“Are you going to sleep?” Bai Xingluo asked.
Tong Sui hummed in response.
However, Bai Xingluo showed no intention of letting go; she held him tightly, and Tong Sui couldn’t pull his hands away. The only thing he could do was burrow into the blanket, pressing his head into the warm fabric.
But the more he hid, the more it seemed to awaken the bad instincts of a certain ‘bad dog.’ She lowered her head, and her thin lips and nose tip brushed against Tong Sui’s pristine white neck.
Before she had done anything, she could already feel Tong Sui trembling slightly; both his ears and neck were sensitive spots.
Bai Xingluo opened her mouth and let her teeth graze that piece of skin, unwilling to let Tong Sui, who was so shy he almost wanted to burrow under the bed, escape easily.
“Junior has worked so hard to teach me; how could I, as a senior, not show a little gratitude?”
Tong Sui closed his eyes, listening to the ambiguous voice in the stillness of the night, as kisses trailed from the nape of his neck to his flushed ear tips.
He felt a large hand grip his shoulder, effortlessly flipping him around to face Bai Xingluo’s dark, intense eyes.
Tong Sui’s eyelashes glistened with a fine mist, and he pressed his palm against Bai Xingluo’s advance, like a cute kitten stubbornly resisting.
Bai Xingluo couldn’t help but rub her hand; it was so soft, damp from his nervousness.
Tong Sui’s chin was cupped, and when he opened his mouth, Bai Xingluo’s cool lips came close, first brushing against his, then eagerly exploring deeper.
He no longer felt the slightest bit sleepy.
The moisture in his eyes glimmered under the moonlight, like a round, translucent pearl from the deep sea.
Bai Xingluo kissed his lips, holding the back of his head firmly, not holding back nor showing restraint, as if she regarded the cameras around them as nonexistent.
Tong Sui felt anxious; if such a scene made it to trending topics and many people saw it, it would be truly mortifying.
Bai Xingluo, who often roamed in the public eye as a star esports player, should have been more conscious of her image, yet at that moment, she seemed more engrossed than ever, as if she couldn’t wait to claim Tong Sui as her own.
Why was she not afraid at all?
In the cramped room, the sounds of their kisses filled the air, eliciting flushed cheeks and racing hearts, akin to how Bai Xingluo consistently dominated in games, quickly gaining control of the situation.
Tong Sui’s hand was also held by her, the corners of his eyes reddening like a smear of blush after getting wet, slowly blooming on his cheeks, his fair skin tinged with a soft pink.
Clearly, he had intended to keep his distance from Bai Xingluo tonight, to never pay her any attention again; now he found himself pinned down on the bed, kissing.
The mist in Tong Sui’s eyes had condensed into droplets, poised to spill from his lashes.
Bai Xingluo finally relented a little, pulling back slightly, freeing Tong Sui’s lips which had been thoroughly kissed, yet her eyes hesitated to depart from Tong Sui’s face.
Tong Sui gasped with his mouth open, feeling as if he had been choked, tears rolling down one by one.
“I won’t teach you anymore…”
His words lacked strength and sounded more like a sulky pout.
Bai Xingluo felt as if her heart was melting under Tong Sui’s gaze; she had initially decided to stop, but seeing Tong Sui’s cute expression, she couldn’t help but lean in again, gently kissing away the tears from his cheeks with the lips that had just teased him.
“Junior, you still look adorable when you cry.”
Tong Sui’s eyes widened in surprise and panic, seemingly unable to believe that such words had come from Bai Xingluo.
Such a reaction struck a chord deep within Bai Xingluo, causing her defenses to crumble completely; she wanted nothing more than to pull Tong Sui into her embrace and shower him with tender kisses.
Bai Xingluo held Tong Sui’s face, lowering her head to kiss his lips, her fingertips mischievously rubbing against the already flushed corners of Tong Sui’s eyes.
Tong Sui could not escape her teasing; the mist in his eyes swirled with emotion, trembling on the verge of spilling over.
Just the thought of this scene potentially being broadcast and seen by many made the moisture in his eyes gather even more thickly.
Yet Bai Xingluo was utterly unrestrained, their flirtatious exchange echoed loudly in the room, as if savoring a fine dish with every taste.
Tong Sui wanted to plead for her to stop but knew it would be futile; an 18-year-old girl has too much energy. Not only had she been studying late into the night, but she now had the stamina to tease Tong Sui as well.
Tong Sui lost track of time, feeling the warmth of Bai Xingluo’s hands enveloping his as her lips grew numb.
Tears flowed from his eyes without him noticing.
Bai Xingluo appeared to be finally satisfied, pulling back a little, yet she kept Tong Sui firmly within her embrace, unwilling to let go completely.
After being captured and kissed for so long, Tong Sui dared not imagine how many people had witnessed this, but at that moment, he could not care less.
Fearing that Bai Xingluo might lean in close to kiss him again, and feeling the pain on his lips, he indignantly said, “Get off me.”
Bai Xingluo could tell that Tong Sui was genuinely a bit angry this time.
She also realized that her actions had crossed a line, but whenever Tong Sui was near her, she felt like her mind was no longer her own, and her actions were completely uncontrollable.
Even she thought this behavior of bullying was quite despicable.
Bai Xingluo released Tong Sui and grabbed her pillow, “Do you really want me to get off?”
“Get off!”
Tong Sui replied with remarkable firmness.
Bai Xingluo’s expression darkened slightly, seeming hurt as she stood up, as if she were the one bullied by Tong Sui, picking up the workbook from the table before leaving.
Standing behind the door, she said softly, “Goodnight, see you tomorrow.”
Tong Sui shot a glance at the items in her hands, his eyes red yet fiercely calling her back, “Wait!”
“What are you taking the book down for?”
“I plan to study for a bit longer; you go to sleep,” Bai Xingluo replied, placing her hand on the doorknob. Just as she turned it, she heard the sound of Tong Sui pulling back the blanket behind him.
“Don’t go.”
Tong Sui sat on the bed, his hair and clothes tousled, looking like someone who had been thoroughly bullied, his lips red.
