My Online Lover Lives Next Door (GL) - Chapter 41
“What’s wrong?” He Qing immediately became nervous. “Did I… hurt you just now?”
Thinking about how rough she had been earlier, He Qing blushed for the first time in her life.
She had always been a person with great self-control, but in that moment, she lost herself for the first time and wanted more. Even though she heard Little Star pleading for her to stop, she still pushed forward again and again.
“Little Star, I’m sorry.” He Qing felt extremely guilty.
It was all her fault. She had made Little Star unhappy.
He Qing secretly vowed in her heart that next time, she would definitely be gentler and not so rough.
Jian Fanxing, on the other hand, was only upset because after what they did together, she was the one exhausted, while He Qing seemed perfectly fine. But she didn’t expect He Qing to misunderstand her reaction.
Seeing the guilt on He Qing’s face, Jian Fanxing quickly put aside her tiredness and explained, “Sister, that’s not what I meant.”
Seeing He Qing looking at her with confusion, Jian Fanxing bit her lip and forced herself to say shyly, “I just feel… it’s not fair.”
“Look at me… My body feels like it’s falling apart, but you don’t look tired at all. You’re still full of energy, as if just now…”
“Just now, I didn’t use enough strength?” He Qing finally understood what Jian Fanxing meant.
But the way she described it… He Qing smirked. “Alright, I got it. Next time, I’ll put in more effort.”
Jian Fanxing froze. Was that what she meant?
That was not what she meant at all!
And what did she mean by putting in more effort next time? She could barely handle it this time. If He Qing worked even harder, wouldn’t she be sent straight to heaven?
Jian Fanxing instinctively wanted to argue, but when she saw the teasing look in He Qing’s eyes, she understood.
“Sister, you’re doing this on purpose!” Jian Fanxing pouted.
He Qing didn’t deny it. “Yes, I am.”
“Little Star, let me carry you to the bath.” He Qing got out of bed without putting on any clothes and picked up Jian Fanxing, heading straight for the bathroom.
Jian Fanxing reflexively wanted to refuse—not for any other reason, but because He Qing was carrying her in a princess carry. Being carried like this by her sister made Jian Fanxing feel like she was the weaker one.
She tried to get up on her own but realized that even after a while, her body was still weak.
She didn’t even have the strength to get up.
Jian Fanxing had no choice but to accept He Qing’s princess carry.
Their bare skin touched again, and as Jian Fanxing felt the warmth from He Qing’s body spreading onto hers, her face turned red, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
So this was what it felt like to be close to someone you love.
They had already done the most intimate thing, so letting He Qing bathe her wasn’t a big deal. Jian Fanxing was only embarrassed for a few seconds before she accepted it.
After all, she didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger right now. And since she was already exhausted, it was only fair for He Qing to do some work now.
This time, He Qing was very well-behaved. Although she couldn’t help but feel a rush of heat in her heart when she saw Jian Fanxing’s smooth skin turning pink under the hot water, she still restrained herself.
Jian Fanxing saw He Qing struggling to hold back and couldn’t help but giggle.
“Sister, you’re so good to me.” Jian Fanxing quickly planted a kiss on He Qing’s cheek.
He Qing’s eyes, filled with restrained desire, glanced at Jian Fanxing before she quickly looked away and continued washing her quietly.
Soon, Jian Fanxing was clean. After helping her put on a bathrobe, He Qing decisively pushed her out of the bathroom.
“Sister, I can help you wash too!” Jian Fanxing teased from outside the bathroom door as it shut quickly.
He Qing smirked. “So naughty.”
Lying on her sister’s bed, Jian Fanxing was about to watch some videos on her phone when she received a call.
“Yaoyao?”
“Fanxing, why do you sound so exhausted? What were you doing?” Lu Yao asked.
“I was… with my sister, hehe.” Jian Fanxing giggled like a fool.
With her sister? After a short pause, Lu Yao gasped. “Wait, it’s not what I think, is it? Fanxing, don’t tell me… you slept with Miss He?!”
Jian Fanxing didn’t answer, but her silly laughter confirmed Lu Yao’s suspicion.
Lu Yao: “…Wow, you move fast! I was just about to ask how things were going with Miss He, but I guess I don’t need to anymore.”
“But you sound so weak, Fanxing. Don’t tell me… you’re the ‘O’?” Lu Yao teased.
“O?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. Being the ‘O’ means you were the one being taken care of, while Miss He was the dominant one.” Lu Yao explained.
She really didn’t expect her friend to be an ‘O’ in bed.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Miss He had such a strong presence—there was no way she would be the ‘O.’ She was clearly the ‘1.’
“Miss He is really amazing.”
“…I’m not an ‘O’!” Jian Fanxing huffed. She wasn’t an ‘O’—she was just inexperienced the first time. Next time, she would be the ‘1.’
“Oh really? Then let me know when you manage to be the ‘1,’ so we can celebrate,” Lu Yao laughed, clearly not believing her.
“Anyway, I just called to check on you. Since you’re fine and your relationship with Miss He is going well, I’ll leave you to it.”
“Yaoyao, wait!” Jian Fanxing suddenly remembered something. “Yaoyao, I accepted a photoshoot invitation. If you’re free, can you come with me?”
Jian Fanxing usually just took photos of random people. This was her first official shoot, and she was a little nervous.
She wanted He Qing to go with her, but after visiting He Qing’s company today, she realized how busy she was. The whole company basically depended on her, so she didn’t want to trouble He Qing. That’s why she asked Lu Yao instead.
“Of course!” Lu Yao agreed immediately. “Just let me know when. As your best friend, I’ll always be there when you need me.”
Lu Yao’s job was flexible. As long as she finished her tasks, her company didn’t care where she went. And even if she had unfinished work, she had an uncle in a high position at the company.
The sound of running water stopped. Knowing He Qing was coming out, Jian Fanxing quickly ended the call.
Lu Yao: “…Wow, you really forgot about me for love.”
“Sister!” Jian Fanxing’s face lit up with a bright smile the moment she saw He Qing.
“Hmm? What made you so happy?” Seeing Jian Fanxing’s smile, He Qing felt her mood lighten. She sat down next to her and noticed her hair was still wet. Picking up a hairdryer, she started drying it for her.
Jian Fanxing instinctively snuggled into He Qing’s arms.
“Sister, you’re so good to me,” Jian Fanxing sighed.
He Qing chuckled. “Just drying your hair is enough to make you happy?”
She leaned close to Jian Fanxing’s ear and whispered, “Little Star, has anyone ever told you that you’re easy to please?”
A gentle breath brushed against her ear, making Jian Fanxing feel her ears heat up. She really was someone who was easily satisfied. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been in an online relationship with He Qing for seven years.
In those seven years, they had never met in person. They only communicated through daily chats and listening to each other’s voices. Their relationship was as pure as Plato’s ideal love. No, even Plato’s love allowed people to see each other and occasionally embrace. Theirs was more like a purely spiritual connection.
If she weren’t so easily satisfied, she didn’t think she could have waited until the day she finally met He Qing.
And she definitely wouldn’t have been able to truly be with He Qing.
Jian Fanxing nestled in He Qing’s arms. After a long moment, she finally responded, “I’m really glad that I’m someone who is easily satisfied.”
“But from now on, I won’t be.” A determined light flashed in her eyes.
Her girlfriend was amazing, so of course, she couldn’t fall behind!
In the past, Jian Fanxing had always taken life as it came. As long as she could earn some money to help her family, have food to eat, and achieve her small goals step by step, she felt that was enough.
She used to think she was just someone without big ambitions. But now, she realized that wasn’t true. She wasn’t lacking ambition—she just hadn’t found her true goal yet.
“Sis, I’ve decided to find a job,” Jian Fanxing said.
“A job? Why?” He Qing asked in surprise. According to the information she had on Jian Fanxing, she was a freelancer. Her income wasn’t very high, but it was enough to support herself, and she had always been happy—like a little sun shining in the sky.
He Qing believed that this freedom was the key to her happiness.
But if she took on a job, that freedom would definitely be limited. Would her little star still be as cheerful and carefree as she was now?
After a brief silence, He Qing spoke. “Little Star, I can take care of you.”
“I’m good at my job, and my income is decent. My savings over the years aren’t too much, but they should be enough for you to buy whatever you want. I also have some real estate, stocks, funds, and the He Group. You can live just like before—you only need to do what you love.”
Jian Fanxing understood what He Qing meant. She also believed that He Qing would do exactly as she said. She could take care of her, and not just that—she could provide her with a very comfortable life.
But being “taken care of” made Jian Fanxing feel like a caged bird. And she didn’t like that idea.
“Sis, do you really love the version of me you just described?”
