MTMIO Chapter 82

Lu You was dragged forward by Yue Yunxi all the way, her downward gaze fixed on Yue Yunxi’s fishtail skirt swaying with each step, like rushing waves crashing against hidden reefs, spreading from the spiral staircase to the second floor.

“Hey,” Lu You said, almost unable to keep up with her pace.

*How can she walk so fast on stilts?*

Yue Yunxi didn’t respond, heading straight to the cloakroom, pushing open the glass door of the double-sided mirror, and shoving her inside while locking the door behind her.

Lu You’s back hit the wall, and she involuntarily grabbed Yue Yunxi’s waist, nearly knocking over a vase on the nearby wooden shelf.

The white jade porcelain vase held freshly cut osmanthus branches, their twigs extending, seemingly brushing against her raised arm.

The small white flowers adorning the green leaves were fragrant, richly filling the space between them.

Yue Yunxi’s fingers caressed her neck.

The touch was soft and cool, with a moderate pressure. Lu You raised her face, feeling her skin trembling under the undeniable restraint.

Yue Yunxi leaned closer, just inches away.

In the thin air, they breathed each other’s breath.

The silvery-white light from outside, perhaps from the courtyard lamps or the moon in the sky, seeped through the glass into the unlit room.

With that dim light, she could see Yue Yunxi’s red lips, like a smeared oil painting, their color light yet thick, the air filled with the scent of orange soda watering dehydrated roses.

“What did you call me?”

She could still faintly hear the music playing on the villa’s stereo, similar in its low, husky voice, pouring out desire.

Lu You chuckled, raising her eyes to look at her, mimicking Zhou Ningmeng’s tone as she called out, “Yunxi-jie~”

Yue Yunxi curved her lips into a smile, the air stirred by her breath winding its way into her ear.

Like the tip of a feather gently sweeping, teasing out a tender meaning.

“Call me ‘jie-jie’ to hear,” Yue Yunxi said, touching the tip of her nose, “Without the name.”

Lu You smiled and asked, “Don’t you dislike me calling you ‘jie-jie’?”

“It’s different.”

“How is it different?”

Yue Yunxi raised her hand, pinching her chin, slightly tightening her grip, “The meaning is different, the difference between formality and flirting, will you call or not?”

The height difference accentuated by high heels could also create a sense of oppression.

Even though her voice was as gentle as water.

Lu You was forced to raise her face and look directly at her, struck by her beauty, and she instinctively swallowed.

“Just call once, okay?”

The soft, slow tone, enticing and alluring, reminded Lu You of the prelude to every intimate encounter.

“Jie-jie…”

Yue Yunxi stopped speaking, loosening her grip, her lowered gaze falling on her parted lips.

If gazes had force,

Lu You’s lips would probably be sucked even fuller.

Lu You’s eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head, her gaze falling into the V-shaped neckline of the fishtail skirt, slowly rising and falling with her breath, as if about to leap out at any moment.

Was it too frequent?

She realized with a start that she was so familiar with Yue Yunxi that she could judge the extent of her desire from the rhythm of her breathing.

“Why did you drag me in here?” Lu You thoughtfully asked, “I can’t afford this house, maybe if we pool our money…”

Her voice was interrupted by Yue Yunxi’s light laughter, as if laughing at what she was thinking again.

Lu You pursed her lips, raised her face, and met Yue Yunxi’s gaze, two parts provocation in her certainty, which was dragged by her voice into teasing, “I know what you want.”

Yue Yunxi raised an eyebrow, like a slightly ruffled fawn, fluffy and ticklish, making people want to tease it more, or to relieve the itch, or simply make it even itchier.

When the itch reaches its extreme, it becomes pleasure.

“What do you want?” Yue Yunxi’s fingertip rubbed over her lips, “Tell me, let me hear if your guess is right.”

Lu You widened her eyes, “You—I—” she stammered, unable to say it.

How could there be such a person in the world?

Wearing a dignified facade, she spoke directly without blushing or trembling, revealing a strongly contrasting self without hesitation.

She was no match at all.

Because she was worried that she couldn’t control her boundaries well, excessively peeling away the other person’s surface, smearing the complex background that everyone has as a person into a dirty mess in a blasphemous process.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“If my moral sense wasn’t so high—” Lu You muttered halfway, her lips grew hot, and the remaining content was swallowed by Yue Yunxi.

“With me, you can try to lower it a little,” Yue Yunxi said between kisses, “With me, you can show your bad side without any worries.”

“You’re indulging me to become bad,” Lu You’s nasal tone was heavier from being kissed.

Yue Yunxi mumbled an unclear sound, which sounded like “mm,” or a chuckle.

“Aren’t you afraid of being hurt by my badness someday?” Lu You said casually.

It was a casual remark, but the listener took it to heart.

The touch on her lips froze.

Lu You took the opportunity to take the lead, “But I can try to be a little bad in some ways, I feel like you like it quite a bit.”

She teased with a smile, “It’s true that I didn’t know how good jie-jie was when I was young.”

Whether in daily life or in that aspect, she could skillfully mobilize the emotions of someone younger.

Yue Yunxi was distracted, her half-closed eyes unfocused.

Lu You raised her hand resting on her waist, lifting it up, pinching it, and Yue Yunxi’s eyes trembled like the surface of a lake, charmingly falling into her gaze.

Yue Yunxi’s breathing became heavier, “My period is coming soon, don’t tease there, or we’ll really have to pool money to buy this place.”

Lu You honestly retracted her hand and placed it on Yue Yunxi’s lower abdomen.

Those who are about to get their period are all ancestors. Lu You didn’t bother to argue about who teased who first, only complaining, “Who told you to get distracted when you kiss. I’m starting to suspect that I’m not attractive to you anymore.”

“How could that be.” Yue Yunxi sought her lips half-coaxingly and half-flatteringly, gently touching, tenderly licking, “I was just thinking about the game from just now.”

“Mm?” Lu You’s voice slid out of her throat, while Yue Yunxi was still kissing her lips.

Sounds came from outside, the rustling sounds approaching from far away, gradually becoming clear as the crisp sounds of various high heels hitting the ground, and the interspersed voices also gradually became distinct.

“These clothes here can be rented or bought, see if there’s anything you like, take off the dirty one you’re wearing and change into it, I’ll buy it for you, I really didn’t notice just now, I spilled wine all over you, I’m sorry.” The sound of a mop.

The light in the cloakroom turned on with a “snap.”

Tuo Ba said, “Hurry up and choose, the fireworks are about to start.”

“Ugh, I’m so annoyed today,” Zhou Ningmeng said, “I’m not talking about you, I’m just, a little annoyed.”

“… I understand. I really didn’t expect Lu You to be like that, I don’t know what’s going on between her and Yunxi-jie.” Tuo Ba said “Eh?” changing the subject, “Tao Tao, did you find them?”

“No…”

Lu You turned her head, able to clearly see the people outside through the glass, only separated from them by this door.

The force on her neck increased, Lu You turned her face back, Yue Yunxi grabbed the gauze curtain with one hand, pinched her neck with the other, and leaned down to tease her sensitive ear carelessly.

Circles and circles of wetness spread.

She was doing it on purpose.

Wanting her to hear the movements outside with one ear, wanting her whole person to lose control from the sensation on the other side, unable to dodge, which would make noise, and unable to make a sound.

Lu You grabbed the pearl chain on the back of Yue Yunxi’s skirt, pulling the chain into a mess, enduring until she couldn’t bear it anymore, turning her head to bite that idle mouth of hers.

Yue Yunxi raised her chin.

Lu You then veered away to her slender neck, and then with a vengeful thought, touched the place she had told her not to tease a few minutes ago.

Every time, it would remind her of steaming buns with her grandma when she was little, before which, she had to knead the dough. Lu You liked this part the most, because it was like playing with clay in the small park, and the feel of the dough was obviously better. The dough was also good-looking, white and soft, and could be kneaded into various shapes in the palm of her hand. If she gripped it with a little force, it would playfully fill the gaps between her fingers.

Yue Yunxi’s throat rolled once and again.

It was a deliberate tease of Lu You, but she didn’t expect it to develop like this. Reason should have called a stop, but she didn’t want to, she wanted to continue.

She heard her own scattered breathing, rising and falling, like the movement of the tide, with the wetting power of the tide.

Outside the glass on the other side, suddenly, soaring fireworks shot up, splashing flowing gold ink in the inky sky in bursts.

Yue Yunxi couldn’t hold back a sound, just contained within the sound of fireworks exploding.

The light band flowing out from the door seams disappeared into the dimness and the flashing light of the fireworks with the sound of the lights being turned off.

People hadn’t gone far yet.

It was truly an environment like an illicit affair.

Her nerves stretched to the extreme, Lu You didn’t care about what the people outside were doing or talking about.

So she didn’t hear Tao Xin ask Tuo Ba, “The last time you saw Yoyo’s car, was it parked in Building B?”

The high temperature of the fireworks seemed to be burning the surrounding glass, making the atmosphere in the room hotter and hotter.

Just before things got out of control, Lu You leaned her head against the wall and suddenly pulled away, reaching out to straighten Yue Yunxi’s collar.

Yue Yunxi leaned softly on her shoulder, as if not satisfied, and was still messing with her ear.

Lu You said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t…”

Then she brought up the interrupted topic, using it to suppress a certain restlessness: “What were you going to say just now?”

Yue Yunxi’s gentle and tender voice fell in her ear, like a lover’s murmur: “If jie-jie isn’t good either, would you still want it?”

Lu You took a long, slow breath, wanting to calm the emotions that had been stirred up, but her heartbeat was disobedient no matter what, beating quickly and chaotically in the dampness remaining in her ear.

After a moment, she turned her head, her watery eyes looking at Yue Yunxi, and said, “You’re not good right now, I want it right now.”

Yue Yunxi’s eyelashes trembled, sinking heavily, but the corners of her lips slowly rose, her tone indulging: “Okay, but not here.”

“Then let’s go home.” Lu You thought for a moment, and still asked to confirm, “Do you want to see the fireworks?”

Yue Yunxi rubbed her head, saying meaningfully, “You can see them anywhere.”

Lu You nodded.

But more than ten minutes later, she truly understood the meaning of this sentence.

–

Everyone was wrapped in gorgeous, thick coats, standing in the courtyard watching the fireworks, recording video footage, with no time to care about two unimportant people leaving at this time.

Lu You sent Tuo Ba a WeChat message to politely say hello.

Going from the elevator room to the underground garage, she vaguely saw a black figure flash past the car.

But when she approached, she didn’t see anyone.

It was probably a passing owner or property personnel of the community, dressed in black from head to toe, like inconspicuous work clothes.

Lu You didn’t think much, pressed the car lock, pulled open the driver’s seat door and was about to sit in.

“I’ll drive,” Yue Yunxi said, “Your hand…”

Her voice paused abruptly, as if there was something unfinished.

Lu You thought she was worried, moved her arm and said, “I don’t feel anything anymore.”

“It will after a while,” Yue Yunxi got into the car.

“What do you mean after a while, do you think my car is a rocket, able to get home in a flash,” Lu You said amused, seeing that she had already gotten into the driver’s seat, she had to close the door and sit in the passenger seat opposite.

The mountain temperature was very low, like Ningfu Mountain in Nanquan always receiving the first snow of the year, it was still deep autumn, but there was already a faint hint of winter chill.

Yue Yunxi turned on the air conditioner, warming up quickly, and the two took off their coats before starting the car.

It wasn’t suitable to listen to soothing piano music while driving at night, and the cello music Yue Yunxi downloaded wasn’t lively enough.

Lu You laughed and said, “How come there’s no Flight of the Bumblebee.”

Yue Yunxi glanced at her hand turning the button, “Why don’t you play one?”

“… As expected of a woman who’s about to get her period.”

Yue Yunxi laughed and said, “I think you’re almost there too.”

Unable to find suitable music, Lu You turned on the radio, absentmindedly turning a few stations, thinking that it seemed to be getting closer to Yue Yunxi’s cycle.

Sure enough, when people stay together for a long time, their menstrual cycles will get very close.

The channel she randomly tuned into had the host talking about Western songs, and according to the trend of the topic, it wouldn’t be long before an English song would be played.

Lu You retracted her hand, leaned back against the seat, and turned to look out the car window.

Streetlights passed one after another, the distance between them getting bigger and bigger.

Driving to a dim section of the road, the navigation prompted: “Turn right ahead, you are about to reach your destination.”

Lu You: “?”

The car turned into a dead-end alley, reversed, and parked on the side of the road.

After the seatbelt “clicked” unlocked, Lu You’s hand was taken by Yue Yunxi.

The dampness of the wet wipe, moistened from her fingers to her forearm.

A little cold, Lu You slightly widened her eyes, her body heating up.

On the radio, the host cut into an English song, the female singer’s good voice seemed to be dyed with desire, singing the first lyric “take care of me”.

“Do you know the name of this song?” Yue Yunxi moved to sit on her lap.

Looking out from the windshield behind her, the villa area was still setting off fireworks, bursts of fire lighting up in the night.

Lu You’s breathing gradually slowed down in the knowledge of what would happen: “What’s it called?”

“belong to you.” Yue Yunxi lowered her head to kiss her, using her lips and tongue to give her the definition.

Belong to you only.

For some reason, Lu You flashed many scenes like a slideshow in her mind.

In the small building that she was about to move into, they had many times, in different rooms, like they had just been in the glass room, ambiguously entwined.

In Yue Yunxi’s bedroom, also many times, in different places, wanting her to flaunt her lips or fingers.

And now, again in her car.

It was such a subtle feeling, maybe the previous relationship wasn’t good, maybe the person who promised to witness her whole life had broken their promise.

As a result, her view of relationships was not optimistic. Even if the feelings were strong, she wouldn’t think that they could definitely reach the end.

So at this moment, she thought for no reason, what if they separated in the future. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to forget Yue Yunxi, because everywhere was left with evidence that they had once loved each other.

Maybe just stepping into those spaces could evoke these crazy memories.

The sound of the skirt tearing and restrained husky sounds were mixed in the singing.

Lu You’s thoughts returned, looking at the opened fishtail skirt.

It was a good skirt, a skirt with lotus-like steps, but now it was two separate pieces of cloth.

Lu You felt it was a pity, and also felt that it wasn’t such a pity when Yue Yunxi sat in her palm.

She was like a machine that hadn’t started up temporarily because of slow thinking.

And the person who possessed her machine was carefully polishing her mechanical arm up and down, lubricating a section thickly and wetly.

Yue Yunxi asked her what she was thinking, calling her back to her senses.

Lu You lifted the ruined skirt with her other hand and said, “Thinking, is the little mermaid about to become a human?”

It was a nonsensical sentence, and even she herself didn’t know what it meant.

Yue Yunxi was able to lightly laugh and reply yes, and then lowered her head to pick up the firefly glass bead on her necklace, gently biting it between her lips and teeth.

A layer of mist was steaming on the window glass, the air was stuffy, steaming the heated flavor of love even more intensely.

A firefly fluttered lightly in the car, the trajectory of the firelight, drawing a rising and falling sound.

Lu You felt unable to breathe, very hot, hotter than before.

Because of Yue Yunxi’s actions, because of Yue Yunxi’s expression, like holding her breath and sinking into the water of a bathtub, before suffocating, breaking through a kind of desperate impact and suddenly emerging from the water, wet broken hair sticking to her cheeks, chest rising and falling, breathing heavily.

Also, because this time they embraced each other closely, closely close to each other.

In the end, even she was drenched through like in a shower with the water valve pulled out.

Lu You felt like a fish flopping on dry land, receiving a spring rain when she was exhausted. At the moment when she got to breathe in the rain, she also had a desire for water.

Yue Yunxi reached out to her, seeming to want to, but not, instead struggling to change direction to hug her. Yue Yunxi exhaled for a long time, calming her breathing, and weakly trembled as she called her name in a breathy voice.

Lu You “mm” said a sound, soothingly kissed Yue Yunxi’s cheek, turned to look at the car window.

In her vision, the mist on the glass was thick, unable to see the way to come, and unable to see the way to go.

Lu You drew a heart on the misted glass.

The fingerprints of Yue Yunxi still remained on it, like a melting heart.

Lu You slowly blinked her eyes, looking at the marks on the misted glass.

Recalling Yue Yunxi’s hand that wanted to touch and then retracted just now, thinking of her nestled softly and weakly in her arms at this moment, thinking of the hesitation and hesitation revealed in her eyebrows and eyes at that moment.

It seemed like she was too tired.

But it was also very much like Tao Xin, who didn’t dare to be too intimate with her in the past.

An idea emerged for no reason, she felt that Yue Yunxi didn’t dare to break through the last layer with her.

Why?
