The Byoukidere Is Her Sweetie

Chapter 90: 090: Let’s date
 

The next day, the sky was slightly clear.

The weak warmth of the early winter sun filtered through the window cracks, scattering dancing patches of light all around, making the person on the bed squint in the sunshine, frown and flutter her eyelashes before finally opening her eyes.

The chandelier on the ceiling was really pretty.

Zhou Xufang rubbed her eyes, still groggy from sleep, and stared at the chandelier for a long time. Blinking, she then suddenly sat up.

This wasn’t home…

Her first reaction was to clench her fists and guard her chest, then she looked around warily—

All the guard in her eyes fell away when she saw Jiang Zhi, lying beside her bed.

He was still asleep, his hair messy and sticking out on all sides, his thin clothes shifted to one side revealing a hint of his collarbone, gleaming under the sun’s rays, porcelain white.

His sleeping posture wasn’t great, and his legs were too long, stretched out carelessly.

The patches of light from the window just happened to land on his face, his skin fair and lips red. With his eyes closed and silent, he resembled a painting of a beautiful person. Normally, his peach blossom eyes, not prone to flirtation, were hidden under his soft, obedient eyelashes, casting a few shadows. He seemed not at all like a young master but more like a gentle youth.

She, as if possessed, reached out her hand to touch him.

Jiang Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, and she froze in her movement.

There wasn’t a trace of sleepiness in his eyes, only a joyful and triumphant smile, “What are you doing?” propping himself up on the bed, he leaned toward her with the clear light of his peach blossom eyes, “Do you want to touch me?”

Zhou Xufang moved back, “No!”

She said it particularly loudly.

Bluffing, really bluffing.

Not teasing her anymore, Jiang Zhi stood up, not caring about his messy hair, touched her face, then her forehead, “You don’t have a fever anymore.”

After he moved back and sat down, Zhou Xufang, who had been holding her breath, finally breathed quietly.

“Do you remember much about yesterday?”

Yesterday’s events…

Events and scenes rapidly flooded into Zhou Xufang’s mind.

It was annoying, her memory was very good, she didn’t know how many times better than normal people.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she hung her head, her hair as messy as Jiang Zhi’s, and confessed in a small voice, “I uprooted a tree.”

Jiang Zhi leaned back in his chair, crossed his right leg over his left, hummed, waiting for her to continue.

Zhou Xufang continued confessing honestly, “We also went to the police station.”

Jiang Zhi hummed, “What else?”

Her head buried even lower, her voice fainter, “… I don’t remember.” But she remembered biting him, for a long time.

She sneakily glanced at Jiang Zhi’s neck, full of bite marks…

She frustratingly tugged at her clothes, her face flushed and scratching her palm, wondering if Jiang Zhi would think she was a lecherous demoness…

“Do you remember you kissed me?”

Her voice broke, “I didn’t, it was you—”

Jiang Zhi laughed, “You remember, huh.”

“…”

Suddenly, she thought Jiang Zhi was a little bit bad, just a little.

He looked into her eyes, his gaze intense, “So, should you explain how you managed to uproot a tree weighing several hundred pounds?”

Why?

Actually, to be precise, she didn’t know why either. Her memory stopped at that human genetic laboratory where she had lots of blood drawn, took many pills, and underwent many radiation experiments, and after all that, she became this way. Before that, she couldn’t remember anything but knew that many people called her a Monster, others called her a legend in genetic medicine.

She didn’t look into Jiang Zhi’s eyes anymore, “I’m strong.”

Jiang Zhi’s tone was casual, not like an accusation, more like making conversation, “What about the alcohol? Who gave you the drink?”

“I bought it myself.”

Her ears turned red.

This girl was probably not good at lying, her panic and guilt were written all over her face.

Jiang Zhi didn’t expose her, “You had a fever last night.” Within less than five minutes, it dropped from over forty degrees to the twenties, which was very abnormal.

Zhou Xufang hung her head and fiddled with her fingers, unsure how to explain.

She had been having frequent fevers lately, which hadn’t happened before, and she still hadn’t figured out why.

“Zhou Xufang.”

She immediately sat up straight.

Still unwilling to say anything, Jiang Zhi felt a sense of powerlessness as if he could be abandoned at any moment. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the edge of the bed, “What is our relationship?”

She blankly asked back, “What relationship?”

Jiang Zhi tugged at his collar, revealing his collarbone and shoulder, “Who bit this?”

The bite marks were red with a hint of purple, very noticeable against his fair skin.

She felt like crushing her own teeth, “…It was me.”

He accused her righteously, “You also touched me.” His tone was forceful, but his eyes gleamed with pleasure as he emphasized the location and duration, “In the private room, for a long time.”

Zhou Xufang was speechless, “…”

It was he who had put her hand inside his clothes, she only touched his abs…

“You kissed and you touched, aren’t you responsible?” So, his goal was, “Let’s date.” It didn’t matter if she wasn’t upfront, first he had to win her over.

She suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Zhi still didn’t know that her eyes could turn red, her self-healing ability was more than eighty times that of humans, she was an amphibian, her bite force comparable to that of a wild beast.

Jiang Zhi still didn’t know that she had scared many people into fainting, many wanted her dead, so she wanted to buy an island and live hidden in the water.

Jiang Zhi also didn’t know she really, really liked him, wanting to take him to Moon Bay, wanting to give him her favorite lamp, favorite cotton candy, and milk.

Lixiang said, Jiang Zhi was cold-sensitive and water-fearing, and needed medication to cope every winter.

Jiang Zhi had three good childhood friends, a grandmother who loved him dearly, and a Genetic Laboratory specifically for treating his chronic conditions.

“Not good.”

She said it wasn’t good.

He became annoyed, his eyes reddening, coughing out of anger, “Zhou Xufang…cough, cough, cough…you’re rejecting me again!”

Her eyes teary, she looked down, unable to look at him anymore, her throat rough, no longer speaking.

Jiang Zhi really was irritated by her, coughing until his face looked awful, “You’re so stubborn, I should have dealt with you yesterday!” After speaking, he stormed out of the room without another word.

Zhou Xufang sat there, her eyes becoming warm.

Later, there was a loud clanging outside the door, she got up, opened it, and saw the towel and toothbrush Jiang Zhi had left at the door. Her coat had been dirtied by milk the night before, and there was a men’s hoodie on a cabinet by the door, in her favorite pink color.

Zhou Xufang didn’t know many people, she could count them on her fingers, she didn’t know how many people were in the world, but she was sure, Jiang Zhi was the best to her in this world.

After freshening up, she came out to find Jiang Zhi sitting on the lazy chair on the balcony, his back to her, not turning around to look at her.

“I’m going home now.”

Jiang Zhi hummed, refusing to talk to her.

She said, “Goodbye.”

After standing for a while, she walked towards the entrance, not yet reaching the doorstep when Jiang Zhi called her back, “Come back.”

So she walked back.

Jiang Zhi still didn’t look at her, just showed her the back of his head, “Take the breakfast from the table, throw it away if you don’t eat it!”

His tone was still angry.

But Zhou Xufang knew, he couldn’t bear to let her starve.

She took the breakfast with her, leaving Jiang Zhi’s house, finished it at the doorstep, and walked out of the compound with red eyes.
