OO Romance—The Yuri Of All Yuri! - Chapter 16

Bian Lu had never imagined there would come a day when she could actually gain the upper hand in front of Su Yi. In her previous life, that would have been nothing but wishful thinking.

The twenty-seven-year-old Su Yi acted decisively. She trusted no one, and she would not show mercy to anyone—not even blood relatives. As long as someone offended her or stood in her way, they would not end well.

In order to take complete control of the Su Group, the twenty-seven-year-old Su Yi had ruthlessly maneuvered her uncle out of his shares and kicked him out of the company.

And those shares had been given to her uncle by Su Yi’s father on his deathbed, when he had entrusted him with helping take care of Su Yi.

Even after her uncle was driven out, he did not resent her. Later, he managed to make a comeback through livestream selling. Quite a few people sympathized with him and thought he was loyal and sentimental, while Su Yi was too cold-blooded.

Bian Lu did not know much about the twists and turns behind it. She only knew that Su Yi’s father had died from a failed surgery when Su Yi was in her second year of high school. All these years, it had been thanks to her uncle maneuvering around the board of directors. Otherwise, how could sixteen-year-old Su Yi and a mother who had never concerned herself with group affairs possibly fight those man-eating, bone-spitting villains on the board?

Bian Lu did not know when Su Yi had become so ruthless and merciless.

In her previous life, she had been too busy running herself ragged. She had never once stopped to look at anyone aside from Cen Qingke. She had always thought Su Yi was simply born that way, and that only a person like her could stabilize such a massive Su Group amid a business world surrounded by wolves and tigers.

However, it seemed she had understood wrongly.

At least the current twenty-one-year-old little Su Yi was not yet that ruthless. She had not yet used every means possible to drive Bian Lu out of her body.

If it had been the twenty-seven-year-old Su Yi, every second Bian Lu remained in Su Yi’s body would have left Su Yi restless. Su Yi would never allow a ticking time bomb like Bian Lu to appear inside the family business she had worked so hard to hold together. From the moment they swapped, Su Yi would have gone sleepless, trying every possible method to switch them back. She would not care whether her own body was harmed. Even if she had to cripple it, she would still drive Bian Lu out.

But twenty-one-year-old little Su Yi paid a great deal of attention to her own body. Compared with driving Bian Lu out, she did not actually seem quite so urgent.

Putting it that way, the twenty-seven-year-old Su Yi had already been very merciful toward her. Clearly, she had hated Bian Lu so much, yet she had not caused her any real harm. At most, she had only mocked her a few times and made things difficult for her.

Or perhaps a small fry like Bian Lu had been too insignificant to be worth noticing. She had no conflict of interest with Su Yi, so Su Yi could not be bothered to deal with her.

Oh, no. It was not that there was no connection at all.

She had still carried the title of Cen Qingke’s kept little lover.

But with Su Yi’s status, she might not even have looked favorably upon Cen Qingke, so how could she possibly take someone like Bian Lu seriously?

Still, Su Yi probably did have some favorable feelings toward Cen Qingke. Otherwise, she would not have accepted Cen Qingke’s invitation.

Unfortunately, the only official private date they had in her previous life had ended with Bian Lu’s death.

She wondered whether Cen Qingke had cursed at her tombstone after she died.

Probably not. How would Cen Qingke have time to visit her grave?

The wave-shaped shoe-changing bench was made of high-grade gray leather and came just up to her knees. It was very comfortable to sit on.

Bian Lu sat on that shoe-changing bench while Su Yi changed clothes in the bedroom.

She truly had not expected that for something as simple as a kiss, Su Yi would dawdle for so long and still avoid it in the end.

She thought of how Su Yi had said that night had been her first kiss.

Could Su Yi have been shy?

But Su Yi did not seem like the kind of person who would be shy over such a small thing. That night, during the dare, when Su Yi had grabbed her and kissed her, she had not hesitated at all.

Most importantly, they were both omegas. What was there to be shy about? At most, it would be awkward, right?

But for the sake of switching back, that bit of awkwardness should not have counted for much, right?

Perhaps it was not shyness or awkwardness, but fear.

What was Su Yi afraid of?

When Bian Lu had turned off the lights, Su Yi’s reaction had been intense. Although Su Yi had clearly restrained herself, Bian Lu could still sense that fear.

Su Yi was not afraid of the dark, but she was afraid of the lights being turned off?

Su Yi was not afraid of kissing, but because of that kiss, her palms had sweated from fear?

Bian Lu’s gaze fell on the mirror Su Yi had pressed against earlier. There had originally been a damp handprint on it. Bian Lu had just taken a tissue and wiped it away.

That was Su Yi’s handprint.

To be precise, it was the handprint of Bian Lu’s body.

She understood her own body best. She was sensitive to cold, heat, bumps, and pain. The slightest emotion rushed to her face. Her tear ducts were developed, and so were her sweat glands.

That was why people always said she pretended to be fragile.

But it was not as if she wanted that. She did not want to become drenched in delicate sweat after walking only a few steps, nor did she want her eyes to turn misty over the slightest emotion.

In fact, she rather envied someone like Su Yi. Cool pale skin that did not flush easily. Emotions that did not easily leak out. She had never seen Su Yi cry or sweat. No matter when, Su Yi was always noble and calm.

Mm…

She could not say that completely now. This body swap had allowed her to see just a little bit of Su Yi’s lack of calm.

Only a little, though. Su Yi’s expression management was actually very good. If the twenty-one-year-old Bian Lu had faced Su Yi, then Bian Lu would have been the one losing her composure. Su Yi definitely would not have revealed the slightest flaw.

In the end, Bian Lu was only benefiting from having lived one extra lifetime.

Still, she had not expected that a bristling Su Yi could be rather interesting.

But what exactly was Su Yi afraid of?

It was also possible that Bian Lu was overthinking. When she was forced to do something she disliked, she would also sweat. Perhaps Su Yi simply hated her.

After Su Yi finished changing, she told Bian Lu they would try again tomorrow.

Bian Lu was not actually in a hurry to switch back. Switching back would make the things she needed to do next inconvenient.

But she also did not mind switching back. At worst, things would be delayed a few days. She had endured for an entire lifetime, so a few more days did not matter.

But tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows were there?

This was already the second time. Was there going to be a third round tomorrow of “I can’t do it” and “I can’t really do it either”?

Better for her to do it.

She grabbed Su Yi’s arm and kissed her.

In truth, she knew what a real kiss looked like. She had seen Cen Qingke kiss others countless times.

It was just that, that night, Su Yi had not deepened the kiss when she kissed her, so Bian Lu did not dare take it upon herself to do more.

She only pressed their lips together, and Su Yi’s entire body went stiff. Bian Lu was genuinely afraid Su Yi would throw up in the next second, so she hurriedly pulled away.

Fortunately, Su Yi did not vomit. She even still had the energy to mock her.

It was just that Su Yi’s face was far too red, and the corners of her eyes were red too. If Bian Lu had not known her own constitution, she might almost have misunderstood and thought Su Yi had been stirred up by the kiss.

But how could that be possible?

They were both omegas, and Su Yi hated her so much.

Besides, this was Su Yi’s own body.

How could one feel anything from being kissed by oneself?

It was not even as good as facing a mirror…

Bian Lu glanced at the mirror. In it, Su Yi stood tall and graceful, her red lips vivid and bold. Those lips looked as if they should have some firmness to them, but in reality, they were soft beyond reason. Bian Lu had touched them. She knew.

Perhaps she was the only one who knew.

She closed her eyes, not knowing why she was thinking about all these pointless things.

She had chased after Su Yi just now and said she would take her to the hospital. She did not know whether Su Yi had heard her, so she quickly changed clothes and followed her out.

But the moment she opened the door, her arms were filled with softness and warmth.

“Be careful.”

It was only a word of concern, but Su Yi exploded.

“Isn’t it all because you suddenly opened the door?!”

Such an intense reaction did not quite fit the emotional control Su Yi had always insisted on.

Bian Lu wanted to ask why Su Yi had been standing at the door without leaving. She also wanted to ask why Su Yi had reacted so strongly. Had something happened?

But with Su Yi’s personality, how could she possibly tell her?

Bian Lu could only try asking in a roundabout way. Even if she could not get an answer, at least she could observe Su Yi’s expression. Perhaps she might be able to guess a clue.

After following Cen Qingke for so many years, she might not have learned anything else, but she had already mastered the art of reading people’s faces.

“You clearly went downstairs long ago. Why were you leaning against the door and not leaving? Why?”

She sat in the driver’s seat, tilting her head to look at Su Yi.

Su Yi’s face remained cold the whole time. Her expression did not change much, but her gaze was a little evasive, and her cheeks had flushed strangely.

She truly had to thank her own constitution. If Su Yi were in Su Yi’s own body, Bian Lu would never have noticed her embarrassment.

What exactly was wrong with Su Yi?

Bian Lu kept feeling as if she had asked something extraordinary. But had she not only asked why Su Yi had not left and was standing at the door?

“I… How could I have only gotten to the door? I specifically came back to find you.”

“To find me? To have me send you?”

“Of course not. To have you come to the hospital with me.”

“Why?”

“Of course to stop you from using my body to go fool around!”

The more Su Yi spoke, the more righteous she became. If not for the slight stutter when she first opened her mouth, Bian Lu might almost have believed it.

Su Yi glared at her. Those damp deer eyes were not fierce at all when glaring. Instead, they looked rather proud and delicate.

“What are you smiling for? It’s called taking precautions, understand?”

Bian Lu’s smiles in the past had always been habitual. But right now, she smiled because she could not help wanting to.

Although she did not know what the young miss was hiding, judging from Su Yi’s current state, nothing should have happened. Then there was no need to dig deeper. It probably also… was not important?

With a smile in her eyes, she said, “I understand. I won’t do anything reckless. You can video-call me anytime to supervise.”

The night was deep and quiet. There were few pedestrians and few cars. Bian Lu drove smoothly the whole way, barely encountering any red lights, and soon they arrived at the hospital.

She moved lightly through the corridor and sent Su Yi into the ward. More or less, her task was complete.

The moment Su Yi entered the ward, she started removing the duvet cover and changing the sheets. Seeing that Bian Lu was about to leave, she called out to stop her.

“You really came just to send me?”

“Really.”

“Why do I find that so hard to believe?”

“Your body is mine, after all. A single, unmarked omega going out alone late at night—what if something happened? You’d be hurt emotionally, and I’d be hurt physically. That wouldn’t be good for either of us, right?”

Before she even finished speaking, the ward door opened. A young nurse in a pink uniform was about to step inside. She looked at Bian Lu, then at Su Yi, then swept her gaze over the backs of both their necks.

Pink. Pink. Both were pink!

The young nurse could not suppress the curve of her lips and said unnaturally, “I… I just came to see if you were back. It’s good that you’re back. Don’t run around anymore.”

With that, the young nurse closed the door and left as if nothing had happened. When she was only two or three steps away from the break room, she could not help breaking into a run.

The moment she entered, she lowered her voice and said excitedly, “OO romance! A real-life OO romance! And it’s two beautiful omegas!”

Her colleague, who had been dozing on the table, lifted her head, still half-asleep. “What OO romance? What kind of dream are you talking about?”

“It’s true! It’s the one who got the phone call earlier. I just went to see if she came back, right? Then she said to another omega, she said…”

The young nurse stomped her foot in excitement. “She said, ‘Your body is mine!’”

The dozing colleague instantly sat upright, fully energized.

“Come on, come on. Tell me everything properly!”

The night deepened.

In the end, Bian Lu still stayed.

Su Yi used her own words against her. With one hypocritical sentence—“Then I’d also be worried if you went back alone so late”—she welded Bian Lu to the chair… beside the hospital bed.

So sleepy…

After such a busy day, Bian Lu really was tired.

Drowsily, she propped herself against the bedside cabinet and looked at her own face sleeping quietly in the dim light.

Everything still felt like a dream.

Would she open her eyes again and find herself lying in a hospital bed, not actually dead from the car accident?

No, better not.

If she woke up, that would be the real nightmare.

But…

In a deep night like this, in such complete silence, looking at herself from this angle, her senses grew blurred. Reason became difficult to summon, and everything illusory and unreal began to ferment.

Her consciousness gradually became hazy. She knew she should go outside and let the cold wind blow over her, make herself a little more awake.

But she did not want to move.

Not even a little.

She held up her head and looked at herself, immersed in this unbelievable situation.

She had just kissed herself, using Su Yi’s lips.

So she and Su Yi had truly kissed.

Something Cen Qingke had dreamed of wanting had so easily been obtained by Bian Lu. If Cen Qingke found out, wouldn’t she be furious enough to die?

Bian Lu raised her hand and gently pressed her own lips.

No. They should be Su Yi’s lips.

The soft touch deepened the illusion, making everything feel even more unreal.

A hazy smile bloomed on her face. Suddenly, she understood Cen Qingke a little.

Why had that wastrel second daughter, who had passed through countless flowers, been unable to forget Su Yi?

Was it only because she could not have her, so she tossed and turned over it?

No.

Even the future Su Yi, cold-blooded and ruthless, was dazzling enough to make everyone look up at her.

From that one glance at the Olympiad, Bian Lu had known that a star could not be hidden forever among fish eyes. Even covered in dust, even stained with blood, she would one day shine brilliantly, fearing no rumors or slander.

Bian Lu’s fingers left Su Yi’s lips and slowly reached toward the sleeping Su Yi.

Speaking of which, it was strange. She had used this body for so many years, yet even until death, she did not remember what her own lips felt like.

Using Bian Lu’s lips, would Su Yi be curious?

Would she secretly touch them, just like Bian Lu?

Her fingertip gently touched the lips that should have originally belonged to her.

Unlike Su Yi’s lips, which looked firm but were actually unbelievably soft, Bian Lu’s looked soft but were surprisingly elastic.

How strange. Touching her own lips and actually thinking they felt pretty good?

Creepy. Definitely creepy.

She had just been about to withdraw her hand when her wrist was suddenly grabbed!

Su Yi opened her eyes. In the dim light, her eyes gleamed like a sea of stars.

“Caught you, didn’t I? Looks like the rumors aren’t all fake. If you go one day without that, you can’t control yourself.”
