Chapter 122: Very Cute, Pity About The Mouth
Su Ruoxue still hadn’t woken up.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and figured she should probably massage the rest of her body as well.
With practiced ease, she removed Su Ruoxue’s clothing, straddled her body, and placed her hands on Su Ruoxue’s shoulders, gently kneading.
Ruoxue-jie’s skin had great texture—smooth to the touch. Maybe it was thanks to three years of a comfortable life; she had a bit of softness to her, but not in an unpleasant way.
But Su Ruoxue still showed no sign of waking.
The more Ye Xiao massaged, the more she felt how stiff Su Ruoxue’s muscles were. She unconsciously increased her pressure a bit.
As her strength increased, soft moans began to escape Su Ruoxue’s lips. Ye Xiao could see a sheen of sweat forming on her neck.
This meant the massage was working.
As it went on, the faint groans coming from Su Ruoxue’s mouth became more frequent.
That slightly pained and stifled humming, mixed with occasional gentle gasps, kept drifting into Ye Xiao’s ears.
Ye Xiao had never realized that giving someone a massage could be this… exhausting. She wanted to stop, but it didn’t seem right to leave the job half-done.
Yet Su Ruoxue’s voice—those sounds—struck sparks in her chest like a match striking dry tinder.
Her hands had long since moved from Su Ruoxue’s shoulders down to her waist, pressing with her thumbs and spreading outward from there.
Staring at Ruoxue-jie’s slender waist, Ye Xiao’s mouth went dry.
Nope. She couldn’t handle this. This massage mastery was way too lethal.
Though things between her and Su Ruoxue were already a bit ambiguous, Ye Xiao still felt it wasn’t right to take advantage of someone in this condition.
What happened that first night—just after she transmigrated—was an accident.
In a proper relationship between two women, Ye Xiao preferred both parties to be fully conscious and consenting.
After finally finishing a full-body treatment and even massaging Su Ruoxue’s calves, Ye Xiao couldn’t take it anymore. She darted into the bathroom.
Too bad she was a girl—cold showers weren’t really an option unless she wanted to get sick.
All she could do was start filling the tub with hot water, hoping a soak would calm her chaotic thoughts.
After stripping and sinking into the bath, the rising steam only seemed to make her even more restless.
Her emotions swirled like the rising heat, and Ye Xiao couldn’t hold back any longer—her nimble little hands involuntarily moved through the water…
—
When Su Ruoxue woke up, she felt noticeably lighter, as if all the pressure she’d built up recently had vanished.
Her calves, usually tight and sore, and her shoulders and neck—everything felt light and relaxed in a way she hadn’t known for years.
She tried to recall what happened before she passed out. Looking down at her sweat-covered, unclothed body, she had a few guesses.
Ye Xiao must’ve given her a full-body massage.
It had clearly worked—her whole body felt blissfully at ease.
She hadn’t known Ye Xiao had such skills. The only downside was the sticky sweat all over her body, which felt uncomfortable.
She casually threw on some clothes, went to her bedroom to grab fresh pajamas, and headed toward the bathroom.
But when she reached the bathroom door, she saw the light was already on. She gently pushed the door open and was greeted by a soft, melodious singing voice.
Su Ruoxue instinctively paused and, through the gap in the door, quietly peeked inside.
She hadn’t expected Ye Xiao to be singing alone in her bathroom. Not only was her massage technique good, apparently she could sing beautifully too.
Su Ruoxue’s cheeks turned a little red.
“Su Ruoxue’s affection +10.”
Ye Xiao had just reached a high note when she heard the System Sister’s notification.
What? The affection level went up again?
Just as Ye Xiao was wondering why, Su Ruoxue stepped into the bathroom with her fresh pajamas in hand.
The bathtub in Su Ruoxue’s home was large—round, like a small pool—easily big enough for five or six people.
Even with Su Ruoxue joining in, it wouldn’t feel crowded.
But Ye Xiao’s face was already flushed red. She couldn’t help wondering—did Su Ruoxue see her singing just now when that affection point increased?
A wave of deep embarrassment washed over Ye Xiao.
“Xiao Xiao, if you’re feeling lonely, you can always come to me. You don’t have to sneak in here and sing all by yourself.” Su Ruoxue sat down beside Ye Xiao and said seriously, as if offering heartfelt advice.
Ye Xiao felt like her soul had just shattered.
So she had seen it.
At that moment, Ye Xiao wished she could melt into the water and be flushed away through the bathtub drain.
So. Incredibly. Embarrassing.
With shame gnawing at her, Ye Xiao fidgeted nervously in the tub.
She thought Su Ruoxue would say more, but instead, seeing Ye Xiao too mortified to speak, she just sat quietly beside her without another word.
Her gentle, calm demeanor was like a scene from a classical painting—dignified and serene.
But since Su Ruoxue wasn’t speaking, Ye Xiao didn’t know how to break the silence either.
Was she supposed to dunk her head into the bathwater in shame or something?
Absolutely not! That would be way too perverse.
Su Ruoxue’s bathtub wasn’t the kind that kept heating—it maintained temperature through constant water circulation, like a hot spring.
At a steady 42°C, the two of them sat in silence for nearly an hour.
Ye Xiao felt like she was about to faint from the heat but still didn’t dare say a word.
Maybe she’d just soaked too long… or maybe that whole “celestial bath fairy” thing had gone to her head—
Suddenly, with a splash, Ye Xiao passed out and slumped into the water.
Su Ruoxue didn’t say anything. She calmly lifted Ye Xiao out, dried her off carefully with a towel, and dressed her in clean pajamas.
Then she carried Ye Xiao back to the bedroom.
Ye Xiao, unconscious, had a sleeping face so adorable it could melt hearts.
It was a moment full of peace and warmth.
Su Ruoxue had always thought Ye Xiao was incredibly cute—Too bad… she had such a mouth. And a pair of unruly little hands.
When Ye Xiao was conscious, her words alone could ruin the whole image.
Su Ruoxue didn’t do anything else. She simply lay beside Ye Xiao.
After that massage, her body and mind had finally relaxed.
Lately, the stress of investigating the Gu family had made her so anxious she could hardly sleep at night.
But tonight, beside Ye Xiao, with the faint scent of citrus lingering in the air, she fell into a peaceful sleep not long after.
Unfortunately… in her dreams, Ye Xiao started getting restless again.
