My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 42.2
This was not without clues. She should have known that Guan Xiaoyu’s offer to help her pay off debts or open a company wouldn’t be too difficult.
“Sister Li, let’s go change into our swimsuits quickly.”
Guan Xiaoyu looked up. The afternoon sun shone on her small face.
The wind messed up her hair, and the sunlight grazing her cheekbones fell onto her earlobe.
Li Fangge couldn’t help but want to kiss her red ear again.
She didn’t understand why her ear held such a peculiar temptation for her.
Guan Xiaoyu felt her gaze, withdrew her eyes from the blue sky, and turned to meet Li Fangge’s eyes. “Sister Li, do I look good?”
“You do.” Li Fangge smiled, then subtly avoided the gaze they had just shared.
“That’s so perfunctory.”
“What should I say that wouldn’t be perfunctory?”
“Sister Li, if you really think I look good, show it with action.”
“What are you trying to say?”
Li Fangge’s heart rate suddenly accelerated. Had the delicate flower seen right through her?
“If Sister Li thinks I look good, then kiss me once. If you want to kiss me more than once, I don’t mind.”
“Hahaha…” Li Fangge lowered her head, laughing away all her worries. “By your logic, wouldn’t you always want to kiss me?”
“Sister Li, I’m tired of saying this, okay?” Guan Xiaoyu gently tugged at the sleeve of Li Fangge’s red shirt. “I, you know, have about a thousand urges a day to kiss you, Sister—”
Li Fangge turned, quickly leaned over, and pressed her lips against Guan Xiaoyu’s constantly moving red mouth.
Sure enough, the spot where her lips had been ‘irritated’ yesterday still felt a painful pressure.
When she pulled back, she saw a red flush spread from Guan Xiaoyu’s face all the way down to the base of her neck.
Li Fangge instinctively reached up, touched the still slightly swollen and painful spot on her lower lip, and looked straight into Guan Xiaoyu’s smiling eyes. “Why is your face so red?”
“I don’t want to answer.” Guan Xiaoyu’s face reddened even more.
Every time she talked big, but she never had the courage to act.
Every time she was kissed, she was both surprised and shy, her mind completely blank.
Therefore, she greatly admired her grandmother for being able to push her grandfather down. She also wanted to become an Omega like her—
“Do you want to come again?”
“Sister Li, I want to come again a hundred times.”
“Wait until my mouth is better.”
Li Fangge said, winking her left eye.
Guan Xiaoyu was stunned by the effect, completely forgetting to respond.
The sun had already begun to set. Li Fangge pulled the frozen Guan Xiaoyu toward the bathroom.
They swam for about an hour and then had dinner in the manor. When they were about to head home, the sun was almost setting.
Guan Xiaoyu was still not ready to leave. In the front garden, she slowed her steps, looking at Li Fangge’s figure stretched long and thin by the sunset. Just as she was about to speak,
Li Fangge suddenly stopped. She turned around, startling the words off Guan Xiaoyu’s tongue.
“What’s wrong?”
The evening sea breeze was blowing. Li Fangge was close by, yet her voice seemed distant.
They stood on the pebble path in the lawn, about five or six meters apart, with small white daisies blooming on both sides of the path.
Guan Xiaoyu gazed steadily at her, as if she hadn’t heard her question.
Li Fangge didn’t walk back. They just looked at each other, neither of them in a hurry, as if they had forgotten about going home.
Finally, a sudden phone ring interrupted them.
Guan Xiaoyu pulled out her phone, frowned slightly, and pressed a button. The garden instantly became quiet enough to only hear the wind.
In the blink of an eye, she had skipped and hopped to Li Fangge’s side.
“Sister Li, strictly speaking, today is our first date! I think we should do something to commemorate it.” She hooked her arm through Li Fangge’s, tilting her head up slightly to look at her.
“Strictly speaking,” Li Fangge also tilted her head. Their faces were so close that the wind could blow Guan Xiaoyu’s strands of hair onto her cheek. “Our first date is still ongoing. Would commemorating something before it’s finished be—”
“It wouldn’t. We can start commemorating it once we get home.”
Guan Xiaoyu said, leaning her head on Li Fangge’s shoulder.
She rubbed affectionately, then rubbed again, as if she would keep clinging to her if she didn’t agree.
Li Fangge instantly understood why couples who couldn’t bear to part were often seen outside train stations and dormitories before lights out on campus.
The urge to spend every possible second together and the desperation to find excuses to continue clinging even before separation were universal feelings for couples.
“Do you want to stay at my place tonight?”
Since she decided to give, Li Fangge often gave a lot at once.
Agreeing to fulfill ‘promises,’ confessing, agreeing to Guan Xiaoyu moving in—
At this moment, she realized that she was also the type to give her all once her heart was moved.
“Sister Li!—”
Guan Xiaoyu had already understood the true meaning in Li Fangge’s words.
In her less-than-serious tone, in that voice that sounded as if she were just casually asking, what was hidden was her serious invitation.
Guan Xiaoyu had indeed planned to be with Li Fangge tonight.
This plan included a little calculation to seize the opportunity to push her down. After all, it was already late August.
Grandma’s words, “Don’t call me again until you push your sister down,” still echoed in her ears.
Guan Xiaoyu wasn’t truly determined to complete this task within the deadline given by her grandmother.
She was just curious. Curious about whether something would really happen after pushing Li Fangge down.
The thoughts of adventure and curiosity had been constantly prompting her, but on the other side of the scale, a certain worry was desperately trying to suppress her curiosity and adventurous thoughts.
“Tonight—is that okay?” Guan Xiaoyu’s reaction surprised Li Fangge.
Wasn’t this what she had been hoping for? She thought she would jump for joy and impatiently say yes.
But in her short, spaced-out sentences, the first half was surprise, and the second half was a rare moment of hesitation.
“Did Sister misunderstand?”
Li Fangge’s steps faltered. “I thought you really wanted to be with me tonight.”
“No, you didn’t misunderstand.” Guan Xiaoyu said. “I really want to be with Sister Li tonight. Sister Li, you can understand what I mean, right?”
Li Fangge simply stopped.
She turned to the side, took Guan Xiaoyu’s hands, and facing her, looked into her eyes. “Guan Xiaoyu, do you want to sleep together?”
She decided to open up completely to the delicate flower all at once, lest she keep testing her bit by bit. That wasn’t her style. It must be because she had reservations that she was so careful.
Guan Xiaoyu was stunned.
Li Fangge said again, “Shall we commemorate our first date by sleeping together, okay?”
“Sister Li, haven’t we slept together before?”
“…So, where did I start to misunderstand?”
“I said, Sister Li didn’t misunderstand,” Guan Xiaoyu tightened their clasped hands. “You didn’t. I just feel a little unadjusted. What Sister gave me, all of a sudden, is too much.”
Swimming together, dating, kissing, hugging, holding hands, sleeping together…
All these things, before August, Guan Xiaoyu dared not even dream of.
Although all of this was what she had longed for, and she wanted even more—she wished to rush into marriage and use it to bind them together—
The only bit of rationality left reminded her that the faster things came, the faster they would go.
She was afraid that her pheromones would cause Li Fangge pain. She was afraid that all the beautiful things before her were just a fleeting moment.
So, the person who wanted to stay tonight was her, but the person who ultimately refused was also her.
Li Fangge smiled, a helpless and melancholy smile.
She hadn’t expected her sudden, open-heartedness to scare the delicate flower.
It made sense. The ‘scum A’ before wouldn’t even meet her.
In just over half a month, she had indeed changed too much. Although she was only following Guan Xiaoyu’s wishes, it turned out to be counterproductive.
“Well—tell me when you decide when you want to move in together.”
Li Fangge suppressed the bitterness in her heart, her beautiful face full of gentleness.
