Obsessive Love, The Possessive Real Young Lady - Chapter 47
After spending the whole day shopping with Gao Wei, Shen Jiayan wanted to go back to the hotel for a good rest.
But Gao Wei seemed to know no fatigue and dragged Shen Jiayan, who had just climbed onto the bed and hadn’t rested for two seconds, to a natural hot spring facility.
The hot spring facility was located halfway up the mountain, and from the outside, it was surrounded by lush, dense trees.
But this place was really too remote.
It was unknown how Gao Wei, who was unfamiliar with the place and couldn’t speak the local language, managed to find it.
However, the environment was beautiful and quiet all around, making it a good place to relax.
She raised her foot, preparing to go in, when her phone rang in her pocket.
Shen Jiayan looked at it; it was the landlady calling.
She then remembered that since she and Gao Wei left the seaside town, nearly two months had passed—it was time to pay the rent.
Without daring to delay, she quickly answered the call, “Hello, Grandma Li. I’ll transfer the rent to you right away, don’t worry.”
But Grandma Li’s hearty laughter came from the other end of the line, “Xiao Gao, you’re teasing me again, aren’t you? I’m asking when you’ll be back, I’m even going to transfer the property to you.”
“Transfer the property?” Shen Jiayan didn’t understand the meaning. She looked up and saw Gao Wei signaling her with her small purse.
Judging by her mouth movements, she seemed to be saying that she had dropped something of hers and was going to look for it.
Shen Jiayan didn’t think much of it. While listening to the phone, she nodded to Gao Wei, signaling her to go ahead.
Grandma Li was still speaking on the phone, “Yes, just last month. You asked a friend to say they were willing to pay double the market price to buy my house and even gave me a 50,000 yuan deposit. Don’t you remember this?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayan immediately thought of Su Sui and asked the landlady, “Grandma Li, may I ask, is my friend’s surname Su?”
Unexpectedly, Grandma Li quickly denied it, “No, no. It’s that girl named Chen who owns the home design company south of town.”
Chen Qianqian?!
Why would she buy the house for her? Could it be that she wanted to buy the house while she was away to leave her with nowhere to go?
No, if that were the case, the landlady wouldn’t be calling to ask about the transfer of ownership.
“Grandma Li, I’m currently abroad. Can we discuss this when I get back, okay?” After speaking, Shen Jiayan chatted with the landlady for a few more sentences and hung up.
She looked back toward the mountain path they came from but couldn’t see Gao Wei anywhere.
As she was contemplating whether to wait for her at the entrance, Gao Wei’s WeChat message arrived on her phone.
[Sis, you go take a soak. I’m not feeling well, so I went back first. The money has been paid, and the room number is 036. Please relax well; it’s been tough taking care of me all this time.]
Seeing what Gao Wei wrote, Shen Jiayan replied, “[Okay, let me know when you arrive back at the hotel.]”
Then, she walked into the hot spring facility.
The hot spring facility wasn’t huge, but it wasn’t small either.
There were only a few guests inside, all sitting near the public hot spring pool. Moreover, most of them were young people.
Besides Shen Jiayan and another female guest, there were also two men present.
Shen Jiayan instantly attracted everyone’s attention as soon as she entered. She was wearing a white slip dress, showcasing her fair and delicate skin, with red hair and a pair of dark eyes.
Especially her palm sized melon seed face, which made her look even more exquisite and charming, standing out conspicuously among a group of foreigners with high nose bridges and deep-set eyes.
After communicating with the front desk using a translation app, Shen Jiayan was led by a staff member to Room 036.
She pushed open the somewhat heavy stone door and stepped inside.
Instantly, water vapor billowed up, misting her vision.
She could only vaguely make out the arrow signs on the ground.
Shen Jiayan couldn’t understand what the characters on the signs meant.
Therefore, she hesitated at the doorway for a moment.
The construction style and renovation of this place were similar to hot spring facilities in China, and the changing room should be similar too.
Shen Jiayan simply turned and walked to the right side.
But the further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong.
The hot spring steam rose in wisps, and the air was filled with a scent that made one drowsy.
She looked up, searching around for the changing room.
Suddenly, the ground beneath her gave way, and she fell into water that was warm, even a bit scalding.
She involuntarily swallowed some water and choked, coughing violently.
“Cough, cough…”
“How is it? Are you hurt anywhere?”
That was Su Sui’s voice.
Shen Jiayan started, then slowly turned her head. She saw Su Sui standing right behind her, looking at her with a tense expression.
Su Sui’s long hair was pinned up at the back of her head, with only stray strands near her ears, damp with water droplets, lazily resting on her shoulders. She was wearing the simplest black bikini, revealing a sliver of her collarbone, her posture upright, and her figure gracefully curved.
For some reason, Shen Jiayan couldn’t look away and stood stunned, her mind blank, unable to react.
It was Su Sui who reached out and helped her up.
After a long while, Shen Jiayan finally found her voice, “Y-you, why are you here?”
“Didn’t you ask me to come?” Su Sui frowned slightly, seemingly displeased to see her. “What? I’m here, and you’re unhappy?”
“It wasn’t me…” Shen Jiayan started to explain that she hadn’t invited her, but the words caught in her throat.
It was likely that both she and Su Sui being there was Gao Wei’s doing.
But Su Sui still caught the implication in her words.
“It wasn’t what?”
She let go and moved her feet, cutting through the water, walking to a distance about half a meter from Shen Jiayan.
Then, she sat down in the hot spring pool, focusing all her gaze on the ripples on the water’s surface.
Shen Jiayan pursed her lips, not daring to look at her, afraid that her uncontrollable emotions would be revealed.
“Nothing,” she said, then looked down at the bluestone tiles at the bottom of the pool, remaining silent for a long time.
The atmosphere between the two became inexplicably and awkwardly strange.
After a moment,
“Su Sui.”
“Shen Jiayan.”
Both their voices sounded at the same time, and both stopped simultaneously.
Shen Jiayan’s heart suddenly beat much faster. She felt like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head, not daring to meet Su Sui’s gaze. “You speak first.”
However, this demeanor, in Su Sui’s eyes, seemed to imply that even a glance was too much.
If she didn’t want to look at her, why bother inviting her here?
“I’m leaving first; you enjoy yourself,” saying this, Su Sui stood up and started to step out of the hot spring pool.
Shen Jiayan was startled and quickly looked up to call out, “Wait a moment.”
“Something else?”
“I, I…” Shen Jiayan bit her lower lip, hesitating again and again. Mustering her courage, she looked up at Su Sui, “Can I borrow your phone to make a call?”
Let alone Su Sui’s displeased expression, even Shen Jiayan wanted to slap herself.
Shen Jiayan was extremely regretful, silently cursing herself.
But the words were already spoken and could not be taken back.
She decided to ignore Su Sui’s eyes, which seemed ready to strip her bare, and followed suit, walking out of the hot spring pool. “Your phone is in the changing room, right? I’ll go with you to get it.”
Saying this, she didn’t stop her pace, wearing her soaked dress, and walked in the opposite direction from where they came.
“Shen Jiayan!”
Responding to Su Sui’s call, Shen Jiayan felt the strap of her already drenched dress being yanked, and then her whole body was pulled backward.
Before she could react, Su Sui’s breath was crowding her nostrils.
Even the water droplets from Su Sui’s hair were dripping onto her collarbone.
The two stared at each other in silence.
But this silence could not prevent their distance from shrinking.
Their foreheads touched, nose tip to nose tip.
Even their breaths intertwined, as if merging into one.
In this moment, any further words became a burden; only their innate magnetic field remained, attracting them to each other, drawing them closer.
Shen Jiayan’s heart pounded violently.
She had never been so nervous and flustered, completely devoid of reason.
She felt like a drowning person, struggling desperately, yet unable to escape the feeling of suffocation.
All her vision was captured by Su Sui’s slightly parted red lips, as if countless tiny hooks had grown on them, pulling at her rationality.
Shen Jiayan closed her eyes, parted her lips slightly, and proactively leaned in, kissing Su Sui’s lips.
This kiss was sudden, yet it felt inevitable. Shen Jiayan even felt that her past self had been unappreciative, wasting those good times.
The kiss was not deep, but it was exceptionally sweet.
Shen Jiayan opened her eyes, her gaze sparkling, gazing at Su Sui with a look full of smiles.
Su Sui returned a smile as well.
Their smiles intertwined, giving off a sense of peaceful tranquility.
Night fell in a studio apartment in Country X, illuminated by a dim desk lamp.
Mo Chenlin sat leaning against the bed, her legs tightly pressed together, rubbing against each other.
Her eyes were fixed intently on a photo on the screen.
The woman in the photo had long, dark hair and was wearing a white dress. She looked gentle and serene, with exquisite and beautiful features, possessing a unique temperament and charm, like a blooming white magnolia noble and beautiful.
“Lin Muxi.” Mo Chenlin frowned tightly.
She uttered the name.
Immediately, her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Mo Chenlin bit her finger, trying hard to prevent herself from making any ineffable sound.
But this was counterproductive; instead, it accelerated something.
She suddenly got up, threw her phone onto the bed, and rushed into the washroom, turning on the cold water tap and vigorously washing her body with cold water.
After a long while, she let out a long sigh of relief and walked out of the washroom barefoot. However, she cast a cold glance at the phone lying on the bed, then moved to sit at the computer desk.
She opened her email inbox and checked the emails one by one.
Until she saw an email regarding the “Human Hematopoietic Stem Cell Database,” her sliding finger stopped.
This was a global human hematopoietic stem cell database established by a wealthy businessman, containing information on anyone willing to voluntarily donate bone marrow worldwide.
The original intention of the wealthy businessman, who had almost bankrupted himself to establish this database, was to treat his wife who was suffering from leukemia. And the database did not disappoint the businessman; his wife successfully received a suitable bone marrow through this database and recovered.
Because of this, the database was preserved.
However, to access its resources, one needed to provide their own hematopoietic stem cell data for future donation to others, as well as pay a substantial entry fee along with a massive membership fee.
And Su Sui’s sickly obsessed person went to the trouble of asking her, a fellow patient, for help to please her sweetheart; she really went to great lengths.
Mo Chenlin’s eyeballs moved left and right following the characters in the email.
Finally, they stopped on one name, “This is getting interesting.”
