OO Romance—The Yuri Of All Yuri! - Chapter 6

Agreeing was one thing, but Su Yi did not immediately go looking for Cen Qingke.

What ten-minute deadline? What did that have to do with her?

Su Yi was in no hurry, and Bian Lu naturally did not dare urge her. She was afraid that if the young miss got upset, she really would throw up her hands and refuse to do anything.

Su Yi took her time picking and choosing, wandering through her own walk-in closet as if she were browsing the counters of a luxury boutique. After finally putting together an outfit, she still did not rush to put it on. Instead, she leisurely chose an outfit for Bian Lu too, from head to toe, not even sparing the earrings.

“Take these and put them on. You’re wearing my body right now. You’re not allowed to embarrass me.”

Bian Lu held an armful of shoes, clothes, sunglasses, and jewelry. Helplessly, she said, “Didn’t you say I didn’t need to go out?”

Su Yi rolled her eyes. “I don’t know where Cen Qingke lives.”

“I can send you the location.”

Su Yi pulled the glass wardrobe door shut and looked back at her. Her face was clearly so beautiful, yet every inch of her expression was filled with disdain.

“I’m not looking down on you, but do you have a driver’s license?”

A driver’s license?

The current Bian Lu indeed did not have one, but a year later, for the sake of picking up and dropping off Cen Qingke more conveniently, she would specifically go and get one.

But even if she did have a license now, Miss Su would still have a thousand ways to mock her.

In her previous life, Bian Lu had been mocked for so many years that she had long since grown used to it. Su Yi’s contempt for her had sunk deep into her soul. No matter how perfectly she did something, Miss Su could always find some tricky angle from which to look down on her.

The twenty-one-year-old her might have felt sad because of Su Yi’s mockery.

But the twenty-seven-year-old her…

How to put it?

It was like a max-level boss returning to the newbie village. Faced with twenty-one-year-old little Su Yi, whose single sentence could once empty her health bar, twenty-seven-year-old Bian Lu had become someone who lost health more slowly than she regenerated it.

“-1, -1, -1, -1, -1,” and then whoosh, “+1000.”

Her health bar was always full.

However many tens of thousands of points of damage Su Yi had dealt her in her previous life, this lifetime’s Bian Lu had just as many tens of thousands of points of defensive bonus.

Twenty-one-year-old Su Yi was far less lethal than she would be six years later. In the eyes of twenty-seven-year-old Bian Lu, the angles from which twenty-one-year-old Su Yi mocked people were even a little… cute.

She did not know how to describe that feeling. It was probably like kindergarten-aged little Su Yi saying to adult Bian Lu:

[I’m not looking down on you, but do you have a lollipop as tasty as mine?]

“I’m not looking down on you, but do you have a driver’s license?”

“Oh, I really don’t.”

“Then hurry up and change clothes so you can drive me. My body has a driver’s license.”

[Then hurry up and drive me out to play. I’ll allow you to lick my lollipop once.]

“What are you smiling for? Hurry up!”

“Oh.”

With her health bar full, Bian Lu asked another question. “Where should I change?”

They could not possibly stay in the same room and change together. Su Yi would absolutely refuse.

Sure enough, Su Yi said, “I’m used to changing in the walk-in closet. You go change in the bedroom.”

“Okay.”

Bian Lu turned and went back into the bedroom, closing the door behind her. She first piled the armful of clothes and jewelry at the foot of the bed.

The silk slip nightgown had no zipper. Taking it off from top to bottom was bad for the straps. Taking it off from bottom to top was the correct way.

She crossed her arms, grabbed the hem of the skirt, and pulled it upward. Just as she pulled it to her waist, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Su Yi walked in holding Bian Lu’s clothes and even called out, “Wait!”

Bian Lu instinctively turned to look and met Su Yi’s gaze head-on.

The air fell into an eerie silence.

The rush of air brought in by the suddenly opened door drifted over, making the hem of the nightgown sway twice. It brushed against her navel, sending a tingling numbness through her skin.

Su Yi’s pupils moved. Her gaze slowly traveled downward, finally stopping at a shameful angle.

Almost the next second, Su Yi rushed over.

“How can you be so shameless? Put my nightgown down!”

As she spoke, Su Yi had already grabbed the hem of the skirt and forcefully pressed it down.

Bian Lu looked at Su Yi speechlessly.

“How am I shameless? How am I supposed to change without taking off the nightgown?”

“You still can’t secretly look. This is my body. If you sneak a look, then you’re shameless!”

“Be reasonable. You not only looked at my body when you bathed just now, you also touched it. I didn’t say anything.”

“Don’t make it sound so disgusting. I used a towel the whole time. I didn’t touch you at all!”

“Not even once?”

“No!”

“All right, let’s say you didn’t. You’re an omega, and I’m an omega too. From the inside out, whether organs or internal structure, we’re exactly the same. Even if I saw something, what would it matter?”

“What would it matter? You’re asking me what would matter? Just because you don’t value privacy, are you going to blame other people for valuing it too much?”

Su Yi threw the clothes in her arms onto the bed.

“Putting everything else aside, luckily it was me who came in. If it had been some other alpha or beta, wouldn’t they have seen me completely?”

Compared with Su Yi’s stiff tone, Bian Lu’s voice was as gentle as a water-soaked sponge warmed by sunlight.

“Weren’t you the one who told me to change in the bedroom?”

“I did say that, but why didn’t you lock the door? If you don’t lock the door, doesn’t that mean you’re silently allowing others to come in whenever they want? Doesn’t that mean you’re deliberately seducing people?”

“If I remember correctly, there are only the two of us in this villa. This is your body, and you’re not someone else.”

“Don’t secretly change the concept. This is a very serious issue of principle! You first need to have the belief that privacy is important. Only then will you take privacy seriously!”

Su Yi still had the same sharp tongue as always. The angrier she was, the clearer her thinking became, and the harder it was to guard against her or find a weak point.

Su Yi said, “And you’re using my body right now, which means you should pay even more attention to privacy. I won’t allow any accident to happen to me. Any accident! Understand?”

At a time like this, what could Bian Lu do except smile?

Su Yi had already adjusted her displeasure, replacing it with seriousness.

“I’ll emphasize this one last time. Don’t smile so softly and make yourself look so easy to bully. Don’t speak as if you haven’t been weaned either. Your tone needs to be firm! The moment others hear you speak, they should not dare provoke you casually. Understand?”

“I understand. So what now? Am I still changing?”

Although twenty-one-year-old Su Yi was not as ruthless as she would be six years later, she still possessed the decisiveness she should have.

Su Yi decisively pulled out the eye mask she usually used for sleeping, slipped it over Bian Lu’s head, and covered her eyes.

“I’ll change you. Stand still and don’t move. Whatever I tell you to do, you do.”

“Oh.”

With the eye mask on, Bian Lu could not see anything. Only a faint glimmer of light filtered through her eyelids. Because of that, her other senses were magnified.

She felt warm fingers brush against the side of her leg. The smooth silk nightgown slid past her waist. Beside her ear came Su Yi’s voice through Bian Lu’s own throat, cold and distant.

It was not the unapproachable tone of Su Yi’s original voice, nor was it Bian Lu’s former soft and dull way of speaking. It sounded like an angry lover in the middle of a passionate romance, fierce yet lingering.

“Raise your arms.”

With that kind of tone, who would be unwilling to raise them?

She obediently lifted her arms and felt the smooth silk slide over her neck, brush past her arms, and finally slip away from her fingertips.

“Stretch your arms out flat.”

Flat?

Su Yi was not wearing underwear. Bian Lu had already noticed that earlier. She understood that “stretch them out flat” meant extending her arms to both sides to make it easier to put on underwear. Still, she could not resist sticking both arms straight out in front of her like a zombie.

Su Yi speechlessly slapped her arm.

“How are you so stupid?”

Su Yi grabbed her arms and pushed them out to the sides.

“Hold them there. Don’t move.”

The underwear, which looked something like a posture corrector, was put onto her body. Su Yi did not tell her to lower her arms, so she kept them stretched straight out. Blindfolded, Bian Lu could instead feel more clearly how carefully Su Yi tried to fasten the front clasp for her.

Once. It did not fasten.

Twice. Still not fastened.

Three times. Still not fastened.

Was this Liu Bei visiting the thatched cottage three times? Was fastening a hook harder than inviting Zhuge Liang out of seclusion?

“Are you done? My arms are getting sore.”

“You think I want this? I don’t want your hands touching my… that thing.”

“What thing is ‘that thing’?”

“Are you doing this on purpose? You clearly know what I’m talking about.”

“Of course I know. It’s just that I originally wasn’t thinking about it much at all. But now that you keep making such a big deal out of it, I can’t help paying a little attention.”

“What are you paying attention to?”

“Don’t you know the flaw in human nature? The more something isn’t allowed to be seen or touched, the more curious people become, and the more they want to see and touch it.”

Before she finished speaking, Su Yi swiftly fastened the clasp, not caring whether “her” fingers accidentally touched “herself.”

“You’re not allowed to be curious. You’re not allowed to look!”

Bian Lu deliberately let out a long sigh and said softly, “Stop emphasizing it. If you keep emphasizing it, I really won’t be able to resist killing the cat.”

Curiosity killed the cat.

Huffing angrily, Su Yi quickly finished changing Bian Lu’s clothes. She even helped her put on the earrings. Only the high heels were left for Bian Lu to put on herself.

Bian Lu held back her laughter, afraid that if she laughed out loud, she would make the young miss bristle again.

Twenty-one-year-old Su Yi was much easier to understand than twenty-seven-year-old Su Yi.

Unfortunately, back then, the twenty-one-year-old Bian Lu had not understood her.

Time really was a wonderful thing. Looking back now, everything seemed to become clearer.

After helping her dress properly, Su Yi ordered her not to remove the eye mask. Then came another rustle of fabric. Su Yi changed herself too before finally pulling the eye mask off Bian Lu.

“Let’s go.”

Bian Lu followed Su Yi downstairs, then went directly through the villa to the garage behind it.

Su Yi randomly chose a low-key and inconspicuous Audi, sat in the passenger seat, and Bian Lu followed her into the driver’s seat.

The key was already inserted in the ignition. One twist and the car could start. Su Yi signaled for Bian Lu to turn it.

Bian Lu looked at Su Yi and smiled.

“What are you smiling for? Aren’t you in a hurry to see your old lover?”

Cen Qingke had demanded that she arrive in ten minutes. They had not even left yet, and they were already past the deadline.

If this were the Bian Lu of her previous life, she would definitely be anxious. But the Bian Lu of this lifetime understood Cen Qingke thoroughly. Although she was somewhat anxious, she was not that anxious.

She obediently placed both hands on her knees and said solemnly, “Did you forget? I don’t have a driver’s license.”

“I do. Just drive.”

Bian Lu smiled faintly. “But I don’t have a driver’s license, so how would I know how to drive?”

In her previous life, she had five years of driving experience. But that was her previous life, wasn’t it?

In this life, if she said she did not know how, then she did not know how. If Su Yi wanted her to know, there had to be conditions in exchange.

Su Yi frowned. “Cen Qingke didn’t teach you how to drive?”

“No.”

She had. But that was in the previous life.

“Then the few times you went to private rooms to fish her out when she was drunk, how did you take her away? Did you find a designated driver?”

“I took a taxi.”

“You could get a taxi in the middle of the night?”

“Didi.”

“…”

For someone from the upper class like Su Yi, calling a Didi in the middle of the night was undoubtedly not very safe. They usually hired designated drivers or had someone they knew pick them up. Even the designated drivers they used were usually the same few people, relatively safer.

Of course, none of that was the main point.

The main point was that the matter of Bian Lu being kept by Cen Qingke had already spread throughout the circle. Even Su Yi, whose social circle did not overlap much with Cen Qingke’s, knew it clearly.

There were rules to being a lover too. Especially with those rich young heirs and wastrels, their lovers all knew how to drive. Even without a license, they still had to know how. It was not only so they could safely send their patrons home when they drank too much, but also so it would be convenient for them to ask their patrons for a car.

A house, a car, and jewelry.

Those were the standard three-piece set for a lover. Any lover who received even a little favor could get all three.

Although there were a few lovers who did not know how to drive, how could Cen Qingke’s lover not know?

When Cen Qingke got drunk, she usually called Bian Lu to collect her. Although Su Yi had only heard this when friends were gossiping, she had indeed personally seen Bian Lu supporting a drunk Cen Qingke out of a club several times.

Besides, wasn’t Bian Lu doing this for money?

If she did not learn to drive, how could she get the full three-piece set?

Su Yi knew Bian Lu did not have a driver’s license because she had searched Bian Lu’s home thoroughly before leaving that morning and had found neither a license nor car keys. But she did not believe Bian Lu truly did not know how to drive.

Still, when she thought about how Bian Lu had followed Cen Qingke for more than two years and still had not gotten a license, maybe Cen Qingke really had not taught her.

Speaking of which, the house Bian Lu lived in was shabby enough. Cen Qingke was truly stingy. She did not even buy a better house for her little lover. How could she have the nerve to offer such a shabby secondhand apartment?

Or perhaps Cen Qingke thought Bian Lu had already been used by someone else and was only worth that much?

Thinking of the rumors about the bald man, Su Yi suddenly felt irritated.

Beside her, Bian Lu was still nagging. “You can guide me while I drive too, but you have to promise me one thing.”

“I won’t.”

“Don’t refuse so quickly. It’s very simple.”

“Stop making so many demands of me. You’re the one asking me for help in the first place. If you keep babbling, I won’t help anymore!”

Bian Lu tilted her head and looked at Su Yi. She could tell Su Yi was genuinely annoyed.

But she had clearly been fine just now. Why had it happened so suddenly?

Had Bian Lu done something to upset her again?

She had just been thinking that, at twenty-seven, it was much easier to understand a twenty-one-year-old. Unexpectedly, something she could not see through had appeared so quickly.

Perhaps when she was thirty-seven and looked back again, she would understand more thoroughly.

Bian Lu lowered her long lashes.

Originally, she had wanted to use the matter of driving to ask Su Yi that, no matter what Cen Qingke said later, Su Yi should not talk back. Everything could wait until they returned.

But right now, Su Yi clearly did not want to hear anything. If Bian Lu forced herself to say it, it would probably have the opposite effect.

Better to wait and watch for now.

Su Yi waved her hand, signaling for Bian Lu to get out and switch seats with her. Su Yi sat in the driver’s seat.

Bian Lu sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. She asked Su Yi, “You’re going to drive? But my body doesn’t have a driver’s license. What if we get caught?”

Coldly, Su Yi said, “If anyone gets arrested, it’ll be you. What does that have to do with me?”

“But the one in my body right now is you. If you really get detained, you’ll be the one suffering.”

“How could we be that unlucky? I’ve been driving for over three years, and the number of times I’ve had my license checked can be counted on one hand.”

“But we still have to follow laws and regulations.”

“I am following laws and regulations. In reality, I do have a driver’s license. I’ve actually been driving for over three years. Is there a problem?”

As she spoke, Su Yi had already skillfully turned the key, shifted gears, stepped on the clutch, and slowly drove out of the garage.

Bian Lu said quietly, “I’m just afraid the traffic police won’t listen to all that when the time comes.”

“What are you muttering about?”

“Nothing.”

Su Yi glanced at her through the rearview mirror. That look seemed to say, Just try cursing me behind my back.

Cen Qingke did not live with her family. Instead, she lived alone in an apartment not far from the company.

The apartment was in the city center, quite far from the university district, but rather close to Su Yi’s villa. If there was no traffic, it was about a fifteen-minute drive.

Cen Qingke demanding that Bian Lu appear in front of her within ten minutes was simply impossible. Cen Qingke was deliberately making things difficult for her.

The twenty-one-year-old Bian Lu would have known very well that Cen Qingke was deliberately making things difficult, yet she still would have rushed over anxiously as fast as she could.

But the twenty-seven-year-old Bian Lu had already learned to treat herself a little better.

Since she knew she could not make it, then she would come at an unhurried pace. As long as she did not exceed the time it would take to get there from the university district by too much, Cen Qingke would wait for her.

When they arrived at Cen Qingke’s apartment, the timing was just right.

Su Yi unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out. Bian Lu hesitated. She had spent the entire drive looking for the right opportunity, but never found one. If she did not remind Su Yi now, it would be too late.

She reached out and grabbed Su Yi.

Su Yi looked back at her, obvious impatience on her face. With her red lips pressed together, she asked, “What?”

“No matter what she says later, or what she asks you to do, just do it. I’ll explain when we get back, and I’ll fully cooperate with you to switch our bodies back. Please.”

She looked at Su Yi sincerely, not knowing whether Su Yi could see the earnest plea in her eyes.

Su Yi let out a cold laugh, said nothing, opened the door, got out of the car, and slammed the door shut with a bang.

From the sound of it, the young miss’s mood was not ordinary bad.

Bian Lu sighed.

Based on how deeply Su Yi had disliked her in the previous life, as well as how Su Yi ignored all other alphas but treated Cen Qingke with special favor, Cen Qingke must have been different in Su Yi’s eyes. Su Yi probably would not embarrass Cen Qingke too badly, right?

Although Bian Lu had more or less repaid Cen Qingke in her previous life, in this lifetime, she still needed to ask Cen Qingke for help. She hoped things would not become too stiff.

Bian Lu waited in the car, restless and uneasy.

Su Yi had already gotten out of the elevator and was standing at Cen Qingke’s door.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

After several rings of the doorbell, the door finally opened.
