After Cannon Fodder A Accidentally Marked the Cold Film Queen - Chapter 44

It wasn’t until Shen Qingyu found herself inside the bathroom with Zhu Songning that she slowly started to recover her senses, her intellect gradually returning.

Shen Qingyu stared at her: “The things you just said… they weren’t sincere, were they?”

“You just wanted to achieve that accomplishment and deliberately used sweet words to trick me, right?”

Stared at by Shen Qingyu’s scrutinizing and serious gaze, Zhu Songning’s body trembled involuntarily.

“No! Absolutely not!”

She raised a finger to swear.

“Everything I said came straight from the heart! It couldn’t be more sincere!”

After saying the long string of words, Zhu Songning took a breath and then slowly added: “Although… it is true that I really want to achieve that five-star accomplishment…”

Shen Qingyu’s hand landed on her shoulder with a pop.

It was raised high, but in the end, it was gently placed down.

“Zhu Songning, you’re so annoying.”

Shen Qingyu clung to her, biting her ear.

A cool voice sounded by her ear.

“Do you have no burden in saying those things?”

Shen Qingyu’s tongue licked/lapped against her earlobe, the wet, sticky sensation burrowing into Zhu Songning’s ear.

Shen Qingyu had noticed early on that Zhu Songning’s ears were especially sensitive.

And they were very prone to turning red.

As a result, after the Alpha’s ear was kissed so intimately by her, she instantly couldn’t take it.

She pleaded for mercy from Shen Qingyu repeatedly.

Zhu Songning tried to avoid her action, quickly leaning her body to the right, but then she heard a pained cry from Shen Qingyu.

She immediately froze.

“W-what’s wrong?”

Zhu Songning’s voice trembled, sounding a bit anxious.

“It’s nothing, just bumped myself a little.”

Shen Qingyu slid off her, bent down, and rubbed her own knee.

Zhu Songning bent over to look and saw a small bruised patch there.

Shen Qingyu explained: “I accidentally bumped it just now, it’s my fault.”

“How is this your problem!”

Zhu Songning furrowed her brow.

If she hadn’t tried to move away, how would Shen Qingyu have hit the edge of the sink?

However, judging by the direction she dodged, even with the effect of inertia, it seemed Shen Qingyu’s knee wouldn’t have hit there, would it?

The thought flashed through Zhu Songning’s mind and quickly vanished.

She didn’t dwell on this line of thinking.

Zhu Songning crouched down and leaned closer to look at Shen Qingyu’s injury.

“Does it hurt?”

Shen Qingyu bit her lower lip and shook her head.

When Shen Qingyu wasn’t paying attention, Zhu Songning lightly touched it with her finger, and the Omega instantly flinched, her eyes glistening with tears.

“You call this ‘not hurting’?”

“No, I’m just more afraid of pain, I’ve been like this since I was little,” Shen Qingyu told her.

“It’s actually bearable.”

Zhu Songning didn’t speak anymore.

She thought once again of what happened the last time she went back to the Shen family’s old house with Shen Qingyu.

She recalled the palm of her hand, which was swollen from being beaten.

And Shen Qingyu, who hadn’t made a sound afterward.

The words Shen Qingmu had told her about Shen Qingyu’s past rang in her mind again.

Enduring humiliation for so many years—news reports and various rumors were passionately narrating her legendary story, of how she successfully turned the tide in a seemingly doomed game of chess.

But…

Zhu Songning’s hand grasped her leg.

Her gaze fell on her knee.

It must have been very difficult all these years.

It was just that everyone could only see the bright and vibrant side of the porcelain, but not the cracks hidden by the darkness behind and inside.

Her two hands grasped Shen Qingyu’s thigh and calf respectively, making her knee bend and straighten.

There was slight bruising, but the area was small. The pain was only felt when touched or pressed; it could bend and straighten, and there was no obvious swelling.

Fortunately, it wasn’t serious.

But she was still uneasy, so she took Shen Qingyu’s phone and sent a picture to her private doctor for consultation.

Following the doctor’s instructions, Zhu Songning retrieved a spare ice pack from the refrigerator and applied a cold compress for fifteen minutes.

Sitting on the sink and lightly swinging her legs, Shen Qingyu, bored, used her legs to clasp the Alpha who was seriously removing the ice pack in front of her.

“I want to take a bath, Zhu Songning.”

Zhu Songning put the ice pack aside, her hand pressing down on Shen Qingyu’s mischievous legs.

The soft, delicate sensation beneath her hand made her feel quite distracted, and she half-absentmindedly asked her: “In your state, how are you going to wash yourself…”

She suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Wait.

If she can’t wash herself, doesn’t that mean she needs someone else’s help?

Zhu Songning snapped back to reality, tightening her grip on her thigh, and some leg flesh squeezed out between her fingers.

“Are you setting me up?”

Zhu Songning raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

“Didn’t you previously refuse to let me bathe with you, no matter what I said?”

Shen Qingyu: “That’s because I have other things scheduled for tomorrow. I have an online live stream tomorrow night.”

She definitely couldn’t be drained dry by Zhu Songning tonight and then have to work tomorrow looking exhausted.

Zhu Songning questioned: “Then why is it okay now?”

Shen Qingyu couldn’t possibly say that her own sense of crisis was acting up, so she pouted at the injury on her knee: “See?”

Isn’t this a special situation requiring special treatment?

Besides, she didn’t believe that someone with such a strong sense of morality as Zhu Songning would leave a patient like her unattended.

Furthermore, in Zhu Songning’s mind, a large part of this situation was likely her own fault.

Just as she expected, the Alpha accepted her explanation.

Zhu Songning: “Fine.”

The bathroom here was quite a bit smaller than the one at the Shen family’s house, and even the bathtub was a single person size.

When Zhu Songning helped Shen Qingyu in, the already small space suddenly became even more crowded.

The other parts of their bodies inevitably brushed against each other.

Zhu Songning tried her best to maintain a focused state, not letting her mind wander, mechanically preparing everything for Shen Qingyu, and then carefully holding her into the bathtub.

Because Shen Qingyu’s knee couldn’t touch water, Zhu Songning placed her legs over the edges of the bathtub, cleverly keeping the wound away from the water.

However, this posture unexpectedly became very provocative.

Zhu Songning only glanced at it quickly before she blushed profoundly, the red color spreading upwards from her neck.

The steam in the space was too thick, the mist too heavy.

Everything before them was covered with a hazy filter, and the hot air was rising and flowing.

It was exactly like viewing flowers through a fog.

All the sights before Zhu Songning became blurred.

From the Omega’s long white hair flowing behind her, to her snowy white skin, the outline undulated as it submerged in the water, the water line rippled, and a pair of well-proportioned, delicate long legs stretched out from the water.

“Come here.”

Shen Qingyu’s hand rested behind the bathtub, and she lifted her chin toward Zhu Songning.

Zhu Songning didn’t know why, but she still leaned closer.

Jingle, jingle.

A massive ear headband was then placed on Zhu Songning’s head by Shen Qingyu.

It was very similar to the fox ears she wore on stage, but this was a pair of dog ears, with several small bells hanging from them.

“This is a pair, you know. I specially got them from the prop master. You have to cherish them now that I’ve given them to you.”

Shen Qingyu had used a sneak attack, so the two ears were also crooked, looking quite comical and ridiculous, making her burst into laughter.

Zhu Songning reached up to touch the hair accessory on her head, and the bells, moved by her action, let out a series of sounds.

Melodious and pleasant.

Shen Qingyu watched her clumsy appearance and playfully scolded her: “Idiot.”

The Omega cupped water in her hand and poured it over Zhu Songning until she, too, was wet all over, just like herself.

“Be careful.”

Zhu Songning wasn’t too bothered about getting wet.

The water in the bathtub was already quite full, the water line just barely above Shen Qingyu’s knee.

But Shen Qingyu wasn’t someone who would bathe quietly and honestly; the water surface in the tub was agitated, and Zhu Songning’s heart tightened along with the water’s movement.

“Don’t get your wound wet.”

Otherwise, she’d start complaining about the pain again and pin the blame on her.

Shen Qingyu listened to her words, stopped moving, and indeed seemed to calm down.

“Then, like this.”

She beckoned to Zhu Songning, signaling her to lean her ear closer.

“I have an idea.”

Shen Qingyu’s tone turned back into the familiar, clearly mischievous playfulness Zhu Songning knew.

Her hand hooked around Zhu Songning’s neck.

Suddenly, her other hand quietly reached around to Zhu Songning’s back, and with a pull, she dragged the person into the water with her.

Zhu Songning was startled by her action, and she supported herself on the edge of the bathtub with both hands, barely managing not to fall right onto Shen Qingyu.

The Omega’s expression seemed disappointed for a moment, but she quickly masked it without a trace.

“What are you trying to do?”

“Nothing in particular.”

Shen Qingyu casually took Zhu Songning’s hand resting on the edge, opened her mouth, and held her fingertip, her tongue licking and her canine teeth grinding against it.

Zhu Songning felt tickled by her bite and tried to pull her hand back, but Shen Qingyu gripped her wrist tightly, making it impossible for her to move even an inch.

“Ningning, this place is still too shallow. What if my wound touches the water? Will it get worse?”

Shen Qingyu tapped the edge with the knuckle of her other hand.

Indeed.

Just by looking, Zhu Songning felt it was extremely risky. Several times, she thought the water surface was about to submerge the wound on Shen Qingyu’s knee.

“Then what should we do?”

Zhu Songning asked her in a low voice.

“I think your shoulder looks quite nice.”

The Alpha was held kneeling in the water, a lot of water spilling out, like Zhu Songning’s heart, which was now submerged in water and about to overflow.

“Look how pitiful I am now. Be kind and lend me your shoulder to rest on, little puppy.”

Rest what?

The bells on the little puppy ears jingled.
