Chapter 113
In the morning, Jiang Chenyin was the first to wake up. She took a moment to come to her senses, a small head rubbing against her chest.
The memories of last night suddenly awakened. She let out a sudden smile and looked down at the sleeping girl.
Bo Muyu’s current personality was much more mature than before, and her aura was also much stronger. Jiang Chenyin’s fingers traced from her eyes to the corners of her lips, imagining her serious expression at work, and also thinking of how she would still obediently listen to her.
Jiang Chenyin’s fingertip lingered on the side of her nose. She suddenly wrinkled her face and let out a small “hmm.”
Jiang Chenyin smiled silently, got out of bed gently, and after washing up and coming back, she drew the curtains to let the sunlight in. Bo Muyu showed no signs of waking up. After working for a week and rushing over, she was probably exhausted. She had even cried once last night.
Jiang Chenyin’s heart ached for her. She tiptoed to the bed and kissed her forehead.
Their phones had been silenced last night. After sending a few messages to her assistant, Jiang Chenyin brought her laptop to bed to deal with her emails.
When Bo Muyu woke up, this was the scene she saw. The gentle and beautiful woman was bathed in sunlight, her side profile clearly defined, and her features were imbued with a gentle and steady maturity that young women did not have. It was a charm that had been tempered by time.
It was those gentle, smiling eyes that had smoothed away all her doubts and disbelief last night.
She rubbed her eyes and let out a low laugh.
Hearing the movement, Jiang Chenyin closed her laptop and put it aside, then turned around and held her in a half-loose, half-tight embrace, lowering her head to ask, “You’re not sleeping anymore? It’s still early.”
“Mmm, I’ll just lie here for a bit…” Bo Muyu said, leaning lazily against Jiang Chenyin. Smelling the fragrance from her lips as she spoke, she was suddenly startled awake, her tone much more energetic. “I’ll go and wash up first. I’ll be right back.”
After she finished, she got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Jiang Chenyin thought for a moment, both helpless and amused.
So she was this nervous. After confirming their relationship, even the standard for lazing in bed was so high.
By the time she had finished washing up and had slipped back into bed with her fair, long legs swinging, Jiang Chenyin had reached out and pulled her into her arms. “Are you going back this afternoon?”
Bo Muyu was taken aback for a moment, leaned into her embrace, and let out a muffled “mmm.” “I have to work tomorrow.”
“Mmm…” Jiang Chenyin rested her chin on Bo Muyu’s forehead and said as she thought, “Then after we’ve eaten, we’ll go out for a walk, and I’ll take you to see Yuxin. And we’ll have an early dinner in the afternoon. I’ll take you to the airport.”
After she finished, she paused, lowered her head, and asked, “Is that okay?”
“Mmm, you can arrange it,” Bo Muyu said, snuggling comfortably in her embrace. Her inertia made her completely dependent on Jiang Chenyin. As long as she was around, she didn’t have to worry about anything.
Jiang Chenyin touched her face, resisting the urge to kiss her eyes again. “Do you want to finish the movie from last night? I’ve already told them that I’m not going over today.”
“Wouldn’t that be not very good? Will Sister Lan have an opinion?” Bo Muyu was clearly very happy but worriedly wrapped her arms around Jiang Chenyin’s waist.
Why did she feel that this was like a king neglecting his court… thinking of this, she suddenly felt that she could understand the foolish kings of ancient times. If it were her, she would have done the same.
“What opinion would she have? She’d be glad that no one is watching her,” Jiang Chenyin chuckled softly, trying her best to suppress the restless thoughts in her heart.
They had just started. If she were to touch Bo Muyu’s face or kiss her at every turn… wouldn’t that seem a bit too eager and inappropriate? Who would be thinking of kissing and touching all the time?
She was suddenly startled by this description of her own and felt that she had been led astray by Lan Yuxin. She quickly shook her head, went to get her computer, and picked out the movie from last night for Bo Muyu to continue watching.
Although it was a movie she had already seen, since Bo Muyu wanted to watch it, Jiang Chenyin also watched it with her, and very seriously at that. But after about half an hour, she found that Bo Muyu was staring at her.
She asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, “What’s wrong?”
Bo Muyu shook her head, her eyes very bright, like the meteor shower they had both seen, and the corners of her lips also curved up a little. “I just suddenly feel very happy. I’ve never been this happy before.”
She couldn’t get into the movie at all, because she was thinking about their current relationship. She was a little embarrassed to say it, but when the word “dating” slipped through her heart, her whole heart softened with it.
Jiang Chenyin smiled. This feeling of satisfaction and happiness, they should be the same. Before she had decided to firmly grasp this relationship, she had never thought that she would be able to experience this subtle feeling from Bo Muyu.
It was as if her mood was tied to the other person, rising and falling, all of it her.
“I’m very happy too,” Jiang Chenyin said, wanting to make her even happier without any reservation, and said to her in that warm, rich voice, “I’ve never been this happy before.”
“Then…” Bo Muyu frowned, bit her lip, and only after a long while did she manage to say the word, “Dating… what do you usually do?”
Jiang Chenyin held back a laugh. She had just thought that she had become much more mature, not as direct as before, and how long had it been before she was being direct again?
After asking, Bo Muyu felt her ears grow hot, and she clasped her hands together in a fluster. She really didn’t know what to do. She had never been in a relationship before, and for a while, she had thought that there was no possibility with Jiang Chenyin, so how would she have researched such a thing…
When she was nervous and serious, she would frown, her lips pressed together, looking a little fierce.
Jiang Chenyin couldn’t help but narrow her eyes and smile, her drawn-out tone captivating. “What do you think?”
“I think…” Bo Muyu grabbed her nightdress with both hands and looked up. “After you get back to Qinzhou, we can… um… date?”
She said the word “date” very softly. She was still a little embarrassed to say words related to dating. But it wasn’t that she was unwilling or didn’t want to say it. In fact, she liked it very much. Her heart had been sweet all along as she discussed this topic with Jiang Chenyin.
“And?” Jiang Chenyin feigned dissatisfaction and reached out to poke her puffing cheeks. “Dating is just shopping, eating, and watching movies. Besides that?”
Bo Muyu bit her lip and lowered her head, leaning against her shoulder and shaking her head. “I don’t know anymore.”
She looked so wronged, but also a little cute. It was a different kind of cute from her fierce little puppy look just now. Jiang Chenyin laughed inwardly. She felt as if she had developed some new hobby. She really wanted to continue teasing this Bo Muyu.
“There’s more. Do you want to know?” Jiang Chenyin’s lips were curved in a smile, and she reached out a hand to touch her face.
Of course she wanted to know.
She was attracted by Jiang Chenyin’s words and quickly looked up. At once, she fell into Jiang Chenyin’s deep and affectionate eyes. She could see herself reflected in those dark pupils, could feel the genuine affection, and also the arm that was wrapped around her shoulder had slid down to her waist.
Their breaths intertwined. She instantly understood what else she should do, what she had once thought of, and had also gotten in the name of a reward.
She gripped Jiang Chenyin’s nightdress even tighter, both expectant and nervous, her eyelashes trembling. She had liked Jiang Chenyin for so long, and they were dating now. They should kiss. No, they should start kissing. There would be more in the future.
Jiang Chenyin’s original intention was to tease Bo Muyu, not to think in the direction of kissing, but the current atmosphere made it impossible for her not to think so. The atmosphere was so suitable that the thought had suddenly shot up in her heart, and so the thoughts from not long ago had popped up again, instantly extinguishing the fire in her heart.
She was so old. She should have a good grasp of the progress. How could she be so lewd just as they had started? Yes, lewd. She had thought of kissing several times since she had gotten up this morning.
Now, their kisses were a couple’s behavior. They had only just started dating. How could they kiss so much…
Jiang Chenyin quickly let go of her hand and said with a feigned calmness, “Let’s talk about this next time… let’s continue watching the movie. The breakfast Xiao Lu bought should be here soon.”
Bo Muyu was a little disappointed, and the light in her eyes instantly went out. “Can’t you tell me now? I want to know.”
Had she guessed wrong? If the situation just now had continued, wouldn’t it have been…
“Be good. Um… it’s not good to say it now. I’ll tell you when we get back,” Jiang Chenyin comforted her softly, sighing deeply in her heart, and began to regret why she had teased her just now.
Bo Muyu shot her a slightly resentful look, nodded, but hugged her waist very tightly.
Not long after, Xiao Lu replied to Jiang Chenyin with a message saying that she had already bought breakfast. After they had finished eating, Jiang Chenyin sent Xiao Lu away and led Bo Muyu out of the hotel.
Jinghe City was not famous for its film studio, but for a river here. Under the sunlight, the wide river was like a huge mirror, and the city had gotten its name from it.
Jiang Chenyin took Bo Muyu to the Jinghe scenic area, rented a small boat, and the two of them stood on the deck, holding hands and basking in the sunlight. They had gone out to play together many times, but this was the first time they had gone out together as a couple.
The excitement of both of them flowed from each other’s eyes. Jiang Chenyin could still restrain herself a little, but Bo Muyu couldn’t suppress her happiness at all. She hugged Jiang Chenyin’s arm and quickly walked to the edge of the boat, pointing at the school of fish that was swimming with the boat under the clear water that was penetrated by the sunlight.
The boatman was a simple and honest middle-aged man, and he sighed with a smile that the two sisters’ relationship was really good.
Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other tacitly, the hands they were holding tightened at the same time, and they smiled at each other.
They spent the whole afternoon playing outside, and they didn’t even have time to see Lan Yuxin. They also had an early dinner at a local restaurant in Jinghe.
As the setting sun first appeared, Jiang Chenyin had her assistant find a car, and she personally took Bo Muyu to the airport.
Just as she was about to open the door to go out, Jiang Chenyin stopped in her tracks and said to Bo Muyu, “I’ll be back in a week. It’ll be soon.”
“I know. You’ve already told me,” Bo Muyu said softly, taking Jiang Chenyin’s hand.
In the afternoon, she had been a little embarrassed when they had first gone out, and so had Jiang Chenyin. But after having fun to their heart’s content, they seemed to have gone back to the past, but they were moving in a new direction.
“Then send me a message when you get back, or call me,” Jiang Chenyin said, touching her face. “You ate too early tonight. If you’re hungry when you get back, cook something for yourself.”
“I know,” Bo Muyu’s lips curved up slightly. “I’ll definitely send you a message.”
Jiang Chenyin let out a soft laugh and said gently, “It’s different now, so…” she hesitated, and pinched Bo Muyu’s cheek.
Her slightly annoyed look was caught by Bo Muyu. She pressed her lips together, took a step closer to her, and wrapped her arms around her, holding her tightly, and whispered in her ear in that clean voice, “I know what you mean, and I don’t think it’s bad. I like it very much… you don’t have to feel that you shouldn’t show this kind of dependence because of our original relationship, or your age. I’m younger than you, but we are equals.”
Jiang Chenyin was taken aback for a moment. Before she could recover, she heard Bo Muyu continue in a small voice, “We are lovers. This is what it should be.”
Jiang Chenyin closed her eyes and said softly, “Mmm, I understand,” her emotions soothed that only reluctance remained. She gently curved her lips, about to lower her head to rub her cheek against Bo Muyu’s, but just as she did, Bo Muyu turned her head slightly to meet her gaze, and her lips brushed against the corner of hers.
The softness of that moment brought a subtle experience, making both of them hold their breath.
Jiang Chenyin looked at Bo Muyu deeply, her gaze unconsciously falling on her pink, moist lips. They were hugging, so close, and Bo Muyu quickly felt Jiang Chenyin’s gaze lower. She couldn’t calm down, and she subconsciously bit her lower lip, her breath intertwined as she waited in anticipation.
She watched as the red lips that she had once greedily taken a little warmth from with her fingertips pressed down, gently touching the corner of her lips. Her mind suddenly went blank, and her whole person felt light, because Jiang Chenyin was kissing her lightly and densely, from the corner of her lips to her lips, tracing them carefully.
Just this was enough to make her hands tremble as she wrapped them around Jiang Chenyin’s neck. They had not yet deepened, but she could already feel Jiang Chenyin’s warmth. Jiang Chenyin was being considerate of her feelings, so light and slow that she could completely remember every light kiss, and also so slow that her face turned red.
It was a very shallow kiss, but its duration was enough for Bo Muyu to feel Jiang Chenyin’s patience and gentleness towards her.
She felt that her face was ridiculously hot. She tried to take Jiang Chenyin’s lips into her mouth and lick them with the tip of her tongue. She felt the hands behind her tighten, and Jiang Chenyin’s breath surrounded her even more heavily. She began to pant.
Jiang Chenyin still had a bit of rationality left and quickly stopped. The moment their lips separated, Bo Muyu let out a soft, dissatisfied hum, fine and soft.
“Xiao Lu is still waiting for us downstairs. There might be a traffic jam on the way…” Jiang Chenyin found a reason for why she had stopped. She touched the corner of Bo Muyu’s lips, her heart stirring again.
“Mmm… let’s go,” Bo Muyu licked her lips and secretly glanced up at Jiang Chenyin’s lips.
“Wait,” Jiang Chenyin said, trying her best to ignore her pounding heart. She turned back to her suitcase, and after finding a set of keys, she quickly came back and stuffed them into Bo Muyu’s palm. “These are the keys to my house, the ones you’ve been using.”
Bo Muyu was taken aback for a moment and stuffed them back to her. “I don’t want them.”
Jiang Chenyin was taken aback, her whole person frozen on the spot.
“That’s not what I mean,” Bo Muyu said, taking the hand Jiang Chenyin was holding the keys with. Her cheeks were still flushed from the kiss just now, and her eyes were serious and affectionate. “I don’t want to go back by myself. I want you to take me back.”
