Chapter 117: That’s Too Unfair!

Description

“Hey hey, Luozi.”

“Pay attention to me, pay attention to me.”

No matter how hard something was, facing this little loli it would always soften.

Who told her body to be soft?

A statue, sure, but so what if it was a statue? It didn’t matter how hard it was.

Bai Ziyu tilted her head.

Luo Yunzhi still didn’t answer; she really was like a statue.

And the reason was simple.

Blinking her eyes, Bai Ziyu giggled, seeming to have cooked up some bad idea; she burrowed into the covers and pressed even closer to the girl.

Luo Yunzhi’s expression changed slightly, her face changing as well.

“Xiao… Xiao…?”

“What’s wrong?”

“You like this…”

“Hmph, like what?”

She lifted her little head.

The little loli stared at the other’s face, full of innocence, easily making pity rise in a person’s heart.

But at this moment Luo Yunzhi didn’t have that kind of leisure.

She slightly held her breath; her heart went thump-thump, seeming about to leap right out.

She could feel the faintly scorching breath coming from Bai Ziyu.

The breath hitting her neck also brought a slight itch.

The girl clenched her teeth, her cheeks flushing red.

“Don’t… don’t be like this.”

Luo Yunzhi spoke, already able to feel what embarrassment was like, because that was exactly how it was right now.

Bai Ziyu actually hadn’t done anything; she had merely cheerfully pressed closer and wrapped both arms around the other’s waist.

Yet the girl could clearly feel that, because of the close distance, the little loli’s chest was pressed against her own chest, so soft it seemed about to melt.

Her breathing was hurried; she nearly lacked oxygen.

“Hey hey, what’s wrong with you?”

Although it was dark, the kitten Bai Ziyu could still see clearly.

“Your cheeks look so red. Are you running a fever, or… mm, could it be you feel too hot?”

She was a little puzzled and asked softly there.

After all, the two of them were pressed closer than usual.

But the little loli didn’t have any particularly strong feeling about it.

It was just a hug; what did that count as?

“Hey, watch with me~”

In order to have company—watching a ghost movie was only fun when someone watched at the same time—Bai Ziyu even started acting spoiled for it.

She blinked those eyes like glazed glass, seeming very excited.

“If it’s only me, then watching a ghost movie is too boring. If I didn’t have you, this coward… uh, a brave person like you, it would definitely be a hundred times worse; you’re simply my savior.”

Bai Ziyu was cheering, her eyes very bright.

In the end everyone knew that the most interesting part of watching a ghost movie was of course watching it with a friend who was afraid of ghosts; the other’s reactions were more fun than the ghost movie itself.

Bai Ziyu thought wickedly and even discarded a bit of her principles for it, pretending to be a little child and starting to act cute and plead there.

Anyone in this position would have agreed.

“…Am I that detestable?”

“Xiao… I…”

“Luo-jie~”

“De-detestable.”

“No.”

Seeming afraid of misunderstanding, Luo Yunzhi hurriedly shook her head.

Only even the tip of her nose seemed to carry warmth, as if she might get a nosebleed at any moment.

The little loli was of course detestable… detestable to the point of being far too unfair, actually this cute.

“I-I actually meant…”

“Don’t explain.”

Suddenly, Bai Ziyu’s expression began to turn aggrieved.

“I get it, jie. You’ve started to dislike me.”

“Wuwuwuwu.”

“I haven’t.”

“Then watch the ghost movie with me.”

“Fine, fine.”

“Yay!”

Bai Ziyu instantly became happy, showing a smile that was worlds apart from the aggrieved look just now; it would be a pity if she didn’t become an actress.

Although it was in the dark, Luo Yunzhi seemed able to feel the other’s delight.

She shook her head, unable to help feeling helpless.

Even though she had known from beginning to end that it was an act, she simply had no way to say harsh words to a loli; it seemed that would be very heart-wrenching.

She was probably spoiling her too much.

There was nothing she could do.

“Alright, starting playback.”

Bai Ziyu let go, rolled to the side, propped up the phone, and pressed the play button on the movie channel.

Accompanied by music rising and the picture changing, first came various company sponsors.

The little loli was bored; her personality could never stay still, so she kicked her legs there, making the entire bed board produce thump-thump-thump sounds.

Fortunately the room’s soundproofing was still pretty good; they wouldn’t disturb others and get warned.

As for Luo Yunzhi, who was also on the bed, she stared blankly at the phone screen, her thoughts still recalling the sensation she had gotten not long ago.

She couldn’t help feeling a little regretful… if she had known, she wouldn’t have agreed so early.

This little loli turned her face and refused to acknowledge people; after getting agreement she ran off.

The girl swallowed.

Although she hadn’t touched with her hands, the feeling brought by her own chest pressing against the other was a completely different kind.

She was like the “big bad wolf” wanting to eat the “little lamb.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“What a pity.”

“It’s fine.”

Luo Yunzhi sighed.

She was also foolish; just now had been such a good opportunity, she might have been able to touch a little more.

After all, the other was asking her for something, so she could have pretended it was an accident; even if she brushed against her, the other wouldn’t have minded.

She didn’t know if there would still be a chance.

Her thoughts returned at this point.

After that kind of encounter just now, she was now so excited she couldn’t sleep at all.

She had no choice but to turn her eyes and look at the phone.

“This ghost movie… what is it?”

“It’s The Ring.”

“I-is it?”

“Of course it is.”

Bai Ziyu knew Luo Yunzhi was only asking casually, but because she was bored she still launched into an endless explanation.

“This story is about a cursed videotape that brings death cases, plus a curse… or whatever; anyway it’s said to be very scary.”

The little loli actually hadn’t watched it, but she had heard it was frightening, so of course she had to sample it.

She stretched out her small hand; her idea was of course simple—she grabbed Luo Yunzhi’s wrist to prevent escape.

The corners of Luo Yunzhi’s mouth couldn’t help twitching.

What use was this capture?

She could easily break free and flee in panic.

But if she ran away like that it would be too embarrassing; she would have no face to see the little loli afterward.

She shook her head.

“I couldn’t possibly be afraid of this.”

“Huh? Really?”

Bai Ziyu expressed doubt, looked at the girl, and found the other was very calm.

“Wow, could it be you’re really not afraid?”

“I’m very brave.”

Even if it was an act, she had to act brave.

“A mere ghost movie—I stopped being afraid when I was three.”

“I-is that so.”

Of course Bai Ziyu wouldn’t believe it.

She thought for a moment and had a bad idea.

“Then you watch first. I’ll go outside for some air and come back in a bit~”
