After all, that was only natural.
As for her sister-in-law, how should she bring it up?
Unable to sleep at all, Jiang Lai kept recalling everything that had happened earlier.
She could feel that she no longer resisted her sister-in-law’s behavior.
No matter how intimate things got, she could accept them.
While remembering what her sister-in-law had done to her, Jiang Lai’s heartbeat quickened slightly in that instant, and she immediately felt a warm current spreading across her skin.
Even if she refused to admit it in her heart, her body’s subconscious reaction was the truest reflection of her inner thoughts.
Jiang Lai knew very clearly that she could no longer refuse her sister-in-law.
Even if her sister-in-law really forced something on her, as long as it was done gently, she felt it would not matter.
Thinking about how indulgent she could be, Jiang Lai wondered if she was just too lonely.
How had she even started having thoughts about her sister-in-law at a time like this?
Jiang Lai sincerely felt that she absolutely could not let her mind wander before going to sleep.
Otherwise, all kinds of strange and outrageous ideas would appear in her head.
This taboo, almost immoral relationship — just thinking about it, Jiang Lai would not allow herself to dwell on it too much.
Even if she could accept it, what would other people think?
Although the family’s life had nothing to do with what others said, there was still her daughter at home…
If her daughter found out that her dad and her aunt actually had an ambiguous relationship, and that the two of them had already developed into that kind of relationship long ago, Jiang Lai did not even want to think about whether she could set a proper example for her daughter.
It would already be good enough if she did not lead her daughter astray.
Jiang Lai was feeling very restless right now.
She hugged the quilt tightly and kept twisting and turning on the bed, rolling around without being able to calm down.
Even her nightdress had become all messed up.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Chi Yingyu’s voice suddenly appeared at the doorway of the room.
At some point, her dearest sister-in-law had already opened the door and was standing inside her room.
Jiang Lai had grown used to this.
As long as her sister-in-law did not barge in while she was changing clothes or taking a bath, she could tolerate it.
After all, as far as her sister-in-law was concerned now, she had no secrets left on her body.
Chi Yingyu looked at her brother-in-law lying on her side on the bed, then at the nightdress in this position.
The faintly visible fair skin almost made her unable to look away.
Her sister-in-law’s gaze was passionate and direct.
It should have been an embarrassing situation, but the other party did not dodge at all.
Instead, it gave her an invisible sense of pressure.
Jiang Lai naturally knew exactly what she was looking at.
Feeling the other’s direct and heated stare, she lowered her head to look at herself.
When she reacted, she had thought she would resist, feel uncomfortable, or feel shy.
But strangely, she felt none of those emotions.
Instead, she calmly thought, ‘Since my sister-in-law wants to look, then let her look her fill. She has seen it before anyway, so I do not need to be so shy.’
No! You are not allowed to look!
Even if her sister-in-law had seen it before — even more than now — that was not a reason for her to be so generous.
“But I did not see anything. Isn’t this the position you put yourself in? I just noticed it by accident.”
Chi Yingyu looked at her brother-in-law on the bed, who had pulled the entire quilt over herself out of embarrassment.
The smile on her face grew even brighter.
She first gently locked the door, then walked straight over.
Making excuses.
Jiang Lai really could not understand.
She had participated in almost all of her sister-in-law’s growth, so why had she never noticed that her sister-in-law was so thick-skinned?
At this moment, Jiang Lai suddenly felt that her past education had truly failed.
While Jiang Lai was inwardly blaming her past self, Chi Yingyu had already climbed onto her bed and was now only a very close distance away from her.
The soft glow from the night light in the master bedroom illuminated her sister-in-law’s delicate features.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at her carried an indescribable depth of affection and longing.
Jiang Lai could even see her own reflection in the depths of her eyes.
Chi Yingyu climbed onto the bed, lifted the quilt, and skillfully squeezed toward Jiang Lai.
She hugged her from behind, her left hand resting on her slender and soft waist, and her chin resting on her shoulder.
Feeling the skin-to-skin contact, she waited for a moment before letting out a satisfied sigh.
“Being close like this really feels the best.”
“Are you a child? This position of yours looks just like a little baby.”
“As long as I can stay in my brother-in-law’s arms, let alone a little baby — even if I’m a pet you raised, I’d be willing.”
Chi Yingyu’s nonsensical answer left Jiang Lai completely unable to respond.
She felt that her sister-in-law was like a kitten that had encountered catnip.
The other girl clung tightly to her body, unwilling to leave even a bit.
Jiang Lai felt Chi Yingyu’s softness.
Her sister-in-law was truly a very, very good person.
She had always faced her with only smiles and full of energy, never bringing any negative effects.
She was like a warm little sun, making people want to feel more of that warmth.
“Jiang Jiang, you smell so good.”
“What did you call me? Call me brother-in-law!”
“Okay, my good brother-in-law… hehe.”
As Chi Yingyu spoke, her hand that was hugging began to wander randomly on her back.
Wherever it touched, it sent tingling electric currents.
Jiang Lai wanted to stop her… but she only weakly twisted her body a little before giving up resistance.
Exactly when had she become so indulgent toward everything her sister-in-law did to her?
The relationship between the two of them was like a small seed that had quietly taken root and sprouted in her heart.
By the time it grew, it was already impossible to stop.
Jiang Lai could feel that she no longer resisted the other’s approach.
Instead, she began to look forward to it.
Even intimate moments like now gave her an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, as if this was something she had always longed for deep in her heart.
She even wanted to crave more.
She did not know when this emotion had started, but she knew clearly that she could no longer ignore this increasingly strong feeling.
The other’s closeness made her feel joy.
It even made her begin to wonder whether she had unknowingly developed forbidden feelings for the other person that she should not have.
Jiang Lai did not dare to think deeply about it, yet she could not control herself from thinking.
Every past intimate contact had made her sink deeper, step by step breaking down her bottom line until now, when she could no longer extricate herself.
“I think you should still understand what things can be done and what things cannot be done.”
Jiang Lai felt her sister-in-law’s increasingly bold actions and forcefully pulled her own rationality back.
She deliberately interrupted her.
“I know, but is it not even okay for me to just want to lie in the same bed and sleep with you right now?”
Chi Yingyu could feel that her brother-in-law was just being stubborn with her words.
If she really wanted to refuse, she would have pushed her away like before.
Why bother warning her with words?
However, this time Chi Yingyu did not plan to do anything more.
Not long ago, her brother-in-law had just gone through something so terrifying.
No matter how bad she was, she could not possibly make any moves on her brother-in-law at a time like this.
Right now, she just wanted to stay close to her brother-in-law.
Chi Yingyu’s arms hugged Jiang Lai tightly.
Feeling that familiar warmth and faint scent, the unease in her heart gradually began to disappear.
“Brother-in-law, you have to stay by my side forever.”
Her sister-in-law’s voice at this moment carried a hint of coquettishness and unease, as if afraid of being rejected or ignored.
Her hand tightened slightly, as if this could keep Jiang Lai firmly by her side.
Jiang Lai felt the warmth and slight trembling coming from her arms.
Her heart softened, and she gently stroked Chi Yingyu’s head.
“Mm, I will stay by your side forever. We will be together for this entire lifetime.”
Jiang Lai said softly, her tone gentle yet firm.
Although she did not know what the future would hold, when Chi Yingyu heard it, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
She looked as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
She snuggled closer into her brother-in-law’s arms, found a more comfortable position, and then stopped moving.
“No matter what happens, you have to stay by my side forever and ever. You have to be with me and never separate.”
