Chapter 182: Location

If Liuli had been somewhat angry at first, then under Serveyia’s diligent efforts, that anger quickly transformed into pleasure.

However, what puzzled Serveyia was that Liuli, who usually begged for mercy quite early on, seemed exceptionally stubborn with her words today.

Her gaze was already hazy, and her legs were weak, yet her mouth still stubbornly refused to utter any words of surrender.

“Little Fox seems to be in an especially spirited mood today?”

How to put it? Although it did bring Serveyia some different feelings compared to before, it was undeniable that Little Fox’s every move in the past had given Serveyia a great sense of accomplishment.

Whatever Serveyia said, she would obey.

But now, the stubbornness of the Little Fox beneath her was, to be honest, a bit boring.

“Se… Serveyia, why are you talking so much?”

Liuli still stubbornly refused to give in. Actually, Liuli’s thinking was quite simple.

It wasn’t about revenge or anything. It was because You was next door.

Although it was highly likely that You had returned to her own room to read, what if? What if You wanted to come find her and ended up hearing her voice? How would she explain that then?

“I’m just curious, Little Fox. Why are you being so stubborn today? Is there something different? Well, if I had to say, it’s that there’s an extra ‘You’ in the house now. Could it be, Little Fox, that you’re being so stubborn because you don’t want You to hear?”

“!”

Her thoughts had been read by Serveyia. Liuli’s eyes snapped open in an instant. Seeing Liuli’s reaction, Serveyia understood she had guessed correctly and looked at Liuli with some amusement.

“What should I say about you, Little Fox? The rooms in Qingli Hall have excellent soundproofing. Even if someone pressed their ear against the door, they wouldn’t hear what’s happening inside. So, Little Fox, there won’t be any problems.”

Serveyia leaned close to Liuli’s ear and whispered softly.

The gentle words now sounded like a demon’s whisper to Liuli.

The tension that had been tightly wound up within her finally relaxed completely at this moment.

The breath stuck in her throat now poured out like a breached dam.

“Hehe, wouldn’t it have been better to be like this earlier? This way, I can feel a sense of accomplishment, and you, Little Fox, can feel pleasure. What’s not to like?”

“Se, Serveyia!” Liuli felt somewhat ashamed by Serveyia’s words. “I should have known better than to say a single word…”

But she also knew that saying nothing was just an angry remark.

In that kind of situation, even an iron-willed person probably couldn’t hold back, let alone someone like her who didn’t have much perseverance.

Holding out for this long was already an exceptional performance for her.

“Hehe, Little Fox, you’re so cute. Even if you didn’t speak, I would find a way to make you, Little Fox, open your mouth and say the words I want to hear.”

The words she wanted to hear? Liuli knew very well that the words Serveyia wanted to hear wouldn’t be anything decent, not to mention that in the current scene, wanting to hear other words wasn’t realistic. This seemed to prove Serveyia’s mischievous nature from another angle.

“Serveyia, do you know that saying some sweet nothings at a time like this would actually increase my fondness for you more than you being clever like this?”

Although Liuli had heard similar words in various places before—proper places and not-so-proper places—back then, she didn’t really understand what those words meant.

But now it was different. Now, she was pinned beneath Serveyia, whose body almost completely enveloped her.

In this situation, Liuli almost instinctively placed herself in a weak, cherished position.

And at a time like this, seeking a sense of security seemed to have become Liuli’s top priority.

And at such a time, sweet nothings were undoubtedly the simplest and most effective method.

“So, Little Fox wants to hear my sweet nothings?”

“Mhm.”

Liuli found it strange. Wasn’t it said that girls’ thoughts were very delicate? And Serveyia, as a Princess, should have social skills as a required course. Why did it feel to Liuli like Serveyia was the one who was a clueless, emotionally dense straight guy?

“Then, Little Fox, do you want to hear them now, or at the most exciting moment?”

“Serveyia… do you really not know when to say them?”

“After all, logically speaking, before meeting you, Little Fox, I should have been the one listening to sweet nothings. Isn’t it normal for me to be unfamiliar with it?”

It seemed, well, that was indeed the case. Liuli didn’t know what Serveyia was feeling right now.

Although it was Serveyia who chose to become her maid, and it was Serveyia who, step by step through her designs, successfully brought Liuli into her hands… Serveyia couldn’t possibly not know how to please someone. Or perhaps, she didn’t see Liuli as a girl?

But then again, it seemed she wasn’t originally a girl, so perhaps when pursuing her, Serveyia didn’t need to use the complete set of methods for girls.

However, just as Liuli had thought before, this wasn’t entirely a distinction brought about by gender. It was more about position.

Because she was in the lower position, the one receiving affection, she instinctively sought a sense of security.

This itself had nothing to do with gender. But now, the trend of development seemed to be increasingly solidifying gender roles—what gender you are dictates what you should do.

Societal expectations were also becoming more rigid. In this situation, even she was subconsciously expecting something and enjoying something.

“Then, I’ll give you a chance now, Serveyia. Would you switch positions with me?”

How to put it? Although the concept of position didn’t seem to represent much (not really), and the one in the upper position often needed to put in more effort… still, it was a fresh experience and a fresh perspective. So if given the chance, she really did want to try it.

“Oh? Could it be that Little Fox wants to show off your flirting skills?”

“What flirting skills do I have? I’ve been single my whole life. What flirting skills could I possibly have?”

“But you, Little Fox, can talk about these theories one set after another, can’t you?”

“Those are all things I read from other places. Novels, comics… none of it is my personal experience.”

“So the whole theory about sweet nothings was also read?”

“It was read, but it’s also what I wanted to hear…”

Speaking of which, this relationship with Serveyia was actually very different. She had grown up as a male before.

The education she received growing up, the societal expectations… all hoped she would fulfill the role of a husband.

But after coming to Saint Laia and meeting Serveyia, she seemed to have gradually placed her own identity on the female side.

Clearly, Serveyia was also a girl. Wouldn’t she also want to enjoy a sweet romance?

“Forget it. As a princess, I have my own pride. You, little fox, should just obediently stay beneath me.”
