After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Played by the Black Lotus – Chapter 69

Which Department to See

One early morning, Lin Xingzhu had just slowly woken up from her sleep when she discovered that the spot beside her on the bed was already empty.

She blinked her eyes dazedly.

Ever since confirming their relationship with Bai Xiying, although the two hadn’t moved in together, being upstairs and downstairs was extremely convenient, and to a certain extent, it was almost the same as living together.

Moreover, for the sake of Bai Xiying’s health, the two of them only occasionally shared a bed.

And just last night, Bai Xiying had slept here with her.

But ever since Bai Xiying stopped working, the time she woke up in the morning had long since changed. She would often sleep until she woke up naturally before getting out of bed, unlike a corporate livestock¹ like Lin Xingzhu who had to set an alarm every day to go to work on time.

Therefore, whenever the two of them shared a bed, Lin Xingzhu was always the one who woke up earlier.

However, she soon faintly heard a sound coming from the bathroom.

Just as she was thinking this, Bai Xiying had already opened the door and come out.

Seeing Bai Xiying’s brow slightly furrowed as if she was troubled, Lin Xingzhu raised an eyebrow: “What’s wrong so early in the morning?”

Bai Xiying pressed her lips together: “That place suddenly feels a bit swollen…”

Lin Xingzhu subconsciously looked towards the place she mentioned. A thin layer of clothing, moving as she walked, made that beautiful, soft curve faintly visible.

She licked her lips, feeling a little dry-mouthed so early in the morning: “…My fault?”

Bai Xiying shot her a glare and snorted, “So you do know what kind of character you have?”

Bai Xiying never knew that Lin Xingzhu was so particularly fond of that place.

But sometimes, after being close for too long, it would inevitably become a bit uncomfortable.

However… she also quite liked it, otherwise she wouldn’t let Lin Xingzhu have her way every time.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiying bit her lip, suppressing the thoughts that had surfaced in her mind.

Lin Xingzhu touched her nose, not daring to make a sound.

After a long while, she hesitantly promised: “…I’ll try to… ahem… restrain myself a bit in the future.”

She didn’t say she would never touch it again, because Lin Xingzhu knew Bai Xiying definitely wouldn’t allow that.

It had to be said that the two of them had an unspoken, natural tacit understanding when it came to this kind of thing.

Bai Xiying lowered her head and looked again, thinking of how it looked when she checked in the bathroom just now, and guessed: “My period is probably coming soon, that’s why it’s been a little uncomfortable here recently.”

Lin Xingzhu thought for a moment; there was indeed this possibility.

But she couldn’t help but look again, “But it has also… gotten a little bigger than before.”

Having frequently measured it with her hands and tongue, Lin Xingzhu couldn’t be clearer.

She had never heard of periods coming with a breast enhancement effect.

Bai Xiying: “…”

She wanted to skip this topic.

But raising her eyes slightly and noticing Lin Xingzhu’s gaze lingering there, Bai Xiying’s heart stirred, and she asked with a straight face: “Do you like it?”

Lin Xingzhu looked at her in surprise.

Bai Xiying’s gaze was unwavering and direct, calmly waiting for Lin Xingzhu’s answer.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Xingzhu had nothing to lie about in front of her girlfriend. She blinked her eyes and confessed frankly: “I like it, I like it very much.”

The joy of burying her face in breasts was a novel and happy new experience for Lin Xingzhu ever since she left singlehood.

A flicker of pleasure passed through the depths of Bai Xiying’s eyes. She opened her mouth, not at all feeling that her tone was overly indulgent: “It’s good that you like it.”

A little bigger… so be it.

Bai Xiying thought, her judgment clouded by lust.

With this thought, she clung to Lin Xingzhu’s body like a temptress², looking as if she were soft and boneless.

Lin Xingzhu lowered her eyes to look at Bai Xiying, who was wrapping her arms around her neck and pecking at the side of her neck again and again. Catching the infatuation that flickered on and off her face, she couldn’t help but swallow.

Heavens, why could Bai Xiying be so alluring.

The two little lovers dallied in bed for another half a day before getting up to make a meal that was either breakfast or lunch. After eating, Lin Xingzhu picked up two invitation cards from the counter and smiled, her lips curving.

“Why do you think Chu Tiantian would think to send us invitation cards?”

These two invitation cards were for Chu Tiantian’s birthday party. They had been specially delivered yesterday, and immediately after, Chu Tiantian’s phone call came, implying in every way that she was begging the two of them to attend.

Bai Xiying propped up her chin and looked at the exquisite invitation card, pondering for a moment: “Is it to curry favor with you?”

After all, she liked Jiang Yeye, and Lin Xingzhu was Jiang Yeye’s older cousin.

Lin Xingzhu put down the thing in her hand and smiled, “That would be putting the cart before the horse³, wouldn’t it? Jiang Yeye didn’t come to A City.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiying was taken aback for a moment.

“What is she thinking?”

Lin Xingzhu shrugged and shook her head, “I don’t know either, and I’m not interested.”

“But yesterday, Chu Tiantian said that if we go, she has a gift to give us, and it’s a gift we will definitely like.”

The person whose birthday it is, is instead giving a gift to the guests attending the party?

Bai Xiying once again thought of the Chu Tiantian from her previous life, whose temperament was completely opposite to the one in this life.

Actually, after she and Xie Yunya had their last meeting in the coffee shop, faced with the disaster Xie Yunya mentioned that was interrupted by her and Lin Xingzhu’s timely arrival, some rather bad speculations had arisen in Bai Xiying’s heart.

…She didn’t know if Jiang Yeye existed in the world before her rebirth, or if she had come to A City and subsequently encountered those things.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiying’s face showed contemplation.

After a moment, Bai Xiying spoke up and asked: “So, are you going?”

Lin Xingzhu pondered: “Let’s go. We can actually take this opportunity to get in touch with Madam Chu.”

They had previously discussed dealing with Chu Xiaxia, and all they needed to do was ask Madam Chu to make a move. Therefore, although Lin Xingzhu had someone compile the bad things Chu Xiaxia had done over the past ten-plus years, she had been putting it aside and hadn’t sent it to Madam Chu yet.

And at Chu Tiantian’s birthday party, the entire Chu family was bound to be present.

However…

Lin Xingzhu looked at Bai Xiying: “If you don’t want to see Chu Xiaxia, I can just go by myself.”

“Why wouldn’t I want to?” Bai Xiying smiled faintly, murmuring to herself, “As long as I’m with you, I can see anyone. I’m fearless.”

The words she spoke were so pleasant, so pleasant they moved one’s heart.

Lin Xingzhu glanced at her. Bai Xiying, perhaps because she was too fond of the strawberries in the fruit platter before her or for some other reason, picked one up, put it in her mouth to savor, and even licked that fair finger with great ceremony after finishing.

Very sensual.

Lin Xingzhu drank a mouthful of ice water to cool down her brain, no longer looking at Bai Xiying who was deliberately showing herself off.

Unfortunately, just because she didn’t look, didn’t mean Bai Xiying wanted to let her go.

“Xingzhu——” Bai Xiying deliberately dragged out her words in a soft, long drawl.

Lin Xingzhu was as steady as a mountain: “Hm?”

Seeing her prim and proper appearance in broad daylight, Bai Xiying licked her lips, her lively eyes twinkling like a vexing fox, “Can you promise me one thing?”

“Go ahead.”

Bai Xiying propped up her chin and suggested in a gentle and soft voice: “I want to try something new tonight.”

Her sun acupoint⁴ throbbed uncontrollably a couple of times. Lin Xingzhu raised a hand to press it, her tone calm and unruffled: “Bai Xiying, allow me to remind you, we’ve already been at it for two consecutive days.”

“Uh-huh, so what?”

Lin Xingzhu: “It’s time to take a break. We can’t be indulgent; it’s not good for the body.”

Bai Xiying pouted her lips, her expression a little dissatisfied upon hearing her refusal: “I’ve already said, my body is fine, there are no problems at all. I just want to be close to you. If we’re not close, that’s when I’ll have a problem.”

For a person who needed an outlet when her emotions fluctuated, her desires were already beyond what an ordinary person could compare to. Not to mention, Bai Xiying was different now than before; she had truly taken a step further with the person she liked. To make her abide by the rules and eat more vegetarian than meat dishes, she couldn’t stand it.

Being able to see but not eat was truly too cruel.

When Lin Xingzhu refused her invitation, Bai Xiying would sometimes deliberately open that secret door after returning to her upstairs apartment. When she was inside, she only ever thought of Lin Xingzhu. Sometimes she would even feel, how could this firefly’s glow compete with the bright moon⁵.

Sometimes, Bai Xiying, sunk in dull, unfulfilling desire, would even uncontrollably fantasize about what a heart-pounding experience it would be if it were Lin Xingzhu there, holding these things and leaving her marks on her body one by one.

The more she thought about it, the more she trembled. After coming to her senses, she would consciously suppress it, but suppressing it for too long could easily lead to the dam breaking, bringing unimaginable consequences.

Sometimes, even Bai Xiying would be surprised that her craving for Lin Xingzhu had not eased with the fulfillment of her wishes, but instead showed signs of intensifying.

Clearly, she once hated this body that was different from ordinary people, but now her mind was completely occupied by Lin Xingzhu, unable to muster a single trace of disgust or aversion.

Sometimes she would even secretly hope that Lin Xingzhu wouldn’t be so restrained at certain times.

Thinking this, Bai Xiying concealed the thick desire in her eyes, a bewitching smile pulling at the corners of her lips: “If you’re not reassured, why don’t you take me to the hospital for a check-up, to see if my body isn’t in exceedingly good health.”

Lin Xingzhu: “…”

She hadn’t expected that Bai Xiying would take the initiative to suggest going to the hospital just for some intimacy.

…Does she want it that much?

For some reason, Lin Xingzhu also became a little hesitant.

Seeing that she was clearly moved, Bai Xiying rolled her eyes and, for the sake of her own happiness, spoke up again to persuade her.

“Let’s just go and see. If there are no problems, you’ll listen to me. If the check-up shows that this is indeed not good, then I’ll follow your plan.”

“…Fine.” Lin Xingzhu pondered for a moment and finally agreed.

And so, the two of them began to get ready, changing clothes and shoes to go out to the hospital for a physical examination.

Driving the car to the hospital parking lot, Lin Xingzhu suddenly became a little hesitant just as they were about to get out.

“What? You want to go back on your word again?” Bai Xiying narrowed her eyes and said.

“…No, I just suddenly thought of a problem.” The inexperienced Lin Xingzhu turned her head, looking with bewildered eyes at Bai Xiying, who seemed ready to drag her out by force if she backed out. “The problem we want to know about is related to this aspect. To see a doctor for a physical examination, which department should we register for?”

Bai Xiying: “…”

Good question.

In the silence, Lin Xingzhu gazed at the towering hospital building outside the car window and said, bewildered: “…We should probably see a Chinese medicine doctor, right?”

Observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking⁶. Would a Chinese medicine doctor understand this kind of problem better?

Bai Xiying: “…Then it’s the Chinese Medicine Department.”

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other.
