Ye Zhiyun stretched out her arm, letting Ye Zhibai inspect it closely. “Sister, look… It’s only been such a short time, and most of the red marks have already faded. Don’t worry! I’ve been studying self-defense since elementary school, so I wouldn’t really get hurt from that. Just now, I deliberately held back!”
“!”
Who would have thought she had such impressive martial arts skills!
Hehe, in truth, Yun’er didn’t actually know any technique for holding back—that was just her playful excuse. All she had done was try her best to dodge objects with sharp edges, minimizing the damage.
And besides… compared to this trivial matter that would heal almost instantly and barely counted as an injury…
~~~
…right now, Yun’er was far more anxious about something else.
Namely, the treasure of her world right before her eyes—the one reflected in her gaze, close enough that she could feel each other’s breaths.
She acted spoiled, nuzzling her cheek against Ye Zhibai’s face like a little kitten.
The softness in her voice formed a stark contrast with her usual decisive efficiency, enough to melt Ye Zhibai’s little heart.
“I’m sorry, Sister… Yun’er was a bit reckless just now. Mm… but you can’t blame me entirely. Who made Sister do all those things that seemed like flirting? Even if it was just suspicion… it made me uneasy. Maybe I worried too much—I admit I was wrong—but Sister was wrong too! So that sneak attack was… perfectly reasonable…!”
“Mm, perfectly reasonable. I know.”
I know, I know!
I should have known my little sister was this adorable! Wuu wuu wuu!
Stroking the silky black hair of Yun’er in her arms.
Ye Zhibai was really struggling to hold it together! (Except for her expression.)
Just a second ago, Ye Zhibai had felt the crisis pass, the storm finally clearing.
But in the next moment, a jolt of electricity shot through her entire body!
Ye Zhibai’s earlobe was suddenly caught in Yun’er’s mouth, just like savoring a crispy snack!
And her teeth even gave it a light nibble!
“Mm?!”
“Muah? Eheh… Sorry, Sister, I accidentally snuck another attack… You won’t blame me, right?”
“……”
Looking at Yun’er’s little devil expression as she licked her lips.
What could Ye Zhibai even say?
She couldn’t bring herself to say it, even as Yun’er’s face flushed bright red while she voiced every word.
“The Gaokao is finally over today… Can you give Yun’er a little reward? For what comes next… can we do it on the bed…?”
“Mu…”
So… so direct, such a wondrous way of putting it.
Did she even have the right to refuse?
Besides… if Ye Zhibai searched her heart, she didn’t really want to say no.
But at least saying this next line could buy her some time.
“I… I’ll go take a shower first.”
“Ehh, no way!! I can’t wait any longer… Cough, I mean, the original flavor Sister is the best!”
“?!’
After saying that, the move Ye Zhiyun made sent a shiver straight to Ye Zhibai’s heart.
She ran her tongue around her lips in a circle.
It was just like savoring Ye Zhibai’s taste, radiating pure dominance!
Actually, Yun’er thought there was no need at all.
Sister smelled so fragrant right now, felt so soft—there was absolutely no need for a shower!
Fine.
Ye Zhibai concluded that today, she might not even have the right to take a bath.
It wasn’t a bad deal, though. In comparison, she could savor the original flavor Yun’er too, right?
Yun’er seemed intent on declaring her dominance.
Maintaining her straddle, she scooted back a bit and suddenly grabbed Ye Zhibai’s ankle.
Then, with lightning speed, she yanked off Ye Zhibai’s shoes and socks!
“Yun’er? What are you doing… Eep!”
“Of course, I’m being naughty! Getting the mood ready for later!”
Is this preparation too torturous?!
Yun’er suddenly traced a circle on the snowy sole of Ye Zhibai’s foot with her finger.
That was when Ye Zhibai realized just how ticklish she was!
It seemed like a pointless action, but the effect was explosive!
The strength Ye Zhibai had just regained vanished completely from that inexplicable gesture.
Her waist even arched a little.
Don’t misunderstand—it was to stop the itch!
And Yun’er’s action had a purpose.
The slippers were back in the room.
Without shoes, Sister couldn’t walk back easily on her own.
While Ye Zhibai was dazed.
Ye Zhiyun swiftly removed her other little white shoe!
This whole maneuver left Ye Zhibai flushed with embarrassment and fury!
Yet Yun’er’s expression remained cool and composed.
A few more teasing strokes on the sole left Ye Zhibai’s breathing ragged.
With no other choice, Ye Zhibai tried to scold her gently.
“Yun’er… stop fooling around.”
“Mm… No more fooling, no more! So Sister, head back to the room first! I’ll be right there!”
“Oh… give me my shoes.”
“Nope!”
“……”
Not only did Ye Zhiyun refuse, she picked up Ye Zhibai’s shoes and socks and retreated several steps.
Seeing Ye Zhibai’s troubled look.
Ye Zhiyun knew her plan had succeeded!
She sauntered back in front of Ye Zhibai, crouched down, and tentatively made her request.
“Sister… You can’t really go back on your own right now anyway. How about… I carry you back to the room?”
“Why…”
Just look behind you!
It’s only a few steps—I’m not a three-year-old! Just give me my shoes!
But Yun’er tilted her head with a smile, the sparkle in her cerulean eyes utterly captivating.
“Of course, I want Sister to rely on me more… I figured it out just now. I get jealous so easily and jump to conclusions because I lack confidence! To build that confidence, I need to take measures—at least enough so that when Sister sees other women, she won’t have any stray thoughts! For that…”
“For that…?”
“For that! I have to fuck Sister into submission!”
You mean convince, not fuck into submission, right?!
Even if she wanted to struggle, it was too late.
Little Zhibai’s strength was no match for Ye Zhiyun’s.
In a classic princess carry, shoes and socks tossed aside, Ye Zhibai was scooped up by Yun’er and carried straight back to the room!
A dim little bedside lamp cast a faint glow, much like the faint Little Zhibai, who huddled on the bed, trembling.
Yun’er had said she was going back to fetch a divine artifact!
Ye Zhibai wasn’t sure what it was, but an ominous premonition stirred inexplicably!
The fountain pen from Sister Liang had already been safely stowed in the cabinet—no way she’d lose that.
She tilted her head toward Guang Yu.
Guang Yu was stuffing osmanthus cakes into her little bag, along with mineral water and wasabi paste.
Ye Zhibai paid no mind to the big scallion that had been yanked up again in the yard.
Ye Zhibai grumbled.
“Guang Yu… are you running away from home? Lucky you.”
“Nope! Soon you two will have the rooms all to yourselves, so I’m packing snacks and drinks to go moon-gazing outside! The weather’s perfect for it tonight. I
don’t want to stay inside listening to your wailing and moaning!”
Don’t make stuff up! When I do it, I’m super quiet, okay!
It’s basically silent mode… cough, maybe just a tiny bit of sound leaks out.
Little Fox slung her pack over her shoulder.
And headed to the yard to bask in the moonlight.
At the same time, Yun’er returned with her “divine artifact”!
Ye Zhibai narrowed her eyes, peering through the lamp’s glow.
In her hand was what looked like a purple finger sleeve?
The surface of the finger sleeve was covered in little raised bumps.
But it didn’t look harmful!
What was this thing for?
She didn’t know yet, but Ye Zhibai would probably find out soon.
With the divine artifact in hand, Ye Zhiyun was counting on it tonight!
Wearing a blissfully happy smile, she explained its origins.
“I had the maid custom-order this from a shop in the city…? We have to get it custom-made for quality assurance—natural, pollution-free, totally eco-friendly! I always thought… there’d come a time when it could be used on Sister. Good thing it arrived yesterday—perfect timing!”
Used on…?
So this thing was…!
Ye Zhibai vaguely guessed its purpose.
She lay back on the bed, resigned and desireless, awaiting her “punishment.”
But… wasn’t it Gaokao yesterday?!
Look at what was going through that cute little head of yours during the Gaokao!
Ye Zhiyun closed the sliding door by the floor-to-ceiling window and drew the curtains.
The room grew even darker.
She slipped the finger sleeve onto her finger.
When she turned back, her smile was so sincere and kind!
“Hehe… Last time, I couldn’t make Sister’s expression change at all. I’ve been reflecting on it—it must not have been intense enough! This time, I absolutely, positively have to see Sister begging for mercy!!”
“!!”
From the moment Yun’er pounced onto the bed.
Ye Zhibai knew the post-Gaokao revelry.
Had officially begun.
Guang Yu looked up at the round moon, munching on osmanthus cake and chugging a mouthful of wasabi paste.
She knew it too.
Her moon-gazing would probably last deep into the night.
Look at that moon—so big and round. Perfect.
