GL My Goddess Best Friend’s Seduction (H) - Chapter 26

In the end, Si Jingnian did not stay the night. I took her for a stroll through the mall below my apartment and then let her drive home.

The next evening, we began our journey back to Beijing.

The following week passed peacefully. That was the case until one night, I had another one of those confusing dreams.

In the dream, I could not see the other person’s face. I only knew I was at a bar, sitting in a booth with my back to the bar counter. Someone behind me had their arm around my waist.

In front of us stood a blurry, sensual woman, nearly naked, seductively swaying and posing for both me and the person holding me.

The person behind me said, “She is my girlfriend.”

I did not know who they were, but in the dream, I felt safe in her arms.

I even curled into her embrace, intoxicated by her warm, fragrant scent.

The girl in front of us sauntered away.

The woman behind me breathed hotly against the back of my ear.

The heat set me ablaze. My whole body was flushed, burning with desire.

She did not let me go, as I had expected. Instead, she tightened her hold on me.

My back melted into the softness of her chest. I could not push her away. I had no strength.

She could sense I wanted to escape, but she did not let me.

Instead, the next second, my right earlobe was enveloped in searing warmth.

I let out a soft cry, my body collapsing against her.

I had no strength to resist. I thought that if I did not resist, maybe she would let me go.

But she seemed to find it amusing. She licked and bit my ear, nibbling more and more.

I was limp in her arms, left with only faint whimpers.

Eventually, she stopped and released my ear.

I let out a breath. I could not tell whether it was from relief or from the fear of making an embarrassing noise.

The next moment, her cool lips pressed against my neck.

I tensed and held my breath.

Her warm tongue peeked out, tracing a slow path upward along the curve of my neck.

Finally, in the dream, I spoke. The words made my face burn.

“Ah… Jingnian, do not…”

I woke up in a panic.

It was another dream like this.

How shameful.

I was always lusting after my best friend in my dreams, and it made me feel so dirty.

That night at the bar clearly left a mark on my subconscious and now I had twisted it into this.

I felt a headache coming on.

Truthfully, I probably already knew. I was physically attracted to Si Jingnian.

Otherwise, why would I keep having these dreams? I had always found her beautiful, but lately that admiration had changed.

I thought I wanted to be physically close to her.

That could not be normal.

Not only had I always thought I was straight, but she was my best friend. And she had a boyfriend.

No matter how I looked at it, desiring her was wrong.

Maybe it was just a temporary crush or a moment of confusion. Maybe it would pass.

Either way, I needed to extinguish this spark before she found out.

I could not let my filthy thoughts ruin our friendship.

So I came up with a solution. I would see her less and attend more classes. I would keep myself busy and forget this ever happened.

The plan went smoothly. I told my supervisor I wanted more classes to keep my mind occupied.

She even patted my shoulder and told me to stay strong. She said, “Three-legged creatures are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere.”

She misunderstood. Maybe she thought I was just hopelessly devoted.

But if she knew what kind of “devotion” I was hiding…

I gave a bitter laugh.

My class schedule became packed. Not just weekends, but every evening on weekdays as well.

That meant I had no time to cook dinner.

Naturally, I saw Si Jingnian less.

On Sundays and Mondays, I excused myself by saying I did not feel like cooking.

And in the mornings, I started getting up late. I used to wake at 7:20, put on makeup, eat a leisurely breakfast, and bike to work.

Now I got up at 7:50. That was the exact time Si Jingnian left. We barely said hello before she was gone.

I liked it this way. I even messaged her pretending to be sleepy, saying I just could not get out of bed lately.

So, we really did not see much of each other that week.

Being busy helped. I did not have time to think about anything else.

But if I did not think about something, did that mean it was gone?

Of course not.

The moment I had even a second of free time, my thoughts returned to Si Jingnian.

I kept obsessing over questions with no answers.

I had no choice but to stay busy every single moment. On my way home, I listened to music. In bed, I watched comedy clips. Before sleeping, I studied English.

I forced myself to fall asleep.

I tortured my nerves.

This went on for two weeks. Si Jingnian did not say much.

But I noticed I was becoming listless.

Even my supervisor asked if I wanted to take a few days off or lighten my course load.

But how could I rest? If I rested, I would be thinking about Si Jingnian nonstop.

I refused, assuring her I would adjust on my own.

She seemed to believe me.

On Saturday night, I had just gotten home and poured myself a glass of hot water.

While massaging my shoulders, I got a video call on WeChat from Lin Yuqi.

I answered.

On the other end, I heard broken sobs.

My heart tightened. I quickly asked, “Yuqi, what happened? Are you okay?”

Between choked cries, she said, “Miss An… do you remember… our promise?”

I could hear traffic and chaos in the background. It sounded like she was standing on the roadside.

The sound of cars passing was very close.

I became nervous, worried she might be thinking something extreme.

“Of course I remember. Tell me where you are right now.”

She took a deep breath. “Miss Xiaoyu, I want to use my promise now.”

“Okay. What do you want? I will make it happen,” I said, already putting down my cup, grabbing my bag and keys.

Si Jingnian must have heard me moving around and came out of her room. She was about to ask what was going on.

I gestured for silence.

She understood. Without speaking, she quietly joined me at the door and started putting on her shoes.

“Miss, can I stay at your place tonight?” Lin Yuqi asked between sobs.

“Of course. Is that your request?”

“Yes… yes. Please let me stay. I really have nowhere else to go.”

“Alright. Tell me where you are. I will come get you.”

“I… I am on Jixi Road. I am not exactly sure where.”

Jixi Road? I frowned. That area was kind of remote. I had no idea how she ended up there.

“Send me your location. I will come now.”

“Okay. Miss Xiaoyu, please do not tell anyone else where I am.”

“Alright,” I sighed, glancing at Si Jingnian. There was concern in her eyes.

Lin Yuqi sent her location. I told her to keep the voice call on and that I was on my way.

Si Jingnian wanted to come with me.

I told her I should go alone. I did not want to scare the kid.

She agreed, handed me her car keys, and reminded me to drive safely and be gentle with the girl.

I said okay.

This was my first time handling something like this, but I figured it was probably a family dispute or maybe a conflict with classmates or teachers.

As it turned out, I was right.

Saturday night traffic was a mess. I tried asking Lin Yuqi what had happened, but she would not say. She just kept crying.

So I gave up asking and instead told her about random gossip and a new dessert shop I liked.

Calling it a conversation was generous. It was mostly me talking.

I picked her up at 10:20 PM. She was sitting alone on the roadside, curled up, looking pitiful.

She told me someone had asked if she wanted to call the police, but she had refused.

Even after getting in the car, she did not seem any better.

She sat in the passenger seat and stared at her hands in silence.
