Su Yao looked at her, heart extremely tense, lips pressed together, the finger that had been held straight slowly drooping as if drained of strength—until Mu Nanqiu suddenly grabbed it.
Looking down at Mu Nanqiu holding her finger, she saw it was straightened out again. But instead of letting go, Mu Nanqiu gently held on.
Being held by the finger like this didn’t feel good at all; it triggered a primal sense of danger.
If it weren’t Mu Nanqiu doing this, Su Yao might already have started struggling; if the grip tightened, she’d probably even bite.
Studying Mu Nanqiu’s face, aside from that fleeting moment just now, there was no emotion showing.
Su Yao swallowed, then said in a tiny voice.
“Really?”
When Mu Nanqiu heard those two words, she performed a dramatic deep breath on the spot. Su Yao shrank back in fright, lowered her head further, her gaze darting between the table and Mu Nanqiu.
After inhaling, Mu Nanqiu slowly let the breath out.
Seeing that Mu Nanqiu still only held her finger without doing anything else, Su Yao relaxed a little.
But she’d barely put her mind at ease when anxiety rose again.
Because Mu Nanqiu suddenly leaned closer, bracing her head with one hand, those slender beautiful eyes staring unblinkingly into Su Yao’s. Su Yao didn’t dare meet her gaze at all, and after a while, she shyly said,
“Nanqu, don’t be like this…”
“What do you mean? Hmm? I’m just looking at you, aren’t I?”
Mu Nanqiu smiled. Her teasing tone made Su Yao even more embarrassed, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks, her body heating up, though she still forced herself to act calm. Mu Nanqiu seemed to enjoy watching her like this, and couldn’t help lingering a while longer.
When she thought it was long enough, Mu Nanqiu finally spoke again. In a slightly reproachful tone, she softly said, about ten centimeters from Su Yao’s ear,
“Does Yao Yao think I’m lying?”
“Um, no.”
Su Yao froze for a second, then quickly shook her head to show that wasn’t what she meant.
Her head was lowered, eyes fixed on her own chest. Mu Nanqiu tilted her head, bringing her face to Su Yao’s chest, pretending to look utterly disappointed at being doubted.
“Then, Yao Yao wants me to confirm it again, right?”
This time, Su Yao watched as Mu Nanqiu pecked her lightly on the cheek, and immediately felt a dizzy rush, like she was drunk, floating helplessly, until Mu Nanqiu placed a hand on her shoulder and spoke, finally pulling Su Yao out of that peculiar, dreamy daze.
“I want to live together with Yao Yao. That’s not too much to ask, is it?”
“?”
Is that too much to ask? No, it really isn’t. It’s not like they were a man and a woman—actually, even if they were, as long as both were interested and already a couple, living together wouldn’t be an issue. Nowadays, as long as no one dies from it, nothing’s a big deal.
Could she and Mu Nanqiu possibly cause any fatal problems? Absolutely not. After all, they were both girls, able to snuggle, hold, touch, and use their fingers, mouths, or even play with a few little toys for fun.
So really, it wasn’t an excessive request at all. Yet Su Yao was still incredibly shy, like a girl experiencing her first time.
She really was a first-timer. Letting someone else move into her home was also a first. Because of that, things were moving awkwardly, but Su Yao had no real reason to refuse letting Mu Nanqiu move in.
However—she thought—first, you have to make me happy, make me comfortable, then I’ll have a reason to say yes!
And that was exactly what Mu Nanqiu was doing now.
Su Yao’s legs clamped tightly together, and even her shy words came out a little coquettish.
“No, that’s not it. If you want to come, there are still rooms at my place…”
“Click.”
Hearing there were other rooms, Mu Nanqiu clicked her tongue in displeasure, startling Su Yao into abruptly stopping. Quickly, though, Mu Nanqiu smiled, released her finger, turned Su Yao’s face towards her, and kissed her on the lips.
“Let’s leave it at that for now. After all, a meal should be eaten one bite at a time.”
M
What are you describing?
Su Yao savored the lingering warmth of that soft kiss, still feeling its aftertaste. She could only admit she wanted more, but obviously didn’t have the courage for it. After all, she was perfectly clear-headed now, unable to boldly beg for hugs or kisses like she had before.
Thinking back to her behavior yesterday, she felt mortified. She never imagined that, thinking it was just a dream after getting dazed, she’d act so unrestrained and actually cross that line. Turned out it had all been real, which left her feeling rather embarrassed now.
,
Mu Nanqiu’s hand still forced her face to the front, so Su Yao could only glance away, biting her lower lip. Mustering her courage, she asked,
“B↑ “
“Yao Yao wants to ask about yesterday, when I wiped your body? I can discuss the details with you if you like.”
“Ah, no, Senior, I’m not into that topic.”
“But as your senior, I actually enjoy chatting about these vulgar things in private.”
“No… really?”
“Why not?”
Staring at Mu Nanqiu’s faintly smiling face, Su Yao couldn’t believe this was the same Mu Nanqiu she knew. But the emotion in those eyes didn’t seem fake. Did Nanqiu also like talking about vulgar things in private?
Wait, why “also”?
Su Yao tried to turn her head away, but Mu Nanqiu firmly turned it back. After a while, Mu Nanqiu, looking at Su Yao’s now slightly dazed eyes, gave a mischievous grin and leaned in close to her ear.
Nibbling Su Yao’s soft earlobe, Mu Nanqiu said,
“That’s enough for today. I’m really quite gentle, but at certain times, I’ll remind Yao Yao of her place. Understand?”
“Understood!”
Su Yao knew she was being played with by Mu Nanqiu, but she didn’t dislike it—in fact, she felt a little happy. But then she said something that made Mu Nanqiu freeze on the spot.
“So, Nanqiu, were you serious about moving in?”
M
Mu Nanqiu let go of her, even putting a normal friend’s distance between them, remaining silent for a long while. Just as Su Yao began to regret spoiling the mood again, Mu Nanqiu scolded her.
“You really are a little dummy.”
“D”
With that, Mu Nanqiu gave her a bear hug, pulling her tightly into her arms, and rapidly ruffled Su Yao’s hair until her once neat, straight locks were a total mess.
If anyone nearby walked in—especially someone they knew—Mu Nanqiu would never let go of her little dummy Yao Yao, who obviously had a brain but just didn’t like to use it.
