Let’s rewind the time a bit, back to when the two of them had just lain down.
Sure enough, Su Ling was really afraid of loneliness. When she got off work and came home today, she thought I wasn’t there and was scared out of her wits.
Humph, then I’ll keep Su Ling company while she sleeps. It’s definitely not because I really want to cuddle with a girl or anything.
Ruan Zhixian lay on one side of the bed, thoroughly smug.
Come to think of it, this is probably the first time I’ve ever shared a bed with a girl. In my past life as a shut-in, I never had a girlfriend.
In this life, I’ve always been receiving Young Lady Education at home, rarely getting the chance to have such intimate contact with anyone.
Thinking it over, it really is quite incredible. Logically, someone like me, raised with proper Young Lady Education, wouldn’t easily let others get this close.
Yet somehow, facing Su Ling, I unconsciously throw aside all those formalities and show my true self.
It seems like it’s been this way ever since the first time I met Su Ling, hasn’t it?
Why is that?
Ruan Zhixian thought hard but couldn’t come up with an answer, so she stopped overthinking. She turned over toward Su Ling; her golden hair flowed like waves over the pure white pillowcase.
“Good night, Su Ling.”
The girl whispered softly, a faint smile tugging at her lips. Then she flipped the switch to turn off the light and sank into silence.
“Mm, good night, Zhixian.”
On the other side, the black-haired girl’s cheeks flushed as she replied in the dark.
So why did things end up like this!
Back to the present, Su Ling felt a little overwhelmed.
She had clearly planned to wait until Zhixian fell asleep before sneaking an attack on her, but Su Ling hadn’t expected that after falling asleep, Ruan Zhixian would suddenly wrap her up like an octopus, using all her limbs.
“Ugh, ugh, I feel like I’m about to suffocate……”
At this moment, Su Ling was trapped deep inside Zhixian’s huge embrace, struggling to catch her breath—both in pain and pleasure.
“Why is Zhixian’s there so much bigger than mine… and… ugh! It feels so uncomfortable!”
The poor Miss Sickly hadn’t even had a chance to do anything tonight before she felt stifled, then blacked out. Today’s contest between Ruan Zhixian and Su Ling was a victory for the Giant Slime~
“Ugh, ugh, no! I don’t want to be eaten by a Giant Slime! I’ll suffocate!”
The black-haired beauty suddenly woke up from a nightmare, still shaken.
“Ugh, I still feel a bit uncomfortable.”
Su Ling helplessly realized that although it was already the next morning, she was still being held tightly by Ruan Zhixian.
It seemed that last night she had been smothered unconscious by Zhixian’s great evil. What a pity! She had even planned to sneakily do this and that with Zhixian!
But Zhixian in her sleep looked so cute~
Right now, Ruan Zhixian’s face was half-buried in the soft feather pillow, showing her adorable nose bridge. Her golden hair spread behind her head, gleaming softly in the morning light.
Her pair of laughing peach blossom eyes were quietly closed, long lashes casting fragile shadows that fluttered gently with her breath.
Her lips parted slightly, revealing a hint of cute pearl-white teeth; the gentle exhalation carried the sweet scent of deep sleep, intoxicating to anyone who noticed.
Su Ling looked at the girl before her, her phoenix eyes slowly softening.
No, although I didn’t get to do any naughty things last night, isn’t now the perfect opportunity!
Thinking this, Su Ling suddenly came to a realization, licking her vermilion lips as a subtle mischievous flame ignited in her heart.
“Sorry, Zhixian, I’m going to do something bad now.”
The black-haired girl slowly freed her hands from their restraints, one hand gently reaching out to the golden-haired girl, softly brushing aside the strands of hair falling across her face.
The other propped up her cheek, bringing her lips gradually closer to the girl, bit by bit.
“Ah~ it feels so nice to sleep~”
Just as the distance between them shrank to a mere breath, the golden-haired girl suddenly opened her eyes.
“Huh, Su Ling, why are you so close to me?”
“N-no, it’s nothing…”
The black-haired girl flustered, her small face flushed red as she spoke.
“I just saw some hair was about to fall into your eyes and was worried you’d be uncomfortable, so I wanted to help blow it away, that’s all.”
No sneaky kiss after all…
Su Ling hurriedly responded, feeling a little disappointed inside that Zhixian had woken up so suddenly.
“Is that so? Thank you, Su Ling! Cuddle!”
The golden-haired girl quickly pressed her cheek against the black-haired girl’s, rubbing softly.
“Zhixian, why…”
Su Ling blankly covered her own cheek; through her fingers she could see the delicate skin slightly reddened from their close contact.
“This? This is my thank you to Su Ling, and a good morning! What’s wrong, don’t you like it?”
“No! I really like it! Uh, I’ll go wash up first!”
After saying that, the black-haired girl covered her face and hurriedly fled.
In the bathroom, Su Ling closed the door and leaned against the cold tiled wall, letting the chill seep into her skin as she calmed her racing thoughts.
Really, Zhixian is always so gentle. How can I not like you? How can I not…
Damn it, Qiujin, it’s me you should blame for this……………
But I really can’t help it. Who made me like you so much? Who made me so unable to live without you? Who made you so lovable, and who made me so unable to let go of you?
When I heard the news that you were going to marry someone else, do you know how much it hurt? How much it hurt that you were going to betray me? How much it hurt that the person marrying you wouldn’t be me?
There was no other way. I could only try to keep you by my side in my own way.
I’m sorry, Zhixian.
At the sink, the black-haired girl’s eyes were as dark as ink, a storm raging beneath the surface.
***
In the bedroom.
“Oh my, I was really startled when I just woke up. I thought Su Ling wanted to secretly kiss me.”
“But where would a beautiful girl like Su Ling, who’s on my level, secretly have a crush on me? She just wanted to help blow my hair, that’s all. Ruan Zhixian, Ruan Zhixian, you don’t even know if she’s a yuri or not, so don’t go acting like a lovestruck fool!”
Ruan Zhixian patted her slightly flushed cheeks, muttering to herself.
“All right, while Su Ling is still washing up, I’ll go see what delicious things are in the kitchen today!”
