Folks, what does it feel like to be cradled in the arms of a beautiful girl?
In the past, Ye Zhibai had once fantasized about this very scene, only to dismiss it with a laugh, finding the very idea ridiculous.
Something like that was fine as a passing thought, but anyone with a shred of common sense knew it was an utterly impossible, pie-in-the-sky pipe dream.
Besides, if it actually happened, she’d probably die of sheer embarrassment.
And now, reality had proven her right—she really was dying.
Ye Zhibai had traded her previous life’s gruesome end under the wheels of a car for this moment to finally come true!
But right now, she truly felt like she might die of shame all over again!!
Holy crap, Sis, our heights and weights look about the same—how the hell did you scoop me up so effortlessly without even breaking a sweat?!
The pride of having lived twenty years as a boy in her previous life instinctively drove Ye Zhibai to struggle.
A pair of snow-white little feet kicked forward a couple of times, but all that accomplished was shaking her slippers off onto the floor. No real effect whatsoever.
She didn’t dare make any big movements!
Her tensed legs felt like a stern warning.
—Any wild thrashing, and it wouldn’t just be a trickle this time.
Even if Ye Zhiyun held her steady, she was still just a girl with slender arms and legs. The moment Ye Zhibai squirmed, it made things difficult for her too.
“Sis…! Please don’t move! Aren’t you in a hurry?”
“…”
Fair enough. You win.
Sometimes, you had to abandon your dignity to preserve it even better.
Ye Zhibai tilted her head to glance at the spot where she had been standing moments ago.
A few glistening strands on the floor made it clear: any more fooling around, and the consequences would be disastrous.
So, she abruptly gave up the fight, letting her entire body go slack.
Eyes closed, mind blank.
She went limp, obedient as could be.
Her arms and legs dangled naturally alongside her silver hair, like a salted fish that had lost all dreams.
Ye Zhiyun finally steadied herself.
Her body was stable now, but Yun’er’s heart was leaping with uncontainable joy!!
Sis in my arms… so docile!!
Her expression still looked disgusted…! But she was actually listening to me!
Ye Zhiyun swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the impulse bubbling inside her to just pet and cuddle Ye Zhibai right then and there.
The top priority now was to help her sister release… and relax.
So, without waiting any longer, Ye Zhiyun started walking.
“Hang on tight to me, Sis. If it feels uncomfortable at all, tell me right away, okay?”
“Uh-huh…”
Sis, I’ve already gone limp. Do whatever.
Wait—no! Before I fully surrender, I need to say one more thing!
“A little… slower.”
“Okay… I promise!”
She had to go slow and steady!
Wahh, it was like carrying a cup brimming with water—too much shaking, and it’d spill everywhere.
Ye Zhiyun focused all her strength into her wrists and palms, cradling Ye Zhibai’s body as steadily as possible.
A thin sheen of sweat beaded on Yun’er’s forehead. She used her heel to shut the ward door properly before heading toward the room’s interior.
No—the door was already closed.
So she was heading deeper into the room!
“?”
Before Ye Zhibai could voice her confusion, Ye Zhiyun carried her across to the opposite side of the sickbed, right up to the marble wall.
Only when they drew near did Ye Zhibai notice that the wall’s surface wasn’t perfectly seamless.
?
No need for analysis—Ye Zhiyun turned sideways and nudged her shoulder against an inconspicuous little button on the wall.
Screeech.
“!”
In Ye Zhibai’s line of sight—shocked on the inside even if her face didn’t show it—an automatic door, perfectly camouflaged to match the marble wall, slid open to either side!
And inside was exactly what Ye Zhibai had been desperately craving: the bathroom!
Dozens of square meters, spacious and spotless, with a bathtub, tiled floor, and a gleaming porcelain throne.
This… this was modern technology!
Even the bathroom was hidden like a secret chamber?!
Ye Zhibai stared in a daze.
“Yun’er… didn’t you say… the bathroom outside is on the fifteenth floor?”
“Ah, yeah, Sis, the one outside is on the fifteenth floor. But we have one right here in the room—that’s why I told you not to go out…”
The entire setup in this ward had been custom-built just for Ye Zhibai. There was even a coffee machine on the bedside table.
But with Sis in a coma for two years, none of it had seen any use.
Now, at last, it could finally serve its purpose!
Ye Zhiyun carefully lowered Ye Zhibai back to the floor.
Only then did Ye Zhibai realize… Yun’er hadn’t made it look easy at all. The sweat on her forehead and her slightly ragged breathing showed how much effort it had taken.
Yet Yun’er kept smiling, stepping back outside the bathroom with forced composure.
“There you go, Sis… whew. Go ahead and take care of it.”
Take care of it… Of course I want to!
But Ye Zhibai froze in place, at a total loss.
Because Yun’er showed no sign of leaving. She just stood there, staring intently.
Do girls just watch each other pee or something?!
Of course not! Ye Zhibai wasn’t clueless!
“You… not going out?”
She figured Ye Zhiyun would get the hint and step away for a bit.
But no—her expression was resolute.
“I’m sorry, Sis, but I’m not falling for your bravado again. Your condition is still really bad right now. I have to stay right with you. Please don’t worry about my feelings!”
I’m not!!
Damn it, I just want to use the freaking bathroom!!
Ye Zhibai opened her mouth to protest, but the urgent pressure in her body made her clutch at her skirt hem in tense panic.
Urk… skirt hem?
How the hell did you…
Ye Zhibai suddenly went rigid.
“…”
Ye Zhiyun suddenly realized a possibility.
“Sis… don’t tell me you’ve… forgotten how to use the toilet? You could do it fine before the coma…”
“Sorry…”
Spot on! Given a little time, Ye Zhibai probably could’ve figured it out.
But time was the one thing she didn’t have!
Even with her cool, handsome features, Ye Zhibai’s eyes now betrayed a flicker of urgency, shame, and fluster.
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Zhiyun’s eyes lit up with dazzling excitement!
She patted her ample chest proudly and grinned.
“It’s okay, Sis! Don’t worry!”
Worry about what?!
“I’ll teach you! Step by step, hands-on!”
“No need…”
“You absolutely mustn’t—”
“—be shy with me, Sis. It’s no trouble at all!”
“…”
When nature calls most urgently, sometimes you just have to shut up—because while your upper half is still talking, your lower half might betray your dignity at any second.
This silence was all the permission Ye Zhiyun needed.
She dove right in! Grabbing the hem of Ye Zhibai’s dress and flipping it up in one swift motion!
“!”
Amid Ye Zhibai’s explosive mix of shock and mortification, she felt most of her body now fully exposed to the air… and to Ye Zhiyun’s gaze.
Ye Zhibai could hear it—Yun’er’s breathing now carried a subtle difference from the earlier exertion, something almost… intriguing?
With Yun’er’s help, the skirt hem was tied securely around her waist.
“…Sis, you can sit down now… Want me to handle your underwear too?”
“No… no… mmph…”
What choice did Ye Zhibai have to resist?
She didn’t even know how to handle the toilet situation herself—zero ground to stand on.
Utterly surrendering, she let Yun’er maneuver her. In no time, she was perched on the pristine porcelain throne.
Ye Zhiyun clapped her hands in satisfaction and tilted her head with a smile.
“All set, Sis. Now, just follow your instincts and let it all out!”
“Hoo…”
She was numb to it all now.
Even under Yun’er’s watchful eyes, Ye Zhibai couldn’t fight her body’s urges anymore.
As her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, the whole world seemed to fall into tranquil peace.
Summer showers were like that—sudden in arrival, sudden in departure.
With Ye Zhiyun’s assistance, Ye Zhibai’s dress was smoothed back into place.
Physically, Ye Zhibai felt worlds lighter, radiant even.
But mentally? A thousand wounds and scars.
Being stared at by a beautiful girl through the entire release… her new life might as well be over.
Tragic. Utterly tragic.
A lingering blush colored Ye Zhiyun’s cheeks as she propped her left hand against her face, her black hair falling to one side. She spoke up.
“Sis? Hehe… How do you feel now? Any better?”
“…”
You’re seriously asking me that?
Fine… You want to know how I feel?
See for yourself.
Without a word, Ye Zhibai half-turned her head.
That gaze—like it could kill. (Or at least, that’s how Ye Zhibai saw it.)
Her vivid lavender eyes were veiled in a layer of quiet resentment, like a petulant scold.
A hint of emptiness lingered, with faint glimmers that captivated the soul.
Anyone else might have shivered in fear.
But who was Ye Zhiyun?
She—she—she suddenly clamped her legs together!
“S-Sis…! D-don’t look at me like that right now! I-I’m not worthy!”
“？!”
Oh no.
Ye Zhiyun realized that under her sister’s stare, she suddenly needed the bathroom herself!
Besides that matter, Ye Zhiyun had one other thing weighing on her mind right now.
Namely… her sister seemed to have forgotten how to use the bathroom just moments ago. Had she managed to relearn it by now?
But the way it happened earlier… that hardly made for an effective lesson, did it?
She had no idea why she herself was such a genius.
Suddenly, Ye Zhiyun came up with the perfect solution—one that would let her take care of her own growing need to use the bathroom while helping her sister reinforce what she’d learned.
“Sister,” she said, “that quick run-through from before—you definitely still don’t remember how to do it, right? How about… how about I demonstrate for you? You can watch the whole process again to solidify it. Actually… I kinda need to go myself right now…”
What the—how did you spring this on me out of nowhere?!
Hold on—what exactly did you just say I should watch?!
Ye Zhibai didn’t even have a chance to react or respond.
Ye Zhiyun’s cheeks were already flushing pink as, right there in front of her sister, she hiked up the hem of her own pleated school skirt.
Her fingers then hooked into the elastic waistband of the pristine white panties beneath, tugging them down.
In that instant, a breathtaking vista appeared before Ye Zhibai—one she was certain she’d never witnessed in her previous life.
It was so radiant, so utterly divine, that Ye Zhibai found herself squinting despite herself.
Until that moment, ever since Ye Zhibai had awakened, her little sister’s behavior in her presence had come across as downright perverse.
But now, with Yun’er suddenly acting all bashful and blushing like that, it hit Ye Zhibai all at once. She remembered.
Yun’er was a girl on the level of an ultra-elite school beauty.
No… absolutely not! A demonstration like this? I, Ye Zhibai, am a paragon of virtue! If I’m going to look, it’ll be with perfectly good reason—openly and honorably! I won’t stoop to sneaking a cheap peek!
Right… right! So I need to refuse this firmly… firmly!
But…
Ye Zhiyun’s voice—sweet and melodic, laced with that rare hint of shyness—had already slipped into Ye Zhibai’s ears.
“Sister… pay close attention, okay? I can only demonstrate this once… I’m way too embarrassed to do it again.”
Fine.
She was just too adorable.
Slowly, ever so slowly, Ye Zhibai turned her gaze back to the front.
She had to watch the demonstration, after all.
This was about mastering a skill.
—No embarrassment in that.
