Chapter 29: Compensation. (Includes Bonus Update)

"Can I kiss you?"

In the silent night, Ye Jiayuan’s voice held a faint teasing lilt—low and magnetic, with an almost imperceptible pull that made Fu Chaoying shiver all over.

Fu Chaoying could only feel their warm bodies pressed close together. Ye Jiayuan’s faint fragrance filled her nose, and her breathing quickened.

Fu Chaoying’s throat bobbed. In a low voice, she said, "Aunt Chu and Cousin are on the second floor too."

Ye Jiayuan gave a soft laugh. "So what?"

Her tone was light, but the dominance in it made Fu Chaoying’s heart skip.

Before Fu Chaoying could react, she heard a rustle, followed by the sound of the door locking. The next second, her back hit the cold door panel, and she found herself trapped in Ye Jiayuan’s arms.

Ye Jiayuan’s eyes darkened. She leaned close to Fu Chaoying’s ear and whispered, her breath fragrant as orchids, "And now?"

The end of her words seemed to carry a hint of enchantment, like a feather brushing across the longing hidden in Fu Chaoying’s heart.

Now that the door was locked, Fu Chaoying could no longer hold herself back. She lifted her arms around Ye Jiayuan’s neck, rose slightly onto her toes, and took the initiative to kiss her lips.

Just like their first drunken night in the rain, there was a hint of tentative exploration. But this time, Fu Chaoying was completely sober, and Ye Jiayuan was already her girlfriend.

With a flash of mischief, Fu Chaoying pressed her lips against hers. The moment their mouths met, two warm, strong hands settled at her waist, gently stroking her through the thin fabric of her nightgown.

Their breathing grew slightly ragged. Even the air seemed to heat up, and the ambiguous atmosphere spread through the dark room.

Fu Chaoying’s heart stirred. She slipped out the tip of her tongue and carefully entered the space between Ye Jiayuan’s lips—those lips she had traced with her eyes countless times, lips that carried a heavy, ascetic air.

The instant Ye Jiayuan parted her teeth, Fu Chaoying nimbly slipped in, seeking out her tongue to tangle with.

When their tongues touched, it was like an electric current shooting through her entire body. Fu Chaoying trembled faintly.

The hands at her waist tightened, and one palm slowly slid upward to the back of her neck, gently stroking her skin. It was light as a feather, yet laced with deadly temptation.

Fu Chaoying was stroked until her whole body went weak and numb. She unconsciously leaned back, nearly losing the strength to stand. The initiative had been completely taken over by Ye Jiayuan.

Ye Jiayuan hooked her tongue, sucking and teasing it, sometimes gentle and probing, sometimes overbearing and plundering.

Her kiss was tender yet invasive, carrying an almost imperceptible possessiveness.

The air in the bedroom seemed to freeze. Fu Chaoying felt the tip of her tongue go slightly numb, and even her throat began to dry.

The sensation between their lips was too real; the breathing growing steadily heavier by her ear was like a catalyst, quietly igniting some indescribable longing deep in her heart.

Fu Chaoying let out a restrained gasp. Just as she instinctively wanted to respond to the kiss, she suddenly heard two familiar women’s voices talking outside the door.

Fu Chaoying’s heart jolted. Her tongue stiffened slightly, and her mind cleared in an instant. The arms around Ye Jiayuan’s neck hurriedly moved to push at her shoulders, but she still couldn’t get her off her.

It was as if the conversation outside had become some kind of stimulant, making Ye Jiayuan’s sucking and plundering even more wanton.

And the hand that had been resting gently at her waist also grew restless. Through the nightgown, it softly kneaded and stroked her skin.

That faint, almost nonexistent touch made Fu Chaoying tremble even more uncontrollably.

Fu Chaoying let out a suppressed breath. Just as she felt she was about to suffocate, Ye Jiayuan finally let her go.

Fu Chaoying weakly clung to her shoulder, gasping for air and trying hard to steady her chaotic breathing. But then she was drawn back into Ye Jiayuan’s embrace, her softness pressing against her own and making the longing in her heart deepen even more.

"Sis..." The moment Fu Chaoying spoke, she realized her voice had gone hoarse, and she couldn’t help but startle a little. Then she heard a low laugh by her ear. "Mm?"

The conversation outside continued, but Ye Jiayuan’s slightly husky voice by her ear, full of irresistible sex appeal, was even more captivating.

Fu Chaoying’s throat moved. She forced herself to take deep breaths, trying to calm her wildly pounding heart.

Ye Jiayuan gently stroked her back, then lifted a hand to rub the back of her neck. "Calling me sister—what do you want?"

What did she want... Would she give it to her?

Fu Chaoying wrapped her arms around her waist, buried her face in the crook of her neck, and felt the heat burning there. She didn’t say anything, only called to her in a coaxing voice, "Sister..."

Before the word even fully left her lips, she heard a sudden knock on the bedroom door. The sharp "knock, knock, knock" in the silent night sounded like a death knell, pounding painfully against her eardrums.

Fu Chaoying’s body stiffened at once, and the dazed look in her eyes sharpened a little.

Ye Jiayuan quickly let her go, then lifted a hand to tap on and switch on the bedroom ceiling light.

In an instant, the entire room was flooded with light, scattering all traces of the lingering mood.

Fu Chaoying looked at Ye Jiayuan, but somehow her expression had already returned to calm, as if the person who had just been coaxing her moments ago had never been her at all.

"Xiaoying." Fu Anyun’s voice came from outside the door.

But Ye Jiayuan’s eyes held only Fu Chaoying, whose nightgown collar was a mess, whose lip corners glistened with wet traces, and whose eyes were slightly moist.

Ye Jiayuan’s gaze deepened. She gently wiped away the moisture at the corner of Fu Chaoying’s mouth, then turned and slipped smoothly into the bathroom.

Fu Chaoying quickly straightened herself out, cleared her throat, and then, rubbing her eyes, opened the bedroom door.

Fu Anyun looked at her slightly "blurry" eyes. "You just woke up?"

Fu Chaoying gave a soft mm, then asked, "What’s wrong, Aunt?"

Her tone was just sleepy enough to be convincing; as she spoke, she even yawned, wanting to make herself seem more believable.

Fu Anyun looked at her drowsy eyes and asked gently, "Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you’re free next weekend to accompany your cousin on her graduation trip to Gangcheng."

Fu Chaoying’s heart gave a jolt, but on the surface she asked calmly, "Gangcheng?"

Seeing that she didn’t answer right away, Fu Anyun added, "I happen to know a few people there. You can also see if there are any artists you can collaborate with."

That barely counted as a work trip. Fu Chaoying curved her lips into a smile. "Sure."

After reminding her of a few things, Fu Anyun said, "Oh, right, is Xiaoyuan in Gang right now? I’ll go tell her."

With that, she turned and headed for Ye Jiayuan’s room.

Fu Chaoying’s heartbeat suddenly skipped. Her mind raced, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Fu Anyun say, "Forget it, it’s too late. I’ll tell her tomorrow."

Fu Chaoying quietly let out a breath and smiled. "Good night, Aunt!"

Fu Anyun looked at her smiling face and waved back. "Go in and get some rest quickly."

The moment Fu Chaoying closed the door, she saw Ye Jiayuan coming out of the bathroom.

Interrupted by Fu Anyun and now under bright light, all traces of their earlier intimacy had vanished.

Ye Jiayuan had fully returned to her calm, reserved expression. She walked slowly toward Fu Chaoying and said softly, "Welcome to Gangcheng."

A mischievous glint flashed through Fu Chaoying’s brows and eyes. She lightly tugged at Ye Jiayuan’s sleeve. "Not just me—Cousin is coming too."

Ye Jiayuan paused, then said in a low voice, "But I’m only welcoming you."

Fu Chaoying thought of a certain possibility, and a small smile rose to her lips as she took Ye Jiayuan’s hand.

"Get some rest early. Good night," Ye Jiayuan said in a deep voice.

The moment Ye Jiayuan’s hand touched the doorknob, Fu Chaoying lightly tugged at her wrist again. "Sister..."

Ye Jiayuan stopped. "Mm?"

Fu Chaoying rose slightly onto her toes and kissed the corner of her lips, then pulled away at once. "Goodnight kiss."

Ye Jiayuan looked at her, her eyes deepening. A few seconds later, reason pulled her back.

"Good night." The words were barely out before Ye Jiayuan turned the doorknob.

As she turned to leave, her gaze swept over the collar of Fu Chaoying’s nightgown.

Fu Chaoying lay on the bed, catching her breath, while countless scenes flashed through her mind. She couldn’t help closing her eyes to savor that scorching kiss from just now.

The sticky sensation in a certain place dragged her reason back. Fu Chaoying sat up, took a clean set of underwear from the wardrobe, and went into the bathroom.

After changing and coming back out, Fu Chaoying shook her head. She couldn’t keep thinking about this. Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

Listening to a meditation video on a certain platform meant to help with sleep, Fu Chaoying’s thoughts gradually wandered again, filling up with Ye Jiayuan.

It felt as though Ye Jiayuan’s warmth and strength still remained around her waist; her tongue was still slightly numb. Fu Chaoying took two deep breaths, then simply got out of bed, found a certain toy buried deep in the wardrobe, and disinfected it.

This was the first time she had ever given herself release with vivid images in her head.

After a long while, accompanied by a bout of trembling and gasping, Fu Chaoying’s drowsiness finally crept in.

*

The next morning, Fu Chaoying was, unsurprisingly, woken by Aunt Fu.

The moment her mind cleared, she still felt a certain part of her body sending up an unmistakable strange sensation.

Fu Chaoying quickly got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face to force herself awake.

But when she looked in the mirror, her face was tinged with an unnatural flush.

So embarrassing. She and Ye Jiayuan had only just confirmed their relationship not long ago—how could she already...

Fu Chaoying spent over ten minutes calming herself down.

When she finished washing up and went downstairs, she found the living room extremely lively; Aunt Chu was there too.

When Aunt Chu saw her come down, she smiled. "Xiaoying is awake? Why not sleep a little longer?"

Fu Chaoying and Ye Jiayuan’s gazes crossed in midair, then both looked away unnaturally. She smiled at Aunt Chu and said, "Early to bed and early to rise is good for the body."

Fu Chaoying sat down beside her cousin, across from Ye Jiayuan.

Aunt Chu asked about her recent situation, and Fu Chaoying answered one by one.

Fu Chaoying tried hard not to look at Ye Jiayuan, but then heard Aunt Chu say, "You’ve really gone to a lot of trouble for our Xiaoying; Xiaoyuan even ran to your place to hide from my matchmaking."

Aunt Chu then shot Ye Jiayuan a reproachful look. "And you still have the nerve to drag your younger sister into it."

Ye Jiayuan gave a slight nod. "You should teach me more often, and keep in touch with a few more younger sisters."

Aunt Chu choked, then reproached her again, "You always think you’re right."

Fu Chaoying gave a faint smile to smooth things over. "Why would Aunt say that? Back when I was in Jiujiapo, Sister Jiayuan took very good care of me."

Only, she had been cared for all the way to... the bed.

As she spoke, Fu Chaoying glanced at Ye Jiayuan. The other woman looked back too, and for a moment their eyes met.

Last night’s scene flashed through her mind. Fu Chaoying felt her cheeks heat slightly and immediately looked away.

After chatting for a few more rounds, Chu Yiyun invited them all to return to the Ye family together; the two families hadn’t gathered in a long time, and this time there were finally enough people.

Fu Anyun, representing Fu Chaoying and Fu Chaohua, agreed on their behalf at once, and Aunt Chu was overjoyed.

After breakfast, Ye Jiayuan went upstairs to get her suitcase.

Fu Chaoying only glanced at her from the corner of her eye, then was warmly pulled into the living room by Aunt Chu, who dragged her into conversation.

Fu Chaoying smiled and made polite small talk with her, but inwardly she suddenly felt disappointed. After Aunt Chu and her aunt had exposed it, how could Ye Jiayuan still use "avoiding blind dates" as an excuse to stay at her house in the future?

The group set off back to the Ye family.

To avoid suspicion, Fu Chaoying drove her own car; however, someone opened the passenger-side door. Her heart fluttered, and when she looked up, she saw it was her cousin Fu Chaohua.

"I didn’t want to ride with my mom, so I’m catching a ride with you."

Fu Chaoying composed herself and smiled. "Perfect. I was afraid I’d be lonely on the road."

Fu Chaohua chuckled, then said, "My mom asked about your relationship with Sister Jiayuan."

Fu Chaoying hadn’t even put the car in gear; hearing that, she froze slightly, then blinked and said with feigned ease, "How did you answer, sis?"

"I said..." Fu Chaohua laughed softly. "I said Sister Jiayuan doesn’t really like talking to people, and that your relationship is just average."

Fu Chaoying also laughed a little. "Sister Jiayuan... that’s true."

Fu Chaohua teased, "True what? True that she’s... very special to you?"

Fu Chaoying shook her head lightly. "How could that be."

The car rolled forward slowly, following the one in front.

When they reached the Ye residence, Chu Yiyun called everyone to play a round of Guandan together.

Ye Jiayuan had never taken part in this kind of entertainment; she only went to the study to work.

Fu Chaoying pressed her lips together. Their rare time alone had been interrupted so abruptly.

As they chatted, Fu Anyun suddenly remembered the collaboration project Ye Jiayuan had introduced to Fu Chaoying last time. "How’s that going?"

Fu Chaoying suddenly remembered she had forgotten to reply to Dong Shijie’s WeChat.

She smiled. "It’s been too busy this week; we’ve already set up a proper discussion at their company next week."

Chu Yiyun said happily, "Xiaoyuan used to be in Jiujiapo and Gangcheng; she didn’t pay enough attention to these younger girls before."

"Her business focus shifted a bit this year; it’s only right that she pays more attention to Xiaoying and the others."

Fu Chaoying smiled faintly and, without the slightest awkwardness, changed the subject. "Dong Shijie just happened to ask me and Sister Jiayuan to go back to Nanda together. I wonder if Sister Jiayuan is free tonight."

Chu Yiyun and Fu Anyun both knew Dong Muyu; she was the youngest granddaughter of Teacher Bai Youqing.

When Chu Yiyun heard this, she asked in surprise, "What do you think of that Little Dong? Does she match Xiaoyuan?"

A question mark flashed through Fu Chaoying’s mind, but she still answered evasively. "Dong Shijie seems pretty good, but I’ve only met her once."

Chu Yiyun’s eyes darted. "Then what does Xiaoyuan think of her?"

Fu Chaoying felt a touch of helplessness, though she didn’t show it. She only smiled and said, "You’ll have to ask Sister Jiayuan yourself; she doesn’t tell me these things."

Chu Yiyun made up her mind. "Then I’ll ask her in a bit."

Fu Chaoying pressed her lips together and said nothing more.

A trace of displeasure flashed through Fu Anyun’s eyes, then disappeared.

By lunchtime, Chu Yiyun really brought it up. "Xiaoying said the granddaughter of Old Madam Bai invited the two of you back to Nanda tonight. Are you free or not?"

Ye Jiayuan looked at Fu Chaoying without saying a word, then gave a slight nod.

"I’ve met Little Dong; she has a good personality and she’s pretty too." Chu Yiyun probed, "What do you think of her?"

Fu Chaohua heard this and let her gaze move between Fu Chaoying and Ye Jiayuan before finally resting on the latter. She saw Ye Jiayuan answer blandly, "Not bad."

Fu Chaoying looked up at her, only to hear her say lightly, "I don’t like girls like that."

The instant Chu Yiyun heard that, her temper flared. She set down her chopsticks at once. "Then tell me what kind you do like. Mom can introduce someone to you."

"Look at Aunt Fu; she has a wide network too. She can introduce someone to you as well."

Fu Anyun also smiled and added her two cents.

Chu Yiyun dragged the younger generation into it too. "If that doesn’t work, there are also Xiaoying and Xiaohua’s classmates and friends."

Fu Chaoying let out a barely audible sigh. Following everyone’s gaze, she looked at Ye Jiayuan, only to hear her answer with a faint smile, "I already have someone in mind. You don’t need to worry."

Fu Chaoying’s brows and eyes quietly curved; she heard Chu Yiyun ask excitedly, one question after another.

Ye Jiayuan naturally said nothing.

Although Chu Yiyun didn’t show it on her face, she was worried inside; could Xiaoyuan have casually made up a person just to deal with her?

But Fu Anyun’s heart sank. She glanced expressionlessly at her daughter, who was buried in her food.

It was a meal eaten with each person harboring their own thoughts.

In the afternoon, they didn’t play cards again; the group sat in the courtyard drinking tea.

After lunch, Ye Jiayuan had naturally returned to the study.

Fu Chaohua whispered to Fu Chaoying, "Are you familiar with Little Dong?"

The question sounded like gossip, but also like she was asking for information.

A thought flashed through Fu Chaoying’s mind. She smiled lightly. "Sis, do you want to go with us tonight?"

Fu Chaohua paused, then lowered her head and took a sip of tea. "We’re not familiar; it’d be pretty awkward even if we went."

Her tone was a little awkward.

Fu Chaoying found it even more suspicious and smiled. "Dong Shijie has a really good personality; it definitely won’t be awkward."

Fu Chaohua thought for a moment and relented. "I’ll see whether my mom wants me to go."

Fu Chaoying thought to herself that Fu Anyun was probably dying for her to go along.

Sure enough, when Fu Chaoying and Ye Jiayuan were about to leave in the afternoon, Fu Anyun suggested at the right moment, "Sis, why don’t you come with us? You can show us around while you’re at it~"

Fu Chaohua shifted her gaze to Fu Anyun, seeking her opinion.

Fu Anyun quickly nodded. "You girls go have fun. Your Aunt Chu and I can just watch a TV drama together."

Fu Chaoying paid attention to her aunt’s expression and tone, and a hint of amusement flashed through her eyes.

The three of them went together in Ye Jiayuan’s car.

Ye Jiayuan politely took the front passenger seat, while the two Fu sisters sat in the back.

Fu Chaoying and her cousin subtly steered the conversation toward Dong Muyu, but Fu Chaohua then changed the subject again.

Fu Chaoying sensibly didn’t bring it up any further, but she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Ye Jiayuan had her eyes closed, resting.

They hadn’t found a chance to be alone all day. Fu Chaoying pressed her lips together.

When the three of them arrived at Nanda’s underground parking lot, Dong Muyu was already waiting. But when she saw the person getting out of the back seat, her expression froze slightly; very quickly, however, she lifted the corners of her lips.

"Ms. Ye."

"Teacher Fu." Dong Muyu shook hands with the two of them one by one, then naturally walked over to Fu Chaohua. "Senior Fu, long time no see."

Fu Chaohua also smiled at her. "Muyu, long time no see."

Fu Chaohua and Dong Muyu naturally caught up while Fu Chaoying and Ye Jiayuan exchanged a silent look.

Fu Chaoying coughed lightly. "Sis, do you want to take me around the school?"

Fu Chaohua chuckled and agreed.

The four of them walked out together. Fu Chaoying quietly took the mask from her bag and handed it to Ye Jiayuan.

Ye Jiayuan lowered her eyes slightly and took it without a word; a trace of barely noticeable amusement flashed in her gaze.

Dong Muyu noticed and smiled. "Ms. Ye should wear that well. Otherwise, there’ll probably be a lot of little junior sisters swarming you later."

Ye Jiayuan replied flatly, "Not at all."

Fu Chaoying’s brows and eyes curved. "Senior Dong should wear one too; after all, you were the School of Computer Science’s goddess back then."

Ye Jiayuan glanced at her expressionlessly, her eyes darkening slightly with some unreadable emotion.

Fu Chaoying noticed her gaze and stuck out her tongue a little before closing her mouth.

Fu Chaoying watched Dong Muyu and Fu Chaohua chatting beside her. They both seemed perfectly normal, yet Fu Chaoying somehow felt the atmosphere between them was a little subtle.

Fu Chaoying turned her attention back to them, and suddenly felt her left hand lightly taken. It tightened for a moment, then let go.

It was Ye Jiayuan.

Fu Chaoying’s heart trembled. She secretly looked up and saw that Ye Jiayuan was staring straight ahead, her expression calm, as if the small movement had only been her imagination.

Fu Chaoying’s brows and eyes curved slightly. She pretended nothing was wrong and chatted with Fu Chaohua and Dong Muyu, but her mind had already flown elsewhere; she had no idea what they were saying.

"Which restaurant did Junior Sister go to last time?" Dong Muyu’s voice suddenly rang out, pulling her thoughts back.

Fu Chaoying blinked, a little dazed. "Huh? What?"

Dong Muyu smiled and repeated herself.

Fu Chaoying smiled faintly. "The Hunan stir-fry place in the back street."

Once Dong Muyu and Fu Chaoying got to talking, she shifted the topic to the cooperation between the two companies and agreed to discuss it in detail next Tuesday.

Fu Chaoying tried several times to steer the topic toward Fu Chaohua, but to no avail.

Fu Chaohua also chimed in a few times from time to time, but Ye Jiayuan remained silent the entire time.

Fu Chaoying smiled. "Senior Dong should talk more with Ms. Ye about your company’s project."

After all, Ye Jiayuan was the investor.

As she spoke, Fu Chaoying’s gaze naturally fell on Ye Jiayuan, only to see that Ye Jiayuan was looking ahead and hadn’t turned her eyes toward her.

Dong Muyu gave a casual laugh. "We already showed our maximum sincerity last time; Ms. Ye will definitely recognize talent when she sees it."

"If she doesn’t end up investing in us, that can only mean we didn’t do a good enough job."

Ye Jiayuan gave a slight nod and said calmly, "There should be a result by next week."

The group headed toward the back street.

After an ordinary meal, Dong Muyu invited everyone to the lakeside to listen to a student music performance.

By the time they got back into the car, it was already almost nine.

"Xiaoying, Muyu really seems like she wants to work with you," Fu Chaohua said with a smile.

That sounded like... Fu Chaoying looked at Ye Jiayuan without making a sound. She saw that Ye Jiayuan’s gaze had drifted out the window, as if she weren’t interested in their topic at all.

Fu Chaoying shook her head. "She’s more interested in ink painting; she just wants to make the game well."

Fu Chaohua gave a slight nod and said no more.

The car fell into a somewhat subtle silence.

Fu Chaoying glanced at Ye Jiayuan’s profile, then gently closed her eyes.

When they got home, Chu Yiyun and Fu Anyun were still awake. Seeing the few of them return, they pulled them over to ask about how the evening had gone.

Fu Chaoying answered carefully, and Chu Yiyun tugged her aside, asking in a low voice, "Do you know what your Sister Jiayuan’s relationship status is? Does she already have a girlfriend, or is she still in that ambiguous stage?"

Noticing Ye Jiayuan’s sweeping gaze, Fu Chaoying could only smile helplessly and shake her head, sidestepping the question. "Aunt Chu, Sister Jiayuan is so capable; she’ll definitely think carefully about such a major life decision herself."

Chu Yiyun shook her head in disappointment. "Looks like you don’t know either."

Finally done with the conversation, Chu Yiyun urged them to go back, wash up, and rest.

Fu Chaoying walked into the bedroom, about to take out her phone and message Ye Jiayuan, when she saw a line sitting quietly in WeChat: [After you finish showering, come to my room. The door isn’t locked.]

Last night’s scene flashed through her mind all at once. Fu Chaoying’s throat moved, and she sent her back an emoji.

Fu Chaoying took rose-scented fragrance and chewing gum from her travel bag, then opened the wardrobe. Seeing only long-sleeved sleepwear inside, she slowly shook her head.

She went into the bathroom, carefully showered and washed her hair, then sprayed on the rose fragrance and, after washing up, chewed a peach-flavored piece of gum.

Once everything was ready, Fu Chaoying felt as though her heart might leap straight out of her chest.

She quietly opened the bedroom door and looked around. Seeing no one, she finally relaxed and walked to Ye Jiayuan’s bedroom door, gently turning the knob.

The moment she opened the door, she didn’t fall into Ye Jiayuan’s arms as she had expected.

Instead, she only saw Ye Jiayuan sitting by the window and working. When she noticed Fu Chaoying enter, she said calmly, "You’re here. Sit down first."

Ye Jiayuan’s expression was so calm it was as if she had called her over to discuss business.

Fu Chaoying blinked and walked over to sit beside her, preparing to wait quietly until she finished her work.

But a few seconds later, she was suddenly lifted around the waist and placed on her lap.

Fu Chaoying let out a soft cry. By the time she reacted, she was already sitting on Ye Jiayuan’s lap.

Ye Jiayuan’s expression remained calm, as though carrying her over was as natural as breathing.

Fu Chaoying pressed her lips together and called softly, "Sister?"

The moment the word fell, lips suddenly came close. Fu Chaoying leaned forward too, only to find that the kiss didn’t land on her lips, but on her neck instead.

Fu Chaoying’s neck was extremely sensitive. Feeling the wet heat of Ye Jiayuan’s tongue there, she couldn’t help trembling all over.

Fu Chaoying’s ears were wrapped in the ambiguous brush of her breath. A slight sting suddenly spread across her neck, and then she heard Ye Jiayuan’s voice turn slightly hoarse—

"You didn’t get to hug me all day today. How are you planning to make it up to me?"
