The Cold Goddess Always Wants to Turn Me Gay (GL) - Chapter 48: You're the Sweetest
Taking a deep breath, Wei Zhi gritted her teeth as she watched Yu Xin Xin sleep soundly. Gently, she adjusted Yu Xin Xin’s limbs, tucked her in, and closed her eyes again.
She had been plagued by nightmares all night, leaving her with a dull headache since morning. But now, enveloped in Yu Xin Xin’s sweet scent, her heart settled, and drowsiness soon overtook her.
Half-asleep, the comforting fragrance at her nose grew stronger, and a soft body wriggled into her arms. Delicate breaths brushed faintly against her neck and shoulders.
Like an electric shock, the tingling sensation shot straight to her brain, scattering the last traces of sleepiness.
Wei Zhi pressed a hand to her forehead and sighed in resignation. She strongly suspected Yu Xin Xin was doing this on purpose—was this little bunny getting back at her for last night?
Rolling onto her side, Wei Zhi gazed at Yu Xin Xin’s peaceful sleeping face. The movement seemed to disturb her dreams, as Yu Xin Xin frowned slightly and nuzzled deeper into Wei Zhi’s embrace, finding a more comfortable spot before settling again.
Wei Zhi’s lips curled unconsciously, her eyes brimming with affection. She playfully pinched Yu Xin Xin’s tiny nose, only to hear a soft whimper of protest. Abandoning her teasing, Wei Zhi gently wrapped an arm around her back. As Yu Xin Xin’s breathing steadied, Wei Zhi knew she had fallen soundly asleep.
Since she couldn’t sleep anyway now, that mischievous impulse from earlier came wandering back. She gazed at Yu Xinxin, unable to resist pinching her cheeks, then rubbing the delicate tip of her nose, before lovingly caressing the earlobes hidden among strands of hair. The tactile sensations from her fingertips made her linger, and slowly she became somewhat addicted.
Yu Xinxin, disturbed by her teasing, was on the verge of waking up. Wei Zhi immediately settled down, waiting until Yu Xinxin fell deeply asleep again before resuming her playful touches. Wei Zhi was in high spirits—even her headache was gone—as if she had discovered an amusing game, delighting in it endlessly.
Wei Zhi thought to herself: If I can’t sleep, neither will you.
She casually turned off the alarm and sent a message in the group chat, telling everyone to gather in the hotel lobby.
Yu Xinxin opened her eyes with a pout, sitting up from Wei Zhi’s embrace. By now, she was no longer surprised by their sleeping positions—every morning during the holiday had been like this. The first couple of days, she might have blushed helplessly, but later, her face grew thicker, and the blushing stopped. However… why did she feel like Wei Zhi was the one blushing now?
Uncomfortable under her gaze, Wei Zhi asked somewhat guiltily, “Did you sleep well?”
“No,” Yu Xinxin grumbled. “I kept feeling like someone was touching me in my dreams.”
Wei Zhi’s face reddened further. Her eyes darted around the room before finally settling on her phone. “The group sent a message telling us to meet in the lobby.”
“Oh.” Yu Xinxin didn’t miss the flicker of panic in Wei Zhi’s eyes and asked suspiciously, “Why are you blushing?”
“P-probably because it’s too hot,” Wei Zhi added hastily. “Yeah, that’s it. Especially since I was holding you.”
Yu Xinxin nodded in understanding. “Then don’t hold me at night. The bed’s big enough—I can just sleep further in.”
Wei Zhi protested urgently, “No need! I get cold easily.”
Yu Xinxin: “???”
Who was the one who just said it was hot?
After getting ready, they took the elevator down to the lobby, where quite a few people had already gathered. Yu Xinxin scanned the crowd until her eyes met Zhou Tong’s searching gaze. Zhou Tong’s face lit up, and she hurried over.
“Do you know who I just saw?” Zhou Tong asked, her expression full of gossip, and she even shot Wei Zhi a meaningful glance.
Wei Zhi: “?”
“Who did you see?” Yu Xinxin’s interest was piqued.
“Guess?” Zhou Tong was clearly determined to drag out the suspense.
Yu Xinxin wasn’t about to indulge her. She withdrew her curious gaze, tugged Wei Zhi’s arm, and said, “Fine, don’t tell us,” then turned to Wei Zhi. “Let’s go sit over there and wait.”
Wei Zhi rubbed Yu Xinxin’s soft, delicate hand, reminded of her earlier game, and the corners of her eyes crinkled. “Sure.”
“Wait!” Seeing that the two weren’t playing along, Zhou Tong panicked and quickly followed. “Fine, I’ll tell you!”
Yu Xin Xin stopped and waited for the other person to speak first.
Zhou Tong looked at Yu Xin Xin with a resentful expression. “Xin Xin, you don’t love me anymore.”
Wei Zhi raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, “Xin Xin, let’s just go.”
“Hey, hey! Fine, whatever—you’ll see soon enough anyway.” Zhou Tong grabbed both of them and whispered, “I saw Pan Yue.”
“What’s he doing here?” Yu Xin Xin frowned.
Zhou Tong explained, “Didn’t we hear before that he was messing around with another girl from our department? The one from our class, Meng Jia Jia.” She pointed toward a girl in the crowd.
Yu Xin Xin followed her gaze and indeed saw a familiar figure standing next to Meng Jia Jia. The man had an arm around her waist while his other hand wandered restlessly over her body. The two were whispering intimately into each other’s ears.
“Ugh! So gross,” Zhou Tong said. “I had the misfortune of sharing a cable car with them earlier—almost made me sick.”
Yu Xin Xin averted her eyes and glanced at Wei Zhi. “Ignore them.”
The three of them walked over to a sofa in the corner of the lobby and sat down. Zhou Tong kept rambling, “I used to think Meng Jia Jia was a decent person. How could she end up with someone like that?” Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, her previously disgusted expression brightened dramatically. “Oh, by the way, when I got here this morning, I saw a stunning beauty.” She looked toward the entrance. “Right there, at the lobby doors.”
Seeing her excitement, Yu Xin Xin grew curious. “How pretty? Compared to Wei Zhi?” Who didn’t love a gorgeous older sister? Especially someone like Yu Xin Xin, who was a sucker for good looks.
Wei Zhi shot Yu Xin Xin a glance, her eyes conveying a silent warning toward Zhou Tong.
Oblivious in her admiration, Zhou Tong pondered the question seriously, her expression conflicted before finally concluding, “They’re not the same type, but both are beautiful. Still, I prefer the woman I saw earlier. When I accidentally bumped into her, she wasn’t angry at all—unlike Wei Zhi, who’s always so cold.”
Earlier that morning, while chatting with two classmates, Zhou Tong had carelessly bumped into someone while entering the lobby, nearly knocking them over. Luckily, she reacted quickly and steadied the person. Expecting a scolding, she had looked up—only to be stunned by the woman’s breathtaking beauty, unable to tear her eyes away. Instead of getting angry, the woman had simply smiled gently, reminding her to be more careful, before answering a call and walking off, leaving Zhou Tong staring longingly after her.
Yu Xin Xin found her reaction odd. “You’re not crushing on her, are you?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Zhou Tong’s face flushed. “Everyone appreciates beauty—I’m just admiring her.”
Yu Xin Xin laughed, rubbing her stiff cheeks from smiling too much. She had never seen Zhou Tong—whose face was usually as thick as a city wall—blush like this before. “Who was it that said pure love between girls is the most beautiful thing? Why are you getting shy now?”
Zhou Tong sighed, deflated like a punctured balloon. “I’ll probably never see her again.”
It made sense. The woman was probably just here on vacation. Today was a chance encounter, but tomorrow, she could be anywhere in the world.
Seeing Zhou Tong’s troubled expression, Yu Xin Xin couldn’t bring herself to tease her further and comforted her instead: “Don’t you still have your male idol? Why obsess over a woman you’ve only met once? Isn’t your handsome male idol appealing enough?”
Sure enough, Zhou Tong visibly perked up. Without another word to Yu Xin Xin, she picked up her phone and started scrolling through her male idol’s Weibo.
“Handsome male idol? That appealing?” Wei Zhi leaned in close, speaking through gritted teeth near her ear.
Since when did Yu Xin Xin become obsessed with some male idol?
Wei Zhi’s voice carried a cold edge with a dangerous undertone, making Yu Xin Xin feel like she’d been plunged into an ice cellar. How could she have forgotten about the jealous person beside her?
Remembering how this person would start kissing her indiscriminately whenever displeased, Yu Xin Xin decided it was better to play meek in time. Thus, with shameless flattery, she said: “Don’t worry, in my eyes, you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, and you’re the most appealing too.Yu Xin Xin internally complains: …Well, Wei Zhi was indeed the best-looking person she’d ever met, and always smelled nice too. That statement wasn’t wrong.
