Chapter 102: A Sweet Intimacy, and a Troubled Heart

The sweetest wines in the world often require a blend of multiple ingredients to achieve the smoothest, most delicate taste, much like this moment.

A sweet aroma filled their lips and teeth.

It was unclear if the black-haired girl was inherently this delectable, or if she too had become a meticulously crafted sweet wine, now slowly releasing her intoxicating essence under the bartender’s stirring.

Sensing the black-haired girl gradually weakening from lack of oxygen, Gu Xuanyu took a deep breath. She then used this profound kiss to pass her own breath to the girl’s lips.

Upon feeling that subtle coolness, Ye Qing’s tense body relaxed slightly. She gradually matched the silver-haired girl’s rhythm, even finding the leisure to free her hands and wrap them around the girl’s slender back, pulling them even closer.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, compressing their chests and conveying a sense of taut rejection. Yet, this very rejection was proof of their hearts beating in unison at this moment.

Their hearts pounded, causing the girls’ pulses to gradually become indistinguishable. A person only has one heart, on the left side of the body, and when it beats, one side always feels empty.

But in this instant, the other heart pressing close perfectly filled that void.

Their arms were tightly intertwined. After an unknown duration—perhaps the black-haired girl had lost herself in the moment—Gu Xuanyu finally pulled away from her unconscious embrace.

Like a tipsy woman, she opened her wine-red eyes into a narrow, curving slit, secretly observing Ye Qing’s hazy, amber almond eyes.

“Shower?”

“Mm.”

Ye Qing responded softly, her eyes unable to focus for a long time, seemingly still numbed by that brief intimacy. Seeing this, Gu Xuanyu offered a faint smile.

She rose gracefully, sweeping Ye Qing into her arms, and slowly made her way towards the bathroom.

Her steps and arms were so gentle and steady, like a cradle, constantly cradling the petite girl in her embrace.

The girl’s thick black hair flowed through her fingers, gently caressing her skin with each sway, like stroking the soft nape of a black cat, enveloped in its fluffy fur, utterly content.

Before she knew it, Ye Qing had stopped resisting. She even submissively wrapped her arms around Gu Xuanyu’s elegant neck, allowing her to hold her with greater ease.

At this point, there was no need for superfluous shyness. All that was required was to savor the present serenity, lazily close her eyes, nestle into her embrace, and forget all extraneous worries and anxieties.

‘No matter what, tonight she is not that naive, clumsy younger sister, but my lover.’

“Help me undress. I’m too lazy to move.”

“Alrighty~”

***

Meanwhile, on the other side, Liu Qingruo, who lived with Shen Congqing, was diligently working on her short story.

It proved that even without the ‘desire-nullifying’ effect, she could still write words that made hearts race and faces blush, thanks to her exquisite skill.

Yet, she herself remained unmoved, able to type out an entire piece with a perfectly calm and composed expression.

Elsewhere, the blonde girl was casually dressed in a simple camisole, languidly folding clothes in the bathroom.

These included the clothes that had gotten wet that morning, as well as Ye Qing’s clothes.

Not just outer garments, but also intimate apparel.

Even after they were wet, Shen Congqing could faintly catch Ye Qing’s scent, causing her face to flush with embarrassment once again.

‘Who borrows even underwear? This girl is truly…’

“Hey, the playwright agreed!”

Meanwhile, under Liu Qingruo’s relentless barrage of messages, the playwright responsible for the performance finally, helplessly, agreed to her request.

After all, it was just one character, a small plot point; changing it wouldn’t matter much…

As for the Evil Executive… they weren’t a likable character anyway, so it truly didn’t matter.

***

The next day, Ye Qing woke up early, having enough time to get dressed and then go upstairs to wake Shen Congqing.

Liu Qingruo, with dark circles under her eyes, opened the door. It seemed she hadn’t slept at all, her biological clock having completely inverted.

Inside, Shen Congqing was still curled up in bed, a tiny golden furball. Her fluffy blonde hair fanned out over the quilt, the ends slightly curled, as if she had roughly blast-dried it with a hairdryer immediately after washing.

It was clear she harbored a deep resentment towards dampness.

“Teacher Shen? Teacher Shen?”

Ye Qing gently shook the blonde girl through the covers while calling out to her. However, the latter only frowned slightly, shrinking even further into herself, resisting the urge to get up.

Helpless, Ye Qing leaned close to her ear, which was still tucked under the quilt, and whispered in an almost inaudible voice:

“Congqing?”

At that sound, the blonde girl, who had been frowning tightly, immediately opened her eyes. A pair of luminous green eyes quickly focused, then fixed on Ye Qing’s face.

“Ye Qing?”

As the girl sat up, the quilt slid down, revealing her fair, delicate shoulders. Only then did Ye Qing notice she was wearing only a simple camisole, and she quickly pulled the quilt back over her.

Still somewhat dazed, Shen Congqing absently pulled the quilt away. Noticing Ye Qing’s somewhat evasive gaze, she looked down at her own rather revealing attire and offered a knowing smile.

“What’s the big deal? We’re both girls…”

‘Beware of yuri-baiting with the ‘same s*x’ card!’

“No, hurry up and get dressed. I can’t take it.”

“I’m not even shy, why are you so bashful?”

Shen Congqing teased casually, reaching out from under the covers towards the bedside table. However, she quickly realized her current arm span wasn’t enough to reach.

‘Ye Qing, help me get my clothes.’

Ye Qing awkwardly turned her head, glanced at the blonde girl shrinking under the covers, and reluctantly said, “Wouldn’t it be easier if you just sat up?”

Hearing this, Shen Congqing’s pretty face flushed.

“It’s too cold. I want to bring my clothes in to warm them up…”

What seemed like a mere excuse to stay in bed was, in fact, a habit beneficial for health during the cold winter.

If you have a roommate who can, in the dead of winter, sit bolt upright at the sound of an alarm, get out of bed, dress, and then brave the cold wind to buy breakfast, she has most likely transcended the realm of normal people…

But in any case, remember to remind her that getting up too suddenly in winter carries a risk of cerebral infarction (from a doctor’s advice on a music note).

“So troublesome…”

Ye Qing sighed helplessly, tucking Shen Congqing’s haphazard pile of clothes from the bedside table into the warm quilt for her.

Inadvertently, she seemed to glimpse a tempting ‘xiaolongbao’ and a faint shadow line through the slightly open neckline of the camisole, and immediately averted her eyes, unable to remain calm.

‘Damn it, ever since last night, even Teacher Shen has become somewhat impossible to look at directly!’

After Gu Xuanyu had planted that seed of chaos in her lips, Ye Qing’s views on love had been severely shaken. She had once been straight, then perhaps a ‘straight sister,’ until the attack.

Now, whenever similar topics were brought up, the silver-haired girl’s delicate, captivating cherry lips and graceful figure would involuntarily appear in her mind.

Her cheeks grew progressively hotter. Ye Qing quickly slapped her face with both hands, forcing herself to calm down.

‘It’s all that wicked An Yueying’s fault, tricking me into becoming a girl! Now my once healthy views on love are completely messed up!’
