The Senior Student (female) Is Not Human - Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Concrete
“I’ll be much gentler than her.”
“You can’t…”
Xie Shiwei didn’t even finish her sentence.
A cool, jade-like hand arbitrarily pinched her jaw. The next second, a slick tongue ran over the corner of her eye, and all the moisture was drawn into the woman’s mouth.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ tilted her head and commented to herself: “So bitter.”
Xie Shiwei looked at her headstrong, unlistening demeanor, thinking blankly:
They are alike.
Why are they so alike?
It wasn’t just the identical face; aside from the different color of the mole, this person’s personality, mannerisms, and tone of voice were exactly the same as Jiang Xi-yao’s…
—Could there really be two people this similar in the world?
As the thought flashed, an unusual sensation came from her chest.
“Zzzzzrip”
The sound of tearing fabric reached her ears. Xie Shiwei even felt a draft of wind enter her clothes.
Her palm instinctively covered her chest, wondering what new trick the two rags were pulling.
The woman cupping her face, however, curved her red lips, her gaze idly glancing into Xie Shiwei’s collar, and reminded her intimately:
“Your underwear split open.”
“What kind of shoddy rags did you buy? Want me to help you burn them?”
Since the beginning, the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ had smelled the fragments of her own kind on the girl.
She felt an involuntary urge to move closer to the fragments.
But the closer she got, the stranger the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ felt. The unique attraction was very similar to the main body, but why was her main body so weak? It couldn’t even form a proper human skin. Truly stupid.
Now sensing the main body’s release of anger, the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ found it even more amusing.
She stared at the disguised fabric with her black eyes, initially planning to ruthlessly mock the main body for being useless and pathetic. However, her gaze fixed on the two mounds of snow-white flesh and paused.
Such tender flesh.
Hmm? Why do the red marks peaking out look a bit like fingerprints?
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ shifted her eyes, glancing at the fingers currently holding the girl’s face.
The size of the prints perfectly matched the shape of her fingers.
…It looked, as if she had left such evidence through her own brutal handling and lack of tenderness.
Yet, the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ knew perfectly well that she never did such things to humans. She didn’t like touching these dirty, ugly prey, and she would never leave any marks on them.
But her main body actually felt such a strong possessiveness towards this human? Even getting angry because of her approach?
Interesting.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ decided to steal this prey and play with it.
The thoughts took only a few seconds. In reality, her silken black hair streamed under the girl’s collar as she leaned down.
“This part of you is so red.”
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ exclaimed, casually pulling open the girl’s collar with her other hand: “Who was so rough with you? Last night must have been a terrible experience, right?”
Her tone was full of sympathy, yet the smile on her lips widened.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ looked up with a smirk into Xie Shiwei’s eyes: “Want to try with me? I’ll be much gentler than her.”
“Zzzzzrip,” “Zzzzzrip”
The sound of fabric tearing on Xie Shiwei’s body grew more dramatic.
Even cold wind blew between her legs. She had to tense her abdomen and tightly clench her thigh muscles.
But Xie Shiwei had no time to worry about the two pieces of striking fabric. She repeatedly scanned the beautiful woman’s eyes, but never found any familiar emotion.
—This person didn’t know her at all.
But Xie Shiwei could tell, based on her understanding of this familiar face, how much truth lay in the woman’s words.
Gentle?
Those ink-black eyes weren’t saying that at all.
If Xie Shiwei had actually agreed, her fate would be worse than being played with by those unknown entities last night.
The tears on her eyelashes hadn’t dried, yet Xie Shiwei’s expression had regained its calm:
“You don’t even know who I am, or my name. And you’re willing to have a roll in the hay with me?”
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ looked at her strangely: “Does that matter?”
The woman slowly poked her shoulder with her deep-red painted nail, and slowly blinked:
“When doing this sort of thing, isn’t it enough that you’re willing, and I’m interested?”
Xie Shiwei realized now just how good the “meals” she had been eating were. She was completely unmoved by the blatant seduction in this face.
“But I care a lot—”
She said: “I still don’t know who you are, what your name is, or why you’re here.”
Where did this old-fashioned person come from?
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ pouted, wondering what the main body saw in her. Would this boring person, who demanded mutual ID-checking and family stories before getting into bed, not be a total buzzkill?
Could it be because… this person was exceptionally flavorful in bed?
The fragment, which had never been sexually interested in humans, was beginning to get curious.
She scanned Xie Shiwei’s face, neck, and other exposed skin with hidden malice, not realizing that she had started answering the questions obediently:
“Name? My name is Jiang Xi-yao.”
“As for why I’m here? Of course, it’s because the fragile me encountered cruel perverts. They imprisoned me in a basement for a long time. I just escaped, only to run into an awful woman who wanted to kill me.”
“I haven’t eaten in a long time, and I haven’t slept a full night’s sleep in ages.”
She raised a hand to wipe away non-existent tears from her eye, her eyes drooping, like a sad puppy.
“I’m already this pitiful, you’ll surely accept my invitation and take me home, right?”
Xie Shiwei: “…”
All her attention stopped at the three words, “Jiang Xi-yao.”
Consequently, when she looked at the feigned sorrow on that face, she felt a very subtle sensation.
Her intuition told her that this person, like her girlfriend, would always blame everything bad on others. This person was completely a replica of Jiang Xi-yao before they started dating, with an extremely malicious personality.
But because this face was simply too beautiful—
Xie Shiwei now found her wicked demeanor to have a unique charm.
She knew this person was full of danger, because the other was an untamed “wild dog” who would treat her the same as everyone else, merely playing with her. But Xie Shiwei still couldn’t leave.
She wanted to dig out her girlfriend’s secret from this person.
For example, why were they both named ‘Jiang Xi-yao’? Did the name have some special meaning? Was it a code name? How many ‘Jiang Xi-yao’s’ were there? What were their common characteristics?
An ill-timed memory of a person flashed in Xie Shiwei’s mind: Zhou Jiming.
And the words Zhou Jiming had said to her:
“I inherited a predecessor’s legacy and have studied Jiang Xi-yao for many years. I’ve never seen her fall in love with any human.”
“You are the most special one to her. I think you have the right to know her true nature.”
“When you know what kind of characteristics she possesses…”
The cryptic riddles from before were starting to make a little sense now.
Characteristics.
She thought, Besides being malicious, deliberately stirring up trouble, and enjoying bloody, violent pranks, what other characteristics could Jiang Xi-yao have?
“Hey.”
The grip on her jaw suddenly tightened.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ stared at her distracted face, her expression sinking:
“Do you know what happened to the last person who ignored me?”
Xie Shiwei simply “Oh’d” and asked her: “What happened?”
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ stared intently at her.
Although she didn’t like the bitter, sour taste of this person’s tears, her lips and tongue strangely began to dry again.
The monster suddenly really wanted to see her scared to tears.
“The lunatics who constantly want to kill me, I get to admire their ugly state as they go mad and die.”
“And the one who dares to ignore my beauty, remains unmoved by me, and treats me like air, I just want to…” have someone dig out those eyes with no taste, and pull out that stupid tongue that can’t offer compliments.
“Slap!”
A sudden noise interrupted the woman’s dreadful words and dark, terrifying look.
Xie Shiwei froze, looking down at the light green underwear that had burst out of her collar.
What did she just see?
Her underwear had flown out on its own and slapped the person in front of her with the clasp-strap?
She suspected there was something wrong with her eyes, but the abrupt red welt bulging on the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’s’ perfect profile was so obvious.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ belatedly raised a hand to touch her cheek.
A few seconds later, she laughed softly.
“How awful…” She stared at the light green fabric: “Are you so afraid of her hearing what you did?”
The light green fabric swelled up angrily, and the strap flew out again.
This time, however, Xie Shiwei quickly yanked it back.
Xie Shiwei felt the scene was genuinely too bizarre.
It was a good thing no one was passing by this road, otherwise tomorrow’s local trending topic would be: #MentallyIllWomanPullsOutBraInStreetAndViolentlyAttacksPasserby#
She only wanted to die, but not die of public shame.
Oh, wait.
Perhaps the person in front of her was also a figment of her imagination. Maybe she was the only one on the street.
Hmm…
Then the trending topic would be: #WomanAngrilyPullsOutBraAndAttacksAir#
But Xie Shiwei adapted quickly to her own mental illness.
She tucked the underwear back into her collar, ordering it not to leave its post again, and then she asked the person in front of her nonchalantly:
“You just said you haven’t eaten in a long time? I’ll buy you dinner?”
She added: “Let’s consider it an apology for accidentally hitting you just now.”
Xie Shiwei didn’t care whether a ghost was attached to the underwear or whether it had its own consciousness.
She was eager to take the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ to a public place. She no longer trusted anything she saw with her own eyes. She needed to use the reactions of passersby, the eyes of others, to confirm that this ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ was truly real.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ couldn’t figure out whether she knew the main body’s identity or not.
Her ink-black eyes stared at the girl for a long time, and an unhappy “tsk” left her red lips.
If only the heart was with her—
That way, she could clearly hear the inner thoughts of this prey.
Although that ability or lack thereof didn’t prevent her from instinctively judging the emotional intensity released by humans, at this moment, the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ decided she needed to steal the heart.
What right did this fragile waste, who couldn’t even form a human shape, have to hog the heart?
The ability to hear inner thoughts, the memories from the moment of birth until now… and most importantly, the story of how the main body fell in love with this ridiculous human—she wanted it all.
So the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ grudgingly gave Xie Shiwei the opportunity to host her:
“Don’t even think about taking me to a restaurant that’s less than ten thousand per person.”
Xie Shiwei was silent for a long time this time.
Then she said: “Okay.”
“Zzzzzrip,” “Zzzzzrip,” the sound of fabric tearing came from under her clothes again.
Xie Shiwei was getting annoyed. She even considered turning back to the villa to change into normal underwear, perhaps even just a pair of comfortable sleeping shorts. She didn’t want to keep feeling the cold wind on her backside.
The moment the thought settled, the “zzzzzrip” sound stopped.
The cool, slick fabric carefully clung back to her skin, making no further movement.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao,’ who had been listening to the activity under her clothes the whole time, gave her a meaningful glance, curious to know what method she had used to make the main body go against its malicious instincts and become so obedient and restrained.
The two walked out of the villa area. Xie Shiwei had to pass the house where the police cars were parked.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ looked over. Even though she had already absorbed enough malice, she still liked to stop and enjoy the wonderful sight of those ugly things fighting amongst themselves.
Besides, the stinking Taoist who had rushed out aggressively earlier had been successfully led away by her other scattered parts.
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ stopped by the roadside, feigning concern: “Oh my, what happened here?”
Inside the police car, the handcuffed suspect suddenly pressed against the window, his face contorted:
“You bh! It’s you, you bh! You monster! Why aren’t you dead yet—”
The piercing, chaotic shouts were vaguely heard through the police car’s tightly closed windows.
The onlookers couldn’t hear clearly, but the police inside suffered and quickly made him “quiet down.”
Intense malice flared in the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’s’ eyes. She pretended not to hear and turned to look at the crowd that had gathered.
“Oh, what a tragedy. They kept a beautiful young woman locked up in the basement, and then poured concrete over her. The police found bl00d everywhere when they went in…”
“That’s right, that’s right. A beauty like you needs to be careful. You should stay far away from perverts like that.”
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ raised a hand to cover the corner of her lips.
“That’s so scary?” she said: “Isn’t the man of the house a model? Why would he do such a thing? Could it be that he was jealous that someone was prettier than him, so he wanted to destroy that beauty?”
The onlookers subconsciously stared at her face and agreed with her.
“Possibly, that makes sense. Although the police haven’t found the body yet, the person they held must have been as beautiful as you…”
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ showed an expression of invincible loneliness.
“It can’t be helped. A beautiful existence like me is born to be envied.”
Xie Shiwei watched her calmly from the side. She effortlessly became the center of the crowd.
Seeing this ‘Jiang Xi-yao,’ Xie Shiwei thought of a saying:
—The murderer often likes to return to the crime scene to admire their work.
But the murderer had already been caught by the police, hadn’t he?
Xie Shiwei finally confirmed that this person was not a hallucination, but still felt something was amiss.
At this moment, she heard the crowd eagerly sharing the newest gossip about the crime scene with the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’:
“But don’t worry, pretty lady! A kind and beautiful person like you will surely turn misfortune into fortune. Look, a thief broke into the house this time, and that thief courageously called the police, so they came immediately!”
The ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ curled her lip: “Courageously? Didn’t he go in with an electric drill, trying to steal the concrete pillar, only to be discovered by that ugly model, and then they fought, like dogs fighting dogs, and both ended up getting caught?”
She concluded with finality: “A jealous freak who can’t stand other people’s beauty, and a scumbag who lusts after a concrete corpse—they should both be executed.”
The surrounding crowd suddenly understood and agreed with her.
Just then.
A policeman emerged from the villa, carrying blocks of concrete in transparent evidence bags.
A trainee’s hand slipped, and a piece accidentally fell out, shattering into pieces.
Xie Shiwei looked over at the sound of the accident and saw a gray arm, its forearm and fingers lifelike, exactly the same as the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’s’ dangling right hand.
The woman’s earlier, perfunctory words flashed in her mind.
“The fragile me encountered cruel perverts. They imprisoned me in a basement for a long time…”
And the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’s’ words, which contained more detail than the onlookers, even though she was merely passing by.
“The man of the house is a model,” “The thief held an electric drill”…
These details had all come from her mouth.
Why did she know so clearly?
And why did the concrete pillar conform to the shape of her body part?
—Could she be the person who was built into the concrete?
Xie Shiwei had searched countless ways to die during her recent insomnia. She remembered that a person falling into concrete would die from hypoxia, high temperature, and dehydration if not rescued within 20 minutes.
Even quick-drying concrete takes over 1.5 hours to fully set.
But the woman, who was using the crowd to shield herself from the police’s view, had no trace of concrete on her body.
Hmm…?
Xie Shiwei’s gaze settled on the beautiful face.
How did the high, swollen red mark left by the bra strap just now completely vanish?
The woman hadn’t had enough of showing off and was still gleefully fooling the onlookers and selecting new prey.
During this time, Xie Shiwei walked over to the greenery, picked up a dead branch, and expressionlessly drew it across her arm.
A long red welt immediately swelled up on her delicate skin. The fabric under her clothes seemed to tremble slightly.
But Xie Shiwei didn’t care.
She wanted to observe the healing speed of her own wound.
She wanted to know if the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ had superhuman healing ability—
If so, how strong was that ability?
The long sword that flashed with cold light and was frantically plunged into her body on the theater stage years ago.
The heart that was still beating after being pulled out.
The poisoned apple that smelled of bitter almonds.
Countless fatal scenes flashed through Xie Shiwei’s mind, giving her a bold idea:
Could the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ come back from the dead?
The absurd promise from the past also floated back to her ears.
“Xie Shiwei, I won’t die.”
“Isn’t your standard for a partner that they have to be very resistant to death, especially tenacious? At least someone whose life is longer than yours, right?”
“Since you chose me, you have to believe me. I am the one who can live the longest. Whether it’s fire, drowning, suffocation, severe poison, strong corrosives, or even decomposition, I will survive.”
At the time, she thought Jiang Xi-yao was talking nonsense.
But now, she felt the sharp pain on her arm. The red welt she was staring at did not disappear. Instead, its color slowly deepened to blue and purple.
Xie Shiwei actually hoped that everything Jiang Xi-yao said was true.
She desperately wanted to find more evidence that the ‘Jiang Xi-yao’ could come back from the dead.
It was as if, if this person could do it, then her girlfriend could do it too.
—She wanted her girlfriend to perform a miracle of resurrection for her.
Because.
Because she truly, truly missed her girlfriend.
