Chapter 64: It Sounds Amazing 8! It’s Simply Heavenly!
She runs, they chase! There’s no escape for her!
Very soon, Ye Xiao found herself being chased all the way to the area near the teaching buildings at Binhai University.
Her small frame was truly lacking in stamina, and this chase left her panting heavily.
Hiding in a corner, she didn’t dare to show her face.
Through the railing, Ye Xiao could clearly see the three older girls, hearts in their eyes, scouring the yard for her, occasionally sniffing the air as if hoping to track down her hiding spot by scent.
Could it be that the orange blossom scent really lingers in the air where she’s been?
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but wonder.
Since her transmigration, Ye Xiao had never been this flustered.
The reason she was so flustered was, ironically, because of her own passive skill for raising the main female characters’ affection levels.
[System Sister, help me! Stop just watching the show!]
No response.
[System Sister, don’t pretend! I know you’re here!]
[Ara, ara looks like you caught me! Didn’t expect the weakling host to be so capable~]
The System Sister had really picked up some bad habits. Not the good kind, of course, but her mischievous, bratty little gremlin ways—fully copied from Ye Xiao.
This must be what they call poetic justice.
However, the fact that System Sister was actually just watching her humiliation…
Ye Xiao even suspected that this whole thing with the three older girls losing their self-control was orchestrated by System Sister herself.
[Seems like you’ve learned a thing or two, my naughty host. But letting background extras mess with the host would be no good, now would it? I’d recommend heading to a place higher up with a stronger breeze. That way, the orange blossom scent in the air will disperse faster and won’t continue affecting the bystanders.]
[Alright, I’ll trust you this once, Fishy System Sister!]
With that, Ye Xiao dashed upstairs. The Lolicon zombie sisters were roaming around the campus, but as it was class time, and they were all fourth-year students, they could wander around campus freely without being questioned.
Ye Xiao climbed up to the sixth floor in one go, leaning against the stairwell and gasping for breath. This was even more exhausting than cozying up to big sisters or playing double solitaire and racking up points.
But just as she stopped, she heard footsteps below. Looking through the stairwell’s gaps, Ye Xiao couldn’t help but curse under her breath, “Damn it, they’re still chasing me!”
“Little Loli, you smell so good ❤️~”
“Little Loli, come out already ❤️~ Mwah~”
To make matters worse, her phone started ringing at that exact moment!
Without thinking, Ye Xiao immediately hung up, but the ringtone had already given away her location, and the three Lolicon zombie sisters immediately zeroed in on her position.
Ye Xiao glanced down and locked eyes with one of the heart-eyed big sisters.
“Little Loli ~ found you ❤️~”
“Now, where else can you run? Mwah ❤️~”
“Tasty little one ❤️~ Haaa ❤️~ Haaa ❤️~”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and prepared to keep running.
Just then, a melodious tune started playing from the direction above.
“Ara? Why are we in the teaching building?”
“What’s going on?”
“I’m so hungry… Hey, where’s Lu Yu? Should we go grab a bite?”
As the music played, the three big sisters suddenly returned to normal.
[System Sister, what’s happening?]
Relieved, Ye Xiao asked curiously. That music came at the perfect time—otherwise, if she had been caught by those lovesick big sisters, she’d definitely be in trouble!
[A lovely tune can refine the spirit, bringing joy and helping people focus. Plus, with the orange blossom scent concentration now greatly reduced, everyone’s state is quickly returning to normal!]
[So that’s it ~ Fishy System Sister, you really do come up with all sorts of senseless ideas to make people lose their minds, huh. So boring~]
Freed from the crisis, Ye Xiao’s attitude immediately became cocky.
[Hey! You lowly host, how dare you defame the system’s purity without cause?]
Naturally, Ye Xiao didn’t intend to argue with System Sister any further.
She lowered her stance and crept towards the source of the music.
The beautiful melody came from a classroom on the eighth floor, a piano room with the door slightly ajar.
It was the sound of a piano, full and vibrant, with a smooth rhythm and a melody that flowed in layers, like a gentle spring stream bubbling along.
Even someone like Ye Xiao, who didn’t understand music, could feel a genuine sense of awe at the skillful performance.
Ye Xiao lightly pushed open the piano room door.
In the slightly dim room, a beautiful girl was seated on the bench in front of the piano.
She held a graceful posture, like an elegant swan, with cascading black hair flowing like a waterfall.
It gently swayed with her slight movements.
Her face was exquisite, her eyes bright as stars, and a faint smile rested on her lips, radiating an inner tranquility and confidence.
Her slender, porcelain-like fingers danced on the black-and-white keys with the grace of a dancer.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but hold her breath, scenes like this seemed beyond the power of the word “beautiful” alone.
Yet the girl, immersed in her own musical world, had not noticed Ye Xiao’s presence.
Her playing was filled with emotion, sometimes passionate, sometimes gentle, as though she were painting a vivid story with music, drawing Ye Xiao into it, lost and captivated.
The piano piece gradually reached its end, and soon, the girl finally stopped playing.
Yet she did not look around, she kept her eyes closed, seemingly savoring her performance.
Soon, the girl furrowed her brows slightly, as if dissatisfied with her own playing.
“Clap, clap, clap ❤️~”
Ye Xiao, noticing the girl’s frown, began clapping enthusiastically.
The girl finally realized there was someone else in the room and looked up, slightly surprised.
“Uh…”
Faced with the sudden awkward atmosphere, Ye Xiao didn’t know what to say.
“That was amazing ❤️! You play so beautifully! It’s practically heavenly ❤️!”
“Huh?”
The girl playing the piano was completely stunned when Ye Xiao suddenly rushed forward and grabbed her hands.
Looking at Ye Xiao’s adorable cheeks, a question mark seemed to form above the girl’s head.
For a moment, she seemed to lose focus, then she spoke, “What a cute little girl! Are you here with your older brother or sister for a campus tour?”
Ye Xiao shook her head, deciding she wasn’t done yet—she had to go all out.
“Big Sister, not only do you play so beautifully, but you’re also so gorgeous! What’s your name? Can we add each other on WeChat? Want to collaborate on some music with me?”
Translator’s Note: “8” here is used as a playful way of saying “Ba” (吧) in Chinese, often adding emphasis or a casual tone to the expression.
