The Naive Maiden

Evasion

Chapter 17

Evasion

The midday sun brought a few rays of warmth to the face of a certain person sitting on a swing in the quiet garden. Suddenly, a strong fragrance appeared. Although it wasn't pungent, she originally didn't like perfumes with strong scents, so Chi Qing opened her eyes, only to see Su Aoning already standing beside her for a long time, looking at her with a smile.

“What are you thinking about?”

Seeing Chi Qing only raise her head to glance at her and then turn away, Su Aoning asked with a smile, reaching out to gently caress her face.

Although both of them were of the same age and no longer young, Su Aoning found that Chi Qing's face compared to hers was a world of difference.

Women were born more fragile than men, and naturally needed to be protected like treasures. As time passed, their beauty would also age because of this, and finally, when their looks were stripped away by time, they would never return. It could be said that women were born beautiful and charming, but maintaining it required a lot of effort and money.

Su Aoning had always taken good care of herself, and her figure was also very beautiful, tall and well-proportioned, very elegant. If she walked on the street, no one could guess her true age. However, she knew in her heart that no matter how she maintained herself, her age could not be changed.

Despite using many cosmetics and maintenance products, as soon as she removed her makeup, a glance could reveal wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But compared to herself, the thirty-seven-year-old Chi Qing did not have this problem. She was like a treasure bestowed by God, crystallized through many special processes.

At this moment, Chi Qing's face was thus exposed under the sun, her skin still fair and flawless. Her forehead was smooth and clean, without any trace of time. Her face was as smooth as a peeled hard-boiled egg, and touching it could feel the softness that made people love it and not want to let go.

Not only that, the corners of her eyes were delicate without any wrinkles, as smooth as skin, and her lips were as fresh as if she had applied makeup.

This was Su Aoning's evaluation without any jealousy. Chi Qing's face at this time was almost unchanged compared to when she first met her ten years ago. She was still herself; even though she didn't like to take care of her appearance, that youthfulness had not faded at all, but seemed to freeze with time.

If she said she wasn't jealous of Chi Qing, she would be lying.

“I was thinking why you haven't left yet.”

Although only Su Aoning and herself were here, Chi Qing's attitude toward her was still as distant as before, and her language even became cold.

“Ah… Little Qingqing, are you mistaken? This place is my house, and you are currently staying at my house. If you don't offer your body in return, at least you should restrain that proud temper of yours a bit, shouldn't you?”

Hearing Chi Qing's words, Su Aoning replied with dissatisfaction, the smile on her face growing even more radiant.

Her hand caressed Chi Qing's shoulder, then moved to the other party's slender neck. Feeling like touching the soft skin of a newborn baby, Su Aoning realized she liked this feeling a bit and was reluctant to let go.

“Chi Qing, if you still don't let go, I will leave immediately.”

Her body being caressed by Su Aoning was a source of dissatisfaction for someone who didn't like contact with others like Chi Qing. She moved her body to avoid Su Aoning's annoying hand, her cold eyes flashing with a few traces of impatience.

“Chi Qing, no need to avoid the topic, I want you to tell me the truth.”

Su Aoning squatted down, holding the swing tightly with both hands, looking directly at Chi Qing. Currently, Chi Qing was like a small cat sitting on the swing, Su Aoning's body leaning close, her small shoulders revealing her collarbones, her slender waist, and her long legs stretched out. Every movement seemed to want to seduce others, extremely alluring.

The sun shone on Chi Qing, and on her long black hair. Su Aoning had also seen many people who loved black, but Chi Qing was the only one she knew who wore only black all day long but still had perfect charm, able to control others.

Chi Qing was born with color blindness but didn't like to wear glasses, which was why her pure black pupils became a rare gray. She was also not a woman who liked to groom her hair, so all year round, ten years as one day, she maintained her straight long black hair. Therefore, every touch made people feel that her hair was as soft as top-grade silk.

At this time, a gentle breeze blew, making the black hair flutter in the air. Next was a faint scent of flowers and grass on Chi Qing's body. Su Aoning didn't know what scent Chi Qing carried, but when she smelled it, she only had one thought, which was to “eat” the woman in front of her alive, savoring every inch of her skin, fully appreciating her beauty when she was aroused.

“What else do you want me to say? I only want you to leave. Isn't that enough?”

Facing Su Aoning for a long time, Chi Qing only now withdrew her gaze. She suddenly felt that coming to this place was not a good idea. At least if she were at home, she wouldn't need to be disturbed by Su Aoning every day.

“Chi Qing, perhaps you don't understand yourself. Every time you lie or feel anxious, you instinctively roll your eyes twice. I just asked what you were thinking, and you had that expression. This has said everything, you don't need to admit it. Or rather, the problem in your head is just something you don't want to say.”

“My business has nothing to do with you.”

Saying that, Chi Qing stood up from the swing, turning to return to her room. At this moment, her hand was roughly grabbed by Su Aoning, and then before her eyes seemed to change rapidly, until she recovered her senses, her body had been pinned down by Su Aoning on the grass, unable to move.

“Hey, do you know? Every time I see your pure and passionless appearance, I only want to place you beneath me like this, disregarding everything to trample you. Before, when you were with my older sister, didn't she also do this to you?”

The wind blew, making the grass sway. Chi Qing silently looked at Su Aoning who was still on top of her. She wasn't angry, didn't resist, and didn't answer. In a flash, she had been here for a month. This villa was also a property that Su Aoran had bought during her lifetime, located in a remote area, separated from the town. Not many people passed by, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

Chi Qing remembered that in the past, whenever they were free, she and Su Aoran would “fight battles” in here. Here, they didn't need to hide their identities, nor did they need to care about the eyes of others. They could release their desires, such as shouting loudly, acting wildly, and making love regardless of day or night.

Chi Qing liked silence, and also liked places with light, because light made her feel warm, helping her dispel the darkness.

She liked wearing black clothes the most, holding a book to read on the swing to kill time. She hadn't found such a simple life for a long time. After Su Aoran passed away, she didn't return here. After all, this place had now become Su Aoning's property, and Chi Qing didn't think she would return here to look at the scenery and remember the past.

And now ten years had passed, and she returned here to remember the past. The swing still hung quietly in the garden. Because of the years, it had become loose, emitting a harsh sound every time it swayed, yet Chi Qing still liked this sound very much, because the backrest of the seat was personally made for her by Su Aoran.

As for why she had to return here, Chi Qing of course knew the reason better than anyone. Su Aoning and Su Aoran were the same, able to see through people's hearts. She was right, she had something on her mind, but she couldn't share this secret with anyone.

Mother and daughter, was the most sacred relationship in the world. Yet because of her actions that night, it became filthy, wicked, and unacceptable. Until now, Chi Qing still remembered her actions with Bai Lin that day. That image repeated in her head every day, never stopping.

Chi Qing didn't know where her problem lay to produce this thought toward Bai Lin, nor did she understand why Bai Lin liked her when she was her mother. As a woman, the experience she had just gone through made Chi Qing's psychology unstable. As Bai Lin's mother, she had no experience at all, as helpless as a child.

That day, running out of Bai Lin's room, Chi Qing hid in her room smoking, staring blankly, and when she recovered her senses, she found it was already morning. Thinking that Bai Lin was still running a high fever, Chi Qing didn't think much more, even forgetting the shameful thing she had just experienced in an instant. She rushed to Bai Lin's room, standing beside the bed quietly looking at the other party's pale face.

Because of running a high fever all night, Bai Lin's body reaction was no longer like a normal person. Touching her hot forehead, the heat was like lava, and her face was as pale as a statue. Chi Qing didn't know medicine, and didn't know the severity of Bai Lin's illness. She could only quickly change her clothes, hugging her to drive to the hospital for Lu Weilai to perform treatment.

Seeing the other party being pushed into the emergency room, and hearing Lu Weilai say that the old ailment in her left eye had flared up again for a long time, Chi Qing's mind became chaotic and complex, just like tangled yarn, unable to untangle no matter how she tried.

She understood Bai Lin very well, and understood what this person was thinking in her heart. This child was always so forbearing, no matter how uncomfortable her body was, she wouldn't tell anyone, only enduring it alone. Thinking of Bai Lin in the bathroom, willing to let herself be injured to protect her, Chi Qing frowned, reaching out to gently caress Bai Lin's face.

And the other party at this time also unconsciously used her cheeks to rub against Chi Qing's hand. This feeling was just like when Bai Lin was newly born, and also reminded Chi Qing that this person was Bai Lin, who shared a blood relationship with her. That thought appeared in an instant, and Chi Qing hurriedly withdrew her hand, finally deciding to avoid the other party.

She knew she couldn't continue to sink like this, because doing so would not only harm Bai Lin but also harm herself. For the first time in her life, Chi Qing chose evasion. She asked Su Aoning to take her away, choosing to stay at Su Aoning's house with the hope of finding the answer to her problem here.

“You can try.”

After a long time, Chi Qing said a sentence. Because the time interval was too long, Su Aoning had almost forgotten what she had said before, but the other party answered as if replying to a question. Searching her memory, and then looking at the face of the person opposite, Su Aoning turned from puzzled to shocked.

She had just said she wanted to place Chi Qing beneath her to trample her, and the other party at this moment actually answered she could try. A short sentence, but the answer was very clear. Su Aoning frowned, looking at the person pinned beneath her, her face unchanged. Without thinking, she leaned down to kiss Chi Qing's lips.

Chi Qing also knew she was no longer an innocent young girl. Her parents and younger sister had died miserably at the hands of Bai Jun, and even Su Aoran had left her. Her heart had died with them since then, so how could she open her heart to anyone else.

Until she knew Su Aoning existed, she had mistaken this person for Su Aoran. Until the day the person she loved truly left, she could distinguish clearly. That Su Aoran and Su Aoning, although twins, from appearance, figure to even every small movement were exactly the same, but no matter how similar their appearance was, their bodies still contained two completely different souls.

Su Aoran made people feel very comfortable, Chi Qing couldn't find any fault in her, let alone deny that she also liked the feeling of being with Su Aoran. It was a feeling of comfort, pleasure, and freedom. Su Aoran was her savior, rescuing her from Bai Jun's imprisonment, giving her the chance to be reborn. But unfortunately, she lost her life because of her.

Chi Qing knew she could never forget Su Aoran, could never forget that figure. To her, Su Aoran had long been not simply a lover, but Chi Qing had regarded her as a relative, a part of her body, or in other words, the two of them were a unified whole.

Su Aoran liked to smile, and every time she smiled, she looked a bit foolish but full of charm. Su Aoran also liked to sleep, every morning lying in bed waiting for her to wake her up. Su Aoran liked to study vegetarian dishes to cook for her. Whichever dish failed and was hard to eat, she would eat it herself, leaving the delicious dishes for her. Su Aoran also liked to play with her; seeing her all day made her happy and pleased.

She liked to spend her birthday with her every year, liked to personally make things for her. She liked even more to act stingy with her birthday to use it as a reason to make her angry so she would punish her. Because she said her appearance at that time made her feel very happy, although she couldn't bear to make her angry either.

Since Su Aoran passed away, Su Aoning also frequently appeared. She imitated every move of Su Aoran to pursue her, hoping that doing so would make her miserable. But Chi Qing would not show weakness because of Su Aoning.

No matter how Su Aoning copied Su Aoran, she couldn't have a single bit of the essence like her sister, just looking at her eyes felt different.

Feeling Su Aoning using her tongue to invade and run wild in her mouth, Chi Qing didn't react or resist, refusing to return the kiss. Su Aoning's wicked hands had been placed on her chest and the area between her legs, yet Chi Qing still had no reaction.

Following that, the zipper of her leather jacket was pulled down. At this time, Chi Qing was only wearing a single layer of clothing and black underwear. The thin fabric was immediately removed. Looking at the other party's urgent appearance, Chi Qing closed her eyes, thinking of Bai Lin who had something to say every time she saw her but refused to open her mouth.

It seemed everyone was different. If everyone were as silent as Bai Lin, yet forbearing and kind, wouldn't the whole world easily become mute and deaf? Chi Qing didn't know why she thought of Bai Lin at this time instead of Su Aoran.

Her breasts were kneaded by Su Aoning, and her black pants were also pulled past her knees by the other party. Chi Qing suddenly felt her current behavior was ridiculous and shameful. She was actually using Su Aoning to test her feelings for Bai Lin; if she were called foolish, she deserved it.

At this point, Chi Qing didn't hesitate to use force to push away Su Aoning's hand which wanted to go further. The other party was pushed away by her but didn't feel surprised. Instead, she stood up gracefully, reaching out to support her.

Chi Qing was not grateful for this either; she supported herself to stand up. Her injured hands had now recovered, and she was not a disabled person, so she would not give others the opportunity to help. Adjusting her clothes, Chi Qing turned to return to her room.

“Su Aoning, tomorrow come with me to visit Su Aoran...”
