Chapter 23: let’s do it!

Lihua Yu stared at the moist, glossy cherry-colored lips, her mind blank, with only her heart pounding wildly in her chest, as if it wanted to break free from its restraints.

The Strawberry-scent mixed with the unique fragrance of Luo Tianyou, enveloping her completely, leaving her with no trace of resistance—she even felt a faint sense of anticipation.

What is this?

I’m a girl, and Luo Tianyou is also a girl.

Can two girls do this kind of thing?

Can they…

Lihua Yu trembled as she closed her eyes.

A warm, delicate touch spread across her, making her whole body shiver.

From her forehead, a tingling numbness quickly spread.

They didn’t even kiss.

But her heart was beating so fast.

“Mm…”

A faint moan escaped Lihua Yu’s lips uncontrollably, her cheeks flushing as red as a ripe apple.

Luo Tianyou seemed very satisfied with her actions.

She didn’t pull away, but instead nuzzled Lihua Yu’s nose affectionately with the tip of her own, their breaths mingling together, thick with Strawberry-scent.

Her fingers slid from Lihua Yu’s cheek down her slender neck, then to her thin shoulder, exploring with curiosity and longing.

“You’re so soft…”

Luo Tianyou murmured indistinctly, her eyes hazy, as if misted over, pure and alluring.

Lihua Yu felt as if she hadn’t moved at all, yet somehow she found herself pressed up against Luo Tianyou.

Luo Tianyou’s entire body was almost on top of Lihua Yu, her hair brushing against the hollow of Lihua Yu’s neck, sending a wave of ticklish sensation.

Lihua Yu’s mind grew hazy, her body stiff, unsure what to do, yet she slowly softened under the strange comfort and Luo Tianyou’s closeness.

She looked forward to what might happen next.

Cautiously, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Luo Tianyou’s slender waist.

So soft.

So delicate.

It felt like if she squeezed even a little harder, it might break.

She needed to hold and protect her.

“Luo Tianyou…”

Lihua Yu’s voice trembled, full of gentleness.

“Call me Tianyou…”

Luo Tianyou breathed softly by her ear, her tone carrying a hint of spoiled sweetness.

“Ti… Tianyou…”

Lihua Yu stammered out the name, feeling as if her heart might leap out of her throat.

Is this okay?

Isn’t this wrong?

“Good girl~”

Luo Tianyou seemed delighted, rewarding her with another kiss on the cheek, then, like a small animal searching for warmth, she instinctively adjusted herself in Lihua Yu’s embrace, burying her face in the hollow of her neck to enjoy the softness and warmth.

Lihua Yu listened to Luo Tianyou’s soft, almost murmured words, feeling her mind clouding over, useless, as a fierce sense of protectiveness and indescribable excitement grew wildly inside her.

She tightened her embrace, holding Luo Tianyou even closer, her chin resting lightly on the other’s soft hair.

Yes, yes.

The two of them nestled together on the sofa, the golden afterglow of sunset streaming through the window, draping a warm halo over them.

The room was filled with Strawberry-scent and a captivating fragrance.

Their breathing gradually slowed and deepened.

Outside the window, night slowly fell.

As the Administration Bureau gradually restored order, the City lights began to flicker on one by one.

Inside the bedroom, the small Moonlit Liuli was still in deep sleep, regaining her strength.

She probably wouldn’t wake up tonight.

In the living room, the two embracing figures were oblivious to all of this.

The bottle of mineral water with the melted pink pill lay on the floor, the remaining liquid slowly disappearing, and with it, the bottle itself vanished without a trace.

No evidence remained.

The night deepened, the City lights outside forming a sea of stars.

The aftereffects of the S-class Event would take a day or two to fade, and most people had just emerged from the Refuge, grateful to be alive.

Normally, the appearance of an S-class monster Event would destroy an entire City, and few would survive.

But this time, there were zero casualties—a miracle.

—

It was almost dawn.

Lihua Yu was the first to wake.

She opened her eyes and immediately felt the warm softness in her arms, as well as the sensation of something clutching her tightly.

Luo Tianyou was still sleeping sweetly in her embrace, a few strands of her long hair stuck to Lihua Yu’s chin and neck.

Those usually lively violet eyes were closed, long lashes casting butterfly-like shadows, her pink lips slightly parted in defenseless sleep.

As if she could be taken at any moment.

Lihua Yu’s heartbeat quickened again.

Luo Tianyou had captured her heart completely.

“Hiss…”

Lihua Yu sucked in a breath.

It hurt a little.

But it was bearable.

She stayed in that position, motionless, greedily savoring the warmth and weight in her arms.

A sense of fulfillment and a strange possessiveness quietly grew in her heart.

She lowered her head.

Ever so gently, she pressed a tiny kiss.

Just on the forehead.

That was enough.

Lihua Yu closed her eyes, intending to sleep a little longer.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Lihua Yu slowly opened her eyes, unable to fall asleep.

Maybe just a little more?

Just a little bit, just a little.

After all, Luo Tianyou was still sleeping, and Lord Moonlit Liuli was also still asleep in the next room.

But what if she woke up?

She’d just have to gamble that she wouldn’t wake up right away.

…..

The sky gradually brightened.

Morning light seeped through the gap in the curtains, casting a slender beam across the room and stretching directly over the two entwined on the sofa.

Luo Tianyou’s lashes trembled, as if disturbed by the light.

Lihua Yu reached out and gently shielded her eyes, blocking the irritating brightness.

But in the bedroom, there was no one to shield her.

After all, she was alone.

Moonlit Liuli’s golden eyes slowly opened, dazedly surveying her surroundings.

The bed beside her was empty.

Realizing this, she woke up a bit more, memories surfacing in her mind.

She propped herself up, wanting to get out of bed.

However, her shrunken body hadn’t fully adjusted.

Her calves felt weak, and her footing was unsteady.

Thump!

She rolled right off the edge of the bed, landing firmly on the carpet with a dull thud.

It didn’t hurt, but the sudden sensation of falling startled her.

“Ugh…”

Moonlit Liuli grumbled in displeasure, a bit cranky from waking up.

At the same time, a faint, hurried commotion came from the living room, as if someone had woken up in a panic and was frantically tidying up.

Moonlit Liuli’s ears twitched, and a suspicious look appeared on her small, childish face.

She crawled off the carpet on hands and knees, then walked toward the living room with small, rapid steps.

In the living room,

Lihua Yu was vigorously wiping the coffee table with a cloth, her movements rushed.

A faint blush lingered on her cheeks as she avoided meeting Moonlit Liuli’s gaze.

Luo Tianyou lay on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket, apparently still asleep.

Her long blue hair fanned out over the pillow, her face peaceful and breathing even.

But the blanket was draped rather messily, as if someone had hurriedly adjusted it.

Moonlit Liuli’s golden eyes swept over the two, finally settling on Lihua Yu.

“You, what were you just doing?”
