Princess Syndrome - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Desire

Chu Yi’s surprise made her unable to react for a few seconds.

What had Su Lingyue just said?

She was keeping Ji Zhiyi.

And she didn't want money?

Chu Yi felt that Su Lingyue was lying to her, but was there any need? Why would she make up a ghost story about keeping Ji Zhiyi to lie to her?

There was no need.

Chu Yi was beginning to believe her claim.

But she still had a lot of doubts.

She asked: "Why?"

Su Lingyue was confused by the question: "What why?"

Chu Yi said: "Why do you want to keep her?"

Su Lingyue wanted to end this topic quickly, and said offhandedly: "We just wanted to, you know?" Then, she thought of the many people who had confessed to her, and she added: "She looks good."

That wasn't a lie.

Ji Zhiyi was indeed good looking.

Chu Yi had heard that many bosses from different companies were interested in Ji Zhiyi. They had tried to make appointments with her, but hadn't been successful.

But she was with Su Lingyue.

Chu Yi asked: "Doesn’t she hate you?"

Su Lingyue was choked by her words: "She does hate me."

Chu Yi was confused: "Then you two?"

Su Lingyue said: "At the start, she hated me, but after spending some time together, she didn't hate me anymore."

When she said those words, she felt a little guilty.

In Chu Yi’s eyes.

It was as if she was embarrassed.

She was still finding it hard to understand why, after spending some time together, she didn't hate her anymore. It wasn't that the words were hard to understand, but it was because she thought that Ji Zhiyi had a long-accumulated hatred for Su Lingyue, and that was why she was targeting her so much.

She didn't expect that she had targeted her all the way to her bed.

Her expression tightened: "Lingyue, you need to be careful, okay?"

Su Lingyue tilted her head: "What?"

Chu Yi said, worried: "I still feel that this isn't right. What if it's a trick of Ji Zhiyi?"

It wasn’t.

It was her who had been talking nonsense.

But the topic had already started heading in an uncontrollable direction. She couldn't change it back. Su Lingyue gave up, and said: "It's okay, anyway, I don't have anything that she would want."

Chu Yi said: "How can you say that? You have yourself and your soul!" She was afraid that Su Lingyue would hate herself. In her eyes, the Su Lingyue who should have been shining brightly, was self-tormenting. But, the more she understood her, the more her heart ached.

Perhaps others would think that she had everything, she had a good appearance, a good family, she was the daughter of the boss of Su Qi. If she wanted something, she could get it easily, right?

But the reality wasn't like that.

If she were Su Lingyue.

She couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't do something extreme.

Wait a minute, had Ji Zhiyi discovered Su Lingyue's laid-back nature?

Did she feel that it wasn’t fun to step on her?

So, she was thinking of crushing her soul?

Su Lingyue was already thinking of ending this topic. She still couldn't help but speak up for Ji Zhiyi: "She wouldn't, she’s not that type of person. And the relationship between me and her–" She paused: "She’s the one taking on more risks in this relationship."

Whether it was a fake relationship.

Or a real strategy.

Ji Zhiyi was the one who had to bear more risks.

Chu Yi heard her and stopped for a few seconds. She looked at Su Lingyue, and suddenly said, "Lingyue, you're done for."

Su Lingyue was eating a watermelon, and she turned her head.

Chu Yi said: "You've fallen for Ji Zhiyi."

Su Lingyue almost swallowed her spoon.

She swallowed the watermelon, and tried her best to act as if nothing was wrong: "Yeah, if I didn't like her, why would I keep her?"

Chu Yi knew.

That was not what she meant.

There were many kinds of ‘keeping’, and it could also be something impulsive. After all, they had only met for a short time.

But Su Lingyue always spoke up for Ji Zhiyi lately.

Earlier, she had just been a little confused.

Now, she could feel it.

Su Lingyue had fallen for Ji Zhiyi.

What about Ji Zhiyi?

She suppressed her worry, and asked: "Does Ji Zhiyi like you?"

Su Lingyue had a headache.

She wanted to end this topic again.

"She likes me." Su Lingyue said: "She loves me to death."

It was just that the calm tone of voice when she said those words was a bit strangely off.

Chu Yi could truly feel it.

Su Lingyue liked her.

But Ji Zhiyi didn't yet.

How could that do?

She gave Su Lingyue advice: "You can't let Ji Zhiyi know that you like her."

Although it was something completely irrelevant.

But Su Lingyue was curious: "Why?"

Chu Yi said: "What if this is Ji Zhiyi's trick? She's getting you to fall for her, and when you like her, she'll break up with you and make you suffer."

Su Lingyue frowned.

She was starting to regret talking about her being kept.

Chu Yi said: "So, you can't let her know. At least, until she likes you, you can't let her know."

Su Lingyue asked: "For her to like me?"

Chu Yi said: "That's right, you have to make her like you, so she won't bear to break up with you, and then you won't suffer."

If it wasn't because Su Lingyue had fallen for Ji Zhiyi.

She would have definitely pulled Su Lingyue to run far away.

But now that she had fallen for her.

There was no other choice, they could only create conditions to make Ji Zhiyi unable to leave Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue brushed away the little people who were fighting in her mind, and became interested: "How can I get her to like me?"

Look, look.

As soon as she mentioned Ji Zhiyi liking her, Su Lingyue’s eyes lit up.

Where was the Su Lingyue who was so pessimistic before?

Chu Yi sighed inside her heart, and still gritted her teeth to give Su Lingyue some ideas: "You two live together, so you have a lot of opportunities. Tempt her from time to time, and don't satisfy her in bed."

Su Lingyue: ...

How had they gotten to bed?

Her face didn’t change, but her heart sped up: "Oh."

The doorbell rang, it was the delivery. Chu Yi said: "I'll talk to you later."

Su Lingyue: ...

She didn't want to talk about it.

But Chu Yi didn't let her go. She came back and continued: "Also, you have to give her a feeling that is both close and distant."

Su Lingyue: "Why?"

"Mystery!" Chu Yi said: "The first rule for a long lasting relationship, is to maintain a sense of mystery, so that she'll become interested in you. If she’s interested, wouldn't that mean she's completely in love with you!"

Su Lingyue seemed to understand.

Chu Yi wanted to say more, but Su Lingyue picked up a steamed bun, and put it next to her mouth: "Eat breakfast."

"Hey..." Chu Yi bit into the bun.

Su Lingyue had eaten her fill with the fruit, and she leaned against the sofa. She didn't want to discuss about whether she liked someone or not, so she simply turned on the TV, and randomly chose a channel.

A movie was playing.

She thought of when she had watched the movie with Ji Zhiyi last night.

After Chu Yi had finished eating the bun, and saw that Su Lingyue was staring at the TV, she had a flash of inspiration. She remembered the books that she had read about the battle of love. She thought that Su Lingyue really needed them.

She patted Su Lingyue’s shoulder: "Wait for me."

Su Lingyue turned her head. She saw that Chu Yi had rushed to her room in a few steps. After a while, she came back with a pile of books. She put them on the coffee table, and said in surprise: "What are these?"

"Love games, psychology." Chu Yi was introducing them to her: "And these few are the novels that I’ve bought."

Novels?

Did she need to read no...

[One Hundred Ways to Make My Wife Fall in Love With Me] [Entrancing] [Little Sister-In-Law] [Tonight I'll Get Drunk]

What were these?

Had the novels of this era become this graphic?

Back when she was in school, she had only read literary novels.

Chu Yi said: "These are all the treasures I have found from secondhand websites. One of the factors of making Ji Zhiyi unable to leave you, is to ensure that your sex life is in harmony." If it was before, Chu Yi would have definitely not said these words.

But since Su Lingyue and Ji Zhiyi had already done 'that', she felt that there was no need to hide anything.

Everything that could be said, was said.

Su Lingyue was speechless.

She randomly flipped one open.

"Sister-in-law, you don’t love my sister. You love me, right?" The woman’s hands became forceful, and she tore open the buttons of her shirt. She lowered her head painfully, and buried herself inside.

"Ah-It hurts-"

Su Lingyue blinked.

She immediately closed the book.

She saw that Chu Yi was still eating, and she couldn't help but mutter: "Where did you buy these from?"

Chu Yi said: "From a second-hand website. Do you want to buy some?"

Su Lingyue: ...

Just eat!

She didn't say anything. Chu Yi said: "There are a lot of experiences in there, you should study them carefully."

Study what?

One hundred positions to go to bed?

She and Ji Zhiyi?

Su Lingyue didn't know why she suddenly felt hot, she stood up, and felt that she couldn't stay here anymore.

Chu Yi saw her get up and asked: "Are you not going to eat breakfast?"

Su Lingyue said: "I'm full, I'm going to go pack my clothes."

Chu Yi nodded. Su Lingyue took a few steps back into her room. As soon as she lay on her bed, she realized that she was still holding that novel in her hand.

She was just curious.

Just curious.

Su Lingyue held onto that curiosity, and opened it up again.

"You can't do this, I'm your sister-in-law. We can’t."

"Why can't we? You and my sister are just acting. Has she ever kissed you like this? Has she ever hugged you like this? Has she ever touched you like this? Relax a little..."

Two bodies intertwined suddenly appeared in Su Lingyue’s mind.

They were wearing thin shirts, and their hands were buried inside the shirts. One person tilted their head slightly, her beautiful neck was gracefully elegant. She was biting at the smooth skin of her collarbones, the sensation was too good. She couldn't help but suck on it, until that person tightened her shoulders from the pain. She felt the pain, and she went to look at that person.

It was Ji Zhiyi.

Su Lingyue immediately threw the novel out. It hit the nightstand and fell on the floor with a ‘thud’.

Her face was red.

She didn't know what to do with this late ‘desire’.

Back in college, everyone in her dorm had a partner, but she was the only one who didn't. Clearly, the people who had confessed to her could go from her own school all the way to the next school, but she didn't have any interest at all. Everyone looked the same to her.

She didn't have any thoughts, or desires.

When she saw those men, she would always think of her father.

Which made her feel even more disgusted.

She knew that this was abnormal, but she couldn't control it. She hated to create a relationship with others. She was deeply opposed to it. What she had told Chu Yi before was all true. She felt that she wasn't worthy of a relationship.

Because she felt that she didn't deserve to be loved.

After being betrayed by her father and her friends countless times, she had hated herself for a long time. She had taken medicine, and had tried to improve it, but there was no effect. She was becoming more and more twisted in her heart, she hated herself.

Over time, she had started to learn how to reconcile with herself.

But, she still couldn't treat relationships equally.

The term ‘lover’ became the most unbearable shackle to her after seeing her parents' marriage.

She hated this kind of shackle.

She loathed it deeply.

So, she had never had feelings for anyone that were more than friendship, or even desire. She didn’t have any. Once, when she was watching a movie with Chu Yi, the male and female leads were entangled because of their emotions. Chu Yi was watching very intently, but she was bored.

Chu Yi couldn't help but ask her: "Don't you have any desires?"

She asked back: "Why should I have desires?"

Chu Yi said: "This is... A bodily instinct! When you see them being intimate, do you really not feel anything at all?"

She was calm and indifferent: "I don't."

At that time, it was true that she didn’t.

But now.

It was true that she did.

It wasn't because of that book.

But because of Ji Zhiyi.

She had desire for Ji Zhiyi.
