CHAPTER 71

Li Jia took another sip of her milk tea, squinted happily, and then handed it over, saying, "Sister, have a taste too."

Ye Chengxing took a sip in the same manner as she was handed the cup.

It was indeed very sweet.

After taking a sip, she could still feel the lingering sweetness on her tongue.

But even though they made two cups, it felt like they were sharing one cup, insisting on drinking together and then drinking the other cup together.

Li Jia chose a pure campus romance movie, with the two female protagonists experiencing youthful infatuation and ambiguity.

After watching for a while, Ye Chengxing heard Li Jia ask her, "What were you like in school, Sister?"

She pondered for a moment and murmured, "When I was in school..."

Ye Chengxing's pace of speech was neither fast nor slow, as she recounted these past events as if slowly unfolding them before the person's eyes.

Li Jia listened to her words as if she was also participating in her shining youth.

"Then... did you have someone you liked in school?" she couldn't help but ask further.

Ye Chengxing couldn't help but shake her head and chuckled, "No, no, I was completely indifferent to such things when I was studying. No, I should say I didn't have any feelings later either. I've been busy with my career since I started working. Being a doctor is really demanding."

Speaking up to this point, her voice paused for a moment. "Anyway... Xiaoli is my first love, in various senses."

Before Li Jia could react, Ye Chengxing felt a bit embarrassed herself.

She wasn't exactly a young person anymore, and it was a bit embarrassing to say such things all of a sudden.

Seeing Li Jia about to speak, she felt both embarrassed and nervous, so she simply leaned over and gave her a kiss.

"Don't say anything for now."

Hearing her words, Li Jia lightly chuckled and hugged her, returning the kiss. "Okay, I'll pretend I didn't notice Sister feeling embarrassed. Let's continue watching the movie."

Ye Chengxing felt the warmth returning to her face.

She shifted her attention and looked at the movie, suddenly realizing that every time Li Jia watched a movie or TV drama, it seemed to be related to love, and she was always very serious about it, regardless of whether the romantic storyline was good or bad.

So, perhaps... she really loved watching this type of movie?

Thinking about it, Ye Chengxing realized that she wasn't quite sure what Li Jia liked, especially when reflecting on their daily lives, she couldn't tell what she had a preference for.

With this in mind, Ye Chengxing directly asked her.

Li Jia heard her voice, shifted her gaze back to her, and answered without much pause, "Things I like to do? It seems like there are quite a lot."

"I like cooking with you, I like watching movies with you, I like taking baths with you, I like reading books with you, I like kissing you, I like being with you..."

Ye Chengxing couldn't help but cough before she could finish saying the next word, her ears turning slightly pink. She said, "Okay, I understand, but what I asked was not what Xiaoli likes to do with me, but what you like to do. I might not have made that clear."

Upon hearing her words, Li Jia made a soft questioning sound. "I answered that question."

"Everything in this world is almost the same to me. The only thing that makes me feel special and that I like is being with you."

As she said this, her tone of voice was no different from when she said other things.

If these words were spoken by someone else, it would be a sentimental expression of affection, but for Li Jia, it was a statement of fact, just like describing that the weather was nice today.

Ye Chengxing listened to Li Jia's voice and couldn't snap out of it for a moment.

She suddenly remembered the agonizing words Li Jia said to her, pinching her neck word by word, "Before I met you, I didn't need such a thing as emotions."

An inexplicable sense of palpitation spread uncontrollably, and Ye Chengxing involuntarily asked, "...Do you regret it?"

Her question was a bit aimless, but Li Jia understood it.

Li Jia met her gaze, paused for two seconds, and couldn't help but smile. "Shouldn't that be a question for me to ask Sister?"

She approached Ye Chengxing a little closer, her gaze unwavering. "If Sister could go back to the beginning with her current memories, would she still make the same choice?"

Ye Chengxing pondered her words for a moment. "Well, that would be great. If I could start over and crush those scumbags again, it would definitely be faster..."

Li Jia's expression slightly froze.

She couldn't help but bury her head in Ye Chengxing's neck, holding her tightly. "Why would I have any regrets? Without you, none of this would have any meaning. It's because of you that I've finally found purpose."

Love can make a mad person even crazier, and a paranoid person even more paranoid, but it can also make a mad person learn to restrain themselves and a paranoid person attempt to change.

She really didn't want to let her go, but she couldn't keep her here all the time, forcing her to stay by her side and not go anywhere.

Although Ye Chengxing had said "I love you" to her countless times, she still found it difficult to be certain.

Ye Chengxing had taken care of her for too long, and she even wondered if she only pitied her, like she did in the past, and that's why she always remained rational. Even though there was the instinctive attraction of pheromones, she wouldn't completely mark her.

She cherished her, but it might not be that kind of love for her.

How could she keep her by her side all the time...

The reason Ye Chengxing stayed now, apart from pitying her, was mainly because she didn't let her go and the system couldn't contact her. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't.

Li Jia couldn't help but use her lips and teeth to linger on a small patch of delicate skin on Alpha's shoulder and neck until it left a mark.

A red mark on the snow-white skin.

It was slightly painful, yet it had a subtle, tingling itch.

When Ye Chengxing did it before, she could already sense it. Li Jia liked leaving marks on her body, which meant she didn't have to go out now. If she had to go out, she would definitely wear a scarf or a high-necked shirt.

Unlike Ye Chengxing, who left kiss marks, all the marks she left were on Li Jia's thighs, in places that were absolutely hidden.

Ye Chengxing recalled while her fingertips brushed over Omega's nape. The person in her arms had intended to bite her again, but because of this, she lost her strength. The intended bite turned into a gentle lick with her tongue.

The hand that had stopped at the back of her neck also paused for a moment.

Then, it followed down her spine, tracing lightly along her waistline, gently undoing her clothes.

It was a mess that could be felt without needing further confirmation.

The warm breath at her neck, sensing her hesitation, lightly rubbed against her, a mixture of dissatisfaction and pitifulness.

"Sister, touch me again."

Ye Chengxing shook her head. "We just made and drank milk tea, or maybe you can wait for me..."

As she spoke, she stood up, but before she could turn around, her clothes were tugged. "Don't go."

Li Jia met her gaze, with a hint of moisture at the corners of her eyes.

The thin fabric had long fallen to her ankles.

She withdrew the hand that had been holding Ye Chengxing's clothes and placed it on her own leg.

From the side to the inside.

The force used was a bit strong, and the delicate and fair fingertips almost sank into the soft flesh.

She opened up to her.

Like a shy and timid beautiful shell, her voice was tinged with shades of water.

"If you don't want to use your hands..."

"Then, sister, can you help me lick it a little?"
