Senior Sister, Please Act Human! - Chapter 6

Xiao Yuanzhi ran around blindly until she reached a certain area and noticed that Wei Zisu had stopped attacking.

So she did have reservations about causing trouble here.

That made things much easier!

Xiao Yuanzhi immediately ran toward the residential quarters, turning left and right through several winding paths. The moment Wei Zisu’s attention slipped, she crouched down.

To her surprise, she actually managed to shake Wei Zisu off.

Watching Wei Zisu disappear around a corner, Xiao Yuanzhi did not stand up. Instead, she shuffled forward in tiny steps, chose the nearest room, and pushed the door open.

After closing the door behind her, Xiao Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She straightened up and looked around the room.

There was a man lying on the bed.

Xiao Yuanzhi lightened her footsteps and crept closer. Once she saw the man’s face clearly, she was startled.

Wasn’t this the bastard who had tried to molest her that day?!

The man was sleeping soundly and had not noticed that someone else had entered the room.

Perhaps he found his sleeping position uncomfortable, because he rolled over and lay flat on his back.

Xiao Yuanzhi hurriedly crouched down again, afraid he might discover her.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the bastard showed no sign of getting out of bed, Xiao Yuanzhi stretched her neck out for another look.

So he was still asleep.

But the moment she saw his face again, her anger flared.

Whenever she looked at him, she remembered the vile, shameless, and disgusting thing he had tried to do.

At first, she had believed it was only a dream, so she had let the matter go.

But now Xiao Yuanzhi knew she had not been dreaming. She had transmigrated.

This bastard had actually tried to rape her.

How could she tolerate that?

The people Xiao Yuanzhi despised most were animals like him.

Therefore, even though she was currently trapped in dire circumstances herself, for the prosperity of Cangfeng Manor and the sake of justice throughout the world, she resolutely decided to teach him how to behave once again.

Xiao Yuanzhi casually grabbed the walking stick beside her and began beating the bastard on the bed.

“Ow—!”

That day, Qin Yiluo had been beaten by Xiao Yuanzhi until his face was swollen and covered in bruises. He had remained bedridden for several days.

How could he possibly have expected someone to break into his room and beat him again—while he was asleep, no less?

Worse still, he had no idea who was attacking him.

Xiao Yuanzhi was ruthless. Of all the places she could have struck, she concentrated almost entirely on his head.

Left with no choice, Qin Yiluo covered his head with both hands and continuously begged for mercy.

He curled up and rolled across the bed while protecting his skull. However, because he kept moving, Xiao Yuanzhi stopped limiting her attacks to his head and began striking every part of his body.

Xiao Yuanzhi became completely carried away.

By the time she finally stopped, one hand was planted on her waist while the other supported her against the table. She took several deep breaths.

Beating someone was physical labor after all.

She was exhausted!

She had intended to throw the walking stick at Qin Yiluo and leave without another thought, but the object in her hand suddenly caught her attention.

Could this bastard still be planning to get out of bed?

And what would he do once he got up?

Go harm another young woman?

Ptooey!

Xiao Yuanzhi would never give him that opportunity.

She gripped the walking stick with both hands and raised her knee, intending to snap it in half with all her strength.

Unfortunately, the stick was too hard.

Instead of breaking it, she smashed it painfully against her own knee.

“Hiss—!”

The pain surged upward from her knee and shot straight into Xiao Yuanzhi’s brain.

Only two words remained in her mind—

It hurts!

It hurt like hell!

Tears gathered in Xiao Yuanzhi’s eyes.

Her fury immediately surged again.

What kind of lousy walking stick was this? Why was it so damned hard?

Her anger made everything around her seem offensive, and she even transferred her resentment toward the owner of the walking stick—Qin Yiluo.

Xiao Yuanzhi raised the stick once more, preparing to give Qin Yiluo another blow.

However, he rolled over because of the pain, causing her attack to miss. The walking stick struck the edge of the bed instead.

With a crisp crack, it snapped in half.

Before Xiao Yuanzhi could do anything else, faint sounds of shouting and commotion reached her ears.

She made an immediate decision.

She tossed the broken walking stick onto Qin Yiluo, opened the window, and jumped out without caring where it led.

That night, Cangfeng Manor was brightly illuminated.

Every disciple in the manor was mobilized, and even the masters were disturbed.

They seemed determined to capture the intruder who had broken into the manor.

Unfortunately, the result was obvious.

They found nothing.

After all, the two culprits had already slipped back to their respective residences.

The next day, Xiao Yuanzhi woke during daylight hours for once.

The main reason was that Wei Zisu had not tormented her very much the previous night, allowing her to sleep exceptionally well.

By the time Yan’er came to wake her, Xiao Yuanzhi had already finished washing and dressing.

The moment Yan’er saw Xiao Yuanzhi, she pulled her into a tight embrace.

After releasing her, she even began crying, repeatedly lamenting how miserable Xiao Yuanzhi’s life was and how tragic it was that she had lost her memory after falling into the lake.

A question immediately arose in Xiao Yuanzhi’s mind.

She had only told Gao Yan about this last night.

How did Yan’er already know?

Had Gao Yan spread the news that quickly?

Still, that was not important.

For Xiao Yuanzhi, this was actually a good opportunity.

What confused her was Yan’er’s attitude.

If Yan’er was crying, why were there no tears?

Her voice certainly sounded tearful, but what was with the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth?

At first, Xiao Yuanzhi thought she had seen incorrectly.

She had only just arrived here, after all. She should not maliciously suspect others without evidence.

She was still willing to believe that most people in this world were good.

Wei Zisu and that goddamned operations manager were exceptions, of course.

However, after observing Yan’er carefully, Xiao Yuanzhi became certain.

Yan’er was definitely pretending to cry.

Not only that, she was performing an entire rehearsed routine.

Xiao Yuanzhi felt helpless.

Even if they were only sisters on the surface, Yan’er should at least put some genuine effort into the performance!

Who would believe such a halfhearted act?

Next, Xiao Yuanzhi demonstrated on the spot what real crying acting looked like.

First, she continued from Yan’er’s topic.

She explained that after losing her memory, she could no longer remember anyone. She had no idea what she had experienced before.

In any case, she made her circumstances sound as miserable as possible.

At the appropriate moments, she even choked back several sobs.

Tears rapidly gathered in her eyes but stubbornly refused to fall. At the same time, she wore an expression of someone forcing herself to remain strong.

The sight was enough to make anyone’s heart ache and fill them with the urge to pull her into their arms.

Yan’er stared at her in a daze.

She had little experience with the world and had spent nearly all her life inside the manor, with very little contact with outsiders.

Seeing Xiao Yuanzhi behave this way, she completely believed her story.

Eventually, Xiao Yuanzhi’s performance even moved Yan’er into crying for real.

Xiao Yuanzhi patted Yan’er’s back as she held her and softened her voice to comfort her.

“There, there. Don’t cry.”

Tears and snot streamed down Yan’er’s face as she sobbed.

“Little Junior Sister, boohoohoo, you’ve truly suffered so much! I swear, boohoohoo, I’ll never report your daily whereabouts to Eldest Senior Sister again! Boohoohoo…”

Xiao Yuanzhi’s ears twitched.

Huh?

What was this?

So Yan’er had been a little spy all along?

Under ordinary circumstances, Xiao Yuanzhi would already have kicked Yan’er away.

But at that moment, she was exceptionally magnanimous. She continued patting Yan’er’s back.

“It’s all right. That’s all in the past, and I don’t remember it anyway.”

Yan’er raised her head and wiped away her tears.

“Although Little Junior Sister usually looks quite annoying, I know you have a kind heart.”

Xiao Yuanzhi smiled.

Inwardly, she wanted to spit in disgust.

Only an idiot would believe her.

Yan’er looked at Xiao Yuanzhi again and continued seriously, “But for some inexplicable reason, you’re still extremely irritating. So irritating that people want to hit you.”

“…”

Xiao Yuanzhi was speechless.

What was she supposed to say to that?

She continued forcing a smile.

“But Senior Sister Yan’er never hit me, did you? Otherwise, how could I still be perfectly fine?”

Yan’er nodded, strongly agreeing with Xiao Yuanzhi’s words.

“That’s true.”

The next second, Yan’er added, “But that’s only because I can’t beat you.”

Her tone even carried a hint of grievance.

Xiao Yuanzhi was rendered speechless once again.

Fine.

So Yan’er had only refrained from beating her because she could not win.

Had Yan’er been stronger, would Xiao Yuanzhi even still be alive?

Xiao Yuanzhi felt increasingly concerned about her situation.

There was Wei Zisu in front of her, and now Yan’er was here as well.

It seemed she would need to make some careful plans.

For example, she could begin by approaching some of her fellow disciples and winning them over.
