MQSP - Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Lin Yuqing pulled Baiye along, walking quickly back to their temporary residence. She put their things down, went straight into the bedroom, and slammed the door shut.

Baiye's heart skipped a beat. Auntie Lin was truly angry, and not just a little. She was in for it now.

She walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, then carefully pushed it open. She saw Lin Yuqing sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to the door, stewing in her own anger.

"Auntie Lin…" Baiye hurried over, bent down, and knelt in front of Lin Yuqing, tugging on her arm.

"Auntie Lin, don't be angry. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have run off and made you worry. Please don't be angry, okay? I won't do it again."

"Auntie Lin? Please talk to me…"

"Lin Aun—"

Lin Yuqing was furious. She turned her head and glared at her. Baiye opened her mouth but was too stunned to make another sound.

Lin Yuqing grit her teeth, grabbed the back of Baiye's collar, and pulled her up. She unbuttoned her pants, pushed her down onto her lap, and pulled her pants down, underwear and all.

"Lin… Ah…"

Before Baiye could react, a heavy slap landed without hesitation, crisp and loud!

"Auntie Lin, it hurts…"

"Auntie Lin, I know I was wrong. Please stop, okay? It hurts…"

"Lin… Hiss…"

Lin Yuqing completely ignored the little one's pleas for mercy. Under her heavy spanking, the fair little bottom was coated in a layer of pink, and the color was gradually deepening.

With each of Lin Yuqing's slaps, the tender flesh of her bottom trembled slightly. Baiye stopped begging for mercy and didn't cry out. She grit her teeth and endured it. Only when the pain was too severe would she arch her body and let out an irrepressible cry of pain.

Seeing the once-fair little bottom turn a deep red and become covered in obvious welts, Lin Yuqing couldn't bring herself to strike again.

From the very beginning, her own heart had ached with it. With every slap, her heart twinged with pain. She had been truly scared.

This was an area where ethnic minorities gathered. Although the local customs were simple and honest, you couldn't rule out some people having bad intentions. Plus, with a large number of tourists visiting year-round, it was most chaotic when crowded. Abductions had happened before. Just now, she had truly thought the little one had been kidnapped. She had searched back and forth several times, and just when she was frantic with worry, she saw her squatting nearby, happily doing who-knows-what. At that moment, she had exploded with anger.

Feeling that the slaps from behind were no longer raging, Baiye sniffled, sucked in a sharp breath, and looked back at Lin Yuqing. "Auntie Lin, are you not angry anymore…?"

Seeing the little one's reddened eyes, Lin Yuqing's heart clenched again. She opened her mouth…

"I shouldn't have run off and made Auntie Lin worry. I won't do it again. Please don't be angry with me, Auntie Lin."

Lin Yuqing pressed her lips together. "You've said it all, what else can I say?" Her tone was stiff, but her hands were very honestly rubbing the little one's sore spot.

Baiye sensed that Auntie Lin wasn't angry anymore and immediately felt relieved. She got up, pulled on her pants, and took Lin Yuqing's hand to look at it. "Does it hurt? Your hand is all red." She gently blew on Auntie Lin's hand.

Lin Yuqing's anger instantly vanished. She was the one who had been spanked, yet she was still worried about her. She wrapped her arms around the little one and sat her on her lap. Noticing her frown, Lin Yuqing immediately spread her legs apart to avoid touching her tormented little bottom.

"You scared me to death, you know that?" she couldn't help but chide.

Baiye buried her head in the crook of her neck and nodded. "I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so angry."

Lin Yuqing didn't say anything more, gently stroking her little head while sinking into self-reproach.

No matter what, I shouldn't have hit her. I promised to dote on her and spoil her, to never be fierce with her again. How could I…

She unconsciously hugged her a little tighter, her lips pressed firmly against her forehead.

"Does it hurt a lot?" She touched it very lightly with her hand.

"Mhm," Baiye nodded.

"Should I rub it?" Her tone was completely consultative; she could no longer put on a stern face and be fierce with her.

"Mhm."

She had the little one lie face down on the bed, went to the bathroom to get a clean towel, soaked it in cool water, and wrung it out.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she pulled down the little one's pants and took a look. It was completely red and obviously swollen. She reached out and touched it; it was burning hot. She placed the towel on her little bottom and rubbed gently, regretting how she could have actually hit her so hard. A light lesson would have been enough!

"Where did you run off to just now?" Lin Yuqing asked.

"Um, Auntie Lin, I just saw a really cute little cat!"

"A cat?" Lin Yuqing was taken aback. She remembered that Baiye was very fond of small animals. No wonder.

"Yeah, a little kitten. Um… it was only this big, meowing, and it was fiercely cute!" Baiye held out her hand to show its size. The little kitten was only slightly bigger than her palm. Its fur was all puffed up; it must be very comfortable to pet.

Lin Yuqing rolled her eyes at her. Fiercely cute? What kind of adjective was that?

Baiye giggled and snuggled onto Lin Yuqing's lap, lying on her stomach. "Auntie Lin…"

Hearing that tone, it was obvious she wanted to ask for something. Lin Yuqing didn't even have to think to know what she was up to. "No. Raising you is troublesome enough. I don't have the energy to raise a cat too."

"What! How am I troublesome!"

Lin Yuqing glanced at her. "When have you ever not been a handful?" She gently poked her little bottom.

Baiye hung her head, dejected.

Lin Yuqing pursed her lips into a smile. "What's the point of raising a cat? You can't even eat it. Why don't we buy a rabbit to raise? When it gets bigger, we can roast it and eat the meat."

"Aiya, Auntie Lin!" Baiye glanced back at her. "Who raises a pet to eat it!"

"I do."

"…" Fine, you win. Can't I just not get one then!

Although Baiye was reluctant, there was nothing she could do. When Auntie Lin changed the subject and started talking about random things, it meant there was no hope. She unhappily closed her eyes and put the matter of the kitten out of her mind.

Sensing that the little one in her arms was breathing steadily, as if she had fallen asleep, Lin Yuqing carefully placed her on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

She got up quietly and left the room.

She returned to the market they had just walked through and searched for a long time, but she couldn't find the person who had been selling cats. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She had really wanted to buy one to make the little one happy.

She had deliberately said she wouldn't buy it for her, just so she could secretly bring it back later and give the little one a surprise.

But now, her wishful thinking had come to nothing.

She searched for another round but really couldn't find them, so she had to give up. She went to a nearby pharmacy, bought a bottle of medicinal oil for swelling, and went home.

Xiao Ye was still sleeping, wheezing like a little piglet. Lin Yuqing sat by the bed and applied some medicine for her. After applying the cool towel for a while, it was already much better.

She pulled the pants down a bit more, revealing her thigh. She dripped the medicinal oil onto her hand and fumbled to apply it to the base of the little one's thigh. The movement startled the little one awake. She flinched, looked back, and was dazed for a moment.

"Auntie Lin, what are you doing!" she protested unhappily.

"Applying medicine for you. What's wrong?" Lin Yuqing was taken aback.

"But your hand…" Where is it rubbing!

"You were lying on your stomach, so I couldn't see the injury on your leg. I wanted to turn you over but was afraid of waking you, so I could only…" Lin Yuqing explained with an innocent look on her face.

Seeing the little one's disbelieving gaze, Lin Yuqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of image did she have in the little one's mind?!

"Alright, am I the type of person to take advantage of someone's predicament?" She raised her hand and tapped Xiao Ye's forehead, then pulled her over.

"Mmm…" It seems she really isn't.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt much anymore. Don't worry." Baiye shook her head, nuzzling her neck coaxingly.

"Mhm. I shouldn't have laid a hand on you in a fit of anger today. I'm sorry," Lin Yuqing apologized softly, her face full of guilt.

"And in the future?" Baiye put on a stern face, imitating the way Lin Yuqing always tried to intimidate her.

"I'll never hit you again. Even if you anger me to death, I'll accept it."

Lin Yuqing pressed her lips to her forehead, but the little one dodged away.

"Pah, pah, pah, what's all this talk about death? Am I… am I really that infuriating!"

"Give me a kiss." Lin Yuqing pouted her lips.

"No." The little one turned her head away and ignored her.

Lin Yuqing smiled helplessly, pressed her cheek against hers, and let it go.

She picked up the phone from the bedside table and saw that it was fully charged. She unplugged it and handed it to Xiao Ye. "Which auntie will you grace with your presence today?" she asked with a grin.

"Hmm… last week I graced Auntie Jiang and Auntie Fang. Today, I'll call Auntie and Auntie Xue."

"Okay." Lin Yuqing fiddled with the phone and started a video call with Xue Yuexian.

The call had just gone through when the other side immediately picked up. Looking at the screen, Lin Yuqing was clearly stunned to see Xue Yuexian, who had put on special makeup, seemed to be wearing an evening gown, and was preening for the camera.

"Who wants to see you? Hurry up and give the phone to my little baby~" Xue Yuexian complained.

Lin Yuqing was exasperated. Seeing the little one snickering beside her, she reached out, pinched her nose, and handed her the phone.

"Xiao Ye baby, look at Auntie, aren't I pretty~" Xue Yuexian was being super vain. She turned her head from side to side and even held the phone further away to barely show her upper body. She was indeed wearing an off-the-shoulder gown, and her cleavage was very prominent.

"Auntie is the prettiest~~" Baiye giggled.

"Mhm~ Our Xiao Ye sure knows what to say~ You guys are… Hey, Xiao Ye, why are your eyes red? Did you cry!?" On the other end, Xue Yuexian was taken aback and stared intently at the screen.

"Er…" Baiye glanced guiltily at Lin Yuqing.

"What happened? Did she bully you? Tell Auntie!" Xue Yuexian grew anxious, her voice rising considerably.

"No, no, Auntie, it's nothing." Baiye had a flash of inspiration. "I just made Auntie Lin angry, and she… scolded me a little."

"She dared to scold you? Give her the phone, I'll scold her back for you!"

"It's okay, Auntie, it's fine. She already apologized to me, and I've forgiven her."

"Apologized? I didn't hear it, so it doesn't count. Make her face the camera and say it again, seriously!"

Baiye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Yuqing, listening from the side, was also exasperated. She sat down behind Xiao Ye, wrapped her arms around her, rested her head against hers, and came into the frame.

"Alright. In front of you, I promise I will never be fierce with her again." After saying this to the camera, she turned her head to look at Xiao Ye. "I'll never be fierce with you again."

Baiye was a little touched. She turned her head and pressed her forehead against Lin Yuqing's lips.

"Xiao Ye, don't forgive her so easily!" Xue Yuexian was still giving advice from the other side, but just as the words left her mouth, she saw the two of them kissing…

"Hey! Xiao Ye! Can't you have a little self-respect! You'll spoil her rotten like this, and she won't know to cherish you!!!" Xue Yuexian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, just short of climbing out of the screen to forcibly separate them.

Baiye burst out laughing.

Lin Yuqing pointed at the screen. "Say one more word and I'm hanging up!"

"Lin Yuqing! What kind of attitude is that? I'm Xiao Ye's aunt, after all. If you want our family's Xiao Ye, you definitely can't escape calling me 'Auntie'! You'd better be more respectful to me now, and I can still…"

Finding her annoying, Lin Yuqing decisively pressed the mute button.

"Auntie Lin…" Baiye didn't have time to stop her. She watched Xue Yuexian on the screen, looking furious, but she could only see her mouth moving without hearing any sound. Although she felt a little bad for her, she still found it hilarious.

She couldn't help but snicker.

Lin Yuqing also smiled happily, like a child whose prank had succeeded.

"Auntie will be angry when she finds out," she whispered to Lin Yuqing.

"I don't care about her. As long as you're not angry with me, it's fine." Lin Yuqing brought her cheek close to Xiao Ye's mouth, waiting for the little one's loving kiss.

"You big villain…" Baiye chided softly, pouted, and gave her a light kiss, her face bashful.

"Mmm~" Lin Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that because she had been so fierce just now, she had scared the little one into not wanting to be close to her anymore. Thank goodness.

"I want to sit on your lap for a week. No, a month!"

"Okay~" Lin Yuqing agreed and immediately sat the little one on her lap.

Lin Yuqing held Xiao Ye's soft little body, rocking her gently, and looked at Xue Yuexian, who was still silently roaring on the phone screen.

"Guess what she's saying," she whispered close to Xiao Ye's ear.

"Hmm…" Baiye stared at Xue Yuexian's lip movements.

"'Lin Yuqing, you bastard! Let go of my Xiao Ye baby! If you bully my little baby, I'm not done with you!'" she guessed with a straight face.

Lin Yuqing chuckled. "Mhm, that sounds like something she'd say."

Xue Yuexian finally seemed to notice their little antics. She stopped talking, fuming like a little calf. She put the phone aside, placed her hands on her hips, and panted heavily. Great. So I've been cursing here for ten minutes, and not only did the two of them not hear a thing, but they were also being all lovey-dovey and even deliberately giving me all sorts of close-ups to make me jealous. You two are ruthless!

Baiye pressed the mute button, liberating Xue Yuexian.

"Auntie~~~"

"Don't call me that. I'm angry. Go live with your Auntie Lin."

"We are living together," Lin Yuqing added.

"You!" Xue Yuexian was so angry her lungs hurt. "How could Xiao Ye have fallen for a shameless person like you!"

"Alright, Auntie~ Don't be angry~ I'll bring you back some local specialties~"

Xue Yuexian was also very easy to coax. Er, no, it should be said that for Xiao Ye, she was very easy to coax. A little stroking of her fur and she was placated.

"When are you coming back?" As expected, she relented.

"Um… it'll probably be a while…" This question stumped Xiao Ye. For the time being… she had no plans to go back yet.

"Can you be back for the New Year?"

She paused. That's right, the New Year was less than two months away, but she hadn't had enough of living in the wooden house yet.

"Um…"

"We're not going back," Lin Yuqing said decisively. She hadn't had enough of it either and didn't want to go back so soon to be nagged by those meddlesome old mothers.

"You little thing, you're so happy you've forgotten to go home, haven't you?" Xue Yuexian smiled, hiding the trace of disappointment in her expression, not wanting to make things difficult for Xiao Ye.

"Xiao Ye, let Auntie tell you, don't let her bully you, and don't spoil her either. Throwing a little tantrum and being a bit willful from time to time is the secret to keeping love fresh."

Before Baiye could speak, Lin Yuqing cut in. "How about you first find someone who will let you be willful before you talk."

"I… I know more about this stuff than you! Even though I've never been in a serious relationship, I'm the best at figuring out a woman's mind. Xiao Ye, listen to Auntie. To deal with someone like her, the right way is to give a slap and then a sweet date. Don't give in to her; you have to make her give in to you. Otherwise, at her age, which is like a wolf or a tiger, she'll bully you to death." Xue Yuexian was clearly implying something.

Baiye's pretty face flushed red. She more or less understood.

Lin Yuqing was still confused, so Xue Yuexian made her words a little more direct.

"That thing is consensual. If you don't want to, no one can force you! Even if she wants it, you have to be willing to give it. You can't just compromise whenever she wants it. If it comes too easily, she won't know how to cherish it, understand? And you can't be excessive. She's been abstinent for too long and is pent up. You're different. You have to control it, get a hold on her, so that in the future she can only obediently follow you and dote on you, letting you have your way in everything." Xue Yuexian began to preach her guide to love, speaking very persuasively. After listening, Baiye felt it was very useful. She also felt that Auntie Lin had been a bit fierce lately.

This time, Lin Yuqing understood. "Xue Yuexian! The only problem between the two of us is you!" She hung up the phone directly. What kind of person does she think I am! A beast who can't be happy without desire! Isn't that her!

"Hey, Auntie Lin, Auntie will be angry!"

"I'm angry! She's just a shit-stirrer, all she knows is how to meddle!"

Baiye chuckled and patted Lin Yuqing's head. "Alright, alright, don't get your hackles up. Besides, even if you're cursing someone else, you shouldn't involve yourself…"

Lin Yuqing was speechless.

"Auntie was just joking, can't you tell? If she really wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn't have agreed to let us come out and have fun," she reasoned patiently.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore." She leaned over and rubbed the tip of her nose with her own.

"Hmm?"

"Mhm."

"Then I'll call Auntie Xue again to apologize. Hanging up on her like that was too rude, hmm?"

"Mhm."

Lin Yuqing sat quietly to the side, propping her arm up, watching the little one talk and laugh with Xue Yuexian. She fell into deep reflection. Actually, what Xue Yuexian said wasn't entirely without reason. The little one was indeed completely obedient to her, agreeing to everything. This was especially true when it came to that. Whenever she wanted it, she would give it. Was she forcing her too much?

Recalling those three times, was there any time when the little one was particularly unwilling but had to deliberately accommodate her…

It seems… eh… probably not…

No, it was probably because I was too excited and didn't notice. I'm always so careless.

Tsk, forget it. I should control this damn desire.

How could Baiye know that while she was just chatting, Lin Yuqing had thought about so much? After hanging up, she called Xia Xiaozi and her mother Xia Nan to let them know she was safe. Speaking of Xia Nan, she really had to thank her properly. Thank her for always supporting all her decisions at critical moments, for her unconditional trust and understanding, and for always showing her the greatest tolerance. She was truly the best mother in the world!

She chatted with her briefly, then hung up. Baiye let out a long breath. To be honest, after not seeing those aunties for a few months, she really did miss them a little.

She glanced at the time. It was almost three o'clock. "Auntie Lin, we should head back. It'll be dark soon." She looked back at Lin Yuqing.

"Okay, let's go."

On the way, Lin Yuqing carried the purchased items herself, occupying both her hands, so she couldn't hold hands with the little one.

"Does it still hurt?" Lin Yuqing strode ahead, suddenly remembering. She asked, concerned.

"No, it doesn't hurt at all anymore."

Baiye quickened her pace to walk beside her, wanting to help carry some things to share the load, but she was refused.

A little unwilling to give up, Baiye hooked her left hand around Lin Yuqing's right wrist, forcing them to hold hands.

Lin Yuqing let out a casual, soft laugh. Without looking back, she continued to stride forward.

After getting home, Baiye went to prepare dinner. Lin Yuqing put away the things she had bought, then went straight to the bedroom. She rummaged through the suitcase and pulled out long-sleeved pajamas for both of them, placing them on the bed.

Step one in controlling desire: Prohibit touching the little one's tempting, naked body!

In the living room, Baiye brought the dishes to the table and called Lin Yuqing out to eat.

Just as Lin Yuqing sat down, Baiye moved to her side, wanting to sit on her lap.

Lin Yuqing froze and held her back, not letting her sit down.

"Hmm?" She looked at her, puzzled.

"You promised to let me sit on you for this whole month!"

"…" Lin Yuqing pressed her lips together. "Since it doesn't hurt anymore, let's just forget it."

"???"

"How can you go back on your word like that!" she protested unhappily.

"Be good," Lin Yuqing coaxed her softly.

Step two in controlling desire: Reduce overly intimate physical contact!

Baiye sulkily walked back to her seat and plopped down. "Ouch…"

"Your acting is too poor. Eat your food properly."

"…" This isn't her Auntie Lin! Absolutely not!

After clearing the dishes, Baiye washed her hands and ran back to the bedroom. She couldn't wait to hug Auntie Lin with her cold hands; Auntie Lin would thoughtfully take her little paws and warm them up for her~

However, her thoughts were nice, but…

When she saw that Auntie Lin had already changed into her winter pajamas—long sleeves and long pants—and was wrapped up tightly, leaning against the headboard reading a book, Baiye, holding her own pajamas, was completely dumbfounded.

"Auntie Lin, it's so warm in the house, you don't need to wear long-sleeved pajamas."

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing said, "From now on, we won't burn firewood at night. We need to reduce air pollution. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility."

"…"
