That “Bad” Woman Next Door – Chapter 39

Who Would Not Hear You Screaming That Loud?

Yu Xi pressed Yuan Yue down onto the edge of the pool, her body pressing close as she combed her hair into a bun. After she finished, her hands slid down to gently stroke her face.

Yuan Yue tipped her head back in silent understanding, her hands naturally encircling Yu Xi’s neck, and the two began to kiss.

The temperature in the pool made body heat rise faster. In no time, Yuan Yue felt short of breath, her cheeks flushed red. She had just managed to squeeze out a small gap to gasp for fresh air when she suddenly felt her two legs being parted, and Yu Xi’s hand squeezed in.

Yuan Yue gasped sharply and hurriedly held her hand down. “What if someone comes in?”

Yu Xi pushed her hand away, continuing to do as she pleased. Listening to Yuan Yue unconsciously humming and moaning, she lightly bit her lower lip and said, “Rest assured, I already locked the door from the inside just now.”

“Then what if someone comes to knock on the door?” Yuan Yue was still uneasy.

Yu Xi’s scorching breath sprayed against her face. Trying to steady her breathing, she said, “Even if they knock, we won’t open it. Who knows what we are doing inside here.”

Having spoken, Yu Xi gave her not a shred of chance to catch her breath. She kissed her fiercely, her hands also deftly stripping her naked.

Yu Xi was especially patient this time, driving Yuan Yue to the point where she could not control herself. Seeing that she kept delaying and refused to give it to her, Yuan Yue could no longer care about reserve. She dodged Yu Xi’s kiss and said in annoyance, “Why are you only touching…”

Yu Xi’s expression was like a smile yet not a smile as she soothed her, “No rush, we have plenty of time. First wash the outside clean, then wash the inside.”

The next instant, Yu Xi suddenly barged in. Yuan Yue lost her voice screaming off guard. Before she could fully let go, she panic-strickenly covered her mouth.

But Yu Xi moved her hand away. “The soundproofing effect here is very good; no one will hear.”

Half an hour later, Yuan Yue had already collapsed from exhaustion. She leaned into Yu Xi’s embrace and said limply, “I don’t care, I want to eat late-night snacks later. I want to replenish all the physical strength I just consumed.”

Yu Xi helped her smooth the wet hair on her forehead and said with a face full of doting affection, “You can eat whatever you want to eat today.”

They soaked in the pool for a while longer, only bearing to leave around nine o’clock.

After the two had changed into their respective clothes and came out, Yu Xi supported the leg-trembling Yuan Yue and teased, “Wasn’t it just that the time was a bit longer than usual; is it worth being this exaggerated?”

Yuan Yue glared at her with listless eyes and scolded in a low voice, “You still have the nerve to say that!”

Dead from shame. In that half-hour, Yuan Yue had been tossed about by her severely. Just changing positions had already made her suffer unspeakably. One moment Yu Xi said to let her lean against the pool edge, the next she made her turn her back, and then she fished her out of the water to manipulate her in various ways… As for those details, Yuan Yue felt her face redden just thinking back on them now.

Yu Xi let out a rare, loud laugh. She couldn’t resist pinching her water-spirited cheeks and also lowered her voice to say, “You have to admit the premise is that your physical strength is no good. Wanting to be comfortable and wanting not to be tired—where in the world is there such a cheap good thing.”

Yuan Yue glared at her again grumpily, but that look was rou dada1 without a half bit of deterrence power.

Yu Xi could not bear to tease her anymore. Letting her head fall on her shoulder, she coaxed her, “Alright, I know you worked hard. Let us go eat something first.”

Yu Xi held her close as they walked along the wall. Suddenly, her back was patted by someone. She subconsciously turned her head back and discovered that two women were standing behind her unbeknownst to her.

The person who had just patted her had a head of slightly wet long hair. Under the cover of the long hair, on a palm-sized face2, sat a huge pair of sunglasses, and her sexy red lips were slightly parted.

Yu Xi’s complexion changed slightly. The next second, she sank her face. She made no response, abruptly turning her head back, wanting to rapidly take Yuan Yue away.

Because of her action just now, Yuan Yue was momentarily curious and also turned back to look. Before she could differentiate who that woman in the sunglasses was, the woman curled the corners of her mouth at her and said intimately, “Hi~ Xiao Yueyue.”

As soon as Yuan Yue heard this voice and carefully identified the contours of her face, she screamed in surprise, “Jie Ran!”

Unexpectedly running into Jie Ran here, Yuan Yue broke free from Yu Xi’s hand wanting to go up to welcome her, but Yu Xi held onto her tightly, saying unhappily, “What are you doing?”

Yuan Yue looked at her in puzzlement. “She is Jie Ran. Why are you dragging me to run away?”

Since she had already been recognized, Jie Ran also stopped playing mysterious. Hugging her arms and looking like she wanted to watch a good show, she said, “Right, running as soon as you see me—what do you mean by that?”

Yu Xi knew that Yuan Yue would become dizzy and turn confused, ignoring herself upon seeing her idol. Being attacked by these two women singing in harmony, Yu Xi instantly had no good temper either, yet she still dragged onto Yuan Yue and said coldly and faintly to the person opposite, “Big star really is not easy, having to dress up in disguise just to come out for a hot spring soak.”

Like she was intentionally opposing her, Jie Ran took off her sunglasses, spread her hands, and said, “I want to have a hug with your family’s Xiao Yueyue; you shouldn’t mind, right?”

“Don’t mind, don’t mind!” Yuan Yue said eagerly. “Idol, last time I already wanted to hug with you, also I want your signature!”

Jie Ran smiled beautifully. Facing Yu Xi again, she said, “Don’t be so stingy. Just a hug won’t make you suffer a loss.”

Yu Xi knew Jie Ran was deliberately provoking her. She didn’t want to let her succeed, but she had to let go of Yuan Yue.

Once Yuan Yue gained her freedom, she pounced toward Jie Ran, hugging her tightly, wildly ecstatic and completely unable to speak.

Jie Ran glimpsed that Yu Xi’s expression was getting uglier and uglier. She stopped while adequate, released Yuan Yue, and laughed, “If I continue hugging, I am afraid I will be killed by someone’s eyes. Originally, I still wanted to give you a red lip as a souvenir, but it looks like I should forget it.”

There were two traces of strange redness on Yuan Yue’s face. Having such close contact with her idol for the first time, she was so excited her heart pounded wildly. But she could not be happy for even a second before she heard Yu Xi say airily from behind, “Is late-night snacks still being eaten or not?”

Yuan Yue hurriedly tidied up her own mood and ran back to Yu Xi’s side. Pulling her hand, she said carefully, “You are not allowed to be angry.”

Yu Xi immediately changed a set of expressions, smiled slightly at her, and said, “I am not angry, you are also not allowed to eat vinegar3, we two are pulled level.”

Seeing she was not haggling over it, Yuan Yue then said happily, “Let’s go, let’s go eat something!”

Jie Ran suffered cold treatment, dragging the assistant to busily follow the pace of the two in front, saying incessantly, “What delicious food are you guys going to eat? Why didn’t you bring me along?”

Yu Xi glanced at her and reminded her, “You better put your sunglasses on first.”

Jie Ran completely did not listen to her. Instead, she handed the sunglasses to the assistant beside her and said with full confidence, “Didn’t put on makeup; who can recognize me?”

Actually, Yuan Yue really wanted to say that Jie Ran not wearing makeup compared to wearing makeup did not have much difference. But seeing that Jie Ran and Yu Xi looked like they were fighting over qi, she had to let the words rot in her heart. She turned to say, “Strange, aren’t you two good friends? Why do you bicker as soon as you meet?”

Yu Xi pursed her lips and didn’t answer.

Jie Ran said with a face full of indifference, “Before knowing you, this fellow did not have this attitude toward me. Ever since you appeared, as long as the three of us are present at the same time, this fellow becomes Yin-Yang strange airs4.”

“Why?” Yuan Yue did not understand. She looked at Jie Ran, then turned her head to look at Yu Xi.

Yu Xi kept a cold face and still didn’t make a sound, glaring at Jie Ran with a warning look.

Jie Ran was without fear. She said lightly, “She is afraid I will snatch you away, that’s why.”

“Ah?” Yuan Yue was greatly shocked.

Jie Ran did not wait for her to react. She leaned close to her ear and said, “Just now what did you guys do next door, screaming that loud?”

Yuan Yue’s head went dizzy, her face swelling entirely red. She looked at Jie Ran in disbelief. “You… you heard it all?”

Jie Ran nodded and said frankly, “Screaming this loud, who wouldn’t hear? I and Xiao Xia5 were exactly unable to stand it that we ran out so fast.”

Xiao Xia was Jie Ran’s assistant.

As soon as Yuan Yue thought of the scene just now, and her own unbridled screaming, she felt endlessly ashamed herself. Now that she was actually “complained about” by Jie Ran next door, she was so ashamed she wished she could dig a ground hole to drill into.

Red-faced, she looked at Yu Xi, who was acting as if nothing had happened, and deliberately lowered her voice to ask accusingly, “Did you not say the soundproofing effect was very good?”

Yu Xi felt no sense of shame. Thinking slightly, she said, “I guessed. It is also my first time here; where would I know if the soundproofing effect here is actually good or not.” She paused, then suddenly smiled with ill intent, “But now I know.”

“You!” Yuan Yue already had no face to see people.

Yu Xi calmly switched Yuan Yue to a different position to place herself in the middle.

Jie Ran saw Yu Xi guarding against her, composed her expression, and said seriously, “Alright, no more joking. What do you guys want to eat? Today I will treat.”

It was not suitable to eat too full at night. The four of them went to the restaurant and ordered a big pot of seafood shrimp congee, but only three people were eating.

Jie Ran said she would treat, but she herself essentially did not move a bite of food. Yuan Yue saw she was only watching and said suspiciously, “You aren’t eating?”

Jie Ran said helplessly, “Dare not eat. I am afraid of getting fat.”

Yuan Yue couldn’t help but scrutinize her. Honestly, Jie Ran was already thin to the point of skin wrapping bone6; she basically did not need to reduce any weight. But she also heard that many female stars were all like this. In order to look good on camera, they would rather diet than allow themselves to grow even a tiny bit of fat meat.

Thinking about it, being a star was quite difficult. Jie Ran actually could manage to watch them eat with indifference; it was truly admirable.

Even eating things could not completely block Yuan Yue’s mouth. She was like a curious baby7 asking east and asking west: “How did you guys also think of coming over to soak in the hot spring today?”

Jie Ran said, “We just finished a reporter press conference, and the company arranged to stay at this hotel. It was too tiring during the day, so taking advantage of the free time at night, we came over to relax a bit. I have to catch a plane early tomorrow morning.”

Big stars truly are busy. Yuan Yue finished lamenting, then suddenly thought of something. She tilted her head to look at Yu Xi. “Jie Ran gave the VIP card to you, then she herself…”

Yu Xi knew what she was going to say and cut off her words, saying, “She is the spokesperson for this hot spring hotel; brushing her face8 is enough.”

So there was actually such a matter. Yuan Yue suddenly realized.

At this time, Jie Ran inserted herself to say, “Xiao Yueyue, didn’t you say I was your idol? How come it feels like you don’t understand me at all?”

Yuan Yue’s heart went gedeng. Biting her spoon, she said sheepishly, “I have only watched 《Lian Xiang9》 that you acted in. As for other information, I indeed haven’t paid much attention…”

Okay, Yuan Yue admitted she was a pseudo movie fan, but she really loved that movie and never got tired of watching it a hundred times.

Jie Ran seemed to understand something. She didn’t get annoyed either, smiling as she said, “Since you like 《Lian Xiang》 so much, then next time I will bring a disc from home over for you. It will have my autograph on it.”

“Really?” Yuan Yue looked at her full of expectation.

“Of course it’s true. Next time we meet, I will definitely bring it to you.”

“Thank you!”

Jie Ran glanced at Yu Xi, who was slowly and methodically drinking congee, and said with an air of relaxation, “If not for fearing your family’s that one would eat vinegar, I really wanted to invite you to my house to play. I’m telling you, my wall surfaces are pasted full of my posters inside 《Lian Xiang》; you would definitely like it.”

Yuan Yue was said to be somewhat moved, but considering Yu Xi, she had to dismiss those thoughts and smiled awkwardly. “Visiting the home isn’t necessary. Our family teaching10 is quite strict.”

Yu Xi had already stopped to seriously listen to them speak. Jie Ran calmly looked at her, the corners of her mouth rising slightly, and said with deep meaning, “I can see that.”
