My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 40

As for that Ye Qiu, who truly believed she had gained a semblance of humanity just because she wore human skin…

Hmph.

The one who, in the Gap, wished she could drag Yue Yiyue straight into her lair, actually dared to criticize her for gnawing too hard last night while alleviating her separation anxiety!

She should look in a mirror and see what kind of monster she is!

Her head is full of messy things, and all Gu Nanqiu did was bring her thoughts to fruition.

Gu Nanqiu whined and rubbed against Yue Yiyue, softly complaining about how she couldn’t eat or sleep for days.

She also made Yue Yiyue touch her little face, asking if she looked thinner, if she was still pretty, and if they were still good friends.

“Nanqiu, thank you.” Yue Yiyue gently touched the slightly warm cheek.

She looked at Gu Nanqiu, and after a moment, solemnly placed a kiss on her forehead.

Gu Nanqiu was stunned by Yue Yiyue’s sudden action. A faint pink immediately stained her ears, like blossoming peach flowers on a branch. She looked at Yue Yiyue with sparkling eyes and smiled shyly.

Yue Yiyue couldn’t help but curve her lips. She stared into Gu Nanqiu’s beautiful amber eyes and said earnestly: “You’ve been through a lot recently. I missed you too. Thank you for taking leave for me and for asking your cousin to save me, and for comforting me to sleep last night.”

Yue Yiyue seemed to have misunderstood something, but it didn’t really matter.

Gu Nanqiu wasn’t foolish enough to explain anything; there was nothing to explain anyway.

Just enjoy it.

She shifted into a position closer to Yue Yiyue’s heart, lying on Yue Yiyue and playing with her hair. She mumbled that Yue Yiyue was never allowed to leave her side for too long again.

She must be safe and sound.

She must be happy.

Yue Yiyue must be happy no matter what.

Towards the end, catching sight of the red marks on Yue Yiyue’s chest, Gu Nanqiu said guiltily: “Those were there before we came back. I really don’t know how they happened.”

The scene of the crime was outside the door. She had genuinely lost control then. By the time she regained consciousness, well…

At least it didn’t happen at home.

“Yiyue, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

She had been too sorrowful last night. To alleviate her sadness, she had indulged in thoroughly licking Yue Yiyue, consumption and collection combined.

Ingesting too much of Yue Yiyue’s scent finally allowed her, after days of exhausting travel, to feel happiness, and she even slept peacefully.

It wasn’t until the morning, when she realized the spot beside her was empty, that Gu Nanqiu remembered her loss of control yesterday and started worrying that Yue Yiyue might have noticed something wrong and run away…

But after some probing, Gu Nanqiu saw that Yue Yiyue was just as she always was, still so indulgent of her.

Then… I’ll dare to do it again next time. Hehe.

Yiyue won’t know.

Will she?

Waiting for the breathing of the person in her arms to steady, Yue Yiyue pinched Gu Nanqiu’s hand curiously.

It was a normal human hand, with body temperature and palm lines.

She touched her face again.

Smooth skin. Her face was too perfect to be that of an ordinary person.

If Gu Nanqiu became a star, she would definitely be the most photogenic kind.

She was the focus wherever she stood; it was a natural aura she possessed. Dangerous, enchanting, and imbued with a special quality, like a siren from the deep sea that captivates souls.

When interacting with Gu Nanqiu, Yue Yiyue occasionally worried that she might be seduced and dragged into the deep sea.

But if that day truly came, Yue Yiyue thought, she would be completely willing.

Her feelings for Gu Nanqiu were that strange.

There was no reason.

It was an instinct.

It was as if her soul had followed Gu Nanqiu from the very beginning.

Like now, simply listening to a heartbeat that matched her own frequency gave her a sense of security.

With their inseparable closeness, even though only two months had passed, Yue Yiyue felt like half a lifetime had gone by.

Observing her throughout, Gu Nanqiu seemed perfectly normal, just like an ordinary human.

So, what exactly were those strange, wet things last night?

Was it a dream?

But this also made her question other things.

In that place (the Gap), Yue Yiyue saw those entities and understood the birth of the Pigeon Head and the earlier Fish Head.

And these things, along with that strange Boss and the eccentric Forensic Doctor.

The way the Forensic Doctor looked at her—it was a kind of appreciation for a kindred spirit. But her mind was too confused then, or she definitely would have asked about it.

If the other person was willing to talk.

And Yue Yiyue’s sense of smell wouldn’t lie to her.

The floral scent she often detected and the scent on Gu Nanqiu, while not identical, felt very similar.

Staring at the person in her arms, Yue Yiyue gently pinched Gu Nanqiu’s little face again.

Gu Nanqiu, in a sleepy daze, sensed Yue Yiyue’s gaze. She controlled herself to prevent the little entities, who had longed for Yue Yiyue for so long, from reappearing.

Instead, she grasped Yue Yiyue’s hand and instinctively turned her head to kiss it.

Like a cat rubbing, Yue Yiyue’s heart melted at the sight of Gu Nanqiu.

She whispered to herself: “I really loved that feeling yesterday. I just wish I knew who gave it to me. If I could know, that would be even better.”

A light-blue little something, tied with a cute polka-dot ribbon, suddenly rose up by the bedside. At first glance, she couldn’t tell what it was, but it seemed shy.

Yue Yiyue looked closer. The blue thing resembled the tentacle of a soft-bodied creature like an octopus or a squid, though the color was off.

From this angle, she could even see strange suckers.

The instant Yue Yiyue saw it, He enthusiastically waved at Yue Yiyue and made a large heart shape.

If not for its limited length, Yue Yiyue believed He would write ‘love’ to express His more specific feelings.

The next second, another identical tentacle without suckers appeared from some corner. He quickly slapped the first tentacle, and then the one with suckers vanished.

She didn’t miss the complex, magic-circle-like pattern at the end of the tentacle. It had intricate markings, and the moment she saw it, Yue Yiyue felt a strange stinging sensation in her eyes.

As if she had seen an unlookable divine miracle.

As punishment, blood slowly seeped from her eyes.

It pooled in her tear ducts, like a tear of blood.

That tentacle immediately realized this. In the next moment, His color changed to the green of a vine, and a point of green light flashed, alleviating the discomfort in Yue Yiyue’s eyes. He continuously extended, extended—

A cool, soft body pressed against her eyes. It was the same tentacle-like thing that carefully wiped away the red trace.

Then a burst of blue light. The residual scent in the air, undetectable to ordinary people, was also cleaned up by Him.

After finishing all that, He made sure the sub-personality was still in a deep sleep.

He tapped Yue Yiyue’s forehead.

A strange, cute voice entered Yue Yiyue’s head, chirping like a lively little sparrow.

“Shh, don’t tell Gu Nanqiu, Yiyue! Our secret!”

“Our secret!”

“Our secret!!!”

“We love you!!!”

“Damn it, how dare He say that first!!!”

“Yiyue, we love you, love you, love you so much!!!”

“You really are so cute.”

“Can I lick you?”

“I want to lick your…”

Before the sentence was finished, the green light disappeared, and the strange voice vanished.

Yue Yiyue looked at the person lying in her arms. Perhaps because she was truly exhausted, Gu Nanqiu hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

This room was absolutely safe, so those other things wouldn’t appear here.

Yue Yiyue was certain she was a pure human.

She looked at Gu Nanqiu in her arms.

It was normal for someone so perfect not to look entirely human.

It seemed she was some kind of soft-bodied creature with many tentacles.

Perhaps she was just too anxious and needed to mark her scent. She recalled seeing something like this on Animal World before.

Anyway, Nanqiu hadn’t done anything truly inappropriate.

She was just pressing her down, making it a bit hard to breathe.

Yue Yiyue subconsciously ignored the marks on her body, acting as if they had never existed.

Following this thread, she continued to analyze: Ye Qiu and Gu Nanqiu were inextricably linked, not merely distant cousins.

At the time, they thought she was unconscious, saying things like: “It’s your turn to preside over the next game. I still followed the rules for this one and let a few go to ensure there will be unlucky participants next time.”

“Yiyue saw your face? What? Did she notice we…”

“Did the cognitive interference on the way out just make her think it’s a cousin?”

“It better be. Yiyue is so smart; she can connect everything if there’s even a slight discrepancy. I’m too tired. I’ve depleted a lot of my power. I need to sleep…”

“To sleep soundly in Yiyue’s arms…”

She looked at Gu Nanqiu in her arms, who was utterly unaware that she had given herself away.

The Boss’s inexplicable words were still repeating in Yue Yiyue’s mind. She seemed very afraid of Gu Nanqiu.

Was she nearly killed by Gu Nanqiu before?

Or what?

It didn’t matter.

As long as it was Gu Nanqiu.

As long as they were Gu Nanqiu.

She devoutly, carefully kissed Gu Nanqiu’s thin lips, a fleeting peck like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The moment she opened Gu Nanqiu’s story, she was attracted to Gu Nanqiu.

It was like her arrival here, like a gift bestowed by a god, allowing her to participate in a part of Gu Nanqiu’s story.

Even just a part.

A person shouldn’t be too greedy.

“How is Aunt Zhang doing recently? And my sister?” Yue Yiyue hesitated for a long time before finally sending a text message to that number.

Although the owner of this number was erratic, they could always provide her with some useful information.

“Yiyue? You actually contacted me willingly again! Oh my goodness, I knew you were a good person! That’s why I admire you so much. I truly love you.”

“You’ve been through something bad recently. It’s okay. I’ll come to your side to protect you. Please don’t worry.”

“Damn it, damn it, I can’t come! Something is blocking me! Why? By what right?”

“Yiyue, you really shouldn’t look at them!!! They are all obstructing our meeting!!!”

“Oh, right, sorry dear. I always forget things, but don’t worry. Aunt Zhang is recovering very well, and your sister, He is also doing well.”

“Yiyue, eat more. I really love you! I want to be by your side all the time, but why can’t I come!!!”

“Ah! So annoying! Can you come find me?”

“I’ll treat you well.”

“Hundreds, thousands of times better than them, just like.

Yue Yiyue painstakingly found the information she needed among the nonsense. She looked at the word “He”.

This was definitely not a simple typo. Who is “He”?
