Teasing the Strawberry-Flavored Baby Alpha (ABO, GL) - Chapter 43
Chapter 43
The next day’s exams went smoothly for Shen Tian, especially English. Her mom had hired a dedicated English tutor for her, Little Lu Sister, and Lin Yinan. The three of them could even hold conversations in English without any trouble.
After the afternoon exam ended, the students rushed out like wild horses let loose, bursting with excitement. Shen Tian was thrilled too. She had saved up the two kisses from today’s exams, planning to claim them all at once from her Little Lu Sister tonight.
Lu Ningwan spotted Shen Tian from a distance. But with the crowd surging at the school gate and everyone so hyped up, Lu Ningwan could only follow the flow out of the gate toward where Mommy and Mom had parked. Before she got there, she saw her little puppy dash over and give Mommy and Mom each a big hug.
Lu Ningwan walked over with a smile, and Shen Tian immediately ran to give her a hug too.
“Little Lu Sister, we finally don’t have to wake up so early every day. Tomorrow, I’m going to sleep until the world goes dark,” Shen Tian said, her eyes sparkling. High school had been exhausting. Shen Tian wasn’t worried about her studies, but the lack of sleep was real. Many times, she hadn’t even fully woken up before she had to drag herself to school. Now, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Alright, we can catch up on some lazy mornings these next few days,” Lu Ningwan said, her gaze soft as she looked at Shen Tian.
Shen Xian, seeing the two little ones hugging for ages with no sign of letting go, gave a tactical cough or two to pull their attention back.
Shen Tian turned and saw Mommy and Mom both looking at her and Little Lu Sister. She suddenly felt a bit shy and let go of Lu Ningwan’s hand.
Lu Ningwan, on the other hand, gave Mommy and Mom a calm smile, not the least bit embarrassed.
Shen Xian looked at the two little ones and felt even more that her little one’s shy demeanor didn’t seem very alpha-like at all.
Shen Tian was in an especially great mood because her three years of high school were finally over. Plus, past midnight, it would be her eighteenth birthday. She was already thinking about asking her Little Lu Sister for a few extra kisses.
After dinner, Shen Tian couldn’t stop thinking about what gift her Little Lu Sister might give her at midnight. She couldn’t sit still in her room for long. She decided to go claim those two exam kisses first.
Shen Tian knocked on the door and turned the handle to Lu Ningwan’s room. She saw Lu Ningwan leaning against the headboard, casually flipping through a magazine. Shen Tian stared for a while before realizing something was off. The nightgown her Little Lu Sister was wearing wasn’t the usual one. This one was a spaghetti strap, leaving Little Lu Sister’s fair shoulders and neck exposed. She looked even prettier than before!
At that moment, Shen Tian only thought it looked nice. She glanced a few extra times but didn’t dwell on it. Her main goal was to come get her kisses.
Shen Tian sat on the edge of the bed, smiling at Lu Ningwan and saying in a coaxing tone, “Little Lu Sister, you still owe me two kisses from today’s exams, right?”
Lu Ningwan set down the magazine and flashed Shen Tian a smile. The next moment, she said, “Want kisses, huh?”
Shen Tian nodded eagerly. “Yup, yup, I want them.”
Lu Ningwan gently pushed Shen Tian, who was leaning toward her, back a bit. “Didn’t Tiantian say I’m just like mangosteen? Then go ask a mangosteen for kisses. It’s the same thing.” With that, she picked up the magazine and started flipping through it again.
Shen Tian froze, stunned. Yesterday, she had just blurted that out without thinking, and now Little Lu Sister was holding a grudge! Whine, she hadn’t even gotten her kisses yet.
Shen Tian kicked off her slippers, climbed onto the bed, and scooted close to Lu Ningwan. “Little Lu Sister, I said the wrong thing yesterday. You’re way more important than mangosteen. Oh, and more important than custard buns too.”
Lu Ningwan gave her little puppy a half-smile. Oh, her little puppy was quick to change her tune. “Is that so? That’s not what you said yesterday. I remember it quite clearly.”
“Little Lu Sister, I messed up yesterday. Since my birthday’s almost here, don’t hold it against me,” Shen Tian said, tugging at Lu Ningwan’s sleeve with a pleading look.
Lu Ningwan’s body shook with laughter at her little puppy’s words. She lightly tapped the little puppy and scoffed. “So I have to hurry up and forget what you said yesterday? You’re quite something, aren’t you?”
Shen Tian grinned, a little embarrassed. “Hehe, Little Lu Sister, I’m only *kinda* something.”
Lu Ningwan reached out and poked her little puppy’s forehead, cutting off her unrealistic ideas. “Nope. If you want kisses, you’ll have to wait until midnight to get them all at once.”
“Midnight? Alright then,” Shen Tian said. She was fine with waiting a bit longer for the kisses. She plopped down next to Lu Ningwan and started playing with her phone.
Lu Ningwan glanced at her little puppy. She had purposely changed into this nightgown today, so how come her little puppy had no reaction at all? Not happy. She couldn’t let her little puppy play on her phone so comfortably either.
With that thought, Lu Ningwan leaned toward Shen Tian. Shen Tian put an arm around Lu Ningwan’s shoulder, and her hand met smooth skin. She had forgotten Little Lu Sister was wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown today.
Lu Ningwan saw her little puppy’s arm around her shoulder, and the corner of her mouth curved up. But then her little puppy’s next words completely shut her down.
“Little Lu Sister, is the air conditioning set a bit low? Aren’t you cold in that spaghetti strap nightgown?” her little puppy Shen Tian asked earnestly, her tone full of concern.
Lu Ningwan couldn’t muster any joy. Was her little puppy only worried about whether she was cold?
“Not cold. I’m done talking to you. I’m going to lie down for a bit.” With that, Lu Ningwan got up from her little puppy’s embrace, turned over, and lay down with the back of her head facing her.
Shen Tian was at a loss. Had she said something wrong again? Wasn’t Little Lu Sister just leaning on her perfectly fine a moment ago?
Seeing that Lu Ningwan had really closed her eyes, Shen Tian didn’t dare disturb her further. She played on her phone for a bit longer and then dozed off hazily.
While Shen Tian was sleeping soundly, she felt an itch on her face. She mumbled a couple of times, scratched her face, and tried to go back to sleep. But then the other side of her face started itching too. Reluctantly, she opened her eyes and saw her Little Lu Sister sweeping her hair across her cheek. No wonder it was itchy.
Shen Tian rubbed her eyes, her voice still soft and groggy from just waking up. “Little Lu Sister, what are you doing?”
Lu Ningwan was still holding a strand of Shen Tian’s hair. Seeing her little puppy looking at her with a pitiful expression, Lu Ningwan smiled and said, “Waking you up. Look, it’s midnight. Happy birthday, my Tiantian. May you grow up safe and happy, and may I be by your side for every birthday from now on.”
Shen Tian saw that her Little Lu Sister had stayed up so late just to wish her a happy birthday. She immediately perked up, beaming as she said, “Thank you, Little Lu Sister. For every one of your birthdays from now on, I’ll be by your side too.”
Lu Ningwan propped herself up on one hand, her gaze soft as she looked at her little puppy. So, her little puppy was an adult now?
Lu Ningwan reached out and tickled Shen Tian’s chin, teasing her. “Our Tiantian’s a grown-up now. You can do things only adults can do.”
Shen Tian nodded but couldn’t quite figure out what adults could do for a moment. She decided not to think about it. Now that she was awake, she immediately remembered that her Little Lu Sister still owed her two exam kisses.
“Little Lu Sister, can I have my kisses now? You promised,” Shen Tian said, looking at Lu Ningwan with starry, expectant eyes.
Lu Ningwan let out a helpless laugh. She had even changed into a spaghetti strap nightgown, and her little puppy only cared about whether she was cold. It seemed she couldn’t count on her little puppy to take the lead. Fine, she’d do it herself—stake her claim on her little puppy before anyone else could.
“Alright, here you go,” Lu Ningwan said with a smile. Seeing her little puppy already tilting her face toward her, Lu Ningwan’s gaze darkened. Her little puppy was offering herself up, so she couldn’t be blamed for this.
Lu Ningwan’s eyes curved with a smile as she leaned in, looking at her little puppy. But this kiss wasn’t just a peck on the cheek. Lu Ningwan pressed her lips directly to Shen Tian’s, a light, fleeting touch like a dragonfly skimming water before pulling back.
Shen Tian’s eyes widened. The soft sensation on her lips just now—was that her Little Lu Sister’s lips?
Shen Tian looked at Lu Ningwan in disbelief, her cheeks faintly flushed with shyness. She asked weakly, “Little Lu Sister?”
Lu Ningwan looked at her little puppy’s flustered expression with amusement and gently stroked the top of her head, asking softly, “Does Tiantian like it when I do that?”
Shen Tian fidgeted a few times before saying in a small voice, “Didn’t they say no dating too early?” Her ears turned bright red as she spoke. Even if she was slow, she knew kissing wasn’t something sisters or close friends did. That was something you did with a girlfriend. What did Little Lu Sister mean?
Lu Ningwan looked at her little puppy, who had curled up into a ball, and answered with a smile, “That’s right. But Tiantian’s an adult now. It’s not early love anymore.”
Shen Tian sneaked a glance at Lu Ningwan and the next moment found herself caught in a warm gaze she couldn’t tear herself away from.
Seeing Lu Ningwan slowly leaning closer, Shen Tian thought her Little Lu Sister was right—she was an adult now, so it wasn’t early love anymore. But she still felt a bit shy and closed her eyes.
Lu Ningwan looked at Shen Tian, who had closed her eyes to wait for the kiss, and found her little puppy adapting a bit too quickly.
But she didn’t care about that. Lu Ningwan leaned in and kissed Shen Tian again. Unlike the fleeting touch before, this time Lu Ningwan’s breath was a little unsteady. She had waited for this moment for too long, wanting to devour the little puppy who teased her every day. But afraid of scaring her, she could only guide her gently until Shen Tian was left breathless. Only then did Lu Ningwan ease up a little.
As soon as she was released, Shen Tian gulped in air. Her Little Lu Sister’s kiss had left her oxygen-deprived, but it felt so good she didn’t want to part from her at all.
Lu Ningwan looked at Shen Tian, her heartbeat quickening with every thump. She gently caressed Shen Tian’s cheek. “Tiantian, when you kiss, you can breathe through your nose. Don’t suffocate yourself.”
“Right, I forgot, Little Lu Sister,” Shen Tian said, blushing as she smiled at Lu Ningwan. She still felt a bit shy.
After giving her that advice, Lu Ningwan simply leaned down, pinned Shen Tian to the bed, and kissed her again.
Shen Tian felt enveloped by Lu Ningwan’s presence, kissed until she felt like she was floating on clouds, obediently letting Lu Ningwan hold her and kiss her. Thankfully, this time she remembered to breathe through her nose, or she would’ve passed out from lack of oxygen.
Lu Ningwan kissed her for a while before pulling back slightly. Her gaze deepened as she looked at Shen Tian, especially when she saw her little puppy’s slightly reddened lips from the kiss. The emotions she couldn’t suppress in her heart burst through the dam in an instant.
But afraid of startling her little puppy, Lu Ningwan only kissed Shen Tian’s lips and the corners of her mouth gently, whispering softly in her ear, “Tiantian, you can have as many kisses as you want from now on. But one thing—who am I to you now?” Lu Ningwan’s gaze darkened as she looked at Shen Tian.
Shen Tian pursed her lips, still tasting her Little Lu Sister on them. The way her Little Lu Sister looked at her was so intense it overwhelmed her. She could only answer obediently, “Girlfriend.”
Lu Ningwan ruffled the top of her little puppy’s head. “Good girl. Remember that from now on.”
“Okay,” Shen Tian replied, feeling a bit disappointed inside. Her Little Lu Sister was an omega, but she still hadn’t differentiated. Didn’t that mean she couldn’t smell her Little Lu Sister’s scent? “Little Lu Sister, but I can’t smell your scent~”
Lu Ningwan saw her little puppy’s disappointment and brushed her long hair to one side, exposing the gland at the back of her neck. She coaxed Shen Tian, “It’s okay if you can’t smell it. I bought the same scented diffuser. If Tiantian wants to smell it, I can light it up.”
“No need, Little Lu Sister. Can I smell you like this instead?” Shen Tian asked, looking at the gland on Lu Ningwan’s neck.
“Sure. You’re my girlfriend, after all. Come on,” Lu Ningwan said, lying across Shen Tian’s lap to make it easier for her to lean in.
Shen Tian held Lu Ningwan’s hair with one hand and leaned down to smell. Her warm breath brushed against the spot where Lu Ningwan’s gland was, making Lu Ningwan’s body tremble slightly. The gland was a very private and vulnerable spot for an omega, and Lu Ningwan was willing to bare it to Shen Tian.
Shen Tian sniffed a few times but still couldn’t smell anything. She asked anxiously, “Little Lu Sister, if I can never smell your scent, can I still be your girlfriend?”
Lu Ningwan gently poked her little puppy’s nose with a warm smile. “Of course you can. But Tiantian, back in kindergarten, you were the one who came after me first. So for the rest of your life, don’t even think about leaving me. You can only be my girlfriend.”
Hearing Lu Ningwan’s words, Shen Tian’s heart felt as sweet as if it were dipped in honey. “Then Little Lu Sister can only be my girlfriend too. I don’t want anyone else—just Little Lu Sister.”
