“It’s fine, you don’t need to apologize~ Just use your body to say sorry!”
“Mmmph mmph mmph!”
Xiaoxi struggled desperately, finally managing to free an arm and yank the Touch out of her mouth.
“Calm down! Xinglan, listen to me! How about… we stop doing this for a while? I think we’re moving a bit too fast…”
“Why… I get it, you still mind that I’m the Blood Moon Witch, don’t you?”
All those Touches curled up in grievance, and seeing she’d struck a nerve, Xiaoxi hurriedly waved her hands.
“No, no, that’s definitely not it! Don’t overthink it, Xinglan.”
“Then why was it fine before, but now that you know I’m the Blood Moon Witch, suddenly it’s not okay anymore?”
It was fine before? Xiaoxi thought, what do you mean it was fine before? Weren’t you always kind of forcing your way every single time before?
But looking at Ye Xinglan’s aggrieved eyes…
“I… you… sigh!”
In the end, Xiaoxi could only let out a long sigh, feeling utterly tormented by being unable to explain.
Before, she didn’t know Ye Xinglan was the Blood Moon Witch, but now she’s genuinely scared that if Xinglan finds out she’s Eternal Star afterward, she’ll get chopped to bits!
The problem is, if she doesn’t give a proper reason now, Ye Xinglan will definitely think she’s rejecting her because of her Blood Moon Witch identity.
Xiaoxi didn’t want Xinglan to be hurt over something like this…
It’s like being stuck at both ends of a straight stick!
“In any case, baby, believe me, I definitely don’t mind… I just think it’s too late tonight, so how about we talk about it tomorrow?”
Xiaoxi gave up on thinking, just hoping for a temporary reprieve.
But then she saw Ye Xinglan smile slightly, as the Touches once again surrounded her menacingly.
A bad premonition welled up in Xiaoxi’s heart.
“Fooled you, actually, whether it’s today or tomorrow, you won’t escape… Lying to me like this, you’ll have to use your body to apologize for at least three days!”
“I really know I was wrong, please—”
Xiaoxi tried to run, but she hadn’t even made it out of the room before Ye Xinglan’s Touches coiled around her, dragging her straight back to the bed, leaving long finger marks across the floor.
“That’s for lying to me! For hiding things! For making me worry all night because of this!”
“I’m sorry, sis! I really know I was wrong… No, not this! I’ll die from this!”
“Now it’s too late for apologies!”
With every pause in Ye Xinglan’s words, Xiaoxi’s body trembled slightly.
Soon, her apologies were choked with sobs, and before long, she couldn’t even form complete sentences.
“Mmm… Xinglan… slower… so… mmm…”
Very soon, Xiaoxi’s voice was once again muffled by the Touch, reduced to wordless whimpers.
Honestly, this was the most satisfying round of The Game Ye Xinglan and Xiaoxi had ever played together.
After all, to avoid revealing her identity, Ye Xinglan had always held back her true power during their matches, hadn’t she?
If someone looked in from outside the window, they’d only vaguely see the pitch-black room, a petite figure being twisted into all sorts of positions by several soft, slender shadows writhing in a demonic dance…
It was pure horror movie vibes.
Ye Xinglan wondered if it was just her imagination, but Xiaoxi seemed even more sensitive and easy to break down tonight than usual…
Strange, she’d picked the sizes of the Touches so carefully; they shouldn’t have been this stimulating, right?
Actually, it was because Xiaoxi hadn’t known Ye Xinglan’s identity before, so playing The Game naturally felt different.
After all, being pinned down and humiliated by Ye Xinglan before and being pinned down knowing she’s the Blood Moon Witch are totally different feelings!
The thought that the one behind her, making her unable to even straighten her waist, was her former nemesis the Blood Moon Witch, brought a fresh sense of shameful defeat to Xiaoxi, her cheeks burning with a rosy blush.
The Blood Moon Witch had taunted her plenty during battles before.
Xiaoxi often heard, “One day I’ll make you beg for mercy in front of me!”
Back then, Xiaoxi had scoffed at such words, but as it turns out, time really is a boomerang, and she never expected those words to actually come true one day.
Not until Xiaoxi’s eyes rolled back and she showed an expression that would be a literary tag did Ye Xinglan finally pause for an intermission.
Ye Xinglan put away her Touches like a chivalrous heroine sheathing her spear after settling a score.
That legendary glint of cold steel, then the spear dancing like a dragon… She had Xiaoxi gasping in satisfaction.
When she finally regained her senses, Xiaoxi thought the game was finally over.
Trembling, she barely managed to prop herself up, only to see Ye Xinglan looking at her with anticipation, making Xiaoxi feel like a plump, juicy lamb being eyed by a starving wolf.
“You… What do you want now?”
“Eh, it’s nothing much, just want you to play a little game with me~” Ye Xinglan eagerly tugged on Xiaoxi’s arm.
“I was embarrassed to ask before, but since you already know I’m the Blood Moon Witch, well… you understand, right?”
“I still have a tiny bit of grudge against Eternal Star and those Magical Girls, and since you just happen to be a Magic Girl…”
Ye Xinglan leaned in and whispered a bunch of words into Xiaoxi’s ear that definitely wouldn’t pass review, and Xiaoxi’s eyes instantly widened.
“No! Absolutely not! Anything else is fine, but this I will never agree to!”
If Ye Xinglan weren’t the Blood Moon Witch, fine, Xiaoxi might just barely agree if Xinglan really wanted to play that way.
But there’s still that layer of nemesis between them! As Eternal Star, her dignity would never allow it!
“Really? Sigh… It’s okay, Xiaoxi. Even though your deception tonight hurt me deeply, if you truly don’t want to grant me this tiny wish, I won’t force you…”
Ye Xinglan looked so pitiful, such a far cry from the fierce, tentacle-wielding beast from moments ago, that even though Xiaoxi knew she was just acting, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.
If she caved and coaxed her little girlfriend, her Eternal Star dignity would be in tatters…
What’s more important, her little girlfriend or her pride as Eternal Star…
“Alright then, if you don’t want to, we’ll just end it here tonight.”
Ye Xinglan made a show of wiping away tears with her Touch, then turned her back to Xiaoxi and lay down as if ready to sleep.
“…Fine, fine, I agree! I agree, okay?”
Well, it turns out coaxing her little girlfriend is more important after all.
“Yay!”
Ye Xinglan instantly dropped her pitiful act and flipped over in a carp jump, sitting up bright and energetic.
