Beautiful Woman, You Have Another Express Delivery! (GL) - Chapter 14

Liu Shuhan sighed at the mess on the table.

Shen Wenqin had left a little while ago with Cheng Boming, and she had also called Cheng Qiuyi out, claiming they had important matters to discuss. Cheng Qiuyi had never talked about her family situation in front of Liu Shuhan, so this was the first time Liu Shuhan realized her relationship with her family had reached this point. Every family has its own difficulties, and since Cheng Qiuyi wasn’t talking about it, Liu Shuhan didn’t feel comfortable asking too much.

Cheng Qiuyi returned very quickly. Liu Shuhan was washing dishes when she entered the house. Whatever she and Shen Wenqin had talked about, Cheng Qiuyi looked exhausted when she got home. She hugged Liu Shuhan tightly around the waist from behind and refused to let go.

Liu Shuhan had known Cheng Qiuyi for over ten years, and this was the first time she had seen her so restless. Liu Shuhan couldn’t do much but let her hold her, offering her a bit of comfort.

“Stop washing,” Cheng Qiuyi said after a long while, resting her chin on Liu Shuhan’s shoulder. “Throw all these dishes away. We’ll buy new ones tomorrow. I feel disgusted just looking at things that woman has used.”

Liu Shuhan stopped what she was doing and after a moment, said, “Okay.”

Cheng Qiuyi took Liu Shuhan’s hand, still covered in dish soap, and meticulously scrubbed it under the faucet, washing it several times with hand soap, not missing a single fingernail gap. It seemed like she wanted to thoroughly wash away any scent that might have clung to Liu Shuhan’s hand.

Warm, clean water slid over their fingertips. Cheng Qiuyi’s hand paused. She used her wet hand to turn Liu Shuhan’s face and kissed her lips while still embracing her.

Unlike any kiss before, today’s Cheng Qiuyi was unexpectedly reckless, storming around inside Liu Shuhan’s mouth, her teeth clashing against Liu Shuhan’s.

Liu Shuhan leaned in Cheng Qiuyi’s embrace, frowning in pain. She tilted her head back, trying her best to respond to Cheng Qiuyi’s dominant entanglement. Her hands wrapped around Cheng Qiuyi’s neck, gently stroking to calm her, attempting to soothe her.

Cheng Qiuyi only partially regained her senses when she tasted bl00d in Liu Shuhan’s mouth. Panting, she let go of Liu Shuhan’s lips, and the hand wrapped around Liu Shuhan’s waist tightened, pulling Liu Shuhan even closer into her embrace.

Liu Shuhan was already shorter than her, and with Cheng Qiuyi holding her so tightly, they looked like a single person from behind. Liu Shuhan relaxed her body, leaning her full weight on Cheng Qiuyi, and touched the arm wrapped around her waist. “Qiuyi, I’m here.”

“Shuhan, I’m a little afraid,” Cheng Qiuyi said, kissing Liu Shuhan’s ear. “Why has no one ever believed me?”

“I believe you.” Liu Shuhan looked up and kissed Cheng Qiuyi’s slender chin. “Qiuyi, I believe you.”

Cheng Qiuyi chuckled self-mockingly, “You are lying.”

“Shuhan, if you truly believed me, you wouldn’t have prepared to leave at any moment from the very beginning of our relationship.”

Liu Shuhan lowered her eyes, her fingertip unconsciously tracing the back of Cheng Qiuyi’s hand. “Qiuyi, I’ve always wanted to ask, why do you like me? There is no love without reason in this world. Only a fool believes in love at first sight.”

“Why, indeed?” Cheng Qiuyi tried hard to recall. Her youth was marked by many changes, and later she went through many messy things. Recalling the past brought more pain than happiness. Only when she occasionally thought of Liu Shuhan did a thread of sweetness seem to mix with the bitterness. She didn’t want even that slight happiness to be tainted by pain, so she simply sealed all her memories. Now that Liu Shuhan suddenly brought it up, Cheng Qiuyi actually had to think for a moment to remember those past events.

That year, the Cheng family was threatened by rivals. Cheng’s mother, worried about Cheng Qiuyi’s safety, secretly sent her to a neighboring city, pretending to foster her with a relative. That’s how Cheng Qiuyi began her high school life. She had a naturally aloof personality, polite but lacking in warmth. She was still young, and the aggression inherited from her martial arts training hadn’t yet been restrained. Even the teachers preferred to avoid her. Yet, there was one fool who didn’t know any better and became her friend.

That fool was naturally Liu Shuhan. Liu Shuhan was a transfer student to Cheng Qiuyi’s class. At the time, she only knew that Cheng Qiuyi was genuinely beautiful, and it would be great to be friends with such a beautiful person, which is how she became attached to Cheng Qiuyi.

Initially, Cheng Qiuyi only found the girl interesting. She was cheerful all the time, and Cheng Qiuyi wondered where she found so many happy things. After observing her for a long time, they slowly became friends.

It was only after Cheng Qiuyi became closer to Liu Shuhan that she gradually began to smile and learned to curb her aggression, her personality slowly becoming normal, at least on the surface.

Cheng Qiuyi couldn’t remember when exactly she fell for Liu Shuhan. By the time she realized she liked Liu Shuhan, she was already having romantic thoughts about her.

Cheng Qiuyi snapped out of her memory, raised her hand, and stroked the top of Liu Shuhan’s hair. “It wasn’t love at first sight; it was love that grew over time.”

“I don’t remember when I started loving you, but I do remember when I realized I loved you.”

“Do you remember that year on your birthday? Your parents weren’t home, and we secretly drank until we were completely drunk at your house?”

Of course, Liu Shuhan remembered. She also remembered that the next day when her mother came home and found out she had been drinking, she grabbed a broomstick and hit her butt. The welts took several days to fade. “You ran away quickly that day. My mom almost beat me to death.”

“I wasn’t drunk that day.” Cheng Qiuyi had been practicing martial arts with her master since she was a child. She could compete with her master in drinking at the age of twelve, and by fourteen, her master’s tolerance was far inferior to hers. How could those few bottles of beer Liu Shuhan bought get her drunk?

“I wasn’t drunk, Shuhan. I even kissed you.”

“Shuhan, I lied to you when I said I first kissed someone. See, I kissed you more than ten years ago.”

“At that time, I didn’t just want to kiss you, I also wanted to…” Cheng Qiuyi paused, then continued, “Later, I thought all of these were my illusions. I tried to find some normal boys to correct my abnormality, but it was no use, Shuhan. I fell in love with you much earlier than you thought I did.”

“But Qiuyi, you ran away.” Liu Shuhan mumbled. “You left without a sound. One day we were laughing, eating, and chatting, and the next day you vanished without a trace. I couldn’t find you anywhere. I thought you were playing a joke on me. I thought you would appear soon, but you didn’t.”

“Qiuyi, I love you, but I don’t know anything about you. Your family, your career, I know nothing about these things. What if one day you get tired of me and run away again? What should I do, Qiuyi? What do you want me to do?”

As Liu Shuhan spoke these words, it was as if she had already foreseen that day approaching. With her usual carefree personality, she was meticulously accommodating Cheng Qiuyi’s habits to love her, all the while anxiously worrying that she would leave. “Qiuyi, if you’re going to leave, you might as well leave now, while I can still pull myself away.”

“I’m not leaving!” Cheng Qiuyi turned Liu Shuhan’s body around, grasping her shoulders. “Shuhan, I came back this time to be with you. Even if you don’t want me, I’m going to cling to you. I’m not leaving.”

“Those so-called family and career matters,” Cheng Qiuyi smiled bitterly, “I didn’t want to look too shameful in front of you.”

There was pleading in Cheng Qiuyi’s eyes. Liu Shuhan clearly saw her own reflection in her dark pupils. Liu Shuhan stared at Cheng Qiuyi for a moment, then suddenly smiled, tugging on her collar to make her bend down, and actively moved to meet and block those two rosy thin lips.

Liu Shuhan unbuttoned the collar of Cheng Qiuyi’s shirt, her hand restlessly reaching inside from the collar, only to be caught by Cheng Qiuyi. “Shuhan, this is for a lifetime. Are you sure about this?”

Liu Shuhan pressed against her lips and said, “I’ve been sure for a long time. The one who has always been a coward is you.”

What happened next was natural. Both of them were experiencing intimacy for the first time, and they carried on until midnight, until Liu Shuhan pleaded for mercy before Cheng Qiuyi finally let her go.

Having finished their activities, Liu Shuhan, with a flushed face, snuggled into Cheng Qiuyi’s arms, then suddenly remembered that question. “Cheng Qiuyi, why are you so skilled at this too?”

“I don’t know, maybe I’m naturally gifted?” Cheng Qiuyi teased into Liu Shuhan’s ear. The breath tickled her ear, making her heart itch. Then she heard Cheng Qiuyi continue, “Shuhan, can I interpret that as… you are very satisfied with me?”

“You… you pervert!” Liu Shuhan turned her back to Cheng Qiuyi and lay on her side. Her smooth shoulder had an alluring pink hue, causing Cheng Qiuyi to suppress another laugh.

Liu Shuhan was embarrassed by her laughter, and she also felt sticky and uncomfortable. She simply threw off the blanket, got out of bed, and went to her room to get pajamas and prepare for a shower.

“Ahhh—” Liu Shuhan froze for a few seconds after opening her closet, then ran back to Cheng Qiuyi’s bedroom, screaming in terror. “Cheng Qiuyi, where are my clothes?”

“Aren’t they all neatly hanging in the closet?”

“No!” Liu Shuhan was almost crying in her panic. “Those aren’t my clothes! I don’t know whose they are… Cheng Qiuyi, my things are gone!”

Cheng Qiuyi sat up, the blanket slipping to her waist. “Your old clothes, I threw them away.”

“Threw them away?” Liu Shuhan’s eyes were wide open, looking as if she was about to eat Cheng Qiuyi. “No, are you sick? Why did you throw away my clothes for no reason?”

“You are my woman now. Why keep clothes given by others? Are you planning to rekindle old relationships or something?”

Liu Shuhan couldn’t understand where Cheng Qiuyi’s jealousy was coming from, being jealous over such a small matter. “Did you also throw away the shoe boxes in the shoe cabinet?”

Cheng Qiuyi nodded.

Liu Shuhan angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it at Cheng Qiuyi. “Where did you throw them! Go get them back for me immediately! My treasures are in the box inside those shoe boxes! Cheng Qiuyi, if they are gone, I’m done with you!”

Cheng Qiuyi dodged Liu Shuhan’s pillow. “No, why would you put your treasures in a shoe box of all places? Are those things really that important?”

“Yes! More important than my life!”

Cheng Qiuyi realized the seriousness of the situation. She fumbled and scrambled to put on her clothes. “Alright, alright, I’ll go look for them. If I can’t find them, I won’t come back to see you, okay?”

“No way!” Liu Shuhan glared fiercely. “You’re already mine! Try not to come back and see me! I’m coming with you!”

Cheng Qiuyi put on her clothes and left the bedroom first. Liu Shuhan, alone in the bedroom, grew angrier the more she thought about it. She casually picked up Cheng Qiuyi’s lace underwear scattered by the bed and stuffed it into her pocket.

Cheng Qiuyi was truly unreliable when she acted up! It was infuriating!

And so, the two people who had just finished making love were both heading to the garbage dump in the middle of the night to search for trash.
