Villainous Malevolent Ghost (14)

The next morning, Song Xu Yi unusually stayed in bed for a while.

She knew she should get up on time, but the dream last night was too embarrassing. Song Xu Yi didn’t know how to face Bai Yu, so she curled up in her bed like an ostrich for about half an hour before getting up.

Strangely, during this time, Bai Yu, the housekeeper, didn’t come to call her even though she knew Song Xu Yi was still in bed.

After Song Xu Yi finished washing up and finally mustered up the courage to leave her room, she saw Bai Yu sitting on the sofa, constantly staring at a mirror with a slightly furrowed brow.

“What’s wrong?” Song Xu Yi looked at the table, where Bai Yu had already prepared breakfast as usual. Song Xu Yi picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, pretending not to notice anything and asked.

“I think I’ve become ugly…” Bai Yu put down the mirror, and the wrinkles on her brow deepened for a moment. She looked at Song Xu Yi seriously and pressed her lips together: “And I’ve gotten old.”

Bai Yu emphasized the word ‘old,’ but Song Xu Yi didn’t seem to notice.

Song Xu Yi was stunned by Bai Yu’s words and choked on her water. She stared at Bai Yu with widened eyes:

Has the anxiety about appearance spread to Bai Yu as well these days?!

What’s even more frightening is that Bai Yu actually thinks she has become ugly and old–

“How could you think like that?” After Bai Yu waved her hand, Song Xu Yi’s throat obstruction disappeared instantly. She couldn’t help but speak: “If you were ugly, then there would be no one in the world who looks good!”

Song Xu Yi believed that her compliments to Bai Yu were sincere, but for some reason, Bai Yu didn’t seem comforted by her words. While Song Xu Yi was eating, Bai Yu kept looking at herself in the mirror from time to time.

After careful consideration, Song Xu Yi realized that it was because Bai Yu had been staying at home for too long.

Being cooped up at home for too long could lead to suppressed emotions, causing even such a heavenly beauty to become anxious about her appearance.

In order to alleviate Bai Yu’s symptoms, Song Xu Yi proposed that Bai Yu stay by her side and accompany her to buy gifts and celebrate the New Year with her family.

It was already winter break and the Spring Festival was approaching. Song Xu Yi had been busy preparing for the exams and had been staying in the house near the school. But since it was the Spring Festival, she naturally needed to go back to her family’s home.

When Bai Yu heard that she was going home with Song Xu Yi for the Spring Festival, a smile finally appeared on her face. But soon she quieted down and disappeared for a while. When she reappeared, Song Xu Yi was almost shocked to the point of dropping her jaw. Bai Yu, who had always been dressed in a white Taoist robe, was wearing a light purple dress that Song Xu Yi had burned for her!

The dress was cut extremely well, perfectly outlining Bai Yu’s beautiful figure. She seemed to be adjusting to the high heels that Song Xu Yi had given her. At first, she limped and swayed as she walked, inadvertently revealing her graceful curves, but soon Bai Yu mastered the skill of balance and walked elegantly and gracefully towards Song Xu Yi.

Song Xu Yi couldn’t take her eyes off her.

Bai Yu had previously been wearing a loose Taoist robe, and Song Xu Yi had only known that she had a slim waist and long legs. Now that she was wearing the dress with a small V-neck, Song Xu Yi realized that Bai Yu was also extremely full in a certain area and that she was completely flawless from head to toe.

“Cough cough cough!” The system in her mind let out a violent cough.

Song Xu Yi woke up as if from a dream, feeling guilty and quickly lowered her eyelids. She didn’t know what had happened, but in a moment of confusion, she felt a sense of relief that Bai Yu had hidden her figure and that only she could see how beautiful she looked.

This was really bad!

Song Xu Yi knew what this mentality meant and couldn’t help but silently repeat to herself a few times, “She is an ancestor,” but this time it didn’t work as usual. The image of Bai Yu swaying and dancing kept echoing in her mind, and Song Xu Yi felt extremely troubled. Afraid of being caught by Bai Yu’s gaze, she had no choice but to pick up her bag, put on her coat, and leave without looking.

Did she feel that she was too old, or did she never intend to include herself in Bai Yu’s plans for a partner?

Bai Yu clenched her teeth.

It wasn’t until she walked out of the room and was blown by the cold wind at the door that Song Xu Yi realized it was already winter and Bai Yu’s attire was completely out of season.

However, Bai Yu had already changed her clothes. It was rare for her to take the initiative to adapt to modern clothing, and she was currently in a spiritual state that was not affected by the cold or heat. Song Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the words that had come to her mouth to ask Bai Yu to go back and change her clothes.

However, soon Song Xu Yi felt extremely regretful about her decision.

The Song family’s driver’s car was already parked downstairs, and Bai Yu was obviously very comfortable with this mode of transportation. After Song Xu Yi got in the car, Bai Yu calmly stretched out her long legs and sat next to Song Xu Yi. Song Xu Yi caught a glimpse of Bai Yu’s snow-white and slender legs crossed and sitting next to her in her peripheral vision, feeling her head heating up, her cheeks turning uncontrollably red, and her heartbeat beginning to accelerate.

Song Xu Yi gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, silently reciting the new spell that Bai Yu had taught her. However, for some reason, the new spell that Bai Yu had taught her, although effective, made Song Xu Yi feel more and more restless as she continued to recite it. Images of Bai Yu’s flawless waist and long legs kept appearing in her mind…

Suddenly, a phrase she had heard somewhere came to her mind: “Sister’s waist is not a waist, it’s the curved blade of a death-dealing swordsman; sister’s legs are not legs, they are the spring water on the banks of the Sana River…”

Realizing what she was thinking, Song Xu Yi was ashamed and bit her lip, resorting to her usual trick of playing the Heart Sutra in her mind to calm herself down. However, the system, who was watching her with an icy expression, remembered the fear of being silenced a few days ago and dared not cooperate with Song Xu Yi, stuttering, “I… I think the system is malfunctioning…”

Song Xu Yi had no choice but to secretly open her phone and try to recite the PDF spellbook that her online teacher had given her. But as soon as she opened the PDF, Bai Yu came over.

Panicking, Song Xu Yi quickly closed her phone, and fortunately, Bai Yu seemed not to have seen the contents on her screen. Bai Yu touched her head and furrowed her brows, saying, “Xu Yi, I think… I’m feeling a little uncomfortable again.”

Song Xu Yi looked at Bai Yu’s appearance, ignoring her own embarrassment and hurriedly reached out her hand to Bai Yu’s lips.

Bai Yu looked up at Song Xu Yi but didn’t immediately suck her blood. Perhaps because the space inside the car was cramped, and sitting in the seat made her uncomfortable, Bai Yu squatted down, slightly lowered her head, and her red lips touched Song Xu Yi’s wrist.

There was a slight pain in Song Xu Yi’s wrist, as if she had been bitten by a mosquito, as if an electric current was flowing through her body. Song Xu Yi was caught off guard and almost used all of her self-control to restrain the muffled groan at the corner of her mouth. She couldn’t help but glance at Bai Yu–

Because of Bai Yu’s squatting posture, Song Xu Yi saw something she shouldn’t have seen.

She felt something suddenly ignite in her head with a “boom”, and her face turned red again. She quickly closed her eyes.

Here it comes again!

During this period, every time she was touched by Bai Yu, she became extremely strange and always wanted to get close to her. What’s wrong with her?

This time, the feeling was more fierce than ever before. Even if Song Xu Yi closed his eyes, Bai Yu’s long, slender legs and snow-white skin kept popping up in her mind…

But what made Song Xu Yi feel even more agonizing was that Bai Yu still seemed uncomfortable after sucking her blood. She tilted her head and rested on Song Xu Yi’s lap, as if she could touch her if she just reaches out her hand…

Song Xu Yi felt like she was in a sea of fire, and the raging flames were gradually drying up her sanity.

“Miss, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Fortunately, the driver noticed something was wrong with Song Xu Yi and opened the window while slowing down the car. As the cold wind blew in from outside, Song Xu Yi gradually regained some of her senses.

“It’s too stuffy in the car, keep the window open,” she said.

For the rest of the journey, Song Xu Yi managed to maintain her composure, not doing anything to offend Bai Yu under the cold breeze.

Soon, they arrived at the shopping mall.

Despite not being a frequent shopper, Song Xu Yi’s attire gave away her wealthy background. As a result, every time they entered a store, the sales assistant would enthusiastically recommend various products to her.

After communicating with the salespeople, Song Xu Yi’s restlessness subsided.

She soon bought the gift she needed.

As they left the mall, Song Xu Yi bought a bottle of cooling oil and planned to use it as a physical method to calm herself down whenever she felt emotionally agitated. However, during the second half of the ride back to her home, Bai Yu did not rest her head on Song Xu Yi’s knee as before. Instead, she sat upright with a look of anger, pursing her lips tightly and emitting an aura that screamed “Do not approach.”

Had Bai Yu discovered Song Xu Yi’s longing for her?

Song Xu Yi’s heart sank, but she didn’t dare to confront Bai Yu and ask directly. She just closed her eyes and pretended to nap on the back seat, but she couldn’t shake off her unease. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt Bai Yu’s presence becoming increasingly cold and distant.

After a short while, the car arrived at the Song family’s ancestral home.

The ancestral home had already started the dinner party. Song Xu Yi was urged by her mother to change into formal attire and put on makeup. Song Xu Yi was surprised to find that her mother had prepared a light purple dress for her. Looking at herself in the mirror with makeup on and glancing at Bai Yu beside her, Song Xu Yi inexplicably felt that they looked like a couple…

However, Song Xu Yi did not notice the deep and profound gaze of Bai Yu when she looked at her. She was immersed in her own thoughts, realizing what she was thinking, feeling disgusted with herself, and starting to indulge in her own daydreams again. She almost fled downstairs.

Father Song was chatting with someone not far from the stairs and when he saw Song Xu Yi’s appearance, he laughed and said, “Unknowingly, our Xu Yi has become a beautiful young lady! A pretty girl like you shouldn’t be stuck in the laboratory all day long. Come on, let Dad introduce you to a few sons of his friends.”

Without waiting for Song Xu Yi’s reaction, father Song took her by the hand and led her into the crowd.

In front of the crowd, Song Xu Yi couldn’t refuse father Song’s proposal and could only be embarrassedly led by him to follow a group of people, absent-mindedly joining in their conversation while her eyes wandered around, inevitably falling on Bai Yu who was standing aside.

Even standing in the corner, Bai Yu couldn’t conceal the brilliance emanating from her body. Among the crowd, Bai Yu was always the most dazzling one.

However, Bai Yu still had a cold face, and her gaze as she looked over… seemed to carry some anger?

Song Xu Yi didn’t know why, but she had a sudden thought of being a wife who was trying to catch her husband cheating.

However, when Song Xu Yi looked over again, Bai Yu had already turned her head away.

Song Xu Yi pursed her lips: the noble and outstanding Bai Yu could not possibly show such an expression. It must be that she had made a mistake, but Bai Yu was definitely still angry about her coveting…

For a moment, Song Xu Yi’s heart became even more bitter.

After chatting for a while, father Song asked Song Xu Yi to add WeChat with some of his friend’s sons. However, when Song Xu Yi took out her phone, she found that the screen flashed and then the battery died.

Father Song didn’t insist and continued to talk about business with others. Song Xu Yi took the opportunity to escape and went to eat something on the side.

At this moment, she didn’t want to be dragged to socialize by her family, nor did she want to face Bai Yu alone in her room. She could only try to delay time by eating at the dining table. It must be said that the food prepared by the Song family this time was particularly delicious. Even though her mood was bad, Song Xu Yi still ate a lot, especially a kind of small cake. After biting it open, the extremely delicious runny filling flowed out. Song Xu Yi ate many of them in a row.

Mother Song, who came to find Song Xu Yi, saw the pile of cake paper next to her and widened her eyes: “Xu Yi! I was just about to tell you, there’s alcohol in the lava filling…”

But it was too late.

In front of her, mother Song’s appeared as two overlapping figures. Song Xu Yi looked at her and laughed foolishly: “Oh, I see!”

With a helpless sigh, mother Song had to call someone to send Song Xu Yi back to her room and bring her sobering soup.

In reality, Song Xu Yi still had some consciousness left and obediently drank the sobering soup. However, she couldn’t help feeling that this was the best situation possible: she wouldn’t have to stay in the living room awkwardly if she was drunk, and she probably wouldn’t have that strange dream again while drunk, nor would she have to face the cold and aloof Bai Yu.

The room dimmed, and a servant fed Song Xu Yi some soup before turning off the lights and leaving the room.

As Song Xu Yi began to doze off, someone entered and began to remove her makeup, gently wiping her cheeks with a towel.

Feeling comfortable, Song Xu Yi murmured and fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, she dreamed of Bai Yu again. It seemed like a continuation of the dream from the night before.

They were back at the Bai family’s ancestral home, but the ceremony of paying respects to heaven and earth seemed to have passed. Song Xu Yi and Bai Yu sat together on a redwood bed covered with a bright red silk quilt. The red quilt was dazzling, making Bai Yu’s skin look even whiter and more snow-like.

Strangely, Bai Yu was not wearing a bright red wedding dress. She was still dressed in the purple gown Song Xu Yi had seen her in earlier.

Bai Yu looked incredibly cold, frowning at Song Xu Yi and staring into her eyes. Her voice was chilly as she asked, “Song Xu Yi, what kind of thoughts do you have about me?”

Who knew how Bai Yu had spent her day? Song Xu Yi had avoided her all day, smiling at a female sales assistant five times, two other female assistants three times, and two men at tonight’s event twice. But she hadn’t smiled at Bai Yu once all day!

She wondered if Bai Yu really thought she was old, being an ancestor, and therefore did not want to get close to her.

What kind of thoughts…

Did she realize?

However, Song Xu Yi dared not meet Bai Yu’s gaze, and hung her head in shame, biting her lips tightly:

This sentence was like a whip that exposed all the pretense, laying everything bare in the air.

In the dream, Bai Yu had sensed her thoughts, and in reality, with Bai Yu’s intelligence, she probably had sensed it too.

According to her character, she would definitely distance herself from Song Xu Yi in secret, and might even return to the dark and hopeless Bai family estate…

“Song Xu Yi, are you… really…” Bai Yu’s eyes darkened as she struggled to speak, but before she could utter the words “think I’m old and unattractive,” Song Xu Yi grabbed her collar.

Perhaps it was the alcohol, but Song Xu Yi felt a fiery rage burst forth from her heart, casting aside all her anxiety, restraint, and bitterness in this moment. After all, in real life, it was already clear that Bai Yu had sensed her intentions, so why not indulge her desires in her dreams?

“What intentions?” Song Xu Yi fixed her gaze on Bai Yu’s stunning face, gritting her teeth as she spoke: “Carry out your intentions!”

……

It seemed that Bai Yu hadn’t reacted yet, staring blankly in place.

Song Xu Yi felt more and more like this was a dream. If it was the real Bai Yu, she would definitely push her away in disgust.

Song Xu Yi’s breath hitched, unable to bear looking at that holy and beautiful face that made her feel like she was committing a crime. She tore at Bai Yu’s shirt collar without hesitation, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time –“

However, Song Xu Yi overestimated her strength in the dream. She tugged at the collar twice but couldn’t tear the dress as she had expected. She grew angrier and angrier, thinking how her desires for Bai Yu had made everything a mess. Clenching Bai Yu’s collar, she was almost unable to hold back her tears of frustration–

Why was she so useless?!

Then, Song Xu Yi’s hand was suddenly held, and the skirt that she couldn’t tear off just a moment ago opened up on its own…

Bai Yu lifted her chin, with a joyful smile in her eyes, but her voice sounded slightly resentful as she kissed Song Xu Yi deeply.

“This kind of thing, it’s better to let this ancestor teach you how to handle it…”
