Chapter 67: Pt.1
"Don't stop me! Let me die!" Xu Chuanchuan yelled while leaning against the railing.
Murong Shi found the situation both funny and aggravating. After forcefully pulling Xu Chuanchuan away from the railings, she softly said, "Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. I was wrong."
Xu Chuanchuan struggled to break free from Murong Shi's embrace several more times before she eventually gave up and weakly leaned into Murong Shi's arms. Then, she stopped speaking out of exhaustion.
There was little shade where they stood, so Murong Shi helped Xu Chuanchuan to a shaded area. Then, she settled Xu Chuanchuan into a chair and said, "Be good and don't move."
Even if I want to move, I'd need the energy to do so first! Xu Chuanchuan mentally retorted.
Xu Chuanchuan had been tortured past midnight last night, and she didn't even know whether she lost consciousness because she was exhausted or sleepy. Murong Shi had also woken her after she had gotten only several hours of sleep. Now, her back felt sore, and her legs felt limp. She also constantly experienced a strange sensationdown there, and it prevented her from sitting properly.
To make matters worse, so long as she quieted down, her brain would automatically start playing the chaotic scene from last night. Those fiery lips, scorching hands, and hoarse breaths and moans Whenever she recalled these things, she couldn't help but wish she could lose consciousness immediately.
When Murong Shi returned from the cabin and saw Xu Chuanchuan covering her face with her hands, her expression changed slightly, and she quickly made her way over to Xu Chuanchuan.
"What's wrong?"
Moving her hands away, Xu Chuanchuan revealed an aggrieved expression as she said, "I'm tired"
Sighing in relief, Murong Shi said, "You scared me. I thought you started crying again."
Xu Chuanchuan grew dissatisfied when she heard the word "again." Immediately, she gave Murong Shi a pinch and voiced her protest through her eyes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Shi grabbed Xu Chuanchuan's hand and kissed it. Then, she said, "I thought you only cried last night because you were happy."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan felt as if she was licked by fire when Murong Shi kissed her hand. After quickly retracting her hand, she quickly looked at her surroundings and made sure that nobody saw what just happened. Then, she turned her head aside and said, "I don't want to talk to you."
Revealing a gentle smile, Murong Shi straightened her body and said, "I don't mind if you don't talk to me, but you need to put on your life jacket first."
"I'm not wearing it," Xu Chuanchuan said, adamant in opposing Murong Shi's every word.
In response, Murong Shi pinched Xu Chuanchuan's nose and said, "Everyone needs to wear one. You don't know how to swim, either. What would happen if you accidentally fell off the boat?"
Finding Murong Shi's reasoning to be sound, Xu Chuanchuan tried to raise her arms but retracted them partway through doing so. Then, she listlessly said, "I'm out of strength."
Murong Shi couldn't help but laugh. "Are you acting spoiled with me?"
"Hmph."
Holding back her smile, Murong Shi opened up the life jacket and said in a helpless tone, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll help you wear it."
Despite coming out to the ocean, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't bring herself to be excited. Right now, the only thing she wanted to do was return and catch up on her sleep.
The closer it got to the afternoon, the more toxic the sun became. Eventually, the women on board the yacht could no longer tolerate the heat, so the boat turned around and made its way back to shore.
They had only sailed around for an hour, so Xu Xiangxiang still didn't have enough fun. Even so, she had gained a significant harvest from this short sail as she had taken a lot of interesting pictures. Then, while raising her phone in excitement, she said, "Sis, Big Sis Shishi, did you two see the whale? I took a lot of photos. Wanna look at them?"
Xu Chuanchuan's mood soured at the mention of the word "whale." Putting on a gloomy face, she silently accelerated her footsteps.
Confused, Xu Xiangxiang asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"Maybe she's seasick. I'll bring her back to the room to rest first," Murong Shi explained.
Looking at her elder sister's departing figure, Xu Xiangxiang said, "My sister's legs seem to be trembling. Did she fall very hard? Do we need to bring her to the hospital?"
Murong Shi: "..."
Meanwhile, Fang Qin sent Murong Shi a glance and quietly asked, "Did you go too hard on her?"
After awkwardly clearing her throat, Murong Shi said, "It shouldn't be too serious You three have fun."
However, despite her words, Murong Shi was still a little worried. So, after returning to the room, the first thing she did was to ask Xu Chuanchuan, "Does it still hurt?"
Giving Murong Shi a resentful glare, Xu Chuanchuan replied, "What do you think?"
After taking a long look at Xu Chuanchuan's legs that had become as soft as noodles, Murong Shi said, "Take your pants off and let me see."
Gasping, Xu Chuanchuan asked, "What did you say?!"
"I want to see if it's swollen. If it's too serious, we might need to get some medicine."
Although Murong Shi spoke with a serious expression, Xu Chuanchuan still found herself blushing like a tomato. Then, while holding tightly onto her pants, she said, "No! Need!"
At 5.30 PM, after eating one last seafood buffet, Murong Shi's group said their goodbyes to Jiang Shaohua and left the seaside villa.
The group's mode of transportation consisted of Murong Shi's and Fang Qin's cars. To avoid letting Fang Qin feel too bored, Little Yan and Xu Xiangxiang rode together with her. As for Xu Chuanchuan, she naturally rode with Murong Shi.
Xu Xiangxiang felt very reluctant to leave the villa. Before she left, she made sure to take a group photo with her new acquaintances. Then, after uploading the photos to her social media, she asked Xu Chuanchuan, "Sis, why didn't you give me a like on the whale post?"
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
It was already dark by the time the group returned to S City. Because of the difference in travel routes, Little Yan had switched from Fang Qin's car to Murong Shi's car partway through the journey back.
Before they went their separate ways, Xu Chuanchuan rolled down the passenger window and raised her voice, saying, "Fang Qin, sorry for the trouble!"
In response, Fang Qin waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. I'll make sure to send Xiangxiang back safely!"
"Thanks! Make sure to be careful when driving! Goodbye!"
Then, Xu Xiangxiang poked her head out of Fang Qin's car and said, "Bye-bye! Let's meet again next time!"
Little Yan sat at the back of Murong Shi's car all by herself. After putting her legs up on the seat, she laid down lazily and said, "It's so fun to be around Xiangxiang."
Smiling, Xu Chuanchuan said, "You two have such differing personalities. I didn't expect you two to become friends in such a short time."
"This proves that our fates are aligned," Little Yan said with a bright smile. Then, she leaned forward and said to Xu Chuanchuan, "Fate really is a magical thing. It's just like you and my cousin, right?"
Xu Chuanchuan couldn't bring herself to follow up with Little Yan's words.
After staring at Xu Chuanchuan for a while, Little Yan suddenly said, "Chuanchuan, you seemed to be in a bad mood today. Did my cousin bully you?"
Xu Chuanchuan snuck a glance at the person focused on driving when she heard Little Yan's question. Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, she said, "It's not the first time she has bullied me."
In response, Little Yan revealed a naughty smile and said, "Her method of bullying this time should be different from before, right? Did you two really doouch!"
Murong Shi freed one of her hands from the steering wheel and gave Little Yan a heavy tap on the head with her knuckles. Then, she indifferently said, "Sit properly."
After receiving a warning, Little Yan reluctantly sat back down and dared not continue asking about last night.
Meanwhile, when Murong Shi turned her head aside, she immediately saw Xu Chuanchuan's face as red as a tomato. And although she wanted to laugh at this scene, she dared not do so. Instead, she secretly held onto Xu Chuanchuan's hand and softly said, "It's quite late, so sleep at my house for tonight."
This was the second time Xu Chuanchuan had visited Murong Shi's house, so she wasn't as cautious as before. However, Murong Mingshu still welcomed her with enthusiasm, and Aunt Liam even prepared supper for them.
After finishing supper, Murong Shi brought their luggage up to the second floor.
"Wait up," Xu Chuanchuan said, enduring her discomfort as she ran up the stairs. However, because of her wobbling legs, she stumbled and very nearly fell.
"Slow down." Murong Shi supported Xu Chuanchuan with her free hand.
"Where are you taking my luggage to?" Xu Chuanchuan asked, pointing her chin at her luggage.
"To my room. Is there a problem?"
Xu Chuanchuan quickly took a look at her surroundings. Then, after seeing that nobody else was nearby, she muttered, "I'm not sleeping with you."
Surprised, Murong Shi said, "Where are you going to sleep if not with me? Aunt Lian only prepared one guest room."
"I'll sleep with Little Yan."
"Little Yan?" Murong Shi frowned slightly.
Coincidentally, Little Yan walked over with her luggage at this time and overheard their conversation. Then, she said, "Cousin, you can be at ease and leave Chuanchuan with me. I swear I won't bully her."
Murong Shi: "..."
Xu Chuanchuan snatched back her luggage during Murong Shi's moment of inattentiveness. Then, she turned around and smiled at Little Yan, saying, "Let's go."
"Okay!"
In the end, Murong Shi could only watch as Xu Chuanchuan and Little Yan disappeared into the guest room.
After closing the door, Little Yan eagerly asked, "Chuanchuan, are you really going to sleep with me?"
"That's right. Do you not want to sleep with me?" Xu Chuanchuan asked as she pushed her luggage aside.
"That's not the case." Unsure if Murong Shi was listening in on them, Little Yan quietly said, "Didn't you two just do...that last night? Why are you sleeping separately all of a sudden? You don't need to worry about getting found out. So long as you two don't say anything, Auntie and Aunt Lian won't suspect a thing."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan honestly had no idea how she should explain the matter to Little Yan. She found it simply too embarrassing to even talk about the matter. So, she casually lied, "We had an argument."
"An argument?!" Little Yan forgot to control her voice due to her surprise. "Why?"
Shrugging, Xu Chuanchuan said, "No reason. We just argued because we wanted to."
"Uh" Little Yan was perplexed.
Afraid that the younger girl would continue questioning her, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "I'm a little tired. Can I use the bath first?"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Because of her body's discomfort, Xu Chuanchuan spent more time in the shower than usual. However, when she walked out of the bathroom while supporting herself using the wall, she found a familiar figure sitting on the bed.
Immediately, Xu Chuanchuan straightened her body and asked, "Where's Little Yan?"
Murong Shi followed the sound with her eyes and said, "She went downstairs to eat some fruits. I brought some up for you, so come over and try some."
They had fried dumplings for supper. Even until now, Xu Chuanchuan still felt a little bloated, so this plate of fruits arrived at the right time. Having no reason to refuse the offer, she sat down beside Murong Shi and quietly ate the fruits.
In the meantime, Murong Shi moved Xu Chuanchuan's bangs aside and asked, "Are you still mad at me?"
Xu Chuanchuan's eyelashes stirred. Then, she said in a muffled voice, "No."
"You're lying again," Murong Shi said as she caressed Xu Chuanchuan's face with her icy hand. "I know what you're afraid of. Even if you sleep on the same bed with me, I won't be touching you today."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan silently chewed on some watermelon.
Letting out a sigh, Murong Shi continued, "If you're mad, I'll apologize to you. If you don't like it, I won't touch you next time."
Xu Chuanchuan accidentally broke the slice of watermelon she held, causing watermelon juices to stain her hand. However, she paid no heed to it. Instead, she hastily looked up and met Murong Shi's eyes. Then, her heart thumped when she saw the sadness in those eyes.
Xu Chuanchuan knew that she didn't have the right to be mad. After all, she was the one who approached Murong Shi. Moreover, Murong Shi had already been very gentle with her. It was her fault for being much more susceptible to pain than others. After Murong Shi's finger entered only a little, her eyes had already watered due to the pain.
Xu Chuanchuan would grow nervous as soon as she felt pain. And as soon as she grew anxious, she would become afraid. She had gotten so scared last night that even when she was close to reaching climax, she couldn't relax and properly enjoy it.
After carefully thinking about the tantrum she threw today, Xu Chuanchuan felt that she was too pretentious. So, she lowered her gaze and said, "I'm not angry with you."
Murong Shi wiped the watermelon juices that got onto Xu Chuanchuan's hand with a napkin. Then, she said, "Good, then. Does it still hurt?"
"Cough" Xu Chuanchuan nearly choked on her saliva. "Can you stop asking that?"
"I'm worried about you. You're also refusing to let me see it."
"...Can you stop being so perverted?"
"I'm only perverted towards you."
