73: You are my birthday present

“Will you have birthday cake with me tonight?” Li Xuening’s gaze was fixed on Ye Xi.

“Where is it?” Ye Xi sniffed lightly, the sweet scent unique to Li Xuening wafting into her nostrils.

“At the hotel, is that okay?” Li Xuening asked tentatively, a strange panic in her heart.

Ye Xi didn’t answer such a shy question directly, only nodding shyly in response.

Time on the Ferris wheel passed quickly. After they got off, Ye Xi got into Li Xuening’s sports car and sped towards a nearby five-star hotel.

As night deepened, city lights twinkled outside the window. In the top-floor suite of the five-star hotel, a faint rose scent permeated the air.

“Even though only you are celebrating my birthday with me this year, this is my happiest year,” Li Xuening said, her face full of joy.

“Me too, super happy.”

At this moment, a waiter slowly approached, pushing an exquisite three-tiered birthday cake.

Candlelight flickered as the two looked at each other.

“Stop peeking at me, hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles.” Ye Xi secretly glanced at Li Xuening.

“Mm, okay.” Li Xuening clasped her hands, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish.

“Try it quickly.” Ye Xi cut a small piece of cake for Li Xuening and handed it to her.

“Can you feed me?” Li Xuening tightly held Ye Xi’s soft hand, their gazes meeting in the air as if electricity passed between them.

Seeing Li Xuening acting spoiled, Ye Xi’s heart bloomed. She used a small fork to pick up a tiny bit of cream and brought it to Li Xuening’s mouth.

Li Xuening shook her head and said, “I don’t eat this. I want the strawberry from the cake, and I want you to feed it to me with your mouth.”

After saying that, Li Xuening lowered her head in shame. Those words were too cheesy; she, as a girl, couldn’t handle it.

“Alright, but this is a one-time thing.” Ye Xi used the fork to pick up a strawberry, put it in her mouth, and then brought the strawberry, held by her lips, to Li Xuening’s mouth.

Li Xuening took the strawberry with her mouth, their red lips pressing tightly together, and her hands wrapped around Ye Xi’s slender waist.

After finishing the strawberry, Ye Xi tried to push Li Xuening away, only to find Li Xuening holding her tightly.

After a moment of kissing, Li Xuening noticed a trace of cream at the corner of Ye Xi’s mouth. She smiled slyly, then raised her hand again, approaching Ye Xi to wipe away the cream.

“I helped you, so you help me too, okay?” Li Xuening pointed to her own mouth, which was stained with cream.

While Li Xuening was in a daze, Ye Xi, caught her off guard, cupped her cheeks, raised her hand, and wiped it across Li Xuening’s red lips, then quickly pulled away.

So ticklish, Li Xuening subconsciously rubbed her cheek. Ye Xi’s hand was warm, and it actually felt a little comfortable.

At this moment, Li Xuening was already impatient to drink red wine. After drinking the red wine, she would be able to act drunk and express her feelings to the beautiful girl in front of her, doing whatever she wanted.

Of course, what she didn’t know was that the cunning beautiful girl in front of her had the exact same thoughts: to do whatever she wanted, to do whatever she wanted…

“Do you want to drink some red wine?” Li Xuening brushed a few strands of Ye Xi’s hair from her forehead, delicately playing with them.

“Let’s have a little.” Ye Xi nodded, naturally knowing what she was planning. She was also wondering if their relationship was developing too quickly.

“Let’s drink over there.” Li Xuening pointed to the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Arriving at the sofa, Li Xuening picked up the wine bottle and gently poured it into two stemmed glasses. The red liquid swirled in the glasses, emitting a rich aroma.

“Cheers!” Li Xuening handed a glass of wine to Ye Xi and picked up another for herself.

“Cheers.” Ye Xi smiled.

Their wine glasses clinked, and they each took a sip of red wine, looking at each other with tender eyes.

“The city’s night view is so beautiful. Why didn’t I notice it before?” Ye Xi exclaimed.

“I’m so happy to have you celebrate my birthday with me, truly.”

The two sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, outside of which was the city’s night view. The distant tall buildings were brightly lit, as if a galaxy was reflected on the ground.

Ye Xi pointed out the window and exclaimed, “There are fireworks too?”

Li Xuening took another sip of wine, looking in the direction Ye Xi pointed. A magnificent firework suddenly bloomed in the night sky, golden light raining down.

Immediately after, more fireworks soared into the sky, their colorful lights illuminating the entire night.

“It is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you.” Li Xuening’s cheeks were slightly flushed; she was already a little dizzy from the wine.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She was very happy to see that Ye Xi liked the fireworks she had arranged.

A moment later, Li Xuening’s intoxication deepened. She took a small sip of red wine, placed the glass aside, and looked at Ye Xi with eyes full of desire, her burning gaze like a big bad wolf staring at a little white rabbit.

Suddenly, Ye Xi, who was watching the fireworks, felt a hand wrap around her slender waist, and then another force acted upon her. Li Xuening scooped her up in a princess carry, lifting her off the ground.

“You…” Before Ye Xi could finish speaking, Li Xuening threw her onto the sofa.

The next second, Li Xuening’s entire body pressed down on Ye Xi, making it impossible for her to struggle.

Ye Xi felt a bit embarrassed in this position. How could she, a dignified half-man, be pinned underneath?

Thinking of this, Ye Xi struggled fiercely, trying to flip over and pin Li Xuening underneath her.

However, to her disappointment, no matter how much strength she used, she couldn’t break free.

Ye Xi was a little bewildered. If level 7 was the strength of a normal man and level 6 was the strength of a normal woman, her strength value was the maximum level 10.

Under normal circumstances, she should be the ceiling of this world, easily handling Li Xuening. Why was it like this?

Opening the system panel from her retina, Ye Xi was stunned the next second. How did her strength become level 5, even weaker than a normal woman, the kind that was delicate, weak, and easily pushed over?

Xiao Ai said in a retaliatory tone, “No need to thank me. Max-level strength is only effective against bad guys. Due to concerns that the host might do bad things, this system temporarily withdrew it.”

Ye Xi cursed, “But it can’t become level 5! You have no credibility. I maxed out my strength, and you can just take it back?”

Xiao Ai chuckled, “That’s just how the rules are. You should worry about your current situation. Actually, Li Xuening isn’t as proper as you think. Watching you get thoroughly ‘trained’ by her, I actually feel a little thrilled.”

“Do you know? I’ve waited for this moment for a long time. You don’t know how much I like you.” Li Xuening’s face was full of grievances, her slightly furrowed brows and the corners of her eyes making her look pitiful.

“What are you saying?” Ye Xi’s heart trembled. In the atmosphere, her body was almost melting into a puddle of spring mud.

She tried hard to control her inner desires, thinking that perhaps she should refuse Li Xuening’s intimacy this time, and then, after negotiating with the dog system to restore her strength, she would actively compensate her.

“Tell me, am I the one you like in your heart?” Li Xuening lowered her head and kissed Ye Xi’s forehead. The light shone down, making her face seem to be coated with a film of light.

Ye Xi looked at Li Xuening’s bright and beautiful face, even more bewildered. This script was a bit off. Shouldn’t she be confessing to me? Why am I being asked to confess to her instead?

“We’ve already gone that far, are you still going to be irresponsible towards me?”

Seeing no response from Ye Xi, Li Xuening’s eyes curved into a smile, and she lowered her head to kiss again.

Under the immense stimulation, Ye Xi felt every cell in her body boiling. Her body was uncontrollably wanting to reciprocate the kiss.

Ye Xi was kissed until her body went limp. Her brain spun rapidly, trying to think of something to say to make herself appear more elegant and less like a pervert.

The drunken Li Xuening raised her voice slightly and chuckled, “Baby, your mouth doesn’t want to admit it, but your body already has.”

“Do you know? I really disliked your green tea act before, and I dislike your current coy resistance even more.”

As soon as this sentence was uttered, Ye Xi felt as if everything had been seen through. She said in shame, “I like you, okay?”

Li Xuening shook her head and said, “That’s too perfunctory, not sincere enough.”

“I like you,” Ye Xi said softly, speaking from her heart.

“Your voice is too quiet.” Li Xuening shook her head again.

“I like you.” Ye Xi, helpless, raised her voice a little again. She had a feeling that she had become meat on a chopping block.

She used to feel omnipotent, like the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole lurked behind, but she never expected someone could prey on her. It could only be said that Li Xuening was too good at disguising herself, so good she even deceived Ye Xi.

“Good girl, that’s better. Your confession to me makes me very happy. From now on, you are my wife. Are you happy?” Li Xuening was as excited as a ruffled kitten.

“Happy.” Suppressed by Li Xuening’s aura step by step, Ye Xi spoke with even less confidence. She really wanted to tell Li Xuening, “I’m happy, my ass!”

Xiao Ai sensed Ye Xi’s thoughts and scoffed, “You’re lying. You are happy right now. I’m going to record this humiliating scene and watch it repeatedly.”

Ye Xi: “…”

Li Xuening pressed her hands on Ye Xi’s shoulders, lowered her head, and bit Ye Xi’s neck, uttering words full of seductive charm through her pearly teeth.

“Admit it, Little Xi sister, you liked me all along. I’ve held back for a long time, waiting until this special day. Tonight, I’m going to take you.”

After speaking, Li Xuening made a gesture as if she was about to enjoy a delicious meal.

Li Xuening still had a shred of rationality. She was also prepared that after tonight, she would apologize profusely tomorrow, blaming everything on the alcohol. In short, she would deny it to her dying breath.

Hearing that she wanted to take her, Ye Xi felt a touch of shame, and her little heart almost escaped.

“You’re too close to me. Let me breathe for a moment. Let’s talk properly.” Ye Xi pushed Li Xuening with her hand, trying to create distance between them.

“Close? I don’t think so. I actually think it’s a bit far, don’t you?” Li Xuening’s alluring voice made Ye Xi’s heart tremble even more.

After speaking, Li Xuening’s head lowered a little more. Their red lips were just a hair’s breadth from touching, the remaining distance only allowing for their breaths to mingle.

In this ambiguous position, if either of them spoke, the other’s warm breath would enter their mouth.

“I’m not very used to this.” Ye Xi turned her head, not wanting to meet Li Xuening’s gaze, but her face was gently turned back by Li Xuening.

“Do you know? The first time we met, after I went back, I fell in love with you. Although I knew your motives might not be pure, I still plunged in without hesitation.”

“From then on, missing you became a cycle. When I gradually tested you and found that you seemed to respond, I was truly so happy.”

Li Xuening’s warm breath was inhaled by Ye Xi, and her teasing voice made Ye Xi’s entire body tingle.

“Actually, the first time we met, I also fell in love with you. I was the love-at-first-sight type. Who made you so beautiful, perfectly matching my aesthetic?”

After a moment of thought, Ye Xi simply gave up struggling. So what if she was the submissive one? It seemed there was no escaping today.

“Shall we go to the bedroom to ‘communicate’?” Li Xuening’s smile was bright and innocent, not at all like someone about to do something naughty.

Of course, in Ye Xi’s eyes, all her previous actions were acts of hooliganism. If she weren’t so pretty, Ye Xi would never have indulged her.

Li Xuening got off Ye Xi and once again scooped her up in a princess carry.

Instantly, she felt a sense of guilt. How was her current behavior any different from those bad guys?

However, under the influence of alcohol, desire gradually triumphed over reason.

After throwing Ye Xi onto the large hotel bed, Li Xuening pounced on her, pinning her down again. Just as she was about to tear open Ye Xi’s clothes, her hands were tightly grasped by Ye Xi.

“Can you go take a shower?” There was a hint of pleading in Ye Xi’s eyes.

That’s right, she still decided to escape. With her body so weak now, who knew what state she would be left in? This caused a flicker of hesitation in her heart.

Li Xuening shook her head and said, “Little Xi sister, you forgot, I already showered before we had cake.”

Ye Xi was silent for a few seconds, then spoke, “Then can I take a shower?”

Li Xuening leaned down and sniffed her neck, then chuckled, “Little Xi sister doesn’t need to shower. You always smell fragrant. You don’t stink even without showering.”

Before Ye Xi could speak, Li Xuening chuckled again, “Don’t worry, I will definitely cherish you well.”

Ye Xi stared at Li Xuening, “Hey, hey, hey, what kind of suggestive words are those?”

Li Xuening checked the clock; it was already nine in the evening. Her birthday would end in three hours, and in those remaining three hours, she was determined to win over Ye Xi.

“Do you know? You are my best birthday present today. Now I’m going to unwrap the package!” Li Xuening said excitedly.

After saying that, Li Xuening began tearing at Ye Xi’s clothes, almost unbuttoning her shirt. Halfway through, what did she suddenly think of?

“Little Xi sister, when I tear your clothes, can you symbolically struggle a bit?”

Li Xuening also felt that this sentence, catering to her inner desires, was a bit shameful. After saying it, she turned her face away, not daring to look into Ye Xi’s eyes again.

Ye Xi was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted, wanting to curse her. “Are you a pervert? You actually have such a fetish?”

However, since it was her birthday today, Ye Xi still nodded and went along with her.

Oh well, oh well, it’s the person she likes anyway, and she wouldn’t really be at a disadvantage, Ye Xi comforted herself.

Li Xuening started tearing at Ye Xi’s clothes again. Ye Xi shyly said, “Don’t do this, don’t…”

“Struggle, the more you struggle, the more I like it…”
