Chapter 69: Pt.1

After living together for some time, Xu Chuanchuan and Murong Shi gradually understood each other's habits. Xu Chuanchuan knew that Murong Shi would typically spend half an hour showering. So, taking advantage of the time Murong Shi was absent from the room, Xu Chuanchuan locked the door and began "learning" in earnest.

This was the first time Xu Chuanchuan had ever watched something so stimulating, so she grew so nervous that she started sweating.

She dared not be too greedy. After seeing that time was almost up, she quickly turned off the video and unlocked the door.

When Murong Shi returned, she saw Xu Chuanchuan sitting upright in front of the computer and rhythmically typing away at the keyboard. Xu Chuanchuan looked focused on her work, and nothing about her seemed out of the ordinary.

In reality, though, Xu Chuanchuan's mind wasn't on her work at all. Even her fingers were just typing out random words on the keyboard. Rather than her novels, the indescribable scenes she had just seen currently filled her mind.

Fortunately, Xu Chuanchuan had hidden her thoughts sufficiently well. At the very least, Murong Shi didn't notice any peculiarities this time.

However, to err is human.

A few days later, after Xu Chuanchuan personally verified that Murong Shi had entered the bathroom, she returned to their room, locked the door, and opened up another "research" video. Just when she was about to put on her earphones, she suddenly heard the twisting of the doorknob.

The earphones fell out of Xu Chuanchuan's hands as her soul left her body. Then, she heard Murong Shi's voice coming through the door, "Why's the door locked?"

Xu Chuanchuan quickly closed the video player and opened an empty document. Then, under Murong Shi's repeated urging, she sprinted to the door before she could sort out her flustered mood.

Murong Shi was currently wrapped in only a bath towel, exposing her thin shoulders and delicate collarbone. Her long and attractive legs were also revealed for all to see.

Xu Chuanchuan had already seen Murong Shi's undressed state many times before. Logically, she shouldn't be too surprised to see Murong Shi's current appearance. However, Xu Chuanchuan had just put herself in the mood to watch adult videos, so when she saw Murong Shi's current appearance, she couldn't help herself from drooling.

Murong Shi was too beautiful, and Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but think of pouncing on her.

However, Xu Chuanchuan quickly shook her head and reeled back her sanity. Then, she said, "You're done already?"

"I haven't started showering yet. I forgot my eyebrow razor," Murong Shi said. Then, looking at Xu Chuanchuan suspiciously, Murong Shi asked, "Why did you lock the door?"

Xu Chuanchuan's eyes wandered about in a panic. Then, she lied, "I don't know. I must've accidentally locked it."

If it were under normal circumstances, Murong Shi wouldn't have doubted Xu Chuanchuan's words. However, she had a clear understanding of her partner's weaknesses, so she could tell Xu Chuanchuan was lying at a glance.

Then, Murong Shi reached out to touch Xu Chuanchuan's face before she asked, "Why is your face so red?"

Xu Chuanchuan felt her guilty conscience growing even stronger at Murong Shi's touch. Grabbing Murong Shi's hand, she awkwardly smiled and said, "I was looking for something just now."

"What were you looking for?"

Xu Chuanchuan had a faint feeling that Murong Shi had seen through her lie already. However, she still held down her embarrassment and continued pretending, saying, "I was...looking for a clip! My bangs are blocking my eyes, so I wanted to use a clip to hold them up."

"Did you find it?" Murong Shi calmly asked.

"I didn't."

Murong Shi circled Xu Chuanchuan and walked to the table where she put her cosmetic products on. After searching through her cosmetic bag for some time, she pulled out a thin rubber band and said, "I don't have a clip, either. I only found this thing."

Xu Chuanchuan secretly sighed in relief when Murong Shi stopped questioning her. Then, she reached for the rubber band and said, "I'll use that, then."

"I'll do it," Murong Shi said, evading Xu Chuanchuan's extended hand. Half a minute later, she said, "It's done. I tied a bun for you."

"Thanks. I'll go back to writing now."

"Go ahead," Murong Shi said as she watched Xu Chuanchuan turn away. However, she did not proceed to find her eyebrow razor.

Xu Chuanchuan didn't notice a thing as she sat back in front of her computer. Then, she clicked her cursor on the blank document and rested her fingers on the keyboard. Before she could start typing, she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her, saying, "You haven't written a word even after such a long time. Did you get writer's block again?"

Xu Chuanchuan nearly had a heart attack. Then, she patted her chest and exclaimed, "You scared me!"

However, Murong Shi continued staring at Xu Chuanchuan's face without remorse before she said, "You're behaving strangely today."

"I…"

"You weren't writing. You were watching a video just now," Murong Shi interrupted as she pointed at the bottom-right corner of the monitor.

Xu Chuanchuan followed Murong Shi's finger and found the icon of a certain video player located at the bottom-right corner of her screen. Unfortunately, while she had closed the video player, the program was still running in the background, so the icon remained displayed on her system taskbar. In her panic just now, she had actually forgotten about this minor detail…

Then, putting on a forced smile, Xu Chuanchuan said, "I was slacking off just now. I'll start writing now."

However, Murong Shi held down Xu Chuanchuan's hands and said, "Is there a need to lock the door if you're only watching a video? Your face has also turned red to such an extent. What exactly were you watching?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

"I'm a little curious." Murong Shi looked at the video player's icon before turning to look at Xu Chuanchuan. Then, she asked, "Chuanchuan, is there even a need to keep secrets between us?"

…I can't hide it any longer. After taking a deep breath, Xu Chuanchuan carefully said, "Ange sent me a zipped folder some time ago."

"Hm?"

"Inside it, there were a lot of videos showing lesbians...doing that…"

"Did she take the initiative to send them to you?" Murong Shi asked with muddy emotions in her eyes.

Then, Xu Chuanchuan blushed and timidly said, "I asked her for them…"

Murong Shi subconsciously strengthened her hold over Xu Chuanchuan's hands. Then, she said in disbelief, "You've been monopolizing such interesting things?"

"Uh…"

"That's cruel of you," Murong Shi said. Then, she put on a playful smile before continuing, "Don't tell me it's because I said your skills were bad last time?"

"..." Xu Chuanchuan grew even more embarrassed at having her actions exposed. Then, while averting Murong Shi's eyes, she said, "Do you want to watch them, too?"

Murong Shi retracted her smile and pinched Xu Chuanchuan's burning cheeks. Then, she said, "I've never watched any before. I'll watch them together with you later."

Together… That won't be simple learning anymore… When Xu Chuanchuan thought of the most likely thing to happen if she watched porn together with Murong Shi, the blood in her body began pumping immediately.

Amidst her fantasies, Xu Chuanchuan suddenly felt herself being picked up. Then, Murong Shi dragged her out of the room by her waist while saying, "Let's shower together to save time."

"I haven't taken any clothes yet!" Xu Chuanchuan screamed.

"Why bother? You're going to take them off later anyway."

"..."

…

Half an hour later…

There was only one chair in the room. Xu Chuanchuan initially thought to go next door to grab the chair there, but Murong Shi picked her up and sat her on her thighs before she could do so.

After wrapping her arms around Xu Chuanchuan's waist, Murong Shi rested her chin on Xu Chuanchuan's right shoulder and said, "Let's see what types there are available."

As instructed, Xu Chuanchuan moved her mouse's cursor to a certain folder. When Murong Shi saw this folder's name, she burst out laughing and said, "How did you think of such an interesting name?"

After gently stabbing her elbow into the person behind her, Xu Chuanchuan clicked on the folder named "Foreign Language Study Materials." There were over a dozen video files inside, and all of them were named using unknown Japanese characters.

After moving her cursor across the names of the video files, Xu Chuanchuan explained with a poker face, "Because they are learning materials. Look, you can even learn Japanese from watching these."

While suppressing a smile, Murong Shi asked, "So, what have you learned after watching them for so many days?"

"Yamete, iku iku… Um, these two are the simplest and appear the most," Xu Chuanchuan said.

Puzzled, Murong Shi asked, "What do they mean?"

A slight blush appeared on Xu Chuanchuan's face when she saw the burning desire to learn in Murong Shi's eyes. Then, she said, "Yamete means 'stop, stop,' while iku iku means…"

"Means what?"

"When the women in the video are close to cumming, they would always say 'iku iku,' so I'm guessing…it probably means something along the lines of 'feeling good?'"

Murong Shi's expression became very rich for a moment. Then, her eyes darkened as she said, "You've turned naughty."

"Cough— So, are we still watching?"

"Of course."

…

Ange sent the message in the morning, and Xu Chuanchuan only saw it when she returned to the dormitory for an afternoon nap. When she opened up the screenshot, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Chuanchuan: "This is Murong."

Ange: "Isn't her account called I Love Chuanchuan? Why did it become Sensitive Little Whale?"

Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but have complex feelings when she read Ange's message. After all, the word "Sensitive" wasn't there the last time she saw Murong Shi's nickname on jjwxc's platform. It was evident that Murong Shi had changed her nickname only recently.

Xu Chuanchuan: "Just treat it as her brain having a few screws loose. o(╯□╰)o"

Ange: "Why did she give me so many Deep-waters, then? Hasn't she been treating me as her imaginary love rival all this time? Did she donate to me by mistake? Or did she take the wrong medicine?"

Although Murong Shi had never told her about this matter, Xu Chuanchuan could roughly guess the reason for her actions.

Xu Chuanchuan: "Maybe it's to thank you for sending me so many good resources. [Shy]"

Ange: "Oh? You two watched those vids together?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "[Cover face]"

Ange: "So, is your problem resolved now?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "Mostly… Don't ask. [Cover face]"

Ange: "Fine, fine, fine. I'll stop asking. Anyways, help me thank her for the Deep-waters. I'm going back to writing now."

When Murng Shi entered the room and saw Xu Chuanchuan holding onto her phone with a stupid smile on her face, she asked, "Who were you chatting with?"

Xu Chuanchuan rubbed her boiling face for a moment. Then, she moved to the other side of the bed and said, "Ange. She saw the Deep-waters you sent her. She wants me to thank you."

After climbing onto the bed and laying down sideways beside Xu Chuanchuan, Murong Shi said, "What's there to thank? I can't possibly take her things for free. By the way, transfer those videos to the laptop for me when you're free."

"Why?"

"So that I can bring them around and learn from them when it's convenient."

"...How can you talk about such perverted things with a straight face?"

In response, Murong Shi ran her palm across Xu Chuanchuan's chest ambiguously and said, "I'm talking about learning Japanese with Teacher Xu. How is that perverted?"

Wearing a mourning look, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Why did I become the teacher? You're the one who's..."

Smiling, Murong Shi gently tapped a finger on Xu Chuanchuan's lips and said, "Your moans sound much better than the women in those videos."

After letting out a cry, Xu Chuanchuan covered Murong Shi's face with a pillow and shouted, "No fooling around in broad daylight!"

Their lunch break was a precious time for resting, so Murong Shi naturally wouldn't mess around. After she was done joking, she grabbed the pillow from Xu Chuanchuan's hands and stuffed it under the shorter woman's head, saying, "Sleep."

Xu Chuanchuan quickly calmed down. Before shutting her eyes, she suddenly thought of a question. "Is Linda coming back soon?"

"Tomorrow."

"So soon?!"

Murong Shi's eyes were starting to get blurry as she nonchalantly asked, "Why are you caring about her all of a sudden?"

Turning to face Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan said, "If Linda returns, you won't be able to come up in the afternoon anymore."

Murong Shi's eyes snapped wide open, her sleepiness vanishing as she asked, "Why?"

Hihi!I just started translating a new novel titled The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice)PHA is a light-hearted novel about Alice going around solving problems and defeating enemies (mainly) pantsu/panties/female underwear. PHA isn't exactly a yuri novel, but practically all of the main cast are female. While the story is quite generic, with the only unique thing being the MC using panties as weapons, PHA has a solid and believable setting. If you have some spare time and nothing better to read, please give it a try. :)Novel Link: https://hostednovel.com/23/novel/the-tale-of-hero-alices-social-death-pantsu-hero-alice---Also, if you would like to support ABBR and read ahead, feel free to check out my patreon.Patreon Link: https://www.patreon.com/hellscytheAnd as always, thank you for reading ABBR. :)-Hellscythe, 10th July 2021p.s.For those wondering, I'll be picking up another yuri novel once ABBR ends. I still haven't decided on which yuri novel I'm gonna translate, though. If you have any recommendations, feel free to leave it in the comments (Yes, I read the comments on a daily basis) or ping me through discord. However, please make sure the novels fulfill the following requirements:1) No "death of loved ones." As in, MC and FL doesn't die at the end.2) No short stories. At least something with ~80 chapters. I still need to make a living. :(
