After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Played by the Black Lotus – Chapter 70

Want to chat with you all

In the end, Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying still went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine¹ department.

The doctor said that Bai Xiying’s body was perfectly fine; aside from her fire energy² being a bit vigorous, there were no other issues.

Lin Xingzhu’s heart was still concerned about the doctor saying Bai Xiying had a deficient constitution³ when they went to the hospital before, and she couldn’t resist asking one more question.

However, the final result was that everything was fine. It seemed that her recent strategy of supplementing Bai Xiying’s body was correct.

Look, she’s not deficient anymore.

Bai Xiying was looking at her with an expression that resembles a smile, yet is not a smile⁴, the amusement flowing in her eyes was very mischievous.

Lin Xingzhu: “……”

She coughed once. “I’ll get a check-up too.”

Bai Xiying raised an eyebrow. “You’re getting a check-up too? There’s nothing wrong with you.”

“Why can’t I get a check-up?” Lin Xingzhu said without changing her face changing color⁵. “The effect of a force is mutual. When you’re tired, I’m not idle either. If you want to be satisfied every day in the future, I also have to see if my physical capital can support it.”

So that’s how it is.

Bai Xiying looked at Lin Xingzhu with a flash of amusement in her eyes, being very understanding. “Go ahead with your check-up.”

A check-up is just a check-up. Even if Lin Xingzhu really can’t do it, it doesn’t matter. There are plenty of external objects for her to use.

It’s just not as good as her doing it herself, that’s all.

Bai Xiying was lost in thought. Watching Lin Xingzhu already sitting in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor and beginning to have her pulse taken⁶, she couldn’t help but sigh slightly in her heart.

Bai Xiying crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, waiting quietly.

After a while, she heard the old Chinese medicine doctor who had just examined her speak to Lin Xingzhu again in a slow tone, saying words similar to before. The central idea was also about the same: her body was very healthy, without any problems.

Her spleen, stomach, and kidneys⁷ were all not deficient; her body was in terrific shape.

As Lin Xingzhu led Bai Xiying out of the hospital, she saw the person beside her trying to hold back laughter and couldn’t help but snort lightly. “If you want to laugh, then laugh. Why are you holding it in?”

Bai Xiying subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth, very reservedly. “Is it that obvious?”

“You’ll know if you look in a mirror.”

Bai Xiying said, “……Cough, both of our bodies are very healthy. Isn’t that worth being happy about?”

She could see that what Bai Xiying was truly happy about was something else entirely.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingzhu kept her word. “Since there are no problems, everything will go according to your plan.”

Alright, now the corners of Bai Xiying’s lips, which were already slightly upturned, could no longer be hidden, the curve hooking upwards more and more.

Seeing her satisfied look because of this sentence, Lin Xingzhu couldn’t help but reflect for a moment.

Was she too harsh before?

If Bai Xiying knew what she was thinking, she would definitely not be able to resist agreeing—it was indeed too harsh! Their hearts and minds were linked, and they were a couple; wanting to stay together and be intimate every day, isn’t that very normal?!

Previously, when Lin Xingzhu rejected Bai Xiying, she had indeed been concerned about the doctor’s diagnosis of her deficient constitution. Now that all hidden dangers were gone, she also decided to no longer force Bai Xiying to restrain herself.

Unfortunately, just as she relaxed her stance, the person beside her was already thinking much further ahead.

“Going by my plan means staying together every day,” Bai Xiying said with a curve of her lips. “But I have another little idea……”

Lin Xingzhu’s gaze fell on her face. “Hm?”

Bai Xiying’s eyes were sparkling bright as she said rather innocently, “Should we buy some toys? Sometimes, using these things should also be very interesting.”

Lin Xingzhu: “……”

She was silent for a moment, but looking at Bai Xiying, it seemed like a sincere proposal.

“You really think so?”

Bai Xiying blinked. “Naturally. Isn’t it said that harmonious ‘exercise’ is also a way to deepen feelings? Playing with some variety should make the feeling of novelty even better.”

Bai Xiying looked at Lin Xingzhu with innocent eyes, her face a picture of purity, but in her heart, she was filled with all kinds of fiery fantasies about Lin Xingzhu.

And right now, the most intense fantasy was the scene she had just proposed.

“……” Lin Xingzhu looked at her with a dangerous expression. “Deepen feelings? Novelty?”

She mulled these two words over her rosy lips a few times, then said with an ambiguous meaning, “I’m only just finding out now that, in my girlfriend’s heart, we’ve already reached the point where we need to create novelty to maintain and deepen our feelings.”

You have to know, logically speaking, their honeymoon period isn’t even over yet.

Meeting Lin Xingzhu’s eyes, which were thick with a dangerous meaning, Bai Xiying paused, suddenly feeling a bit of heart deficiency⁸.

But a few seconds later, she calmed down again.

“Don’t think like that. Just tell me if you agree or not.”

After speaking, Bai Xiying covered Lin Xingzhu’s eyes, leaned in, and kissed her on the lips.

After pulling away, she then removed her hands from Lin Xingzhu’s eyes and looked at her, brimming with a smile.

Lin Xingzhu no longer joked with her, knitting her brows in thought for a moment. “If you really want to, then let’s buy some to take back.”

It’s not a big deal, just some fun between a couple.

Bai Xiying immediately smiled. “I knew you were the best to me.”

From Lin Xingzhu’s initial reaction, she could tell that she probably never had such thoughts, but after I proposed it, and after the joking was over, she still chose to satisfy me.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiying’s heart softened slightly, and she looked at her gently. “Let’s go pick them out together. If you see something you like……”

At this point, her voice grew lower, her gaze winding around Lin Xingzhu like silk, as she said with utmost indulgence, “……you can use them all on me.”

The last word, “use,” was said especially lightly by Bai Xiying.

But this didn’t prevent Lin Xingzhu from hearing it clearly.

Her eyelid twitched. She saw that Bai Xiying wasn’t joking in the slightest; there was even an extremely obvious look of indulgence in her eyes—as if she could do anything, and she wouldn’t resist.

Anything at all.

The moment she thought of this possibility, Lin Xingzhu’s eyes instantly darkened.

The air inside the narrow car instantly crackled, throbbed, and began to burn.

Lin Xingzhu swallowed hard. “You really are……” so bold.

Bai Xiying looked at her with a smile. “Don’t you like it?”

Lin Xingzhu didn’t answer.

Bai Xiying didn’t feel frustrated either. Instead, she curved her lips, gazing at Lin Xingzhu who had started to focus on driving, her smiling eyes already sketching out some new design.

Following the navigation, Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying ended up at a 24-hour adult products store. It was entirely self-service inside, and when they went in, there happened to be no other customers in the store.

Even so, Lin Xingzhu still put on a mask, which only made her more conspicuous.

Bai Xiying, who was no longer shy about this place, glanced at her, curved her lips, and still chose to put on a mask and go in with her.

The two of them didn’t choose anything too outrageous, simply picking out a few small items before checking out and leaving.

The items were in a packaging bag, wrapped very securely. As soon as they got in the car, Lin Xingzhu placed it on the empty back seat.

“Satisfied?” Lin Xingzhu asked.

Bai Xiying asked slyly, “You guess?”

Lin Xingzhu said seriously, “Whether I guess or not, I know you must be satisfied.”

Bai Xiying took off her mask and pouted. “You’ve already forced me to be satisfied, what else can I say.”

If it were up to her, she would have, of course, chosen some other things, but after thinking about Lin Xingzhu, she gave up on the idea.

Bai Xiying glimpsed the items on the back seat in the rearview mirror, and suddenly curved her lip, the darkness in her eyes deepening.

There are some things she can’t hide from Lin Xingzhu for a lifetime. Since she can’t hide them for a lifetime, she can only let Lin Xingzhu slowly come to accept them.

Lin Xingzhu didn’t know these thoughts of hers. She just tapped the steering wheel and brought up the proper business. “Chu Tiantian’s birthday banquet is tomorrow night. I’ve already had someone prepare a gift. Let’s head over tomorrow evening.”

Chu Tiantian has also returned from S City, and the banquet location is set at the Chu family villa.

Bai Xiying was noncommittal, merely asking, “Has your cousin still not come?”

Lin Xingzhu nodded. “No.”

“If your cousin still doesn’t come tomorrow……” Bai Xiying smiled, “then the invitation she specially sent was really aimed at us.”

Lin Xingzhu thought so too, but she just didn’t know what exactly Chu Tiantian meant by the so-called gift.

The next day.

Because the Chu family’s evening banquet was for Chu Tiantian’s eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony, although it wasn’t a very formal banquet, they couldn’t be too casual either.

Lin Xingzhu ordered a set of matching formal dresses for a couple. After the two changed into them and had their hair styled simply, they had the driver take them to the Chu family villa.

By the time they arrived, they saw that the outer area of the villa was already hung with small decorative lights, looking especially dreamlike as they sparkled.

The further they walked inside, the more people they could see had already arrived. Besides many young people who looked to be the same age as Chu Xiaxia and Chu Tiantian, there were also many who, at a glance, were using the banquet to freely discuss business and socialize.

What was somewhat surprising to Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying was that Chu Tiantian was actually standing right outside. Upon seeing the two of them arrive, she came up to greet them, looking just as if she had been standing there specifically waiting for them.

——Because there were other people who arrived at the same time as them, yet they didn’t see Chu Tiantian go over to greet them.

The girl walking toward them was clearly the main character surrounded by lights today, yet from her expression, one couldn’t see any sign of her being particularly cheerful or happy.

Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying glanced at each other, exchanging a look.

Handing the gift in her hand to Chu Tiantian, who had walked up to them, Lin Xingzhu nodded slightly. “Happy birthday.”

Chu Tiantian took the two exquisite boxes and twitched her lips. “……What’s there to be happy about.”

Lin Xingzhu: “……”

She was in no mood to stand here and watch a little girl grieve over the passing of spring and lament the advent of autumn⁹, especially since her impression of Chu Tiantian wasn’t very good to begin with.

If she hadn’t wanted to take this opportunity to make contact with Madam Chu, Lin Xingzhu wouldn’t have planned to come in the first place.

Sensitively perceiving Lin Xingzhu’s impatience, Chu Tiantian’s pair of dark eyes moved, and she said, “Since you’ve come, then the gift I mentioned naturally counts.”

Lin Xingzhu looked at her. Their goal had never been the gift.

Chu Tiantian lowered her gaze, hiding the emotion in her eyes, and looked at the two of them holding hands just as they had that day at the Jiang family’s home, pressing her lips together.

“You two, come with me to a place.” Chu Tiantian scanned the circle of brightly dressed guests, her gaze returning to Lin Xingzhu. “Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. Otherwise, believe it or not, my older sister will be able to find you in a little while.”

Lin Xingzhu frowned. She looked at the person before her, who was clearly a few degrees more gloomy compared to when they were at the Jiang family’s home, feeling faintly impatient.

Chu Tiantian twitched her lips. “It’s fine to reveal a little to you. You will definitely be interested in my gift. After all, it’s about my older sister……”

Lin Xingzhu looked at her with a cold and stern gaze.

Bai Xiying’s eyes flickered. She suddenly discovered that Chu Tiantian, whom she hadn’t seen for a while, now unexpectedly had a hint of the shadow she had seen in her previous life.

Seeing Lin Xingzhu’s guarded look, Chu Tiantian showed no trace of displeasure, still maintaining that half-dead, detestable appearance. It was just that compared to her charming smile at the Jiang family’s home, she was now much colder.

“I just have some things I want to ask you, that’s all.”
