“Of course I know you’re on your period, so I didn’t intend to do anything like that to you. Honestly, your mind seems to be filled with nothing but indecent thoughts all day, doesn’t it?”
She felt a strange sense of being toyed with, but couldn’t quite put it into words.
Lin Guanqi, flustered and annoyed, pulled the blanket over her head and mumbled from underneath, “Want to kiss my lips, huh? Well, I’m not letting you! What can you do about it? Nya nya nya nya!”
She thought Bai Ningbing would be helpless now, but to her surprise, Bai Ningbing crawled into the blanket as well and even pressed herself right in front of her.
“You think I can’t do anything just because you hid under the covers? So naive. What good does it do to hide in here anyway?”
Before Lin Guanqi could react, a mouth was already pressed against her lips.
“Don’t kiss me so hard, it hurts! Can’t you be a little gentler?”
“Gentler? Of course I can do that.”
That line was mostly a joke.
In truth, Bai Ningbing kissed her even more forcefully, as if pouring out all the day’s pent-up emotions into that kiss.
And it seemed Lin Guanqi accepted this way of kissing, her resistance gradually turning into enjoyment.
“Haโฆ haโฆ”
Lin Guanqi only managed to breathe again after almost suffocating from the kiss, when Bai Ningbing finally let her go.
“Looks like my little darling has already accepted me, hasn’t she?”
Bai Ningbing teased.
Suddenly hearing that, was there any room for not accepting? Unless she wanted to go through something even more unbearable than kissing.
Just like what happened that day.
As for the details of that day, they were unspeakable.
But one thing was clear: Lin Guanqi never wanted to experience what happened that day again.
That day was easily her weakest, most exhausted moment in the whole monthโshe could barely get out of bed.
Bai Ningbing just had so many tricks up her sleeve. If you didn’t have the stamina, you couldn’t even survive the whole ordeal. Being her girlfriend meant enduring that kind of “punishment.”
“Yeah, yeah, like I could even say no to you at this point!”
Suddenly, Bai Ningbing grabbed her by the neck, her tone shifting in an instant.
Her voice grew cold, with a faint threat in it.
“Of course. No matter where my little darling runs, I’ll always catch you and bring you back.”
“And if you keep being naughty, I might just have to tie up your hands and feetโฆ So only I can admire you.”
This definitely didn’t sound like a joke. If Lin Guanqi ever really acted out, this might actually happen to her.
“What? How dare you say something like that!”
“If you ever really did something wrong and I didn’t forgive you, I’d just disappear and let you try finding me. Your threats wouldn’t matter.”
As they exchanged these words, sleepiness swept over them. After a whole day on a plane, they were utterly exhausted.
“Too lazy to argue with you, I’m going to sleep.”
A few minutes after saying that, Lin Guanqi fell fast asleep.
Of course, you couldn’t go to sleep without a goodnight kiss.
Bai Ningbing seized the chance while Lin Guanqi was groggy and asked, “So, can I give you a goodnight kiss?”
“Mmmโฆ”
Half-awake, she agreed, and Bai Ningbing mischievously took out her phone and snapped a photo of the two of them kissing.
How she wished time could freeze at this very moment.
After kissing her, Bai Ningbing, feeling the weight of everything that had been happening lately, started to feel tired too, while Lin Guanqi lay quietly by her side.
It made her feel incredibly at ease, even better than the effects of sleeping pills.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Bai Ningbing rolled over and found that Lin Guanqi was nowhere to be found. She jolted awake in a haze.
She got up in a panic and looked around.
But the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.
“Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao!”
“Jiaojiao, where are you!”
A bad feeling welled up inside her, but she quickly found the figure she was searching for in the kitchen.
“Jiaojiao!”
Lin Guanqi knew Jiaojiao was calling for her.
So she turned and looked at Bai Ningbing.
“What’s up, you’re awake? I’m making breakfast. Wait just a bit.”
Seeing that reassuring figure, Bai Ningbing’s tense heart finally relaxed.
“Why are you making breakfast? You should just let the hotel staff do that. Why are you up so early? Aren’t you going to sleep more?”
Bai Ningbing was puzzled. This wasn’t Lin Guanqi’s style at all. Normally, she’d sleep in until noon if she could.
And today she was actually up early to make breakfast?
She immediately went over to Lin Guanqi, touched her forehead, and wondered, she’s not running a fever, is she? Why is she acting so weird today?
Lin Guanqi clearly knew what Bai Ningbing was thinking and said, “I’ve just seen how nice you’ve been to me lately, so I wanted to make you breakfast for once. Is that so odd? Do you have to check if I’m sick just because of this?”
Lin Guanqi stomped her feet in frustration.
“Hahahaโฆ Of course notโฆ”
“So, what are you making? Want me to help?”
Bai Ningbing lost any urge to keep sleeping and simply went to the kitchen to help.
But Lin Guanqi wouldn’t have it. Since she’d decided to make breakfast, she had to do it herself.
If anyone helped, it wouldn’t count as her own meal.
“Aiya, stop fussing, I’ll do it myself! Go wait at the table, I’ll bring it when it’s done!”
Bai Ningbing was pushed to the dining table by Lin Guanqi.
Lin Guanqi returned to the kitchen to continue making breakfast, but as she went along, she discovered a problem.
She wasn’t quite sure how to add the seasonings.
These white granules should be sugar, right? Yeah, probably can add a bit. And this one must be salt, better just put a little.
After fiddling around for a while, she finally managed to put together a sandwich.
But there was still one last step.
Lin Guanqi put some bacon and meat in it, along with lettuce.
Ok, now the sandwich was complete, and she couldn’t forget the fried egg.
Of course, in the end, only the egg was something she’d made herselfโthe rest was ready-made.
Even so, Lin Guanqi was quite proud.
With full confidence, she presented the sandwich to Bai Ningbing and said, “Hurry and try it! I spent a lot of time making this sandwich! I won’t allow you to say it tastes bad!”
Bai Ningbing looked it overโit did look decent.
The taste shouldn’t be too far off, right?
So she took a small bite, thank goodness for that. If she’d taken a big one, her taste buds would’ve been attacked.
How could a sandwich be this salty? Did she mix up the sugar and salt?
Of course, Bai Ningbing guessed correctly.
She’d mixed up the salt and sugar, using salt where sugar should’ve been, and vice versa.
Just then, Lin Guanqi asked, “Well? How is it? Isn’t it even better than the ones you buy outside!”
“It’sโฆ it’s really delicious!”
“I knew it! I knew I couldn’t have done that badly! Last time I made breakfast for my family, they said it tasted bad. They were just jealous of my cooking talent!”
Uh oh, that compliment had gone to her head, and she couldn’t even see her own skill level now. Not wanting her to wreak havoc on others, Bai Ningbing said, “Since your food is so good, from now on you can only cook for me. You’re not allowed to cook for anyone else.”
Lin Guanqi patted her chest with confidence.
“No problem! From now on, Iโll only cook for you!”
In other words, from now on, she’d be the only one suffering from these experiments.
Enduring the imbalance of flavors, Bai Ningbing quickly finished off the plate of sandwiches, hoping speed would save her taste buds.
“Alright, alright, I’m full. Let’s go out and have some fun!”
Bai Ningbing had a feeling that if she stayed here any longer, Lin Guanqi would get interested in cooking again and might make something even more shocking.
“Sure! Letโs go have some fun!”
This suggestion successfully caught Lin Guanqiโs attention, and Bai Ningbing breathed a sigh of relief.
“Of course, since we’re abroad, itโs not just ordinary sightseeing. I heard there’s a huge amusement park hereโdo you want to check it out?”
At first, Lin Guanqi didnโt care much for amusement parksโweren’t those for kids?
But once Bai Ningbing sent her a photo and some details, she immediately changed her tune.
“Go, of course I want to go! Who doesnโt want to go to an amusement park?”
“How could a fun place like that not have me?”
Rainforest Amusement Park.
The construction and facilities here were top-notch, and the security was excellent. It was truly a refreshing place to visit abroad.
The two of them went to the ticket counter and bought a first-class ticket. Unlike back home, tickets here had a tiered system.
If you bought a first-class ticket, you got access to more things.
With second-class and third-class tickets, you didnโt get as much.
In fact, the first-class tickets offered more discounts overall.
Some areas were so expensively decorated that letting second- and third-class ticket holders in would be a loss, but a first-class ticket was 1888 yuan each.
Some people might think thatโs a rip-off, but the top amusement parks back home cost just as much. So really, there wasnโt much difference.
Of course, no need to name names.
“Damn, are you crazy? Two tickets at 1888 yuan each? Who knows if we’ll even get our money’s worth!”
The interpreter next to her translated this for the ticket seller, but she didnโt realize not everything could be translated literally.
The ticket seller patiently explained, and it actually changed her impression of foreigners. Sheโd always thought they were unreasonable.
“Uh, for our amusement facilities, the difference between first-class, second-class, and third-class tickets is mainly the amenities you can access. First-class gives you more entertainment options. Second and third have a big price difference from first, but you can make up for it in other ways.”
“We also have a special mission inside the parkโif you complete it, you can also access first-class areas. The only real difference is first-class ticket holders get priority entry to those areas.”
These words were then translated to Lin Guanqi.
Thinking it over, it did seem pretty fair.
Inside the amusement park.
Lin Guanqi figured, since there was a gap between rich and poor, there was no point fussing over foreign class systems. After all, no one seemed to mind, and making a big deal out of it would just be meddling.
Once inside, she finally realized the difference between first-class and the other tickets. She hadn’t expected the gap to be so wide.
The first thing she saw were the second- and third-class areas, with the first-class section sandwiched in between.
The facilities for second- and third-class were decent.
After all, even those tickets were over five hundred yuan apiece.
Up to now, she couldn’t imagine what was so magical about first-class that could outshine the othersโthey were already pretty luxurious.
But the moment she stepped inside, her worldview was shattered.
The first-class area wasn’t just an amusement parkโit was five-star service everywhere! Not only were there five-star restaurants and hotels right inside, you could just eat whenever you were tired, and it was all self-service.
By this calculation, the first-class ticket wasn’t expensive at all. Plus, if you did the special mission, even holders of second- and third-class tickets could get in, making it a real bargain.
“No wonder, no wonder this place is so popular! Now I get it!”
Lin Guanqi shook her head in admiration.
This was way better than a lot of places back home.
If only they had something like this back there, theyโd never have to worry about business again.
Bai Ningbing said, “See? I told you I wasn’t wrong! Abroad really is a great place. No wonder so many people come here to play.”
“Now I get why you wanted to bring me here! It really is fun!”
She went over to the Ferris wheel. If you asked why she was so fixated on it, she’d only have one answer.
I want to ride itโwhat of it? Does it bother you?
And Bai Ningbing, like someone who truly understood her partner, didn’t object at all and joined her in the Ferris wheel.
“You don’t find riding the Ferris wheel with me boring, do you?”
Bai Ningbing immediately replied, “Of course not! I think anything with you is fun.”
