Elysia's little schemes?

In the pitch-black living room, on the sofa, the two could see the light in each other's eyes.

"Uh, Elysia?"

"..."

Elysia didn't speak. Lin Li couldn't see the expression on her face, only that she had gotten off the sofa.

Thank goodness, Elysia didn't take advantage of the situation, Lin Li thought to herself, feeling relieved.

But she didn't think that way the next moment, because Elysia picked her up again!

"Wait, Elysia, put me down..."

"No." Elysia's voice held a hint of grievance. "Xiao Li, let's continue in the room, okay?"

"No..."

Elysia, what are you saying! Why are you acting so strange?

Lin Li struggled. Being held by Elysia now gave her a better leverage point without hurting her.

Soon, she was down and ran to the entryway to turn on the light.

Elysia bit her lower lip, standing at the bedroom door, on the verge of tears.

Lin Li felt a pang of sympathy but still opened the door. Danzhu and Cang Xuan were standing outside. Danzhu was in the middle of a very exaggerated explanation when she stopped abruptly as the door opened.

"Lin Li, can we come in now?" Danzhu leaned to the side, looking into the room. From her angle, she could no longer see Elysia.

However, she could see that Lin Li's entire face was red. Without needing to guess, she knew what these two had just experienced.

"Um... come in." Lin Li noticed both sisters' gazes fixed on her face, her cheeks growing hotter. She turned and went back to Elysia's side, pulling her into the bedroom.

Danzhu found the remote on the single sofa and turned on SpongeBob SquarePants. The moment the TV sound started, she began chatting with Cang Xuan again.

After all, they were talking about Lin Li and Elysia, so they definitely wouldn't be overheard.

In the bedroom, Lin Li and Elysia sat on the edge of the bed, both silent.

Elysia kept her head down, her delicate lips slightly pouted, looking wronged and difficult to appease.

Lin Li held her hand but didn't know what to say. The purple in her eyes gradually dimmed.

A wave of guilt washed over her.

"Elysia... I'm sorry."

Lin Li gently rubbed Elysia's hand, trying to get some kind of response.

But the other seemed genuinely upset, not even shifting her gaze.

"..."

Lin Li wasn't good at comforting people. Come to think of it, the current situation was really her fault.

She had made a promise herself but kept wanting to postpone it...

It seemed she had to try that.

Lin Li took a deep breath and kissed Elysia's fair cheek.

It wasn't too hard or too soft, just the right amount of pressure.

Elysia's eyes suddenly lit up, but Lin Li didn't notice.

She thought this method wouldn't work either and felt even more guilty.

The warm lamplight in the room seemed to carry a hint of coldness. Lin Li tightly gripped Elysia's hand, her fingers intertwined.

Lin Li was truly afraid that Elysia would be sad because she didn't keep her promise and would then ignore her.

Well... it could only be said that their innocent, cute, and simple Xiao Li was so stunned by seeing Elysia like this for the first time that she couldn't even think straight.

Though, she wasn't exactly smart...

Actually, if you thought about it carefully, how could Elysia possibly ignore her? Elysia had already done such intimate things before. Why would she get angry over a kiss?

While disappointment was certain, it would disappear quickly.

Elysia felt the current situation was perfect.

Xiao Li felt guilty, which was her perfect opportunity. If she just waited a little longer, Xiao Li would become more proactive.

Elysia lowered her head, thinking, trying hard to keep her lips from curving up.

But it was difficult to do so with her excited emotions.

"Elysia..."

Lin Li called out again, but this time Elysia actually turned her head away.

She thought, Oh no, but in reality, Elysia did it because she couldn't suppress the curve of her lips any longer.

If Xiao Li saw her smiling now, Xiao Li would definitely be angry for a long time, and then it would be her turn to appease Xiao Li.

"..."

Lin Li gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and then picked Elysia up in a princess carry, laying her on the bed before turning to embrace her.

She closed her eyes, guided by touch to find Elysia's lips, and pressed her own gently against them.

Soft and yielding, it felt like tasting jelly, making her almost unable to stop.

"!!"

Elysia was shocked. Although she had envisioned the best possible outcome, she wasn't actually prepared for it.

So, what should she do now? Respond to Xiao Li, or...?

Elysia didn't know what the next step was after their lips met, nor could she think of anything. So, she remained still, letting Lin Li stay pressed against her.

It felt very comfortable. She could also smell the floral scent from Xiao Li, and now she knew what it was: a faint scent of gardenia.

Xiao Li's lips were so soft. She had accidentally touched them before when Xiao Li was sleeping and had wanted to taste them for a long time.

"..."

Maybe she should respond? Otherwise, Xiao Li might be very sad.

With that thought, Elysia opened her arms, embracing Lin Li, and used her legs to leverage herself, pulling the other girl onto her.

Xiao Li was so light. No wonder people always said she was heavy, but she was actually just at the standard weight... just heavier relative to Xiao Li.

Lin Li noticed Elysia's movement and knew she was responding and wasn't angry anymore. She opened her eyes, wanting to get off her.

But Elysia held her too tightly, making it impossible for her head to shift even slightly. She could only maintain this position.

It wasn't impossible to break free forcefully, but Elysia would definitely get hurt if she did.

"Mmm..."

After some time, Lin Li's eyes grew hazy, and her breathing quickened.

Elysia thought she liked the feeling and became even more reluctant to let go.

But in reality, Lin Li just felt her body getting too hot. This strange feeling was really uncomfortable!

Lin Li started kicking her legs wildly, and Elysia had no choice but to let go.

It seemed like their lips had been pressed together for a long time, maybe... over a minute?

This was truly... so romantic~?

Lin Li lay beside Elysia, gasping for air, her hands clasped over her chest.

After recovering, she turned to look at Elysia and noticed that the color of her pupils was gradually turning pinkish-purple, seeming to resemble the purple in her own eyes, though lighter.

They shimmered with a captivating glow under the warm bedroom light.

"Xiao Li, I want more..." Elysia said coquettishly.

"...No, I can't." Lin Li felt a shiver run down her spine, like her ears were about to get pregnant, but she was relieved.

It seemed Elysia was truly not angry anymore, so it was worth it!

But this was her first kiss... and she gave it to another girl like herself, Elysia...

Lin Li didn't know how to describe her feelings now, but it was... very strange?

"Um... I'm going to take a shower first, wait for me," Lin Li said, standing up and stretching her neck.

That was the part that hurt the most from being held by Elysia just now.

Honestly, if you're going to hug, why hug so tightly...

"I want to wash too..." Elysia started speaking in a spoiled tone again, grabbing Lin Li's hand to stop her from leaving.

"...You can wash after I'm done," Lin Li said helplessly.

"Nooo, I want to wash with Xiao Li..."

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Li didn't know what she was thinking. Her already red cheeks now looked like they were about to bleed.

Taking advantage of Elysia's momentary distraction, she quickly pulled her hand away and ran into the bathroom.

Elysia smiled, touched her lips, and licked them again.

Hmph, Xiao Li, you have my first kiss now, you'll never escape me.

Mmm... When would be a good time to confess to Xiao Li? Today... seems a bit too sudden, although today does feel appropriate. But it's inevitable that it would be seen as an impulsive act.

Should I set it for her birthday? Oh, right, she hasn't even asked Xiao Li when her birthday is. Damn it, after being with Xiao Li for so many days, she hasn't even asked about such an important date.

What was she even doing when she walked with Xiao Li usually!

The sound of rushing water from the bathroom made it impossible for Elysia to think carefully about the past.

If she could, she wanted to burst into the bathroom and lie in the bathtub with Xiao Li, and then... uh, and then what?

It seemed like skin contact was already a very intimate thing. Of course, there was kissing, but what else could be done besides that?

"..."

Elysia huddled in the covers, fidgeting with the blanket, as if she had already imagined the blanket was Lin Li.

Of course, the pillow couldn't escape Elysia's abuse either.

Elysia's scent is all over me, really, once I get a taste, I just can't stop.

It's all your fault, Xiao Li, humph, take this!

So when Lin Li came out wrapped in a bath towel, she saw the blanket moving around.

I have to say, it was quite comical, she even thought a thief had broken into the house.

But Danzhu and Cang Xuan are outside, so it should have been those two sisters who came in... so what was Elysia doing?

Elysia, who was having a blast playing by herself, didn't notice the sound of the water in the bathroom stopping.

In her fantasy, she had already pinned Lin Li down and started getting handsy, touching wherever she wanted, hehe, it was so...

"..."

Lin Li lifted the blanket, and the dim yellow light shone into the covers. Elysia froze, her whole body stiffening, and immediately covered her face.

W(?Д?)w, when did Xiao Li get out!

What should I do? Did Xiao Li see my childish side? So embarrassing...

"Uh, Elysia, what were you just doing?" Lin Li asked, tilting her head in confusion. She pulled the blanket back up, leaving enough space for Elysia's head, then turned to the closet to find two pajamas.

"N-nothing, Xiao Li, are you done showering?"

"..." Lin Li frowned at the question, looking at the pink and white bath towel wrapped around her. She doubted herself, "Can't you tell I've showered just by looking at me like this?"

"..."

Elysia realized she'd asked the wrong question, gave a sheepish laugh, and got off the bed.

"Then I'll go take a shower too, wait for me, Xiao Li."

"Okay, I'm not going anywhere," Lin Li nodded. After watching Elysia walk into the bathroom, she put on her pajamas.

Otherwise, she was really afraid Elysia would pounce on her again later...

She felt like she had no way to deal with Elysia. Many times, when Elysia wanted to do something, she would politely refuse, but Elysia could always get her to agree.

Of course, there were some things she absolutely wouldn't agree to, like... showering together.

The thought alone made it impossible, even for couples, to be that intimate, let alone for two girls like her and Elysia...

Wait, if couples can't, can best friends?

Lin Li's expression suddenly became blank, and the pajamas hung limply in her hands. She seemed to be seriously considering the question.

She had thought about it in the bathroom earlier. She and Elysia were best friends now, so kissing shouldn't be a problem.

But what about showering together?

Lin Li lay down on the bed and put on her pajamas.

She had already blow-dried her hair in the bathroom. Although she only blew it for a short while and it was still a little damp, it didn't matter.

She checked the time; it wasn't even nine o'clock yet...

SpongeBob SquarePants was still playing in the living room, which meant Danzhu and Cang Xuan were still there.

"..."

Lin Li unconsciously thought of the scene where Elysia was leaning on her and Danzhu saw it.

At the doorway, Danzhu must have said something to Cang Xuan.

It's over, how could she face these two sisters now?

It's all Elysia's fault!

Tsk, maybe she should go out and explain? Otherwise, she would feel really awkward tomorrow.

Lin Li thought about it on the bed for a while, then braced herself and went out.

Danzhu was in the middle of explaining something important to Cang Xuan. Although she didn't know why she hadn't finished talking for so long, the moment she heard movement at the bedroom door, she immediately shut her mouth and looked over, just like when they were at the villa entrance.

"Sister Lin Li, do you want some fruit? I just cut some," Cang Xuan greeted enthusiastically, while actually staring intently at Lin Li's cheeks.

They were so red. It's impossible that she'd been red from the moment she opened the villa door until now, nearly half an hour, right? So there must be something going on!

In Danzhu's earlier description, Cang Xuan had been swayed by her and immediately noticed this detail.

"Uh, okay, thank you," Lin Li walked over, sat on the single sofa, picked up a sliced apple, and took a gentle bite.

It was sweet and juicy, high quality.

"If you like it, Sister Lin Li, eat more. Danzhu and I can't finish it all," Cang Xuan said with a smile.

"Hey, you idiot Cang Xuan, who said I can't finish it?" Danzhu retorted, grabbing several apple slices and stuffing them into her mouth, speaking indistinctly, "I'll eat them right now to show you!"

"Why are you eating so much? Didn't you just finish dinner? You're just like a pig, eating and eating, I hope you choke!" Cang Xuan said with disgust.

"Huh? I'm your sister! You're talking to me like this? Be careful, I'll beat you up later."

Danzhu definitely wouldn't accept being compared like that. She swallowed the food in her mouth, rolled up her sleeves, and looked like she was really about to fight Cang Xuan.

Lin Li watched from the side, amused and exasperated. She called out to stop them, "Alright, Danzhu, eat if you want to. I'm actually quite full from dinner."

"Hmph, stinky Cang Xuan, did you hear that? You're always picking on me. Anyone who didn't know would think Lin Li was your real sister," Danzhu said, receiving a look of successful planning from Cang Xuan, then grumbled a bit more before falling silent.

Wait, why was it... a look of successful planning?

"..."
