Drool trickled from the corner of her lips, and she was at a complete loss for words.
Poor Little Zhibai couldn’t even manage an expression, let alone whimper out a couple of helpless sounds. After all, the little mouth she used for speaking was firmly sealed by Yun’er’s overwhelming dominance!
Not to mention anything else.
Ye Zhibai truly admired Yun’er’s lung capacity.
Last time, it had nearly dragged her under, and this time, it was pushing her right to the brink of suffocation!
But then, something miraculous happened.
Ye Zhibai didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
Just as she sensed the air in her lungs was about to run out, Yun’er “coincidentally” slowed her movements and gradually withdrew her cherry lips from in front of Ye Zhibai.
Fresh air rushed back in, and Ye Zhibai regained her freedom.
The withdrawal came so suddenly, like a tornado—utterly unexpected.
Ye Zhibai didn’t even have time to react!
Her cute little tongue, still following its momentum, chewed once more in her mouth like she was savoring some jelly!
Realizing the oppressive presence in front of her had vanished in an instant, Ye Zhibai opened her frost-covered eyes in surprise.
Then she jerked her head down.
And clamped her mouth shut!
Because… she saw Yun’er standing right there in front of her, cheeks flushed red, wearing a wickedly playful smile!
Cough… You didn’t see anything!
I definitely didn’t cooperate with your rude and unreasonable behavior just now!
Oh, wait—this kiss was actually started by Ye Zhibai?
Well, never mind then. They were both pretty rude and unreasonable.
Ye Zhiyun licked the corner of her mouth and lightly touched the glistening trace with her finger. Her eyes sparkled like they held a little heart, brimming with intimate knowledge of Ye Zhibai.
Had last night’s grueling battles all been for nothing?
No! Those were hard-earned experiences, constantly evolving and refined amid the heat of combat!
Last night, Yun’er had already tested Ye Zhibai’s lung capacity repeatedly. Through a whole night of trial and error, she now knew exactly how long a kiss should last to be just right!
And that wasn’t all~ Beyond kissing, Yun’er had also committed other details to memory through her own fingers.
The ten fingers are connected to the heart—there’s that meaning too! (Not really.)
Once Ye Zhibai realized the reason, a wave of shyness washed over her heart, mingled with a surge of dissatisfaction.
It just… felt like Yun’er had her completely figured out. This clashed with the sense of pride deep in her soul!
But being unhappy… what could she do about it?
Ye Zhibai averted her gaze and took two steps back, as if trying to put some distance between her and Yun’er. In reality, she just wanted to lean against the sofa’s backrest to help her limp body find a bit of balance.
“Yun’er, are you over it now?”
“I’m over it, but now I’m all fired up.”
“……”
Fired up? Then drink some Wanglaoji! Or maybe some Jia Shaobao!
If she doesn’t… doesn’t that mean I’m doomed?
You think I calmed you down for no reason!
All that effort wasted, putting the cart before the horse.
Guang Yu patted the dust off her clothes and trotted ahead on her little steps, her big tail dragging behind her as she headed back to the room.
She needed to tidy up and check what supplies were left in the room.
Ye Zhibai had indeed soothed the anger in Ye Zhiyun’s heart, but she’d ignited a different kind of “fire.”
Looks like today, it was time to go moonbathe again.
Ye Zhibai felt like she could still be saved.
No, looking at it…
She was already beyond hope.
Yun’er lifted her left foot and slipped off her short sock with one hand.
Yun’er was usually very particular—she always folded her socks and clothes neatly before putting them in the laundry basket.
But now, she just casually tossed the sock aside!
This unusual behavior clearly showed how urgent and heated Yun’er was feeling right now.
So impatient!
Then, Ye Zhiyun half-turned back toward Ye Zhibai with a meaningful smile.
“Sis, wait a sec. Why don’t you head back to the room and change into your pajamas first? I’m going to take a shower in the bathroom. Whew… it’s so hot today, and I wore that big coat all day—I’m really sweaty. You just changed the bedsheets, so I can’t get in without washing up~”
I changed the bedsheets, and then you’re coming to sleep, huh!
Ye Zhibai tried to resist. “After your shower… just go to bed early. You’re tired.”
“Ha… Sis, you’ve been joking around a lot lately~ Oh, right—Sis, want to take a shower together like old times?”
“You go first, I’ll go after. Nice and orderly, no interference.”
At least doing showers one after the other would drag out the time a bit.
That way, the time spent being “handled” tonight would shorten somewhat.
Then I could see the dawn’s saving light a little sooner!
Every drop of moisture saved counts.
“Fine…”
Yun’er looked a bit disappointed as she walked into the bathroom alone.
Wah, Sis can fully take care of herself now—that’s great.
But when it comes to showers, Yun’er felt deeply regretful.
They used to shower together all the time… Now she didn’t even have an excuse to ask.
Ye Zhibai: You mean dragging my soulless shell into the bathroom by force!
Clang.
The bathroom door shut.
And faster than usual, the sound of shower water hitting the floor tiles rang out.
No doubt, Yun’er would finish her shower much quicker today.
Because she was in a hurry.
Ye Zhibai slumped onto the sofa, utterly listless.
Her back against the sofa’s armrest, sprawled out like a salted fish with no dreams, awaiting Yun’er’s “judgment.”
Actually… it wasn’t really judgment. It was pretty enjoyable, too.
Being intimate with a flawless beauty like Yun’er, who could topple nations… This was something Ye Zhibai never even dreamed of before.
Not to mention, emotionally, Ye Zhibai fully acknowledged Yun’er and was happy to satisfy their mutual love with actions.
The only sticking point was exhaustion!
Such high intensity—who could handle that? She wasn’t made of iron!
The whole night! A whole night!
Guang Yu wasn’t reliable either. She was probably already planning which anime to watch tonight, preparing to head out to the yard and moonbathe.
Ye Zhibai rummaged in her pocket for the Vine Ring she’d stashed away.
Thinking of Lin Zihan’s resilience in facing life, Ye Zhibai hoped she could toughen up too.
At least tonight, don’t pass out.
Even in defeat, a warrior needs dignity on the battlefield!
Just as Ye Zhibai felt all hope was lost and the night would drag on forever.
Suddenly—
Ye Zhibai’s phone chimed once.
——The sound of an incoming text message.
Who could that be?
Don’t tell me it’s the carrier reporting my remaining data again?
That’s how they are—no matter how much data you have left, they always send a reminder, constantly nudging you to top up and not let your account go negative.
But when Ye Zhibai checked…
The message was from the Head Maid.
Ye Zhibai had the Head Maid’s contact saved, after all—the Maid Corps had arranged a car for her today, saving her a lot of walking.
After reading the message, Ye Zhibai’s brows furrowed slightly.
She pocketed her phone.
And tilted her head toward the bathroom.
The earlier resigned readiness to meet her end…
Had instantly transformed into boundless confidence!
——Along with a touch of quiet anger.
“Miss, I’m so sorry to bother you so late, but I have to report something to you. The Second Miss didn’t eat her dinner properly tonight. She said she’s dieting—apparently she only had a compressed biscuit and a carton of milk in the evening. It’s fine for a day or two, but if it goes on long-term, her body won’t hold up. I couldn’t talk her out of it. Could you maybe try persuading her?
“Also! Please put in a good word for me with her. At least keep her from firing me! I wouldn’t report on you young ladies like this on purpose—I’m just truly worried about both Misses’ health!”
Mm.
Head Maid, don’t worry—you won’t be fired.
Not only that…
I’m giving you a big raise!
A massive raise!
