Chapter 59. Naive!
At such a close distance, there wasn’t a single noise in the room.
In this quietness, one could even faintly hear each other’s heartbeats.
Thump… thump…
No matter how icy Ye Zhibai was, having just tasted the flavor of the pudding, she found it hard to suppress her slightly accelerated breathing.
Ye Zhiyun was even worse.
Her breathing rhythm was like she had an engine installed.
Up and down!
My goodness!
Yun’er, she… she’s serious this time!
Otherwise?
Ye Zhiyun’s face was flushed red.
Strands of black hair stuck to her slightly sweaty face, making her look both awkward and anxious!
This ambiguous atmosphere made Ye Zhibai feel even more suffocated than the physical suffocation from before.
She had never experienced such a grand scene!
Ye Zhiyun tightly gripped Ye Zhibai’s wrist, her usually cool expression now appeared so quirky in front of Ye Zhibai, with her deliberately raised lips and the occasional swallowing, making the atmosphere even stranger!
However… Yun’er still hadn’t taken the next step.
Instead, a sudden look of self-reproach appeared on her face.
“Sister, huh… I know, my behavior is despicable. To put it bluntly, I’m worse than a beast.”
“Don’t say that, beasts aren’t as good-looking as you.”
“?”
My damn mouth! Always making mistakes when I’m nervous!
Ye Zhiyun slowly released her grip on Ye Zhibai’s wrist.
Hanging her head low, her half-visible face looked somewhat desolate.
She gave a self-deprecating smile and suddenly started to lament!
“I’ve always been waiting for my sister to wake up. Day and night, tossing and turning, yearning so much. But if I stand in my sister’s shoes… she wakes up without memories, feeling uneasy about everything, and has to face my rough behavior… she must be very sad, very confused, right? So I’m really worse than a beast.”
Sad?
Ye Zhibai asked herself, was there sadness just now?!
Nonsense!!
Though nervous and confused, she felt honored!
Ye Zhiyun, having started to speak, was already overwhelmed with sadness.
Even tears were welling up in her eyes.
“Speaking of which… sister has never responded to me. Not even once, even when I muster the courage to sneak in at night, I never dared to cross the line… because, sister never once said it was okay…”
“!”
You expect a mute to tell you it’s okay?!
You might as well teach a parrot to recite a rhyme!
And Yun’er, you just confessed something, didn’t you?
Sneaking in at night, maybe she really didn’t cross the line, as Guang Yu said, just some kissing and nibbling.
No, that’s already too much!
Logically, after saying these words, Yun’er might cry and run out.
Because her behavior suggested that!
However, Ye Zhiyun never played by the rules.
Ye Zhibai had just finished rubbing her aching wrist and hadn’t recovered yet.
That wrist was grabbed and pressed against the bookshelf again!
You won’t stop, will you?!
But this time, Ye Zhiyun’s eyes shone with a brilliance incomparable to her earlier self.
And there was resolute determination.
“Even so! I want to sleep with sister! Even if it’s out of selfish desire, I can’t stand the fact that we’re under the same roof but sleeping separately, absolutely unacceptable!”
Forcing you to sleep alone is really troubling you, huh?!
Ye Zhiyun had finished her declaration.
But seeing Ye Zhibai’s still calm demeanor, not responding.
Even Ye Zhiyun had to respect her sister’s decision.
Her tone was so disappointed, yet she forced a smile.
“Alright… I understand. Then goodnight, sister. See you tomorrow, I’ll prepare breakfast in advance, so go to bed early, okay? Also… don’t drink so many beverages, and don’t stay up late. I’ll… I’ll go back to my room now.”
The lonely turning figure was beyond what words like ‘lonely’ could describe.
And in those few seconds.
Ye Zhibai had already made a certain decision in her heart.
“Wait.”
“Eh?”
Ye Zhiyun stopped immediately. Really fast!
Ye Zhibai avoided her expectant gaze and lowered her head, focusing on the sleeping Guang Yu.
Guang Yu… even though you’re out, give me some courage!
Her light purple eyes, emotionless yet sparkling.
Ye Zhibai put her hands behind her back to prevent them from being grabbed and pinned against the bookshelf again, then spoke calmly.
“Yun’er, although I don’t remember the past, you said I’ve never responded to you, right?”
“Yes… sister always ignores me. Ah! I’m not saying sister is wrong, even so, I’m very happy!”
“Hmm, I mean, I’ve never responded to you, never agreed to anything. But, I’ve never rejected you either, right?”
“Eh…”
Never agreed, but… never rejected?
This awakening statement shook Ye Zhiyun, like hearing a parrot rap.
It seemed true!
Ye Zhiyun felt her legs trembling.
Her face was full of expectant blush as she asked hopefully.
“Sister, you mean…?”
“I mean, sleeping together… isn’t impossible, if only…”
“Yay!! Yay!! Sister forever! Forever!!”
Ye Zhibai hadn’t finished speaking when Ye Zhiyun jumped up!
Regardless of her noble status as the second miss of the Ye family, she hugged Ye Zhibai’s delicate body like a child.
Ye Zhibai hadn’t finished her last sentence!
She meant to say—if it’s just sleeping, it’s fine.
Not finishing that sentence, will it be a big problem!
Whether it’s a problem, Ye Zhibai no longer had the say.
Ye Zhiyun, with a trembling voice full of excitement, said, “Sister, wait a moment,” and then dashed out of Ye Zhibai’s room.
Uh… what is she doing?
Footsteps echoed back and forth in the corridor.
Returning, Ye Zhiyun held her pink pillow!
You brought your pillow… but where’s your blanket!
Ye Zhibai’s bed only had one blanket!
That goes without saying?
Ye Zhiyun tilted her head with a smile that could melt the stars.
“Hehe… this blanket is wide enough for both of us!”
Sleeping under the same blanket, huh?!
Forget it.
What I promised, I’ll keep.
Ye Zhibai gently covered Guang Yu with a small blanket before climbing into bed.
Guang Yu, sweet dreams.
Ye Zhiyun turned off all the lights in the room.
Only a small night light was left, emitting a faint glow.
Yun’er had already nestled in, smiling, waiting for Ye Zhibai.
Ye Zhibai lay down, turning her back to Yun’er, reciting pi in her mind.
But Yun’er’s sunflower fragrance constantly disrupted her thoughts, making her start over at the third decimal place.
Soon, she heard rustling behind her.
After a while, she felt herself being hugged from behind.
Tsk… this feeling!!
“Yun’er.”
“Mm? What’s wrong, sister?”
“Why are you… sleeping without your pajamas.”
“Hehe… I actually have a habit of sleeping naked…”
No, no, I bet a drink from Guang Yu you don’t have this habit!
Heart pounding, Ye Zhibai closed her eyes, trying to sleep.
She hoped to drift into dreamland quickly.
However.
When a pair of little hands started to explore, lifting her nightdress and roaming freely.
Ye Zhibai realized—she was too naive.
With a bitter smile, she acknowledged a clear reality.
—Tonight, sleep was not an option.
