Feeling Like We're So Bad

Feeling the breathing of the person behind her gradually grow steady, Hu Yuying turned around in the darkness, facing Long Aotian.

Her fingertips traced the contours of his brows in the air, barely touching.

Gently, she reached out, took his hand, and placed it on her waist, urging him to hold her.

After doing all this,

she affectionately rubbed her nose against his, secretly delighted.

The next moment, the hand on her waist tightened slightly, pulling her closer.

With a soft press, their foreheads naturally came to rest against each other.

Hu Yuying blinked her eyes. "Long Aotian, you're still awake?"

Long Aotian tapped her lips lightly, feigning annoyance. "Go to sleep."

Resting her head on his arm, nestled in his embrace, she felt an overwhelming sense of security.

She buried her face in his chest,

finding a comfortable position before slowly closing her eyes.

But soon, Hu Yuying opened her eyes again, sensing something. Her bright eyes flickered in the dark.

"Curiosity will be your downfall," Long Aotian said, catching her wandering hand.

He covered her eyes with his palm. "If you don’t sleep, don’t blame me for punishing you."

Hu Yuying was still curious about how he’d punish her.

She leaned in and whispered by his ear, "Long Aotian, how will you punish Yuying?"

"You want to know?"

Hu Yuying nodded eagerly. "Can you tell me?"

The next moment...

A soft whimper escaped her lips...

"Had enough?" Long Aotian swallowed hard in the dark.

Hu Yuying curled up, nodding obediently. "Enough."

As she settled back, she wriggled under the covers, eventually burrowing into his arms again. In a tiny, slightly aggrieved voice, she murmured, "Long Aotian, you’re so mean..."

In the darkness, her cheeks flushed, her misty eyes glinting like a fox’s. Biting her lip, every movement exuded allure.

Hearing her faintly resentful complaint,

Long Aotian stiffened, his palms clenching slightly, damp with sweat.

He pulled her tightly against him.

"Hu Yuying, my little Yuying... sometimes I really don’t know what to do with you..."

"I’m yours, Long Aotian. Only yours..."

As soon as she said this, her nose tingled, and she sneezed softly.

Long Aotian tugged the blanket higher, tucking it snugly around her. "Don’t you dare catch a cold, or I’ll really scold you."

Hu Yuying rubbed her nose. "I won’t get sick..." She clung to him even tighter.

She couldn’t afford to fall ill—otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to stay with him...

......

In a small hotel room,

Li Qingxue lay on the bed, covering her face. "My eyes are ruined, ruined."

Lin Wanning chuckled. "And who was it who couldn’t look away earlier?"

Li Qingxue faltered. Curiosity was like Pandora’s box—once opened, it couldn’t be closed. "It feels... like it’d break... too much to handle."

The last time she’d reached into Long Aotian’s pocket, she’d nearly lost her grip.

Maybe she hadn’t held on firmly enough. Either way, comparing it to that video, she could roughly estimate the... dimensions.

Just thinking about it made her shudder.

"What’s broken? What are you talking about?" Lin Wanning asked softly.

She found Li Qingxue’s behavior odd, assuming it was just first-time shyness.

After all, she’d been the same at first—her worldview expanded, learning all sorts of strange things.

Li Qingxue shook her head vigorously. This wasn’t something to share.

No, no, those videos were too much. Her mind was now filled with all kinds of indecent thoughts.

The harder she tried not to think about it, the more those unspeakable images flooded her mind.

She even imagined herself with Long Aotian, her face burning crimson.

She smacked her cheeks lightly. No way would she ever do that—it was just too embarrassing.

"Lin Wanning, you’ve corrupted me. I’m going to tickle you!" Li Qingxue finally turned her frustration on Lin Wanning.

"I didn’t do anything. You wanted to know, so I shared."

"But you didn’t say it was like this! I can’t believe how shameless it is..."

If not for her, she wouldn’t be feeling so... strange. "This is something Hu Yuying should see instead..."

The two paused mid-scuffle at this offhand remark.

"Show Hu Yuying?"

Lin Wanning bit her lip, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Heh, Qingxue, you’re so wicked."

Li Qingxue blinked, then suppressed a smirk. Why should she be the only one getting an... education?

Besides, Hu Yuying probably needed it more...

Given how dense Long Aotian was, tsk tsk...

Lin Wanning covered her face. "Suddenly, I feel like we’re terrible."

"You’re scheming against my brother, I’m scheming against my brother... poor guy."

"Wait, what?" Li Qingxue perked up instantly. "What are you planning? Nothing good, I bet."

Seeing the curiosity blazing in her eyes,

Lin Wanning tapped Li Qingxue’s forehead. "Not telling. It’s my biggest secret."

"Hmph, I don’t even care." Li Qingxue turned away, waiting to be coaxed.

Leaving her hanging like this—how cruel...

Once the lights were off, the room plunged into darkness.

In the faint glow from the window, the resolve in Lin Wanning’s eyes steadied.

"I didn’t want it to be like this... but brother, I tried to forget how good you are to me. I just... couldn’t."

"......"
