Chapter 397: Chapter 220: Senior Sister Is the Top Priority (5k)_2
He had already decided that when the book was completed, he would immediately go to his junior sister to receive that reward which stirred the imagination, otherwise, he really wouldn’t know what excuse to use to slip into his junior sister’s room.
If there was one thing that was unaccustomed during this period, it was that his senior sister seemed not as clingy as before, only naturally following when it was mealtime.
This made You Su feel a bit lost, not understanding the reason for his senior sister’s change. His rationality told him this was reasonable, but his emotions made him worry.
Torn, he was too embarrassed to inquire about the reason, assuming his senior sister was just a fickle little child.
Unnoticeably, more than a week had passed.
The cold wind howled at the mountaintop, the sky had not been clear for days, all grayish-white, as if snow was about to fall.
After finishing the morning training, You Su glanced at his junior sister’s room and shook his head quietly.
The girl who liked staying up late indeed had only a brief enthusiasm, sticking with early morning training for a few days before reverting to her habit of staying up late and waking up late.
You Su didn’t force his junior sister to go to bed early and rise early, after all, everyone has different routines, not to mention the junior sister’s true form was a snake, an inherently nocturnal creature.
Suddenly, a pure white light appeared within his Divine Sense, a light belonging to his senior sister.
Wangshu was wrapped around her right arm by the white-scaled Xiaohua while her left hand reached out with slender fingers to lightly tease the tendrils of Xiaohua’s flower-like appendages.
You Su pursed his lips, but still stepped forward to greet her.
Wangshu sensed You Su approaching and moved lightly, seemingly avoiding him.
You Su frowned and hurriedly followed.
"Senior sister."
You Su blocked Wangshu ahead, his expression slightly heavy.
Wangshu’s blue eyes dodged, as if she didn’t dare to look at him, but still replied obediently:
"Junior brother..."
"Where is senior sister going?"
"Xiaohua’s gold-tail worms are finished, I’m going to Beast Taming Peak to buy some more..."
Xiaohua was a spirit beast, not an evil entity. Gold-tail worms were the feed that You Su found most suitable for Xiaohua’s tastes after trying various options.
"Such a trivial task, let me handle it, senior sister doesn’t like going to Beast Taming Peak anyway." You Su smiled gently.
"There’s no need, junior brother should focus on training, I can handle it myself."
"I need to train, but doesn’t senior sister also need to train?" You Su countered.
The question seemed to stump the girl, as she rubbed her chin under her Jade Rabbit Mask, seeming enlightened: "Right, I need to train too, so what should I do?"
You Su seemed to have caught the crucial issue, clearly senior sister hadn’t practiced before, at most accompanying him in sword training, why did she start meditating in her room all day upon returning?
"Is senior sister trying to break through? Why so diligent lately?"
You Su asked suggestively.
Wangshu nodded slightly, seeming a bit shy.
But true to her principle of answering all questions, she still responded softly:
"Because if I don’t train to improve my realm, junior brother might be taken away by bad people again."
You Su’s breath suddenly stalled, his heart raced, he took a deep breath, not expecting such a touching reason from the girl.
"So senior sister... is also talking less to focus on training?"
"Because being with junior brother makes me not want to train, so I deliberately keep a distance."
Wangshu answered sincerely, unknowingly how powerful her honest words were to him.
"Then why do you still join us for meals, since senior sister can fast, you could stay secluded for better cultivation results."
Wangshu responded: "If I don’t see junior brother all day, I can’t concentrate on training either."
You Su was emotionally stirred, silent for a moment as he couldn’t speak.
He felt a bit ashamed, academically he thought of himself as a senior, but in life, he viewed her as emotionally weaker, needing guidance and direction.
Only now did he realize how arrogant he had been, senior sister was not just a child, she had her own thoughts and judgment.
After months of interaction, unknowingly his emotions, too, were easily swayed by the girl he saw as a child-like senior sister.
And he, unknowingly changed the girl’s life.
You Su felt deep remorse, and resolved to regard his senior sister’s emotions earnestly from now on, treating her as a somewhat dull adult rather than a naive child.
"Senior sister... why do you want to see me?"
Wangshu’s clear blue eyes became muddled, seemingly without the answer.
"I don’t know either."
Ultimately, the girl shook her head helplessly and instead asked:
"Does junior brother want to see me?"
You Su was suddenly taken aback, realizing senior sister also had a cute side that avoided questions, so he responded honestly:
"I do."
"Then why does junior brother want to see me?"
Wangshu’s tone was bright, anyone could hear her good mood.
You Su thought for a moment, his smile ambiguous, "I don’t know either."
Is it liking?
Largely it is liking.
But is it liking between senior and junior siblings or between a man and a woman?
You Su couldn’t quite grasp it.
Rather than dwell on it, it’s better to leave the matter to time.
When all falls into place, the answer will come naturally.
"Junior brother also doesn’t know everything?"
In the girl’s eyes, You Su was almost a synonym for omniscience.
You Su was amused by his senior sister, naturally placing his palm on her snowy-haired head, gently patting it.
"There’s no one all-knowing in the world, junior brother isn’t as impressive as senior sister thinks, there’s much I need to learn from her too."
