After Her Death, They Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 46

Xu Bingqi hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head: “It’s all in the past.”

“I just want to hear about your past, Sister.”

Song Guanjin was warm all over. Xu Bingqi nestled against her, gradually recovering from the shock of learning the truth.

“Actually, there’s nothing I can’t tell you.” Xu Bingqi yawned: “But let’s watch the movie first tonight, or else we’ll be up too late again.”

The cat demon had been fixated on watching the movie all along the way. Xu Bingqi simply couldn’t understand why Song Guanjin was so insistent on “watching the movie tonight.”

“Will you tell me after the movie, Sister?”

Song Guanjin gently shook Xu Bingqi’s arm, acting coquettishly.

Xu Bingqi slightly closed her eyes as waves of drowsiness washed over her. She forced herself to stay alert and hummed in agreement.

However, while watching the movie, Song Guanjin realized her exquisite acting skills were of no use.

After noticing that the sister beside her hadn’t responded for a long time, she finally mustered the courage to curl up in her sister’s embrace.

Then, the cat sensed her sister’s even and long breaths.

Song Guanjin cautiously looked up and saw her sister’s gently closed eyes. Those two rows of eyelashes, like crow feathers, cast faint shadows on her eyelids, trembling slightly with Xu Bingqi’s steady breathing.

At this moment, the screen showed only a woman in a white dress, her long hair cascading like a black waterfall, almost covering her entire body.

As a spine-chilling low hum slowly rose, Xu Bingqi’s eyelashes fluttered a few times.

Song Guanjin held her breath and quietly moved her finger to press the power-off button.

Xu Bingqi’s dark hair was spread out freely, with a few strands falling across her cheeks, unintentionally adding a touch of lazy charm to her.

Song Guanjin reached out and gently hooked Xu Bingqi’s hair, her fingertips tracing along the strands until she stopped a few centimeters away from Xu Bingqi’s face, as if afraid of disturbing this beautiful dream.

Even if Sister wakes up, she probably won’t blame me, right?

Song Guanjin mustered her courage and poked Xu Bingqi’s fair cheek with her fingertip.

Xu Bingqi’s cheek felt unexpectedly soft to the touch; Song Guanjin felt as if she were touching a freshly baked, fluffy bun.

Enchanted, Song Guanjin poked a few more times, lost in the soft, squishy sensation. Seeing no sign of Xu Bingqi waking up, she grew bolder and gently rubbed Xu Bingqi’s cheek.

If she were to start a relationship with Sister in the future, wouldn’t she be able to snuggle with her every day and touch her face anytime she wanted!

Song Guanjin’s eyes were full of longing; she felt a beautiful future beckoning to her.

“Sister, I’ll earn lots and lots of money in the future too. I’ll definitely give you a better life than what Jiang Ruo described.”

The cat demon murmured solemnly: “And since I’m a cat demon, I can transform into the pomegranate you like anytime. If you date me, Sister, you’ll not only have a wife but also a cat.”

Xu Bingqi, deep in sleep, breathed slowly and steadily, showing no signs of waking.

“If Sister doesn’t say anything, I wish I could take it as her silent agreement.”

Song Guanjin smiled slightly, her gaze shifting to Xu Bingqi’s lips, which resembled petals moistened by morning dew.

Would it be okay to steal a kiss?

Song Guanjin’s mind was a battleground for two conflicting voices.

One righteous voice earnestly advised her: You’ll become your sister’s girlfriend sooner or later, there will be plenty of chances to kiss her then. You must resist the urge now!

The other voice retorted: If you’re going to be her girlfriend eventually, what’s the difference between kissing her now or later? Consider this just exercising your future rights in advance!

Torn, Song Guanjin twisted a strand of Xu Bingqi’s hair around her finger, winding it over and over without reaching a decision.

The righteous voice persisted: You have to hold back now! Later, you can kiss her openly and proudly! If you do it now, you’ll easily get caught!

The mischievous voice scoffed: How could she possibly notice? Sister won’t find out! Besides, maybe she’ll like you even more after you kiss her!

Both arguments seemed reasonable.

After a moment’s thought, Song Guanjin decided to settle the matter fairly by taking a vote.

The righteous voice voted for “no kiss,” the mischievous one voted for “kiss,” and after a brief hesitation, Song Guanjin also cast her vote for “kiss.”

2:1. Following the principle of majority rule, the outcome was clear.

The righteous voice fumed, spitting blood in frustration: The truth lies with the minority! You must not kiss her!

But Song Guanjin’s gaze was already fixed on her sister’s lips.

After all, I’m just a cat, a simple-minded cat should follow her instincts!

Slowly, Song Guanjin leaned in, her silky hair cascading down and mingling with Xu Bingqi’s strands beside her cheek.

The cat demon closed her eyes slightly, her long lashes trembling as she brought her lips closer to Xu Bingqi’s.

The righteous voice covered its eyes in outrage.

The moment Song Guanjin’s lips touched the corner of Xu Bingqi’s mouth, her world spun wildly. A jolt of electricity seemed to surge from her lips, racing along her nerve endings until every inch of her skin tingled with sensation.

Her mind went blank, all thoughts utterly scrambled by that single kiss, leaving only boundless sweetness and dizziness.

The cat demon felt her body grow weak, her senses blurring. The ground beneath her seemed to melt away, and her legs felt as if they were treading on clouds.

So this is what kissing feels like it’s absolutely wonderful, Song Guanjin thought dizzily.

The mischievous voice complained loudly: That’s not a real kiss! You just pressed your lips against your sister’s!

Song Guanjin felt as though she were drunk, floating on a cloud, her heart overflowing with intense sweetness like a garden in full bloom.

Isn’t this what kissing is supposed to be like?

The mischievous voice urged again: Look it up! Don’t waste such a perfect opportunity!

Still dazed, Song Guanjin propped herself up, torn between carrying her sister to bed first or researching proper kissing techniques.

The righteous voice reopened its eyes and rejoined the debate: Of course, carry your sister to bed first! What if she catches a cold?

Hearing this, Song Guanjin immediately stood up and tried to lift Xu Bingqi.

She gently wrapped her arms around Xu Bingqi’s shoulders and waist, attempting to hoist her up effortlessly.

As a cat demon, she certainly had the strength for it.

So, when Xu Bingqi opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the ceiling lamp hovering just inches above her head.

And it seemed like she was moving horizontally!

Xu Bingqi’s eyes widened slightly, a ripple of surprise slowly stirring in her drowsy gaze.

She blinked, unsure if she was still dreaming.

However, Xu Bingqi soon noticed her body slowly descending, and then she saw Song Guanjin’s sparkling eyes.

And Song Guanjin’s fluffy cat ears.

Xu Bingqi’s first thought was that Song Guanjin had secretly been drinking again.

How long had she been asleep? Could Song Guanjin really not hold back?

As Song Guanjin gently set her sister down, she noticed her sister’s open eyes.

The cat demon’s hands trembled slightly, and she wore a guilty smile as she placed her sister on the bed. “Sister, you’re awake?”

The look in her sister’s eyes seemed a bit stern could she have already discovered that she had secretly kissed her?

“I didn’t do anything,” the cat demon’s eyes darted around, avoiding Xu Bingqi’s gaze. “I just saw that you were tired, so I carried you to bed. That’s all I did.”

A clear case of protesting too much.

Xu Bingqi looked at Song Guanjin’s still-twitching ears, extended her index finger, and beckoned for her to come closer.

Song Guanjin knelt by the bedside, slowly leaning forward, the blush on her cheeks spreading all the way to her ears.

It seemed she had drunk quite a bit.

Xu Bingqi gently sniffed the air around Song Guanjin but didn’t detect any scent of alcohol. She frowned in confusion.

“Have you been drinking?”

If she hadn’t been drinking, the cat probably wouldn’t have revealed her fluffy ears again, right?

Song Guanjin had braced herself for the possibility that her little secret had been exposed, but upon hearing Xu Bingqi’s question, she froze for a moment.

Drinking? Drinking what?

Why was her sister suddenly asking that?

The cat shook her head in confusion. Seeing that her expression seemed genuine, Xu Bingqi narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

If it wasn’t because of drinking, then what had caused her to accidentally reveal her cat ears?

Xu Bingqi shook her head slightly. To avoid letting the cat demon know that she was aware of her secret, she didn’t say anything more.

After all, this cat could be quite prideful at times, it was better to pretend she hadn’t noticed.

When the cat demon was ready to reveal her true identity, she would do so on her own.

“Sister, let me tuck you in first.”

Worried that Xu Bingqi might uncover the truth, Song Guanjin eagerly helped adjust the blankets.

Xu Bingqi closed her eyes gently.

Lying on the soft bed, waves of exhaustion washed over her again. She forced her eyes open. “I’m sorry, I fell asleep before finishing the movie. Let’s watch the rest together next time.”

It seemed her sister hadn’t noticed what she had done.

The cat demon breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, “You should sleep first, sister.”

Xu Bingqi closed her eyes heavily. The day had been filled with too many events, draining all her energy. Everything else would have to wait until she woke up tomorrow.

She soon fell into a deep slumber.

Then, as if struck by a thought, Song Guanjin whispered, “I’m tired too, so I’m going to sleep as well.”

She could sleep with her sister!

The cat had fully mastered the art of acting first and explaining later, carefully lying down beside Xu Bingqi.

Song Guanjin’s thoughts were all over the place today from the two of them sharing a bed and dreaming together, to dating in the future, and from dating to living together.

Once they lived together, she could sleep in the same bed with her sister every day!

For the kitten, this was the happiest thing in the world!

Song Guanjin hadn’t realized that, in her excitement, her cat ears had stealthily emerged. She lay on the bed, too thrilled to move, staring unblinkingly at her sleeping sister as she envisioned their future life together in her mind.

That is, until she remembered she had to wake up early the next day for filming!

The cat demon hastily set her alarm before quickly closing her eyes.

This was her first acting role, and she was determined to take it seriously.

Only by doing so could she earn plenty of money for herself and her sister.

The next day, Xu Bingqi was awakened by the buzzing of an alarm clock.

She only needed to submit the promotional song score a week later, so there was no need to set such an early alarm for work.

Slowly opening her eyes, Xu Bingqi noticed the kitten curled up in a ball across from her.

She had a pretty good idea whose alarm it was.

At the same time, Song Guanjin was also startled awake by the incessant buzzing of the alarm.

Opening her eyes, her emerald-green cat eyes met Xu Bingqi’s already-awake gaze.

Oh no! What should she do now?
