In Gu Qingtong’s eyes, there were glistening tears, but she was so startled by Yan Chi’s reaction that she couldn’t even bring herself to cry, appearing on the verge of tears.
Though she had a mischievous personality, she was particularly skilled at reading others’ expressions. The moment she saw Yan Chi’s current expression, Gu Qingtong instinctively turned into a bundle of nerves. If it weren’t really hurting, she wouldn’t have said those words.
“It hurts just like this? I haven’t done anything yet.” Yan Chi’s gaze deepened as she observed Gu Qingtong’s expression, an enigmatic quality to her eyes.
The atmosphere around them seemed to grow tense and restless in that instant. Just as everyone thought Yan Chi was about to do something, the two of them inexplicably froze in place.
After a eerie silence, Yan Chi suddenly released Gu Qingtong in front of her, turned around casually, and looked towards the filming crew in the distance.
“Is this task finished?” Her voice held no discernible emotions, lacking the fluctuations from earlier. Yet, compared to her soft and pleasant tone just moments ago, her manner of speaking seemed to have finally returned to normal.
The filming crew, equally bewildered, finally dared to make some noise. At this moment, they hurriedly exclaimed: “Finished, it’s finished…”
And to top it off, they shamelessly added: “Without any issues, we can continue with the next steps!”
“No issues,” which almost became an on-set mishap.
As they spoke, they sneakily turned their heads to look in Gu Qingtong’s direction, wanting to check if anything had happened to the junior actress who had inadvertently stirred up trouble.
Beneath the mottled and dim tree shadows, her expression was impossible to discern.
Only Gu Qingtong’s bowed head staring at her own toes and the way her hands were tightly intertwined appeared in sight, seemingly even more uneasy than before. No one knew that the reason Yan Chi had calmed down and continued filming was simply because Gu Qingtong had chosen the latter option from the two she had given.
The cost of temporarily hiding her emotions was a result akin to a storm after a calm. Unfortunately, Gu Qingtong had no other choice. The filming crew had indeed been dumbfounded and their minds had gone blank.
Now, as the atmosphere gradually eased, everyone’s minds began to generate thoughts. Yan Chi had never been an approachable figure, whether it was her icy demeanor or distant personality, they all instilled a certain fear in people, an inherent respect that stemmed from her very nature.
Through this variety show experience, it was only now that they realized Yan Chi’s level of cooperation with the tasks was actually quite high. It was precisely this affability that allowed the production crew to dare to choose such a prankish plan. Moreover, the one executing the task was Gu Qingtong, and even if the sky were to fall, she would be there to bear it!
Yan Chi’s anger after being pranked was evident to all. The situation just now was even more serious than what the production crew had anticipated. As for Gu Qingtong, she seemed utterly useless, wilting like a piece of paper at the slightest scare.
The production crew was also worried that Yan Chi might blame them for the excessive task they arranged. However, when they thought “Why is she angry?” crossed their minds, they began to feel uncertain again. No one had dared to prank teacher Yan before!
So, nobody had any idea whether Yan Chi was simply unable to take a joke or if she had genuinely taken this confession…seriously?
When the latter possibility arose in everyone’s minds, their initial reaction was disbelief. After all, Gu Qingtong, this little nobody, apart from this variety show, what other interactions could she have with Yan Chi?
The intimacy between them on the show was just a result of the production team’s setup. The crew members weren’t ordinary viewers; they weren’t misled by deliberate editing and were well aware of Gu Qingtong’s various attempts to keep her distance and show respect to Yan Chi.
However, upon careful consideration, a sudden realization struck them. While Gu Qingtong seemed unaffected, it was Yan Chi’s attitude towards her “forcibly paired partner” that seemed blatantly inconsistent and contradictory, especially when compared to her usual aloofness towards others. This contrast made the whole situation even more unsettling.
No way, right? Yan Chi couldn’t possibly have developed some different feelings for her, her little junior, all because of this dating-themed variety show, could she?
Recalling the fifteen years since the actress’s debut, during which there were no rumors linking her to any men, rumors had circulated speculating about her being a lesbian. In an instant, everyone felt that the relationship between Yan Chi and Gu Qingtong was like a tangled mess.
When they looked at Gu Qingtong again, their gazes were already filled with curiosity for the gossip. Unfortunately, neither of them provided any useful information; they just remained silent and continued filming.
Perhaps due to the close call with the failed prank, all the crew members of the show quickened their pace, eager to finish filming for the day, fearing the fire might spread to them.
Upon returning to the task completion point, they realized that the “Silent Gaze” team had been the quickest to finish. The other two teams’ participants were nowhere to be seen, leaving everyone anxious and waiting.
As the chief instigator, Director Bu had been waiting for Gu and Yan at the task completion point. He appeared quite restless. Gu Qingtong didn’t dare to utter a word to Yan Chi, already feeling frustrated and fearful. Seeing Director Bu triggered her rebellious side and she glared fiercely at him.
If her gaze could turn into knives, Director Bu would have been shredded to pieces under her angry stare.
As one of the few people who knew a bit about the behind-the-scenes details, Director Bu had originally intended to assist the two during this segment. He aimed to create a bit of ambiguous chemistry between them, thinking he was being clever. But he hadn’t expected it to turn into such a mess, leaving him in a state of panic.
At this moment, he couldn’t even spare a thought to help Gu Qingtong explain herself. He quickly distanced himself from the blame, with a helpless look directed at her, before hesitantly asking: “Qingtong, about that task just now…does teacher Yan know that our production team provided options?”
Gu Qingtong’s breath almost stopped as she recalled the options; a kiss or a fake confession.
It was obvious that in order to avoid social death on camera, she had chosen the option of her own demise. The words “it’s over” floated in Gu Qingtong’s mind, and she wished she could turn back time to a few hours ago. If only she had known to choose the kiss!
As those thoughts brewed in her mind, Yan Chi’s previously quiet expression couldn’t help but shift. She spoke up, asking: “What options?”
Her obvious interest was fully observed by the production team members.
Director Bu proceeded to reveal the whole story to Yan Chi: how Gu Qingtong had written fanfiction on set, and the entire rule of the prank. He disclosed everything step by step to Yan Chi, even going so far as to show her a few pages of the fanfiction. It was as if he had uncovered all of Gu Qingtong’s secrets.
The realization that Yan Chi was now aware of all the varieties of kisses and intimate scenes she had written about in the fanfiction made Gu Qingtong’s heart race.
Gu Qingtong felt even more despair, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within her. She was utterly embarrassed and didn’t want to face anyone. She simply turned her head away, thinking that out of sight was out of mind.
Previously, she had only seen excerpts from the fanfiction in Director Bu’s social media post. This was the first time she had seen the entire content. The plain white pages were held between Yan Chi’s fingertips. Her expression remained unchanged, and only the gaze that drifted down sentence by sentence indicated that she was indeed reading.
Apart from Gu Qingtong averting her eyes, unwilling to look, everyone else was awaiting Yan Chi’s reaction after reading. No one knew that kisses were Yan Chi’s sensitive spot. Despite having completely understood each other’s sensitivities, Yan Chi had never taken the initiative to kiss Gu Qingtong’s lips.
She was waiting, waiting for the day when Qingtong would initiate a kiss on her own. But even now, it had only progressed to the stage of the forehead kiss shared on that emotional day. Even Bai Jin had noticed it earlier, and had used this as a way to tease Yan Chi.
As Yan Chi read through the various descriptions of kisses marked in red, a sense of ambiguity once again welled up within her heart. Finally, she raised her gaze to look at the side profile of Gu Qingtong, who was avoiding her. She displayed that same slightly chilly smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes: “With such skills, why didn’t you show me earlier?” she said, and everyone else assumed she was referring to the skill of writing fanfiction. Only Gu Qingtong’s back tensed up.
It was obvious she was asking for a live demonstration…
Yan Chi quietly observed the suddenly more flustered figure of Gu Qingtong and chuckled lightly, a hint of subtle mockery in her tone. Then, she turned to Director Bu. She had no intention of returning the fanfiction manuscript in her hands, and casually remarked: “I couldn’t finish reading it all at once. If you don’t mind, you can leave it with me. I’ll continue reading it when I have the time.”
Everyone could see that she had clearly reached the last page just a moment ago, indicating that she had finished reading. Taking something with the excuse of “continuing to read the masterpiece” seemed quite insincere.
Of course, no one would believe that excuse.
Even though the treasured “timeless classics” that Director Bu had held onto for so long was taken directly by Yan Chi, he didn’t dare to refuse. He could only secretly lament his loss.
Upon hearing Yan Chi take her fanfiction manuscript, Gu Qingtong became anxious in an instant, forgetting her resolution to not even glance in that direction. She watched helplessly as Yan Chi collected the pages.
It seemed as if she could already anticipate how Yan Chi would gradually guide her to act out the contents written on those pages…
At this moment, the other two groups finally returned, and the director’s plan to shift the blame had come to an end. He gathered everyone together, exchanging money for rooms and announcing the evening’s filming task.
This task had a considerable wealth disparity. Apart from the “Silent Gaze” group earning a five hundred tier room, the trio who had gathered additional members also earned a similar amount due to their combined strength.
As usual, only Deng Dongjun and Yu Xi were left with a meager one hundred dollars, but at least they wouldn’t have to spend the night in the production team’s car.
“Because tonight’s hot spring relaxation is a leisure benefit that everyone has earned themselves, our production team naturally won’t disturb your leisure time. However, we need you all to film your own footage during this hot spring segment.”
“You can prank or do anything you like without any restrictions. Of course, the length and quality of the footage you shoot will determine your presence in the main episode. Tomorrow morning, the production team will collect the cameras from each of you.”
No one had expected that tonight’s filming task would turn out like this. Gu Qingtong, who had hoped for a shorter time of suffering arranged by the production team, felt her heart sink.
Even though she was reluctant, the time had come to disperse.
Gu Qingtong stood in place, hesitating to leave and avoiding facing Yan Chi. However, her hesitation was interrupted when Yan Chi’s voice came from behind her:
“After preparing for so long, where do you think you can hide? Hm?”
Both of their microphones had already been handed over, and even the crew members were busy going back to have dinner. No one noticed Yan Chi leaning close to Gu Qingtong from behind, practically whispering these words into her ear.
“Tongtong, if you’ve chosen to do something, don’t you plan on being obedient and following through? Of course, if you’d like me to carry you back in front of all these people, I have no objections.”
When Yan Chi called her “Tongtong,” her tone was still as gentle and tender as if she was softly speaking some kind of romantic words. Gu Qingtong was well aware of the promises she had made and knew that when they got back to the room, the “punishments” were only going to escalate.
Wanting to say something, but her shyness prevented her from uttering even half a word. She could only look at Yan Chi with a sense of grievance and say: “I didn’t run away…” She had no choice but to take a step and catch up with Yan Chi’s footsteps.
The hot spring resort was the activity Gu Qingtong had looked forward to the most before coming here. She had even brought two swimsuits and a bathrobe in advance. But now, it was clear that Yan Chi was the one benefiting from this.
This thought made Gu Qingtong reluctant to even open her luggage and let Yan Chi see. Although her mindset had changed, when she looked at the luxurious hot spring suite in front of her, she was still taken aback for a moment.
The room was like a courtyard, with a hot spring pool situated in the open air. Wisps of white steam rose from the pool on the chilly winter night, making it look especially warm.
As for the accompanying room, it was inside the building and had a more old-fashioned charm compared to the glass room from the previous show. The awkward thing was… there was only one bed.
Everything around her seemed to remind Gu Qingtong of what might happen next. The only exception was Yan Chi, who, after closing the courtyard door, didn’t say a word. She simply fixed her eyes on Gu Qingtong, waiting for her to speak.
This gaze felt as though Yan Chi was slowly roasting Gu Qingtong over a fire. It left her uneasy, making it nearly impossible for her to do anything. After all, the day was still long, and Yan Chi wasn’t in a hurry to punish her little friend.
Now that she was able to speak, Gu Qingtong didn’t know where to start explaining. After hesitating for a while, she decided to go all in. Biting her lip and dared not look at Yan Chi, she confessed: “Just now… it was my fault. You can decide how to handle it.”
Seeing Gu Qingtong’s expression, Yan Chi even chuckled softly. With her icy fingertip, she lifted Gu Qingtong’s chin, forcing her to meet her own eyes. “Tongtong, if it’s an apology, you have to look at me while saying it. After all, you’ve deceived me once before. This way, I’ll know if this little liar is telling the truth this time, don’t you think?”
Her voice was as sweet as honey, but every word pierced through Gu Qingtong’s façade of indifference.
With just a few simple sentences, when Gu Qingtong looked into Yan Chi’s eyes, it was almost as if they were back under that tree. She let out a sigh, her tone instantly softened, and she carefully chose the words that she knew Yan Chi would like to hear: “Yan…big sister Yan, I’m sorry, I was wrong…”
Even though she had already dropped the title “big sister” that Yan Chi made her call whenever she needed something, it didn’t seem to provoke any change in Yan Chi’s expression. The faint smile at the corner of Yan Chi’s mouth grew more pronounced: “Wrong? What did you do wrong?”
“I, I shouldn’t have played that kind of joke. Even though it was the production team’s idea, even though I would have faced consequences if I didn’t do it, I shouldn’t have gone along with their antics…”
As Gu Qingtong spoke, she stole glances at Yan Chi’s expression. Even in her self-critique, she didn’t forget to use the production team as a shield. Her hidden motives were practically laid bare in Yan Chi’s eyes at this moment.
Seeing through the dishonesty, Yan Chi decided to give the little liar in front of her a lesson first before being more candid with her words. Yan Chi’s fingers, which were propping up Gu Qingtong’s chin, suddenly released, and Gu Qingtong almost thought she had managed to get away with it.
However, in the next moment, Yan Chi leaned in close to her side, without any warning, and gently took her delicate earlobe into her mouth.
“Umm—”
If the sensation of having her earlobe nibbled on earlier was a mixture of pain and ticklishness, now the pain was absent, replaced by a strange tingling sensation that rapidly spread from the earlobe to her entire cheek. Gu Qingtong realized that her endurance test for the night had just begun.
Yan Chi didn’t keep it up for long, but when she pulled away, she couldn’t resist giving a playful bite, which elicited an involuntary whimper from Gu Qingtong.
Her cheeks were now a deep shade of crimson, and she quickly raised her hand to cover her tingling earlobe, engaging in some futile self-protection. As Gu Qingtong looked at Yan Chi, her eyes were even more timid, resembling a startled little rabbit.
“This is a small lesson. If you’re not honest like that again, I’ll punish you again,” Yan Chi stated, still calmly observing Gu Qingtong, as if waiting for her response.
Gu Qingtong could only continue with: “If you like someone, you shouldn’t casually use it as a joke…did what I said back then cause misunderstanding, big sister?”
Although being forced step by step by Yan Chi to reflect, during this process, Gu Qingtong finally managed to calm down and think about why Yan Chi was so angry. However, her current analysis was still focused on the idea that Yan Chi was upset because of her overstepped joke.
But Gu Qingtong clearly didn’t anticipate that the term “misunderstanding” she inadvertently brought up during her introspection would once again become a sharp blade, piercing Yan Chi’s heart.
Misunderstanding…?
Yes, she did misunderstand. She misunderstood to the point where she thought this blockhead would suddenly become receptive, and that she would hide such thoughts from her.
Yan Chi closed her eyes, and her demeanor seemed to return to the state of lost control from before. When she opened her eyes again, the coldness had vanished from her gaze.
It was no longer necessary.
At this moment, Yan Chi no longer had the mood or courage to seek answers from Gu Qingtong. She would use her own methods to bind Tongtong to her more tightly, just as she had planned before. Even though her mindset had completely changed, she was still smiling, as if trying to deceive Gu Qingtong:
“I know that you wouldn’t lie to me. This time, you were forced by the production team, and if you didn’t lie to me, what punishment would there be?”
Gu Qingtong naturally fell into her trap and started explaining for herself: “Exactly, they said if I failed, they would make you act out more explicit fanfiction scenes with me tomorrow…we can’t kiss in front of so many people, otherwise our hidden marriage would definitely be exposed!”
Serious in her explanation, Gu Qingtong clearly hadn’t noticed that Yan Chi was gradually becoming more stubborn.
“But it did make me lose my composure on camera. Is there something you can do to compensate, Tongtong?” Yan Chi continued her gentle persuasion.
Seeing Yan Chi finally no longer being so cold, Gu Qingtong eagerly nodded, her eyes shining as she focused on Yan Chi, waiting for her to speak.
But then Yan Chi’s voice came: “If you’re worried about the audience seeing it, then don’t perform it for anyone else, just do it for me alone.”
It wasn’t just empty words—Yan Chi actually took out those fanfiction pages, pointing at the highlighted lines.
Gu Qingtong was taken aback, but she had agreed too quickly and had no time to back out. She could only ask: “Which… which one?”
“All of them… the kisses.”
Yan Chi stared at Gu Qingtong’s lips, which she had previously pinched and reddened. She looked at them with a hint of desire, and her heart began to race.
“All… all of them?!” Gu Qingtong exclaimed in disbelief. There were more than a dozen instances! There were even kisses on each other’s lips.
However, Yan Chi persisted in her gaze. Although not as cold as before, there was
stubbornness in her demeanor. She spoke slowly:
“Before, Tongtong said you were worried about the kisses being discovered by the audience. But now, there’s no audience.”
As she spoke, she closed her fingers around Gu Qingtong’s lips again and said with a hint of stubbornness: “Does that mean you can lie to me just because you don’t want to kiss me?”
Under Yan Chi’s logically compelling questioning, Gu Qingtong reluctantly agreed. She reluctantly picked up the paper and started comparing each kiss, one by one.
Even the first one was challenging for her. This was a kiss!
Whether she dared to actually kiss down was another matter, but would Yan Chi really let her do it like this? Yan Chi knew this, but she seemed to be unable to comprehend the pleading gaze that Gu Qingtong kept sending her.
Why was it so difficult? Wasn’t it just kissing my lips?
For some reason, Yan Chi had an obsession in her heart. She had to know Gu Qingtong’s attitude, if she was willing to kiss her, it meant she had accepted her.
Gu Qingtong’s mind was in a mess at this moment. Under Yan Chi’s gaze, she had almost nowhere to hide. She could only rely on her intuition.
Although it would be her first kiss, if it was with Yan Chi…
She was willing.
Relying solely on this intuition, Gu Qingtong finally made a move. She didn’t want to think about anything else, only knowing one thing.
Yan Chi was different. Everything was possible with her.
This time, when she leaned in for the kiss, she still didn’t close her eyes. She stood on her tiptoes, trying her best to kiss Yan Chi’s lips. Once she realized what her heart desired, there was no hesitation left.
Perhaps the overly pure light in those eyes was too much, illuminating a moment of clarity in the darkness and determination within Yan Chi’s gaze.
In that fleeting moment of clarity, Yan Chi’s fingertip suddenly intervened between them, stopping the kiss. Gu Qingtong, with her eyes wide open, witnessed the entire process. Her mind went blank, leaving only one question: Why…didn’t she let her kiss her?
Yan Chi didn’t want this kind of opportunistic kiss. If that were the case, she would have already kissed Gu Qingtong.
Her determination was rooted in the hope that someday, her partner would genuinely and irresistibly initiate a kiss. However, she didn’t explain any of this. She just restrained her overflowing emotions and said, word by word, “I won’t block anywhere else.”
Even without understanding, Gu Qingtong could only continue her actions. One after another, kisses landed on Yan Chi’s cheeks, brow, earlobes…regardless of the spot, they were accompanied by Yan Chi’s warmth and presence.
She was all too familiar, and she couldn’t help but be consumed by longing. The kisses held a subtle, lingering tenderness. Gu Qingtong’s lips were unusually warm and soft, as if they were the most soothing remedy for calming the unease in Yan Chi’s heart.
The series of intimate kisses soothed every inch of her, and at this moment, the two of them were dependent on each other’s warmth, drawing in each other’s heat, breath, and presence like lovers.
Until every kiss written in the fanfiction had been enacted, Gu Qingtong subconsciously leaned in for more. Realizing that her punishment had concluded, she snapped back to her senses and instinctively began to step away. However, now that she had already been delivered into Yan Chi’s embrace, would Yan Chi easily let her go?
“Tongtong, I want more,” Yan Chi’s hand brushed against Gu Qingtong’s cheek, and the open eyes before her held sparks of ignition.
“But…but hasn’t the punishment already ended?” Gu Qingtong hadn’t anticipated that Yan Chi would still detain her. Surprise filled her eyes, as if she had been deceived by Yan Chi.
Yan Chi’s gaze darkened as she looked into her eyes, and she gently murmured: “The last kiss we shared carried quite a significant weight.”
In the adult world, everything was a transaction. When Yan Chi had blocked her earlier, she was already prepared for the next trap.
“I won’t let it hurt, Tongtong. It’ll be just as pleasurable as before.” She cupped Gu Qingtong’s face, and in such close proximity, their warm and intimate breaths mingled, like an aphrodisiac seeping into their bones.
While Yan Chi’s words were gentle, judging solely from the deep entanglement reflected in her expression, Gu Qingtong knew she was going to be ensnared to the point of no return. Whether it was indulgence or enthrallment, Gu Qingtong was willingly falling into it. She had been helpless against Yan Chi from the beginning, let alone considering her own desires.
Despite being mentally prepared, when Yan Chi’s gaze lingered on the zipper of her clothing, Gu Qingtong reflexively tensed her body, looking somewhat lost as her eyes met Yan Chi’s. Yan Chi knew that Gu Qingtong was about to retreat again, so she pressed her onto the bed, confining her to a narrow space.
With each moment that passed, Yan Chi’s lips would lightly kiss her neck, offering comfort.
“I…I also want, to take off your clothes,” Gu Qingtong suddenly whispered. It was evident that her own appearance had become less dignified, but Yan Chi remained the same as always, that image of an unattainable flower on a high peak. At that moment, Gu Qingtong had only one thought in her mind – to pull her down from that pedestal.
Without waiting for Yan Chi’s response, Gu Qingtong’s fair and delicate hand had already started diligently unbuttoning her clothes. The confined space Yan Chi had created had ironically become a prison, trapping herself.
Watching Gu Qingtong’s unsure actions, Yan Chi’s eyes grew even more intense. Once they were truly on the bedding, Gu Qingtong’s eyes grew increasingly frantic. She stared at Yan Chi before involuntarily biting her lip, causing her lips to turn pale.
Because she was well aware that today was different from the past. While Yan Chi had occasionally made some audacious requests before, those were always spontaneous, and Gu Qingtong would often retreat and compromise, ultimately focusing on the enjoyment.
But today… she knew what she was about to face, and it was the thing she feared the most….something very painful.
“Tongtong, wait for me obediently,” Yan Chi’s voice brought Gu Qingtong back from her worries. She noticed Yan Chi, who was kneeling beside her, stood up barefoot and walked away.
This made Gu Qingtong even more panicked, her mind going blank. She didn’t even know what she was thinking. As she watched Yan Chi’s retreating figure, she got up herself, wearing only the last bit of covering.
Hastily, she grabbed a piece of clothing and attempted to pull it over her head. Once she was dressed, she realized it was the same inner layer that Yan Chi had been wearing.
Gu Qingtong didn’t care anymore. She was just too afraid. All that occupied her mind was the thought of escaping. She didn’t even bother putting on shoes and hurried towards the door.
Right at that moment, a faint voice came from behind: “Tongtong, where are you going?”
Yan Chi looked at Gu Qingtong, who was only dressed from the waist up. Clearly, her struggles had added some intrigue, but ultimately they had all been in vain.
As soon as Gu Qingtong heard the voice behind her, her whole body stiffened. With no other choice, she had to turn around and face Yan Chi, shaking her head as she said: “I… I’m really scared. This isn’t going to work, we shouldn’t do this…”
Even though Yan Chi had already comforted her softly numerous times just moments ago, she hadn’t expected that Gu Qingtong would attempt to run away like this as soon as she turned her back to fetch a condom.
Clearly, Gu Qingtong was more amenable to a gentler approach. This allowed the dominant and stubborn aspects of Yan Chi’s personality to take the lead. This time, she just stared into Gu Qingtong’s eyes:
“Tongtong, were you trying to leave me alone here just now? That would be the second time you’ve deceived me today.”
Yan Chi couldn’t let go of Gu Qingtong’s unintentional joke. No matter how it was explained, the thought that Gu Qingtong still hadn’t fallen for her persisted in her mind. As soon as this idea surfaced, Yan Chi couldn’t control her own stubbornness.
Gu Qingtong was momentarily surprised by Yan Chi’s unexpected gaze and stood still. She watched as Yan Chi approached step by step, lifting her up.
The sensation of weightlessness made her let out a cry of surprise. The next moment, she was placed back where she had been lying earlier. But this time, it was different. Yan Chi, who had been kneeling beside her before, was now truly pressing down on her, even resting her knees against her.
“Mmm…” Gu Qingtong’s brows furrowed sensitively. She felt the impact directly, and it was overwhelming. She shook her head desperately, looking at Yan Chi. Her eyes were already moist with tears of panic, and the corners of her eyes were turning red: “Big sister Yan, wu wu I’m sure I can’t do it…”
“Tongtong, be good,” Yan Chi cooed while not letting her go. She began to kiss away the teardrops at the corners of Gu Qingtong’s eyes, lingering over the delicate wetness. Despite Yan Chi’s current emotional state, her tender caresses remained unaffected.
From the cheeks, she kissed up the neck, the coordination of teeth and tongue triggering shivers through Gu Qingtong’s body. Reactions were the most genuine response. Having tasted a hint of sweetness, Gu Qingtong clearly lacked the resistance she displayed earlier. Her voice now carried a soft tremor, almost like a blend of resistance and acceptance.
The upper half was familiar territory to Gu Qingtong. Even if she blushed like last time, she couldn’t resist Yan Chi, who had a way of getting her to submit. However, as they ventured into uncharted territory, Gu Qingtong began to struggle.
Even though she had no strength left, how could she resist Yan Chi now? Yan Chi wasn’t in a rush to remove the thin layer; she caressed it gently, teasingly.
No matter how Gu Qingtong struggled, the dark colors on the fabric couldn’t deceive anyone. In this moment, Gu Qingtong experienced this in full, her struggling sounds abruptly silenced, replaced by a quiver.
In that instant, Yan Chi felt warmth and was momentarily startled, only then realizing what was happening with Gu Qingtong.
Gu Qingtong belatedly noticed her own reaction. She felt as if she were a well-cooked shrimp, how could she become like this….consumed by an immense sense of embarrassment, she buried her face into the pillowcase beside her, unable to look at Yan Chi anymore.
“Tongtong…is made of sweet syrup? So sweet,” Yan Chi temporarily lifted her head, turning Gu Qingtong’s face to meet hers, forcing their eyes to lock.
She earnestly told Tongtong that it wasn’t something to be embarrassed about, that she enjoyed it a lot.
Even so, Gu Qingtong still couldn’t bring herself to look at Yan Chi. Her voice trembled as she asked: “Won’t it…won’t it be dirty?”
Yan Chi didn’t say anything; she answered with her actions.
Time seemed to stretch on, and Gu Qingtong was almost lost in the momentary sensations. But suddenly, the warm and tender lips were replaced by something cold and firm.
In an instant, Gu Qingtong regained her senses. Her hands, not suppressed by Yan Chi, moved to push her away.
“Tongtong, trust me, there’s a barrier, it won’t hurt,” Yan Chi’s voice was husky.
Perhaps due to the gradually shifting attitude and hearing Yan Chi’s reassurance, Gu Qingtong’s hands relaxed a bit at her sides. She remained nervous, as if ready to protect herself at any moment.
Soon, a sensation entirely different from before emerged. It felt like delicate strokes, occasionally tugging at her hair and sending waves of sensation throughout her body. It was like even more dazzling fireworks exploding right before her eyes compared to before.
Indeed, it wasn’t painful, but Gu Qingtong couldn’t endure it at all. The overwhelming sensation, now beyond her control, caused her to sob uncontrollably: “Wuwu…I can’t do it!”
❖❖❖❖❖
The night had grown deep.
A figure gradually approached from outside, and it was Bai Jin.
Several hours earlier, Bai Jin had received a hidden task from the production team. She was tasked with secretly entering each person’s room at night to assist in filming. Even though the production team had seemingly arranged for each guest to film their own footage of the hot springs, they had actually handed all the tasks over to Bai Jin.
Once again acting as the spy, Bai Jin was getting what she wanted. Her first target was undoubtedly the duo of Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi, who had tricked her multiple times. Although the rooms could be locked, the production team hadn’t informed anyone about the secret doors and mechanisms in place, all for the purpose of capturing everyone’s most unsuspecting moments.
The thought of Yan Chi and Gu Qingtong being unaware of her gradual approach made Bai Jin’s mood instantly brighten. She reached the vicinity of their room and began searching for the small side door the director had mentioned. The building had an antique design, and the courtyard was quite extensive, making the search somewhat challenging. She patiently scanned her surroundings.
Engaging in covert activities often made one easily startled, and suddenly a voice exclaimed beside her: “What are you doing here?!”
Bai Jin was nearly frightened out of her wits for a moment before focusing her gaze on the speaker. To her surprise, it was….Chu Yu?!
Although they were both in the same group, neither of them had noticed the other sneaking out. Bai Jin subconsciously assumed that Chu Yu was also out for a task like herself. However, Chu Yu’s cautious and tense expression gave her pause, as if she were hiding something.
This expression intrigued Bai Jin, prompting her to ask directly: “I was just about to ask how you got here?!”
