Chapter 190: Yu Yao: “Stop Telling Me to Shut Up, I Think I’m Dreaming Again”
“Even if you say so…”
Bai Feng stared at the extremely tense Yu Yao, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. Was she losing it again? Did he say something wrong just now?
“Spill it! Whatever request you have, I, your senior sister, will agree!”
Seeing Yu Yao’s stubborn resolve as if she was ready to stick to her guns no matter what, Bai Feng figured he might as well make a demand that wasn’t too outrageous: “Then… just give me a drink of water.”
“Hey… do you even drink water? Got it.”
Yu Yao hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. She turned and picked up the tea cup from the table, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
Next second, she lifted the cup and gulped it down fiercely, then spun around to face Bai Feng.
“SENIOR SISTER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING…”
“……”
Yu Yao didn’t say anything. Or more accurately, with a mouthful of water, she couldn’t speak at all.
Then she reached out, grabbed Bai Feng’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and pressed herself against him.
Bai Feng didn’t get to taste any tea — instead, his clothes got a full soaking.
A few seconds later, Yu Yao slowly moved her lips away, her rationality seemingly returning. Her face was flushed like a ripe peach.
She looked at her wet clothes, lowered her head, and whispered, “You could at least cooperate with me a little…”
“First of all, what I meant by ‘feed’ isn’t this,” Bai Feng reached up, touched his slightly wet lips, then suddenly leaned forward, getting close to Yu Yao. “It’s this spot.”
“Wait… mmm…”
Little Snow, standing nearby, covered her eyes with her paws, feeling that her contribution probably counted for fifty percent.
……
Yu Yao shyly curled up in Bai Feng’s embrace, her small face bright red, eyes still a bit foggy.
She looked at Little Snow sprawled out on the sofa, then raised her head to glance at Bai Feng. She sighed and changed to a more comfortable position, resting in Bai Feng’s arms with her eyes closed.
“Senior sister, what’s wrong?”
“Don’t make a fuss. I think I’m dreaming right now. I need to hold on tight and remember this scene.”
Yu Yao said with her eyes shut.
“……”
A few minutes later, Yu Yao opened her eyes, looked up at Bai Feng, and was deep in thought.
“Senior sister, you’re awake?”
“Am I dreaming within a dream again?” Yu Yao closed her eyes once more.
Another few minutes passed, and she opened her eyes again, staring at Bai Feng in front of her, lost in thought again.
“Senior sister, do you think you’re dreaming within a dream?”
“No, I think I might have fallen asleep in a dream and then woken up from it.” Yu Yao shook her head seriously. “The evidence is that your conversations with me line up perfectly with my previous dreams, so it definitely isn’t just dreaming of a dream!”
“Is there a possibility—you’re not dreaming at all?”
“……Are you saying that senior sister had a sip of tea in reality and then suddenly attacked the little junior brother, only to be caught off guard because her attack was all wrong? That kind of thing is impossible! I would only do such nonsense in dreams!”
Gradually, Yu Yao’s confidence waned. She pinched her arm, clearly feeling the pain and the sting of reality.
“Did I really do that kind of thing?” A blush rose on her face again as she looked away, muttering, “I was just thinking about it… why is my body moving on its own…”
Suddenly, she looked up at Bai Feng. “Little junior brother, tell me this is all just a dream, okay?”
“If senior sister can’t accept reality, I can help pretend nothing ever happened.”
“It’s not that I can’t accept it… I just… I’m not ready,” Yu Yao said, reaching out and scratching her flushed cheek.
“Then why did you send me that kind of photo?”
“I… I was just feeling a bit impulsive at the time,” Yu Yao admitted softly. “I regretted it right after. Recently, I’ve been worried about what to do if you start distancing yourself from me…”
“How could that happen? Senior sister’s so adorable, why would I distance myself from you? Besides, we’re close partners!” Bai Feng slowly wrapped her in a gentle embrace, whispering, “Sorry, senior sister. I should’ve come to see you sooner.”
Yu Yao’s tiny heart hammered loudly. She felt like her body might just give out. “N-no, it’s okay… Bai Feng, it’s because you’re so busy! I… I was just too scared to face you…”
“Alright, alright, don’t hold me so tightly. It’s a bit embarrassing.” Yu Yao weakly pushed Bai Feng’s arm away. “And I am your senior sister—shouldn’t I be the one holding you?”
“Next time, senior sister can hold me. For now, let me enjoy this a little longer.”
“…Just this once, okay?”
A few minutes later, Yu Yao slowly lifted her head. The flush on her face had faded a little.
She looked at Bai Feng for a few seconds before whispering, “By the way, little junior brother, you’re really skilled…”
……
Then she lowered her head, muttering softly with a hint of annoyance, “I should have made the first move earlier.”
Little Snow, beside them, rolled her eyes. Without her, you wouldn’t even dare to get close to Bai Feng’s door.
Fortunately, the brave heroine finally took the plunge. Now the cats will have their treats!
“But you were still trying to run away just now, weren’t you? If I hadn’t stopped you, you’d probably be gone already,” Bai Feng added with a teasing tone.
Yu Yao’s face turned a little red again. She punched Bai Feng gently in the chest. “…Little junior brother, give your senior sister some face!”
“Enough of that,” she pushed away Bai Feng’s arm and slipped down from his leg. “I’ll handle the guard training. Rest assured, our little treasure vault won’t get harmed!”
“Then I’ll leave it to you, senior sister. If you lack personnel, just tell me—I can send some guards from the Bai Family.”
“Got it, got it!”
……
“The show’s starting.”
Tian Yan opened her golden eyes. She stepped out of the house, looking up at the sky still shrouded in night.
“Hmm?”
Bai Yu Mo slowly opened her eyes. She felt her Celestial Bone slightly tremble just now.
She remembered what Bai Feng had told her, so she got up, pushed open the door, and headed toward Bai Feng’s room.
“Has it started?”
Bai Feng woke from his dream, looked out the window, and his eyes flickered with black and white.
He saw what looked like clouds swirling in the distance, but if he stared more carefully, he’d realize there were no clouds at all—just an illusion.
At that moment, Bai Yu Mo pushed open his door and saw him awake. She spoke softly: “Brother, I just felt my Celestial Bone vibrate. Is the thing you mentioned about about to happen?”
“Should be soon.”
Bai Feng nodded, reaching for the outfit he needed to change. But he fumbled and grabbed nothing.
He instinctively turned his head and saw Bai Yu Mo holding his clothes: “Brother, let me help you change.”
“…You really shouldn’t do this right now.”
“It’ll be quick. Won’t take up much time!” Bai Yu Mo said, approaching with his clothes.
