Little Sweetness 12

Su Xin turned her body to the side, wanting to sleep. Qiu Qingqing lightly hugged her, kissed the back of her neck, and reached out her hand to get the hair tie¹ placed at the head of the bed, tying up Su Xin’s slightly sweaty hair to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable later.

Su Xin whimpered a few times, turned over, and went to sleep.

When a little less than half of the summer vacation had passed, Su Xin and Qiu Qingqing bid farewell to the cute little koalas and returned to the country from the Gold Coast².

After giving the house a good cleaning, Su Xin did her housework very perfunctorily. Qiu Qingqing couldn’t stand to watch and told her to go to sleep while she did the work herself.

“My wife is truly virtuous and capable.”

Su Xin mumbled, gave Qiu Qingqing a kiss, and ran into the room to catch up on sleep.

Qiu Qingqing touched her own face, unconsciously smiled foolishly for a while, then shook her head and started cleaning.

Because of the rushing back and forth, no matter how good her physical strength was, her spirit was also somewhat lacking. After Qiu Qingqing finished cleaning, she took a shower and also returned to the room to sleep.

The sky darkened.

Qiu Qingqing felt that this was probably a dream.

A narrow, dark road, she walked for a very, very long time.

She held a candlestick in her hand, illuminating a small area.

She stopped in front of a door, her mood joyful, as if there was something inside worth her anticipation.

Qiu Qingqing followed the thoughts in her heart, opened the locked door, and placed the candlestick on the table.

She saw her own treasure.

The young girl’s black hair was scattered, contrasting with the pure white bedsheets like the finest brocade.

She had her eyes closed, in a deep sleep.

Her slender wrists and ankles were all tightly buckled by chains, bound to the iron bed.

A treasure hidden inside a box that only she could enjoy alone.

Qiu Qingqing revealed a satisfied smile, walked to the bedside, and kissed the young girl’s cheek.

It was her Xinxin.

Su Xin’s lips were a light, pale color. Qiu Qingqing lightly traced them and turned to her side to embrace her.

Su Xin looked like she was about to wake up from her deep sleep. Her eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes.

Qiu Qingqing met that pair of eyes filled with disgust, and her own eyes widened abruptly.

The dream ended.

Qiu Qingqing felt her hands and feet growing a little cold. She looked at Su Xin sleeping soundly beside her, and only then did the feeling subside.

Things wouldn’t develop to that point. She only wanted to see Su Xin looking happy and joyful, not like a bird imprisoned in a cage.

That was not what she wanted to see.

That dreamscape was just a secret, unspeakable thought in her heart, revealing her dark secrets.

That kind of gaze had startled her awake directly from the dream. The way things were now was very good; she would never have a day where she saw that kind of look from Su Xin.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Xin turned over, so sleepy she couldn’t even open her eyes. She directly hugged Qiu Qingqing’s waist, rubbed against the bed, and continued to keep her eyes closed.

“Did I wake you?”

“What dream were you just having? You kept calling my name nonstop, like you were calling a soul³, it was creepy.”

“Xinxin,” one call after another, her voice low and sweet, yet it always felt strange.

“It was nothing. Go back to sleep.”

“We agreed to be honest with each other.”

“I just had a dream.”

“About me? Did I die?”

“Don’t say that.”

Qiu Qingqing didn’t know why, but a huge sense of panic suddenly shrouded her heart.

“Okay, okay, I was just joking.”

“Don’t make jokes like that in the future.”

Qiu Qingqing lay down, holding Su Xin in her arms.

“Then hurry up and tell me, what kind of dream did you have?”

“I dreamed… you were locked to the bed by me. The room was very dark, with only a little light from the candlestick I brought. There was a narrow window. You were my treasure, hidden in the deepest place…”

“And here I was wondering what kind of dream it was. Turns out it was so lewd, oh.”

Qiu Qingqing snorted lightly. It was clearly a dark dream, but how was it that after Su Xin said that, it seemed like no big deal anymore?

“Let’s sleep, I’m so sleepy, oh.”

Su Xin tugged at the air-conditioner quilt⁴ and continued to sleep.

The summer days were scorching; it was still more comfortable in an air-conditioned room.

“Do you want to come out with me to buy groceries?”

“No way, it’s hot enough to die out there. I want to play my game. I’ll wait for you to come back and cook, oh, muah muah⁵!”

As Su Xin spoke, her hands were moving nonstop.

“Okay.”

With the sound of the door closing, Qiu Qingqing left.

Su Xin was playing in training mode. Hearing the sound of Qiu Qingqing leaving, she immediately paused, exited the game, and made a phone call.

“You should come over quickly now, oh.”

Su Xin stood by the door waiting. After a short while, a figure appeared on the stairs.

“Thank you! Here!”

The residential complex had a courier station, but if you wanted Package Hero⁶ to deliver to your door, you needed to pay two kuai⁷.

Su Xin took the package and closed the door.

Qiu Qingqing returned and put the groceries in the kitchen.

She opened the bedroom door, saw Su Xin was still playing her game with all her might, called out once, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Nighttime.

Su Xin didn’t shower with Qiu Qingqing today. She said she was in a hurry to play her game, so she showered first today and let Qiu Qingqing go wash by herself.

Qiu Qingqing was a little unhappy. It seemed that ever since Su Xin got her game, she had been cast into the cold palace⁸; she wouldn’t even shower with her anymore.

Qiu Qingqing finished washing her hair and showering. In the living room, she blew her hair mostly dry. While drying her hair, she pushed open the bedroom door, and then her towel fell to the floor.

A thin chain extended from the foot of the bed, locking one of Su Xin’s legs. The clasp was exquisite and had soft padding to prevent the locked person’s skin from being injured by struggling.

Su Xin was wearing a large, loose shirt, her two legs curled up.

Like a beautiful wildcat that had been chained.

With color, seduce the eye; with sound, seduce the ear; with the eye, seduce the heart.

Qiu Qingqing walked closer uncontrollably, squatted down in front of Su Xin, and kissed her forehead.

“Master, I was very good today too, oh.”

The young girl’s lazy voice carried a hint of a smile. Qiu Qingqing felt her mind go blank.

Honglong⁹, boom.

She couldn’t think about anything anymore, could no longer think at all. In her eyes and in her heart, there was only the smiling girl in front of her.

You sealed it with a kiss on my lips，
On my forehead and I cry，
And we pushed it up hill，
Baby push baby push，
Baby pushed it up hill as far as we could，
Now we’re rollin’ down sour，
Sour baby sour……

Afterwards, Su Xin tugged at the chain with great disdain.

“As expected, it’s just for fun. It’s so thin, when I was tying it on myself, I felt like I could break it just by struggling lightly.”

As Su Xin spoke, she gave it a pull with brute force, and the chain broke in her hand.

“The workmanship on this is acceptable, I guess. Anyway, I’ve already achieved my goal, so I won’t give the shop a bad review. I’ll give it a good review.”

Su Xin mumbled to herself, but Qiu Qingqing was hugging her, unable to speak.

“Hey, I’ve already done all this, you should at least give me some reaction.”

Su Xin poked Qiu Qingqing’s leg. She had been preparing for today for several days, you know.

Su Xin still didn’t get an answer from Qiu Qingqing, but she suddenly felt a searing heat on her back.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you okay? Although I know my actions were very moving, you don’t have to cry, ah.”

Qiu Qingqing hugged Su Xin tightly, not letting her turn around to see the tears on her face.

She had never cried.

At least, a long time ago, she had already decided she would never cry again.

Tears were a symbol of the weak. Besides winning sympathy and showing weakness, they had no other function. And for a truly strong person, tears were not needed as a foil.

Qiu Qingqing had always thought this way. She had cried before. She had cried when her parents died. When she was adopted and abused, she had also cried. But at the moment she decided to run away, she swore that no matter how miserable her life was in the future, how unbearable the things she suffered were, or how painful her injuries were, she could not cry.

And she had indeed done it. During that period of wandering, whether she was digging through trash, snatching food, or no matter how bitter the training was or how terrifying the scenes she saw were, she had not cried.

She thought she would never shed a tear in this lifetime, but this time, she couldn’t hold it back. That feeling of happiness filling her heart, so bittersweet that she wanted to cry—she simply couldn’t hold it back at all.

“Qiu Qingqing, don’t cry, ah. I did this because I wanted to make you happy.”

A kiss landed on Su Xin’s shoulder. Su Xin held Qiu Qingqing’s hand, not knowing what was wrong with her.

According to her predictions, Qiu Qingqing’s reaction would be ecstatic, but definitely not like this, ya¹⁰.

“Happy. I am very happy.”

“Then stop crying.”

“I’m not crying anymore.”

“Then do you love me a little more, ya.”

“I have always, always loved you very much.”

“Of course. After all, I’m so cute, how could you not like me.”

“You are the cutest.”

Qiu Qingqing thought Su Xin would detest her because of her dark thoughts that couldn’t see the light of day, but she didn’t.

Moreover, Su Xin had even tried her best to satisfy the wish in her heart, even though it was a wish she never planned to act on, one that was fine just to think about.

“It’s not like I don’t know what you’re thinking about. How could I possibly dislike you because of those things? It’s not like I was ever some clean person like a blank sheet of paper to begin with. After all, we came through this together. You were still worried that those thoughts of yours would scare me?”

Su Xin expressed that she didn’t care about it at all, and in fact, her thoughts were the exact opposite.

“The deeper your possessiveness towards me, the more you care about me. I don’t even have time to be happy yet. And for my sake, you were able to suppress those thoughts so very, very deeply, to the point that you could be scared awake from a dream just by a look from me. That shows you must love me to death. Why would I be angry with you, right?”

There was no problem with that at all, ah.

“I’m suddenly even more grateful for all of this.”

If not for the accident of coming to this different world, perhaps they would never have been together. Perhaps they would never have said these words to each other.

“In the future, don’t let your mind run wild with nonsense, you know?”

“En.”

“You don’t need to use those things at all. You’ve already locked me up, using this.”

Su Xin faced Qiu Qingqing and kissed her heart.

Love until death never ceases.
