Fell In Love With My Older Sister’s Friend - Chapter 15

Lin Qingyue was completely oblivious to Xu Luzhi’s aggressive gaze. She openly tidied her semi-long hair and sighed with a smile: “Grow it a bit longer, and you can tie it up.”

Xu Luzhi seized the opportunity to lean forward and subtly licked her lips: “Then, Jie-jie (Elder Sister), when it’s long, will you help me tie it?”

It will definitely be long after the summer vacation is over.

“Sure.” Lin Qingyue agreed readily, speaking lightly.

Xu Luzhi knew clearly that she hadn’t taken it to heart and was just agreeing casually. But it didn’t matter; she was already content with just such a promise.

“Jie-jie, I brought the hairdryer.” Xu Luzhi remembered the main task.

“No rush.” Lin Qingyue said leisurely, tipping her chin lightly. “Help me see which one I should wear.”

Xu Luzhi followed her gaze. Dozens of necklaces were lined up on the dressing table, ranging from pearls and gemstones to coral and agate, and even fake diamonds and crystals from a street stall. The variety was complete; whether valuable or not, they were all very beautiful.

They were of an exceptionally striking type, with unique designs that made them unforgettable at a glance.

Lin Qingyue’s fingertips passed slowly over these necklaces, appearing very undecided, completely unaware that water was dripping from her hair ends.

Drip, drop, drip, drop, it ran down her rounded shoulders, easily dampening the thin black camisole. The already light fabric, now wet over a small area, clung to her body, making her even more alluring and seductive.

Xu Luzhi had good eyesight and could almost see the moist, plump skin beneath the soaked fabric, as well as a circle of winding lace.

She felt a little like laughing, and also anxious. She’s like this, and still picking necklaces?

Lin Qingyue, however, didn’t seem to find the wet clothes uncomfortable. She continued to look at herself in the mirror, so leisurely as if the hair wasn’t hers.

Xu Luzhi took a deep breath and finally couldn’t help but shake her head resolutely: “Jie-jie, let me blow dry your hair first.”

The necklace could be chosen later. If the clothes got completely soaked, amidst the daze and passion, then everything would be too late.

After saying that, she didn’t wait for Lin Qingyue’s response, immediately turned on the hairdryer, and began awkwardly blowing her hair dry.

The buzzing sound filled the room. The hotel’s hairdryer was too heavy. Xu Luzhi’s small wrist was struggling to hold it up, so she could only keep shaking it gently, blowing from top to bottom.

She was actually very impatient with drying her own hair. In the past, her Aunt Lin would chase her to blow dry her hair, which she found annoying. Now that she was older and embarrassed, she would hastily dry her hair after every shower. Later, her parents simply installed a drying machine for her, saving them from having to fuss about such minor things.

It had been a long time since Xu Luzhi had experienced the feeling of holding a hairdryer to dry hair.

But now, as she dried Lin Qingyue’s hair, she felt no impatience at all, but rather an inexpressible joy in her heart.

Jie-jie’s hair is so long, falling all the way to her elbows. It must take a long, long time to dry.

That way, she could justifiably touch the long hair she had yearned for for so long.

Xu Luzhi’s lips curved slightly, her dimples faintly visible on her cheeks. Her fingertips lightly touched Lin Qingyue’s long hair, feeling its extreme smoothness and softness, like a piece of fine velvet silk, mesmerizing and irresistible.

Fearing that Lin Qingyue would feel hot, she only used the low, warm setting. Although it was slower, it was much more comfortable than a strong wind.

A little slower is good. She could carefully dry every corner. It would be very uncomfortable to have wet hair, and it would be even worse if she caught a cold from the air conditioning.

Xu Luzhi, whose thoughts were usually meticulous, pondered for a long time, but then saw Lin Qingyue lean back, comfortably closing her eyes.

A fair, soft hand with distinct knuckles reached out naturally, offering a comb.

Xu Luzhi took it, studying the comb for a moment. It was an ox-horn comb made of peach wood, showing obvious signs of use, clearly Lin Qingyue’s frequently used comb.

She blinked, feeling a little unhappy. With the comb, she couldn’t use her hands to touch Lin Qingyue’s hair anymore, even if she used the comb, there was still a layer separating them.

Xu Luzhi reluctantly gave Lin Qingyue’s long hair one last gentle stroke, and reluctantly switched to using the comb.

Lin Qingyue’s hair was very long and thick, but extremely smooth. It hardly needed any combing, as the strands were distinct and well-behaved, with no tangles or frizziness.

This made Xu Luzhi, who often woke up with her hair a mess, extremely envious.

While gently combing, she couldn’t help but ask, “Jie-jie, how do you take care of your hair?”

Lin Qingyue leaned on the chair back, a warm hairdryer near her head. The airflow and temperature were just right, and the young girl was volunteering to comb her hair, one stroke after another with uniform force, without any pulling pain. It was so comfortable that her seductive eyes were half-closed, and she was nearly asleep.

In a daze, hearing Xu Luzhi’s question, Lin Qingyue paused. Her somewhat slow brain pondered for a moment, and she lazily offered a conclusion: “It’s probably natural.”

Xu Luzhi: “…” Can natural beauties just casually kill a conversation like this?

Comparing oneself to others can be maddening, but looking at Lin Qingyue’s stunning beauty, she couldn’t muster any anger. Her heart was filled with soft thoughts: Yes, Jie-jie is such a creation of nature, without any artificial traces, beautiful in a completely natural way.

She made me remember her at first sight, and miss her intensely.

Xu Luzhi’s lips held an inexpressible tender smile as she meticulously helped Lin Qingyue dry her hair. She used the hairdryer slowly, little by little, not missing any corner, and combed it seriously with the comb, as carefully as if styling it.

Holding the heavy hairdryer for over ten minutes, Xu Luzhi was completely unaware of her aching wrist. Her eyes were fully focused on the long hair in front of her, occasionally glancing secretly at Lin Qingyue’s profile in the mirror. Seeing her leisurely and enjoying expression, her heart was filled with satisfaction.

She wanted Jie-jie to always be comfortable and enjoy herself when she was with her, with her long eyelashes slightly lowered and the corners of her lips curved up. This look was already so beautiful.

It made her want to give her heart away.

While Xu Luzhi was still lingering, the hair was finally dried to the point where there was nothing left to dry. Every strand was perfectly dry but not brittle, neatly combed and shiny, like a well-groomed kitten.

She turned off the hairdryer and put it aside on the table, but still couldn’t bear to move far from Lin Qingyue. She held the comb and stroked her hair casually, openly stalling for time.

She also secretly watched Lin Qingyue through the mirror’s reflection. Her beautiful, vibrant features were relaxed, her red lips slightly pursed. Could she be asleep?

The distance between the two of them was very close. Lin Qingyue was sitting, leaning against the chair back, and she was standing. When Xu Luzhi leaned down, the angle was just right, allowing her a full view of Lin Qingyue’s beauty.

If she moved down just a little bit more, she could almost touch her lips and have a small taste of the scent on Jie-jie’s body.

Xu Luzhi couldn’t help but smack her lips. Her nose was filled with Lin Qingyue’s sweet scent, faint and elusive, yet omnipresent. Even if she tried not to think about it, it still filled her entire being.

It was almost a blatant seduction.

An impulse surged in Xu Luzhi’s heart. She wanted to find an excuse to lean in and taste what Lin Qingyue’s pomegranate red lips tasted like. Was it as fragrant and sweet as the red wine she secretly drank yesterday, intoxicating?

She was still a child, after all, with a very high sense of morality. This unethical thought swirled in Xu Luzhi’s mind several times, at one point gaining the upper hand, but ultimately, she firmly suppressed it at the thought level.

She licked her lips reluctantly. Her flower-petal-like lips became a little more moist. Her appearance, looking on and lamenting, was like a big bad wolf enduring the pain of letting the sheep go. She could only comfort herself in her heart, there’s always tomorrow.

She must take it one step at a time, and it will be even more delicious when she enjoys it later.

Xu Luzhi had always been good at enduring temptation. Even when she was very young, she knew how to hide snacks and eat them slowly. Although she would drool when her little friends were stuffing their faces, she could enjoy hers in small, delicate bites once they were all done.

In matters of affection, she was also naturally adept.

Just as Xu Luzhi dismissed her excessive thoughts and straightened up, Lin Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes at the perfect moment. Her peach blossom eyes were deep and clear, looking over with a knowing smile.

Xu Luzhi instantly felt that all her little schemes were completely exposed to Lin Qingyue. She was shy after all, and her ear tips turned red unconsciously, afraid that Lin Qingyue would ask more questions.

Although she was confident she could handle whatever she was asked, she didn’t want her current feelings to be known to the other party yet.

She would rather Lin Qingyue thought she was just fond of her, and not… that kind of fondness.

Before Lin Qingyue could say anything, Xu Luzhi, feeling guilty, proactively asked, “Jie-jie, do you want to tie up your hair?”

Lin Qingyue seemed to have just woken up. She yawned lazily, reached out to touch her long hair which was now dry and neat, and answered casually, “Whatever.”

Leaving it down felt hot, and tying it up was troublesome. Either way was fine.

Xu Luzhi had a bit of a headache. Jie-jie is too easygoing. This is ‘whatever,’ and that is ‘whatever.’ How am I supposed to guess what Jie-jie is thinking?

Lin Qingyue suddenly chuckled softly: “Why, are you going to tie my hair for me?”

Xu Luzhi originally didn’t intend to. She knew her hair-tying skills were a mess, and compared to Lin Qingyue’s, it would be clumsy. But hearing the implied doubt in the other person’s tone, she felt a burst of competitive defiance.

She never tolerated being inferior, especially when denied. She would prove herself not to be incapable, even if it took all her might.

Fine, since Jie-jie keeps saying “whatever,” then she should be a bit more assertive and take matters into her own hands.

Xu Luzhi made up her mind and said with a spirited voice, “Mmm!”

The girl’s voice was clear and playful. It was meant to sound fierce, but when spoken, it was sweet and charming, like being gently scratched by a kitten’s paw.

Completely non-threatening, it made the heart tingle.

Lin Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and couldn’t help but say, “Zhizhi, you are quite cute.”

Xu Luzhi: “?”

She was clearly fierce and very opinionated, how was she cute!
