After who knows how long, just as Su Ling was about to suffocate, the two finally parted.
“You!”
Before Su Ling could say anything, Ji Lingyuan actually started pulling at her clothes.
Su Ling widened her eyes.
‘No!’
“Heh, you still owe me forty days as my girlfriend.”
Ji Lingyuan sneered, a mad glimmer flashing in her eyes.
Su Ling started to panic.
“D-Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?”
‘Who starts getting handsy the moment they reunite!’
“What’s there to ask? Didn’t you just explain everything clearly?”
“But at least we should change locations! It’s too cold here!”
The cold wind howled, stinging their faces.
“Heh, I’m feeling pretty hot right now.”
Ji Lingyuan pinned Su Ling down and pulled out a finger sheath.
Su Ling was shocked.
‘What the—why do you carry something like that on you!’
“Wait! Protection! Safety measures!”
“I can’t wait. Let’s just do it like this.”
‘Do what like this?!’
The next moment, Su Ling’s body trembled, going limp.
‘D-Dammit!’
‘Then don’t blame her for getting rough!’
Downstairs.
Yan Li’s hospital room was on the top floor.
Yan Li looked curiously at the ceiling.
‘Strange, this was the top floor, above was the rooftop, usually empty. Why were there noises?’
But soon, she dismissed it and turned her gaze to Yan Lin, who sat with her head down, playing with her fingers.
She grabbed Yan Lin’s little hand.
Yan Li’s hand was warm, Yan Lin’s hand was cold.
Feeling this warmth, Yan Lin stiffened.
Then, like a boulder crashing into a lake, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into her sister’s arms, sobbing silently.
Yan Li hugged Yan Lin with a pained heart, gently patting her back.
She and Yan Lin were twins, having hatched from the same eggshell.
At the time, she had burst out first with all her might, becoming the older sister.
Since hatching, she had made protecting her younger sister her mission.
In this world, she also understood Yan Lin the best.
Her own talent was mediocre, the hardworking type.
But she knew that Yan Lin’s talent was terrifyingly high.
She never told anyone about this, not even Yan Lin herself.
When Su Ling forcefully killed Se Lin and she heard Nova’s description of last night’s scene, she knew the answer.
And when she saw Yan Lin’s evasive eyes, she confirmed it further.
She didn’t say a word, only silently patted Yan Lin’s back.
But in such a warm scene, the noise from above was a bit too loud, spoiling the atmosphere.
Yan Li even vaguely heard someone begging?
“Please, please… mmph!”
‘Strange, why did that voice sound like Ji Lingyuan’s from earlier?’
Yan Li shook her head.
At that moment, Yan Lin stopped crying, her face tear-streaked and still hiccupping, looking very cute.
Yan Li wiped away her tears with a pained heart.
“This outfit is very pretty. Did she buy it for you?”
Yan Li touched Yan Lin’s hand, her lips pressed together.
‘This wasn’t her sister’s hand…’
For a moment, a sharp pain spread through her body.
But her face showed no abnormality; instead, she smiled and asked about Yan Lin’s new clothes.
“You should change into a new set too. That school uniform from that day was long overdue. How much was it? We shouldn’t take advantage of others.”
“It was about 100,000, I think.”
Yan Lin wasn’t good at lying.
‘How much?’
Yan Li’s beautiful eyes widened into ovals.
‘No way!’
“You actually paid? Ah, spit! What a mouth!”
Yan Li slapped her mouth.
She was really shocked.
100,000 for a set of clothes!
‘Was it made of gold?!’
“What did I pay for?” Yan Lin tilted her head curiously.
Seeing Yan Lin’s innocent gaze, Yan Li rubbed her forehead.
“Nothing… Sigh, this is not good.”
100,000!
‘How are we going to repay that?’
“Tell big sister the truth. What that classmate said earlier, is it all true?”
Yan Lin pressed her finger to her lips, deep in thought.
‘What did Su Ling say?’
“Last night, Yan Lin and I got a room and slept together.”
It did seem like they got a room and slept together.
“Yeah, it’s true.”
Yan Li’s vision went dark, her breath caught, and she nearly passed out.
Her little cabbage was rooted!
And by a big cabbage at that…
“Big sister! What’s wrong with you!”
Seeing her sister cry, Yan Lin panicked.
She hurriedly wiped the tears from Yan Li’s face.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. These are happy tears.” Yan Li forced a smile.
“Happy?”
“Yeah, happy that Lin Lin has become a true witch…”
‘Happy my ass!’
She wished she could tear Su Ling apart limb from limb!
This was the little cabbage she had protected since childhood!
And if Su Ling was a decent person, that would be one thing, but looking at Ji Lingyuan’s bitter expression, it was clear Su Ling hadn’t been short on romantic entanglements.
Yan Li had heard Su Ling say she was a temporary worker at the Witch’s Hut.
Even though she wasn’t a formal employee, that was the Witch’s Hut—no difference!
Su Ling had probably already slept with hundreds, and seeing her spend 100,000 on new clothes for Yan Lin, Yan Li felt like she couldn’t see a future.
Yan Lin was clearly being kept!
Su Ling was definitely some rich second-generation, using her position as a temporary worker at the Witch’s Hut as cover, then when she saw a pretty little sister, she’d bare her fangs and go “hehehe”!
What a ruthless heart!
“Ah-choo!”
Up on the rooftop.
Su Ling, who was riding the Ji Lingyuan model car, suddenly sneezed.
“I told you we shouldn’t be here, but you insisted.”
“Damn it!”
Ji Lingyuan’s face was bright red beneath her, grinding her teeth.
She never expected that after not seeing each other for so long, Su Ling had made a binary carry!
What the hell happened this month!
“Hmph, I’ve wanted to see that expression on your face for a long time.”
Su Ling leaned close to Ji Lingyuan, a smirk curling on her lips.
Ji Lingyuan rolled her eyes.
“Seriously, not even a quarter filled!”
Su Ling sat cross-legged on Ji Lingyuan, looking at the spoils of war.
On one side of the Magic Cube, next to the Elf and Luo Ganxue’s side, was Ji Lingyuan’s chibi portrait.
Only a quarter of the area was lit.
‘How was she even worse than Long Ying!’
Su Ling pursed her lips.
She patted Ji Lingyuan’s cheek, and at that moment, Ji Lingyuan woke up.
She looked at Su Ling with a complex gaze.
“You… are you still Su Ling?”
“If I’m not Su Ling, then who am I?”
Su Ling rolled her eyes.
“Since you’re awake, let’s end this. It’s cold here.”
Insisting on driving up here, honestly.
They cleaned up the battlefield and left.
In the stairwell, Ji Lingyuan suddenly grabbed Su Ling.
“What, again?”
Su Ling’s eyes widened.
‘Recovered that fast?’
“I’m asking you, how many people did you sleep with at the Witch Academy?” Ji Lingyuan stared intensely into Su Ling’s eyes.
Su Ling looked at her with some amusement.
“I can’t remember. Why do you ask?”
Ji Lingyuan bit her lip.
The Su Ling now felt unfamiliar.
If the old Su Ling was a delicious cherry blossom-flavored little cake, then the current Su Ling was like a knife.
Hidden sharpness.
“Why? You shouldn’t be short on money now, right? I saw you bought Yan Lin such expensive clothes.”
She knew about Yan Lin’s family situation—the clothes on her couldn’t have been bought by her.
“Then where do you think all my money comes from?”
Su Ling turned her head away, not looking at Ji Lingyuan.
She knew Ji Lingyuan’s feelings for her.
If this could make Ji Lingyuan give up, then that was fine.
Someone like her really didn’t deserve those beautiful, illusory feelings.
Ji Lingyuan’s heart ached fiercely.
“You’re debasing yourself!”
She almost shouted it out.
Su Ling lowered her head, her expression unclear in the dim stairwell.
“My dear Miss Ji, I was always for sale.”
“That’s different! Before, it was for your family, to pay off debts—it was out of necessity! But…”
“Doesn’t that still make it selling?”
Ji Lingyuan was speechless.
That was indeed true.
“I just went back to my old trade. Why are you so upset? Besides, who are you to me?”
That’s right—they were originally a transactional relationship.
Ji Lingyuan felt a nameless anger.
“Then that just now…”
“Just now! It’s what I wanted, okay.” And that was also true.
“Hehe, if you still want, we can continue tonight~”
Su Ling giggled, her long fingers tracing circles on Ji Lingyuan’s chest.
Seeing Su Ling so unfamiliar, Ji Lingyuan stood frozen like a statue.
“You’ve changed…”
Ji Lingyuan’s tone was bitter.
Su Ling’s heart also twinged inexplicably.
She turned away.
“I don’t know what you liked about me before. I’m just a Fuliji, I’ve told you so many times.”
“Before, you at least didn’t do it just for money.”
More for her family.
But now, in her eyes, Su Ling in the Witch Academy was just sleeping for money.
Maybe not even for money.
Having become that kind of witch entirely.
“Tch, you get your fun and then lift your skirt and pretend you don’t know me?” Su Ling was also getting irritated.
She didn’t bother to explain, just pushed Ji Lingyuan aside and left.
“I’m like this now—if you have money, I’ll do it; if you don’t have money but are good-looking, I’ll still do it. Take it or leave it. Anyway, I have plenty of money now, and I still owe you forty days as a girlfriend. If you need me, come find me. I’m available anytime.”
