“This is an office, isn’t it? It’s a bit… improper.”
Jiu Hui swallowed, making a last, desperate struggle. Powerless to resist on her own, she could only hope that Lisa would show some restraint and give up.
Under normal circumstances, Jiu Hui wouldn’t have panicked to this extent. While such incidents had occurred occasionally over the past few days, they usually only involved playful touches, never escalating to this point. Today, Lisa seemed different to Jiu Hui. Even though Jiu Hui slept with Lisa every night and Lisa would sometimes tease her in the evenings, Jiu Hui had never seen Lisa look so wanton as she did now. Her entire body glowed with an eerie peach-pink hue, and her brilliant, jewel-red eyes appeared somewhat defiled.
“It’s fine,” Lisa murmured softly, a smile playing on her lips, her face flushed. “No one will come in. Even if someone tried, I wouldn’t let them interrupt our… good time.”
“But…” Jiu Hui tried to speak further.
Just then, Lisa subtly shifted her leg, pressing upward.
“Mm~” Jiu Hui let out a soft whimper. A jolt, like an electric current, coursed through her body, draining her of all strength. Her soft, boneless frame collapsed limply into Lisa’s embrace.
“Mmm-hmm~” Lisa chuckled, her smile deepening as she held Jiu Hui’s lithe body close. She lightly licked Jiu Hui’s lips.
“Truly, adorably sensitive, aren’t you?”
Hearing Lisa’s words, Jiu Hui was now regretting her earlier actions towards Lisa so fiercely her intestines felt twisted. ‘Why did I have to tease this lecherous woman when I had nothing better to do?’ she thought. ‘Now look, I’ve gotten myself into this.’
Gazing at Lisa’s jewel-red eyes, which were now almost completely shadowed, and feeling Lisa’s leg gently rub between her own, Jiu Hui’s consciousness began to cloud amidst waves of electric numbness.
Lisa looked at Jiu Hui’s eyes, now shimmering with a watery sheen, and gently pressed her own soft lips against Jiu Hui’s. With her left arm wrapped around Jiu Hui’s waist, her right hand traced the curve of Jiu Hui’s body downwards.
The moment Lisa’s fingertips brushed past Jiu Hui’s flat stomach and moved lower, Jiu Hui’s body trembled. Then, the world turned grey.
****
Lisa’s movements ceased. Everything around them fell into an eerie stillness. A cursor appeared before Jiu Hui’s eyes.
[Saving game…]
*Whoosh!*
Just as Jiu Hui registered what had happened and a sigh of relief escaped her, her vision suddenly went black.
****
In a pitch-black room, Jiu Hui opened her eyes. Taking in her surroundings by the moonlight, she felt a slight sense of relief, but a sudden, inexplicable feeling of loss startled her.
Shaking her head sharply to suppress the lingering disappointment, Jiu Hui got out of bed and walked to the table, picking up her phone to check the time.
‘If I’m not mistaken,’ she mused, ‘this is the exact time I left last. Combined with what happened before, it means every instance of this so-called “stand-alone” or “save” is precisely linked. Whenever I leave, I return to the same moment.’
With this realization, a great weight lifted from Jiu Hui’s mind. At least she wouldn’t have to worry about mysteriously disappearing for periods of time.
However, another thought immediately struck Jiu Hui, her face stiffening.
‘Does that mean the next time I go back, I’ll still be in *that* situation?!’
Recalling the earlier events, Jiu Hui’s face flushed, and her legs instinctively pressed together.
Suddenly, a soft creak echoed as Jiu Hui’s door opened a crack, and a small head peeked inside.
‘Jiu Hua? What is she up to?’
Jiu Hui felt a flicker of doubt. Just then, Jiu Hua spotted Jiu Hui standing by the table, her heart jolting in surprise, a look of panic flashing across her face.
“Sis, Sister, you’re not asleep yet?” Jiu Hua stammered, her voice tinged with panic, her expression stiff, like a child caught in the act of mischief.
“No,” Jiu Hui replied with a gentle smile, nodding. “I couldn’t quite sleep. It’s so late; is there something you need?”
“I couldn’t sleep either,” Jiu Hua said, her panic gradually fading as she looked at Jiu Hui’s soft, smiling face. She smiled back.
She hadn’t intended to come, but recalling the sensation of her sister’s kiss during the day, her heart had been too stirred to sleep. Watching the clock’s hour hand creep past three, she had, as if possessed, gotten out of bed and walked to Jiu Hui’s door. She had assumed her sister would be asleep by now, but to her surprise, Jiu Hui was also awake, and thus she was discovered.
Pressing her lips together, Jiu Hua looked at Jiu Hui, who stood bathed in moonlight, and a sudden impulse surged within her.
“Sister, let’s sleep together tonight!”
‘Eh?’
Jiu Hui was slightly startled, looking at Jiu Hua with a touch of surprise. She was actually aware of Jiu Hua’s purpose in coming at this hour, but she had expected Jiu Hua to retreat once discovered. To her astonishment, Jiu Hua had voiced her desire directly, leaving Jiu Hui momentarily stunned and speechless.
Seeing Jiu Hui’s lack of response, Jiu Hua’s eyes darkened. Then, she offered Jiu Hui a smile that looked somewhat forced and pained. “Never mind. If it’s too much trouble for you, Sister, then I apologize for disturbing you.”
With that, Jiu Hua turned to leave. But just then, Jiu Hui snapped out of her daze. Seeing Jiu Hua’s strained smile, her heart gave a slight tug. She then smiled and said, “Alright.”
‘Hm?’
Jiu Hua spun around abruptly, her face full of astonishment. Seeing the smile on Jiu Hui’s face, she was instantly filled with a pleasant surprise.
Jiu Hui smiled at Jiu Hua’s delighted expression, then walked over to her, ruffled her hair, and took her hand, leading her towards the bed.
On the bed,
Jiu Hui lay down, and Jiu Hua nestled beside her, her arm wrapped around Jiu Hui’s waist, her head buried in Jiu Hui’s chest, a blissful smile gracing her face.
“Sister’s chest is really soft.”
Jiu Hui looked at Jiu Hua, curled up in her arms, and a smile touched her lips as she remembered her younger sister always clinging to her as a child. Reaching out, she embraced Jiu Hua and gently closed her eyes.
The night passed without another word.
****
The next morning,
Jiu Hui was still deep in slumber, while Jiu Hua, nestled in her embrace, slowly opened her eyes. Rubbing them gently, she gazed at Jiu Hui’s sweetly sleeping face, her lips curving into a soft smile.
Slowly, she extended a hand and gently stroked Jiu Hui’s face. The smooth, soft skin sent a ripple through Jiu Hua’s heart.
Her gaze drifted lower, settling on Jiu Hui’s slightly parted lips. The soft, tender lips, moving faintly, stirred something deep within Jiu Hua.
Her eyes continued to drop, and suddenly, Jiu Hua’s pupils constricted. Her body trembled, and her adorable little face twisted into a terrifying snarl!
Jiu Hua’s gaze was fixed on the red ‘strawberry’ mark on Jiu Hui’s neck!
It was the hickey Lisa had left on Jiu Hui’s neck earlier!
‘Who was it??!!!’
Jiu Hua roared internally, bloodshot veins appearing in her eyes!
