Fell In Love With My Older Sister’s Friend - Chapter 26
Xu Luzhi’s mind was full of sweet thoughts, but she couldn’t fight her physiological instinct as soon as she finished eating, she felt sleepy.
Lin Qingyue had just thrown the trash outside the door when she saw the young girl’s eyelids drooping, her head nodding like a little chick pecking at grain.
She couldn’t resist the urge to tease her. She quietly moved behind Xu Luzhi, stared at the girl’s soft hair for a while, bent down, and couldn’t help but gently blow a breath of cool air onto her neck.
Xu Luzhi was in a daze between sleep and wakefulness, hazily imagining the scene of her sister’s delicate tongue tracing paths on her body. In her distracted state, her nape suddenly felt a chill, and she couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
When she realized it was Lin Qingyue playing a prank, she couldn’t help but softly complain, “Sister”
She had intended to sound fierce, but due to her drowsiness, the words that came out were soft and weak, as soft as a cloud, murmuring, “You’re bullying me again…”
Lin Qingyue smiled behind her, “Mm, I only bully little kids. So what?”
She sounded completely self-righteous.
“Sister is so mean.” Xu Luzhi pouted. She wanted to say more, but fatigue restrained her vocal cords. After careful consideration, she finally chose to climb onto Lin Qingyue’s bed.
She kicked off her shoes, slipped like a slick little fish into the rumpled covers, pulled the thin blanket securely up to her chin, and smiled slyly, “Good night, Sister.”
Xu Luzhi had originally wanted to say, “Hmph, you dare bully me, I’m taking your bed, so you have nowhere to sleep.”
But she was too tired to speak, so she sent the thought with her mind instead, then closed her eyelids and fell into a deep sleep as if relieved of a great burden.
The hotel bed was large and soft. Although not as good as her princess bed at home, it was still quite nice. The pillow and the bedding still retained Lin Qingyue’s unique sweet fragrance, which was the perfect sleep aid for Xu Luzhi.
Lin Qingyue was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, she watched the little girl slip onto the bed in a flash, pull up the covers, and immediately become quiet.
She hesitated for a moment, knelt on one knee by the edge of the bed, and leaned down to look.
Xu Luzhi lay quietly in the covers, the blanket pulled neatly up to her chin. Her long lashes rested on her lower eyelids, her small nose twitched slightly, and her lips were tightly pressed together.
She looked well behaved and quiet, like an exquisite doll.
Lin Qingyue held her palm in front of her face, feeling only the slight, almost inaudible sound of her breath.
Lin Qingyue chuckled; she had really fallen asleep.
After all, she was just a child, still growing, getting tired easily every day, sleeping right after eating.
Looking at Xu Luzhi’s carefree sleeping face, Lin Qingyue suddenly felt very sleepy herself.
Even though it was only two or three hours until she was supposed to get up, sleeping seemed contagious. She yawned, hesitated for two seconds, got up, and pulled the curtains shut.
With a swish, the floor to ceiling window was covered again, and the entire room plunged into darkness, perfectly suitable for sleep.
However, there was only one two-meter-wide bed in the room.
Lin Qingyue’s eyelids drooped lazily. Without looking, she could clearly discern the location of the little girl sleeping on the bed.
Xu Luzhi slept well, occupying only a small portion of the large bed, behaving perfectly, not moving around randomly.
In the darkness, Lin Qingyue curved her lips silently. Sharing the bed should not be a problem, right?
After all, she was really sleepy.
Without much hesitation, Lin Qingyue quickly made her way to the other end of the bed. Her outer garment lightly fell onto the sofa, her shoulders and lower abdomen glowing stark white.
She swung her long legs up and silently climbed onto the edge of the bed on the opposite side. Her long hair spread out over the headboard, and Lin Qingyue gathered it casually.
In the far corner, farthest from Xu Luzhi, the woman closed her eyes peacefully and sighed contentedly.
Then Lin Qingyue noticed something was wrong. By the time she reacted, she realized she was bare, without a blanket.
Although she wasn’t afraid of the cold, and even with a blanket, she would only cover her lower abdomen, a blanket was something one shouldn’t be without, even if one didn’t use it.
Lin Qingyue reached down to explore. Her body temperature was already low, and the room’s air conditioning was set coolly, making her exposed legs feel as cold as ice.
She blinked her eyes and struggled to make out in the darkness that all the blankets were tightly wrapped around Xu Luzhi.
The little girl seemed afraid of the heat, but turned out to be surprisingly well-behaved while sleeping, wrapping herself in the blankets like a cocoon, secure and immovable.
Lin Qingyue tugged at a corner of the exposed blanket and tested it; it wouldn’t budge.
Xu Luzhi seemed to be putting her entire body weight on this blanket, hugging it as if it were a treasure, not allowing anyone to move it.
Lin Qingyue was amused despite herself. So young, yet quite possessive, unwilling to let go of what she considered hers, regardless of who was in the right.
Forget it, not having a blanket wasn’t the end of the world.
Lin Qingyue picked up her outer garment and draped it over herself, then closed her eyes to lie down. After tossing and turning for a few minutes, she finally confirmed a fact:
One cannot sleep well without a blanket when lying down.
Especially when the little girl beside her was sleeping soundly, even emitting small, contented noises like a little animal, which was particularly noticeable.
Lin Qingyue hadn’t cared much about the blanket initially, but looking at Xu Luzhi sleeping, she suddenly wanted it very much.
The thin hotel blanket, which she had previously ignored, now seemed like some kind of strategic resource that made her eyes burn and her face flush.
It wouldn’t do to ask the front desk for another one; it had to be the one Xu Luzhi was using.
It seemed that covering herself with this blanket guaranteed a sweet sleep.
Lin Qingyue unconsciously equated the two. After thinking for a while, she unceremoniously turned the air conditioner up by a full eight degrees.
In the scorching summer noon of Lincheng, a thirty degree cold air blast from the AC.
It sounded almost insane.
Lin Qingyue waited patiently. After a few minutes, the temperature in the whole room quickly rose. The central air conditioning tirelessly expelled air that felt warm against her face.
Already feeling hot, she now felt completely feverish.
Lin Qingyue’s peach blossom eyes darkened as she stared at Xu Luzhi. The little girl, wrapped like a cocoon, seemed completely unaware, still sleeping soundly, only her cheeks slightly flushed with a pretty red.
Lin Qingyue couldn’t resist reaching out to poke her. A shallow dimple popped out and quickly vanished without a trace.
Such was the age full of collagen.
As if sensing something, Xu Luzhi frowned slightly and made an unconscious little sound. Her small body twisted, loosening the blanket slightly.
Lin Qingyue saw the opportunity and took the chance to gently pull a corner of the blanket outward.
Xu Luzhi seemed to feel hot in her dream too. She reached out a hand to push the blanket away. With action and reaction, in half a minute, Lin Qingyue had managed to snatch half the blanket.
She pulled the blanket into her embrace and raised her eyebrows triumphantly, as if she had captured some spoils of war.
Staring at the restless little sleeper, she couldn’t help but extend a finger and gently tap her forehead.
This touch seemed to trigger something. Xu Luzhi felt even hotter and, with her eyes closed, reached her hand down, grabbing the hem of her dress.
Lin Qingyue watched in confusion. After a while, she realized: she felt too hot and was about to take off her clothes!
The girl was only wearing a thin dress, which was already light enough that the color of her underwear could be vaguely seen. If she took it off now, wouldn’t that be…
Lin Qingyue couldn’t accept sleeping with a naked girl for the time being. She made a swift decision, gave up the hard won piece of the blanket, and instead grabbed Xu Luzhi’s restless little hands, stopping her before she could reveal her underpants.
However, Lin Qingyue’s eyesight was too good, and the girl was too quick, so in a fleeting glance, she clearly saw a corner.
Strawberry floral pattern… quite cute.
The cotton material seemed a bit sheer, faintly revealing her fair skin.
Lin Qingyue quickly averted her gaze, afraid of seeing anything more she shouldn’t. She then gathered Xu Luzhi’s two little paws together and quickly pulled the hem of her skirt back down with her other hand.
Perhaps because it was too hot, her fingertips picked up a faint trace of moisture.
Lin Qingyue didn’t mind. She let out a long sigh at the restless little girl, feeling a bit helpless about what to do with her.
She resignedly turned the air conditioner back down to twenty-two degrees. Then she stared at Xu Luzhi for a while, making sure the slightly red cheeks had faded back to their original fair color before letting go of Xu Luzhi’s wrist and confidently reclaiming the corner of the blanket.
The next second, the girl’s eyes snapped open, shining like a little leopard’s in the dark. Just for an instant, they closed again as she resumed the appearance of being sound asleep.
As if unwilling to let the blanket be taken away, a pair of nimble little hands reached forward and easily pulled the corner of the blanket back.
Immediately following this was a sudden change that Lin Qingyue had not anticipated. She momentarily lost her balance and was pulled down onto the bed.
She fell unexpectedly into the young girl’s soft and fragrant embrace, tightly locked in Xu Luzhi’s arms, unable to move.
Perhaps the darkness made one bolder. Xu Luzhi kept her eyes tightly shut, cautiously feeling the weight of Lin Qingyue, experiencing the softness and warmth pressing down on her.
Damn, why is Sister so light, like a feather? I wish Sister would press down on me hard.
A smile touched Xu Luzhi’s lips. While cursing her own perverseness, she felt boundless happiness.
She was indeed asleep, but she could also sense that Lin Qingyue had grasped her hand, and her fingertips had inadvertently brushed against her underpants.
So embarrassing, Xu Luzhi thought. Smelling Lin Qingyue’s scent, her dreams were all about her sister.
So, she had already completely lost the battle.
If Lin Qingyue saw her, what would her expression be? Would she be disgusted and think she was too bad?
It doesn’t matter, Zhizhi won’t let her find out.
Her intentions toward her sister were just a little secret.
Only in this dark environment could she dare to hold Sister for a short while. Her most outrageous move was only when Sister tried to struggle, her fingertip merely brushed against her backbones.
Zhizhi is not a bad person, how could she do bad things?
Xu Luzhi thought righteously, and when Lin Qingyue tried to get up for the third time, she let go of her hand.
Her two arms fell loosely onto the bed with a soft thud. The girl’s expression was calm, her breathing even, as if this was an unconscious action during deep sleep.
Only the faint fragrance of Xu Luzhi lingering near her nose constantly reminded Lin Qingyue that she had truly been held just now.
Moreover, she had been firmly locked in the embrace, as if possessed.
Strangely, she didn’t strongly reject this feeling; instead, she found it… quite comfortable.
Xu Luzhi smelled nice, her body soft and clean, her slender arms gentle yet strong, holding her, giving her an inexplicable sense of warmth and security.
Lin Qingyue immediately dismissed this thought, forbidding herself from thinking further.
How could I think so many inappropriate things about a child?
She did not see the faint, almost imperceptible smile on the corner of the girl’s lips as she turned to continue sleeping soundly.
In any case, it seemed Xu Luzhi was tired from the tossing and turning in her dream, and finally nestled obediently while hugging a small portion of the blanket and continued to sleep sweetly, generously sharing the larger half with Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue let out a sigh of relief, pulled some of the blanket over herself, and finally closed her eyes in satisfaction.
However, the soft embrace of the young girl from just now suddenly flashed in her mind: hardly developed, tender like a bamboo shoot, yet not prickly at all, exquisitely cute, pressed tightly against her.
Lin Qingyue quickly banished this absurd thought from her mind. She slightly curved her lips, trying her best to ignore the soft breathing beside her, yet her thoughts were still scattered like willow catkins in April.
Unsure how long she had dozed, Xu Luzhi let out a soft yawn, and her round eyes opened in the dark, shining brightly like a little leopard’s.
She turned her head and saw the woman sleeping by the edge of the bed, her arm stretched out loosely, her hair a messy waterfall. The thin fabric on her body concealed little, and just that much, visible in the faint light, was clearly visible to Xu Luzhi.
Xu Luzhi swallowed. Her energy was replenished, and her mind was clearer. She immediately assessed the current situation: Lin Qingyue was still sleeping.
She and Lin Qingyue were about half a meter apart, sharing the same bed.
This distance made Xu Luzhi wrinkle her nose slightly; she was a bit dissatisfied.
Was the hotel bed so big just to keep two people apart?
She licked her lips. Was it meant to make it easy to roll around?
Therefore, it should be normal for her to move closer to Lin Qingyue to sleep, right?
Xu Luzhi easily convinced herself. Looking in Lin Qingyue’s direction, she cautiously, little by little, crept closer.
Like a struggling young cub, tempted by the fragrant, juicy red fruit ahead, she kept moving forward, all the while worrying about being discovered by the hunter.
The hotel bed was very soft; one careless move could cause a small earthquake. Xu Luzhi gritted her teeth; the short distance of a few dozen centimeters felt like vast oceans and mountains.
Her forehead beaded with sweat. Finally, she painstakingly moved a few dozen centimeters toward Lin Qingyue.
Xu Luzhi held her breath, staring at the sleeping woman for a moment. She carefully traced the shape of her lips in her mind, and finally, inch by inch, she crept close enough to be within the reach of her arm, finding a spot not too far, not too near, and lay down.
Then she closed her eyes again, her sleeping posture serene, like a well-behaved child taking an afternoon nap.
However, this little child was now lying within the curve of Lin Qingyue’s arm, and as long as she retracted her hand, she could easily be enveloped in a hug.
Hugging someone right after waking up from a nap must be a very happy thing, right?
Xu Luzhi thought with longing. She knew Lin Qingyue didn’t mind physical contact with her.
Even if she woke up and saw it, she would just assume it was a coincidence.
Zhizhi is so bad, taking advantage of Sister’s sympathy to eat her up little by little.
