The True Record of a Flirty Omega's Failed Balancing Act - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

◎”What about you?” Xu Guiyi asked.◎

“What did I just say?”

Xu Guiyi didn’t directly refuse. While drying her hair, she walked to the head of the bed and asked.

But Ning Chanyue, who was also sitting on the edge of the bed, wrapped her arms around her waist. Her body leaned forward slightly, and her chin rested on Xu Guiyi’s shoulder. She blinked her eyes and spoke, twisting the facts. “You just said, ‘Let me sleep with you.'”

As she spoke, her slender eyelashes lightly brushed against Xu Guiyi’s neck, once, twice, tickling Xu Guiyi, but also making her look back.

Perhaps seeing her look back, Ning Chanyue smiled at her. Then, she tilted her head slightly and kissed Xu Guiyi on the jawline.

It wasn’t a fleeting kiss. She was sucking and nibbling, as if she wanted to leave a deep red mark that belonged to her.

But after only a few seconds, Xu Guiyi pushed her away.

Ning Chanyue laughed. Her fingertips touched the mark left on her jaw. She looked at Xu Guiyi with raised eyebrows and said, “It’s red.”

Xu Guiyi touched the spot and said, “It’ll be gone in a moment.”

But Ning Chanyue still stared at the spot intently, as if she cherished it. She kept caressing it with her fingertip and then said, “It’s red, just like it’s red after being marked. So, I marked you, Guiyi.”

After saying that, Ning Chanyue fell straight back onto the bed. The old wooden bed shook twice, making a creaking sound.

Ning Chanyue covered her head with the light green blanket.

“An Alpha marked by an Omega can’t leave the Omega, so let me sleep with you, Guiyi.”

The voice from inside the blanket was a little muffled but still had a hint of a smile.

Xu Guiyi sighed. She bent down and pulled Ning Chanyue’s face out of the blanket. She pinched her face and said helplessly, “You.”

“Me,” Ning Chanyue closed her eyes, patted the bed board next to her, and said, “Lie down with me. It’s been a long time since you’ve lain down with me.”

When Xu Guiyi heard that, she didn’t lie down. But she was very close to her, so close that she could even feel her body temperature.

But Ning Chanyue took a deep breath, shook her head, and suddenly said, “Something’s not right.”

“What’s not right?”

“The scent is not right. It’s all the scent of body wash. It seems… it’s been a long time since I’ve smelled your pheromones.”

“What are you trying to do?” As soon as Ning Chanyue finished speaking, Xu Guiyi put her finger lightly on Ning Chanyue’s lips and said, “Your heat isn’t over?”

That’s right, why did it end so quickly?

“But can’t I smell your pheromones just because it’s over?”

Ning Chanyue’s voice was empty, with a hint of melancholy. Then, she hooked a strand of Xu Guiyi’s hair that was scattered on her shoulder and twirled the hair around her finger.

The not-yet-dry hair wet her fingertips.

After a while, she slightly opened her eyes, looked at the strand of hair, and said, “Your hair is wet.”

“Yeah, so?” Xu Guiyi held her wrist and asked, following her words.

“The rain outside is also wet.”

Perhaps to match Ning Chanyue’s words, there was a sudden rumbling of thunder outside.

Ning Chanyue took Xu Guiyi’s hand and reached down. Through the blanket, she placed Xu Guiyi’s palm on her lower abdomen.

“I want it to be wet here too.”

After saying that, Ning Chanyue’s eyes moved, and she looked at Xu Guiyi.

“Mark me again, Guiyi.”

Through the blanket, Ning Chanyue pressed her hand down. Xu Guiyi could feel the rise and fall of her breathing.

It was like a silent invitation.

But Xu Guiyi pulled her hand away.

Ning Chanyue reached out to grab it.

But her hand reached under the blanket in front of Ning Chanyue’s neck, touching her undulating curves, her flat abdomen, and then…

Ning Chanyue’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Ouch!”

But it took a turn and pinched Ning Chanyue’s lower back.

Ning Chanyue kicked her legs a few times and quickly dodged backward, jumping to the other side of the bed. The blanket she hadn’t held onto was also kicked to the floor.

Bang!

“Hiss…”

Perhaps she used too much force, Ning Chanyue sat up straight, covering the back of her head that had hit the wall.

“Let me see.”

Seeing Ning Chanyue in pain, Xu Guiyi’s expression tightened. She bent down to help Ning Chanyue pick up the blanket that had slid off the bed. Then, she got on the bed and took a few steps forward, sitting down next to Ning Chanyue.

She turned Ning Chanyue’s head toward her and accurately lightly caressed the part that had just hit the wall. She asked, “Is it here?”

“How did you know?” Ning Chanyue tilted her head slightly.

“It’s a little swollen. I’ll get something to put on it for you.”

After saying that, Xu Guiyi got out of bed and opened the door. When she pushed the door open again, she had a cooling patch in her hand and walked back to Ning Chanyue.

“It’s a cooling patch that I bought when my sister had a fever. There’s no ice at home, so I can’t use a cold compress. Can this work instead?” Xu Guiyi shook the cooling patch in front of Ning Chanyue and added, “But after you put it on, you can’t be rolling around on the bed like you were just now, or it’ll fall off.”

Ning Chanyue didn’t say anything. She just pouted and let out a humph.

“Alright.”

Ning Chanyue’s appearance made Xu Guiyi unable to stop the corners of her lips from curling. Then, she tore open the cooling patch and put it on the back of her head.

…

But Ning Chanyue quickly discovered that she couldn’t be as reckless as she was just now. In fact… she could only lie on her side on the pillow, otherwise, she would be pressing on the swollen bump.

So Ning Chanyue leaned on the pillow. She touched the bump and frowned, saying, “How annoying.”

Xu Guiyi was sitting against the head of the bed with a laptop, with a Word document open, looking at something Ning Chanyue didn’t understand. After hearing what Ning Chanyue said, she glanced at Ning Chanyue, took her finger off the touchpad, and made a circle with it, and flicked her with a laugh.

“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?” Ning Chanyue quickly covered the back of her head with one hand and her forehead with the other. She quickly dodged backward. After retreating to a safe area, she pouted and said, “Can you take care of a patient?”

But Xu Guiyi laughed. “You only become well-behaved when you’re hurt. Otherwise, you’d be pestering me for something again.”

But when Ning Chanyue heard that, she rolled her eyes and moved a little closer to Xu Guiyi. She leaned her head on Xu Guiyi’s lower abdomen and, imitating Xu Guiyi, pinched her. Seeing Xu Guiyi dodge backward, she smiled triumphantly and said, “I won’t be well-behaved even when I’m hurt.”

Ning Chanyue’s round eyes stared straight at her. Xu Guiyi sighed helplessly. She lowered her head and ruffled Ning Chanyue’s already messy hair.

Xu Guiyi continued to write and draw on the Word document. Ning Chanyue glanced at it and then looked away. She turned back to look at Xu Guiyi, feeling the continuous warmth coming from Xu Guiyi’s abdomen.

She didn’t know how much time had passed. The two of them were still lying there in a daze. The spring rain outside seemed to have gotten a little lighter and was falling gently. Suddenly, Ning Chanyue looked up and said without a warning, “Spring is too short.”

As she spoke, Ning Chanyue’s hand slowly moved down and placed it on her abdomen.

That’s right, the spring scenery passes by quickly, and the spring tides are too brief.

“Why are you suddenly so sad about spring?” Xu Guiyi asked.

Ning Chanyue looked up. She reached out and lightly brushed her fingertips against Xu Guiyi’s cheek and said, “I miss this spring, and I want to go back to our summer.”

Xu Guiyi held Ning Chanyue’s hand that was on her cheek. She lowered her head and said, “I think it’s better to hold on to the last bit of spring.”

She leaned down, and her warm breath fell on Ning Chanyue’s face.

“How do I hold on?”

“For example, the weather isn’t hot now, so we can still go out and walk around…”

“Yeah,” perhaps inspired by Xu Guiyi’s words, Ning Chanyue’s eyes lit up. She interrupted Xu Guiyi, arched her head up a little, and said, “Then on your birthday, let’s take my sister and go play in the mountains. The mountains should be green at this time, and it’s still the off-season, so there shouldn’t be many people there.”

After saying that, Ning Chanyue tightened her grip on Xu Guiyi’s hand. She closed her eyes, with a smile still on her lips, as if she was imagining, imagining that she and Xu Guiyi were already holding hands and had reached the top of the mountain. The breeze was gentle in front of the lake at the top of the mountain, and the birds were chirping, and flowers were fragrant.

But Xu Guiyi’s hand that was holding Ning Chanyue’s stiffened.

After a while, Ning Chanyue opened her eyes again. She looked at Xu Guiyi with her dark brown eyes and said, “Let’s go to Weijinshan. We always said we’d go after we graduated from college, but we never made it… Okay?”

Seeing Xu Guiyi nod, Ning Chanyue also smiled.

“That’s great.”

She mumbled. She didn’t know if she was sighing at this rare moment of tenderness or if she was about to fulfill the wish she had a few years ago.

The two of them held hands like that and talked idly, just like they did on every night they had experienced before. After a while, Xu Guiyi seemed to have finished her work. She put down her laptop and patted the pillow next to her, gesturing for Ning Chanyue to lie down there.

Immediately after, Xu Guiyi also turned off the light and lay down. The room instantly went dark, and Xu Guiyi also became a dark shadow.

“Are you going to sleep?”

In the darkness, Ning Chanyue asked with her eyes open.

“It’s twelve o’clock.”

Xu Guiyi pulled up the blanket and also pulled up Ning Chanyue’s blanket that had slid down to her waist.

“But we didn’t do it today,” Ning Chanyue said with a hint of disappointment.

Xu Guiyi chuckled. She caressed her cheek with her palm. “When did you become so direct?”

“That’s right, if I wasn’t direct, would I even get to see you?”

As if that wasn’t enough, Ning Chanyue suddenly sat up. She put her hands on the pillow, looked at Xu Guiyi, and said, “Since we didn’t do it, can you kiss me?”

Ning Chanyue winked at Xu Guiyi. Immediately after, a comfortable, non-sexual kiss quickly landed on Ning Chanyue’s lips.

But just as Xu Guiyi’s head was about to lower, Ning Chanyue wrapped her arms around her.

“Don’t go.”

She said.

Then, she pressed her lips against Xu Guiyi’s again and gently pried open Xu Guiyi’s lips. Their tongues intertwined and lingered.

Xu Guiyi was stunned for a moment. She neither pushed her away nor deliberately gave in.

It wasn’t until Ning Chanyue was about to run out of breath that she reluctantly let go of Xu Guiyi. She contentedly touched her wet lips and said, “This is more like it.”

Then, she lay down and also held Xu Guiyi’s hand.

Their fingers intertwined. Ning Chanyue yawned, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Only then did Xu Guiyi turn her head to look at Ning Chanyue. A longing that Ning Chanyue had never seen before flowed in her eyes.

After a while, Ning Chanyue suddenly opened her eyes. As if she didn’t want Ning Chanyue to notice, Xu Guiyi’s eyes darted away and turned to the wall behind her.

She saw Ning Chanyue pat her and say, “Guiyi, have you only kissed like this with me before?”

Xu Guiyi paused, but still nodded.

“Then have you only hugged me?”

She nodded again.

Ning Chanyue smiled. She moved a little closer to Xu Guiyi and said, “Then… have you only done it with me?”

Seeing Xu Guiyi nod again, the curve of Ning Chanyue’s lips unconsciously rose a little more.

Then, she rubbed against Xu Guiyi’s shoulder, wrapped her arms around her waist, and closed her eyes again.

Xu Guiyi lay flat, feeling Ning Chanyue’s body temperature so close to her. She didn’t know how much time had passed. It could have been ten minutes or half an hour. Xu Guiyi’s eyes were still open, and she was breathing with restraint.

After a while, a voice that was almost inaudible came from the air again. “What about you?”

No one responded.

Xu Guiyi lowered her eyebrows, only to see that Ning Chanyue had already closed her eyes and was fast asleep.

The fine rain continued outside.
