After Being Bent by Reader

Chapter 59: Pt.2

"What did you say? An-what?"

Xu Chuanchuan's expression stiffened upon realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue. Then, she panicked to think of an excuse before saying, "I said...Tang Xin."

"But I clearly heard you saying An...something just now?" Murong Shi said, a playful smile forming on her face. "Is that Tang Xin's nickname?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Chuanchuan awkwardly smiled and nodded.

Murong Shi didn't expose Xu Chuanchuan even though she knew the other party was lying. Instead, she sat up, grabbed the crocodile bolster with one hand, and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the crocodile. Then, she said in an unkind tone, "Since it's a gift for her, this thing can't sleep between us."

"Why?"

Snorting, Murong Shi coldly said, "Because I don't like it."

If you're jealous, just say so.

Xu Chuanchuan could only watch as Murong Shi took the crocodile bolster away and locked it away in the wardrobe as if she were locking away a criminal.

After stuffing the bolster back into the wardrobe, Murong Shi pretentiously dusted her hands before walking back to the bed and saying, "Let's sleep."

"Okay..."

The switch for the lights was on Xu Chuanchuan's side, and she only turned them off after Murong Shi had settled back into the bed. As soon as the room was plunged into darkness, Xu Chuanchuan felt all of her senses being magnified.

Xu Chuanchuan could smell the light scent wafting off from Murong Shi's body. The smell was a familiar one as it was probably the scent of the shower gel she typically used.

Now that one extra person occupied the room, the room's temperature had seemingly become a little higher. Unable to stand the heat, Xu Chuanchuan pulled the blanket covering her aside.

Murong Shi remained silent throughout this process, seeming as if she had fallen asleep already. Then, out of curiosity, Xu Chuanchuan tentatively asked, "Are you asleep?"

"No," Murong Shi lightly responded.

"I-It's cold at night. Y-You'd better cover your belly with the blanket, or you'll catch a c-cold easily," Xu Chuanchuan said, stumbling on her words a few times due to anxiety.

"Where's the blanket?"

Xu Chuanchuan quietly threw the blanket to Murong Shi's side. Then, while listening to Murong Shi rustle for the blanket, she asked, "Did you find it?"

"Mhm," Murong Shi responded, the calmness of her voice making it sound as if she wasn't the person who had aggressively pushed Xu Chuanchuan down just a moment ago. "Is the blanket too short? Or am I too far away from you? I can't cover anything."

"Huh? I'll turn on the lights."

"No need."

Then, Xu Chuanchuan heard the movement behind her growing louder. Murong Shi's voice had also gotten much closer, so close that she was practically speaking right by her ear as she said, "It's okay now."

Although Xu Chuanchuan couldn't see anything, her senses told her that Murong Shi was currently very, very close to her. Immediately, she started growing anxious.

Fortunately, Murong Shi did not take things any further than that. Instead, she asked, "Did I scare you just now?"

At the mention of this matter, Xu Chuanchuan's heartbeat and breathing started accelerating beyond her control. To hide her embarrassment and anxiety, she chose to bite down on her blanket and remain silent.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't help myself at the time."

Before Xu Chuanchuan could think of a proper response, she suddenly felt the person beside her moving closer to her once more, and she subconsciously stifled her breathing.

The next second, the sound of Murong Shi sighing entered Xu Chuanchuan's ear. Then, Murong Shi said, "Xu Chuanchuan, it's not shameful to have desires."

Xu Chuanchuan loosened her lips, though her hands still gripped onto the blanket tightly. Then, she said, "I I don't think it's shameful, either."

"What are you afraid of, then?"

"I I just haven't mentally prepared myself yet. I think that I think that we're progressing too quickly."

Murong Shi remained silent. Only after some time had passed did she ask, "Do you not want to do those things with me?"

If Xu Chuanchuan were to be honest, even though Murong Shi's previous actions had caused her entire being to turn into a mess, she still knew what her heart and body desired. So, she could confidently say that she still hadn't reached the level of having the urge to have further physical communication with Murong Shi. It was also because of this reason that she was frightened by Murong Shi's fervor before.

After pondering for some time, Xu Chuanchuan said with difficulty, "That That's not I just feel that"

"Do you intend to only have a spiritual interaction with me and not have any physical contact with me at all?" Murong Shi impatiently interrupted Xu Chuanchuan. "Fang Qin once told me that there is a category of women whose sexuality is very vague. They prefer to fall in love with people of the same sex, but they are only willing to that kind of relationship with men. So, Xu Chuanchuan, are you one of those women?"

The shift in the conversation topic was too quick, and Xu Chuanchuan nearly failed to follow Murong Shi's pace. She also couldn't help but be stumped by this question.

This was an incredibly tricky question. If she failed to provide an appropriate answer, their relationship could very well come to an end tonight.

Did my intense resistance cause her to misunderstand?

Xu Chuanchuan had only become bent recently, so she still had very little understanding of same-sex relationships. She only knew that she liked Murong Shi, liked kissing Murong Shi, and liked being embraced in Murong Shi's arms while listening to the latter's words of love. As for physical communication... If Xu Chuanchuan were honest, she was somewhat resistant to the idea for now.

However, Xu Chuanchuan wasn't sure if she was opposed to this idea because the time they spent interacting was too short or because of something else...

As Xu Chuanchuan couldn't reach a convincing answer in her mind, she could not provide Murong Shi with a clear answer. However, she truly didn't wish for their relationship to end like this, either.

The long silence caused the air to stagnate. Suddenly, Xu Chuanchuan could no longer sense Murong Shi's breath on her neck. In her panic, she turned around and embraced Murong Shi in the dark.

"..." Murong Shi remained motionless in Xu Chuanchuan's arms.

After much deliberation, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Murong, we still lack understanding of each other. Can we give each other more time? I like you very much. I'm not playing around. I want to be with you."

Xu Chuanchuan fumbled in the dark for a moment. Then, when she felt Murong Shi's face, she leaned closer and carefully kissed Murong Shi's lips.

At first, Murong Shi did not respond to Xu Chuanchuan's kiss, so XuChuanchuan struggled to pry open Murong Shi's lips with her tongue. Then, Xu Chuanchuan applied all of the skills she learned recently to please Murong Shi.

Eventually, Xu Chuanchuan's efforts bore fruit as Murong Shi finally loosened her guard, reciprocating Xu Chuanchuan's hug and kiss. She even took things one step further and deepened their kiss.

By the time they separated, Xu Chuanchuan nearly fainted from oxygen deprivation. However, the two still kept embracing each other, their foreheads stuck together as they listened to each other's heartbeats and breathing.

After a long while, Murong Shi affectionately said, "I promise I won't force you again next time, so let's pretend today's matter never happened, okay?"

Murong Shi's slightly hoarse voice was indescribably sexy, her every word stirring Xu Chuanchuan's fragile nerves. In the end, Xu Chuanchuan simply responded with a weak nod.

Then, placing one hand on Xu Chuanchuan's waist, Murong Shi said, "Go to sleep. Sweet dreams."

"Mhm."

Murong Shi's final words seemingly had a soothing effect as Xu Chuanchuan quickly fell asleep.

Xu Chuanchuan had a good night's sleep. She neither dreamt nor woke up to use the toilet throughout the entire night. When she heard the familiar ringing of her phone's alarm, she frowned slightly.

However, the ringing lasted only a few seconds before it disappeared. Although Xu Chuanchuan wondered if she was suffering from auditory hallucinations, she quickly relaxed and fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Xu Chuanchuan vaguely heard someone talking in a hushed tone. However, with the air conditioner running, her pillow so soft, and her bed so smooth and stretchy, how would she be willing to wake up?

Wait, smooth and stretchy? It's a little warm as well... This doesn't feel like my bedsheet!

In her daze, Xu Chuanchuan gave the strange object in her palm a squeeze.

Then, she suddenly heard a faint moan entering her ears.

Someone else is here!!!

Xu Chuanchuan's eyes snapped open at this realization, only to be given a fright when she saw Murong Shi's face positioned right in front of hers.

Meanwhile, Murong Shi looked at Xu Chuanchuan for a while before she lazily asked, "Awake?"

When Xu Chuanchuan regained her senses, she found that the person lying next to her was supporting her head with one hand and holding a phone in the other hand, as if she had just finished a phone call with someone. Her long hair was laid out like silk, partly covering Xu Chuanchuan's arm and giving her an itchy feeling. Although there were faint dark circles under this person's eyes, they did not hinder her beauty at all. Her thin lips were lightly pressed together, and the warmth in her long and slender eyes was practically overflowing.

At this moment, Xu Chuanchuan found that Murong Shi was as beautiful as a bodhisattva.

Of course, a bodhisattva wouldn't have their buttocks exposed for the world to see.

Before Xu Chuanchuan could spend any time appreciating Murong Shi's bare face after waking up, she was dumbfounded by the sight before her. She had actually lifted the hem of Murong Shi's gown and placed her hand on Murong Shi's hip in her sleep!

Murong Shi wasn't wearing any underwear!

Worse yet, Xu Chuanchuan realized that she had squeezed Murong Shi's buttocks just now!

Xu Chuanchuan retracted her hand as if jolted by electricity. Then, she covered her face and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"

What did I just do?!! I even vowed I didn't want to do those things before sleeping!!!

However, Murong Shi was neither angered nor annoyed. On the contrary, she revealed a pleasant smile, making it seem as if she were the one who had taken advantage of Xu Chuanchuan instead of the other way around. Then, she pulled apart Xu Chuanchuan's hands bit by bit, looked at the other party's blushing face, and teasingly said, "Tell me. Who exactly is the bigger scoundrel between us?"

Xu Chuanchuan wanted nothing more than to suffocate herself to death with her blanket right now. She felt aggrieved about this situation, but she dared not voice her grievances.

With nowhere safe to settle her gaze, Xu Chuanchuan gritted her teeth and pitifully said, "I didn't know things would turn out like this. I thought..."

Xu Chuanchuan had previously been confused as to why her bed had suddenly become so smooth and stretchy. It turned out that what she touched wasn't her bedsheet but Murong Shi's buttocks instead...

Xu Chuanchuan couldn't bear to explain her actions, so she tried to flee from the bed.

However, Murong Shi effortlessly caught Xu Chuanchuan and pulled her back. Then, narrowing her bewitching eyes, Murong Shi scrutinized Xu Chuanchuan from top to bottom before saying, "Are you planning to dine and dash?"

"T-Then, what do you want?" Xu Chuanchuan asked on the brink of tears.
