Deceased Mother's Inheritance - Chapter 17
Chapter 17: Kiss me.
Yun Zhixue noticed Yun Jing’s approach. She glanced at Yun Jing from the corner of her eye, and her heart beat faster and faster. This was like a dream.
Would she be stopped? She didn’t want to be.
As Yun Jing got closer to them, Yun Zhixue had a faint premonition that something was about to happen.
Yun Jing first called out to Meng Zhengyue. Meng Zhengyue didn’t respond, her gaze was on Yun Zhixue. At this moment, Yun Jing leaned down. She was very fast. Her lips were about to brush against Meng Zhengyue’s.
“Ah!” Yun Zhixue bit down on the teething stick and pushed Meng Zhengyue away.
Meng Zhengyue was startled. She looked at Yun Zhixue in confusion, thinking she had hurt her. She said first, “What’s wrong?”
Yun Zhixue was breathing rapidly, her eyes wide and red, and she didn’t move.
Meng Zhengyue tilted her head and looked at Yun Jing, saying, “What are you doing? You scared her.”
Yun Jing said, “Oh,” a little unwillingly. She tried to lean down again. Yun Zhixue’s whole body was in a state of stress. “Don’t kiss her, don’t kiss her, you’re not allowed to kiss her!”
Yun Zhixue’s pupils contracted. She wanted to push Yun Jing away. Meng Zhengyue raised her arm, her elbow blocking Yun Jing’s approach.
Yun Jing turned to look at her daughter—there was a complex mix of emotions in her widened eyes, a mix of fear and anger.
Meng Zhengyue didn’t like Yun Jing’s behavior either. She frowned, leaned down to help Yun Zhixue, but just as she was about to get close, Yun Zhixue’s body trembled violently.
Meng Zhengyue’s mind went “bang.” She had a feeling of “it’s over.” “Honey?”
Meng Zhengyue called her softly.
Yun Zhixue stiffened and came back to her senses. She stared at Meng Zhengyue’s lips as she spoke. Her clasped hands slowly rubbed together. Soon, both of her hands turned red, and the teething stick fell onto her leg.
Meng Zhengyue patted Yun Zhixue’s shoulder. Her eyes were very beautiful, the outer corners slightly upturned, and her eyelashes were long and thin. She was very gentle. “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid.”
Yun Zhixue looked at her eyes, her nose, her mouth.
Her breath.
Yun Zhixue’s body fell backward, and then she scrambled to her feet, grabbing the tissue from the table. “Wipe your face, wipe your face.”
Meng Zhengyue took the tissue. Just as she put it to her face, a wet sensation wiped across it. When she looked up again, she saw Yun Zhixue tremble again. She thought to herself, “It’s over. I’ve given the child a new problem. She’s even more stressed now. My efforts to soothe her were all for nothing.”
She looked in Yun Jing’s direction. Yun Jing had no intention of cleaning up the mess. She was in a hurry to leave and drove away directly.
Yun Zhixue’s steps weren’t fast. She was walking intermittently, her hands clenched. Her hair was loosely tied, revealing her beautiful, pale shoulders.
Meng Zhengyue pressed her temples in a headache.
Yun Zhixue went back to her room.
She huddled under the blanket. She sniffed the inside. The housekeeper had changed the sheets. There was no scent at all. She couldn’t smell Meng Zhengyue’s scent.
She bit her fingers.
It hurt so much.
Yun Zhixue started to feel very uncomfortable. She had been smugly thinking that she could be intimate with Meng Zhengyue while Yun Jing could only watch. Now, her whole body felt like it was on fire.
Did she get a kiss? Did Yun Jing get a kiss?
Yun Zhixue couldn’t describe this feeling. It was very difficult and uncomfortable.
A voice was saying: “Because Meng Zhengyue has only touched you and your body.”
Yun Zhixue was even starting to think in a twisted way now.
So, it was possible to kiss Meng Zhengyue?
What did Yun Jing want to do?
Did she want to kiss her?
On what grounds? On what grounds did she kiss her?
On what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds, on what grounds! On what grounds!!!!!
I want to kiss her, I want to kiss her, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me!!!!!!!!!!!
If Meng Zhengyue wants to kiss someone, she should kiss me…
Yun Zhixue, who was emotionally barren, didn’t understand interaction or love. Yun Jing had torn a hole in her mind.
Yun Zhixue didn’t know what to do. She bit down on the red string that Meng Zhengyue had given her, as if she wanted to defile the sanctity of the gods. She used all her strength.
Meng Zhengyue picked up the teething stick from the ground and took it to the sink to wash it. She felt a little sorry for her. Yun Zhixue didn’t come down for dinner either.
That night, Yun Zhixue stayed in her room. Meng Zhengyue went to her room but didn’t dare to knock on the door. Meng Zhengyue was bored, so she stood in the hallway for half the night, enjoying the breeze.
…
Third-year high school students only have Saturday off. They have to go to school on Sunday.
Meng Zhengyue got up and saw Yun Zhixue with her handbag. A pillow was stuffed inside. Her long hair was tied up with a hair tie, and the uncombed hair at the bottom was all frizzy.
Meng Zhengyue’s eyes swept over the swollen skin on her hand. This time, even her wrist had blue-purple teeth marks.
Meng Zhengyue’s impression of Yun Jing hit rock bottom. Not only did she not care for her daughter, but she also kept irritating her. She had meticulously cared for the little girl for a period of time, and now all her efforts were in vain.
What should she do?
Meng Zhengyue, who was usually not one to worry, was feeling depressed.
She stood at the door, helpless. She felt like giving up and leaving these things to professionals.
Meng Zhengyue stood for a while and then went downstairs. She saw Yun Zhixue grinding coffee at the island counter. She added ice cubes and put it in Meng Zhengyue’s spot. Then, she sat across from her and slowly ate. It was very simple for a child to show goodwill. Like a kitten that was mad at you but now wants to make up, showing its soft belly for you to pet.
Meng Zhengyue’s thoughts of giving up quietly stopped. She sat down and said, “Thank you, honey.”
There was steamed egg custard for breakfast. The little girl mixed the rice into it and ate with great gusto.
After eating, Meng Zhengyue picked up her car keys and jingled them at Yun Zhixue. “Do you want to ride in my car? I’ll take you to school.”
Yun Zhixue’s eyes lit up. She nodded at her. Meng Zhengyue personally opened the passenger door for her. This place seemed to have become Yun Zhixue’s exclusive spot.
Meng Zhengyue got into the car. “Do you like sitting here?”
“Mm,” Yun Zhixue hugged the pillow tightly and said, “It’s easier to talk to you here.”
Meng Zhengyue was puzzled. “Why did you bring this down?”
Yun Zhixue glanced at the hem of her clothes, then looked up at Meng Zhengyue’s profile. She held the pillow even tighter. “…I can’t sleep well at school. I’m changing to a new one.”
They didn’t turn on the air conditioning. The morning breeze was cool. The little girl kept looking out the window.
They stopped at the school gate. Yun Zhixue got out of the car. Chi Ruishou was waiting for her at the gate and waved at her.
Meng Zhengyue was about to help her with her school bag, but Yun Zhixue didn’t let her. She carried it herself. Her two hands were full. Meng Zhengyue smiled at Chi Ruishou and said, “Please take care of our little Xue.”
“Mission accomplished,” Chi Ruishou said seriously. “Yun Zhixue is a great person. I like hanging out with her.”
“Mm, isn’t she cute?”
Chi Ruishou nodded. “A little dorky.”
The two children walked toward the school building together.
Chi Ruishou patted Yun Zhixue’s shoulder. “How are you this week? Are you feeling better?”
Yun Zhixue said, “I went to see a psychologist.”
“That serious? What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor told my mommy that it’s normal for me to like her and asked her to be good to me.”
“???? Seriously? I’m going to take my stepmom to see one too!” She whispered, “My friend, recommend one to me.”
Yun Zhixue didn’t answer her. She looked back and saw Meng Zhengyue opening the driver’s door. Suddenly, Yun Zhixue ran toward her. Meng Zhengyue heard the sound and turned her head, startled.
Yun Zhixue was out of breath, a fine sweat on her forehead. She opened her palm. A small key lay quietly on it. She said, “When you come next time, just wait for me in the dorm. It’s hot. You have to turn on the air conditioner.”
“Honey,” Meng Zhengyue looked at her seriously. Her eyes were warmed. She took the key. Yun Zhixue’s hand quickly clenched into a fist and hung at her side, quickly suppressing the itchiness that arose from the touch.
Meng Zhengyue had a feeling like she was warming up a stone. “Okay.”
She thought to herself, “I’ve really raised this child.”
