Volume 1 Chapter 125: What Am I Supposed to Do With You?
The moment she pushed open the door, Shen Jingyi truly thought about many, many things.
Steam quietly slipped out from the open bathroom door. It was as if she had already imagined what might happen next in her mind. Under the cover of the mist, Shen Jingyi’s eyes became more and more unfocused.
A strange fluttering feeling slowly filled her heart, mixed with the shy feelings unique to a young girl.
But in the end…
That hazy confusion was replaced by clear determination.
“It’s okay… if it’s her, I think I can accept it…”
Shen Jingyi felt that the determination she had made now was no weaker than when she signed the contract and became a magical girl.
With that thought in mind, her eyes slowly became clear again. She turned around and glanced at the mirror inside the bathroom. The steam covered the mirror completely, so she could only see a blurry reflection of herself.
Pressing her lips together, Shen Jingyi walked out of the bathroom.
But to her surprise, the main lights in the room were already turned off. Only the weak light from the bedside lamp remained.
The air conditioner quietly blew cold air while the warm steam mixed together with the chilly wind.
Shen Jingyi shivered slightly and quickly used the hair dryer to dry her wet hair.
Then, when she nervously walked to the bedside, she saw a small bump under the blanket. It looked like someone was already lying in bed.
“Huh…?”
The scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined, causing Shen Jingyi to freeze for a moment.
She had already prepared herself mentally and thought of countless reasons to convince herself…
So what was going on now?
According to Miss Bai’s usual bad personality, shouldn’t she have turned on the lights, sat by the bed with crossed legs, and looked down at her proudly?
Wasn’t that exactly what happened the first time she went to Bai Muxue’s house?
Maybe… Bai Muxue would even pull off her towel directly and expose her body under the light while slowly admiring her…
At least, that was how the comics she secretly read these past few days described it.
The clear thoughts in her head were slowly replaced by all kinds of embarrassing images. A wave of heat rushed into her chest, and a noticeable blush quietly appeared on her cheeks.
Seriously… maybe she really should not have read those kinds of comics.
She felt like she was becoming strange herself.
Looking at the lump under the blanket in the dim yellow light, Shen Jingyi showed a strange expression.
Could it be…
Miss Bai actually did not plan to do that kind of thing?
Did she really come to a hotel just… to sleep?
Then all the nervousness and fear she felt along the way would just be her overthinking things?
That could not be right…
If this was not for that kind of thing, then their driver could have simply taken Miss Bai home directly. Why would they purposely come all the way to a hotel?
That also did not seem like Miss Bai’s usual style.
Although… sometimes she really could be unexpectedly gentle…
For a moment, the hardworking student Shen Jingyi felt her brain could no longer keep up. Biting her lip, she subconsciously sat down at the edge of the bed.
It was a large bed nearly two meters wide. Bai Muxue was lying alone on one side, her face hidden within the dim shadows of the room.
But thanks to her good eyesight, Shen Jingyi could still see Bai Muxue’s smooth pale cheeks, her willow-like eyebrows, and her small nose.
Bai Muxue’s eyes were lightly closed. Her calm and quiet appearance made Shen Jingyi suddenly feel that she seemed unfamiliar somehow.
Seeing that Bai Muxue showed no reaction at all, Shen Jingyi, still wrapped only in a bath towel, hesitated about whether she should move closer.
Then Bai Muxue suddenly seemed to notice her presence. Without opening her eyes, she patted the space beside her.
“Why are you sleeping so far away? Come closer.”
“……”
Hearing that, Shen Jingyi slowly moved a little closer.
“Tch, didn’t I already tell you to come closer?”
It seemed Bai Muxue was annoyed by her nervous behavior. Clicking her tongue lightly, she suddenly reached out and pulled Shen Jingyi over.
“W-Wait…!”
Shen Jingyi’s startled cry got stuck in her throat.
Caught completely off guard, the towel around her body, only tied with a simple knot, instantly came loose.
Her fair body and soft curves were suddenly exposed to the air.
However, Shen Jingyi’s nervousness did not last long, because Bai Muxue casually threw the blanket over her head, completely covering her up.
Still flustered, Shen Jingyi poked her head out from under the blanket. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a small and soft body slowly moving closer under the covers.
Right before her shocked eyes, that body pressed tightly against her.
The warmth and softness in her arms felt unbelievably clear.
Just like her, Bai Muxue also seemed to be wearing nothing.
So… so in the end, they really were going to do that kind of thing?
The closeness between them was something Shen Jingyi had never experienced before. The blush on her face became even deeper, and her heartbeat felt as though it might jump out of her chest at any moment.
Meanwhile, Bai Muxue’s face stayed expressionless, though her cheeks were slightly red. One of her hands slowly slipped out from Shen Jingyi’s embrace, her fingers unconsciously brushing across the girl’s soft waist, making Shen Jingyi quietly let out a soft sound.
Bai Muxue’s slender hand gently moved across Shen Jingyi’s neck. When her fingers touched the girl’s soft hair, she lazily played with it, wrapping strands around her pale fingers again and again.
Shen Jingyi silently endured Bai Muxue’s teasing touch.
The girl’s small face was incredibly close. Her thick eyelashes hung low, her nose was small and delicate, and her pale pink lips looked as soft as flower petals covered in dew.
After absentmindedly playing with her for a while, Bai Muxue slowly pulled her hand back.
Shen Jingyi’s soft body pressed tightly against Bai Muxue’s chest. Her restless heartbeat could be heard clearly, yet Bai Muxue showed no intention of taking things further.
Instead, she simply rested her small chin on Shen Jingyi’s smooth shoulder and honestly wrapped her arms around her.
Like a lazy little cat that had finally found a comfortable place to curl up in, she no longer wanted to move.
Bai Muxue’s warm breathing brushed lightly against the back of Shen Jingyi’s ear. The strange ticklish feeling made Shen Jingyi’s body squirm uncomfortably.
Feeling her move, Bai Muxue slowly lifted her eyes.
“Don’t move… let me hold you a little longer…”
Mm. The countdown was almost about to pass the thirty-day mark. Just a little longer…
Breathing in the pleasant scent so close to her while hugging the soft body in her arms, Bai Muxue calmed down her own nervous feelings and slowly closed her eyes.
Her consciousness gradually became blurry.
But Shen Jingyi beside her could not fall asleep.
Holding onto one corner of the blanket, she kept her body tense while waiting for Bai Muxue’s next move…
But all she heard was the girl’s steady breathing.
Bai Muxue actually seemed to have fallen asleep.
Shen Jingyi stared at the peaceful sleeping face beside her in disbelief. Complex emotions flashed through her clear eyes.
That was it?
Just this?
Should she feel relieved now?
Relieved that Miss Bai still had not done that kind of thing to her…
But if Bai Muxue did not actually want her body, then why had she spent so much time and effort on her?
Simply hugging her like this and taking a little advantage surely was not enough reason for the proud young lady of the Bai family to spend so much money and attention on her.
Hadn’t she believed all this time that Bai Muxue only cared about her looks? That she only wanted a toy to entertain herself with? That she enjoyed watching someone beneath her struggle before finally giving in to her?
After the emotional roller coaster of this entire night, Shen Jingyi suddenly felt that the belief she had always held onto was slowly falling apart.
If Bai Muxue did not want her body…
Then why had she done so much for her?
“What am I supposed to do… if you treat me like this…?”
A feeling of fear she could not describe slowly rose inside her heart.
Subconsciously, she wished Bai Muxue would open her eyes and give her an answer.
But the only reply she received was the girl’s soft, even breathing.
Shen Jingyi quietly stared at Bai Muxue’s sleeping face for a very long time.
Then, for reasons even she herself did not understand, she moved a little closer toward her.
As if she were secretly doing something wrong, surrounded by the fresh scent of body wash, Shen Jingyi lightly brushed her lips against Bai Muxue’s soft, slightly wet lips.
