Fell In Love With My Older Sister’s Friend - Chapter 83

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyue was a step ahead of her. Seeing the young girl’s enchanting beauty, the buttons of her shirt were undone down to her chest, half slipping off, revealing a milky white shoulder. Her collarbone was delicate and deeply sunken. Looking further down revealed a expanse of snowy skin that was scorching to look at.

Xu Luzhi’s own face turned red, and she lowered her head feeling embarrassed. Lin Qingyue, however, stood there calmly, gazing with a smile, and even taunted her: “You want me to look that much, little one?”

The woman’s low voice brushed past Xu Luzhi’s cheek, her body exuding a rich fragrance, like orchid and musk. Unable to bear Lin Qingyue’s interested gaze from her captivating eyes, Xu Luzhi awkwardly said, “It’s the older sister who shouldn’t look where it’s improper.”

She… she didn’t deliberately want Lin Qingyue to look.

“Oh, is that so?” Lin Qingyue covered her mouth and chuckled softly. The pleasant sound made Xu Luzhi’s heart flutter like a trapped deer. Fortunately, she obediently turned around, no longer watching Xu Luzhi’s performance.

Only then did Xu Luzhi breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease, but also a little regretful.

Actually, she quite wanted her older sister to see she wanted her to see with her own eyes that she had grown up, that she wasn’t small anymore.

She didn’t notice that Lin Qingyue’s earlobes had reddened slightly. Such a degree of teasing shouldn’t have affected her, but after saying it, Lin Qingyue herself felt a bit shy.

Perhaps it was because, without knowing when, she had stopped seeing Xu Luzhi as purely a child, but unconsciously harbored some feelings of attraction between women towards her.

Perhaps from the very beginning, she had already been captured by the young girl’s little tricks.

That’s why it felt like a fish in a net seemingly free, floating and sinking with the current, yet clearly knowing that when it was caught depended entirely on the angler’s mood.

But she couldn’t escape, nor did she want to escape. She even enjoyed being teased like this by the person on the shore, willingly so.

This made Lin Qingyue feel ashamed, yet genuinely pleased from the bottom of her heart.

To try and hold someone dear to one’s heart, this must be that kind of bittersweet feeling.

Like eating an iced bayberry in the scorching summer, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

Xu Luzhi took a long time getting dressed. Lin Qingyue grew impatient waiting and called out, “Are you done?”

Then she heard the young girl whine, pouting and acting spoiled, “Sister, as soon as I fasten it, the back button comes undone. I’ve tried so many times, what should I do?”

Lin Qingyue was caught between laughter and tears, “You’re so much younger than me, of course it’s going to be loose.”

Xu Luzhi pouted, looking as if she had been bullied, and complained aggrievedly, “I don’t care, it’s doing it on purpose!”

Lin Qingyue chuckled softly and said gently, “Then shall I go help you hit it?”

Xu Luzhi’s eyes lit up, and blushing, she coyly said, “Then Sister, come and help me!”

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes resting obediently on her lower lids, waiting silently for Lin Qingyue’s approach.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and her senses became infinitely sharp in the darkness. Lin Qingyue’s cat like footsteps fell close to her ear, clearly audible.

Then came slender fingertips, nails slightly hard and cool, gently touching her back.

Xu Luzhi involuntarily let out a small gasp (“hiss”).

The woman behind her asked, “Did I scratch you?”

Xu Luzhi quickly shook her head, trying her utmost to calm her breathing, fully immersing herself in that moment.

She imagined Lin Qingyue’s black nails lightly scraping across her back, leaving behind red scratches—perhaps from pain, perhaps from pleasure and she trembled with excitement all over.

As if possessed, Xu Luzhi’s body shook slightly. Lin Qingyue couldn’t stop in time and scratched a line on the girl’s fair and tender back, leaving a striking, not too large red mark.

But Xu Luzhi seemed quite comfortable, letting out a muffled groan from her throat, and even leaned back a little more, showing complete trust in her.

Lin Qingyue’s movements became even more cautious, but Xu Luzhi was not satisfied: “Sister, don’t be so hesitant.”

The girl’s words carried a plea, softly demanding, “Use a little more force, okay?”

Lin Qingyue didn’t understand the little one’s strange preference. She glanced at her pure black nails, then simply used a bit more strength and scratched her back once more.

Xu Luzhi yelped in pain and exclaimed with a hint of grievance, “Sister, you actually did it.”

Lin Qingyue was surprised, “Huh? Didn’t you ask me to use more force?”

Behind her was her low laughter, “You can’t take it already?”

“Mm, I can’t take it,” Xu Luzhi admitted frankly. If this continued, she would have to grab Lin Qingyue and force her older sister to leave marks all over her.

Lin Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled, thinking she had won this round. She slowly and deliberately fastened the hooks at her back.

The moment she let go, the shoulder strap slid down loosely, and the hook also automatically opened, as if by magic.

Lin Qingyue suspected Xu Luzhi had done it on purpose, but the girl’s eyes were exceptionally clear and innocent. She pointed to her chest and shrugged helplessly.

Lin Qingyue looked down. The size difference was too large; Xu Luzhi’s little bit of material was completely hidden and invisible, so of course it would come loose with one movement.

She sighed helplessly, but then raised an eyebrow with a hint of triumph, “I told you, you can’t wear it.”

Xu Luzhi replied with a smile, “Mm, then I just won’t wear it when I go out.”

This stance was clearly forcing Lin Qingyue to solve the problem for her.

What a wonderfully bad little thing.

Lin Qingyue tapped her forehead, keeping her gaze only above her neck, and then ordered Xu Luzhi to put her shirt back on before returning to the bedroom to search around.

Xu Luzhi waited outside with a smiling face, her shirt half-undone. She half-closed her eyes, recalling the sensation of Lin Qingyue’s fingertips touching her back, almost unable to control herself.

She really wanted to take the opportunity to slip into the bedroom and fiercely… at Lin Qingyue’s back.

Xu Luzhi intentionally skipped the word that was too shameful for her, yet even though she couldn’t have it, she constantly couldn’t resist increasing contact it was simply playing with fire and courting disaster.

Even the usually rational her had such moments of unclarity, which was truly laughable.

But for Lin Qingyue, being foolish was worth it.

At Xu Luzhi’s invitation, Lin Qingyue began visiting the Lin University campus more often, though limited to two or three times a week, accompanying Xu Luzhi to eat in the cafeteria and try the specialty foods of Lin University.

Xu Luzhi had a selfish motive: Lin University had few female students and many lesbians. She didn’t want Lin Qingyue to be noticed and ‘stolen’ by any other girl.

What’s more, she hoped that once Lin Qingyue became her girlfriend, they could walk around campus hand-in-hand openly, without having to answer that she was just an older sister.

Though, by then, they wouldn’t be in Lincheng anymore.

The midterms were immediately followed by the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xu Luzhi finished her papers early, declined her classmates’ invitations, and eagerly waited outside the Folk Music Shop for Lin Qingyue to finish work.

The boss, Xing Fei, seeing that Lin Qingyue’s zither playing had become erratic, waved her hand in resignation, letting her leave work early.

Lin Qingyue smiled radiantly, “Thank you, Boss.”

Xing Fei replied with a smile, “It’s fine, just make up the time next time, double.”

As expected, capitalists were all bloodsuckers, only Xing Fei was in the open while Lu Lu was in the shadows.

Lin Qingyue frowned slightly. The first thing she said to Xu Luzhi was to casually tell her she had to work overtime next.

Xu Luzhi stuck out her tongue sheepishly, shaking Lin Qingyue’s arm, “It’s all my fault, Sister. How about I treat you to crabs to apologize?”

Lin Qingyue’s eyes brightened, and she said leisurely, “Crabs, that’s not bad.”

Xu Luzhi definitely had to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Fearing Lin Qingyue would be lonely, she deliberately came to find her at noon to have a meal together.

The location was the same place where they had eaten yellow croaker noodles before. The middle-aged woman with a simple yet elegant dress greeted them with a tranquil smile, “Back again?”

Xu Luzhi nodded gracefully, “Mm, is the reserved crab ready?”

The woman smiled, “They were just delivered from Yangcheng Lake early this morning and have just been steamed.”

Perhaps because they had reserved, the small shop surprisingly set up a screened off small private room for them. Next to it was a bright window with a refreshing breeze and just the right view.

Two appetizers were served first. Lin Qingyue picked up the wine pot and took a sip of the warm yellow wine.

This time, Xu Luzhi didn’t stop her, just watched Lin Qingyue’s lips, still moist from the water, feeling a little moved, “I want to taste some too.”

Lin Qingyue offered her own wine glass, her peach blossom eyes lazy with a smile, looking slightly tipsy.

Xu Luzhi leaned in and licked a small sip from where Lin Qingyue had just drunk. The yellow wine was rich and potent. At first, she couldn’t taste much, but after it settled in her stomach, she felt dizzy.

After three rounds, Xu Luzhi drank very sparingly, only lightly licking the bottom of her cup after a long time. Lin Qingyue, however, drank nearly half a pot, still looking composed, only the edges of her cheeks flushed with a beautiful crimson, making her look even more charming.

The hot crabs were newly served, colorful chrysanthemums stood in vases on the table, the side dishes were light and refreshing, and the pastries and desserts were exquisite and small everything was perfectly thoughtful.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the two of them sitting opposite each other, gazing at one another.

Finally came some small, delicate mooncakes, both traditional and modern styles, with various fillings, but each one only tiny, melting in the mouth.

Xu Luzhi explained, “These were made by Auntie Lin at home. I wanted Sister to try more flavors, so I brought them over for you.”

Drunk from the wine, the girl’s face was flushed, and her eyes were a little misty. Her delicate features appeared even more beautiful, seemingly fragile, yet the look in her eyes was ardent and pure.

Having arranged everything, she looked at her with such singular focus.

Lin Qingyue’s heart stirred. She finished the remaining wine in her cup in one gulp and asked a non-committal question, “Are you going home tonight?”

“Mm,” Xu Luzhi nodded, saying helplessly, “If Sister can’t come back, I definitely have to go back.”

Then she suddenly smiled and said softly, “Otherwise, I can sneak out in the middle of the night to keep Sister company.”

She was truly drunk, even her speech was becoming a bit foolish, but the intense and determined look in her eyes seemed as if she were willing to lay her heart bare for her.

Lin Qingyue curved her lips and lightly replied, “Mm, then you come and keep me company.”

Xu Luzhi smiled without answering, remained quiet for a while, and then suddenly asked softly, “Sister, do you miss home?”

In the time they had known each other, she had never heard Lin Qingyue talk about her family, only vaguely sensing that perhaps the older sister had significant conflicts with her home.

Lin Qingyue was momentarily stunned, then slowly shook her head, “No.”

She had long since had no home. That man didn’t deserve to be called a father either.

Xu Luzhi didn’t ask further, only looked at her earnestly and said softly, “Sister, then when you look at the moon, think of me, okay?”

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone looked at the moon and thought of their families.

But if Sister doesn’t have a home, then think of Zhizhi.

Zhizhi will be your home.

Lin Qingyue couldn’t describe the feeling. After a long pause, she just replied solemnly, “Okay.”
