After Becoming Pregnant With The Empress Cat's Cub - Chapter 39

In the dim interior, the moonlight filtering through the glass windows enveloped a pair of silhouettes behind the door.

The hazy shadows overlapped from afar, they looked inseparable. Up close, it was the same, their breaths mingled until one could not be distinguished from the other.

Having finished her sentence, Lan Ye lowered her heels from her tiptoes. Her hands, which were looped around the other’s neck, pulled the person even closer to herself.

With the moon as her witness, as long as she was kissed once more, she would forgive this tsundere princess for the “great crime” of planning to sleep in separate rooms tonight. After all, she was a very magnanimous person.

With her eyes curved into crescents, Lan Ye looked at the person who had leaned down to match her eye level. She tilted her chin up slightly and pouted her lips a bit to make it easier for the other to take action.

Warm breath brushed against her cheek, and one of her ears was still being kneaded in the human’s palm. Ju Rin felt her body stiffen everywhere. A sense of panic, the feeling of no longer being able to freely control her own body, made her extremely uncomfortable.

She felt a bit distressed, yet also restless for reasons she couldn’t explain.

In the night, the human’s obsidian like eyes held only her. As the human blinked, the moonlight mixed within them seemed like the surface of a shimmering pond, making the reflection of Ju Rin appear to be filled with fragments of light.

And so, in the darkness, Ju Rin felt she had nowhere to hide and no way to escape.

Her heartbeat gradually accelerated, her breathing hitched, and the heat on her face had already spread to her entire body. The only thing looping in her mind was the human’s request: “Kiss me again.”

That voice, light as if infused with a smile, dissipated into the night while simultaneously sinking into her heart. The lingering, affectionate tone flicked at her heartstrings again and again.

Her heartbeat went haywire, and her spiritual power became restless. Ju Rin felt an uncontrollable emotion spreading, and an alarm went off in her mind!

She swiftly shoved the clothes in her hands into the human’s arms. At the same time, she plucked her burning beast ears out of the human’s hands, pulled away the arms hooked around her neck, straightened her back, and took a step back to widen the distance!

In an instant, the intimate posture returned to normal.

It was so fast that Lan Ye couldn’t even react in time.

She looked in surprise at the pile of clothes shoved into her arms, they were the ones Rin had reached out to take from Lola outside the door just moments ago. She had heard Lola’s words, these were the clothes she was supposed to change into after bathing.

Why shove them at her now? Was it because she wanted to continue kissing and needed her hands free?

Lan Ye looked at Ju Rin’s empty hands and the distance between.

Her intuition told her something was wrong!

Recalling this person’s criminal record of running away after a kiss, Lan Ye’s eyes narrowed. Is she planning to run again?!

As this suspicion arose, Lan Ye’s gaze sharpened. She was about to step sideways to block the door, but before she could move, her body suddenly became weightless!

Her narrowed eyes widened instantly. While a flash of surprise crossed her gaze, Lan Ye instinctively spread her legs and wrapped them around the other’s waist!

Holding firmly onto that lean waist and feeling the contours of the body, Lan Ye felt a nerve in her brain twitch. She felt something was slightly off. This action of wrapping her legs around the other’s, she did it far too skillfully.

Ju Rin also felt something was wrong the moment she supported the human’s bottom. Their cooperation was simply too. She had originally just wanted to pick the human up, she hadn’t expected the human to wrap around her waist. Yet, her body had anticipated it, providing support just as the human climbed on. It was as if she had done this before like muscle memory.

Lan Ye felt the hands supporting her bottom were far too hot, burning away her surprise. All her attention was focused on her backside. She was about to ask what Rin was doing, whether she planned to kiss while holding her like this or if she just wanted to feel her but before she could speak, Rin moved.

This time, Lan Ye felt like she was running while…

Ju Rin was only surprised for a moment before coming up with a rational explanation, attributing everything to a beastman’s reaction speed.

She carried Lan Ye through the darkness toward the depths of the bedchamber. While the night affected a human’s vision, it had no effect on a beastman at all. Her target was clear, and her steps were fast and steady. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the bathroom door with Lan Ye in her arms.

She opened the door, turned on the light, and as she set Lan Ye down, she turned her around and pushed her one step into the bathroom. She herself took a step back, standing outside.

She dodged as if Lan Ye were a ball of fire that might accidentally burn her.

Lan Ye was truly bewildered, her face a mask of confusion. She didn’t know why Rin had suddenly picked her up, and now suddenly put her down!

Moving from the darkness into the light, she instinctively blinked. After seeing clearly that it was the bathroom, she turned around to look at the person who had carried her in and then backed out.

The situation between them now was the exact opposite of a moment ago. Before, Lan Ye was in the dark bedroom and Rin was in the bright hallway. Now, Rin was in the dim, unlit bedroom, and Lan Ye was in the lit bathroom.

“What is this for?” Lan Ye held the clothes and looked at her, her mind unable to keep up with the sudden turns. She had only asked for another kiss, what was this person doing now?

Looking at that face where the redness was spreading, framed by the light from the bathroom, those ears that had lost their color became golden once more. Both ears stood tall and twitched in unison.

“Bath,” Ju Rin spoke, looking at her. She wanted to say “take a bath and go to bed early,” but before she could finish the second half of the sentence, the human interrupted her with an incredible tone.

“You… bath?”

Ju Rin instinctively nodded. She did mean a bath. The moment she nodded, she saw an excited light suddenly flicker in the human’s eyes.

Lan Ye had thought she misheard, but Rin really meant a bath!

A bath! It’s a bath!

Rin suddenly carried her to the bathroom to have her wash! After she asked for a kiss, Rin carried her to bathe!

Under what circumstances does one person need to carry another to the shower?! Or rather, what kind of activity requires a bath beforehand?

Her previous dissatisfaction was completely thrown to the back of her mind, replaced by excitement. Every cell in Lan Ye’s body was buzzing!

Ju Rin: “…”

Seeing the human’s face transform after her nod, Ju Rin realized something was wrong, but for a moment, she couldn’t figure out where the problem. Do humans not bathe before sleeping?

Lan Ye looked at her, squinting with an “I didn’t think you were that kind of person” expression.

“You want to kiss after washing? Kiss on the bed? Kiss something else too?”

Ju Rin: “…”

She seemed to know where the problem was now! She just wanted the human to take a bath and go to bed early, she didn’t mean to kiss again!

Ju Rin’s mind was a mess. She didn’t even know why she had suddenly kissed the human just… How could she have been so impulsive as to just press her lips down? She… she just wanted the other to shut up and stop saying things she didn’t want to hear. She clearly had many ways to do it, so why did she choose the most inconceivable one?

Thinking of the scene just now, her lips still felt that heat. The blood rushed to her lips and then spread through her mind, and her slightly calmed spiritual power began to act up again.

Looking at the human’s sparkling eyes, knowing full well the other had misunderstood, the words “no more kissing” were hard to say. Finally, under the human’s expectant gaze, Ju Rin muttered three words.

“Bath first.”

Having said that, Ju Rin immediately closed the bathroom door between them, blocking the human’s scorching gaze!

Bath first? First? Lan Ye chewed on those two words. If there’s a “first,” there must be a “later.” As expected, it was exactly what she thought!

Tsk tsk tsk, incredible. What happened to this tsundere princess? Did she suddenly unblock the “lewd” meridian in her body?

At that thought, Lan Ye’s eyes lit up. It must have been that kissing and licking just now that felt too good! She didn’t expect her little trick tonight to have such an outstanding effect.

Originally, she only planned to lock her out and teach her a lesson, make her beg to open the door so that she’d never think of sleeping separately again. But she hadn’t anticipated Rin would barge in.

Rin always gave her the impression of someone who was extremely restrained. She thought someone like that would, at most, compromise verbally or try to reason with her. She didn’t expect her to be a woman of action!

And not only did she barge in, she even kissed her. The kiss was so domineering, pinning her right against the door!

Thinking about how there were people outside at the time made Lan Ye’s heart throb, especially with those two knocks afterward. Her heartbeat was very abnormal. In the darkness, she felt a mysterious sense of having an affair, it was so stimulating!

And that kiss in the dark. Lan Ye licked her lips and curved her eyes. It really felt right! She doubted whether Rin had truly never kissed anyone before. Could she be a natural talent? When she kissed her, she even licked her. Aside from that first hesitant touch that felt like a probe, the subsequent licks were extremely practiced.

Ahhh! Lan Ye hugged her clothes and covered her face. Those few times Rin licked her were so comfortable!

She didn’t expect to be licked tonight, it was a total pleasant surprise. She only used a small trick!

Lan Ye hopped and skipped further into the bathroom. She had to wash up quickly. Everything before was just the appetizer, after the bath comes the main course!

Thinking of that dream she had been having for nearly a month, she would have to tell Rin later, the places she wanted to be licked were quite a few!

She would wash them all clean~

Hearing the sound of water starting in the bathroom, Ju Rin, leaning against the wall outside, covered her chest and let out a breath.

When she didn’t hear any movement inside earlier, she was worried the human would chase her out. She still couldn’t understand how she had ended up kissing her, and even habitually licking and doing it more than once.

It was as if her body was out of control, as if some consciousness was manipulating her to do it with practiced movements. It was as natural as water reaching the lips.

Was it that night? The night the human broke in, perhaps they had kissed and licked like that then…

Hearing the happy singing faintly coming through the continuous pitter-patter of the shower, Ju Rin’s heartbeat became even more erratic. Thinking of the human’s misunderstanding, Ju Rin reached out to touch her still not back to normal beast ears.

Later, she looked toward the large bed in the distance, was she really going to do that?

Lan Ye took this bath very seriously, she didn’t skimp just because she was in a hurry. After all, the person was already in the bedchamber, could she really run away?

Well, it was possible. But Lan Ye wasn’t worried. Even if she ran, it’s not like Lan Ye didn’t have legs, she could chase her! In this situation, even if Rin ran to the ends of the earth, she’d have to pursue her!

Lan Ye looked at her soap covered chest and rubbed seriously. Thinking of the feeling of being licked there that night, she couldn’t help but stomp her feet in place.

After an exciting shower, Lan Ye quickly changed into her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

Inside the bedchamber, the lights were on, one at the head of the bed and one by the sofa. On the sofa, Rin sat upright, holding a book in her hands.

Seeing her target, Lan Ye’s eyes glowed. She trotted toward her in her slippers.

Ju Rin’s book hadn’t been flipped since she opened it. Her gaze had been fixed on the closed bathroom door until the sound of water stopped. Only then did she retract her gaze and look at the book in her hands.

But she hadn’t processed a single word…

Hearing the door open and feeling that gaze on her, she pretended she had only just realized the human was finished and looked over.

The human had finished her bath and changed into thin sleepwear, revealing a section of her pale calves. She looked like a little wild flower in the morning, seemingly still carrying dewdrops. The smile on her face was brilliant even without sunlight.

Ju Rin uneasily tightened her grip on the book. Seeing that the human was almost upon her, Ju Rin tossed the book aside, grabbed the sleepwear Lola had just delivered to the sofa, and stood up abruptly.

“I’m going to bathe.”

Leaving behind that single sentence, Ju Rin circled around Lan Ye and hurried toward the bathroom.

Lan Ye: “?” Why the rush?

“You should have said so earlier! We could have washed together!” Lan Ye shouted at Rin’s retreating back.

Ju Rin, who was about to step into the bathroom, almost tripped over her own legs.

Before the bathroom door closed, Lan Ye shouted loudly, “I’ll wait for you! Hurry up!”

With a clunk, Ju Rin failed to control her strength and slammed the door shut.

Lan Ye looked at the closed door with some regret. Why hadn’t she thought of washing together? The princess’s bathroom was huge, it wouldn’t be crowded with two people, even three would be more than enough.

She was just too excited and forgot that Rin needed to bathe too. Whatever, she didn’t mind waiting a bit longer.

Lan Ye withdrew her gaze and looked at the sofa, curious about what book Rin was reading. When she came out of the bathroom, Rin looked so serious, as if she were reading some very profound book, even knitting her brows slightly.

She picked up the book on the sofa and turned it over to look at the cover.

《Postpartum Care for Humans》

Lan Ye: “…”

This tittle.. Lan Ye’s eyelids jumped. She was reminded of a famous work.

《Postpartum Care for Sows》.
