Chapter 266: Even Dogs Want a Sip of This Salty Lemon Tea?
“Just a little bit?”
Liar. Only a fool would believe you.
If I let you come closer, are you just planning to take full advantage of me?
But Xia Changyu didn’t give up. He turned to her and promised with full confidence.
“Baiyi, you know me. I might not be good at many things, but I always keep my word.”
Lin Yibai rolled her eyes, “Really?”
Xia Changyu said, “Even more real than a pearl.”
Lin Yibai sighed lightly. She had a hard time saying no to someone who kept begging. After a long pause, she said hesitantly, “Then swear it. Swear that after you cross the line, you won’t do anything bad.”
Xia Changyu said seriously, “I swear, if I do anything bad to you, I’ll become a dog.”
When Lin Yibai heard that, she muttered, “It’s not like you haven’t already been a dog before...”
Then she sighed again, “Fine, I’m too tired to argue with you about the past. Long story short... I’ll believe in you one more time.”
Actually, she had also drunk quite a bit of alcohol. But unlike Xia Changyu, who didn’t know his limits, Lin Yibai knew how strong yellow wine could be. She had only drunk enough to feel slightly tipsy. That nice, warm, relaxed kind of feeling.
Of course, there’s a reason why people say drinking makes you do things you usually wouldn’t.
Normally, she would never agree to this. It was only because of the alcohol that she was letting her guard down now.
But it’s fine, right? Just believe in his character!
Actually, even if they were going to do it today, she wouldn’t mind. If she minded, she wouldn’t have played along from the start.
Xia Changyu wasn’t staying over here for the first time. At first, he used to sleep on the single sofa, or lay down on the floor with a blanket. Then later, when nothing ever happened, he moved to the bed. But even then, he was always by her side. He never crossed the line.
But tonight… Was this finally his chance?
After getting Lin Yibai’s permission, Xia Changyu slowly moved to the other side of the bed.
Bit by bit… just a little more…
He was so close to being able to lie right next to her.
Lin Yibai was lying on her side, her back facing him.
After a while, Xia Changyu softly asked, “Can I move just a little closer and hug you?”
All she did was let out a cold snort and say, “How old are you now? You still need to hug someone to fall asleep? Seriously, you drink a little wine and suddenly forget your own name?”
Xia Changyu: “……”
Lin Yibai: “Hmph.”
Finally, she thought that should shut him up. There’s no way he’s getting his way. No one takes advantage of me that easily.
The room fell into silence. Time slowly passed...
Was it really going to be a quiet, uneventful night?
But then, without even realizing it, Xia Changyu’s hand had somehow ended up resting on Lin Yibai’s waist.
He gently moved it, like a lost child, unsure where to go.
Left, right… up, down?
Left? Right?
Up? Down?
Only a one-in-four chance, yet fate led his hand to the most forbidden place.
Lin Yibai’s eyes suddenly shot open. Her body curled up like a shrimp. She turned to him angrily and shouted, “Are you a dog?! Didn’t you promise not to touch me?”
Xia Changyu: “Woof!”
Lin Yibai froze, shocked, “What… did you just say?”
Xia Changyu: “Woof woof!!”
Lin Yibai clenched her teeth, holding back her anger, and growled, “You... You’re seriously becoming a dog for real?!”
Xia Changyu asked back, “If I don’t become a dog, how else would I get to eat meat?”
That made Lin Yibai start to panic a little.
She had only let Xia Changyu stay over, and even drink some wine, because she thought it would be the same as before. Maybe there would be a bit of physical closeness, but definitely not going all the way, right?
She didn’t mind doing it, but... just give her a little time first!
But now things were getting out of hand. Xia Changyu must have gotten bold from drinking. Was he seriously trying to “eat meat” now?
Lin Yibai was torn. She could feel her body reacting, enjoying the closeness. She was ready physically, but mentally, she was still struggling. She hadn’t made up her mind yet.
So, in a nervous voice, she said, “Can we not ‘eat meat’? Can we just be like before?”
Xia Changyu replied, “Like before? What do you mean?”
Lin Yibai said, “Like that time... on the sofa... remember? That kind of closeness. If you’re okay with that... I just don’t think I’m ready yet. I really can’t.”
When Xia Changyu heard that, he pulled his hand back and held it up in front of her eyes.
She cursed the fact that the lights from the big city always seemed so bright. Even in a dark room with the lights off, Lin Yibai could still clearly see the shiny stains on his fingers.
It was like the stains were asking her, deep in her soul, ‘You want to do it too, right?’
Xia Changyu said, “Do you know what I want most right now?”
Lin Yibai shook her head and said, “I don’t know, and... I don’t want to know.”
Xia Changyu replied, “That wine made me feel hot... and thirsty... I want some tea.”
Whether or not he still wanted "meat" wasn’t clear. But seeing what was on his hand, now he wanted tea?
Lin Yibai panicked. “Huh? Thirsty? Then, I’ll go pour you a glass of water! Or, if you want tea... do you want Tieguanyin, Dahongpao, green tea, or Longjing?”
Xia Changyu laughed. Even though he was tipsy, he wasn’t completely drunk. He was still thinking clearly, just a bit bolder than usual.
He felt like laughing and teasing her. He said, “Are you really clueless... or are you just pretending not to understand what kind of tea I want?”
Lin Yibai: “I don’t know.”
Xia Changyu said, “I want salty lemon flavor. Any kind of tea is fine, as long as it tastes like salty lemon.”
Lin Yibai: “Huh?”
Xia Changyu repeated more clearly, “What, you still don’t get it? I said... the type of tea doesn’t matter. As long as it’s salty lemon flavored. Now do you understand?”
It was late at night. Where was she supposed to find salty lemon tea now?
At first, Lin Yibai still didn’t understand. She even thought about ordering delivery?
But very quickly she finally realized what Xia Changyu meant by "salty lemon tea."
While she was still confused, Xia Changyu had already made up his mind to “drink tea.”
He thought, ‘Why talk so much? Why explain anything? Just go drink the tea already! He also needs to make his girlfriend feel good, right?’
The next second, all the hairs on Lin Yibai’s body stood up. She felt a chill on her scalp, and her soul seemed to freeze.
She didn’t dare look down, and shouted in shock, “This... this is the salty lemon tea you meant?!”
Xia Changyu answered, “What, isn’t this salty lemon tea?”
“You... you…” Lin Yibai gritted her teeth. She wanted to resist, but tried hard to stay calm. After stammering for a long time, she finally managed to say, “Don’t drink it. Please... I’m begging you. Stop drinking the tea... it’s not healthy.”
Xia Changyu: “What’s unhealthy about it?”
Lin Yibai: “The tea... is dirty.”
Xia Changyu said, “I’m the one drinking it and I don’t mind. Why would you, the one who made the tea, mind?”
But… but still!!
Ah! Stop licking it!
