Chapter 15.1: Revealing the Truth
Jian Sichun straightened her back, staring directly at Shi Hai’s face with a stern expression, much like a criminal awaiting a judge’s sentence.
She thought that being alone with Shi Hai was difficult to control herself, but she just had to hold out until Shi Hai’s mother returned!
She must endure!
“Talking… that’s fine. So, let’s talk about you?”
“Okay!”
Jian Sichun’s nervousness was so evident that her voice rose several notches.
“My name is Jian Sichun! I’m twenty years old! I’m a second-year student in the animation department of the Art Academy!”
“My interests include drawing (lewd) pictures, cosplay, singing, and dancing. My special skill is high-intensity gaming livestreams!”
“I’m 165cm tall, weigh 48kg, and from top to bottom I’m eighty–”
“Stop!”
Shi Hai quickly interrupted.
He almost heard numbers that would be forever etched in his mind.
“We’re not on a blind date; there’s no need to be so formal…”
Besides, even on a blind date, no one would report their measurements.
Jian Sichun revealed all her personal information primarily to let Shi Hai know about her hobbies.
“By the way, you’re in the animation department?”
Here it comes!
That curious look in his eyes!
Their connection began because they shared common interests!
When it came to discussing anything related to the otaku world, Jian Sichun prided herself on being able to talk for days without repeating herself.
After all, she was a genuine otaku.
Jian Sichun always loved playing games and watching anime, and she also enjoyed challenging hardcore games and niche games, creating and uploading strategy videos.
In her past life, Jian Sichun was an online content creator with over a million followers, focusing on livestreaming and video uploads.
Shi Hai acted as her content planner, scriptwriter, and video editor.
They were a team, occasionally including Shi Hai’s little sister and mother in their vlogs, making their channel lively and engaging.
“That’s right! I’m in the animation department! I’m very good at drawing!”
“That’s impressive.”
Although Shi Hai also liked watching anime and playing games, he wouldn’t necessarily call himself an otaku.
Shi Hai just enjoyed ‘reading stories.’
He could watch anime with Jian Sichun, watch TV dramas with his mother, read web novels alone, and often visit the library to find regular novels.
He was interested in any story that captured his attention.
“So, you wear an eye patch because of this? Are you imitating a character from an anime?”
“Uh, actually, this eye patch is…”
“If it’s a sensitive topic, you don’t have to tell me.”
“It’s not that… I’ll take it off and show you.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes, it’s fine if it’s you.”
Jian Sichun removed her eye patch and lifted her bangs.
Then, what appeared before Shi Hai was…
An orange-yellow iris, shimmering faintly with a golden hue.
“Just to clarify, I’m not wearing colored contact lenses!”
“Yeah, colored contacts don’t look this vivid…”
Colored contact lenses in real life are more like enhancements to one’s natural eye color. Many times, if you don’t look closely, you might not even notice them.
But Jian Sichun’s right eye was too striking.
“So, it’s real heterochromia?”
“To be precise, it’s called heterochromia iridum. It’s quite common in wild animals, but very rare in humans. Only 0.01% of people have it.”
This little factoid was something Shi Hai had told her in the future.
“So, wearing the eye patch isn’t because your vision is impaired?”
“No, I’ve had it checked many times as a child. The doctors said it doesn’t affect my vision, and I don’t have color blindness. It’s a congenital condition caused by genetic factors.”
