OO Romance—The Yuri Of All Yuri! - Chapter 14

For a moment, Su Yi thought she had misheard.

What did she just say? Try it?

Wasn’t she enjoying living in my body so much she’d forgotten to go home? And if we switch back now, she’s the one who’ll be detained!

Or was she absolutely certain that even kissing wouldn’t switch them back?

But who could guarantee something like that? Why was she so sure they wouldn’t switch back?

Or maybe… she was worried that if this continued, she really wouldn’t be able to hold on to her patron, Cen Qingke? So whether it worked or not, she had to try?

No matter what Bian Lu was thinking, they had no other leads right now. One more attempt meant one more chance.

Su Yi said, “Fine. Let’s try.”

Bian Lu looked as if she did not care either way. Once Su Yi agreed, she got up and sat down by the bed. She pulled out a wet wipe and first wiped her own lips.

“Do you want to wipe too? Although I don’t think you’re dirty, you probably think I am, right?”

So she actually had some self-awareness.

The body Bian Lu was using now was Su Yi’s, so the lips were naturally hers too. In theory, Su Yi did not dislike herself. But Bian Lu’s soul was living in her body, and Su Yi disliked that.

Likewise, Su Yi did not dislike her own soul. But she was currently living in Bian Lu’s body, and she disliked that too.

She did not dislike her own body, but disliked Bian Lu’s soul. She did not dislike her own soul, but disliked Bian Lu’s body.

This whole dislike-yet-not-dislike situation was awkward and strange when put into words, and the logic seemed odd too. But none of that stopped Su Yi from pulling out a wet wipe and wiping her own lips as well.

In fact, she had already wiped once after drinking the porridge just now. But wiping again was not too much. She even wanted to go brush her teeth.

Forget it. Brushing after kissing would be the same. Better a short pain than a long one. What if this really switched them back?

Her gaze unconsciously followed Bian Lu, watching as Bian Lu finished wiping and tossed the wet wipe into the trash can. When Bian Lu lifted her eyes again, she was looking right at Su Yi.

Light poured down from above. Bian Lu’s high nose bridge caught the warm glow, while her eyes hid in shadow. Her dark pupils were hazy and deep. Her long lashes seemed to separate two worlds, and every blink carried a glimmer of flowing light.

It was clearly Su Yi’s own face, one she had long been used to seeing, yet in this moment, there was an indescribable feeling.

It was not an unpleasant feeling.

Rather… it was subtle, hard to describe. Like waking up naturally in the morning, sunlight slipping through the gap in the curtains and landing on her face. Her mind was still a little muddled, but her whole body was warm and comfortable.

“What’s wrong? Come on.”

Bian Lu’s expression did not change, and her heart did not seem to race at all. It was as if she had long been used to this kind of intimate game.

Su Yi: “…”

What comfortable feeling? She took back what she had just thought!

Bian Lu tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear. Her fingers were pale and delicate as spring onions. Pressing against the mattress, she leaned closer to Su Yi and said in a breathy voice, “Do you need me to close my eyes?”

Su Yi: “…”

Why did she suddenly lean in and use that breathy voice?!

Also, was this about whether or not she closed her eyes? Who could kiss their own face? She wasn’t a narcissist!

“What? Still can’t do it?”

What a sarcastic remark.

Su Yi sneered. “If you can, you do it.”

Bian Lu said softly, “I can’t really do it either.”

Su Yi said, “Then what do we do?”

“If the problem is just that you’re looking at your own face…”

After a brief pause, Bian Lu got up and turned off the light.

“This way, we can’t see anything. It should be fine—”

“Turn on the light!”

“What?”

“Turn on the light!!”

Perhaps Su Yi’s hysterical tone frightened Bian Lu, because Bian Lu immediately turned the light back on. Only, the way she looked at Su Yi was somewhat puzzled.

“You… are afraid of the dark? No, that’s not right. You weren’t afraid even when you were trapped in an elevator alone. How could you be afraid of the dark? What exactly is wrong?”

Su Yi clenched her faintly trembling fingers and forced herself not to lose control of her expression. She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, “What could be wrong with me? I just don’t like kissing a stranger in total darkness.”

After a pause, she suddenly realized something. “When was I ever trapped in an elevator? Why don’t I know about that?”

Bian Lu blinked. Even without the blessing of her deer eyes, those long, narrow eyes still made her look innocent when she blinked.

“Did I say something like that?”

“You. Said. It.”

“Maybe I… dreamed it?”

Heh.

What kind of dream was that supposed to be?!

“Since turning off the light won’t work, how about this?”

Bian Lu walked over quickly. Usually, she moved slowly, but now her hands and feet were unexpectedly efficient. She grabbed Su Yi and pulled her off the bed.

Su Yi stumbled as she was dragged along. Her slippers were not fully on, and one nearly flew off.

“What are you doing?!”

“Changing places.”

“Changing places will make it not my face? What are you thinking?”

Bian Lu pulled her out of the bedroom and all the way to the changing area inside the walk-in closet, where mirrors were embedded all around. Only then did she stop.

“Here should work.”

“Here?”

Su Yi looked at the front, back, left, right, and even overhead. Every mirror reflected the two of them.

“Are you trying to fight poison with poison?” she scoffed. “Wow, amazing. Should I praise you for being so creative?”

“You misunderstood.”

Bian Lu took two steps back, her back pressing against the spotless mirror. She smiled faintly. “Don’t look at me. Look at the mirror behind me.”

Su Yi immediately stopped smiling and said expressionlessly, “It seems you have a serious misunderstanding about your own height.”

Bian Lu’s body was shorter than hers. Although only a little shorter, with Bian Lu pressed against the mirror, if Su Yi looked straight ahead, all she could see was Bian Lu. She could not see the mirror at all.

Bian Lu laughed softly and sighed. “Who kisses with their neck stiff like that? Tilt your head a little. Your noses have to miss each other.”

Su Yi returned a smile that did not reach her eyes. “Don’t repeatedly flaunt your rich sexual experience. Don’t challenge my cleanliness issues.”

Bian Lu said, “Oh. Sorry. Actually, I don’t have much experience. Most of it is theory.”

Su Yi said, “Heh-heh.”

Bian Lu said, “I know you don’t believe me.”

Su Yi said, “Heh-heh.”

Bian Lu: “…”

Bian Lu said, “Tilt your head. Look at yourself in the mirror, which is my face right now. Focus on it. Since it isn’t your own face, it should feel much better, right?”

Much better?

Where did she get the confidence to think her face was better than mine?

Su Yi looked at Bian Lu’s face in the mirror. Those watery deer eyes looked innocent and pitiable. Her curled lashes were like blooming sunflowers. No wonder Shen Li had once said she wanted to burn off Bian Lu’s eyelashes with a lighter. They really were beautiful enough to make people jealous.

Shen Li was Su Yi’s close friend from the same major, the second daughter of the Shen family, and also an omega.

If this were a normal day, Su Yi would think this version of Bian Lu looked very green tea. But now the shell contained herself. Whether or not she was green tea, how could she not know?

She remembered something from the second semester of freshman year, which meant it had been more than two years ago.

Back then, Bian Lu was a scholarship recipient. She had excellent grades, was good-looking, and was quite popular with alphas and some betas. That alone was enough to make people jealous. Unfortunately, there were also so many filthy rumors about her, which gave those jealous people more than enough reason to ostracize her.

That time, Su Yi had rarely gone to the cafeteria for a meal and happened to see several betas pass by and deliberately bump into Bian Lu. Bian Lu’s tray fell to the floor, and the bend of her leg hit the corner of a chair. A student who liked Bian Lu stood up for her, but those betas said Bian Lu was being dramatic. It was just an accidental bump, what was the big deal?

At the time, Bian Lu’s eyes were red as she tried to mediate on both sides, looking pitiful and delicate. Shen Li had snorted coldly and said Bian Lu was a saintly bitch, really good at pretending.

Su Yi was not someone who blindly followed what others said, but when she looked at Bian Lu’s damp, red eyes, as if she were about to cry, she had also felt that this woman was a little affected.

At a time like that, either slap that beta twice and teach her a lesson, or turn around and leave without sparing her a single glance. What was the point of standing there, half-crying, trying to smooth things over?

Su Yi’s bad impression of Bian Lu had probably begun there.

Who could have imagined that two years later, when she herself became Bian Lu, she would realize that this was not a problem with Bian Lu herself, but a problem with her constitution?

Bian Lu was different from Su Yi. Su Yi had cool pale skin, and blood did not easily rush to her face. When she did turn red, it was usually her ears or her gland. But Bian Lu’s skin was thin and warm-blooded. The slightest emotional fluctuation easily showed on her face and eyes. Add to that her excellent tear ducts, and any small disturbance would make her eyes wet and the corners red, making her look as if she were pretending to be pitiful. In reality, it was just a normal physiological response.

A physiological response…

Su Yi looked at Bian Lu’s highly misleading face in the mirror.

Why were the corners of her eyes red?

Why were her eyes moist?

She had only recalled something from the past, and it was not as if her emotions had fluctuated that much. How had the “pitiful and delicate” mode been activated?

Was it guilt?

Guilt over so easily drawing conclusions about Bian Lu back then?

Guilt… as if!

So what if she had misunderstood Bian Lu on that point back then? She had never mentioned it to anyone, nor had she taken the initiative to discuss Bian Lu. What was there to feel guilty about?

Besides, even if it was a matter of constitution, that did not prove Bian Lu had never used that constitution to act like a green tea.

She did not feel guilty!

Why think so much?

Her stomach had finally started to feel better. They should hurry up and finish trying this, then sleep. Maybe with this one attempt, all their problems would be solved.

Su Yi pressed both hands against the mirror. Without looking at Bian Lu, or rather her own face, she tilted her head and looked at Bian Lu’s face in the mirror, slowly leaning in little by little.

Beside her ear came Bian Lu’s quiet reminder. “You’re off. A little to the left.”

She moved a little to the left.

“Too far. A little to the right.”

She moved a little to the right.

“Up.”

She moved up.

“Too far again. Down, then left.”

Su Yi: “…”

Down. Left.

“All right. That’s good.”

Su Yi: “…”

Good?

Then kiss!

Kiss!

Kiss…

Bian Lu asked in confusion, “Why aren’t you moving?”

They were far too close. The moment Bian Lu opened her mouth, warm breath sprayed against Su Yi’s cheek. That warmth spread along her skin to the ends of her nerves, and goose bumps instantly rose all over her body. Even the palm pressed to the mirror had faintly dampened with sweat.

Bian Lu quietly leaned against the mirror and waited. After a while, she murmured softly, “Do you hate it… that much?”

There seemed to be some words swallowed after “hate.”

Su Yi had no mind to care about Bian Lu’s emotions. A fear she had not felt in a long time spread from the depths of her soul, just like the instant the lights had gone out.

She was not afraid of the dark.

Yes, she was not afraid of the dark.

But the prerequisite was that the darkened space could only contain her alone, or contain many people. It could not contain only her and one other person.

Likewise, she was not afraid of kissing.

But the prerequisite was… they could not get too close.

But how was one supposed to kiss without getting close?

This was an unsolvable problem.

What should she do?

They only needed to move a tiny bit closer to test it, so why couldn’t she do it?

This woman really was waiting far too calmly. Couldn’t she help by pressing her head forward or something?!

Su Yi closed her eyes and suddenly found it ridiculous.

Why?

Why did this mess belong to both of them, yet she was the only one suffering?

She decisively pulled away and took two steps back, leaning against the mirror herself. In her pleated nightgown, with dark hair falling over her shoulders, she touched her own lips with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“You do it.”

“Mm?”

“You look at my face in the mirror and do it.”

Bian Lu’s eyes widened slightly, as if she had heard some fantasy tale.

“Are you sure? Don’t you think this is blasphemy against you?”

“We have to kiss anyway. What’s the use of caring about that?”

Once we switch back, it won’t be too late to settle accounts with you!

Su Yi said, “Don’t tell me you can’t do it either. With all your rich experience, surely you know how to kiss, right?”

Bian Lu hesitated. “I do know how, but…”

“But what?”

“But I’ve never kissed an omega before.”

Heh.

What was this? Indirectly showing off that she had seduced plenty of alphas?

“What’s the difference? Just treat me as an alpha.”

“That might be… a little difficult.”

“What’s so difficult about it? Are you doing this on purpose? Do you want to take over my nest and not switch back?”

Bian Lu pressed her lips together. As she herself had said, once she opened her mouth, she would smile. “What if I do?”

What?!

She actually dared to admit it?!

“I really don’t want to switch back. Look at you. You’re rich, beautiful, and have a good reputation. It’s something many people couldn’t beg for even after hundreds of lifetimes. Then look at me. Even putting all that aside, just the fact that I’ll be detained once I switch back—do you think I’d want to?”

Wolfish ambition!

Sure enough!

Su Yi had known this woman had no good intentions!

Su Yi laughed from anger. “You don’t really think I’m afraid to die with you, do you?”

“Mm.”

Su Yi: “!!!”

She actually nodded without hesitation?!

Bian Lu said, “You don’t dare. You can’t bear to leave your mother.”

“Bian! Lu!”

Bian Lu pressed one hand against the mirror beside Su Yi’s face. She was clearly smiling gently, and her tone was soft, yet she was infuriating beyond belief.

“All right, I was teasing you. I’ll kiss you, okay?”

Now she was acting wronged?!

Su Yi was furious and, in her rage, spoke without thinking. “This is my first kiss! Don’t act cute after getting the advantage!”

Bian Lu had the nerve to shamelessly say, “But it’s my first kiss too. You’re not losing out either.”

“What do you mean, ‘ah’?! You’re not allowed to use my face to say that!”

“Oh. But it really is my first kiss.”

“Heh. Who are you trying to fool, an idiot?”

“Mm.”

Su Yi: “…”

How did a person get angered to death alive?

She was the bloody example!

Not only did Bian Lu disgust her, she angered her too. Was this even human?!

They had to switch back.

Immediately!

If Su Yi remained entangled with this woman for even one more second, she would die on the spot!

Borrowing that rush of anger, Su Yi suddenly pushed Bian Lu. With a thud, she reversed their positions and pressed Bian Lu against the mirror. Tilting her head, she kissed her.
