Chapter 81: Erotic Hints
"N-nothing, I was just reading comics!" Peng Chengyi stammered, hurriedly waving the comic book in her hand and fanning her cheeks as she did so. "I'm blushing because...it's too hot, this awful weather."
Chen Yubai glanced down at the cover; "Sakamoto Daily Life" stood out under the light: "Didn't you say you finished reading this manga last week?"
"I... I can't just read it a few more times!" Peng Chengyi explained, forcing a smile, her fingertips unconsciously picking at the edges of the pages. She quickly changed the subject, "What did you come to see me for?"
"I want to see my girlfriend," Chen Yubai said slowly, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "Do I need any special reason?"
"..." Peng Chengyi's cheeks instantly turned even redder, like a ripe tomato.
She quickly covered his mouth, nervously glancing towards the kitchen. Seeing Zhou Lifang busy inside, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Can't you be a little more careful!" she whispered, her eyes wide open like a frightened kitten.
Seeing her flustered yet adorable appearance, Chen Yubai lazily nodded and mumbled indistinctly in her palm, "I know."
His warm breath brushed against her palm, bringing a tingling sensation.
Peng Chengyi quickly lowered her hand, grabbed his sleeve, hurriedly pulled him into the room, and closed the door.
“If you want to see me, you can message me on WeChat,” she whispered to him. “It’ll be safer for me to come to your house.”
"Oh?" Chen Yubai sat down at her desk, stretching his long legs out casually. "But I feel safer at your house."
Peng Chengyi was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What, is your mother also on vacation at home these past few days?"
"No," he said calmly.
"What's unsafe about your home?" She frowned, puzzled.
Chen Yubai didn't say anything, but simply propped his elbow on the table, rested his chin on it, and stared at her quietly with his deep eyes.
Peng Chengyi's heart skipped a beat when she saw his seemingly meaningful gaze. She suddenly remembered the blush-inducing scenes from the short anime she had just watched.
No way...
Could it be that he meant something like that when he said it wasn't safe?
Isn't he a pure virgin?
Peng Chengyi's breath hitched, her mind instantly turning into a jumbled mess. Just as she was about to die of embarrassment at her own imagination, Chen Yubai finally withdrew his gaze and said casually, "It's nothing."
"……oh."
Peng Chengyi then felt air fill her chest again, and her legs went a little weak as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Seriously, what was she thinking about before?!
It's all Zheng Xinyue's fault for posting her inappropriate short-form anime!
Just as I was silently complaining to myself, my phone, which was on the desk, suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up instantly.
Chen Yubai glanced down at the phone instinctively, his long, slender fingers already naturally picking it up: "Zheng Xinyue is looking for you."
"Ah!" Thinking of the paused screen on her phone, Peng Chengyi's nerves suddenly skipped a beat. She immediately pounced on him and snatched the phone back from his hand, her movements so fast that they created a gust of wind.
The headphone cord that hadn't been unplugged slipped off and swayed gently between the two of them.
Chen Yubai paused for a moment, then slowly lifted his eyelids: "Why are you so excited?"
"...It's been a long time since I've contacted her, so I'm a little excited, haha." Peng Chengyi suppressed her pounding heart, chuckled twice, and quietly hid her phone behind her back.
"Didn't you two go shopping together just last week?" Chen Yubai frowned slightly, looking at her suspiciously, his gaze lingering on her reddened earlobes.
"With good friends, a day apart feels like three autumns!" Peng Chengyi nervously gripped her phone case, making up a reason on the spot.
"Is that so?" He chuckled softly, a hint of grievance in his voice, like a large dog that had been neglected. "I've never seen you miss me this much."
Peng Chengyi stiffened, then quickly tried to cover it up: "But we see each other every day, you haven't given me a chance to feel like we've been apart for ages, otherwise I definitely would have excitedly pounced on you too..."
Chen Yubai stared at her probingly for a few seconds before looking away and casually pulled a comic book magazine from her desk: "Alright."
Seeing that he had finally let go of the topic, Peng Chengyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly turned around, and nervously lit up her phone screen.
Fortunately, only the wallpaper and WeChat notifications are displayed when the screen is locked.
If he were to see that R-rated scene that was just paused, she would be so embarrassed that she would turn into a wisp of smoke and drift out the window.
She turned her back, hurriedly turned off the video, and even carefully deleted her browsing history before finally opening Zheng Xinyue's WeChat message.
Zheng Xinyue: "By the way, when you go to Starlight Park, will you ride the Ferris wheel?"
Peng Chengyi: "Yes, why?"
Zheng Xinyue: "Legend has it that couples who ride a Ferris wheel together might break up."
Peng Chengyi: "?"
Zheng Xinyue: "But it's okay, as long as you kiss at the peak, you can break the curse and stay together forever."
Peng Chengyi: "..."
These are all strange and superstitious beliefs.
Peng Chengyi couldn't help but chuckle and scoff.
"What's wrong?" Noticing her subtle movement, Chen Yubai looked up from the comic book magazine again.
"..." Peng Chengyi paused, feeling that kissing at the top of the Ferris wheel was too embarrassing to talk about, so he could only cover it up with a laugh and say, "Nothing much, Zheng Xinyue just told a lame joke."
"Oh," Chen Yubai responded faintly, lowering his eyes thoughtfully.
-
Although she rationally felt that the probability of Chen Yubai booking a double room was extremely low, after being bombarded by Zheng Xinyue's short videos and posts, Peng Chengyi still secretly ordered a set of exquisite lingerie online.
To avoid being mocked by him for being a primary school student again, she specially chose a black lace outfit with delicate openwork patterns along the edges. It was soft, light, and had a touch of subtle sexiness.
After the package arrived, she secretly opened it under the cover of night, like a thief, and quietly washed and dried the underwear in her room.
The air conditioning quickly dried the clothes in the summer.
As dawn broke, she sprang out of bed as if startled awake, and before Zhou Lifen could wake her, she tucked the lingerie into the innermost part of the wardrobe, as if hiding a secret.
On the day of departure, she finally put on the lingerie and stood in front of the mirror to look at herself.
The result was that the actual item looked several times sexier when worn than in the online images.
The lace trim perfectly accentuates the curves, while the black mesh peeks through, subtly hinting at an ambiguous and alluring charm.
Her ears started to burn, and she hesitated whether to change back into her usual cotton underwear when she suddenly heard Chen Yubai and Zhou Lifang greeting her from outside the door.
Peng Chengyi was taken aback. She glanced at the clock and realized that she had been so busy with her makeup and hair that it was already time to leave.
Oh well, if we don't share a room, he won't be able to see what kind of underwear she's wearing.
If they share a room, it means he definitely has some feelings for her too.
So this little hint isn't shameful.
So she hurriedly put on a dress, then tidied her hair behind her ear in front of the mirror, before carrying her light backpack and leaving the room.
Fearing that Zhou Lifang might overthink things, she didn't mention that she went to Starlight Amusement Park alone with Chen Yubai, and vaguely said that she brought a few friends along.
So before she left, Zhou Lifang packed her a big bag of washed fruit, saying that they could share it on the high-speed train.
Peng Chengyi reluctantly accepted it, and once on the high-speed train, she could only push it towards Chen Yubai: "Eat more, so I don't have to carry it to the amusement park."
"It's alright." Chen Yubai slowly peeled the orange in his hand. "We can leave the fruit at the hotel when we arrive."
"That's too much trouble. We'll arrive at the station around noon, and I'd like to get into the park as soon as possible," Peng Chengyi said, pouting.
“No trouble at all.” Chen Yubai raised his eyes casually and explained, “I’ve booked a hotel in the park.”
"Really?!" Peng Chengyi was stunned. "Isn't the Paradise Hotel super expensive? They even charge extra during the summer vacation! My parents couldn't bear to let me stay there back then."
"Have you forgotten that your boyfriend is rich?" Chen Yubai smiled lazily.
“…I’m just not used to you being so proactive and generous,” Peng Chengyi said honestly. “Like when you suddenly treated me to steak last time, I always felt a little guilty.”
"Oh, then write me an 800-word essay praising me later."
“...Eight hundred words!” Peng Chengyi’s eyes widened. “You’re too ruthless! I haven’t written an essay this long since the college entrance examination.”
"Isn't this just to put your mind at ease?" Chen Yubai smiled and held the peeled orange to her lips. "Don't you think I'm being considerate?"
Peng Chengyi's lips twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
She silently took a bite of the orange from his hand, but felt inexplicably at peace.
Ultimately, she was still more used to their bickering relationship.
If he suddenly becomes too gentle and considerate, it will make her overthink and become nervous.
Especially in the last few days, after having a concrete idea of what boyfriends and girlfriends should do, this feeling has become even stronger.
Now, whenever she's alone with him, her mind is filled with unpleasant images.
For example, when she watched him peel an orange just now, she actually thought that his hands, with their distinct knuckles and slender shape, seemed very suitable for doing the things described in the post.
Even when she walked out of the room in the morning and saw him wearing gray sweatpants, her eyes couldn't help but glance twice at the seam between the pants.
But whether it was because the pants were too loose or because his private parts were a little small, she couldn't make out any outline at all.
On second thought, being smaller isn't necessarily a bad thing.
If it's too exaggerated, it will definitely hurt a lot.
She has been terrified of pain since she was a child.
Besides, just a light kiss with him made her feel dizzy and like she was floating on clouds.
It doesn't seem like he needs to be that good in that area...
As Peng Chengyi pondered this, her cheeks involuntarily began to burn again, as if two small flames were burning within them.
She quickly banished these chaotic thoughts from her mind and turned to look at the scenery rushing past the window.
-
Upon arriving at the Starlight Paradise Hotel reception and receiving her room key from Chen Yubai, Peng Chengyi's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
Sure enough, given his innocent and virginal nature, booking two rooms was standard procedure. Her previous wild thoughts about the double room were indeed unfounded.
Perhaps because she had bought the lingerie for nothing, she breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a vague sense of loss.
However, this subtle sense of melancholy was thrown to the winds as soon as I stepped into the park.
The roller coaster whizzed past her ears, the wind whistling through her hair; the pirate ship soared high and then plummeted; the splashing water from the rapids soaked her sleeves, and her whole face lit up with a smile.
They played until it got a little dark and the lights came on one by one, then the two of them went to the amusement park restaurant for a meal.
Having just eaten, it wasn't a good time to do anything thrilling, so Chen Yubai asked her if she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, which would be a good opportunity to enjoy the park's night view and digest her food.
"Okay, wait for me to go to the restroom." Peng Chengyi smiled and took off her small yellow bag, hanging it around his neck.
When she came out, she saw that he was accompanied by a tall and hot girl.
The girl had a hot figure and a bright smile, and she was asking him something.
Chen Yubai remained indifferent, one hand in his pocket, clearly too lazy to pay attention to anyone, but the other person still stubbornly approached and tentatively offered his phone.
Peng Chengyi felt a sudden tightness in his chest and hurriedly stepped forward.
The girl then gave a knowing laugh and left with a regretful expression.
"Handsome Chen is really popular." She couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"I didn't add her on WeChat." Chen Yubai smiled, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"But I see you still replied to her." She pouted unhappily.
"Then I have to tell her I have a girlfriend, so she can leave, right?" Chen Yubai paused, then raised an eyebrow leisurely. "Are you jealous?"
"I didn't." Peng Chengyi's cheeks flushed slightly as she snatched back her small handbag and hurriedly turned around. "Let's go ride the Ferris wheel."
"Oh." Chen Yubai chuckled softly, took a step forward, caught up with her, and took her hand.
-
As you sit in the Ferris wheel cabin, the lights of the amusement park outside the window shimmer, and the neon lights layer upon layer in the night, reflected on the glass like a flowing galaxy.
However, the little bit of emotion in Peng Chengyi's heart had not completely dissipated.
She knew, of course, that Chen Yubai was always popular, but seeing a girl approach him knowing he had a girlfriend still stung her heart like a needle.
Recalling Zheng Xinyue's statement that "couples might break up if they ride a Ferris wheel together," a sense of unease crept in like vines.
It made her want to kiss him when the Ferris wheel reached its top, to break the curse.
But how can I kiss him?
She couldn't possibly suddenly kiss him forcefully at the climax, could she?
She doesn't have that kind of guts.
Moreover, he doesn't know how to tease her when he looks back.
Peng Chengyi bit her lip in a dilemma, then secretly glanced at Chen Yubai across from her.
The shifting light swept across his face, creating alternating shadows and highlights on his features—
Her nose was high and straight, her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes cast faint shadows, and her thin lips were slightly pursed, giving her a nonchalant air.
Or, could she use that legend to hint at it and get him to take the initiative?
Thinking of this, Peng Chengyi took a deep breath, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, and casually asked, "By the way, have you ever heard a legend about Ferris wheels?"
"What legend?" Chen Yubai turned his face, his deep eyes sparkling like scattered stars under the light.
"It's...that one..."
Feeling flustered under his gaze, she suddenly found herself tongue-tied, unable to utter the words, "A kiss at the peak is what makes it last."
After all, he and she weren't usually superstitious people.
Let's forget about it.
She shouldn't have been so anxious and insecure.
The elevator slowly ascended, and the night view outside gradually unfolded, both dazzling and serene.
Chen Yubai gazed at her face, which was slightly flushed by the lamplight, his eyes gliding over her trembling eyelashes and her small hand tightly clutching the hem of her skirt.
His eyes darkened, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Before Peng Chengyi could react, he pulled her and she fell into his arms.
She froze on his chest, her breath catching in her throat, and looked up, about to ask him what he was doing—
The next moment, the back of my head was supported by a warm palm.
He lowered his head and kissed her slightly parted lips.
All the panic, doubt, and unease were swallowed back down his lips at that moment.
Peng Chengyi froze, forgetting even to breathe, her heart pounding erratically in her chest.
The warmth from his lips spread little by little, like a gentle early summer evening breeze, so soft it was almost unreal.
But not long after, he tentatively pried open her teeth with the tip of his tongue, his eagerness tinged with a hint of awkwardness.
Peng Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank. All the "deep kissing techniques" she had searched for beforehand were now useless.
She could only respond awkwardly and clumsily; the moment her tongue touched his, it was entwined with his even more passionately.
"Mmm..." She couldn't help but let out a soft whimper, her fingers unconsciously clutching the T-shirt in front of him.
Chen Yubai tightened his grip on the back of her head slightly, and wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her even deeper into his embrace.
Through the thin dress, she could almost feel the heat emanating from his palm.
The rhythm of the kiss gradually spiraled out of control, turning from a gentle probing into a thirsty demand. She was kissed until her whole body went limp, and she could only tilt her head back to endure this excessively long and deep kiss.
The gondola swayed gently at its highest point, and the lights of the entire park spread out like a sea of stars beneath their feet.
But her world had already turned upside down.
Only when the Ferris wheel slowly descended did Chen Yubai finally step back slightly.
The small space was filled with the sound of breathing, and the air was slightly humid.
"What you're talking about..." His voice was low and husky, the last syllable barely audible, tinged with a satisfied smile, "is it this legend?"
