The Mad/Beautiful Movie Queen Heard My Inner Voice After Losing Her Memory - Chapter 23
Chapter 23
“Ah! Wait a second!”
Fu Wenchen’s hands gripped the ladder, her slender white legs trembling. Her feet were on the fourth rung, and she couldn’t maintain her balance.
Yu Guiyao was supporting her by the buttocks, looking confused. “What’s wrong?”
“What do you think?” Fu Wenchen frowned, her cheeks flushed. She pressed her legs together and shot a gentle glare at the girl. “It hurts…”
At those words, Yu Guiyao’s face reddened instantly. She pulled her hand back, her fingertips trembling. She figured she must have pushed too hard just now, and Fu Wenchen was currently sensitive enough to feel pain at the slightest touch.
She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, let’s go buy the medicine right away…”
But without Yu Guiyao’s support, Fu Wenchen couldn’t stand steadily. Seeing her about to fall, Yu Guiyao had no choice but to reach up with both hands to steady her waist. That waist was so thin and soft; separated only by a thin shirt, she could feel the scorching heat of the girl’s palms.
Fu Wenchen instinctively arched her back, clinging tightly to the ladder. A small surge of transparent fluid immediately soaked through her clothes. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, her breathing growing heavy.
Perhaps her obsession was too deep. After seven years apart, she had dreamed of being with her every single night. Now that she had finally found her, she was far more sensitive than before—she could barely tolerate even a tiny touch.
Fu Wenchen opened her eyes, which were brimming with tears. Her lips were vivid red, like ripe cherries begging to be bitten. She looked down at the girl piteously. “My legs are weak, I can’t climb up…”
Met with that gaze, a wave of numbness shot up Yu Guiyao’s spine. Her throat felt parched. She quickly stepped up two rungs, steadying the ladder with one hand and holding the woman’s waist with the other. “Try to use your strength; I’ll help you up.”
“Mmm.” Fu Wenchen couldn’t help but smile, leaning her entire body into the girl’s embrace.
They were extremely close, their long hair tangling together. Yu Guiyao was two steps lower, and as she focused on her, her breath brushed intermittently against the woman’s ear. Being stared at like that made Fu Wenchen feel even more weak; she was practically carried up by that one strong arm.
Her feet were on the steps, but her legs had no strength. Only her soft waist was held tight by the woman, and with a little lift, she was boosted to the next rung. She panted slightly, her face scarlet. It was just climbing a ladder, yet she looked as if she had been through something intense, her back damp with sweat.
When they finally reached the top of the wall, Fu Wenchen let out a sigh of relief. For a few seconds just now, her mind had uncontrollably fantasized—fantasized about the other holding her from behind, loving her right there on the ladder, kissing her neck, peeling away the shirt, and reaching into that dam that had long since overflowed to open the valve and enter…
Thinking of this, she stole a glance at the girl. Her eyes were teary, and her cold, elegant face seemed stained with a layer of rouge. Her arched eyebrows, deep eyes, high bridge of the nose, and slightly swollen lips made her look exquisitely beautiful.
Behind her, the blue sky and white clouds made her look even more radiant. The sea breeze tossed her dark hair. Her shirt had somehow come undone by three buttons, revealing a shoulder and the white hollow of her cleavage. The scene was as beautiful as a high-end photoshoot, enough to drive anyone mad.
Yu Guiyao’s ears turned red the moment she saw this. She leaned in to pull the woman’s clothes back together. Fu Wenchen, however, mistook the gesture for a kiss and proactively tilted her head up, kissing her with a smile.
With a soft ‘pop’, their red lips met. Fu Wenchen sucked once and quickly pulled away. Yu Guiyao was dazed, her face burning. She immediately looked down, adjusted the shirt, and buttoned it up.
The sounds of the crowd came from the front yard. Fu Wenchen wanted to tease her, but Yu Guiyao suddenly jumped down from the wall and reached out to her. “Quick, jump down. I’ll catch you.”
At that moment, the warm light enveloped her tall frame like a young poplar tree. She stood with her arms outstretched, her eyes shimmering with a light that made the heart ache and eyes sting.
Fu Wenchen remembered many years ago when they used to skip class like this. Back then, the other would always reach out like this, smiling with curved eyes: “A-Chen, jump down quickly~”
The only difference was that back then, the girl wore a school uniform—pure and green. Now, she wore a shirt and jeans that hugged her mature body. She was even more beautiful than before, and the strength of her embrace was more powerful, making Fu Wenchen go soft and soak through her clothes every time. Not just with sweat, but with the products of her body’s excitement…
Fu Wenchen jumped and was caught firmly. Their bodies collided, and she couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. Yu Guiyao panicked, holding her waist. “Did I hit you too hard? Does it hurt?”
“Mmm…” She wrapped her arms around the girl’s neck and buried her face in her hair, the desire in her eyes refusing to fade. “Take me to your secret base, okay?”
Yu Guiyao was about to comfort her when she heard that request. She looked down and, remembering the woman’s previous words, blushed and refused. “It’s very far. If you want to apply the medicine, it’s better to do it nearby. Doesn’t it hurt a lot?”
“I can endure it!” Fu Wenchen looked up, her eyes red and tearful. She complained, “Are you really going to pick some random toilet to help me apply medicine? I’ll make sounds… people will hear…”
She reached out to stroke the girl’s ear, her fingertips sliding down to touch the mole on her neck. Yu Guiyao’s ears were scarlet, her body heating up involuntarily. She pulled the woman’s hand away and whispered, “We could go to the health center…”
She trailed off, realizing that wouldn’t work either. Especially with Fu Wenchen’s face—she’d draw a crowd anywhere. At this, Fu Wenchen acted understanding. “How about this? If you don’t want to, we won’t kiss. We’ll just apply the medicine.”
“Really?” Yu Guiyao relaxed instantly. After seeing the woman nod, she let out a huge sigh of relief. She was still reeling from how fast their relationship was moving. She couldn’t actually take her to the secret base to kiss and carry on, could she? What would that make her? Hearing that it was just for medicine made her feel much better. She smiled at the woman.
Fu Wenchen smiled back, though her eyes held a hidden depth. Once we get there, who says what will happen? She couldn’t help but touch the girl’s ear again. “Carry me on your back. I can’t walk.”
“Okay.” Yu Guiyao thought she was a great boss and a very suitable partner. She immediately crouched down.
Fu Wenchen climbed onto her back and hooked her arms around her neck, her cheeks slightly flushed. She felt wonderful. But the moment Yu Guiyao lifted her by the buttocks, she let out a sharp, low cry.
“What is it? Does it hurt?” Yu Guiyao turned her head in concern.
Fu Wenchen hugged her neck tighter, her hot breath blowing into her ear. She nodded with a red face, biting her lip. “Mmm… this posture… it’s pulling at it. It’s very sensitive. It hurts and it’s uncomfortable…”
Yu Guiyao’s face burned. She moved to set her down. “Then I’ll carry you in my arms instead.”
“It’s fine!” Fu Wenchen clamped her legs around the girl’s waist, pressing her body tightly against her back. “It’s okay. It just hurt when you touched me just now…”
Before she could finish, Yu Guiyao moved her hands from the woman’s buttocks to her thighs, her ears turning deep red. She walked forward with her head down, apologizing, “I didn’t think… I’ll be careful next time…”
To her surprise, Fu Wenchen laughed and whispered into her ear: “It’s fine. You know about the body’s defense mechanism, right? The one where a foreign object invades and it automatically secretes liquid to make the body more comfortable? I was in pain earlier, so I secreted liquid. It’ll stop hurting in a bit~”
Wait, wait, wait—is this something people actually say out loud?! Yu Guiyao’s breathing became chaotic. She remembered thinking about this earlier in the bathroom; since there was so much liquid, she had assumed it was because of the pain. Her hands shook, and she felt flustered. She feigned ignorance. “I’ve never heard of that…”
“It makes sense you haven’t, because that’s ‘sex knowledge’~” Fu Wenchen laughed softly against her ear.
Yu Guiyao nearly exploded. S-sex knowledge?! No way, shouldn’t it be “pain science”?
Hearing her thoughts, Fu Wenchen found it even more amusing. She pinched the girl’s ear and whispered, “Because of the intrusion, the channel is stimulated, so it secretes liquid. Pain is a type of stimulation, but pain alone isn’t enough to produce that much liquid. Most of it comes from liking someone, from excitement, and…”
“And what?” Yu Guiyao’s neck was scarlet. For some reason, she already knew the answer, but couldn’t help asking.
Fu Wenchen leaned in as if to kiss her, whispering, “…and desire.”
At that answer, Yu Guiyao’s face went up in flames. So, back in the bathroom… all that water on the sink counter was because… because she liked her hand? Because she liked her digging around for the toy? Or because the vibrating pillar turned her on?
Her mind was a mess, her body growing hotter as she walked toward the sea. The beach was undeveloped, the sun shimmering on the waves. She walked across the sand with the woman on her back, the gentle sea breeze helping to cool her down.
But then Fu Wenchen hugged her tighter, her slender legs swaying slightly. She teased, “Don’t be shy. I like you; it’s normal to have that reaction~”
“I’m not shy,” Yu Guiyao insisted stubbornly. But then the woman suddenly kissed her neck. The soft sensation felt like a branding iron. Yu Guiyao flinched, and Fu Wenchen rubbed her cheek against hers, her voice full of affection:
“Yu Guiyao, do you believe in love at first sight? You probably don’t. But for some reason, the first time I saw you, I liked you immensely. It was like I’d known you for a long time. I don’t reject your touch at all; in fact, I love it. I want to be closer and closer to you…”
Her voice was soft, carried by the sea breeze. It made the heart feel numb. Yu Guiyao looked at the ocean. For some reason, it felt as if the woman had read her mind. Her heart was racing. Maybe… I fell for her at first sight too?
That thought reached Fu Wenchen’s ears, making her eyes sting with emotion. She hugged her tighter. “I like you so much…”
Yu Guiyao’s face felt hotter than ever. She thought that perhaps love really didn’t care about time or place. When you meet the right person, you just know. Her thoughts drifted. Fu Wenchen smiled, resting her cheek on the girl’s shoulder. Their shadows overlapped on the sand as the waves rolled in. In that moment, Fu Wenchen felt as if time had stopped.
Eventually, they reached their destination. But then, a ringtone sounded from the bag hanging on Yu Guiyao’s wrist. She set Fu Wenchen down.
Fu Wenchen was stunned by the scenery. It was a hidden paradise at the edge of the sea. Past the rocks was a cave, and outside it, a stream flowed into the ocean. Wildflowers of all colors grew along the banks. A tall peach tree stood by the cave, its pink petals falling like snow. Beneath it was a swaying swing with bells that chimed in the breeze.
“How did you find this place?” Fu Wenchen asked, smelling the fragrance.
“I developed it little by little. I planted the tree, I dug the stream… When life gets stressful, you need a beautiful view to heal.” Yu Guiyao smiled and handed her the phone. “It’s for you.”
“Your stress must be quite high then—toys, secret bases…” Fu Wenchen saw the unknown number and didn’t want to answer. She teased, “You don’t usually use your toys here, do you? Since you’re afraid Grandma will hear you at home.”
Yu Guiyao’s face turned red again as she shoved the phone at her. “Just answer it, it might be important.”
Fu Wenchen complied and answered. A woman’s voice, raspy from crying, came through: “Wenchen… do you have a girlfriend? Impossible! You said you’d wait for me! I’m back in the country today; I’m at the airport. Do you know how sad I was seeing your post? You’re just doing this to make me angry, right? I shouldn’t have left without a word… I’m back now, come pick me up, okay?”
Fu Wenchen wanted to hang up immediately, but she heard Yu Guiyao’s thoughts:
Back in the country? Waiting for her? Is this the legendary Gu Ruoqin? Am I about to witness some major drama?!
Yu Guiyao’s eyes were shining with gossip. Fu Wenchen was furious. We’re currently dating—shouldn’t you be jealous?!
