Villainous Malevolent Ghost (6)
Song Xuyi woke up and it was already the second day.
Her sleep was extremely sweet, and the moment she woke up, she became instantly clear-headed, her eyes subconsciously starting to look around:
The room door was tightly closed, the curtains had already been pulled up, and the sound of travelers walking came from outside the door. Everything seemed to look normal.
However, in Song Xuyi’s mind, the scene from last night involuntarily floated up—why did Bai Yu appear in her room?
However, Song Xuyi looked around but did not find any trace of Bai Yu.
“System, what happened later last night?” Song Xuyi was not in a hurry to get up and wash, she asked the system as usual.
The system’s voice sounded somewhat exaggeratedly confused: “What happened last night? Nothing happened at all?”
Song Xuyi was stunned, her hand paused while brushing her teeth: nothing happened?
“Just a group of people clamoring to break into my room, then later Bai Yu appeared, and then I fainted,” Song Xuyi tried to remind the system: “Don’t you remember?”
“Did such a thing happen?” The system raised its voice: “Xuyi, could it be that the pressure from your recent exams is too much, causing hallucinations? Last night, after you fell asleep, it was extremely quiet, nothing happened at all!”
Is it this way?
Song Xuyi blinked, as everything she experienced last night vividly appeared in her mind and seemed extremely real. Song Xuyi did not feel it was a dream. However, the system had no reason to deceive her…
Could it be that everything was really just a dream?
“Xuyi, don’t think about these things first,” the system, with a complex expression, looked in the direction where the bad woman had disappeared, while internally blaming itself and telling Song Xuyi according to the bad woman’s threat: “You should prepare well for the two exams, and after they are over, take a good rest. You’ve been really too tired during this period…”
Song Xuyi took a deep breath and splashed some cold water on her face: she had already prepared for the exam for so long, and nothing else was as important as the exam.
Thinking this way, Song Xuyi calmed her mind, no longer discussing this matter, and began to fully prepare for the exams.
Time passed quickly.
Song Xuyi reviewed with extreme seriousness, and the exam questions this time were all those she had reviewed before. The more Song Xuyi worked on them, the smoother she felt, and her confidence grew.
With the sound of the exam’s end bell, Song Xuyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost immediately after finishing the exam, Song Xuyi’s phone rang, and she received a call from Xia Tian: to celebrate Song Xuyi finishing her exams, Xia Tian had already booked a room in a nearby city and planned a three-day short trip with a group of people.
The nearby city is a famous tourist attraction, with beautiful scenery by the mountains and water. Song Xuyi, thinking about the system’s mention that her stress had caused dreams and hallucinations, also planned to take a good rest and relax, thus agreeing to Xia Tian’s arrangement.
Song Xuyi returned to the hotel to pack her luggage and took a look around. The construction site behind the room was still sealed off, and her room door showed no signs of being tampered with. Both the front desk and the cleaning staff said nothing unusual happened the previous night…
Perhaps everything was really just a dream, and Bai Yu hadn’t come.
Thinking of Bai Yu, Song Xuyi subconsciously looked at the bead on her wrist that was glowing red. She wasn’t sure if it was her illusion, but Song Xuyi felt the bead looked increasingly transparent and beautiful.
Xia Tian had already bought tickets for the 9 PM flight.
Song Xuyi returned to the dormitory to meet Xia Tian first, considering that after graduation everyone would go their separate ways. Xia Tian also invited the other two roommates and their boyfriends.
Song Xuyi quickly packed her luggage. She had very few items compared to the other three girls’ big and small bags of clothes. Including a professional book, Song Xuyi only had a small suitcase. Even though she was the last to return, Song Xuyi was the first to finish packing.
After packing, the group left the dormitory. The boys were already waiting outside. Song Xuyi originally thought that the only males in the group were the boyfriends of the other three, but unexpectedly, there was an extra boy.
The boy was considered handsome, but his eyes were unstable, and he looked at people with an arrogant and self-confident manner, inexplicably causing dislike.
“This is my buddy Huang Feng; we ate together before.” Song Xuyi’s roommate Xu Juan’s boyfriend awkwardly introduced: “Huang Feng bought his own flight ticket. He’s been bored these days and thought about joining us for the outing.”
When Xu Juan and her boyfriend confirmed their relationship, they invited the entire dormitory for a meal. At that time, Huang Feng was indeed at the table, but clearly, no one expected Xu Juan’s boyfriend to invite Huang Feng on such an occasion, not even Xu Juan, who looked at her boyfriend with a shocked expression.
However, since Huang Feng had already joined, it was naturally difficult to exclude him, so Xia Tian, who organized the trip, could only force a smile and say “welcome.”
Song Xuyi originally thought she would never see Huang Feng again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, Huang Feng had the audacity to show up in front of her.
Even though she felt a bit unhappy inside, Song Xuyi maintained her composure: after all, the scenic area wasn’t owned by her, and if Huang Feng wanted to join, she could only let him, as long as he didn’t bother her.
However, Song Xuyi underestimated Huang Feng’s shamelessness. When everyone accepted Huang Feng’s presence and began to call taxis, Huang Feng naturally approached Song Xuyi: he initially wanted to offer to carry Song Xuyi’s luggage, but she only had a small suitcase, so Huang Feng could only stand in front of Song Xuyi, gazing frivolously up and down at her: “Long time no see, Xuyi looks even more beautiful.”
Being stared at by Huang Feng’s greasy gaze, Song Xuyi felt a wave of nausea and didn’t want to respond to him. Just then, the driver called, so Song Xuyi pretended not to hear Huang Feng’s words and took the call to locate the vehicle.
With eight people, two cars were just right. Song Xuyi sat in the back seat, leaving a space next to her for Xia Tian.
Seeing the empty space next to Song Xuyi, Huang Feng, who was sitting in another car, brightened up and got out, striding towards them…
Noticing Huang Feng’s actions, Song Xuyi unconsciously furrowed her brows and loudly called out to Xia Tian, who was loading luggage, to get in the car.
Song Xuyi intended to remind Huang Feng that the seat was taken, but Huang Feng clearly didn’t know when to stop and seemed not to hear Song Xuyi calling for Xia Tian, as he didn’t stop his approach—
It seems even the heavens couldn’t stand Huang Feng’s behavior, as he suddenly stumbled while walking…
Huang Feng fell on the flat ground, and it seemed like he didn’t fall lightly, as he didn’t get up for a long time.
“Serves him right!”
The system inside Song Xuyi’s mind couldn’t help but laugh, and at this moment, Xia Tian finally finished loading the luggage, closed the back car door, and sat down next to Song Xuyi.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Song Xuyi breathed a sigh of relief, as she had roughly guessed Huang Feng’s intentions, but she was truly disgusted by such a clingy man.
Before long, the group arrived at the airport.
Once they reached the waiting area, Huang Feng started causing trouble again, ignoring Song Xuyi’s furrowed brows, he sat next to her and began to fawn: “Xuyi, I heard daughters of rich families always travel first class, so you also fly business class, huh?”
“Xuyi, your skin is so good, how do you rich people maintain your skin, huh?”
……
“I heard your Song family is a famous long-life family. Do you have any secrets for prolonging life?”
“There is!”
Song Xuyi, who hadn’t paid much attention to Huang Feng before, suddenly spoke upon hearing this.
Huang Feng’s eyes brightened, thinking Song Xuyi was finally moved by him, and quickly squeezed out a smile to ask: “Can you tell me exactly what the method is? Let me learn something new?”
“My great-grandfather lived to be one hundred years old,” Song Xuyi said with a stern face, looking expressionlessly at Huang Feng: “His secret is to never be noisy!”
……
Huang Feng’s face turned a mix of green and white for a moment.
It was the first time the system saw Song Xuyi retort someone like that, and it widened its eyes in surprise in Song Xuyi’s mind.
Song Xuyi did not regret retorting him at all, puffing her cheeks in anger, she put on her earphones, took out a professional book, and began reading. She wasn’t sure if it was her illusion, but before the music played in the earphones, there seemed to be a very happy light laugh in the air…
Song Xuyi originally thought she had made her dislike very clear, but she still underestimated Huang Feng’s thick skin. After boarding the plane, Huang Feng actually came over to try and exchange seats with Xia Tian next to Song Xuyi.
Xia Tian didn’t like Huang Feng’s behavior and refused him decisively with the excuse that ‘the sisters needed to talk in whispers.’ Huang Feng then asked the people in the back row, Bai Jin and another roommate, but under Xia Tian’s signaling eyes, no one exchanged seats with Huang Feng, so he had to dejectedly return to his own seat.
After Huang Feng left unwillingly, Xia Tian leaned over to Song Xuyi’s ear with disdain: “He’s so disgusting, Xuyi. If you ever end up with him, I won’t let you off…”
Song Xuyi turned her head and looked at her expressionlessly.
Seeing Song Xuyi’s expression, Xia Tian laughed first: ‘I know, you definitely don’t approve of his behavior…’
“Sigh!” Xia Tian couldn’t help but start sighing: “The remaining three of us are all paired up, and you’re the only one still single. Tell me what kind of person you like so I can find someone for you according to your standards…”
The bead on Song Xuyi’s wrist faintly flashed, but neither of the girls noticed.
Song Xuyi hadn’t thought about this problem because the system had a rule: “In the small world, you cannot fall in love.” However, with Xia Tian sincerely pressing the question, Song Xuyi felt compelled to answer—
“Actually, I’ve always focused on my studies and haven’t thought about this matter,” seeing Xia Tian’s face full of disbelief, Song Xuyi pondered and then added: “If I must set a standard…”
“I like someone good-looking, the better-looking the better, with a good personality, obedient, and well-behaved…”
The more Xia Tian pursed her lips, the more she listened, the tighter her brows furrowed: “This standard is somewhat high, I’ll try my best to keep an eye out for you…”
“But my Xuyi indeed deserves the best person!”
Xia Tian began to rack her brains to think of anyone she knew who met these criteria.
Seeing Xia Tian finally quiet down, Song Xuyi sighed with relief. To prevent Xia Tian from asking again later, Song Xuyi put on an eye mask and began to nap…
At 10:30 PM, Song Xuyi was woken by Xia Tian, and the group had already arrived in Lin City.
Xia Tian had booked a hotel right near the airport.
Originally, Xia Tian booked four double rooms; the other three people shared one with their boyfriends, and Song Xuyi had one alone. However, with the extra presence of Huang Feng, Xu Juan was a bit angry that her boyfriend brought Huang Feng without asking, so they decided to let her boyfriend and Huang Feng share one room, while she and Song Xuyi shared another room.
Song Xuyi had a good night’s sleep the previous day and caught up on sleep on the plane, so she wasn’t sleepy that night. On a whim, she decided to relax and watch a movie to pass the time.
However, the original owner was focused on studies and not good at entertainment, and after coming to this world, Song Xuyi also focused on reviewing, having no idea what good movies there were in this world—
Song Xuyi then asked Xu Juan.
Xu Juan was a heavy otaku, wearing earphones and watching anime on a tablet at that moment. Upon hearing Song Xuyi’s question, she yawned and simply handed the tablet to Song Xuyi: “You can use my tablet to watch! I have a habit of downloading my favorite movies to my computer to repeatedly revisit, sorted into different folders, the passwords are all…”
After Xu Juan finished speaking, she yawned again and sleepily closed her eyes.
Seeing Xu Juan’s sleepy appearance, Song Xuyi took the tablet and turned off the room’s light.
The room became extremely quiet for a moment, making it a perfect time to watch a movie. Xu Juan’s tablet indeed had many folders, but the names left Song Xuyi somewhat confused, like “Ah Ah Ah! Really got it”, “Scared me, what’s good for you”, “Twisted my waist”, “My tears aren’t worth money”…
Finally, Song Xuyi chose one that seemed a bit more normal, the “Precious Big Orange” folder.
Inside this folder, there was only one film, suggesting that this type of movie was relatively rare.
The movie’s name was “Orange”.
“It should be a movie about petting cats,” Song Xuyi decided to watch this movie, put on her earphones, and with a hint of regret, chatted with the system: “Actually, the big orange cat isn’t as cute as you, it’s just that you’re a bit stingy, never letting me pet you a bit longer in the system space…”
The system coldly replied with a “hmph,” thinking that Song Xuyi watching other cats made it somewhat jealous, and considering that with that bad woman guarding nearby, Xuyi wouldn’t encounter any danger, it simply decided to self-block and began to hibernate.
Song Xuyi did not notice the system’s unusual silence and clicked to start the film.
The movie began with the appearance of an orange cat.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
The orange cat jumped down from the window and ran into the newly moved-in neighbor’s house, where a little girl named Tao Jun went next door to find her cat and saw a pretty young lady stroking her orange cat.
Because of this orange cat, the two got to know each other and became friends.
It was at this moment that Song Xuyi realized she had misunderstood the movie; it wasn’t about the orange cat, because the neighbor’s young lady’s name was “Gu Ju,” and it was actually a movie about a girl named Gu Ju.
Gu Ju took great care of Tao Jun. She was a year older than Tao Jun, had excellent grades, always helped Tao Jun with tutoring, and brought her all kinds of delicious food. In the aristocratic school where talents emerged, Gu Ju was the most dazzling among them.
However, good times didn’t last long. Gu Ju’s family encountered misfortune; her parents both died, and relatives seized the family’s property but no one was willing to adopt Gu Ju. Tao Jun pleaded with her parents to adopt Gu Ju, so Gu Ju became Tao Jun’s nominal sister.
During this time, Tao Jun developed a crush on a boy, and she confided all her thoughts to her most trusted Gu Ju. But unexpectedly, a few days later, Tao Jun saw the boy and Gu Ju walking together, with him attentively serving food to Gu Ju.
Tao Jun explained Gu Ju’s hypocrisy to her parents, but they did not believe her and even thought that Tao Jun was jealous of Gu Ju for taking away their love, thus framing Gu Ju.
Tao Jun was almost furious to death.
She wanted to escape the environment with Gu Ju, so after graduating from the college entrance exam, she directly went abroad to study art…
Because of Gu Ju’s disruptions over those years, Tao Jun subconsciously lost interest in love and focused solely on painting, achieving considerable success. Gradually, excellent men began to pursue Tao Jun.
At this time, Tao Jun received an invitation from a well-known institution proposing to hold a personal art exhibition for her, and Tao Jun decided to return home to develop her career…
Song Xuyi watched up to this point and began to feel a little sleepy. Although the movie’s art style was excellent and the main characters were pleasing to the eye, Song Xuyi was watching with the intention of relaxing and was not very interested in the melodramatic entanglements of the two female protagonists—
At this moment, the plot suddenly changed, and Song Xuyi glanced, almost dropping the tablet!
One day, upon waking up, Tao Jun found herself tied in a dark place, forced by a woman to have a relationship in the darkness…
This segment was filmed extremely beautifully by the director, and Song Xuyi’s earphones were of such good quality that the breathing sounds seemed right at her ear—
Seeing this part, Song Xuyi suddenly dropped the tablet and covered her blushing face.
Song Xuyi finally understood what “Precious Big Orange” really meant — a movie where both female protagonists are pleasing to the eye is indeed rare!
After a long time, Song Xuyi managed to calm her heartbeat, looked at Xu Juan sleeping soundly beside her, guiltily snuck under the blanket, lacking the courage to continue watching, and searched for the movie’s reviews…
The review section always contains spoilers, and Song Xuyi quickly found what she wanted to see: as expected, the latter half of the movie mostly depicted Gu Ju’s forceful possession of Tao Jun and various occasions of…, Song Xuyi read the detailed descriptions in the reviews, feeling both excited and nervously with her heart pounding, and finally found the drama’s ending — Tao Jun eventually accepted Gu Ju’s overwhelming love, and the two donned wedding dresses and walked into the hall of marriage.
After watching, Song Xuyi felt her back was covered in sweat.
She guiltily deleted the viewing history and opened another movie to play…
Her previous sleepiness completely vanished, and Song Xuyi inexplicably felt a restlessness in her body, got up to drink a bottle of water, but still found no relief; she wanted the system to play the 《Heart Sutra》 for her, but unexpectedly, the system had already blocked her…
Seeing the clock had reached two o’clock, Song Xuyi accepted her fate, thinking she might not sleep all night, just as she was about to get up to read, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and collapsed onto the pillow…
A shadow of a person appeared out of thin air, standing at the foot of Song Xuyi’s bed.
Song Xuyi accepted the reality of her insomnia that night, but seeing that Song Xuyi had a “climbing” schedule the next day, Bai Yu didn’t want Song Xuyi to stay up too late, using a little means to let Song Xuyi fall asleep.
Bai Yu carefully covered Song Xuyi with the blanket, her gaze falling on Song Xuyi’s tablet.
Xuyi was always calm, so what made her so flustered?
Bai Yu slightly furrowed her brow, picked up the tablet beside Song Xuyi’s pillow, and forcibly awakened the system that was in a blocked state in Song Xuyi’s mind.
Bai Yu had also heard Xu Juan’s words and had become accustomed to modern devices during this time, but she didn’t know exactly which file Song Xuyi had watched.
Bai Yu couldn’t understand the system’s words, but she could force the system to gesture with its paw.
The forcibly awakened system dared to be angry but not to speak, and humiliatingly used its paw to point at the “Precious Big Orange” folder.
With a furrowed brow, Bai Yu clicked into the film.
The system didn’t know what had happened and had no mind to hibernate again, so it sat upright, observing the villain watching the movie. The more it watched, the more it felt heartache: this bad woman was getting more and more excessive, her possessiveness becoming terrifyingly apparent, even not sparing the movie Xuyi watched…
Bai Yu did not know the system’s thoughts.
The more Bai Yu watched, the more she felt the two people in the plot were foolish, but wanting to find the reason for Song Xuyi’s loss of composure, she still patiently continued watching.
Until she saw Gu Ju lock up Tao Jun…
In the system’s view: that bad woman suddenly blushed, unsettled, and put down the tablet, disappearing into the middle of Song Xuyi’s wrist.
What happened?
The system scratched its head, somewhat confused.
Clearly, Bai Yu no longer had a heartbeat, yet she felt her heart ‘thumping’ in place, her throat inexplicably dry, her mind repeatedly replaying the segment she had just seen.
Even though it was just a moment, Bai Yu knew what those two were doing.
She now only had memories of being sixteen years old, and in her memory, she had always diligently practiced metaphysics, vaguely understanding the matters between men and women, yet she hadn’t expected that between women it could also…
Bai Yu bit her lower lip tightly.
This time, she was awakened by the blood in the curse stone on Song Xuyi’s wrist, that night accidentally establishing a symbiotic relationship with Song Xuyi.
At first, her heart was filled with extreme guilt, not knowing how to appear before Song Xuyi to explain all this, since forming a symbiotic relationship would mean Song Xuyi would be coveted by countless evil spirits.
However, Bai Yu also hadn’t expected that Song Xuyi would participate in the creation of ritual items for the Bai family ancestral hall.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
In the guardian spirit’s formation, if someone from outside the Bai family participates in the ritual, they will be completely obliterated by the rules. However, because Song Xuyi already had a symbiotic relationship with Bai Yu, the rules hesitated, and the choice fell to Bai Yu: if Bai Yu accepted Song Xuyi as her bride, the rules would spare Song Xuyi.
Bai Yu had no choice.
She hid some things from Song Xuyi — that night, she kissed Song Xuyi partly due to instinct and partly by intention: the rules determine if an outsider can become a member of the Bai family by whether the outsider had an intimate relationship with a Bai family member. To save Song Xuyi’s life, Bai Yu could only kiss Song Xuyi: in her understanding, this was the most intimate act two girls could perform.
In Bai Yu’s conservative and formal education, there had never been any teaching that a woman could become another woman’s bride, and Bai Yu was also ashamed to let Song Xuyi know this. Nevertheless, through a mistake, Bai Yu already had the ability to follow Song Xuyi out of the old house and secretly protect her, so Bai Yu decided to keep this matter hidden.
If it could be said that Bai Yu initially protected Song Xuyi merely out of duty, then when she watched Song Xuyi draw shoes for her, Bai Yu’s heart spontaneously developed an impulse: wanting to protect this kind girl, not allowing her to be disturbed by evil spirits, wishing her a lifetime of peace and prosperity.
Bai Yu followed Song Xuyi out of the old house.
She stayed by Song Xuyi’s side, increasingly finding this girl adorable: Xuyi was kind-hearted yet principled, doing things with full dedication and meticulousness, her eyes seemed to hide a warm sun, always full of vitality…
Bai Yu found herself gazing more and more at Song Xuyi, thinking it was out of gratitude, yet her increasingly fast-beating heart made Bai Yu question herself: is all this truly out of gratitude?
Xuyi is already her bride, and between two girls, it can also be…
Realizing what she was thinking, Bai Yu pressed her lips tightly and suddenly shrank deeper into the bead—
She cannot think any further!
As a mere struggling vengeful spirit, how could she dare to think of defiling the world’s most brilliant pearl?
