So It Turns Out You’re a Fox Spirit (GL) - Chapter 34
Sleeping, still one on the left and one on the right, with a pillow’s distance in the middle.
Le Xiaoyao was curled up under the quilt, half her face exposed, feeling uneasy. She didn’t know what she was nervous about, or more accurately, she didn’t know why she was shamelessly staying to sleep at Fu Jin’s place.
It was already late, probably past midnight.
Fu Jin quietly leaned against the headboard, reading a book, not speaking. Why wasn’t she speaking yet? Le Xiaoyao moved her body to get closer to her, but felt uncomfortable in every position, tossing and turning.
“Fu Jin, aren’t you going to sleep yet?” Le Xiaoyao poked half her head out of the quilt and asked Fu Jin.
Fu Jin put down the book in her hand and turned off the light directly, “Mmm, let’s sleep.”
The situation was strikingly similar to that night. After a long silence, Le Xiaoyao couldn’t resist anymore. “Are you asleep?”
“Not yet.”
“Didn’t you prefer sleeping in the middle?”
“Whatever.”
She clearly said she liked sleeping in the middle before. This fickle woman. Le Xiaoyao continued to make conversation, “Are you cold?”
“Not really.”
Le Xiaoyao didn’t believe it. Her hand was clearly cold last time. So, she secretly reached out her hand under the quilt, held Fu Jin’s hand, and it was still slightly cool. “Your hand is so icy, and you say you’re not cold~” Taking advantage of the situation, Le Xiaoyao moved her body again, getting closer to her.
“Fu Jin, come here!”
Fu Jin suppressed a smile. She wanted to see how far Le Xiaoyao would go with her antics. “Mmm?”
“Will this be better?” Le Xiaoyao reached out and pulled Fu Jin over, hugging her. To be frank, she just wanted to hug her, so why was it so hard to say?! “I’m very warm…”
Fu Jin also reached out and put her arm around Le Xiaoyao’s waist, “Mmm, you are very warm.”
“You’re too thin. You should eat more.”
“Then… you cook for me.”
“Okay~”
…
Le Xiaoyao slept exceptionally well that night, not feeling uncomfortable because there was an extra person in the bed. When she woke up the next morning, Fu Jin was still sleeping in her arms~
Unable to resist for a moment, Le Xiaoyao lowered her head and gave Fu Jin a small kiss on the lips, afraid of waking her up. When she found that Fu Jin was still sound asleep, she boldly kissed her again~ After shamelessly kissing her three or four times, she was finally satisfied and tiptoed out of bed to prepare breakfast…
After Le Xiaoyao got out of bed, Fu Jin opened her eyes, shook her head, and smiled, a mixture of sweetness and helplessness.
After the “passionate kiss” on the night of the power outage, the relationship between the two had noticeably changed, although neither of them said much. However, generally speaking, the two had entered a period of ambiguity. Le Xiaoyao occasionally found some meaningless excuses to seize the opportunity to get close to Fu Jin, sometimes hugging, sometimes cuddling. As for kissing, she could only do it when Fu Jin was asleep and unaware.
Fu Jin finally understood that Le Xiaoyao needed to be pushed to take the next step. What if no one pushed her? She would just stand still. Fu Jin never thought she would be the proactive one, but she didn’t expect someone to be even less proactive than her~ This made her even more curious to see what Le Xiaoyao would look like when she was proactive.
So, on the road to enticing Le Xiaoyao, Teacher Fu went further and further…
During showers… she would always ask someone to come in and deliver a towel or underwear; after showering, she would wander around the house wrapped only in a bath towel, occasionally giving a glimpse of her body; at night, she would pretend to be asleep, her hands being quite “naughty.”
But damn it, Le Xiaoyao must be the reincarnation of Liu Xiahui; not looking sideways and remaining unmoved when a beauty was present was child’s play for her. Even Fu Jin started contemplating life. What exactly does she mean?
Le Xiaoyao also wanted to ask this question! Fu Jin, what exactly do you mean? You are interested in me, aren’t you? Why don’t you say it? Shouldn’t we say something to confirm our relationship?
And so, in this state where neither was willing to speak first nor act first, several more days passed. The Chinese New Year was fast approaching. Le Xiaoyao inherently disliked the New Year; it was the season for blind dates, and just thinking about it gave her a headache. Plus, she might not see Fu Jin during the Chinese New Year holiday, which made her even more depressed. These days, Le Xiaoyao was so distracted by her that she would see the sight of her wrapped in a bath towel at work. All she thought about was getting off work quickly and seeing her as soon as possible.
The thirtieth day of the lunar month was in a few days. Le Mom had already called many times to urge Le Xiaoyao to come home for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Le Xiaoyao endured Le Mom’s bombardment while looking at Fu Jin, thinking, what about her? Fu Jin’s parents were in the UK, and it didn’t look like she was planning to go to the UK for the New Year. Should she leave her here alone?
“Fu Jin, do you have any plans for the Chinese New Year holiday?”
Fu Jin was still busy with her work and didn’t have time to look up at Le Xiaoyao, “Nothing, why do you ask…”
“I have to go home in a few days, so what about you…”
“It’s almost the thirtieth, of course you have to go home and see your family.”
Le Xiaoyao actually wanted to say that it wasn’t just a brief visit home; she might be gone for quite a few days. She suddenly remembered that Fu Jin and Xu Xuan were cousins. “By the way, are you celebrating with President Xu?”
“No, she has other plans.”
Since Xu Xuan moved out and became independent, the concept of family reunion was basically nonexistent for her. She wouldn’t stay in the country during the Chinese New Year holiday, but would travel abroad to avoid being annoyed by too much going on.
“How about… you come home with me for the New Year?”
“Sure.” Fu Jin finally stopped working, looked at Le Xiaoyao, and agreed.
“Ah?” This time, Le Xiaoyao was flustered and didn’t know how to respond for a moment. After a while, she took out her phone, “Then I’ll tell my mom.”
Seeing her troubled expression, Fu Jin naturally knew she was teasing her, and she actually took it seriously. So, she snatched the phone from her hand, “I was kidding, and you actually took it seriously.”
However, Le Xiaoyao was still worried about Fu Jin. After much nagging, she decided to go home for five days and then come back to accompany Fu Jin. After all, five days wasn’t even enough time to visit all her relatives. Then she called Huang Chenchen to invite her to go home together.
“Big Sister, when are you leaving?”
Huang Chenchen seemed to have completely forgotten about the Chinese New Year. “Leaving? Going where?”
“Back to your beloved hometown!”
Unexpectedly, Big Sister Huang said she wasn’t going back this year? Le Xiaoyao thought her ears were malfunctioning. She actually wasn’t going back? For so many years, which time wasn’t she extremely excited when the Chinese New Year holiday arrived? She always said something like, I’ve been working so hard for a year, constantly exposed to the wind and rain, which completely washed away my noble lady temperament. Now that the New Year is here, I can finally tidy myself up, restore my former elegance, dress up meticulously, and dazzle a bunch of men!
“What are you busy with? If you don’t go back, Uncle Huang will kill you~”
“Work-related matters. I’ll explain this. Have fun on your blind dates, mwah~ Gotta go…”
