“…I know.” Xi Mo looked into Ruan Yesheng’s eyes, then added, “After all…I’m anxious too.”
Ruan Yesheng paused briefly.
This time, she hugged Xi Mo and kissed her repeatedly. Xi Mo immediately responded to her kisses, they were reluctant to part for a while. Ruan Yesheng whispered, "If you sweet talk like that, I won't want to make preparations. Save those words for later."
“This shouldn’t count as sweet talk.” Xi Mo had been learning well recently. Ruan Yesheng often teased her, so she's become more and more knowledgeable. She knew saying sweet words at special times could enhance the feeling. But she thought what she said just now, was logical and doesn't qualify as sweet talk.
Sweet talk should be more passionate and provocative, especially when two people are intimate, the more it makes people unable to stop.
“Everyone thinks sweet talk differently. For me, it counts.” Ruan Yesheng breathed to tempt her. “This is from your heart, direct and sincere.”
Xi Mo's breathing grew heavier as she looked at her.
“I like hearing it,” Ruan Yesheng said. “It…feels very moving.”
Xi Mo's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still nodded: "I'll remember."
Ruan Yesheng smiled and walked out of the bathroom.
Xi Mo quickly started washing and disinfecting her hands. Although she had made the same preparations before, she was inexplicably nervous this time.
After some time, Ruan Yesheng returned. Xi Mo turned around and saw her arranging the bath towels and bathrobes. Her heart burned even hotter. She quickly lowered her head to continue washing. Then, she felt a sudden tightness in her body as she felt someone hug her waist from behind, and heard Ruan Yesheng laugh behind her, "Not done washing yet?"
"...I'm done.." Xi Mo let her hug her and said truthfully, "It's just that you weren't here, so I didn't know what to do. I just had to continue."
Ruan Yesheng turned her body gently, Xi Mo turned the water off and turned around so that her back was leaning on the sink.
They faced each other.
“I washed my hands in the other bathroom and disinfected them too.” Ruan Yesheng raised her hand, and deliberately traced her fingers along Xi Mo’s cheek. “So I'm a little late.”
Xi Mo felt the warmth of her fingertips; it seemed she had specially trimmed her nails. Every light movement of Ruan Yesheng's fingertips was like a flame burning her.
“…Mm.” Xi Mo responded vaguely, but her cheek rubbed lightly, as if following the rhythm of Ruan Yesheng’s fingertips.
Ruan Yesheng's eyes burned even brighter: "Now that I'm here, you know what to do, right?"
Xi Mo nodded.
Ruan Yesheng's fingertips traced patterns on Xi Mo's lips as she said, "I think I need to tell you my home's password. In case something like tonight happens again, you can just open the door yourself and come in without being so scared."
“…Okay.” Xi Mo said, taking Ruan Yesheng’s fingertip into her mouth.
“I want you to remember this now.” Ruan Yesheng’s brows furrowed slightly as she kissed her, a hint of unbearable discomfort showing on her face, but her voice remained ambiguous as she uttered the first number: “…5.”
“…5.” Xi Mo also made the sound of that number and learned it once to deepen memory. But she held Ruan Yesheng’s finger in her mouth, so her pronunciation was a bit unclear. Her tongue curled with dampness and warmth wrapping it, like a soft whimper.
Ruan Yesheng stared at her in a daze and said the second number.
Xi Mo followed and repeated.
The second number changed, and the pronunciation also changed. The curling of the tongue and the breath when speaking were not the same as the first time. This difference brought another kind of entanglement.
“…Mm.” Ruan Yesheng paused before continuing with the third number.
Xi Mo continued repeating, her eyes reddening, but her gaze and lips never left Ruan Yesheng.
Until the fourth one.
The fifth one...
The sixth...
Different pronunciations were damp and hot on the tongue, like layers of waves, rolling toward Ruan Yesheng again and again. She was like a wet beach, struck again and again by Xi Mo’s waves.
“Did you remember the password?” Ruan Yesheng could almost not bear it anymore.
Xi Mo looked at her steadily and nodded. Her lips moved away a little and she let go of her finger for now.
Ruan Yesheng felt empty inside, as if something was not filled, and teased Xi Mo, “Too bad… I only set six digits. If I set eight, it would be better.”
“You haven't finished yet.” Xi Mo said.
“What?” Ruan Yesheng murmured, “There are only six digits.”
Xi Mo moved close to her and said, “There is still a pound sign at the end to confirm.”
Ruan Yesheng’s eyes curved like a crescent and she laughed.
But Xi Mo immediately swallowed her laughter. She leaned closer and kissed her lips, silencing her laughter. Then she pried open her lips and entwined with hers.
The bathroom light was bright. At this moment, it was as if that laugh swallowed by the kiss turned on another switch. Ruan Yesheng slightly narrowed her eyes and felt the light becoming more glaring. Her awareness slowly fermented under the heat, and her mind grew dizzy. At some point, both of their clothes disappeared. While kissing her, Xi Mo also turned on the shower.
The steam in the bathroom, along with the sound of rushing water and the alluring sounds from Ruan Yesheng's throat, spread out more and more, blurring their intertwined figures.
Ruan Yesheng's love for Xi Mo continued to rise, and everything seemed to become so crazy. She could no longer control herself, and did not want to control herself. She only wanted to give everything she had at this moment to Xi Mo.
When Ruan Yesheng finally truly felt Xi Mo, she almost couldn't stand and hugged her tightly.
“…Is it like this?” Xi Mo asked softly.
“…Mm… yes.” Ruan Yesheng’s voice rose and fell with Xi Mo. This unsteadiness was especially alluring.
“Then do you feel okay?” This was Xi Mo’s first time truly savoring her. She was very careful, afraid she might feel uncomfortable.
“…It’s really good.” Ruan Yesheng held her tightly, matching her movements, and did not hold back her praise. “Better than that time in the dream. You… learn quickly.”
“…It shouldn’t count as quick.” Xi Mo felt a bit ashamed.
“…I think it is very quick.” Ruan Yesheng clung to her body. “Mm… I was already prepared to wait until we had been together for a full year, and you would only be limited to touching me for that whole year.”
Xi Mo: “…”
So, Ruan Yesheng’s laughter was swallowed by Xi Mo again.
Besides that, there was her trembling that almost made her unable to stand, her broken murmurs, until her whole body was slowly submerged in this falling and warm sound of water.
After a while, Ruan Yesheng's legs became weak, so Xi Mo helped her clean up. The two ended the wet and messy scene in the bathroom. Xi Mo carried Ruan Yesheng to the room and helped her blow-dry her hair.
“…Don’t dry my hair this time. Just leave it like this.” Ruan Yesheng looked at her with burning eyes.
"You need to dry your hair, otherwise you'll get a headache." Xi Mo tried hard to resist her clinging and said softly, “After drying, go wash hands, we can continue.”
“We can,” Ruan Yesheng teased her, “but if it’s interrupted, I might not be in the mood anymore.”
Xi Mo paused, "...Really?"
“I don’t know if it is true.” Ruan Yesheng’s hand rested on her waist. “We can try it later, and then we will know.”
Xi Mo nodded seriously. After that, she seriously “tried it” once more, and carefully observed Ruan Yesheng’s reaction. She found that for Ruan Yesheng, it was not in the range of “not in the mood,” but instead her mood became even stronger.
“Not true.” Xi Mo kissed her lips and came to a conclusion.
Ruan Yesheng’s eyes were hazy as she responded to everything her body gave her.
“Practice makes true knowledge.” Ruan Yesheng said. “You did it very well. In the future, you should… keep it up.”
Xi Mo then leaned against the bed headboard. Ruan Yesheng followed and straddled her, held by her, moving with her.
“…I will.” Xi Mo looked at her. “As long as you are happy.”
Ruan Yesheng let out a low sound, then asked, “Do you think I am not reserved, and a bit unrestrained?”
“Why are you asking that?” Xi Mo’s movements became gentler, full of tenderness.
Ruan Yesheng said, "I'm afraid you won't be proactive enough, and I'm also afraid you'll be too reserved to let loose, so... I think I might have to be a little more unrestrained at times like this to give you a better experience. But I'm also worried that you won't like it when I'm like this?"
Xi Mo paused for a moment, and grew even more fond of her. “The most beautiful moment of a flower is when it blooms. It's my fault for not doing enough yet, for not having enough ‘gardening’ to let the flower bloom. And yet the flower still tries its best to open itself, hoping I will see it, hoping I will be happy. I could only…love it more. How could I not like it?”
Ruan Yesheng let out a breathless laugh, lowering her head as she smiled, though her eyes were slightly moist. “How are you so good at sweet talking? Are you trying to take the top scholar exam?”
Xi Mo looked at her more seriously: "...You said you like hearing it, that it moves you. I just want you to feel happy.”
Amidst the waves, Ruan Yesheng kissed her deeply.
In the end, Ruan Yesheng was completely exhausted. Xi Mo carried her to the bathroom and cleaned her up.
It was well past midnight, and Ruan Yesheng, still in a daze, had no idea what time it was. While kissing, she murmured, "What time is it?"
"I didn't check the time just now," Xi Mo said, "but it must already be the new year."
Ruan Yesheng smiled, narrowing her eyes. “I didn't expect we are celebrating the New Year by seeing off the old and welcoming the new like this. I didn’t even dare to think about it before.”
Xi Mo said softly, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Ruan Yesheng hugged her.
After washing up and returning to the bedroom, Xi Mo turned off both of their alarms and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Maybe because they were too tired at night, when Xi Mo woke up, she reached for the phone on the bedside table and saw it was already past ten in the morning the next day.
“What time is it?” Ruan Yesheng moved, curling into her arms again and rubbing against her while half awake.
“It is past ten,” Xi Mo said, pulling her a bit closer.

“…Luckily, it's a holiday, and still the first day of the New Year.” Ruan Yesheng didn't open her eyes, but her eyelashes seemed to carry a sweet light. “I can sleep however I want.”
Xi Mo couldn't help but smile, then asked her, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Ruan Yesheng then opened her eyes and said slyly, "I feel uncomfortable everywhere."
Xi Mo's face showed worry and apology: "Was I too forceful, or took too long? Or is there some other reason? I can adjust it."
Ruan Yesheng chuckled: "Are you conducting a survey?"
“…Mm.” Xi Mo was a little embarrassed.
“I have not sorted it out yet. I will fill out your survey later.” Ruan Yesheng said, “Are you hungry?”
“Aren’t you the one who is hungry?” Xi Mo didn't answer directly. “Go sleep a bit more. I will go make something for you to eat.”
Ruan Yesheng looked very surprised and smiled. “You are going to cook for me?”
Xi Mo looked a bit embarrassed. “It cannot really be called cooking. It is just ‘making something to eat.’ Meaning there are not many choices. I can only make simple things like fried eggs or boiled vegetables. Will you eat it?”
“Of course I will.” Ruan Yesheng said, “But add some carbs for me, or I will not have the strength to eat anything else.”
Xi Mo felt that something in her words was a bit strange, especially her gaze, that was fixed intently at her.
“What else do you want to eat that needs strength? The kind you have to bite hard into?” Xi Mo asked hesitantly.
“Mm, something you have to bite hard.” Ruan Yesheng looked her up and down.
