Whoosh!
The door slid open.
In her panic, Liang Sheng didn’t react at all. She simply crossed her arms tightly over her chest.
“Hmm~ Got some nerve, don’t you? Sharing a room with another girl and not even bothering to lock the door?” It was that familiar, magnetic voice Liang Sheng knew so well.
Liang Sheng looked up sharply. It was Senior Sister Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi stood there with her arms crossed, pulling the door shut behind her before leaning against it. A faint smile played on her lips as she gazed at Liang Sheng.
“Senior Sister Yuqi? W-what are you doing here?” Liang Sheng let out a shaky breath, but she kept her arms firmly in place over her chest.
Gu Yuqi arched an eyebrow. “What? Not welcome?”
“Of course you’re welcome! But, Senior Sister Yuqi, I’m in the middle of a bath here. Could you wait outside until I’m done~?” Liang Sheng felt a flush of embarrassment. Gu Yuqi’s eyes were fixed intently on her chest, making her squirm uncomfortably.
Gu Yuqi chuckled—a sly, mischievous kind of laugh.
Sure enough, she moved. Liang Sheng thought she was finally heading for the door.
Instead, Gu Yuqi walked straight toward her, shrugging off her top as she came.
“What?!” Liang Sheng stared in shock, feeling utterly small, pitiful, and helpless in that moment.
“We’re both girls. Can’t we share a bath?” Gu Yuqi echoed words Liang Sheng herself often used.
It made a certain kind of sense, but still! Liang Sheng’s heart raced wildly. She couldn’t help shrinking back into the corner of the tub.
Gu Yuqi finished stripping off her top and started on her pants.
Liang Sheng swallowed hard—not in excitement, but pure nerves.
Her senior sister’s figure was pretty great overall. The breasts were a tad small, but still!
Gu Yuqi pulled her hair up into a high bun and stepped up to the edge of the tub. “Can Senior Sister join Little Junior Sister Liang Sheng for a soak?”
“I-if Senior Sister wants to, of course you can!” Liang Sheng’s lips trembled as she spoke.
Gu Yuqi didn’t stand on ceremony. She dipped one foot into the tub first.
Wow! Those legs!
Gu Yuqi had perfect legs, the kind that drove Liang Sheng—a total leg fanatic—crazy enough to want to wrap herself around them and plant a few kisses (though that thought was downright weird).
Liang Sheng wasn’t just a leg girl; she was also into hands, voices, and faces. Height? Meh, whatever.
Then Gu Yuqi settled fully into the tub.
Liang Sheng huddled timidly, knees drawn up, not quite able to relax. She sat in the corner, stealing glances at her senior sister.
“Why are you all the way over there? I’m not going to eat you.” Gu Yuqi’s expression was odd—somehow both annoyed and smiling.
“S-Senior Sister Yuqi, how did you even get in here…?” Liang Sheng tried to break the awkward silence.
“Oh, I swapped rooms with that classmate of yours. Not welcome, huh?” Today’s Gu Yuqi spoke with a passive-aggressive edge, laced with a hint of irritation.
Liang Sheng rushed to reassure her. “No way! Of course you’re welcome!”
…
Silence stretched out again.
Finally, Gu Yuqi spoke up. “Today… why have you been avoiding me?”
“Huh?” Liang Sheng blinked in confusion. “I haven’t! I really haven’t been avoiding you, Senior Sister!”
Gu Yuqi sat across from her, everything from the shoulders down submerged in the milky water.
Suddenly, Liang Sheng felt something grip her ankle. She jolted and tried to yank her leg back.
“Is that so? But today’s Little Junior Sister Liang Sheng hasn’t come seeking out her Senior Sister Yuqi once~” Gu Yuqi tightened her hold. Liang Sheng lost her balance and nearly slipped under the milk.
Gu Yuqi pulled Liang Sheng’s legs fully onto her lap, running her hands along them through the water. Liang Sheng’s face turned beet red.
“N-no, Senior Sister, you’ve got it all wrong.” Liang Sheng twisted her head away. “Senior Sister Yuqi… could you let go of my legs? It tickles too much…”
Gu Yuqi snorted. “Really not avoiding me?”
“Really! Truer than true!” Liang Sheng nodded vigorously, like a pestle pounding garlic.
“Fine then…” Gu Yuqi tilted her head, smiling slyly. “Give Senior Sister a hug, and I’ll believe you weren’t dodging me on purpose.”
Huh? That demand…
Liang Sheng glanced down at herself, then up at Gu Yuqi’s…
“Th-that’s a bit…” She met Gu Yuqi’s disappointed gaze—like a big puppy wronged—and swallowed her refusal. “O-okay, fine!”
Gu Yuqi had gotten her way but didn’t let it show.
Liang Sheng straightened up slowly, then leaned tentatively toward her.
Apparently too slowly; Gu Yuqi grew impatient and reached out, pulling Liang Sheng straight into her embrace. “You’re so slow.”
Liang Sheng tumbled into her arms. Warm skin pressed against her own— so cozy, so soft.
Liang Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly, her breathing quickening.
Th-this was no different from outright seduction!
“S-Senior Sister, don’t tempt me.” Liang Sheng gritted her teeth to get the words out.
Gu Yuqi taunted her right back. “And if I do? What’re you gonna do about it, Junior Sister Liang Sheng?”
“Tch!” The goad worked like a charm. Liang Sheng started trash-talking on instinct. “I’d do this and that, then this and that too.” (Use your imagination for what Liang Sheng might actually say.)
“Hahaha!” Gu Yuqi burst out laughing. “Oh, Junior Sister Liang Sheng, you’re still so green~”
In truth, the senior sister’s ears had turned pink from what the green-haired girl had said earlier. After all, she was just a pure-hearted girl at heart~
“Don’t underestimate me, Senior Sister!” Liang Sheng sprawled against Gu Yuqi, puffing up indignantly as she lifted her head. “Keep pushing, and I might actually do this and that to you.” (Yeah, fill in the blanks yourselves—I’m not writing that out either, folks.)
“Hmm~ I don’t buy it.” Gu Yuqi kept teasing, even patting Liang Sheng’s forehead like one might a puppy. “Why don’t you go ahead and try what you just described?”
“Th-that…!” When it came to actually doing it, Liang Sheng turned chicken. “Not great timing—we’re in someone else’s place. Later, okay?”
“Hahaha~” Gu Yuqi laughed again, then planted a playful French kiss on the top of Liang Sheng’s head. “What an idiot~ Knew you wouldn’t dare.”
Liang Sheng insisted, “I dare! I totally dare!”
Suddenly, Gu Yuqi’s hand wandered mischievously to those two delightfully squishy sponges perfect for bath-time fondling. (You know, the kind you scrub with—yeah, those.)
“Mmph!” Liang Sheng yelped in surprise and instinctively pulled back.
But Gu Yuqi wasn’t letting go. As Liang Sheng retreated, she pinched down without thinking.
“Ow!!” A pitiful wail echoed through the bathroom.
The cry startled Gu Yuqi into releasing her grip. “A-are you okay?”
“How could I be?!” Liang Sheng shot her senior sister a resentful look. “That really hurt!”
Gu Yuqi leaned in with feigned concern. “Then let me rub it better to ease the pain, okay?”
