CHAPTER 11 CONSOLIDATE LEARNING?
Gentlemen, what does it feel like to be held in the arms of a beautiful girl?
In the past, Ye Zhibai had fantasized about this scene, but it always ended with a laugh, considering it utterly ridiculous.
Such things are nice to think about, but any rational person knows it’s a fanciful, zero-probability event.
And if it really happened, one would surely die of embarrassment.
Now, the reality has proven—it does indeed feel like dying.
Ye Zhibai used the fact of her previous life’s death by “car” accident to bring about this scenario!
But now, she really felt like she was about to die of embarrassment again!!
Holy moly, sister, we’re roughly the same height and weight, how do you effortlessly lift me without even breathing hard?!
Ye Zhibai, who had prided herself on twenty years of male dignity, instinctively tried to struggle.
Her pale little feet kicked out a couple of times, but aside from causing her slippers to clatter to the floor, it achieved nothing.
Because she dared not make large movements!
Her tightly clenched legs seemed to warn her.
—If you move recklessly, it won’t just be a “trickle” this time…
Even though Ye Zhiyun held her steadily, she still had slender arms and legs, and it was hard for her to move when Ye Zhibai squirmed.
“Sister…! Please don’t move! Aren’t you in a hurry?”
“……”
Alright, you’re right.
Sometimes, sacrificing dignity is necessary to preserve it better.
Ye Zhibai looked back at the spot where she had been standing.
Seeing the few glistening strands on the floor, Ye Zhibai knew that any further fuss would lead to dire consequences. Thus, she suddenly ceased struggling and relaxed her entire body.
She closed her eyes and concentrated.
She had given up, resigned herself to her fate.
Her legs and arms, along with her silver hair, naturally hung down, resembling a salted fish devoid of dreams.
Ye Zhiyun was finally able to stand firm.
Her body was steady, but her heart was leaping with joy.
Sister in my arms… so well-behaved!!
Though she still disdained my expression… she was actually listening to me!
Ye Zhiyun swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the urge at the bottom of her heart to hug Ye Zhibai even tighter. The priority now was to help her sister relieve herself and relax.
Without waiting any longer, Ye Zhiyun started walking.
“Sister, hold on to me tightly. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away, okay?”
“Oh…”
Sister, I’ve given up, do whatever you need.
Ah… but before I completely resign myself, I must say one more thing!
“Slow down a bit.”
“Okay… definitely!”
We must go slowly and steadily!
It’s like a cup filled with water; if shaken too much, it will spill.
Ye Zhiyun concentrated all her strength in her wrists and palms to stabilize Ye Zhibai’s body more firmly. Beads of sweat formed on Ye Zhiyun’s forehead as she used her heel to close the hospital room door, then headed towards the inside of the room…
But, the door was already closed.
So, she walked towards the interior of the room.
Before Ye Zhibai could express her confusion, Ye Zhiyun carried her to the opposite side of the hospital bed, in front of a marble wall. As they approached the wall, Ye Zhibai noticed that it didn’t seem to fit perfectly together.
Ye Zhiyun then shifted her body and bumped a small, inconspicuous button on the wall with her shoulder.
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
In Ye Zhibai’s eyes, which didn’t show her surprise but was indeed very surprised,
a door that almost perfectly matched the color of the marble wall slid open to both sides!
And behind it was the bathroom that Ye Zhibai had been desperately thinking about!
Dozens of square meters, spacious and clean, with a pristine bathtub floor and a sacred toilet.
Is this… what modern technology is like?
A bathroom hidden like a secret room?!
Ye Zhibai, still in disbelief, asked,
“Zhiyun… didn’t you say… the public bathroom was on the 15th floor?”
“Ah, yes, sister, the public bathrooms are on the 15th floor, but we have one right here in our room, so that’s why I said you shouldn’t go out…”
Every facility in this hospital room was specially built for Ye Zhibai, including a coffee machine next to the bedside table. But since sister had been in a coma for the past two years, none of it had been used.
Now, at last, it could be of some use!
Ye Zhiyun carefully set Ye Zhibai back on the ground. Only then did Ye Zhibai realize… Zhiyun holding her was not as effortless as she made it appear; the beads of sweat on her forehead and her slightly labored breathing clearly showed her struggle.
Yet Zhiyun maintained a smile, pretending to be strong as she stepped back from the bathroom door.
“Alright, sister… phew, go ahead and take care of it.”
I want to take care of it… of course, I want to!
But Ye Zhibai froze, unsure of what to do.
It seemed like Zhiyun had no intention of leaving, just staring straight at her.
Do all girls watch each other go to the bathroom?!
Certainly not, Ye Zhibai knew better than that!
“Aren’t you going to leave?”
She had thought Zhiyun would realize this and step out for a moment.
But Zhiyun looked resolute.
“Sorry, sister, I won’t be fooled by your acting tough anymore. Your condition isn’t good right now, and I must take close care of you. Please don’t worry about my feelings!”
I’m not!
Damn it, I really just want to use the bathroom!!
Ye Zhibai was about to say something, but the urgency inside made her nervously clutch her skirt.
Uh… the skirt?
How is one supposed to…
Ye Zhibai suddenly froze.
“……”
Ye Zhiyun, realizing a possibility, spoke up.
“Sister… you don’t remember how to use the bathroom, do you? You knew how before you fell into a coma…”
“Sorry…”
Indeed, given a bit of time, Ye Zhibai could have figured out the mechanics on her own. But now, time was not on her side. Even the usually stoic Ye Zhibai couldn’t hide the urgency, embarrassment, and panic in her eyes.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Ye Zhiyun’s eyes suddenly sparkled with an astonishing brightness. She patted her chest proudly, reassuring with a smile.
“Sister, don’t worry!”
What am I supposed to not worry about?!
“I’ll teach you! I’ll help you step by step!”
“No need…”
“Don’t be polite with me, sister, it’s all right!”
At a time of such urgency, one must sometimes choose silence because speaking might compromise one’s dignity in other, more urgent ways. Ye Zhibai’s silence was taken by Ye Zhiyun as consent.
Without hesitation, Ye Zhiyun reached for the hem of Ye Zhibai’s dress and flipped it up vigorously!
“!”
Underneath the shock and unbearable embarrassment exploding within her, Ye Zhibai felt as though most of her body was exposed to the air and… to Ye Zhiyun’s gaze.
Ye Zhibai could hear, oddly enough, that Ye Zhiyun’s breathing, different from the panting due to earlier exertion, had a subtly different tone now…?
With Ye Zhiyun’s help, the skirt was tied around her waist.
“Sister, you can sit down now… or should I help you take off your underwear too?”
“No need… no… mmm…”
Did Ye Zhibai even have any room left to resist?
Knowing nothing about how to use the toilet, she had no ground to argue or resist.
Having completely given up on resisting, she let Ye Zhiyun maneuver her, and before long, she was seated on the pristine toilet.
Ye Zhiyun clapped her hands contentedly, tilting her head with a smile.
“Alright, sister, now just follow your heart and let it all go!”
“Phew…”
Humans, they numb eventually.
Even under Ye Zhiyun’s gaze, Ye Zhibai could no longer resist her instincts.
As the frown on her face gradually eased, the whole world seemed to quiet down.
Summer rains are just like that; they come suddenly and disappear just as quickly.
After assisting her, Ye Zhiyun neatly rearranged Ye Zhibai’s dress.
Ye Zhibai herself felt a sense of release, looking refreshed and vibrant.
Physically, she was relaxed and at ease.
But emotionally, she was deeply scarred.
Being watched by a beautiful girl during such a private moment, it felt like this new chapter of her life was practically over.
Too tragic, excessively tragic.
Ye Zhiyun, with a blush still lingering on her cheeks, rested her left hand on her cheek, her black hair falling to one side, and asked cheerfully.
“Sister? Hehe… How do you feel now, a bit more relaxed?”
“……”
And you’re asking me this…
Alright… you want to know how I feel?
Then just take a look for yourself…
Ye Zhibai didn’t respond verbally, but merely half-turned her head back.
That nearly dead look in her eyes—was just how Ye Zhibai felt about herself.
Her light purple eyes, actually filled with a hint of resentment, seemed to reproach and blame.
They were slightly hollow, with a faint gleam that could capture the soul.
To others, it might be quite chilling.
And who is Ye Zhiyun?
She—she suddenly clenched her legs together!
“S-sister…! Don’t look at me like that right now! I—I… What have I done to deserve this?!”
“?!”
Oh no…
Ye Zhiyun felt that being stared at by her sister like this suddenly made her want to use the bathroom too!
Besides this, Ye Zhiyun was also very concerned about another thing.
That was… sister seemed to have forgotten how to use the bathroom earlier; did she relearn it now?
Given the way things just went… it would be hard to relearn, right?
Why am I such a genius?
Ye Zhiyun suddenly thought of a solution that would allow her to take care of her own needs and help Ye Zhibai reinforce her learning.
“Sister, if you still can’t remember how to use the bathroom… how about I show you? Watch the process again to reinforce it, actually… it just so happens I need to go too…”
What are you doing, suddenly like this!
No, not…
What did you just say you’d let me see?!
But before Ye Zhibai could react or respond,
Ye Zhiyun, with her cheeks flushed, had already slipped off her own JK uniform skirt in front of Ye Zhibai!
With a flick of her finger, she hooked the pure white fabric previously covered by the skirt, at the elastic band.
In an instant, a scene Ye Zhibai had never encountered in her past life unfolded before her eyes.
Dazzlingly bright, almost sacred, Ye Zhibai had to squint her eyes…
Primarily because since Ye Zhibai had awakened, Ye Zhiyun had maintained a somewhat aberrant demeanor in front of her. But now, as she suddenly turned shy and blushed.
No… no! Demonstrations or not, I, Ye Zhibai, am a gentleman. I should look only when there’s a justified reason and in an aboveboard manner! How could I take advantage of such a situation?
Right… right! So, I must decisively refuse… decisively…
However.
Ye Zhiyun’s melodious, rarely shy voice had already reached Ye Zhibai’s ears.
“Sister… watch carefully, okay? I can only demonstrate this once… I… I’d be too embarrassed to do it a second time.”
Alright then.
She’s just too adorable.
Ye Zhibai slowly, gradually, shifted her gaze back to the front.
The demonstration had to be watched.
This was about learning a skill.
—Nothing shameful about that.
