Chapter 89 Juniors
Chapter 89 Junior (Two Chapters Combined)
Bai Yuze emerged from the public restroom, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
A moment of hesitation flashed across his face, but it was quickly replaced by a resolute determination. Why all the fuss? It's just meeting a young girl.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Bai Youqing, saying that he might be back late tonight and should go to bed early.
Don't stay up late.
Just as I was about to turn off my phone, I saw several messages pop up in WeChat.
Bai Yuze smiled wryly after reading it, turned off his phone, and switched it to Do Not Disturb mode.
I hailed a taxi, heading straight to Yeqiu City First Hospital.
Upon arrival, Bai Yuze did not rush inside, because today he was not there as a teacher, but as Violet.
Around one or two in the morning,
The hospital was quiet at night, with white lights shining in the corridors, and several nurses were still on their night shift at the nurses' station.
We chatted for a while out of boredom, but soon ran out of things to talk about.
At that moment, no one noticed that the camera next to ward number 4 suddenly flickered.
A purple figure pushed open the door to Chen Yao's hospital room.
The sound was very soft, almost inaudible.
But this slight noise,
It seems the girl in the ward was still awakened.
She first called out in confusion, "Is that Mother?"
In the pitch-black ward, only a few red lights flickered by the bedside. No one answered her, "Did I hear wrong?" the girl said, and then seemed to close her eyes again.
The girl lying in the hospital bed could clearly hear the breathing of another person.
Fear inevitably arose in her heart.
Since losing sensation in her legs and becoming a disabled person, she outwardly maintains an indifferent demeanor.
That was all so that her parents wouldn't worry about her.
In fact, she began to feel extremely insecure, precisely because of this,
She could detect even the slightest changes in the ward and be startled awake.
However, unlike ordinary people, she did not panic. Instead, she tried to put the other person at ease while preparing to reach for a fruit knife from the table next to her.
"Xiao Yao, it's me."
That simple sentence instantly vanished the sense of crisis that had been surfacing in Chen Yao's heart.
Instead, there was unparalleled excitement and joy.
"Sister Violet? Am I dreaming?!"
Chen Yao asked uncertainly, beginning to wonder if she was dreaming.
Thinking this, Chen Yao reached out and pinched her thigh hard, muttering to herself, "It doesn't hurt. I guess I'm dreaming..."
After saying that, Chen Yao crawled into bed, turned over, closed her eyes, and refused to look at Violet.
Violet smiled helplessly, knowing full well that Chen Yao was angry with her and didn't want to turn her head to see her.
Good evening, I hope I didn't disturb your sleep.
Violet first placed several bunches of fresh and bright lilies into a vase, then sat down on a chair next to the hospital bed, looking at the sulking girl on the bed with a hint of doting in her eyes. Back then, Chen Yao was the youngest in the team, with a cheerful and lively personality. She was the team's source of joy and also the team's darling.
Chen Yao didn't speak, but the unusual movements under the covers revealed the unease in the girl's heart.
"Want to eat an ugly orange?" Violet placed the peeled orange in front of the girl and waved it around.
The girl was quite decisive, closing her eyes immediately, but her bobbing throat betrayed her once again.
A few minutes later, Violet beside her let out a long sigh, "Oh well, it seems Xiao Yao is still angry with me and doesn't want to talk to me. In that case, I won't disturb her sleep."
Although the girl's eyes were closed, her ears were listening intently to the sounds coming from the hospital room.
Originally, Chen Yao thought the other party just wanted to scare her, but a few minutes later, she clearly heard the chair push back, as if someone stood up from the chair and started walking towards the door. They walked slowly, as if waiting for someone's response.
However, Chen Yao remained silent, her mind in turmoil. She wanted to call out to Violet, but she also harbored resentment and displeasure at Violet's prolonged absence.
With the tide turning and the tide rising, five or six minutes passed, and the figure standing at the door seemed to have truly given up. He sighed deeply and closed the door to the ward.
The moment the ward door closed, Chen Yao suddenly regretted it. What if Sister Violet finally mustered up the courage to see her this time, but she ignored her and mistakenly thought that she was angry with her and unwilling to forgive her? What if Sister Violet never came to see her again?
Chen Yao, who was under the covers, panicked instantly. She tried to prop herself up against the headboard with both hands.
Just then, a fair and delicate arm appeared behind her and slowly helped her up.
"Sister Violet, you're teasing me again!!!"
Chen Yao knew perfectly well that this was a ploy by Violet to play hard to get, a tactic Violet often used to tease her.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. Which of these oranges do you want to eat first?"
With a wave of her hand, Violet instantly illuminated the ward with pale purple magical light. A dozen peeled oranges floated beside Chen Yao, within easy reach of her.
"No, I want Sister Violet to feed me personally before I'll consider whether I should forgive her."
Chen Yao shook her head, blinked her eyes, and opened her mouth wide, waiting for Violet to feed her.
"You're already an adult, yet you're still so childish." Violet had no choice; she felt indebted to the other person.
"Sister Violet, you yourself said you would take care of me for the rest of your life."
Chen Yao, that girl, couldn't even eat oranges properly. After finishing the orange in one bite, she stuck out her pink tongue and licked her finger.
Then, she revealed a lovesick look and savored it carefully.
Violet had never seen anything like this before.
From the moment she became a magical girl until now, she has rarely let anyone touch her, even Iris was teased by the other party after becoming the Abyss Demoness.
"Oh dear, Sister Violet, your face is red."
Chen Yao looked at Violet in surprise, as if she had discovered some great secret.
"No wonder you wouldn't let us touch you back then."
"I'm not feeding you anymore, you can eat by yourself," Violet said irritably.
Chen Yao just chuckled as she watched. In the past, when facing an angry Violet, she was filled with awe and fear, but now she suddenly found that Senior Violet was quite cute when she was angry.
Thinking it over, she quickly took out her phone and snapped several photos of the other person, then set the cutest one as her wallpaper.
"Well, Xiao Yao, it hasn't been that long since I last saw you, and your wings have grown so strong?"
Violet slightly raised her eyes and pinched the other's ear a little harder. Chen Yao used to be so obedient, so much better than Bai Youqing. She'd listen to whatever she was told, never going west if told to go east, never throwing a chicken if told to throw a dog!
"Ouch, I was wrong, I was wrong, Sister Violet, it hurts!" Chen Yao cried out, her face contorted in pain.
"They're really like dogs that will climb on the roof and tear off the tiles if you don't discipline them for three days."
Violet loosened her grip; she had only gently rubbed it, ultimately unable to bring herself to use too much force.
"Sister Violet, where have you been all year? I've tried every way to contact you, but I can't find you anywhere."
After a while of commotion, both sides fell silent.
Chen Yao leaned slightly towards Violet, gently grasped her hand, her gaze flickered for a moment, then held her hand tightly and asked the question that had been on her mind.
Even though she didn't want to face the past, when the issue was brought to the table, Chen Yao still hoped that Violet could give her a plausible explanation, even if it was just a lie. But she also knew that Violet wouldn't lie to them.
The latter froze for a moment, trying to pull away, but was held firmly.
Violet turned her head to look at the other girl, her expression somewhat inscrutable. She reached out and wiped away the tears on the girl's face. "Don't cry. Let me take you for a walk."
"Sister Violet, I know you're in a difficult position, but I really want to know the truth. Every time I close my eyes, all I see are the lifeless eyes of Sister Yinhua and the others. I know it's impossible for me to avenge them now, but I just can't run away, I can't stop thinking about them."
I really can't do it—.
With a loud cry, Chen Yao hugged Violet's body and burst into tears.
Fortunately, Violet had set up a magical barrier in the ward before entering, preventing sounds from reaching outside.
Tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto the pale purple dress of the violet-clad woman, the tears seeping in—
The girl nestled into Violet's arms and burst into hoarse sobs.
At this moment, she completely abandoned her previous "pretend appearance" and truly revealed her vulnerable and helpless state, her fear, dread, and anxiety.
Violet's hand, which had been hovering in the air, slowly fell down, gently stroking Chen Yao's soft black hair.
Ten minutes later, the girl lifted her head from his embrace and wiped her reddened eyes.
"I'm sorry, Sister Violet, I'm much better now. I'm already very grateful that you came."
Violet took a comb from the cabinet next to her and quietly combed Chen Yao's hair. She said softly, "This year, I've done a lot of wrong things, which is why I haven't had the face to see you. Many things have developed beyond my control."
"Sister Violet, are you a witch?"
The girl raised her head and, for the first time, stared directly at the senior Violet, whom she had always respected, admired, and revered.
....no."
"That's alright then, you'll still be my Violet sister."
The girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then snuggled into Violet's arms, gently inhaling her delicate fragrance.
At this moment, she seemed to have found a warm harbor where she could dock again.
Violet's lips twitched, but she ultimately didn't utter the words that said she was a witch, not a sorceress.
The two nestled together, and Violet pondered many things, most notably the opening of the Abyss Gate. While in the Abyss, she had been searching for information on this topic. Unfortunately, only the Demoness Dulu knew the secret to opening the Abyss Gate; the others only had the authority to carry out orders.
If the Lord of the Abyss is the game's big boss, then Demoness Yingluo is the evil high priestess, the big boss in the early stages.
Even now, she is still hesitant.
Joining the Abyss was effortless for her; she wasn't originally from this world, but unfortunately, too many people and things in the human world had already become entangled with her.
This path is blocked, but we must protect the entire human world.
That's unlikely, not to mention that Iris has done too much to her.
This eliminated any possibility of information leaks; even killing a few calamity beasts a few days ago had given her an almost unbearable ecstasy.
Even without these factors, she fears future human reckoning, as there have been far too many cases of this happening.
The situation remains unclear, and she intends to maintain the status quo.
Don't believe everything the iris says.
At school, teachers should fulfill their responsibilities to help students achieve good grades.
At the library, fulfill your responsibilities as a senior member and improve Bai Youqing and the others' self-protection abilities.
At home, he fulfilled his duties as an older brother and took good care of his younger sister.
When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. At present, she can only do the former.
At this moment, Chen Yao's playful words interrupted her thoughts, "A year has passed, and Sister Violet still hasn't developed at all. She's still hard and uncomfortable."
Violet wanted to throw the girl onto the bed, but when she reached out, she couldn't bear to hurt her. "Sister Violet, can you take me out to see the stars? I haven't been out at night in a long time."
Chen Yao turned her head to look at the dark night outside the window.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, the stars twinkled, and the shadows of the garden bushes and trees were cast onto the hospital bed.
"Okay, I'll go find a wheelchair."
"I don't want to, I want Sister Violet to hold me."
"No, your current physical condition is not suitable for high-altitude flying; you're prone to catching a cold."
Violet refused without hesitation, not wanting to sit in a wheelchair. She probably wanted to relive the days of flying in the air. The night temperature wasn't too cold, but it was still slightly chilly, something that Chen Yao, a girl who had been confined to her hospital bed for a long time, couldn't withstand.
"Just once, please~ Sister Violet, just give me a magic shield, then I won't catch a cold."
Violet had no choice but to agree.
Under the starry night sky, a slight chill was in the air.
In the sky, the girl, held in Princess Violet's arms, looked down at the trees and buildings with joy. In the past, when she had nothing to do, her favorite thing to do was to fly in the sky, watch the sea of flowers, and appreciate the unique scenery.
Countless tiny sprites filled the night sky, adding a touch of glow to the dark night.
"Sister Violet, look! It's fireflies!"
The girl looked around and began to count the fireflies in the sky one by one.
"One, two, three...wow, so many, there are too many to count."
The girl stared at the fireflies, and Violet stared back at the girl; she hadn't seen the girl's smiling face in a long time.
"Hey, Sister Violet, wait a minute, there's a beautiful sea of flowers over there."
Violet followed the girl's gaze and saw a lush vegetable field in the distance, its heights and slopes a vibrant green, with a patch of golden rapeseed flowers in the center. From afar, it looked like a piece of jade inlaid with a golden leaf.
She brought Chen Yao down from the sky.
The pale yellow rapeseed flowers are exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight; a gentle breeze stirs them into golden waves, filling the air with an intoxicating, rich fragrance.
The girl's slender fingers brushed over each petal of the flower, and she smiled.
She then gently plucked the rapeseed flower and placed it on Violet's ear. "Happy birthday, Violet!"
