My Senior Sisters Are Not Human! - Chapter 159 - Chapter 159
“Want to read together?”
Su Yuchen squatted down and glanced at the cover of the book in Bai Raorao’s hands. Shaking his head, he said, “I can’t understand the books you read.”
Although most mages had some healing magic skills, they only knew—remembering the structure of the magic array to perform healing magic, but not understanding why the magic array had to be structured that way.
Su Yuchen was the same; he only memorized the formula for healing magic and didn’t bother with derivation—just accurately using it was sufficient.
Bai Raorao withdrew her hand with some regret.
Su Yuchen changed the subject. “Have you been reading all day?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Haven’t eaten?”
Bai Raorao placed her book aside, turned to grab a white lunch box, and then faced him again. Opening the box, she looked at Su Yuchen, “I made it. You should eat.”
Su Yuchen’s lips twitched. I was just asking you, not stating it…. Looking at the delicately made food that had gone cold, this was probably not dinner but lunch.
After a brief silence, Su Yuchen picked up the chopsticks stuck behind the lid and took a bite. Although the food had cooled, it tasted quite good.
“Delicious,” Su Yuchen praised.
“Really?”
“Really.”
Upon hearing that, Bai Raorao’s eyes curved like crescent moons, her azure gaze shimmering with a hint of haziness. Her alluring peach blossom eyes could easily make someone’s heart flutter.
‘They say peach blossom eyes can captivate—more than just people, they’ll steal your very soul.’
Su Yuchen quickly looked away, handing the chopsticks back to Bai Raorao. “This was lunch, right? You should eat on time; eating cold food can make you sick.”
“Aren’t you eating more?”
“No,” Su Yuchen stood up. “I’m heading out now. And make sure not to stay up all night.”
Bai Raorao’s gaze followed his face as he stood up. “Did you come to see me specifically?”
“Yeah.” Su Yuchen nodded. “Senior, you’re too famous, so I was a bit curious… Especially about the book-cutting incident on Friday afternoon.”
“I don’t cut them anymore.” Bai Raorao pressed the book against her thigh, swaying slightly from side to side, her eyes never leaving Su Yuchen.
“Good. Bad habits should be corrected.” Su Yuchen turned away. This senior seemed a bit too cute for her age; she was already a sophomore, but how did she naturally exhibit such cuteness?
“I’m leaving.” Su Yuchen said hurriedly.
“Will you come back tomorrow?” Bai Raorao asked softly.
Su Yuchen hesitated for a moment, “Not sure. Bye.”
“Goodbye~” Bai Raorao waved her right hand lightly, only stopping when Su Yuchen disappeared from her view. She stood up and walked to the window. Her pure white stockings traced the curves of her legs, and the snug fabric subtly revealed the tender pink of her skin, round and endearing.
Soon, Su Yuchen appeared in her line of sight again. A hint of joy flashed in Bai Raorao’s peach blossom eyes. “The curse… is gone.”
Ding-ling~
The silver bell tied to her left ankle emitted a crisp sound, and with it, a pure white magic circle, the same color as her hair, quietly unfolded.
Exiting the library, Su Yuchen’s expression was somewhat serious. He felt that Bai Raorao knew him. Otherwise, why would she let him call her “Raorao” for no reason, share her homemade food with him, and not get upset at the things he said…?
Feelings don’t just appear out of nowhere. How could a genius like her fall for a guy she’s only met once? He didn’t possess a passive skill of ‘making the opposite gender like you’…
But the problem was, Su Yuchen had no memory of this white-haired senior. It couldn’t be that another childhood friend had suddenly appeared after he lost his memory, right? Because if they did know each other, with Bai Raorao’s current fame, Su Yuxi and Xia Yushuang would surely have known about this “childhood friend” of his.
Unless, like Kristia and Sylvia, she found something about him that attracted her.
‘If she isn’t human either, why would she help develop so many healing spells for humans? Even non-humans that are friendly towards humans wouldn’t go to such lengths.’
“If she really knows me, why wouldn’t she just say it… or is she upset that I didn’t recognize her?”
Amidst his muttering, a sudden call of “Yuchen” came from the front. Sylvia, now in her school uniform, stood quietly in front of him, the black stockings encasing her voluptuous legs shimmering under the streetlights… Huh?
Su Yuchen’s eye twitched, and he cautiously took a step back. “Senior Sylvia, what are you… No, is there something wrong?”
“Hmm?”
Su Yuchen remained silent. She definitely wanted him to ask again, ‘What are you doing?’ but he wasn’t going to fall for it. “I’m leaving.”
“Hmm.” Sylvia didn’t stop him. She watched as he passed by and then slowly turned around.
“See you tonight.”
She said softly.
······
When Su Yuchen got home, Xia Yushuang walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Sitting on the sofa, he glanced at the newspaper on the coffee table, realizing he had forgotten to return it to the library after the class meeting. Picking it up, he casually asked, “Have you heard about the school’s ghost story of the ‘flying pages’ in the library?”
Without looking back, Xia Yushuang replied, “Heard something about it. Why?”
“It’s a ghost.” Su Yuchen said seriously. “I saw a ghost with white hair there.”
“A ghost?” Xia Yushuang turned around to stare at the back of Su Yuchen’s head and sighed softly. “Can’t even differentiate between people and ghosts… Are you increasing your self-release frequency to anime girls in your phone during the quiet nights?”
“You’ve always been a bit dense. If you end up nearsighted, will there be any hope for you?”
That familiar sharp tongue.
Su Yuchen chuckled and asked, “You know that ghost?”
“Don’t know her, but I know she’s not a ghost. She’s Bai Raorao from the same year as me, in the Medical Magic Department, probably from Xuanqing.” Xia Yushuang placed the prepared dishes on the table. “Come and eat.”
‘Not childhood friends.’
Su Yuchen confirmed this. That meant Bai Raorao must have met him after he turned eight, perhaps during some random encounter?
“Ah, so her name is Bai Raorao.” Su Yuchen stood up and walked into the kitchen, pretending to be enlightened.
Hearing that, Xia Yushuang gave him a wary look, “You talked to her… Oh, probably not. She doesn’t let anyone get close… So, did you bother her and get beaten up?”
“You think everyone is as violent as you?” Su Yuchen pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up a piece of fish with his chopsticks.
“Me? Violent?” Xia Yushuang narrowed her eyes. Aside from kissing him a bit aggressively when he was asleep, when was she ever violent towards him?
“Poisonous tongues are also violence!” Su Yuchen stated confidently.
“Don’t you like it?” Xia Yushuang sneered. “You seem to be enjoying it, Mr. M!”
“Not an M.” Su Yuchen said calmly. “Just seeking diversity.”
It would be boring if all the senior sisters had the same personality. It’s better that each has their own quirks; that way, interacting with them doesn’t feel tiring or dull.
“So, do you prefer Teacher Tia’s sexiness, or Jiang Shengyue’s liveliness, or my sharp tongue?”
“All of them.”
“Heh.”
Xia Yushuang got angry as a fishbone got stuck in her throat.
Su Yuchen used his magic to dissolve the fish bone without changing his expression. He concentrated on eating and thought that he liked Sylvia’s calm and seductive temperament the most now.
Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll never forget…
After dinner, even though Xia Yushuang was angry, she still didn’t let Su Yuchen do the dishes alone. However, Su Yuchen didn’t just sit on the sofa by himself. Instead, he stayed in the kitchen with her, only leaving together once she finished washing up.
Visibly, Xia Yushuang’s expression softened a lot.
Su Yuchen was very adept at handling details when interacting with girls. When details were handled well, his favorability naturally skyrocketed.
“I’m going to take a shower.” Xia Yushuang glanced at him and walked into the secondary bedroom to get her pajamas.
‘Does she want me to peek?’
Su Yuchen glanced at her in the room. Normally, she wouldn’t announce it beforehand, but am I that kind of person?
Of course not.
However, to satisfy Xia Yushuang’s little expectation, he didn’t immediately head back to his room. Instead, he sat down on the sofa.
Xia Yushuang, carrying her pajamas into the guest bathroom, hummed softly, a slight smile forming at the corner of her mouth.
‘You really want me to peek….’
Su Yuchen glanced at the bathroom, listening to the sound of water splashing inside… Not a shower, but…
He pondered for a moment. Didn’t some girls in some online posts say that they would try to stand and do that in the shower like guys…Oh, not all girls have weird fetishes.
Except for Sylvia.
But Sylvia didn’t do it while standing, she… couldn’t help herself.
“Succubi are just too tempting.”
Muttering to himself, Su Yuchen quickly picked up his phone to divert his attention, seeing an unread message from Kristia.
【Teacher Tia】: What are you doing?
As a seasoned CPU guy, Su Yuchen directly understood the hidden meaning in this sentence: Why haven’t you messaged me for so long? Hurry up and message me!
A smile flickered in his eyes. Although Kristia was the lofty Night Queen, she couldn’t hide her girlish identity when it came to relationships.
However, Su Yuchen didn’t reply immediately. After all, there wouldn’t be any “read” receipts sent to her. He decided to let her stew a little longer.
Never underestimate the power of making a girl feel “anxious,” because that will lead to thoughts like, “Does he not like me anymore?” “Is he chatting with some other girl?” “Did I upset him?” “Maybe I should lower my pride and reach out.” The more she overthinks, the angrier she gets; the angrier she gets, the more she overthinks. Then, at that moment, if you explain things and say something sweet, she’ll be all smiles, and her favorability will soar.
The process of going from favorability to liking ultimately involves a back-and-forth struggle. Being too much of a “lickspittle” or too aloof won’t work; one needs to strike a balance.
So, for the past few days, he’d been the one constantly messaging Kristia. Now, it was her turn to feel a bit of crisis and chase after him.
Exiting the chat interface, Su Yuchen started reading news from the Xuanqing Empire. Although Yuxi had taken office not long ago, three high-ranking officials in the finance ministry had already been taken away for investigation.
Those who stepped into power were all officials who had previously worked in the Northern Territory.
Yuxi was gradually taking control of the finance ministry. Once he had a high say, he would target the local nobles. But right now, those local nobles must already be feeling uneasy.
The cabinet won’t interfere, as they’re eager to see conflicts between the royalists and the local aristocracy and power brokers. This way, their reformist faction stands to gain the most.
“The cabinet doesn’t realize that Yuxi’s conflict with the local forces isn’t about weakening her own power through internal strife, but rather about securing a position where she can stand on equal footing with the cabinet.”
The current Xuanqing Empire was a chaotic web of factions—there were the imperial family, the cabinet, the nobles, local forces, and even covert operations from foreign powers. The imperial family’s royalists and the cabinet’s reformists were the most powerful factions. Therefore, before their final showdown, they had to deal with all the minor players. Only the ultimate victor would be qualified to lead the newly reborn Xuanqing Empire.
“The Xuanqing Empire…” Su Yuchen smiled faintly. “If the world were only inhabited by humans, it wouldn’t matter who became the emperor…”
Closing the news app, Su Yuchen turned to Jiang Shengyue’s message.
【Sister Yue】: See you at noon tomorrow, don’t be late.
‘She didn’t even ask if I’m free.’
Su Yuchen smiled. Clearly, Xia Yushuang had made her feel a sense of urgency, so her approach had become more aggressive.
But then, Su Yuchen had a bit of a headache. Given Jiang Shengyue’s straightforward approach to relationships, how could they coexist?
That’s a tough one.
Xia Yushuang had a ten-year hiatus, so the initiative was in his hands. But Jiang Shengyue, being human as well, how would she accept someone else?
‘If only they were all like senior succubus.’
Closing his eyes, Su Yuchen leaned back on the sofa, listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, feeling a bit hungry…
“Speaking of which…”
Su Yuchen opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling with curiosity. “Could Yushuang be like Kristia and Sylvia… with hair the same color as… down there?”
“A bit curious…”
Su Yuchen glanced at the bathroom door and couldn’t help but think of Kristia and Sylvia, breaking the impression that black did have a strange kind of sexiness and eroticism.
“I think it was ice blue… I’ve seen it before…”
“If it’s an icy blue…”
The former virgin Su Yuchen wouldn’t have thought too much about it, but now, no longer a virgin, he couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. However, trying to picture it wasn’t easy. After all, the anatomy between people differs, and imagining only a part without the whole picture felt lacking.
He got up, grabbed the newspaper, and placed it on the shoe cabinet by the door so he wouldn’t forget it when heading to school tomorrow. Then, Su Yuchen returned to the sofa and sat down. He only stretched lazily after hearing the sound of the shower stop.
Since Xia Yushuang believed that Jiang Shengyue was the one who broke his streak of misfortune, he no longer had to constantly pretend to be unlucky in front of her.
Click.
The bathroom door was pulled open, in the midst of mist, Xia Yushuang, wrapped in a towel, walked out.
“Didn’t you take pajamas in?” Su Yuchen asked in surprise.
“It fell and got wet on the floor.”
“Even then…” Su Yuchen closed his mouth. He couldn’t say that even then she could have worn a bathrobe. Clearly, Xia Yushuang was intentionally letting him see her, so how could he be so tactless as to make her feel embarrassed?
Xia Yushuang tugged at the hem of her towel, water droplets slowly sliding down her fair thighs. She glanced at Su Yuchen and walked towards the sofa. “Your eyes haven’t been very honest today.”
Almost instinctively, Su Yuchen responded, “I’m a bit curious about the color… uh, never mind.”
Catching himself just in time, Su Yuchen quickly stood up. Ever since earlier, his thoughts had been drifting towards inappropriate things—succubus aftereffects???
“It’s nothing, I’ll go shower too.” He hurried into his own bedroom.
Xia Yushuang frowned. “Color? What color?”
