Forbidden to Flirt and Run 22

Chapter 22

The sunlight streamed in through the window.

Gu Yizhi was half-leaning against the headboard, her bare shoulder bathed in the sunlight. She was smiling faintly, and Xu Qingtang was a little dazed.

This person had said “try” to her many times.

But this time, Xu Qingtang clearly felt the seriousness in her tone and words.

Xu Qingtang frowned. “Aren’t you a straight woman?”

Gu Yizhi: “Are you?”

Xu Qingtang: “…Of course I am.”

Gu Yizhi: “I’m the same as you.”

So that’s it. Xu Qingtang pursed her lips, picked up her shark clip from the floor, and tied up her long hair. “We’re all straight women, what’s there to try or not try? Don’t tell me you got addicted last night and want to be my long-term fuck buddy.”

“What if I say yes?”

Gu Yizhi looked a little unhappy. Xu Qingtang thought it was because she had been so blunt. She stood up, looked at herself in the mirror, pursed her lips, and said, “Is this kind of thing that unforgettable? I feel it’s quite average.”

She adjusted her hair with her fingers, putting on a very nonchalant attitude. “You probably just find it a bit novel. After you’ve done it a few more times, it’ll just be like that.”

Gu Yizhi: “Is that so?”

Xu Qingtang: “That’s right.”

Gu Yizhi didn’t reply to that. She got up and pulled off the bedsheet. Xu Qingtang glanced at it. Gu Yizhi had already folded it and said, “I’ll change it for a new one. It’s ruined. You tore it last night.”

Xu Qingtang: ???

Her face was burning. “Don’t be so dramatic. It’s, it’s just a little bit.”

“Yes, I’m being dramatic. How could you tear the bedsheet from such an average feeling, right?”

Xu Qingtang’s face turned red all the way to her neck. She cleared her throat and said, “At worst, I’ll just compensate you with a new one. Besides, it’s not all my fault…”

If it weren’t for her insisting on doing it once, twice, three times last night…

As Gu Yizhi was changing the bedsheet, Xu Qingtang stared at her back, pacing back and forth. Gu Yizhi smoothed out the last corner and said, amused, “Aren’t you tired? My eyes are so dizzy.”

“That’s because you’re too weak.”

And she still wants to find a long-term partner? Isn’t she afraid of really wearing herself out…

Xu Qingtang inexplicably recalled a bit of last night’s scene. Her face turned slightly red, and she couldn’t help but think guiltily, Actually, Gu Yizhi isn’t that weak…

Gu Yizhi stared at her. “You say I’m weak, why are you blushing?”

“I’m angry at you. Haven’t you heard the revised ‘Admonition to Youth’?” Xu Qingtang was so ashamed by the lewd thoughts in her mind that she started to talk nonsense. “Strong, not weak. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself!”

She was righteous and indignant, and also afraid that Gu Yizhi’s next sentence would be “Weak or not, why don’t you try?”, so she quickly added, “I can’t be bothered to argue with you about this. By the way, can you do me a favor?”

Gu Yizhi walked to the window. The linen curtains were pulled open, and the light flooded in. She turned back. “Go on.”

“It’s just…”

Xu Qingtang was a little hesitant to speak. She dragged out her words, “Last night’s matter, can you pretend it never happened? It’s best… it’s best not to tell anyone we slept together. Of course, I know you’re not that kind of person. I’m just reminding you.”

Gu Yizhi walked over with her long legs. “Is sleeping with me that shameful?”

Xu Qingtang stammered, “Uh… anyway, just don’t say it.”

“I can.”

This sentence clearly had a follow-up. Xu Qingtang looked up and stared at Gu Yizhi warily. “What do you want?”

It wasn’t that she was wary of Gu Yizhi, it was just that she was too…

Xu Qingtang thought of last night. She had wanted to be on top, but Gu Yizhi had held her hands down and insisted on making her say those blush-inducing dirty words. It was she who was getting the pleasure, yet she still had to tease her like that. Wasn’t she afraid she would just give up and quit?

It seemed that the evil capitalist merchant nature was carved into her DNA. Even in bed, she refused to suffer even the slightest loss.

Gu Yizhi’s tone was business-like. “I promise you, you have to promise me one thing too. That’s fair, isn’t it?”

Xu Qingtang took a step back, her legs feeling weak. “What is it?”

Gu Yizhi lowered her head and said sincerely, “I want to kiss you.”

Anyway, they had already slept together. Another kiss wouldn’t hurt.

As their lips touched, Xu Qingtang belatedly reacted and pushed her. “Wait, wait a minute. The window, the window. Someone will see.”

“It’s fine.”

Gu Yizhi kissed her, her other hand opening the bedroom door. The two of them pressed against the wall from the bedroom to the living room.

Kissing was a comfortable and beautiful thing.

In the end, Xu Qingtang was kissed until her head was spinning. She leaned against the sofa and took a deep breath to calm herself. The sounds from the kitchen were just enough to cover for her.

Gu Yizhi brought a bowl of porridge and placed it on the dining table. Xu Qingtang’s face was flushed, and she restrained her voice. “Did you cook this last night?”

“I made it this morning.”

This morning?

Xu Qingtang stood up and went over. “Weren’t you just waking up?”

“I woke up early with nothing to do, so I thought I’d sleep with you for a while longer.”

Wait…

Xu Qingtang thought of the scene when she had just woken up. She was both surprised and annoyed. “Why did you take off all your clothes when you were already awake?”

She had made her lose face first thing in the morning.

Gu Yizhi sat down calmly, gestured for her to sit as well, and slowly ate her porridge. “I wanted you to experience more directly the difference between hugging me and hugging a dog.”

Heh. At this moment, Xu Qingtang felt that this person was no different from a dog. No, Gu Yizhi was even more of a dog!

Bitchy woman!

Xu Qingtang lowered her head and drank her porridge. When she occasionally looked up, she found that Gu Yizhi’s gaze was right on her. She said in a bad mood, “What?”

Gu Yizhi propped her chin on her hand and asked softly, “Didn’t you seem to enjoy being kissed just now? Are you sure you don’t want to give it a try?”

Xu Qingtang put down her spoon, her charming face with its long eyebrows raised slightly. “Who enjoyed it?”

Gu Yizhi pressed her fingers to the side of her neck.

That was where Xu Qingtang’s hands had been wrapped around just now.

She hadn’t said anything, but it was as if she had said everything. Xu Qingtang took a deep breath, feeling that she couldn’t eat this porridge anymore. She stood up and walked straight to the door.

“Where are you going?” Gu Yizhi’s voice came from behind her.

“Home.”

If she stayed any longer, one of them would have to die today.

“Your clothes…”

“What’s wrong with my clothes?”

“Nothing. I have no opinion on what you wear, but I suggest you change into a new set here.”

Xu Qingtang had already reached the entrance. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but turn back and laugh. “And then you’ll want me to return the clothes to you at night, right? Gu Yizhi, this trick is enough once. I’m immune to it now. Do you really think I’m that stupid?”

Gu Yizhi rinsed her mouth with water. Hearing this, she chuckled softly. “You don’t mind if it’s wet?”

Xu Qingtang scoffed. “I love wearing wet clothes.”

Wait… wet???

She quickly looked down and saw that there was indeed a small wet patch on her cream-colored qipao. That familiar feeling of embarrassment that made her scalp tingle wrapped around her again.

Xu Qingtang looked up. Gu Yizhi was looking at her with a smile, as if to say, “It’s okay if you don’t admit it. There will always be something that will.”

She took a deep breath, feeling a rush of blood to her head that she couldn’t suppress. “Can’t I have wet the bed? What, have you never seen someone wet the bed before!”

“What’s wrong with a childish adult wetting the bed again? Wet? Heh, you think too highly of yourself. How could I get wet from being kissed by you!”

As she spoke, she angrily picked up her bag and left without looking back.

After walking out of Gu Yizhi’s place and seeing the gradually increasing number of pedestrians outside, Xu Qingtang suddenly felt a little regretful.

If I had known, I would have changed my clothes.

Xu Qingtang used her bag to cover herself. Fortunately, it wasn’t much and wasn’t very noticeable. After returning home, she quickly took a shower and changed her clothes.

The cold shower completely calmed Xu Qingtang down.

Today was still a holiday. Tang Gui happily said on WeChat that she had gotten a new G-Wagon and wanted to take her for a ride to enjoy it. Xu Qingtang dressed up and saw Tang Gui downstairs, wearing sunglasses and leaning against the car door in a sassy manner.

Xu Qingtang’s gaze swept back and forth. “The G-Wagon… its next-door neighbor’s second uncle’s nephew’s distant cousin?”

Tang Gui took off her sunglasses and spread her hands helplessly. “Ahem, don’t you know my financial situation? My family even sponsored a little for this. Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’ll work hard to buy a G-Wagon and take you for a ride.”

Xu Qingtang got in the car. “What’s the plan for tonight?”

“Um… that bar from last time.”

Tang Gui turned the steering wheel, slowly pulling out of the parking space, and said, “She… has been there a lot recently. I don’t know what she’s up to. It doesn’t matter, I don’t care either. I just don’t want her to think I was deliberately waiting for her that night. It makes me seem so cheap, right?”

At the end, Tang Gui curled her lips without any emotion.

Hearing this, Xu Qingtang asked one more question. “Don’t you feel strange going there?”

“What?”

“Seeing Jiang Wan.”

“A little at first, but haven’t I been enlightened by you? Anyway, neither of us has to be responsible. We can just consider it a one-time thing where we both had fun. I don’t want to be in a relationship, and she has so many little sisters.”

Hearing this, Xu Qingtang turned her gaze to the window.

Yes, just consider it a one-time thing where we both had fun.

What’s there to get over between adults?

But the more she tried to think freely, the tighter and more chaotic her heart became. It was completely out of her control.

The bar had just opened. The two of them found a special corner to sit in. Xu Qingtang glanced around. Tang Gui swirled her glass. “She’s not here tonight.”

Xu Qingtang asked, “Then should we go?”

“Forget it. I didn’t come for her anyway,” Tang Gui sighed and raised her glass. “Tonight is to celebrate my new G-Wagon. Let’s not talk about those irrelevant people.”

This bar was located in the bustling city center. Just as the sky was getting dark, more and more customers came in. The resident singer went on stage and sang a soft, lyrical folk love song.

“Tsk, a rare guest,” Jiang Wan said from behind the bar, handing a glass of wine to Gu Yizhi and admiring her newly done nails. “What wind blew you here?”

Gu Yizhi silently drank half a glass of wine.

Jiang Wan flirtatiously flicked her bangs. “What’s wrong? Because of that girl named Qingtang?”

Gu Yizhi finally spoke. “Xu Qingtang.”

Jiang Wan sat on the chair as if she had no bones, her legs swinging. “I could tell something was off with you last time. What’s wrong, did she dump you?”

Gu Yizhi continued to drink. “No.”

They were never together in the first place.

“Then what is it?” Jiang Wan’s mind wandered, and she guessed a possibility. “You’re not thinking of how to get away, are you? Actually, she seemed quite cute that night, and pretty too. I asked Tangtang, she’s a nice person. What are you worried about?”

Gu Yizhi didn’t speak.

Jiang Wan suddenly thought of something else and leaned against the bar. “You’re not thinking of getting rid of her, are you? No, Gu Yizhi, don’t… she’s such a nice little girl. You’re an old cow, how can you be so picky…”

Gu Yizhi’s gaze swept over her. “Jiang Wan, what do you mean?”

“No, no…” Jiang Wan raised her hands. “I mean, she’s younger than you, so it’s normal for you to give in a little. I quite like her and want to be friends with her. If you break up with her, then I won’t be able to…”

Gu Yizhi curled her lips and mercilessly exposed her. “You want to be friends with her?”

Jiang Wan was helpless. “Alright, alright, and cultivate a relationship with Tangtang along the way, along the way.”

“What’s wrong with your hair?”

After the resident singer had finished two songs, Tang Gui finally noticed something strange about Xu Qingtang’s hair. She leaned closer and frowned. “It looks like it’s been burned?”

Xu Qingtang remembered her foolish actions from last night and was speechless. She said casually, “I accidentally lit my hair while offering incense.”

Tang Gui didn’t ask any more questions. Xu Qingtang, on the other hand, asked a little embarrassedly, “Xiao Gui, that candle from that circle… how do you use it?”

Tang Gui hadn’t reacted yet. “What candle?”

Xu Qingtang reminded her, “The picture you sent me that day, the ‘Master’ you’re a fan of.”

Tang Gui had a sudden realization. “Why the sudden question?”

Last night’s experience was very shameful for Xu Qingtang.

She had lost her hair and been laughed at by Gu Yizhi. She felt she had to understand how this thing worked, otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.

“Just asking. Aren’t we bored?”

Tang Gui nodded. “It’s very simple. Just light it and drip it on your body.”

Xu Qingtang’s breath hitched. “Does it hurt?”

“It’s a low-temperature candle. It doesn’t hurt.”

Tang Gui’s expression suddenly became a little strange. She stared at Xu Qingtang for a long time. “Qingtang, you’re acting very strange today. Wait… you’re not planning to try this kind of thing, are you?”

Xu Qingtang didn’t know how she had come to that conclusion and stubbornly denied it. “How could I? I’m not…”

As she spoke, she guiltily flicked her hair.

With this flick, the hickey on the back of her neck was directly exposed to Tang Gui’s eyes. She helped Xu Qingtang cover her hair and lowered her voice. “Uh, Qingtang, what’s this? It couldn’t be from Gu Yizhi, could it?”

Xu Qingtang could only admit, “Yes…”

“I knew she had feelings for you!” Tang Gui turned her head. “Are you two together?”

“It’s not what you think. She’s straight. We were just drunk and couldn’t control ourselves…”

This explanation was very weak and couldn’t hold up at all.

Tang Gui found it ridiculous. “Is there such a straight woman? Could there be a misunderstanding…”

“No misunderstanding, and…” Xu Qingtang held the glass, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. “She just wants to be my fuck buddy.”

Tang Gui almost sprayed out a mouthful of wine.

As she coughed, her eyes suddenly widened. She patted Xu Qingtang’s hand and pointed to the bar. “Qingtang, look.”

At the bar, there was a woman in a light-colored knit sweater, her signature wavy curls hanging down, her long legs on the ground, her slender fingers casually resting on the bar. In front of her was the brightly smiling Jiang Wan. The two of them seemed to be chatting about something, looking very close.

The two of them immediately recognized her as Gu Yizhi.

Jiang Wan had many little sisters. Could it be that Gu Yizhi was one of them?

This thought occurred to both of them at the same time. Xu Qingtang sullenly took a sip of wine. Suddenly, Tang Gui pulled her wrist. “Hey, hey, Gu Yizhi is looking over.”

Xu Qingtang looked up for a moment, then quickly lowered her head and said, “Let’s go. It’s so stuffy here.”

Tang Gui thought for a moment. “Qingtang, are you unhappy?”

Xu Qingtang was indeed a little angry.

But she thought her emotions were very normal.

Gu Yizhi had just slept with her last night, and now she was at a gay bar, laughing and talking with someone else. Anyone would be angry, right?

But she just said, “Of course not. I just don’t want to see her. It’s a little awkward.”

Tang Gui thought it made sense and got up with her. “Let’s go.”

Just as they reached the entrance, Tang Gui suddenly fumbled around, let out a cry, and frowned. “I left my car keys inside. Qingtang, wait for me here.”

“Go on.”

Xu Qingtang walked a few more meters outside. The night air was a little cool. She hugged her arms and rubbed them. As she felt a warmth, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around teasingly. “Your G-Wagon baby can’t wait…”

Seeing the person, her voice immediately stopped.

Gu Yizhi slowly approached. Xu Qingtang took a step back. Noticing this, Gu Yizhi stopped and said gently, “What a coincidence. Want to go in for a drink?”

“No, I won’t disturb you,” Xu Qingtang’s expression was unchanged. “It’s not appropriate for me to be a third wheel, shining so brightly.”

Gu Yizhi asked, “You think I’m hitting on someone else?”

“I didn’t say that.”

Xu Qingtang put on a nonchalant attitude. “She’s very pretty. I wish you a pleasant evening.”

Gu Yizhi looked at her and smiled.

Xu Qingtang frowned. “What are you laughing at?”

“So sour…”

Gu Yizhi leaned closer and asked her, “Why do you smell like vinegar?”

“Vinegar, my ass,” Xu Qingtang was immediately annoyed and said coldly, “I think you smell like a slut!”

Gu Yizhi was amused by her and said, “She’s my friend.”

Xu Qingtang was skeptical but didn’t want to dwell on it. “Then you should go back quickly. My friend will be here soon. We’re going home together.”

“Your friend? She’s busy. She probably won’t be out so soon.”

Xu Qingtang looked at Gu Yizhi suspiciously.

The next second, she received a message from Tang Gui, saying that Jiang Wan had something to talk to her about and that she should take a taxi home first.

“You didn’t do this on purpose, did you?”

Gu Yizhi was taken aback. “What?”

“Had your friend send her away.” The more Xu Qingtang thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.

Gu Yizhi laughed. “Yes, I admit I did.”

So that’s how it is. Xu Qingtang took another step back and said warily, “You’ve already embarrassed me enough outside today. What else do you want?”

“I have a gift for you.”

“A gift?”

“Yes, to apologize for my behavior today.”

Xu Qingtang’s trust in Gu Yizhi was almost exhausted. She always felt that she was digging a pit for her. “Really?”

Gu Yizhi started walking. “It’s in my car. Want to go and see?”

Seeing her eyes full of suspicion, Gu Yizhi continued, “I’ve been drinking and can’t drive. Don’t worry.”

I’ll trust her this one time.

Xu Qingtang followed her all the way to the car. Gu Yizhi did indeed take out a box, placed it in front of Xu Qingtang, and smiled gently. “Open it and see.”

The moment Xu Qingtang opened the box, the muscles in her face twitched stiffly.

Inside was a piece of black, thong-like underwear.

Why “like”? Because the middle part looked a bit like a diaper, and the lace trim was fluorescent, sparkling in the night.

“Are you satisfied?”

“What I like most are people with a childish heart like Miss Xu.”

“Do you want me to help you change? Don’t worry, it’s very absorbent and definitely won’t leak.”
