It was already late when Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen came out of Zhou's tailor shop. When they returned to Bao'an Hall, Xu Xian had already woken up and returned to Wu's residence. Bai Suzhen asked the Five Dragon Envoys and confirmed that Xu Xian had no memory of what happened before he woke up, and didn't know that he had been frightened to death, so she was relieved.
At dinner time, the five dragon envoys left early one after another with excuses, leaving Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen alone.
"It's good that the five of them are sensible." Xiaoqing was very satisfied that there were no five troublesome guys around. She supported her chin with one hand, raised the corner of her mouth, and stared at Bai Suzhen without blinking. During the days they were apart, she was in the Dragon Palace but her heart was in Suzhou. She really suffered from the pain of missing her. Now that she has returned, her lover is right in front of her, so there is no reason not to look at her to her heart's content.
Bai Suzhen picked up a few dishes that Xiaoqing liked and put them in her bowl. She looked up at Xiaoqing, smiled slightly, and called out, "Qing'er—"
"Yeah." Xiaoqing crossed her hands, changed into a more comfortable posture, leaned forward slightly, and pretended to listen.
Bai Suzhen curled her lips and said with a smile, "Well... it seems that either the food tonight doesn't suit your appetite or you are not hungry at this moment..."
"Hmm." Xiaoqing responded absentmindedly, her eyes falling on Bai Suzhen's soft and light red lips. She couldn't help but think of the fragrance and sweetness between her lips and teeth. Her heart was slightly moved, and she didn't hear the words spoken from those fragrant lips at all.
Bai Suzhen saw that Xiaoqing was completely distracted. She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just smiled and shook her head. She looked at Xiaoqing steadily, pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, then suddenly put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
Xiaoqing looked up blankly, looking at Bai Suzhen with a puzzled face, but saw Bai Suzhen smile gently and said softly: "Qing'er, you continue to be in a daze, I won't accompany you." Then she turned around and walked out.
Xiao Qing was startled, then suddenly came to her senses, stood up suddenly, and shouted at Bai Suzhen's departing figure: "Sister, where are you going?"
"Go back to the house and rest." Bai Suzhen had already walked far away, and her gentle voice came from afar. Xiaoqing was very anxious. She stomped her feet and shouted loudly: "Sister, wait for me..." and then she ran out.
"Sister—" Bai Suzhen had just stepped into the room when Xiaoqing caught up with her.
"Qing'er, it's getting late. I need to rest." Bai Suzhen didn't even look at Xiaoqing. She stretched out her hand to close the door. Xiaoqing was quick-witted and quickly put one hand against the door, unwillingly saying, "Sister, it's still very early. Why are you in such a hurry to rest... We have been separated for so many days. Don't you have anything to say to me?" She turned away, lowered her head and muttered in a muffled voice, "I have a lot of things to say to you..." Her tone was a little resentful.
"Oh? Really?" Bai Suzhen leaned against the door and looked at Xiaoqing, her eyes full of smiles, but she deliberately said in a nonchalant tone: "But just now someone was just staring blankly and ignored me."
Hearing some complaints in Bai Suzhen's tone, Xiaoqing was very anxious and blurted out: "How could I ignore you, I just want to see you more..." Before she could explain, she looked up and saw Bai Suzhen looking at her with a smile on her face. Xiaoqing's mind moved, and she suddenly realized that she had been fooled. She curled her lips unwillingly and said: "Huh, so my sister can play tricks on people."
Seeing Xiaoqing's sullen expression and the look of being cheated, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but laugh.
Xiaoqing glared at her, raised her eyebrows suddenly, took a step forward, and approached Bai Suzhen abruptly. She put one hand on the door and put her other hand around Bai Suzhen's waist. She got close to Bai Suzhen, looked into her eyes, curled her lips and whispered, "Tease me, let me see how I punish you."
Bai Suzhen put her hands on Xiaoqing's shoulders, her eyelashes fluttered, and her breathing was slightly disordered. Xiaoqing exerted a little force on her hands, hugged Bai Suzhen tightly, and lowered her head to kiss her red lips as beautiful as flowers. Bai Suzhen blushed, turned slightly sideways, and turned her head away. Xiaoqing's lips brushed against her cheek.
Xiaoqing's kiss failed, but she was not disappointed. She reached out to straighten Bai Suzhen's body, narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at her for a moment, suddenly smiled, loosened her hand, stepped back, and saw a glimpse of the surprise and loss that flashed across Bai Suzhen's eyes, and she smiled secretly in her heart.
"Since my sister refuses to be punished..." Xiaoqing walked around Bai Suzhen and walked into the room. She put her hands behind her back and slowly walked to the bed. She looked at the neatly-made bed with a sly smile in her eyes. She curled her lips, looked back at Bai Suzhen, and said happily, "Forget it then." After a pause, she said, "Just give me half of the bed."
What Xiaoqing said was obviously beyond Bai Suzhen's expectations. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she saw Xiaoqing had unceremoniously climbed onto the bed and lay down on it with the quilt in her arms.
"Sister, your bed is so comfortable." Xiaoqing lay on the bed and closed her eyes comfortably. The pillow and quilt were filled with the faint fragrance of Bai Suzhen, which lingered around her nose and smelled very pleasant.
After waiting for a while without hearing Bai Suzhen's voice, Xiaoqing heard footsteps, so she opened her eyes and looked at Bai Suzhen, who was walking from the door to the bed. "Sister, I'll leave this half of the bed for you. I'll sleep on the inside." She leaned to the inside of the bed, made some space, and lay on her side, with a sly smile and nervous anticipation in her eyes.
Bai Suzhen knew what Xiaoqing was up to. She stared at Xiaoqing for a moment, smiled and shook her head gently, and said slowly: "If Qing'er likes this bed, I will give it all to you."
Xiaoqing blurted out, "What about you, sister?"
Bai Suzhen smiled and said calmly, "I'll go to your room and sleep."
"Sister!" Xiao Qing frowned and objected directly: "I don't agree!"
Bai Suzhen smiled sweetly and said softly, "Qing'er, go to bed early. Good night." She turned around gracefully, but before she could take a step, Xiaoqing hugged her from behind. She fell backwards, and she let out a low "ah" and fell into the soft arms behind her.
"Sister, I won't let you go anywhere." Xiaoqing held Bai Suzhen tightly, and said in a way that was three parts domineering and seven parts coquettish.
"Qing'er, stop making trouble. Okay, let go..." Bai Suzhen patted Xiaoqing's hands clasped at her waist, and said softly with a smile: "Let's have a good talk."
"Sister, I don't want to sleep alone tonight. Can you let me stay?" Xiaoqing pressed her body against Bai Suzhen's, with her head resting on Bai Suzhen's shoulder, and asked tentatively.
",,,,,,,"
"I just want to hold you like this forever..." Xiaoqing closed her eyes and whispered in Bai Suzhen's ear: "Just hold you like this... Let me stay."
Bai Suzhen relaxed her body and leaned quietly in Xiaoqing's arms, listening to each other's heartbeats. She felt unprecedented peace and tranquility in her heart. After a moment of silence, she turned her head slightly, her gentle eyes fell on Xiaoqing, pursed her lips and smiled, as if pondering, "Well... as long as someone can guarantee to be honest and have no bad intentions all night, then... I agree."
Xiao Qing was overjoyed and nodded immediately: "I promise to be honest."
