Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 86 Doing What Elders Wish to Do Behind Their Backs
After the meal was ready, Auntie Shen gently knocked on the door a few times and called out, "Xiao Xi, Xue Yang, it’s time to eat."
Inside the room, the two who were embracing tightly reluctantly let go of each other.
"It’s time to eat."
"Why so soon?" Lin Xi whined playfully, clinging to him for a while longer and refusing to let go. Xue Yang didn’t want to keep her aunt waiting, so after coaxing her for a bit, they left the room one after the other.
The places were already set. Lin Xi sat with Auntie Shen while Xue Yang sat opposite them. The dining room was already small, and with an extra person, it felt even more cramped. However, Auntie Shen didn’t show any sign of minding.
Xue Yang was quite surprised by the spread of dishes on the table. Her culinary skills were excellent; each dish looked like a meticulously crafted work of art. He had never seen, let alone eaten, any of them before. There were several dishes he couldn’t even name.
"Come on, eat up." Auntie Shen used the serving chopsticks to give Lin Xi some food. In the Lin Family household, she always prepared a separate, Western-style meal for Lin Xi, fit for European nobility with knives, forks, and red wine. This was completely different from how they were eating now, like an ordinary family. The meal had been intentionally prepared this way to prevent Xue Yang from discovering the young lady’s true identity.
Lin Xi loved it. She absolutely hated eating alone at a vast, long table. It was cold and lonely, utterly devoid of any feeling of home. This, however, felt very much like home.
As Xue Yang looked up to get some food, he noticed Lin Xi’s lips were swollen from his kisses. It was so obvious that anyone with eyes could tell what they had been doing in the room. This is so awkward. Her cheeks were flushed a lovely pink, giving her an unusual, ethereal beauty, like a graceful maiden from a classic poem.
Xue Yang quickly averted his gaze. "Auntie Shen, your cooking is amazing. It’s on par with a five-star chef."
Auntie Shen was clearly pleased by his words; a cook’s greatest desire is to have their food praised by others.
Xue Yang reached for a nearby piece of steamed rib. Just as he was about to eat it, he suddenly felt something brush against his foot. He looked up. Lin Xi was busy eating, her head down, but her slightly arched eyebrows told him everything. The daring girl was teasing his foot with her own under the table, hidden from her aunt’s view.
Could I really tolerate this?
Xue Yang easily gained the upper hand, pinning her mischievous foot with his own and rubbing it gently. A person’s foot is a very sensitive area, especially the sole. Few people can remain composed when the bottom of their foot is being tickled. The little prankster, failing in her mischief, found herself suppressed instead. Her body trembled slightly from the ticklish sensation.
Auntie Shen asked with a puzzled look, "Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?"
How could Lin Xi possibly admit what was happening? "Huh? I’m fine," she said quickly. Her face flushed bright red as she struggled to hold back laughter.
"You seem a bit off," Auntie Shen said, worried. "Are you feeling unwell?" As she spoke, she reached out to feel Lin Xi’s forehead.
Lin Xi quickly invented an excuse. "I wanted some of the braised pork ribs, but they’re too far away for me to reach. I was getting a little antsy."
Xue Yang picked up a rib and placed it in Lin Xi’s bowl. "You’re right, you are too thin. You should eat more ribs." After saying that, he didn’t forget to give the sole of her foot another little tickle with his own.
Lin Xi almost lost her composure and let out a moan. She quickly stuffed the rib into her mouth, which helped her stifle the sound.
Auntie Shen watched Xue Yang’s natural gesture of placing food in her bowl, then saw the young lady pop the morsel into her mouth without a care in the world. The hand she had raised to use the serving chopsticks paused mid-air.
"This is delicious! Auntie Shen, your cooking is getting better and better. How come I never noticed before?" Lin Xi flashed a satisfied smile at her aunt.
Auntie Shen beamed instantly. "If you like it, then eat more."
The happiness of the three of them was just that simple. By the end of the meal, a certain Big Bad Wolf looked utterly content, a certain little girl was full of playful resentment, and Auntie Shen, in an excellent mood, happily cleared the table.
Lin Xi pulled Xue Yang back into the room and shut the door. She immediately bit down on his chest. She had been wanting to bite him for a long time but had never found the chance. Now that she finally had one, why not bite to her heart’s content? Xue Yang didn’t stop her, letting her have her way. Lin Xi didn’t actually bite very hard. Although it stung, it was well within his threshold for pain. Hmm, it actually tickles a bit.
Only after leaving a complete set of teeth marks on his chest did Lin Xi release him, finally satisfied.
"That’s for tickling me! I was going to bite you until you howled in pain."
"Hmm, but it seems I didn’t howl."
"Damn it."
With a playful growl, Lin Xi pounced on him again, and the two of them tumbled onto the bed.
Perhaps it was the knowledge that she would be going home soon, but Lin Xi was becoming more and more uninhibited. She wanted to leave her mark on Xue Yang, and she wanted him to leave his mark on her. As they rolled around, their positions reversed, with Lin Xi beneath him and Xue Yang on top.
He gently placed his fingers on her lips. "Shh, not so loud," he whispered. "Auntie Shen might hear." Am I really about to do something naughty behind her guardian’s back? Even though I know this isn’t quite right, I have to admit, it’s thrilling.
But the girl was still fanning the flames. She wrapped her arms around Xue Yang’s neck and whispered softly, "Xue Yang, kiss me!"
Who could possibly resist that?
Xue Yang immediately lowered his head, precisely locating her cherry-red lips. Like an eagle snatching a chick, he captured them fiercely. At a time like this, who cared about her guardian being nearby? Following his heart was the most important thing.
...
After tidying up the kitchen, Auntie Shen came out. Frowning slightly at the closed bedroom door, she walked over and raised her hand, hesitating on whether to knock. After thinking it over, she decided against it. Ultimately, she walked past the room, went to the balcony, and grabbed a broom to clean the house. The apartment wasn’t usually dirty, thanks to Lin Xi and Xue Yang’s regular cleaning, but as a qualified housekeeper, Auntie Shen still found things that weren’t up to her standards.
Inside the room, the two were locked in an inseparable kiss. Outside, Auntie Shen was diligently cleaning and tidying the house.
An unknown amount of time passed. Lin Xi was still on the bottom and Xue Yang was still on top, but they were no longer kissing.
"If we keep kissing, you won’t be able to face anyone tomorrow."
"I don’t care if I can’t face anyone. Xue Yang, don’t you love me?"
"Of course I love you."
"Then why...?" Her already flushed face turned so red it looked as if it could bleed.
Xue Yang gently flicked her forehead. "Silly girl, don’t overthink things. Go and study. I’m going to tidy up the guest room."
With that, he let go of Lin Xi. He hadn’t noticed while he was on top of her, but now he saw that her clothes had come completely undone at some point. A large expanse of her pale, fair skin was revealed. He could even clearly see those perfect hemispheres...
Xue Yang sucked in a sharp breath. A moment later, something warm trickled from his nose. He was having a nosebleed.
