Did the Tsundere Miss Get Slapped in the Face Again Today? - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: “Do You Want to Try?”

 

Jiang Yi’s original intention was just to scare her, but after the action was completed, the distance between the two of them was too close.

 

So close that their breathing seemed to be intertwined.

 

Her nose was filled with the clear scent of peach body wash—Lin Anran’s scent, expensive, arrogant, and heart-stirring.

 

Jiang Yi’s irregular heartbeat was causing trouble again, burning away her rationality.

 

She had to admit, she was somewhat impulsive. Pulling her back onto the bed and holding her, saying ambiguous words—this behavior hadn’t been consciously thought through; she just did it instinctively.

 

She didn’t even want to just hold her; she wanted to go a step further.

 

How much further? Jiang Yi vaguely had an answer in her heart.

 

Rationality and impulse were constantly clashing, like two little figures fighting. One said yes, the other said no.

 

Before the two figures could determine a winner, the person encircled in her arms moved first.

 

Lin Anran actively leaned in.

 

Jiang Yi held her breath. The surroundings seemed to be muted, and all she could hear was the frantic pounding of her own heart.

 

Is Lin Anran going to kiss me? This was the last thought in her mind.

 

Time seemed to slow down tenfold.

 

She watched her slowly approach, watched her lips gradually draw closer.

 

However, the landing spot of her lips seemed to deviate, shifting down slightly, missing the intended target.

 

Ouch. She bit her on the chin.

 

“Hiss.”

 

Jiang Yi gasped in pain. Her sluggish mind and wildly beating heart were all jolted awake by the pain.

 

Jiang Yi could even feel the teeth sinking into her skin. It was a hard bite, not ambiguous or flirtatious, just a pure bite.

 

After biting, she smugly raised an eyebrow at her, then kicked her, rolled off the bed, put on her shoes, and left.

 

Jiang Yi sat up, looked at the doorway where Lin Anran had left, and touched the spot where she was bitten on her chin.

 

The pain lingered, and predictably, it had drawn blood.

 

Lin Anran really didn’t know her own strength when she bit people. This was already the umpteenth time she had bitten her.

 

One time on the back of her hand, one time on her arm, and now her chin. She was like a cat, fully exhibiting the habit of biting.

 

Jiang Yi felt like she should get a rabies shot, with bites everywhere.

 

Coming out of the room, she immediately saw the person sitting on the sofa, leisurely crossing her legs and playing with her phone.

 

Biting someone and then running out to play on her phone…

 

Jiang Yi couldn’t even scold her. What could she hold against this young miss? It was pointless to argue.

 

Shaking her head and sighing, she headed straight for the bathroom. Standing in front of the sink, she tilted her chin and looked in the mirror.

 

The skin was broken, and a little blood had appeared. It wasn’t deep or serious, and a scab had already formed without needing treatment.

 

The bite mark was very obvious, somewhat resembling a mark of intimacy after passion.

 

Jiang Yi raised her hand, caressing the bite mark, her eyes filled with dark, turbulent emotion.

 

She turned on the faucet, cupped her hands, and splashed water onto her face.

 

The cold water wet her temples and gradually calmed her mood.

 

She shook her head, suppressing certain thoughts.

 

Jiang Yi started worrying about how she was going to go out with this bite mark. She also worried that if Lin Anran continued to live here, would she completely lose control of her “animalistic nature”?

 

She really didn’t want to use that term to describe herself, but just now, when she pulled Lin Anran back into bed and held her, she really did feel like an irrational beast.

 

If Lin Anran hadn’t suddenly bitten her, waking her up with pain, she truly didn’t know what she might have done.

 

Jiang Yi felt like she was a stranger to herself at that moment. Her sluggish mind seemed to have lost its self-control.

 

Lin Anran had no friends. Her living environment and personality made it difficult for her to interact with many people. It was normal for her not to grasp the boundaries of friendship.

 

She might not grasp them, but should she not grasp them either?

 

The recent behavior clearly crossed the line. Not only did the behavior cross the line, but her mentality had too.

 

Previously, when Xiao Man teased her and showed “shipping” expressions, Jiang Yi could always firmly reply that it was pure friendship. Now… she seemed to lack the confidence to call it pure friendship anymore.

 

At the very least, she had developed impure intentions toward Lin Anran, this friend of hers. It wasn’t just now; she still hadn’t forgotten the time Lin Anran’s towel accidentally fell off.

 

Should I find an opportunity to persuade Lin Anran to move out and maintain some distance for now? After all, I seem to be a dangerous person…

 

Jiang Yi looked up at the person in the mirror, staring at the bite mark on her chin, her emotions complex and hard to describe.

 

While Jiang Yi’s mind was a complex mess in the bathroom, Lin Anran, sitting on the sofa outside playing with her phone, was typing rapidly.

 

Emotional Expert No. 2: With that kind of atmosphere, why did you bite her? You should have kissed her!

 

Lin Anran: I just wanted to bite her. Anyway, the biting is done. You spoke too late. That move failed. What’s the next move?

 

Watch a horror movie together.

 

I don’t like watching those things. No, next move.

 

Who said you had to like watching it? The point is that watching horror movies increases physical interaction. You can hug her when you’re scared, and your relationship will naturally heat up.

 

Lin Anran frowned in contemplation, her eyes darting around. Finally, her gaze landed on the bathroom door.

 

She walked over and kicked the door twice with a “bang, bang.”

 

“Jiang Yi, hurry up and come out. Stop dawdling in there. I want to watch a horror movie. Come watch it with me.”

 

There was no subtle preamble whatsoever; she just bluntly demanded to watch a horror movie.

 

Jiang Yi emerged from the bathroom.

 

Lin Anran: “Go, turn on the projector. Go pick a truly scary horror movie and watch it with me.”

 

Jiang Yi: “In the early morning, you want to watch a horror movie?”

 

Lin Anran looked displeased: “Why are you so long-winded? I am your superior. Your job today is to watch a horror movie with me. Don’t question it. Just execute.”

 

She was pulling the boss card again.

 

Lin Anran meant what she said. If she said she wanted to watch a horror movie, she had to watch it. Since Jiang Yi couldn’t win against her stubbornness, she had to follow instructions.

 

Jiang Yi wasn’t afraid of watching such things, but given Lin Anran’s timid nature, being scared even when alone at home, she definitely couldn’t handle these movies. Jiang Yi wondered why she had the sudden urge to watch one.

 

Afraid of scaring the young miss, Jiang Yi deliberately chose a horror love story. Although it was a horror film, the main theme was love, and overall, it shouldn’t be too scary.

 

Jiang Yi hadn’t seen it either, but the comments section said it wasn’t scary, so she felt safe putting it on for Lin Anran.

 

She connected the projector, drew the curtains, and sat side-by-side with Lin Anran on the sofa.

 

Before the main feature even started, Lin Anran’s expression began to tense up, her small fists clenched tightly.

 

Jiang Yi’s attention wasn’t on the movie; she was observing Lin Anran’s small actions and couldn’t help but want to laugh.

 

What is she doing? She’s clearly terrified, yet she insists on watching.

 

“How about we don’t watch it?” Jiang Yi suggested.

 

“Don’t talk nonsense! I want to watch it!” She was extremely stubborn, even while clutching her small fists in fear.

 

Jiang Yi thoughtfully offered a way out, volunteering: “But I’m scared. How about we stop watching? I’m too afraid.”

 

Lin Anran hesitated.

 

Just as Jiang Yi thought she had persuaded her, Lin Anran said: “If you’re scared, then we must watch it even more.”

 

Jiang Yi smiled helplessly. Why won’t she take the hint? Does she really have to watch it?

 

She indeed had to watch it, because Emotional Expert No. 2 said that watching a horror movie together could heat up the relationship.

 

She had to carry it out.

 

Lin Anran nervously stared at the projector, her whole body tense. She had never watched a horror movie before, or accurately, she had never dared to watch one.

 

Ten minutes passed.

 

Lin Anran looked confused. Is this supposed to be a horror movie? It’s not scary at all.

 

Lin Anran turned her head to look at the person beside her: “Aren’t you scared? Why are you so calm?”

 

According to Emotional Expert No. 2, Jiang Yi should be scared and hug her, thereby achieving the goal of heating up the relationship.

 

But Jiang Yi wasn’t scared and showed no intention of hugging her.

 

Jiang Yi was perfunctory: “I am scared. Very scared.”

 

Lin Anran saw through her lack of conviction, cursed under her breath for a few moments, and then thought that Jiang Yi would probably get scared later and hug her, so she decided to wait a little longer.

 

The impatient Lin Anran patiently waited.

 

She waited and waited and waited, but nothing happened.

 

Instead, the atmosphere between the two main characters in the movie gradually became intimate. The camera zoomed in, and the two protagonists kissed.

 

Lips and tongues intertwined, passionate as fire.

 

Lin Anran’s expression froze. She unconsciously stole a glance at Jiang Yi.

 

Jiang Yi’s expression was somewhat unnatural. She instinctively looked at the person next to her, precisely colliding with Lin Anran’s investigative gaze.

 

Their eyes met briefly, then quickly separated.

 

This so-called horror movie had very few horror elements, but the two protagonists couldn’t stop kissing. Moreover, it was a French kiss, extremely intense.

 

The sound of “smacking” water from the kissing in the movie echoed in their ears, inevitably making them blush.

 

Lin Anran cleared her throat, touched her nose, fiddled with her hair, and secretly looked at Jiang Yi again, making many small movements.

 

Jiang Yi wasn’t doing much better than her. Her expression became increasingly unnatural, and she was restless. Time dragged on.

 

How much longer are they going to kiss? Are they just trying to pad the running time? Is it really necessary for the kissing scene to last this long? Jiang Yi couldn’t help but complain internally.

 

Finally, the two protagonists in the movie separated, and the sensual kissing sounds abruptly ceased.

 

Jiang Yi silently let out a breath of relief.

 

“What does kissing feel like?” Lin Anran suddenly asked.

 

Jiang Yi’s recently released breath immediately caught in her throat again: “Huh? Kissing? That thing… it shouldn’t feel too special, right? Just lips touching lips. The way they act in movies might be a bit exaggerated, adding a bit of artistic flair.”

 

Lin Anran turned her head to look at her: “Haven’t you ever kissed someone?”

 

Jiang Yi paused, awkwardly laughing twice: “It might seem a bit odd that I haven’t kissed anyone at my age, huh?”

 

Lin Anran tilted her head: “Odd? Not really. You’re only two years older than me, and I haven’t kissed anyone either.”

 

Jiang Yi didn’t know how to respond. Why did the conversation suddenly shift to this topic…?

 

Unable to respond, she could only make awkward small talk: “Hahaha, it’s okay, it’s not weird. We just haven’t met the right person yet. Once we do and start dating, we’ll definitely get the chance to experience these things. No need to rush.”

 

Wait, what on earth am I even saying?

 

Jiang Yi felt completely flustered.

 

Just then, Lin Anran propped herself up with one hand on the sofa and suddenly leaned closer.

 

Jiang Yi’s expression froze. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Anran’s hand reached out, her thumb pressing against Jiang Yi’s lips.

 

“Is the feeling of lips touching lips the same as lips touching a finger?” she asked.

 

The warm fingertip rested on her lip, slowly rubbing.

 

Lin Anran’s question was evocative, even carrying a hint of faint seduction, yet her eyes were utterly pure, innocent, and clean.

 

It was as if she performed this action and asked this question purely out of curiosity.

 

“Jiang Yi, do you want to try?”

 

Lin Anran rarely called her by her full name, Jiang Yi, but now she did. Her expression was both nonchalant and serious, both suggestive and pure.

 

Jiang Yi’s eyes deepened. She grabbed the hand pressing against her lips.
