CHAPTER 236: Qin & Tang Extra 10

"Are you here to sleep with me?"

The young girl asked, her face blushing suspiciously, her bright eyes fixed on her.

Qin Yinong: "???"

Qin Yinong: "!!!"

Qin Yinong: "..."

These words echoed in her mind. Qin Yinong, who had always relied on her eloquence, felt like her tongue was frozen in plaster. Her forehead twitched, and she paused in her movement to get up, sitting back on the edge of the bed.

The two locked eyes, and Qin Yinong regained her usual gentle smile.

Tang Ruoyao was already very shy when she said such words face to face. Now, being looked at like this by the woman, she felt like her whole body was on fire. The scenes from the adult movies she had seen during the day flashed in her mind, and she thought that Qin Yinong was about to do whatever she wanted to her in the next second.

She clutched the quilt with both hands and couldn't help but shrink into it.

Qin Yinong's smile grew even wider, teasingly asking, "Why would you say that?"

Tang Ruoyao thought to herself: 'How can there be a reason for this? You just like to do these things when someone is asleep. You're the strange one.'

But she couldn't reply like that on her face. Tang Ruoyao continued to hide further inside the quilt, her eyes timid, and buzzed, "You come here every night."

Qin Yinong raised an eyebrow, "You know I come over every night? Weren't you asleep?"

Tang Ruoyao said, "I guessed."

Qin Yinong smiled playfully, "Very clever."

Tang Ruoyao: "..."

So why did she suddenly praise her like that? Was it to make her happy and more comfortable with what was happening?

Qin Yinong changed the subject, her gaze teasing as she asked, "Then how do you know I slept with you?"

Tang Ruoyao looked at her silently, but her eyes clearly said: 'If you're not sleeping with me, why do you come to my place every night? Just touch my eyebrows and my face and leave?'

A few days ago, Qin Yinong could still confidently defend herself, saying she hadn't done anything. But now, with her ambiguous actions, she didn't answer.

In Tang Ruoyao's eyes, that was as good as admitting it.

'Ah, she had indeed been slept with by her many, many times.

Qin Yinong cleared her throat and asked, "How old are you?"

Tang Ruoyao was puzzled, but she obediently replied, "Nineteen."

Qin Yinong thought for a moment and asked, "Have you been in a relationship before?"

Had the requirements of patrons reached this level? And she had some kind of purity complex. If Tang Ruoyao said yes, would she terminate the contract or punish her severely? Tang Ruoyao's expression became strange for a moment, and her voice was lower than before as she said, "No."

Qin Yinong said, "Then do you know how things work between men and women, or rather, women and women?"

Tang Ruoyao nodded.

She had just learned about it yesterday.

"Do you understand it all?"

"Mhmm." Tang Ruoyao confidently thought, isn't it just like that, more or less the same.

Qin Yinong cleared her throat and decided to educate the young girl about physiological knowledge. She didn't mind teasing her a bit more, but she was concerned about the girl's innocence, as she had a high probability of being deceived by bad people in the future.

Time passed by second by second.

Qin Yinong let out a sigh and said, "...That's about it."

Tang Ruoyao's face turned red with embarrassment.

Qin Yinong reached out and tucked her long hair behind her ear, covering the flushed earlobe. She had never thought that one day she would be discussing these things with a young girl.

Tang Ruoyao's voice became softer, almost like a mosquito's hum. She asked, "Was it just my misunderstanding then?"

Qin Yinong smiled mysteriously, "You guess."

Tang Ruoyao: "..."

Her firm conviction was shaken by just two words from the woman. She even began to doubt if the woman had been playing with her during their previous conversation.

Tang Ruoyao asked, "Then why do you come over every night?"

Qin Yinong replied, "This is my house. Where else should I go?"

Tang Ruoyao once again: "..."

Although what she said was true, it didn't seem like the right answer.

Qin Yinong reached out and pinched the girl's chin, smiling mischievously. She said, "You belong to me. I can look at my belongings in my own house. It's only natural."

Tang Ruoyao was labeled as her possession, which should have been humiliating, but the first emotion that surged within her was something else. In her sight were the woman's elegant and charming eyebrows and eyes, and in her ears were the woman's frivolous words declaring her dominance. Her heart skipped a beat.

She hung her hands down and clenched the bedsheet beneath her.

Due to leaning over to pinch her chin, Qin Yinong was now looking down at the girl from a higher position. The girl lay there calmly and obediently, her delicate features and thick, long eyelashes framing a pair of clear amber eyes that seemed bottomless. Her skin was porcelain-like and emitted a subtle glow under the light.

She was already young, and her submissive appearance made her seem even smaller, evoking a sense of endearment.

Qin Yinong's throat involuntarily constricted.

But those clear eyes met her gaze, and the long lashes trembled before lowering slightly.

Qin Yinong closed her eyes briefly, releasing Tang's chin but pinching her cheek instead.

Tang Ruoyao looked up.

Qin Yinong tucked the corner of the quilt for her and said, "I have an early call time tomorrow, so I'll sleep now."

Tang Ruoyao opened her small mouth and uttered a small "Oh."

Qin Yinong stared at her slightly parted lips, catching a glimpse of the rosy and soft tip of her tongue. Her fingers itched with temptation.

Tang Ruoyao sensed the danger in the air and slid further into the quilt, revealing only a pair of mischievous eyes.

Qin Yinong stood up straight, chuckled, and said, "You may evade me today, but not forever."

With that, she turned and left.

The ominous remark left Tang Ruoyao's heart racing, and it took her five minutes to finally fall asleep.

The next day, Tang Ruoyao woke up thinking that the previous night had been a bizarre dream.

How could Qin Yinong be her physiology teacher, earnestly discussing such embarrassing matters? It was impossible. Tang Ruoyao shook her head with a smile and stepped into the bathroom.

.......

Qin Residence.

Qin Yinong placed her slender fingers above her eyes, her lips curled up, unable to suppress a smile that revealed her snow-white teeth.

"What's making you so happy?" Qin Lunong curiously asked.

Qin Yinong coughed and forced a straight face.

"It's nothing." she said.

Qin Lunong said, "Nothing? You've been laughing for over ten minutes."

Qin Yinong raised an eyebrow. "Really? Did I?"

Qin Lunong said seriously, "Yes." She reached out to touch Qin Yinong's forehead, her tone gentle but teasing, "I thought you were having a seizure and needed to be taken to the hospital."

Qin Yinong exploded, "You're the one having a seizure!"

Qin Lunong immediately made a face, drooling.

Qin Yinong chuckled, picked up a cushion from the sofa, lightly tapped her, and said, "You're so annoying."

Qin Lunong held the cushion to her chest and blinked. "If my teasing can make the beauty smile, what does it matter if I'm a bit annoying."

Qin Yinong said, "Do you think you can make me laugh?"

Qin Lunong retorted, "Isn't that what I just did?"

Qin Yinong said, "Of course not—"

Qin Lunong asked, "Then who did?"

Qin Yinong said, "...It's..." In her mind appeared the rosy face of Tang Ruoyao, the face that often left her stunned and then made her laugh. She waved her hand and said, "No one."

Qin Lunong pointed her finger, "Look, the corners of your mouth are almost reaching your earlobes."

Qin Yinong snorted, ignoring her teasing.

Qin Yinong looked down at her stomach and asked, "How's the baby?"

When it came to the baby, Qin Lunong's gentle eyes became even more tender. She placed her hand on her slightly swollen belly and said, "I went for a prenatal check-up a few days ago, and the doctor said the baby is healthy."

Qin Yinong paused for a few seconds and said, "That's good. Let me know if you need anything."

Qin Lunong asked, "Anything?"

Qin Yinong said, "Of course."

Qin Lunong looked at her and said, "You should talk to the baby for a while, so they don't feel distant from you after they're born."

Qin Yinong was unfamiliar with prenatal education, so Qin Lunong taught her, "Start by introducing yourself."

Qin Yinong stammered, "Baby, uh... Hello, I am... your aunt."

Qin Lunong chuckled.

Qin Yinong meaning glared at her, immediately stopping her laughter. Qin Lunong then gently caressed her belly and said tenderly, "The one who just spoke is your auntie, your mother's younger sister. She is an amazing person, and you should learn from her in the future." She raised her head, smiled at Qin Yinong, then lowered it again, "Let Auntie give you a 'woof' to listen to."

Qin Yinong said, "...Woof."

Qin Lunong gasped, "Ow, don't pinch."

Qin Yinong released her two fingers that were pinching the soft flesh on the inside of her arm, let out a cold laugh. She hadn't used any strength at all—this woman's acting skills were still top-notch.

Qin Lunong laughed to herself and said, "Auntie has a bad temper, don't learn from her."

Qin Yinong said, "Qin Lunong!"

Qin Lunong burst into laughter, "Hahaha."

Aunt Fang looked on with satisfaction. The relationship between the two sisters was getting better, and there was more laughter. Although Aunt Fang didn't understand why Qin Yinong had that initial attitude, she noticed that Qin Yinong's frequency of coming home had increased, and she believed that everything would be fine.

Ji Shulan frowned, wiped her hands, and was about to walk over when Aunt Fang grabbed her arm and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ji Shulan said, "Did Qin Yinong and her sister start playing again? Lunong is delicate, so I wanted to remind her."

Aunt Fang lowered her voice and said, "Don't go. The two kids are having fun. If you go, you'll definitely spoil it."

Ji Shulan hesitated.

Then, as she looked up, she saw Qin Yinong bending down, pressing her ear against Qin Lunong's belly to listen to the baby's movements. Qin Lunong had a gentle expression, gently stroking Qin Yinong's long hair.

Time was the cure for everything.

Qin Yinong was no longer avoiding her family. She slowly became accustomed to the fact that her sister, who had lost her radiance, was just an ordinary person. The birth of the child became the most anticipated event for their family.

"Do you prefer a boy or a girl?" Qin Lunong asked her sister.

Qin Yinong replied without hesitation, "I prefer a girl, preferably one who looks like you." She would raise her well, watching over her step by step, not letting her be bullied by others.

Qin Lunong said, "Hmm, I also want a girl."

According to the old saying, "a boy has a pointed belly, a girl has a round belly," Qin Yinong looked at her belly, but she couldn't make sense of it. She worriedly said, "What if it's a boy?"

Qin Lunong sighed and said, "Then I'll still have to give birth to him. The doctor won't let us put it back."

Qin Yinong burst into laughter.

At the same time, Qin Yinong didn't forget about the canary at home.

After Tang Ruoyao confirmed that the night Qin Yinong taught her wasn't a dream, she caught up on the gossip from the online female community. Her imagination became even more vivid, and every time she saw Qin Yinong, her mind would wander into explicit fantasies.

Qin Yinong would flirt verbally, occasionally make physical contact, touch her face, embrace her waist, but she never went further, leaving plenty of room for her imagination.

"How do students from your school find acting opportunities?" One day, Qin Yinong lay on the bed, supporting her chin with one hand, lazily squinting her eyes, casual and relaxed, and asked her casually.

"Some casting directors come to the school to pick people, but most of them go to the crew themselves, playing extras, supporting roles, slowly working their way up. Those with good luck make it, while those with bad luck stay like that forever." Tang Ruoyao knew that Qin Yinong debuted as the female lead, and her career was smooth sailing. She probably didn't know how difficult it was to climb up from the bottom.

"Mm." Qin Yinong asked, "Do you want to?"

"Want what?" Tang Ruoyao didn't catch on.

"To act in movies." Qin Yinong was concise.

"Of course I do!" Tang Ruoyao's eyes brightened, and she immediately answered, "But..." Her gaze gradually dimmed.

Qin Yinong opened her half-closed eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Ruoyao said, "The company doesn't allow me to take on acting jobs." Specifically, it was because she offended Ruan Qin, and Ruan Qin wouldn't allow it. Currently, she didn't have enough capital to surpass Ruan Qin.

Qin Yinong, in her usual indifferent tone, asked, "Which company are you with?"

Tang Ruoyao didn't get angry because she didn't know her own management company. As a canary, she had to be aware of her own position. She replied, "Star Media."

Qin Yinong thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Tang Ruoyao thought to herself, 'You have your own studio, of course, you have high standards. How would you know about this small company?'

Tang Ruoyao said, "It's just an ordinary management company."

Qin Yinong snorted and said, "They signed you but didn't properly nurture you. It's a waste."

Tang Ruoyao asked, "What did you say?"

Qin Yinong tilted her head and said, "The literal meaning. Can't you understand?"

Once again, she praised herself, and Tang Ruoyao couldn't help but smile.

Qin Yinong also smiled. She felt a bit thirsty and said, "Bring me an orange."

Tang Ruoyao glanced at the red wine on the small table, didn't say anything, and took a few tangerines from the fruit plate on the coffee table. She brought them over along with a trash bin, sat cross-legged on the floor near the bed, and skillfully peeled the oranges.

Peeling oranges could easily dirty one's hands, so Tang Ruoyao volunteered to take care of such miscellaneous tasks. Qin Yinong hadn't made her sleep with her for so long, so if she didn't do something for her, she wouldn't be able to rest.

If Qin Yinong asked her to help her change clothes and wash up, Tang Ruoyao would blush but readily agree.

Qin Yinong happily enjoyed the benefits.

Tang Ruoyao fed the peeled orange segments to Qin Yinong's lips, and Qin Yinong opened her mouth to eat them. She stretched her neck forward, lightly biting Tang Ruoyao's index finger joint unexpectedly.

Tang Ruoyao let out a soft "Ah" and her heart raced, resisting the impulse to pull her finger back.

Qin Yinong sucked on her finger joint for a couple of times, the peculiar sensation squeezing around her finger, everywhere, soft and enveloping, incredibly clear. Tang Ruoyao's face flushed, staring at the woman in a daze.

After a short while, Qin Yinong released her grip and nonchalantly smiled, "Your finger got some orange juice on it."

Tang Ruoyao stuttered, "Thank you."

Qin Yinong teased her, "Thank me for what?"

Tang Ruoyao said, "Thank you... for..." Her ears turned red as well.

Qin Yinong chuckled lightly.

"You're welcome," she said in a cheerful tone, generously letting the young girl off the hook.

Tang Ruoyao used a tissue to wipe her finger, but she couldn't wipe away the warmth imprinted on it, hot and soft. That was hers...

Tang Ruoyao secretly glanced up, and Qin Yinong was putting a segment of orange into her mouth, her lips were exceptionally rosy.

Tao Ruoyao was a little out of breath, she sat up straight and discreetly adjusted her breathing.

After eating the orange, Qin Yinong wiped her hands with the wet tissue Tang Ruoyao handed over and said in a serious tone, "There's an opportunity."

Tang Ruoyao absentmindedly asked, "What is it?"

Qin Yinong said, "Have you heard of Leng Jie?"

Tang Ruoyao widened her eyes slightly and exclaimed excitedly, "Is it... that famous director Leng Jie?"

Qin Yinong smiled and said, "It's not that you're ignorant."

Tang Ruoyao: "..." She always knew Qin Yinong liked teasing her. She puffed out her lips unconsciously, pouting and complained, "Who wouldn't know Director Leng Jie?" Her tone softened and wheedling, like a spoiled child, surprising Qin Yinong.

Tang Ruoyao realized her behavior was inappropriate and quickly cleared her throat, saying, "I mean, I know Director Leng Jie."

As a nineteen-year-old girl, her pretense of being obedient and compliant was different from her true nature as a young girl. The latter's charm and cuteness were evident in this moment, and it caused a seed planted in Qin Yinong's heart to sprout and grow rapidly.

Unable to resist, Qin Yinong took a deep breath, lay down on the bed, patted the empty space next to her, and said, "Come here."

Tang Ruoyao also took a deep breath.

Alright, today she would face the real sleeping together.

She wasn't too afraid. Just the thought of doing this with Qin Yinong, various scenes spontaneously appeared in her mind, thanks to the small movies she had seen a few days ago.

Tang Ruoyao lay down beside Qin Yinong, and Qin Yinong hugged her intimately. The close embrace brought great relief to Tang Ruoyao's sudden surge of emotions. The faint fragrance of a young girl, like an orchid, lingered between their noses, and Tang Ruoyao comfortably closed her eyes against Qin Yinong's body.

'It's happening!'

Tang Ruoyao's mind reached a critical moment, and she couldn't help but move. Qin Yinong asked, "Is something wrong?"

Tang Ruoyao looked at the ceiling with her eyes, her heart pounding like thunder. "I'm... I'm fine."

Qin Yinong had hugged her for a while and said, "Alright."

'That's it?'

Tang Ruoyao sat up in a daze, lowered her head to see that her clothes were tidy, and fell into deep thought. What did Qin Yinong just do to her?

Qin Yinong raised her finger to touch her own earlobe, looking contented and seductive. Her languid eyes and eyebrows were even more charming. "Let's continue talking about Leng Jie."

What Leng? Which Jie? Did Qin Yinnong possess her with her mind?

She's amazing.

Is she a human or a ghost? Could she be a fox spirit that absorbs yang energy? When Tang Ruoyao was young, she read a tabloid that claimed Qin Yinong was a reincarnated fox spirit, which is why men were infatuated with her and she destroyed other people's families.

Qin Yinong noticed her distraction and furrowed her eyebrows. "Tang Ruoyao."

Tang Ruoyao snapped out of her thoughts. "I'm here."

Qin Yinong's temper was gentle, and she reached out to stroke the small mound on her forehead. "What are you thinking?"

Tang Ruoyao lowered her eyelids, looking at Qin Yinong's shadow under the living room light. Her mind relaxed, realizing she had a shadow! Then she thought again, fox spirits aren't ghosts, so of course they would have shadows!

"I was thinking..." Tang Ruoyao swallowed her saliva. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt like she had less yang energy and everything felt strange.

She hesitated, and Qin Yinong patted her head, smiling indulgently. "If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Tang Ruoyao: "Mhm."

Qin Yinong ruffled her head and continued, "Leng Jie is going to make a new movie, and auditions will be held soon. I want to recommend you for a role."

Tang Ruoyao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Yinong and asked, "Can I?"

Qin Yinong replied calmly, "Remove the 'can.' I don't like people lacking confidence."

Tang Ruoyao obediently responded, "Yes." She paused and asked, "May I ask, what role am I playing?"

Qin Yinong countered, "Does it matter?"

Tang Ruoyao said, "No, I will put in the same effort regardless."

"Even if it's just a supporting role?"

"Yes." Tang Ruoyao's gaze was resolute.

"Then why did you ask such a question?" Qin Yinong smiled knowingly.

"I..." Tang Ruoyao lowered her head, admitting sincerely, "It was my vanity speaking."

"No, you're not wrong. Actors who don't want to play leading roles lack ambition." Qin Yinong helped her up, a smile slowly forming on her lips, as she said, "So, I want you to play the female lead."

Boom—

All the strange thoughts in Tang Ruoyao's mind collapsed, leaving only Qin Yinong's final words. Her breathing quickened, and her blood surged with excitement.

.......

Leng Jie, a renowned director in the industry. His leading roles were not easy to come by, and Qin Yinong's influence was only enough to give Tang Ruoyao an audition opportunity. If she wanted to join the crew, she would have to prove her worth, but Tang Ruoyao didn't have that level of prestige yet.

Qin Yinong instructed her not to disclose the news to anyone and privately provided targeted acting training.

She didn't teach Tang Ruoyao acting techniques. Techniques are rigid and vary from person to person. Being too skilled in techniques can hinder the actor's personal development.Tang Ruoyao's performance was rich in emotion, far exceeding her techniques. In layman's terms, it's called empathy, the ability to greatly influence the audience's emotions. This talent is rare and cannot be acquired.

Coincidentally, Qin Yinong also prioritized emotions over techniques as an actress. In her early films, she relied on evoking various emotions buried deep within herself for her performances. Guiding Tang Ruoyao was like second nature to her.

Tang Ruoyao was very diligent in her learning and completed the assigned acting tasks quickly and excellently.

She felt increasingly grateful to Qin Yinong but had no way to repay her, so she proactively went to "absorb Qin Yinong's positive energy."

The first time Tang Ruoyao hugged her, Qin Yinong stiffened like a piece of wood, unsure where to place her hands and feet.

"You..." Qin Yinong raised her hand in the air, cleared her throat, and said, "Let go of me first."

Tang Ruoyao obediently let go, standing up straight in front of the woman, her gaze clear and bright.

Qin Yinong fell silent for a moment and asked, "Have you taken a shower?"

Tang Ruoyao disappeared in a blink and returned after showering, wearing a nightgown. She opened her arms in front of Qin Yinong, and Qin Yinong embraced her, closing her eyes.

Both of them enjoyed the warmth of the embrace.

That day, the two of them hugged for a very long time in the living room. Something that had been buried began to emerge, taking root and sprouting, nourished by the sunlight and rain, eagerly waiting to grow into a towering tree.

.......

During an acting class, the teacher praised Tang Ruoyao individually, smiling with satisfaction that couldn't be concealed.

The classmates, some jealous and some envious, approached her after class to exchange and learn from her. Only Huo Yuke walked to Tang Ruoyao, who was surrounded by her classmates, snorted coldly, and walked away quickly.

The classmates hurried to see Tang Ruoyao, fearing that she might feel embarrassed. However, Tang Ruoyao remained calm throughout, as if she hadn't heard anything, saying, "Let's continue."

On the way back to the dormitory, Wen Shuxian hooked her arm with Tang Ruoyao's and said, "Did you secretly receive a blessing at the temple? Why did you suddenly surpass us?"

Fu Yujun reminded her with a smile, "Only objects can receive blessings, not people."

Wen Shuxian said casually, "It's almost the same thing."

They returned to the dormitory, chatting and joking. Tang Ruoyao packed her things and planned to go out, saying, "I'm going to a friend's house."

Wen Shuxian waved her hand, already too lazy to ask further.

Cui Jiaran poked her head out from the bed and said, "Do you think Tang Tang has a secret lover outside? That's why her acting skills have improved so rapidly."

Wen Shuxian said, "Would a secret lover teach someone how to act? I've never heard of that."

Cui Jiaran sighed and pulled her head back in.

Tang Ruoyao didn't even realize that her steps were getting faster and faster. When she entered the residential area, she was almost running.

The moment the gate opened, the bright lights illuminated the girl's world as well.

Qin Yinong turned her head and looked over. "You came back early today."

Tang Ruoyao remained unfazed. "Class ended early."

Qin Yinong murmured in agreement.

Tang Ruoyao washed her face and hands, took out a notebook from her bag. The handwriting inside was elegant, unique, and had its own style. She handed it to Qin Yinong and said, "These are my study notes."

Qin Yinong silently criticized her handwriting, patiently read through each line, and said, "Not bad."

Among a thousand people, there may be a thousand different Hamlets. Qin Yinong didn't expect her to see things exactly as she did, but she observed her attitude. Her attitude had always been good. After discussing a few points with her, Qin Yinong returned the notebook, a hint of exhaustion in her expression, and said, "I'm a bit tired."

After speaking, she leaned back on the bed, feeling tired, and closed her eyes for a short nap. She wasn't fully asleep, just drifting in and out of sleep.

Tang Ruoyao stepped back and sat on the sofa for a while. She bit her lip and approached her, massaging her legs.

Qin Yinong moved her legs slightly, not used to it, but she was really tired. The cool fingers gently pressed and relieved the soreness in her legs, making her feel much better. So she didn't resist and allowed herself to relax.

"Is there something you want?" Qin Yinong half-closed her eyelids and sensed that the girl had something to say but was hesitant, lazily asking.

"Umm..." Tang Ruoyao glanced at her and then lowered her gaze, focusing on the meridians of her legs. After hesitating for a while, she softly asked, "How should I address you?"

They had known each other for so long, always using "you" or "Madam". At most, when she was teaching her, she would be called "teacher," but none of these felt like the appropriate way to address her.

Qin Yinong still didn't lift her eyes, but her expression seemed like she was contemplating.

After a moment.

Tang Ruoyao saw her index finger resting on her waist move slightly, and in the night, her voice sounded as melodious as a divine tune. She said, "Call me 'sister.'"

Tang Ruoyao's finger trembled, and her face turned red.

'Sister....sisters?!'

Author's Note: 

It has begun. Calling her "sister" under the bed, and calling her "sister" on the bed. Ahhhhhhh!
