Chapter 17: Her Nimble Lips and Tongue Sucked and Teased Out a Bit of Warm Blood

The thin blanket wrapped around them both.

The soft body on top pressed tightly against hers.

Pei Ruyu raised her hand to push, but couldn’t push her away. Instead, she heard an aggrieved call.

“Is sister trying to drive me away again?”

Pei Ruyu laughed in anger: “Didn’t you run away first?”

“I just wanted to show sister that I’m serious. I really want to stay in the city where you are.”

The voice at her neck was muffled.

“When sister was drunk, she was still anxious, afraid I’d leave her.”

“I just wanted to reassure sister. I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to be so angry.”

The memory of her drunkenly clinging to Miao Qingzhi at the bar was still fresh.

That had just been her unreasonable jealousy.

She hadn’t expected this person to remember and take to heart every word she said.

Pei Ruyu’s heart stirred, and she felt herself softening.

Hearing the faint sob in her voice, she finally couldn’t help raising her hand to gently stroke the back of the girl’s head.

Fine. She wouldn’t sulk with a sick, delicate girl anymore.

“Alright. I’m not angry. Don’t cry.”

Only then did the person on top raise her head, lightly biting her neck and pouting: “But you hit me just now.”

By the time Pei Ruyu reacted, her right hand had already been pulled and pressed against the girl’s thigh.

Exactly where she’d casually slapped earlier.

“It hurts. Sister, rub it for me.”

The voice at her ear was soft and seductive, luring her to sink.

The skin beneath her palm was smooth and tender, hard to let go of.

After dazedly stroking back and forth over that tender skin several times, her fingertip just barely hooking the edge of the underwear she’d helped put on, Pei Ruyu belatedly snapped back to reality.

Phew. Close call. She’d almost been fooled again.

Annoyed, she raised her hand and slapped the girl’s rear hard.

“Mmph…”

The head buried in her neck finally lifted.

Seeing her shocked, disbelieving expression, Pei Ruyu pressed her lips together to suppress her smile.

“There. That’s what hitting is. You weren’t falsely accused.”

She’d finally gotten revenge for the brat teasing her all night.

Pei Ruyu was very satisfied.

But the person on top only froze for a moment before shyly speaking.

“If sister likes playing like that…”

“That’s not impossible either…”

Pei Ruyu: […]

Damn hand. Why did it have to be so mischievous!

“I don’t have that kind of fetish…”

Seeing the barely concealed anticipation in Miao Qingzhi’s eyes, Pei Ruyu inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine and quickly added: “And you’re not allowed to either!”

Miao Qingzhi regretfully lowered her eyes.

Sigh. What a shame.

Not giving Miao Qingzhi a chance to say anything more shocking, Pei Ruyu directly wrapped her arm around the girl’s waist, flipped over, set her back on the bed, and fled.

“You sleep first. I’ll go tidy up.”

After hastily washing her face with cold water, Pei Ruyu finally calmed the restless desire in her heart.

On the bathroom sink were brand new matching couple’s toothbrush cups and toothbrushes.

Pei Ruyu didn’t stand on ceremony and directly opened the remaining new toothbrush that belonged to her.

Not just those—the towel rack also had new towels, also in matching couple’s sets.

She’d only been focused on Miao Qingzhi’s injuries earlier. Only now did she have a chance to look around the apartment.

Everything was fully equipped, even daily necessities almost all provided.

Even slippers, water cups… all personal items, Miao Qingzhi had prepared in couple’s sets.

Noticing these details, the smile on Pei Ruyu’s lips could no longer be suppressed.

So she really planned to stay in this city long-term?

A thread of sweetness rose in Pei Ruyu’s heart.

She didn’t dare go back to the room now, afraid of being swept away by beauty again.

She simply gathered all of Miao Qingzhi’s discarded clothes, inside and out, and washed them.

The same task, less than two days apart, and Pei Ruyu was already doing it willingly.

In her joy, Pei Ruyu failed to notice the faint smell of blood wafting from Miao Qingzhi’s clothes.

Washed, hung up.

Dawdling for nearly half an hour, having somewhat calmed her excited heart, Pei Ruyu finally returned to the room.

And the brat who’d tormented her emotions all day was sleeping soundly in bed.

The room light was off, only a small night light by the bed still glowing.

Crouching by the bed, chin in hand, she looked at her face for a long time.

Pei Ruyu finally couldn’t help reaching out to touch her brow.

“You. Why are you so good at tormenting people?”

Her movements were gentle, her gaze tender.

Her fingertip traced from Miao Qingzhi’s brow to the corner of her eye.

Then from the corner of her eye down, landing on those rosy lips, gently stroking.

The girl with closed eyes seemed to unconsciously rub against her hand, murmuring: “Sister… don’t leave me…”

That was an intimate, dependent unconscious action.

Pei Ruyu’s heart softened.

So reluctant to let her go?

Pressing a gentle kiss to Miao Qingzhi’s forehead, Pei Ruyu climbed into bed and, with a smile, pulled the girl into her arms.

Breathing in the girl’s strange fragrance, Pei Ruyu’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

As she sank into deep sleep, the person pressed against her neck secretly curved her lips.

Cool lips quietly covered Pei Ruyu’s neck.

Then sharp teeth emerged and pierced the skin.

A light force.

A shallow wound.

Nimble lips and tongue sucked and teased out some warm blood.

Savoring the increasingly fragrant blood, Miao Qingzhi curved her lips in satisfaction.

A good night’s sleep.

Without the usual agonizing torment, Pei Ruyu’s mood was much better.

Early in the morning, Pei Ruyu took Miao Qingzhi to the hospital.

This was already her fifth visit to this hospital this month.

Familiar with the process, she registered Miao Qingzhi, accompanied her through all the tests, and managed to get the results before the doctor’s lunch break.

“Dust mite allergy.”

In the dermatology consultation room, the female doctor lifted the hem of Miao Qingzhi’s clothes and looked at her lower back. “But your symptoms are quite severe. You’d better be hospitalized for observation. We can also run a few more allergen tests to rule things out.”

Dermatology, and needing hospitalization?

How serious was it?!

Pei Ruyu’s heart tightened. She quickly asked: “It’s not serious, is it?”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s mainly because a patient yesterday had exactly the same condition. They didn’t take it seriously, went into shock, and had to be brought back for emergency treatment.”

The doctor paused, then added: “She doesn’t have medical insurance, right? If hospitalization is inconvenient, that’s fine too. Just remember to come to the emergency room promptly if symptoms worsen.”

Pei Ruyu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief: “It’s convenient, it’s convenient. Hospitalization is safer. Is there anything else to watch out for? Can you prescribe some medicine to stop the itching first?”

Doctor: “Alright. Go pay the hospitalization fee first. The nurse will bring you the medication…”

Miao Qingzhi, sitting in the chair, only listened to their conversation with lowered eyes, listlessly leaning against the standing Pei Ruyu.

How embarrassing.

If the sect found out she’d ended up hospitalized just from playing with gu, they’d definitely laugh at her.

But feeling Pei Ruyu’s rare anxiety and concern, she ultimately swallowed her refusal and indulged Pei Ruyu’s arrangements.

Seeing her dejected, Pei Ruyu thought she was scared. During a lull while the doctor typed up the case, she didn’t forget to lower her head and gently stroke the head in her arms.

Her tone was extremely gentle.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Miao Qingzhi forced a faint smile and looked up at her.

“Thank you, sister. It’s so good to have you.”

Still that fragile yet resilient flower look, with a hint of adoration in her eyes.

Pei Ruyu’s heart felt full and warm.

Queuing to pay, handling the admission procedures.

Running around for Miao Qingzhi all morning, she didn’t find it troublesome at all. She even enjoyed the girl’s moved expression.

However, the moment she was led by the nurse into that double room and saw the familiar face lying in the hospital bed, the faint smile on Pei Ruyu’s lips finally couldn’t hold.

“Pei Ruyu?! How dare you come see me? Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because of this!”

Zhou Wei’s face was now covered in red spots. Seeing the little green tea following behind Pei Ruyu, the smugness on her face instantly turned to fury: “You even dare bring that mistress here? Are you here to humiliate me!?”

So this was the allergic patient the doctor mentioned who’d been sent for emergency treatment.

What terrible luck, running into her here.

Looking at her face and hands covered in red spots, she really was pitiful.

Pei Ruyu couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. She directly turned to the nurse: “Can we switch rooms?”

The nurse hadn’t yet recovered her shocked, gossip-hungry expression.

“Um… but this department only has this one bed left… There’s no other room…”

Pei Ruyu felt a headache coming.

But the girl beside her took her hand and gently shook it.

“Sister, it’s fine. Let’s just stay here.”

Zhou Wei finally realized why they were here.

But seeing the little green tea’s seemingly magnanimous, self-sacrificing attitude only made her angrier. She grabbed an apple from the bedside table and threw it at her.

“Who are you trying to spite by staying here! Get out!”

Pei Ruyu was quick. She quickly shielded Miao Qingzhi in her arms and stepped back.

Fortunately, Zhou Wei’s strength and aim weren’t great. The apple only landed at their feet and rolled away.

If they stayed here, there would be no peace.

Not wanting to make a scene here, Pei Ruyu wrapped her arm around the girl and retreated from the room.

To outsiders, it looked no different from fleeing in guilt.

The young nurse’s gaze moved back and forth among the three parties. Seeing that the patient inside had calmed down under her companion’s comfort, she hurriedly followed them out, trying to get more gossip.

At the door, Miao Qingzhi dejectedly lowered her head, her forehead lightly resting against Pei Ruyu’s shoulder.

“Sister, I’m sorry. I’ve caused you more trouble.”

This made Pei Ruyu feel even guiltier.

She directly pulled the aggrieved girl, who wanted to hug her but didn’t dare, into her arms, patting her back gently.

“It’s not your fault. I’m the one who made you suffer…”

Only then did Miao Qingzhi wrap her arms around Pei Ruyu’s waist, pressing close against her.

Looking up through the small observation window in the door, meeting Zhou Wei’s furious gaze, Miao Qingzhi only curved her lips slightly and gave her a polite smile.

The sound of things being thrown inside grew louder.

The young nurse beside them was stunned speechless.
