SCHS - Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Qin Zhen had originally thought that Wen Shixue, so eager to go home, would be full of energy and wide awake on the way back, infected by her excitement. Instead, as soon as she got on the plane, she wrapped herself in a warm blanket and prepared to sleep. Before drifting off, she even enthusiastically invited Qin Zhen to sleep with her.
Qin Zhen noticed that as winter set in and the weather grew colder, Wen Shixue became increasingly sleepy, as if she were truly a squirrel needing to hibernate in winter, wanting nothing more than to burrow into a thick quilt and stay warm all day. Qin Zhen couldn't help but smile, putting down the book in her hand to tuck the blanket around her, and gently asked, "Didn't get enough sleep today?"
Wen Shixue had been so happy the previous night knowing she could go home that she stayed up a bit late, and consequently woke up even later the next day.
Wen Shixue yawned, saying lazily, "Winter is too cold, it easily dampens one's fighting spirit. You should sleep more in bed, recover your energy, and then do what needs to be done."
That sounded just like something she would say. Qin Zhen didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "You should exercise more; exercise is good for your health."
Wen Shixue's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, her voice incredibly sweet, "I don't like exercising, I like sleeping. Lao Qin, you should sleep too, recharge your energy."
Qin Zhen wasn't sleepy at all. She withdrew her gaze, reopened her book, and said softly, "I'm not tired. You sleep. I'll wake you when we arrive."
Wen Shixue looked at her profile and didn't insist, saying softly, "That's true, anyway, tomorrow is the weekend and we don't have work."
Qin Zhen didn't hear clearly and turned to look at her. "What did you just say?"
Wen Shixue said with a smile, "I said tomorrow is the weekend and we don't have work, so we can sleep until the sky turns dark."
Qin Zhen: "...?"
Why did it feel like she hadn't said that much just now? No, why did those words sound strange coming from her mouth? As if... she meant something else?
But Wen Shixue clearly had no intention of explaining. She turned her head and fell asleep, sleeping soundly the entire way, undisturbed.
At 10:26 PM, the plane landed safely at the airport. A dedicated driver was there to pick them up. Wen Shixue placed her hand on her stomach, suddenly feeling very hungry. She decided to go to the night market near their apartment complex with Qin Zhen to eat their fill before heading back, saving them from filling the apartment with the smell of takeout.
The night market was bustling with people coming and going amidst the smoky air. They bought two bowls of steaming hot knife-cut noodles and a few skewers of barbecue, finding an empty spot to sit down.
Qin Zhen had originally thought Wen Shixue, like other pampered young ladies and masters, wouldn't like eating street food. But after spending time with her, she changed her mind. She was the most unique CEO, the most unique young lady – seemingly high and mighty, but in reality approachable and completely without airs.
How fortunate she was to have met her.
Wen Shixue pushed the grilled eggplant she liked towards her. "No rush, I'll definitely let you see enough when we get back. Eat first, it'll get cold soon."
Qin Zhen nodded and gently reminded her, "Eat a little less. If you're too full, you won't sleep well tonight."
Wen Shixue, however, smiled brightly and said, "Then I just won't sleep! I don't mind staying up all night."
Wen Shixue didn't come home just to sleep!
Qin Zhen said sternly, "No, staying up all night is bad for your health."
Wen Shixue probed, "Then... can we stay up all night for a special circumstance?"
Regarding the door to a new world, she didn't mind spending more time exploring it with Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen was startled, only then realizing that every word she had said earlier held a hidden meaning. No wonder she wanted to sleep and recharge, to eat her fill – everything was clearly meant to tease her. It made Qin Zhen recall the night she came to apologize in her bathrobe and that unintentional glimpse.
Snow-white skin with cherry blossom hues, indescribably alluring. The one doing it was completely unfazed, while the one watching couldn't stop her heart from racing, her ears turning red.
Qin Zhen's face felt warm. Suppressing the memories in her mind, she faced the person who was fully dressed and warm, feeling both embarrassed and compelled to say seriously, "You can't stay up all night even for a special circumstance."
Not to mention that staying up all night was bad for her health, staying up all night for this kind of special circumstance would be... too improper.
She absolutely couldn't indulge her and go along with her nonsense.
Wen Shixue loved seeing her serious face blush. Amidst her maturity, it added a touch of charming brilliance, different from her usual self. This was a side she wouldn't show to outsiders, and it always made Wen Shixue's heart flutter.
She lowered her voice, as if sharing a remarkable secret, "When my Lao Qin blushes, she's the cutest person in the whole world."
"Talking nonsense again," Qin Zhen said, used to it. "Eat. It's cold outside, let's go back early."
Wen Shixue gave her a sweet smile and lowered her head, starting to eat her late-night snack with the mindset of "even if I haven't done it before, it's definitely right to prepare by replenishing my strength."
Qin Zhen, sitting across from her, glanced at her from time to time. Even though she was eager inside, her dining etiquette remained graceful and elegant. Every movement exuded an undeniable air of nobility.
Qin Zhen took a bite of the fragrant and rich grilled eggplant and suddenly remembered that she hadn't really seen Wen Shixue blush much. It was as if the word "shy" didn't exist in her life's dictionary; she was the one who made others shy, not the other way around.
She inexplicably became curious about what the Little Demon King would look like when she blushed. After thinking about it, she dismissed the thought. Anyway, she wouldn't see it anytime soon, so there was no need for this extra curiosity.
At the table behind them sat a group of college students, chatting enthusiastically about a game. Wen Shixue unintentionally overheard them and roughly knew what game they were talking about. If she remembered correctly, Qin Zhen's roommate Yu Hanhan was part of the planning team for that game.
She asked about it, and Qin Zhen nodded yes. She said "Oh," and Qin Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you want to play games?"
Wen Shixue said, "No, I just wanted to confirm I hadn't misremembered. I don't play games much because I'm terrible at them. I'm afraid I'll get angry playing and then the game will go bankrupt."
Qin Zhen frowned in confusion, not understanding the connection there.
Wen Shixue pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, her face serious. "I'm doing this for their own good. Because in novels, anyone who offends the domineering CEO will eventually be punished by the CEO's ultimate move: 'It's getting cold, let XX go bankrupt.'"
Qin Zhen: "..."
For a moment, she didn't know whether to complain about the term "domineering CEO" or this ultimate move... Was it still possible to make her read fewer novels and watch fewer dramas now?
After the late-night snack, Wen Shixue linked arms with Qin Zhen like she would with a best friend and walked towards the apartment complex. As they were about to take the elevator upstairs, Qin Zhen suddenly patted her hand and said softly, "You go back first, I need to pick up a package."
Wen Shixue didn't ask further. "Then come back quickly."
Qin Zhen smiled. "Got it. Go back quickly, don't get cold."
Wen Shixue reached out and tightened her scarf, making sure no wind could get in before she left. Upon returning to her familiar home, all her usual casualness resurfaced with the sense of familiarity. She stretched comfortably and planned to take a shower first, continuing to be Vice President Qin's fragrant and exquisite little secretary, making Vice President Qin unable to let go of her.
But as she was getting her pajamas, she suddenly remembered something. Because coming home was so sudden, she hadn't had time to prepare new clothes to "load the save file" with Qin Zhen.
"Hiss." She thought for a moment, then turned and walked into the walk-in closet.
...
When Qin Zhen returned, Wen Shixue was still showering. After closing the front door, she walked straight into the bedroom, opened the package, took out the necessary items, carefully read every word on the back of the packaging, and then put them in the bedside table drawer, waiting for Wen Shixue to come out before she went in to shower.
After spending most of the evening in the night market with its many street stalls, her body was full of the smell of oil and smoke, so she had to wash.
This was the most meticulous and serious shower Wen Shixue had ever taken in her life. She tried her best to be spotlessly clean, like a fairy from the heavens who only drank dew, so clean that she was beyond reproach. Before going out after changing, she even specifically opened a new bottle of perfume and sprayed some on, then walked out through the steam from the bathroom, hurriedly calling for Qin Zhen to take a shower.
Qin Zhen glanced at what she was wearing. It was her usual modest long-sleeved, long-pants pajamas, nothing fancy.
After confirming that Qin Zhen had gone in, Wen Shixue started blow-drying her hair, changed clothes, and got into bed. The bedroom door wasn't closed, and the sound of water splashing from the bathroom rubbed against her sensitive hearing. The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly ambiguous, reminding her with every splash of what was about to happen.
A closer development, a more intimate relationship, unmatched by anyone else.
She pulled the quilt over half her face, revealing only a pair of eyes that sparkled with shy glances. Usually bold enough to swallow the sky and earth, she had openly lusted after Qin Zhen's body many times. But now that she was actually about to get it... she was surprisingly a little nervous and shy.
Curiosity about sex, longing for a more intimate relationship with her lover, and the excited anticipation of finally getting what she wanted created a different Little Demon King than usual – a Little Demon King who could blush.
Qin Zhen finished showering and blow-drying her hair, then walked into the bedroom feeling fresh and clean. She saw Wen Shixue nestled in the quilt, staring blankly at the leg of the bedside table, lost in thought.
Wen Shixue snapped back to attention when she heard the sound. Her eyes bright and innocent, she extended a glistening white and flawless arm towards Qin Zhen, hooked her finger playfully, and said with a smile, "Come quickly, come quickly, I want to load the save file."
Qin Zhen was startled when she saw that section of her arm, then couldn't help but laugh. She walked slowly to her side and asked, "What outfit do you want to 'load the save file' with this time?"
She wrapped herself mysteriously in the quilt, slowly sat up, and then suddenly threw it open. "With this!"
The simple dark gray winter quilt slid off her shoulders like a cape, and a wine-red short slip dress tightly wrapped around her fair skin suddenly appeared before Qin Zhen's eyes. It was a satin dress, a common style, strapless, with a slight cinch at the waist, perfectly outlining her slender figure in exquisite detail.
Charming, passionate, she displayed it all to the fullest, yet she was completely unaware, not knowing at all how captivating she was at this moment. "No rush, I know this is very ordinary, but that's not my main point."
Qin Zhen: "...?"
She decided to give her a Chinese lesson tomorrow and let her know that the word "ordinary" would never be associated with Miss Wen in this lifetime.
The killer feature of Wen Shixue's dress wasn't the unremarkable front. After Qin Zhen sat on the bed, she swept her long hair aside, revealing the hidden surprise at the back – a hollowed-out back, perfect butterfly shoulder blades, two long and smooth red ribbons threaded through golden eyelets and crossed over, then tied into a drooping bowknot at her slender waist.
A back as fair as snow, wine-red ribbons – the two contrasted, like a mysterious forbidden zone constantly inviting one in, stirring her heart and soul and making her heart pound.
Qin Zhen suddenly understood why she thought the front was ordinary; it was simply because the back had too much impact.
Qin Zhen had attended many cocktail parties and banquets and had seen many beauties wearing backless dresses, but she had always been unmoved. Only for Wen Shixue did her heart flutter, her eyes unable to hide her affection for her. She didn't know if it was because she was getting older and couldn't handle being teased, or if her young girlfriend was simply too outstanding, making her irresistible.
This outfit was actually a set, with a small blazer, and shoulder straps, but Wen Shixue had unhesitatingly removed them all for tonight, leaving only this look. She hadn't worn it before because she found it troublesome, thinking it would gather dust forever. She never expected it would have a use, and seeing Qin Zhen's reaction, the effect was excellent.
She curved her lips, handing one of the red ribbons into Qin Zhen's hand, as if inviting her to unwrap a gift. The sparkling waves in her eyes were like enchanting autumn water.
Qin Zhen, as if possessed, pulled the red ribbon in her hand, and the vibrant red dress fell softly like a deflated balloon, revealing the snow-white skin with cherry blossom hues that had lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.
She suddenly stopped and pulled the person into her embrace, as if Wen Shixue were a precious and fragile treasure that she dared not touch with force.
"Shixue..." she called her name softly, uncertainly.
Wen Shixue vaguely sensed her feelings at this moment and gently kissed her cheek. "I know what I'm doing. I want to give myself to you, and I also want to have you, to have a more intimate relationship with you, and I'm ready."
She lifted her chin, exposing her long, slender neck like a swan's, guiding Qin Zhen to lean in. "If you don't believe me, smell."
A fresh, non-cloying floral scent, the smell of new perfume.
Wen Shixue: "For you, I even opened a new bottle of perfume. This preparation is simply thoughtful!"
Qin Zhen chuckled. Although she wanted to remind her that she had just opened a new bottle of perfume a few days ago, she thought about Wen Shixue's thoughtful preparation and decided she should appreciate it. So she kissed her below her earlobe and replied, "I'm honored."
Wen Shixue felt a little ticklish from the kiss. She simply cupped Qin Zhen's face and kissed her without another word, passionately and possessively sealing her breath until both their breaths became ragged and their positions had changed without them realizing.
She lay there looking up at Qin Zhen on top of her, seeing that she was still fully dressed, and tugged at the hem of her clothes, displeased.
Qin Zhen was used to being unhurried and doing everything slowly and deliberately, even unbuttoning clothes. Normally, Wen Shixue would have leisurely sat by and watched her hands and face with the gaze of someone appreciating a work of art. Now, she felt as if her whole body was being burned by an invisible, intangible fire, making her incredibly impatient.
"Don't do that," she called out.
Qin Zhen paused. "?"
Wen Shixue smiled slyly. "I'm an adult, you can take it off faster."
Just saying it wasn't enough. Her heart surging, she sat up to help, then was captivated by Qin Zhen's figure and the smooth, beautiful lines of her abs, touching them for a while with eyes full of admiration.
She felt it was totally worth it. Her girlfriend was not only capable at work, but her figure and appearance were also second to none – she was satisfied! Next, she had to find a way to make this girlfriend completely hers, hers for this lifetime!
Snapping back from admiring her figure, she hugged Qin Zhen with smiling eyes. She had to clear this dungeon today – it didn't matter if she was bad at it, Qin Zhen could carry her through this dungeon, and she just had to lie back and win!
Qin Zhen took out the things she had just picked up from the cabinet. Under Wen Shixue's curious gaze, she patiently taught her how to use them, and even personally demonstrated it for her... and more.
Wen Shixue was a little apprehensive at first, like a child afraid of pain before getting a shot. Qin Zhen coaxed her intimately in her ear, her voice carrying a hint of desire, low and more captivating than ever before: "Don't worry, relax."
It was the first time Wen Shixue had heard her speak in such a voice. It felt like a breeze brushing past her ear, soft as a feather, making her heart yearn and her affection for her grow even stronger. She couldn't help but hold her tightly, full of attachment.
Qin Zhen had always been patient with her, just like when she first taught her how to manage the company, and just like now, teaching her how to enjoy all of this.
Wen Shixue was obediently guided by her fingertips. She had always loved this pair of hands – slender and long, with distinct joints, beautiful like a work of art. In the past, she had always looked at those hands with the eyes of someone appreciating art, never imagining they could bring enjoyment beyond the visual, captivating and intoxicating, lifting her to the clouds. Her whole body felt light, and even her waist yielded to it, softly sinking into soft clouds.
She was filled with Qin Zhen's most gentle love, like a full moon, complete and without flaw. She became even more inseparable from Qin Zhen than usual, not for a single second. Her two hands tightly held her neck, afraid she would be snatched away by someone else.
Qin Zhen's kisses were as gentle as ever, carrying her most sincere love, imprinted on her eyes, her rosy lips, the hollow of her neck... responding to her possessiveness in her own way, making her believe that she would always be by her side, never leaving – because no one could love her more than she did.
The ambiguous atmosphere gradually grew heated amidst broken, incoherent sounds, like a fire igniting every corner of the room, leaving them nowhere to escape, deeply immersed, unable to pull away.
Their love for each other intertwined and merged over time, inseparable. They reluctantly parted after who knows how long.
Wen Shixue leaned against the headboard padded with soft pillows, her fair face flushed with a blush. Her body and mind felt especially fragile and sensitive, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, poised to fall, like a flower holding morning dew, yet more enchanting and lovable than any flower, evoking pity and affection.
Her slender white fingertips touched her snow-white neck. She weakly felt it, realizing she had miscalculated.
Before they started, why hadn't she thought of preparing a glass of water? Her throat was hoarse from calling out!
She lowered her eyelashes, steadying her ragged breathing. Her moist eyes sparkled with tears, like pear blossoms in the rain, stunningly beautiful.
Qin Zhen found that she could never resist her when she was about to cry. The moment she saw her cry, she wanted to coax her, to bring the best things in the world to her, until she smiled through her tears.
So she kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, cupped her waist, and held her tightly in her embrace, her eyes filled with all the tenderness in the world. She patted her back and coaxed, "Shixue, be good, don't cry."
Wen Shixue wiped away her fragile, sensitive tears and buried her face in Qin Zhen's shoulder. She had originally intended to say she wasn't crying, but the words changed flavor, influenced by the wonderful atmosphere, sounding like she was acting spoiled: "...Qin Zhen, you have to like me forever, and only love me."
Qin Zhen responded softly, "Okay, I'll like you forever, and only love you."
Wen Shixue didn't mind this endlessly soft mode of acting spoiled. She was extremely double-standard; it wasn't okay with others, but it was perfectly fine with Qin Zhen. She added, "Then you have to be mine in the next life too, you can't run off with someone else."
Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, I'll be yours in the next life too."
Only then did Wen Shixue smile. "I've remembered it all, you can't regret it."
Qin Zhen's thumb gently stroked her slightly red eye corner, her voice very gentle. "I won't regret it. Don't cry anymore."
Wen Shixue seeing her so compliant, was incredibly pleased. Her little schemes started bubbling up, and she couldn't help but push her luck. "There's one last thing."
"What?" Qin Zhen asked.
Wen Shixue: "I think you're absolutely right, exercise is good for your health – so we can stay up all night."
Qin Zhen: "...?"
Although she didn't know the connection between the two, she still said very seriously, "Shixue, staying up all night is bad for your health."
Wen Shixue said as if it were the most natural thing, "Exactly! Exercise is good for your health, staying up all night is bad for your health. If we exercise all night, won't they just cancel each other out? Then all that's left is adult fun. It's a sure profit with no loss!"
Qin Zhen: "???"
Can the cancellation method be used like this?!
