Yu Lingshan was far too good at tormenting Xu Shi, telling her to do this, then telling her to do that.
Xu Shi was shy but cooperative. Whatever Yu Lingshan said, went. Whatever she wanted Xu Shi to do, she did. Whatever Yu Lingshan wanted to hear, she said. And as for the things she couldn’t bring herself to say…
In front of Yu Lingshan, there was nothing she couldn’t say.
After two rounds, Xu Shi was sprawled on the bed, not wanting to move an inch. She felt a little overexcited, her nerves numb.
Being the bottom was pretty great too, hehe haha.
But it was a shame Yu Lingshan was on her period. Being teased like this, Xu Shi could only surrender without being able to retaliate. It was truly frustrating.
She also wanted to hear Yu Lingshan moan uncontrollably, panting as she said, “Baby, I can’t take it anymore.”
Yu Lingshan came out of the bathroom after showering. Xu Shi was still lying on the bed. Yu Lingshan snuggled in and gently patted Xu Shi’s butt. “That tired?”
Half of Xu Shi’s face was buried in the pillow. “Mhm.”
Yu Lingshan asked, “Was it good?”
Xu Shi paused for a moment, then slowly buried the other half of her face in the pillow. “Mhm.”
Yu Lingshan started to laugh.
Yu Lingshan didn’t give Xu Shi a chance to lie there for too long. She burrowed into Xu Shi’s arms, then lifted her head to kiss the corner of Xu Shi’s mouth.
Xu Shi sat up a little and hugged Yu Lingshan as she usually did.
Xu Shi asked, “Are you tired?”
Yu Lingshan: “I’m okay, my hand is a little sore.” She then asked Xu Shi, “Are you tired when you’re on top of me?”
Xu Shi said, “Not tired at all.”
Yu Lingshan let out a long “Ahhh.” “Playing this game with me.”
Xu Shi laughed.
Yu Lingshan pinched Xu Shi’s cheek. “You’ve gotten naughty, little one.”
Xu Shi: “Just a little naughty.”
After saying that, she asked Yu Lingshan, “Do you want it?”
Yu Lingshan rolled her eyes at her. “What do you think?”
Xu Shi’s eyes curved into crescents. “I don’t know, I want to hear you say it.”
Yu Lingshan continued to pinch Xu Shi’s cheek. “You little rascal.” She tilted her head. “I want it, and then?”
Xu Shi snickered. “There is no ‘and then.’” She said, “Then let’s wait until your period is over, okay?”
As she spoke, she even patted Yu Lingshan’s head, as if to comfort her.
Yu Lingshan chuckled. “Oh, thank you.”
Xu Shi: “You’re welcome.”
Xu Shi held Yu Lingshan for a while longer, until their body temperatures were about the same, then she also went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she returned to the bedside, before she even got in, Yu Lingshan had already lifted the covers.
It was such a small gesture, but Xu Shi didn’t know what was wrong with her today; her heart was flooded with emotion because of it.
She even thought, what if they hadn’t met at the coffee shop back then?
Even more so, what if she had missed Yu Lingshan during that school assignment?
Xu Shi slipped in, and her role as a human pillow immediately came into play as Yu Lingshan’s arms and legs wrapped around her.
Xu Shi asked, “Are you sleepy?”
Yu Lingshan was still wriggling to adjust her sleeping position. Hearing Xu Shi’s question, she suddenly lifted her head. “You want more?”
“No,” Xu Shi said helplessly. “No.”
Yu Lingshan smiled. “It’s okay, I can be your big, strong top too.”
Xu Shi burst out laughing. “No, that’s not it.”
The mood she had just carefully cultivated was ruined by Yu Lingshan.
“I just wanted to talk to you,” Xu Shi said.
Yu Lingshan’s disappointment was palpable. “Ah~ Then go ahead.”
“Yu Lingshan,” Xu Shi called her name.
Yu Lingshan: “Mhm.”
Xu Shi: “Do you know what a ‘lesbian goddess’ is?”
Yu Lingshan laughed. “Of course I do, you big straight girl.”
“…Oh,” Xu Shi asked again, “Do you know that people call you that?”
Yu Lingshan lifted a hand and gently flicked her hair. “Uh-huh, so what?”
Xu Shi was immediately amused. “Hahahaha.”
Lying down wasn’t enough for this sister to show off.
Xu Shi: “I saw an interview video of you where you talked about me.”
Yu Lingshan let out a long “Ahhh.” “What about it? You want to talk to me about this?”
Xu Shi: “Mhm.”
Xu Shi stroked Yu Lingshan’s hair. “I want to know what happened to you back then. It probably wasn’t as easy as you made it sound in the video.”
Hearing this, Yu Lingshan’s eyes immediately lifted to meet Xu Shi’s.
Yu Lingshan: “Why do you say that?”
Xu Shi: “Because you needed me. You needed a stranger.”
Yu Lingshan stared into Xu Shi’s eyes for a long moment, then slowly smiled.
Yu Lingshan: “You seem to know me very well.”
“I know you, and I want to know you better.” Xu Shi took Yu Lingshan’s hand and placed it on her own cheek. “That was our beginning. I want to know.”
Xu Shi looked at Yu Lingshan with her big eyes. “Can we talk about it?”
Yu Lingshan chuckled. “Now that you’ve put it that way, do I have any reason to refuse?”
Xu Shi let out a little laugh. “Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, don’t force yourself.”
“‘If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t force yourself,’” Yu Lingshan mimicked Xu Shi. “You’re already prepared to listen.”
Xu Shi: “Hehe.”
Yu Lingshan: “It’s a long story.”
Xu Shi: “It’s okay, take your time.”
Yu Lingshan smiled. “I don’t think I’ve ever talked to you about my parents.”
Xu Shi: “Mhm.”
Yu Lingshan smiled. “It’s been so long since I mentioned them, what was it again.”
Xu Shi lay on her side, her big eyes watching Yu Lingshan, repeating her words, “What was it again?”
Yu Lingshan stroked Xu Shi’s hair. “They were both from X-City, but my mother passed away very early. By the time I have memories, I didn’t have a mother anymore.”
Xu Shi patted Yu Lingshan’s back.
Yu Lingshan continued, “You probably don’t know much about people from X-City. In some families, the preference for sons over daughters is very strong. Unfortunately, my dad’s family was one of those.” Yu Lingshan said, “I was rebellious since I was young, never one to admit defeat. Plus, my younger brother was really annoying. I didn’t like interacting with him, let alone taking care of him. So his family basically didn’t bother with me, and they often hinted that it was a waste to have given birth to me.”
Xu Shi frowned. “How could they be like that?”
Yu Lingshan smiled. “It’s fine. It was better that they didn’t bother with me; that way, there were no feelings involved.” Yu Lingshan rested her head on Xu Shi’s shoulder. “I was raised by my maternal grandmother. Later, when I got into university and studied art, they and the neighbors would make sarcastic remarks, saying my major had no future. Then, around the time I was about to graduate, my grandmother passed away.”
Xu Shi held Yu Lingshan a little tighter.
“That period was really hard,” Yu Lingshan’s voice was soft. “Because of employment issues and family problems, I felt like I couldn’t breathe every day.” Yu Lingshan gave a small laugh. “It was very real. I suddenly felt so alone. There was no one in front of me, and no one behind me. I even thought, if things continued like this, my dad would definitely mock me even more to prove his foresight.”
Yu Lingshan: “I was in a terrible state back then. The only reason I could persevere was because I thought of my grandmother. I thought she definitely wouldn’t want to see me like that.”
“But every day, I didn’t know what I was doing. It felt like I wanted to try everything, but I was also unwilling to try just anything. That bit of pride in my heart was constantly being crushed by reality.”
Xu Shi was immediately reminded of the time right after her own graduation. Back then, because of Ying Jie, not a single one of her interviews for the jobs she wanted was successful.
“Then I met you.” Yu Lingshan looked up at Xu Shi.
Yu Lingshan’s voice was very soft as she said these things. It was a sad story, but her tone was exceptionally gentle.
“That long review you wrote was really good. And partly because of your review, a lot of people started paying attention to me.” Yu Lingshan looked at Xu Shi. “Your review is still on my computer. Do you want to see it?”
Xu Shi smiled. “I’d rather not.”
Yu Lingshan: “You know the rest of the story. I was discovered by Elder He.”
Xu Shi shook her head. “I don’t know. How would I know? You were following me, I didn’t know about that.”
Yu Lingshan’s eyes immediately curved into crescents. “Waiting to hear about this, are you?”
Xu Shi: “No~o, I want to hear everything. Go on.”
Yu Lingshan sighed. “Being a fan isn’t easy. I waited for you to post on Weibo every day. You didn’t post regularly at all, so I never knew when you’d update. If I waited a whole day and you didn’t post, I’d get into a bad mood.”
Xu Shi chuckled. “I didn’t write anything special, did I? What did I write?”
Yu Lingshan: “You didn’t write anything special, but you made everything you wrote sound so interesting. You would share half of your earbud with a snail to listen to music with it. When it ran away, you even cursed it out, saying it had no taste and couldn’t appreciate such good music. Do you remember that?”
“Really? I don’t remember.” Xu Shi smiled. “Sounds like something I would do back then.”
Yu Lingshan: “Anyway, it was very cute. Especially cute. I just kept thinking, how could someone live their life in such an interesting way.”
Xu Shi was happy. “Is that so.”
Yu Lingshan: “Later, as Heard, I was lucky enough to see a little bit of your cuteness. It got to the point where for a while, I was a little jealous of myself.”
Xu Shi started laughing. “You are Heard.”
Yu Lingshan pinched Xu Shi’s nose. “Alright, now I am Heard, and you are Xu Shi.”
Xu Shi understood immediately. “Okay.”
Yu Lingshan: “Alright, I’m done talking. Does Miss Xu have any more questions?”
Miss Xu’s eyes curved. “Nope.”
Yu Lingshan: “Okay, now you have two options. Top me one more time, or go to sleep.”
This sudden turn left Xu Shi stunned for a long moment before she said, “I choose…”
Yu Lingshan didn’t give her a chance to choose. “You choose the former.” After saying that, she wrapped her arms around Xu Shi’s waist. “Come on, baby.”
Xu Shi started laughing. “Huh? Huh? What’s this, it’s too sudden.”
Yu Lingshan nuzzled her neck. “Not sudden at all.”
Xu Shi: “Hahaha, that tickles.”
Yu Lingshan: “Mmm~”
Xu Shi surrendered instantly and was soon teased into the right state by Yu Lingshan.
Yu Lingshan suddenly whispered in her ear, “Be a good girl. Moan nicely in a bit. It’d be best if the whole neighborhood could hear you, so everyone can hear how amazing I am.”
Xu Shi burst out laughing. “What are you talking about? No way.”
Yu Lingshan muffled her laughter. “Yes, you will.”
Yu Lingshan loved to make these kinds of outrageous jokes, each one more ridiculous than the last.
But she would force Xu Shi to say yes. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t do it, as long as she said yes.
If she didn’t say yes, Yu Lingshan wouldn’t let her off.
Sure enough, Yu Lingshan’s hands started to wander. “Will you or won’t you?”
Xu Shi had no choice. “Yes, yes, yes.”
Yu Lingshan’s fingers tapped here, tapped there, then tapped some more, before saying to Xu Shi, “Pick a place for me to kiss.”
Xu Shi said, “I want to kiss you.”
Yu Lingshan pinned Xu Shi’s hands down. “Am I the top or are you the top?”
Xu Shi smiled. “I am.”
Yu Lingshan worked her magic. “Hurry up.”
Xu Shi shivered instantly. “Ahhh, save me! Anywhere is fine, anywhere.”
Yu Lingshan: “It can’t be anywhere. Pick your favorite.”
Xu Shi covered her eyes, playing the ostrich. “My ear.”
As expected, after she said it, she heard Yu Lingshan’s meaningful, “Ah~”
Xu Shi felt miserable.
But Yu Lingshan was so sweet.
Later, Yu Lingshan was visibly tired.
Being the bottom was tiring, and being the top was tiring. She rolled into Xu Shi’s arms and wouldn’t let her go wash up.
Xu Shi was also a bit tired. Her brain was telling her to get up, wash up, and then go to sleep, but her body simply couldn’t do it.
Gradually, the two of them stopped talking, and their breathing became steady.
Just as Xu Shi’s consciousness was about to drift away, her phone, which she had tossed somewhere, suddenly rang.
She opened her eyes and first looked at Yu Lingshan, seeing her frown from being woken up. Then she spotted her own phone on the floor by her slippers.
She dragged her upper body over to pick up the phone, and the caller ID made her jolt wide awake.
Mom?
Xu Shi glanced at the time. It was already past two in the morning.
Xu Shi immediately answered the phone, her voice sounding off as she said, “Hello?”
Mom: “Where are you? Why aren’t you home?”
Xu Shi’s heart pounded. “I’m at… at…”
Before Xu Shi could finish, her mother spoke, but her tone sounded somewhat relieved. “Don’t tell me, girl, you’re at Yu Lingshan’s place?”
