GL My Goddess Best Friend’s Seduction (H) - Chapter 40

After applying the medicine, I crawled back into bed and lay there like a corpse.

I did not know how much time passed before the medicine started working. To distract myself, I watched silly videos on my phone.

When I looked at the time again, it was already close to eleven o’clock.

Si Jingnian had not made breakfast today. That was a first in history.

Now that I thought about it, she also had not gone for her morning jog.

Could it be because last night wore her out?

Thinking about last night, she really did expend a lot of energy. Whether it was carrying me to the bathroom or when she was on top of me…

I felt a little guilty. I had just enjoyed myself without thinking about how she was doing.

I was so selfish!

I put on soft cotton underwear, pulled a T-shirt over it, and slipped into some loose sweatpants. Then I opened the door.

Si Jingnian was in the kitchen making lunch. She was wearing a white shirt, her figure graceful and light. She was the brightest presence in the warm-toned kitchen.

My expression softened.

This beautiful person was my girlfriend.

This goddess of mine belonged to me.

She did not look back but asked, “Did you apply the ointment?”

Blushing, I answered with a quiet “Yes.”

“Feeling better?”

“Better now.”

Dragging my slippers, I slowly walked closer. Si Jingnian was simmering chicken soup. Her hair was tied up. She lifted the lid of the pot with her left hand and used a wooden spoon with her right to scoop a ladle of soup.

I pressed myself against her warm, fragrant body and wrapped my arms around her waist.

My cheek rested behind her shoulder. I turned my face and inhaled the scent of her neck.

It was a light fragrance, with a lingering sweetness that made one want to sin.

Her body tensed for a second, then relaxed.

In an awkward pose, she offered the spoonful of soup to me.

I gently blew on it, then held the spoon and drank the rich, slightly oily chicken soup.

A naughty idea came to mind. After drinking, I did not let go of the spoon.

I used my tongue to block the little spoon, not letting her pull it away.

I slowly brushed my upper lip against the spoon again, then let it go and licked the hollow of the spoon.

Si Jingnian’s gaze landed straight on my lips.

She turned calmly and placed the spoon in the sink, then covered the pot.

She started chopping vegetables.

I pouted. Was I really that unattractive?

My hands moved up from her waist and cupped her chest.

Soft.

Si Jingnian’s breathing immediately grew erratic. She pushed my hands away and stepped aside, putting at least two meters between us.

I felt a little disheartened. I had not really meant to do anything. Still, being pushed away made me sad. “Why did you push me away?”

She avoided me like I was some kind of dangerous creature. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist.”

I burst out laughing. She made me sound like some seductive demon trying to tempt her.

“So I’m a demon that drains your life energy? You’re really that scared of me taking advantage of you?”

“You are a demon.”

“But you’re still swollen. Are you sure your body can handle it again?”

I was speechless and blushed deeply. “Fine. Never mind.”

While Si Jingnian served the food, I walked over to the dining table.

I noticed that a soft cushion had been placed on my seat. Her thoughtfulness touched me, and my face flushed.

After our late breakfast-lunch, Si Jingnian told me to continue resting.

I refused. If I rested any more, I would get dizzy.

I thumped my lower back. It was still very sore.

Si Jingnian had me lie down on the sofa. She began massaging my shoulders and back. “Or do you want to go for a massage and a scraping session?”

I was about to say yes, then remembered my body covered in love bites. “No way! I’m covered in hickeys. How could I take off my clothes?”

Her hands paused for a second, then resumed massaging.

I stretched my arms to help her work more easily.

My waist was already ticklish, and after all that activity yesterday, it was sore too. When she reached my lower back, I nearly broke apart.

It tickled and hurt.

Though it was not as intense as last night, it still made me cry and laugh, squirming to dodge her hands.

All that wriggling left me gasping for air.

In the end, we stayed in and did not go out. I did not mind. The older I got, the more I became a homebody.

We cuddled together on the couch and watched two sci-fi movies. They were quite good.

By the time we finished, it was already late, so we decided to go out for dinner.

Since I could not move around too much, we chose a nearby vegetarian restaurant.

When we stepped into the elevator, I linked arms with Si Jingnian as usual. That had always been our way of walking together.

Just like close girlfriends.

Back when we first met, Si Jingnian had refused to let me hold her arm.

She would jump away the moment I touched her.

At the time, I pouted so much you could hang an oil jug from my lips. I grabbed her sleeve and pretended to cry. Just then, a classmate passed by on a bike and ran over my toe. Real tears immediately flowed.

That really scared her. Si Jingnian quickly grabbed the hand I had on her sleeve and pulled it around her arm.

She held it tightly in the crook of her elbow.

Just like how I had clung to her last night in our chaos.

Inside, I had been laughing mischievously. However, to Si Jingnian, I probably seemed like I was smiling through my tears, making her think she had comforted me.

In truth, it was just that my toe hurt like hell.

The light outside the elevator was broken. Only the hall light was on, making the atmosphere dim.

I held her arm tighter.

Si Jingnian relaxed her arm, allowing my hand that had been looped around it to fall away.

I froze.

Then her right hand firmly grasped my left wrist. A moment later, her hand slid down and held my left hand.

She traced the size of my hand, exploring, and slipped her fingers between mine.

We were now holding hands.

At that moment, my heart trembled. My pulse shot over one-eighty.

We had done this kind of thing before. So why did it feel so different now that we were together?

We had done much more intense things just last night. So why did a simple hand-hold make my heart race in daylight?

Why was it making me so flustered?

I could not figure it out, so I stopped thinking.

I held Si Jingnian’s hand openly and walked toward the restaurant.

Girls holding hands on the street was not too uncommon. Most linked arms, some held hands or slung arms over shoulders.

Two girls holding hands did not seem odd. But two guys doing it…

That was normal in India.

I held Si Jingnian’s hand and my mind wandered through all kinds of nonsense.

I shook off the thoughts and looked up at Si Jingnian’s face.

In the deep evening under the setting dusk, her face looked like a dream.

I could not help but feel that none of this was real.

I tightened my hold on her hand.

She tightened back. Turning her head, she looked at me.

Maybe my face looked a little blank. She smiled and waved our clasped hands in front of me.

“Were you staring at me?”

I gradually came back to my senses. My face turned red in the dark. “You’re too beautiful.”

With a little more confidence I added, “Besides, what’s wrong with looking at my girlfriend?”

“Fine, fine. Then look at me all you want,” she said, smiling even brighter. “But you can only look at me.”

Her smile had a childlike tone, and her eyes sparkled with possessiveness.

It was quite captivating.

We had just passed the fitness equipment in our neighborhood. The area was empty.

“Hmph, I don’t want to. I want to look at lots of pretty girls and handsome guys.” I was thrilled by her reply but still refused to give in with my words. “Besides…”

“No way…”

I had not even finished speaking when my mouth was sealed.

All my words were swallowed.

She pressed her lips to mine, and her left hand supported the back of my head.

Si Jingnian kissed me deeply, her tongue dancing with mine. I struggled to breathe. Her breath was also quick, but her kiss remained tender.

Her tongue skillfully guided me, connecting with me, drawing responses from me.

Our breaths grew increasingly tangled.

She kissed my lips, then circled her tongue around my mouth.

When I was really out of breath, she eased off and pecked gently at my lips.

One peck after another.

Under the moonlight, leaning on each other, I clung to her waist and rested against her shoulder, gasping for air.

We had barely rested when an elderly man walked by with his grandson.

I quickly let go of Si Jingnian and adjusted my clothes.

I pretended nothing had happened.

I walked ahead toward the neighborhood gate, putting distance between us.

With her long legs, Si Jingnian caught up in just a few steps.

Once we left the gate, I sighed in relief. She reached out and held my hand again.

Still flustered from earlier, I shook her hand off.

Only after doing it did I realize what I had done. I quickly grabbed her hand again. “Ahh, I’m just not used to it.”

Si Jingnian held my hand tightly. “You’re not allowed to let go again.”

“If you do, I’ll kiss you.”

I was dumbfounded by her bossy line. It was ridiculous and yet so charming.

It made me want to let go on purpose…

Thinking that, I still came up with an excuse. “Even if someone sees us, I still can’t let go?”

“No.”

“What if your coworkers see us?”

“No.”

“What about your friends?”

“No.”

“What about your parents? Do I not need to let go even then?”

“No need,” Si Jingnian said softly. “They would be happy to see it.”

“Huh?”

“Xiaoyu, my parents know.”

“Know what?”

“They know I like you.”

“What? Since when?”

“They’ve always known.”

“Oh…” I thought back. If her parents had known all along, then some of Aunt Luo Lan’s words suddenly made more sense. There had always been a bit of intent and suspicion in the way she talked to me.

Like that whole thing with Yu’an…

“Do they know about Yu’an too?”

“They know.”

“Oh, you’re really silly.” I thought about how, if I were Aunt Luo Lan, my heart would ache as well. Si Jingnian had fallen for someone who seemed unlikely to return her feelings. She liked me for so many years and even faked having a boyfriend. That was both painful and touching.

I held her hand tighter.

“So do they know we’re together now?”

“Not yet.”

“Let’s tell them together someday.”

“Alright.” Si Jingnian’s face bloomed with a radiant smile. “They’ll be happy. They really like you.”

Thinking of her kind and gentle parents filled me with warmth.

A hopeful smile appeared on my face too. I would be happy to grow closer to them.

Then I thought of my own parents…

If my parents found out I was with Si Jingnian, they would probably lose their minds.

Even though they liked her, they were still conservative. I did not think they could accept me dating another girl. They were still hoping I would find a husband and give them a grandchild.

Si Jingnian noticed the troubled look on my face.

“What’s wrong?”

“My parents… probably won’t accept me being with a girl. Even though they like you…”

“I understand. We’ll behave well and take things slowly.” Si Jingnian lifted my chin and looked me in the eyes seriously.

“Okay.”

Before falling asleep that night, I suddenly realized she never answered the question about whether she had experience before.

But what did it matter? Right now, she was mine. I was the one enjoying her amazing skills…

That thought led me back to memories of last night…

I drifted off to sleep, lost in the recollection.
