My Senior Sisters Are Not Human! - Chapter 150 - Chapter 150
Su Yuchen couldn’t determine if the girl in his sight, her back facing him, was a ghost, but what he could ascertain was that she was the one responsible for making each paper page ‘fly away’.
The thick book that was initially open on her lap stopped turning pages. The ghostly girl placed her left hand on the paper while a seemingly ancient handmade knife in her right hand slid over the book. With great care, she cut out tiny ‘papers,’ as if handling some precious treasure, neatly placing them into a small box beside her on the floor.
Hiss~
Amidst the faint sound of flipping pages, the ‘ghost’ girl again reached out with the knife towards the book. Su Yuchen took a step forward. “Library books shouldn’t be damaged.”
The girl seemed oblivious to the voice, carefully cutting out another small, perfectly formed character. Su Yuchen saw it clearly; it was the word ‘is’.
As she was about to cut out another word, Su Yuchen hurriedly grasped her wrist. Once again, he emphasized, “Please don’t cut randomly!”
He distinctly felt a surge of force in his palm, but it receded like a tide. The ‘ghost’ girl lifted her head, her long, snow-white hair swaying, revealing a stunningly beautiful face in Su Yuchen’s gaze amidst the crimson glow of the setting sun.
In the red hues of the evening sun, her delicate cheeks shone like a new moon, radiating a sacred beauty.
Her azure eyes were as clear as a stream, with a gentle glint in her peach blossom-like eyes, and her innocent smile carried a purity that was as refreshing as a rare flower in the world.
Su Yuchen involuntarily loosened his grip, and the girl tilted her head. Her long, snow-white hair brushed against the floor, her cherry lips slightly parted, releasing gentle tones.
“Why did you grab me?”
Perhaps reminded of something, the clear peach blossom eyes curved like a crescent moon, with gleaming starlight, emitting a gentle radiance that intertwined and aimed towards Su Yuchen.
Su Yuchen involuntarily took a step back, his gaze inadvertently shifting away. The pure and gentle aura emanating from the ‘ghost’ girl’s every expression made him feel enveloped, with no room for resistance.
“Sorry.” Su Yuchen involuntarily lowered his voice, as if afraid to startle her with a louder tone.
“It’s okay.” Each word uttered in a gentle and melodious tone seemed like a stream, carried with a hint of tenderness, gently dispersing in the air, like ripples in the water, slowly encircling Su Yuchen as if to entwine him.
The low, soft voice seemed to be alluringly affectionate, echoing repeatedly in his mind. Su Yuchen uneasily clasped his hands, feeling an inexplicable comfort surrounding his body, almost making him want to escape.
He involuntarily lowered his head.
Ding ding
The clear sound of the bell rang again. The girl placed the book she held to her side, her fair hands supporting the floor. With a slight effort, her legs straightened from a bent position to face Su Yuchen. Then… her knees bent once again. Amidst a series of crisp bell sounds, she quietly knelt on the floor, her finely defined, fair hands lightly placed on her thighs.
Because of her sitting posture, her thighs, wrapped in pure white stockings without a single blemish, slightly expanded, yet there was no trace of any ‘desire.’ It looked more like a blossoming white lotus.
The white hair facing away from the window took on a layer of the evening sun’s radiance, gently blooming with a warm hue. Su Yuchen noticed a hint of vermilion between her brows.
It was this vermilion dot, coupled with her peach blossom eyes, that added a slightly indescribable charm to her gentle smile.
She just kept staring at Su Yuchen with her peach blossom eyes, those eyes that naturally carried a seductive allure. Under the gentle gaze, they exuded a delicate charm, reminiscent of the saying, “one glance back, a hundred smiles blossom.”
She remained silent, and Su Yuchen also found himself momentarily at a loss for words, his gaze wandering everywhere except for daring to linger too long on her eyes.
“Don’t cut the books next time.” After a long silence, Su Yuchen spoke softly, “It’s not good to have such a habit.”
“Okay.”
Su Yuchen’s lips moved, feeling that his previously effective ‘teasing language’ toward Kristia and Xia Yushuang had completely failed at this moment.
“I’ll return these.”
“What?” Su Yuchen asked instinctively.
The girl pushed the box filled with tiny papers toward Su Yuchen’s feet. “These… can be returned now.”
Feeling like there was more to her words, Su Yuchen glanced at the box. Realizing that it wasn’t polite to remain standing while she was kneeling, he quickly squatted down to meet her at eye level.
“Can be returned now?” Su Yuchen echoed, looking at the countless small papers inside the box, all a jumble of separate words or combinations like ‘power,’ ‘quantity,’ ‘just,’ ‘is,’ forming phrases like ‘is just,’ ‘is power.’
Why isn’t there ‘power is’? As this doubt crossed his mind, the girl, who had been looking up at Su Yuchen, now looked at him with a slight downturn of her eyes, her voice seemingly softened: “Fulfilling a wish.”
“A wish?”
Su Yuchen was momentarily stunned. The girl nodded, and he wondered if this was some new divination game popular among girls.
Shifting his gaze from the tiny paper scraps in the box, Su Yuchen exhaled and said to her, “You should quickly paste these paper scraps back into the books. If you’re caught, you’ll be punished.”
“Punished?”
The girl’s azure eyes suddenly brightened, her supple posture becoming more erect. Su Yuchen, who had relaxed a bit, involuntarily shifted his gaze downwards—oh, a little fierce girl.
But why did her eyes seem to carry a hint of anticipation?
Meanwhile, behind the girl, out of Su Yuchen’s sight, her jade-like toes under the pure white stockings occasionally contracted and relaxed, resembling the tail of a kitten.
“Yes, the librarian will probably lecture you,” Su Yuchen said, his breath catching as he noticed the light in the girl’s peach blossom eyes dim slightly.
What, did she want me to lecture her? Su Yuchen, now accustomed to the girl’s gentle demeanor, stood up. “Hurry and tidy up. I’m leaving now.”
The girl’s gaze followed his movement as he stood, her upturned eyes fixed solely on Su Yuchen’s.
“Is there anything else?”
“Rao… Raorao.” The girl cautiously spoke, her fair little hand clenched, revealing clear veins and joints. “Bai Raorao.”
“Your name?”
“Mm-hmm.” The frequency of the girl’s nodding increased, making her appear very cute.
“I’m Su Yuchen.” Su Yuchen responded with his own name and then turned around. “I’m leaving.”
Watching his receding figure, Bai Raorao smiled lightly. Raising her right hand gently, she uttered in a melodious and tender voice, “Goodbye~”
Su Yuchen’s steps faltered, and he glanced back at her. In the sunset’s glow, Bai Raorao’s mouth curved, her eyebrows curved, her eyes curved, her azure gaze as clear as a stream, as gentle as moonlight.
“Goodbye… again.”
Waving his hand, Su Yuchen hurriedly ‘escaped’ her gaze.
As her waving hand gradually slowed down, Bai Raorao lowered her head, looking at the box full of tiny papers. Amidst the tender blue radiance that lingered around her, the papers fluttered like butterflies from the box, dancing in various directions towards the bookshelves.
Ding ding
With the crisp and pleasant bell sounds, Bai Raorao, who was kneeling, moved her knees as if walking and opened the book she had just closed.
The small pages flew into it, perfectly fitting into every gap.
Gently closing the book and holding it to her chest in the twilight’s glow, Bai Raorao seemed like a saint praying. She murmured softly, “Wish… granted…”
…
Walking quickly to another floor, Su Yuchen couldn’t help but look back at the deserted corridor. There was no one, yet he could almost feel the tender and gentle aura lingering in her peach blossom eyes. When he withdrew his gaze, he realized his fingers gripping the newspaper had turned sweaty.
He had experienced a similar feeling of ‘escaping’ before, with Sylvia. But Sylvia’s feeling was that of ‘being devoured,’ while Bai Raorao’s was that of ‘being melted.’
“Could she really be the library ghost?”
Su Yuchen muttered to himself and took a step forward, but his steps suddenly stopped.
“No misfortune?”
Once again… no misfortune!
This was the sixth time after arriving at Sky University that there was no ‘misfortune’!
Su Yuchen carefully recalled the ten minutes he spent with Bai Raorao… indeed, nothing unfortunate had happened, not even a little bit!
But it could also be that because of the misfortune of the toppling bookshelf, it had entered into cooldown. However, Su Yuchen was a hundred percent sure that the absence of misfortune was all due to Bai Raorao!
Leaning against the wall, Su Yuchen exhaled softly, staring blankly at the opposite wall, lost in thought for a long time, gradually calming his mood.
“The sixth…”
Muttering to himself, Su Yuchen then considered: if Bai Raorao was the sixth, and if his earlier speculation was correct, did that mean there wouldn’t be a seventh in the future?
“Yuxi is not it.” Su Yuchen directly ruled out Su Yuxi, feeling a bit relieved. If Su Yuxi was also involved, having feelings for someone who looked like himself would be weird.
“Bai Raorao…”
After pronouncing the unfamiliar name once, Su Yuchen walked to the smart screen to register the borrowing record and then left the library.
Glancing back at the library while retreating, Su Yuchen’s expression was somewhat complex. In this very library, he encountered two girls who made him want to ‘escape.’
One was aggressive, the other gentle.
…
Golden Coast Villas, Gold Mountain Island, Villa No. 14.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at the tightly closed study door. Her sister had rushed in there right after dinner… quite unusually, to read.
‘What is sister reading?’
Shifting her gaze, Jiang Xiyu looked at the stack of tarot cards in her hand. She tilted her head, thinking for a moment, then began to divine her sister’s future fortunes.
After meticulously completing the divination process, the card on the coffee table was the Sun from the Major Arcana.
Reversed Sun.
Will sister be depressed for a while? Jiang Xiyu stared at the Sun card for a moment, then put it back in its original position before getting up and approaching the study door.
“Sister.”
“What is it?”
Jiang Xiyu pushed open the study door, eyeing the thick book written in elvish script. “I’m going out tomorrow.”
“Hmm…” Jiang Shengyue looked at her younger sister. “Made plans with your friends?”
Jiang Xiyu nodded. She usually went out every Saturday, but since her sister hadn’t been racing recently, she needed to inform her in advance.
“What time?”
“Nine o’clock.” Jiang Xiyu pondered for a moment, her cherry-colored eyes looking slightly dazed as she tried not to reveal her true nature. “I’ll be back for dinner.”
“Then I’ll prepare dinner.” Jiang Shengyue leaned back in her chair, relaxed as she looked at her sister, teasing, “Do you need sister to accompany you?”
Jiang Xiyu shook her head. “I’m not a child anymore.”
Besides, she didn’t want her sister to see that kind of outfit.
“That’s true, Xiyu is all grown up now.” Jiang Shengyue smiled. “Just let me know before you leave tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Jiang Xiyu nodded, then asked, “What book is sister reading?”
Jiang Shengyue, her left hand resting on the open book, smiled. “How to become a ‘hero’.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiyu tilted her head in a gesture of confusion. Jiang Shengyue didn’t explain further, only saying, “I’ll introduce you to someone next week.”
Next week, surely her little sister wouldn’t still not have time to have lunch with junior Yuchen.
“Who?”
Jiang Shengyue maintained her mystery, her lips curving into a smile as she said softly, “You’ll know when you meet them.”
Jiang Xiyu was silent for a moment before asking, “Will Xiyu like this person?”
Without much thought, Jiang Shengyue replied, “Of course, sister hopes Xiyu will like him.”
“If sister likes, Xiyu will like too,” Jiang Xiyu said quietly. “Sister, aren’t you going to sleep?”
“You go to sleep first.” Jiang Shengyue tapped the book page with her finger. “I’ll go to sleep after reading a bit more.”
“Don’t stay up too late, sister.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Xiyu left the study. Jiang Shengyue refocused her attention on the book under her hand. This was the third volume of the “Century Records,” passed down through generations of Elven kings. As a comprehensive “encyclopedia” covering various aspects, the “Century Records” contained the world’s most extensive knowledge and accounts.
She believed that this book must have some records related to Su Yuchen’s “misfortune” constitution. Although the “Century Records” in her possession weren’t complete, obtaining the full set wouldn’t be difficult… For now, she’d screen through one volume at a time.
“It’s so thick.”
Jiang Shengyue sighed, then began reading earnestly. Since this was a self-motivated interest, no matter how thick the book was, she had enough drive to read through it.
