‘How could it be so beautiful, so melodious, and so tantalizing…’
Su Wanli’s gaze trembled slightly as she looked at Meng Wange’s exquisite collarbone and the few strands of brown hair scattered across her chest.
Meng Wange, who was usually so cold, noble, and seemingly unflappable, was currently sitting obediently across from her. She was allowing Su Wanli to touch her, approach her, and… whatever else she pleased.
Although her brain was constantly sending out danger signals—
However…
She couldn’t stop. She simply couldn’t stop.
‘I want to hear more, touch more, and hug Meng Wange tightly to exchange our body heat and…’
‘I want to see more of the different expressions on her face.’
‘And I still have the nerve to say Meng Wange is lecherous or that her head is filled with strange things? The one who has become abnormal — isn’t it me?’
‘Stop! If I continue being this insatiable, Meng Wange will definitely hate me!’
Relying on her last shred of rationality, Su Wanli took a deep breath and looked up at Meng Wange’s face —
Meng Wange’s pale eyes, which had drifted open at some point, were now reflecting Su Wanli’s figure. Her gaze was soft and indulgent, as if she could accept whatever Su Wanli was about to do.
‘…Should I continue to explore more areas of her body and let my fingertips wander over her…?’
‘Does this mean that even so, she doesn’t resist? Is she even allowing me to continue?’
Su Wanli, whose mouth was gradually becoming dry, silently pulled her chair one step closer to the desk.
A faint woody scent, along with an unnamed floral fragrance, emanated from the brown-haired girl before her.
‘What… what kind of flower is it?’
‘Perhaps if I get just a little closer, I’ll be able to tell.’
She vaguely remembered hearing somewhere that perfume was usually sprayed on the wrists or the back of the neck. If she just let the tip of her nose brush past the side of Meng Wange’s ear…
Unknowingly, the surrounding sounds vanished. Whether it was the birdsong, the insect chirps, or the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, everything disappeared into the air.
Only the sound of the two girls’ slightly hurried breathing remained in the room as they drew closer to each other.
Just as Su Wanli’s eyes were growing hazy and she was about to lean over toward Meng Wange to do what she wanted —
The page-turning clock on the desk suddenly made a *click* as it turned a page.
— The time reached 11:00.
The cold but dull edge of the page lightly brushed against the outside of Su Wanli’s arm, making her whole body jolt.
‘No, wait!? Did I overdo it!?’
‘Calm… calm down… I didn’t actually go too far, did I? I was just using Meng Wange’s silent permission to learn the drawing techniques she just taught me. There’s nothing wrong with these actions…’
Su Wanli looked at Meng Wange’s eyes in a panic, trying to draw a sense of calm from them.
However, at this moment, even the usually calm Heroine, Meng Wange, had a slightly dazed look in her eyes, and a faint blush had crept onto her cheeks.
…There was no room for excuses. She had indeed done something unforgivable just now!?
‘It was just for an unimportant drawing technique. How could I suddenly be so possessed that I would make such ambiguous moves toward the Heroine?’
‘When the System asks why I was touching Meng Wange’s collarbone, am I really going to answer — that it was for art?’
‘Besides, Meng Wange must also hate how I’ve pushed my luck…’
However, before Su Wanli could fully wake up from her pink, romantic fantasy and withdraw her fingers —
Meng Wange suddenly pursed her lips and reached out to grasp Su Wanli’s fingertips.
“I’m sorry, Miss Su.”
She used her other hand to gently rub her Sun Acupoints as she gave Su Wanli a light smile —
“This… it’s just because I’m not used to being touched by others. However, if it’s you… you can touch me however you want.”
‘Wh-what do you mean by “touch me however you want”? That’s way too strange!? Does that mean I can do this and that, or touch her here and there!?’
She couldn’t do it. Her behavior just now had almost reached the limit of social distance. If she continued, Su Wanli couldn’t guarantee that her rationality would return.
Although she was gritting her teeth in regret, she still coughed twice, sat back up, and tried to make her voice sound calm and serious —
“N-no need…!!”
‘Damn it!? Of all times to bite my tongue!?’
Like a cat that had its tail stepped on, Su Wanli jumped up from her chair and waved her hands frantically at Meng Wange, explaining as fast as she could —
“No need! I… I think I’ve pretty much mastered it! It’s time to go practice!”
“…Is that so?”
For some reason, Meng Wange looked a bit disappointed as she let out a soft sigh. She then smiled and straightened her body, tidying her slightly messy collar.
“However, in my view, the human body is made up of various structures. Before we formally finish, you should at least learn one complete part.”
As she spoke, she ran her finger down the left side of her neck until it reached her shoulder —
“…For example, since we’ve already touched the neck and collarbone, we should at least end here at the shoulder. Don’t you think?”
“I…”
She didn’t want to stop. She really didn’t want to stop, but…
Su Wanli took a deep breath, dug her nails into her palm, and said through gritted teeth —
“I think the content from this morning is enough!”
As soon as she finished speaking, before Meng Wange could respond, Su Wanli turned abruptly and strode out of the room —
“Th-that… we’ll talk about practice this afternoon! I-I’m going to see what Zhang Ma made for lunch today!!”
Watching Su Wanli’s back as she practically fled the scene, Meng Wange sighed softly and reached up to cover her forehead.
“…I… I overdid it.”
She finally had an opportunity to get close to Su Wanli, but because she had been too impatient, she had accidentally exceeded the other girl’s limit.
And yet…
Recalling the expression on Su Wanli’s face just now, the corners of Meng Wange’s mouth couldn’t help but curl upward.
Perhaps Su Wanli’s thoughts were much… simpler than she had imagined.
