CHAPTER 5

"Ugh... Uh..."

Her body felt like it had been compressed into a ball and then unfolded, causing her pain... Ye Xinting didn't know why she had come up with such a bizarre analogy, but she woke up with a sob.

"Uh..."

A dull ache throbbed in her head, and her body felt strangely uncomfortable. Ye Xinting struggled to sit up, whimpering as she opened her eyes and looked around. "Where...where am I? What happened?"

"You have the nerve to ask? Hmph, you suddenly fainted from low blood sugar, and I have to take care of you. Clumsy and useless."

A cold, reprimanding voice came from the side. The familiar voice immediately snapped Ye Xinting back to reality. She hurriedly stood up and called out nervously in the direction of the voice, "M-Miss! I'm so sorry...Eh? Lin...Lin Wan?"

Looking at Zhao Yutong, who was holding her large breasts with an impatient expression, and Lin Wan, who was standing beside her with a bitter smile, a twisted and terrifying memory surged into her mind like a tidal wave—Lin Wan's sexual encounter with her boyfriend, the threats she and the young lady had received, and...****, and...human...human skin!

"...!"

Ye Xinting's pupils contracted, and she frantically searched her body—thankfully, she was unharmed.

"But, so... what was that just now...?

" "M-Miss..." Ye Xinting asked softly, feeling somewhat confused, "What...what happened?"

"..." Zhao Yutong rolled her eyes, looking like she was too lazy to explain again.

"Hehe, Xinting, you were out in the wind on the rooftop and fainted, which startled Yutong," Lin Wan said with a smile. "I happened to be passing by the stairs, and Yutong brought me up to see what was wrong... Thankfully, it's just low blood sugar."

"Low...low blood sugar? Is...is that so..."

She had low blood sugar? Uh, maybe... but she felt there wasn't that simple. But compared to the jumbled memories in her head, this was at least more plausible.

" Alright, alright, since you're alright, get up quickly." Zhao Yutong urged impatiently, "It's been so long since school ended, it's almost dark. Honestly, you're soaking wet, I want to go home and take a shower as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay..." Her mind was still a mess, but Ye Xinting still obeyed the orders of this unapproachable young lady and stood up from the ground...

"...Ah!" For some reason, her body felt weak, and Ye Xinting, who had barely stood up, almost slipped and fell again. Fortunately, a pair of hands caught her in time... Turning around, she saw Lin Wan.

"Be careful, Xinting." Her face wore the impeccable gentle smile of the school beauty, and she smiled as she instructed, "Remember to eat lunch on time in the future, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it."

Her dark eyes, which were fixed on Ye Xinting, were full of concern and clear and flawless.

"...Th-thank you, Senior Lin Wan." For some reason, her face felt slightly hot, and Ye Xinting blushed, momentarily at a loss for words. ...Sure enough, the image of Lin Wan and her "rumored boyfriend" on the rooftop was probably just a dream, right? "Alright, hurry up and get out of here. I have some things to discuss with Lin Wan, you don't need to listen."

Zhao Yutong urged impatiently, her words filled with the unreasonable arrogance of a young lady. "Okay, okay...then, I'll go first." Knowing her temperament, Ye Xinting didn't dare disobey and continue standing there. She quickly bowed slightly to thank Lin Wan, then turned and ran away, going down the stairs. And after her figure completely disappeared into the stairwell...

"...Hehe♥" The gentle smile on Lin Wan's face immediately "rotted," "Although not as good as the current 'me,' she still looks kind of cute♥" ...That gentle senior sister died directly from that lewd and greedy smile.

"Heh, Ye Xinting 'belongs' to me. But, given our current relationship, it's not impossible for you to play with her." Zhao Yutong chuckled wickedly, saying nonchalantly, "By the way, open your hand, I have a 'gift' for you."

"A gift? What do you mean?"

"Why do you care so much? Are you afraid I'll harm you, 'the other me'?" Zhao Yutong glared at Lin Wan, saying with dissatisfaction.

"...Alright, alright, 'Miss'." Lin Wan could only helplessly close her eyes and reach out her hand. The next second...

"...Uh?" A light metal object was placed in her hand, it looked like a dagger... And the only thing on the rooftop that could be used as a dagger was...

"...!" Lin Wan opened her eyes in disbelief, her pupils widening as she stared at the leather blade in her hand, then looked at Zhao Yutong incredulously, "You, what do you mean?"

"It's for you—you really want it, right?" Zhao Yutong shrugged nonchalantly, crossing her arms, just like she usually "gives away" gifts to her classmates who admired her.

“No, uh, indeed… but… but… but why?” Lin Wan’s gaze darted back and forth between the leather blade and Zhao Yutong, her eyes flashing with surprise and confusion, unable to even articulate her question clearly. Fortunately, Zhao Yutong, who shared a bond beyond blood ties with her, understood her meaning, sighed, and said helplessly, “Sigh… if you ask why, it’s because ‘I don’t need it,’ right?” “Don’t need it?” “I already have a better ‘tool.’”

She pointed to her temple, smiling wickedly, “I’ll keep the specific abilities a secret for now, but this dagger is indeed useless to me. Since that’s the case… why not give it to you, so you can also possess magical abilities? In the future, we can go… ‘hunting’ together.” “‘Hunting’…!” Lin Wan silently repeated Zhao Yutong’s words, gripping the leather blade tightly, her face filled with uncontrollable elation. However, she still looked up and said to Zhao Yutong, who was smiling nonchalantly, "Thank you, 'Yutong'."

"You're welcome, don't forget...see you after school tomorrow, 'Lin Wan'." The beautiful girls smiled at each other on the rooftop and left one after another, leaving behind the rooftop that no longer reeked of malice.
