“Should we try it?”
Jiang Xiao froze.
Perhaps happiness had arrived too suddenly, as it took a long while for his brain to process those words.
“Xi’er, you don’t have to force yourself! You can agree to be my girlfriend first, and then we can date for a while. Eventually, we can pick an auspicious day…”
Song Qiuyu said nothing. She simply glanced down at Little Jiang Xiao, who had already betrayed his master.
‘Haki Xiao, it seems your brother doesn’t think that way at all; he’s already about to lose his composure.’
Jiang Xiao noticed her gaze and felt a wave of guilt wash over him.
After all, they had been friends, classmates, and roommates. If he became even slightly excited, it was impossible to hide.
Strictly speaking, he was the one who had first suggested “trying it.”
It would be a lie to say he didn’t want to, but now that Xi’er had taken the initiative to bring it up, he suddenly didn’t want to rush into “trying it” immediately.
Right now, the more important thing was to seize the opportunity and officially confirm their status as a couple!
“Jiang Xiao…”
Song Qiuyu took the lead again, pressing her lips against his and purposefully licking them a few times.
“Xi’er, by doing this now, you’re expressing that you’re willing to be my girlfriend, right?”
Jiang Xiao asked, barely maintaining his self-control. His hands, braced on either side of her body, gripped the bedsheets so tightly that the veins on the backs of his hands bulged.
Song Qiuyu paused for a moment.
Then, she directly bit Jiang Xiao’s lip. Her affection for him could no longer be suppressed; it was overflowing.
‘I want to, I want to so much! I don’t just want to be your girlfriend; I want to be Jiang Xiao’s wife and have his children!!’
Jiang Xiao looked at her as she stayed immersed in her own world and felt speechless.
‘Say it out loud! Don’t suddenly turn into a mute and only think it in your head!’
Jiang Xiao turned his face away in annoyance, refusing to let her keep biting him.
Song Qiuyu’s movements faltered. She opened her eyes and stared at Jiang Xiao’s face with an obsessed gaze. Slowly, her expression morphed into one of grievance.
But she was so shy.
She couldn’t bring herself to say the words… what should she do?
She suddenly felt that her current state was very strange. She had been able to express her unwillingness to be just friends and her desire to be his girlfriend this morning, but now, she truly couldn’t say it.
However, if she continued to stay silent, Jiang Xiao would definitely be upset again.
Jiang Xiao caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye.
Her beautiful almond eyes were filled with shimmering tears, and her entire face was flushed red, even the tip of her nose.
She looked pitiful, lovely, and infuriating all at once.
In that instant, he understood. He was completely under Xi’er’s spell for the rest of his life. He truly had no way to deal with her.
Fortunately, the same was true for her.
He hurried to coax her. “Fine, fine, fine, I get it! We’ll try, we’ll try right now!”
Song Qiuyu stopped crying instantly, though the tears in her eyes were still spilling over.
“But—cough, how about you put this on first?”
Jiang Xiao guided her gaze toward the Red String Gold Bell held in his left hand.
“Mm.”
Song Qiuyu was startled.
Seeing her nod after only a brief hesitation, Jiang Xiao rolled over to the side and handed the Red String Gold Bell to her.
He then watched as she sat up, her face flushed with shame.
She rolled up the left leg of her pants and bit her lip, carefully tying the Red String Gold Bell around her ankle.
The gold bell swayed gently, making a crisp, pleasant sound.
*Jingle.*
Jiang Xiao fell into thought, remembering certain scenes from a manga, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
Once it was tied, Song Qiuyu turned her head away and bit her lip.
She must have also remembered those messy scenes from the manga. She shifted her body unnaturally, her small hand covering the back of her neck—incidentally hiding the most sensitive patch of skin on her throat.
“Xi’er, are you ready?” Jiang Xiao’s deep voice rang out.
“Rea—”
Song Qiuyu immediately became nervous, clenching her hands as she prepared to give her all in response.
At that moment, Jiang Xiao reached out and turned her face back toward him. He looked down into her eyes and lowered his head until their warm breaths mingled.
“Let’s begin.”
Jiang Xiao kissed her without hesitation.
“Mmph!”
Even though she was prepared for the kiss, the reality far exceeded her imagination.
The words Song Qiuyu hadn’t finished were forced back down her throat as she endured Jiang Xiao’s increasingly fierce kiss.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly with her heavy breathing.
In the quiet winter night, the ambiguous and shameful sounds deepened the inner turmoil. They could no longer hear any other noise.
Even the crisp sound of the gold bell was muffled.
“Mmm… nh!”
As the kiss deepened, Song Qiuyu’s thoughts went blank, and her delicate body couldn’t help but tremble.
Those uncontrollable feelings, along with other things, began to slowly leak out.
Jiang Xiao suddenly stopped kissing her.
When he pulled away, Song Qiuyu’s lips remained slightly parted. Looking at the bite marks she had left on him, she felt unbearable shame, yet she couldn’t help wanting to initiate another kiss.
“Do you remember what they did in the manga? Should we try that too?”
Jiang Xiao’s large hand reached behind her, skillfully undoing her restraint.
“I really can’t do anything about you… then let’s try it…”
Song Qiuyu responded softly.
Even though just watching as a reader had been shameful enough, her desire to try it with him outweighed her embarrassment.
“You can’t go too far.”
“Ugh!”
The hem of her shirt was lifted to her mouth. Song Qiuyu hesitated for two seconds before obediently biting down on the fabric, lowering her eyes.
With just one look, her brain began to buzz.
‘It’s fine. Anyway, I’ve already rubbed against and poked Jiang Xiao’s pectoral muscles several times!’
‘Now, things are just reversed!’
‘But…’
‘Hmm, the visual impact is definitely quite different. They still need to grow properly.’
Jiang Xiao, on the other hand, was much more composed.
He looked on with an enchanted, appreciative gaze for a long while before carefully cupping her with both hands and lowering his face.
“Xi’er, do you know how long I’ve been craving this?”
He gave her a light kiss.
“I don’t know.” ‘Even though they really are cute, it’s normal to crave them.’
“Do you want to know?”
“I don’t…”
“Mmm…”
Song Qiuyu bit down hard. The gold bell on her ankle shook violently.
In all her years, this was the first time she had ever been treated like this.
Shamed, she wanted to kick and hide, but Jiang Xiao decisively pressed down on her back, pulling her closer to him.
Their four legs intertwined.
With nowhere to run, Song Qiuyu could only press her lips together and try to adapt.
The strange thing was that once she thought of it that way, many things became easier.
But this couldn’t be called “taking care of her” anymore; he was clearly bullying her!
He was taking revenge…
Taking revenge for her biting and nipping him earlier, and he was doing it twofold…
Curse him.
How could he have the heart to be so rough with such cute little buns!
Jiang Xiao stopped again.
“Nnh…”
Song Qiuyu looked at Jiang Xiao with a misty gaze. Her heart was already a mess, yet she wanted things to become even messier.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Xiao, unable to help himself, pulled the hem of the shirt from her mouth. Smiling again, he captured her lips.
This was just the beginning—how could he already be losing focus?
He truly wished he had eight hands and eight mouths!
He had to do his best to take care of Xi’er; he couldn’t neglect her.
He had to perform his absolute best today!
“Mmm…”
Feeling the gentler kiss, Song Qiuyu closed her eyes, and a tear slid down her cheek.
She loved him so much. How could she love him this much?
She was already deeply immersed and unable to extricate herself.
She actively returned his kiss, and Jiang Xiao cooperated.
Then, like a beast that had been given permission, he crossed over the peaks and followed the smooth path with high morale, heading straight for the Tiger’s Den.
The fierce tiger’s body jolted, not daring to move.
However, during this first exploration of the Tiger’s Den, he encountered a very tactless roadblock.
Jiang Xiao was stunned. He recognized it immediately, and then he suddenly remembered something.
It seemed today was not a good day for hunting tigers.
The kissing stopped once more.
“Mmm?”
Song Qiuyu was also a bit dazed.
“Xi’er, do you remember?”
Jiang Xiao looked up at her blissful expression and swallowed hard.
“What day is it today?”
Song Qiuyu’s misty eyes half-closed as she panted. Her brain, dazed from the heat, slowly turned over the information.
Oh.
It was the day her relative had just arrived.
Jiang Xiao laughed helplessly.
Then he saw her hurriedly cover herself with both hands, biting her lip as she said, “Since it’s like this, then we…”
“I want to as well.”
Jiang Xiao sighed, placing a hand over his forehead.
“But the atmosphere has already reached this point. Do you want to stop?”
“Jiang Xiao, you’re hurting right now, aren’t you?”
Song Qiuyu frowned. Even though she had lost some sensation, she could still feel for him.
“Yeah.”
Jiang Xiao didn’t hide it, letting her see it quite openly.
“It hurts so much I could die.”
