My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 74

Yue Yiyue threw the bloodstained sweater into the sink. The sound of running water filled the air, and the warm water quickly soaked the garment. Yue Yiyue looked at the stains, a headache brewing.

She poured a large amount of bleach into the sink. A slight noise sounded from outside the room.

But Yue Yiyue pretended not to notice and poured in laundry detergent.

“The flow of time seems to be off. By the time I saw you, I had already been working there for a little while.” Gu Nanqiu put the laptop aside, grabbed the bathrobe next to her, picked up the prepared iodine, and walked into the bathroom. She draped the robe over Yue Yiyue, then picked up a cotton swab and dabbed on some medicine.

As soon as she held out her hand, Yue Yiyue obediently offered her head.

Applying medicine to the rather long scratch on Yue Yiyue’s face, Gu Nanqiu suppressed the urge to lick the wound. Her gaze was firmly fixed on the pale skin that rarely saw the sun and the smooth, rounded shoulders.

This sight of Yiyue made Gu Nanqiu’s teeth itch with desire.

The previous mark on her neck had disappeared. Gu Nanqiu thought with a hint of regret, when could she make it bloom with her flowers again?

That would truly be bliss.

The cotton swab traced a parabola in the air, landing in the trash can. Gu Nanqiu bent down slightly and embraced Yue Yiyue, pressing against her warm skin and taking a deep breath at Yue Yiyue’s neck and shoulder, like one would sniff a cat. She muttered a complaint: “So tired—”

“But I guessed you would definitely go there too, so I prepared a few small things for you.”

“Did you use them?”

With wet hands covered in white foam, Yue Yiyue washed them clean and dried them on the hand towel nearby.

Yue Yiyue shifted, and Gu Nanqiu consciously took a step back, helping Yue Yiyue put on the outer robe.

Then, she watched Yue Yiyue fasten the robe, covering herself completely.

However, Gu Nanqiu was usually content. Just that brief glimpse was enough to savor for a long time.

Recalling the memories of her time with Yue Yiyue, she realized that Yue Yiyue, who usually hid in the room to change clothes, was suddenly so bold.

What does Yiyue want to know?

So hard to guess~

Gu Nanqiu made no attempt to hide the lust in her eyes. She hugged Yue Yiyue affectionately: “Even though the heating is on, this is still not good.”

She leaned near Yue Yiyue’s ear, deliberately lowering her voice. Gu Nanqiu tilted her head, her lips brushing Yue Yiyue’s neck. She felt the person in her arms shiver, extremely controlled.

Hesitating for a moment, Gu Nanqiu decided not to make any further move. She took a step back and lightly patted Yue Yiyue’s bottom: “Leave the rest to me. Go rest properly and eat something.”

She lifted her hand to tidy Yue Yiyue’s hair. The love in Gu Nanqiu’s eyes was like a rushing river, ready to sweep Yue Yiyue into the currents of passion.

She lifted her hand and drew a small heart on Yue Yiyue’s chest: “Don’t overthink my feelings for you, Yiyue. Before this, we were always good friends, weren’t we?”

Yue Yiyue’s mind was a muddled mess from Gu Nanqiu’s smooth, flowing actions.

She felt hot all over, especially her neck, where Gu Nanqiu’s lips had just brushed past.

And the area that was just patted…

Yue Yiyue didn’t know where to put herself for a moment. She looked up at Gu Nanqiu’s obscure gaze.

She silently tightened the belt around her waist: “Time to eat, yes.”

“I’ll go eat. Thank you for washing my clothes…”

“If you need anything, I can handle your underwear too…” Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue with a smile.

Her sentence was cut off before she could finish: “No need, thank you—”

Halfway through the meal, Gu Nanqiu had already washed the clothes and put them in the washing machine to spin dry.

After doing all this, Gu Nanqiu returned to the sofa, occasionally picking up food for Yiyue and asking how she got the injury.

And what she had experienced.

When they finished eating, Yue Yiyue was clearing the table and turned to see Gu Nanqiu starting to pack her suitcase.

She looked at Gu Nanqiu picking through the clothes in the closet, feeling confused.

“What are you doing?” Yue Yiyue watched as different styles of coats were taken out, and a few inner garments were tossed into the suitcase.

“What do you think?” Gu Nanqiu held the clothes in her arms, looking at Yue Yiyue with a half-smile: “Didn’t I just say? I’m afraid you won’t be comfortable this way.”

Gu Nanqiu winked slyly: “So I’ve decided to rent another room. We can just keep in touch if anything comes up.”

…

What was Gu Nanqiu plotting? Yue Yiyue thought for a moment. At the present time, Gu Nanqiu moving out was absolutely unacceptable.

Because the Curator, the other version of her, looked very weak and had just coughed up blood.

If the “Qiu” there also affected the state of this Gu Nanqiu, and she coughed up blood in the middle of the night in another room, that would be bad.

Gu Nanqiu merely harbored feelings for her that were beyond friendship, but not quite lovers.

This was a mere suspension bridge effect from spending so much time with her and experiencing all these strange things.

This was her own fault and had nothing to do with Gu Nanqiu.

“No need. Besides, the person surnamed Mu is watching you.” After sorting out her thoughts, Yue Yiyue stiffly provided the reasons she thought Gu Nanqiu wanted to hear.

“The current situation is a bit special.” Yue Yiyue looked at the suitcase by her feet: “I’ll help you hang them back up.”

“But if you ever bring up staying somewhere else again, I’ll help you pack your things.” Yue Yiyue was worried Gu Nanqiu might misunderstand that she wouldn’t let her live alone in the future, so she added that last sentence.

Yue Yiyue also looked up and forced a somewhat stiff smile, mimicking Gu Nanqiu’s expression.

But to Gu Nanqiu’s eyes, this meant Yue Yiyue didn’t want her to mention separating rooms again.

Her eyes instantly lit up. Sure enough, Yiyue is also fascinated by her.

It’s a good thing she has a beautiful facade to please Yiyue.

Thinking this, she moved closer, hugging Yiyue: “Yiyue spoils me the most.”

“But what if I accidentally do something?” Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue pitifully: “Some things are only human nature, aren’t they?”

Yue Yiyue tried to understand what Gu Nanqiu meant. Well, she didn’t get it.

She nodded indiscriminately: “Then do as you wish, just don’t mention separate rooms.”

If she was taken away by the person surnamed Mu then, Yue Yiyue wouldn’t even know.

Just like that, confusedly, Yue Yiyue was hugged by Gu Nanqiu and carried back to bed.

Yue Yiyue repeatedly stressed that she could walk.

But Gu Nanqiu was unusually excited.

…

Yue Yiyue didn’t understand but silently endured.

After all, this was her fault.

Wasn’t it her intentional indulgence that allowed Gu Nanqiu to develop strange feelings for her? Yue Yiyue looked down at the tiny red mole on Gu Nanqiu’s collarbone with a feeling of guilt. She was truly greedy…

Lying in bed, Yue Yiyue felt the fatigue of the day wash over her, making her drowsy.

Gu Nanqiu, beside her, played with Yue Yiyue’s hand and softly asked: “After everything is over, shall we go to a hot spring together?”

“And will you come to my home for Chinese New Year?”

Yue Yiyue yawned sleepily, tears welling up: “Okay… Anything you want. If you want to go, we’ll go.”

“But Mom… Mom is coming back to spend New Year’s with me.” Yue Yiyue changed her position to lie more comfortably.

As Yue Yiyue shifted, Gu Nanqiu also moved closer, holding Yue Yiyue tightly: “No… Mom won’t be coming back…”

“She can’t?” Yue Yiyue was too sleepy to realize why Gu Nanqiu knew her mother wouldn’t return.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and she sighed softly: “But I really want to spend New Year’s with Mom.”

Gu Nanqiu did not respond.

She only looked at Yue Yiyue’s thick hair, listening to her breathing gradually even out.

A moment later, a light laugh suddenly came from an unknown place. A woman’s elegant voice carried an elusive hint of pleasure: “Do you hear? She needs me.”

When Yue Yiyue woke up, the injury on her face felt painless, but she felt something sticky on it.

Just as she was about to touch it, Gu Nanqiu stopped her: “I put on a good medicine for you. Don’t touch it.”

Following Gu Nanqiu’s words, Yue Yiyue turned her head and saw the same medicine that Ye Qiu had used on her before.

The bottle was identical.

Before, Yue Yiyue might have been suspicious.

But now it was different.

Gu Nanqiu saw Yue Yiyue’s gaze: “This is—”

“Something Sister Ye Qiu bought. You saw it and thought it was suitable too, right?”

Yue Yiyue considerately finished the second half of the sentence.

“Yes, that’s right.” Gu Nanqiu smiled: “Yiyue, how are you so clever?”

“Oh, by the way, the Curator sent someone this morning. She said she needs you to go with her to the venue where the banquet will be held on Wednesday.”

She shook the paper in her hand and cleared her throat: “Yiyue, she wants to hire you as her bodyguard to attend this banquet.”

“Once inside, you’ll have an hour and a half of free time. She asked if you remember the sculpture you saw in the room?”

Yue Yiyue thought about it. She must be referring to the sculpture with the three strange marks on its ear.

She sat up and nodded: “I remember.”

“Just destroy it when you see it.” Gu Nanqiu handed the paper to Yue Yiyue: “Before that, Ge Junchu came here, saying she had something she wanted to ask you.”

“I guessed it was about how to avoid death today. I went out and talked to her just now.” Gu Nanqiu handed her warm water: “I’ve arranged most of the things. Only the matter of the sculpture needs your help.”

Yue Yiyue looked at the floor plan of the venue in her hand.

Red markers indicated how Yue Yiyue should enter the innermost room.

Below were several densely written rules.

This banquet has not invited low-level staff with white badges, so low-level staff with white badges will absolutely not appear in the venue. If seen, please contact security to remove them.

Uniform attire is required for this banquet. Guests must wear formal banquet clothing.

The banquet security will guide everyone to the correct locations. Casual wandering is not allowed before the banquet begins.

There will be no strawberry-flavored cake at this banquet. This has been removed by another adult. If strawberry cake is seen, please discard it, otherwise, it will be considered betrayal.

Yue Yiyue looked at the word ‘betrayal’…

Could it be related to Wu Zhen?

No, it should be related to the person behind Wu Zhen.

These monsters have different stances?

Mu Hongcai’s goal was singular: to possess Gu Nanqiu.

What about the person behind Wu Zhen?

Replacement… becoming the new God?

A name flashed through Yue Yiyue’s mind: Zhou Yiqing.

Her older sister might be able to provide some information.

And she needed to find an opportunity…
