Chapter 59, "Looking in the Mirror"
Chapter Fifty-Nine: "Looking in the Mirror"
Before the start of the school year, they spent three shameless days together.
Even though today is the first day of registration for new students, Lin Su chose to go tomorrow, saying that she would stay at the school after registering.
For the past three days, traces of their intimacy could be found in every corner of the house—on the sofa, the table, in the bathroom… and even by the entrance window. But this time, he drew the curtains.
The bed started to wobble. This type of bed was inherently unstable, and as the movements became more vigorous, the creaking grew louder, and Lin Su worried that the bed might collapse one day.
But the two didn't stay at home all the time. They went to the movies, ate out, and went shopping, just like other young couples, except the streets outside weren't as bustling and the colors weren't as vibrant.
After finishing tidying up at night, it was already midnight. Zhou Yunqi lay on the bed holding her. Lin Su couldn't sleep, so she stretched out her slender fingers and slowly traced the contours of his facial features in the darkness.
He remained quiet. Lin Su asked, "Are you asleep?"
"Um."
"You answered even though you were asleep?"
"Can't you answer if you're asleep?"
Lin Su chuckled, "What kind of dream did you have?"
"In my dreams, it's all you." He pressed her head down and pulled her onto his body.
Lin Su: "You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve."
"Why can't you sleep?" he asked. "Looks like you're not tired enough."
"No, I'm really tired, but I just can't fall asleep. It's probably because school starts tomorrow."
"You can't bear to leave me?"
"Can you bear to part with me?"
He played with her hair: "Of course I'm reluctant to leave, but thankfully she'll be back after a few days of school."
"What did you do while I was away?" Lin Su asked.
He couldn't help but laugh: "Are you worried I'll have nothing to do?"
"That's true, otherwise you wouldn't feel empty and lonely."
"Who says I can't?" he scoffed. "How can I sleep without you by my side?"
Lin Su: "Glib-tongued."
"Go to sleep."
The next day, Zhou Yunqi, wearing a white shirt, took her to school, accompanied her to register, helped her move her luggage, and helped her unpack. Her roommates thought Zhou Yunqi was her brother, but Lin Su generously said, "This is my boyfriend."
They took a walk around the school, tried the food in the cafeteria, looked at the scenery by the lake, and took some photos...
Lin Su was holding up her camera, framing the shot through the lens, when Zhou Yunqi, sitting on a bench, watched her retreating figure and said, "I have to go."
Lin Su turned around: "Wait a minute, this angle is really good, let me take a picture of you."
Zhou Yunqi was speechless.
With a click, Lin Su smiled and said, "All done."
The man then stood up, and Lin Su, disregarding whether anyone was around, hugged him tightly: "Then don't miss me too much, I'll go back after class on Saturday."
He patted her head, released her from his embrace, and told her, "Study hard here."
"Okay, I understand."
"I have to get a scholarship, otherwise I'll lose face."
Lin Su was annoyed and said with dissatisfaction, "You keep putting pressure on me."
"If I don't put some pressure on you, I'm afraid you'll forget your roots."
He looked around and said, “The environment here is perfect for studying, and,” he then smiled at her slightly, “keep a proper distance from boys.”
Lin Su: "..."
Zhou Yunqi escorted her to her dormitory building, then turned and left.
Lin Su stood at the entrance of the dormitory building, watching his departing figure, and sighed deeply.
Lin Su had figured things out these past few days. Although being with him was wonderful, incredibly blissful, and she knew that she could live a good life even without university, she genuinely wanted to learn something practical. Perhaps making money wouldn't be the most important thing for her in the future; she wanted to become a useful member of society.
-
Although college students of this era may not have had as much exposure as those of later generations, and may not have experienced much of the development of electronic technology, they were pure of heart and had a great drive to learn.
Lin Su and her classmates absorbed knowledge and participated in activities together at school.
The dormitory head of Lin Su's dormitory loves to organize social events. On Friday, she took them to socialize with a male dormitory from the department. The event was held on a large lawn.
That evening, besides them, many other classmates were having a social gathering. After Lin Su finished introducing herself, the dorm leader said, "Lin Su, don't you know how to dance the Dai ethnic dance? Perform a dance for us."
“Sure.” She stood up and gave an impromptu performance.
Because of this dance, the next day, a senior student from the department approached her and said that there was a small party for the Mid-Autumn Festival in early October, and asked Lin Su to perform.
Lin Su readily agreed.
After class, Lin Su packed some things and took the bus back to her neighborhood.
He opened the door and went inside, only to find that the room had undergone some changes. His small bed was gone, and the furniture had been rearranged, making the living room feel more spacious. He then went into the bedroom and found that the bed had also been replaced.
They replaced it with a Simmons bed, and installed a full-length mirror on the wall.
Lin Su looked at herself in the mirror, then lay down on the bed to try it out. The firmness was just right, so comfortable!
After rolling around in bed for a long time, Zhou Yunqi suddenly appeared at the bedroom door, shaking his head: "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
Lin Su sat up: "Why did you change the bed?"
He walked over with a smile: "Didn't you say that bed was too noisy and you were afraid the neighbors would hear you?"
Lin Su smiled and touched the soft bed: "You really went to great lengths."
The man leaned closer and stood beside her. Lin Su wrapped her arms around his waist and said, "But this bed is so comfortable that I want to go home and sleep here every now and then."
“That’s perfect, at least I’ve lured you back,” he scoffed. “I’m not as attractive as a bed.”
“What?” she looked up at him. “Didn’t you tell me to study hard at school? I’ve been obediently following your instructions and staying at school. I only dared to come back during the holidays.”
"That's true." He looked at her with clear eyes. "It's me who regrets it."
Lin Su: "You regret it?"
He swallowed the rest of the sound before he could finish the sentence.
After their lips and tongues intertwined, the man raised an eyebrow: "Want to try this bed?"
Lin Su was pinned down by him, and asked, bewildered yet not surprised, "Now?"
"Otherwise what?"
"I thought it would happen when I went to sleep at night..."
He said casually, "Ah, of course, it doesn't count this time, we'll settle it when we go to sleep..."
Lin Su couldn't stand it any longer and twisted her body: "You're so annoying."
He chuckled softly, "Help me unbuckle my belt."
"..."
Just a week later, Lin Su cried out in pain, curled up under him, and looked at him with teary eyes.
Zhou Yunqi was patient and didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting her.
Naturally, this meant that things had to be done hastily.
Later, Lin Su took a nice bath, his hair still damp from drying it. He was cooking in the kitchen, and Lin Su hugged his waist from behind.
The man said with a hint of disgust, "The smoke in here is heavy, and the chili peppers are pungent. You should go out first."
Lin Su didn't leave. She said behind him, "Our department is going to hold a small party for the Mid-Autumn Festival. My senior asked me to dance a Dai dance. Look, look, luckily you didn't tear that dress. I was quick-witted and saved it."
Zhou Yunqi was about to make a stir-fried pork with chili peppers when he put oil in the pan: "That's because I went easy on you."
"Oh, then I won't hold back."
After saying that, Lin Su freed one hand and moved it down his waist and abdomen.
Half a second later, she stopped moving.
The man looked down at her wicked little hand and sneered coldly, "You felt it? What happened just now was nothing."
"How about we try it here? We've never tried cooking and stir-frying at the same time before."
Lin Su silently moved her hand away, patted his back again, and slipped out.
Autumn chili peppers are indeed quite pungent, and Lin Su was soon choked by the spiciness of the stir-fried peppers and started sneezing.
However, this stir-fried pork with chili peppers was incredibly delicious and went perfectly with rice; Lin Su ate two bowls of rice.
Zhou Yunqi looked at her lips, which were red from the spiciness, and poured her some water with a smile: "Drink more water, the weather is dry, you need to replenish your fluids."
After dinner, Lin Su obediently washed the dishes, first sat on the sofa to rest, then moved to another spot, sighing on the Simmons mattress that lying in bed was still the most comfortable.
Zhou Yunqi came out shirtless after washing up and shook his head at the sight: "You've got some ambition."
"But was it really comfortable? How much did it cost?"
"It's not much, just make sure you're comfortable," he said, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
Lin Su climbed out of bed, hugged his neck from behind, touched his slightly damp hair, and teased him, "Have you been thinking about me in this bed?"
The man sneered, "What do you think?"
"I think it definitely is. You must be thinking about how comfortable and blissful it would be to sleep in this bed while holding me, right?"
He didn't respond, but took a clean towel and dried his hair.
Lin Su continued chattering: "The question is, how much do you think about it? Do you think about it every night?"
He said speechlessly, "The bed was just moved here yesterday."
"Oh, did you think about it last night?"
Seeing that he still didn't give a direct answer, Lin Su's sinful hands continued to move downwards. She paused for a moment, wondering why he was still like this...
"You haven't been like this ever since I came back, have you?" she laughed. "Zhou Yunqi, how much have you missed me?"
Annoyed by her, the man tossed the towel onto the desk, turned around, and bit her lip hard: "You'll find out soon enough, don't cry."
Lin Su pursed her lips: "I'm not going to cry, it's not like it's the first time."
"Don't cry? Who was crying and saying it hurt just now?"
"It's different now. It's been too long, and I'm not used to it yet."
Seeing her so confident and determined look, the man really couldn't be bothered to waste any more words on her.
Lin Su was so overwhelmed by the kisses that her clothes were taken off without her realizing it. In her daze, she was carried off the bed.
She asked blankly, "Where are we going?"
Zhou Yunqi dragged a chair over, sat down, and placed her on his lap. She sat with her back to him, and in front of her was a mirror.
Warm lips approached her ear, his voice low and deep: "Didn't you say you wouldn't cry? Take a good look, how are you crying?"
Lin Su then realized what he meant by crying. She twisted her waist and tried to struggle, but it was no use. Her body was tightly bound.
She could only close her eyes tightly to indicate that she didn't want to look, and the man nibbled on her earlobe: "Sweetie, you have to appreciate your beautiful body at least once in a while."
When it comes to flirting, although she always has a lot of little tricks up her sleeve, once she gets serious, she's no match for him at all.
Lin Su endured it while dodging, twisting her waist and saying no.
The man ignored her, turned her chin, and kissed her, sucking on her tongue.
His fingers are long, strong, and very flexible.
As she was being teased, Lin Su's aura grew deeper and deeper, rendering any rationality useless.
Once a certain threshold is reached, it bursts open like a water-filled balloon.
Water splashed everywhere.
