Crazy (Lily ABO) - Chapter 17

With Xin Ruofan gone from Hai City for work, Teng Lin’s life reverted to its previous state. The only difference was the daily WeChat messages from the Omega.

Teng Lin was somewhat relieved that her studio work had increased lately, leaving her less time to dwell on Xin Ruofan.

Though, in a way, it felt like avoidance.

She sat in front of her easel, lost in thought for a long time. A hurried knock at the door interrupted her reverie. She opened it to find her assistant holding a phone, a worried look on her face.

“Teacher, I have some bad news…”

The assistant spoke haltingly: “Teacher Huang canceled your exhibition piece, and the city art troupe and Mr. Li’s auction house also said they’re canceling their  collaborations…”

Teng Lin remained silent for a moment, then calmly hummed in acknowledgment, her expression still serene. All the canceled jobs were local to Hai City, and she immediately guessed who was behind it. Xin Deming, only he would have that capability.

Somehow, she suddenly recalled the morning Xin Ruofan left. She had been held in the Omega’s embrace, and even though she couldn’t clearly see the other’s expression, the unwavering determination in her words was deeply etched into Teng Lin’s heart.

“I know what you’re afraid of, and I’m afraid too… I’m afraid you’ll reject me, and then I won’t even have the right to lose you.”

“I want to face this with you, to overcome it together.”

“Sister Lin, please trust me, okay?”

“Don’t push me away again…”

Teng Lin pushed up her glasses, composed herself, and calmly said, “It’s fine. We haven’t signed contracts with them yet, so it’s normal for them to suddenly change their minds.” She reassuringly patted her assistant’s shoulder, then, after a moment’s thought, added, “There might be many similar situations in the future. Don’t be disheartened; we have other collaborations.”

She didn’t know how Xin Deming would deal with her. As long as Xin Ruofan stayed by her side, nothing would go smoothly. Yet, she had already fallen into this desire, slowly succumbing to Xin Ruofan’s tenderness, unable to pull herself away. Now, she was unwilling to let her go at all.

Xiao Yuan’s photography collection began shooting.

On the day of the shoot, Xin Ruofan returned to Hai City early in the morning after finishing her out-of-town schedule. She was unsurprised to see Teng Lin in the photo studio. Xin Ruofan winked at her, a slight curve to her lips. “Teacher Teng Lin, long time no see. Did you sleep well last night?”

Teng Lin seemingly nodded calmly, though the pink flush on the tips of her ears betrayed the composure she feigned. The faint scent of tuberose in the air stirred memories of last night. In the video, the Omega, wearing a bathrobe, lay sideways on the bed, her open neckline subtly revealing pink areolas. Her long, pale legs clamped a pillow, rubbing her inner thighs while letting out seductive moans.

“Ah… Sister Lin, I miss you so much…”

“I want you to touch me… mhm ah… fvck me… I want you~”

“Mmm, mhm~ I want to see your bottom, want to lick your hard spot…”

Under the Omega’s soft whining and alluring temptation, Teng Lin couldn’t help but masturbate and cum while watching the video. The mere thought of last night’s scene made her glands and crotch ache faintly. She raised a hand to push up her glasses, uncomfortably avoiding the Omega’s playful gaze.

Not until the staff came to take Xin Ruofan for makeup did Teng Lin finally breathe a sigh of relief. To distract herself and dispel the heat in her body, she looked around, marveling at Xiao Yuan’s meticulousness; the set design had been reproduced almost exactly according to Teng Lin’s descriptions.

In that room, years ago, she first realized she harbored different feelings for Xin Ruofan. Through the slightly ajar door, she unintentionally saw the girl’s slender, pale back, her pert, small buttocks, and the soft area barely visible between her legs. The girl slowly squatted down, her graceful curves disappearing into the water, her pale skin becoming pink and tender under the hot water. The setting sun’s afterglow streamed through the window, and the misty steam was like a layer of shimmering golden gauze, enveloping the girl, making her seem sacred and inviolable.

That was the original draft of “Bl00d Bath.” Unfortunately, this initial draft was lost, and she could never recreate the original feeling. Later, after countless revisions, the sacred atmosphere in the painting was abandoned, replaced by gore and oppression. The girl in the painting was like a ruined, broken rose, quietly decaying, submerged in bl00d. With her insane desires and dirty bl00d, she imprisoned the girl in the room of her heart.

Xin Ruofan lay quietly in a bathtub filled with bright red liquid, her expression towards the camera sometimes wicked, sometimes coldly alluring, her lips slightly curved with a hint of lust. Those beautiful light gray pupils, however, were so clear and bright, captivating and mesmerizing.

The photoshoot lasted over an hour. Xiao Yuan reviewed the photos and let out a sigh of satisfaction. “Ruofan, you worked hard, the photos are truly amazing!”

Xiao Yuan rushed to the bathtub with a towel, wanting to help the woman out, but was stopped by Xin Ruofan’s raised hand. Xin Ruofan pointed behind her. Teng Lin sat quietly by the lamp stand, head bowed, focused on drawing in her sketchbook.

When Teng Lin came back to her senses, only she and Xin Ruofan remained in the studio. She immediately dropped her sketchbook, picked up a nearby towel, and went to the Omega’s side. The water in the bathtub had already turned cold; the moment her fingertips touched Xin Ruofan’s skin, a chilling sensation spread.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were done? What if you catch a cold?”

Teng Lin quickly draped the towel over Xin Ruofan and reached out to touch her forehead and cheeks, which were slightly warm.

“If I catch a cold, you’ll take care of me.” Xin Ruofan raised an eyebrow. Even with a pale face and slightly red eyes, the slight curve of her lips held a fragile, alluring charm. Wrapped in the towel, she naturally snuggled into the bitter peach-scented embrace, her eyes full of triumphant amusement. “Like last time, when I took care of you, you’ll take care of me.”

As expected, Teng Lin’s face instantly flushed. She stammered, “What are you talking about…?”

The Omega chuckled softly, nestled in her arms, and continued to whine, “I’m so tired. Can you carry me to the bathroom?”

Teng Lin, worried she might catch a cold, didn’t say another word and simply picked up the Omega, carrying her towards the bathroom. What she never expected was that she’d be dragged into the bathroom too.
