Chapter 4: Naive
It must have been a dream again. Her vision was as if immersed in a swirling mist, filled with a hazy and indistinct feeling. All the scenes were as if they had been cut by a sharp little knife, shattered into countless small pieces, making it difficult to form a complete story.
The chaotic crowd in the morning was bustling and pushing forward. The noisy shouts of the vendors echoed in her ears. The hand-pulled noodles that had just been kneaded under the rolling pin were flipped in the air and thrown into the steaming noodle pot…
The scenes in the illusion were constantly changing, like a mirror that had been shattered on the ground. Countless meaningless scenes were intertwined and overlapped, making it more and more difficult to find the original appearance.
A small figure curled up in the gaps of the crowd, the old red bricks that were used to support the heavy boiler were covered with dense cracks, and the steaming water vapor that had suddenly exploded after a period of silence…
The lava-like hot water splashed and spread on the ground. She stood there in a daze. The street that had just been crowded was now empty, with only her left. She looked at the splashing and sputtering high-temperature water vapor rushing towards her, and for a moment, she didn’t realize what the consequences of continuing to stand there would be.
Time in the dream seemed to flow particularly slowly. She didn’t wait for the scorching hot water vapor. Before she could open her eyes, which were filled with fear, she was slowly enveloped by a similarly warm and hot touch. She curled up in the other party’s arms, her small body trembling with fear. She raised her head and stared blankly at the other party’s handsome and elegant face…
…
Her long, curled eyelashes trembled, chasing away the last bit of sleepiness. Her consciousness slowly returned, and her body’s perception of the outside world became clearer and clearer.
Su Xi opened her sleepy eyes and looked up from the boy’s arms. His serene and peaceful sleeping face was reflected in her bright pupils, overlapping with the last few impressions of her dream.
A handsome and elegant young man, reserved and gentle. He was her young man, a bitter and unrequited love that had spanned more than a decade.
These past few nights, she had slept unusually soundly. There was no sleeplessness, nor would she wake up from a nightmare. She slept comfortably and warmly, as if she were hugging a hot stove in the winter, and she wished she could just sleep like this forever.
She hugged the heat source in her arms tightly, like a little sloth, clinging to the boy’s body. She pressed her cheek against the boy’s broad and mature chest, listening to the other party’s warm and lively heartbeat, one… two… and slowly synchronized with her own heartbeat.
She was embracing the sun. Her whole body was melting into a pool of sticky butter under the scorching heat of the sun. Her consciousness was also stirred into a paste, blurry…
Su Xi licked her lips. Her moist lips were as pink as blooming cherry blossoms. She swallowed her thick saliva and looked up to kiss his thin, red lips.
But she hadn’t expected the other party’s eyes to suddenly open, his long, thick eyelashes struggling to fan out a beautiful and moving arc.
“You… you’re awake so early today.”
Su Xi blushed. Her little tongue, which had just been sticking out in a daze, was now frantically looking for a way back home. She swayed for a long time, at a loss, before she finally managed to hide it.
She felt so embarrassed. Her small head shrunk under the blanket, and only her large, round eyes were darting around, observing the boy’s reaction.
Su Yu just silently looked at the blush on Su Xi’s face for a few moments. He found a bit of the shyness and modesty that a girl of her age should have in her, but that was all. It didn’t stir up a single ripple in his heart. He turned his whole body with all his strength, wanting to turn over with his soft and weak muscles, no longer facing the girl’s face.
Su Xi wrinkled her small nose, a little unwilling. Was she that ugly? He would rather look at a bare white wall than look at her. She couldn’t help but question Su Yu, “Hey, why are you turning your back to me?”
Su Yu didn’t answer the girl. He didn’t want to waste his energy on meaningless things. He was breathing with difficulty, and the feeling of weakness in his muscles was as painful as if he had lost his limbs, becoming a physically disabled person. Even just turning over required all his strength.
“Look at me… you have to look at me. Your eyes can only see me. You’re not allowed to turn your back. Do you hear me?”
Su Xi puffed out her cheeks and warned him while grabbing his shoulder and easily pulling him back. The other party’s strenuous efforts were thus easily destroyed by her.
Su Yu’s current body couldn’t resist Su Xi’s manipulation at all. He lay on the bed, powerless, like an unconscious toy, being maliciously manipulated by the girl. His entire body was buried in the blanket by the girl, and he could no longer struggle. He could only stare at the girl’s smug smile with his resentful and humiliated eyes.
“So good. This looks much better.”
The girl squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly. Behind her dark and meticulous thoughts, there was actually such a naive and cute side. She was as mischievous as a child who didn’t know her limits. When she saw something she liked, she would reach out and grab it. No matter how overconfident she was, she would not give up. She was just single-mindedly pursuing her desires, which was another kind of simplicity.
“Su Xi… do you think this is fun?”
“It’s fun. As long as I’m happy, it’s fine. I haven’t settled the score with you for calling me an ugly monster. If you say it again, I’ll… I’ll…”
Thinking of this, Su Xi was suddenly furious. Since her disguise had been seen through, the boy had always had this attitude. He didn’t resist too much, but he was definitely not submissive. He seemed to know his limits clearly, which gave her a sense of powerlessness.
The little girl’s temper flared up. She felt that she had to get revenge on this stubborn stone. If the hard way didn’t work… then she would try the soft way!
She hugged the boy’s head, which was exposed outside the blanket, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and ignored the other party’s panicked eyes, and stuffed the boy’s head into her plump and soft chest.
“Wuwu… wuwu…”
Su Yu struggled to breathe. He was as if he were tightly wrapped in softness. The milky fragrance on the girl’s body was so strong that it almost suffocated him.
The struggle in her arms was not strong. The boy didn’t have much strength. Instead, there was a hot and rapid breath rushing in the dark and enclosed space, hitting her sensitive soft flesh directly. She couldn’t help but let out a whimper. Her brain trembled, and she fell into a void illusion. For a moment, she was in a daze, and her lower body was filled with an unbearable sourness. The fabric that had just been changed last night was instantly soaked. She was as if she were on a cloud.
Su Xi let go of the arm that was holding the boy’s neck. The other party immediately broke free like a fish craving a river and sea, gasping for fresh air. A blush spread up his fair neck like a rising tide. He didn’t know if it was because he couldn’t breathe or because he was ashamed.
“Su Xi, you… you’re simply…”
Su Yu had just caught his breath, and his reason had returned. He subconsciously wanted to scold the other party for such a childish act of revenge.
But the other party didn’t give him any chance. Su Xi gently turned his face, and almost devoutly, she kissed his thin, red, and soft lips deeply.
