When Lin Qingyi heard Qin Shiyue say this, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud again. Her baby was really a perverted baby, and she guessed that from the moment she said ‘compensation’, someone already started to look forward to it and think about it till now.
"Using the principle of ‘use the same form to supplement form,' baby is really clever," Lin Qingyi teased.
“When someone wanted to eat, you offered compensation, and now you're blaming me for overthinking? I’ve figured out your tricks.” If it were before, she might’ve really thought she was too lecherous and too good at imagining things. After taking losses from Lin Qingyi several times, she wouldn’t fall for it again.
Lin Qingyi couldn’t help but laugh even harder. Qin Shiyue’s deliberate use of formal “you” hit her funny bone again. She felt her sense of humor was getting stranger and stranger.
Laugh, laugh, what’s so funny?
“Isn’t it?” Qin Shiyue asked back..
“That really isn’t so.” The more the Flower Vase expected it, the more Lin Qingyi wanted to tease her. She was curious to see when this perverted baby would lose control.
“Have you never heard the story of worse than a beast?” Qin Shiyue asked.
Lin Qingyi thought, Baby Qin’er is clever, this is clearly laying the path for her beastly plan.
“Never heard of it,” Lin Qingyi pretended.
“Once there was a couple who spent the night together…” Qin Shiyue recounted the story of worse than a beast.
“So?” Lin Qingyi asked with a smile, thinking this perverted baby had clearly written her intentions in big letters on her forehead. Well, she’d just go along and read it.
“So we’re two single women sharing a bed, nothing happened. Don’t you think I’m a bit worse than a beast too?” Qin Shiyue’s hidden meaning was, I want to do something beastly tonight, be prepared.
“No, I think Baby is fine like this, loving but restrained, I really like it.” Lin Qingyi said on purpose, as if affirming Qin Shiyue’s noble character.
Qin Shiyue thought, Lin Qingyi must be deliberately giving me compliments, holding me back from turning into a wolf. Fine, whenever Lin Qingyi wants to do something, she can. Qin Shiyue decided to be calm.
Even though she had decided to stay calm, someone was really too much, lying on the bed and not behaving while kissing.
This time Qin Shiyue learned her lesson. She’d pretend to be calm, stay still, let Lin Qingyi tease, let her continue teasing, let her go too far, and go even further…
Lin Qingyi hadn't expected Qin Shiyue to be even more docile than last night, actually letting her tease her. From Qin Shiyue's increasingly messy breathing, she knew she must be quite aroused by her teasing. Lin Qingyi thought she probably did have a bit of a perverse sense of humor, wondering how Qin Shiyue would react if she stopped now.
So, Lin Qingyi, feeling satisfied after flirting with Qin Shiyue, decided to leave.
His body was once again aroused by Lin Qingyi, almost to the point of spontaneous combustion. This wicked woman had indeed backed down again. Qin Shiyue felt a surge of smug satisfaction. This time, she wouldn't let her succeed.
"Now it's my turn, isn't it?" Qin Shiyue whispered in Lin Qingyi's ear, flipping her over and pinning her down, preventing her from pulling away. She was going to get her revenge after all the flirting Lin Qingyi had done.
Lin Qingyi then realized that Qin Shiyue had been so obedient just now, letting her tease on purpose, so she could tease back with full reason now. Lin Qingyi thought Qin Shiyue felt a bit like a hunter, like the oriole waiting behind. It was true that people’s potential comes out only when pressured.
For fairness, Lin Qingyi clearly had no room to refuse now, and Baby Qin’er had no plan to let her refuse either.
Before Lin Qingyi could speak, Qin Shiyue returned everything Lin Qingyi had just done to her, one by one.
Only then did Lin Qingyi understand how terrible it was that she had lit the fire last night and again just now but gave no wood to burn.
It felt deadly. Lin Qingyi knew that if they kept going, it would get out of hand.
Fine, then enjoy the moment. Tonight she still owed her a compensation.
Qin Shiyue thought she was only getting a bit of sweetness, but she didn’t expect Lin Qingyi would really let her continue.
A vase empty for 28 years was finally filled with flowers.
That feeling was really wonderful. When the first narcissus flower finished blooming, the vase couldn’t stop itself and wanted the second and the third to bloom, and even wanted countless ones to bloom, because the flowers opened so pretty that the vase wished she could bloom again and again to the limit.
After the narcissus bloomed once, she felt the water in the vase was about to spill out, so she decided to open the vase and pour the water out.
But she never thought that this pretty vase she bought from the secondhand market was actually brand new and had never been opened by anyone. The surprise and joy were too much, and it made the narcissus so happy she almost exploded.
It was the first time the vase was used for flowers, and it was also the first time for the flower to be used. The flower arranging skill was still raw and not skilled enough. But the vase and the narcissus both had a learning spirit and hands-on ability, and soon they found the fun inside.
Flower arranging was a happy thing, only the water inside would surely spill.
"Your marriage for three years, was it a fake marriage? How did you two get married?" After the flower arranging ended, Lin Qingyi could not hold back and asked, because she was really curious. As a woman married for three years who became like a young maiden, Lin Qingyi felt it was unbelievable when she thought about it.
Qin Shiyue still felt that being married for three years and not being opened was not a proud thing.
“Can I not tell you?” Qin Shiyue didn't want to tell Lin Qingyi the reason. She felt it was a bit shameful.
“That will not do. You must tell me.” Lin Qingyi felt Qin Shiyue had the duty to satisfy her curiosity. She wanted to know how Kong Huizhi and Qin Shiyue made this marriage that had a name but no truth.
“Saying it is a bit shameful. I was young and didn’t understand things. When I wanted something, I wanted to get it. She didn't like me.” When she spoke of it again, Qin Shiyue felt embarrassed. She must admit to Lin Qingyi that she didn’t have the charm to make people like her, and she was the one who was divorced and abandoned. Before, she was ashamed to tell Lin Qingyi this. She didn’t want the person she liked to know she had no charm. Maybe because she and Lin Qingyi already did it, and both were first times, so they were special to each other and more close. Qin Shiyue gained a bit more confidence.
“She didn't like you from the start, so why did she marry you?” Lin Qingyi asked with confusion.
“She was forced. I liked her by myself. She always said she saw me as a younger sister. I thought if we got married, she couldn't see me as a younger sister anymore, and she could be mine. So I told my sister I wanted to marry her. I didn't even think I'd really be able to marry her.
She was actually quite pitiful. When she was young, her parents had a car accident. Her dad died on the spot. Her mom was badly hurt. She needed a lot of medical bills and someone to care for her. Her uncle paid for all that, and she grew up in her uncle's house as a kid who lived under others' roofs. Her uncle and my dad were classmates and also had business ties, so we knew each other early. When it was time for marriage, her uncle's family seemed to be doing badly in business and needed my family's help. I don't know what deal my sister made with her uncle, but the result was that she was forced to marry me. You know, if her uncle used kindness to pressure her, she had no choice.
Before the wedding, she told me clearly that she was forced to marry me, and she wouldn't like me. Back then I was simple and thought that if I treated her well, she might grow to love me. Of course, that was just me thinking too much.” When Qin Shiyue said this, she felt ashamed. The most shameful thing was that she still had to tell all this to Lin Qingyi.
“Listening to this, it feels like a bully using tricks to snatch a village girl, already pushed into the bridal chamber, but the rich family's foolish daughter really is foolish, so easily fooled, yet she never forced herself on her, never consummated the marriage.” Lin Qingyi, suppressing her jealousy, teased after hearing this.
“I’m not the rich family's foolish daughter. I still have a conscience. Forcing her to marry me was already too much. Forcing her to do things she didn’t want to do would be even worse. And my sister isn’t a bully, she just cares too much about me. Do you want me to do that with her?” Being called the rich family's foolish daughter was a little accurate, but Qin Shiyue didn’t want to admit it. She also didn’t want to drag her sister into being called a bully. Besides, she hadn’t done anything with Kong Huizhi, shouldn’t someone be happy about that? Why tease her?
“What does my wish matter? Maybe not having done it with your ex, someone still feels regret?” Lin Qingyi realized she sounded too sour as soon as she said it.

“Not having done it with her made me feel rejected, like I had no sexual charm. It was embarrassing, yes, but not regrettable at all. Maybe it’s because I knew her since we were young, I had no thought of wanting her. But with you, it’s different…” Qin Shiyue knew her feelings for Kong Huizhi and Lin Qingyi were completely different. Her feelings for Kong Huizhi were almost devoid of sexual attraction. But Lin Qingyi had a strong sexual pull from the start. Even before really getting to know her, while hiding at home studying Lin Qingyi’s movies, thoughts started forming. Watching her films, a thought often came up: if I were Kong Huizhi, I’d definitely like Lin Qingyi even more. The subtext was: damn, this woman is really attractive, I even want her.
Liking Lin Qingyi seemed easy. That heart-deep admiration, awe, and Lin Qingyi’s natural intense attraction to her were already overwhelming. What made it impossible to resist was that she teased Qin Shiyue. She realized early that compared to Kong Huizhi, Lin Qingyi was far more dangerous to her. She felt Lin Qingyi was like a heavy bomb, too dangerous, and she had to be extra cautious, afraid of opening this super bomb and being completely destroyed.
“How is it different?” Lin Qingyi’s tone pretended to be casual, not wanting to show she cared, though inside she really did.
“I don’t think I really liked her much later on. It was more about not accepting it. The more unattainable something is, the more you want to hold onto it. From early on, I’ve been craving your body, and later I craved your heart too. I want you to crave me, want you to be special for me alone. Every time you tease me, my heart burns.” Qin Shiyue seriously analyzed her feelings. She remembered the fluttering she felt for Kong Huizhi back in her girlhood, a long, long time ago. But the fluttering she felt for Lin Qingyi now was constant, all the time.
Qin Shiyue’s words, as expected, pleased Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi thought, women are probably just like that, wanting to be someone’s only special one. She realized she couldn’t escape being the same.
Author's Note:
The flower arrangement is finally complete.
Lin Qingyi's idea was: I thought she had experience, so I let her go first, but I didn't expect it to be a miscalculation.
