SWG Chapter 3

Chapter 3

“Do you… want to kiss me?”

Ruan Shengyi felt a little dizzy. Before she could react to what was happening, she had already lost the initiative. Her back was pressed against the wall through her thin shirt, the cool tiles burning her skin, and her head was spinning.

What happened? How did things turn out like this?

She had just been fanning herself, trying to quell the excitement, but the person who had returned had taken long strides, with a mocking smile, hesitant to speak.

Ruan Shengyi supported herself on the sink with her hand, her expression ambiguous: “Didn’t you leave?”

Why did she come back, and even came here?

Xiao Wenyu adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder, smiling gently: “Didn’t Ruan Shengyi say that Tonight Intoxicated is a place to find happiness?”

“Tonight Intoxicated is a place to find happiness through alcohol.”

The woman casually tossed her handbag aside, her waist swaying slightly, each step hitting Ruan Shengyi’s heart, until she stood in front of her and looked up at her—

Yes, Ruan Shengyi was taller after all, so that at this moment, she could clearly see the light from the overhead lamp shining on Xiao Wenyu’s face.

This woman was finally willing to stand in the light, allowing people to take a good look at her.

Ruan Shengyi thought, raising her hand to pull her knitted cardigan tighter around herself.

“Cold.” She offered a weak and pale explanation for her actions.

The woman glanced at her sideways, and chuckled again, “Tonight Intoxicated is a place to find happiness through alcohol.”

She slowly repeated Ruan Shengyi’s words, making her face burn, and two suspicious red clouds instantly appeared on her fair cheeks.

Then, a finger gently touched her face.

Slightly cool, with a faint fragrance.

Xiao Wenyu’s thin lips parted slightly, and she said, “Then what were you thinking just now?”

Her finger slowly slid across her increasingly hot cheek, and touched the tip of her nose, “And what were you doing before?”

Ruan Shengyi: “I…”

Before she could say a complete sentence, she was suddenly pulled away from the sink by the woman, her upper body, clad only in a thin shirt, pressed against the cool wall. She could even easily feel the texture of the tiles and the moisture left by years of humidity, piercing Ruan Shengyi’s head through the thin, white shirt.

The woman’s fingers slid to her lips at this moment, her voice low, gentle, and husky, “Just now, did you want to kiss me, or did you want to do something more?”

Ruan Shengyi subconsciously supported herself on her, which brought them even closer.

“Weren’t you quite proactive just now?” Xiao Wenyu said with a bit of coquettishness, tapping her forehead with two fingers, “Why are you so dumb now?”

Ruan Shengyi: “Why did you come back?”

The woman smiled casually and said, “My house is nearby, just passing by.”

“…”

“Then…”

Red lips were close at hand, the red lips that Ruan Shengyi had fallen in love with at first sight were close at hand.

She thought, why not give it a try?

The woman’s beautiful, soft eyes contained encouragement, gently nodding, as if also encouraging her.

Ruan Shengyi tried to inch closer to that red color, until a slight bitterness permeated her mouth.

This was not the taste of wine, but like wine, it made her dizzy.

A few strands of the carelessly pinned up black hair fell loose, mixing with Xiao Wenyu’s chestnut brown hair, obscuring the overlapping red lips, and also obscuring the increasingly smudged lipstick marks.

Ruan Shengyi subconsciously tightened her hands around the woman’s waist, feeling that the person who had nothing to rely on could only use her upper body for support to avoid falling, feeling the confusion and helplessness amidst the flow of heat.

And, a little bit of unease.

Suddenly, she turned her head, letting the lipstick, moistened by the water vapor, leave an ugly mark on her cheek.

She tried to calm her light panting, and said with difficulty in the gaps, “I’m sorry.”

As expected, she still couldn’t accept such a move, couldn’t accept taking it a step further.

Xiao Wenyu wiped the smudged lipstick mark from the corner of her lips, silently stepped back slowly, then looked at herself in the mirror, looking at her eyes, which were moist and bright like stars reflecting each other, without resentment or anger, and said calmly, “I should be the one saying thank you.”

“Thank you.”

“You…”

The woman walked over to pick up her bag, slung it over her shoulder again, “Ruan Shengyi, remember to wipe your lip before you go out.”

“…”

“And one more thing.” Xiao Wenyu turned her head to look at her, smiling gently, “You are really beautiful, there is absolutely no hidden meaning in that.”

“…”

Ruan Shengyi leaned against the wall, feeling the distinct tiles behind her back. The tiles had been warmed up a lot by her body, and now leaning against them again wouldn’t give her that dizzying feeling of coldness.

But she was still dizzy.

She watched the woman leave with a slight twist of her willow waist, feeling a sense of oxygen deprivation, so dizzy that she couldn’t even stand, and could only lean against the wall and slowly sit down, gasping for breath, almost burying herself in the ground.

After a long time, so long that Ruan Shengyi felt that her face was no longer so hot, she finally stood up with the support of the wall and smiled self-deprecatingly.

As expected, it was still like this.

She slowly walked towards the outside with the support of the wall, completely forgetting Xiao Wenyu’s instructions before leaving, until she saw Xie Yu, whose face was full of curiosity and inquiry, and who liked to join in on the fun the most, peeking at her…

Ruan Shengyi slowly regained her senses, and said sternly, “What are you looking at?”

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment by the shout, and only six dots flew across her mind.

“…” Isn’t this person sick?

Wasn’t she concerned about her?

Wasn’t she afraid that the woman who looked very knowledgeable would deceive their boss, who was already 27 years old and had never been in a relationship?

Now it seemed that worrying was useless, her boss seemed to have been bullied, and there was no turning back.

Too miserable.

Ruan Shengyi, in that moment of her daze, saw the shape of a “ghost” in her eyes. That “ghost” was very beautiful, but her eyes were frighteningly bright, and her cheeks were red, as if she had drunk herself into a drunken stupor, and could only walk in a floating and unsteady manner, neither human nor ghost.

She was stunned for a moment, and said with difficulty: “Didn’t you want to mix me a lethal dose of See You Tomorrow? I’m waiting for you.”

Xie Yu slowly typed out a question mark.

Xie Yu: “Boss, if something happened, don’t scare me. We can sue her, boss, look at me.”

Ruan Shengyi shook her head weakly, “Nothing happened, it’s okay, I just suddenly want to drink.”

When a person who is usually irresponsible really becomes reliable, they are quite reliable. She turned around and picked up the measuring cup, precisely mixing a drink for Ruan Shengyi, who looked very wrong, and stole some time from her busy schedule to say: “Boss, why don’t you go sit down first, and I’ll bring it to you later?”

“I’m going upstairs first, you can come up later.”

Her bar was divided into two floors with a loft. The first floor was the hall for drinking, the second floor was some small private rooms. Recently, business hadn’t been good, and it was much deserted here. The small loft was where she usually lived.

The layout of the shops on this street was like this, but most people lived on the second floor, only people like her would hide themselves in the loft.

Ruan Shengyi turned on the light in the loft, the light flashed, and then went out.

It wasn’t her light, but the light in the loft of the shop across the street.

That shop had already been sold, before Ruan Shengyi came here two years ago. But no one had ever come to fix it up. The owners of the house were really rich, and didn’t even consider renting it out. They just left it there to gather dust, and passed the peak of housing prices. Now selling it would be a bit of a loss.

But what did that have to do with her?

Ruan Shengyi pulled the curtains, and suddenly remembered something.

She remembered that the shop across the street had only started renovations in the past month. Could people already live in the loft? That was pretty fast, but it always felt like it wouldn’t be good for their health.

But that really had nothing to do with her.

Ruan Shengyi pulled the curtains, casually turned off the light, and plunged into the bed, breathing heavily, becoming increasingly drowsy, and buried herself in the cotton.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of slippers shuffling. A familiar female voice appeared in her ears again tonight, with a bit of ease: “You say you’re afraid of intimate behavior, then why not try it together and see how far you can go?”

Ruan Shengyi suddenly raised her head. Xiao Wenyu, wearing a light purple long robe and pajamas, was looking at her with a smile. Her chestnut brown hair was still a little damp, obediently lying on one side of her shoulder, adding a bit of gentleness.

But…

“You, why are you here again?”

“Again?” Xiao Wenyu tilted her head in confusion, “Did I leave?”

Ruan Shengyi: …

This was a bit scary, sister.

She had clearly watched Xiao Wenyu leave Tonight Intoxicated, how could she be mistaken!

Xiao Wenyu smiled helplessly, bent down and leaned over. The wide pajamas revealed her fair chest, and her chestnut brown hair fell just right, covering the whiteness in front of her chest, leaving only a glimpse of what was hidden.

The woman reached out a finger and gently touched the nose of the person who was still nervous, saying, “I know you’re afraid, so let’s try it once tonight and see what your limit is, okay?”

“…” Ruan Shengyi was even more dizzy.

But Xiao Wenyu had already sat on the edge of the bed and started taking off her pajamas.

Her jade-like back was particularly soft under the light, her waist dimple holding a handful of shadows, outlining a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand. The woman’s own fingers slid across her side, and the pajamas fell to the edge of the bed, then slowly reached over and grasped Ruan Shengyi’s completely stiff hands.

“Come on.” Her voice was soft and low, like velvet lightly brushing her heart.

Ruan Shengyi seemed to have lost all her strength, and was actually led by her, and lay on the soft bed with her.

The dim light in the loft had turned into the best filter at this time, outlining the woman’s face with a bit of warm yellow.

Ruan Shengyi looked down at her like this, trying to see through what the person in front of her wanted to do.

Suddenly, the right hand that was supporting the bed was gently tugged. The woman held her right hand and slid it along her smooth and soft waist, gently touching her lips that had not been decorated with lipstick, feeling her lips opening and closing under her fingers, and even feeling the fine lip lines.

“First of all, it’s here.”

Ruan Shengyi looked at their intertwined hands, and the two fingers that were extended at the same time rubbed on the lip beads, soft and light, but with a very difficult to describe feeling.

“Secondly, it’s…”

The hand that was being held slowly went down, brushing over her fair skin, but Ruan Shengyi’s pupils trembled even more severely. Before the next step could come, she screamed and jumped out of the bed.

Her head even hit the back wall.

It hurt so much.

She covered the back of her head and knelt on the bed in pain.

But there was no blame from the woman, nor was there any comfort from this person.

There wasn’t even the sound of breathing, the surroundings were quiet.

And also drowned in a piece of darkness.

Ruan Shengyi groped for the light, and it was still the familiar loft, still the familiar dim yellow light, but there was no fragrance from the dark night, and no chestnut brown hair.

So it was a dream.

But the pain in the back of her head couldn’t be brought about by a dream.

She plunged back into the cotton with some annoyance, turned her head to look out of the small window of the loft, and slowly exhaled.

The lights were also on across the street, were they also unable to sleep?

What time was it? Why weren’t they asleep yet?

She pushed the already empty See You Tomorrow to the side, scoffing in her heart at Xie Yu’s terrible bartending skills now, and groped for her phone.

What See You Tomorrow, she had only slept until five in the morning.

In this small city in the west and north, the sky wasn’t even bright at this time in autumn, and there were still three hours until the so-called tomorrow.

Three hours.

She dimmed the phone screen, looking at her dazed self in the gray screen.

Unbearable to look at directly.

But once she looked away, she didn’t know where to look.

…
