai wanted to verify Guang Yu’s words.
“Zhiyun… did you not sleep well last night?”
“Hmm? Why do you say that?”
“Dark circles.”
“!”
Ah… no need for further verification.
From Zhiyun’s reaction, it was a hundred percent true.
Being pointed out about her dark circles, Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, then her face turned visibly red.
And now… she bowed her head shyly and snuggled closer to Ye Zhibai, almost like she was being coquettish.
Ye Zhibai, already backed into the bed’s headboard with nowhere else to retreat, could only let her have her way.
Like a magnet, Zhiyun clung to her, speaking in a voice tinged with a bit of a whine.
“Sorry, sister… Zhiyun didn’t want to lie to you… I just couldn’t help it last night. I was so happy you came home from the hospital that I… I came over a few times.”
Oh!
Gotta admit, perverted but honest!
Ye Zhibai nodded calmly, “Hmm… what did you do when you came over?”
Hearing this question, Zhiyun gasped.
Her eyes darted around nervously, and she clasped her hands together, smiling awkwardly.
“Ahaha…! Of course, I came to check if you were sleeping well! Think about it, your room is a new environment for you now. I had to come over and check, right?”
“……”
Honest, but not completely honest.
Fine, if you don’t want to say it, that’s okay.
Just as well, I don’t dare ask more, sob!
