Chapter 372: Confession
Late at night, the bright moonlight was blocked by opaque curtains, as if the entire bedroom was enveloped in a soundproof spell.
Outside the bedroom, several sneaky figures gathered in the corridor.
“Hey, did you hear anything? Is there any movement?”
“No sound.”
“Keep it down; we don’t want to be overheard.”
“It seems useless; the bedroom seems to have a soundproof spell too…”
“What? Ugh, wasting my time…”
“Alright, let’s disperse; there’s no good show to watch now~”
“Sister Bai really set up a soundproof spell, huh? Are they having a wild time inside?”
“Yeah, who in their right mind sleeps with a soundproof spell in their bedroom? Do you do that?”
“I don’t.”
“What about you?”
“To be honest, I don’t have a soundproof spell yet… haha.”
“Do you think we should suddenly barge in and catch them cheating?”
“If you have two lives, you can try that~”
“Right~ At that time, the sisters will remember the contribution you’ve made through your sacrifice.”
At this moment, they were exchanging words, but eventually, all of them returned to their own bedrooms, feeling bored.
At this moment, in Bai Yu’s bedroom.
Two graceful figures lay on a bed, a large quilt tightly wrapping them together, the only melody here the uneven sound of their breathing.
I quietly lay on the left side, turned on my side, my smooth white hair casually spread out on the pillow. Looking at the back view in front of me, in the pitch-black night, all I felt was disappointment.
I gently raised my hand towards Sister Bai’s waist, and my whole body leaned against her.
At this moment, Bai Yu only felt the quilt shift slightly, and then she felt a hand crawling gently up her waist. Suddenly, she shivered, until two soft mounds pressed against her back. That figure hugged her in the night; from one side, she could hear the breathing sound more clearly, even the warm waves of breath echoed in her ears.
“Xiao Han…” Bai Yu called softly.
“Mm, can’t Sister Bai sleep?” I responded knowingly, quietly speaking.
“Yeah, with you like this, how can I sleep?” Bai Yu said with a wry smile.
“Then it means Sister Bai is flustered~” My grip tightened, and I hugged Sister Bai even more intimately. “If Sister Bai has no feelings for me… then you wouldn’t be losing sleep over this.”
“Xiao Han, you’re really getting more direct with your words…”
“Well, we’re sharing a bed now, so I think some things can be said openly, right, Sister Bai?”
“…”
“Alright then… but is it really the last night for Sister Bai, and you don’t even want to face me while sleeping?” Seeing that Sister Bai didn’t say anything, perhaps hesitating, I spoke for her.
“I… I’m afraid I can’t hold back.”
In the end, Bai Yu expressed her concerns.
“Can’t hold back? Why does Sister Bai need to endure? Or do you think I’m not worthy of you anymore…”
“No, Xiao Han, you will always be the only important one in my heart.”
“Me too~ So… Sister Bai, what exactly is the barrier between us? Is it the nightgown?”
“…” Bai Yu didn’t know either; perhaps she had never faced her own heart until she heard the sound of a zipper being pulled down behind her, which made her shiver. “It’s not the nightgown, Xiao Han.”
Bai Yu hurriedly turned around to face me, grabbing my hand and zipping up the cat-themed nightgown again.
“Hehe~ I knew it wasn’t the nightgown, but Sister Bai is finally willing to face me.” I said with a smile.
Although it was late at night and even the moonlight was obscured by the curtains, I could clearly see Bai Yu’s face in the darkness.
Although the situation had turned into a face-to-face encounter, for some reason, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
It seemed that only silence could describe the scene at that moment.
“Xiao Han, do you know what you’re doing?”
After a long time, Bai Yu sighed and took the initiative to speak.
“I know, I’m playing with fire~” I responded with a light laugh.
Then, I placed the hand that Bai Yu had previously let drop back on her waist, resting my head as if I wanted to snuggle into her embrace.
“Sister Bai is already an Extraordinary Witch~ Ten years of effort just for this moment to not be bound by the world anymore, so… why is Sister Bai still bound by her own thoughts? Everything should flow naturally… however, I feel like I’m not facing Sister Bai, but a block of wood.”
“I’m sorry, Xiao Han. My heart is really in a mess right now; I don’t know what to do…”
“Then just follow your instincts; will your body deceive you?”
“If I give up thinking and follow my instincts, will I still be me?”
“Um…” Hearing Bai Yu’s words made me pout in frustration, “What on earth are you thinking, Sister Bai? Do you want me to knock some sense into you so you can face me?”
Bai Yu was startled by my sudden outburst; she hadn’t expected Xiao Han to have this side.
“Hmph, since you want to ponder life, then let me help you!” At that moment, I was almost amused by Bai Yu’s foolishness, talking about feelings while mentioning this?
Does her love IQ fall short?
Should I cast the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell on you?
So you can really think about how foolish your hesitation is right now; if you understand, I won’t be this proactive later!
Such an idiot… I clearly said I wouldn’t take the initiative anymore.
But when faced with Sister Bai, those principles seemed as light as air…
Perhaps… Sister Bai might be more important than all that…
“Eh? Xiao Han?!”
“Sister Bai, don’t move!” I lifted my leg and stepped over Sister Bai, the next moment, I looked down at her from above.
“I’m giving you a blessing!”
I spoke softly, magic surged, and the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell activated!
The Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell is from the Great Spellbook; its effects last a long time. Even if not now, I would cast this spell on Sister Bai at some point because it’s too important for a person.
The enlightenment of wisdom might not instantly turn someone into an unparalleled genius, but it will subtly change a person’s way of thinking without being trapped in confusion…
This is the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.
Even if a person can only use it once, that one time benefits them for a lifetime.
This is also my gamble, I am betting on whether Sister Bai can come to understand.
I’m not even sure what Sister Bai’s final decision will be.
Because… it’s too fast, everything is too fast, fast enough that I haven’t had time to build enough connection with Sister Bai. After all, confession isn’t a call to charge forward; it’s a ceremony to announce victory.
Although from the very beginning, this was a situation where Sister Bai would win without a fight.
At this moment, I suddenly felt weak and fell onto Sister Bai; the magic required for the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell consumed too much. Unlike when I used it on those Fool Dreams, now I just want to give Sister Bai the best.
And those magic sources were not supported by the Earth Vein Shackles, but came from myself. The intense consumption of the magic source along with self-generated magic was drained clean; I felt an emptiness in my body.
At this moment, Sister Bai became my most comfortable duvet, soft and reassuring…
Until I heard the sound of thumping, it was Sister Bai’s heartbeat, as if it was telling me something, letting me drop the last bit of vigilance…
I don’t know how much time passed, maybe a moment, or perhaps an entire night, but I felt a familiar voice calling me.
“Xiao Han… Xiao Han… are you asleep…”
“Mm… no… not asleep yet… Sister Bai.” I stretched my hand to rub my eyes.
“Xiao Han… did you do something to me just now?”
“I gave Sister Bai a blessing to like me~”
“So that’s it… I really can’t help it… Xiao Han… I found that I really like you…”
“Mmhm… huh?!” I made a few light sounds, suddenly realizing!
“Wait! What did you just say, Sister Bai?” I immediately raised my head to look at Bai Yu beneath me, and I suddenly realized…
“I said… Xiao Han, I hope you will be my girlfriend, okay? I will treat you well.”
“Be… be my girlfriend! Really? Am I dreaming?!” At this moment, I was so excited that I could hardly express my feelings in words!
I’ve been confessed to!
Sister Bai confessed to me!
“Mm.” At this moment, Sister Bai reached out and pinched my cheek.
“Uh… it hurts… it’s really not a dream!” I reached out to press on the back of Sister Bai’s hand and rubbed my cheek.
“So… Xiao Han, your response is…”
“I am willing! I am willing!”
As soon as my willing voice echoed in Bai Yu’s ears, she could no longer suppress her feelings, reaching out to wrap around the back of my neck while her other hand tightly embraced my waist. Then I felt a warmth on my lips… the warm waves of breath fell upon my face.
Sister Bai’s hand gently ran through my silver-white hair, caressing the back of my neck, as if she wanted to hold on like this indefinitely.
Such a strong-willed Sister Bai… I like it so much…
In this moment, two figures intertwined on the bed, as if no matter the gossip outside, it couldn’t disturb this purity…
Everything around seemed to freeze at this moment, with only two passionate hearts and their hurried breaths and heartbeats intertwining, creating the most wonderful melody in the quiet night.
……
Morning.
“It’s all your fault, Sister Bai; I almost couldn’t get out of bed today, just like you said.”
I looked at Bai Yu in front of me, feigning anger.
Slap~
With a light sound, the leg ring that Sister Bai hooked with her finger made a ringing sound on my thigh.
“I helped you put it on~” Sister Bai smiled, as if she didn’t care about my complaints at all.
“Mm.”
I bit my lip lightly and reached out to test the tightness of the leg ring; although it felt tight, it was bearable, after all, that feeling of being restrained was the best.
As expected, Sister Bai knows best about leg rings~
“Mm, just right; I won’t hold last night’s incident against Sister Bai.” I held onto the edge of the bed and slowly stood up. Though it was morning, I felt invigorated, and my mood was very joyful.
As for what happened in the latter half of the night, that had to be kept in my heart.
“Let’s go, Xiao Han~ I’ll take you to breakfast.” Sister Bai smiled and reached out to me.
I took her hand without hesitation. After a simple wash, I felt revitalized, my fatigue completely swept away.
Just after Bai Yu and I finished washing, several doors in the guest room hallway were secretly opened, and heads popped out.
“Didn’t notice us? They’re already going out this early?”
“Wow… Sister Bai was so fierce yesterday… did they have to support the freshman out this morning?”
“I told you~ they definitely did something unmentionable last night!”
“This kind of thing is addictive; I wonder how Sister Bai will handle it in the future.”
“Sigh~ Ultimately, we are not from the same world as Sister Bai, but does anyone know the contact information of that freshman? I want to help Sister Bai take care of her little junior after she leaves.”
“I don’t know; do you guys know what grade she’s in? That White-haired girl shouldn’t be too hard to recognize; what was her name again?”
“Sister Bai calls her Xiao Han; that name sounds a bit familiar…”
“Catastrophe Witch Xiao Han, you must be talking about her.”
“But this Xiao Han is clearly not that one; even if she’s a new student, we might not be able to mess with her…”
At this moment.
Sister Bai brought me to the academy’s cafeteria, where the breakfast is most complete and delicious, naturally.
Sister Bai didn’t take a broom to bring me; the reason… is better left unsaid.
We chose to take a ride there, and just like that, we swayed our way over, indeed a different flavor altogether.
After all, it was Sister Bai who first familiarized me with riding, but unfortunately, since I got my flight license, I rarely rode anymore.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Sister Bai ordered me quite a lot for breakfast.
“Alright, alright, Sister Bai, I can’t eat that much.”
“It’s okay to have something good; consider it replenishing your body.”
“I’m not at that point where I need to replenish my body, am I? I’m self-awakened, and I know very well how my body is!”
“Okay, okay~ Then just enjoy a good meal today.” Persuaded by Sister Bai, we found a less crowded spot to sit down.
The breakfast was quite substantial, with a small bowl of thick white congee with lean meat; the meat was also that precious cultivated extraordinary beast. Just from this small bowl of congee, one could see that some people promote to extraordinary upon graduation, while others raise extraordinary beasts to sit at the dining table… it’s truly poignant.
There were also other items, like fried eggs, dried meat slices, bread, salad, and a little dessert after the meal.
At this moment, we tacitly avoided bringing up topics of parting; we simply relished the warmth of the moment.
Until suddenly, a figure appeared behind Sister Bai.
I narrowed my eyes, gazing at the unfamiliar figure.
The other party seemed a little surprised, as if astonished that I could see her, but that surprise soon dissipated.
She quietly stood at the back, waiting until our breakfast was nearly over.
As I set down my little dessert spoon, that figure moved.
She slowly approached without drawing anyone’s attention, as if she didn’t exist here.
At this moment, Bai Yu noticed my abnormality and followed my gaze back. When she turned back, a hint of disappointment surfaced on her face.
“I’m sorry, Xiao Han; I might have to leave.”
“It’s okay; Sister Bai, hurry and go~ I have no regrets now~” I waved my hand with a smile. At that instant, I was certain that figure was the Primordial Witch’s… clone.
Just when Bai Yu and I thought this was all a farewell, that figure suddenly spoke.
“Xiao Han… you’re Yang Yuelan, right?”
“Yes…” I replied faintly.
For some reason, I knew I was facing the Primordial Witch, but it felt like I was meeting an ordinary person without any tension, even sensing some warmth.
“That’s interesting; keep it up; I believe in you.” The Primordial Witch gently patted my head, and in the next moment, her figure disappeared, taking Bai Yu along with her.
It felt like a dream, with only the utensils downstairs as proof that Sister Bai had accompanied me for breakfast here.
I stood up to tidy the utensils and walked towards the tray collection area, murmuring.
“Really, Sister Bai, after eating, you still make me clean up… what a hopeless… hum~”
