My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 84

Yue Yiyue looked at the bags in Gu Nanqiu’s hands, feeling a little dazed.

Since kissing Gu Nanqiu yesterday, she had dreamt all night, and new memories had surfaced in her mind.

However, these memories were a little too stimulating for her.

A blush subtly crept up to Yue Yiyue’s earlobes, and her face was also tinted a light, barely noticeable pink.

It seemed she really needed to re-evaluate their relationship.

But because of some constraint, the time hadn’t come for them to openly talk about their stories.

Yue Yiyue could honestly say that even before regaining her memory, she couldn’t easily distance herself from Gu Nanqiu.

And now that she had recovered a small portion of her memory and knew how good her life used to be…

It’s hard to refuse Gu Nanqiu, isn’t it? This is only human nature!

The jumble of thoughts distracted Yue Yiyue during their shopping trip.

Gu Nanqiu held up an item: “Yiyue, aren’t you going to try this one on?”

“Huh?” Yue Yiyue snapped back to attention, looking at the sweater in Gu Nanqiu’s hand. It looked quite stylish, but that lace backless design…

This item had much more fabric than the ones Gu Nanqiu took in her memory. Good, she could buy it.

And Gu Nanqiu also said it would look beautiful worn alone at home.

She swiftly swiped her card and provided the hotel address for delivery.

“Yiyue, you’re so good today, giving me everything I ask for.” During a rest break, Gu Nanqiu leaned back against Yue Yiyue, rubbing against her affectionately: “If buying clothes were like this every time, I would be so happy!”

“Hmm…” Yue Yiyue replied distractedly, calculating when she could visit the place Yu An mentioned.

Recovering her memory was an urgent necessity.

Gu Nanqiu definitely couldn’t get it back for her, otherwise she would have forced the memory back in.

Yue Yiyue was genuinely curious about what was constraining Gu Nanqiu. Look how it’s suppressing my Nanqiu. Recalling yesterday’s events, she felt she was truly blockheaded.

Gu Nanqiu was so direct, yet she really only listened to the heartbeat!

If it were in the past… well, even in the past, Gu Nanqiu would be the one taking the initiative, and she would only need to obediently cooperate.

“Yiyue.” Gu Nanqiu pointed to the clothes across the aisle: “That dress is beautiful. How about we buy it, and you wear it for me later?”

“Hmm… huh?” Yue Yiyue subconsciously hummed, but then noticed the tight-fitting slip dress across the way, and her voice trailed off in confusion.

She knew Gu Nanqiu had many clothes like that, but she usually didn’t wear them much.

Yue Yiyue herself had never considered such a style. She turned her head to Gu Nanqiu: “I am listening to you.”

“I know,” Gu Nanqiu smiled sweetly at Yue Yiyue: “But I still want to see you wear this kind of thing.”

“Alright then.” Yue Yiyue nodded: “Let’s buy it.”

“Then, how about we buy you some new underwear too?” Gu Nanqiu pointed to another store: “Mine also needs replacing—”

Hand in hand, they visited one store after another.

The more they bought, the wider Gu Nanqiu’s smile became.

This drew frequent glances from passersby, and a few talent scouts even approached them.

Gu Nanqiu smiled and declined, then pulled Yue Yiyue into a nearby women’s clothing store.

“Yiyue, what do you think of this coat on me?” Gu Nanqiu changed into a mixed-green tweed coat, paired with a military green long skirt and a white inner sweater.

“This matches your scarf, you know.” Gu Nanqiu twirled around, giving Yue Yiyue a comprehensive display of her outfit.

A person who had also come to shop saw Gu Nanqiu’s ensemble and, after much hesitation, approached Gu Nanqiu to ask for advice.

“This set might not suit you,” Gu Nanqiu smoothly took down a wide sweater from the side and handed it over: “You can try this style. Pair it with wide-leg jeans, and you can still wear fleece underneath.”

“Thank you, Master of Fashion.” Yue Yiyue watched the young girl happily take the clothes and walk into the fitting room. She walked over and handed Gu Nanqiu another light-colored trench coat she was holding: “This one suits you too. Let’s buy them both. I’ll pay.”

Calculating that she still had several thousand yuan left in her monthly allowance, Yue Yiyue thought the money would be perfect for buying clothes for Gu Nanqiu.

She also picked up a large cloak from the side: “This one works. I remember you have a long dress in your closet. It would look great when paired with this in spring.”

“I’ll knit you some more scarves then, so you can pick the scarf first, instead of choosing clothes based on the scarf.” Yue Yiyue naturally took the bag from Gu Nanqiu’s hand: “I remember you seem to like these cloaks. Do you want to try it on, or should we just buy it?”

In her memory, Gu Nanqiu quite liked wearing these cloaks, especially when she was covered up inside, shielded from the wind and snow, and Yue Yiyue could only hear Gu Nanqiu’s heartbeat.

Gu Nanqiu looked at the cloak Yue Yiyue handed her, feeling a little stunned. Did Yiyue… remember something?

Or?

But according to the set program, she shouldn’t…

She thought of the strangely normalized Yu An.

How much information did that Yu An leak to Yue Yiyue?

She hastily stuffed the clothes back in place: “No… you must be mistaken… I don’t really like them.”

Inappropriate scenes flashed through her mind.

Large amounts of blood soaked the cloak, and Yue Yiyue’s weak murmurs were mixed with desperate wails.

“Yiyue, you must have misremembered.” The smile on Gu Nanqiu’s face faded slightly, and she lost interest in shopping for clothes.

“Let’s just buy this set. I think I have enough clothes.” Gu Nanqiu said and then went into the fitting room, leaving Yue Yiyue alone to wait.

On the way back, Gu Nanqiu was very quiet.

Yue Yiyue tried to talk to her several times, but seeing Gu Nanqiu’s somewhat sad face, she swallowed her words.

She could only clasp Gu Nanqiu’s hand tightly, trying to offer some comfort through her own body temperature.

“Yiyue, I’m sorry.” The moment the door closed, Gu Nanqiu clung to Yue Yiyue, leaning on her shoulder and cooing softly: “I was just too tired.”

“I really don’t like cloaks. Seeing that kind of material just makes me annoyed.” She rubbed against Yue Yiyue’s face, then pinned her against the entrance, whispering close to her ear.

Sensing that Gu Nanqiu’s mood was off, Yue Yiyue gently patted Gu Nanqiu’s back, trying to soften her voice: “It’s my fault, I’m sorry.”

Such a strong reaction to this item meant that something must have happened.

It was unlikely she could pry the information out of Gu Nanqiu’s mouth.

Fingertips tracing the face of the person in front of her, Yue Yiyue’s mind flashed with a few scenes of her and Gu Nanqiu tumbling onto the bed.

Anyway, everything that should have been done was done before. So what if they just kissed now?

Yue Yiyue pressed her lips against Gu Nanqiu’s, comforting her with a stream of light, continuous, gentle kisses.

Worried about accidentally biting Gu Nanqiu’s lip again, Yue Yiyue was extra careful this time.

She subtly looked up at Gu Nanqiu, meeting the other person’s expectant gaze.

Yue Yiyue lightly nibbled Gu Nanqiu’s lip, and with the other person’s deliberate indulgence, they exchanged a lingering kiss.

“Yiyue, you’ve been so clingy lately, and your kissing has improved so much—” Gu Nanqiu touched the corner of her mouth, realizing it was just like how she taught her hand-by-hand before.

From just one kiss, Gu Nanqiu was already sure that Yue Yiyue had awakened a part of her memory.

It seemed she hadn’t recalled the memory that had left Yue Yiyue heartbroken yet.

Suppressing the embarrassment of being complimented, Yue Yiyue pulled at Gu Nanqiu’s clothes: “Don’t be unhappy.”

“I’m here.”

Gu Nanqiu buried her head into Yue Yiyue’s shoulder and neck guiltily. Her warm breath sprayed onto Yue Yiyue’s skin. Gu Nanqiu’s eyes darkened: “Yes… you’re here.”

If she finds out what happened later, will she hate me?

Never mind.

Hatred lasts longer than love.

It’s better than being invisible.

She didn’t want to go back to those days without Yue Yiyue…

She can’t…

She mustn’t.

Back in the room, the warmth of the heater washed over them. Yue Yiyue felt sleepy again. It was true that she hadn’t slept well last night because of the bizarre dreams.

She pulled Gu Nanqiu to lie down on the bed with her, putting on a soothing tune to take a nap.

An hour later, Yue Yiyue, having caught up on sleep, opened her eyes and saw Gu Nanqiu’s beautiful face staring blankly at her.

There was only her small reflection in Gu Nanqiu’s tea-colored eyes. In this moment, Gu Nanqiu’s appearance overlapped with the person in her dream.

So obedient.

Yue Yiyue thought, and instinctively pulled Gu Nanqiu into her embrace.

She rubbed Gu Nanqiu’s protruding shoulder blades, holding her somewhat thin body, feeling a strange pang of sympathy.

Fortunately, even without any memory, she was still attracted to Gu Nanqiu and stood by her side.

“Yiyue, why are you crying?” A warm, damp tongue traced the corner of Yue Yiyue’s eye. The salty tears melted into her mouth. The next moment, warm lips touched Yue Yiyue’s eyelid, then landed on the tip of her nose: “Did you have a nightmare?”

“Mm.” Yue Yiyue buried her face in Gu Nanqiu’s chest, humming softly, inhaling Gu Nanqiu’s familiar scent: “I dreamt you became a stranger.”

“I dreamt you said you didn’t want me anymore.”

“That truly sounds like a nightmare,” Gu Nanqiu concluded, frowning.

Even at the height of their most devastating arguments, she would only lock herself in the room after making food. If Yue Yiyue didn’t feed her, she wouldn’t eat.

It was a beautiful day. The sky was unusually blue. People who were no longer afraid of being inexplicably caught in strange places could finally come out for air and resume their normal lives. The city became lively and vibrant.

However, all of this had nothing to do with the two people in the room. Curtains blocked the dazzling sunlight outside the window. The room was dim, carrying a hint of gloominess, though the temperature was comfortable thanks to the diligent work of the constant-temperature air conditioner.

A corner of the duvet hung down from the bed, and the coats tossed aside looked somewhat pathetic.

The stereo played a lyrical song, singing of lingering love.

Yue Yiyue, lying on the soft mattress, looked at the ceiling twinkling with scattered light: “Yes, because I know you would never say such a thing to me, I realized immediately that it was a nightmare.”

Gu Nanqiu changed her posture, pulling Yue Yiyue into her arms. At this moment, they were inseparable.

She raised her hand, rubbed Yue Yiyue’s dark hair, and hooked a strand to play with in her palm: “Yiyue understands me so well.”

“I truly wouldn’t say such a thing no matter what.” Gu Nanqiu teased, whispering softly: “Perhaps we once promised each other that we would always give the other a chance to explain, no matter what.”

“Perhaps, you once promised me that you would remember me no matter what, and even if you didn’t remember me, you would strive to get close to me.”
