Yu Qingxue turned on the car stereo. It was playing a Touhou doujin song that Gao Sijin often listened to.
“Bloodstained Boundary, Moon Madness Prison.”
This was a decent song. Normally, when Gao Sijin listened to it while writing, he found it very immersive; the young girl’s laughter at the beginning especially hit his fetish.
After reading the Japanese-to-Chinese translated lyrics, the yandere fetishist Gao Sijin declared it satisfying; this was music for a real man.
But now, in the night, held in the arms of Tsukiyuki Rio who wore a kimono, handcuffed to her, Gao Sijin felt utterly miserable. This song made his mood even heavier, as if his entire body was wrapped in a black hole.
“Gao-kun, you look so cute right now. You know the meaning of ‘cute,’ right? Cute means you can be made love to.”
A laugh with a hint of madness came from Tsukiyuki Rio beside his ear.
The neon lights outside the window streaked by as fleeting afterimages. Gao Sijin wanted to roll down the window and shout for help, but it was useless. Now, not only was his whole body limp and weak, but his tongue was numb and tingling, unable to utter even half a word.
Yu Qingxue stepped on the gas pedal, and Gao Sijin grew farther and farther from home.
“Gao-kun, hehe, just as I imagined, the scent on you is so nice. I feel like I could smell it for a lifetime without getting tired of it.”
Tsukiyuki Rio kicked off her geta with her snow-white feet. Her black kimono gaped slightly open, the collar pulled low to let Gao Sijin see as much as possible of her fair shoulders and the beautiful hollow of her collarbone at her neck.
The young lady who came from a foreign land’s inner chambers had thus stolen everything from Gao Sijin.
“Gao-kun,” her slender, long, snow-white legs slowly straddled his waist. Her jet-black hair cascaded like silk, and her pale teeth gently pressed against his neck. “If I were a vampire princess, I would definitely sink my teeth into your neck and drink your blood, just like the heroine in your novel. I bet you really envy the male lead in there, right? Even though his blood gets sucked, being held in the heroine’s arms, giving her nourishment bit by bit—just thinking about it is romantic, isn’t it?”
I’m not envious at all!
Gao Sijin wanted to open his mouth to shout, but his throat was numb, and he could only make choked sounds.
Tsukiyuki Rio continued doing as she pleased, like a little book fan meeting a long-awaited idol, incessantly recounting her current feelings. Gao Sijin couldn’t move at all; he could only watch helplessly as Tsukiyuki Rio recounted those story plots from his novel.
Their two hands had been tightly handcuffed together from start to finish, inseparable. Even though her body was very soft and her appearance peerlessly beautiful, Gao Sijin couldn’t feel happy.
“From now on, I will make sure Gao-kun is thoroughly stained with my scent. From this day forward, Gao-kun can only forever appear within my sight; you cannot go anywhere else.”
“Home…”
“From now on, Gao-kun’s home is only in my embrace.”
Thinking that he could never return to his hometown or see the family who had raised him through so much hardship, Gao Sijin’s heart sank to the bottom.
In that broken family, a man who could stand tall and shelter from wind and rain was needed.
But he had been deceived.
Yu Qingxue was a liar.
Tsukiyuki Rio was a liar.
Everyone was a liar.
In fact, from the very beginning, Gao Sijin had been self-aware of his plain looks. He never thought he had the ability to make Yu Qingxue like him. As it turned out, her approach indeed had an ulterior motive.
“Young Lady Tsukiyuki, the highway toll gate is up ahead. I suggest we let Sijin sleep for a bit.”
“Hmm, that’s right. It wouldn’t be good if we gave ourselves away, since this isn’t Tokyo.”
Tsukiyuki Rio smiled sweetly, her gaze once again fixing on Gao Sijin:
“So, Gao-kun, we’re going to kiss now. In truth, you’ve been looking forward to kissing me ever since you were caught, right? I understand; I know your heart better than anyone. It’s a pity I couldn’t get Gao-kun’s first kiss, but at least your virginity is still intact.”
Gao Sijin saw Tsukiyuki Rio take out a lipstick from a small handbag at her side.
“Gao-kun, I remember in your novel there’s a kunoichi who coats her lips with a poison that knocks people out. Once kissed by that kunoichi, the prey falls unconscious. Now, I’m going to treat you the same way.”
She gracefully and slowly picked up the lipstick, leisurely applying it to her cherry-blossom-pink lips. While doing so, she hummed a tune.
The melody of that song was also very familiar to Gao Sijin; it was the divine classic he listened to most often: “Itoshigo yo.”
After applying the lipstick, Tsukiyuki Rio’s arms gently wrapped around Gao Sijin’s neck.
“Accept my first kiss, Gao-kun. I’ve kept this kiss for you for far too long; today, I can finally have my wish fulfilled.”
Meeting those dark-red eyes, Gao Sijin felt as if he saw a future where he would be imprisoned for life.
He absolutely must not be kissed by her.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, before Gao Sijin could refuse, Tsukiyuki Rio pressed her cherry-blossom-like lips fiercely against his. Her whole body swayed along, as if demanding everything from Gao Sijin.
For the last shred of a man’s dignity, Gao Sijin chose to clench his teeth shut, guarding his fortress.
But Tsukiyuki Rio’s nimble and scorching tongue entered unimpeded, directly prying open Gao Sijin’s final stubbornness. Faced with such an overbearing, forceful kiss, the utterly powerless Gao Sijin could not even use his tongue to push Tsukiyuki Rio’s intruding tongue out of his mouth.
“Gao-kun… Gao-kun… huff huff huff…”
Their hands intertwined, fingers laced together. The unique sweet fragrance of Tsukiyuki Rio’s mouth instantly invaded all of Gao Sijin’s sanity.
Lips, tongue, teeth, even the gaps between teeth—not a single crevice was left untouched, as if intending to swallow Gao Sijin whole.
This kiss was too pure, too terrifying.
Saliva was forced down Gao Sijin’s throat.
Gao Sijin had no idea how long this kiss lasted; he only felt his breath gradually being stolen away.
He really couldn’t take it anymore.
He was about to die.
Tsukiyuki Rio’s dark-red gaze wandered over Gao Sijin’s vacant expression, exceedingly pleased.
“Ah, what a wonderful kiss, Gao-kun. This was my first kiss, you know. Though I’m a bit inexperienced, my lung capacity is surprisingly large. Why are your cheeks flushed like a girl’s? Could it be that you’re already at your limit? If this is too much for you, you’re going to suffer when we get back to Tokyo.”
The drug was already taking effect.
Three minutes later, Gao Sijin closed his eyes and fell completely unconscious.
“Could you keep the sound of your saliva exchange down? It’s making me itchy all over,” Yu Qingxue said.
“If you’re itching, go find yourself a boyfriend,” Tsukiyuki Rio said, narrowing her mischievous eyes slightly as if savoring the recent madness.
Yu Qingxue’s gaze went to the rearview mirror, observing the unconscious Gao Sijin. She couldn’t help but lightly bite her lip, feeling an indescribable emotion.
She turned the steering wheel and said:
“Not interested. Men are all pigs’ trotters.”
