Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Chapter 51: This Isn’t Dating! It’s Just Gathering Material!

What did it feel like to touch a girl’s hand?

Jiang Miao had no idea.

But at this moment, Senior Sister’s small hand was holding his.

It was soft, cool, and smooth.

After he touched it a few times, it gradually warmed up, becoming like soft cotton soaked in water.

Jiang Miao felt his heart about to jump out of his chest, and his entire body was heating up.

The hand held by Senior Sister, along with his entire arm, felt weak and tingly, and half of his body was stiff as though electricity was running through it.

Is she… about to confess to me?

No way, no way…

But didn’t she say she wasn’t interested in dating?

Could it be that the charm I exude all the time is too irresistible even for her?

While Jiang Miao’s mind was spinning with all kinds of thoughts, Su Huaizhou had already withdrawn her hand.

Feeling the sudden emptiness in his palm, Jiang Miao subconsciously squeezed it. After he realized that Senior Sister had already let go, a sense of emptiness washed over him.

When he turned to look at Senior Sister, he was shocked to find her exquisite face suddenly approaching his.

“Junior Brother, are you feeling shy?” Su Huaizhou asked with a playful smile, her cheeks slightly flushed. She tilted her head and asked, “How did it feel?”

Jiang Miao instinctively took half a step back, leaned his upper body away slightly, and turned his head, still in a daze. “Senior Sister… what do you mean?”

His lips felt a little dry, his throat was tight, and his voice was off.

If Senior Sister said she liked him and wanted to date, should he agree or reject her?

He had just declared that he didn’t want to date. If he agreed, wouldn’t that be slapping himself in the face?

But if he rejected her…

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Senior Sister’s side profile. The curves of her face, from the delicate outline of her face down to her chin, were flawless.

How could he possibly say no? Wouldn’t he be struck by lightning?

[I just said I didn’t want to date, but my gorgeous senior sister confessed to me. Should I reject her? Waiting online, very urgent!]

If Jiang Miao had the time, he really wanted to post this on Zhihu to consult the wisdom of netizens.

Unfortunately, time was not on his side, and Senior Sister had already started speaking.

“Didn’t you say that this novel is very important to you, and you feel that you lack experience?” Su Huaizhou smiled and clasped her hands behind her back. “As a loyal reader of Peach Jam, of course I have to help you gather material.

“How is it? How did it feel to hold a girl’s hand?

“Hurry up and write down what you just felt. Don’t waste my efforts.”

Jiang Miao stood there with his mouth agape, unable to process what she said.

When he finally came back to his senses and realized how self-absorbed his thoughts had just been, he immediately felt embarrassed.

But after confirming Senior Sister’s intentions, for some reason, he felt a bit disappointed.

Even so, Jiang Miao looked down at his left hand and recalled the vibrant touch of holding hands just now. Only then did he realize that holding hands was actually so magical.

Without such personal experience, the hand-holding scenes in his novels had indeed lacked depth.

He didn’t fully capture this feeling!

“How is it? Still not enough?” Su Huaizhou asked, pretending to sound indifferent. But her gaze kept darting to Jiang Miao’s left hand, with an unsatisfied expression lingering in her eyes. She teased, “Wanna try again?”

“W-wait!” Jiang Miao hurriedly took two steps back and distanced himself from Senior Sister. He felt his heart, which had just settled down, was about to jump out of his chest again.

“Hey, your reaction makes me very sad.”

“It’s not that… Senior Sister…” Jiang Miao hesitated for a moment before saying, “Isn’t this inappropriate? You know… people shouldn’t touch each other casually…”

“Didn’t you say you don’t plan to date? Are you afraid I’ll delay you from finding a girlfriend?”

“Uh… no. I just think this might not be good for you.”

“I’m not planning to date either, so what does it matter?” Su Huaizhou tilted her head, looking innocent. “Since neither of us plans to date, and you happen to need material for writing while I want to urge you to release faster, isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”

Jiang Miao hesitated, “This…”

It’s hard to refuse…

He couldn’t help glancing at Senior Sister’s fair and soft hand, still reminiscing about the warm sensation from earlier.

What should I do? I really want to hold her hand again.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Su Huaizhou couldn’t hold back any longer. She pursed his lips, turned her head, and quietly moved her hand closer.

Soon, the backs of their hands brushed against each other, then separated, and then touched again.

Jiang Miao’s body immediately stiffened. Every time the back of their hands touched, it felt as though an electric current flowed through him, causing his heart to beat wildly in his chest.

Is this what Senior Sister means?

It must be.

After all, the hints are so obvious.

Wouldn’t I look foolish if I didn’t take her hand now?

Besides, didn’t Senior Sister say it herself?

Since neither of us plans to date, in order to get material and write a story that satisfies her, we’ll just hold hands…

Yes, that’s right!

This is for material!

It’s all for my dear and cute readers that I’m willing to make a sacrifice and offer my first time holding hands with the opposite sex as an adult.

Anyway, it’s already my first time… It doesn’t matter if I do it again, right?

Since Senior Sister doesn’t mind, why should I mind?

It’s not like we’re really dating. It’s just gathering material!

Jiang Miao repeatedly reassured and hypnotized himself in his mind. After a long time, he finally mustered his courage and grasped Senior Sister’s delicate hand with his left hand.

As soon as her hand was held, Su Huaizhou trembled slightly.

Her moist eyes blinked uneasily several times, and her beautiful eyelashes fluttered in sync with her nervous mood.

The two of them were walking on a stone path in the grove and lawn in front of the library, with few people around.

Jiang Miao held Senior Sister’s hand, holding his breath, his body stiff, and walked forward step by step.

The previous sensation passed straight from his palm to his brain. It was soft, gentle, and even temptingly elastic when gently squeezed.

Is this what it feels like to hold a girl’s hand? Jiang Miao felt a bit dizzy. He suddenly looked up and found that the dark clouds had cleared, and warm sunlight was streaming through the gaps in the clouds and caressing the treetops.

Flecks of golden light sprinkled down through the gaps of the leaves, falling to the ground, onto Jiang Miao, onto Senior Sister’s exquisite and charming face.

As he glanced at the side of her face again, amid the shifting light and shadows, he sensed the fragrance of romance from her slightly pursed lips.

He was tempted to savor it.

But the next moment, they exited the stone path and reached the spacious asphalt path.

All of a sudden, students walking or cycling passed by them.

Although not many eyes stopped on this ‘couple’, Jiang Miao and Su Huaizhou still let go of each other’s hands in a panic as though they had been caught having an affair.

“H-how was it?” Su Huaizhou adjusted her breathing and tone, trying her best to sound composed as she asked, “Did you remember the feeling?”

Jiang Miao’s heart was pounding. “Uh, yeah…”

It’s over.

My mind is blank.

I don’t remember anything.
