My Senior Sisters Are Not Human! - Chapter 147 - Chapter 147
“Finally want to chat with me?”
In the cafeteria after the afternoon class, Yae Mitsuha looked at Su Yuchen sitting across from her.
Even though Teacher Yufei wasn’t present now due to leave, she hadn’t resigned. With over a month until the high-level student council elections, as long as during this time she could leverage Teacher Yufei’s support for her elder brother, his chances of becoming the vice president of the student council would greatly increase.
So, it was necessary to grasp Su Yuchen quickly to influence Teacher Yufei and, subsequently, earn praise from her elder brother.
“Why else would I ask the class president to come out?” Su Yuchen said while eating.
Yae Mitsuha frowned and said, “Eat quickly and don’t talk while eating.”
“Noble etiquette?”
Yae Mitsuha ignored him, and without looking at her phone, she quietly waited for Su Yuchen to finish his dinner. After he wiped his mouth with a tissue, she spoke: “So what do you want to tell me?”
“The class president wants to use Teacher Tia’s influence to help your brother run for vice president of the student council, right?”
Not flinching at having her thoughts read, Yae Mitsuha maintained her expression. If someone lacked the brains to figure this out, they should just drop out.
“Yes.” She stated flatly. “Using the secret between you and Teacher Yufei in exchange for my brother’s successful election.”
“Still trying to threaten, huh… But do you have evidence?”
“No need for evidence.” Yae Mitsuha remained expressionless. “Once the rumor spreads, the school will take action against Teacher Yufei, even without proof. And… can you guarantee that you and Teacher Yufei won’t slip up?”
“Nobles like to use these tactics to bully us commoners, huh?”
“Stop the nonsense.” Yae Mitsuha raised her chin. “You just need to tell me your current thoughts. If you agree, the secret between you and Teacher Yufei will remain between us. And I can also guarantee in the name of Yae that you will be the best friends of Sun and Moon Country.”
“Can I tell Teacher Tia about this?”
“Yes.” Mitsuha nodded. After all, Teacher Tia Yufei wasn’t a noble miss from the Sacred Bright Empire, even if she was strong now, she wasn’t a match for the Yae family, and moreover…
“You can tell Teacher Yufei that if she’s willing, the Sacred Bright Empire will have another noble family, the Yufei family.”
Su Yuchen fell into thought.
Yae Mitsuha frowned. This guy was still hesitating when he was the one who called her out?
Wasting time!
She stood up directly. “By the end of this week, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, when Teacher Yufei returns, the school might have some unnecessary rumors.”
After saying this, she left.
Su Yuchen smiled, picked up his tray, wondering if the audio he gave to Yae Masakatsu would create a rift between the siblings.
‘It’s unlikely, after all, she respects him so much that she wouldn’t resent him no matter how he treated her.’
Leaving the cafeteria and walking towards the school gate, Su Yuchen pondered. He thought he should have his sister investigate the relationship between Yae Mitsuha and Yae Masakatsu. After all, why would a normal person detest their sister who liked and respected them so much?
Just as he couldn’t bear to say anything too extreme to Yuxi, how could he?
So, something’s off!
“While letting Yuxi investigate, I can also use the videos that can influence Yae Masakatsu’s election to gather some intelligence.”
Su Yuchen chuckled softly. The reason for targeting the Yae siblings wasn’t just due to Mitsuha’s threat and Masakatsu’s conflicts with the vampires due to the Lost Array. The more crucial reason was political, targeting the Yae family.
The Yae family in the Sun and Moon country represented one of the main hostile forces trying to undermine Chang’an Kingdom and dethrone the Xuanqing Imperial Family.
…
“Where have you been having lunch these days?”
On Thursday morning, on the way to school, Xia Yushuang couldn’t help but ask Su Yuchen, “Not in the cafeteria?”
“Nope,” Su Yuchen replied. “Didn’t I go to the racing competition with Senior Jiang before? I helped her win 15 million, and she treated me.”
Hearing this, Xia Yushuang was surprised, “You’ve been having lunch with her?”
Kristia took leave, and now Jiang Shengyue popped up?
“Only on Monday and yesterday at lunch,” Su Yuchen calmly stated. “Because she urgently needed that money, so she’s grateful to me for helping her win.”
“Oh right, today’s lunch is also with her. Are you coming?”
“I will!” Xia Yushuang withdrew her gaze.
“Then, I’ll call you later,” Su Yuchen said.
“Mhm,” Xia Yushuang nodded, then furrowed her brows. She realized she wasn’t as upset as she was when she found out about Kristia’s intimacy with him.
Is it because of Kristia that her bottom line has lowered?
Entering the university campus, Su Yuchen didn’t mind Xia Yushuang accompanying him through the school gate anymore. After all, there was Kristia and Jiang Shengyue now—one more or less made no difference.
Sitting in the classroom, Su Yuchen took out his phone and looked at the message sent by Jiang Shengyue.
【Sister Yue】: Guess what’s for lunch today?
Su Yuchen replied: Did you make something for me today too? Surprised.jpg
In the classroom, seeing the message from the avatar renamed to ‘Junior Yuchen’, Jiang Shengyue was momentarily stunned. Did I forget to tell him last night?
Oh~ I didn’t mention the idea of having lunch together on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to him either… it seems like mentally assuming things had become the norm.
She pursed her lips and typed: Made something. Are you coming?
【Junior Yuchen】: Sorry, I have plans.
Seeing Su Yuchen’s message, Jiang Shengyue almost subconsciously replied: With your childhood friend?
【Junior Yuchen】: How did you know? Shocked.jpg
Looking at the message sent by Su Yuchen and imagining his wide-eyed expression at this moment, a smile crept onto her lips.
As for how she knew?
Intuition.
And then the smile faded.
Jiang Shengyue immediately typed: What if I’ve made too much and can’t finish it?
【Junior Yuchen】: Shall we have lunch together then?
Okay.
After typing this, Jiang Shengyue supported her chin, looking at Su Yuchen’s message of ‘I’ll call you at noon’, murmuring to herself, “Childhood friends, huh?”
“But they haven’t seen each other for ten years… Even if they grew up together, it might not matter. It’s been so long, and they might not even consider each other as potential lovers.”
After all, they’re too familiar.
After sorting out her thoughts, Jiang Shengyue chuckled softly. She wasn’t the type to easily back down.
On the other side, Su Yuchen smiled seeing Jiang Shengyue’s agreement. With both of them coming and not even knowing that he deliberately brought them together.
“Bro, lunch together?”
“I have plans.”
“With whom?”
Su Yuchen smiled. “It’s with the senior sisters.”
“?”
Song Xinghui paused, his expression gradually contorting in the next moment. “Are you speaking human language?!”
…
At 12:20 noon, Jiang Shengyue arrived at the sparsely populated cafeteria, following Su Yuchen’s message.
She quickly noticed Su Yuchen and a girl with long ice-blue hair and eyes sitting opposite him.
The girl had a beautiful face but a rather cold demeanor.
His childhood friend turned out to be unexpectedly stunning.
Jiang Shengyue walked over, and Xia Yushuang looked over immediately… observing Jiang Shengyue’s red eyes seemingly harboring flames.
Xia Yushuang involuntarily sat up a little. She had already concluded that Jiang Shengyue had feelings for Su Yuchen because she was wearing a school uniform!
Since learning Jiang Shengyue’s name, when had she heard of her wearing something other than sports attire at school?
But now, here she was, fully displaying her graceful figure, undoubtedly because of Su Yuchen.
Because women like her can only dress up to please others.
Watching Su Yuchen wave normally to Jiang Shengyue, Xia Yushuang wondered, had he noticed her affection for him?
Approaching, Jiang Shengyue naturally sat beside Su Yuchen. “Sorry for being late.”
“It’s fine, we just got here,” Su Yuchen said, introducing Xia Yushuang to Jiang Shengyue first. “My childhood friend, Xia Yushuang, a sophomore in the Magic Engineering Department.”
“And you should know Senior Jiang Shengyue from the Verbal Arts Department,” Su Yuchen said to Xia Yushuang.
“Hello, Senior Jiang,” Xia Yushuang greeted calmly.
Seeing her guarded demeanor, Jiang Shengyue also sat up a bit. “Hello.”
The childhood friend of Su Yuchen seemed to have a strong liking for him.
In that case, she couldn’t relax.
Thinking so, Jiang Shengyue glanced lightly at Su Yuchen and took out a lunch box from the storage card, saying, “I made a bit too much today, so we don’t need to queue at the cafeteria.”
Seeing the exquisite lunchboxes on the table, Xia Yushuang was stunned. Weren’t they eating in the cafeteria before? Or at some restaurant outside?
Jiang Shengyue made it herself?!
His stomach had been filled with meals made by another woman?!
“What did you make today?” Su Yuchen curiously asked. As long as he treated this as a casual and emotionless matter, Xia Yushuang’s jealousy would naturally stop at a certain point.
“Scallion-fried pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, pickled fish, garlic baby bok choy, Mapo tofu…”
Jiang Shengyue opened the lids of the insulated lunchbox, a total of eight dishes and one soup, exceptionally rich.
Xia Yushuang glanced at the dishes—visually and aromatically appealing. She recognized a formidable opponent.
“Junior sister Xia, here.” Jiang Shengyue smiled and handed Xia Yushuang a pair of spare chopsticks. “Try and see if it suits your taste.”
“Thank you.” Xia Yushuang took the chopsticks and knew even before tasting that the flavor wouldn’t match her current mood.
“Junior Yuchen, here.”
Su Yuchen, even more unceremonious, took the chopsticks, maintaining an attitude of eating more and talking less to satisfy himself.
Jiang Shengyue watched Su Yuchen enjoying the carefully prepared lunch with a contented smile. To see someone she liked eating her specially prepared lunch so heartily was a kind of happiness in itself.
Xia Yushuang looked at the senior Jiang Shengyue, the senior one grade above her, and then at Su Yuchen, who was eating quietly. This didn’t seem like a gesture of gratitude after helping her win the race. It seemed more like a lunch specifically prepared for him.
Having experienced the “Shura Field” with Kristia, Xia Yushuang quietly ate and watched Jiang Shengyue, occasionally asking about the competition.
During the competition, something must have happened between Su Yuchen and Jiang Shengyue, otherwise, their relationship wouldn’t have progressed so rapidly.
Jiang Shengyue didn’t conceal anything, starting from nearly bumping into Su Yuchen three times. She didn’t hide anything about the Qiuming Mountain competition, especially emphasizing Su Yuchen’s attentive care for her.
Facing Su Yuchen’s childhood friend, she naturally needed to employ some offensive means.
While Xia Yushuang listened and occasionally asked for details, her expression remained unchanged throughout. Unlike the intense atmosphere during the shura field with Kristia.
Su Yuchen glanced at the two seemingly happily chatting senior sisters. Their interaction was much more “peaceful” than expected.
Their acting skills were indeed excellent, especially their conversations that probed the progress of each other’s relationship with Su Yuchen. This was in complete contrast to the occasional smiles on their faces.
Neither of them was naïve. Su Yuchen believed that if the Bad Ending really happens, they will definitely divide him up.
“Don’t just talk; eat quickly,” Su Yuchen interjected. After all, he didn’t understand their underlying conflicts at the moment.
When modifying Jiang Shengyue’s chat nickname, he already left the impression that he didn’t quite understand how to interact with girls. As for Xia Yushuang… he had long stopped “understanding” the various hints hidden under her sarcastic remarks.
A battle of wits between women? He really didn’t understand anything!
Jiang Shengyue smoothly picked up a chicken wing and put it in his bowl. “We’re eating too. You go ahead and eat. After you finish, you can nap on the table.”
Looking at the chicken wing in Su Yuchen’s bowl, Xia Yushuang’s expression remained unchanged. This made Jiang Shengyue somewhat helpless. Logically speaking, childhood sweethearts should be very panicked when seeing someone else around the person they like, but Xia Yushuang was very calm and no one could find her flaws.
The opponent was strong and couldn’t be underestimated!
Little did she know, Xia Yushuang’s thoughts were all about Su Yuchen’s ‘misfortune’ physique.
According to Jiang Shengyue, although there was a rockfall during the competition at Qiuming Mountain, for most of the time, no “misfortune” occurred, otherwise Jiang Shengyue would definitely emphasize this part.
But none!
Su Yuchen’s “misfortune” seemed to have lost its effect when he met her. The frequency of its occurrence was greatly reduced and it was even very unlikely to occur… just like now.
After observing for a while, Su Yuchen not only ate faster than usual, but there were no soup spills, mouth burns, broken chairs, or table legs… none of these happened!
Was this the reason why Su Yuchen always accepted Jiang Shengyue’s invitations?
Yeah, after finally being freed from this “misfortune” that had followed him since childhood, he definitely wanted to enjoy this feeling…
Maybe, in Su Yuchen’s mind, words like “fate” were already appearing.
Xia Yushuang’s eyelids drooped slightly. Why couldn’t she help him eliminate his “misfortune”?
Su Yuchen glanced at Xia Yushuang, whose expression changed slightly… It was according to his plan.
With Xia Yushuang, he was gambling!
He was gambling on her feelings for him, on the struggle she held upon knowing that someone else could significantly reduce or even eliminate his “misfortune.”
The struggle between other women who made the “misfortune” disappear and making Su Yuchen happier!
In the long run, if Xia Yushuang backs down, it will have an impact on others: Even his childhood sweetheart has backed down for him, can we also back down?
Su Yuchen bit the chicken wing bone forcefully. He was straying further and further along the path of a scumbag.
In order to avoid a potential fate of being “torn limb from limb by five horses” in the future, he really could think of any method… human limits were indeed pushed out under pressure.
“You’re even biting the bone?” Jiang Shengyue looked helplessly at Su Yuchen. “What if you choke?”
“Not too hard.” Su Yuchen replied casually.
Xia Yushuang looked at Su Yuchen. He definitely wouldn’t have dared to do this before, because he would have choked on the chicken bone for sure.
Could Jiang Shengyue really remove his misfortune? What’s the rationale behind it?
Why couldn’t it be me?
Watching Su Yuchen resume eating heartily, Xia Yushuang suddenly thought: had he wanted to eat freely like this for a long, long time?
“Take your time eating. No one’s snatching it from you.”
Listening to Jiang Shengyue’s gentle tone towards Su Yuchen, perceived as quite handsome by many girls, Xia Yushuang pursed her lips, unintentionally recalling something Kristia had said.
‘Childhood friends’ is synonymous with ‘the losing one’?
