You Should Have Told Me You Don't Like Sweet Girls - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Shi Xueqian trembled uncontrollably. She looked up at Su Yu, whose eyes seemed completely sincere, without a hint of pretense. She turned her gaze away and said slowly, “It’s nothing. I just think you bought too much, and it makes me feel like what I’m getting is not equal to what I’m giving.”

Su Yu let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “Oh, senior, you’re giving me too much credit. Do you know how much a tutor for a minor language costs now?” She held up one hand exaggeratedly. “500 yuan an hour! See, I’m getting a pretty good deal from you. No, senior, I’ll pay you an hourly tutoring fee.”

As she spoke, she reached for her phone to transfer the money.

Shi Xueqian put a hand on hers, stopping her. “If we’re going to do that, you should just find a professional tutor.”

“Then… I’ll bring you food, and you’ll tutor me. That way, we’ll be even, okay?” Su Yu pulled one hand away and lightly scratched the back of Shi Xueqian’s hand. “I promise I won’t order this much next time, okay? Senior?”

Even?

Shi Xueqian looked down at their hands. She pulled her hand away and gave a slight nod.

Su Yu leaned in and stared at her. “You nodded, senior. You agreed, right?”

“Mhm.”

Su Yu held out her pinky. “Then let’s pinky swear. The person who breaks the promise will become… what’s your favorite animal, senior?”

Shi Xueqian: “No. None.”

“Hmph, I know even if you don’t tell me. It’s a butterfly, isn’t it?”

Shi Xueqian’s phone case, pen, notebook cover… all had butterflies on them. She had noticed long ago. If she didn’t genuinely like them, she wouldn’t have so many related items.

Shi Xueqian didn’t deny or confirm it.

“So… the person who breaks the promise will become a butterfly in the other person’s cocoon! Come on! Senior, let’s pinky swear.”

Shi Xueqian picked up her chopsticks. “Childish. No.”

Su Yu: “Senior~”

Shi Xueqian pretended not to hear her and said, “Let’s eat. I’m hungry.”

Seeing that she wasn’t willing, Su Yu gave up.

As expected, at least two-thirds of the food was left over after they finished eating.

Su Yu reached out and poked Shi Xueqian’s slightly furrowed brow. “Don’t worry, senior. None of this will go to waste. I’ll have someone take it to an animal shelter.”

With that, she stood up and began to pack up the leftovers.

Shi Xueqian tried to help, but Su Yu stopped her and pushed her back onto the beanbag chair. “Just leave it to me. Some of it needs to be sorted, which is a bit complicated. It’ll be faster if I do it myself. Trust me.”

She looked confident.

“Senior, just sit here and read a book, or rest.”

The afternoon sun was slightly slanted, shining directly on Shi Xueqian. It was a little hot on her skin. Normally, she would have gotten up to pull the curtains and block all the light.

But at this moment, she watched Su Yu’s focused profile and didn’t move.

Thud—

The muffled sound of a heavy textbook hitting the wooden floor.

Shi Xueqian snapped back to her senses, put on her earphones, and took out a German listening practice book to distract herself.

A shadow suddenly fell over her. She looked up and saw Su Yu standing in front of the window, blocking the sunlight.

“Senior, it’s not good for your eyes to read in direct sunlight.”

Swish. The curtain was pulled shut, leaving only a tiny crack that let in a single ray of light. The study room instantly became dimmer.

But Shi Xueqian felt that the room was actually brighter than before.

Before she could react, a sweet and lovely face suddenly appeared in front of her, magnified. Su Yu was squatting in front of her with smiling eyes. “Senior, do you like cats or dogs?”

“Why are you asking that?”

Su Yu: “Just answer me first, senior.”

Shi Xueqian stared at the face in front of her. “I like dogs more.”

Su Yu sighed. “That’s a shame.”

“I wish I could transform. I’d turn into a puppy and, on a beautiful afternoon like this, be held on your lap and take a nap. That would be the happiest thing in the world.”

Shi Xueqian glanced at her legs, which were pressed together, then looked at Su Yu. “How much do you weigh?”

Su Yu looked back at her expectantly without blinking. “If you let me sit on your lap, you’ll know, won’t you?”

Shi Xueqian stood up, offering the couch to her. “Then have a seat.”

Huh?

Su Yu froze for a second, then quickly pressed down on the shoulders of the person who was getting up, making Shi Xueqian sit back down.

“Ah? Hey—”

“Mm-hmm—”

Su Yu fell right into Shi Xueqian’s lap. Her soft body was perfectly nestled against Shi Xueqian’s, who let out a muffled groan.

Shi Xueqian slightly frowned. “You’re… crushing me. Get up.”

A pitiful voice came from her ear. “Senior, my foot’s asleep. I can’t get up~”

“And I hit my knee. It hurts.”

The warm breath tickled her ear, making her feel itchy and numb. Shi Xueqian tilted her head. Her nose was filled with a scent that was sweet with a hint of freshness, a scent that was uniquely Su Yu’s.

Her external appearance had changed, but her scent hadn’t at all.

She took a deep breath. She lowered her eyes and looked at the fair skin that was so close to her. Her eyes were deep, and her voice was calm. “Then how long will you be?”

“I don’t know, senior. Am I really heavy?” Su Yu’s voice was perfectly confused. She paused, then said, being reasonable, “Why don’t you just push me off, senior? It might hurt a little when I fall to the ground, but it’s okay. I’m not afraid of pain. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. Just push me away.”

Shi Xueqian was silent for a moment, then said considerately, “Then get up when you can.”

Su Yu slowly curled her lips into a smile. She rubbed her head against Shi Xueqian’s neck. “You’re so good, senior. The best~”

Shi Xueqian pressed down on her waist, her voice slightly trembling. “Don’t move around.”

“Okay, I’ll be good.”

She really didn’t move. She tilted her head slightly, looking at the neck so close to her. The skin was delicate and fair. Su Yu licked her canine tooth with the tip of her tongue. I want to bite her.

“Hiss…” Su Yu hissed, taking a sharp breath.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Xueqian heard the sound from her ear and asked, “Does your knee hurt a lot?”

“I’m fine,” Su Yu said calmly.

In reality, to keep herself in check, she had bitten the tip of her own tongue. She had only meant to bite it lightly, but she had bitten too hard by accident.

“Mhm.”

Shi Xueqian put on her earphones and listened to the German. She focused on listening and analyzing the content to distract herself from the presence she couldn’t ignore.

When the fifteen-minute listening exercise ended, Shi Xueqian took off one earphone. “Are you done yet?”

No response.

Shi Xueqian turned her head and saw that Su Yu was now lying on her side on the couch. Her fair, long legs were stretched out, and her entire upper body was resting on Shi Xueqian. Her hand was naturally placed on Shi Xueqian’s waist, and her eyes were closed, as if she were asleep.

The cicadas chirped outside the window, and the sunlight from the gap in the curtains fell directly on Su Yu’s lips.

Her lips were shaped like petals, and her philtrum was full, like a ripe fruit waiting to be picked.

Shi Xueqian’s throat bobbed. She softly called out, “Su Yu, are you asleep?”

Still no response.

She slowly lowered her head…

“You’re really asleep, aren’t you?”

Feeling the even breaths so close to her, Shi Xueqian felt a hint of hesitation.

Even if she wouldn’t be found out, she shouldn’t do this…

But she really wanted to know.

What kind of sensory stimulation would a physical connection with Su Yu bring?

She really wanted to know…

When her lips touched Su Yu’s beautiful ones, Shi Xueqian felt as if a current was running through her entire body. Her bl00d boiled, her mind went blank, and her whole body felt numb…

The feeling was even better than she had imagined.

She wanted more…

Like a cat, she licked the tip of her tongue over the philtrum, gently prying the lips apart.

The pretending-to-be-asleep Su Yu: !!!

She suppressed the urge to sit up and deepen the kiss. Su Yu let out a small hum and adjusted her sleeping position—she tilted her head up slightly and parted her lips slightly to make it easier for Shi Xueqian to kiss her.

Shi Xueqian was startled by her movement. She lifted her head. Her amber eyes were misty, and she was breathing a little fast. Her full lips were moist. Her sanity slowly, slowly returned.

Is she not going to kiss me anymore?

Su Yu wanted to open her eyes, but she could still feel Shi Xueqian’s gaze on her face.

If she looks a little longer, she’ll continue to kiss me, right?

But even after the bell rang outside the window, she still hadn’t felt Shi Xueqian’s soft lips again.

“Su Yu, wake up.”

Her shoulder was gently pushed. Su Yu pretended to slowly wake up. “Hmm? Senior? What’s wrong?”

“You fell asleep,” Shi Xueqian said, her voice calm. She stood up first and sat at the desk. “Lunch break is over. Don’t you have a class in the first period?”

Su Yu stared at her flushed, moist earlobe. She licked her upper lip with the tip of her tongue, stood up, and touched the corner of her mouth. She asked, confused, “Why are my lips so wet? Did I drool in my sleep? Senior, did I get it on your clothes?”

As she spoke, she walked to the seat opposite Shi Xueqian and sat down, her eyes bright. “Your lips are wet, too, senior. Is it…”

“I was sitting in the sun, and my mouth was a little dry, so I licked my lips,” Shi Xueqian quickly explained.

The flush on her earlobes deepened.

“Is that so?” Su Yu leaned in slightly. “Why do you look so nervous, senior?”

“You should go to class.” Shi Xueqian looked up, meeting her gaze, not showing any signs of panic.

As the second daughter of Cloud City’s wealthiest family, Su Yu had met all kinds of people. But she had to admit, when it came to emotional control, Shi Xueqian was definitely one of the best. She could even adjust her emotions in an instant.

If she doesn’t want to talk about it now, then so be it.

One day, she would make Shi Xueqian say all of her desires for her out loud.

“Okay,” Su Yu said, standing up and picking up her backpack. “I’m going to class now.”

It wasn’t until the door closed that Shi Xueqian finally let out a sigh of relief. She raised a hand and touched her lips.

They still seemed to have Su Yu’s warmth on them.

Realizing what she was thinking, Shi Xueqian bit down hard on her lower lip. The pain was more powerful than the lingering sensation from Su Yu, and it brought her back to her senses completely.

Su Yu didn’t have a class in the last period of the afternoon, but Shi Xueqian did. After her class, Su Yu immediately ran to the Foreign Languages Department building. Even though she ran as fast as she could, she was still late. By the time she got there, class had already started, and the seats around Shi Xueqian were full.

Su Yu sat in the nearest empty seat, looking at the straight, white back that she couldn’t get close to. She sighed softly. It seemed she would have to get a scooter for tomorrow.

She took out her phone and sent Shi Xueqian a message, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea…

She wrote a small note and, from a good angle, threw it so that it landed right on Shi Xueqian’s back, without attracting any attention.
