Chapter 83: Subtle Hints
“Responsible? You’re quite an amusing ‘mediocre big sister,’ aren’t you?”
The older women who had crossed paths with Ye Xiao before had all been conquered by her skills and clearly knew what Ye Xiao had done to them. However, this one seemed different.
Jiang Qingyue believed that she had done something inappropriate to Ye Xiao.
This was a first for Ye Xiao.
Indeed, last night, Jiang Qingyue and Li Mengyue had gone a little overboard with Ye Xiao. As for Ye Xiao bullying Li Mengyue, that was entirely based on the latter’s claims. Whatever Li Mengyue said was treated as fact.
As her best friend, Jiang Qingyue had naturally taken Li Mengyue’s side before meeting Ye Xiao. But once she did, Jiang Qingyue began to have her doubts.
Ye Xiao was small in stature—there wasn’t the slightest sign that she could bully someone like Li Mengyue. Furthermore, Jiang Qingyue knew two of her best friend’s greatest passions: treating people to meals to share her favorite food and seeking unconventional thrills.
Li Mengyue was also a black belt in Taekwondo.
Given that, how could Ye Xiao have bullied Li Mengyue? Even an average man wouldn’t stand a chance, let alone a petite, adorable girl like Ye Xiao.
And then there was Jiang Qingyue herself. She had never taken an interest in boys, nor had anyone ever stirred her heart—until she met Ye Xiao.
Last night, when Ye Xiao was bound by Jiang Qingyue’s artistically tied knots, Jiang Qingyue had blushed and her heart had raced inexplicably.
She didn’t want to admit she might be a pervert, but it seemed she had developed feelings for Ye Xiao!
To fall for a petite little Loli—wasn’t that textbook perversion?
She had been completely unable to resist kissing Ye Xiao. If not for the crack of a whip breaking her trance, she might not have stopped herself.
Of course, Li Mengyue was even more of a deviant to have gone through with what she did to Ye Xiao.
Seeing the red marks on Ye Xiao’s body had made Jiang Qingyue’s heart ache.
Full of guilt, she had concluded she had done something unforgivable to Ye Xiao and declared her intention to take responsibility.
“Um… Xiao Xiao, where’s Mengyue?” Jiang Qingyue glanced around nervously. If her best friend found out about her and Ye Xiao spending the night together, things would be catastrophic.
Instinctively, Jiang Qingyue wanted to hide the matter. The less her best friend knew, the better.
Although she and Ye Xiao had no connection before last night, their relationship had now become extraordinarily complicated. She didn’t want this incident to create any rift between her and her best friend that might damage their bond.
Convincing herself to stay calm, she thought: Maybe it won’t come to light...
After all, they had all been drunk. Though Li Mengyue wasn’t in bed this morning, maybe there was still hope.
Timidly, Jiang Qingyue asked, “Xiao Xiao, um… do you know where your Sister Mengyue is?”
“You guess,” Ye Xiao teased, watching Jiang Qingyue with a mischievous glint.
“What is there to guess? Xiao Xiao, don’t mess with me!” Jiang Qingyue huffed, casting Ye Xiao a slightly exasperated glare. In hindsight, she regretted agreeing to help Li Mengyue last night.
If she hadn’t, none of this would have happened.
Still, if she hadn’t helped, she wouldn’t have met Ye Xiao either. Gains and losses…
The sweet tone of Jiang Qingyue’s voice sent a shiver through Ye Xiao, making her feel weak.
That voice… If Ye Xiao had been sober last night while doing what she had to Jiang Qingyue, how thrilling would it have been to hear such a sound?
Lost in fantasy for a moment, Ye Xiao snapped back as Jiang Qingyue asked seriously, “Xiao Xiao, I mean it. Where is Mengyue? Does she know about… us?”
Flustered, Jiang Qingyue turned her face away, her shy demeanor surprisingly charming.
“Mediocre big sister, do you think I’m some kind of all-knowing sage? When I woke up, it was just you and me in bed. No sign of that ‘mediocre big sister’ of yours.”
Ye Xiao watched Jiang Qingyue’s mix of shyness and nervousness and decided to stop teasing her.
Of course, Ye Xiao couldn’t tell her the truth. After all, they were all girls, no one would want such an embarrassing situation exposed. Li Mengyue certainly wouldn’t want her best friend to know she was also a “victim.”
Besides, Jiang Qingyue mistakenly thought she had taken advantage of Ye Xiao.
If Li Mengyue knew what Ye Xiao was thinking, she’d probably blow a gasket and might even suggest a repeat performance—complete with the whip and bondage from last night.
The experience was simultaneously thrilling and painful. Ye Xiao had certainly enjoyed it, but the pain was undeniable. Even now, her backside still stung.
“So, what do we do now?” Jiang Qingyue asked, pulling on her clothes and taking a deep breath. “Should I go look for her?”
Knowing Ye Xiao’s condition, Jiang Qingyue felt it was her responsibility to take charge. As a mature, independent woman, she should be the one to protect someone as fragile as Ye Xiao.
As Jiang Qingyue dressed, Ye Xiao followed suit, though the act of pulling on her underwear made the wounds on her bottom sting like needles.
“Hiss~” Ye Xiao sucked in a sharp breath, silently cursing Li Mengyue for showing no mercy last night.
All I did was tease her a little—was such punishment necessary? Truly, women can be the most merciless creatures!
After adjusting her underwear carefully, grateful for the timely application of ointment last night, Ye Xiao endured the pain and followed Jiang Qingyue—only to see her stop in surprise.
“Mediocre big sister, why aren’t you moving?”
“Uh, is Mengyue seriously still lying there?” Jiang Qingyue muttered, pointing.
Ye Xiao approached and spotted Li Mengyue sprawled on the floor, hair a mess, clutching an empty wine bottle. Her awkward sleeping position was both pitiful and amusing.
Clearly pretending to sleep.
“Ah, Mengyue, why are you lying on the floor? Did you just sleep here after getting drunk last night?” Jiang Qingyue asked, unable to hold back her laughter as Ye Xiao chuckled alongside her.
Li Mengyue, sensing the jig was up, feigned drowsiness. She sat up groggily, stealing a glance at Ye Xiao while Jiang Qingyue helped her.
Ye Xiao, struggling to suppress her laughter, caught the playful winks Li Mengyue sent her when Jiang Qingyue wasn’t looking.
It was all Ye Xiao could do not to burst out laughing.
