My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 33.1
Li Fangge seemed to freeze.
So, Guan Xiaoyu said again, clearly and seriously: “Now, I want big sister to kiss me!”
Actually, she wanted to ask for more, but she was also afraid, afraid that if she didn’t control herself well, she would lose control. She was always unsure whether her pheromones would hurt Li Fangge, as powerful inhibitors were never foolproof.
Although nothing seemed unmanageable happened the last time, she lost control and Li Fangge smelled it, Guan Xiaoyu always remembered that Li Fangge had said more than once after that that she was afraid of her pheromones.
What kind of fear was it?
Guan Xiaoyu knew she wouldn’t get a concrete answer from Li Fangge, so she decided to test it herself.
“In that case, wouldn’t you be giving big sister a bargain?”
“Big Sister Li, do you want me to forgive you or not? If you think it’s a bargain, why are you still hesitate—”
Li Fangge didn’t wait for her to finish, suddenly leaned in, and sealed off the rest of her words impenetrably.
She didn’t control her strength well and hurt her own lips from the impact.
The delicate flower must have been hurt even more. After a brief touch, Li Fangge backed away, her heart beating wildly, unable to breathe rhythmically.
She held her breath seemingly unintentionally, as if her panicked heart would beat slower this way.
Guan Xiaoyu was clearly startled by Li Fangge’s impulsiveness. She raised her right hand and slowly pressed it against her incomparably rosy little mouth. All her movements seemed a bit slower.
The gesture looked like she was soothing the pain caused by the sneak attack, but it was more like she was confirming whether the overly forceful yet overly brief kiss was real.
Their eyes met, both equally stunned, equally joyful, with the same chaotic heartbeats and disordered breathing.
The sudden silence was like a spell holding them captive. Thousands of words surged in their hearts, but neither could speak for a moment.
Guan Xiaoyu’s index and middle fingers of her right hand slowly slid down from her lips.
Li Fangge still watched her motionlessly, holding her breath. She thought Guan Xiaoyu’s hand would drop down, finding no place to rest. Unexpectedly, she saw her slowly lift her hand and gently extend it towards her.
She didn’t move, didn’t dodge; finally, her tender fingertip gently landed on Li Fangge’s lips.
Even though Guan Xiaoyu’s fingertip touched her heart, causing her heart to nearly stop working, she still didn’t move, didn’t dodge, allowing her to touch, to press—
“Big Sister Li, are my lips sweet?” Guan Xiaoyu’s voice was dreamy, a sound seemingly edged in peach-pink, delicate and soft, sweet and gentle.
It felt distant, yet also right next to her ear.
How was she supposed to answer a question like that? Li Fangge blinked blankly.
Guan Xiaoyu’s finger was still pressing on her lips. She still didn’t flinch or hide, simply answering her with her eyes, “Don’t ask the obvious.”
“Big Sister was so quick, you definitely didn’t get a taste, did you?”
Guan Xiaoyu said with a sweet smile, the spring in her eyes growing deeper and deeper.
It was as if she had walked deep into a garden of a hundred flowers, trapped in the seductive scenery and unable to pull herself out.
So, she didn’t let Li Fangge answer and continued, “Since Big Sister Li didn’t get a taste, then—I’ll allow Big Sister to kiss me again. A proper kiss, a proper taste.”
As she finished, her hand quickly retreated.
Their eyes seemed glued together.
Except for the blink of an eye, nothing else existed in their sight but each other.
Li Fangge wanted to say something, but when her tongue moved, something seemed to get stuck in her throat.
Accept your fate. Have a taste.
As if encouraged by something, Li Fangge was no longer able to think.
This time, she slowly, cautiously leaned in. The moment her nose touched the tip of the other’s nose, her long eyelashes gently lowered.
Ah—
So her lips were this soft!
Li Fangge felt they were a thousand times softer than a sigh.
This time, she didn’t rush in and out like before. Instead, she indulgently let her own lips cover Guan Xiaoyu’s lips. It was just the simplest touch, just the simplest feeling of her softness and warmth, yet inexhaustible fragrance and irresistible beauty streamed continuously from the place where their lips met, like sugar and honey, inviting one to drown.
Guan Xiaoyu remained motionless. She didn’t retreat, nor did she press forward.
Li Fangge had no idea that she hadn’t closed her eyes at all.
Guan Xiaoyu’s eyes were wide open. She wanted to imprint this moment, every movement of Li Fangge in this moment, deep into her heart. She was afraid that everything now was a beautiful dream that would vanish as soon as she closed her eyes—
She couldn’t say how long they stayed pressed together.
When Li Fangge pulled back, she saw Guan Xiaoyu still had her eyes closed.
Watching her look so intoxicated, as if she didn’t want to open her eyes, Li Fangge couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “This time, Big Sister—got a taste.”
Guan Xiaoyu’s face was incredibly red, the color already spreading down to the base of her neck, as if all the blood in her body had rushed there.
Just as Li Fangge was about to pinch the delicate flower’s face to see how soft it really was, Guan Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes, and a sweet smile immediately bloomed on her cheeks and in her eyes, scaring Li Fangge into pulling back her hand.
“What flavor was it?” Her voice carried sweetness and laughter.
Her delicate, trembling gaze gave Li Fangge a real sense that if the taste wasn’t what she expected, she would immediately demand a third kiss—
“The flavor of a delicate flower: delicate sweetness, soft sweetness, honey sweetness, and mellow sweetness.”
Guan Xiaoyu immediately smiled like a flower swaying in the wind, “Big Sister Li, do I really have so many flavors?”
“What flavor is Big Sister?” Li Fangge countered with a question, not wanting to be led around by the nose like this.
“Big Sister, you are—”
Guan Xiaoyu raised her head and stared fixedly at the ceiling for a moment.
Suddenly, she brought her gaze back, meeting Li Fangge’s dark, bright eyes again, and said with a smile, “Big Sister Li should be a persistent hot wind, an Epiphyllum at midnight; the sound of pine waves in the summer mountains, the dark-blue mountain mist on a spring evening; the brilliance of the full moon in autumn, the warmth of all winter morning suns; you are—”
Li Fangge couldn’t help but cover Guan Xiaoyu’s mouth, “If you keep praising me endlessly like this, Big Sister will become arrogant.”
Guan Xiaoyu pulled her hand away, “Big Sister Li is my lifelong pride. You should be proud, you should shine like the sun. You don’t know how wonderful you are—but, I know completely.”
“Only you would be so—”
Li Fangge suddenly felt a lump in her throat, an unfamiliar emotion surging in her chest. For a moment, she cared whether Guan Xiaoyu was talking about her or the scumbag Alpha.
By her own estimation, they had only known each other for ten-plus days.
But following her memory, Li Fangge knew that their interactions in these ten-plus days almost surpassed Guan Xiaoyu’s interactions with the scumbag Alpha over many years.
After a moment of realization, she felt she should be confident. Even if Guan Xiaoyu’s emotional components were unclear, even if she couldn’t distinguish the difference between her past self and her current self, one thing was certain: she definitely liked the her who had just arrived in this unfamiliar world. “It’s really only you who cherishes Big Sister so much!”
“Big Sister Li, do you know? This is my supreme honor. I wish it were true that only I cherish Big Sister so much.”
“Your little mouth is still so sweet.”
“Now Big Sister has tasted it, so you know.”
Li Fangge couldn’t resist any longer.
Her right hand finally, involuntarily, gave Guan Xiaoyu’s left cheek a gentle pinch.
Ah—it was just as she had imagined, so soft and warm it felt like an incomparably beautiful dream.
Guan Xiaoyu didn’t dodge at all, just gazed at Li Fangge with a delicate, infatuated smile, a look that said she was at Big Sister’s complete disposal.
“How can you be so—” Li Fangge also laughed, feeling as if candy had melted in her heart. She had never been so happy as she was at this moment, “—so cute.”
“Then let Big Sister be responsible for my cuteness forever.”
“No problem. You’re cute enough without having to be responsible for it.”
“I want to pinky swear.”
Guan Xiaoyu suddenly extended her right pinky and thumb.
Li Fangge stared fixedly at her smiling, almond-shaped eyes, unaware that her own gaze was filled with a kind of indulgence.
Guan Xiaoyu instantly became immersed in her gentle eyes, unable to pull herself out.
Silently, Li Fangge also extended her right pinky and thumb.
Their pinkies hooked together, and their thumbs pressed tightly against each other.
At the point where their fingers connected, they were exchanging not only body heat but also transmitting their mutual joy.
“Now, I forgive Big Sister.”
“Should I thank you?”
“That’s so strange, why didn’t my pheromones leak out? Big Sister Li’s didn’t seem to either.”
Guan Xiaoyu said, subconsciously reaching for the back of her neck with her left hand.
Li Fangge seemed to catch her habit, and her own hand unconsciously reached for the back of her neck as well.
It was flat. The soft gland certainly wasn’t protruding.
“Maybe we took too much inhibitor.”
“I took double the dose.”
“Me too.”
Both couldn’t help but burst into laughter simultaneously.
Li Fangge thought the interlude after their short separation had come to an end.
Unexpectedly, the clingy fiancée’s issues just kept coming. She couldn’t help but wonder if Guan Xiaoyu had planned it all before, she came over.
After the pleasant lunch, Guan Xiaoyu received a call from Hong Tao.
After hanging up, she said it was time for her to go home.
“Big Sister Li, you forgot one thing, oh.”
Li Fangge walked Guan Xiaoyu to the door. Hong Tao’s car was already parked at the steps in front of the veranda.
It was early afternoon, bright and clear after the rain, and the warm breeze was mingled with the damp scent of plants.
“What is it?” she asked while searching her memory, without result.
She hoped it wasn’t anything important; otherwise, who knew how the delicate flower would torment her next.
“I knew it, Big Sister Li was just saying it casually.”
The smile faded from Guan Xiaoyu’s face. She lowered her head, quietly staring at the tips of her shoes.
It was as if she was giving Li Fangge time to remember what she had forgotten.
“Why don’t you give Big Sister a hint?”
Guan Xiaoyu lifted her head and turned to look at Li Fangge, “When is Big Sister Li planning to visit me?”
Ah—
Li Fangge remembered. A few days ago, specifically the day she stood up Guan Xiaoyu for their appointment to watch the sunset by the sea, Guan Xiaoyu had angrily come over. To coax her into leaving, Li Fangge had told her, ‘I’ll come find you later.’
“Speaking of that, you can only blame your sister’s fans—”
Feigning a bit of annoyance, Li Fangge pretended to be unhappy, saying, “Big Sister was originally very much looking forward to our first date, and what happened later, I don’t need to say again, right?”
“I—” Guan Xiaoyu realized she was indeed in the wrong and was speechless.
