My Sister Likes My Sister - Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Yu Si-yan Wants, Yu Si-yan Gets
Yu Si-yan quickly tasted her own flavor on Shen Jianlan’s lips, just as she had thoroughly tasted Shen Jianlan’s earlier.
They continued until the sky began to lighten. By the end, they had no energy left. Their hot bodies were pressed together, a corner of the blanket loosely covering them, concealing all traces of their abandon as if nothing had happened.
Shen Jianlan was still struggling to get up. Yu Si-yan gently pulled her wrist, her voice fragmented and drowsy. “What are you doing, sis?”
Shen Jianlan turned back to soothe her. “Going to take a shower.”
As if worried Yu Si-yan might misunderstand again, she emphasized her promise: “I’ll be right back.”
“Oh.” Overcome by a wave of exhaustion, Yu Si-yan lay listlessly on the bed, not wanting to move or even think about getting clean.
Even though the bedsheets were a crumpled mess with hardly a flat spot, the two of them could still manage to squeeze together.
The woman on the bed slowly closed her eyes, lying motionless on the drier half of the bed. Her black hair was loosely gathered on one side, and the white blanket casually covered her from the collarbone down. Her breathing soon became calm and even.
She seemed to have fallen asleep just like that.
Shen Jianlan frowned. She couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you going to wash up?”
Yu Si-yan was too lazy to open her eyes. “I have no strength~”
She was whining, and Shen Jianlan couldn’t do anything about it. She hesitated, but still couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really not going to wash up?”
Yu Si-yan reluctantly opened her eyes, her foxy eyes droopy and wronged. “I’m really sleepy~”
She pouted. “I can’t even lift my arms…”
Shen Jianlan’s eyes fell for a moment, pointing out her bluff. “Then walk over here. I’ll… I’ll help you wash.”
Yu Si-yan: “…”
Why was it so hard to be lazy for once?
Suddenly, a cool sensation on her ankle. It was Shen Jianlan, who had just washed her hands. Her half-dry palm gently circled Yu Si-yan’s ankle, her fingertips lightly caressing every inch of skin.
Yu Si-yan let out a soft gasp. “Don’t touch me there…”
“Why?” Shen Jianlan ignored her protest. She even applied a little more force, holding her foot down as if afraid she would escape.
Yu Si-yan’s brows furrowed slightly. She couldn’t stand this feeling of being confined.
It was too… arousing. She had the illusion of being controlled and unable to escape. She abruptly sat up. “Let go of me. I’ll go myself.”
Shen Jianlan smiled. “Okay.”
She let go, but as Yu Si-yan got up, she gently pressed close to her again. “Your legs are weak.”
Yu Si-yan: “…”
She seemed to have no trouble with her hands when she was squeezing her ankle just now.
Yu Si-yan gave a wry smile. “My arms are weak too. I can’t support you.”
Shen Jianlan nodded thoughtfully. “Then I’ll support you?”
Yu Si-yan declined the offer.
The feeling of her ankle being controlled was still vivid in her memory. She didn’t want to endure that kind of… pleasure again so soon.
The two of them, with no pretense of romance, cleaned up and then held each other, falling into a deep sleep in the small, shared space on the bed.
This time, Yu Si-yan was cunning. She forced herself to open her eyes early.
The woman in her arms was still sleeping, but not very peacefully. Her eyelids twitched from time to time, and her brows furrowed uncomfortably.
It was as if she were enduring great hardship even in her dreams.
Yu Si-yan tried to reach out and gently caress her face, but she realized her wrist was tightly clasped and she couldn’t move.
The two of them were locked together in an uncomfortable position. Shen Jianlan was pressed tightly against her, leaving no possible gaps and giving her no chance to escape.
Even in her dream, she was using a lot of strength. Yu Si-yan tried to struggle a bit, and the force on her wrist instantly intensified.
“Is she that insecure?”
Yu Si-yan thought to herself. She gave up struggling, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.
A few minutes later, the woman in her arms suddenly opened her eyes. Her clear gaze first stared intently at the person beside her for a long time, then she slowly exhaled, closed her eyes with a sense of relief, and continued sleeping.
The hand gripping Yu Si-yan’s wrist loosened, like a slipknot, but there was still no chance of escape.
Since she had come, she shouldn’t think about leaving…
When Yu Si-yan opened her eyes again, the first thing she noticed was that her wrist was finally free. The soft, warm body of the woman was no longer in her arms. Instead, there was a hotel teddy bear.
The bed was empty. The clothes had been put away, and only her small pile remained, neatly folded on the bedside table.
The bedsheets had dried overnight, leaving no trace, and the woman who had been tangled up with her last night had also left no trace, not even a single strand of hair.
Yu Si-yan stared at the pillow for a long time. It was perfectly clean. In the past, when she woke up after a night’s sleep, a few of her long black hairs would always be left on the pillow.
But now there was none.
It was obvious that everything had been tidied up. Even the blanket on her body was tucked in neatly.
She was silent for a moment, her eyes scanning the room, then she let out a laugh of exasperation.
“Wonderful. When she wants something, she pins me down so I can’t move. When she wants to leave, she goes without a sound.”
Last time, she at least ordered takeout. This time, there wasn’t even takeout.
Yu Si-yan slowly picked up her phone, ignoring the random friend requests. There was only a late-night joke from Guan Xianglin: “How was it this time? [dog emoji]”
Yu Si-yan typed back: “Very satisfying [hiding mouth laugh].”
Even with a good friend, she sometimes had to save face.
There was a bottle of mineral water on the bedside table. Yu Si-yan twisted the cap and found that it had been opened. She gulped down most of the bottle, replenishing the water she had lost last night.
Her mind also seemed to have cleared up a lot.
Guan Xianglin replied instantly: “Don’t tell me you forgot to add them on WeChat again.”
Yu Si-yan waited a few seconds. “Don’t trouble yourself.”
Her words were ambiguous. It would be too embarrassing if Guan Xianglin knew that not only had she failed to get a contact method again, but the other person had also run off after waking up.
The water she drank moistened the cut on her lip. She hadn’t felt the pain last night, but now a faint stinging sensation came over her, along with a slight red mark on her wrist, all thanks to Shen Jianlan.
Yu Si-yan’s eyes drooped in a pitiful expression.
She considered herself someone who had never truly fallen in love and had, wittingly or unwittingly, disappointed many girls. But this was the first time she had been so blatantly and clearly “ghosted.”
No, the second time.
Falling into the same trap twice was not her style.
Rolling around on the bed while hugging the teddy bear, Yu Si-yan ungracefully realized that she wanted to fall into the trap a third time.
Was this masochism? Yu Si-yan immediately dismissed the thought. She told herself righteously, “This is all consensual. What’s wrong with wanting it?”
Yu Si-yan wants, Yu Si-yan gets.
The thought had not even finished forming when the door to the room opened.
As if afraid of startling her, the person outside was extremely gentle when they came in and closed the door.
Yu Si-yan immediately closed her eyes, but it was too late.
Shen Jianlan put down the things in her hands and called out softly, “Time to get up.”
Yu Si-yan hugged the teddy bear tightly, feigning sleep in a very unconvincing manner.
After a moment of silence, Shen Jianlan didn’t come over to kiss her awake as she had hoped.
Yu Si-yan reluctantly opened her eyes, only to see the neatly dressed woman standing quietly at the head of her bed, looking patient and waiting for her to wake up.
Yu Si-yan let out a soft huff. “Where did you go behind my back again, sis?”
Shen Jianlan calmly explained, “The hotel’s delivery robot was broken. I went downstairs to get the takeout.”
“Was the elevator broken too?” A few minutes had passed since Yu Si-yan woke up.
When Yu Si-yan realized she was acting like a spoiled child, she couldn’t help but find it funny herself.
She was thirty years old and still so immature.
Adults have an unspoken understanding. Even if Shen Jianlan had gone out to meet another lover, it had nothing to do with her.
Shen Jianlan looked into her eyes and answered seriously, “The elevator wasn’t broken. I was just waiting for the delivery rider for a while.”
It was almost the New Year, and fewer and fewer riders were taking orders, so the delivery speed was greatly reduced.
Yu Si-yan nodded. She couldn’t find a reason to blame her. For a moment, they just stared at each other in silence. Then Shen Jianlan suddenly smiled softly. “My bad. I didn’t leave you a note.”
“This is the 21st century. Who still leaves notes?”
But with such a good attitude, Yu Si-yan could only whine a soft “Mm,” and she held up her phone. “Then, sis, can we add each other’s contact information?”
Shen Jianlan froze for a moment, then looked away as if burned, avoiding the topic. “Let’s get up and eat first. It’ll get cold in a bit.”
Yu Si-yan: “…”
In her entire life, people had always scrambled to add her on WeChat. This was the first time she had been rejected for asking for someone’s WeChat.
The woman who rejected her had even shared a bed with her twice!
No, they had even made plans for a “next time.”
Yu Si-yan slowly got out of bed and went to wash up. When she came back out, Shen Jianlan had already filled the small table with food.
Yu Si-yan scanned the table. It was a similar combination to last time, with everything one might need carefully considered. She glanced at the bed, and even the blanket had been neatly folded.
To do all this showed a lot of thoughtfulness.
Shen Jianlan listened to her. This time, she didn’t leave right away but waited patiently for her to wake up and eat.
The aftercare was meticulous, with no flaws to be found.
But it also felt like a countdown, meaning that after she finished all this, she would quietly leave again, disappearing from her world once more.
And the next time would be another encounter based on luck.
It seemed perfectly reasonable for a relationship like theirs.
It was not convenient to get too close, so as to not cross any boundaries. And since she didn’t even know the other person’s name, how could she easily give her heart?
But as she took a sip of the warm coconut chicken soup, a hollow feeling still filled Yu Si-yan’s heart.
It was like a building that had been painstakingly constructed all night, only to suddenly collapse once again. All that was left were a few swaying steel beams, and in a little while, it would turn back into the messy ruins it was before.
Everything was reset. She didn’t like the feeling of starting over every time.
But if she didn’t expect anything, she would be safest.
Yu Si-yan unknowingly ate a lot. Only when she was finished did she realize that the woman across from her had just been smiling, watching her eat, and had only taken a few sips of her own soup.
She held up the spoon and blinked innocently. “Aren’t you going to eat, sis?”
Shen Jianlan shook her head. “I already ate.”
With such a slender and fragile body, she looked nothing like someone who had already eaten.
