The Senior Student (female) Is Not Human - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Left Ear

Holding her.

Xie Shiwei was greatly astonished. She never thought that by stopping to listen to gossip, she’d become the subject of it herself?

—The person occupying the love-struck mind of such a brilliant beauty… is me?!

Xie Shiwei’s expression was bewildered.

She felt as if she had walked past a lottery booth, bought a ticket on a whim, and scratched off a five-million-yuan prize.

No!

How could a jinx like her win five million?

Xie Shiwei couldn’t help but recall that she had never won in a “100% Win Another Bottle” promotion since childhood. The prize bottle caps that everyone else could open would, when she bought them, be the rare “misprint,” or “old stock mixed in with the new.”

Even in the past, when only paper money was used, and people could potentially pick up money just by walking with their heads down.

She and her classmate walked home from school together. In a short ten-meter distance, her classmate bent down three times and picked up 50 yuan, while Xie Shiwei, who saw nothing, suspected that the world hadn’t enabled the “RMB Visible” layer for her.

How could such an unlucky person find such a beautiful girlfriend?

A pig-butchering scam.

It must be a pig-butchering scam.

Xie Shiwei’s bewildered eyes sharpened. She watched the beauty sitting on the long bench approach her step by step. She immediately decided and shouted the most important line:

“I don’t have any money! I still have a two-million-yuan loan hanging over me!”

Jiang Xi-yao didn’t break her stride: “I’ll help you pay it back.”

“Hiss…”

The surrounding crowd gasped, starting to point and criticize Xie Shiwei: “Slut! She’s an absolute slut! She’s making her beautiful partner earn money to pay off her debts. Does she have any conscience left?!”

Upon hearing the shift in public opinion, Xie Shiwei knew things were going badly. Just as she was about to speak again, she suddenly caught a whiff of a peculiar fragrance emanating from the beauty.

She immediately recalled the online debate about “inhaled knockout drugs.” Some rumors suggested that modern human traffickers carried high-grade sedatives. As long as they got close to the target, the victim would inhale the drug, instantly lose consciousness, and be at their mercy!

She was already starting to feel warm all over! Her legs were starting to go weak!

Adhering to the principle of “better safe than sorry,” Xie Shiwei believed every anti-fraud public service announcement issued by official accounts and every terrifying story circulated among the populace!

Look, wasn’t she running into one right now?

Xie Shiwei cautiously took a large step back, wanting to reach for her phone to send an SOS to Chu Chu, but her fingertips grasped at empty air.

The next second.

She saw her familiar, worn-out phone appear in the beautiful woman’s palm.

The old item, resting in a hand that looked like an ivory carving, exuded the aura of a treasured antique.

Jiang Xi-yao eyed her coldly.

Not only did she reserve all her anti-scam vigilance for her, but she also always pinned her hopes on those useless people who weren’t present every time she encountered danger.

“Who are you trying to call?” Jiang Xi-yao pressed her thumb to the screen, her tone full of menace: “I’ll help you.”

—She would help Xie Shiwei by killing that useless, late-arriving wretch.

However, the girl who had just been extremely alert toward her now looked utterly bewildered.

Xie Shiwei was stunned.

Why could this person unlock her phone?

Not even her most beloved family members, nor her best friend, had their fingerprints registered on her phone.

A phone is a modern person’s most private space, hiding all their secrets.

Xie Shiwei found it unbelievable that she was apparently willing to share the several gigabytes of treasured data inside with this beautiful girl…

【Would we also intimately cuddle up together on holidays, like other couples, to jointly appreciate those comics and live-action films?】

【Perhaps even study and practice on the spot when passion strikes?】

【Just how far have we… gone with all that?】

Xie Shiwei couldn’t help but blush just thinking about it.

Jiang Xi-yao scoffed lightly, realizing that the girl truly remained dedicated to her original intention, her mind only ever focusing on such things.

But she didn’t stop her, letting Xie Shiwei’s thoughts wander until the other party recovered her senses, suddenly grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into the hospital room.

The door closed, cutting off the curious stares outside.

Xie Shiwei retrieved her phone, flipping it over and over to confirm, then asked, “How about you, tell me a little more?”

While waiting for the answer, however, her mind was running wild.

The tactile memory of the wrist she had touched lingered on her fingertips.

So delicate, cool, and smooth like silk—

She desperately wanted to touch it again, to keep touching it.

My goodness! Had she been consuming such fine food every day before? How could she forget such a delicious girlfriend?!

“How long have we been dating?” Xie Shiwei couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Jiang Xi-yao was about to say that Xie Shiwei had been madly in love with her since the day she was born!

The words were at her lips, but she managed to suppress them with effort.

She put on a displeased look, casually pulled out a piece of paper, and tossed it onto the girl’s shoulder: “Figure it out yourself! It was you who wrote me a love letter first, you who confessed to me first! You who pursued me first!”

Xie Shiwei was first drawn in by her own handwriting.

After she clearly read the content, she was stunned again:

“The first day I met you, my world became bright. The colors in my eyes were given new meaning because of you.”

She immediately recalled the sight of Jiang Xi-yao she had glimpsed through the crowd just moments ago.

Bl00d rushed from her heart to her limbs, causing a tingling sensation.

Seeing just these two sentences, Xie Shiwei decided to believe the person in front of her.

Although she didn’t know why she was experiencing specific memory loss, she remembered the perpetually blank space where her parents should be and the painful memories of her grandparents’ funeral that she had only managed to retain with the help of her best friend.

She knew this person must be very important to her.

She had a vague premonition.

Even if she lost her memory countless times, as long as she saw this person again, she would inevitably fall for her.

Even if she took off her glasses, her eyes would instinctively pursue this splash of color. Even if she was in a bustling market, her nose would be able to distinguish this transcendent, unique fragrance.

Her legs would uncontrollably weaken just by being near this person.

And even, even…

A certain moist reaction was also wetly reminding her of the intensity of her desire for this person.

Jiang Xi-yao heard all of her psychological activities crystal clear.

But she remained unmoved.

Unique colors? That was because of her innate beauty. Any person who wasn’t completely blind would be captivated by the charm of this attractive skin.

Unique fragrance? The Painted Skin, nourished by the world’s most extreme evil and desire, would make any human its captive of lust. Moreover, foolish creatures always liked to commit ritual suicide with her. When buried underground, it was inevitable to be tainted by the oil leaking from human corpses.

As for the weak legs—

Ha.

That was just a mistake this looks-obsessed, horny idiot would make for any exceedingly beautiful woman.

Jiang Xi-yao looked at the love letter.

She had originally prepared many lies.

But now, just this single, flimsy piece of paper was enough for this fool to give her unconditional trust.

Yet, Jiang Xi-yao felt no joy or delight from the success of her plan.

The mere thought that these words were originally carefully written by Xie Shiwei for someone else made the red mole on her lip begin to feel strangely congested, as if its hidden dwelling had become cramped and confined.

Jiang Xi-yao felt uncomfortable and wanted to reach in and pull that heart out, placing it somewhere more spacious.

She didn’t need to breathe, but she felt that only by doing so could she catch her breath.

It turned out that some things, even when snatched, would constantly remind her that they did not belong to her.

This love letter didn’t belong to her, and Xie Shiwei didn’t belong to her.

Even if she monopolized Xie Shiwei’s sight, becoming the only scenery for those eyes; even if she overwhelmed Xie Shiwei’s senses of smell, hearing, and touch, taming that body full of desire, she couldn’t tame Xie Shiwei’s heart.

Jiang Xi-yao suddenly began to regret. Was there any need to continue this foolish dating game?

The result would not change.

“I’m so sorry…”

Xie Shiwei read the words on the letter repeatedly, then returned it to Jiang Xi-yao with both hands, her movements careful and cautious: “You must be very angry, right?”

Deep guilt appeared in the girl’s clear eyes, looking at her through the black-rimmed glasses:

“It was reckless of me to pursue you, and then to forget you. I’m truly awful.”

Although Xie Shiwei had always believed she would never date anyone in her life.

Seeing an existence so beautiful it surpassed her imagination, she suddenly understood her impulsiveness.

Most importantly, she couldn’t do anything that would cheat someone else’s feelings.

Xie Shiwei raised her hand and reached for Jiang Xi-yao’s obviously expensive sleeve: “I’m sorry.”

But as her fingertips landed, they acted against her owner’s will.

They greedily climbed up Jiang Xi-yao’s wrist again, touching the delicate, smooth, soft skin.

The term of endearment that Xie Shiwei thought she needed to psych herself up to say now easily slipped out:

“—Girlfriend.”

Jiang Xi-yao’s movement to pull away instantly froze.

She was startled. “What did you call me?”

Xie Shiwei bit her lip, a trace of confusion in her eyes.

【D-did I say the wrong thing?】

【But I haven’t even dared to ask this great beauty her name yet… What did I use to call her? Was it more intimate than that? Darling? Sweetheart? Baby? Wife?】

【Or did I call her a nickname? Ah, I really want to know her nickname. A term only close family can use must be really cute, right?】

Jiang Xi-yao’s mole, which was already feeling painfully congested, now began to throb erratically.

The sounds she could hear from the heart were identical in tone to the owner.

Even though Xie Shiwei was just murmuring in her mind, to her, it was as if the other person was pressed right against her ear, repeating those shameless terms one after another.

Jiang Xi-yao suddenly felt that this game wasn’t so bad after all; she could play a little longer.

She reversed her grip, grabbing Xie Shiwei’s forearm and pulling the person into her arms.

She tilted her head, ensuring her left snow-white ear was pressed snugly against the girl’s soft lips.

“Say it again, Xie Shiwei.”

Suddenly falling into this fragrant embrace, Xie Shiwei felt the other person’s scent surge in from all directions, like a tide.

Her nose touched cool strands of hair, ticklish. Her body pressed against this exquisite curve, so soft.

But what made her throat constrict was the slight coolness against her lips.

She couldn’t clearly see the outline of the person’s ear, but under her tightly closed lips, her clenched teeth ached, and her salivary glands secreted abundant saliva, wanting to taste a delicacy.

She wanted to bite. She wanted to suck.

She wanted to hold that ear between her teeth, gently grinding against the soft cartilage beneath the skin.

“Gulp”

Xie Shiwei fiercely swallowed.

The sound of swallowing traveled into that nearby ear.

The moment Jiang Xi-yao looked up in confusion, Xie Shiwei finally opened her lips: “Girlfriend…”

The word fell.

She couldn’t wait any longer. She opened her teeth and bit her prey!

—If she was her girlfriend, it shouldn’t matter if she took a bite, right?
