Some things just happen naturally; this was the first time Jiang Shu had such a deep contact with a girl.
Jiang Shu's face still burned as she recalled what had happened five minutes ago.
"Shushu." Ji Lianxing knelt beside Jiang Shu and carefully tested the waters, hoping what just happened didn't scare Jiang Shu.
“Bring me my clothes.” Jiang Shu said with her eyes closed.
“Oh.”
Ji Lianxing handed Jiang Shu the shirt from the floor.
“And the pants.”
“Oh~” Ji Lianxing looked at the pants on the floor. “Underpants or outer pants?”
“Give me all of them!!!” Jiang Shu had never been this shy in her life. She didn't expect to fall into Ji Lianxing’s hands this time.
She didn't dare look at Ji Lianxing, but she also felt like Ji Lianxing was looking at her.
Ji Lianxing really was looking at her. She was staring at Jiang Shu’s round curves and firm abs without blinking. As expected of someone who kept working out, not many people had a body this good.
Jiang Shu picked up the shirt. When she opened her eyes, she met Ji Lianxing’s gaze at once. Her eyes were too daring!
“Stop looking!”
“Oh, I won’t look, I won’t look.” Ji Lianxing closed her eyes.
Jiang Shu put on her clothes at the fastest speed of her life. She noticed Ji Lianxing wore much more than her, at least a bra and jeans.
So just now, not only had Ji Lianxing seen everything, she had also taken full advantage of her.
Jiang Shu had always been proud and strong-willed, but now she felt very annoyed. She had been completely eaten to death by a younger girl! How embarrassing!
"Little Hedgehog."
"Mm?"
“Who taught you that?
Ji Lianxing opened one eye and saw Jiang Shu had already put on her clothes, so she opened the other eye too.
"I'm self-taught."
“You liar.” Jiang Shu stood up and found her legs a little weak. Just now seemed a little...
Ji Lianxing quickly stood up to support her. “Are you okay? Want me to carry you upstairs?”
“No.” Of course not. If she agreed to let Ji Lianxing carry her upstairs, that would be too embarrassing. Even if her legs were a little weak, she could not lose momentum. “Go wash up again. I’ll wait upstairs.”
“Is your throat okay? Want a throat lozenge?” Ji Lianxing noticed Jiang Shu’s voice sounded a little hoarse. It was probably because she could not control the volume just now.
“Ahem.” Jiang Shu almost choked on her saliva. Ji Lianxing really knew how to hit the sore spot. Could she stop bringing this up?!
“Hurry and wash up. Stop messing around.” Jiang Shu left Ji Lianxing behind and quickly went upstairs. It felt painful to stay downstairs even one more second.
Ji Lianxing stood there, blooming with joy. Was Jiang Shu shy just now?
Thinking of Jiang Shu’s alluring voice, the pink color spilling over her face when she got emotional, and those active responses, every cell in Ji Lianxing’s body was shouting.
****
Jiang Shu lay on the bed and quietly listened to the sounds downstairs. The rushing water from the bathroom, then the door opening, Ji Lianxing stepping upstairs...
The night was deep. A bit of wind came through the half-open window. Ji Lianxing walked to the bedside and saw Jiang Shu facing away from her, looking like she had already fallen asleep.
She lifted a corner of the blanket and just lay down when the person beside her turned and hugged her.
“You’re not asleep?”
“You weren’t here, so I couldn’t sleep.” Jiang Shu rested her chin on Ji Lianxing’s shoulder and smelled the shampoo in her hair, along with Ji Lianxing’s natural scent.
“It’s 12:30.” Ji Lianxing turned around and hugged Jiang Shu first. “Aren’t you sleepy?”
“No.” Jiang Shu pulled Ji Lianxing into her arms. “There’s still one thing left to do. I can’t sleep.”
“What thing?”
Ji Lianxing waited for her answer, but unexpectedly Jiang Shu turned over, grabbed Ji Lianxing’s chin, and lightly nibbled her cheek, almost acting spoiled.
“What do you think?”
Ji Lianxing felt ticklish all over from the nibble and struggled a little, but the root of her leg accidentally touched Jiang Shu’s. They both wore very little.
The fire that had just been pressed down burned again. Everything turned dark, vision weakened, and touch became very sharp.
Ji Lianxing’s shirt hem was lifted. The thin pink pajamas were quickly thrown aside.
“Mm.”
“Call me ‘sister’.”
“What if I don’t?”
The next second, Ji Lianxing’s shoulders shook. Her ribs felt terribly ticklish. She knew the next place would be somewhere else.
“Sister!” She thought Jiang Shu would stop if she said it.
“Good girl.” Jiang Shu did not stop. “Be obedient.”
“Uh...” Ji Lianxing felt embarrassed. She felt her reason being swallowed by darkness and was not sure if she would lose control the next second.
“Ah, ah!”
“Shh.”
Ji Lianxing hugged Jiang Shu's neck, feeling a little dizzy.
"Be good, listen to sister." Jiang Shu breathed warm air into Ji Lianxing's ear.
The heat slipped into Ji Lianxing’s ear. She raised her shoulder to cover it, but the next second Jiang Shu pressed close, so her defenses quickly broke.
Ji Lianxing closed her eyes. The night wrapped around the moonlight...
****
The next morning, Jiang Shu skipped running for the first time on a running day. She held Ji Lianxing in her arms, and both of them slept deeply.
At 10:30 a.m., they were woken by the doorbell. Someone was pressing it nonstop. Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing opened their eyes at the same time.
“Who’s pressing the doorbell?” Ji Lianxing sat up, and the blanket slipped off her shoulder, revealing her smooth shoulder blade.
Jiang Shu picked up the phone from the bedside table and looked. There were five missed calls from Li Xiangyan.
She quickly called back...
The moment Li Xiangyan answered, he roared, “Are you home or not?! I’ve been knocking for ten damn minutes!”
Jiang Shu rejected him without thinking, “No.”
“Don’t lie to me!”
“Really. I’m at my parents’ place.” Jiang Shu glanced at Ji Lianxing and signaled for her to stay quiet. “Why are you looking for me?”
"I just wanted to chat with you about Lan Yue."
When Lan Yue was mentioned, Jiang Shu frowned without thinking. “Let’s talk another day. I’m pretty busy right now. Hurry home. I’ll find you when I’m back.”
Li Xiangyan quickly hung up and didn't suspect anything.
Jiang Shu put the phone back on the bedside table, climbed under the blanket again, and pulled Ji Lianxing over for seamless cuddling.
“Good morning, Little Hedgehog.”
Ji Lianxing felt Jiang Shu's curves and her face flushed. "You actually lied to Brother Li."
"He's not important, you're more important."
Ji Lianxing stretched a hand out from under the covers and covered Jiang Shu's eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm shy."
"What's there to be shy about? You didn't seem shy at all last night?"
Speaking of last night, Ji Lianxing's face burned even hotter. She had witnessed this sister's power. Jiang Shu hadn't gone all the way, but she still managed to take her to heaven.
“Little Hedgehog, your voice is hoarse too. Sounds even hoarser than mine?”
“Ah! Stop talking about it!” Ji Lianxing buried herself under the blanket and covered her whole head. The next second, her face pressed against Jiang Shu.
It felt soft to the touch, just like last night.
"Pfft, stop crawling under the blanket. It tickles.” Jiang Shu hugged Ji Lianxing’s head, and the next second her whole body turned weak. “No, no, no!!!”
But Ji Lianxing kept going lower, repeating what she did last night...
It ended half an hour later. Morning light faded, and the noon sun rose. Rarely, it was a bright sunny day.
A thin layer of sweat covered Jiang Shu’s body. She stared at the ceiling in a daze, breathing slowly and calming down. Before, she never thought this thing had any charm, but now it felt like opening the door to a new world.
Ji Lianxing was clearly the same. Both of them seemed to have an uncontrollable desire for each other’s bodies.
“Little Hedgehog, will you be my girlfriend?”
Ji Lianxing lay in her arms. “I thought I already was last night.”
“Right, last night counted. Today we officially confirm the relationship. What do you think?”
Ji Lianxing raised her head and looked at Jiang Shu. “Don’t you think the gap between us is too big? Identity and status.”
“No. I think we’re made for each other.” Jiang Shu smiled at the ceiling.
“I’m serious.” Ji Lianxing lightly poked Jiang Shu’s waist. “And I still owe you money.”
“From today on, what’s mine is yours.”
Ji Lianxing: “...You’re such a fool.”
“So, yes or no? Stop dawdling it out.” Jiang Shu turned over like she was about to pin her down again.
Ji Lianxing surrendered in time. “Yes, yes, yes.”
Jiang Shu pinched her cheek and thought Ji Lianxing was even cuter than before.
“Little Hedgehog, this is my first relationship~”
Ji Lianxing stared at Jiang Shu’s face, a little shy. “It’s my first time too...”
“Let me tell you a secret.” Jiang Shu moved closer to Ji Lianxing, their noses almost touching. “Want to hear it?”
“Tell me.” Ji Lianxing closed her eyes. This happiness felt a little unreal.
“Do you still remember Jin’e River?”
“Mm, what about it?”
“One summer, you met a girl. You even taught her how to swim.”
Ji Lianxing answered absentmindedly, “Mm~”
“Do you know who she was?”
Ji Lianxing tried to remember. She still remembered that girl, very thin, very tall, very pretty, just a little shy and quiet.
Her appearance was blurry now, but if she thought harder, it seemed...
Ji Lianxing opened her eyes. Jiang Shu’s face was right in front of her, and the two faces seemed to overlap.
Ji Lianxing cried out in surprise: "It couldn’t be you, could it?"
Jiang Shu smiled and nodded. “Hello, little Ji Fatty”
!!!!
“Hey! Don’t call me that!” Ji Lianxing grabbed Jiang Shu’s face. “You were silly when you were little too. You even choked on water in such shallow water! You almost drowned!”
“You weren’t the same as now either. Back then, you felt like a social butterfly. Like ‘my territory, my rules.’ Do you know how bossy you looked when you waved for me to come swim?”

“That was because you looked too lonely standing by yourself on the shore!” Ji Lianxing remembered that day. That girl had really attracted her. She had a strong urge to be friends with her.
She looked at Jiang Shu, still a little unsure. It all felt too dreamlike. “Right, when did you find out?”
Jiang Shu’s eyes carried a smile. “After seeing the photo. I thought it was such a fate. Actually, I went to Luo’er County later too, but I never saw you again.”
“Because my family stopped letting me swim.” It started after her father accidentally drowned in the river while fishing. After that, Ji Lianxing’s mother almost never let her go near that river again, probably from superstition, fearing history repeating itself, and also afraid of touching painful memories.
Jiang Shu moved closer and kissed Ji Lianxing’s face. Feeling it was not enough, she lightly bit her lips too.
“It’s good we met now too. If we met as kids, maybe we would’ve been friends. But now it’s different, we’re girlfriends.”
Author's Note:
Yesterday everyone said they guessed wrong, but actually no. This story is mutual attack. No one is more dominant. With the energy these two have right now, they will definitely both make the other unable to get out of bed.
[Aside: About their relationship, since both of them are not the type to drag things out, after confirming their feelings, they decisively got together. No need to mention, Xiao Ji liked President Jiang for a long time. President Jiang is also very pure in this way. If she likes someone, she boldly likes them. (You can see it from earlier when she said on the bus with Xiao Ji, “If I like someone, I’ll tell her directly.”) So I do not think the progress is fast. I wonder what everyone thinks?]
