After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 41 Drinking Game

In a quiet and silent atmosphere, Bai Xiying suddenly frowned ever so slightly.

She raised her eyes, glancing over Lin Xingzhu's calm face as she sipped her tea, then lowered her gaze again, trying to endure.

The sudden interruption of her emotional release and joy left her in a state of suspended tension; just moments ago, she had focused entirely on listening to Lin Xingzhu's explanations, her mind taut and tense, instinctively ignoring her body's condition.

Due to her unique experiences in her past life, Bai Xiying had developed a habit of venting her emotions in such a way during turbulent times.

No, it couldn't be called a habit.

Bai Xiying thought with lowered eyes; it was an addiction of the body.

During numerous rounds of traditional medicine treatments, and even when Qiao Zijing had confined her to force compliance, Bai Xiying had managed to endure through sheer willpower, close to the brink of collapse. Sometimes, she would even seek tools to liberate herself. In any case, whatever the tool or method of release, it was cleaner than the people who made her feel nauseous.

After so many times, by the time Bai Xiying realized it, her body's endurance and resistance had been worn down to an unrecognizable state due to drug stimulation and self-soothing. Even the slightest provocation could make her feel like a slave controlled by desire.

Unknowingly, using toys to release her emotions during intense fluctuations had become an inescapable habit for Bai Xiying.

Clean, devoid of thought, with control in her own hands.

Toys were the best tools to release her pleasure.

In this life, Bai Xiying hadn't suffered much harm physically, but the addiction rooted in her heart before her rebirth clung to her like a parasite; her body remained young and pure, but her heart was not.

After a moment, Lin Xingzhu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and explained, "Don't overthink it. Ending our external relationship doesn't mean our feelings will be affected; our bond remains the same as always."

Bai Xiying responded with a subdued "Oh," suppressing the strange feeling between her lips and teeth, and said calmly, "Isn't it strange for outsiders to see us being friends after a breakup?"

Lin Xingzhu was momentarily speechless.

That was true.

But suddenly, she sensed a possessiveness from Bai Xiying regarding the title of "girlfriend."

Bai Xiying controlled a faint smile, saying, "Don't overthink it. I just realized that being non-single helps me avoid a lot of trouble."

While saying this to Lin Xingzhu, Bai Xiying was swirling with a multitude of emotions inside; her body still felt uncomfortable, and her heart felt as if it were being crushed under a heavy stone.
