Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Su Huaizhou sat nervously on the bed. With a tense expression, she listened intently and didn’t hear any noise outside the bed curtain.

She leaned forward, carefully moved past Junior Brother’s sleeping body, slowly unzipped a small gap in the bed curtain, and peeked outside.

She looked at the opposite side. No one was there.

She glanced diagonally opposite—also empty.

Pulling the gap wider, Su Huaizhou poked her head out and looked at the adjacent bed. No one was there either.

Phew…

Su Huaizhou let out a long sigh of relief. Thank goodness Junior Brother’s roommates aren’t here. It’s safe.

“Where are you? Why aren’t you answering?” Qi Lianyue’s voice came from the phone. “Did you fall asleep again?”

“No, no,” Su Huaizhou replied in a very soft voice, holding the phone to her ear. “I-I just woke up… Yesterday, um… I stayed up late drawing, so I got up a little late…”

Seeing that she seemed to have bluffed her way through, Su Huaizhou breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, whether it was due to the phone conversation or Su Huaizhou’s earlier actions, Jiang Miao subconsciously stretched his body and felt that his left arm was as heavy as lead and unbearably sore. “Hiss… Ah—”

Before Jiang Miao could cry out in discomfort, Su Huaizhou quickly covered his mouth with her hand and anxiously signaled him to stay quiet with her eyes.

“What was that sound?” Qi Lianyue asked doubtfully.

“Oh… I bumped my foot… It hurts a little… Ow…” Su Huaizhou made up an excuse and quickly added, “I’m getting up now. I’ll be back before afternoon classes! Bye!”

“Hey, wait…” Qi Lianyue wanted to ask more, but Su Huaizhou hung up, not giving her a chance to question further.

Meanwhile, Jiang Miao, whom Su Huaizhou had silenced, was still lying on his bed with a dumbfounded expression. It wasn’t until he saw that Senior Sister was on the phone that he slowly relaxed.

“That was close…” Su Huaizhou tossed her phone aside. Her tense body finally relaxed, and she collapsed onto the bed, her head resting on Jiang Miao’s shoulder again.

“Don’t… Ah…” He felt that his left arm no longer existed, so he quickly stretched out his right hand to shake her shoulder. “Senior Sister… my arm is about to die… I still need it to write.”

“Oh…” Su Huaizhou came back to her senses and sat up again. Only then did she remember that she had slept on Junior Brother’s arm all night and immediately felt a bit embarrassed. “Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep last night.”

“It’s fine.” Jiang Miao looked at Senior Sister, but his eyes were naturally drawn to her charming teardrop mole. Feeling guilty, he quickly avoided her gaze.

She reached out her hand, placed it on his left arm, and gently massaged him. “Is this okay? Does this help?”

“Y-yeah, it’s better.” Jiang Miao quickly sat up and gave his arms a few shakes until the soreness gradually faded.

The blanket slid off their bodies, but it still covered their legs.

After sitting up, Jiang Miao took in the scene before him. Light shone in through the bed curtain, casting a soft glow on Senior Sister’s hair and cheeks.

It made her look as though she were bathed in a dreamlike halo.

Her long hair flowed freely, draping over her shoulders, chest, and collarbone, exuding an air of lazy, unguarded allure.

Compared to her peaceful sleeping look last night, she now gave off a different charm.

“Yesterday… I caused you trouble,” Su Huaizhou murmured as she brushed her hair behind her ear and turned her head away shyly.

When she thought about how she had actually spent the whole night on the same bed as Junior Brother, her cheeks felt as though they were on fire.

She had been far too bold last night. Just recalling it made her feel so embarrassed.

They weren’t even a couple yet… She was still thinking of ways to get him to confess to her first… But in the end, what did she do last night?

Su Huaizhou felt like a drunkard who had just sobered up from a drunken stupor, vexed and regretting the consequences of her drunken behavior.

“It’s fine… it was just an accident,” Jiang Miao replied, feeling a bit awkward himself. But he quickly realized something and stuck his head out of the bed curtain to check around.

“It’s okay. I checked earlier. Your roommates aren’t here.”

After confirming everything was safe and hearing Senior Sister’s explanation, Jiang Miao finally heaved a sigh of relief and got up from the bed.

He handed the white sneakers he had stuffed in the corner to Senior Sister and climbed down the bed first.

Su Huaizhou slipped her shoes on and climbed down too.

With her feet back on the floor again, she suddenly felt a hint of nostalgia. She turned around and looked at Junior Brother’s bed, feeling a bit of reluctance. I wonder when I’ll sleep in the same bed as Junior Brother again…

Just the thought of it made Su Huaizhou angry. Stupid Junior Brother, you don’t know how to take the initiative at all. You’re always waiting for me to make the first move. You’re too useless!

Didn’t I already teach you to make good use of pretending to be my boyfriend? But you still don’t get it!

So dense!

For the first time in twenty years, Su Huaizhou wanted to try dating.

But why was it so difficult?

As for Jiang Miao, he had no idea he was being berated by Senior Sister. He grabbed his phone and sent a message in the dorm room group chat.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Are you coming back for lunch? If you are, could you bring me some food? @Ranran’s Dog @Wash Hands Often

[Ranran’s Dog]: (Picture)

[Ranran’s Dog]: Sorry, Brother Jiang. I’m having lunch with my wife. See you in class in the afternoon!

[Wash Hands Often]: I’m having lunch in the library and won’t be back at noon.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Okay.

There was no need to ask Chen Haoshang. He must be out delivering food at this time.

After confirming that his three roommates wouldn’t return any time soon, Jiang Miao felt relieved. “Senior Sister, here.”

Su Huaizhou watched as Jiang Miao rummaged through his closet, took out a box of toothbrushes, and handed her a clean one. She took it in a daze.

Not brushing her teeth the entire night indeed left her feeling uncomfortable. Taking the toothbrush, she entered the bathroom.

But not long after, she poked her head out of the bathroom. “Junior Brother, which one is your cup?”

“Look at the toothbrush. It’s the same style as yours.”

“Oh, got it.” Su Huaizhou retracted her head, found his toothbrush and toothpaste, and began brushing her teeth.

Looking at his Junior Brother’s blue toothbrush and then at the red toothbrush in her hand, which had the exact same style, Su Huaizhou had a strange feeling.

Jiang Miao soon followed her into the bathroom, grabbed his toothbrush, squeezed out some toothpaste, and stood beside her to brush his teeth.

The two of them faced the mirror in silence, brushing their teeth side by side, just like a newlywed couple starting their day together.

After the two of them rinsed their mouths with the same cup and packed their belongings, they hurried out of the dorm room, eager to distance themselves from this place of potential trouble.

Su Huaizhou followed Junior Brother all the way to the hall on the first floor. The sunlight streaming in from outside lifted her spirits, and she quickly walked out of Building 31.

The sunlight bathed her face, prompting her to stretch her arms in relief. “Phew…”

But just as she finished stretching and was about to head to the cafeteria for lunch with Junior Brother, her gaze suddenly landed on a small figure standing at the entrance of Building 30 across from them.

In an instant, Su Huaizhou’s expression froze.

With her arms crossed, Qi Lianyue stared silently at the two people walking out of Building 31. Her expression was blank, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Jiang Miao, following behind, noticed something was wrong with Senior Sister and followed her gaze.

After seeing the petite figure, he stiffened on the spot, like a student caught playing with their phone during class by the teacher.

However, Qi Lianyue merely stared at them silently for a few seconds before turning away with her bag over her shoulders and leaving for the cafeteria.

She didn’t want to pay attention to these two at all.

“Wait!” Su Huaizhou panicked. “Yueyue! Let me explain!”
