Chapter 53 : Her Heart's Voice
Chapter 53 : Her Heart's Voice
"Underwear!?" Xifeng was stunned, then said sternly: "Take it off yourself! I won't help you!"
This was a matter of principle, and she would never compromise no matter what!
"But..."
"No buts. If you don't take it off yourself, then sleep in it. The one who'll be uncomfortable is you, not me." With a low huff, Xifeng opened her eyes, and what met her gaze was Bei Yaoyue's nearly naked body. Her breathing immediately hitched.
The gentle curves of her body carried the unique innocence of a young girl. Her budding chest was wrapped beneath pure white underwear, her slender waist without a trace of excess flesh, her long and gracefully lined legs like jade and ice. With just one glance, Xifeng could no longer look away. Even though she was used to seeing her own delicately carved body daily, she still found herself somewhat entranced.
"Ahem!" Realizing she had lost her composure, Xifeng quickly coughed pretentiously.
As if not noticing Xifeng's embarrassment, Bei Yaoyue asked softly: "Sleep with me tonight, okay?"
"!? What, what, what, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!" Xifeng was shocked. They say alcohol reveals true feelings—was this really what Bei Yaoyue was thinking about?
"Can't I?" Her eyelashes lowered, Bei Yaoyue looked at the ground dejectedly, like a hungry kitten begging its owner for food only to be cruelly rejected, making Xifeng suddenly feel like she was some kind of evil sinner.
Shaking her head, Xifeng quickly threw away the inexplicable wavering and said firmly: "Of course not!"
"Why?" Bei Yaoyue suddenly raised her head, her water-colored eyes gleaming in the darkness, rippling with the light of heartbreak. "Aren't we sisters? Isn't it normal for sisters to sleep together?"
"You dare bring that up!" At the mention of this, Xifeng got angry, saying with hidden fury: "You know we're sisters! Do normal sisters kiss!?"
"They do." Bei Yaoyue nodded heavily, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Xifeng was momentarily speechless from Bei Yaoyue's response. Indeed, reasoning with a drunk person was a very stupid thing to do.
And when someone is perfectly, appropriately stupid, you can't tell whether they're truly stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
"I'm too lazy to waste more words with you." Xifeng irritably spread the blanket over Bei Yaoyue, tucking in the corners. "It's getting late, hurry up and sleep. I need to sleep too, I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Get up early?" Bei Yaoyue looked at her. "For what?"
"To..."
Halfway through her words, Xifeng felt this wasn't the time to bring up unnecessary topics. After brief consideration, she said instead: "Exercise."
Not caring whether Bei Yaoyue believed her or not, Xifeng just wanted to escape this troublesome place as quickly as possible: "I'm leaving. Be good."
But soon, a hand reached out from under the blanket, pulling her toward the bed with irresistible force. Losing her balance, Xifeng fell onto the bed.
Immediately after, two nimble hands accurately unbuttoned Xifeng's clothes one by one. Before Xifeng could react from the shock of being pulled down, her top had already been removed.
"What are you doing!" Xifeng cried out, quickly covering her nonexistent chest with both hands, her cheeks instantly flushing red.
With only a children's style bra remaining on her upper body, she was dying of shame.
"Helping you undress for bed, of course." As she spoke, Bei Yaoyue's hands reached for Xifeng's skirt, ignoring her struggles and quickly pulling it down, casually tossing it aside, demonstrating what it meant to be skillful at undressing.
"You...!" Her cheeks burning hot, Xifeng was nearly driven to death by this bastard Bei Yaoyue. Earlier she said she couldn't find the buttons, but when undressing her, she was even more efficient than Xifeng herself!
She even suspected that Bei Yaoyue wasn't drunk at all and was just acting!
"Come on, let's sleep." Bei Yaoyue lifted the blanket, patting the spot beside her, indicating for Xifeng to lie there. The slight smile at the corner of her mouth was like a soul-stealing demon, tempting her toward the irredeemable depths of hell.
In the blink of an eye, she was left with only underwear and panties. Xifeng really wanted to turn around and leave in anger, but considering Bei Yaoyue's current state, she was afraid that leaving directly would cause Bei Yaoyue to have another drunken episode.
Therefore, after brief hesitation, Xifeng decided... it smells so good.
She felt that rather than dealing with all this nonsense, it would be better to go along with Bei Yaoyue's wishes and coax this guy to sleep early, so she could sleep peacefully.
"It's not impossible to sleep with you, but let me make this clear first!" Xifeng gritted her teeth and said somewhat fiercely: "If you dare to touch me inappropriately, I will never forgive you!"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't." Bei Yaoyue nodded seriously with a grave expression.
"Hmph... I'll trust you this once."
Glaring at Bei Yaoyue skeptically, Xifeng slowly crawled into the blanket Bei Yaoyue held up.
It was very warm, just like Bei Yaoyue's embrace. The rich gardenia fragrance surged from all directions, making Xifeng's breathing quicken somewhat.
"Good night." Bei Yaoyue whispered.
"Good night."
As their words fell, the entire bedroom fell into silence. Bei Yaoyue kept her promise faithfully and did nothing, lying there quietly.
"Hah..." Xifeng exhaled, feeling somewhat restless thinking about the person lying beside her.
She had never imagined that there would come a day when she would share a bed with Bei Yaoyue. This relationship was really far too ambiguous.
It's nothing, we're just sisters... yes, just sisters. It's indeed very normal for sisters to sleep together, Xifeng comforted herself thus.
Just when Xifeng thought Bei Yaoyue had fallen asleep, Bei Yaoyue suddenly spoke: "Xifeng, do you know? Actually, you're luckier and much happier than me."
Xifeng was stunned for a moment and decided to pretend to be asleep to hear what she planned to say next.
"Because... you can choose to love me, or not love me."
She paused, and when she spoke again, her voice carried a trace of choking.
"But I can only choose to love you, or love you more.
"So..."
She made a sound like a soft sob, turned to her side, embraced Xifeng's body, and said quietly: "Please... don't hate me, okay?"
Her body trembled slightly, as if she were afraid of something.
Xifeng had planned to continue pretending to sleep, but her heart was too soft. She really couldn't bear to see Bei Yaoyue so heartbroken, so she turned around and gently comforted: "Don't think so much. I won't hate you."
"Really?" Bei Yaoyue's eyes seemed to carry traces of tears.
"Of course it's true." With a laughing sigh, Xifeng grasped Bei Yaoyue's palm. "Even if I hate myself, I won't hate you."
These words weren't meant to deceive Bei Yaoyue, but came from her heart.
It was only upon hearing Bei Yaoyue's inner monologue just now that Xifeng suddenly realized that her slight dislike for Bei Yaoyue had long since dissipated without her knowing.
What she thought was dislike was actually just her dissatisfaction with some of Bei Yaoyue's behaviors.
"Xifeng." Bei Yaoyue smiled happily, more beautiful than blooming lilies. "I love you the most."

"I shouldn't have believed your nonsense." Xifeng said reproachfully, feeling truly foolish, (—DATA DELETED—)
(—DATA DELETED—)
"I didn't touch you inappropriately." Her beautiful eyes blinking lightly, Bei Yaoyue looked completely innocent, (—DATA DELETED—)
Xifeng's expression stiffened. Good grief, playing word games here?
"You're just a wolf that can never be fed." Xifeng couldn't help but mutter under her breath. She increasingly felt that Bei Yaoyue probably wasn't drunk—this level of mental agility didn't seem like something a drunk person could have.
(—DATA DELETED—)
(—DATA DELETED—)
Xifeng said somewhat confusedly: "Are you... drunk or not..."
Perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, she increasingly felt her mind was in chaos. She didn't know whether Bei Yaoyue was really drunk or not, (—DATA DELETED—)
"Guess." (—DATA DELETED—)
(—DATA DELETED—)
(—DATA DELETED—)
Whether Bei Yaoyue was really drunk or not?
Perhaps only she herself knew the answer to this question.
Meanwhile, at Jinghua Business Hotel.
Even though it was already late at night, He Pingge was still writing furiously on test papers. Under the dim light, her cheeks were deeply buried in a layer of fatigue.
"Hah..." Exhaling, she put down her pen, shook her somewhat sore hand, and took out her phone, planning to relax for a bit.
He Pingge quietly stared at the white figure on her phone's wallpaper in a daze. Even after not seeing her for so long, her Xifei was still so cute.
Recalling what Xifeng had said today, she couldn't help but smile. Xifeng not hating homosexuals was the best news she had heard in days.
"Good! To get into Crescent University of Technology, I must work even harder!" For a moment, He Pingge was filled with motivation again.
