Chapter 283: Squeeze Out Every Last Drop Before Leaving
How many times in one day is too many?
Lin Yibai didn’t know, and didn’t really care, because she was enjoying her life just fine.
But who would be the one to feel satisfied first, him or her?
After finishing exams, it basically felt like the holidays had already started.
And Xia Changyu? He completely fell into a soft and sweet life. Every day was either three or five times of happiness.
But of course, good days don’t last forever.
Lin Yibai started counting the days on her fingers. “Most companies will be starting their New Year holidays soon... I guess it’s about time I go back too, right?”
She lifted the blanket, revealing a warm and sunny scene.
The bedsheets were all wrinkled and messy. The marks around the edges showed clearly that last night’s “battle” had been intense.
Then she looked at the person still lying in bed. If Lin Yibai hadn’t already gotten up, Xia Changyu probably wouldn’t have moved at all.
Ever since they started living together, it felt like he’d used up twenty years’ worth of energy. Lately, it even felt like he was borrowing from the future.
With sore muscles and a tired voice, Xia Changyu said, “It’s so cold! Why are you getting up so early?”
Lin Yibai replied, “I’m thinking… maybe I should go home soon.”
That woke Xia Changyu up instantly.
“What? You’re going home?” he asked in surprise.
Lin Yibai was already dressed. Even though she’d been through a full night of “hard work,” she thought about taking a shower. But it was too cold, so maybe later.
She started organizing what to bring home. Clothes, some books, and a few local specialty products from Fucheng.
She walked over to Xia Changyu, gently reached out, and touched his cheek. Even though they saw each other every day, she could still tell, he had gotten noticeably thinner.
With a sigh, Lin Yibai said, “Didn’t I feed you meat recently to make sure you got enough protein and nutrition? Why are you still getting thinner?”
Xia Changyu replied, “Did I?”
Lin Yibai took out a scale and said seriously, “Your eyes might lie, but the scale won’t. If you don’t believe me, step on and see for yourself.”
Xia Changyu: “......”
He finally got out of bed, looking clearly more worn-out than usual.
After washing up, he stepped on the scale. A moment later, the corner of his mouth twitched.
He usually paid attention to his body and worked out, but these days… well, he had been busy (busy doing “bad things” with his girlfriend?), so he hadn’t been keeping up with it.
This didn’t make sense, he had really lost several pounds.
Lin Yibai shook her head and looked at him with pity. “Just look at you. Haven’t you gotten a lot thinner lately?”
Xia Changyu refused to admit it. “No, I haven’t.”
Lin Yibai let out a deep sigh and said, “Do you understand the meaning of 'take your time' and 'slow and steady wins the race'?”
Xia Changyu stubbornly replied, "I'm solely focused on seizing each day."
“Are you serious? Can’t you understand basic human words? Do you seriously want to be all dried up?”
If Xia Changyu hadn't genuinely been putting in a lot of effort lately, and actually lost several pounds, Lin Yibai really would have wanted to grab his ear and give him a good scolding.
Young people... no sense of self-control.
So seriously, they couldn’t keep going like this anymore. If they did, it wouldn’t be long before Xia Changyu’s body was completely drained by Lin Yibai.
And even then, Lin Yibai thought, this still wasn’t her “final form” as a woman yet!
A full meal vs. Every meal being full.
You have to learn to find a balance, okay?
Xia Changyu didn’t want her to leave at all. But he was already running low on energy, he really didn’t have a choice.
After thinking for a while, he still asked, “I know you’re going home for the New Year. When are you leaving? If it’s not too much trouble, I can drive you back myself.”
But let’s be real, if he’s the one offering to drive, why would he ask her if it’s trouble?
Lin Yibai just didn’t think it was necessary. Even though Xia Changyu drove a fancy car, there was no need for him to drive hundreds of kilometers just to take her home and come all the way back.
Plus, with the New Year coming up, the roads would be packed. If something happened along the way, wouldn’t that be a huge regret?
She walked over to him, used her soft, slim fingers to gently lift Xia Changyu’s chin, and said, “I already bought a bus ticket for tomorrow at 1:30 in the afternoon. You don’t need to drive me home, okay?”
Xia Changyu insisted, “I really don’t mind. At most, it’s just a few hundred yuan for gas.”
Lin Yibai sat on his lap, speaking a little teasingly, “But I mind! It’s about 700 or 800 kilometers round trip from Fucheng to my hometown. It’s stressful and risky to drive that far. Do you think that sounds fun?”
Xia Changyu patted his chest and said proudly, “You should trust my driving skills. I’m really good.”
Lin Yibai couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
She complained, “Are you seriously just dumb, or are you pretending to be? I’m not as weak and delicate as you think. And do you really need me to shout out loud, ‘I care about you and don’t want you to waste your time and energy driving 800 kilometers’? Is that what you want to hear?”
Maybe… that was exactly the answer Xia Changyu had been waiting for?
He felt like the girl sitting on his lap felt even softer than usual… very full and warm.
And somehow… he suddenly wanted her again.
They say people who are physically drained may have messed-up hormones, which makes their desires even stronger. So the more tired they are, the more they want it... Is that really true?
But before anything could happen, Lin Yibai quickly pulled away.
This wasn’t her first time with him, after all. After so many times together recently, she could immediately tell what he was thinking just by his small movements.
She lifted one finger to her lips and playfully whispered, “Nope~ Not in the morning~”
Xia Changyu pointed to the bright winter sun outside and corrected her, “What are you talking about? The sun’s already high in the sky, it’s basically noon!”
But Lin Yibai crossed her arms in front of her chest and firmly said, “No means no.”
Xia Changyu cried out in frustration, “Then when can we? You’re leaving tomorrow! Aaaah!”
Lin Yibai scratched her head, like she really didn’t know what to do with him. It’s not like she disliked that kind of thing. But she believed it was important to have self-control, especially for her boyfriend’s health. She didn’t want to keep draining him like this.
She wasn’t about to let Xia Changyu die young from being… “squeezed dry.”
But looking at Xia Changyu’s pitiful face, begging so hard, Lin Yibai finally gave in with a soft heart.
She sighed and said, “Okay, since I’m going home tomorrow… I’ll let you have one more time tonight. However much you can handle, that’s up to you. I’m leaving tomorrow anyway.”
She swore she wasn’t some kind of “juice-squeezing demon” who had to drain someone before leaving.
She just had a soft heart and couldn’t resist when someone begged her like that.
Xia Changyu looked so pitiful...
Okay then, just one more time.
