After the Second Playthrough, the CP-Less Female Lead Kneels and Begs Me for Forgiveness [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 42.2

Meanwhile, Pei Xi held Shao Xibei with one arm and used her other hand to bring the book in front of her, flipping through its pages.

Can it actually be like this between women?

As Pei Xi read, her expression gradually became solemn.

She had to study this carefully so that in the future, she could strive to make Sister Shao feel comfortable.

Pei Xi read every page with meticulous detail. However, since the book was quite short, she finished it in no time.

She tucked the book away, having committed all its contents to memory—where the fingers should apply pressure, how much strength to use, and how to find the points that would bring Sister Shao pleasure.

Thinking about these things, Pei Xi closed her eyes. She hadn’t felt much desire while reading the book itself, but the moment her mind substituted herself and Sister Shao into the illustrations of the picture book, she flushed red from her face all the way down to her neck.

If… if Sister Shao ever struck the poses shown in those pictures, she—she would truly die of embarrassment.

An indescribable scene played out in Pei Xi’s mind, with her and Shao Xibei as the protagonists.

Fantasy was, after all, just fantasy; sudden shouts from the distance interrupted Pei Xi’s train of thought.

The voices were faint at first, but there were many of them. The sound moved from far to near, gradually getting louder.

The noise woke Si Wan and Shao Xibei.

Shao Xibei opened her eyes groggily and found herself still sitting in Pei Xi’s lap. She asked, “Pei Xi, aren’t your legs numb?”

Pei Xi stood up while holding her: “No.”

She had absolutely no intention of letting her go.

Si Wan stretched, walked slowly over to Pei Xi and the others, and rubbed her eyes. “Benefactor, I think I heard people’s voices.”

Pei Xi nodded: “There are many people. It seems they are looking for someone.”

Looking for someone? A spark went off in Si Wan’s mind. She closed her eyes and listened intently.

“Benefactor, they seem to be calling… calling for Dr. Si!!!” Si Wan was overjoyed.

Pei Xi nodded, “They are indeed calling for Dr. Si.”

Si Wan said happily: “Benefactor, it must be my lady leading people to find me.”

Si Wan immediately shouted at the top of her lungs: “Qingqing! I’m here! Qingqing, I’m here!!!”

The people on the other side seemed to hear Si Wan’s voice and began moving toward their direction.

The voices were now very clear, and flickering firelight could be seen—the light from torches.

Si Wan saw it too and shouted even louder.

“Qingqing!!! I’m here!!!”

Pei Xi watched as a tall figure holding a torch ran rapidly toward them from the distance.

Si Wan saw her too and dashed in that direction, calling out as she ran: “Qingqing!”

Pei Xi walked slowly behind Si Wan, carrying Shao Xibei.

She watched as Si Wan threw herself into the arms of the person who had come running.

The firelight illuminated the two of them. The newcomer had a gentle and beautiful appearance.

Si Wan hugged the woman’s waist, buried her head in her chest, and wailed: “Waaaah, Qingqing, I thought I’d never see you again.”

The woman called Qingqing also had bloodshot eyes. She lifted Si Wan’s face with one hand and, regardless of the others present, pressed her lips against Si Wan’s for a brief, yet dominantly possessive moment.

This was the “lady” Si Wan had been talking about.

The others gradually caught up—they were all simply dressed villagers.

Seeing the two embracing, they said happily, “Oh my, we finally found Dr. Si! Miss Qing hasn’t closed her eyes for days!!”

“Indeed, indeed. Dr. Si is a good person with heaven’s protection; she was bound to be fine.”

As the villagers chimed in, Si Wan hugged her lady for a while longer before letting go and wiping away her tears.

She ran to Pei Xi and the others and introduced them to the crowd: “By the way, they are the ones who saved me. They are my benefactors. Otherwise, I would have certainly drowned.”

Qingqing walked over and gave a solemn salute to Pei Xi and Shao Xibei: “Wanwan’s benefactor is also my, Qing Sui’s, benefactor. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. Within my power, I will do my utmost to help.”

The villagers gathered around with their torches. Noticing the way Pei Xi was holding Shao Xibei, an auntie in her forties said, “Looking at you two, I suppose you’re just like our Dr. Si and Miss Qing, eh?”

Shao Xibei coughed a few times: “Ah, no—”

The auntie waved her hand: “Hah, no need to be secretive. The people here have a very high level of acceptance, right everyone!”

The surrounding villagers agreed: “That’s right! The people of Hetou Village are the best, Hahahaha!”

Shao Xibei was amused by the enthusiastic crowd and didn’t bother to deny it anymore, only hoping that Pei Xi wouldn’t mind.

What Shao Xibei didn’t know was that Pei Xi couldn’t wait to admit it, and she wished everyone would misunderstand her relationship with Sister Shao in exactly that way.

These villagers were indeed very kind.

Si Wan coughed twice: “Alright, everyone is tired from searching for so long. Let’s head back quickly. Benefactors, please come with us.”

Pei Xi nodded, still holding Shao Xibei.

Suddenly, a “Awoo~” sound caught everyone’s attention.

Some villagers familiar with wolf howls immediately said, “It’s a wolf!”

Shao Xibei quickly said, “Don’t panic, everyone. It’s my dog. Xiao Hui, come out and let everyone see you.”

The crowd turned their gaze toward where Shao Xibei was pointing. The bushes behind her rustled, and a dark shadow lunged out.

The villagers looked—it was clearly a wolf!

Shao Xibei said, “Xiao Hui just looks a lot like a wolf. Don’t worry, he really is a dog. Xiao Hui, sit. Stand up. Turn around. Give me your paw.” Xiao Hui followed every command Shao Xibei gave.

Only then were the villagers’ doubts dispelled.

Shao Xibei said gently, “Miss Qing, would it be possible to put us and Xiao Hui up for the night?”

Qing Sui nodded: “Of course.”

And so, the large group made their way back home, chatting and laughing along the way.

Si Wan had long since fallen asleep on Qing Sui’s back.

As for Pei Xi, she never let go of Shao Xibei, her hands seemingly glued to her.

The night was very late by the time Shao Xibei and Pei Xi were settled into a guest room.

The two were to share one room. The reason Qing Sui gave was that the other guest rooms hadn’t been cleaned yet.

Shao Xibei didn’t think much of it, but Pei Xi understood.

Qing Sui had likely seen right through them.

However, she was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Pei Xi brought in hot water and said to Shao Xibei: “Sister Shao, let me wipe down your body for you.”

Shao Xibei was awake. Thinking about how much she had sweated, she agreed that she should be cleaned, so she consented to Pei Xi’s request.

But when Pei Xi’s hands trembled as she lifted Shao Xibei’s clothes, a strange sensation suddenly rose in Shao Xibei’s heart.

Shao Xibei hesitated: “Maybe… let’s not?”

Pei Xi’s hand paused. She looked at Shao Xibei, her pale pupils reflecting Shao Xibei’s face: “Is it because Pei Xi did something wrong? Have I made Sister Shao unhappy?” A sudden wave of grievance washed over her.

At least, that was how it felt to Shao Xibei.

She didn’t know how Pei Xi, having grown so much, had learned to act so spoiled without a teacher.

Perhaps because Pei Xi used to be the System, Shao Xibei found it inexplicably funny.

And she did indeed laugh out loud.

“Hahaha, I really can’t deal with you, Pei Xi.”

Pei Xi raised an eyebrow slightly: “Sister Shao, what are you saying?”

Shao Xibei: “Nothing, haha, go ahead and wipe.”

Pei Xi lowered her head and continued to undress Shao Xibei. She had been wearing these clothes for a long time.

Since Qing Sui had sent new clothes, Pei Xi thought she might as well take everything off.

But when she pulled back the collar and revealed those “snowy rabbits,” Pei Xi found she could no longer look directly at the body she had wiped many times before.

Her ears were so red they looked ready to bleed.

Her eyes darted everywhere, not daring to look straight at the soft flesh before her.

The hand lifting the clothes trembled more and more violently.

Shao Xibei narrowed her eyes slightly. Is this kid still this easily embarrassed?

She spoke up: “Little Pei Xi, hurry up. The water will get cold in a bit.”

Pei Xi’s body went stiff. She whispered, “I am being too slow.”

With that, she continued. To take all the clothes off, she had to pick Shao Xibei up.

Pei Xi closed her eyes and said, “Sister Shao, I need to pick you up, otherwise it’s hard to get these off.”

Shao Xibei laughed: “Alright.”

Having received the answer, Pei Xi tensed her body and lifted her. Her palms came into contact with soft flesh she didn’t usually touch.

The “rabbits” were pressed against her own chest. Pei Xi found that after closing her eyes, all her other senses were magnified.

Shao Xibei teased: “Little Pei Xi is so shy. You must have wiped me many times in the cave and seen me many times already. What is there to be shy about?”

Pei Xi’s heart felt like it was going to leap out. She whispered, “It’s different. It’s completely different.”

Something that used to be routine felt so incredibly embarrassing after her state of mind had changed; she didn’t dare take a second look.

Holding her, Pei Xi finally managed to get all the clothes off. She carefully placed her back down and turned around, finally opening her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, she picked up a cloth, soaked it in water, and kept her eyes strictly on the cloth in her hand, looking nowhere else.

Shao Xibei said: “Little Pei Xi, how are you going to wipe me if you look like that?”

As her body grew better, her energy levels improved as well. Usually, by this time, she would have fallen into a deep sleep, but now she had the energy to stay awake and tease Pei Xi.

Pei Xi seemed to have gone deaf. She finished the wiping quickly, grabbed the quilt from the side, and covered Shao Xibei’s body.

“Sister Shao, I need to go bathe as well. I’ll come back after I’m done. You go to sleep first.”

With that, Pei Xi dashed out the door, her footsteps pathetically panicked.

Shao Xibei burst into laughter. This “Pei Xi version” of the system was just too cute.

If it were the original System, it would definitely have been mocking her while wiping her down.

Thinking of the System, Shao Xibei felt a twinge of sadness. She missed that cold System—the System that had accompanied her through countless worlds.
