My Wife, So Fierce! - Chapter 81

“Xiao Bai, you should have your own life,” Zheng Yao sighed. Although she could write anywhere just by grabbing her laptop, she couldn’t keep Shen Baiyi tied to her side forever.

As she spoke, the owner brought over steaming bowls of seafood noodles.

The rising steam carried a familiar aroma.

Zheng Yao’s stomach chose that moment to growl in protest. She couldn’t resist picking up a bite to taste, and when the flavor registered, the initially enthusiastic sparkle in her eyes subtly shifted.

Her palate had truly been spoiled by Shen Baiyi.

No matter what she ate outside, she’d unconsciously compare it to Shen Baiyi’s cooking – and crucially, outside food never measured up.

“It’s delicious,” Shen Baiyi also took a bite, a smile appearing between her brows as she returned to their previous topic, “I just want to visit more food spots at A University with my sister. Isn’t that part of my life too?”

Zheng Yao was stumped by the question.

Shen Baiyi clearly didn’t actually expect an answer. Seeing Zheng Yao hesitate to respond, she directly picked up a meatball and brought it to Zheng Yao’s lips: “It’s the meatball you like.”

Zheng Yao instinctively opened her mouth to accept it.

Only after chewing a few times did, she realize they were in public, and such intimate behavior might be inappropriate.

While eating, Zheng Yao glanced around. Most customers here were young people, and since both she and Shen Baiyi were quite good-looking, her quick scan immediately caught numerous gazes secretly directed their way.

“Does sister care about them?” Sensing Zheng Yao’s movement, Shen Baiyi pursed her lips.

Hearing this, Zheng Yao raised an eyebrow and picked up a piece of meat, feeding it to Shen Baiyi in response.

Now that they were together, if anyone should be concerned about these young university students, it should be Shen Baiyi rather than herself.

After all, it was Shen Baiyi who spent four years studying here, not her.

This response seemed to satisfy Shen Baiyi, as a slow smile spread across her face. After eating the offered meat, she settled down and stopped asking foolish questions.

They’d hired housekeeping to clean the apartment that afternoon, so the two temporarily stayed in a hotel.

The next day, they returned to the apartment.

The place was clean now, but some items still needed organizing. Though the apartment wasn’t large, they spent the entire afternoon getting everything in order.

Zheng Yao had always been lazy, and this rare physical exertion left her whole body sore and aching, with sweat covering her skin.

Being somewhat particular about cleanliness, she took her things to the bathroom while Shen Baiyi was still tidying the master bedroom.

The bathroom here was relatively clean, though much smaller than their home bathroom. Surprisingly, there were no hooks for clothes, so Zheng Yao could only place her change of clothes temporarily on the shelf.

She soon came to regret this decision.

Water from the showerhead accidentally sprayed onto the shelf, instantly soaking the clean clothes she’d placed there.

Zheng Yao froze in disbelief.

Since she only planned to stay one night, she’d brought just one set of pajamas. Her discarded clothes were tossed aside and already wet too.

Standing helplessly in the steamy bathroom, Zheng Yao stared at her naked reflection in the mirror for several seconds before clearing her throat and calling out, “Baiyi?”

Perhaps her voice was too soft – there was no response from outside.

Zheng Yao had no choice but to take a few steps out, standing by the door. She cupped her hands like a megaphone and called out again, “Xiao Bai?!”

Still no response.

Zheng Yao began to panic. Standing there completely exposed was far too unsettling. She could only crack the door open slightly and cautiously poke her head out. “Shen Baiyi!”

This time, her voice carried far enough. Shen Baiyi emerged from the bedroom. “Sister?”

Abruptly, her footsteps halted.

Through the frosted glass of the bathroom door, she could clearly see the figure pressed against it even the faint pink hue of cherry blossoms was visible.

And her sister, thinking she was being cautious, had only poked her head out, barely revealing her neck.

So adorable.

She found herself rooted to the spot, silently watching for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, clenching her fists, and feigning composure as she asked, “What’s wrong, Sister?”

“My pajamas got wet,” Zheng Yao replied with a nearly tearful expression. “I don’t have any spare clothes to change into.”

Ah, even more adorable.

Shen Baiyi subtly concealed the emotions in her eyes, her voice calm. “It’s alright, I’ll go get some clothes for you.”

“The clothes I brought for tomorrow aren’t suitable for sleeping in,” Zheng Yao sighed. She had packed a form-fitting outfit, and now, with nothing on underneath, how could she wear that?

Besides, it wouldn’t be comfortable anyway.

“It’s fine, Sister can wear mine for now,” Shen Baiyi said gently. “I’ll wash your clothes later. The weather is so hot now, they’ll be dry by tomorrow.”

“Yours?” Zheng Yao blinked. “Pajamas?”

“Yes,” Shen Baiyi nodded. “It’s the nightgown you bought me. It’s very loose on me, so it should fit you just about right.”

“What about you?” Zheng Yao hesitated. If she wore Shen Baiyi’s pajamas, what would Shen Baiyi wear?

“I’ll just wear tomorrow’s clothes,” Shen Baiyi replied indifferently. “I brought loose wide-leg pants and a T-shirt. It’s fine to sleep in them.”

That works.

Zheng Yao nodded, her eyes sparkling. “Alright then, thank you, Xiao Bai.”

Shen Baiyi curved her lips into a smile. “Why are you being so polite with me, Sister?”

After saying that, she glanced at the two soft, white shapes pressed and distorted against the door and murmured, “Be gentle, Sister. Don’t hurt yourself.”

“Huh?” Zheng Yao was confused. What did that mean?

But Shen Baiyi didn’t elaborate further, only giving her a meaningful glance before turning to head to the master bedroom to fetch the clothes.

Leaving Zheng Yao utterly bewildered.

Shen Baiyi left quickly and returned just as fast. Watching her approach, Zheng Yao instinctively shrank back.

Even though she was the older one, strangely, at that moment, she felt a sudden urge to retreat. Shen Baiyi seemed overwhelmingly assertive, reminding her irresistibly of what Zhou Meilin had once said that Shen Baiyi looked rather intimidating.

Back then, she had immediately refuted Zhou Meilin, but now, she found herself agreeing with her.

She really was intimidating in a way that made it seem like she could pin her against the wall and kiss her until her legs went weak.

But how could she back down?

Instinctively straightening her back, she reached out her hand to take the clothes.

Just as she was about to pull her hand back after grabbing the clothes, she encountered resistance.

The clothes didn’t follow her pull; the other end remained firmly in Shen Baiyi’s grasp.

Shen Baiyi sighed. “I’m lending you my clothes, Sister. Shouldn’t you tell me what reward I’ll get?”

“You’re taking advantage of the situation?” Zheng Yao couldn’t believe it, how could Shen Baiyi do something so shameless?

“How could that be?” Shen Baiyi looked utterly innocent, yet her hands remained busy, reaching out to gently scratch Zheng Yao’s hand. “I just want my sister to pamper me a little more.”

Zheng Yao: “…”

Of course, the older ginger is spicier. After a long silence, Zheng Yao sighed softly, “Xiao Bai, if you keep making things difficult for me, I’m going to catch a cold.”

In 37-degree Celsius weather, catching a cold was, of course, impossible, but that didn’t stop Shen Baiyi from backing down.

She let go and took a step back. “Alright, then hurry up and get dressed, sister.”

Zheng Yao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately closed the door.

Leaning against the door, she gasped as if a weight had been lifted. In that moment, she had felt utterly exposed in front of Shen Baiyi.

She even felt that Shen Baiyi’s gaze was too invasive, as if she might push open the bathroom door at any second and do something not suitable for children.

There was precedent for this.

The moment she recalled the image of Shen Baiyi looking up from between her legs that night, Zheng Yao’s face uncontrollably flushed.

Quickly shaking off those vivid memories, she put on the nightgown Shen Baiyi had given her.

For Shen Baiyi, the dress was a bit loose, but for Zheng Yao, it was slightly tight. The waist was fine not too snug but the chest area accentuated her curves a bit too much.

Moreover, the dress was a little short on her. On Shen Baiyi, it reached below the knees, but on Zheng Yao, it only made it to mid-thigh.

If she had been wearing something underneath, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but she was completely bare, making her hesitant to take large steps for fear of exposing herself.

When she opened the door and saw Shen Baiyi still waiting outside, she felt slightly uncomfortable. “Are you done getting ready?”

“Mm.” Shen Baiyi’s gaze swept over her legs, a faint smile appearing on her face. “Sister, you can go rest in the bedroom first.”

Her sister’s legs were so long, and their shape was exceptionally beautiful, the kind that would captivate anyone at first glance.

Shen Baiyi subtly clenched her fists.

She had to restrain herself.

If she rushed things, it could backfire. If she scared her sister, she might not even get a taste, let alone a full meal.

Zheng Yao, of course, had no idea what Shen Baiyi was thinking. She only felt that the other’s gaze was a bit too intense. Without lingering outside, she quickly retreated to the bedroom.

The large bed in the bedroom had been made with the new sheets she had specially brought from home. When she threw herself onto it, she could still smell the familiar scent.

Zheng Yao let out a contented sigh.

Finally, she could lie down.

After a busy day and a refreshing shower, her entire body felt lazy and unwilling to move.

It wasn’t until she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening outside that Zheng Yao abruptly sat up.

Belatedly, she realized a serious problem: yesterday, when they stayed at the hotel, they had separate rooms, but now, the two of them had to share a bed.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time they had slept together, but how could the simple sisterly affection of the past compare to the passionate dynamic of a couple in the honeymoon phase?

Never mind Shen Baiyi, she wasn’t even sure she could control herself.

Certain emotions always came unexpectedly. Sometimes, when the atmosphere was right and the timing was perfect, rationality would temporarily take a break.

Thinking this, she shifted further toward the inside of the bed.

She had to restrain herself, not let herself become like a beast, her mind filled with those thoughts!

Just as her thoughts were running wild, Shen Baiyi’s footsteps approached from afar. Step by step, they seemed to echo right beside her ears. Zheng Yao’s heart instantly pounded like thunder. With her back turned to the outside and facing the wall, she held her breath, pretending to be asleep.

The footsteps quickly stopped by the bedside.

“Sister?” Shen Baiyi’s voice sounded.

Perhaps the room was too quiet Shen Baiyi’s voice seemed to ring right beside her ear, carrying a subtle huskiness that made Zheng Yao instinctively swallow.

She kept her eyes tightly shut and didn’t respond.

With her vision gone, the sensitivity of all her senses was amplified countless times, the rustling sound of Shen Baiyi getting into bed, Shen Baiyi’s breathing, Shen Baiyi’s body temperature.

Zheng Yao felt almost suffocated.

The next second, a scorching hand landed on her exposed leg.
