Indulgence - Chapter 88

Chapter 88

The temperature gradually rose, and the wind blowing through the alley carried a hint of warmth. It was once again a season of splendor and romance.

The studio was running well, its popularity soaring online. Just like before, many clients came specifically for Jiang Nian, but fewer people were hitting on her now. The ring on her left hand was too conspicuous and high-profile, as if she wanted the whole world to know she was taken.

Qiu Lan found it strange, saying that this time last year, she was like a peacock, fanning her tail feathers everywhere.

Jiang Nian also felt that she had changed a lot, but she liked this change.

Spring was perfect for traveling. Although Jiang Nian was boisterous and Yao Ran was quiet, they both enjoyed walking around and exploring. Taking advantage of Yao Ran's weekend off, Jiang Nian also took two days off, just enough for a short trip.

Yao Ran asked Jiang Nian where she wanted to go.

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and suggested Qingfeng Temple. Around this time last year, when they went to the temple to pray for their relationship, they both drew the best possible fortune sticks. Since it was so effective, they should go back to give thanks.

Yao Ran smiled and said okay.

And so, the two made another trip to Qingfeng Mountain. It was around the same time as last year, and the journey was filled with bright sunshine, lush greenery, and the vibrant fragrance of flowers.

In the afternoon, they hiked up the mountain to burn incense at the temple. At dusk, they leisurely walked back down the bluestone path.

Even though it was their second time here, Jiang Nian was still full of excitement. She held Yao Ran's hand and wandered around until dark before they returned to the hotel together.

It was the same Flowing Water Mountain Villa as last time, a mountain view room with an excellent landscape.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Nian pulled Yao Ran down to sit on the sofa and began to massage her ankles and legs.

Seeing how thoughtful and meticulous she was, Yao Ran took her hand. "You don't have to. Aren't you tired?"

"I'm fine," Jiang Nian said, looking at her. "Are you tired already?"

Yao Ran looked at her and didn't respond. Jiang Nian often asked her this in bed, shamelessly.

Jiang Nian continued to massage her legs, smiling secretly to herself.

Yao Ran languidly pinched her cheek, then pulled her hand away to stop her. "That's enough."

Being pulled like that, Jiang Nian expertly wrapped her arms around her waist and held her. Ever since discovering that Yao Ran liked it when she was clingy, she had become completely uninhibited. She asked with a straight face, "Director Yao, did you have fun today?"

Yao Ran hugged her back and nodded.

"You're always happy when you're with me," Jiang Nian said.

Yao Ran smiled at her cheekiness.

Jiang Nian thought about all they had been through. Looking back, Yao Ran had actually always indulged her advances and passion. She stared into Yao Ran's eyes and asked again, "You fell for me a long time ago, didn't you?"

Yao Ran listened and didn't deny it.

There was anticipation in Jiang Nian's eyes. Yao Ran's tacit agreement gave her the answer. But she still smiled and pressed coquettishly, "Didn't you?"

Yao Ran couldn't win against her. "Mm."

"You're so good at pretending. It was so hard for me to chase you," Jiang Nian grumbled, burying her face in her embrace. "It seems like I'm always the one chasing you. Good thing I've caught you every time."

Yao Ran stroked Jiang Nian's back and held her tighter. Jiang Nian had truly given her so, so much passion.

Jiang Nian looked at Yao Ran and said on a whim, "I really want to see you pursue someone. You've never pursued me."

Yao Ran was quiet for a moment, then looked at her and asked, "How do you want me to pursue you?"

Jiang Nian started laughing. Why did she indulge her every weird request? She met Yao Ran's gaze and decided against it. She said bluntly, "If you pursued me, I wouldn't last a second."

Yao Ran: "..."

She had never met someone so unrestrained.

They cuddled together, chatting idly. Jiang Nian said, "Do you remember the last time we came here? We stayed in the same room."

Yao Ran remembered, of course. It had been terribly awkward at the time. Now, in a similarly familiar hotel room, they were holding each other so intimately. The feeling was quite surreal.

"Back then, you wouldn't even give me a second glance. You kept avoiding me..." Jiang Nian said, sounding aggrieved again.

Yao Ran said softly, "Did I?"

"Didn't you?" Jiang Nian said, pushing the person in her arms down onto the sofa. She pressed down on top of Yao Ran, cupped her face, and made her look at her.

She was being so boisterous that Yao Ran couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Jiang Nian's smile, so close to her own, and her gaze grew focused. At first, she had indeed been avoiding and suppressing her feelings for Jiang Nian. She hadn't thought it was a genuine attraction, and had suspected she was just having a momentary impulse because she had never met anyone like Jiang Nian before. But time proved otherwise...

When she found out she had been deceived and suggested breaking up, she had been emotional. More than wanting to separate, what she truly craved deep down was for Jiang Nian to choose her with more maturity and determination. Fortunately, after all the turmoil, Jiang Nian had come back to her.

Jiang Nian loved it when she looked at her so gently. That gaze was like a gentle confession of love. She couldn't resist lowering her head to kiss her lips.

Yao Ran responded immediately. After a few moments, she reached up, cupped the back of Jiang Nian's head, and took the initiative to deepen the kiss.

"Mm," Jiang Nian breathed heavily. She supported Yao Ran's neck and pushed her lips and tongue forward, then did what she had wanted to do this time last year—while kissing her, her palm repeatedly caressed Yao Ran's waist, gently undoing the button of her pants.

The atmosphere gradually grew hot and romantic.

Yao Ran parted her lips slightly and looked at her.

Jiang Nian looked back at her with a smile in her eyes, then kissed the corner of her mouth and said softly, "Shall we take a shower?"

Yao Ran gently bit the side of her lip. "Mm."

They were already in perfect sync.

Last time they had a twin room; this time it was a king-sized bed. The room layout was similar, giving a sense of déjà vu.

After half an hour in the bathroom, they came out flushed and fell into the mattress together.

Their kisses and breaths were damp from the shower, wetly brushing against each other's cheeks, necks, and chests where their hearts pounded.

Yao Ran kissed Jiang Nian's hair. Their heated bodies gently bumped and rubbed against each other. Her fingertips traced the delicate skin of her waist and back; every inch was burning. She had never seen Jiang Nian's passion fade, whether in daily life or at times like this.

Of course, she loved Jiang Nian's passion.

"Actually, last year when we were in the same room, I really wanted to..." Jiang Nian trailed off. She wrapped herself tightly around Yao Ran's lips, kissing her deeply and urgently.

Even without her finishing the sentence, Yao Ran understood. She held Jiang Nian's waist tightly and kissed her back, the blush on her fair skin deepening.

Jiang Nian finally released her red lips and said hoarsely, "I wanted to do this."

Yao Ran sighed, teasing her, "This is all you think about all day."

"I like you too much. I've never liked anyone this much. I just can't help but want to tease you," Jiang Nian said in broken sentences, her breathing growing heavier.

Yao Ran's face burned.

At a time like this, any topic of conversation seemed improper.

"Don't you like it a lot too?" Jiang Nian sucked and kissed her earlobe, talking nonstop. "Even before we were together, you were always thinking about... with me... you brooder, you phony prude..."

Embarrassed and annoyed, Yao Ran bit her on the neck.

Jiang Nian stopped talking.

Lost in passion, their soft sighs soon mingled together. Once the feeling took over, neither of them could remain reserved in the slightest.

Thinking of how Yao Ran had previously given her the cold shoulder, Jiang Nian was unrestrainedly passionate tonight, and Yao Ran always let her indulge herself. Holding her waist, it didn't take long for her to feel the intense heat again.

Jiang Nian loved to ask, "Do you like this?"

Yao Ran would frown, but her instinctive reactions were always the most honest. If she had been suppressing herself before, then after meeting Jiang Nian, all her fervor was unleashed without reservation, sometimes to her own embarrassment.

Afterward, as they held each other, Jiang Nian smiled as if she had gotten her way. "Ranran, you're so easy..."

Yao Ran immediately ordered in a low voice, "Don't say it."

Jiang Nian just kept smiling.

Seeing her like this, Yao Ran decided to flip over.

Jiang Nian watched her, and as expected, she stopped talking, but the soft cries from her mouth grew louder and louder.

This wasn't home. Yao Ran was worried the soundproofing wasn't good. "Be quieter."

"Mm," Jiang Nian hummed heavily again. "I... you know I can't help it."

Yao Ran promptly sealed her lips with a kiss.

"Mm." Kissed until she couldn't speak, Jiang Nian could only manage soft, continuous moans. She hooked her arms around Yao Ran's neck, loving this sufficiently gentle and moving deep kiss.

The passion spread for a long time.

Jiang Nian stared at Yao Ran, her voice hoarse. "Ever since you found out I was younger than you, you seem to always be bullying me."

Yao Ran was at a loss for words.

Jiang Nian pursed her lips and smiled, wanting to kiss her again.

Yao Ran intentionally dodged.

Knowing she had misspoken, Jiang Nian wrapped herself around Yao Ran in an embrace. "I was wrong."

Yao Ran wanted to laugh at this sight. She always spouted nonsense at top speed, then apologized at the drop of a hat.

Jiang Nian stared at her imploringly and called out sweetly, "Sister~" She knew Yao Ran couldn't resist her when she acted cute like this. It worked every time.

Yao Ran was helpless. She smiled and said, "You child."

Jiang Nian pressed her down and held her, her smile captivating. She was now completely unabashed. "What can you do? Even if I'm childish, I'm still yours."

Yao Ran was sweetened by that smile and silently kissed her back.
