My Wife, So Fierce! - Chapter 66
What was even more terrifying was that despite being fully aware of this thought, she still hadn’t pushed Shen Baiyi away.
Forget it, they had already hugged, kissed, and even touched each other. Now, simply sleeping face-to-face seemed trivial compared to all that.
If she kept tossing and turning, she might wake Shen Baiyi. Last night, Shen Baiyi had stayed up far too late misbehaving, and on top of that, she had been either sick or injured, never getting proper rest. Now that she had finally fallen asleep, waking her up again would be too cruel.
It only took a few seconds for her to convince herself.
Soon, drowsiness slowly crept over her. Zheng Yao emptied her mind and finally drifted off to sleep.
In the darkness, Shen Baiyi slowly opened her eyes.
Gently lifting her chin, she held her breath and pressed her lips against her sister’s. The moment their lips met, it felt like a reward for enduring the entire day’s restraint.
Shen Baiyi’s eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.
Kissing her sister seemed to be an addictive act. Even a single day without such intimacy left her feeling suffocated, as if stricken by a serious illness only her sister’s kiss could cure her.
Her sister must be exhausted tonight.
A flicker of heartache passed through Shen Baiyi’s eyes, and her kiss grew even gentler. Afraid of disturbing her sister’s rest, she restrained herself, tenderly tracing the shape of her sister’s lips without deliberately parting them.
Just as she reluctantly pulled away, before she could even catch her breath, her sister’s lips suddenly pressed against hers.
Fireworks instantly exploded in Shen Baiyi’s mind.
It was like carefully raising a fish, feeding it day after day until, after one particular feeding, it suddenly shed its aloofness and drew close affectionately. Perhaps it was merely seeking more food, or perhaps it had finally grown familiar and wanted to be closer.
But whether it was the former or the latter, it made Shen Baiyi ecstatic.
Her nails dug into her palms as she struggled to suppress the urge to kiss back fervently. Instead, she gently pecked her sister’s lips, calling out “sister” over and over in her heart.
Ah, I really love my sister so much…
What should I do if I can’t bear to be apart from her anymore?
–
Zheng Yao had set an alarm for five o’clock the night before. When the alarm rang, her body and mind were still sluggish, but there was already movement beside her.
She hazily remembered their plan to watch the sunrise, but her eyes were simply too heavy to open.
Unable to resist, she hugged the blanket and whimpered, “So sleepy, I don’t want to go.”
So adorable.
Shen Baiyi’s eyes sparkled as she watched, feeling the urge to kiss her. Unfortunately, she had no rightful claim to do so and could only entertain the thought in her heart.
Sighing softly, she restrained herself and reached out to stroke her sister’s face. “Sister, you’ll regret it if you don’t go.”
After a moment’s thought, she added, “Sleep a little longer. I’ll find you a jacket and carry you out later.”
Zheng Yao, who had been on the verge of falling back asleep, jolted awake at those words and sat up abruptly. “I can manage on my own!”
Let Shen Baiyi carry her out?
The mere thought of that scene made her want to dig a hole three miles deep and hide!
If she really let Shen Baiyi carry her out to watch the sunrise, how could she ever show her face again?
Just imagining it strengthened the resolve of Zheng Yao, who usually loved lazing in bed. She quickly got herself ready.
Just as she was about to turn around and ask Shen Baiyi, Zheng Yao caught an unexpected glimpse of Shen Baiyi completely naked in her line of sight. She let out a startled cry, “Why aren’t you changing in the bathroom?!”
As she spoke, she flusteredly turned her back.
From behind came Shen Baiyi’s puzzled voice, “We’re both girls, sister. What are you afraid of?”
Zheng Yao was speechless.
Did Shen Baiyi really have no idea why she was afraid?
Before she could say anything, Shen Baiyi spoke again, “It’s fine, sister. I don’t mind if you see me naked.”
Zheng Yao: “I mind.”
“Alright.” Shen Baiyi’s voice was full of disappointment. Rustling sounds soon followed, and shortly after, Shen Baiyi spoke again in her usual tone, “Sister, you don’t have to be afraid. I’m dressed now.”
“Who’s afraid?” Zheng Yao cautiously turned slightly, confirming that Shen Baiyi was indeed dressed before finally relaxing completely. She turned around and said seriously, “I just want you to be more cautious when you’re out. If there were hidden cameras in the room, your naked video would already be circulating everywhere!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Baiyi suddenly rushed over and hugged her.
Her voice panicked, “Then what should I do, sister? Have people seen me naked?”
Zheng Yao: “…”
First of all, what she had just said was hypothetical.
Secondly, did Shen Baiyi really think she didn’t know this was just another act to take advantage of her?
She no longer believed Shen Baiyi was some fragile, easily damaged little white flower. A little white flower wouldn’t sneak kisses or touches when someone was drunk or asleep.
In her opinion, Shen Baiyi’s hands and mouth were both utterly terrifying.
Ruthlessly pushing her away, Zheng Yao said coldly, “What should you do? Deal with it.”
With that, she wrapped her down jacket tightly around herself and headed outside.
“Sister, wait for me!”
Shen Baiyi quickly chased after her. As soon as she opened the door, she shivered from the cold wind outside.
Soon the cold wind was blocked as her sister pushed her back inside.
“Go put on more clothes.” Zheng Yao closed the door again.
“Sister, I’m already wearing a thick coat.” Shen Baiyi hesitated. If she wore any more, she didn’t know how bulky she would become.
“Are you going to wear it or not?” Zheng Yao frowned impatiently.
Seeing this, Shen Baiyi’s hesitation instantly vanished. She immediately nodded emphatically, “I’ll wear it.”
Compared to making her sister angry, being a bit bulkier didn’t seem like such a big deal.
After all, her sister knew exactly what she looked like, and she didn’t care about anyone else.
When they went out again, Shen Baiyi, now dressed warmly, no longer felt cold. Noticing her sister shivering slightly beside her, she couldn’t help but reach out to hold her hand. Feeling how cold her sister’s hand was, she exclaimed in surprise, “Sister, why are your hands so cold?”
As she spoke, she wrapped both her hands around Zheng Yao’s, “Let me warm them for you.”
Zheng Yao was about to pull her hand away when the warmth from the other’s palms kept flowing over, making her weak-willedly feel attached.
It was just holding hands for warmth, it didn’t seem like a big deal. If she wanted to hold hands, so be it. Even ordinary classmates, friends, or family members held hands sometimes.
Thinking this, she let Shen Baiyi hold her hand with a clear conscience.
The sunrise over the grassland was beautiful, dyeing the vast array of windmills in the distance orange-red.
Zheng Yao held her breath, quietly admiring the view.
Her hand was suddenly released by Shen Baiyi. She froze for a moment before turning to look.
With a click, Shen Baiyi raised her phone and took a photo, then smiled brightly at Zheng Yao. “Both the sunrise and you are beautiful, sister.”
So you just spout sweet talk without a second thought, huh?
Zheng Yao couldn’t be bothered to respond and turned back to continue admiring the sunrise.
She wasn’t sure if Shen Baiyi had turned off the camera shutter sound or had settled down to watch the sunrise properly, but Zheng Yao no longer heard any noise from picture-taking.
The beauty of the sunrise was fleeting.
Watching the sun slowly climb higher from the other side of the grassland, Zheng Yao looked at Shen Baiyi. “Shall we head back?”
“Mm.” Shen Baiyi nodded. The temperature was gradually rising now, and she was already starting to feel a bit warm.
As the two walked back with the crowd, a sudden shout came from behind:
“Seniors and juniors!”
The voice was loud and somewhat familiar, likely from someone who had played Truth or Dare with them last night.
Zheng Yao turned around and indeed saw those young people.
But there were only three of them probably the others couldn’t get up this early.
“Senior, where are you going today?” The woman’s face was full of curiosity and excitement. “If there are enough people for some attractions, you can get group discounts and save a lot.”
It sounded like she wanted to join them.
Just as Zheng Yao was about to speak, her hand was suddenly grasped by Shen Baiyi. Whether intentionally or accidentally, Shen Baiyi’s pinky brushed against her palm.
She glanced at Shen Baiyi.
Shen Baiyi’s expression gave nothing away. She was slightly lowering her head, seemingly distracted.
But she didn’t withdraw her hand either.
Zheng Yao: “…”
Tch. So you don’t want to hang out with this group, yet you’re being so passive-aggressive about it not refusing outright yourself, just scratching my palm.
Of course, despite her inner grumbling, Zheng Yao politely declined their invitation to travel together in a few words.
Even if Shen Baiyi didn’t mind, she wouldn’t force her to join someone else’s circle.
It was much more comfortable with just the two of them.
When they returned to the yurt, it was still very early. Zheng Yao took off her jacket and said, “I’m going back to sleep. Don’t disturb me.”
After a pause, she looked at Shen Baiyi again. “You should go back to sleep too.”
“Okay.”
Shen Baiyi nodded, clearly adopting an attitude of “whatever you say goes.”
Her immediate agreement made Zheng Yao wary instead. Would this girl cause trouble again while she was asleep?
While she hesitated, Shen Baiyi had already climbed onto the bed ahead of her, lying obediently on the innermost side and closing her eyes immediately. “Sister, I’m so sleepy. I’m going to sleep first.”
Hearing this, Zheng Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Only after Shen Baiyi fell asleep did she climb onto the bed herself, lying down a good distance away from her.
She slept deeply and was eventually woken by hunger. Checking the time, it was already ten o’clock.
She had originally planned to visit the desert in the morning, but hadn’t expected to sleep so late. Rubbing her temples, she sat up and turned to see Shen Baiyi sitting nearby. Her gaze paused.
Shen Baiyi’s eyes always held a smile, their corners slightly upturned. The way she looked at Zheng Yao was full of attachment, tenderness, and affection hard to ignore.
Who knew how long she had been sitting there staring at her.
A flicker of discomfort crossed Zheng Yao’s face. She had never seen herself asleep but had seen others sleeping.
Some slept with their mouths open and drooling, others snored or ground their teeth in short, it wasn’t a flattering sight.
“What are you looking at?” She forced herself to glare at him.
“Sister, you look beautiful even when asleep,” Shen Baiyi praised with a cheerful smile.
Zheng Yao was half-embarrassed, half-annoyed: “If you dare spout nonsense again, I’ll leave you stranded in this grassland!”
The threat sounded utterly unconvincing.
Shen Baiyi sighed quietly to himself, but his mouth was already swiftly apologizing: “Alright, sister, I won’t say anymore. Don’t be angry.”
Seeing that he knew his place, Zheng Yao gave a light humph and didn’t bother to argue further.
They had quite an enjoyable day. Although it was quite late, they managed to visit all the places they wanted. In the evening, they returned to the hotel in the city.
This time, Zheng Yao had booked two adjacent rooms.
Before entering his room, Shen Baiyi gave her a resentful look: “Sister doesn’t want to sleep with me.”
