Scarred Hearts — A Girls' Love Tale - Chapter 31

Luo Qinghan gently sat up. Shuang’er’s breathing had become calm, and her body instinctively curled up, as if sensing the warmth moving away and trying to get closer to Luo Qinghan again. Luo Qinghan held her hand to stop her from moving—her upper body injuries hadn’t healed yet, still wrapped in gauze, and all that movement just now probably made things worse.

Thinking about this made Luo Qinghan glance at Yan Shuangfei with concern. Shuang’er was fast asleep and had lost her memory, so she didn’t have to worry about any of this. Her right hand tightly held onto Luo Qinghan’s, and there was a content smile on her face as she slept.

Luo Qinghan couldn’t help but find it funny—Shuang’er, who had once been so headstrong, now seemed different. She was more dependent on her. Luo Qinghan reached out her slender fingers and gently brushed across Yan Shuangfei’s lips. Shuang’er stirred a little, parting her lips slightly, and Luo Qinghan’s fingertips happened to touch the warm, moist tip of her tongue.

Her heart skipped a beat, and suddenly a mischievous urge took over. She began teasing Shuang’er, gently curling her finger around the soft tongue, letting it slip deeper into her warm mouth.

Yan Shuangfei was sleeping deeply, no longer the hyper-alert person who’d snap awake at the slightest sound. Luo Qinghan focused on playing with her, and Shuang’er didn’t even notice—in fact, she seemed to respond to the touch. When her entire finger was wrapped in that hot, wet mouth, the feeling was so vivid that Luo Qinghan felt her whole body heat up. The way that soft tongue slid around her finger… it was intoxicating.

Luo Qinghan was beginning to understand why Yan Shuangfei had such a deep hunger for intimacy.

After a while, Yan Shuangfei seemed to grow tired and stopped reacting. She licked her lips and gently bit her lower lip, then fell still.

Luo Qinghan slowly pulled her finger out, not disappointed in the slightest. Instead, she was amused by the thin strands of saliva that trailed from Shuang’er’s lips. Satisfied, she lay back down and peacefully went to sleep.

Luo Qinghan was woken up by Yan Shuangfei’s tightening grip on her hand. The pain forced her to open her eyes, and she was met with Shuang’er’s tear-filled face. Her lower lip was pressed tightly between her teeth, but small sounds of pain still escaped. When she saw Luo Qinghan wake up, she looked away nervously, avoiding her gaze.

Is she worried about waking me up? Luo Qinghan thought to herself. Even after losing her memory, Shuang’er was still so considerate and restrained.

Luo Qinghan got out of bed, still worried, and was about to go find a doctor when one walked in carrying medical tools.

“I’m here to change her bandages,” the doctor said calmly, putting on gloves.

At that, Yan Shuangfei’s face instantly fell. She looked pitifully at Luo Qinghan, brows tightly furrowed, shrinking back fearfully and whispering as if begging, “Qinghan…”

That soft plea nearly melted Luo Qinghan’s heart. She took a deep breath, held Shuang’er’s hand, and gently reassured her, “Don’t be afraid… I’m right here with you. It’ll be over soon.”

Shuang’er lay flat on the bed as the doctor expertly cut away the bandages. The gauze had soaked through with bl00d and had hardened. The innermost layer was completely saturated. When the doctor finally peeled it off, Yan Shuangfei trembled, and her grip on Luo Qinghan’s hand tightened even more.

“There, there…” Luo Qinghan struggled to come up with comforting words. She’d never really comforted anyone before. Repeating the same phrases over and over for Shuang’er was a new experience for her.

Yan Shuangfei said nothing, just gasped for breath. Her lips were already bleeding from how hard she’d been biting them. Luo Qinghan saw that and immediately leaned over, gently kissing her lips, licking away the bl00d with care.

“You sure you want to get her all riled up while I’m treating her wounds?” the doctor said with a smirk, but their hands never stopped moving. “I don’t mind witnessing a live romance show.”

“Shut up!” Luo Qinghan snapped for once, uncharacteristically sharp-tongued. Neither of them seemed to notice whether this kind of behavior might have some unintended side effects on Shuang’er, who had a brain injury.

Luo Qinghan turned to look at Yan Shuangfei, who had indeed calmed down a lot. Though she was still sweating from the pain, she didn’t lash out or flinch like before. That quick kiss seemed to have had a calming effect—Shuang’er looked down, blushing, her eyes darting away. It was the first time Luo Qinghan had seen her act so shy and gentle.

Right then, Luo Qinghan made up her mind: instead of pretending nothing was happening, she’d find a way to make things clear and awaken the heart of the woman she loved.

“So, did you like that just now?” Luo Qinghan raised an eyebrow. Her face looked serious, but the playful tone in her voice revealed her true intentions.

For Yan Shuangfei, that question was way too weird. She felt like Luo Qinghan was looking at her like a hungry wolf ready to devour her.

No no no, that can’t be it. Qinghan’s so gentle—how could she want to eat me alive? Pure, innocent Shuang’er tried to convince herself.

“Answer me,” Luo Qinghan leaned in, her face just inches away. Even the doctor had to pause awkwardly, unsure how to continue the treatment. Luo Qinghan’s warm breath brushed her face, carrying her unique scent. Yan Shuangfei panicked, her body restless, heartbeat racing. As Luo Qinghan’s face got closer and closer, about to touch hers—

“I like it!” Yan Shuangfei yanked at the bedsheet, stammering out her answer, turning her head away in embarrassment.

Luo Qinghan couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Holding that teasing pose for a moment longer, she was finally interrupted.

“Miss Luo,” the doctor said, frustrated, “would you please give me space to treat her properly?”

“Oh, right, right…” Luo Qinghan moved aside, but couldn’t resist continuing to tease. “So, how did it feel?”

The doctor’s scalpel paused briefly. Miss Luo, you’re more shameless than I thought… appearances really are deceiving, they thought, shaking their head as they got back to work.

“…Warm… and soft.” Shuang’er’s voice was barely a whisper, so quiet even she could hardly hear herself. What kind of weird questions are these?!

Luo Qinghan heard her, though, and beamed with delight. She leaned in and planted a few quick kisses on Shuang’er’s cheek. “I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me!”

The doctor quietly packed up their tools, watching the scene with wordless resignation. So everyone really does have a weird side…
