Both of them stood frozen in place, as if time had been brought to a standstill.
Clatter. The sound of the suit jacket falling from Ling Yun’s arm broke the stillness. Yu Yixian’s eyes flickered; she loosened her grip, letting go of Ling Yun, intending for her to pick up the garment. The next second, however—
Ling Yun lunged forward, firmly grabbing Yu Yixian’s hand, while her other hand cupped Yu Yixian’s chin, forcing her to tilt her head back and open her mouth.
“Mmph!”
The sudden, headlong collision caused Yu Yixian’s pupils to constrict. Within her field of vision, she could only see the slender, graceful neck of Ling Yun as she swallowed.
Her mouth was filled and stirred by the soft entity between Ling Yun’s teeth. Yu Yixian instinctively followed Ling Yun’s rhythm, swallowing, expecting a moment of respite or a chance to catch her breath, but what she received instead was an even more violent occupation.
Yu Yixian grabbed Ling Yun’s collar with her free hand. Despite intending to push her away, her actual movements only pulled the other woman deeper into the embrace.
For the first time, she felt such intense emotion from Ling Yun—a mixture of excitement and ferocity—which allowed her to perceive the scorching heat hidden beneath that indifferent soul.
It was utterly addictive.
No one knew how long had passed. It was long enough that Yu Yixian’s neck felt sore, her mouth grew numb, and the tip of her tongue was left pitiably unable to retract.
A silver trail of liquid slowly flowed down the corner of her lips. Yu Yixian looked on in a daze as Ling Yun pressed a kiss against her cheek, ending this intimacy that had been initiated by her, yet was not concluded on her terms.
Ling Yun stroked Yu Yixian’s face. Watching her nuzzle against her palm, Ling Yun’s eyes were filled with complete satisfaction.
Ling Yun bent down to pick up the suit jacket, which had even been stepped on by her a few times. She walked a few steps, sat down next to Yu Yixian, and reached out to take her hand again, her fingers interlocking with Yu Yixian’s with an irresistible force.
Yu Yixian finally recovered from the intense intimacy. She instinctively wanted to reach out and touch her numb mouth, only to realize her hand was already firmly locked by Ling Yun.
The grip was so strong that it was impossible to break free.
Ling Yun leaned in, pressing her forehead against Yu Yixian’s, her tone turning gentle enough to melt.
“Baby is so sweet. I love it.”
“Senior!”
The corners of Yu Yixian’s eyes were still flushed from the intensity, and the mist in her eyes had not yet dissipated. Ling Yun looked at Yu Yixian, who was staring at her with wide eyes, and found her incredibly adorable.
This adorable little fish belonged to her.
Ling Yun raised her hand, her thumb pressing under Yu Yixian’s eyes, rubbing gently. Knowing Yu Yixian was shy at this moment, she thoughtfully changed the subject.
“Why are you sitting outside?”
Hearing Ling Yun turn serious, Yu Yixian’s shyness gradually faded, replaced by the joy of finally seeing her.
“It was a bit hot inside, so I came out to sit for a while.” Yu Yixian reached out and held Ling Yun’s hand, which was still on her face, staring with a pained expression at the dark circles under her eyes. “Senior, have you not been resting well lately?”
Counting it up, they hadn’t seen each other for three or four days. When they spoke over video calls, Ling Yun hadn’t shown any signs of fatigue, so Yu Yixian had naturally assumed she was getting proper rest.
But upon seeing her in person, the dark circles under Ling Yun’s eyes exposed her recent schedule completely.
Even if she wanted to quibble, she couldn’t find an excuse.
Ling Yun caught the look in Yu Yixian’s eyes and felt a flash of guilt, which was immediately detected by her.
Yu Yixian pulled her hand away from Ling Yun’s and glared at her, knitting her brows. “You definitely haven’t been resting well. What time did you go to bed yesterday, and what time did you wake up today? You are not allowed to lie, or I will never talk to you again.”
Ling Yun opened her mouth vaguely, swallowing the lie she had prepared, and even tried to divert the topic to avoid Yu Yixian’s interrogation.
“I’m a little hungry. Accompany me to get something to eat, would you, hmm?”
Yu Yixian almost couldn’t hold her ground seeing Ling Yun lowering her head to act cute. She cleared her throat and pulled her hands back, crossing her arms.
“Don’t change the subject! Tell me!”
Seeing this, Ling Yun had no choice but to speak helplessly: “I slept at four and woke up at eight, but I’m not tired. Besides, I only stayed up that late yesterday; my schedule was normal before that. Don’t be angry, baby.”
After speaking, she even reached out to grab Yu Yixian’s hand. Yu Yixian was still angry, so naturally, she wouldn’t let her touch her, dodging slightly.
Ling Yun’s hand remained in the air, and her black eyes instantly grew dark. She hurriedly lowered her head, dropping her eyelids to conceal the gloomy emotions surging in her eyes.
Why did you dodge me?
Must not frighten baby.
Don’t dodge me, you cannot dodge me.
Baby will be afraid, stay calm.
The two voices intertwined in Ling Yun’s mind, and eventually, the calmer side took the upper hand.
Yu Yixian didn’t know what had happened in those few seconds within Ling Yun’s mind; she only saw Ling Yun lower her head pitifully, as if begging for her forgiveness.
“Forget it. You must take better care of your body next time.”
Yu Yixian’s heart instantly softened. She knew Ling Yun’s work had been busy lately, and with graduation approaching, everything was piling up; staying up late must be normal.
But looking at the dark circles under Ling Yun’s eyes, her heart ached too. They hadn’t been there a few days ago; seeing how serious they were after just a few days of not seeing each other, her senior definitely hadn’t been resting well.
Yu Yixian leaned over and hugged Ling Yun, rubbing her face against Ling Yun’s neck like a kitten. “Senior, I like you so much.”
“Let’s go back early in a while. Senior, you should get some good rest today,” Yu Yixian said softly.
By the time Ling Yun snapped out of it, seeing Yu Yixian forgive her so easily, and even throwing herself into her arms, it caused the dark thoughts in her heart to spread.
Don’t be so good to her, or I won’t be able to stop myself from taking advantage of it.
Ling Yun wrapped both arms around Yu Yixian’s waist, slowly increasing the pressure, locking her in her embrace.
The two hugged like that, with Ling Yun speaking in a low voice about what had happened over the past two days. Yu Yixian would occasionally gasp or laugh out loud, the atmosphere harmonious and sweet.
At this moment, Yu Yixian’s phone suddenly vibrated.
“Senior, someone is looking for me.” Yu Yixian rested her chin on Ling Yun’s shoulder, patting her waist with her hand restlessly.
Ling Yun didn’t want to let go, tightening her arms once more before finally letting Yu Yixian go.
Yu Yixian reached out and touched Ling Yun’s face, giving her a soothing look before taking out her phone.
[Yang Yuan: Big Miss, where are you? Where did you go?]
Yu Yixian thought to herself, How dare you ask me? Wait, no. She glanced at Ling Yun, who was still looking at her with a resentful gaze, and suddenly remembered that when she met Ling Yun at the hospital, Ling Yun referred to Wei Da as “Young President Wei.”
Could it be that Ling Yun went on a business trip with Wei Da? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they both returned today?
But didn’t Yuan Yuan say that Wei Da couldn’t come back today?
Could it be that Ling Yun returned so actively just to accompany her?
Yu Yixian noticed that her hand was held by Ling Yun again at some point and was being toyed with. The force with which she pinched her fingertips varied between heavy and light, clearly meant to attract her attention.
Laughing to herself, Yu Yixian stopped doubting; she could tell by Ling Yun’s demeanor.
[X: You should let Wei Da accompany you; I want to accompany my girlfriend.]
After sending the message, Yu Yixian stopped looking at the phone. “Senior, did you visit your mother?”
Ling Yun nodded. “I went to see her before coming to find you. Ms. Ling Qian is already asleep, and Aunt Peilan is by her side, so they don’t need us.”
[Yang Yuan: ???]
[Yang Yuan: … I have nothing to do with him, really!]
[Yang Yuan: Wait, where did you get a girlfriend? Is it that cold, beautiful woman you brought that day?]
[Yang Yuan: … Hey!]
[Yang Yuan: I really have nothing to do with him, really!]
Regardless of her phone buzzing like a bee, Yu Yixian didn’t reply. She looked up and met Ling Yun’s dark eyes, chuckling at the obvious confusion in them. “Ignore her. For the rest of the time, I belong to you, Senior.”
Ling Yun suppressed the excitement in her heart and immediately followed up: “Really?”
“Of course.” Yu Yixian nodded with a smile.
“All mine, all mine.” Ling Yun was so excited that her fingertips couldn’t help but tremble. This sentence was no different from throwing a spark into a pile of dry firewood.
It ignited instantly.
“Mmph!”
Her lips were captured again. Yu Yixian widened her eyes, watching Ling Yun’s dark, bottomless pupils, before slowly relaxing her body and nestling into Ling Yun’s embrace, letting her act recklessly.
They messed around for an unknown amount of time until, finally, Ling Yun’s stomach growled, which allowed Yu Yixian to catch her breath.
Lying on Ling Yun’s shoulder, she muttered, “Senior, your kissing technique is a bit too good. Can I ask how many girlfriends you’ve had?”
The hand Ling Yun was using to stroke Yu Yixian’s back paused.
“Only you.” Her low, raspy voice was filled with satisfaction. “There will only ever be you.”
Since Yu Yixian had chosen her, unless she died, she would never let go.
Yu Yixian pulled herself out of Ling Yun’s embrace, staring suspiciously at Ling Yun’s black eyes. “Is that true, Senior?”
Ling Yun once again cupped Yu Yixian’s face, her thumb rubbing against her red, swollen lips, showing a look of regret.
“It’s true.”
Yu Yixian didn’t quite believe it. Senior had almost eaten her alive just now! She didn’t look like a beginner at all.
Could it be that she was afraid of her getting angry and jealous, so she didn’t dare to tell the truth?
Yu Yixian couldn’t hide her thoughts. Ling Yun understood what she was thinking the moment she looked at her. Although they couldn’t kiss anymore, Ling Yun leaned closer, speaking just inches away.
“I didn’t lie to you. I only like you, and I only want to kiss you.”
She finished by pressing her lips against hers briefly.
“It’s all because you, the teacher, taught me so well that I learned it immediately.”
Ling Yun was indeed telling the truth; it was the “Yu Yixian” in her dreams who had taught her.
In her dreams, under the hand-in-hand guidance of that “Yu Yixian,” Ling Yun had learned how to please her, satisfy her, make her succumb to her, and make her shed tears.
Looking at Ling Yun’s sincere expression, Yu Yixian believed her. As expected of a top student, Ling Yun learned everything quickly and perfectly.
She had even surpassed her teacher.
Yu Yixian had finished her jealousy; now it was Ling Yun’s turn.
“Baby, it seems you have a lot of ex-girlfriends,” Ling Yun said in a haunting tone, her thumb, still pressing on the swollen lips, unconsciously exerting force.
Yu Yixian was shocked, thinking to herself, Why did I bring this up? Isn’t this just asking for it?
She looked into Ling Yun’s jealous, dark eyes and hurriedly comforted her: “But I only have you now, Senior, and I only like you.”
Ling Yun shook her head slightly, appearing unsatisfied with the answer.
Yu Yixian’s eyes darted around. She took Ling Yun’s palm and left a kiss in its center.
“And there will only ever be you in the future.”
Ling Yun’s fingers curled. The spot where the kiss had been planted felt burning hot. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had recorded this vow; it was something Yu Yixian said herself, and it could not be broken.
Seeing Ling Yun close her eyes, Yu Yixian thought she was still unsatisfied. She bit her lip and continued: “I said the wrong thing today. You can punish me however you want, Senior; I’ll accept it. Don’t be angry, okay?”
“Senior, I only like you.”
Yu Yixian leaned in for a light kiss.
Ling Yun opened her eyes instantly and grabbed Yu Yixian’s arm, whispering in a low, gentle voice: “Are you willing to accept any punishment?”
Yu Yixian froze. Looking at Ling Yun’s dark, bottomless eyes, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
Senior shouldn’t be suggesting a punishment I can’t fulfill…
“Hmm?”
Yu Yixian heard Ling Yun make a sound of dissatisfaction and, gritting her teeth, said: “I’ll accept whatever punishment you choose! Just say it, Senior.”
Ling Yun revealed a satisfied smile.
