Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 317 - 185: The Confrontation Between Senior and Junior Sisters (Part 2)

The old man surprisingly lent his exclusive mount to this maiden he met for the first time.

Ji Lingruo was delighted by this, happily leapt onto the old crane’s back, bowed to the old man again, and then flew far away on the celestial crane.

...

"Senior sister, teaching one to fish is better than giving them a fish. I teach you the Holding Tube Skill for you to learn the method, not the words."

You Su withdrew his hand, straightened up, and pretended to be serious, "There are over three thousand characters in the Five Continents’ writing system. If I teach you each character by hand, when would it ever be completed?"

The girl in the white dress sat by the desk with her head lowered, her gaze pitiful:

"Is junior brother tired of this?"

Of course, You Su was not tired. It just felt somewhat inappropriate to teach like this hand in hand, so he quickly explained:

"No, it’s just that I believe with senior sister’s understanding, you should be able to fully grasp it by yourself without needing me to guide every stroke."

Moreover, the last time Third Elder was here, he clearly felt that senior sister’s handwriting already had a touch of elegance.

"Then... just a few more words to finish this poem, and then I’ll practice on my own."

Fairy Wangshu compromised, tracing a stroke over the collection of poems.

"That’s fine too."

You Su nodded and put the poetry book back in the Qiankun Bag, observing with his Divine Sense, only to find that senior sister had chosen a lengthy twenty-four-word poem.

He couldn’t distinguish whether senior sister was intentional or careless, and could only sigh secretly before bending down and saying, "Let’s begin, senior sister."

Fairy Wangshu obediently grasped the pen, moving her fair jade hand towards You Su, as if fearing he couldn’t find it blindly.

You Su naturally held the senior sister’s cool hand, guiding her in moving it continuously over the vertical and coarse brush.

Due to leaning down, their bodies were very close; although not directly touching, You Su could still smell the faint, gentle fragrance on senior sister, making his mind peaceful and couldn’t help but want to smell more.

The lazy autumn afternoon sun pierced through the mottled forest leaves, casting lovely patterns on people’s bodies. You Su and his senior sister’s teaching was in full swing, both silently focused on carving strokes under the brush.

From afar, it was truly a harmonious and beautiful scene of senior sister and junior brother enjoying mutual company.

"What are you... doing?"

!

You Su suddenly released his grip and stood up, looking toward the well-known source of the voice.

In the blurred vision, a vivid shade of blue came into focus.

You Su’s mind nearly went blank; the person he had longed for finally appeared in front of him, yet seeing them again was not as he imagined.

Fairy Wangshu also raised her head, her eyes curiously examining the suddenly appearing maiden.

Ji Lingruo was somewhat in disbelief, her nose tingling with emotion. She never thought what her sister said would be true, as she always assumed it was merely a diversionary tactic from her sister.

The path up to Lotus Peak was not easy; guided by her sword command, she climbed arduously, her skirt torn with a few rips, just to give her longing senior brother a surprise.

But what her senior brother gave back to her was a shock.

The maiden’s eyes quickly reddened as she angrily turned and left.

"Junior sister!"

You Su called out repeatedly, standing up to chase after her.

The maiden walked with firm steps, but not quickly, quickly caught up by You Su in just a few strides.

You Su blocked Ji Lingruo’s path with delight, "Junior sister, you’ve finished your baptism!"

You Su’s appearance of joy seemed as though he was entirely oblivious to why Ji Lingruo turned away.

Ji Lingruo stared with tear-filled eyes; she originally thought having one sister was her limit, but she hadn’t expected that after a month of hardship alongside her sister, the remaining time was enough for this blind man and his senior sister to reach this stage.

"Move aside!"

Ji Lingruo said coldly, angrily, aiming to pass by You Su.

Of course, You Su was unwilling, blocking her left and right.

"Junior sister, what’s wrong? Why are you leaving right after arriving?"

Pretending ignorance was the best strategy You Su could think of at the moment, but it clearly wasn’t effective. He regretted his inconsistent behavior, realizing that had he refused senior sister... this situation wouldn’t have arisen at all.

Even if he truly had a clear conscience, explaining things to the current junior sister would still be wishful thinking.

"Why should you care whether I leave or not?"

The maiden’s coldness pained You Su; despite occasional disagreements over three years of interaction, junior sister had never been this cruel.

"A reunion so hard-earned; I wouldn’t easily let junior sister walk away again."

You Su had no choice but to resort to being a rogue. For now, he could only keep the angered woman close, then slowly work from there. If she really left in a fit of rage, bringing her back would be nearly impossible.

Ji Lingruo made a cold humph, stomping her foot in anger, saying:

"You Su! Don’t be so shameless! I shall leave today no matter what!"

The maiden’s resoluteness left You Su full of self-reproach, with no means to respond.

At this moment, a clear and cold voice suddenly came:

"Junior brother, you need not stop her. She’s saying something against her heart; she truly doesn’t wish to leave."

Once the words finished, the two young individuals stared at one another.

The words completely angered Ji Lingruo; she turned and glared at the white-dressed, elegant woman, feeling her words were incredibly cutting?

"Move aside!"

"I won’t!" You Su was set on seeing his roguery through to the end.

"You Su! Don’t force me!"

Ji Lingruo hadn’t thought that her reunion with her senior brother would be like this, causing tears to nearly fall, a mix of sorrow and anger.

"Junior sister... listen to my explanation." You Su could not confront Ji Lingruo directly, so he had to gently persuade her with a soft tone.
