Bullying The Sister-In-Law - Chapter 40

Su Zhiluo didn’t particularly like comparing Liu Chengxu to some kind of small animal, but sometimes, Liu Chengxu was indeed like a puppy.

She always loved to lightly rub her face against her. If she sensed no resistance from the other person, she would take advantage and kiss her. Su Zhiluo could never resist such intimacy, and her eyelashes would flutter as she accepted it.

The temperature had dropped sharply today, and the warm air from the air conditioner couldn’t fend off the chill. Liu Chengxu pulled the down comforter to carefully wrap around both of them, then lowered her head to kiss her delicate collarbone.

Su Zhiluo clutched her shoulder. Liu Chengxu whispered, “I want to do it from behind.”

Su Zhiluo shook her head. She didn’t know if it was psychological or something else—logically, it should be similar—but she always felt this position was too stimulating.

Yet, that was exactly what Liu Chengxu liked about it. Her hand rested on Su Zhiluo’s waist, and Su Zhiluo would tense up and try to crawl forward. She especially liked holding Su Zhiluo’s calves and kissing her back.

Liu Chengxu wrapped her arms around her waist. “Aren’t you shy? This way, you won’t see me, and you can make louder sounds.”

These words were just an excuse.

Su Zhiluo was extremely embarrassed. When Liu Chengxu leaned in to kiss her again, she turned her face away and whispered, “But, every time we do it this way, you don’t listen to me, and you’ll ruin me.”

When it was a position Liu Chengxu liked, she would play for a long time. Last time, Su Zhiluo checked the time, and it was about fifty minutes. Liu Chengxu had kept up her exercise in S City, and her stamina was excellent, which Su Zhiluo couldn’t handle.

Liu Chengxu kissed her neck, her teeth gently grazing the soft skin. Su Zhiluo immediately softened. Liu Chengxu whispered, “I promise I’ll listen this time. I’ll listen to everything you say.”

Su Zhiluo’s fingers, resting on Liu Chengxu’s shoulder, tightened. She whispered, “Then be quick today.”

Liu Chengxu said, “If you’re quick, I can be quick.”

Compared to from behind, Su Zhiluo preferred grinding against her, because they were pressed close, allowing her to sense the other’s state. It wasn’t as particularly embarrassing; instead, it felt very private and tender.

Before they started, Su Zhiluo hooked her neck and kissed her, trying to ease the awkwardness. Liu Chengxu braced herself on the pillow, and when she pulled Su Zhiluo forward, her phone and bank card were accidentally flung onto the floor.

Su Zhiluo tried to reach for them, but Liu Chengxu pulled her back, pressing her against the headboard to kiss her. A few minutes later, Su Zhiluo was breathless and turned her head aside to take a breath.

Liu Chengxu called out, “Sister-in-law.”

Su Zhiluo was stimulated by the title and couldn’t help but remind her, “…Don’t call me sister-in-law when we’re doing this in the future.”

Liu Chengxu didn’t understand and asked her, “Why?”

She whispered, “I’m used to calling you that.” She then called the name twice more, each time lingering and seductive, like a man-eating enchantress.

Su Zhiluo bit her lip as the pleasure arrived.

Liu Chengxu said, “Sister-in-law, look quickly… you won’t be able to see soon.”

Liu Chengxu’s curly hair brushed against her chest, which tickled. Su Zhiluo could feel the Liu Chengxu she had raised—now mature and alluring—possessing her.

It felt like the puppy she had raised had grown up and was now consuming her.

Su Zhiluo lay prone on the pillow, arching her back. Liu Chengxu’s palm covered her buttock. Leaning close to her ear, she asked, “Fast or slow?”

Su Zhiluo was about to give out, yet she still kept asking.

Su Zhiluo said, “Fast, please.”

After that, she kept calling Liu Chengxu’s name, yelling at her, “Slower, slower.”

Su Zhiluo couldn’t take it anymore and tried to crawl forward, but there was a wall in front, so Liu Chengxu simply held her calves and pulled her back.

Liu Chengxu flipped her over again and fiercely kissed her lips, biting them until Su Zhiluo’s lips hurt.

“Relax a little,” Liu Chengxu’s breath fell near her ear.

Su Zhiluo didn’t want to be tense either, but today felt even more intense than yesterday. Liu Chengxu brushed the hair from her face and gently kissed her ear. She said, “Next time, let’s try cowgirl.”

Most of the time, they alternated, but Su Zhiluo was genuinely too tired today, and Liu Chengxu had gone twice. She fell asleep immediately after they finished. As she drifted off, Su Zhiluo thought about getting up early to help Liu Chengxu out.

When she woke up in the morning, Su Zhiluo remembered this and prepared to get up and kiss her. She opened her eyes to find Liu Chengxu wasn’t there.

Su Zhiluo put on her clothes and got out of bed. Liu Chengxu was making breakfast in the kitchen. She stood there for a moment, and Liu Chengxu turned to look at her, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Su Zhiluo smiled and shook her head, then went into the bathroom.

She just felt a bit shy and embarrassed.

In the morning, the meal was rich.

There was stir-fried snakehead fish, a few steamed sweet potatoes, and preserved egg congee, specially made because she was worried Su Zhiluo might not have an appetite for breakfast.

Liu Chengxu said, “I have to go to a client’s place today.”

Su Zhiluo asked, “Where is it?”

Liu Chengxu shared the location with her on her phone. Su Zhiluo remarked, “The location is a bit out of the way.”

Liu Chengxu: “It’s a five-hundred-square-meter villa, so that’s how it is.”

Su Zhiluo gasped. To have a villa here meant they were extremely wealthy. Liu Chengxu said, “Seventy or eighty square meters is enough for the two of us.”

“Didn’t you used to say you wanted to buy a very big house?”

“This size is big enough,” Liu Chengxu once desperately wanted to escape this place, to escape every inch of air shrouded by memories of her sister.

But this time, upon returning, she felt the bond of home. Every item Su Zhiluo had added contained her trace. She finally no longer had to flee in panic.

Originally, the two were planning to have a meal at Chang Ruyin’s house, but since Liu Chengxu had to work, they could only go after she finished.

Su Zhiluo didn’t have much to do, so she accompanied her to work. Once they arrived, she didn’t disturb Liu Chengxu but wandered around the vicinity.

The villa area was very large, and the landscaping was like a forest park. After looking around, she secretly went to see Liu Chengxu.

Liu Chengxu had her sleeves rolled up, working with a few laborers, using a spirit level, measuring data, and then pulling out her notebook to record.

Chen Qiuyi, who was with Liu Chengxu, spotted Su Zhiluo and asked her, “Who is that person?”

Liu Chengxu looked back and saw it was Su Zhiluo. Subconsciously, she wanted to say she was her sister-in-law, but the words that came out were, “My girlfriend.”

Chen Qiuyi was very surprised: “You have a girlfriend? You didn’t before, right?”

It was quite obvious whether a person had a girlfriend or not. She used to be very tense emotionally, more like someone who had been dumped.

Liu Chengxu said, “We were dating before, and we just got back together recently.”

Liu Chengxu continued scanning, preparing to make the model.

When she finished, Su Zhiluo immediately took out gloves and put them on her, touching her fingers. “They’re really cold.”

Su Zhiluo held her hands and rubbed them, then tucked her hands into her own pockets.

Liu Chengxu took the opportunity to hug her waist. “I still have to run to a few other places. Maybe you should go back; it’s cold.”

Su Zhiluo took out the food she had bought from her bag. Liu Chengxu reached out to take it, but Su Zhiluo said, “Open your mouth.”

Liu Chengxu froze.

In many situations, Su Zhiluo was very good at maintaining distance and wouldn’t perform overly intimate actions.

“I hope we can win the lottery so I can buy a car and drive you to work.” Su Zhiluo brought the food to her mouth. “Open your mouth, your hands are all red from the cold.”

Liu Chengxu felt a sting in her nose. She opened her mouth and ate.

Just then, snowflakes began to fall. She blinked, and the snowflakes melted in her eyes.

Liu Chengxu reached out to catch them and said, “It’s snowing.”

“Come, have a few more bites.”

Su Zhiluo fed her a chicken leg.

Liu Chengxu said, “It’s cold.” She reached out and hugged Su Zhiluo.

Su Zhiluo said, “I’ll come help you for the next few days. That way, we can finish faster. It hurts my heart to see you work.” She sighed.

After eating, Liu Chengxu finished the concluding work and was done.

The two slowly walked to the subway station, with snowflakes falling softly. Liu Chengxu took out a small red jewelry box from her pocket.

Su Zhiluo asked, “When did you buy this? I have one. Keep it for yourself to wear.”

Liu Chengxu placed it in her palm: “We can wear them interchangeably.”

Su Zhiluo held the box tight and put it in her pocket. After walking quite a few steps, she turned her head to look at Liu Chengxu’s hand.

Because of the habits of the past years, she was often reserved with Liu Chengxu. She turned to look at Liu Chengxu’s hand a couple of times and said, “There’s snow on your glove.”

“It’s fine,” Liu Chengxu said.

“Let me brush it off for you, so you don’t catch a cold.” Su Zhiluo said.

Liu Chengxu raised her hand. Su Zhiluo brushed off the snow, and instead of giving her hand back, she just held it.

Liu Chengxu’s heart pounded with excitement.

They were holding hands intimately like a couple, and what’s more, Su Zhiluo was the one who initiated it.

For a moment, Liu Chengxu’s mind raced with many thoughts. For example, her former desk mate loved to read novels, and she had peeked at them a few times. There was a strange phrase in there, “heart fluttering like a deer.” At the time, she had thought with a weird expression that the heart would be completely shattered; she also thought back to the first time she had stumbled into Su Zhiluo’s chest—nervous, uneasy, her breath filled with Su Zhiluo’s scent—and she felt she was doomed.

Now, her heart felt like it was being fiercely bumped by a small deer—fiery and nervous. The hand she was holding was constantly sweating.

“That’s strange,” Liu Chengxu said.

Su Zhiluo’s face was very red, and she kept her head down as she walked.

Liu Chengxu said to herself, “I’m 25 and still feel this way.”

Su Zhiluo didn’t initially understand the meaning of this sentence. After walking for three minutes, she suddenly realized it was because she had given too little love, and Liu Chengxu only felt this way at 25.

She also understood why Liu Chengxu had suddenly lost control that summer, using the most hurtful words to accuse her, even resorting to separation to punish each other.

Liu Chengxu poured all her affection onto her, yet consistently received no equal response. It was like a young beast trapped in a cage, only able to vent its helplessness by biting the bars; or like a drowning person clumsily struggling, grasping for any straw, no matter how small.

Those sharp arguments, those hurtful words, were merely the clumsiest pleas born of desperation, begging her to spare a little, even a spark of affection.

Liu Chengxu wasn’t greedy; just a little bit of love would suffice.

Su Zhiluo was struck by a sense of guilt.

She had given her a lot of familial love, but the emotions between lovers, between a couple, were scarce.

Liu Chengxu also deserved a love that belonged exclusively to her.

She squeezed Liu Chengxu’s hand a little harder.

Liu Chengxu said, “Wait a moment.”

Liu Chengxu took off her glove, then reached over to take Su Zhiluo’s hand. She held the glove in her other hand and said, “This way, I can feel it more clearly.”

Su Zhiluo pressed her palm against hers. She thought: I will treat her better from now on.

Very, very well.

Compensate for all that guilt.

Su Zhiluo looked at Liu Chengxu through the fluttering snowflakes.

Liu Chengxu seemed to sense it and turned her head: “What’s wrong?”

Su Zhiluo hastily averted her gaze, even breathing lightly.

Her heart was pounding fast, unlike anything she’d felt before. She silently scolded herself for being so weak.

This is love.

Why are you panicking, Su Zhiluo?
