Why Suffer for This Distress (GL) - Chapter 28

“Did you secretly drool while I was sleeping last night? Don’t be shy, tell me.” Su Xiyan looked at He Jingmo with a mischievous smile, pressing her body against He Jingmo like an octopus. Her eyes shone brightly, staring at He Jingmo as if she had spotted prey. He Jingmo didn’t speak. Her nose was filled with Su Xiyan’s familiar scent, which made her feel slightly overwhelmed. She bit her lip, still trying to push Su Xiyan away, wanting to escape the overwhelming ambiguous atmosphere.

Su Xiyan giggled and refused to let go until she noticed He Jingmo’s thoroughly flushed cheeks and shy eyes. Only then did she realize how suggestive their current position was. Her face flushed red, and she stared blankly at the person struggling beneath her.

He Jingmo, pressed beneath her, looked exceptionally vulnerable at this moment—her cheeks crimson, her long hair messy, her fair neck exposed from their roughhousing, and most notably, that suppressed, moist gaze… a perfect little white rabbit.

Su Xiyan felt a rush of warmth gather in her lower abdomen. Boom! Her mind exploded into a dazzling array of thoughts.

“Su Xiyan…” He Jingmo saw the look in Su Xiyan’s eyes was off and called her name softly. He Jingmo was flustered by their current position. She wanted to push her away but couldn’t, and her hand kept accidentally touching the softness of Su Xiyan’s chest, which embarrassed her immensely.

Su Xiyan stared at her intently. Because of the tingling sensation in her lower abdomen, she instinctively tightened her legs, wrapping them around He Jingmo’s legs, and let out an unconscious moan. What a strange and wonderful feeling…

“You—”

He Jingmo was completely panicked by the seductive movement and sound. She put more force into pushing Su Xiyan’s arms away. Does this person even know what she’s doing? How can she be so shameless and vulgar?

“Let go of me!”

Su Xiyan ignored He Jingmo’s struggle, staring unblinkingly at her lips. So thin. Why are her lips so much pinker than mine, even though we are both human? I wonder what they taste like? Will they be different too? Su Xiyan was never one to deny herself. Thinking this, she leaned forward, aiming for those red lips and kissing them. Seeing the face suddenly magnified before her, He Jingmo was horrified and kept moving her body backward. Su Xiyan missed the kiss. She frowned in frustration, reached out, and pressed the back of He Jingmo’s head, stopping her from moving.

The moment their lips touched, Su Xiyan felt like she was floating. Her face was full of intoxication. The sensation was so incredibly comfortable and tenderly smooth, completely different from licking her own lips. She extended her tongue, wanting to taste her lips. Unexpectedly, He Jingmo beat her to it, opened her mouth, and unceremoniously bit down.

“Mm—Ow—”

Su Xiyan struggled and waved her arms. Now it was He Jingmo’s turn to counterattack. She imitated Su Xiyan’s earlier dominance, using her hand to fix the back of Su Xiyan’s head so she couldn’t struggle. Her teeth mercilessly bit the impudent lips that had pressed against hers until the taste of bl00d filled her mouth. Only then did He Jingmo release her mouth and let go of Su Xiyan.

Su Xiyan sprang up from the floor, covering her mouth, looking at her tearfully. “Jingmo, how could you bite me so hard? It hurts so much!”

She wiped the back of her hand and gasped at the obvious bloodstain left there. “Oh my god, I’m going to have a pig’s snout mouth at work tomorrow! What am I going to tell people? Jingmo, you’re too cruel! I just touched you, and you bit me like this?” He Jingmo glared at her. “Serves you right! Tell me, who did you learn all this from? Why don’t you ever learn anything good? You’ve even learned to use force on people?! It’s a good thing I didn’t bite you to death!”

“This is a natural instinct, okay? Why are you so heartless that you want to deprive people of their primal reactions?”

“Shameless!”

Su Xiyan rubbed her mouth, looking wronged. “I watched it. The female leads in TV dramas and novels all want to be treated aggressively. Why are you so out of step? I was just doing a good deed, trying to let you experience the happiness of a heroine in a teen idol drama. Not only are you ungrateful, but you bit me until my lips look like sausages.”

“I’m out of step? A heroine in a teen idol drama?” He Jingmo laughed out of anger. Does this person always have some twisted logic to explain everything?

“Yeah, exactly.” Su Xiyan wiped her mouth and nodded. If she were in step, she would have cooperated with me for a beautiful first kiss instead of making it all bloody. Sigh, the old guys at Angran will surely mock me tomorrow.

He Jingmo frowned, looking at her. “Do you mean all female protagonists should like being masochistic?”

“…”

He Jingmo’s direct words made Su Xiyan so shy she almost covered her face. She tried to bite her lip to feign vulnerability, but she accidentally bit her wound and her face twisted in pain.

“Fine. I’ll let you be the heroine for once and experience the pleasure of being forced.” He Jingmo accepted the challenge, nodding. She looked into Su Xiyan’s eyes, walked up to her, grabbed her wrist, flipped her over, and pinned her down on the sofa.

“Ouch!”

Su Xiyan screamed. “Help me!!!”

“Go ahead and scream! The more you scream, the happier I am!” He Jingmo smiled wickedly, interested in playing along with Su Xiyan. Su Xiyan wanted to cry but had no tears. She turned her head and looked at her. “King Dai, please have mercy on me.”

“You ask for mercy and I should grant it? Then what kind of King Dai would I be?” He Jingmo raised an eyebrow, lifted her right leg, pressed it onto Su Xiyan’s two arms, and used her free hand to grip her chin, looking completely like a female overlord. He Jingmo initially thought Su Xiyan would beg for mercy on her knees, but Su Xiyan was mesmerized by He Jingmo’s series of handsome moves. She stared at He Jingmo unblinkingly, her face full of adoration. “Jingmo, you’re so cool! Hurry up and proceed to the next step. I can’t wait.”

“…”

He Jingmo looked at her helplessly. “Student Su Xiyan, do you have any shame?”

Su Xiyan giggled flirtatiously, tossed He Jingmo a seductive glance, and chuckled, “King Dai, if you want your servant, what does shame matter?”

Her voice was utterly suggestive, and her expression was mesmerizing. He Jingmo looked at Su Xiyan, at the sparkling light in her eyes, and her heart began to beat wildly. Why does this person get aroused anytime, anywhere? She abruptly stood up. He Jingmo almost fled into the bedroom, slamming the door shut. She angrily threw herself onto the big bed. Outside, Su Xiyan’s loud laughter could be heard.

“Sigh, having too much charm can sometimes be a burden. King He Dai, don’t covet my beauty too much! I’m not some casual person, you know! Hmph!”

“…”

He Jingmo lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to extinguish the fire in her heart. Provoked again by Su Xiyan’s words just now, her mind was filled with the image of her seductive smile, her crystal-clear earlobe, and her lovely chin…

“Jingmo, Jingmo!”

Just as she was thinking, the door was knocked loudly. He Jingmo frowned. “What do you want?” Why can’t she let me be quiet for a while? Did she eat rat poison or something today? Is she back from the dead?!

“It’s time to take a bath.”

Su Xiyan’s cheerful voice rang out. A surge of anger flared in He Jingmo’s heart. “Are you never going to stop?”

“I really drew a bath for you…” Su Xiyan’s voice was full of grievance. She was just messing with He Jingmo because she had free time today. Why is she reacting so strongly? We used to mess around in college, and she didn’t react this violently back then. However, He Jingmo’s situation was different. After enduring and holding back for so long, her body and heart were now like a bundle of dry tinder. Any spark thrown in by Su Xiyan could ignite a blaze. How could she not be angry at such repeated provocation?

Finally, unable to withstand Su Xiyan’s persistence, He Jingmo opened the door with a gloomy face. She looked at Su Xiyan with a frown, showing impatience. Su Xiyan didn’t care whether she was happy or not. She grabbed her hand and enthusiastically walked towards the bathroom. He Jingmo let her lead her, her expression still reluctant. She opened the door and entered the bathroom. Her eyes were clouded by the mist, and He Jingmo looked at the scene before her in surprise.

The white bathtub was covered with floating rose petals. Clear water accompanied by the pink petals, and a faint fragrance lingered in the air. Coupled with the steam in the room, it felt like a fairyland.

“How is it?” Su Xiyan looked at He Jingmo proudly. She’s so smart! Not only did she solve the love rival problem instantly, but she also turned the disadvantage into an advantage. Alas, only someone with my intelligence could come up with such a solution.

He Jingmo felt a warmth in her heart from the scent of roses. She walked forward, bent slightly, scooped up a handful of water, and looked at He Jingmo with a smile. “Jingmo, I’m very happy.”

“Hehe, I’m glad you like it…”

Su Xiyan, who was about to boast, was captivated by the beautiful scene before her, especially He Jingmo’s semi-crouching posture, which revealed a large expanse of her fair skin at her chest. She stared intently, her heart fluttering rapidly. He Jingmo found her fixed gaze strange. Following her line of sight, she looked down—her face darkened.

“Su Xiyan!”

Su Xiyan darted out of the bathroom with a “whoosh,” laughing a few times as she ran away. Inside the bathroom, He Jingmo shook her head helplessly. She stood up, pulled all the shower curtains shut, and double-locked the door. Only then did she relax and take her bath.

Why… why do I feel like I’m guarding against a wolf?

He Jingmo didn’t expect that the wolf would already be waiting outside the door after she had just finished her comfortable bath. Seeing He Jingmo come out in her pajamas, Su Xiyan immediately ran over like a sycophant, smiling ingratiatingly. “Jingmo, Jingmo, let me give you a massage.”

“You?”

He Jingmo looked at her contemptuously, her face full of scorn, not giving her any face at all. “You can give a massage? Back in college during the lab class, you insisted on giving that rabbit a massage, and you ended up pressing it to death. Thank you very much, but I’d like to live a few more years.”

“Oh, that was because I was too young back then, and my hands hadn’t fully developed yet.” With that, Su Xiyan raised her pale, slender hands in an utterly lewd manner and smiled proudly at her. “See? How delicate and nimble they are. Jingmo, don’t you want to experience it?”

He Jingmo’s face flushed. She bit her lip, looking at her, and said word by word, “Su—Xi—Yan!”
