[CH.60] Gradually Skilled
Alice rubbed her hazy eyes and twisted her body to tuck her arm back under the covers. It was too cold outside, and it was warm inside the blanket.
"What time is it now? By the way, your face is quite red, senior."
"Um... it's about 8:30. Is my face really that red?"
"Yes, very red, like a ripe apple."
Alice stretched lazily and finally began to wake up a bit.
"By the way, senior, why were you lying on top of me? Is there something on my face?"
"Um... I was just... sorry."
The senior couldn't find a suitable reason and apologized softly, then turned over. But Alice reached out from the edge of the blanket, suddenly grabbing the senior's sleeve.
"Wait a moment, I don't mind it like this..."
Alice's cheeks were bright red, and she nestled under the senior, hiding half her face under the blanket.
"Can we stay like this for a while? Can we?"
In the gentle moonlight, Alice's eyes sparkled with a glistening light as her gaze constantly darted elsewhere.
Just waking up, Alice wasn't clear about what had happened earlier. She only felt the presence of her senior in front of her, and that her senior was by her side.
There was a sweet taste in her mouth, and her lips retained a slight, soft soreness. For some reason, Alice's breath became slightly irregular, her waist grew a bit weak, and even the area beneath her became sticky and warm.
These were physical anomalies, but Alice paid them no mind.
In front of her was her senior, and that was the only thing Alice noticed.
Alice held her senior's hand and asked softly, "Where did you go today?"
"I went to school for classes... and such."
"Are you having a good time?"
"It's okay... I can't really say if it's good or bad. It's just the same thing every day."
Every day was pretty much the same, not particularly happy or boring. For Li Meiting, it was just a routine to be followed.
"Isn't a simple and ordinary life better? I feel like today has been terrible for me."
Alice summed up all the unpleasantness of the day in one sentence, burying her head completely under the blanket as she complained to her senior.
Alice despised everything that had happened on that day.
Whether it was waking up and not seeing her senior, being dragged into a car by a stranger, or being tickled by Chen Qianqiu, it was all incredibly troublesome.
However, the same sentence, when heard by her senior, had a different meaning.
"What do you mean by 'terrible' exactly?"
"Just various things, I don't want to go into details..."
Things that she didn't want to talk about and were terrible. For Li Meiting, other than last night's intimate encounter, what else could it be?
She had held Alice and repeated the same action many times. Towards the end, Alice would inevitably start to feel terrible.
"Um... do you still feel uncomfortable now?"
"I'm still a bit tired, maybe because I slept too long? I just feel so sleepy..."
"I'm sorry."
"Huh? Why are you apologizing? Senior, you haven't done anything wrong."
"I should have been with you all day today. After all... well, let's forget it. Would you like something to eat? I can make it for you."
"Wait, I'm not hungry yet. I want to stay like this for a while... just chat with me, it's been a while since we had the chance to talk like this, right?"
Alice held her senior's hand tightly, not allowing her to leave. She only peeked her eyes out from under the blanket, and those eyes sparkled with anticipation as they quivered in her senior's direction.
At this moment, her senior could only be on her knees, resting on top of Alice, her left hand supporting her upper body with the weight on the pillow.
Alice lay beneath her, with only a layer of blanket between them. Li Meiting's right hand was held by Alice, and the other's delicate fingers moved naturally through her own, slipping through the gaps between her fingers.
They say that holding hands can let you feel each other's heartbeat. But in this moment, Li Meiting could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
"Um... don't you need something to drink? Are you thirsty?"
"No, I'm neither thirsty nor hungry. I just want to stay like this a little longer. Senior, talk to me about anything."
"What would you like to talk about?"
"Anything is fine, I just want to hear your voice."
"What's that? Haven't I been talking to you all this time?"
"Well... then let's just stay like this for a while, let me indulge in a little daydream..."
"Daydream about what?"
"..."
Faced with the question, Alice buried her reddened cheeks in the blanket, silent.
This only piqued her senior's curiosity, and she shook Alice's small hand, repeatedly asking.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come on, at least respond to me."
Alice really wanted to pull her arm back under the blanket, but their intertwined fingers were a joint effort.
Even though Alice was the one who initially sought to interlace their fingers, as long as her senior didn't let go, Alice couldn't easily break free.
"Tell me."
"Um... it's just that, being pinned like this by you, looking like this, I'm sort of hoping that you'll kiss me. It's just a little bit of expectation..."
The more Alice spoke, the softer and more flushed her face became. She once again hid under the blanket and complained to her senior through the covers.
"Don't make me say things like this, can't you tell I don't want to? It's a bit funny, isn't it? Suddenly wanting you to kiss me, you can laugh if you want."
"What's funny about it? I didn't find it amusing at all. By the way, where do you want me to kiss you?"
"Do you really plan to kiss me?"
Alice once again stuck half of her head out.
"I'm not talking about a joking kiss, are you seriously planning to kiss me? A serious one, like lips to lips..."
"If you agree to it, of course, I can. It can be my way of compensating you. Do you want me to kiss your lips?"
"Um... no, upon further thought, let's forget it—"
Just when Alice was about to hide under the blanket again, her senior suddenly leaned in and kissed her tender lips.
The sudden kiss interrupted their conversation, and after a slight evasion, Alice leaned in to meet her senior.
She responded to her senior, drawing from their previous experience, and Alice's skills gradually improved.
Unlike the stolen kiss in the opposite direction in their previous dreams, Alice's response took their connection to a whole new level.
It was a more passionate interaction, different from before.
In this tender response, even the one who had been leading the way, her senior, gradually lost her consciousness.
Waves of excitement fueled Li Meiting's competitive spirit. She was completely pressed against Alice's body, using various methods to tease Alice's emotions, searching for her most sensitive spots.
This was an unequal match. Alice and her senior had different experiences and occupied different roles.
Generally, the feelings of the passive party were more intense than those of the active party. Because of her passive role, all Alice could do was respond and follow, while her senior, in the active role, could explore at will and change the direction of the attack in an instant, eluding Alice's compliance.
As the slender silver threads broke in the moonlight, Alice lay panting under the blanket.
Clear drops of water hung at the corner of her mouth, and a mist rose from her flushed cheeks. Alice still tightly gripped her senior's hand, and she intermittently squeezed out a soft request.
"Senior... I want to do it again..."
