Chapter 120
Some things can be learned without a teacher.
Just like now, Zhuang Chi had absolutely no experience with these matters, and even her theoretical knowledge was scant, but she instinctively knew what to do—just like the things she had once thought about during her first susceptible period, when she was provoked by Gu Ximian’s excessive pheromones.
Gu Ximian’s sleep dress was already wrinkled from being kneaded. Zhuang Chi’s thoughts couldn’t quite keep up with her body’s actions. Before she even realized what she was doing, her palms, as if lovingly stuck to her, had already rubbed the cool, pale skin until it grew warm.
The touch under her hands was smooth and delicate. Zhuang Chi quickly grew to like it. The things she had restrained with her reason last time were now rightfully permitted. She heard Gu Ximian’s trembling voice by her ear, already a little unsteady. It made Zhuang Chi’s heart pound so hard it felt like her brain was trembling along with it. In the messy entanglement, the strap of the sleep dress slipped from her shoulder. Zhuang Chi wanted to help Gu Ximian fix it, but both her hands were busy and couldn’t be freed. She subconsciously lowered her head, intending to bite it back into place, but halfway there, she inexplicably changed course, turning it into a sucking kiss on Gu Ximian’s snowy shoulder.
She was very hot, and so was Gu Ximian. Zhuang Chi, dazed and muddle-headed, was somewhat reluctant to pull away. The impulse in her mind to bite down kept urging her on. She was momentarily lost in a daze and gave a light bite, but she quickly retreated, licking the faint tooth mark appeasingly. She felt as if the snow-like, delicate skin could even taste sweet, making her unable to resist holding the person in her arms even tighter.
This is terrible. Zhuang Chi thought vaguely. It’s like… I can’t get enough.
She had suddenly developed a sweet tooth. Zhuang Chi kissed her way upward, her warm breath puffing against the side of Gu Ximian’s neck as she planted one kiss after another, trying to force out the sounds Gu Ximian was intentionally suppressing. Yet, when she heard them, she still didn’t feel satisfied. Instead, it was like adding firewood to a flame, making the heat in her heart burn ever hotter.
Zhuang Chi kissed Gu Ximian deeply, wanting her to make a sound, yet also wanting to swallow all her fragmented noises. She just felt that she could never get enough and wanted more. It was Gu Ximian who couldn’t take it first. Zhuang Chi was indeed being a little too insistent. Gu Ximian couldn’t catch her breath, and after a few times, she whimpered and lightly pounded on Zhuang Chi’s shoulder. The force was very light, like a kitten’s, but it startled Zhuang Chi awake at once, and she pulled back in a bit of a panic.
Gu Ximian leaned softly against her shoulder, panting lightly, each breath tugging at Zhuang Chi’s heart. But a sense of self-reflection arose in her first. Gu Ximian was soft yet slender in her arms, so endearing that it seemed she would break with a little more force. Zhuang Chi thought, for a Gu Ximian as white as porcelain, she should treat her more carefully.
The emotions during a susceptible period were truly difficult to control. The bit of attention Zhuang Chi managed to spare was all focused on whether her every move just now had seemed too impatient. She suddenly felt as if she had become a lecherous person, and along with self-blame, a sense of self-loathing emerged. She hung her head dejectedly and mumbled an apology to Gu Ximian: “...I’m sorry, I was too hasty just now…”
Gu Ximian hadn’t even caught her breath when she heard her Alpha’s mood suddenly plummet. She was clearly the one who had been kissed until she was dizzy and breathless, yet right now, Zhuang Chi looked more like the one who had been bullied. Gu Ximian probably knew that an Alpha’s mind was delicate during their susceptible period, so she endured her shyness and soothingly kissed the corner of Zhuang Chi’s lips, saying in a warm voice, “It’s okay, don’t apologize, I wasn’t uncomfortable…”
Hearing this, Zhuang Chi was still a little worried. She looked at Gu Ximian uneasily. “Then… should I be a little slower?”
Even though they were already so intimate, Gu Ximian’s face still burned when she heard such a seemingly suggestive question. Fortunately, she could still hide it from Zhuang Chi by keeping a straight face. She dodged the question and replied, “...It’s still what I said before, you can do whatever you want.”
Even so… Zhuang Chi thought for a long while, then gently shook her head. “But the things I want to do… I also want to know if you like them.”
“So sometimes I still want to ask,” Zhuang Chi said, tentatively hooking her finger and whispering, “For example, your sleep dress… should I take it off?”
She paused, then obediently added in a small, soft voice, “...I’m worried I’ll rip it.”
Gu Ximian’s heart skipped a beat. The ambiguous sensation of fingers gently stroking her was transmitted, making her press her lips together in forbearance. To be honest, suddenly asking this question now was a bit like mending the pen after the sheep have already escaped. After all, things had already come to this point. Zhuang Chi’s scorching heat had long since sapped the strength from every part of her body. If one were to find a more direct reason for Zhuang Chi’s question now—it was indeed because it was inconvenient for Zhuang Chi’s hand to move any further up, and it was quite possible that she really would rip the sleep dress.
Flustered by this thought until her face burned, Gu Ximian bit her lower lip. Pitifully, for a smart person like her, she couldn’t think of any answer to give to this question at this moment. But Zhuang Chi’s mood was quickly affected by her continued silence, and she rapidly grew dejected. Gu Ximian could almost visualize her lover’s ears and tail drooping together. The person’s eyes were already red, and the voice she heard became muffled. “...I guess I was too hasty after all. It’s okay if you don’t indulge me…”
An Alpha in their susceptible period is sometimes really… or rather, Zhuang Chi in her susceptible period is sometimes really hard to deal with…!
In the end, worried that Zhuang Chi would truly misunderstand that she was unwilling, Gu Ximian closed her eyes in resignation. Giving up, she grabbed Zhuang Chi’s hand, peeled it from her waist, and placed it at her collar.
“...Help me take it off.”
Her voice was soft, like an invitation to open a gift.
Zhuang Chi liked to hug.
Of course, she liked any form of contact with Gu Ximian, but among them, hugging was special. It allowed her to be pressed against Gu Ximian to the greatest extent, the most intimate of positions.
And now, they were embracing and entwined like this, as if newly born.
Their pheromones had completely blended together, mixed to the point of being inseparable, as if stirring the air until it grew thick and warm. Zhuang Chi held Gu Ximian tightly, planting one scorching kiss after another, murmuring, “You’re so pale…”
It was true. Gu Ximian was like the bright moonlight, held in her arms like this. Everywhere she touched was soft and delicate. Zhuang Chi couldn’t bear to let go. Her free palm slid down bit by bit from top to bottom as she rested against Gu Ximian’s neck and whispered, “...You’re so beautiful, Gu Ximian…”
Her thoughts were long since unclear. Zhuang Chi spoke only from instinct, her heart about to overflow with love that she just wanted to declare out loud. But it caused Gu Ximian to tremble with every word. After all, she wasn't in her susceptible period. No matter how lost in passion she was, she still retained some rationality. She couldn’t help but try to cover Zhuang Chi’s mouth, saying through gritted teeth, “Don’t say any more…”
She wanted to say something intimidating, but her voice was so soft it sounded more like a flustered pout, not enough to scare Zhuang Chi at all. Her Alpha looked at her with a pair of moist, hazy eyes and obediently leaned in to kiss her palm. Gu Ximian’s bit of resistance was easily crushed by this kiss. Her hand was caught and kissed all the way from the palm to the wrist, where the thin skin revealed faint blue veins, which Zhuang Chi kissed lovingly again and again.
“Gu Ximian…” Zhuang Chi didn’t stop as Gu Ximian had asked this time, mainly because she realized Gu Ximian didn’t truly want to refuse her. She still wanted to talk, there was so much she wanted to say, so she followed her heart and sighed softly, “You’re too thin, you should eat more…”
It was a very sincere, completely unfeigned concern, but in the current context, it inevitably took on an ambiguous and romantic color. Gu Ximian shot her a soft glare. Zhuang Chi was a little baffled. She leaned forward to kiss her, her hand exploring a place that was extremely wet. She felt Gu Ximian tremble as if she were about to melt in her hand.
“I like you…” Zhuang Chi murmured, then lowered her head to nuzzle Gu Ximian’s neck with the tip of her nose, speaking with great solemnity into her ear, “...I like you so much, Gu Ximian.”
Gu Ximian couldn’t speak. It was as if a white light flashed before her eyes for an instant, and then her body tensed uncontrollably. The accumulated pleasure caused a slight ringing in her ears. She whimpered and went limp in Zhuang Chi’s arms. She couldn’t hear clearly, but she urgently turned her head to find her lover’s lips, giving a muffled response between their joined lips and tongues, all of which was swallowed up, exchanged for Zhuang Chi’s soft coaxing.
The sudden warmth would trick the winter-enduring flowers into blooming. Zhuang Chi knew she was losing some control. Her body was hot, and her eyes and heart were just as hot. She couldn’t help but make the delicate white flower in her arms bloom again and again, watching as the corners of Gu Ximian’s long, elegant eyes were stained with a crimson so delicate it couldn’t be touched, watching as Gu Ximian completely shed her dishonest shell and was coaxed into making more sounds, watching as Gu Ximian arched her neck in distress, as helpless and moving as a swan. She felt as if her own pupils were about to dilate, turning completely into the blackness of ink.
Never before had she been this close to completely losing control. Zhuang Chi panted deeply, properly catching her exhausted lover and holding her in her arms. She softly called her name, Gu Ximian, Gu Ximian, one call for every kiss, until her lover, as if annoyed, opened her eyes and raised a hand to lightly pinch her cheek.
Almost everything that needed to be done was done, with only the last thing left undone. Both of them knew this very well.
Zhuang Chi looked at Gu Ximian and saw tacit permission in those beautiful, misty eyes. She held her breath slightly. Her body moved to lower her head, but she didn’t immediately bury her face in Gu Ximian’s neck. Instead, she first touched their foreheads together.
“...Gu Ximian, there’s something I forgot to tell you before.”
Her originally chaotic thoughts strangely found a sliver of clarity at this moment. Perhaps it was the trough of her susceptible period. Zhuang Chi seized the opportunity and said softly, “Even if I mark you, I won’t have any control over you, let alone be able to command you.”
Seeing a trace of confusion flash in Gu Ximian’s eyes, Zhuang Chi pressed her lips together, suppressing her anxiously accelerating heartbeat, and continued, “...My mark will only have the effect of helping you during your susceptible period.”
“You see, didn’t my gland get injured before? The doctor told me about this back then, I just forgot to tell you.”
She saw Gu Ximian frown, as if wanting to ask something, so she rushed to add before Gu Ximian could, “Besides… you’re an S-class Omega, so it’s normal to have this kind of special treatment…”
Only after saying it did she feel that last sentence was a bit superfluous, too much like a hastily found excuse to support her argument. Zhuang Chi stopped talking in annoyance. After a long silence, she looked at Gu Ximian, who was staring at her without blinking, and said in a warm voice, “What I’m saying is true, believe me, okay?”
—As long as you believe me. These words will become true.
The unspoken subtext was stuck in her throat, hidden in her eyes. Zhuang Chi quietly looked at Gu Ximian. She knew her lover was a very smart person. Even in such a muddled state of mind, she would undoubtedly hear the numerous flaws in her words, but—
“...Mm.” Gu Ximian was actually very tired by now, but Zhuang Chi’s embrace was warm and comfortable, making her feel at ease. So she leaned back more relaxedly, gently raised a hand to rub the tense corner of her lover’s lips, and softly replied, “I believe you.”
—But Gu Ximian would choose to believe her, and that was enough.
Zhuang Chi smiled, but her eyes reddened uncontrollably. This time she couldn’t hold it back. As she blinked, tears fell, landing on Gu Ximian’s fingertips which were still resting on the corner of her lips. It was such a hot teardrop, so hot that Gu Ximian’s fingers recoiled, but they quickly rose again to wipe away the wet tears from the corners of Zhuang Chi’s eyes.
Once she started crying, she couldn’t stop. Zhuang Chi didn’t know why she was crying so miserably. She felt that there definitely wasn’t another Alpha in this world who would act as pathetic as she did at a time like this. A single sentence was broken several times by sobs, unable to be finished. “Gu Ximian, can I… can I…”
Gu Ximian looked at Zhuang Chi, at her reddened eyes and the endless tears, and in a daze, she felt as if Zhuang Chi was crying for her.
“I already said…” A loving sigh was held between her lips and teeth. Gu Ximian placed a kiss on Zhuang Chi’s eyelid, tasting the slightly salty tears, then guided her to her neck and said softly, “You can do whatever you want.”
Zhuang Chi trembled as she held Gu Ximian tightly. She was quiet for a long time, and then she bit down.
Her canines pierced with precision. Zhuang Chi was unwilling to use an ounce of extra force on Gu Ximian, and she did it well, completing the once-in-a-lifetime permanent mark quickly and flawlessly. It was hard to describe the feeling. It was as if in an instant she had become the richest person in the world, her body and soul violently filled by a wind passing through a hall, her mind swelling with the satisfaction of having obtained something. But Zhuang Chi quickly dispelled that feeling and looked up at Gu Ximian, her voice changing pitch with nervousness. “Are you okay?”
Gu Ximian didn’t respond right away. She stared downward in a daze for a long while before looking at Zhuang Chi, who was already on the verge of tears from anxiety again. She was a little confused, but she first leaned over to soothingly kiss her anxious lover, then murmured, “...What you said just now… it’s actually true…”
The moment her gland was actually bitten, it was as if she had been suddenly thrown high into the air, then dropped heavily without any support.
A heart-pounding feeling of weightlessness, as if she would fall endlessly, made Gu Ximian uncontrollably feel fear. But it only lasted for a brief moment. Because Gu Ximian quickly discovered, quickly realized—
She was held securely in Zhuang Chi’s arms, and she landed lightly.
