Mute Beauty

Chapter 35: Pleasing

"Listening?"

"Did you have a nightmare?"

She would never know that Yu Ting had just been dreaming about her in a spring dream, and Yu Ting was still lost in that dream, feeling a little reluctant to part with it as she gazed at Ran Ling's dimly lit, soft white face. Ran Ling's innocent and pure eyes inexplicably annoyed Yu Ting.

Yu Ting's displeasure was immediately noticed by Ran Ling.

"Did I wake you up?"

Ran Ling bent down to caress her cheek, biting her lip, her eyes full of guilt expressing: I should have been gentler and not woken you up.

Seeing her nervousness, Yu Ting managed to break free from her irritation slightly. The mischievous side of her made her curious about how Ran Ling would comfort her if she continued to ignore her, so she purposely frowned, putting on an impatient look, tilting her head to avoid her touch.

Ran Ling was taken aback, then furrowed her brows, anxiously and aggrieved, as she held Yu Ting's shoulder, leaning down to nuzzle her forehead.

Listening...

Listening...

Don't be angry.

She was worried that if Yu Ting got angry, she wouldn't want to accompany her to the art exhibition, which was their first date after getting married.

She knew she wasn't good at comforting people; many of her words couldn't express what she felt, and she couldn't make Yu Ting feel it precisely. Her sadness seemed to seep from her eyes, wrapping around Yu Ting like a soft, sticky feeling. Her body and face appeared hazy in the dark, as if covered by a layer of gauze. Her shoulders, her arms, her palms... as she caressed Yu Ting, an undercurrent of ripe yet inexperienced tenderness radiated from her, softening Yu Ting's heart.

They were closer now, with Ran Ling almost on top of her, completely enveloping her. It seemed that if she didn't get angry, Yu Ting wouldn't be allowed to go anywhere.

They seemed to be trapped in a warm cradle together, with the desires from the dream quietly blossoming in their hearts—the taste of kissing a woman like her.

In the darkness, Yu Ting asked hoarsely, "What time is it?"

Ran Ling turned to find the phone she had just tossed aside, lowering the brightness to show Yu Ting.

It was already two in the afternoon; they had been sleeping together for almost an hour.

Worried that Yu Ting hadn't slept enough, Ran Ling texted on her phone: [It's still early; do you want to sleep a little longer?]

"Are you that afraid I'll get angry?"

Yu Ting's tone was neutral, making it hard to discern what she was thinking. But Ran Ling knew she was asking knowingly; she clearly knew everything.

The woman lying on top of her had a complaining look in her eyes. Yu Ting deliberately lowered her voice in a teasing manner and asked, "Do you know how my girlfriends used to comfort me when I was dating?"

Ran Ling clearly didn't know and immediately felt an urgency to find out after she said that.

This was exactly what Yu Ting wanted; her eyes curved with a smirk as she said mischievously, "They would act cute, beg me, say what I wanted to hear, kiss me until I was satisfied..."

Just those light words nearly drowned Ran Ling in jealousy.

Even though she already knew about Yu Ting's romantic history, hearing her say it out loud made her feel unbearably upset.
