Re:Library

The bathroom was shrouded in mist, and despite it being summer, Zhao Mingyue had deliberately turned on the heat lamp, making the temperature inside very high.

She was deliberately taking care of Bai Yu, hoping to warm her up in this way, even if it was only for a short time.

Standing in the bathroom, Zhao Mingyue took off her thin coat and placed it in the basket. She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, which was probably a size too small, clinging to her body and highlighting her perfect upper body curves.

Zhao Mingyue was not old, not even twenty years old, but her figure was already quite impressive. The curves were proud without being too large and disproportionate, her waist was slender and could be grasped with a hand, her neck was long and elegant, and her skin was as smooth as cream.

It was really too hot in the bathroom, and Zhao Mingyue’s cheeks were sweating. She took hold of the hem of her shirt and gently took it off, then gently removed her convenience store work pants, revealing her long, straight legs directly in Bai Yu’s line of sight.

Bai Yu had seen her fair share of tough situations. She had killed many enchanting women, and although she had never studied their bodies, she could now be sure that none of them, in terms of appearance or figure, could compare to Zhao Mingyue.

Heaven knows why this girl had such a perfect figure at such a young age. A little more would seem too plump, a little less too slender, every part was so perfect, perfect to the point of envy and jealousy. It made one think that it was unfair of the heavens to put such a carefully crafted perfect doll among these mass-produced goods.

Bai Yu looked down at her own chest, then at Zhao Mingyue’s, her eyebrows furrowed, and she felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.

It’s also worth mentioning that Zhao Mingyue gave Bai Yu the impression that her perfect figure did not have an excessive sense of mature charm, but rather the greenness of a young girl.

After all, no matter what, Zhao Mingyue was just a high school girl.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyue’s hands were behind her back, holding the clasp of her bra, when she suddenly felt something and turned her head to look at Bai Yu.

“Um, do you want to take off your clothes? Do you need my help?”

Her cheeks flushed, even with Zhao Mingyue’s personality, it was inevitable to feel shy when being watched while undressing, her cheeks burning hot.

She bit her lower lip gently, her eyes seemed to ripple like water, her long eyelashes trembling, and she blinked, “Hey, Bai Yu?”

Bai Yu looked up, and without any movement, the bloodstained white dress she was wearing fell off her body, turning into countless blood threads that disappeared into the cracks in the floor.

“No need.” Bai Yu also spoke softly.

The atmosphere in the bathroom began to change gradually. Not to mention Zhao Mingyue, even Bai Yu felt very awkward, a completely indescribable feeling that she had never experienced before.

It felt like her heart was beating very fast.

Of course, she wouldn’t blush, she had no blood.

To be precise, she didn’t have a heart either, so whether her heart was beating or not didn’t matter to her, but this strange feeling just appeared.

At this moment, both pairs of eyes were looking at each other.

Compared to Zhao Mingyue’s figure, Bai Yu’s body was much more slender.

Mingyue always called her “sister”, but if one were to judge by their figures alone, she would be the one to fit the role of elder sister, and Bai Yu could only be the younger sister.

There was no helping it. In this regard, Bai Yu was far behind her, almost out of reach.

After taking off her dress, Bai Yu was not immediately exposed. Her body was still wrapped in layers of bandages, which, like the dress she had taken off, were all formed from blood threads.

Bai Yu walked barefoot to the front of the bathtub, raised her left foot, and tried to put it in. She didn’t know what reaction she would have as a ghost taking a hot bath.

However, when her foot stepped into the hot water that was still steaming, all she felt was coldness, still coldness.

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes as she turned her back on Zhao Mingyue, it seemed that this method didn’t work.

The coldness of a ghost came from deep within the soul, and hot water did not alleviate it.

Zhao Mingyue’s voice came from behind her, clearly nervous, “Is it working?”

Bai Yu hesitated for half a second, looked back at her, and then nodded, “Mm.”

“That’s good, as long as it works.” Zhao Mingyue’s face showed a sweet, heartfelt smile.

Bai Yu stepped into the bathtub with both feet, slowly soaking her body, but to her, it felt like she was bathing in an ice cold spring rather than hot water.

The bandages on her body gradually unraveled, revealing the real parts of her body underneath.

Completely bloodless, frighteningly pale with a faint blue hue, her body was covered in black lines related to the meridians, but they looked like cracks.

Bai Yu turned her head away, not continuing to watch Zhao Mingyue undress. She was thinking about why she was doing such a stupid thing. Before this, she had never heard of a ghost needing to take a bath.

‘This is to improve my relationship with Zhao Mingyue and complete my mission.’ Bai Yu told herself in her heart, repeating it over and over to convince herself.

At this time, Bai Yu suddenly felt a foot step in behind her.

Zhao Mingyue put her hands on Bai Yu’s shoulders and also stepped into the bathtub. The bathtub was big enough, and Bai Yu’s body was small enough, otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough room for the two of them to soak together.

It was just that the position was a bit awkward. After Zhao Mingyue came in, she sat behind Bai Yu, and Bai Yu was almost sitting on her legs, leaning against her arms, being gently held by her.

She was a bit afraid to lean back because if she did, the astonishing touch would make her a bit flustered. She wasn’t stupid; she knew what was behind her.

“Your body is still so cold, does this help?”

Bai Yu was trying to avoid it, but Zhao Mingyue took the initiative to hug her, holding her in her arms.

It wasn’t until then that Bai Yu realized why this girl insisted on washing together, she wanted to use her own body temperature, or so-called “human energy,” to help her warm up.

After Zhao Mingyue hugged her, Bai Yu really felt a bit of warmth.

“Mingyue, be careful, if you keep holding me like this, there might be a problem.”

“Is it that I will be unlucky? I heard that if a person gets too close to a ghost, they will be unlucky, but it’s okay, I’m already unlucky enough. If I were really a lucky person, then my family wouldn’t have had an accident, so I’m already a disaster star. I don’t care about this bad luck.” Zhao Mingyue whispered in Bai Yu’s ear.

“No, I mean, if you continue this, you might catch a cold tomorrow.”

“Ah, this…” Zhao Mingyue scratched her cheek.

“Let go, the hot water is enough.”

“Alright.”

After that, the atmosphere fell silent. Bai Yu didn’t know what to say, and Zhao Mingyue didn’t speak for a while.

After a while, Zhao Mingyue took the initiative to speak, “Bai Yu, do you know? Although we met through such a terrifying event, I don’t regret coming into contact with that world. On the contrary, I’m grateful for the task that night.”

“Why?”

“Because it let me meet you.”

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“No, not afraid. My subconscious tells me that we will become very, very good friends. Thank you for saving my life and for the sense of security you bring me.”

Helping Bai Yu tidy up her messy hair, Zhao Mingyue was also surprised that she could actually touch a ghost’s body, which was a good thing. Bai Yu was so cute but covered in blood, her hair so messy. If she could help her tidy up, even if she was a ghost, she would be a cute fierce ghost.

It’s just that Bai Yu didn’t know Zhao Mingyue’s thoughts, otherwise she would have slipped away.

A fierce ghost should look like a fierce ghost, not cutely cute and without any sense of oppression.

“Mingyue.”

“Hmm?”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking in your head. Do you know what you’re doing? We’ve only known each other for two days.”

“Of course I know, but what does that matter? You’re nice to me, and I’m nice to you. Maybe when you really want to kill me, you’ll remember how nice I was to you and go soft and let me go.” Zhao Mingyue half-joked.

Bai Yu didn’t speak. She admitted that she was somewhat unable to understand this girl. Even if she was insensitive, she shouldn’t be doing this kind of thing. Was she really not afraid at all?

Why did she trust her so much… Bai Yu really couldn’t understand.
