Chapter 42
Lin Zhao was very nervous. Although she had been able to playfully ask for kisses from Xihuan before, at this moment, completely exposed, she seemed to have rediscovered her long-lost sense of shame and began to be shy.
But although she was shy, when faced with Chu Xihuan’s request, her eyes lit up.
She had originally thought that she would be the only one like this, but now that she had Xihuan with her, Lin Zhao felt a surge of energy. She quickly pounced on her, no longer caring about whether she needed to cover herself.
Chu Xihuan was speechless.
For a moment, she felt as if an excited puppy had pounced on her, and a large one at that, one that could knock a person to the ground.
Fortunately, she was lying on the bed, or Chu Xihuan would have been afraid of throwing out her back.
Lin Zhao was very excited, and her movements were also very fast. She untied the sash at Chu Xihuan’s waist, and the open lapels revealed the silk garment embroidered with pink and white lotus flowers inside. Lin Zhao’s face grew warm.
Seeing this, she remembered the homecoming gifts Xihuan had brought back. Not only had Xihuan used some of the fabric to make new clothes for her, but the softest, smoothest fabric had been used to make matching dudous (a traditional Chinese undergarment) for the two of them.
The one Xihuan was wearing now was made from the same fabric as the one she had been wearing earlier.
She didn’t continue to take it off, but asked with a red face, “Xihuan, can I kiss it?”
Since Xihuan had asked if she wanted to know what else they could do, did that mean that all the things she knew were allowed!
Chu Xihuan’s body strangely started to heat up.
She took a deep breath and said, “If I say no, will you not kiss it?”
Lin Zhao clutched her hem and nodded honestly. “Mm, I won’t. If Xihuan says no, then it’s no.”
Chu Xihuan was surprised. She felt that it was a little unlike her.
“But after Xihuan says no, I’ll still ask for Xihuan’s opinion again,” Lin Zhao added immediately.
Chu Xihuan was speechless.
Sure enough, she had said it was unlike her. Didn’t that just mean that even if she said no, this person would keep asking until she agreed?
Chu Xihuan found her a little amusing, and even her original shame was diluted a little. And thinking about what would happen next, it was impossible not to let her kiss her, and even…
There would be more than just this place to kiss later.
Chu Xihuan bit her lip. “Go ahead and kiss it.”
She had to give this person a gradual process.
Lin Zhao’s eyes completely lit up. Almost without warning, she buried her head in it. It should have been soft, but she felt as if she were sinking into a swamp, the suffocating panic of impending doom accompanied by Xihuan’s faint fragrance, which had become Lin Zhao’s new obsession.
She was afraid that in the future, she would have one more thing to pester Xihuan for kisses for.
Like a little puppy nuzzling someone, Chu Xihuan was speechless.
This person… did she even know what gentleness was!
Chu Xihuan lifted a hand, originally intending to grab Lin Zhao’s hair, but in the end, she hesitated for a moment and just placed it over her eyes. Although she felt that Lin Zhao’s clumsy appearance was ruining the mood, but…
In reality, it was spreading out in ripples. Chu Xihuan bit her lip, a little uncomfortable, but she also felt that she had to get used to it.
Her gaze gradually became watery and blurry. Chu Xihuan bit her lower lip even harder. This person was taking a mile when given an inch again!
The temperature of her mouth…
How could it be so hot.
Chu Xihuan’s breathing was rapid, and she felt a slight pain in her abdomen.
Chu Xihuan lifted her hand. Lin Zhao’s hair had become much smoother after such a long period of care. Chu Xihuan’s fingertips ran through it, and she inexplicably found herself lingering on the feeling.
“Lin Zhao, don’t bite,” Chu Xihuan said, panting slightly.
This person was really good at taking a mile when given an inch. She was touching and kissing, and now she had even evolved to biting.
Although the bite didn’t hurt, at that moment, all her senses seemed to explode. Chu Xihuan felt that she couldn’t bear such a feeling.
“Mmm,” Lin Zhao replied in a muffled voice, not daring to continue biting. After all, she had no experience and was afraid that Xihuan would feel uncomfortable somewhere.
Chu Xihuan calmed her racing heart, bit her lip, and said in a hoarse voice, “You lie down.”
Lin Zhao blinked and said in a muffled voice, “Why?”
She loved the feeling now. She hadn’t had enough of kissing. She didn’t want to let go.
Chu Xihuan’s breathing was inevitably chaotic, but she still insisted, “You lie down. You’ll still get to kiss later.”
At her words, Lin Zhao lay down without any hesitation, blinking at Xihuan’s silhouette. “Xihuan, I’m lying down.”
Her tone was filled with an undisguised joy. Chu Xihuan found it a little amusing and wanted to hit her, but hitting her at such a time would really ruin the atmosphere.
Biting her lip and taking a deep breath, Chu Xihuan came to Lin Zhao’s side and knelt above her.
Chu Xihuan looked down and could vaguely see Lin Zhao’s stunned expression.
Chu Xihuan lowered her gaze and stared into Lin Zhao’s eyes in the darkness.
“Open your mouth,” Chu Xihuan said.
Lin Zhao’s eyes widened. For some reason, her whole body tensed up, and her heart beat faster than ever before, her mind a little blank.
However, she was instinctively excited. Her gaze was fixed on the person in front of her, and she only wished that she hadn’t extinguished the candle before she got into bed.
She did as Chu Xihuan said and obediently opened her mouth.
Soft and wet, it pressed against her lips with a great sense of pressure.
“Lick,” a trembling voice came.
The moment their tongues touched, Lin Zhao belatedly understood what she should do, and her hands also spontaneously came up to support Chu Xihuan’s waist.
Having come this far, Lin Zhao was self-taught, doing her best to please the person on top of her.
Chu Xihuan’s upper body unconsciously leaned back, her lips bitten, but her breathing was inevitably rapid. She could barely support herself.
Lin Zhao’s tongue… was soft and forceful, making Chu Xihuan tremble all over.
So this was what it was really like…
The sensory stimulation was unprecedented, and also an addictive poison.
Was it a poison?
Chu Xihuan didn’t know, but she knew one thing. She was enjoying it at this moment.
She liked Lin Zhao.
All of Chu Xihuan’s defenses collapsed at this moment, and she admitted the thought she had never revealed.
The surging heat was like a scorching wave, forcing the already-melting glacier to dissolve completely into a gently flowing stream. Chu Xihuan’s delicate brows knitted together slightly.
“Lin Zhao… swallow…”
…
The old bed creaked for half the night, and the surroundings were enveloped in a hot, humid atmosphere. Chu Xihuan lay on the bed, exhausted, feeling as if she were about to fall asleep the next second.
She could feel Lin Zhao getting out of bed, but she had no energy to pay any more attention. After an unknown amount of time, just as she was about to fall asleep, a warm, wet cloth fell on her body and began to carefully wash her.
This stimulation made Chu Xihuan’s mind a little clearer. She opened her eyes and looked at Lin Zhao’s solemn expression as she washed her body, then quickly closed her eyes again.
The most shameful things had already been done. There was really no need to refuse these things now, and besides… she had no strength to do it herself.
It wasn’t until later, when Chu Xihuan’s whole body was much cleaner and more comfortable, that she finally fell asleep.
However, after she fell asleep, Lin Zhao also cleaned herself up and immediately climbed into bed, carefully holding Chu Xihuan in her arms, the curve of her lips never once faltering.
She finally understood what had been missing between her and Xihuan. It wasn’t until she had experienced everything about Xihuan that her heart had never been so at ease.
Lin Zhao nuzzled Chu Xihuan’s neck and shoulder with a sense of longing. The sleeping person did not react to her actions at all. Lin Zhao smiled, her lips pressed together, and she also felt a little guilty, afraid that Xihuan would scold her when she woke up tomorrow.
After all… when Xihuan had told her to stop earlier, she hadn’t listened.
But that couldn’t be blamed on her! Who made Xihuan so cute at that time! She wanted to experience it a little more!
Lin Zhao seemed to be justifying it to herself with great conviction, but her body very carefully sat up. She reached up and untied the jade ring that had been hanging around her neck, holding it in her palm and slowly caressing it.
Her fingertips could still feel the delicate, smooth touch of the jade ring, and it still carried her body temperature.
Lin Zhao took a deep breath and carefully and preciously placed the jade ring around Chu Xihuan’s neck.
This was already the best and most precious thing she could give.
After putting it on for Chu Xihuan, Lin Zhao lay back down and held her in her arms, her lips curving up uncontrollably. She didn’t feel tired at all, and in fact, she was quite energetic.
“Xihuan~ I like you~”
Lin Zhao finally gave Chu Xihuan a kiss on the chin and said with great joy.
She believed that Xihuan would not leave her~
*
The next day, the rooster in the neighbor’s house crowed. Lin Zhao opened her eyes in a daze. After a moment, her mind became a little clearer. She sat up and yawned, still a little sleepy.
She didn’t know how long it had been after she lay down last night before she fell asleep. But they had been up so late last night, so she probably hadn’t slept for many shichen (approx. 2 hours).
Lin Zhao turned her head to look at Chu Xihuan. The person who would usually frown in annoyance at the sound of the neighbor’s rooster was now not reacting at all, still sound asleep.
Lin Zhao’s eyes curved into a smile. She didn’t dare to kiss her again, afraid of disturbing her sleep. She got out of bed quietly and got dressed. She was going to prepare breakfast, and after eating, she had to go to work.
By the time she had finished everything, she came to the room again before she left. Seeing that Chu Xihuan was still in the same position and showed no signs of waking up, she closed the door and went to work with a light step.
Now, she could already independently make some small objects. She was also seriously learning how to make more complex things from the master. She still remembered that she wanted to make a rocking chair for Xihuan.
She arrived at the carpenter’s shop. The master couldn’t help but say when he saw her, “Is there any good news today? You’re smiling so happily.”
Usually, Lin Zhao was not the type to have a stern face, but she would not be like this, as if her whole face was lit up with joy, a clear sign of a good mood.
Lin Zhao nodded repeatedly. “Yes~ But it’s not convenient to tell you, master~”
Lin Zhao’s tone was very lilting, and her smiling eyes were curved, indescribably charming.
Seeing her like this, the master snorted and glanced at her. “Alright, alright, then you can just be happy by yourself.”
The master was a person with a sense of propriety. If Lin Zhao was unwilling to say, she would naturally not press her.
Lin Zhao smiled, her lips pressed together. She really did feel a sense of joy in her chest.
As she pressed her lips together, a hint of shyness flashed in Lin Zhao’s eyes.
She remembered the feeling of kissing last night.
