SYLM Chapter 115

Chapter 115 “Do you want me to rub your back for you?”

Chapter 115 “Do you want me to rub your back for you?”

Don’t go. Stay.

The voice behind her carried a wet tremble, and slender arms wrapped around her like vines. Chen Lu could clearly feel the rapid, rising and falling chest of the person behind her pressing tightly against her back, as if afraid she would disappear in the next second.

Since they had met, Chen Lu had never heard such words from Gu Wan Jun’s mouth. The image this person had always projected was too strong, seemingly able to face everything with equanimity, and seemingly able to live without anyone.

Feeling the trembling warmth of the person behind her, Chen Lu froze in place, her tone indifferent:

“I have a girlfriend. Gu Wan Jun is a role model of high moral character. Just a few days ago, didn’t you tell me to cherish my relationship with my girlfriend? What is this now?”

“……”

The arms around her waist noticeably stiffened for a moment. The unpleasantness of two weeks ago opened a bottomless chasm between them. Gu Wan Jun blinked rapidly, biting her lip and saying nothing. Language had always been her strongest weapon, but at this moment, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Yes, the words of blessing were spoken by her, and telling Chen Lu and Li Sha to be happy was also said by her. All the sanctimonious, seemingly generous performances were acted out by her.

But she regretted it now, could she?

A suffocating silence spread between them. Feeling the force around her waist tightening, Chen Lu couldn’t help but frown. Even though she felt a little uneasy, she still warned herself not to compromise so easily this time.

After waiting for a long time, with no response from the person behind her, Chen Lu ruthlessly pried open those trembling hands. The moment she turned around, she clearly saw Gu Wan Jun’s reddened eyes and tightly clenched fists.

Thinking she was about to leave, Gu Wan Jun sniffled and tried to cling to her again, regardless of everything. Chen Lu’s face was cold as she raised her hand to hold the other person’s thin shoulder:

“I told you, I have a girlfriend.”

“Lu Lu…”

Gu Wan Jun opened her mouth, her voice terribly hoarse. She suddenly grabbed Chen Lu’s hand that was resting on her shoulder and stubbornly pressed it to her heart:

“I… I’ll do whatever you want me to do… I’ll do better than Li Sha…”

The always gentle and radiant peach blossom eyes were filled with shimmering light, and a hint of unprecedented, desperate entreaty and determination:

“Could you… could you love me…?”

“……”

The rapid heartbeat transmitted from her palm felt like a cry for help through the thin clothing, making Chen Lu’s hand ache. A buzzing sound filled her ears, and she almost softened.

Saying you love someone is easy, but actually doing it is another matter entirely.

If Gu Wan Jun was still taking one step forward and a hundred steps back like before, would they still be entangled?

Why bother?

Why bother, Gu Wan Jun?

She was really tired.

Meeting those eyes that would move anyone, Chen Lu clenched her thighs hard with her fingers hanging by her side, and hardened her heart to say:

“Didn’t you keep saying it was for my own good and that you would never delay my happiness? What are you doing now? Want to be a third party?”

“……”

The words “third party” stabbed Gu Wan Jun’s heart. Her eyes were terribly red, but she still stubbornly moved forward, refusing to let her tears fall:

“Lu Lu… I… I…”

After “I” for a long time, she couldn’t “I” out a sentence that Chen Lu wanted to hear.

Is it so hard to say “I like you”?

Weren’t you good at saying it before?

What are you doing now?

Looking at the person in front of her, her mouth opening and closing as if stuck on rewind, Chen Lu’s anger flared up. Sick of this person’s repeated retreats and abandonments, she was going all out this time, and immediately took out her phone:

“You want me to stay? It’s simple.”

Her fingertip traced a cold light on the screen. Chen Lu decisively brought up her contacts list, her thumb hovering over the dial button, her tone colder than the night wind in the dead of winter:

“You call Li Sha now and tell her that we slept together and that you want me to stay. If you can do it, I might consider your request.”

“……”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Wan Jun’s face turned instantly pale, drained of blood.

This request almost shattered the decency and self-respect she had maintained for so many years.

Recalling Chen Lu’s generous introduction of Li Sha when they first met, recalling Li Sha’s smiling narration of their romantic love story, recalling Chen Lu’s bright-eyed and smiling appearance every night when she called Li Sha…

Now she wanted to keep Chen Lu.

On what basis should she keep Chen Lu?

How could she utter such vile, shameless, selfish, and despicable words?

What exactly was she doing?

As if someone had grabbed her throat, Gu Wan Jun felt a terrible bitterness in her tongue, and a trace of hesitation arose in her heart. But when she met Chen Lu’s bright and firm eyes, she had a strong premonition that if she couldn’t keep her this time, she would really have no chance in this lifetime.

After waiting for a long time with no response, as if she had expected this outcome, Chen Lu sneered:

“If you won’t say it, forget it.”

After saying that, she made to leave, but the next second, she was hugged tightly from behind. Scalding moisture burned her nape, piercing through two hearts:

“If I say it… will you stay…?”

“……”

Chen Lu froze for a moment, broke free from the embrace, and turned back around.

The thick, long eyelashes in front of her were trembling non-stop, but she didn’t dare to look directly into her eyes.

“You’ll say it?”

“Yeah…”

“You can say it?”

“……”

Gu Wan Jun choked, nodding in silence, her fingers clutching Chen Lu’s hem tightly, like a drowning person grasping at the last piece of driftwood.

She was afraid.

Chen Lu blinked, staring intently at the crown of the person in her arms.

The ringing tone sounded a dozen times, and Li Sha finally answered.

“Hello—”

The crisp and cheerful voice was cut off in the earpiece the moment the phone was connected. Before Gu Wan Jun could react, Chen Lu directly cupped that astonished face and kissed her head-on.

This kiss carried years of suppressed resentment and desire. The raven-like eyelashes trembled in shock. Gu Wan Jun was stiff at first, but after she realized what was happening, tears finally couldn’t help but fall down, the cold, salty taste melting in their entangled and rapid breaths.

This kiss was chaotic, but it burned the tip of one’s heart.

She kept her. She really kept her.

The long-accumulated sourness in her heart completely overwhelmed Gu Wan Jun. She raised her hand to hook Chen Lu’s neck, like a believer offering a sacrifice, reverently offering her trembling body and burning soul to the girl she loved the most.

……

In the bathroom, the rush of water could not drown out the deafening beating of the heart.

The dry wasteland meets the explorer who are searching for her across the mountains.

“A small lotus only shows its budding horn, and already a dragonfly is standing on it.”

Explorers are down-to-earth, practical people who, once they identify a clear goal, work diligently and persevere.

“Clinging tightly to the green hills, I will not relax, my roots firmly planted in the broken rocks.”

Finally, heaven does not disappoint those who have a heart, and everything falls into place.

“Peach blossoms scatter in all directions, peaches weigh down the branches.”

Tsk, sweet.

People are greedy.

While enjoying the fruits of their labor, the explorer had a flash of inspiration, South-to-North Water Diversion, reverse irrigation.

A teacher once taught her that one should have a long-term vision and know how to be grateful.

Wouldn’t this provide a continuous source of water?

On the wall, the mirror was misty, a cloud of steam.

The cedar-scented body wash mixed with the warm water vapor made both of their cheeks flushed red. The cold hard tiles on the back and the soft warmth in front of the body formed a strong contrast, which made people shudder. Gu Wan Jun bites her lip and feels hot all over and her legs go limp. In a moment of dizziness, she completely handed over the right to use her body.

“Gu Wan Jun.”

“Mmm…”

“Look at me.”

“Mmm… Look…”

“Who am I?”

“You are… you are Chen Lu…”

A hazy, watery look filled the beautiful peach blossom eyes. Meeting the little girl’s bright and burning eyes, Gu Wan Jun heard her own crashing breath.

“Say it again.”

“You are… you are Lu Lu…”

“Didn’t you say before that you really loved me, that you couldn’t live without me, that you would pester me until I said I loved you again? Why have you forgotten so quickly?”

“I… Lu Lu… Lu Lu…” Gu Wan Jun was about to cry.

“Do you like me?”

“Like… Like…”

“Love me?”

“Love…”

“Say you love me.”

“I… I love you…”

“Gu Wan Jun, I have a very high alcohol tolerance, I’ve never been drunk.”

“……”

“The last time, the time before that, and the time before that, I’m still angry about it, shouldn’t you make it up to me?”

“……”

Dense, fine kisses landed on her forehead, and bright, sparkling eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.

Don’t forget the well-digger when you drink the water.

The well-digger is still not satisfied.

Change the venue, come again.

In the bedroom, the bathroom faucet didn’t seem to be tightened, and the sound of dripping could be heard clearly from the bed.

But no one cared about it at the moment.

Gu Wan Jun couldn’t even protect herself.

The previous dry wasteland was now full of spring, seems to be afraid of wasting water. The mimosa keeps shrinking and refuses to stretch.

Hot breath wrapped around the ankles, the wet hair now sweeps over the butterfly bone.

For you, a thousand times over.

The result of toil all over was that Chen Lu had to scoop the person in her arms into the bathroom again. By the time she was busy and lay down on the bed, it was already three in the morning.

If they didn’t sleep, the sky would be bright soon.

Gu Wan Jun, who had been tossed around for most of the night, had already fallen asleep in a daze. She seemed to be really tired.

The familiar scent was close at hand. Chen Lu put her arms around her and closed her eyes with satisfaction.

She was clearly smiling, but uncontrollable tears slid across the corners of her eyes, secretly wetting the pillow.

She had finally waited for this day.

Good night, Gu Wan Jun.

—-

The next day, Gu Wan Jun was the first to wake up.

She was awakened by the heat. When she drowsily opened her eyes, the face that had appeared countless times in her dreams came into view.

But now it was close at hand.

The beautiful and chaotic scenes of last night flooded into her mind, and Gu Wan Jun’s cheeks gradually became hot.

In this situation today, she probably couldn’t go to school.

Gu Wan Jun pursed her lips and carefully moved her body, trying to get up to get her phone without waking Chen Lu, but found that she was firmly held in the other person’s arms. Slender arms were across her waist, the force not great but with an undeniable possessiveness. Chen Lu, in her sleep, unconsciously rubbed her neck, and the warm breath sprayed on her sensitive skin, causing a slight tremor.

Gu Wan Jun held her breath, afraid of disturbing the sweet dream of the person in her arms.

She finally managed to reach the phone on the bedside table. Gu Wan Jun bit her lip and typed a message to the grade director to ask for leave. The reason for the leave was [sudden high fever].

This was not entirely false, her face was really frighteningly hot now.

After sending the message, Gu Wan Jun lay on her side, carefully examining the lover who was close at hand.

The little girl was a very good sleeper, both well-behaved and cute.

It had been five years, and she hadn’t had a good look at her for a long time.

Looking at that quiet and beautiful face, Gu Wan Jun stared in a daze and couldn’t help reaching out her hand, but her fingertips stopped just as she was about to touch the other person’s cheek, afraid of disturbing this hard-won tenderness.

Seeming to realize that someone was staring at her, the body in her arms suddenly moved. Chen Lu hadn’t opened her eyes yet, but a slightly hoarse voice floated over first:

“Why are you looking at me?”

Gu Wan Jun’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to look away, but she couldn’t bear to. “How did you know I was looking at you?”

“I just know.”

Chen Lu chuckled softly and snuggled into Gu Wan Jun’s arms like a satiated cat, rubbing her head against the other person’s shoulders and neck, her voice soft to an unbelievable extent:

“Did I delay you from going to work?”

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t like working anyway.”

After saying this, Gu Wan Jun herself was stunned.

Having been a teacher for so many years, she had never said such willful words.

Chen Lu closed her eyes and raised the corners of her lips, apparently very satisfied with this answer. Slender fingers drew ambiguous circles on the waist of the person in her arms, deliberately asking, “Are you tired last night?”

“……”

Gu Wan Jun felt all the blood in her body rush to her face, and didn’t say a word for a long time.

Why did this person still ask knowingly? Who was it that tormented her to the point of begging for mercy last night?

Fortunately, Chen Lu didn’t continue to make things difficult for her, but seriously rubbed Gu Wan Jun’s back while saying, “I was a little unrestrained last night, I’ll pay attention next time.” She had a well-behaved appearance as if she knew her mistake and would correct it, as if the little devil who had eaten her clean last night wasn’t her.

Hearing Chen Lu say this, Gu Wan Jun’s heart softened, and she felt a little guilty.

She and Chen Lu were ten years apart, and it was normal for young people to have stronger desires in this regard. Moreover, throughout the whole night, Chen Lu took very good care of her, both physically and emotionally. Would her reaction just now be a little disappointing and hurt the little girl’s heart?

Gu Wan Jun was a little worried. Just as she was hesitating whether to say something, Chen Lu suddenly leaned closer to her, her bright, sparkling eyes staring straight at her:

“Is Teacher Gu going out today?”

“Hmm?”

Gu Wan Jun was a little puzzled. Following the little girl’s gaze, she looked down, her eyes went black, and she suddenly gasped!

The scattered red marks were like flowers blooming on her chest, how could she go out like this!

Chen Lu!

Gu Wan Jun was both ashamed and annoyed.

She was still feeling guilty just now, this person was simply insatiable!

……

After seriously rubbing her back for a while, the two of them went to wash up like Siamese twins.

Seeming to remember something, Gu Wan Jun pulled on Chen Lu’s clothes at the bathroom door, her tone a little apprehensive:

“Chen Lu, about Li Sha…”

The name “Li Sha” awakened all the unease in Chen Lu’s heart. Looking at Gu Wan Jun’s tangled and complicated expression, the clear crescent eyes instantly narrowed into a dangerous arc, and her tone became a little cold:

“Gu Wan Jun, you wouldn’t say that you regret it now, would you?”

“No! Of course not! I don’t regret it!”

Gu Wan Jun was a little anxious, and her already hoarse voice directly broke:

“I just… just think that we should confess to Li Sha as soon as possible, we can’t keep her in the dark…”

“Oh, so in the end, you’re worried about Li Sha.”

Chen Lu deliberately dragged out her tone, her voice sounding a little pitiful, causing Gu Wan Jun a burst of heartache. She immediately grabbed the little girl’s arm, her voice changing in anxiety:

“No! Of course not! I’m worried about you, I don’t want you to face those bad things alone, I don’t want you to be embarrassed, let’s face all the problems together, okay? If Li Sha is angry, let her come at me, I—”

The unfinished words were blocked on the tip of her tongue by a gentle kiss. Chen Lu cupped her face and touched her nose with her nose, her eyebrows and eyes curved into beautiful crescents:

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, I’ll ask her out sometime later, but can you wash up and feed me first, I used a lot of energy last night.”

“……”

With Chen Lu saying she was hungry, Gu Wan Jun’s washing speed set a new record.

However, before the two could decide what to eat later, the phone that Chen Lu had casually thrown on the sofa last night suddenly rang.

It was a video request from Jiang Zhen Zhen.

Chen Lu took the glass of warm water from Gu Wan Jun in one hand and pressed the answer button with the other.

Her friend’s life studying in Germany was very busy, and she rarely made video calls. This video call came so suddenly, there must be something urgent.

“Hello, Zhen Zhen.”

“Lu Lu.”

The familiar face appeared on the screen, but her expression looked inexplicably solemn, causing Chen Lu’s heart to tighten:

“Zhen Zhen, what’s wrong, did something happen?”

“Lu Lu, do you know that Teacher Tang is divorced?”

“Wh-What?” Chen Lu’s hand trembled, and the water glass almost fell over: “What did you say? Tang Ying is divorced?”

“You don’t know about this?”

“……”

Chen Lu’s pupils continued to shake. Before she could confirm the truth of this news with Gu Wan Jun, a sigh came from the video, and Jiang Zhen Zhen’s tone sounded quite troubled:

“Teacher Tang came to me this morning, she asked me if I knew Fu Yi Wen’s whereabouts.”

“Lu Lu, is Fu Yi Wen hiding from Teacher Tang? What’s the situation between them now? Have they broken up?”

“……”
