What Should I do After Binding the Wrong System and the Female Lead comes Knocking at my Door? - Chapter 34

“Hiss…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Ah… A-Qing, be gentle… it hurts.”

“Shouldn’t it feel comfortable?”

“…It is quite comfortable, but your hands are too strong.”

“Let’s see if you’ll still show off in the future, insisting on going mountain climbing. Now your legs can’t even handle a little pressure.”

Pei Yuanxi chuckled, unable to resist wiggling her small foot mischievously in front of Gu Qing’s eyes.

Gu Qing firmly patted Pei Yuanxi’s calf, making Pei Yuanxi cry “Ow!”

“Behave, or I won’t massage your legs anymore.”

Pei Yuanxi quieted down for a moment, then couldn’t help but say, “A-Qing, you’re so good to me.”

“The two of us are the best in the world. As for Wen Liang and Bai Zhou, they’re just nobodies.”

Gu Qing didn’t say anything, but the pressure in her hands softened a little.

“A-Qing, your legs must hurt now.”

Gu Qing: …

Not hearing Gu Qing’s reply, Pei Yuanxi stressed her words and repeated, “A-Qing, your legs really must hurt now.”

Gu Qing sighed.

“What do you want to do?”

Pei Yuanxi answered with a look of righteousness: “I think the two of us are equals. Since you’re massaging my legs, I should also massage your feet.”

“I’d be embarrassed to expose you.”

“Come on, come on, give it a try.”

Without another word, Pei Yuanxi pulled Gu Qing into her arms, then flipped over and pressed down.

Their eyes met, nose to nose, and the whole world seemed to be left with only their mutual breathing.

Gu Qing’s heart pounded like thunder. Her eyes darted, lingering on Pei Yuanxi’s eyes and lips.

Since Pei Yuanxi left last time, the two hadn’t ‘rehearsed a scene’ for a long time.

Gu Qing was a little expectant.

“Teacher Pei…”

Pei Yuanxi gently hummed in response.

Her breath brushed against Gu Qing’s cheek, bringing a trace of warmth and excitement.

“It seems Teacher Pei hasn’t checked my homework yet…”

Pei Yuanxi smoothed the hair on Gu Qing’s cheek.

“Is that so? Then, would Student Gu mind waiting obediently for Teacher Pei to check it?”

Actually, the knot in Pei Yuanxi’s heart had already untied after Gu Qing’s straightforward answer to her sister’s question during the day.

She was willing to believe that Gu Qing was serious.

Willing to truly start a relationship with Gu Qing.

Before, using the excuse of ‘rehearsing a scene’ was a form of testing when neither of them was sure of the other’s feelings.

Now, both of them knew exactly what was happening.

Doing intimate things under the pretense of ‘rehearsing a scene’ now was more like a little shared intimacy between the two of them.

Now, Gu Qing was just waiting for that final, gentle touch from Pei Yuanxi to begin the prelude of love in this small room.

Pei Yuanxi lowered her head slightly, their moist, warm breaths intertwined again.

As they deep-kissed, Pei Yuanxi’s hand slowly unbuttoned Gu Qing’s pajamas, and her lips slowly kissed down from Gu Qing’s mouth to her snow-white swan neck.

When she tried to go further down, Gu Qing gasped with a rapid breath.

“Yuanxi… stop.”

“This… this isn’t suitable here.”

Pei Yuanxi understood what Gu Qing meant. This was someone else’s house; they were only guests here. Moreover, no matter what, they couldn’t do anything in little Yiren’s room.

However…

Pei Yuanxi still panted with quick breaths, sticking out her tongue to tease Gu Qing’s earlobe.

“A-Qing… I want to…”

Gu Qing shivered, involuntarily clenching her hands.

“Yuan…xi, let me… massage your feet.”

“But, what if I want to massage something else right now?”

“Massage…”

“Massage what?”

Gu Qing was almost teased to tears by Pei Yuanxi, coaxing with a slight sob: “Feet, Yuanxi, feet.”

Pei Yuanxi was tickled by Gu Qing’s sob and couldn’t resist lightly pecking her lips.

“Alright~ We’ll massage the feet first this time. I’ll go get you a basin of hot water.”

After saying that, Pei Yuanxi stood up and impatiently took the foot basin to change the hot water.

Gu Qing lay in bed, trying to calm her breathing.

There was another reason she stopped Pei Yuanxi: she wanted their actual first time to be after her confession.

That’s right, Gu Qing had already made up her mind.

As soon as Pei Yuanxi re-accepted her ‘rehearsal’ invitation, she had decided.

She was going to tear up that fake relationship agreement with Pei Yuanxi.

And then confess her love to Pei Yuanxi.

She also had to fulfill the promise she made to Pei Yuanxi back then: if Pei Yuanxi thought clearly and was satisfied, she would wear a bunny suit for her.

She was going to do that, too.

She would confess to Pei Yuanxi while wearing the bunny suit, and then completely give herself to Pei Yuanxi.

“This silly girl…”

Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn’t help but giggle.

And at this moment, Pei Yuanxi, truly worthy of being called “silly” by Gu Qing, was still overjoyed that she could massage Gu Qing’s feet.

Pei Yuanxi, who was out boiling water, suddenly heard people talking in the courtyard.

She scratched her head and was startled when she stepped outside.

She saw Wen Liang and Bai Zhou climbed up onto the RV and were sitting there counting stars.

Pei Yuanxi: …

“What kind of romantic nonsense are you two playing at, staying up half the night?”

Bai Zhou and Wen Liang looked at Pei Yuanxi in confusion, making Pei Yuanxi feel uneasy.

Surely these two didn’t hear anything they shouldn’t have?

She and A-Qing had been very quiet.

Bai Zhou quietly mumbled to Wen Liang: “That fast?”

Wen Liang also looked a little surprised.

“That shouldn’t be right. Yuanxi looks quite strong.”

Bai Zhou shook her head: “You don’t understand. It’s ‘you can know a person’s face, but not their bottom’ (a play on words, a euphemism for ‘submissive’).”

Pei Yuanxi stared at the two people who were gossiping right in front of the person involved, her face darkened.

“What are you two fantasizing about? A-Qing was just massaging my legs!”

“Bai Zhou, you’ve completely let yourself go, haven’t you? Now you ‘get it,’ haven’t you? You’re no longer that ‘saying one thing but meaning another’ straight woman, are you?!”

“And you, Wen Liang, what is it? Did Bai Zhou forgive you? Are you Bai Zhou’s lapdog? Does she show you a little kindness, and you have to follow her around and cooperate?!”

Bai Zhou & Wen Liang: …

The two of them were stunned by Pei Yuanxi’s scolding.

Pei Yuanxi felt much better after that. Hearing the kettle whistle, she coldly snorted and eagerly went to pour the hot water.

Bai Zhou poked Wen Liang: “Is she on her period?”

Wen Liang mused: “It looks like it.”

The two, who were trying to shift the topic, felt somewhat dull after Pei Yuanxi exposed them.

Bai Zhou sat on the roof of the car, hugging her knees, her head buried in her lap, and quietly asked, “Have you always liked me?”

Wen Liang gently hummed in affirmation.

“Then why didn’t you just tell me? Why use that method?”

“I’m sorry.”

Bai Zhou sighed: “It’s already happened. Saying this is useless.”

“I will take full responsibility.”

Bai Zhou blinked her big eyes at Wen Liang: “Can I trust you?”

Wen Liang slowly put her arm around Bai Zhou’s shoulder: “You can always trust me.”

Bai Zhou leaned into Wen Liang’s embrace and smirked where Wen Liang couldn’t see.

She knew Pei Yuanxi would definitely tell Wen Liang her plan.

After all, these few people had a track record.

But so what?

What if she clearly let Wen Liang know?

The person who fell in love first now was Wen Liang, not her, Bai Zhou.

In a relationship, the person who falls in love first is always the loser.

She didn’t believe Wen Liang wouldn’t fall for the trap. As expected, Wen Liang took the bait.

Is it just acting?

Who else can’t do that?

She had told Wen Liang before: acting was the least noteworthy of her many talents.

And Wen Liang, holding Bai Zhou, also curled her lips.

She certainly knew that Bai Zhou knew that she knew Bai Zhou’s plan…

So, since Bai Zhou made her move, why shouldn’t she accept the challenge?

There are never any losers in love.

Moreover, if Bai Zhou wanted to make a move, she would inevitably invest real emotions.

She didn’t believe that Bai Zhou, once truly invested, would be willing to end this relationship. She was confident she could make Bai Zhou genuinely fall in love with her.

The two, each harboring their own hidden motives, leaned against each other late into the night.

And the equally scheming Pei Yuanxi had already adjusted the water temperature and was about to massage A-Qing’s feet.

Looking at the impatient Pei Yuanxi, Gu Qing felt helpless.

“Yuanxi, do you… have some kind of weird fetish?”

Pei Yuanxi righteously refuted: “I don’t. I’m just afraid your legs and feet will hurt when you wake up tomorrow.”

Gu Qing: …

I’d believe you if you let go of my foot while saying that.

In the lamplight of the room, Gu Qing’s ankle was bathed in a warm hue. Her pair of delicate feet were fair and slightly pink, and the top of her feet was as smooth and fine as mutton-fat jade. Her round toes were pink and playful.

“Do they look good?”

Pei Yuanxi nodded subconsciously.

When she realized what she did, she almost wanted to slap herself.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Gu Qing chuckled twice, “Yuanxi, are you a Foot Fetishist (a play on words, as the word in Chinese means ‘Warden’)?”

Pei Yuanxi thought for a moment, her gaze unconsciously drawn to the jade-like feet soaking in the hot water.

Hiss… who turned on my aimbot?!

Oh no, could she really be a Foot Fetishist?!

“Ahem… Actually, I can explain.”

Gu Qing held out her hand, gesturing for Pei Yuanxi to begin her spiel.

“Du Mu from the Tang Dynasty has a poem called ‘Ode to Socks,’ with two lines that go: ‘The measuring ruler cuts four fen less, the delicate jade-like shoots are wrapped in light cloud.'”

“If you haven’t heard that one, you know Tao Yuanming, right?”

“In his ‘Ode to Leisurely Sentiment,’ he says: ‘I wish to be the silk that makes the shoes, to accompany the pure feet and walk together!'”

Gu Qing wanted to say that she was a time-traveler and that their cultures were different, so she didn’t know anything Pei Yuanxi was talking about.

However, Gu Qing still pretended to understand and nodded.

Pei Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that she had bluffed her way through.

She knew, of course, that Gu Qing didn’t understand the culture of this world. If Gu Qing did understand, she would realize that everything she quoted was about men.

Sigh, actually, she really wasn’t a Foot Fetishist.

It was entirely due to her affection for everything related to Gu Qing.

When you love someone, you cherish every part of them as a treasure.

Especially since little Student Gu Qing’s small feet were so incredibly cute.

People always feel affection when they see small and exquisite things.

The combination of the two made her, Pei Yuanxi, look like a pervert!

Besides, she also loved A-Qing’s slender, boneless calves!

Pei Yuanxi lifted A-Qing’s calves out of the water, dried them, and placed them on the bed, clapping her hands, ready to show off her skills.

Gu Qing’s thoughts, however, were drifting elsewhere.

As Pei Yuanxi massaged, she noticed that Gu Qing’s attention wasn’t on her at all, so she deliberately tickled Gu Qing’s sole.

Gu Qing, startled by Pei Yuanxi’s sudden attack, couldn’t help but curl her toes and kick upward forcefully.

Pei Yuanxi watched as the jade-like foot enlarged right in front of her eyes, grew bigger, and finally hit her nose.

“Ow!”

Wen Liang and Bai Zhou, counting stars in the courtyard, were startled.

Bai Zhou looked around confused: “A wolf?”
