Mu Siyi finished washing the last chicken wing, went to the kitchen to wash her hands.
When she came back Mu Yan had already tidied the coffee table clean.
“Upstairs, sleep.”
“Jiejie why so hurried? Do you want to hug me to sleep?”
“It’s you who want to hug me to sleep. But, I’m a bit afraid to sleep together with you.”
Mu Siyi blinked. “Why? I won’t bite you. At most just hug once.”
“Just now on the sofa you weren’t just hugging me. What if I fall asleep in the middle of the night and you use hands again, wouldn’t that be finished.”
Mu Siyi’s face faintly flushed, yet that bit of wicked smile at the corners of her mouth wasn’t collected.
“Jiejie you’re overthinking. I reflected for a long time in the bathroom just now, already deeply recognized the mistake. Tonight I guarantee I’ll be honest and well-behaved!”
“…Really?”
“Of course!”
Mu Yan looked at her for a moment, lifted the covers and lay down.
The body just touching the mattress, Mu Siyi stuck over like she was fitted with springs.
“You said you would be well-behaved…”
“This is hugging. Hugging doesn’t count.”
“…Twisted logic.”
Quiet for not even ten seconds, Mu Siyi’s hand started getting restless.
The fingers originally resting on the waist slowly climbed up, counting the ribs one by one through the pajama fabric.
Mu Yan grabbed her hand back in one hold.
“What is your finger doing again.”
“Nothing. Just… placing it casually.”
Mu Siyi put the other hand on Mu Yan’s collarbone, index finger lightly pressing the depression above the collarbone, drawing a small circle.
Mu Yan’s body clearly stiffened once.
She raised her hand pinching the most ticklish soft flesh at Mu Siyi’s waist side, lightly twisting.
“Ah, Jiejie what are you doing!”
“What is your hand doing.”
“Pressing the collarbone doesn’t count as crossing the line right? The range you yourself said is below the shoulders…”
“The boundary line doesn’t count. Retreat back.”
“Okay okay.” Mu Siyi retreated her hand back to the shoulder position, honestly resting it.
But her face didn’t retreat back, lips only a few centimeters from Mu Yan’s neck, when speaking the breath sweeping her ice-cold skin.
“Jiejie. I thought a lot in the bathroom just now. Thought why I would do this kind of thing to you.”
“…Thought it through?”
“Thought it through. It started from the first day.”
She rubbed her face into Mu Yan’s neck hollow a bit.
“The first time seeing you at the rental apartment, I wanted to tease you so I said you were my ge’s girlfriend, then got interrupted by your face full of rejection, at that time I couldn’t help wanting to tease you.”
As Mu Siyi spoke her fingers started getting restless again, sliding from Mu Yan’s shoulder to the upper arm, lightly pinching through the pajamas.
Mu Yan didn’t speak, also didn’t stop.
“What made me most hooked was today’s power outage. You wearing the maid outfit rushing out from the shop, when opening the door you standing at the doorway, at that time I just wanted…”
“But I didn’t dare. Until just now on the sofa, you squatting on the ground watering succulents, the collar opening, then I really couldn’t hold back…”
She lifted her face from Mu Yan’s neck hollow, borrowing the night light looking at Mu Yan.
“So it wasn’t sudden.” She lowered her head, lips lightly touching Mu Yan’s collarbone once.
Mu Yan didn’t dodge.
She lowered her head looking at Mu Siyi’s head buried on her collarbone.
“Finished speaking?”
“…Finished speaking.”
“Summarizing, you dare treat me like this because I’m good to you, no matter how willful you are I tolerate you.”
“…Pretty much.”
Mu Yan didn’t answer.
After a good while, she reached out moving Mu Siyi’s leg off her body.
“Okay. Your confession I received. Now sleep.”
“Jiejie, I said that much and this is your reaction?”
“Otherwise what. You want me to write you a reading afterthought?”
Mu Siyi buried her face into the pillow, letting out a muffled wail.
Mu Yan reached out turning off the small night light by the bed.
The entire room sank into darkness, only a line of streetlight coming through the curtain gap.
Quiet for a moment.
Mu Siyi’s voice rang again, much lighter than just now.
“Jiejie. You just now said you’re afraid to sleep together with me, then why did you still lie down.”
“…Because if I don’t lie down you’ll keep calling me. Rather than being noisy the whole night, better to just lie down.”
“Then you’re not afraid I’ll use hands in the middle of the night now?”
“Afraid. So setting a rule for you.”
Mu Yan in the darkness reached out, moving Mu Siyi’s hand from her shoulder to the waist side, then patting her hand back.
“Hugging is okay. Random touching. I’ll bite you.”
“Jiejie, the way you talk is so cute, really not deliberately seducing me?”
“Sleep.”
Mu Siyi puffed a laugh, putting the leg back on, arm wrapping Mu Yan’s waist, finding the most comfortable position.
“Good night Jiejie.”
“…Good night.”
The AC hummed.
The streetlight coming through the curtain gap drew a thin line on the ceiling.
After a good while, she lowly mumbled a sentence.
“Jiejie.”
“…What now.”
“If Jiejie in the future doesn’t plan to find a boyfriend… can…”
“Stop. I can’t possibly find a boyfriend. And you hurry sleep.”
Your ge I originally was a guy.
Mu Siyi buried her face into Mu Yan’s neck hollow, muffled laughing once.
Then she raised her face, lips coming to Mu Yan’s ear, voice pressed very low.
“Jiejie. Next time when I can’t hold back… you just bite me directly.”
“Shameless.”
Just puberty, little brat.
