My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 47

A low, hushed whisper came from behind the white curtain; it was likely Gu Nanqiu calling Ye Qiu.

Upon hearing the sound, Yue Yiyue concentrated on controlling Xie Ying, doing her best to stop the self-harming behavior.

She noticed that whenever Xie Ying heard a noise or saw something, her emotions would become agitated again.

Yue Yiyue tried her best to make no sound, and then pulled out a piece of gauze nearby and covered the person’s eyes.

After finishing all this, Yue Yiyue looked around, noting the devastation.

Many things had been knocked to the ground, and the duvet cover was torn.

Only then did she realize that her hand hurt a little.

It was scratched when Xie Ying struggled just now.

Yue Yiyue looked at the long, red streaks of blood on her hand, then shifted her gaze to Xie Ying’s hand.

It was still a human hand, but for some unknown reason, the fingernails were unusually sharp.

It was no exaggeration to say that if Yue Yiyue had dodged a little slower just now, she might have been torn flesh from bone.

She stared at Xie Ying’s hand; this appearance looked like a failed mutation described in books, a kind of rejection reaction.

Xie Ying on the bed was still writhing like an earthworm, trying to break free from the restraints.

At the same time, as soon as there was movement from Gu Nanqiu’s side, Xie Ying would fall into a fresh frenzy.

Logically, it would be best to leave Xie Ying alone in this condition.

But Yue Yiyue still felt it was unacceptable; according to the first law of horror movies, whoever is isolated dies.

After confirming three times that the rope on Xie Ying’s hands was securely tied, Yue Yiyue lifted the white sheet and looked at Gu Nanqiu, who was furiously tapping her screen.

“How is it?” She kept her voice as low as possible to make things easier for Xie Ying.

“I found someone to come and pick her up.” Gu Nanqiu noticed the slightly raised, reddened scratch on Yue Yiyue’s hand. She frowned, leaned forward slightly, and her bright red tongue traced Yue Yiyue’s skin. A hint of itchiness lingered where she licked.

Yue Yiyue subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away and step back, but Gu Nanqiu held it firmly.

Her hair brushed Yue Yiyue’s wrist, and Gu Nanqiu pressed her face against it. Her face clearly showed displeasure: “Disinfect.”

With that, she bit Yue Yiyue’s wrist, not too hard, but still leaving a small mark on her hand.

“There’s disinfectant over there,” Yue Yiyue pointed to the bottle that had been knocked to the floor and rolled not far away, next to a perfectly packaged cotton swab.

“I didn’t see it,” Gu Nanqiu said righteously: “Her situation can only be handled by more professional people. I just contacted several of them.”

“We’ll stay here and guard her. They should be able to arrive very soon.”

Although she didn’t care much about Xie Ying’s life or death, Gu Nanqiu remembered her persona.

Glancing at Xie Ying, who was beginning to howl in agony on the bed, Gu Nanqiu leaned lazily on Yue Yiyue’s shoulder, looking at the person on the bed with a trace of worry: “Yiyue, what do you think might be the reason Classmate Xie became like this?”

“She saw something she shouldn’t have,” Yue Yiyue answered quickly.

This matter was related to Hewu.

But why could Gu Nanqiu not hear anything Xie Ying said, and only she could hear it?

It felt like a glaring trap.

Moreover, the school nurse had been gone for too long.

So long that Yue Yiyue felt a little uneasy. If things continued like this, Xie Ying’s mental state…

Just as Gu Nanqiu said, she found several professionals to handle the situation. Unfortunately, due to a small accident with Xie Ying, Yue Yiyue had no time to spare.

A gray-haired woman rushed in tempestuously. She looked at the messy scene and Xie Ying screaming on the bed.

Her brow furrowed so deeply it looked like it could hold a fly.

The rope used to tie Xie Ying had long since been broken free. Yue Yiyue was currently locked in a fierce battle with Xie Ying. The arrival of the counselor momentarily startled Xie Ying.

Yue Yiyue used this brief moment to desperately pin Xie Ying down, urging Gu Nanqiu to quickly take the sharp scissors nearby.

As soon as the scissors left Xie Ying’s sight, Xie Ying went into a frenzy again, trying to grab them.

She cried out: “Let me die.”

“I want to peel out my heart.”

“Atonement.”

“I am deeply sinful.”

“I deserve to die.”

The sight made the counselor dizzy again and again. She immediately instructed the two sturdy students behind her to help Yue Yiyue.

She then rummaged through a nearby cabinet, pulled out restraint straps, and handed one to a student: “Quick, Yu Tong. I’ve notified her parents; they should arrive tonight.”

“Classmate Gu Nanqiu, come out first. I need to understand the situation from you.”

The school nurse also rushed back, holding a light brown bottle, sweat on her forehead from running: “I only stepped out for a moment. What happened?”

She muttered curses under her breath, pulled out two more restraint straps from another spot, and joined the fray.

Following behind was the department head, with two security guards. Seeing the scene, he quickly called out: “Hurry, go help them! Be careful not to hurt the students!”

Many hands make light work, and the commotion brought about by Xie Ying finally came to a temporary halt.

Completely able to relax, Yue Yiyue staggered towards the outside. As she reached Gu Nanqiu, she collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.

There was nothing else around, so she simply hugged Gu Nanqiu’s thigh, panting and muttering softly: “I’m so tired…”

Gu Nanqiu’s lowered hand affectionately stroked Yue Yiyue’s fuzzy head.

“Thank you, Teacher. And thank you to the two classmates as well. This whole thing was definitely too sudden.”

Squatting down, she lifted Yue Yiyue: “Teacher, my friend here has been controlling Xie Ying the whole time. She also sustained a small injury. I’ll take her back to rest first.”

The counselor looked at the person in Gu Nanqiu’s arms with some concern. She first expressed thanks, then nervously asked if the person was okay.

After receiving a definitive answer, the counselor observed how easily Gu Nanqiu carried the person and couldn’t help but ask a couple more questions.

Gu Nanqiu answered truthfully.

“Yes, Classmate Xie Ying has been quite normal these past few days, except that she and Wu Zhen play more closely together and often leave the dorm together. So, I don’t know what happened before this, but these things can be checked on the surveillance.”

Gu Nanqiu’s peripheral vision swept over the corner; the reflection on the floor showed a familiar figure…

What a group of impatient little hangers-on. But in any case, (*&% ) will wrap things up.

Thinking this, Gu Nanqiu carried Yue Yiyue and walked with light steps towards her nest.

Tonight… it must work.

Recalling the past few days lying in the cold bed without Yue Yiyue, this was the first time Gu Nanqiu realized that this home was so large, so empty…

Yue Yiyue looked at the freshly posted gossip on the confession wall.

It was all speculation about who the person in Gu Nanqiu’s arms was and what exactly had happened.

Someone even included a photo of Gu Nanqiu holding Yue Yiyue, smiling and making a shushing gesture to the camera.

The student who attached the photo also posted a chat log, which showed Gu Nanqiu asking if they could send her a copy of the picture. She said it was okay to post it on the confession wall, but she hoped everyone wouldn’t over-analyze their lives, saying it was just a favor between good friends.

Soon, someone posted an update on the situation at the infirmary, saying the classmate had already gone to the hospital with the help of Classmate Gu Nanqiu.

A pile of comments below cried out about her beauty and kindness.

Fine.

Yue Yiyue turned over, yawned, and first replied to Gu Ye’s message.

“I’m fine. The little bit of bruising on my hand was just an accidental bump. Your eyes are sharp, but you really don’t need to worry.”

“I only fell asleep because I was too tired.”

“Thanks for the concern. I’ll buy you bubble tea in a few days.”

Gu Ye might be busy, so she didn’t reply to the message, but the text message that often harassed her popped up.

“Baby, you… They deserve to die!”

“They actually hurt you.”

“Gu Nanqiu also deserves to die! She actually didn’t protect you well!!!”

“Baby… my poor baby… As atonement, let Gu Nanqiu keep watch over you tonight so you can sleep soundly.”

“Baby…”

Yue Yiyue ignored this increasingly manic message and stared blankly at her phone.

Xie Ying… could she be cured?

She definitely couldn’t figure out an answer on her own.

It would be better to use the information she had effectively.

“Is there a way to cure Xie Ying?”

“Baby… why are you mentioning someone else’s name? It’s annoying. You’re supposed to be chatting with me…”

“Why can’t you focus only on me?”

“Everyone wants a piece of you from me.”

“I was the first to *&%9(&)”

“Ah… how could I refuse you, my baby…”

“What a cunning human. But I love you anyway…”

“Just find out who wants to mutate her and kill them…”

“But that would dirty your hands, baby.”

“If you need to, why don’t you come to A City? I’ll wait for you in A City… You come here, and I’ll solve everything for you, and then we… together.”

“Forever… forever… forever… together.”

“Thank you. It was kind of you to tell me all this.”

Seeing this, Yue Yiyue recorded the crucial information above, then switched screens, and copied the legal statute stating that unlawfully confining another person is a crime.

“You can be crazy, but don’t break the law. I think you’re pretty great. If you were a little more normal, I think we could be online friends who never meet.”

There was no movement from the other side of the phone.

Yue Yiyue didn’t care what the other party was doing; she got what she wanted. She sent the above information to Ye Qiu, asking about its possibility.

Having just woken up, she wasn’t sleepy, nor was she hungry.

Uncharacteristically, Yue Yiyue did not immediately get up to find something to do.

Instead, she lay in bed, scrolling on her phone to pass the time.

She was lying on the bed, looking at boring news, her thoughts already flying to the inexplicable phrase: “Let Gu Nanqiu keep watch?”

The thought of Gu Nanqiu just lying in bed, falling asleep quickly and soundly.

While she herself, due to excess energy with nowhere to go, would have to think about complex things in bed for a while.

Yue Yiyue still dismissed the idea. After all, Gu Nanqiu had worked hard carrying her back today.

A knock came at the bedroom door, interrupting Yue Yiyue’s lazy time: “Come in.”

As soon as she spoke, Gu Nanqiu poked her head in cautiously: “Yiyue, are you feeling better?”

Yue Yiyue waved the hand with the well-treated wound.

“Yes, I’m fine. Is it time to eat? I’m not hungry. If you want to eat, you go ahead.”

Gu Nanqiu shook her head, punctured the milk carton, and handed it over: “I ordered takeout; it hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Xie Ying, a perfectly fine person, suddenly became like this. They say it might be contagious.” Gu Nanqiu sat on the edge of the bed, examining the scratches on Yue Yiyue’s hand: “Ye Qiu said that if you were scratched, you might get infected, and she told me to look after you more closely recently.”

Gu Nanqiu, looking as if she were completely worried about her, quickly slipped under the covers. The silk pajamas brought a hint of coolness as they touched Yue Yiyue, who was lying in bed.

Yue Yiyue looked at the fluffy head that had suddenly appeared in her arms.

The owner of this fluffy head rubbed against Yue Yiyue’s chest, drawing out her words in a long, soft, spoiled voice: “The situation was too chaotic today. That Wu Zhen seemed so wrong~ I’m also really worried about you, so, let’s sleep together…”
