Chapter 31 The eldest lady made her feel relaxed

“Zhixian……why….”

The hairdryer hummed softly, the black-haired girl sitting with her back to the other, feeling the warm breeze flowing through her hair and the gentle, delicate hands lightly caressing her, she whispered softly.

“Hm? Why what?”

Though Su Ling’s voice was quiet, it was accurately caught by Ruan Zhixian kneeling behind her.

“Why aren’t you angry? I clearly had such a bad attitude when I came back today…”

The black-haired girl lowered her head slightly, murmuring her question.

“Ah, Su Ling, you mean that?”

“Of course, it’s because I already guessed everything~”

The blonde girl’s tone was quite smug.

Eh, guessed? What did Zhixian guess?!

Hearing this, Su Ling immediately panicked.

“I already guessed…..”

Could it be that Zhixian had guessed the truth about her being qiujin?!

Su Ling’s heart was in turmoil.

“I already guessed it — you must have been exhausted from working overtime all these days, so you were in a bad mood!”

“Sorry, Zhixian, I…..eh?!”

Su Ling, who had begun babbling the truth, abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

“Hm? Su Ling, what are you sorry for?”

Ruan Zhixian paused her actions, her large eyes full of curiosity.

“N-no, nothing…… I mean, Zhixian, you guessed right, I, I really was in a bad mood from working overtime. Sorry for worrying you.”

Su Ling quickly changed the subject, following Zhixian’s earlier guess to continue.

“Hehe, I knew it~”

The hairdryer kept running as Ruan Zhixian resumed brushing the girl’s smooth black hair, her tone growing even more smug.

“Actually, Su Ling, if you ever have a bad mood, you can always come back and tell me~”

“Although I can only stay home every day now and can’t help much, I can still help you relieve bad emotions and work stress.”

“If Su Ling has any bad feelings, just pack them all up and give them to Ruan Zhixian. I’ll accept them all without leaving any behind and help you hold onto them properly.”

“All done!”

Ruan Zhixian finished drying the last strand of the girl’s hair, set the hairdryer aside, then hugged the Bear Plushie tightly, looking satisfied with her handiwork.

“Mm, thank you, Zhixian.”

The black-haired girl sat back to back, responding softly.

Too bad, Zhixian, I could never pack all my bad emotions and give them to you……

My emotions are too intense. If I really showed you everything, you’d definitely be frightened……

Beneath the girl’s calm black eyes hid a storm of obsession and desire.

“All right, next I’ll help you with your Ear Pick!”

“Su Ling, come lie down here! I promise my skills are very good; it’ll feel really nice~”

The blonde girl knelt on the bed, patting her joined thighs, the pure cotton nightgown blooming like a soft cloud.

It’s… Zhixian’s lap pillow!

Su Ling felt her face flush with heat.

“I… can I really?”

“All right, all right, what are you hesitating about~”

Before Su Ling could react, Ruan Zhixian suddenly leaned forward and grabbed her slender wrist.

***

After the black-haired girl collapsed onto the bed, Zhixian lifted one hand and gently pressed Su Ling’s head onto her soft thigh.

“Be a good girl and stay still here, don’t move. I’m starting now~”

Ruan Zhixian softly smoothed Su Ling’s sleek black hair, revealing her ear: small and exquisite, the snow-white earlobe trembling slightly at the girl’s touch, a flush of shyness gradually spreading from the ear tip to the helix.

Wow, Su Ling’s ears are so pretty… I want to nibble on them…

Seeing this, Ruan Zhixian quietly swallowed.

No, no, no! Zhixian, what are you doing acting so silly again? Even if Su Ling likes you, you can’t lead her astray like this!

Besides, you two haven’t even confirmed your relationship yet……

Ruan Zhixian shook her head vigorously, trying to clear these strange thoughts.

But… well…

Her gaze drifted back to that small, delicate ear.

Just touching it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Thinking this, Ruan Zhixian’s guilty little hand reached for the black-haired girl’s earlobe.

Wow, so soft and smooth… it feels so nice…

“Eek! Zhixian, you can’t do that!”

Su Ling immediately whimpered when her earlobe was squeezed.

“Don’t, don’t do that……..”

The black-haired girl’s phoenix eyes clouded with a thin veil of tears, her breathing quickened, and her fingertips tightly grasped the hem of Zhixian’s skirt.

“Ah, Su Ling, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it!”

Seeing this, Ruan Zhixian immediately withdrew her hand, apologizing repeatedly.

What a sin! How did I actually touch her like that?!

“It’s, it’s nothing. Actually, just now I also……”

The black-haired girl lying sideways on Zhixian’s thigh shifted a little, exhaling softly with a flushed face.

“Th-then, Su Ling, let’s just hurry up and start the main thing!”

Ruan Zhixian didn’t catch the girl’s soft murmurs and only replied flusteredly.

“Su Ling, are you ready? I’m going in now~”

The slender Ear Pick slipped into the girl’s ear canal.

“Mm, I’m ready……eep!”

The moment the Ear Pick went deeper, the girl let out a startled cry.

“Su Ling, don’t move, if you shake too much, it might hurt you later~”

A small hand steadied the girl’s shoulder and head.

“All right, I’m starting to move now~”

The Ear Pick began to gently rotate.

“Mm, good…… ah!”

Su Ling clenched Zhixian’s skirt tightly.

“How does it feel? Comfortable here, right~”

The Ear Pick moved to a certain spot deep inside the ear, launching its delicate attack.

“Mhm! Mm…..”

The black-haired girl’s neck muscles tensed abruptly, then slowly relaxed with Zhixian’s movements.

“All done on this ear. Let’s turn your head and start cleaning the other ear~”

Zhixian’s cheerful voice came from the huge thing that blocked the girl’s view, making her shiver involuntarily.

“Come on, Su Ling, be a good girl and hand over everything you’ve stored up today~”

As Zhixian gently scooped out the debris from the other ear, she spoke softly.

The battered black-haired girl didn’t respond, just buried her little face into Zhixian’s slender waist, making strange noises.

“How is it? Feeling much more relaxed?”

Zhixian put away the Ear Pick, which had just achieved a remarkable harvest, and asked expectantly, looking at the girl lying on the bed.

“Mhm…..”

“Definitely feels a lot lighter…..”

Su Ling sank weakly into the soft goose-down comforter, her messy black hair spread everywhere.

“Hehe, I told you, my skills are really good!”

Heh heh, looks like Su Ling will definitely have a good night’s sleep tonight!

I really helped a lot!

Ruan Zhixian watched Su Ling’s “relieved” expression and was very satisfied with her own handiwork.

It’s just that, maybe Su Ling’s ears are a little too sensitive…

The blonde girl pondered, quietly noting this fact in her mind.
