The strong scent of lavender filled Cheng Yuexin’s nose.
In the cramped space, Gu Linxue leaned over Cheng Yuexin, her warm breath hitting her tense face.
She should have been the one in control, but the moment the bathroom door closed, Gu Linxue dropped all pretense.
Everything just now had only been to save face for Cheng Yuexin in front of Chen Yiyi.
After all, with Cheng Yuexin’s temper, could she really get angry with her?
Plonked down on the toilet lid, Cheng Yuexin’s hands were grabbed by Gu Linxue, who lifted them like she was carrying a little kitten.
With her other hand, she pinched Cheng Yuexin’s smooth chin—her soft skin turning red from the slight pressure.
“Mmph… Gu Linxue, can you let me go first? Please don’t be mad, okay?”
She tried to struggle, but Gu Linxue was much stronger; she couldn’t break free.
She’d learned that since yesterday.
This body’s strength could only be described as Battle Five Scum.
Cheng Yuexin’s tone was humble and pleading. Gu Linxue’s expression was annoyed yet amused.
“Mad? Am I mad?”
Looking at Gu Linxue’s teasing smile, Cheng Yuexin felt like a toy being played with. She stayed silent, not daring to respond.
This feeling was unbearable, but it was the price she paid for her actions just now.
She knew well that crossing Gu Linxue would lead to no good.
“I… I know I was wrong just now. Please be magnanimous and overlook my fault.”
“Oh?”
Gu Linxue raised an eyebrow.
“No, I think you did well. To keep your roommate from knowing you spent the night with me, you deliberately interrupted me.”
“You’re something else.”
Her smile deepened, but Cheng Yuexin felt no comfort from that teasing grin.
“I didn’t want Yiyi to know the truth because that’s not what I told her this morning…”
The guilt from lying mixed with the tension of the moment, and a blush crept onto Cheng Yuexin’s pretty face.
“Heh, lying to your roommate. One day the truth will come out.”
Gu Linxue let go of her chin and gently stroked her cheek.
Cheng Yuexin’s heart leaped into her throat, afraid that Gu Linxue’s fingertips would leave marks on her delicate, almost translucent skin.
Her only asset was this pretty face.
Gazing at the fear on Cheng Yuexin’s face, the curve of Gu Linxue’s lips grew more pronounced.
“Want me to tell your roommate myself? Tell her about what’s between you and me?”
The fear in Cheng Yuexin’s eyes mixed with panic as she quickly tried to stop her.
“No, you can’t tell Yiyi…”
Gu Linxue snorted coldly.
“And you think you can stop me?”
“You can’t tell her. I’m begging you.”
Cheng Yuexin said helplessly, her purple eyes filled with resignation and fear.
Not just fear of Gu Linxue, but fear that once Chen Yiyi knew everything, she would distance herself.
Living under the same roof, if things went sour, her life from then on would be miserable.
Gu Linxue twisted Cheng Yuexin’s cheek hard, leaning in until Cheng Yuexin’s nervous breath hit her face.
She was very satisfied with Cheng Yuexin’s expression—it gave her a strange sense of pleasure.
Trampling this flower on a high peak was truly delightful.
“You beg me? With what?”
Cheng Yuexin couldn’t find an answer. Tears welled in her eyes. It hurt so much having her face clamped like that.
But Gu Linxue kept squeezing.
Her clamped-together legs were forced apart by Gu Linxue’s knee, as if she were about to violate her.
“Don’t… don’t do this…”
Cheng Yuexin’s low pleas fell on deaf ears. Gu Linxue pressed her head forward and kissed those soft cherry lips fiercely.
She forced open her teeth, easily lifted her up, and plundered everything in her mouth.
“Mmm… mmm…”
Cheng Yuexin’s eyes rolled upward. Her kiss was like a violent storm, and she was nothing but a lonely boat in that rain, tottering.
She tried to clamp Gu Linxue’s hand between her legs to stop her.
The next second, the kiss stopped. Gu Linxue’s pink eyes showed a sick possessiveness and intense coldness.
“You’re the one who begged me at all costs, and now you’re playing innocent?”
Cheng Yuexin panted and whispered, her cheeks flushed from lack of oxygen.
“I… I didn’t mean that…”
Gu Linxue licked her lips, looking at the dazed and timid face before her. How could she calm down seeing such a sight?
If she was going to bully her, she’d bully her to the end.
Not a single stubborn bone could remain.
“Cheng Yuexin.”
She called her name, her tone flat, but the way it drifted into Cheng Yuexin’s heart felt different—like the calm before a storm.
“Cheng Yueqing’s medical bills—fifty thousand, if I remember correctly. Her next surgery isn’t far off.”
Cheng Yuexin’s pupils dilated. A sharpness and fierceness flashed in her eyes.
“What do you want?”
Her tone now wasn’t as weak as before; it held a hint of anger.
But that was exactly the reaction Gu Linxue wanted.
“I don’t want anything. I’m just telling you: if you still want to continue our transaction, then you know what you need to do.”
“Creak…”
Cheng Yuexin gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Linxue, but the glare faded quickly—her fierceness never lasted two seconds.
Gu Linxue had already firmly grasped her by the scruff of the neck without her even realizing it.
She wanted so badly to escape Gu Linxue’s control, but she had no way out.
Without Gu Linxue’s money, she couldn’t save Cheng Yueqing. Compared to her sister’s life, she had already decided she would fall into the abyss of ruin if it meant saving her.
“Think it over yourself.”
Seeing no response, Gu Linxue dropped the words and turned to leave.
Her departure was stopped by Cheng Yuexin. She had no way back.
She grabbed her hand and pressed it against her own chest, making her palm feel the warmth.
“I… I’ve thought it over…”
Gu Linxue sneered. Playing hard to get.
“But I’ve lost patience with you.”
She insisted on leaving. Cheng Yuexin clung tightly to her hand, refusing to let go, because if she walked out now, she might never be able to ask Gu Linxue for help again.
She still needed her sponsor’s help, and the money she’d given had already far exceeded the normal range.
Cheng Yuexin grew bolder. She actively clamped onto the hand that wanted to pull away, pulling Gu Linxue closer.
She had to play nice—Gu Linxue ate that up.
“Don’t go~ I can’t stand it anymore~ You stirred me up, and now you’re not going to follow through?”
The pitiful white-haired girl blinked with hopeful eyes, her voice soft and coquettish, echoing in the air.
Her pink lips parted slightly. Beneath her gently fluttering lashes, her clear eyes shimmered with longing.
Even if it was an act, it was too tempting to resist.
Gu Linxue, stirred by her seduction, let go of her earlier frustration.
“Haha, of course I’ll follow through.”
Her pink eyes didn’t hide her greed. A beauty like Cheng Yuexin—however she played with her, it was never too much.
And “following through” meant nothing more than feasting on the delicious Cheng Yuexin.
That face showing such an expression was incredibly arousing.
“Mmph… mmm… ah…”
Gu Linxue got straight to the point. Cheng Yuexin passively endured.
All of this was her choice.
“My little kitten, how about I get you a catgirl maid outfit to wear next time?”
“No… I… oh… I don’t want to wear it…”
If she actually put it on, in a sense, she would really become her cat.
Gu Linxue curled her lips.
“You’ll wear it whether you want to or not next time.”
The sweet, cloying scent lingered in the bathroom. When Gu Linxue clapped her hands and left, only Cheng Yuexin remained sitting on the toilet lid, dazed, drooling.
Her eyes were vacant and hollow.
“Tsk, one round and she’s already done. Looks like last night was too much. This small trash fish is too weak.”
