Pair A? No Thanks! [Transmigration] - Chapter 18
Shi Ning thought her words had been quite explicit. Anyone with a little knowledge of “that” subject could probably guess where she was hinting she wanted to bite.
But Su Tianxue was the exception.
She blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion, her tone as innocent as a child’s: “Doesn’t being bitten hurt? Why would it feel good or stimulating?”
Her stubborn, serious side came out again. She spoke to Shi Ning in an earnest tone: “Biting causes pain, and pain is an unpleasant emotion that a human feels after being hurt. It’s usually the opposite of happiness.”
Shi Ning was stunned for a moment, staring at Su Tianxue: “Are you serious?”
She was being provocative, and Su Tianxue was giving her a science lecture.
Su Tianxue pursed her lips: “I’m just correcting your mistake.”
Shi Ning thought, this person knows nothing and still wants to top her… she’s very brave and has big ambitions.
Su Tianxue took advantage of Shi Ning’s moment of bewilderment. Seeing her grip loosen, she quickly reached out and pushed her away. Shi Ning stumbled back but wasn’t in a hurry. After regaining her footing, she watched as Su Tianxue opened the closet and rummaged for bedding.
She crossed her arms, watching her at her leisure.
“Are you going to make us sleep separately?”
Su Tianxue took out the bedding, spread it on the floor, and, unwilling to speak to her, took the pillow from the double bed and placed it on the floor. After doing all this, she went to the master bathroom to wash up again, then, like a silent robot, she prepared to lie down in the makeshift bed on the floor.
Shi Ning, who had been silently watching her movements, spoke up now.
Shi Ning walked over, crouched down by the floor, and looked into the eyes of Su Tianxue, who was tightly wrapped in a blanket. She hugged her knees and asked curiously, “You want me to sleep on the bed?”
Su Tianxue closed her eyes, clutching the blanket, and answered indifferently: “Would you agree to sleep on the floor?”
How could a person whose clothes cost hundreds of thousands be willing to sleep on the floor at her house?
Su Tianxue wasn’t an idiot. To avoid an unnecessary argument over where to sleep that might wake her sister and Su Ningran, Su Tianxue simply crawled into the floor bed and lay down. She was like a silkworm cocoon, and Shi Ning found her a little cute.
She smiled and shook her head: “Why wouldn’t I?”
With that, she reached out to pull Su Tianxue’s blanket, intending to burrow into Su Tianxue’s makeshift bed. Su Tianxue was startled. The cocoon, which had been in a state of ice and snow, suddenly sprang to life as if spring had arrived, leaping to her feet: “What are you doing!”
Shi Ning was innocent: “Sleeping on the floor, with you.”
Su Tianxue felt her brain was about to suffer a major trauma.
Shi Ning explained: “We’re a couple now.”
Su Tianxue: “There’s no one else in the room.”
Shi Ning exclaimed, “Wow, Su Tianxue, I didn’t know you were this kind of person.”
Su Tianxue: “?”
Shi Ning: “I saw you have a bunch of Confucian classics on your bookshelf. How can you be one way when you read and another way when you’re a person? What happened to ‘being cautious when alone’ and ‘not deceiving the dark room’? Why don’t you want to maintain our marriage when no one is watching?”
Su Tianxue: “…Shut up.”
She frowned and kicked Shi Ning: “Get off.”
Shi Ning pretended to be hurt, clutching her chest: “You’re a domestic abuser!”
…This person is so annoying! Why did a perfectly fine person have to have a mouth!
Su Tianxue patiently gritted her teeth and asked: “Where did I hit you?”
Shi Ning manually made a heart-breaking motion, and even provided her own sound effects.
“Snap, crackle,” Shi Ning said pitifully, “You hit my heart. My heart hurts.”
Su Tianxue took three deep breaths, got up, bent down, picked up the blanket from the floor, and then plopped onto the bed, wrapping herself up tightly in the blanket and lying down.
Shi Ning looked at the mummy on the bed and just wanted to laugh, but she was afraid if she laughed too maniacally, she’d scare her away again.
Su Tianxue, seeing she still wasn’t getting on the bed, grew a little impatient. She patted the edge of the bed and said four words: “Get on, sleep.”
Shi Ning hadn’t expected this turn of events.
She asked curiously: “Wife, can you tell me what I said that moved you, making you change your mind and decide to treat me gently?”
Su Tianxue turned over, her back to Shi Ning, and said coldly: “Nothing.”
“I’m afraid you’ll talk me to death.”
Shi Ning didn’t get angry. She cheekily scooted closer and kissed the side of Su Tianxue’s face. Su Tianxue’s eyes were closed, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. She must have felt her movement, so she was a little scared, a little nervous. Shi Ning whispered in her ear: “Don’t be scared, I don’t eat people.”
Her tone was gentle: “Wife, I’m happy you’re letting me sleep on the bed with you.”
Su Tianxue could imagine Shi Ning’s annoying expression when she said those words, even with her eyes closed.
The next second, she felt a light breath fall on her, then the smell of the ocean, and then, Shi Ning’s light chuckle, like a snowflake or a small feather drifting down, tickling her, making Su Tianxue want to reach out and swat it away.
Shi Ning mischievously reminded her: “Wife, why don’t you try splitting the word ‘å’¬’ (bite)?”
After saying that, she scurried off into the bathroom to take a shower.
Showering in the middle of the night, no one else would do that but Shi Ning.
Su Tianxue was a smart person. As soon as Shi Ning said that, she split the character in half. Then—her face turned beet red and smoked, making a humming sound like a machine malfunctioning from energy overload.
Su Tianxue’s cold and beautiful face was tinged with a blush. This came from her instincts, and she felt a new sense of annoyance towards Shi Ning. Why did she always lose to her? When could she make Shi Ning blush just once?
Su Tianxue gritted her teeth, feeling she should study up a bit and figure out a way to win against Shi Ning. She was not the type of person who would always lose and be led around by the nose.
She was going to cram her knowledge on what women and women do!
And then, she would launch a counterattack against Shi Ning.
In the bathroom, Shi Ning had no idea that Su Tianxue had thought about so many things in that single moment. She turned on the cold water valve and, still in her clothes, stepped directly into the shower.
The icy water extinguished the unquenchable fire that had risen in her heart. She closed her eyes, wiped her face, and when she closed her eyes, all she could see was the expression on Su Tianxue’s face before she was interrupted.
Shi Ning found it difficult to describe that expression. She could only say that Su Tianxue’s defiance and competitive spirit were so special, so moving. She was like a moth, knowing it was an impossible feat, yet still foolishly flying forward to tease the other person, waiting for their reaction as if watching a show. She wanted to see the other person beg for mercy, to see their pride broken.
But Shi Ning also knew that she and Su Tianxue could hardly go to the next step.
Although she was a scumbag, a good-for-nothing, the kind of person who would just hang around the streets in Beijing, the only difference was that old men wore flip-flops and carried a large fan, while she wore suits and carried high-end bags. At first glance, people might think she was a street-style photographer, but a closer look would reveal she was just a street bum in a fancy package.
Even so, she had her principles and bottom lines.
When doing something for pleasure, there was no reason to force someone.
She wouldn’t force Su Tianxue, but she also couldn’t agree to let Su Tianxue top her. Right now, her psychological state was almost the same as Su Tianxue’s. Neither wanted to be the one who submitted.
Su Tianxue—
Shi Ning grabbed the showerhead and let the cold water beat against her head, a heavy downpour.
The heat in her heart still hadn’t subsided.
Shi Ning let out a long sigh, covered her eyes with her hands, and leaned against the bathroom wall: “This isn’t a long-term solution.”
Author’s Note:
Today’s update is a bit late. I’ll also start revising the text from today to tomorrow. I can revise a maximum of ten chapters a day. I don’t know if I’ll finish in two days. I hope the frequent update notifications won’t bother anyone.
