On one side, Gu Xizhi almost collapsed due to the torment, but on the other side, Qu Xizhi has been constantly thinking about one thing.
After continuing to "work" hard, she heard a few moans from her as expected. Qu Xizhi's lips reluctantly left her, and she raised her head to look at her frowning.
"Xiao Jing..."
Gu Xizhi, who was finally let go, found a moment to give her body a chance to breathe and slowly opened her eyes. The color in her eyes was even hazier than before.
Gu Xizhi's intuition told her that calling her at this time couldn't be for anything good. So she simply ignored her.
Qu Xizhi didn't mind whether she responded or not, just looking into her eyes was enough, "Do you like me*?" As if afraid she wouldn't understand, she gently kissed her lips.
T/N: Miss Qu didn't particularly say 'me', like how some languages can have truncated subjects. What she said was more like 'Do (you) like?' so it left more ambiguity. So I was confused if she was asking if Miss Gu liked what she was doing or something else, but it became clearer in the succeeding paragraphs.
Gu Xizhi was half-dead from her torment, and her resentment toward her was not enough. She had no intention of giving in to her wishes.
"I don't like you..." Gu Xizhi turned away to avoid her gaze, but her voice was still soft, and even her breath was still a little unsteady because of the torment just now, "I hate you..."
"But I like you very much." Qu Xizhi lifted the strands of hair from her forehead and looked at her quietly. "I understand the past, I understand, I have confidence in taking care of you well, and I will try to make you more satisfied. Will you try to accept me, okay?"
Although it was really clear at this moment that she was confessing, Gu Xizhi felt that there was no way of confessing more weirdly than their current posture.
Pressing her down like this leaves her with no room to resist, and occasionally teasing her, isn't this actually a violent seduction, right?
"..." Gu Xizhi tried to push her away while her words might still be useful, "Let go first."
"I won't." Qu Xizhi seemed to be very persistent about this, not only did she not loosen her grip but held onto her hand tightly.
Gu Xizhi had no choice but to say under her gaze, "...I don't know why you like me, but it seems…" Because this posture was very tiring, Gu Xizhi sounded quite strained as she spoke, "I'm far from it."
"Far?" Qu Xizhi's expression looked like she didn't understand the meaning of the word. She lowered her head and kissed the right side of her neck gently, "Is it still far?"
Asshole…
She got goosebumps all over her body. Gu Xizhi frowned and said, "Qu Xizhi, you're doing this on purpose!"
Qu Xizhi did not deny it, but what she wanted to do now was not to annoy her, so she stopped teasing her, and said seriously, "We're not far away, like this. There's nothing closer to the heart than this distance on our bodies."
Anyway, many things are not appropriate for me." Gu Xizhi immediately forced herself to push those confusing words out of her ears and replied firmly, "I'm already twenty-six years old, at this age, if my career isn't particularly successful, at the very least, I shouldn't mess up my relationships."
She brought out the seemingly reasonable truths in such a conclusive manner. Qu Xizhi thought for a while, looked directly at her, and asked, "So... putting aside all this, do you like me even just a little?"
When she asked about other things, Gu Xizhi could answer confidently and fluently, but hearing this question made her speechless for a moment.
Gu Xizhi's eyes flickered for a moment, and she seemed to realize she should be more assertive. Facing her gaze, she said, "...I feel... more like friends."
If there was any other answer, Qu Xizhi would not have frowned so deeply, but when she heard her say those words, she was really impressed by her thoughts. For a long time, Gu Xizhi has always avoided facing her. As long as there is a way out, she will never stand still. If she could use the word "friend", she did not doubt that she could still come up with more novel words.
Seeing that Qu Xizhi was silent, Gu Xizhi started to think about how to get out of the current predicament.
Judging from many movie scripts, when many heroines encounter this kind of thing, it seems that the more they struggle, the more interested they are in attracting the other party. On the contrary, if they show an indifferent attitude, it will be boring. She doesn't know if the things in the movie are true, but at this moment, she is at her wit's end and just wants to use this trick to kill a horse.

"Well." Seeing that Qu Xizhi was still silent, Gu Xizhi said first, "I want to rest, but if you have to continue to nibble on my body, it doesn't matter. But if you think doing so will make you accepted, that's wrong." She briefly described her attitude and the fact that doing so would not yield results. Then, she looked directly into her eyes, trying to convey some sincerity to her.
Although Qu Xizhi looked into her eyes, she didn't notice the sincerity in her eyes at all.
Having liked her for so long, of course, it was not that she had no patience to continue waiting for her. But her answer made her feel that even if she waited forever, she might not loosen her grip. For the first time, she realized that wanting to get someone's heart could be so difficult. Qu Xizhi began to feel that there must be some way to break this dilemma.
Lowering her gaze to look at the one in front of her, Gu Xizhi's eyes were slightly raised, and her thin lips and pointed nose looked extremely cute. Although she had calmed down for a long time, the flush on her face had not receded, and her sincere eyes were filled with moisture. It's true... her reaction was always much cuter than the words she spoke with her sober mouth.
"Okay." Qu Xizhi smiled slightly, looking relaxed, "Since we've both said 'why not,' let's just do something enjoyable together."
After saying this, she lowered her head and kissed her collarbone hard. She didn't let go until some marks declaring sovereignty were printed on her snow-white skin.
Gu Xizhi looked at her in astonishment after completing her movement, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," Qu Xizhi hooked her neck, still smiling, "Just making it a little happier."
Before Gu Xizhi could reply, her head had already been buried deeply. Gu Xizhi wanted to say some rejection or curse, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Qu Xizhi bit her lower lip tightly to avoid making any sound.
This...bastard...
Is this course taught in acting classes? Why can she do this so well...
Qu Xizhi looked at her suddenly confused expression, pulling her pajamas with unprecedented determination.
At first, she just wanted to kiss her, nibble on her and tease her. If she hadn't used the word "friend" to send her away, she might not be so determined to do this. But after listening to her words, she suddenly felt that this thing was definitely necessary.
No matter how she avoids and resists, once they have a substantial relationship, things will be different. Even though she knows this isn't a straightforward plan, right now, she never wants to hear the ridiculous word "friend" from her mouth.
Her ears and neck were patiently teased again. The feeling that had just dissipated quickly gathered with her delicate kiss. Gu Xizhi tightened her fingertips, feeling that she was about to be done for.
If Qu Xizhi stopped this hard work to talk to her, she might still have time to think about questions such as "What should I do?" "Is this going to work?" and "How to refuse?", she could only grit her teeth, hoping that she would gain some energy and not make that embarrassing moaning sound.
The sensitive skin at her collarbone was kissed, and her lower abdomen became heavier due to her actions. Gu Xizhi couldn't help but rub against her, but this contact didn't bring any relief. Instead, because of Qu Xizhi's exceptionally hot body, it made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Why is it so hot…
Why is her body so uncomfortable?!
Gu Xizhi, who only wanted to calm the restless emotions inside her, was on the verge of being driven to desperation with no way to seek help.
"Be good." Qu Xizhi's voice was soft and seductive, "I told you not to move."
"I hate...um..." Gu Xizhi, who was already feeling uncomfortable, heard her deceiving voice and really felt like throwing paint all over her body.
"Hate it?" Qu Xizhi's voice sounded even more malicious, "Why do you hate it?"
"I hate it..." Gu Xizhi tried her best to avoid her kiss, but because she didn't let go, her avoidance turned into squirming, "Itchy..."
"Itchy?" Qu Xizhi lowered her head to look at her pink skin, brushed aside her black hair, and delicately held her fragile collarbone while kissing it. With one hand, she explored her waist, saying, "Like this... is it still itchy?" She gently exhaled, intentionally conveying her breath behind her ear. The side of the waist was already extremely sensitive, and this kind of caressing along with the warm breath by her ear was driving Gu Xizhi really crazy.
"... bastard..." Gu Xizhi twisted her body, her eyes slightly moist, "I hate it!"
"So, you hate it that much?" the voice remained calm, "Then, let's do a little more..." She pushed down the fabric on her left shoulder until something was about to emerge before continuing, "And make it even more unpleasant."
The fabric on her left shoulder wasn't completely pulled down, just hanging halfway off her shoulder. While the pajama's neckline wasn't small, it wasn't exaggerated enough to expose everything with a simple pull. However, having only one side exposed was extremely weird, and besides, something about her was never small, even when lying flat on the bed, it couldn't be ignored. Seeing that glaring thing, Gu Xizhi was so embarrassed by the strange sight that she felt like dying. But just as she was about to pull the fabric back, before she could say no, Qu Xizhi had already lowered her head, gently taking it into her mouth.
…Give me some paint!
At this moment, Gu Xizhi just wanted to have a bucket of paint fall from the sky and splash the female hooligan on top of her from head to toe.
