My Senior Sisters Are Not Human! - Chapter 143 - Chapter 143
Su Yuchen kept walking, maintaining a three-meter distance from three girls. He suppressed all magical aura and his own scent, not even glancing in their direction.
Bang!
He felt a pain in his shin. The school’s garbage robot program malfunctioned, repeatedly hitting Su Yuchen’s leg with its garbage picker while chanting, “Smash the garbage, smash the garbage.”
Unfortunate…
Su Yuchen’s expression remained unchanged. He pushed the robot aside. Seeing it still aimed for him, he shoved it to the ground.
Even though his ‘unfortunate’ constitution acted as a self-surveillance system, Su Yuchen didn’t wholly trust it. When he first arrived in the Sky City, incidents of ‘misfortune’ persisted during his interactions with Xia Yusuang. Despite deepening relations with Kristia later on, occasional ‘misfortunes’ still occurred.
The ‘unfortunate’ constitution also depended on the degree of ’emotional’ involvement.
“Has the garbage collector robot had program errors before?”
“No.”
“Who procured this batch?”
“President, the new batch of robots was approved by me in the finance department.”
As the conversation got closer, Su Yuchen didn’t immediately leave. In such close proximity, he could continue to test the situation.
As for the ‘President’… judging from the dialogue, it could only be the student union president because the department union didn’t have the authority to purchase these robots.
“Are you hurt?” One of the student union vice presidents, Josephine Connor, asked Su Yuchen with a friendly tone.
“I’m fine.” Su Yuchen moved to the side. The three senior sisters each had a different fragrance… he didn’t smell the same scent as the girl from last night.
“Sorry, this was a mistake in our student union’s work. You can claim compensation from the finance office. It’ll be valid for a week,” Josephine maintained a friendly tone.
“It’s okay.” Su Yuchen glanced at the girl in the middle, whom he was seeing for the first time. He didn’t know her name because Yuxi’s intelligence report only mentioned her gender, nothing else.
Looking at the student union president’s beautiful face, Su Yuchen felt a bit helpless. No wonder Yuxi didn’t specify; she was… very pretty.
Su Yuchen retracted his gaze. Compared to the masked girl’s appearance from last night, it couldn’t be determined; the student union president, although having the same purple eyes, had a completely different temperament and gaze.
Snap!
The robot at his heels grabbed his leg with a pair of tweezers. Just as Su Yuchen turned his head… Bang!
Josephine calmly broke the robot’s arm. “President, I’ll have the Disciplinary Committee investigate the procurement route of these robots.”
The girl in the middle looked at Su Yuchen with her purple eyes. “A freshman?”
“Yeah.”
“I’m Mu Lingyan, the president of the Student Union.” Mu Lingyan assessed Su Yuchen.
She had seen this face on Sunday night, standing on the rooftop of the abandoned dormitory building with Tia Yufei.
No, she should be called the Night Queen, Kristia Newmoon, to be more precise.
So, was the freshman in front of her the human who covered himself tightly with a mask and sunglasses last night, the one who helped Phyllis, a noble of the Xia Clan of the blood race?
However, the current freshman’s eyes and scent were different from last night’s. Regarding magical power within… it was minimal, appropriate for a freshman.
Of course, it didn’t rule out someone like himself… deliberately masking certain aspects. After all, with power in hand, silent alterations to certain aspects were effortless.
“Student Union President?” Su Yuchen looked surprised at the senior student in front of him—pretending, because normal freshmen seldom paid attention to the student union’s structure.
“Yeah.” Mu Lingyan looked at him. “School equipment malfunctions are the responsibility of the student union. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you. Compensation can be applied for…”
“No need, I’m not injured.” Su Yuchen spoke rapidly. “President, I… I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, he quickly walked away from the leaders of the functional departments that managed all aspects of Sky University’s student affairs.
With appropriate and tense steps for the gaze behind, Su Yuchen left quickly.
‘Last night’s potential suspect.’
‘Last night’s potential suspect.’
Su Yuchen and Mu Lingyan thought simultaneously.
Mu Lingyan withdrew her gaze and said to Josephine, “It’s the first time the robot program has had an error. You represent the student union to compensate him… even though he declined, the student union must provide compensation.”
“Yes, President.”
“You continue. I have something to do.”
After Mu Lingyan left, Josephine quietly breathed a sigh of relief. “Nanakusa, did you notice that the President’s perfume is different from before?”
Nanakusa Chiyu nodded, lowering her voice, “Do you think the President has a boyfriend? Otherwise, why change perfume?”
“It’s very possible,” Josephine’s eyes lit up. “Probably not from our school, a working professional?”
“Why don’t you ask her?”
“The President never talks about anything outside of student council matters. If I ask, I’ll get scolded… You’re just hoping I’ll get scolded so you can run for president, aren’t you?”
“You’re overthinking,” Nanakusa Chiyu said lightly. “Hurry and deal with the robot; this is your responsibility, Vice President Connor.”
‘Sun and Moon’s little bitch, I know you have bad intentions.’ Josephine’s eyes flashed coldly. She walked toward the robot, looking into its eyes, she frowned slightly. “It’s back to normal now?”
…
At night, on a bench outside the campus, under the dim streetlights, Su Yuchen stared at his phone screen and Kristia’s chat interface.
He messaged her, and though there was a response, it wasn’t as quick as before.
He knew that what was said at lunch had an effect, but those words were necessary — as the lofty Night Queen, Kristia would now analyze the feasibility of this relationship with the mindset of a Night Queen, facing obstacles of status and race in her first love.
Su Yuchen wasn’t worried she’d sever the relationship… because little Hill was by her side.
During her contemplation of this relationship, she would inevitably neglect him for a while. During this time, it would be normal for him to improve his relationship with other seniors when he was ‘discouraged’. When she appeared in front of him again… she would find that she was no longer number one.
The method was very “scumbag,” but Su Yuchen didn’t have a better option.
Moreover, this path was destined to be a “scumbag”…
Screen off, Su Yuchen looked at the ground. “Three suspects…”
The female students with purple eyes and black-purple long hair discovered at school today were more than three, but several dyed their black-purple hair, and it was already fading. Excluding them, there were only three possible “suspects” for the girl from last night.
The possibility of Student Union President Mu Lingyan remained the highest. However, information gleaned from Song Xinghui revealed that Mu Lingyan’s magic and combat style didn’t match the girl from last night. The facts still needed investigation.
‘If she’s also studying at Sky University, she’ll definitely suspect me because on Sunday night, she saw me with Kristia, and last night I saved Phyllis, the vampire.’
‘She has the advantage in information.’
Su Yuchen sighed softly. In most cases, the amount of intelligence information might be the deciding factor in a match. The mysterious girl had seen his face, and his only advantage was his ‘unfortunate’ constitution.
At this stage, he could only rely on his constitution to judge the other’s identity. But in a shallow relationship, the advantage of the constitution didn’t outweigh her informational advantage.
“Odd pupils…”
Su Yuchen recalled the first meeting on Sunday night. Her eyes were different when she used magic, but after the fight, they turned purple. And last night, her eyes didn’t change during the battle.
‘She wouldn’t use her full power in just a sparring match.’
He did not doubt that he had mistakenly seen the heterochromia. He was still very confident in his eyesight. He was just not sure whether the heterochromia was natural or only occurred when her strength reached a certain level.
“Sitting here alone, are you praying to become a ‘god-waiting boy’ with an unclean body that the Sun and Moon country can’t get rid of?”
Hearing familiar sarcastic words, Su Yuchen raised his head to look at Xia Yusuang standing in front of him. “You know about this?”
“Because you’re like this… and indeed, you’re unclean now.” Xia Yusuang showed a faint smile. “Courtesy of a certain teacher.”
‘She knows about my relationship with Kristia?’
Su Yuchen calmly asked, “How am I unclean?”
“Her grapefruit looks good, right? Almost suffocating?” Xia Yusuang said lightly. “It’s a pity the teacher lives on campus. You should be sitting in school if you want to be ‘picked up’.”
Su Yuchen relaxed, stood up and said, “Doesn’t matter, I’m being ‘rescued’ by a beautiful senior here. I’ve never objected.”
“Be careful that you might be threatened with naked photos one day.” Xia Yushuang’s smile widened as she continued her mild sarcasm. “If the whole school sees them, will you get suspended?”
“Nope.” Su Yuchen turned to her with a smile. “With my charm, I’d be even more popular.”
Xia Yushuang’s breathing stagnated. “Pervert, hooligan, shameless… a yellow-bellied junior who’s becoming increasingly shameless. I should really lock you up in the house with a chain to prevent you from harming good girls and becoming a criminal who deserves death!”
“It’s a fact.” Su Yuchen withdrew his gaze, feeling relieved that there was no ‘misfortune.’ It indicated that Xia Yusuang wasn’t genuinely upset. However, the idea of chaining him up might be genuine.
“If you were a magic beast, you’d have been beaten to death by an angry mob long ago.”
“Ah, the mating season of magic beasts…” Su Yuchen chuckled. “To put it bluntly, humans, especially males, are in their mating season every day. After all, the mating season of non-humans is for reproduction, while humans are just enamored with the pleasure.”
“It seems tying you up at night might be necessary.”
“You could sleep at your own home,” Su Yuchen said half-jokingly.
“As your esteemed senior, it’s my duty to supervise you and prevent you from growing into a criminal hooligan who prowls at night,” Xia Yushuang said expressionlessly.
Bang—
The shattered street lamp fragments showered over Su Yuchen’s head like flower petals. Xia Yusuang was angry, annoyed at him trying to drive her out of ‘home.’
Though irritated, she still helped Su Yuchen clean up the fallen fragments.
Then she sneered, “With your ‘misfortune,’ you’ll probably have the police car arrive just as you’re preparing to commit a crime.”
“You’ll save me, right?” Su Yuchen said with a smile.
“Sorry, I won’t cover for you.” Xia Yusuang said plainly. “I’m a law-abiding citizen!”
“But out of humanitarian concern, I could ‘guard’ you properly in place of the police.”
“As long as you don’t steal what you’re guarding.”
“I told you, I’ll abide by the law.”
‘Which means stealing within legal limits.’
Su Yuchen glanced at Xia Yusuang’s profile. Her skin was fair, even whiter than Kristia’s, making him wonder how she maintained it.
“What’s for dinner?” he asked.
“Want to drink the northwest wind?” Xia Yushuang was still upset about him having lunch with Kristia without inviting her.
(T/N; Idiom ‘drink the northwest wind’ means to starve.)
“The weather forecast says it’s southeast wind tonight. How will you make that?”
“If I make it, can you eat it all?”
“Make it first, then we’ll see…”
Bickering all the way, they entered the house.
Xia Yusuang now felt awkward even returning to her own home. She changed into slippers and went straight to the kitchen to prepare the ‘northwest wind.’
At times like this, Su Yuchen couldn’t help but think senior sisters were better; they had a maternal instinct and were caring.
[Sister Yue]: Remember to come to Hidden Heart Lake tomorrow at noon.
Looking at the message sent by Jiang Shengyue, Su Yuchen sitting on the sofa started contemplating why he shouldn’t have lunch with Xia Yusuang tomorrow…
…
Wearing only a half-sleeved top that barely covered her hips, Jiang Xiyu set down the tarot cards and stared at the four cards on the coffee table.
Three major arcana cards: the Wheel of Fortune, the Lovers, and the Hermit were all upright, signifying good things.
Key encounters; the body’s desire for love, a deepening relationship; profound contemplation of roles and positions in the relationship, continuously exploring each other’s connection.
Yes, very accurate!
The remaining card was the ‘King’ card in the suit of wands.
“A King?”
What specific meaning could it have?
Unable to find an answer, Jiang Xiyu put away the tarot cards, stood up, and approached Jiang Shengyue, quickly glancing at her sister’s phone before hugging her from behind. “Sister, isn’t it too early to prepare lunch for tomorrow?”
“No.” Jiang Shengyue set her phone aside and rubbed her sister’s cheek. “What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
“I have something tomorrow at noon.” Jiang Xiyu calmly mentioned, “The student council president wants me to check the finances.”
“She’s giving you more work as soon as she returns.” Jiang Shengyue furrowed her brows. “Can’t someone else do it?”
“No.” Jiang Xiyu refused directly, not wanting her sister to know about her and Su Yuchen’s ‘secret’ for now.
“Okay.” Jiang Shengyue sighed, having to wait until the next time to introduce them.
Buzz.
Jiang Shengyue quickly picked up her phone to read Su Yuchen’s message.
Looking at her sister’s smiling face, Jiang Xiyu asked, “Boyfriend?”
“No.”
“I thought you got a boyfriend.”
“What’s wrong with getting a boyfriend?”
“This way I have a boyfriend too.”
“Um?”
“Sister said before, if we marry the same person, we won’t separate.”
“We were just playing house…”
“Did you lie to me, sister?”
“No, no.” Jiang Shengyue helplessly pinched her sister’s cheek. “You’re right, marrying the same person.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xiyu released her hold on Jiang Shengyue’s waist.
Sister, he… and me… I want them both!
