After everything was over, it was already deep into the night.
Under the soft light of the bedside lamp, Chu Liyue held Xiao Wujie, who looked listless after she had finished cleaning him.
Her slender fingers pinched his pale wrist, leaving horrifying red marks where blood seeped from the swelling.
The cotton swab, damp with cool medicine, was gently applied to the red, swollen, and broken skin.
Xiao Wujie, leaning on her shoulder, had long eyelashes that trembled like fine feather fans, his eyes filled with tears, and he bit his lip and hummed softly:
"Sister, it hurts, blow on it."
Chu Liyue held his wrist in her hand and gently blew on it, her eyes filled with heartache and helplessness.
After applying the medicine to her hands and adjusting her posture, Chu Liyue placed two soft pillows behind his back, then sat sideways on the side of the bed, lifting his long legs and placing them on her lap.
She pinched his alabaster ankle in her hand, where even more horrifyingly broken and swollen skin was visible, causing her to frown slightly.
She carefully wiped the area with her slender fingers, her voice low and husky:
"Don't do that again."
Xiao Wujie's body sank into the soft pillow, his hand lightly supporting his waist. Upon hearing this, his eyes flickered slightly.
The other foot, resting on Chu Liyue's smooth, long leg, curled up slightly, gently rubbing against the inside of Chu Liyue's thigh, slowly moving upwards along the root of her thigh.
At the same time, her voice was low and alluring: "Sister, don't you like it?"
With a furrowed brow, Chu Liyue suddenly pinched the sole of his foot with her fingers, applying gentle pressure. A tingling sensation spread throughout Xiao Wujie's body, instantly making him lose his strength and no longer daring to be presumptuous.
As he writhed in agony, a sharp pain shot through his lower back. He arched his back, collapsing weakly onto the bed, panting heavily.
"Sister...sister, I was wrong, I won't do it again."
Chu Liyue, who had just finished applying the medicine to him, immediately threw away the cotton swab in her hand, suddenly turned over, pressed down on Xiao Wujie, grabbed his two wrists with one hand and pinned them above his head, and used the other hand to grip his clearly defined chin.
Looking down at him, her long hair fell down, and a storm raged in her eyes.
“You always say the wrong thing, but you still do things your own way. You just like to do things that hurt yourself to please me.”
"I've really spoiled you. You're so opinionated. You'll sleep by yourself tonight!"
Xiao Wujie, who was pinned beneath her, suddenly frowned, his neck arched uncomfortably, his eyes filled with tears, and he let out a soft groan:
"waist……"
Chu Liyue's eyes narrowed instantly. She immediately rolled over, released his wrist, and gently pressed her fingers against his waist to probe.
"Here? Does it hurt or ache?"
Xiao Wujie's eyes were misty, his long eyelashes were wet, and he nestled into her arms, wrapping his arms around her neck. He bit his lip and hummed softly, his voice thick with discomfort.
"Hug me, rub me."
Chu Liyue instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist and gently massaged it with her fingers.
Xiao Wujie's thin body curled up in her arms, pressing even closer, trembling slightly, his insteps intentionally or unintentionally touching her calves, which were icy cold.
Chu Liyue hooked the blanket over his body with her toes.
The next second, she paused.
Xiao Wujie gently rubbed his cheek against her neck, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."
Chu Liyue immediately burst out laughing in anger, "You really know how to manipulate me?"
With a cold laugh, he suddenly threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.
Xiao Wujie instantly wrapped his arms around her neck, hooked his long legs around her waist, and clung tightly to her body, refusing to let go even a little.
He pressed his cheek against her neck, gently nuzzling and shaking his head, his voice hoarse and tinged with aggrieved sobs:
"Sister, my back really aches. I need you to hug me and rub it."
"You can't leave, I can't sleep without you."
"Not being able to sleep will make you sick and feel unwell. I felt really unwell a few days ago, and I don't want to feel unwell anymore."
Chu Liyue's momentum remained undiminished, but her movements slowed down and paused, and she remained silent and cold for a moment.
After a moment, Xiao Wujie, who was tightly embracing her, slowly lifted his head from her neck and tentatively loosened his arms little by little, as if afraid that he would leave her if he lost his grip. He slowly reached out and hooked his little finger with hers in a coaxing manner.
Looking at her, his eyes trembled with tears, his lips pursed, and he murmured:
"Not fierce, okay?"
"I'm scared."
It's always like this.
It's always the same.
Whenever Chu Liyue met his gaze—a gaze of complete dependence and affection, as if she were his whole world—she felt that all her insistence would vanish in an instant, turning into a willing compromise.
Seeing the frost in Chu Liyue's eyes melt away, revealing a reassuring mix of helplessness and doting affection, Xiao Wujie moved closer to her, gently rubbing her chin repeatedly, his manner full of flattery.
After a moment, his voice was low and soft as he earnestly explained:
"I am physically weak and cannot satisfy my sister at all times, but I hope that my sister can enjoy herself to the fullest."
Chu Liyue hugged him tighter, closed her eyes deeply, and spoke in a low, cold voice:
"You take advantage of my weakness for you and my reluctance to punish you, so you do whatever you want every time, and it always works."
Xiao Wujie boldly admitted, "Of course, I am a flower nurtured by my sister's love, so naturally I have nothing to fear."
Chu Liyue kneaded his waist with one hand and gently stroked his back with the other, closing her eyes and remaining silent.
Xiao Wujie lay motionless in her arms, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke:
I feel like such a failure.
Chu Liyue looked up at him, her voice low, mature, and aloof as she asked, "Why?"
"It was my sister's birthday, and I upset her."
Chu Liyue opened her arms to let him rest his head comfortably, her fingers caressing his face and lips, and sighed, "I'm not angry with you."
I only feel sorry for you; I'm the one who's angry.
Xiao Wujie suddenly smiled slightly, raised his head to kiss her lips twice, and murmured in a low, husky voice:
"I'm about to have surgery, and then my sister won't be able to think about it anymore."
"It's just a minor abrasion, sister. Don't blame yourself. Just keep trying and gain experience."
Chu Liyue's eyes flashed coldly. "You didn't hear a word I said!"
I was heartbroken the first time, and you want to do it again? Although it is indeed quite interesting.
Sensing precisely that her emotions had eased, Xiao Wujie pressed his advantage, chuckling softly:
"Sister, do you really not like me like that?"
Seeing that Chu Liyue did not answer, his smile widened, like a little fox who had successfully stolen a bite, and he gently rubbed against Chu Liyue's chest a couple of times.
"Sister, am I good?"
Isn't it charming?
Chu Liyue's body stiffened slightly, her voice hoarse, and she gave a soft "hmm".
Xiao Wujie immediately voiced his dissatisfaction: "Sister, you're just being perfunctory."
He gently shook Chu Liyue's neck with his arm, then nuzzled his head against her chest.
"No matter what, I've tried so hard. You have to smile and tell me I'm charming and that you like me."
Chu Liyue felt a tingling sensation all over her body from his rubbing against her. She hooked her arms around his waist and patted his back gently, trying to calm him down.
She then lowered her gaze to him, her stunningly beautiful face bearing a noble and aloof smile. Her slender fingers gently pinched the back of his neck, as if teasing and doting on him, and she chuckled softly.
"My darling is so charming, and tastes absolutely delicious. He's just what I want."
Then, she brought her red lips close to Xiao Wujie's ear, her voice soft and melodious:
"My sister is very happy on her birthday."
