After Breaking Up With the Scheming Bad Woman 95

Chapter 95: “I Couldn’t Help It, Xingxing.”

After this clap of thunder, for the next few minutes, there was only the incessant sound of rain.

During this period, Huai Xing always covered Chu Wantang’s soft ears. The clear curve of her auricles seemed to want to be deeply imprinted in her palm. In addition, her gaze was always on Chu Wantang’s face, and they were looking at each other.

But in fact, from the second they had looked at each other, everything seemed to have been blocked out, as if they had both been pulled back to the many thunderstormy nights of five years ago.

At that time, they had each other. They would hold hands, hug, and cling to each other, confirming each other’s existence.

Unfortunately, it was only five years ago, not the present.

When she felt that the thunder would not come for a short time, Huai Xing’s long lashes trembled. She came back to her senses and withdrew her hands.

The next second, her hand was gently held by Chu Wantang.

Chu Wantang had recovered some of her thoughts and said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you.”

“I came back to get something,” Huai Xing said, revealing the reason she had prepared. “And to see if you were working overtime. You don’t have to work so hard. Isn’t our meeting progress consistent? There’s still a little time.”

“I want to be invested in my work. Otherwise, I can’t sleep.”

Huai Xing wrinkled her nose. “Why can’t you sleep?”

“…” Chu Wantang could not answer the two words “I miss you.” She could only be forced back to the position of a friend for the time being, and she had also told Huai Xing that she would not bring this up again.

So she spat out two words, “Anxiety.”

Huai Xing was silent for a few seconds. “I’m sorry for bringing you so much work pressure.”

“Don’t apologize. I’m more than happy to.”

Huai Xing slowly withdrew her hand, first picking up the tissue that had fallen on the pillow and throwing it into the trash can, and suggested, “Do you want to take a shower?” Her gaze swept down from top to bottom. “You’re sweating a lot.”

She then added, “I don’t think it will thunder again.”

“…How did you know?” The matter of being afraid of thunder.

Huai Xing pointed to her own head. “Because I have this. Didn’t expect that, did you?”

Chu Wantang’s gloom tonight had dissipated a lot. Hearing this, she chuckled lightly. “I did.”

“Alright, you go take a shower. It’s not comfortable to sleep when you’re sticky,” Huai Xing said, standing up. “I’m going to the living room.”

Chu Wantang blinked her still-moist long lashes and asked, “Can I just stay here?” She pointed to the chair in front of the desk. “You can also sit here.”

Huai Xing pulled out the chair and gave her answer with her actions.

Chu Wantang lifted the comforter and got out of bed. She was covered in sweat, both cold and stuffy.

The closet was facing the desk. When she opened the closet, Huai Xing turned her head to look at the desk.

Lest she see something she shouldn’t.

Before long, Huai Xing was the only one left in the bedroom. She propped her chin on her hand on the desk, her fingertips tapping her face, and she stared at the already yellowed spring letter.

What was the point of keeping it? It was already like this. And this speaker, had it not broken after five years? No, if it had broken after five years, then it would have been a waste of the several thousand she had spent on it. How could it only be used for five years?

Suddenly, she remembered the “Chu Chu” she had subconsciously said, and her fingertips stopped tapping, and she instead pressed her forehead.

A sigh sounded. She could only hope that Chu Wantang had not heard her at that time.

Her phone screen lit up at this moment. It was her friends in the group chat, chatting. Lu Xianyue was asking if they wanted to play poker together later, wanting to win their money.

Wen Shiwei said it was okay, and Lu Zhenyue also said it was no problem. Only Huai Xing had not answered. Lu Xianyue circled her. [Xiao Xing, what about you?]

Huai Xing, who was in the city, pressed her forehead again, pondered for a few seconds, and replied: [I was tired from rock climbing today. I’m going to sleep.]

Lu Zhenyue: [Did you pull a muscle?]

Lu Xianyue: [Are your muscles sore?]

[No.] Huai Xing really couldn’t continue to chat with them, for fear that they would want to see her in person to show their concern.

Under her guilt, she quickly sent a “good night, everyone,” and hastily exited the group chat. And in order not to be noticed by them, she would have to rush back before dawn tomorrow.

Was it worth it, to be so rushed?

She lowered her eyes, her mind a little confused, but there was one answer that was firm.

There was no such thing as worth it or not, only whether she was willing or not.

She couldn’t pretend not to know when she knew that Chu Wantang was afraid of thunder. She didn’t know to what extent, and she wanted to come over to confirm. And now she knew the answer. It was more serious than she had imagined. She let out a series of helpless sighs.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Wantang came out of the bathroom with a full body of moisture.

She pushed open the door and saw the back of the person sitting at the desk. The dimples that had not appeared for a long time finally deigned to show a little. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the young woman in the chair turned around, looked at her, and asked with sparkling almond eyes, “Is it much more comfortable?”

“It is,” Chu Wantang said, looking at the sweat-soaked bed. “But the four-piece set needs to be changed.”

Huai Xing: “Mm.”

She remembered that Chu Wantang was a bit of a clean freak. No matter how much trouble it was, she would change it. Thinking of leaving here quickly, she took the initiative to say, “I’ll help you.”

Chu Wantang nodded with a smile. “Thanks.”

The two of them took off the four-piece set on the bed together. Chu Wantang took out a new set from the closet, which was also a fresh green.

I’ve never seen you like green so much before.

Huai Xing did not say this out loud and could only complain in her heart, because the Chu Wantang in front of her was not in a drunken state like last time. Her muttering had to be swallowed back and not be heard.

The bed was very wide, two and a half meters, and it was not so convenient to change the four-piece set.

Huai Xing was pulling at the two corners at the bottom. Before she could use any force, Chu Wantang shook the comforter on the bed, which also made her lose her balance.

Her knees bent, and she fell forward, covered by the slowly falling comforter.

Her vision was dark, and the fragrance of the laundry detergent entered her nasal cavity.

She propped herself up and was about to get up. Coincidentally, Chu Wantang lifted the comforter and lay down beside her, then pressed her shoulder and pushed her down on the bed.

Her vision returned to light, but there was an extra Chu Wantang who was very close.

Chu Wantang’s hair was tied up in a bun, and she was wearing a button-up pajama. But in this propped-up posture, the collar was a little open, and you could see her beautiful and elegant collarbone.

Huai Xing asked with a calm and composed look, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m still scared…” Chu Wantang’s eyes welled up with tears. “Can you hug me again, Xingxing?”

Huai Xing turned her face away, her attitude nonchalant. “Mm.”

Chu Wantang lowered herself and leaned over, their legs touching.

She hooked her arm around Huai Xing’s waist and buried her face in the side of Huai Xing’s neck, not pressing her lips against it like she had when she was drunk last time, but still keeping a little distance.

Huai Xing was so stiff that she did not hug her back, and was just a human pillow.

“The meaning of returning to get something is that you have to go back early, right?” Chu Wantang asked, her scorching breath spraying on the skin of Huai Xing’s neck.

She remembered that this place was very sensitive.

Huai Xing’s throat moved slightly, and her attitude was still nonchalant. “Yes.”

“When?” Chu Wantang said, smelling the fragrance on Huai Xing’s body. “It’s still raining now. It’s too late. It’s not convenient to go out. The weather forecast says it will rain for several hours, so are you going back tomorrow morning?”

“…Yes,” she answered with a single word, looking as if she were too lazy to say another word.

The next second, this time there was no flash of lightning, but a muffled thunder came through the window.

Huai Xing subconsciously turned her head, and her hands, which were on her sides, went to cover Chu Wantang’s ears.

The distance was closer, and also more dangerous.

This muffled thunder was really muffled, not loud enough, and not without any sound, just like the sky had sneezed a little, and it quickly disappeared.

Huai Xing looked at the features that were so close, only feeling that the subtle atmosphere was woven into a dense and impenetrable net, making her unable to escape.

She simply freed a hand to pull the comforter over their heads, covering their eyes, not looking, trying to hide everything in the dimness.

Unfortunately, it was of no use at all.

Chu Wantang propped herself up on one elbow, pressed against her, and captured her lips. She first traced the shape of her lips, and then her hot, moist tongue probed into her mouth. Her other hand was also habitually on the top of her head, gently rubbing her head.

After a week, their breaths were once again entangled, a mess. And this time, both of them were very sober. There was no peach wine smell, but it was also sweet.

Their legs were intertwined at some point. Huai Xing gently pressed against Chu Wantang’s shoulder, her chin lifted a little, and her throat was constantly rolling.

The sound of the rain outside the window was once again blocked out. The two of them couldn’t hear a thing, only the familiar sound of kissing.

Chu Wantang kissed very deeply, as if she didn’t want to let go of this hard-won opportunity. Her tongue plundered in her beloved’s mouth, wanting to absorb more.

The hand that was close was rubbing Huai Xing’s equally sensitive and cute earlobe, which was like a jade pendant.

In the small space, they once again lost their concept of time. Only two soft and slippery tongues were constantly entangled, chasing each other.

Their chests were rising and falling in sync, and their heartbeats were also resonating.

Huai Xing didn’t know when she had caressed the back of Chu Wantang’s neck. Her palm was full of the woman’s body temperature, and what she felt in her mouth was even more direct.

After a long while, Chu Wantang seemed to remember to restrain herself. She withdrew from Huai Xing’s mouth. The comforter was still on the back of her head, blocking most of the warm light of the small night light. But by this light, she could also clearly see Huai Xing’s pink and moist lips from being kissed by her.

She couldn’t see it clearly last time. This time, she had made up for it.

Huai Xing was calming her breathing, and she also seemed to have just remembered. Her lips parted slightly. “Why did you kiss me?”

“I heard you call me Chu Chu…” Chu Wantang confessed, her voice soft and gentle. “I couldn’t help it, Xingxing.”

The nature of this form of address was different. For them, it was extremely ambiguous, and in the past, it was more suitable for when they were in bed.

Huai Xing stared at Chu Wantang’s shining eyes in the dimness. She knew that calling her that would cause problems, and she knew that Chu Wantang had heard her. She knew that she shouldn’t have come tonight.

But she knew that she was not resisting. Otherwise, she could have pushed her away just now, but she hadn’t. Instead, she had welcomed it.

A silence swept over them at this moment. Chu Wantang lowered her head again and pecked Huai Xing’s chin lightly.

Slowly, she kissed Huai Xing’s beautiful eyes again, and then her cheek, and whispered, “…Give me a little more, Xingxing.”

“An hour and a half.”

“Hmm?”

“On the night you were drunk, I pressed the timer. From the moment I hugged you, we spent an hour and a half together,” Huai Xing said, her voice also very light, but with a hint of determination. “That day was not an accident, nor was it a gift. You can understand it as an adult’s impulse.”

“But I was the one who crossed the line last time, so, before the big show is over, I’ll only return the ninety-minute kiss, regardless of the number of times. The one just now doesn’t count.”
