Chapter 589 : This Only Counts as Using My Mouth
“Let me make it clear first—I didn’t use my hands. This only counts as using my mouth.”
Bai Yiyue grinned mischievously at Ling Ning, her small tongue darting out to gently lick her lips, as if savoring some delicious treat.
Ling Ning looked at Bai Yiyue helplessly. She couldn’t understand how such a simple trick had caught her off guard. Perhaps she’d been too relaxed lately. Otherwise...
Sensing the kind yet dangerous expression on Ling Ning’s face, Bai Yiyue let out two nervous chuckles and said, “Don’t look at me like that! You’re going to make me shy! Okay, fine—it’s just that I haven’t kissed Ling Ning in such a long time~”
Hearing this, Ling Ning sighed in exasperation. “Forget it. I’m going to take a shower. But if I catch you pulling any more of your crazy antics, I’m leaving immediately.”
“Don’t worry! I absolutely won’t!” Bai Yiyue replied with mock seriousness.
Anyone who didn’t know Bai Yiyue might have been fooled by her earnest expression. But Ling Ning wasn’t just anyone. Having grown up with her, how could she not understand Bai Yiyue? Still, now that she’d issued a warning, Bai Yiyue probably wouldn’t dare to act out again.
Just as Ling Ning was about to head to the bathroom, she suddenly stopped and turned back. “Xiao Bai, lend me some clothes.”
“They’re in the wardrobe. Help yourself, Ling Ning~”
Ling Ning nodded slightly and walked into Bai Yiyue’s room. Conveniently, the room had its own bathroom, so she could shower there directly.
The last time she had used Bai Yiyue’s bathroom was when Bai Jie had invited her over. She still hadn’t forgotten the large bathtub in Bai Yiyue’s bathroom—though that unforgettable memory might have been influenced by the time she twisted her ankle. Even so, soaking in warm water on a chilly day was an unmatched luxury.
After casually tossing her clothes into the washing machine, Ling Ning stepped into the shower. Even though it wasn’t strictly necessary to change clothes in this weather, her mild cleanliness obsession dictated that she do so.
Meanwhile, sitting in the living room, Bai Yiyue quickly grew restless. Ling Ning had told her not to pull any stunts, but surely going back to her room to use her computer didn’t count as one, right?
With that thought, Bai Yiyue happily began humming a tune and made her way back to her room. Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, she subconsciously swallowed. She’d thought about sneaking a peek, but her room’s bathroom layout made it impossible to see anything.
Letting out a resigned sigh, Bai Yiyue sat at her desk and turned on her computer to browse idly.
After a moment, a thought struck her. She quietly opened a drawer and took out a small salted-fish-shaped USB drive. It had been a while since she last checked her “learning materials” due to her busy schedule. Since Ling Ning would probably take a while to finish her shower, this was the perfect time to study.
Sliding on her headphones, Bai Yiyue began her diligent “study session.”
She had no idea how much time passed. By now, she was completely engrossed in her learning materials. These resources were truly amazing—every time she watched, she learned new techniques... ahem, knowledge.
Just then, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Yet Bai Yiyue, immersed in her studies, didn’t notice—or perhaps she subconsciously chose to ignore it.
Ling Ning emerged from the bathroom, her gaze falling on Bai Yiyue sitting at her desk. She looked slightly puzzled. It was surprising that Bai Yiyue wasn’t pulling any stunts and was merely watching a video. This was quite out of character for her.
After sitting on the bed to towel-dry her hair, Ling Ning grew curious about what video Bai Yiyue was watching. She had been out of the bathroom for a while, yet Bai Yiyue hadn’t reacted at all—a stark contrast to her usual behavior.
With that in mind, Ling Ning quietly stood up and walked over to Bai Yiyue. What she saw on the screen made her pause: two beautiful girls engaging in... tofu wrestling? Wait a minute! So this was what Bai Yiyue had been watching?
Sensing something, Bai Yiyue instinctively turned her head. To her horror, Ling Ning was already standing behind her, silently watching—not her, but the video playing on the screen.
Bai Yiyue froze. She even considered posting on Weibo: “What do you do when you get caught watching indescribable videos by the person you like?”
However, she quickly dismissed the thought. If she posted something like that, Wu Zi would probably explode.
Scrambling to close the video, Bai Yiyue stammered, “L-Ling Ning, you finished showering so quickly~”
“Quickly?” Ling Ning replied.
Glancing at the bottom-right corner of her screen, Bai Yiyue noticed the time and realized she’d been watching for nearly an hour. She had been too careless.
“Umm... Ling Ning, let me explain!” Bai Yiyue pleaded pitifully.
“There’s no need. Isn’t it just this sort of thing? You could even open it now and let me watch it with you—I don’t mind~” Ling Ning said nonchalantly.
She had thought Bai Yiyue was engrossed in something profound, but it turned out to be this.
Bai Yiyue was at a loss for words. There was no way she could let Ling Ning watch such a video with her. If that happened, her reputation as a pervy creep would be cemented for life.
Blinking rapidly, Bai Yiyue glanced around the room before suddenly standing up with a bright smile. “Ling Ning, let me dry your hair for you~”
“Alright.”
Switching places, Ling Ning relaxed and began enjoying Bai Yiyue’s service while casually browsing videos on her phone.
As she dried Ling Ning’s hair, Bai Yiyue noticed something from her angle—something she shouldn’t have been able to see. From here, it was clear Ling Ning wasn’t wearing any undergarments. Through the neckline, she could distinctly see... cough, cough.
“Seen enough?”
“No way! If the neckline would just... eh!?”
“As I thought, there’s no saving you, Xiao Bai.”
“Wait, Ling Ning, let me explain!”
