Indulgence - Chapter 63
Chapter 63
Yao Ran was usually very busy; business trips and overtime were common occurrences. Let alone going on dates, the two of them even had to make "appointments" just to see each other.
Jiang Nian felt a little aggrieved.
Yao Ran looked at Jiang Nian quietly.
Was moving in together too fast? Jiang Nian didn't say anything more. She smiled and picked up the fork beside her to eat the steak. Her cheeks puffed out slightly as she ate. "This is so good."
Yao Ran: "I'm glad you like it."
Jiang Nian speared a piece and fed it to her lips.
"I'm not hungry, you eat."
"You cooked so much for me, I can't finish it all." Jiang Nian looked at the huge plate full of meat and felt quite pressured.
Yao Ran, seeing that Jiang Nian usually had a good appetite, had made a portion and a half tonight. She complied and took a bite of the steak Jiang Nian fed her, helping to finish some of it.
Jiang Nian nonchalantly popped the remaining half-eaten piece into her own mouth and ate it with relish. The steak was substantial. She finished most of it and was almost stuffed.
It was deep into the night, the darkness long and serene. The starry sky was beautiful tonight. Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see specks of light twinkling in the night sky.
When Yao Ran came out of the shower wrapped in a bathrobe, she found Jiang Nian quietly nestled in the bedding, sleeping soundly. She must have been truly exhausted today.
Moving lightly, Yao Ran quietly lifted the covers and lay down on the other side of the bed. The person beside her turned and squirmed, quickly pressing closer and half-hugging her waist.
Jiang Nian wasn't awake; she looked to be in a dead sleep.
Yao Ran smiled silently. She also enjoyed quiet and simple nights like this. Compared to impulsive and wild passion, this kind of tranquility was more reassuring.
Her gaze lingered on Jiang Nian's sleeping face for a while longer. She didn't know exactly when it started, but when Jiang Nian was with her, her nights became exceptionally comfortable and peaceful.
Jiang Nian slept soundly until the next morning.
Today was Sunday, and she had to go to the company in the morning. Yao Ran drove her as usual.
Yao Ran's biological clock was eternally fixed. As long as she didn't mess around with Jiang Nian too late the night before, she could always get up on time the next day. All the exceptions in her life were broken by Jiang Nian.
September was the height of summer. The early morning was bright and sunny, putting people in a brilliant mood.
The car windows were open, and a sun-scented breeze blew in.
The early summer morning breeze wasn't stuffy; it was pleasant. Jiang Nian's hair danced slightly. Bathed in the sunlight, she hummed a rather sweet little tune.
While waiting at a red light, Yao Ran turned to glance at her. Miss Jiang really was like "summer," always able to maintain a vibrant appearance. To have such passion at their age was a rare thing. No wonder Jiang Nian had so many friends.
The drive from the residential complex to Spring Breeze Lane wasn't far, about a ten-minute journey.
Yao Ran stopped the car steadily by the side of the road.
Jiang Nian didn't get out of the car right away. It was still early, so she wasn't in a hurry. She looked at Yao Ran, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Yao Ran looked at her too. After a moment of mutual silence, she asked Jiang Nian, "Do you want to move in?"
It seemed that was what Jiang Nian meant last night.
"Huh?" Jiang Nian was surprised that Yao Ran brought it up. Actually, what she had wanted to say just now was: If you're free today, can you come pick me up from work tonight?
"You can come live at my place," Yao Ran rephrased it as a statement. That way, Jiang Nian wouldn't have to find all sorts of excuses... no water, no electricity, fear of thunder.
Jiang Nian's face broke into a smile, and she nodded quickly. Her voice was full of laughter. "Then I'm off to work?"
Yao Ran nodded too. "Mmm."
Jiang Nian still didn't get out of the car.
Yao Ran: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Nian leaned over and gave Yao Ran a kiss on the lips, even making a distinct "muah" sound. Then she stared at her with a very direct gaze, a naked hint.
Yao Ran and Jiang Nian already had a certain chemistry. She met Jiang Nian's insistent gaze, and after a moment, she gently kissed the corner of Jiang Nian's mouth. After the kiss, she said softly, "Go on."
It was a very proper kind of sweetness. Jiang Nian was satisfied. She looked at Yao Ran with smiling eyes. "See you tonight."
Yao Ran watched as Jiang Nian walked towards the studio with a cheerful gait until her back disappeared. She sat in the car and smiled to herself for a while.
In reality, Jiang Nian had been finding excuses to go over to Yao Ran's place every few days. The house already bore traces of two people living together.
Time spent in each other's company flowed by unknowingly fast. After October, the peak season for tattoos passed. The orders at Jiang Nian's studio decreased, and she entered a relatively idle state. Yao Ran, however, was as busy as ever.
Yao Ran used to take a hot bath once or twice a week, but after Jiang Nian moved in, the frequency increased.
In the bathtub, Jiang Nian sat behind Yao Ran, their bodies covered in wet water droplets. She massaged Yao Ran's waist in the hot water. "Is this comfortable?"
Yao Ran squinted her eyes. She hadn't intended to let Jiang Nian in. Jiang Nian had insisted on giving her a massage and shamelessly squeezed in.
She called it a massage, but there wasn't a single pure thought behind it. Yao Ran had long guessed it wouldn't be that simple. She turned her head and gave Jiang Nian a light glance.
As she expected, Jiang Nian couldn't wait to kiss her. Her long fingers were still massaging, but in a different spot.
Yao Ran's waist went soft, and she leaned back directly. Seeing this, Jiang Nian held her tightly in the water and squeezed a pump of essential oil into her palm.
The bathroom was filled with steam, and the scent of rose essential oil began to permeate the air. The smell was enchanting and ambiguous, especially as the two of them kissed while rubbing their bodies against each other, their palms carefully applying the oil.
"Is it comfortable?" Jiang Nian pressed, asking by her ear.
Yao Ran had no time to answer. The moment their eyes met, their lips locked in a deep French kiss, their chemistry boundless.
Jiang Nian held the back of Yao Ran's neck and kissed her fiercely. A deep kiss with both parties taking the initiative was scorching. Yao Ran's two personas were really at two extremes. In the afternoon meeting, Director Yao had been so ascetic, like she was "frigid." But as soon as they were home, just the two of them, every part of her was wet and hot.
They were at it again. Yao Ran's heart burned at the thought. Jiang Nian's energy was greater than she had imagined. Now that they were living together, she was even less restrained.
"Are you tired tonight?" Jiang Nian wasn't completely reckless. If Yao Ran was tired, she wouldn't entangle her for too long.
Yao Ran unexpectedly let out a soft sigh.
Jiang Nian understood. It was a look of tacit consent.
Gradually, the water in the bathtub overflowed, ring by ring, as if in some kind of rhythm.
Smooth skin rubbed until it was scalding hot. Jiang Nian kissed Yao Ran's cool profile, now flushed with a blush, and smiled secretly.
As if in punishment, Yao Ran scooped up water and splashed it on her face.
A moment later, accompanied by soft laughter and sucking kisses, the ripples in the bathtub became wanton again, and pants, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, began to sound out loud.
"Ran Ran." When facing Yao Ran, Jiang Nian always blushed quickly. After a few moves, she couldn't stop the soft hums from her nose, and then the melodious sounds from her throat. "Mmm, mmm, feels so good..."
Yao Ran couldn't seal her lips. Jiang Nian kept humming even as they kissed, completely unable to be reserved.
Fortunately, the soundproofing in this house was good enough.
Yao Ran thought back to their first time. They had been passionate in a hotel bathtub as well... Having started like that, it was destined that they couldn't be restrained together.
Indulgence filled with love was even more addictive.
Jiang Nian hugged her limply. Yao Ran promptly wrapped her arms around her. They pressed against each other, calming down. She looked at Jiang Nian and said softly, "Let's get out."
Jiang Nian nodded with a smile, buried her face in her neck, and gave her a kiss. She loved seeing her speak so gently after pleasure.
Back on the bed in the bedroom, they hugged each other by the waist, their lips meeting in a kiss.
Every time after an intense session, Jiang Nian loved to hold Yao Ran and kiss her for a while longer. Perhaps it was because in the past, after they had sex, Yao Ran would always give her a cold look. Now, it felt like she couldn't compensate enough.
A smile played on Jiang Nian's lips as she kissed her forcefully, one after another. Yao Ran indulged her, enjoying it in her heart, but she still marveled at Jiang Nian's passion. How was it like a fire that would never be extinguished?
The sweetness from hugs and kisses was more lasting. After all, only with enough affection could one kiss with such fascination and heart-stirring emotion.
Their lips parted. Jiang Nian panted softly and said, "Sister Ruan is treating us to dinner tomorrow night. She said a friend of hers opened a new restaurant, and it's very good."
Yao Ran's eyes were relaxed and lazy. She looked at Jiang Nian. "You like to eat that much?"
"Not only do I like to eat, I also like to drink." Jiang Nian's gaze swept over Yao Ran's face. "You know that best, don't you?"
Yao Ran was at a loss for words.
"What impure thoughts are you having?" Jiang Nian smiled. "You're clearly the one who's not proper at all."
"Jiang Nian."
"Am I wrong?" Jiang Nian's eyes were bewitching, and she spoke with a sense of grievance. "In the past, the moment you saw me, you wanted to have sex with me. I wanted to be your girlfriend, but you just wanted to sleep with me."
Yao Ran: "..."
Jiang Nian pursed her lips and smiled, looking delighted.
Yao Ran glanced at her and said coolly, "Say one more word and you can sleep next door."
But Jiang Nian whispered to her, "You wouldn't be able to bear it. You like to hold me when you sleep at night."
So shameless. Yao Ran couldn't help but laugh. She said lazily, "Time for bed."
"Mmm." Jiang Nian was very sensible and offered herself up, providing obedient bed-warming and sleep-inducing services with a sweet smile.
Yao Ran's smile deepened. Jiang Nian was certainly thick-skinned, but she wasn't wrong. Having a girlfriend like this was indeed very blissful.
-
The next evening, Jiang Nian and Yao Ran arrived at the restaurant earlier than Ruan Xin. Ruan Xin had booked a table in advance. It was by the window with a wide view of the lake outside.
"Sorry, there was traffic on the way. I'm a little late."
"It's okay, we just got here too," Jiang Nian said with a smile.
They had ordered a set meal for three. Now that everyone was here, they could just serve the food.
Ruan Xin took a sip of lemon water to quench her thirst. As she tilted her neck back, Jiang Nian and Yao Ran both noticed a rather conspicuous mark on her neck.
Yao Ran could now naturally guess how it got there with just one look. Jiang Nian loved to leave marks on her. In fact, she had vaguely guessed that something was going on with Ruan Xin...
Jiang Nian didn't think as much as Yao Ran. The moment she saw it, she teased Ruan Xin directly, "Sister Ruan, been living well recently?"
Ruan Xin put down her glass. "Hmm?"
Jiang Nian pointed to her own neck to hint.
Ruan Xin understood quickly. She gave an awkward smile. After that day, Xu Xia had been giving her the cold shoulder for almost a month. She had just coaxed her back two days ago. The little girl probably still had some anger in her. She was usually so measured, but last night she had been reckless for once.
"Are you in a relationship?"
Yao Ran also asked Ruan Xin at the right moment.
Ruan Xin took another sip of water and replied with a faint smile, "Mmm, for a while now."
"How come I never heard you mention it?" Yao Ran smiled. According to Ruan Xin's personality, the moment she started dating, she would want the whole world to know.
Ruan Xin smiled again.
Yao Ran noticed Ruan Xin's strange, hesitant state. It was too abnormal. She lowered her eyes and didn't press with gossip.
It was Jiang Nian, however, who was close to figuring it out. Actually, during their trip to East Lake, the sounds from the hotel room next door were probably from Ruan Xin and Xu Xia.
Ruan Xin said, "Don't be scared when I tell you."
Yao Ran looked up at her.
Ruan Xin didn't plan to hide it anymore. Being straightforward was more her style. "Xu Xia and I are together."
Jiang Nian wasn't surprised. It was too obvious. Ruan Xin and Xu Xia were clearly the kind of "sisters" who would sleep together.
Yao Ran was silent for a long time. She had vaguely sensed that Ruan Xin and Xu Xia's relationship wasn't quite right, but hearing Ruan Xin say it herself, she was still surprised. However, she had never been one to show her emotions openly. She just asked softly, "Are you serious?"
Ruan Xin smiled with relief. "I'm serious, not kidding."
Yao Ran was silent again.
"Getting a girlfriend this young..." Ruan Xin took a breath and said nonchalantly, "And I watched Xu Xia grow up. I know it's hard for you to accept."
At this, Jiang Nian also lowered her eyes and became quiet.
Yao Ran didn't know what to say. It wasn't her place to accept it or not, but she just hadn't expected Ruan Xin to actually end up with Xu Xia. She replied to Ruan Xin, "I always thought you saw her as a little sister."
Ruan Xin smiled helplessly. "Can't help it when you fall in love. I'm serious. Actually, age isn't that important, right?"
Jiang Nian agreed quickly, "Mmm."
