Chapter 48: Heart to Heart

Thump thump thump~

As a girl who had always hidden her identity,

Mo Yu experienced, for the very first and only time in her life, such close contact with a boy.

Although she hadn’t kissed Su Qi just now, leaving a slight sense of regret, at this moment, savoring the warmth and intimacy brought by the hug, along with the faint sweetness stirring in her heart,

Mo Yu’s little heart, which had never known love before, was beating wildly.

Because it was beating too fiercely, Mo Yu—who was used to binding her chest every day—suddenly felt a bit suffocated.

Taking advantage of Su Qi stepping into the kitchen, Mo Yu quietly reached out her pale little hand and slid it into the loose men’s pajamas, loosening the Bandage on her chest a little.

If it was just a little looser, A Qi probably wouldn’t notice!

Comforting herself with this thought, Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief as the two little white rabbits finally got some breathing room.

But just as her breathing became smoother, Mo Yu suddenly felt shy again—she and A Qi had just unintentionally done something very intimate.

How was she supposed to face A Qi later?

If she acted as if nothing had happened, it would feel awkward.

Should she take the initiative to explain?

Explain what?

That she was actually a girl, or explain her behavior just now?

No matter how she thought about it, it felt strange!

While Mo Yu was racking her brains to figure out how to smooth things over, pia da~

Suddenly, a soft thud came from the kitchen.

“A Qi?”

Hearing that sound, Mo Yu couldn’t help but call out.

There was no response from the kitchen.

Only then did Mo Yu realize… it seemed Su Qi had been in the kitchen for a while now.

Su Qi wasn’t responding and seemed to have fallen to the floor.

Could it be that A Qi had fainted because of the excitement just now?

Seeing this, Mo Yu immediately stopped overthinking.

Her right foot was still unhealed, so she crawled toward the kitchen just like Su Qi had moments ago, dragging her little behind along the floor.

Fortunately, Mo Yu lived in a Single-Person Apartment, and the kitchen wasn’t far from the living room.

After crawling just seven or eight steps, she reached the kitchen door.

Peeking inside, Mo Yu was taken aback.

Su Qi’s fair, handsome face was flushed with a suspicious red blush.

His peach blossom eyes looked dazed and dreamy.

His crimson lips parted slightly, and a streak of purple juice dripped from them.

His cute and charming expression held a hint of innocence.

One little hand gripped the purple juice, while the other lazily traced circles in the air.

Beneath his Uniform, his two slender, pale legs sat cross-legged on the floor like a duck.

Seeing Su Qi in this drunken state, Mo Yu noticed the purple drink in his hand.

Looking at the bottle, Mo Yu quickly pieced together what had happened.

Just now, Su Qi probably wanted to drink something to cool down but accidentally drank the highly sweet Fruit Wine brewed by Ye Fufu.

Mo Yu, also a member of the Adventure Team, had tried Ye Fufu’s Fruit Wine before.

Though it tasted very sweet, its aftereffects were strong—after one sip, Mo Yu had slept an entire day.

Now, half the bottle was gone, and seeing Su Qi’s tipsy, lazy, and adorable demeanor,

Mo Yu couldn’t help but silently thank the careless Ye Fufu for bringing the wine when she came to treat and visit her today.

If it hadn’t been for this bottle, it would definitely be very awkward between her and A Qi right now!

Since A Qi was already drunk, if he woke up, Mo Yu could just tell him it was a hallucination.

And now that A Qi was drunk, she could finally get along with him properly!

Maybe even secretly finish what they hadn’t completed earlier!

…

“A Qi, how are you?”

After crawling another meter, Mo Yu reached Su Qi’s side.

Seeing Su Qi’s dazed eyes, he still tried to reach for the drink.

To prevent alcohol poisoning, Mo Yu hurriedly snatched the bottle away.

“Huh? Why is it gone? I still want to drink.”

With the bottle out of his grasp, Su Qi pouted his cherry lips adorably and instinctively threw his arms toward Mo Yu’s chest.

Faced with Su Qi’s sudden attack, Mo Yu considered dodging might cause him to hit the wall.

So in the end, she didn’t dodge.

“Heeheehee~ So soft, A… hic… A Yu’s chest, so comfy.”

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Su Qi was unusually clingy, his voice softer than usual.

Hearing Su Qi’s murmured words, Mo Yu—who had just loosened the Bandage a bit—felt the gentle movement of Su Qi’s little head against her chest, like a nursing animal seeking its mother.

The Bandage under her pajamas was about to be pushed aside.

“A Qi, you’re drunk. Don’t move around. I’ll help you to bed.”

Somewhat flustered, Mo Yu quickly reached out to ‘pull’ the restless Su Qi from her arms.

Just as Mo Yu instinctively placed a hand lightly on Su Qi’s shoulder to push him gently away,

Su Qi suddenly seemed ticklish under his armpit.

He shrank cutely in response.

This small action wasn’t anything unusual,

but because Mo Yu happened to grab Su Qi’s clothes—and today Su Qi was wearing a loose Black Sweatshirt—the movement caused Su Qi’s flawless, creamy-white shoulder to quietly slip out from the sea of black fabric.

The contrast of black and white made the shoulder even more fair and translucent, delicate and radiant.

Combined with Su Qi’s flushed face and misty eyes, at first glance, it was truly enchanting.

Mo Yu swallowed her saliva without realizing it.

Just as Mo Yu was still stunned by Su Qi’s soft shoulder, her gaze shifted down slightly, spotting a suspicious patch of pale fabric.

Her surprise turned into puzzlement.

“Huh~ A Qi, are you hurt?”

Why was there white cloth wrapped around his chest?

No, it wasn’t just cloth—it was white Bandage, wrapped in a familiar way.

Worried about Su Qi’s injury, Mo Yu curiously tugged at one end of the white Bandage.

Following the wrapped pattern, she gently loosened a circle, and a pale, soft curve faintly appeared.

Unraveling another circle revealed a clearer gentle contour.

After unwrapping all the Bandages, a large wound appeared before Mo Yu’s eyes.

Looking at the two little white rabbits pounding inside and the pale skin crushed by their pressure, at that moment, Mo Yu’s mind slowly filled with a huge question mark.

So… as her childhood friend, A Qi—was he actually… also a girl?

At first, Mo Yu was a bit shocked by this realization but quickly accepted it.

After all, A Qi was the Author of that popular Lily Novel.

The novel described so many girl-specific details—how could A Qi know so much if she wasn’t a girl?

With this new understanding, Mo Yu grew excited again.

She was a girl, and A Qi was a girl, plus she wrote Lily Novels.

That meant A Qi probably wouldn’t hate her for being a girl.

With that thought blossoming in Mo Yu’s mind, she recalled the wonderful feeling of being embraced by Su Qi just now.

The next moment, Mo Yu stretched out her soft, pale hands once more—not to just loosen the Bandage this time, but to unravel it completely.

The white Bandage and chest binder quietly slipped off onto the smooth floor.

Soon, a strange and enchanting scene played out in the cramped kitchen…

Although both were boys with short hair and male attire, beneath their clothes, beautiful curves bloomed.

As the distance between them closed, the two perky, round mounds gently collided, heart to heart.

“A Qi, I really like you.”
