Chapter 70: Pt.1

Ever since they started living together, Murong Shi would rarely return to her home. Though, she would still occasionally return with Xu Chuanchuan to have a meal with her family.

Initially, Xu Chuanchuan found these home visits to be quite embarrassing. However, after experiencing Aunt Lian's and Murong Mingshu's sincerity and enthusiasm, she felt like she was returning to her own home when visiting Murong Shi's house.

Meanwhile, after finishing their meal, they would either return to the company if it was still early or stay the night if it was late.

…

On a certain Friday night…

Murong Shi's room was very spacious. There was even a hanging chair placed by the room's window wall. When Xu Chuanchuan curled herself up inside it, emptied her head of thoughts, and looked out at the mesmerizing night view outside, she found herself feeling at ease.

At this time, Murong Shi quietly approached Xu Chuanchuan and asked, "Are you asleep?"

In response, Xu Chuanchuan deliberately shut her eyes and said, "Don't disturb me. I'm dreaming."

Bending down, Murong Shi smiled and asked, "What are you dreaming? Am I in your dream?"

"Who are you?"

Murong Shi leaned forward, her breath gently hitting Xu Chuanchuan's face. Then, pretending to be upset, she said, "You ungrateful little thing. Who do you think I am?"

Murong Shi opened a thin slit in her eyes to sneak a peek. Then, she held the face of the person in front of her and started feeling around with her hands, playing the role of a blind person as she said, "How strange. You look like my girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend?" Murong Shi played along with Xu Chuanchuan's act.

"That's right. You look as beautiful as her."

"Then…how about ditching your girlfriend and coming with me?"

"To where?"

Although their play was going well, Murong Shi had lost her patience. Immediately, she inserted her hands into Xu Chuanchuan's armpits and picked the latter up, saying, "To the shower, you lazy pig. Are you still going to sleep or not?"

Xu Chuanchuan chuckled and opened her eyes. However, when she felt her body suddenly being lifted off the chair, she let out a cry and held onto Murong Shi's neck. "My god, I just realized you're much stronger than me!"

After firmly holding onto Xu Chuanchuan's buttocks, Murong Shi said, "All the food you've normally eaten has gone to waste."

Snorting, Xu Chuanchuan pinched Murong Shi's slender arms and said, "Your arms are just as thin as mine. Between the two of us, who do you think will win if we fight?"

"Why must we fight?"

"It's just a hypothetical situation."

Laughing, Murong Shi said, "You'll win regardless of whether it is hypothetical."

"Why?" Xu Chuanchuan asked in surprise.

In response, Murong Shi sighed and said, "Silly, how would I be willing to hit you?"

Xu Chuanchaun was slightly stunned. Then, she hugged Murong Shi even more tightly and smiled, saying, "I feel so happy— What should I do?"

"What do you mean?"

After burying her head into Murong Shi's soft and fragrant breasts, Xu Chuanchuan lowered her voice and said, "My parents were constantly busy with work when I was young, so they didn't have time to take care of me. They even left Xiangxiang's upbringing to me. My grandma also has a patriarchal attitude, so he doesn't like me. To make matters worse, I often got into fights with my little sister back then. Hah—

"Nobody has ever loved me as much as you throughout my life. You make me feel…"

Xu Chuanchuan paused twice in her speech. Her tone also sounded somber. Growing a little worried, Murong Shi looked down at her lover's hidden face and asked, "Are you crying?"

"I'm not crying. Why would I cry?" Xu Chuanchuan was adept at regulating her emotions, and she reverted to her usual tone in the blink of an eye. Then, she kissed Murong Shi and giggled, saying, "Murong, being with you makes me feel like an elder sister is pampering me."

Xu Chuanchuan's words instantly ruined the sensational atmosphere. Putting on a slight frown, Murong Shi asked, "I'm your elder sister?"

"I said you 'feel like' one."

"Yet, you're even having sex with me?"

This time, it was Xu Chuanchuan's turn to lose her composure. Then, she said, "You're so disgusting!"

In response, Murong Shi revealed a sinister smile and said, "There's something even more disgusting. Now, this elder sister is going to help her little sister shower."

Gently hammering Murong Shi's chest with her fists, Xu Chuanchuan shouted, "Stop with the nonsense!"

The Japanese films Ange shared came in a large variety of perverseness. Coincidentally, there was one animated film that showed a pair of sisters falling into depravity together. At the time, Xu Chuanchuan dared not watch the film. Now, though, she couldn't help but wonder whether Murong Shi had secretly watched it behind her back.

Regardless, Xu Chuanchuan was now determined to remove all of those research materials from both her PC and Murong Shi's laptop. After all, it was simply too embarrassing to keep these things around!

When the couple was done showering, they began doing indescribable activities on the bed while naked. However, in the heat of the moment, the sound of knocking came from the door all of a sudden.

Xu Chuanchuan gasped immediately and subconsciously clamped her thighs shut. Then, she held up Murong Shi's waterfall-like hair with her hands and stammered, "S-Someone's here!"

Murong Shi's eyes were filled with turbulent emotions when Xu Chuanchuan lifted her head. Then, while pressing her cheeks against Xu Chuanchuan's calves, she said, "It's fine. I locked the door."

The knocking sound suddenly stopped, and the person outside the room asked, "Are you two asleep?"

Xu Chuanchuan held her breath.

Meanwhile, Murong Shi calmed her breathing and said, "Not yet. What's the matter, Aunt Lian?"

"Your father is back. I just made some supper for him. Do you two want to have some as well?" Aunt Lian asked.

"Are you hungry?" Murong Shi asked Xu Chuanchuan.

Feeling her body temperature dropping, Xu Chuanchuan covered herself with the blanket and shook her head.

Then, Murong Shi raised her voice and said to the door, "We're not eating, so no need for the trouble. Rest earlier, Aunt Lian."

"Alright, alright," Aunt Lian said and walked away, the sound of footsteps gradually growing distant.

After Aunt Lian's footsteps disappeared completely, Xu Chuanchuan began picking up her scattered clothes in a hurry.

"What are you doing?" Murong Shi held onto Xu Chuanchuan's wrist.

"I don't want to do it anymore," Xu Chuanchuan said aggrievedly.

"You don't want to? Are you for real?"

Nodding timidly, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Big Sister, that close call just now thoroughly scared the hell out of me."

"..."

Having sex in someone else's house certainly wasn't a safe endeavor. Even with the door locked, Xu Chuanchuan still couldn't feel safe.

…

As they chose to stay at the Murong household for the weekend, Murong Shi lent Xu Chuanchuan the laptop in the study for work. When lunchtime arrived, they went downstairs to eat together with Murong Mingshu and Aunt Lian.

Aunt Lian had made a table full of delicacies, and she enthusiastically served food into Xu Chuanchuan's bowl one after another.

Flattered by the gesture, Xu Chuanchuan said, "That's enough, that's enough. Any more, and I won't be able to finish, Aunt Lian."

Murong Mingshu smiled at this sight and said, "She's just worried that you're too cautious. We don't normally have guests visiting our house, and Little Shi only has you and Fang Qin as friends, so make sure to visit more often in the future. You can think of this place like your own home."

Murong Mingshu was drastically different from the noble lady Xu Chuanchuan thought her to be. She did not put on any airs, and her temper was mild. Nevertheless, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but be moved by the older woman's last sentence, and her eyes heated up as she opened her mouth to say something.

However, Murong Shi placed something into Xu Chuanchuan's bowl at this time, interrupting Xu Chuanchuan's thoughts. When Xu Chuanchuan looked down, she found that it was a piece of chilled okra.

Then, Murong Shi put on a meaningful smile as she said, "You should eat more of this. It's good for strengthening the yang within you."[1]

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

"What would a girl need to strengthen her yang for?" Murong Mingshu scoffed. "Little Shi, you're speaking nonsense again."

"That's right. Only boys need to strengthen their yang," Aunt Lian added. Then, she changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Chuanchuan, do you have a boyfriend?"

Although Xu Chuanchuan had visited several times already, the two elders had never asked about her private matters before. And while the current question was a very normal one, Xu Chuanchuan found herself unable to answer.

After all, there was no way Xu Chuanchuan could provide an adequate answer. If she were to answer "yes," she would be lying to the two elders who had treated her kindly thus far. On the other hand, if she were to answer "no," it would put her into a bind if Aunt Lian tried to recommend a boyfriend to her.

In the end, Xu Chuanchuan glanced at Murong Shi for help. Unfortunately, Murong Shi did not give her any instructions. So, after mentally struggling with herself for a while, Xu Chuanchuan said, "....No."

"Why not? Aren't your parents anxious for you to find one?" Aunt Lian asked.

Xu Chuanchuan's parents were indeed anxiously waiting for her to get a boyfriend. Her mother would even call her sometimes to ask her about her relationship situation. After letting out a dry laugh, Xu Chuanchuan held back her embarrassment and said, "There's no point in rushing such things."

Upon hearing Xu Chuanchuan's answer, Aunt Lian hurriedly said, "That's true. You can't rush relationships. You need to open your eyes and carefully choose the right man for you."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly agreed before picking up the chilled okra with her chopsticks and putting it into her mouth.

Meanwhile, Murong Mingshu sighed and said, "Girls nowadays are becoming more and more independent. In my generation, we would get married as soon as possible." Then, she turned to Murong Shi and continued, "But I guess that's also a good thing. I never liked Little Shi's previous boyfriend. I knew he was a fickle person at a glance. Thankfully, they broke up in the end."

"Why are you bringing him up? Let's eat," Murong Shi said, unwilling to continue on this topic.

Knowing her daughter's temper, Murong Mingshu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. We won't talk about him."

After successfully dodging a bullet, Xu Chuanchuan returned to Murong Shi's room and asked, "I never really asked, but what exactly is your relationship with Jiang Shaohua?"

In response, Murong Shi nonchalantly said, "There's nothing between us. We were just using each other."

"It seems to be raining," Xu Chuanchuan said as she pointed at the drizzle outside. "Sleeping in weather like this is the best."

Walking over and embracing Xu Chuanchuan from behind, Murong Shi asked, "Do you want to have an afternoon nap?"

"...We woke up at eleven."

"Should we go window shopping, then? My mom and Aunt Lian will probably start growing suspicious if we keep staying cooped up in the room."

After Xu Chuanchuan gave the matter some thought, she nodded to Murong Shi's suggestion. Then, they grabbed the umbrella and left the house.

Initially, Murong Shi was the one holding the umbrella. However, as she was too tall, rainwater carried by the wind kept on landing on the two of them. Finally, after getting fed up with this situation, Xu Chuanchuan snatched the umbrella out of Murong Shi's hand and said, "I'll hold it."

When Xu Chuanchuan held the umbrella, the umbrella was indeed able to shield both of them from the rain. However, the umbrella's lowered elevation also resulted in Murong Shi having her vision blocked. Then, Murong Shi complained, "I can't see."

"Just follow my footsteps," Xu Chuanchuan said with a delighted smile.

As soon as Xu Chuanchuan finished speaking, she felt two arms wrapping around her waist. Then, she heard Murong Shi speaking into her ear, "It's our first time strolling in the rain. Isn't it romantic?"

"It's not romantic."

"How so?"

"You're heavy. Also, you're wearing heels, so you're making me look short."

In response, Murong Shi smiled and said, "I'm the elder sister while you're the younger sister, so it's not strange for me to be taller."

Xu Chuanchuan was momentarily rendered speechless by Murong Shi's reasoning. Then, she said, "But you're not my blood-related sister."

Narrowing her eyes, Murong Shi said, "If I'm not your blood-related sister, why were you calling me so passionately last night?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Because a certain person didn't get to satisfy her desires that night, the two of them ended up roleplaying as sisters afterward. This play also continued even after they returned to the company dormitory.

When Xu Chuanchuan went to the restroom one day, she came across Murong Shi in the corridor. Although Linda wasn't present, Xu Chuanchuan still respectfully greeted Murong Shi, saying, "Miss Murong."

Then, Murong Shi caressed Xu Chuanchuan's face and said, "What's with the fact? There's no need to be so polite between sisters."

"..." Xu Chuanchuan's lips twitched. After looking around and making sure that nobody else was nearby, she said, "Wah, Big Sis, the lipstick you're using today looks so nice!"

"Do you want to try it on as well?" Murong Shi asked, her right hand holding up Xu Chuanchuan's chin and her passionate eyes staring at Xu Chuanchuan's lips. Then, she started leaning forward.

Xu Chuanchuan paled when she realized Murong Shi's intentions. Immediately, she patted Murong Shi's hand aside and took a step back. Then, she warned in a low voice, "Are you not scared of getting seen by others?!"

Murong Shi chuckled in response. Then, she stepped aside and said, "Go on, don't hold it in for too long."

Xu Chuanchuan sent Murong Shi a glare and quickly left for the restroom.

Xu Chuanchuan thought this was only a small interlude, so she didn't focus on it.

One afternoon, Xu Chuanchuan woke up from her afternoon nap and groggily made her way to the bathroom. On her way there, she came across Linda, and the two of them politely greeted each other with a smile.

Before leaving through the front door, Linda halted her footsteps and looked at Xu Chuanchuan. Then, she hesitantly said, "Little Xu, are you and Miss Murong…"

"Hm?"

At this critical moment, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted their conversation.

When Xu Chuanchuan held up her phone and saw the words "Big Jealous Bug" displayed on the screen, she guiltily glanced at Linda.

Meanwhile, Linda tacitly said, "It's fine. I'll take my leave first."
