Chapter 4: Lots of Kissing Experience?

“?”

Xue Erbai’s hand froze, and the blanket slid back down. A flicker of disbelief crossed her eyes.

She’d only wanted to act normal. How had Ji Wushan…

How had she guessed that?

Or…

Or was she worried about her fingers!

Xue Erbai was caught off guard, and her gaze unconsciously dropped to Ji Wushan’s hand.

Her injured right hand rested on top; when Xue Erbai looked at it, it even trembled faintly. Her beautiful neck was held straight as she leaned closer.

Ji Wushan liked the scent of tea.

Her perfume and body wash were all tea-scented.

When she leaned in, that rich fragrance washed over Xue Erbai all at once, and for a moment Xue Erbai was drawn in.

But just as the scent reached her, it pulled back again.

“You need to rest properly. Don’t think about that!”

If she went by the current Ji Wushan, who had lost her memory…

Xue Erbai was the older one.

With four years between them, Xue Erbai couldn’t quite put her finger on what felt off.

After thinking it over, it seemed a little like taking advantage of someone in distress.

Though she did intend to take advantage of the situation, now that it had come to this, all she felt was worry for Ji Wushan—worry that she wouldn’t be used to it, worry that she’d be scared, worry that…

In any case, she worried about everything.

Besides, the kind of advantage she wanted to take wasn’t physical; it was emotional.

She and Ji Wushan had been intimate before. They weren’t especially familiar with each other, but she had tasted it.

She knew what it felt like.

And she knew what that feeling meant.

Every time, Ji Wushan had been very quiet. Afterward, she would leave without another word, ignoring her weak legs and ragged breathing, still insisting on taking her nightdress and leaving Xue Erbai’s room.

Even though…

Before the two of them moved in, Xue Erbai had already asked about her preferences and prepared a full set of toiletries in both bedrooms. Ji Wushan could use whichever room she wanted and wash wherever she wanted.

But only today.

On the day she was discharged after that accidental car crash and her memory loss, Ji Wushan had finally used them.

That was also something that made Xue Erbai happy.

She hadn’t wanted more than that.

She wasn’t that greedy.

So her tone had unconsciously sharpened. Only after she spoke did she realize that Ji Wushan’s eyes had gone slightly red, and her hands, once loosely clasped, had tightened.

A reaction born of shame.

Xue Erbai had seen that kind of reaction before.

They’d had it on their very first night.

Back then, she had been too shy to move; it was Ji Wushan who had taken the initiative, wrapped her arms around her neck, pressed her cool lips to hers, and guided Xue Erbai’s hand to her waist…

No, no, no!

The more Xue Erbai thought about it, the hotter her whole body felt.

Even if she wasn’t that greedy, she had really experienced it! She wasn’t the memory-lost Ji Wushan now!

How could she possibly stay completely calm!!!

“Sleep, sleep!” she said twice in a row, speaking to Ji Wushan and to herself.

Then she covered the blanket properly and touched Ji Wushan’s arm. Just as she was about to speak, boom.

Ji Wushan, who had still been sitting up, threw herself into her arms.

That completely undid Xue Erbai. She didn’t even know where to put her hands.

She shifted a few times, then finally laid one hand gently on Ji Wushan’s back and coaxed, “Don’t be afraid.”

“I’m here.”

She actually hadn’t known that Ji Wushan was afraid of thunder.

But now that she’d seen it, she couldn’t pretend she didn’t know. And the way Ji Wushan had tucked herself into her arms, quietly lifting her head to look at her, made Xue Erbai’s heart ache terribly.

Her eyes were redder than at any other time.

Including when they went all the way.

The hand on her shoulder wouldn’t stop trembling.

She coaxed and kissed her…

Of course, she kissed her hair and cheek, like soothing a child.

“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared~~”

Gradually, Ji Wushan settled in her arms.

Because she had been buried there for too long, her cheeks had turned a flushed red.

When the thunder finally faded, Ji Wushan’s soft voice came again. “Will it… hurt your shoulder, holding me like this?”

The blush faded a little; instead, because she was afraid of thunder, her face looked even paler.

Xue Erbai tightened her hold and shook her head casually. “It doesn’t hurt. You’re very light.”

Ji Wushan had always been thin.

Or rather, thinner and thinner.

When they met as children, her cheeks still had a little baby fat. Later, when they met again, her features had sharpened; she had grown even prettier, and her temperament had become colder too.

Especially when they were signing the agreement. The first thing Xue Erbai felt when she saw her was surprise, then admiration.

Surprise at Ji Wushan’s change; admiration for her beauty.

Her face was strikingly lovely; her lips were thin, her brows and eyes delicate and slightly upturned. Beneath that chill, there was a trace of barely noticeable charm.

But now she looked fragile.

More fragile than at any other time.

Xue Erbai held her tighter and tighter, almost encircling her completely and pressing her against her chest.

Soon, she heard a muffled sound: “Mm…”

The voice was so soft it was almost impossible to make out: “A little… stuffy.”

Xue Erbai’s figure was very well developed.

Most of the time, she was confident; only in front of Ji Wushan did that confidence dim a little.

Especially on their wedding night, when they had faced each other in silence.

Back then she had been wearing a nightdress more conservative than this one, without an open back—a black V-neck nightdress.

But her frame had broad shoulders, a full chest, a slim waist, and a lifted, rounded backside.

Clothed, it showed. Unclothed, it showed even more. In a nightdress, it was… unspeakable.

When she came out of the bathroom after changing, Ji Wushan only glanced at her once, said nothing, and walked past with her clean clothes in hand.

Her expression never changed; she treated Xue Erbai as though she were air.

Even the atmosphere seemed cold.

Colder than wet hair sticking to her back by a hundred times.

Xue Erbai had ultimately been discouraged. The allure drained away as she slowly walked to the bed and sat down.

Her bed faced the bathroom, and a hazy softness filled the room.

Ji Wushan was a little shorter than her, only by two or three centimeters; at nearly 170 centimeters, she was much thinner, and her figure… was rather graceful.

The more Xue Erbai looked, the more mist seemed to gather before her eyes.

She suddenly felt that she didn’t amount to much.

Especially when she lowered her head and saw that very obvious outline.

She had clearly! Clearly wanted to show off her own womanly figure; even exposing so much had failed to earn a second glance.

Instead!

Instead, that faintly visible shape that revealed nothing had made her heart race!

When Ji Wushan kissed her, even her breathing had been a mess.

How could she be like this now?

She had become the one with a calm face and steady breathing, looking at Ji Wushan as her own more pronounced curves pressed the other woman into muffled discomfort.

And then she blurted, “If it’s stuffy, then get used to it.”

After saying that, she felt guilty and licked her lips, glancing awkwardly at Ji Wushan.

At the Ji Wushan who had turned completely pink.

That trace of guilt vanished completely.

Anyway, they were lawful wives; they’d slept together, touched each other—what was wrong with being a little close?

Besides, being pressed together like this made it feel as if she and Ji Wushan were inseparable.

That feeling was simply too wonderful.

So wonderful that Xue Erbai felt a little dazed.

But Ji Wushan was still insisting, “Can you… kiss me?”

Her eyes were moist, clear, and transparent.

Pure and flawless.

That made Xue Erbai not dare kiss her at all!

And yet she didn’t dare, because she was afraid that the moment she kissed her, things would head in an uncontrollable direction.

Like Ji Wushan discovering that the one lying underneath at all was not her, but the one on top!

Dodging the question a little, she said, “It’s, it’s at my mom’s place; that wouldn’t be good!”

Ji Wushan suddenly understood. “That’s true…”

“I didn’t think it through.”

She swallowed that tiny bit of disappointment deep down.

Her soft, delicate body slowly withdrew.

Though she was pulling away, it still stirred ripples in people’s hearts.

Especially Xue Erbai; she was fuller and firmer, so the sensation was even more intense. With Ji Wushan rubbing against her like that, she nearly couldn’t resist wanting to kiss the red lips Ji Wushan herself had bitten.

Her gaze was no longer under control.

Neither were her movements.

With a trembling hand, she held onto the body that was about to leave and said, “A kiss… wouldn’t be impossible!”

Ji Wushan froze, her eyes trembling.

It was impossible to tell whether she had been stopped by Xue Erbai’s hand or had leaned in on her own.

All Xue Erbai remembered was their breaths tangling, the softness of their scents blending into one.

Xue Erbai kissed her very gently, deliberately avoiding her hand; her own hand circled loosely around Ji Wushan’s wrist.

A little intimate, but not enough.

No one knew who moved first; when the tip of her tongue was pressed, Ji Wushan woke all at once.

Her cheeks were burning.

Looking at Xue Erbai, she was also somewhat hazy, vaguely seeing her lift her chin and lean closer again…

Ji Wushan clenched her teeth and, curious, poked Xue Erbai’s chin. “We… kiss often?”

Xue Erbai, who had been stopped, was a little displeased. Holding her hand, she answered breathlessly, “Not really.”

It was a reflexive answer.

Because she and Ji Wushan really didn’t kiss often, except when their feelings ran deep and Ji Wushan would part her red lips, making Xue Erbai unable to resist wanting to claim them.

They rarely kissed.

So this time, she was left wanting more.

Because it was rare to see Ji Wushan so clear-headed.

She hadn’t expected Ji Wushan to seriously analyze it instead. “Then… are you naturally gifted?”

“Or do you have a lot of kissing experience?”
