The Perfect Heroine wants to Possess me {English Translation}

Chapter 23

The wind passed through the unusually silent room without a sound, even the rustling tree branches outside the window ceased their movement.

Embarrassment twirled wildly in the small ward, swirling smoke in Ji Xiao's face unabashedly.

Ji Xiao hastily extricated herself from Qiao Ni's embrace, explaining, "It's not what you think!"

"I understand, I understand. Young people, falling in love at first sight is normal. Moreover, it's a hero saving a beauty, isn't it?" Hao Hui chimed in, leaning against the door frame with a playful smile. She seemed to be relishing the spectacle.

Whether Qiao Ni was pricked in her thoughts or not, she looked at Hao Hui with embarrassment and irritation. Her small face turned crimson with shame.

Gone was the former arrogance, replaced by a hand tightly twisted under the quilt.

"Little classmate, are you a frequent hero saving the damsel in distress?" teased Hao Hui.

A hint of peppermint fragrance wafted through the air, leaving a cool sensation on Ji Xiao's skin. Wei Qingyu still stood expressionless outside the door, her turquoise eyes colder than when Ji Xiao first saw her.

Suddenly, Ji Xiao felt her heart race like never before. This feeling didn't surface even when faced with Hao Hui's mocking comments just moments ago.

A sense of anxiety enveloped Ji Xiao, as she inexplicably worried whether Wei Qingyu had also misunderstood her.

"I..."

"Qiao Ni!"

Just as Ji Xiao was about to explain to Wei Qingyu, a familiar voice echoed from the door.

Qi Qi rushed into the ward anxiously, squeezing through the gap between Wei Qingyu and Hao Hui. Fang Yiming followed closely behind, clearly out of breath.

Ji Xiao looked at Qi Qi in surprise, asking, "Why are you here?"

However, Qi Qi seemed to brush off Ji Xiao's questions, heading straight to Qiao Ni's bedside. She expressed concern, saying, "Qiao Ni, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable? Would you like a thorough check-up?"

Qiao Ni, observing Qi Qi standing before her, furrowed her brows, lifted her hand to push away her hand on her forehead, and firmly said, "Don't come near me, stay away!"

What astonished Ji Xiao was Qi Qi's unexpected response to Qiao Ni's behavior. She withdrew her hand, undisturbed, and calmly inquired, "Then tell me, are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Qiao Ni curtly replied, wrapping herself in the quilt, turning away, and ignoring Qi Qi.

Undeterred, Qi Qi gazed at her turned back, retrieving a red apple from her pocket. She remarked, "Did you want to try an apple? I bought it from the cafeteria at noon. I tried one, and it was quite sweet."

Upon hearing Qi Qi's words, Qiao Ni, who had just experienced physical strain, couldn't help but lick her dry lips.

After a while, the little girl covered her head and uttered a muffled "Yeah." from under the quilt.

Sunlight streamed diagonally from the window, casting a golden glow in Qi Qi's eyes, where a faint smile appeared.

She picked up the medical knife that Hao Hui hadn't yet put away, sat on a chair, and started peeling the apple.

Qi Qi, taller and with a more shapely figure than Ji Xiao, elegantly crossed her long legs, exuding beauty and allure.

Ji Xiao observed from a distance, even catching a whiff of the wild rose fragrance emanating from Qi Qi's body. The scent was unconventional, not as refined as domestic roses but rather wild and untamed.
