MQSP - Chapter 25
Chapter 25
Baiye left the dressing room, still in a state of shock. Auntie Lin's skin was truly fair and tender, and her figure was drop-dead gorgeous. Her straight collarbones were very delicate, her chest was firm and perky, and even when she was sitting, there wasn't a single trace of fat on her stomach! Her back was beautiful too, her skin fair and smooth, the lines of her back sleek and firm. It was truly perfect…
Suddenly, Baiye raised a hand and slapped her own forehead hard. Seriously, my mind is wandering again. Just now, I stared at Auntie Lin so impolitely that I made her angry. How can I be so slow to learn my lesson!
Was Lin Yuqing angry? Yes, she was.
But she was angry at Xia Xiaozi.
In the dressing room, Xia Xiaozi was trying hard not to laugh. But Lin Yuqing's blushing cheeks had a strange comedic effect that made it impossible for Xia Xiaozi to hold back. She suppressed the sound, but her body was shaking like a vibrating phone. When Lin Yuqing saw this, she was furious. Slamming the table and glaring didn't make Xia Xiaozi stop. Fortunately, before Lin Yuqing could unleash her "eagle claw hand," Xia Xiaozi managed to stop by pinching her own thigh. Thus, she avoided severe punishment.
That evening, Lin Yuqing and Xia Xiaozi returned home early. Lin Yuqing had already showered and was sitting on the sofa, waiting for dinner.
The sound of the door opening was heard; it must be Xiao Ye. Lin Yuqing didn't turn around. She didn't want to see her! She was still angry, after all!
"Auntie Lin, Auntie, I'm back…" Baiye's voice was faint and weak, filled with exhaustion.
Only then did Lin Yuqing glance back at her. Her bangs were stuck to her forehead, the collar of her shirt was nearly soaked with sweat, and her back was drenched. She looked unwell, a little pale.
"Xiao Ye, are you okay?" Before Lin Yuqing could speak, Xia Xiaozi ran out from the kitchen, saw her, and asked hurriedly.
"Auntie, I'm fine. Just a little tired."
"Go take a shower and change your clothes first. Dinner will be ready soon. You can rest right after you eat."
"Okay." Baiye nodded, forced a smile, and went upstairs.
"Qing Jie, dinner's ready. Could I trouble you to go up and call her?" Xia Xiaozi poked her head out of the kitchen.
Lin Yuqing glanced upstairs without a word, but obediently got up and went.
She knocked on Xiao Ye's door, but there was no response. Isn't she done showering yet? It's been half an hour.
With that thought, Lin Yuqing pressed down on the handle and pushed the door open. Before she could do anything else, she saw the little one fast asleep, sprawled on the bed.
Lin Yuqing tiptoed inside. The little one had changed into a white, form-fitting nightdress that only reached the top of her thighs. Her two long, slender, pale legs were almost completely exposed. One leg was dangling off the side of the bed. It looked like she had fallen asleep the moment she collapsed onto it, utterly exhausted.
Her soft, long hair was still damp, spread across the white sheets, black as ink and exceptionally eye-catching.
The little one was lying flat on her stomach, her figure still curvy and well-proportioned. Her bottom was round and perky, her waist slender, and the skin exposed to the air was fair with a pinkish hue.
Lin Yuqing craned her neck, leaning closer to look at Baiye's pretty face. The little one's eyes were beautifully shaped, the outer corners tilting upwards with a very faint reddish halo—classic "peach blossom eyes." That look she got when her eyes welled up with tears and she stared at you pitifully was what Lin Yuqing found most unbearable; she simply couldn't withstand it!
Her small, delicate nose had a hint of cleverness. Probably because of her face-down position, her breathing was slightly obstructed, causing her pink lips to part and close, which was incredibly cute.
Lin Yuqing had never looked at this little one so intently before. She suddenly realized that the little crybaby had grown up without her noticing. She unconsciously reached out to stroke her head, then stood up, lifted her into her arms, laid her on her back on the bed, and covered her with the blanket. She adjusted the air conditioner's temperature and dimmed the lights to a warm yellow, suitable for a restful sleep. The little one was afraid of the dark and never slept with the lights off; she remembered this very clearly.
After doing all this, Lin Yuqing was about to get up and leave when she suddenly remembered something and sat back down on the edge of the bed. She pulled Xiao Ye's right hand out from under the blanket and examined it carefully in the light. As expected, the outer sides of her thumb and index finger, as well as the web between them, were rubbed red and shiny.
"Hey, where is she? Still not done?" After waiting for a long time with no one coming down, Xia Xiaozi ran upstairs herself.
"She's asleep. Don't wake her. Just leave some food for her."
"Asleep? Looks like she's really worn out." Xia Xiaozi walked over to take a look, her tone tinged with sympathy.
"We all went through the same thing." Lin Yuqing was much more philosophical about it.
"What's wrong with her hand?" Xia Xiaozi noticed Lin Yuqing was holding the girl's hand and staring at it.
"It's chafed. Put some medicine on it for her later."
"Okay, I will."
Lin Yuqing was a light sleeper and quite alert. She was startled awake in the middle of the night by the sound of a door opening and closing a few times. She sat up and listened for a moment, then got out of bed and left her room, just in time to see Xia Xiaozi entering Xiao Ye's room.
Lin Yuqing wasn't wearing shoes, so her steps were silent. She stood outside Xiao Ye's door, holding her breath and eavesdropping.
"Here, eat something first." Xia Xiaozi took the glass of water from Baiye's hand and passed her the warm congee. She brushed the bangs away from the side of her face and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Much better. Auntie, I'm so sorry for waking you up this late…" Baiye's voice was a bit weak, and she looked pale.
"Alright, don't say that to me. I should have woken you up tonight to eat something before you slept." Xia Xiaozi felt a wave of lingering fear. She had been sound asleep when her phone rang. When she picked it up and saw it was a call from Xiao Ye, she froze for a moment. Upon answering, she heard Xiao Ye's very weak voice saying she wasn't feeling well. The scare made Xia Xiaozi leap right out of bed and dash to Baiye's room.
"Didn't you eat lunch? Skipping dinner shouldn't have been this serious." Remembering how the little one had been pale, clutching her stomach, and curled up under the covers, trembling in pain, made Xia Xiaozi's heart ache.
"I… threw it all up during practice this afternoon…"
"You've really suffered." Xia Xiaozi sympathetically stroked Baiye's head. "Why don't you take tomorrow off and rest at home for a day?"
"No, my progress is already slow. If I take another day off, I'll fall too far behind."
"Alright then. You're too stubborn, just like your Auntie Lin."
"Auntie Lin isn't stubborn at all."
"Yes, yes, I shouldn't speak ill of your Auntie Lin in front of you, right?" Xia Xiaozi gave a helpless smile and frowned.
"By the way, Xiao Ye, you were a bit out of line today. How could you look at an elder with such lecherous eyes?" Xia Xiaozi deliberately emphasized the word "elder."
Baiye unconsciously lowered her head. "Well, you can't blame me. Auntie Lin's figure is really…" The more she thought about it, the redder her pretty face became. This girl wasn't shy with Xia Xiaozi at all; she dared to say anything.
"Ahem!" Xia Xiaozi coughed loudly, her expression serious. "I'm being serious with you, don't change the subject."
But in the next second, she continued, "Qing Jie's figure is truly top-notch. Especially that ant waist of hers, not a single trace of fat, it's really…"
With a creak, the room fell instantly silent.
Xia Xiaozi's hands were in the middle of gesturing the shape of Lin Yuqing's waist, and the smile frozen on her face wasn't the least bit sleazy. Baiye was grinning as she watched Xia Xiaozi, not having reacted at all.
The first thing Lin Yuqing saw was the smile on Xiao Ye's face. She had never smiled so happily when talking to her!
"Did the two of you treat everything I said before as if it went in one ear and out the other?" Lin Yuqing entered the room, her expression dark.
Xia Xiaozi reflexively covered her ears. "Qing Jie, I was wrong, but there's a reason for it today. Xiao Ye's stomach problem flared up, so of course I had to come take care of her."
"Stomach problem? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was afraid of disturbing your rest. It's so late, and you have to film tomorrow," Xia Xiaozi explained with a fawning expression, and Baiye quickly nodded along.
"How is she now? Is she feeling better?" Lin Yuqing's tone softened a little.
"She seems to be fine now. She drank some congee and just took her medicine…" As Xia Xiaozi was speaking, she noticed Lin Yuqing glaring at her with dissatisfaction.
"Was I asking you?!"
Xia Xiaozi shrank back. Fine, fine, I'll shut up!
"You can leave first."
"Okay." Xia Xiaozi agreed and was about to go when her arm was grabbed. She looked down and saw the little one clutching her pitifully. "Auntie, don't go…" she pleaded in a tiny voice. That wronged little look left Xia Xiaozi stunned on the spot. She leaned down and stroked her head. "What's wrong?" Why is this little one suddenly so afraid of Qing Jie?
Lin Yuqing felt a sourness in her heart. It's not like I'm going to eat you. Are you really that scared of being alone with me?
Lin Yuqing probably didn't remember, but the little one clearly recalled what Lin Yuqing had said last time—that if she and Xia Xiaozi were inseparable again, she would spank her. As a result, her fear index for Lin Yuqing was shooting up.
Lin Yuqing jutted her chin at Xia Xiaozi, who understood her meaning perfectly. She patted Xiao Ye's hand. "It's okay, Auntie Lin doesn't eat people." After saying that, she quickly slipped away.
"Are you very scared of me?" Lin Yuqing sat on the edge of the bed, feeling a little helpless. This child… what do I have to do for her to let down her guard and trust me completely?
"Mhm…" Baiye answered in a low voice.
Lin Yuqing rested her chin on her hand. "Why? I haven't been harsh with you recently, have I?"
After she spoke, Lin Yuqing sighed. "Oh, right." She suddenly remembered her conversation with Xia Xiaozi in the car that morning. She looked up and said seriously to Baiye, "Don't worry. No matter what, I will never abandon you."
"Wh-what?" Baiye was stunned, unable to process it.
Seeing the little one's dazed look, Lin Yuqing smiled, pursing her lips, and reached out to stroke her head. "When I brought you back with me, I never once thought about abandoning you. Do you understand now?"
"I…"
"So from now on, you can tell me anything. You don't have to worry about whether you'll be troubling me. If I was afraid of trouble, I wouldn't have brought you back in the first place." Lin Yuqing explained patiently and in detail.
The little one didn't respond, however, lost in her own shock. Lin Yuqing's words had undoubtedly given her a huge sense of security.
"Are you still feeling unwell?"
Baiye quickly shook her head.
"Then get some rest. If you don't want to be outdone by others, you have to work harder yourself."
"I understand, Auntie Lin."
"Mhm." Lin Yuqing got up and walked out.
"Good night, Auntie Lin!"
Hearing her voice, Lin Yuqing turned back and saw Baiye giving her a brilliant smile. This girl… she's finally showing me a smile like that. It seems today's talk made some progress.
"Good night."
Lin Yuqing paused in her steps, turned back, and gave a captivating smile. "Is my waist beautiful?"
"Huh? It's… beautiful…" Baiye's pretty face flushed red. She was so dazzled by Lin Yuqing's sudden smile that she could hardly keep her eyes open, her gaze shifting away.
Lin Yuqing was quite pleased. This little one, she even knows how to give a compliment now.
