Chapter 13: This Woman, Damn Sweet

Standing outside the ward, before even entering, Cheng Yuexin listened to the laughter inside and didn’t open the door.

It seemed Chen Yiyi and Cheng Yueqing were getting along well.

That surprised Cheng Yuexin.

Other than herself, she rarely saw Cheng Yueqing chatting happily with anyone. Now Chen Yiyi was the exception.

At least if she wasn’t around, Chen Yiyi could help take care of Cheng Yueqing a little.

“Big Sis, you’re back.”

As soon as Cheng Yuexin stepped inside, Cheng Yueqing’s gaze landed on her immediately. No matter what, Cheng Yuexin would always be number one in her heart.

Just like her place in Cheng Yuexin’s heart.

“Yueqing, it’s getting late. Big Sis has to go.”

Cheng Yuexin stopped beside Chen Yiyi.

Chen Yiyi stood up, letting Cheng Yuexin sit by the bed.

Cheng Yueqing understood Cheng Yuexin was tired, but deep in her eyes, a hint of loss and reluctance still lingered.

She grabbed Cheng Yuexin’s hand, noticed the yellowish-brown iodine stain on her left palm, gently touched it, and her tone showed some concern.

“Big Sis, does your hand still hurt?”

Cheng Yuexin raised her right hand to stroke the girl’s soft hair, putting on a smile to ease her worry.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore. The doctor said it’s almost healed.”

‘Looks like Big Sis isn’t safe at school either.’

“Mm.”

Cheng Yueqing stared at the wound on her palm, not letting go for a long time.

Cheng Yuexin was silent for a moment. Chen Yiyi quietly left the room, giving the sisters some time alone.

In Cheng Yueqing’s heart, Cheng Yuexin was irreplaceable.

“Yueqing, the surgery is in a few days. You’ll be discharged soon.”

“Mm, staying in the hospital feels terrible. I’ve been stuck in the room so long I’m about to mold.”

Cheng Yuexin smiled.

“Once I’m better, I want to eat your cooking, Big Sis.”

Cheng Yueqing gently hugged Cheng Yuexin, feeling her warmth. Only then could her heart settle a little.

“Sure, Big Sis will cook for you. I need to go now.”

Cheng Yueqing reluctantly pulled away from Cheng Yuexin’s chest, a wistful shimmer in her eyes.

“It’s a deal. Good night, Big Sis.”

“Good night, mua~”

Cheng Yuexin quickly planted a kiss on Cheng Yueqing’s cheek, since Chen Yiyi wasn’t there.

Receiving Cheng Yuexin’s goodnight kiss, Cheng Yueqing beamed with joy and waved goodbye.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s head back.”

Outside the ward, Cheng Yuexin gently closed the door and patted Chen Yiyi on the shoulder.

Chen Yiyi hurriedly put down her phone and picked up the shopping bag.

“Okay, back to school.”

After leaving the hospital, the two took a taxi back to the campus.

Chen Yiyi paid again. Cheng Yuexin couldn’t bear to spend money on taxis.

“It doesn’t take that long by bus. You just had to spend ten bucks on a taxi.”

Cheng Yuexin grumbled. Chen Yiyi found it amusing.

“It’s just two fewer drinks. No big deal.”

But Cheng Yuexin didn’t see it that way. In her dictionary, saving came first.

“Saving a little here and there matters. It’s not like we’re in a hurry.”

Chen Yiyi shook her head abruptly and softly said something that puzzled Cheng Yuexin.

“I am in a hurry.”

“In a hurry for what?”

Facing Cheng Yuexin’s questioning face, Chen Yiyi smiled without answering.

‘This cute catgirl always takes some time to savor.’

“Oh, playing mysterious now.”

Cheng Yuexin was even more curious about what she was up to.

Chen Yiyi grabbed Cheng Yuexin’s hand firmly with her free hand, still smiling.

“Little cat, are you thirsty?”

Cheng Yuexin nodded, thinking it was the same old trick. ‘I’m not playing along.’

“I’m thirsty. I want water.”

Chen Yiyi nodded knowingly, went to the convenience store, and bought a bottle of water.

“Here.”

“Why only one bottle?”

“Because I’m not thirsty.”

Cheng Yuexin stared at Chen Yiyi suspiciously, frowning slightly.

The cap had already been loosened by Chen Yiyi, so Cheng Yuexin opened it easily and took a couple of sips.

Just as she screwed the cap back on, Chen Yiyi tugged her along.

“Hey, hey, what’s the rush?”

“Don’t ask.”

Cheng Yuexin couldn’t see Chen Yiyi’s expression, but she could sense some urgency in her tone.

Either way, going back to the dorm was good for Cheng Yuexin.

At least there wouldn’t be any more stares from passersby.

“Oh, I’m back!”

The moment Cheng Yuexin stepped into the dorm, her body and mind relaxed. She rushed straight to the bed and flopped face-down onto it.

It was already ten o’clock.

“You haven’t even taken off your shoes, and you’re already on the bed.”

Chen Yiyi put down the bag, watching the tailless catgirl lying defenseless on the bed. A deep longing flickered in the dark depths of her eyes.

“I’m too lazy. You do it for me.”

Cheng Yuexin’s voice was muffled, her face buried in the pillow.

Chen Yiyi’s eyes lit up.

‘A reward so soon!’

‘Let me!’

“Awesome, I’ll take them off!”

“Why are you so happy about taking off shoes?”

Chen Yiyi grinned, sat on the edge of the bed, stared at the thighs wrapped in white stockings, and licked her lips.

“Mm… gently…”

“Hehe, sorry, sorry.”

Chen Yiyi grabbed Cheng Yuexin’s ankle. The 30-denier white stockings faintly veiled her ankle, revealing fair skin beneath.

The smooth, silky texture and the warmth transmitted through the slick fabric made it hard to let go.

She could touch this all day.

But Cheng Yuexin didn’t seem pleased.

“Why are you feeling me up while taking off my shoes?”

“How can I take off your shoes without touching?”

Listening to her nonsense spoken with such seriousness, Cheng Yuexin didn’t know what to say anymore.

‘Whatever, we’re good friends.’

Cheng Yuexin sighed helplessly.

“Can’t you take off my shoes first, then touch?”

Chen Yiyi’s expression was more than willing.

“Oh? You said that.”

Her movements became swift.

She wouldn’t give Cheng Yuexin a chance to back out.

“Clack.”

The shoes hit the floor with a crisp sound. Chen Yiyi stared at the fully exposed beautiful legs and swallowed.

Seeing the fully unwrapped white-stockinged feet up close, a faint scent of sweat mixed with the stockings’ own fragrance—an exquisite smell.

“Chen Yiyi! Are you addicted? Why are you sniffing my feet?”

Cheng Yuexin turned over and saw Chen Yiyi holding her foot, her nose almost touching the toes. Was she about to put it in her mouth next?

‘Jeez, Chen Yiyi, are you being a pervert?’

If it were Cheng Yuexin, she definitely couldn’t accept it.

But Chen Yiyi not only wasn’t disgusted, she even had a flushed, almost obsessed look on her face.

“Are you listening, Chen Yiyi?”

Chen Yiyi held her thrashing leg firmly. Cheng Yuexin quickly turned over, but Chen Yiyi was faster and sat on her thighs.

“What are you doing?”

Chen Yiyi bared her teeth playfully at Cheng Yuexin. Her bright pupils reflected Cheng Yuexin’s panicked, flustered face, and the cat ear headband on her head was askew.

“Hehe, little catgirl! My little catgirl!”

“Whoa! Chen Yiyi! Ah… haha… haha… stop tickling… haha…”

Cheng Yuexin struggled while being tickled, but Chen Yiyi pressed her entire weight on her legs, leaving no room to move.

Chen Yiyi alternated between tickling her waist and pinching her thighs. The smooth, elastic thigh flesh was like gummy candy when pinched.

“Yiyi… stop tickling… haha… I can’t take it anymore…”

Cheng Yuexin laughed uncontrollably, the cat ears falling off her head, her white hair disheveled, strands clinging to her lips.

Chen Yiyi felt it was enough and stopped her hands.

But then she looked at Cheng Yuexin lying on her back.

Her usually sweet and lovely face was now flushed, dazed and vacant.

Her cherry-like lips parted slightly, glossy and shimmering.

‘I want to bully her even more. What do I do?’

“Yuexin…”

Cheng Yuexin hadn’t recovered yet. She stared blankly at the ceiling, not answering, still panting.

Until Chen Yiyi’s face blocked her view.

“Yiyi… you’re bad…”

Her soft, gentle tone made Chen Yiyi’s heart skip a beat.

Even though it was scolding, it sounded more like a flirtatious tease.

A warm palm cupped her delicate cheek, and Cheng Yuexin felt her face grow hotter.

“Little cat, meow for big sis.”

Cheng Yuexin pursed her lips shyly, but she had experience from before.

‘Do I have a talent for playing a catgirl?’

She didn’t dare meet Chen Yiyi’s eyes. Those bright, yearning eyes—if she looked into them, she’d lose her composure.

“Meow… meow…”

Cheng Yuexin turned her head shyly, never looking at Chen Yiyi.

“My little cat is so good~”

Chen Yiyi smiled sweetly, gently stroked the top of her head, and swallowed. She wanted to hold her face and kiss her twice.

But their relationship hadn’t reached that point yet.

Still, such an adorable cat—it would be a waste not to kiss her.

The opportunity was rare.

While Chen Yiyi was thinking, Cheng Yuexin twisted her body but still couldn’t move under Chen Yiyi’s weight.

“Get off me already.”

Cheng Yuexin pouted slightly, unhappy.

‘Chen Yiyi is way off today!’

‘Did Gu Linxue possess her?’

No, because even Gu Linxue wouldn’t sniff her feet.

“Getting off is possible…”

Chen Yiyi deliberately spoke slowly.

“But there’s a condition.”

Cheng Yuexin didn’t know what trick she was playing, but Chen Yiyi’s expression told her something was up.

“What condition?”

Cheng Yuexin’s expression calmed down, unafraid of Chen Yiyi.

Chen Yiyi curled her lips. The script in her mind was playing out. This was the key point.

“Kiss me, and I’ll get off.”

“Are you sure?”

“Sure.”

“Just a kiss?”

“Mm.”

Cheng Yuexin asked seriously, confirming so she wouldn’t back out.

“Where?”

Chen Yiyi stayed silent, pretending to be cool, and slowly leaned down. Her eyes reflected Cheng Yuexin’s stunned face.

‘Guess for yourself.’

Cheng Yuexin stared at the beautiful face drawing closer, her heart pounding wildly.

Sweet breaths intertwined, their scents filling the narrow space between them.

She could almost hear the pounding of their hearts in their chests.

Neither spoke. Cheng Yuexin stared unblinkingly at Chen Yiyi’s red lips.

It felt like she was waiting to be plucked.

Cheng Yuexin had never experienced this situation, but her intuition told her what Chen Yiyi wanted… was that.

Her chest heaved more noticeably. Chen Yiyi approached slowly but steadily, pressing on Cheng Yuexin’s nerves.

“Yiyi…”

Chen Yiyi narrowed her eyes, a smile at the corner of her mouth. Her vision lost Cheng Yuexin’s face.

She was nervous too, not just a little.

To be honest, it was her first time this close to someone she liked.

Of course, she felt shy.

Cheng Yuexin felt the same. She bit her lip, her mind in turmoil.

Two voices couldn’t agree. Would it be the cheek, or… there?

‘Ahhh!’

‘Girls are so complicated!’

‘Screw it, I’ll just kiss her! It’s not like I’ll lose a piece of flesh!’

‘Why is a yuri comic plot playing out on me?’

‘Fine, I’ll let you kiss!’

“Mmf…”

“Mmph!”

Chen Yiyi was shocked. She opened her eyes instinctively and saw Cheng Yuexin’s tightly shut eyes, her long lashes trembling like butterfly wings.

‘She really kissed me!’

‘Kiss!’

‘Good girl!’

She thought Cheng Yuexin would still kiss her cheek, but she chose her lips instead.

A bold and satisfying choice.

Chen Yiyi got the best of both worlds. Cheng Yuexin tasted Chen Yiyi for the first time.

‘This woman… damn sweet.’
