After Being Scummed – Chapter 86
by Little PandaYoung people must exercise restraint!
Yin Bai couldn’t resist tightly hugging Zuo Jingyou’s waist, knocking her sharp chin heavily on Zuo Jingyou’s shoulder twice, and said with a smile, “Me too!”
She couldn’t bear for her lover to be working all alone during the great reunion. But she was also thinking of her family far away in Haicheng, so she came over after finishing New Year’s Eve dinner.
Yin Bai released Zuo Jingyou and looked down at her, her eyes sparkling. “But you just said you were returning the ticket. Were you also planning to fly back to Haicheng right after the gala?”
Zuo Jingyou nodded, pressing her lips together, and said a little shyly, “But then you came, so I bought my ticket for nothing.”
Yin Bai’s eyes curved into a smile. She hugged her waist and said very happily, “Yes, I came. How should I put it? Luckily I came early. If I had been a little later, you probably would have already gotten in the car for your flight to Haicheng.”
“Yes,” Zuo Jingyou said, also very moved. She bent a finger and lightly scraped it on Yin Bai’s nose bridge twice. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? We almost became protagonists from the pen of O. Henry1.”
Yin Bai hugged her waist, affectionately rubbed her forehead against hers, and said with a smile, “You didn’t tell me either, did you.”
They both wanted to give the other a surprise, but it nearly turned into a scare.
Zuo Jingyou sighed, looking at her with a doting smile. Yin Bai looked at the starlight held in her eyes and said in a low voice, “When I came, Tongtong gave me a piece of candy. Do you want to taste it?”
Zuo Jingyou tilted her head up to look at her, her gaze landing vaguely on her lips, her voice slightly hoarse. “Yes.”
Yin Bai chuckled lightly, her palm resting on her slender waist, and lowered her head to bite her lip.
It was a very meticulous kiss. After gently kissing all over the soft flower petals, only then did she pass the sweetness held in her own mouth into Zuo Jingyou’s mouth.
Zuo Jingyou accepted her kiss, her footing gradually becoming a little unsteady, and the two of them staggered and fell sitting onto the reception sofa.
After the kiss, Yin Bai held Zuo Jingyou on her lap, the corners of her eyes red and her voice hoarse as she said to her, “In a little while, do we still have to go to the New Year’s countdown?”
Zuo Jingyou nodded and said, “Mm, yes.”
Yin Bai raised her hand to stroke her hair and said softly, “Then you should go quickly. I’ll wait for you here. After it’s over, we’ll go to the hotel?”
Zuo Jingyou nodded and said, “Okay.”
Yin Bai pressed her lips together and smiled. “Teacher Zuo, you already booked a ticket to go home, so did you cancel the hotel too? Do I have to find another place to stay?”
Zuo Jingyou reached out and pinched her cheek, saying with a look of delight, “That’s right, Assistant Xiao Bai. So I’ll have to trouble you to find a place to stay, otherwise we’ll have to sleep on the street on New Year’s Eve!”
Yin Bai blinked her eyes and said suggestively, “Sleeping on the street is also an option. You know, the back seat of my car is especially spacious, extremely suitable for crossing into the new year!”
Here she goes again!
Zuo Jingyou shot her a mild, feigned anger2 look and reached out to rub her soft earlobe. “Don’t mess around. Work has been so hard recently. I just want to lie in bed.”
“Alright, alright.” Yin Bai nodded in agreement and patted her lower back. “I will let Teacher Zuo lie comfortably in bed!”
Seeing that it was about time, Yin Bai reluctantly let Zuo Jingyou go.
Ten minutes later, the sound of clamor could be faintly heard from the stage up front. In a short while, the noise grew louder, as if the people of the whole world were counting down: “10……9……8……”
“3……2……”
“1!”
“Happy New Year!”
As this phrase fell, the fireworks of the entire city bloomed in an instant, noisily banging and popping. Yin Bai sat alone in a corner backstage, yet she did not feel lonely in the slightest. She held her cane, nonchalantly thinking about the time Zuo Jingyou would appear again, her heart feeling incredibly warm.
To be able to wait for Zuo Jingyou with a heart full of happiness on such a bustling day was really too wonderful.
Soon, this lively gala came to an end.
But the night of the entire city began to clamor again. After Yin Bai brought Zuo Jingyou into the car, she had Zhang Yu find a hotel from the Galaxy Group to stay at.
On the way to the hotel, countless fireworks exploded in every open space, dyeing the pitch-black night into a multicolored spectacle.
The night view was clamorous, but neither Yin Bai nor Zuo Jingyou had the leisure to admire it. She raised the partition as usual, blocking the view from the front seat, and pulled Zuo Jingyou into her arms.
Zuo Jingyou knelt on her lap, raised her hand to grab the pull handle by the car window, and under the filtered light, revealed herself, steaming hot, to Yin Bai’s eyes.
In the disoriented atmosphere, Yin Bai hugged Zuo Jingyou’s waist and, by the light inside the car, looked up at her slightly dazed expression, unable to help but sigh in her heart, this is truly a fine New Year’s gift.
The tactful Zhang Yu drove the car, circling the bustling streets several times, and finally arrived at the hotel where they were staying. This time, Zuo Jingyou was much more composed.
She stepped on her high heels, straightened her back, and supported Yin Bai into the hotel suite. Only after Zhang Yu had left did she lean against Yin Bai’s shoulder as if all her strength had left her, hugging her waist and complaining a little, “You were so rough. My waist hurts so much…”
Yin Bai put her arm around her waist and walked inside with her cane. “Then how about this, I’ll rub your shoulders for you in a bit?”
“Let’s shower first. Are you hungry? I had someone prepare a late-night snack. You can eat a little with me before sleeping.”
Zuo Jingyou nodded, complying with her wishes. After the two finished showering together, they wrapped themselves in bathrobes and stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the beautiful city view while eating a wonderful late-night snack.
As the saying goes, when full and warm, one thinks of lust3. After washing up and lying in bed, Zuo Jingyou felt that she was no longer sleepy. She pressed Yin Bai down, knelt on top of her, and looked at her with a smile. “I recently learned a new way to play. Do you want to try it?”
Yin Bai clapped her hands and said very happily, “Okay, okay, you do it, Teacher Zuo. Is this my New Year’s gift?”
Zuo Jingyou nodded and said, “Yes, it counts as one, but you have to be a little more well-behaved.”
Yin Bai frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, “How am I not well-behaved? I’m under you, hey, how not well-behaved can I get?”
Zuo Jingyou patted her face and said with a smile, “My dear, given that you always go back on your word4 in bed, agreeing to let me do it, but in the end, the number of times you’ve launched a sneak attack is really too many, it’s very hard for me to believe your words in bed now.”
Yin Bai protested, “Hey, hey, hey! I have not! It’s clearly Teacher Zuo’s body that needs me first every time, so I take the initiative to help solve the problem!”
Zuo Jingyou said with a grin, “Then it’s truly a pity that my terrible technique failed to get you excited!”
Yin Bai didn’t dare to take that line, so she could only press her lips into a smile and look away to the side.
Zuo Jingyou again instructed her to be good, then got out of bed and rummaged through her own luggage for things like a silk scarf, and blindfolded Yin Bai’s eyes. Yin Bai was tickled by her and couldn’t stop laughing. “It looks like Teacher Zuo has really learned a lot of things!”
Zuo Jingyou patted her face, telling her not to make her laugh. Yin Bai could only bite her lip and endure, curling up like a big shrimp.
Zuo Jingyou used handcuffs that wouldn’t hurt her wrists to cuff Yin Bai to the headboard. Yin Bai curled up her body and, in the dim darkness, began to feel embarrassed. “Aiya, Teacher Zuo, you doing this to me makes me so scared.”
“Oh? Besides fear, is there nothing else?”
Yin Bai thought for a moment and said with some hesitation, “A little bit of anticipation too?”
“Is that so?” Zuo Jingyou leaned down, pressed against Yin Bai’s lips, took them into her mouth, and said softly, “Then I’ll have to perform well tonight.”
It was unknown if it was an illusion, but Yin Bai felt she had become an ice cream cone tightly wrapped in paper, fixed in place and unable to go anywhere, only able to be wantonly bullied by Zuo Jingyou’s soft lips and tongue.
The heat gradually climbed. Yin Bai felt her whole body begin to melt. Inch by inch, little by little… until she completely melted on the tip of Zuo Jingyou’s tongue.
It was unknown how long this torture lasted. When her consciousness was hazy, Yin Bai suddenly received a sour kiss. In a daze, she heard Zuo Jingyou sigh softly in her ear, “Yin Bai, you are really so sweet…”
The blindfolded Yin Bai curled up her body. Her originally fair and tender skin was covered in an ambiguous, hazy pink, completely becoming a peeled big shrimp.
When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Yin Bai, wrapped up into a silkworm baby5, was lying prone on the bed, looking up at Zuo Jingyou sitting on the edge of the bed and complaining aowu aowu, “Teacher Zuo, you’re too ruthless! It’s not like you don’t know I can’t take it. I feel like my waist is about to break!
Zuo Jingyou held a bowl of congee, scooped a spoonful, blew on it by her lips to cool it, and passed it to Yin Bai’s mouth, saying with a grin, “Is that so? But don’t you usually exercise? Your core strength is very good. Why couldn’t you take it this time?”
“This kind of thing doesn’t even reach half of your usual training volume.”
Yin Bai lowered her head to drink a mouthful of congee and protested, humming and hawing, “This is your revenge, absolutely your revenge!”
Zuo Jingyou blinked, saying with an innocent face, “Is that so? I didn’t? I just said the words you’ve said to me before back to you. How can you call it revenge?”
Zuo Jingyou sighed and said with a deliberately artificial expression, “Aih, I feel a little sad. I just wanted to make you a little happier.”
Her “I’m just pretending” look made Yin Bai feel very resentful. “Just to make me happy? This is very bad for the waist, okay! And if you really wanted me to be happy, me just lying down would be great!”
Me moving is better than anything.
Zuo Jingyou sighed, scooped a spoonful of congee and passed it to Yin Bai’s chattering mouth, shot her a chiding look and said, “Seriously, is my technique really that bad? How come you’ve been complaining non-stop ever since you got up?”
Last night, Yin Bai was clearly very happy!
Yin Bai was choked by her words. She tilted her head up to look at Zuo Jingyou and said with a serious face, “Teacher Zuo, this isn’t a problem of technique, this is a problem of restraint!”
“Today I only hurt my waist. What if one day I die from pleasure!”
Zuo Jingyou let out a puchi sound and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She fed Yin Bai a mouthful and said chidingly, “It’s the New Year. You’re just a child, don’t talk nonsense!”
What die from pleasure or not die from pleasure, this is really too embarrassing to say out loud!
