You Should Have Told Me You Don't Like Sweet Girls - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

After confirming her feelings, Shi Xueqian knew that to be with Su Yu openly, she first had to break free from the Xu family’s control.

She had no power, no influence, and no connections.

The best way she could think of to completely break free from the Xu family’s control was to leave Yuncheng, go to a place where the Xu family’s hands couldn’t reach, and start a new life.

As for the place she was going, she had already found it. The school there provided housing. As for living expenses, she would just have to take it one step at a time.

Over the years, the Xu family had never given her a single extra cent for living expenses. Not only that, her scholarships and all the prize money she won from competitions were withheld by Xu Zhicheng. She was now penniless.

But even being a beggar outside was better than staying with the Xu family.

She firmly believed that getting out was the start of something beautiful.

The next most important thing was to secretly move her grandmother to the new city, away from the Xu family’s surveillance.

As for Su Yu…

Teacher: “Little Shi, you know that not only do we teachers value you, but the school’s leadership also thinks very highly of you. If you want to transfer, we’ll have a hard time accepting it unless you can give us a compelling reason.”

Shi Xueqian had already thought of a reason. She briefly explained that she had been abused and controlled by her family. After she finished speaking, she looked at the teacher with a calm expression.

The teacher’s brow furrowed. She looked at her beloved student with a pained heart. “Little Shi, why are you only telling me this now? The school can help you.”

Shi Xueqian: “Teacher, thank you. The reason I’m willing to tell you this is because I know you’re kind-hearted. Thank you for thinking of me, but leaving is enough. As long as I leave Yuncheng, everything will be fine.”

Teacher: “Is there really no other solution?”

The teacher didn’t know what else to say. Shi Xueqian’s file didn’t have any information about her family. When she was admitted to the school, only a driver accompanied her. The school didn’t know her family background.

Most likely, even if she wanted to help, she, a small teacher, wouldn’t be able to.

Shi Xueqian shook her head. “I just want to ask one thing of you, Teacher. I hope that no one else knows about my transfer, besides the necessary procedures and the leadership.”

The teacher really wanted to say that if her family background was that powerful, they might find out as soon as the application was submitted. But she didn’t know the inside story. Maybe Shi Xueqian knew the secret. If she thought it was okay, then… it should be okay.

She nodded. “But the transfer process will take at least three months. Are you okay during these three months?”

“Teacher, can you help me expedite it?” Shi Xueqian said seriously. “I’ve already contacted the teachers at the school there. As long as this side agrees, I can enroll at any time.”

The school leadership there knew Shi Xueqian and her professional ability. They had granted a special exemption from the tedious enrollment assessment. As long as Southern Hundred University let her go, they would welcome her at any time.

The teacher frowned. “It will take at least a month.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Shi Xueqian stood up, bowed to the teacher at a ninety-degree angle, and left the office.

As she walked out of the teachers’ office building, Shi Xueqian looked up at the dazzling sunlight. She raised her hand, and the sunlight fell on her face through the gaps between her fingers. The glaring light and the scorching heat were sensations she hadn’t felt in a long time. This sensory revival was all thanks to Su Yu.

A month, not too tight and not too loose, was enough time for her to figure out how to explain things to Su Yu, to her grandmother, and to move her grandmother to the new city first.

She hoped everything would go smoothly.

Back at the study room, Shi Xueqian took out her key. Just before she was about to put it in the lock, she stopped. She put the key away and knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside.

Did she leave?

Thinking this, she opened the door with the key.

By the window, Su Yu was lying on a beanbag chair, holding a book in her arms. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be asleep.

The window curtain fluttered, and the sunlight danced. Shi Xueqian stood still at the door, watching this incredibly beautiful scene.

Her study room, her Su Yu.

How wonderful would it be if Su Yu could always stay in her place like this and wait for her to come back?

The sunlight on the floor made her eyes squint. Shi Xueqian suddenly realized what she was thinking. She hesitated for a moment and warned herself again, Shi Xueqian, you can’t be this possessive.

You won’t be able to hold on to anything that way.

She took a deep breath, walked to Su Yu, and squatted down, admiring her girlfriend’s sleeping face. The corners of her mouth curved up unconsciously.

Her girlfriend, she’s so beautiful.

She leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Just as she was about to get up, a hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her forward.

Su Yu’s scent instantly filled her mouth. Shi Xueqian was straddling Su Yu’s waist. She wrapped her arms around her neck without the slightest struggle and responded with passion. A sweet, wet sound came from their intertwined lips and tongues. She twisted her waist incessantly.

Su Yu put her hand under Shi Xueqian’s clothes and gently kneaded the delicate skin on her waist. Her hot breath moved downward, to her lips, chin, neck…

“Since I said that day, big sister hasn’t worn a dress again. You’re such a good girl.”

Shi Xueqian’s head was tilted back. She was trembling slightly. She lightly hit Su Yu’s shoulder. “You bad person, you were pretending to be asleep again.”

Su Yu held her waist with one hand and reached up to the top of her br3asts with the other, playing with them delicately. She looked up at her. “If I don’t pretend to be asleep, how will the prey deliver herself to my door?”

“Big sister, you really like me playing with you like this, don’t you?”

Shi Xueqian couldn’t hold on any longer. She buried her head in Su Yu’s neck, not answering the question. Instead, she said with a trembling voice, “Don’t call me big sister. The other, the other side, too.”

Su Yu didn’t do as she wished. She said in a suppressed voice, “Why don’t you want me to call you big sister? Didn’t senior call herself big sister just now? I thought big sister liked to hear it~”

Shi Xueqian rubbed her lips against her neck, whining like a kitten. “Good Su Yu, can you play, with the other, other side, please?”

She still didn’t answer the question.

Su Yu did as she wished this time, but she didn’t move. She still asked, “Why don’t you want me to call you big sister? Senior also said you’d abide by your wife’s rules. If that’s the case, what should you be calling me now?”

“Say it so I can hear it, and I’ll give senior what you want.”

Shi Xueqian acted as if she hadn’t heard her and moved to rub against her hand. When Su Yu moved back a little, she followed her. In the end, there was nowhere for either of them to retreat. Su Yu took her hand out from under her clothes. Their bodies were pressed tightly together with two layers of fabric between them.

The moment they moved, the same electricity shot through both of their bodies.

Su Yu took a deep breath. She held her waist with one hand to keep her from moving. She bit her collarbone. Her voice was filled with suppressed panting. “Senior, why did you become so naughty after going out? Hmm?”

“I like Su Yu. I like Su Yu so much.” Shi Xueqian hugged her neck tightly, her warm breath reverently falling on her ear. “I love Su Yu the most.”

Her tone was incredibly dependent.

She was still not answering the question, but it made Su Yu’s heart melt.

A warm liquid dripped onto the back of her neck. Su Yu’s whole body trembled. She wanted to help the person in her arms sit up, but the person didn’t move. Instead, she hugged her even tighter.

Su Yu could only gently pat her back to comfort her. “What’s wrong, senior? Why are you crying? I was just teasing you. How could I not give you what you want? I’m willing to give you anything you want.”

“Don’t cry. Let me go. I’ll make you feel good right now, okay?”

Shi Xueqian bit her on the back of her neck and said muffled, “I just want to stay like this.”

Su Yu went along with it. “Okay, whatever senior says.”

The two of them sat on the beanbag chair, hugging each other. Su Yu gently patted the back of the person in her arms, as if she were coaxing a child, gentle and patient.

In reality, her mind was already trying to guess what had happened to Shi Xueqian today.

Even if it was just one tear, it was enough to cause one ripple after another in her heart.

She wondered who the damn person was who had made her cry.

In fact, Shi Xueqian was just reluctant. She was so reluctant. The moment she hugged Su Yu, she didn’t want to let go at all.

She would be leaving this place in a month. Even if they stayed in touch, she wouldn’t be able to hold her like this. She hadn’t wanted to cry, but when she thought about this, tears fell unconsciously.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Xueqian composed herself and sat up straight.

Su Yu raised her hand and wiped away the tears that had long since dried. Her face was full of heartache. “Tell me what happened, okay?”

Shi Xueqian took her hand and held it. “You don’t know what happened? All you ever do is bully me and make me feel so uncomfortable.”

Su Yu knew she didn’t want to talk about it. She sighed softly, her face full of sadness. “Senior, do you believe me?”

“What’s wrong?” Shi Xueqian raised her hand and gently stroked her face. “Don’t make that face, Su Yu. I believe you. I only believe you.”

Su Yu rubbed her palm. “Then why aren’t you willing to tell me anything? Senior, do you not want to be with me for a long time?”

“Did you suddenly agree to be with me just because you were moved when I blocked the blow for you that day?”

Shi Xueqian cupped her face and pressed her forehead against hers. “How could you think that? I’m willing to be with you because I love you.”

“Su Yu, I love you.”

“Really?” Su Yu stared at her.

“Really.” She kissed her eyes. Shi Xueqian said seriously, “When the time is right, I’ll tell you everything, okay?”

“Then before the time is right, senior, can you live a stable and happy life?”

Shi Xueqian was stunned for a moment. She knew that Su Yu was so smart. How could she not have noticed anything? She nodded. “Yes, I will. As long as you’re here, I’ll feel very happy.”

“I’m happy that I have senior’s trust,” Su Yu’s voice paused slightly. She raised her hand and pinched her earlobe. “But I hope that senior’s happiness isn’t just because of me. I hope that everything in this world can make senior happy, like the beautiful sunlight today, a small flower by the side of the road, or a random book on this bookshelf… I want senior to be happy forever.”

The study room fell silent.

The wind rustled the window curtain against the wall, making a slight sound. In the past, Shi Xueqian wouldn’t have found this sound annoying, but she would have found it disturbing and would have chosen to get up and close the window.

Now, it seemed she heard the wind rejoicing. It wasn’t a deliberate disturbance, but a friendly sharing.

Just like the sunlight through the gaps in her fingers wasn’t blinding, but a warm embrace of light.

Shi Xueqian’s lips slowly curved into a smile. “Yes, Su Yu, I am your lover. I will do as you wish.”

Su Yu dotingly stroked the back of her head. “Okay, my lover. I have one thing to ask of you. Please, you must promise me.”

Shi Xueqian: ???

Su Yu took out her phone and showed her the notice the class president had just sent.

Shi Xueqian looked at it carefully. It was the final project for a directing class: a group of four students had to shoot a short film with a theme of their choice.

She shook her head. “I don’t know how to shoot a film.”

Su Yu found her naive expression adorable and pinched her cheek. “I’m not asking you to shoot a film. I want you to be my female lead.”

“How long will this take to shoot?”

Su Yu thought for a moment. “I plan to finish it in about two weeks.”

The timing worked. Shi Xueqian asked, “What do you want me to play?”

Su Yu’s lips curved. “I want senior to play a carefree butterfly~”

She spread her hands and mimicked the movements of a butterfly flying.

Shi Xueqian was amused. “Okay. Then remember to design a pair of colorful wings for me.”

Su Yu agreed readily. “No problem.” She hugged her waist tightly. “Senior has become a beautiful little butterfly, so you’re not allowed to flirt with others. Otherwise, I’ll make a beautiful flower garden and lock you inside.”

Shi Xueqian was stunned.

Su Yu realized what she had said. She had accidentally shown her possessiveness. She immediately explained nonchalantly, “Senior, you know I’m kidding, right?”

Shi Xueqian nodded. “Of course. I was just thinking about what a beautiful flower garden would look like.”

In reality, she was thinking if Su Yu had seen through her thoughts and was teasing her on purpose.

It seemed she had been overthinking.

“Does senior like gardens?” Su Yu asked.

“Not bad,” Shi Xueqian nodded. “I mainly like beautiful and relaxing scenery.”

“Okay,” Su Yu said, rubbing her neck. “Then we’ll make our future home a garden, and we’ll decorate it according to senior’s ideas, okay?”

“Okay.”

She agreed so readily that Su Yu was stunned. Her intention was just to test Shi Xueqian’s attitude, but she didn’t expect Shi Xueqian to agree.

Did this mean that Shi Xueqian had also thought about a future with her?

She raised her hand, touched the back of her neck, and pinched it. She said in a low voice, “Senior, how about we really get married now and move in together tomorrow?”

She had plenty of houses. They could just pick one and live in it.

“After you graduate, if senior doesn’t like working here, that’s okay. I can go anywhere senior wants to go, as long as senior is willing to take me with you.”

Shi Xueqian pinched her earlobe. “Not yet. When you graduate, if you still like me, we’ll get married.”

Su Yu still had three years until she graduated.

In these three years, she would build a career of her own and have the ability to give Su Yu a home.

Su Yu pouted slightly. “I still have three years until I graduate. Three years is so long…”

She whined in a muffled voice…

“Be good,” Shi Xueqian said, kissing her mouth. “No matter how long it takes, I will only be yours.”

Su Yu held the back of her head and gave her a long, gentle kiss. When they finally separated, they were both out of breath. “Senior, you can’t go back on your word. You can never let go of me.”

Shi Xueqian cupped her face. Her amber-colored peach blossom eyes were filled with a tenderness she had never had before. She nodded solemnly. “I will never let go of you.”

She suddenly remembered something. “Who are your group members?”

“I already reported to the teacher,” Su Yu explained. “I’m in a group by myself.”

Shi Xueqian: “Have you decided what kind of film you’re going to shoot?”

“Uh-huh,” Su Yu said, looking up at her. Her black eyes were bright, like the brightest star in the night sky. “Otherwise, why would I ask senior to be my female lead?”

“What about the script? Can I see it first?”

Shi Xueqian wasn’t sure if she could act.

“The script is still in my head. I’ll write it as soon as I can and send it to senior.”

Shi Xueqian asked another question, “You’re in a group by yourself. What about the other actors? Am I the only one?”

“Of course not. There are others.”

Shi Xueqian’s heart trembled slightly. “Who are they? Do I know them?”

Su Yu: “Some you know, and some you don’t. Senior, you don’t have to worry. You’ll definitely be fine.”

Shi Xueqian couldn’t help but worry. After all, she knew that Xu Yan and Su Yu were in the same class, and their relationship was even pretty good.

If Su Yu was going to choose actors from her class, she would probably choose Xu Yan first…

Su Yu held her chin and turned her head. “Senior? What are you worried about?”

Shi Xueqian smiled and shook her head. “I’m just worried that I won’t act well and that I’ll ruin your film.”

“You won’t,” Su Yu said seriously. “Senior, do you know? I’ve worked with several award-winning actors, and in my eyes, your acting is no worse than theirs. So, you have to have confidence in yourself, okay?”

“It doesn’t matter what happens. I just hope senior has fun acting.”

Shi Xueqian nodded.

In the evening, as soon as she arrived at the Xu family’s doorstep, Shi Xueqian heard a sweet “brother” from inside.

Xu Yan was hugging Xu Heng’s waist, whining sweetly. “Brother, please punish her for me. She lied to your dearest sister.”

When she saw Shi Xueqian come in, Xu Yan didn’t hold back. Instead, she became even more uninhibited. “If you don’t do something, Shi Xueqian will be stepping all over your sister.”

She had already checked. What Shi Xueqian said last time, that Su Yu confessed to and kissed her, was all nonsense!

Since she dared to lie to her, she had to be punished.

With that, she smiled at Shi Xueqian, looking like the most innocent, evil sweetheart.

That face again. Since Xu Heng went abroad and Xu Yan entered the entertainment industry, Shi Xueqian hadn’t seen Xu Yan like this in a long time.

The original source of her hatred for sweet girls.

Xu Yan always used the sweetest clothes, the sweetest smile, and the sweetest voice to easily drag her into one hopeless abyss after another.

When Xu Heng saw Shi Xueqian, he was slightly stunned. Then he smiled. “Okay, little sister. Your brother will punish this big sister who doesn’t know her place for you.”

He wanted to let Shi Xueqian know what a good choice he had given her last time.

As long as she agreed, she could live a good life in the Xu family and enjoy a happy family life.

Xu Yan pouted and hit him on the chest. “Brother~ I told you, she’s not my big sister.”

“Okay, okay~ She’s not,” Xu Heng said, humoring her. He turned his head and gave Shi Xueqian a cold smile. “Let’s go, Qianqian. How about we get together in the darkroom?”

Before moving her grandmother to the new place, she would just go along with it, just like before, so the Xu family wouldn’t notice anything.

She obediently walked into the darkroom. As usual, Xu Yan was in charge of giving orders, and Xu Heng was in charge of carrying them out.

A huge pain came from her body. Shi Xueqian gritted her teeth, not letting a single sound of pleasure escape.

Just endure it. Endure it for another month.

Xu Heng turned off the current on the iron chair. He leaned in and whispered in Shi Xueqian’s ear, “What do you think, little sister? As long as you agree to my offer from last time, I promise you won’t have to suffer like this again.”

Shi Xueqian only heard a ringing in her ears that was so loud it was annoying. She opened her eyes, and all she saw was a field of snow. She had no idea where she was.

Xu Heng glanced at her, walked over to Xu Yan, who was nodding off from time to time, and lightly patted her cheek. “It’s late. Go back to your room and sleep.”

Xu Yan opened her eyes and glanced at Shi Xueqian. Seeing her in a daze, she nodded with satisfaction. She spread her arms to Xu Heng. “Brother is sleepy~ Carry me back.”

Xu Heng shook his head helplessly. He picked her up and carried her out. When he got to the door, he instructed the bodyguard, “Watch the person inside. Don’t let her leave.”

After putting Xu Yan back in her room and tucking her in, Xu Heng returned to the darkroom. By then, Shi Xueqian’s condition was much better. At least she could hear sounds clearly and see the person in front of her clearly.

Xu Heng leaned on the armrests of the iron chair on both sides, close to Shi Xueqian. He smiled wildly. “Little sister, do you remember my offer from last time?”

Shi Xueqian nodded. She would never forget such a disgusting offer for the rest of her life.

“Then what do you think, little sister?”

“I haven’t thought about it,” Shi Xueqian said honestly. “Brother, don’t you forget that we have the same bl00d running in our veins.”

“Doesn’t that make it even more exciting?” Xu Heng said with an indifferent and eager look. “The forbidden fruit is the most delicious.”

Shi Xueqian stared at him expressionlessly. “Then why don’t you make that offer to Xu Yan? You two have the same mother and father. Isn’t that even more forbidden?”

Xu Heng weighed his genitals in his hand. “This thing only feels something for you.”

Shi Xueqian: “Don’t be disgusting.”

“Disgusting?” Xu Heng sneered. “What if the more you find it disgusting, the more excited I get? I haven’t even touched it, and I can already feel it getting hard.”

He looked like a shameless, depraved, and arrogant rascal.

Just like his sister’s sweet girl packaging, he was utterly disgusting.

Now that things had come to this, she had no doubt that even if she didn’t agree, Xu Heng would force her.

Shi Xueqian said with a cold face, “If you dare to touch me, I will cut it off.”

Xu Heng leaned in to her ear. “I’m afraid that by then, you’ll be so happy that you won’t be able to let go.”

From the first second Xu Heng got close to her, Shi Xueqian’s stomach churned. Everything about the Xu family made her feel utterly disgusted. Xu Heng was the most disgusting of them all. The air Xu Heng breathed made her feel disgusted. How much more so with his breath so close to her ear right now?

She suppressed her discomfort and was about to speak when someone else spoke first.

“Young master, the old master said you can’t touch Miss Shi.”

Xu Heng turned around and slapped the bodyguard’s face. “What are you, a bodyguard, doing telling me what to do?”

The bodyguard’s face quickly turned red with a handprint, but he still stood there straight as a mountain. “I’m sorry, young master, but this is what the old master specifically instructed.”

Xu Heng kicked him in the stomach. “Get out.”

The bodyguard didn’t move an inch.

Xu Heng kicked him hard in the knee. “I said, get out.”

He still didn’t move.

Xu Heng laughed out of anger. He pointed at the bodyguard’s nose with an arrogant expression. “Don’t even talk about you. Even if my old man was really here, he wouldn’t be able to tell me what to do!”

“My old man here also can’t tell you what to do? Then who can?”

A cold, deep voice came from the door. Xu Heng’s body trembled. He looked at the door and immediately put on a smile. “Dad, of course you can tell me what to do. It’s just that I, I’m angry. How dare a bodyguard talk back to me! He’ll be stepping all over me later!”

Xu Zhicheng’s expression was very flat. It was hard to tell what he was feeling. “What he said is indeed what I instructed. If I’m not mistaken, I already warned you last time.”

Xu Heng’s body stiffened. He laughed awkwardly. “I, I was just joking with my little sister. She’s my half-sister. How could I do such a beastly thing? I just thought it was fun to see her being so stubborn and resistant. That’s all.”

“Besides, Dad, you should know that there are all kinds of women in the world, right?”

Xu Zhicheng’s expression finally changed. He narrowed his eyes, and his cold gaze fell on Xu Heng. “From now on, neither of you is allowed to touch Xueqian, and you’re not allowed to bring her here again. Do you hear me?”

Xu Heng was clearly unhappy. “Dad, this…”

“I’m only asking you, do you hear me?”

Xu Heng glanced at Shi Xueqian and waved his hand. “Fine. I’m already tired of playing with her anyway.”

If it weren’t for Xu Yan’s request tonight, and his desire to force Shi Xueqian to submit, he wouldn’t have bothered to come down to this damned place.

But whether he wanted to come or not was a completely different matter from being explicitly forbidden to come.

But since Xu Zhicheng was still the head of the Xu family, he could only listen and obey.

With that, he was the first to leave the darkroom.

Xu Zhicheng gave the bodyguard a look. The bodyguard immediately understood and went to untie Shi Xueqian.

Xu Zhicheng: “Can you walk by yourself?”

Shi Xueqian nodded.

Xu Zhicheng: “Good. Then you come with me.”
