Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Chapter 52: Peach Jam or Whatever, I Don’t Like Him At All!

A gentle breeze blew past, bringing a cool sensation to Jiang Miao’s palm.

He then realized that his palm was slick with sweat.

He didn’t know if it was just his or if Senior Sister’s hand was also sweaty.

He clenched his fists and glanced around at the students passing, reminiscing about the feeling just now while feeling that everyone around was looking at him.

Well, maybe he was just feeling guilty.

Even though Jiang Miao seemed to have gotten closer to Senior Sister, he didn’t know what to say in this atmosphere.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Su Huaizhou tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear with her right hand to hide the blush on her cheeks. “Don’t tell me you’re still reminiscing?”

“N-no.” Jiang Miao’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t dare to look at Senior Sister, feeling that she was like a roundworm in his stomach and could see right through his thoughts.

“So, do you think it’s useful?” Su Huaizhou continued. “Like, is it useful material for you?”

Although Jiang Miao’s mind was indeed blank when they held hands, if he deliberately recalled it, he could indeed summarize the feeling of holding a girl’s hand.

It was much better than when he held his left and right hands together and imagined the sensation to describe the male and female leads holding hands.

Thinking about it this way, I was really pitiful before…

If he encountered difficult scenes to write in the future, he could just experiment with Senior Sister for material. The quality of his novel might really reach another level.

But then again… Jiang Miao turned to look at Senior Sister and felt it would be very impolite to treat her as a tool.

“Don’t think too much about it.” Su Huaizhou, seemingly having a mind-reading spell specific to Jiang Miao, turned her head and smiled at him. “I’m just urging you to release. If you want to repay me, then write well. Got it?”

Jiang Miao pondered while walking out of the school gate with Senior Sister and heading towards Xiuye Commons.

After clearing his mind and calming down a bit, he said sincerely, “Senior Sister, I still think this is—”

Before he could finish, he felt his hand being held again.

Choking on his words, he looked down at their hands tightly clasped together again, unsure how to continue.

“I think Peach Jam is very brave,” Su Huaizhou said, her usual teasing smile replaced with a serious expression as she looked at Jiang Miao. “It’s really impressive to make such a decision in high school.”

“But still…” Jiang Miao felt the warmth and softness of her hand in his and was reluctant to part with it, but he still said, “It’s not fair to you.”

“In what way is it not fair?”

“Uh… pretending to be a couple is not fair to the girl…”

“Huh?” Su Huaizhou instinctively wanted to smooth her hair, but as soon as she was about to move her right hand, she remembered that Jiang Miao was still holding it. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still said assertively, “Junior Brother, your thinking is quite traditional.”

“Huh?”

“You think that when a guy and a girl have physical contact, the girl is the one losing out.” Su Huaizhou’s gaze drifted to the horizon, not daring to meet Jiang Miao’s eyes. “But from my perspective, who knows who’s taking advantage of whom?”

Jiang Miao: “…”

Why does it feel like she’s teasing me?

He couldn’t find any words to refute, so the two of them fell silent.

Yet their hands remained clasped.

Su Huaizhou didn’t pull away.

And Jiang Miao didn’t let go.

The two of them continued walking hand in hand like a couple in love for the first time, both shy and nervous, eager and silent.

It wasn’t until the entrance of Dormitory Building 30 was right in front of them that they suddenly snapped back to reality.

Their hands released.

Both were sweaty.

Fortunately, they hadn’t bumped into anyone they knew on the way. Otherwise, Jiang Miao wouldn’t have been able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Qiantang River.

“So, it’s settled then.” Su Huaizhou looked at Jiang Miao, her smile brightening under the sunlight. “From today onwards, I’m your pretend girlfriend~”

Jiang Miao opened his mouth.

Logic told him he should refuse.

But for some reason, he nodded.

It was as though he had been possessed and lost control of his body.

By the time he returned to his senses, Senior Sister had already reached the stairs on the first floor. She smiled and waved at him before disappearing around the corner.

Jiang Miao stared blankly at the stairs and then looked down at his left hand, not knowing how he had even made it back to his dorm room.

He climbed onto his bed and lay down, his mind still in a mess. He felt that what had happened today was surreal.

This kind of scenario that should only exist in novels actually happened to him.

Jiang Miao raised his left hand and moved it closer but stopped halfway.

After thinking about it, he pulled the bed curtain shut, then finally brought his left hand to the tip of his nose and gently sniffed.

Damn it, so perverted…

But it didn’t really smell like anything. It was just the normal scent of sweat on his hand.

But when he thought about how Senior Sister’s hand had been in his hand just now, he seemed to smell a sweet scent.

It’s over… Jiang Miao covered his face with a pillow.

He felt like he was really turning into a pervert.

But after he calmed down and reflected on the experience earlier, his expression gradually settled into one of quiet contemplation.

Then he suddenly flipped over, got up in bed, and opened his laptop.

Inspiration was flowing like a fountain.

Writing software—

Open!

…

Meanwhile, in Room 611 of Building 30.

Su Huaizhou flopped onto her bed, hugged her blanket tightly, and let out a series of muffled, embarrassed sounds. Her face was blushing with uncontrollable shyness as she rolled back and forth, releasing all the accumulated emotions from the walk back.

After she finally exhausted herself, she lay on her back, staring at the pink bed curtains above her, slowly replaying the outrageous things she had done today.

I really did it…

Pretending to be his girlfriend…

Yueyue once said that you could prepare for exams by doing homework, but not when it came to love.

Didn’t I just prove otherwise?

Thinking of this, Su Huaizhou couldn’t stop her lips from curling up, smiling proudly and shyly.

Realizing she was smiling too much, she quickly covered her mouth.

But the next second, she remembered that the right hand covering her mouth was the same one that had held Junior Brother’s hand earlier.

Hmm… Su Huaizhou’s small nose twitched. There’s no smell…

Realizing what she was doing, she blushed again, grabbed her blanket, and banged her head against it. What on earth are you doing, Su Huaizhou?! This is too perverted!

Ahhh!!! It’s all Yueyue’s fault!

If she hadn’t talked nonsense these past two days, I definitely wouldn’t have done something so ridiculous.

But…

She didn’t regret it at all.

In fact, she was even very happy.

Su Huaizhou reached out to remove her hairband, letting her ponytail unravel.

Her silk hair spread out messily across her bed.

Her lips, reddened from being bitten, were slightly parted, and her eyes glistened with a soft, watery sheen.

She turned to her side and reached into her pocket to take out her phone. The soft glow shone on her flushed cheeks.

She opened QQ, where the pinned chat was with [Peach Jam].

Then she opened WeChat, where the pinned chat was with [Miaomiao is Deep in Thought].

Biting her lip, Su Huaizhou placed her phone on her full chest as her mind wandered silently. Am I just grateful to Peach Jam for the support back then, or have I really developed improper feelings for Junior Brother?

She decided to test it.

If Junior Brother could really make her heart flutter…

Then maybe dating wasn’t so impossible.

Blushing, Su Huaizhou buried her face in her blanket and made up her mind.

She mustered her courage, picked up her phone, and opened her WeChat with Junior Brother.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Junior Brother, want to have dinner together?

Ten minutes later, a reply came.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Sorry, Senior Sister. I’m in the middle of writing.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Inspiration struck, and I’m afraid I’ll forget if I don’t write it down now.

As Su Huaizhou read the message, she gritted her teeth.

Annoyed, she threw her phone onto her bed.

With a huff, she pressed her white sock-clad foot on Junior Brother’s profile picture.

Peach Jam or whatever…

I don’t like him at all!!!
