My Wife, So Fierce! - Chapter 74
Zheng Yao froze.
Soon, she snapped out of it.
Guan: [She’s a newborn calf unafraid of tigers young and inexperienced, so she’s fearless.]
Xuegao: [How do you know she’s just a newborn calf unafraid of tigers? Couldn’t it be that the new generation surpasses the old?]
What kind of reasoning was that?
Zheng Yao had been lost in chaotic thoughts, but suddenly seeing this line, she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.
Honestly, this perspective was quite interesting.
Wasn’t it exactly a case of the new generation surpassing the old? At Shen Baiyi’s age, she hadn’t been so bold, nor had she been proficient in countless skills like Shen Baiyi, it seemed there was nothing Shen Baiyi couldn’t do.
Even that kind of thing.
Wait, stop thinking!
What was she thinking?!
Zheng Yao covered her head and shook it vigorously, trying to banish all those colorful images.
But this wasn’t something she could control, the more she forced herself not to think about it, the clearer certain scenes became.
Just thinking about it made her lose control and feel sensations. It was even more thrilling than watching those restricted R-rated movies back in the day.
At this thought, her mind drifted again. Shen Baiyi had been so bold last night, daring to do such things, and making her lose control so quickly.
Could it be that Shen Baiyi had secretly downloaded a bunch of those R-rated movies?
Otherwise, how could she be so skilled at arousing her?
The more Zheng Yao thought about it, the more serious her expression became. Such things were fine to watch occasionally, but what if Shen Baiyi obsessed over them every day and went down the wrong path?
What if she had already tried it with someone else?
As this thought emerged, Zheng Yao couldn’t help but frown.
She couldn’t help but recall the girl who had tried to tempt Shen Baiyi into a relationship before the college entrance exams.
They say one takes on the color of their company maybe that girl was partly responsible for Shen Baiyi becoming like this.
She wondered how that girl had done on her exams. Hopefully, she wasn’t at the same university as Shen Baiyi.
Her thoughts drifted further and further until her phone chimed with another message notification.
Xuegao: [Can’t you trust the other person and give it a try? If it doesn’t work out, you can part ways without regrets, right?]
Xuegao: [Why worry so much? If you like them, what’s the harm in trying?]
Zheng Yao was tempted.
Guan: [What if we break up later and never speak again?]
Xuegao: [Are you afraid the relationship will fall apart?]
Guan: [Yes]
The other person replied instantly: [Then if you reject her now, your relationship might fall apart right away. Since the outcome is the same either way, why not follow your heart and try with her first?]
Zheng Yao was stunned, feeling as if everything had suddenly become clear.
Yes, if breaking up meant the relationship falling apart, and rejecting her now also meant the relationship falling apart, then why not date for a while?
She liked Shen Baiyi too, didn’t she?
The gloom between her brows instantly vanished, and without hesitation, she sent Xuegao a red envelope.
The amount wasn’t large, but the other person seemed startled, sending a series of question marks and asking why she had sent a red envelope.
Zheng Yao, now with her worries cleared, was in high spirits.
Guan: [Consider it an early wedding gift for you and your crush.]
Not long after sending this message, the red envelope was claimed. Within seconds, the other party sent one back.
Snow Cone: [My contribution for you and your sweetheart]
Followed by five or six consecutive stickers, completely revealing the other person’s current joy.
Zheng Yao suppressed a laugh and accepted the red envelope, only to be surprised by its size she had sent Snow Cone eighty-eight, but received two hundred in return.
She strongly suspected that two hundred wasn’t Snow Cone’s limit but rather the maximum amount allowed for a WeChat red envelope.
Was this stranger she met online always this generous? Or was she so overjoyed that she’d even toss a meaty bone to a passing dog on the street?
Her own eighty-eight now seemed rather paltry in comparison.
Zheng Yao rubbed her nose, still feeling like she was taking advantage, and sent another red envelope. This time, however, no matter what she said, the other party didn’t respond, nor did she claim the red envelope.
After some thought, Zheng Yao entered the app and gifted Snow Cone a “Rose Rain” worth three hundred ninety-nine on her profile page.
Although the platform would take a cut, Snow Cone would still receive over two hundred, so it wasn’t a loss.
With the debt repaid, Zheng Yao felt lighthearted. She immediately got up, washed up, and finally sat at the dining table, gazing at the lavish spread of dishes with a soft sigh.
Anyway, it was impossible for her and Shen Baiyi to continue interacting as they had before. Switching to a closer relationship wasn’t such a bad idea.
Thus, she ate and drank with a clear conscience.
Unexpectedly, before she could even finish her meal, there was a sudden noise from the entrance.
Zheng Yao tensed up instantly. She had planned to have a frank talk with Shen Baiyi, but she hadn’t expected to face it so soon!
The more anxious she became, the messier her thoughts grew, and she completely forgot what she was going to say.
As footsteps approached, she gritted her teeth and kept her head down, focusing on her meal.
“Sister.”
Shen Baiyi’s voice carried an inexplicable delight.
Zheng Yao responded indifferently, but paused mid-action, suddenly realizing her tone might have come off as cold.
What if Shen Baiyi misunderstood and thought she was rejecting her?
That wouldn’t do!
Just as she was about to explain, Shen Baiyi suddenly hugged her from behind. Zheng Yao was so startled that her chopsticks clattered onto the table. The person behind her pressed her cheek against hers, gently nuzzling. “Sister, are you still mad at me?”
Her tone was intimate, with a hint of coquettishness.
“Let go.” Zheng Yao felt uncomfortable, but her words lacked conviction.
She expected Shen Baiyi to release her quickly, but instead, the arms around her tightened.
“Sister, don’t be mad at me.” Shen Baiyi sighed, though the smile in her eyes was unmistakable.
Her sister hadn’t denied the message she sent on WeChat “My contribution for you and your sweetheart” and had even accepted the red envelope. Did that mean she had acknowledged being her sweetheart?
As she spoke, she kissed her cheek again.
Feeling the warmth beneath her lips, Shen Baiyi’s smile deepened. But knowing better than to push her luck, she loosened her hold and took a step back.
Aware that her sister was thin-skinned and often said one thing but meant another, she sat down at the table opposite her. Watching her sister’s flushed face, she said, “Sister, I like you. If you don’t dislike me, let’s try being together, okay?”
By offering this way out, Shen Baiyi helped Zheng Yao’s heart settle gradually.
The chopsticks had already fallen, so Zheng Yao simply crossed her arms, leaned back, and adopted her authoritative older sister demeanor: “Try being together? Do you even know what we’d be trying? And you just want to experiment with me?”
Shen Baiyi’s gaze fixed on her flushed cheeks as she murmured meaningfully: “Whether I know or not, doesn’t elder sister already know?”
As she spoke, she raised a hand to press against her own lips: “Did I not satisfy elder sister last night?”
Zheng Yao: !!!
In broad daylight, at the dining table no less, what outrageous words was Shen Baiyi saying?!
“Shen Baiyi!” Zheng Yao shot her a warning glare.
But she never expected Shen Baiyi to be so bold. Not only did the glare fail to intimidate her, but a foot began gently rubbing against Zheng Yao’s calf, pressing lightly and tracing teasing circles.
“Was elder sister truly dissatisfied yesterday?” Shen Baiyi’s voice was full of feigned grievance, laced with implication. “I’m not as experienced as elder sister. Could you teach me?”
Seeing Shen Baiyi’s foot threatening to travel upward, Zheng Yao reached down and grabbed the mischievous foot.
“Ah!”
Caught off guard by the move, Shen Baiyi nearly got pulled off her chair. She quickly steadied herself against the table, ignoring her pounding heart as she blinked innocently: “What does elder sister want to do?”
“What do you want to do?” Zheng Yao arched an eyebrow.
Instead of answering, Shen Baiyi asked: “If I tell you, will elder sister get angry?”
Zheng Yao: “…”
Alright, she knew exactly what Shen Baiyi was going to say.
To avoid sinking deeper into embarrassment, she chose to evade the question and stood up to wash her hands first.
The sound of Shen Baiyi following closely behind her echoed clingy like a spoiled child, shadowing her every step. Zheng Yao clicked her tongue and turned to stand firm: “You!”
But she didn’t anticipate Shen Baiyi’s delayed reaction, resulting in a full collision that sent Zheng Yao stumbling backward. Just as she was about to hit the sink, Shen Baiyi’s hand suddenly supported her lower back.
She landed squarely in Shen Baiyi’s palm.
The distance between them closed abruptly, leaving them standing face-to-face in an intimately close posture.
Zheng Yao’s breath tightened slightly.
Noticing the shift in Shen Baiyi’s eyes, she looked up: “Let go.”
Their eyes locked, undercurrents swirling between them. After a few seconds, Shen Baiyi withdrew her hand, appearing utterly obedient: “Did I hurt you, elder sister?”
Relieved by her compliance, Zheng Yao replied: “No.”
Deciding not to keep Shen Baiyi hanging, she said seriously: “Trying it out isn’t entirely off the table.”
Before she could finish, Shen Baiyi suddenly embraced her again, pinning her between herself and the sink until Zheng Yao’s every breath was filled with Shen Baiyi’s scent.
“I’ll definitely satisfy elder sister.”
As she spoke, Shen Baiyi couldn’t resist lifting her head to kiss her elder sister’s lips, this was the first time she’d dared to kiss her so openly and confidently, trembling with excitement.
Zheng Yao could clearly sense Shen Baiyi’s tentative approach just a feather-light brush against her lips, too cautious to be bold.
Those beautiful eyes were still watching for her reaction.
Amused, Zheng Yao reached out, pulled her close, and circled her into an embrace. Before Shen Baiyi could react, she bit her lip.
Watching Shen Baiyi’s eyes widen in shock, a flicker of laughter sparked in Zheng Yao’s gaze.
Every time Shen Baiyi managed to startle her well, turns rotated. Finally, she’d seized the chance to startle her back.
Drawing on some accumulated experience, Zheng Yao ignored her wildly beating heart and kissed earnestly. However, with too little practice, her movements remained clumsy, accidentally biting Shen Baiyi several times.
Yet Shen Baiyi didn’t seem to mind. Even as the metallic taste of blood spread in her mouth, she appeared thoroughly enchanted, her face brimming with delight as she cooperatively parted her lips, luring her deeper.
So, Zheng Yao didn’t pull away.
She had never experienced the feeling of taking the initiative before, and now a trace of nervousness emerged within her.
What if her kissing skills were too terrible? Wouldn’t that be utterly embarrassing?
She was the older sister, several years senior to Shen Baiyi, how could her kissing skills be worse than Shen Baiyi’s?!
Realizing this, she abruptly pulled back.
Shen Baiyi looked utterly bewildered, a silvery thread of intimacy still connecting their lips. Her eyes shimmered with confusion as she asked, “Sister?”
