I took my sister's feet in both hands
"I've told you to call me by my name . . . Well, whatever, it's not like you are going to change . "
I had told her many times, but she wouldn't listen .
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Jun Cheng . "
I nodded and started to walk again and Yu Hui followed me behind my side, like a shadow .
I didn't think I mention her just now . In fact, we checked out of the hospital together .
Under my firm requirement, Xue Qing regularly licked the wound on Yu Hui's back as well . Besides, she seemed to have her own way of healing . So her recovery came earlier than mine, but she remined in hospital… just to stay by my side .
After Xue Qing checked out, I was transferred to a single ward with the help of my dad and Yu Hui went to another single ward .
That being said, she would still hang around me most of the time .
She just didn't show herself intentionally in front of anyone . I didn't know how she hid herself and only showed herself and talked to me when there were only her and me .
Which felt like … a ninja who was guarding his master .
That was how obsessed Yu Hui was with me .
If what she got was also Chunibyo, I was afraid that the disease already attacked her vitals and she was beyond cure .
She was way too serious .
While she was around me and was protecting me, she also tried to avoid bringing me any trouble .
She wouldn't talk to me if I didn't speak to her .
But today, she looked like she had something to say .
I scratched my face, turned my head and asked .
"Hmmm, do you want to say something?"
Yu Hui paused and her face turned dark: "Forgive me if I offend you, but you talk to that woman again, didn't you, Lord Jun Cheng?"
"Well… are you talking about Lian Bing?" Since I woke up that morning, the only women I talked with were the nurse and Lian Bing . There was no way she was referring to the nurse . So it must have been Lian Bing .
"Yes . I wouldn't bother you about her during your stay in hospital since you couldn't get to where you want at your own . But after you go back to your normal life, don't you think it's better to stop seeing that woman?"
"Uh… where does that come from? She's my girlfriend…" Did she want me to break up with her? But we weren't in a fight or anything, there was no reason for me to break up with her . Though we were very different in terms of our status, but I had never seen that as a problem… I had always had an inexplicable confidence in us .

We could even get to the point where we met each other's parents .
M-hm… Seeing that I was not nervous at all, Yu Hui lay stress on the situation once more .
"That woman is not good for you . The more beautiful a thing is, the deadlier it is going to be . She seems harmless while in fact she's lethal . You should know that well by now . "
"Don't call her a thing… Well… she has changed a lot . Didn't you see that she had been good to me for the past month?" Before, I was afraid of her to death, but at the moment I didn't have that sense of fear at all, I even wanted to get closer to her… Was it her or me that changed?
Maybe both of us changed .
"But she is just pretending that . Her nature didn't change a bit . "
"…" Though I really wanted to refute, but I didn't know what to say, since what Yu Hui said was true .
Because I could see the title which represented her nature, I understood better .
She was still a "necrophilia homicidal maniac" .
"Well… even that, I can't abandon her first . As long as she doesn't intend to harm me, I won't break up with her . You know what I'm like since we have been friends since we were little . "
"…" Not talking to me anymore .
She seemed as if she still couldn't get over that .
I obviously hoped that she could get over me and live her own life… but nothing could change her obsession with me at all .
Then she wouldn't listen to what I have to say . I would just let her straighten up her thoughts .
I shrugged and resumed walking . Yu Hui was still following me half-heartedly . She was further back and now really became my shadow . At around eight, I arrived at my front door and stopped .
Yu Hui who was still thinking didn't notice that I had stopped and hit me on the back .
"I am so sorry . I was thinking just now…" She said, while I turned around and stroked her head .
"Do you want to come inside and have a rest? Xin Ran will be thrilled to see you . " At first, Yu Hui had been a childhood friend to Xin Ran and me so she had a good relationship with Xin Ran as well . But while in hospital, Yu Hui avoided my sisters, so she hadn't seen Xin Ran up till now .
However, Yu Hui shook her head and refused my invitation as I had expected .
"No, thank you . "
"Okay… well, I'll be going inside then?"
"All right…"

I waved to her and then opened the door and got into the house .
"I'm home . " It was quiet in the house . Was there nobody home?
Dad was still in the hospital, he helped me with the check-out . And mom… her shoes were in the shoe cabinet . She might still be sleeping . After all, it was Saturday, she could sleep in .
After the killer ghost incident, there was no more report on murder cases with dismembering . As expected, the murderers were those who possessed by ghosts .
With five killer ghosts dead at once, those who used the killer ghosts couldn't afford to act rashly any more . One misstep, they would draw fire on themselves .
The masses who had nothing to do with that incident didn't have to be scared when they went out in the middle of the night . However, for my mom, it meant an end of her working overtime .
In order to not disturb her dreams, I would try to make as little noise as possible… I walked upstairs without my slippers after I took off my shoes .
Suddenly a déjà vu hit me .
I remembered once I was hit and went off in a faint and it was late when I woke up .
That time, when I was home, I didn't wear my slippers in fear that I would wake my sisters .
Then I bumped into Xin Ran who was waiting for me on the second floor . Would she be waiting for me this time…? An intriguing feeling lingered in my heart, like I already knew what was about to happen and I went upstairs distracted .
But Xin Ran wasn't there .
"Ah ha ha…" Damn, what was I thinking about? Had I lost my mind? Taking déjà vu as a prophecy . That was Chunibyo enough .
"Gege?"
"Well?" A familiar voice reached me . From where? My back!
I turned around to find that voice immediately .
Xin Ran was sitting on the stairs to the attic . With her hand supporting her head, she looked at me quietly .
What… she was right there .
Why didn't she respond me just now? Did she not hear me?
"So you are home . " I pounded my chest and let out a breath, putting my shoulder bag on the ground and unzipping it . I spoke to her while I was taking out my toiletries .
"Why are you sitting there, Xin Ran? Are you waiting for me?" But I didn't say I would check out of the hospital today . Lian Bing knew that from the resourceful Miss Xue Li . But how did Xin Ran know about that?
"Yes . I'm waiting for the moment that Gege come home . I was waiting and waiting and then I was lost in my thought . Then I came back and found that you are in front of me… Gege, is this a dream?" Well, that was what happened . She didn't know specifically that I was coming home that day, but she was waiting for me like that each day .
The wait must have been long and there was no knowing whether she could wait for me to come home . Well, my sister was really… ah, I was going to cry since I was so touched .

"It's not a dream, I am right here . "
"Yes, it's not a dream… Then, though it's late, I have to say it… Welcome back, Gege . " "Yes, I'm back . " Her ice-cold face melted at once . With the corner of her mouth up 30 degrees, her warm smile was like the wind of spring stroking every inch of her skin .
Sure enough, my sister was the prettiest .
Girls of other families weren't as pretty as mine! No, they couldn't even compare to mine!
I wasn't a sister-con, but I couldn't help but like my sister .
If only she didn't do anything that exceeded what was proper, Xin Ran would be a model sister . . . Huh . . . come to think of it, where was the other cute sister?
"Right, where is Ke Ling? Is she out?" If Ke Ling was home and saw that I was back home, she would run to me and hug me as soon as she could . She would probably run into my embrace the moment I opened the front door .
But I still didn't see her while I was already on the second floor . There was only one reason that she didn't come to me . She was not home .
"She went out to see her friends . "
"Well . . . " That explained it . Ke Ling had a ton of friends at school . I felt sorry for her that she was home with me every weekend .
She was supposed to be the outgoing type of sister who enjoyed hanging out with her friends .
Hanging out with her friends should be the normal thing for her .
But, huh . . . I somehow felt a little lonely .
So that was the feeling if someone who was always there suddenly disappeared . . . Xin Ran noticed my look . She tilted her head and asked:
"Do you need me to call her back?"
"No . Since she's out with friends, we should leave her alone . I shouldn't bother everyone about me checking out of the hospital .
But if no one was there for me I would certainly feel lonely . Fortunately, I have you here with me .
Seeing you sitting in front of my bedroom waiting for me to come back is enough . "
After putting all the toiletries and towels into the bathroom, I had my shoulder bag on again while going upstairs and said to Xin Ran .
"Xin Ran, step aside . I want to go to my room . " The staircase at home wasn't wide enough for two people to pass side by side easily .
Xin Ran was sitting there with her arms and legs stretched out which made it difficult for me to pass .
"?"
"Let me pass . . . "
"Gege you can go upstairs if you want . "
"Well, you are on my way . How could I possibly go up?"
Xin Ran gave me a meaningful look, laughed and said:
"Then come on . "
"Em…" It looked like she wasn't going to make way for me .
But she seemed to be in quite a good mood to fool around with me .
I looked up at her . She was sitting at the top end of the staircase and looked down at me . She didn't have much expression as usual .
But she was different somehow .
The most obvious difference was what she was wearing .
She was wearing her signature black stockings .
It was already May and the weather started to get better . It was supposed to be hot to wear that kind of stockings . But she didn't seem to want to change them . She would usually take them off while she was home, but I didn't know why she didn't take them off today . And what she was wearing below the waist looked strange too .
She used to wear a pair of shorts at home but she was wearing a dress that almost covered her knees .
That obviously changed the atmosphere around her .
If the old Xin Ran was distant, now she felt deep and quiet, which added a bit of mystery to her .
Since I wasn't familiar with her in this kind of clothes, this strangeness was mystery to me .
Huh, let me learn about this sister of mine once more .
With that in my mind, I walked upstairs and in front of her .
What? With a closer look I found that the stockings that wrapped around her legs were a little different than usual .
Before, Xin Ran wore the kind of stockings that were not transparent at all, but today, she wore a pair of half-transparent stockings… Wrapped under the half-transparent stockings, Xin Ran's skin showed a mysterious color that made my heartbeat quicken .
What was wrong with me?
I couldn't control my eyes any more… A while ago, I kept looking at Lian Bing's chest, now I couldn't turn my eyes away from Xin Ran's feet! It was like I was bewitched, looking at those feet of hers and couldn't help but get closer .
Then I heard Xin Ran speaking by my ear:
"Gege, if you want to pass, carry me down first . " Then she dragged her dress, pressed her knees together, put her hands on her knees, her face closer to her hands and her legs dangled in the middle of the air .
