Ruan Yesheng was like a soft vine, wrapping around Xi Mo.
And Xi Mo’s arms circled Ruan Yesheng. At this moment, she couldn't bear to let her go anywhere.
The world suddenly shrank drastically, and all the surrounding sounds seemed to disappear. Xi Mo felt she could only hear Ruan Yesheng's breathing and the alluring sounds from her throat during their deep kisses. Everything was shut off, and those sounds seemed amplified in Xi Mo's ears. She wished she could respond to her with all her might.
As they kissed, she also sensed that Ruan Yesheng was very different from before. Ruan Yesheng also liked to cling to her before, but at this moment, in this entanglement, Xi Mo faintly felt a short loss of Ruan Yesheng’s sense of security.
As if after experiencing immense loneliness and fear, Xi Mo's appearance was like a ray of light shining on Ruan Yesheng in the darkness. Ruan Yesheng then embraced this light without hesitation, her reason and restraint completely overwhelmed by her passion.
Perhaps something did happen to Ruan Yesheng just now.
However, Xi Mo had carefully observed her at the door beforehand, and she appeared to be unharmed.
Could it be emotional distress?
Xi Mo felt worried and wanted to ask Ruan Yesheng, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.
After all, her mouth was blocked.
After kissing for who knows how long, Ruan Yesheng said breathlessly, "My legs are getting tired from standing like this."
Despite saying she was tired, she still pressed her lips against Xi Mo's, lightly brushing against her again and again, unwilling to stop. Her misty eyes and moist lips also hinting, "I want..."
When Xi Mo heard her say she was tired, she immediately stopped, moved her lips away slightly, and gently coaxed her, "Then you should rest for a bit; it has been a while."
Ruan Yesheng: "..."
She almost laughed in exasperation, leaned over and lightly bit Xi Mo's lip, explaining to this clueless wooden block word by word: "What I mean is, I, am, a, little, weak, in, the legs, after, you, kissed, me. I, want, to, lie, down, and, kiss, you."
Xi Mo: "..."
“…I’m sorry.” She felt embarrassed.
This time, Ruan Yesheng genuinely laughed, hugged her tightly, kissed her a few more times, and then said, "...Shall we go to the sofa?"
Xi Mo nodded.
She hadn't even had time to take off her coat when she came in before Ruan Yesheng hugged and kissed her. However, in order to get closer and touch Ruan Yesheng more, she had already taken off her gloves when she hugged her. Now that Xi Mo had come to her senses, she saw that her gloves had fallen to the ground. She quickly bent down to pick them up and put them away. She then took off her coat and scarf and hung them neatly on the coat rack.
“Ah, I am about to fall asleep.” Ruan Yesheng teased her.
"Okay, now it's good."
Xi Mo’s face turned a bit red. She answered quickly and walked to Ruan Yesheng, then picked her up in her arms.
Ruan Yesheng was caught off guard and leaned in her arms. “Your home gym was definitely worth the investment.”
Xi Mo held her even tighter and walked towards the sofa. Even on this short walk, Ruan Yesheng kept teasing her, kissing her every now and then. Xi Mo was distracted by Ruan Yesheng's advances, and each time she lowered her head to respond to her kisses, she also had to keep an eye on where she was going.
"You're so busy." Ruan Yesheng hooked her arm around Xi Mo's neck, leaned in, and whispered in her ear.
"Now, let's not be busy anymore." With the sofa right in front of them, Xi Mo glanced at Ruan Yesheng, lowered her head and kissed Ruan Yesheng's lips deeply. She quickly took two steps and placed her on the sofa, then pressed her body down and hugged Ruan Yesheng on the sofa.
With the soft touch of the sofa beneath her and Xi Mo on top of her, Ruan Yesheng felt doubled in her embrace, experiencing a strange sense of security. She relaxed her muscles and kissed Xi Mo with complete ease.
Xi Mo placed her hand on Ruan Yesheng's cheek, touched it, and asked her, "Are my hands warm enough?”
Ruan Yesheng laughed and said, "Of course it's warm. You're so hot already."
Xi Mo wasn't going to back down this time either, staring at her: "You're the same. You're no different from me, so why are you criticizing me?"
Ruan Yesheng said, "I'm hot, and whether you tell me you're hot or not doesn't conflict with me. I'm not hiding it either."
She sank into the sofa, her long hair already disheveled and exuding charm. After saying that, she deliberately kept her eyes glued to Xi Mo's, and then whispered, "Xi Mo, I feel so hot."
Xi Mo almost couldn't hold back: "..."
Ruan Yesheng chuckled softly.
Xi Mo glanced at her several times, then her warm hand moved down, lifted a bit of Ruan Yesheng’s clothes, then stopped and asked, “Can I go inside?”
Only then did Ruan Yesheng understand. Xi Mo wanted to touch inside her clothes, but was afraid her hands would be cold.
“You don't need to ask later.” Ruan Yesheng held her hand. “Of course you can. Even if your hands are cold.”
When Ruan Yesheng was at home, she didn't have constraints underneath, and since there were no other guests, it was more comfortable. When Xi Mo first touched her, her hand suddenly trembled. Ruan Yesheng placed her hand on Xi Mo's hand and whispered, "...Just like that."
Xi Mo did not hesitate any longer and continued.
Gradually, this entanglement became insufficient.
"Did you shower?" Ruan Yesheng asked Xi Mo in a low voice.
Xi Mo replied, "I've already washed up. I originally wanted to go to bed early and come see you first thing tomorrow morning, but you haven't replied to my messages and you're not answering my calls, so I got worried and came out."
“I was cleaning the house the whole time, and I was probably too tired, so I fell asleep on the sofa.” Ruan Yesheng murmured in between kisses,“But I should hear the phone. I set the ringtone, and you’ve contacted me so many times.”
Ruan Yesheng's phone was on the coffee table. Xi Mo glanced at it, moved, took out her own phone, and dialed Ruan Yesheng's number.
The ringtone sounded, but the sound was rather low.
Xi Mo said, "Your ringtone was set to a low volume. You used to be able to hear it, but this time you were too tired and slept very soundly, so you didn't notice."
Ruan Yesheng wanted to laugh. “I didn’t say this for you to test it. Do you know what we’re doing right now?”
“…I know.” Xi Mo lowered her brows.
"What are we doing?" Ruan Yesheng deliberately wanted her to say it.
"…flirting."
Ruan Yesheng paused for a moment, then her eyes crinkled and broke into a wide smile. She had originally hoped that this wooden block would tell the truth, such as that she was kissing her, since she was a logical idiot and always described things as they were. She never expected that Xi Mo would reluctantly squeeze out this insinuating word.
"Did I say something wrong?" Xi Mo asked her cautiously.
“No,” Ruan Yesheng said with a smile. “That’s right.”
Xi Mo nodded.
Ruan Yesheng wanted to laugh even more. Why was she nodding? She enjoyed seeing more of Xi Mo's side through this guidance. She then said, "Then why did I ask you if you took a shower?"
Xi Mo: "..."
Xi Mo's cheeks flushed slightly, but she answered honestly, “You want to go to the room with me.”
"Yes... but it's more than that." Ruan Yesheng whispered in Xi Mo's ear, her breathing rising and falling.
Xi Mo's heart skipped a beat.
"After drinking the Dream Wine at that bar, do you know exactly what I dreamed about?" Ruan Yesheng reached out and clung to Xi Mo's back.
"...What?" Xi Mo really wanted to know.
Ruan Yesheng's words seemed to hide one hook after another. Her voice and her tone were incredibly alluring: "I dreamed that I went to your house, you pressed me on the sofa, like now… held me, kissed me, loved me dearly.”
Xi Mo felt a sudden thud in her ears, and her mind was instantly filled with the memory of the night she drank the dream wine, when she heard Ruan Yesheng's drunken ramblings.
—I hope the person I like can... hold me.
—And also... kiss me.
—And I want her…to love me…dearly.
Xi Mo looked deeply into Ruan Yesheng's eyes, which were already shimmering with tears.
“Yesheng…” Xi Mo’s voice trembled slightly.
Ruan Yesheng hugged Xi Mo tightly, burying her head in her shoulder: "Then, in my dream, you held me and went to the bathroom. We were in the bathroom..."
She didn't say anything more.
But the quiet second half of the sentence had already stirred up waves in Xi Mo's heart.
Just like in the dream, Ruan Yesheng said, "Xi Mo, I haven't showered yet.”
Xi Mo hugged her tightly in return.
"I want you... to take another shower too," Ruan Yesheng coaxed her. "How about it?"
"...Of course, that would be great."
Without a moment's hesitation, Xi Mo lowered her head and kissed Ruan Yesheng again before reluctantly separating. She immediately scooped Ruan Yesheng up in her arms and carried her towards the bathroom. Ruan Yesheng nestled in her embrace, vaguely recalling the dream she had longed for after drinking the Dream Wine that night. Xi Mo had carried her in the same way, step by step, to the bathroom. Only when they reached the stairs had Xi Mo briefly put her down for safety, but she had immediately rejoined her in that secure embrace.
Just like at this moment. Even though her own home was smaller than Xi Mo's, far smaller than that distance, every second she was held in her arms, Ruan Yesheng could feel the preciousness of this embrace.
This is no longer a pipe dream, but a tangible reality.
Once they reached the bathroom, Xi Mo finally put Ruan Yesheng down.
"I love it when you hold me." Ruan Yesheng looked at her with a smile.

Xi Mo seemed to be infected by her smile, and a smile appeared on her lips as well. She reached out and touched Ruan Yesheng's cheek.
"I'll go make some preparations." Ruan Yesheng's gaze swept over her hands, and she said, "You wash your hands here first."
Xi Mo's face flushed and mumbled, "...I know."
Ruan Yesheng kissed her again and whispered, "I know you're a germaphobe, you'll definitely disinfect thoroughly and wash very clean... very clean."
Xi Mo: "..."
Ruan Yesheng smiled gently: "But you can't wash for too long. Because... I'll get anxious, you know?"
Author's Note:
Ruanruan, slow down your teasing, the wooden block easily catches fire.
