Ye Qing awkwardly grabbed Gu Xuanyu’s collar, her wrist sinking into the soft, tempting curves of the silver-haired girl’s body, as if she had just stepped out of the oven, wrapped in a warmth that enveloped Ye Qing’s small hand.
The next moment, Ye Qing quickly pulled her hand back, trying to avoid looking at the enticing lines of the silver-haired girl. But the girl placed her hand on Ye Qing’s snow-white collarbone, gently caressing it, as if savoring the touch of Ye Qing’s hand.
“Ye Qing, you’re the one who started this. You’re the one who has to take responsibility,~”
Ye Qing knew what Gu Xuanyu meant but tried to play dumb.
“Re-responsibility for what?”
“Well, that’s…”
Before she could finish, the silver-haired girl leapt up, flipping the petite girl off her waist and pinning her down, looking down at her with a captivating gaze that was as intoxicating as fine red wine, with a hint of aggression, tracing down the alluring swan neck of the black-haired girl…
Somehow, the door had been locked, and the phones were turned off. The only thing that could disturb the girls now was the cool moonlight pouring through the window. But when the milky glow fell on the back of the slender girl, it reflected a faint blush.
Gu Xuanyu’s silver aura, symbolizing the magical girl, was once again tinted with warmth and tingling sensations. The black-haired girl couldn’t help but blush, her eyes becoming hazy, and her restrained limbs gradually losing strength.
“W-we should take a bath together.”
Ye Qing’s whisper was so soft it was almost inaudible, as if not meant for the silver-haired girl to hear, but more of a self-reassurance—perhaps I’ve tried to resist, but she’s just too aggressive…
But at this moment, Ye Qing knew that she was completely at the girl’s mercy, a lamb ready for the slaughter.
The vulnerable pose was laid bare before the silver-haired girl. Her slightly parted lips revealed her true feelings, and her feet, secretly tracing the back of the silver-haired girl’s knees, symbolized her reluctance and desire.
Their hot breaths mingled, and perhaps after a few more exchanges, her attitude would completely soften, yielding to Gu Xuanyu’s demands. Her body, however, was already eagerly responding.
“At this point, taking a bath doesn’t matter, anyway, we’ll both get messy.”
“B-but I’m not ready yet.”
Ye Qing closed her eyes tightly, like a newborn fawn, not yet able to walk, her wet fur trembling, her body shivering from either cold or fear.
Now, she could only pray that the silver-haired girl’s desire hadn’t completely taken over the gentle part of her heart, hoping that her words might be heard even a little.
“Ye Qing, how much longer do you need to prepare? If you’re not willing, I’ll wait for you.”
Gu Xuanyu’s gaze was so gentle, encouraging Ye Qing to express her true feelings. She knew Ye Qing was usually straightforward, willing when willing, unwilling when unwilling. The turning point would come.
And she didn’t want Ye Qing’s remaining resistance to become a regret on their first night.
Ye Qing was stunned, almost ready to agree with the enchanting girl before her, but the words that finally escaped her lips were still unclear:
“I don’t know…”
“Is that so…”
Gu Xuanyu’s eyelashes fluttered, momentarily hiding the sadness in her eyes, but she quickly smiled again, her warmth melting away the winter chill.
“You don’t need to say anything, I understand you.”
But I still want to say, I like you, Ye Qing.
Ye Qing’s pupils trembled, her slightly parted lips quivering, but she couldn’t find the words to respond.
Only then did she realize how slow she had been, slow to the point of not knowing how to respond to sincerity.
“Is it not the kind of like between sisters, right?”
“I like you.”
Gu Xuanyu didn’t offer any explanation, only repeating softly, placing her palm over Ye Qing’s gradually relaxing hand, her agile fingers slipping through Ye Qing’s, interlocking with hers.
In that moment, Ye Qing felt a long-dormant feeling suddenly awakened—a feeling she had forgotten for three years, a stirring for the shy girl who had confessed to her with a candlelit message.
Although she hadn’t heard clearly, she had read the answer from the girl’s lips and eyes long ago, and even then, her heart had been in chaos.
This tangled heart had been hidden for over a thousand days, only now breaking free from her frozen heart, sending ripples through her soul.
Perhaps I had always known, but I was just afraid to accept it… Perhaps someone like me, so reclusive and ordinary, could be loved by such a perfect girl.
Perhaps I just wanted to give silently, watching her fly into a dreamlike sky, unwilling to be the anchor that holds her back. So I watched her become a magical girl…
But that bond with her was so real. When I saw her fragile body disappear into the magical girl’s white light, the pain swept through my heart…
Why not let her be wild just once? What’s the use of thinking so much? Just let everything go wild.
“Xuanyu, do what you want.”
Ye Qing spoke softly, no longer trembling or trying to push away the silver-haired girl. She submitted, burying her face in the girl’s embrace, letting her take control.
Yet her clouded amber eyes spoke of her confusion, her readiness not yet complete, but tired of the indecision, she handed the choice back to Gu Xuanyu.
This was the first time Ye Qing had left everything to Gu Xuanyu’s decision. Before, Gu Xuanyu would always ask Ye Qing before making a choice, but now, though the feeling was strange, she didn’t hesitate.
Gu Xuanyu gently cupped Ye Qing’s flushed cheeks, her thumb softly brushing the girl’s lips, claiming her target. Then, closing her eyes, she pressed her lips down, following her instincts.
Not as sweet as imagined, perhaps it was the bitterness of youth. Her kiss was not clumsy, the technique so raw that it took a long time to find the courage to part the girl’s soft lips, only conveying her feelings through the warmth.
Being this close, even without their lips fully entwining, Ye Qing felt a slight breathlessness. She began to breathe heavily, seeking air, but all she got was the sweet, honeyed breath of the silver-haired girl.
Her breathing grew rapid, her heart racing, each beat pumping blood through her body with a force that left her exhausted.
Was she truly seeking the air to relieve her breathlessness, or was she willing to drown in a deeper layer of breathlessness?
Gu Xuanyu made the choice for her, finally breaking through that last bit of hesitation, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, freely and wildly riding the waves of her heart, chasing the little black fish that had always been with her.
I like you, Ye Qing.
I won’t chase you too hard this time. Let’s just keep it light.
We’ll explore the rest later.
