Chapter 20 : The Battle Under the Blanket (Part 1)
Zou Yameng had changed into her signature gray tank top and hot pants, exposing large swaths of her fair skin. Water droplets from her shower still clung to her skin, making her look even more alluring, like a ripe peach. Two figures appeared in Lu Li’s mind. One was Angel Lu Li, who asked: Isn’t Sister Yameng cold dressed like that? It’s winter… The other was Devil Lu Li: I suggest you mind your own business.
“I’m done, I was just about to sleep.” Lu Li was still shaken. Luckily, he reacted quickly and pushed An Baili under the blanket in time. Otherwise, he would have been caught red-handed by his sister. He glanced at the light switch by the bed, wanting to turn off the lights, but Sister Yameng said, “Don’t turn off the light yet, my hair’s not dry, I can’t get into bed.” Lu Li’s body stiffened. She wants to get into bed? How could that work? Could this single bed fit three people? Not to mention there was a naked girl hiding under the blanket!
“Oh, I have a bit of a headache today.” Lu Li held his forehead. “Maybe we should just go to sleep early.” He felt An Baili’s shoulders trembling under the blanket, as if she was trying to suppress her laughter. You still have the nerve to laugh? If you were wearing pajamas, it would be easier to explain, but how am I supposed to explain why you’re completely naked to my sister?
Zou Yameng looked disappointed. “Can’t you even chat with me for a bit?”
Lu Li couldn’t bear to see his sister’s expression, his heart softening. “Okay, sis, come sit here.” Sitting was fine, as long as she didn’t get under the blanket. The winter quilt was thick enough to hide An Baili. Once Sister Yameng sat on the edge of the bed, Lu Li tried to distract her. “Sis, why were you so nice to An Baili today? I’m jealous…”
“It’s all for your sake.” Not mentioning it would have been better. As soon as he brought it up, Zou Yameng’s expression turned sour. “Little Li, I remember you smelled strange on your birthday. You told me it was the cheap perfume some female teachers in the office were using, right?”
Why bring up this old story?
“You were lying, weren’t you?” Zou Yameng looked at him coldly. How could he admit it? Lu Li quickly shook his head. “No, I wasn’t, why would I lie?”
“I’ve never smelled that scent before.” Her cheeks flushed slightly. “Last time… it was clearly the smell of… that. And Little Li, why were you so experienced? You must have done it with other girls before, right? I, I heard from Zhou Wen that… boys… can’t find it… the first time…”
“No…” Even Lu Li felt like he was just making excuses. Sister Yameng’s sense of smell had always been sharp. She probably invited An Baili over today just to confirm this, right? No wonder she had been looking at him strangely all day. “Zhou Wen is just a clueless armchair expert. Can you believe anything she says?” What era was this? Were there really men who couldn’t find the right spot on their first time? Lu Li recalled his own first time. It was indeed a bit clumsy…
“You’re lying.” Zou Yameng stared at him intently. “Did you take advantage of that girl?”
What did she mean by “take advantage of”?
“An Baili kept initiating physical contact with you today, as if she wasn’t avoiding it at all.”
Of course she wouldn’t avoid it, they had been husband and wife for years! It wasn’t like they were a young couple… Lu Li’s scalp tingled. Sister Yameng was too sharp.
“Hmph, Little Li…” Sister Yameng snorted, then sighed after a long while. “Forget it, I can’t control you. Didn’t you want to ask me why I invited her over?”
Seeing Sister Yameng give up on questioning him, Lu Li felt a surge of emotion. “Yes, I thought you agreed last night…” An Baili shifted under the blanket, as if she was eavesdropping. Lu Li, afraid that she was uncomfortable being squeezed against the wall, gently lifted her up so that she was half lying on him.
“I, I haven’t agreed to anything yet.” Zou Yameng’s cheeks became even redder. “I’m your sister, stop thinking about those things. As your sister, of course I have the duty to choose a wife for you.” Was that really the reason? Lu Li looked at her suspiciously. His gaze made Zou Yameng feel even more guilty. “I’m your sister, I can’t really marry my own brother, what would people think? So… so I have to choose a girl who’s obedient and well-behaved…”
Sis, do you even hear yourself? Lu Li finally understood Sister Yameng’s little scheme. He remembered a story he read on a forum, about a man who finally won the heart of his goddess. Ten years after they got married, he discovered that she was cheating on him. But she said that even their marriage was just “a task assigned by her master.”
An Baili under the blanket also understood and bit Lu Li’s waist hard in anger. The pain made him wince. His reaction caused a misunderstanding. Zou Yameng quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant, it’s just… Ugh, I don’t know how to explain it.”
Seeing that her hair was mostly dry, she thought for a moment and then lifted the blanket and got into bed. Lu Li gasped and held An Baili down, preventing her from moving. Zou Yameng, preoccupied with her thoughts, didn’t notice that there was another person hidden in the small single bed. “Little Li, do you like that girl, An Baili?”
Lu Li’s heart pounded. If Sister Yameng reached out her hand, she would touch An Baili under the blanket. He could only stare at Sister Yameng’s wrist, praying that she wouldn’t make any big movements. An Baili, however, was restless. Her head was nestled in his armpit, and she stuck out her tongue and licked his chest, sending shivers down his spine.
“Uh… she’s, she’s alright.” Lu Li answered, trying to sound casual.
Hearing his lukewarm response, An Baili angrily bit his nipple. Lu Li let out a gasp, “Ouch!”
“Little Li, what’s wrong?”
“My throat feels a bit uncomfortable, I need to clear it.” Lu Li coughed a couple of times, pretending. “Sister Yameng, when are you going back to sleep?” He tried to steer the conversation away from An Baili. It wasn’t appropriate to talk about certain things with her lying right there under the blanket. Zou Yameng, however, seemed oblivious. “After my hair dries, I guess. I think An Baili is a pretty girl, her character seems okay, just a bit too timid…”
Timid? You haven’t seen her holding a lighter, this girl is crazy deep down. If she wasn’t so desperate, why would she act so recklessly? Lu Li couldn’t help but stroke An Baili’s smooth back. This crazy girl was lying naked under the blanket, on top of him.
“I think she’s alright… Seems quite obedient, and not very bright.” Zou Yameng commented seriously. “Little Li, what do you think?”
“Uh-huh.” This was a tricky question.
An Baili angrily bit his waist again. As if that wasn’t enough to vent her frustration, she started to squirm downwards. Lu Li’s eyes widened. He tried to grab her, but An Baili’s skin was so slippery, and he didn’t want to hurt her by gripping too hard. He could only let her wriggle down.
A moment later, Lu Li took a deep breath, feeling like he was being sucked into a vortex. His back straightened involuntarily. Seeing Sister Yameng’s questioning gaze, he quickly pretended to stretch. “Yawn… I’m a little sleepy. Sis, go back to sleep, we’ll talk tomorrow…”
Zou Yameng, however, turned off the light and lay down beside Lu Li, facing him. “I’m sleeping here tonight, is that okay?”
Lu Li felt An Baili’s teeth clench, a sharp sensation shooting through him. At the same time, Sister Yameng was looking at him with affection.
Please spare me… Lu Li closed his eyes, resigning himself to fate.
