Chapter 65: Pt.2

After returning home from supper, Xu Chuanchuan took another shower to get rid of the smell of barbecue.

Murong Shi spoke very little tonight, and Xu Chuanchuan worried that she had angered the other party. And because of her anxiety, she didn't write a single word for her book even though she planned to do so after returning to the room.

The two women next door were still hosting their respective live streams. However, the noise became more bearable after shutting the balcony door. In contrast, the sound of the hairdryer running as Xu Chuanchuan absentmindedly dried her hair was much noisier.

Suddenly, someone snatched the hairdryer out of Xu Chuanchuan's hand. When Xu Chuanchuan looked up and saw Murong Shi, she smiled and said, "That's fast of you."

"Mhm," Murong Shi lightly responded before using the hairdryer to dry her hair.

Neither of them spoke for a time, and an awkward atmosphere ensued.

When Murong Shi put down the hairdryer and gently combed her hair with her fingers, Xu Chuanchuan finally stopped hesitating and said, "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" Murong Shi asked with a casual expression.

Biting her lower lip, Xu Chuanchuan said, "I shouldn't have run away when you were going to dance for me. It was incredibly rude of me to do so."

Murong Shi's lips curled slightly, barely forming a smile as she said, "It's fine. Actually, I lied. I don't know how to dance at all."

Then why did you start stripping… Xu Chuanchuan thought, though she dared not bring up this topic.

Then, Murong Shi continued, "If you mind it, I can go sleep with Fang Qin tonight."

Xu Chuanchuan's heart thumped at Murong Shi's words. Then, she asked, "Why are you going to sleep with Fang Qin?"

Murong Shi gently caressed Xu Chuanchuan's cheek with the back of her hand. Then, she said, "I worry that you dare not go to sleep with me beside you."

"Why would you think that? We've slept together several times already," Xu Chuanchuan said with a stunned look on her face.

Even though Murong Shi's voice and expression were calm, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but panic because of her words.

She's not getting angry or complaining. What's going on with her? Then, Xu Chuanchuan held onto Murong Shi's hand and hurriedly added, "I don't mind sleeping together. Such a large bed should fit the two of us without a problem. Also, this is a foreign place. I'm a little scared to sleep here all by myself…"

If Murong Shi went to look for Fang Qin, Fang Qin would definitely assume that the two of them had gotten into a fight. However, in reality, their relationship was very peaceful, so peaceful that Xu Chuanchuan felt that she had made a mistake. So, she could only hold onto Murong Shi's hand tightly and plead for forgiveness with pitiful eyes.

How could Murong Shi possibly resist the assault of such eyes? After letting out a heavy sigh, Murong Shi said, "Alright, then. I won't go."

Their neighbors still weren't done making noise, and neither of them felt sleepy, so they ended up having an aimless conversation on the bed.

"Jiang Shaohua says there's going to be a concert tomorrow afternoon. All of their company's streamers will be going on stage. Do you want to go watch it?"

"I haven't written a single word today, so I'm thinking of focusing on writing tomorrow."

"Do you want me to accompany you, then?"

"You go with them. Otherwise, this trip is going to go to waste," Xu Chuanchuan replied without thinking. Then, she smiled and continued, "Just bring back something good to eat for me."

Murong Shi couldn't help but chuckle. Then, while caressing Xu Chuanchuan's soft hair, she said, "You little glutton."

Xu Chuanchuan stuck out her tongue and made a playful face. In response, Murong Shi leaned forward and pushed down Xu Chuanchuan with her lips.

"..."

Their kiss this time was different than usual. It was neither moving nor deep. Instead, it could only be considered a light peck.

Xu Chuanchuan was initially nervous about this situation. However, when she gradually tried to respond to Murong Shi's kiss, Murong Shi unexpectedly bit her tongue.

Xu Chuanchuan gasped at the sudden pain, and the mood she got into with great pains disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterward, Murong Shi "accidentally" bit Xu Chuanchuan's lower lip. Unable to focus, Xu Chuanchuan opened her eyes and pushed against the person pressed on top of her body.

Murong Shi gradually opened her eyes. Then, just as their lips were about to separate, she bit down on Xu Chuanchuan's lower lip once more.

Xu Chuanchuan finally realized that Murong Shi was doing this on purpose, so she asked with an aggrieved look on her face, "Why do you keep biting me?"

Murong Shi held Xu Chuanchuan's face with one hand and gently caressed Xu Chuanchuan's swollen lower lip with her thumb. Then, she responded with a question, "Are you afraid of pain?"

Xu Chuanchuan's eyes watered, and she flattened her mouth.

"I didn't use much strength just now."

"..."

Then, Murong Shi leaned in with her lips and said, "I'll let you bite me back."

"I don't want to," Xu Chuanchuan flatly refused. With their kiss turning into an exchange of bites, Xu Chuanchuan got out of bed in a depressed mood.

However, Murong Shi quickly held back Xu Chuanchuan with an embrace. Then, while rubbing her chin against her partner's shoulder, she said, "I'm sorry. I didn't think you were so afraid of pain."

Xu Chuanchuan harrumphed and said, "I'm even afraid of injections."

After planting a comforting kiss on Xu Chuanchuan's cheek, Murong Shi asked, "Have you been refusing to do it with me because you're afraid of pain?"

Xu Chuanchuan felt as if a bomb had suddenly gone off in her mind. Then, snapping her head toward Murong Shi, she stammered, "Y-Y-You!"

Murong Shi straightened her back and stared at Xu Chuanchuan with an unprecedentedly solemn look. Then, she said, "Don't panic. Don't try to avoid the question, either. Answer me properly."

How did we get from talking about a concert to...this?! Xu Chuanchuan did her best to calm her rapidly beating heart. However, when she saw the stern and passionate look on Murong Shi's face, she had no choice but to seriously treat Murong Shi's question.

Murong Shi did not rush Xu Chuanchuan. Only, her grip over Xu Chuanchuan had gradually gotten stronger as the silence continued for a long time.

"Are you...really that eager to do it with me?" Xu Chuanchuan asked hesitantly.

In response, Murong Shi nodded and earnestly said, "It's because I like you. I can't stop myself from wanting to do it."

Xu Chuanchuan's heart trembled slightly. Then, after pondering for a long time, she nodded with the slightest of movements.

Xu Chuanchuan was indeed afraid.

On the day after Murong Shi had gotten drunk and pushed her down onto the bed, Xu Chuanchuan had done an online search on the experiences of women who had sex for the first time.

Many people stated that it would hurt, but some also said they didn't feel any pain. This situation greatly confused Xu Chuanchuan. She was incredibly sensitive to pain, so she dared not imagine what kind of torturous pain she would go through once that membrane broke…

For this reason, every time Murong Shi tried to seduce her into having sex, Xu Chuanchuan would run away out of fear.

Murong Shi's tensed nerves relaxed when she finally got an answer. Then, holding up Xu Chuanchuan's head and looking into her eyes, Murong Shi said, "It's not that scary."

"How would you know that?" Xu Chuanchuan asked in a trembling tone.

Murong Shi broke into a smile when she saw Xu Chuanchuan's reaction. Then, she said, "Fang Qin said that it wouldn't hurt so long as the technique is right."

"You even asked her about this?" Xu Chuanchuan asked with a stiffened expression.

"She's experienced."

"..." Xu Chuanchuan hid her face out of embarrassment.

However, Murong Shi lifted Xu Chuanchuan's head once more and planted a kiss on her.

Unlike before, Murong Shi was much more patient with her kiss this time. Even so, it wasn't an intense kiss.

Xu Chuanchuan gradually relaxed amidst Murong Shi's gentle treatment. The instant Murong Shi laid her body down on the bed, Xu Chuanchuan heard a voice saying in her mind, "Here it comes."

Xu Chuanchuan anxiously held onto the person hovering above her and mentally prepared herself for what was to come.

However, Murong Shi suddenly let go of Xu Chuanchuan at this crucial moment. Then, pinching Xu Chuanchuan's dumbfounded face, she said, "Go to sleep. Good night."

…

The next day.

The sun was out, and the sky was clear. The sight alone put everyone in a happy mood. After their group of five finished lunch, Xu Xiangxiang eagerly said she was going to the beach.

Looking at the sky, Xu Chuanchuan said, "You all have fun. I'm going back for the AC."

Patting her elder sister on the shoulders, Xu Xiangxiang asked, "You're staying indoors when we came all the way to the beach? Sis, are you alright?"

Making up a casual lie, Xu Chuanchuan said, "My back hurts."

As soon as Xu Chuanchuan finished speaking, Little Yan and Fang Qin made a "hush" gesture to each other in unison.

Seeing this, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think."

"Think what?" Xu Xiangxiang asked with an ignorant expression.

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Then, Little Yan gave a thumbs up to Murong Shi and said, "Amazing!"

Murong Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this situation. Then, she said, "Stop thinking nonsense. Let's go. We'll see how the stage is coming along."

The stage for the concert was being set up on the beach some distance ahead. After seeing off Murong Shi and the others, Xu Chuanchuan turned around and returned to the villa.

Every room in the villa came with a computer specialized for streaming. The monitor was also bright and massive, and Xu Chuanchuan was a little unused to it. Fortunately, the keyboard's keycaps were sufficiently soft to the touch.

In reality, Xu Chuanchuan also wanted to have fun with the others. However, when she thought about how much work was awaiting her, she had no choice but to suppress her desires and start writing.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Chuanchuan's attention was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise.

The concert should've started, I guess.

Xu Chuanchuan stuffed her ears with a pair of earphones and played some light music she usually listened to when writing. With this, she managed to isolate the noise from her ears.

After writing for another hour, Xu Chuanchuan stood up and moved her stiff hands and feet. However, when she turned around, her body froze up immediately.

Before Xu Chuanchuan realized it, the rain had started pouring outside once more. Moreover, it was quite the heavy rain.

However, the rain wasn't the cause of Xu Chuanchuan's reaction. Instead, it was because Murong Shi currently stood drenched outside the balcony, a panicked expression on her face. Then, when Murong Shi entered the room and saw Xu Chuanchuan standing inside the room perfectly intact, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Chuanchuan gaped in shock as she looked at Murong Shi's soaked body. Then, she asked, "Why did you come in through the balcony?"

Murong Shi walked over to Xu Chuanchuan in large strides. Then, she tightly held onto Xu Chuanchuan's wrists, glared at the shorter woman with bloodshot eyes, and yelled, "Why didn't you answer my calls?! I called you over a dozen times!"

"..." Xu Chuanchuan was stunned by the unexpected anger.
