Chapter 284: So Pitiful, Let’s Leave Him One Drop!
How much can a guy really handle, anyway?
Xia Changyu kept going until late at night. After all, Lin Yibai had already said, he could ask for as much as he wanted. However much he could take, she would give.
Xia Changyu wished he could take out a loan.
Even if it meant paying a lot of interest, he wanted to make up for the next ten days, or even half a month, all at once. But now, he had used up all his strength.
“Hoo~”
“Huff, huff~”
Lin Yibai looked thoughtful and, though she was also tired, asked, “Is it finally over?”
To be honest, even if you’re not moving much, you still get tired.
Come on, if someone’s moving your legs around over and over, you’d get tired too!
Lin Yibai actually wanted to move a bit, but some people either didn’t want her to, or were too scared to let her move too much. Every time she tried to do a little more, that person already needed a break.
Right now, Xia Changyu was completely exhausted.
Still trying to act tough, and not wanting to lose, he breathed heavily and forced a calm voice. “If you let me rest a little more, I think... I should still be able to go on!”
“You?” Lin Yibai wasn’t trying to put him down, but she genuinely thought it would be smarter to save energy for later. She whispered, “Come on, if you keep pushing like this, you’re going to bleed next.”
Xia Changyu: “Impossible. That’s not going to happen.”
Lin Yibai said, “You’re going way too crazy right now. You need to learn how to control your desires, okay?”
Xia Changyu, looking drained, defended himself. “But for you, I don’t want to waste even a second. And besides, you’re not a guy, how would you know that going too far could really make me bleed?”
You’re not a guy, so you don’t get it.
Lin Yibai almost laughed. She didn’t get it?
What a joke. On the day she decided to become a girl, she was way crazier than Xia Changyu is right now. She had gone nonstop by hand for a whole day and night, you hear?
So not only did she understand, she really understood.
With a small snort, she asked, “Since it started at 10:40 last night and it’s already past 2 a.m. now, if you’re really sure you want to keep going, then fine. We can go until 3 a.m., and then it’s time to sleep.”
Xia Changyu was struggling, but he still tried to keep a straight face. “Okay, okay. Just give me a bit more time... I’ll be ready soon.”
Lin Yibai gave him a long look. She had a feeling he really was close to his limit.
Altogether, it had been nearly three hours.
Even if you weren’t doing anything else, just lifting and moving someone’s legs around is still really tiring, right?
This kind of thing is way more exhausting than a workout!
After a long sigh, she finally said, “Maybe... we should save the rest for another time. I’m tired now too. And I have to catch a bus tomorrow! I really need to sleep... Let’s leave it for now, okay?”
In the end, Lin Yibai kept a little bit of kindness in her heart. She didn’t squeeze out Xia Changyu’s very last drop.
This was her biggest act of kindness…
Since becoming a girl.
Of course, something like this goes both ways. It depends on whether the other person actually gets the message, and whether they’ll cooperate.
Xia Changyu stayed quiet for a moment. In the end, he didn’t push his luck. He softly said, “In that case... let’s stop for tonight.”
Lin Yibai: “Then, sleep?”
Xia Changyu: “Sure, we can sleep. But just so you know, this time doesn’t count. You owe me one.”
Lin Yibai turned around and lay on her side, showing off her graceful figure. Her voice was lazy and teasing. “Okay, okay, I owe you. Happy now?”
Was Xia Changyu really using her kindness as an excuse to ask for more?
And saying she owed him? Who was the one drenched in sweat first, huh?
Lin Yibai thought she could totally teach him a good lesson, but... fine, she let it go.
After all, sometimes it’s better to show a little mercy. So it’s easier to face each other again in the future.
Just one drop.
Let’s leave him one drop.
Lin Yibai picked up her phone and set two or three alarms.
After doing something so intense and going to bed so late, she might not even be able to wake up by noon the next day.
Tick tick~
She also added a few reminders to her schedule on her phone. She whispered, “Changyu, if I don’t wake up tomorrow, please remember to call me, okay?”
Snore~
Snore snore~
Lin Yibai: “Huh?”
She turned around to take a look. Wow, Xia Changyu had already fallen into a deep sleep in just a short time. He must have really been exhausted.
Usually, he slept well and rarely made noise, but now he was even snoring. What kind of torture did he go through to end up like this?
Lin Yibai thought to herself, “Did I go too far?”
She scratched her head and mumbled, “Forget it. This guy is hopeless.”
She got up, went to the bathroom, and soaked a towel in hot water. She gently cleaned up some of the leftover mess, basic cleaning was necessary.
She then smoothed out the messy bed sheets, but when she saw a big stain, she frowned. She really wanted to just change the entire sheet.
Living together brought a lot of small troubles.
For example, if they weren’t careful, they had to change the sheets almost every two days, sometimes even every single day. It was kind of annoying.
Life experience comes from real-life practice.
Lin Yibai had thought more than once about buying a cover or cloth to put over the bed, maybe that would help. But she hadn’t ordered one yet.
She glared at the person who was now sleeping like a rock, and said angrily, “Whose fault do you think this is? And I’m the one who always does the laundry! So you’re the one who should go buy the new sheet, hmph!”
Then she grabbed a pen from the table.
Scratch, scratch, scratch—
She quickly wrote a note on a piece of scrap paper, telling Xia Changyu to go buy one.
Soon after that, she also fell asleep.
The bus was scheduled to leave at 1:30 in the afternoon, but who would dare wait until the last minute to catch it?
Lin Yibai got up around 9 a.m, took a shower, and prepared other things. Afterward, she made a nice lunch for Xia Changyu and left it in the rice cooker to stay warm.
After packing her things, she walked over to cover him with the blanket, and softly said, “Alright, I’m leaving now. If anything comes up, we’ll talk after the holiday.”
She stood there for a moment, watching him sleep. Something about his peaceful expression made her smile. She leaned down, brushing a stray piece of hair from his forehead before planting a soft kiss there.
Then, she quietly left the room and gently closed the door behind her.
She didn’t wake Xia Changyu at all, he was completely worn out, sound asleep, lost in sweet dreams.
She was just going to the bus station and planned to pick up a few local gifts on the way. She wasn’t one of those overly clingy girls who would cry just because her boyfriend didn’t go with her.
Local specialty from Fucheng?
Fish balls, right?
She’d just buy a few packs and cook hot pot with them at home.
Around 1:30 p.m., Lin Yibai got on the bus right on time.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take the high-speed train. It was just that the bus could go straight to her hometown, while the train would require switching multiple times.
She left at 1:30 p.m.
Xia Changyu didn’t wake up until after 2 p.m.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt cold all over, like something had been drained from his body.
Luckily, Lin Yibai had left him lunch. After washing up, he sat alone eating, feeling strangely lonely. He wasn’t used to it. But the lunch she made tasted amazing.
Ring ring ring~
His phone started ringing.
It was a video call on WeChat from his mom, Xia Zhilan. She probably wanted to ask when he was coming home.
As soon as the call connected, Xia Zhilan saw her son looking pale and tired, like he’d been totally drained. She gasped in shock.
“Ahhh—ahh—Son! What happened to you?!”
Xia Changyu looked confused, “What do you mean mom?”
Xia Zhilan pointed out his problem. He looked like all his energy and spirit had been sucked away. With a serious face, she asked, “Did something evil get into you?”
Honestly, it wasn’t that different from being possessed.
Just how much had he been squeezed dry?
