Ji Yuning froze, a hint of panic flashing across her eyes.
Fang Bai, however, did not take it seriously. She withdrew her finger from her lips, touched it to Ji Yuning's lips, and said softly, "It's not spread evenly here."
Ji Yuning looked away, "...Mm."
Fang Bai closed the lid and handed the lipstick to Ji Yuning. "Here, take this. Apply it when your lips are dry, otherwise they will crack and bleed, which will hurt a lot."
Ji Yuning didn't reply. She saw Fang Bai pick up the makeup mirror on the table and rub his lips with his fingers in front of the mirror.
Just a second ago, that finger was removed from her lips.
However, the ointment on her fingers was newly applied by Fang Bai.
But there might still be some residue left, right?
Ji Yuning's heart skipped a beat.
After applying his lipstick, Fang Bai turned around and saw Ji Yuning still standing to the side. He asked, "Is there anything else?"
“You…” Ji Yuning clenched her fists.
"Huh?" Fang Bai looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Ji Yuning let go of her hand, said "It's okay," and left the room without looking back.
Fang Bai felt a sense of unease.
"..."
Back in her room, Ji Yuning sat on the bed for a long time.
His cool and aloof expression gradually changed.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Yuning picked up her phone and opened the browser she had hastily closed.
This time, she didn't choose anything else, but directly typed in the question she wanted to know: "What does it feel like for two girls to kiss?"
The first webpage gave Ji Yuning the answer:
A: It's very soft and sweet!
It's very soft.
It's very sweet.
Ji Yuning's gaze fell on the strawberry-flavored lip balm on the table.
Will it taste like strawberry?
Author's Note:
Xiao Ji: Auntie's fingers taste like strawberries!
Chapter 48
Two weeks passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the second half of October.
As the weather gets colder, Fang Bai plans to take Ji Yuning to buy some thicker clothes this weekend, so that she can change into them anytime if the temperature suddenly drops.
For the past two weekends, Ji Yuning has been going out early every day and not returning until sunset, so if you want to take Ji Yuning shopping, you have to make an appointment.
“.
Fang Bai rubbed his temples with two fingers and sighed, "Ji Yuning is so busy. Compared to her, I'm just a lazy bum."
It was just lying half-flat.
When Ji Yuning returned from outside, she looked up and saw a person lazily nestled on the sofa. Her hair, gathered to one side, partially covered her cheek, and its thick, fluffy strands cascaded over her shoulders and neck, adding to her relaxed demeanor.
Hearing the noise, Fang Bai slightly opened his eyes. After seeing that it was Ji Yuning, he slowly sat up and said lazily, "You're back."
Fang Bai's face was full of gentleness, and the warmth dispelled the chill that Ji Yuning had brought into the room.
Ji Yuning nodded slightly: "Mm."
Fang Bai held Bei Bei in his arms, gently rubbing her head.
The movements were gentle and slow, extremely tender.
Upon seeing this scene, Ji Yuning, who was walking towards Fang Bai, stopped in her tracks.
After staring at Beibei for a few seconds, Ji Yuning went to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai knew Ji Yuning was looking for her when she walked around the sofa. Ji Yuning usually went straight upstairs when she got home, so coming to see her meant she had something to say.
Fang Bai asked naturally, "What's wrong?"
Fang Bai's hands kept moving, and Bei Bei's fur slipped through his fingers, entering Ji Yuning's eyes moment by moment.
Ji Yuning looked away, "The parent-teacher meeting is next Monday."
Fang Bai was taken aback, and asked in a soft voice, "Should I tell Sister Wu?"
This was the first time Fang Bai had been notified of a parent-teacher meeting since he arrived. Wu Mei had attended all the previous parent-teacher meetings, and Fang Bai assumed that Ji Yuning still meant the same thing.
The temperature in Ji Yuning's eyes dropped slightly, and she said indifferently, "Mm."
The sudden change in tone startled Fang Bai, but after a moment's thought, she concluded:
This means... is it to let her go?
"How about..." Fang Bai smiled and said softly, "I'll go?"
Ji Yuning's tense lips twitched slightly, and she said softly, "I'll pick you up at the school gate."
They really let her go.
Fang Bai shook his head and refused, saying, "I know where your classroom is."
Rejected, Ji Yuning didn't react, but nodded and hummed in agreement.
Fang Bai stroked the cat's fur. "I promised to go to the parent-teacher conference. Don't you have to promise me something too?"
Ji Yuning didn't hesitate: "Go ahead."
Fang Bai said frankly, "Come shopping with me on Saturday."
“…Okay.” Ji Yuning paused before answering.
Seeing Ji Yuning hesitate, Fang Bai asked, "Won't this interfere with your studies?"
Ji Yuning shook her head slightly: "No."
"That's good." Fang Bai's eyes crinkled with joy. "I'm fine now. You can go ahead and get busy. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Wu Mei is cooking.
"Mmm," Ji Yuning responded, without moving.
"Is there anything else?" Fang Bai asked.
Ji Yuning looked at the little white ball nestled in Fang Bai's arms and whispered, "Beibei."
Ji Yuning is either at school or out, and spends very little time at home. Beibei usually spends more time with Fang Bai. On the surface, it seems to obey Fang Bai, but when both Fang Bai and Ji Yuning call it at the same time, it will wag its tail and come to Ji Yuning.
Fang Bai had mentally complained about Bei Bei more than once.
Just like now, when Fang Bai heard Ji Yuning's shout, he also called out, "Beibei~"
The little white ball nestled in Fang Bai's arms twitched its ears and stretched lazily. The next second, ignoring Fang Bai, the little white ball jumped to the ground and walked to Ji Yuning's side, rubbing its head against her leg.
Ji Yuning squatted down, hugged Beibei in her arms, and rubbed its ears with her fingers. The little dumpling made a comfortable purring sound.
The two cuddled for about ten seconds. When Ji Yuning stopped rubbing Beibei's ears, Fang Bai reached out and said, "Okay, give it to me."
Fang Bai thought that Ji Yuning would hug Bei Bei as usual, and then return Bei Bei to her.
But to her surprise, Ji Yuning looked at her and said, "Auntie calls herself Beibei."
"?"
If she could get Beibei to do it, would she need you to give it to me?
Meeting Ji Yuning's pale eyes, Fang Bai felt a pang of longing in his heart.
However, Fang Bai also wanted to see if her position in Bei Bei's heart had improved. She licked her lips and exclaimed:
"Beibei~"
"Beibei".
"Beibei!"
“…”
After three unsuccessful attempts, the little dumpling only gave her a look before quickly looking away.
Fang Bai lifted his eyelids to look at Ji Yuning and said gently, "It's ignoring me."
Her tone was flat, but you could hear a subtle complaint beneath the calm, like a coquettish grumble.
A barely perceptible smile appeared in Ji Yuning's eyes. "Then I'll just have to carry it."
When Ji Yuning carried the cat up the stairs, Fang Bai felt an emptiness in his arms and realized what was happening:
Why are they even trying to steal the cat?
Saturday.
After breakfast, Fang Bai drove Ji Yuning to the mall.
Just like last time, the difference was that the atmosphere between the two was much more harmonious than before. Although Ji Yuning's face was still expressionless, at least she wasn't cold-faced.
After the two entered a store, Fang Bai pointed to a piece of clothing and asked Ji Yuning with his eyes what she thought of it, but Ji Yuning pursed her lips and remained silent.
Fang Bai raised an eyebrow: "Don't you like it?"
Ji Yuning nodded slightly: "It's alright."
