CHAPTER 30 SHE’S REALLY NOT STUPID!
Ye Zhibai certainly couldn’t ask such a strange topic outright.
At worst, I’ll just lock the door when I sleep from now on?!
Both she and Ye Zhiyun tacitly decided to temporarily ignore this topic.
Zhiyun suddenly tilted her head and leaned on Ye Zhibai’s shoulder, speaking softly, saying something that left Ye Zhibai feeling rather puzzled.
“Sister… now that you’re back, before we go for breakfast… shouldn’t we resume our ‘morning talks’? Ugh… without them, these past two years have been really tough for me every day!”
“?”
Morning talks?!
Considering Zhiyun’s perverse tendencies, why does this phrase sound so ominous?!
No, no, but Ye Zhibai didn’t understand what it meant.
She glanced sideways for help from Guang Yu, but that pesky fox was still clutching her stomach, making threatening gestures at the bag of cat food through the window, clearly not reliable.
Ye Zhibai scooted closer to the wall, speaking honestly, “Sorry… I don’t remember.”
“No… sister, you don’t need to worry about that. It’s me who should apologize. I thought… you’d remember this… It’s okay! If we do it once more, you might recall!”
“……”
Do… do what?!
Hey, hey, hey… I’m a decent person, an upright gentleman! Sister, don’t do anything weird!!
Ye Zhibai braced herself for whatever was coming.
But… it wasn’t what she expected.
She felt a small hand gently patting her head.
Ye Zhibai’s squinting eyes slowly opened.
She saw Zhiyun’s beautiful face filled with a smile.
Her hand was carefully stroking Ye Zhibai’s head.
Following the flow of her silver-white hair, Zhiyun was so gentle that she didn’t even want to mess up a single strand of hair, incredibly tender.
Even Ye Zhibai herself felt a sense of peace and enjoyment from it.
She had never had anyone pat her head before… or rather, there was never anyone willing to give her that bit of warmth.
And now, Ye Zhiyun was doing just that.
Ye Zhiyun maintained this action, her words carrying a hint of melancholy despite her heart’s wish being fulfilled after two years.
“Sister… still don’t remember?”
Very cute.
In stark contrast to her serious demeanor yesterday, this was an adorable side of her.
Her eager, pleading eyes were truly touching.
No matter how perverse she might have been last night, right now, she was simply like a child longing for her sister’s affection, with no ulterior motives.
Ye Zhibai tried hard to think.
Imitation…
This body of mine, before having a soul, merely imitated Zhiyun.
If she did this action, then what I can do… isn’t it just one thing?
—That is to do what Ye Zhiyun is doing.
Ye Zhibai sat up straight, quietly swallowed, gathered her courage, and slowly raised her delicate hand, exploring forward.
Finally… she placed it gently on Ye Zhiyun’s smooth black hair.
Even though it was just a simple action…
Ye Zhibai could clearly see that Zhiyun’s eyes quickly reddened!
Morning talks… were just the two sisters patting each other’s heads, comforting their hearts.
“Sister…! You do remember!”
I don’t remember at all!
I just got lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse!
Oh no…
In moments like this, I should act cool and say—this was a gamble, and I won.
Ye Zhibai had no time for that kind of thinking!
Because Zhiyun was hugging her again!
All she could smell was a floral scent, followed by being tightly embraced by Zhiyun.
No matter how many times, the soft, bouncy sensation against her chest was something Ye Zhibai could never get used to.
Too… too strange.
Ye Zhibai raised her arms, trying to prove her innocence!
But this action, in Zhiyun’s eyes, only represented her sister’s coldness…
And this coldness… made her tremble with excitement!
As Ye Zhibai felt this tremor, Zhiyun had already buried her head in Ye Zhibai’s chest, nuzzling and acting all cute.
“Sister… could you hug me too?”
Hug you? What on earth! This is way too stimulating for early morning!
And Guang Yu was right there, fanning the flames.
Zhiyun really couldn’t see her.
Guang Yu, without a care, was jumping around like a cheerleader, silently encouraging them! Her movements were light and soundless.
Her voice suddenly echoed directly in Ye Zhibai’s mind, something Zhiyun couldn’t hear.
“Go for it! Go for it! Human! Hug her! Get close! Get close!”
Guang Yu desperately wanted them to get close!
The sooner they genuinely bonded, the sooner Guang Yu could complete her task and return to the celestial realm!
Ah, this is so annoying!
Ye Zhibai couldn’t stand the pressure from both sides.
She could only grit her teeth and, with a bit of determination, leaned forward and carefully hugged Zhiyun.
“Is this… okay?”
“Mm… sister, hold me a little longer…”
Hold longer… I’m afraid my heart can’t take it.
She tried to maintain the embrace for as long as possible.
During this time, she could hear the comfortable murmurs coming from Zhiyun’s throat, sounds that only someone completely relaxed could make.
Ye Zhibai felt this was too nerve-wracking… and after what seemed enough, she let go.
At this moment, Zhiyun looked rejuvenated, as if she had replenished her “sister energy”! Even her dark circles seemed to have faded considerably!
“Great! Sister! Let’s go have breakf…”
Ding dong~ Ding dong~
The doorbell suddenly rang. It was the doorbell at the main entrance of the villa, outside the living room. It was the first time Ye Zhibai had heard it.
In Zhiyun’s eyes, a layer of frost immediately covered them.
“Who’s here at this time… how annoying. Ah… sister, you wait in the room for a bit. I’ll see who it is and be right back. Oh, and for washing up, there’s a basin in the small courtyard outside. If you want to take a bath, the bathroom is on the first floor at the far end, but I suggest doing that after breakfast. Right… ah! Who is it this early in the morning!”
Zhiyun really didn’t want to miss a single second of talking with Ye Zhibai. Even though someone outside was frantically ringing the doorbell, she continued to say all this to Ye Zhibai.
Zhiyun went outside to open the door, leaving for a moment.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Zhibai quickly glanced at Guang Yu.
The pesky deity immediately froze in place.
Jumping around? Just a moment ago, you were jumping around?
Ye Zhibai’s voice turned cold, “She… can’t see you?”
“Yeah… yeah, when I’m in my cat form, I’m visible, but in my human form, only someone with the divinity granted by Mother God can see me. Well… if I want to appear on purpose, I can do that too. That’s the whimsy of a deity! Isn’t it impressive?”
Guang Yu stood with her hands on her hips, looking very proud!
Those complicated things… Ye Zhibai didn’t understand.
She just wanted to ask one thing.
“So… you could’ve just stayed like this yesterday. When Zhiyun came in, why did you turn into a cat? If you stayed like this, she wouldn’t have seen you.”
Ye Zhibai thought she had the upper hand in intelligence this time.
But she clearly underestimated Guang Yu’s cleverness.
“Didn’t I say yesterday, maintaining a human form is exhausting! I turned into a cat so you could adopt me, and I could move freely in the house. Duh! But thinking about those four vaccine shots yesterday, I might as well have stayed in human form. Total loss!”
“……”
Even though her words were irritating…
She actually wasn’t dumb!
