After Marrying the Villain with Seven Personalities [Transmigration into a Book]) - Chapter 34

This was perfect—she didn’t have to go to the bathroom herself.

Xu Linqiu looked at Yi Chenqing’s expressionless, feigned coldness and felt an overwhelming sense of affection. She quickly turned around, picked up the basin, and rushed into the bathroom.

The moment she disappeared, Yi Chenqing breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

This woman is simply too insatiable, she thought. Almost every time she woke up from a dissociative episode, she would find Xu Linqiu getting intimate with her—or finding that things had already concluded, often with various strange… gadgets.

She wondered if Xu’s high libido was a blessing or a curse. At the same time, she couldn’t help but sigh at the fact that Xu only dared to be bold when she was “out of it,” yet would retreat to the bathroom in a fit of shyness once she was conscious.

A moment later, Xu Linqiu dashed back from the bathroom. Her wavy brown hair fluttered as she playfully hopped onto the bed and lay down beside her.

Yi Chenqing wrapped her small quilt tighter around herself. She saw Xu Linqiu beaming, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes curved into a captivating crescent. Xu held up an object for her to see—a bird-shaped toy in a soft pink hue, scavenged from yesterday’s box.

Like a child showing off a treasure, Xu Linqiu held it before her eyes and gently tugged at the quilt. “This is for you~”

Yi Chenqing held onto the quilt firmly. She blinked, her brow furrowing slightly in a serious manner. “I don’t like children’s toys.” Her lips were a pale pink, and her eyes held a clear, cool indifference.

Xu Linqiu pulled harder on the quilt, her gaze dropping dejectedly. “You just said you’d give yourself to me if I wanted. Now I’m giving you a gift to show my sincerity, and you’re still refusing me~”

Her crestfallen look was too pitiful to ignore; her eyes looked like they held falling stars. Yi Chenqing hesitated for a few seconds before finally letting go of the fabric.

With a forceful tug, Xu Linqiu successfully slid under the covers. With a wide sweep of her arm, she wrapped the quilt tightly around them both, drawing close.

Yi Chenqing tried to maintain a restrained distance, backing away whenever Xu moved forward, until the woman laughed and pressed the blue bird against her collarbone. “This is the first thing I’ve ever given you. Will you accept it or not?”

Xu’s eyes sparkled with hope. Yi Chenqing reached out and silently took it, only to be immediately pulled into a tight embrace.

Xu Linqiu pounced on her, forcing her to lie flat. She rubbed her cheek against Yi Chenqing’s in a pampered manner. “I missed you so much~”

We’ve been together this whole time, what is there to miss? Yi Chenqing thought.

She felt her face burning and didn’t dare move. The woman above her emitted a faint, elegant fragrance—not too strong, not too light—just like her usual gentle smile. Moreover, she was so soft, like being enveloped in a warm cloud.

This soft, vulnerable side of Xu Linqiu hit all of Yi Chenqing’s soft spots. Her heart raced, and she felt a bit dizzy, but she immediately forced herself to focus. She had to remain firm in her resolve, or she might trigger another episode.

Xu Linqiu looked up and smiled at her dazed expression. She slowly lowered her head, her breath mingling with Yi’s. She caught Yi’s soft lips, biting them gently before beginning to suck and grind against them.

This was their first complete kiss. Unlike the one by the pool, this sensation made Yi Chenqing feel as though she were suffocating. Her heart hammered against her ribs, and her entire body seemed to be screaming, I like this so much.

Xu Linqiu cupped her cheeks, the corners of her mouth turning up in a coaxing smile. “Open your mouth. Breathe~”

Only when this semi-commanding instruction reached her ears did the feeling of suffocation vanish. Simultaneously, a warm tongue slipped into her mouth, touching her and inviting her deeper.

Xu Linqiu’s kiss was deep and tender, flowing over her along with that familiar scent. She nibbled at the edges of Yi’s lips. Yi Chenqing kept her eyes open, watching Xu’s long eyelashes brush against her face. The thin layer of crimson on Xu’s skin made her breathtakingly beautiful.

Yi Chenqing was learning. So, this is how a kiss begins. Stirred by a sudden impulse, she felt a surge of desire to possess this woman…

As emotion turned into action, Xu Linqiu’s hand began to slide downward. Suddenly, she was flipped over. The confused Xu Linqiu found herself pinned beneath the woman, who began to kiss her back with newfound intensity.

Yi Chenqing learned quickly. Though her teeth occasionally bumped clumsily against Xu’s lips, Xu Linqiu responded with delight. Before long, feeling the woman above her growing weak—having been kissed into a state of total defensiveness—Xu used her legs to flip their positions once more.

Yi Chenqing was stunned for a moment, but then, with a determined gaze, she gathered all her strength and flipped Xu over again.

Xu Linqiu didn’t resist; instead, she looked at her with an amused smile. Seeing that smile, Yi Chenqing finally relaxed. This is right, she thought. This is the scene I imagined. As the CEO of the Yi Corporation, I should be the one in control.

She lowered her head and kissed the fragrant, soft lips again. Xu Linqiu closed her eyes, hooking her legs slightly and wrapping her arms around Yi’s waist. She responded meticulously along the line of Yi’s lips, tracing them with the tip of her tongue.

Under the bright incandescent light, the thin quilt fell open, revealing a section of a beautiful back with shoulders like white silk. Long, slender hands rested on Yi’s waist. After a long while, Xu suddenly patted her back.

“What’s the next step?”

Xu Linqiu’s eyes opened, suppressing a laugh as she looked at her expectantly. That look of longing made Yi Chenqing’s throat go dry.

The problem was, regardless of whether she knew how, she simply had no strength left. For some reason, the more they kissed, the more limp her body became. How was she supposed to proceed?

She squeezed the toy in her hand, pulled away from Xu’s lips, and braced herself to reply, “Just a moment…”

Unexpectedly, Xu Linqiu suddenly hugged her tightly and, with a slight exertion of force, flipped them over again. She pulled the quilt up to cover both of them, her eyes curved as she pressed her nose against Yi’s.

“You probably just woke up, so you don’t have much strength,” Xu said considerately. “It’s okay. Let me take the lead tonight.”

She reached down to touch her, then kissed her lips with lingering affection. “Of course, if you’re unwilling, I’ll wait for you after you’ve rested~”

A thin layer of shy red appeared on Yi Chenqing’s face at the touch, yet she maintained her calm facade. When Xu made a move to withdraw her hand, Yi caught her wrist.

“It’s fine. As long as you’re happy.”

Just this once…

Xu Linqiu’s lips curled up. She snatched the toy back from Yi’s hand, pulled the quilt up, and dove under the covers. The quilt became a small, moving mound.

Yi Chenqing’s ears turned blood-red. She gripped the quilt to keep it from sliding down, leaving only her head exposed. “What are you doing?”

She furrowed her brow and bit her lip, her face set in a stiff mask.

“Teaching you how to play~” came the muffled response from beneath the quilt.

The overhead light was too piercing. Yi Chenqing turned her head away, her eyes rimmed with red. She bit her lip to suppress the sounds that threatened to escape. Her breathing grew heavy. The flush on her cheeks intensified her forced air of abstinence, making the scene all the more evocative. She was filled with shame, and then, her entire body suddenly shuddered.

So… that ‘child’s toy’ was meant for…

A head popped out from under the quilt. Xu Linqiu took a few breaths, her face flushed. She leaned in to kiss Yi’s lips. “Qingqing, don’t move~” Then, she dove back in.

Yi Chenqing’s final line of defense was shattered by that coaxing smile. Her world was filled with Xu’s smiling eyes and her warm, exhaling breath. Warm lips pressed against her neck, sucking slowly. She tilted her head back, the mist in her cold, pond-like eyes finally turning into a blurred, shimmering light…

The morning sun filtered through the curtains, bathing the room in a warm glow. Two figures slept close together on the bed, the quilt having slipped below their shoulders.

The cold-faced woman stared blankly at the hand she was holding, as if studying something. Xu Linqiu’s hands were slender and fair, but there was a prominent callus on her index finger. Yi Chenqing touched the hard spot, guessing that Xu must write or draw frequently.

Come to think of it, she didn’t even know what Xu’s profession was. Did she want to enter the entertainment industry?

As she mused, the hand in hers moved. Xu Linqiu opened her sleepy eyes and smiled upon seeing her. She squeezed Yi’s fingertips and glanced at her own callus. “So, was the toy more fun, or my… hand?”

She shook her hand casually, as if asking what was for breakfast.

Last night had indeed been indulgent. The pink gadget had been discarded by its owner after they grew bored of it. Xu Linqiu had acted like a spoiled child, coaxing her, saying she wanted her one more time.

Specifically, she wanted her.

Yi Chenqing gritted her teeth. The morning light through her ears made them look fire-red—it was unclear if it was from anger or embarrassment. But in the end, it was something she had consented to.

She nodded and replied, “You.”

Hearing this, Xu Linqiu radiated joy. She reached down to hug Yi’s waist and gave her a heavy kiss on the cheek. “Also, next time, don’t hold back. It’s okay to make noise.”

Just as Yi Chenqing was about to refuse, Xu met her eyes. “I like hearing it~”

Yi’s heart skipped a beat. She looked away, sternly changing the subject. “How do you know all this? Did you have someone you liked before?”

This wasn’t like a roller coaster; she didn’t like making noise. On the contrary, she liked seeing Xu’s reactions and hearing those low, hurried breaths. But next time, she thought, I will be on top…

Xu Linqiu hadn’t expected the question. She just laughed. “I got interested after the first time, so I went and learned some sexual health knowledge and techniques.”

“The ‘first time’ was with you~”

The playful lilt in her voice made Yi Chenqing feel as though a sprout in her heart had suddenly been forced to grow, but she found the feeling quite pleasant.

Xu Linqiu wanted to ask her the same, but realized there was no point. Yi had lost her memories of the person she once loved. Though she had forgotten Xu as well, they hadn’t had much overlap growing up, so forgetting was normal.

The alarm on the nightstand went off. Xu Linqiu climbed out of bed to turn it off, then dove back under the covers to give Yi a deep, lingering kiss. “I have to go to work. Wait for me at home like a good girl.”

Yi Chenqing was dazed by the sudden kiss. She stared blankly, and once she regained her senses, she ignored the twinge of disappointment in her heart. “Why are you going to work today?” she asked. “Are you really entering the entertainment industry?”

“No, I’m just a painter,” Xu Linqiu laughed. “I’m just earning some money to pay off debts. Once the debts are gone, I’ll live off you.”

She got up, put on her pajamas, and hurried to the bathroom. “I’ll eat out!”

Yi Chenqing watched her back until she finished her hurried morning routine. Xu changed into casual clothes and rushed to the bedside to give her one last kiss. “Remember to apply the medicine. The skin broke yesterday; don’t let it get infected. Bye~”

Her lips were still damp, and her scent wafted over before she hurriedly left the house.

Yi Chenqing said nothing, slowly sitting up. She stared at the spot where the skin had broken for a long time, feeling a strange sense of irritation. She’s the one who broke the skin, yet I have to apply the medicine myself? As a CEO, she had never suffered such a grievance.

Cold-faced, she suddenly remembered Xu was participating in a variety show. She opened her phone, hoping to find entertainment news, only to see a push notification:

[New Variety Show “Elites of All Walks” Strikes Hard: The Missing Xu Linqiu Returns to Reunite with Shi Yu Heiress, Shi Ji.]

Reunite?

Yi Chenqing’s face darkened.

Sitting across from her, Yi Yanbai felt the sudden chill. She offered a strained compliment: “The eggs today are much better than yesterday’s…”

Actually, they’re even saltier!

Yi Chenqing looked over, her gaze sweeping across her sister with icy coldness. Yi Yanbai froze in fear.

What on earth happened today?
