- Chapter 56 - Shen Qingyu V: Married
The wind of the winter night blew, and the outside world was quiet, with tree shadows elongated. The air was a bit dry, and the white mist exhaled dissipated slowly.
Zhu Songning looked at her wrists, tied with a snow-white ribbon—slender and soft. Above them was Shen Qingyu’s slightly surprised expression.
Shen Qingyu watched her for a few seconds before slowly asking back, “A little hard to imagine?”
“Then what were you doing when you were thinking about me before?”
Zhu Songning watched as Shen Qingyu raised her leg, kicking her fuzzy slippers far away.
Her foot landed on the chair Zhu Songning was sitting on, between the Alpha’s parted legs.
Zhu Songning clenched her fingers, the photo in her hand slightly crumpled, its sharp laminated edges grinding against her palm, which soon turned red.
Shen Qingyu smiled suddenly, watching her reaction.
The distance between them was instantly closed. Zhu Songning looked down, staring at Shen Qingyu’s toes, not moving.
Only a few centimeters separated them.
If Shen Qingyu moved forward just one more step, she could instantly… step on her, press against her.
The Omega’s toes were small and rounded, each nail delicately painted with a layer of dewy nail polish.
Her hand slowly removed the overcoat draped over her, revealing the dress underneath.
Shen Qingyu seemed to always favor short skirts over long ones; she loved all dresses and clothing that highlighted her figure.
She was always very confident in and appreciative of herself.
And she was also certain that Zhu Songning would be seduced by her like this.
Sure enough, when her coat fell to the ground, bringing up a gust of wind, Zhu Songning seemed startled, quickly lifting her head.
The skirt was already short, and now she had one foot raised on the chair, her long legs completely exposed before Zhu Songning’s eyes. As the Alpha looked up, she saw her slender calf, leading upwards to a more voluptuous curve. The dress’s zipper was half-undone, loosely hanging on her body.
Zhu Songning’s breathing involuntarily quickened a few beats.
“Help me untie it.”
Despite being the one tied up, she insisted on being in a dominant position, ordering and directing Zhu Songning.
Zhu Songning was amused by her self-righteous attitude. Her fingers worked on the knot on Shen Qingyu’s wrist, and the stubborn knot was quickly undone.
She watched as the Omega’s hand flipped over, grabbing the ribbon.
Zhu Songning simply leaned back, docilely placing her hands in front of her.
“Do you want to tie me up too…”
Zhu Songning knew she was extremely vindictive and would definitely seek revenge for any slight she suffered when the time was right.
But it didn’t matter; even if she was tied up, she could still untie herself.
Unfortunately, she had barely finished speaking when a sudden chill touched her face.
This was immediately followed by the deprivation of her vision.
Everything before her disappeared in an instant, leaving only darkness, with light faintly casting through the gaps and edges.
—Shen Qingyu used that ribbon to blindfold her eyes.
“Tie you up? That’s too boring for you.”
Shen Qingyu guided her hand to her low, half-unzipped neckline.
The ribbon, which was called cold, wasn’t actually very cold.
It carried the Omega’s body temperature and her scent.
Once vision is deprived, the other five senses become more than a little sharp.
For example, the scent swirling around Zhu Songning’s nose, and the delicate, tender skin her fingers were touching—the thin skin of her neck, under which she could clearly feel the pulsation of her blood vessels.
Sliding down, there was the prominent, sharp collarbone, and the full, swelling…
“Ningning,” Zhu Songning heard her slight panting, intimately falling by her ear, along with the exhaled hot breath, “My skin feels a little itchy. Could you scratch it for me?”
A small, warm lamp was on in the room, leaking a narrow strip of light.
The heater was on, the temperature had just risen slightly, and the warm yellow light softened the surrounding objects. The flickering lamp supported a small patch of light.
The air was silent, only the faint sound of fabric rubbing could be heard.
And the sharp, jarring sound of the zipper being pulled all the way down.
The atmosphere grew thick, with a muffled moisture swirling between them. Zhu Songning sat in the chair, leaning back, while Shen Qingyu sat on her.
Long hair cast shadows over the Alpha’s face and body, making her features seem swallowed by the night and darkness.
Zhu Songning’s nose was high, lifting the ribbon belonging to Shen Qingyu into a triangular shape. When her fingers rested on her eyelids through the ribbon, she could feel a slight fluttering.
Her other hand guided the Alpha’s hand in exploration. It was supposed to be a familiar process, but unexpectedly, due to their brief separation and Zhu Songning’s sight being blocked, it became awkward and difficult again. Compounding this, the pheromones of both were intertwining, making their movements urgent.
The jasmine tea scent was completely ignited in the air. Zhu Songning held the pristine white jasmine flower in her palm.
That jasmine flower bloomed on the windowsill, bathed in the soft moonlight outside, not ostentatiously. It was small and white, a clean white, with petals subtly layered, and a sweet scent wafted with the wind in the air.
It felt light as a feather when held between her fingers, reminding her that Shen Qingyu was also such a light person. The bud had just opened, the outer layer was a bit tight, requiring a gentle touch along the grain to feel how thin the petals were, like paper.
Zhu Songning’s nails were always clean and neatly trimmed. They had grown a little longer recently. Starting from the outermost petal, she gently pushed the edge with her fingertip, and the petal naturally curved open a little, as if cautiously probing.
The green floral scent rapidly intertwined, tirelessly taking from the jasmine fragrance, forcing the flower to open more and more, urging it to mature, just as winter urges the arrival of spring.
It was still cold in winter, the wind dry, seeming to blow into the very bones.
Outside the window, the cluster of new shoots in the corner had poked out their heads, shaking and swelling as the wind nudged them. Their color was so pale it was translucent, a tiny head emerging from the gap. The new shoot trembled, dew coalescing into beads on it, which soon collected enough to drop along the curve.
Zhu Songning’s eyes were still blindfolded, unable to see anything, but she could feel that Shen Qingyu was watching her, perhaps just as she had been doing non-stop for the past three years, quietly observing her in the places she couldn’t see.
In places she couldn’t see, her sister had once embraced her intimately with such a gaze, kissing every part of her body.
If she were to be described with a painting…
Would she be a forbidden painting locked in her sister’s box?
Always seen by those black eyes.
If Shen Qingyu could spare any attention right now, she would see that the snow-white ribbon covering Zhu Songning’s eyes was trembling at an increasing frequency, her eyelashes beneath twitching wildly.
Shen Qingyu pulled off the ribbon that had been covering her eyes.
Light immediately flooded into her eyes. Zhu Songning’s eyes were momentarily blinded by the light, squinting uncomfortably, before gradually recovering her clear vision.
It then fell into the Omega’s eyes, which had been fixed on her all along.
A hard object slipped onto her finger.
Looking down, it was a ring, solemnly placed on Zhu Songning’s ring finger, covering the original bite mark.
And on Shen Qingyu’s hand, there was an identical one.
They were matching rings.
The Omega’s kiss softly landed on her eyelid.
“I should have given it to you before. I prepared it a long time ago, but we got married so hastily, I was afraid you couldn’t accept it yet.”
Although Shen Qingyu deeply wished the meaning of this ring was restraint and commitment, keeping Zhu Songning by her side forever.
She managed to curb her inner desires.
She gave Zhu Songning the ring because she wanted to give her confidence, to make her understand that no matter what happened, she would be there for her, whether to support or to wait.
The next day, Zhu Songning went to the practice room as usual, preparing for the final performance with her teammates.
As she walked into the practice room with a bottle of yogurt, Zhu Songning was met with the burning gazes of everyone inside.
She was pleasantly surprised.
“This is…?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Luo Chuanhe pulled her aside.
“Didn’t you check Weibo this morning?”
Zhu Songning shook her head blankly.
She didn’t have the habit of immediately checking her phone after waking up, at most just checking for important messages.
Luo Chuanhe took out her own phone from her pocket and opened it to show her.
Two entertainment trending topics were visible, each followed by a massive “BOOM” character (爆).
Trending Topic 1: Shen Qingyu is married. Trending Topic 2: Deep dive into the capital behind Youth Trainee 2’s Zhu Songning.
“They’re spreading rumors that you’re royalty, sister—”
Luo Chuanhe was indignant, but saw that Zhu Songning had already quickly clicked into the first trending topic.
Luo Chuanhe: …So all her worry for Zhu Songning was in vain?
It turns out Actress Shen was more important to her after all??
The source of the first trending topic was a blogger specializing in entertainment gossip.
Gossip Sister Top V: Internal news: Actress Shen is married.
Just a short sentence, but it triggered an explosive effect.
The reason was simple: although this blogger’s tips were always just one sentence and rarely included evidence, ten out of ten times, the gossip turned out to be true.
The last time, she had reported two people who had absolutely no connection, and sure enough, the following month, reporters caught videos of them frequently entering and leaving the same apartment complex and kissing downstairs.
Gossip Sister became famous with that one battle.
[No, I really don’t want to believe it, but the one who broke the news is my Gossip Sister…] [Seriously? My Yu is capable of dating? Who could she possibly fall for?] [Don’t spread rumors, don’t believe rumors… Gossip Sister, just say it if your account was hacked.]
Gossip Sister posted this Weibo late last night, and overnight, it blew up all the night owls, quickly fermenting to the top trending topic within hours.
Zhu Songning read intently, only noticing a few people underneath insulting Shen Qingyu. Most people were actually accepting of the matter.
Especially her fans, who felt it was a happy occasion if she could find happiness.
Zhu Songning quietly reported those few abusive comments.
It’s okay. Shen Qingyu being rumored to be married isn’t a new thing. As long as she doesn’t respond, the matter will gradually fade.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard simultaneous screams from the entire practice room.
On Luo Chuanhe’s phone in her hand, a notification for a special follow popped up.
From Shen Qingyu’s Weibo.
Actress Shen Qingyu V: Married, thank you for your concern.
She attached two pictures: one of the ring on her left ring finger, and another of two marriage certificates placed side-by-side.
Zhu Songning felt the ring hanging around her neck inexplicably starting to warm up.
She had taken it off this morning and, afraid of losing it, had specifically threaded it onto a string and hung it around her neck.
In the room, some trainees with sharp eyes spotted Zhu Songning’s necklace.
“Hey, why does Actress Shen’s ring look a bit like the one Sister Zhu is wearing around her neck…”
Luo Chuanhe quickly stuffed it into her clothes.
“Haha, that’s a gift I gave her, nine yuan ninety cents with free shipping from a certain e-commerce platform.”
Zhu Songning continued scrolling down. Shen Qingyu’s Weibo post had completely exploded, and the Weibo interface lagged several times within minutes.
People underneath were enthusiastically discussing.
[Is it the director she collaborated with last time who won international awards? Didn’t she express her affection for Actress Shen before?]
Shen Qingyu replied underneath: Not her.
Seeing that Shen Qingyu was reading the comments, various speculations emerged, with diverse opinions.
[Who is it? Who managed to win over the aloof goddess of the entertainment industry (crying)]
Shen Qingyu replied: Subject error, I’m the one who won her over.
Netizens guessed wildly, and Shen Qingyu selectively responded to them.
[Did you all forget that besides being an actress, Yu-Yu is also part of the Shen family in Beicheng. Could it be a marriage alliance?]
[That makes so much sense! I really don’t know what other possibility there could be!]
Zhu Songning breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, yes, guess in this direction.
Excellent! Very smart netizens!
Zhu Songning unlocked her phone and sent a message to Shen Qingyu.
[Ningning]: Sister sister sister sister sister sister sister sister sister! Stop! [Ningning]: (Please.jpg)
Shen Qingyu must have seen her message, as she replied to Zhu Songning with one sentence—”Don’t worry.”
Actually, last night Shen Qingyu had asked her about going public.
Last night, on the bed, the Omega’s eyes were misty, as she tearfully complained about how many rumors marketing accounts had spread about her over the years.
Instead of constantly being speculated about her marital and relationship status, it would be better to proactively announce it.
Zhu Songning was nearly swayed by lust last night, almost giving in, but ultimately held firm to her bottom line, asking her to keep the fact that she was with her a secret.
However, Zhu Songning truly hadn’t expected her to act so fast, as if she had been prepared all along.
It gave little Miss Zhu the illusion that she had been tricked again.
But, Shen Qingyu should still remember her promise, right?!
Before she could fully relax, she saw Shen Qingyu post two more Weibo updates.
Actress Shen Qingyu V: It’s someone in the industry.
Actress Shen Qingyu V: Please stop guessing, the little one is not ready to go public yet (helpless shrug.jpg)
She attached a screenshot of a chat log, thoughtfully cropping out both their profile pictures and usernames.
Visible was a long string of “Sister.”
