Exclusive Possession

As society progresses, it's no longer uncommon for two girls to be intimate and create an ambiguous atmosphere. But when intimacy becomes excessive, even close friends can hardly avoid the judgment of the world.
Looking at Chi Qing and Bai Lin's intimacy, one didn't need to see their eyes; just by this intimate posture, anyone would form vague conjectures. Lu Wei Lai knew that Chi Qing had a reason for everything she did.
But she still felt strange, as if the room was a world exclusively for Chi Qing and Bai Lin, where others, even the air, had no place. This form of cohabitation didn't resemble mother-daughter affection, but rather... the affection between two lovers?
As soon as this idea arose in her mind, Lu Wei Lai immediately dismissed it herself. Perhaps she had been too tired lately, and prone to delusions, which led her to such a crazy thought. However, Lu Wei Lai truly hoped that Chi Qing and Bai Lin could live in harmony.
As for Bai Lin, she naturally had no idea of Lu Wei Lai's inner turmoil. All her attention was focused on Chi Qing, with no mind left for anyone else. The air around her was filled with the other's scent, a blend of floral fragrance and disinfectant. Looking into Chi Qing's profound dark eyes, with just one glance, Bai Lin felt her body go limp, as if she could collapse at any moment.
An unprecedented focused gaze, face to face with her, their breaths so close they seemed to merge. In the past, this person's eyes had only held contempt, disgust, and disdain for her, but now those eyes carried a hint of assessment, a touch of tenderness and sorrow.
Bai Lin truly liked the feeling of being gazed at so intently by Chi Qing, because only at this moment did she feel that she belonged solely to Chi Qing.
Closer and closer, the temperature rose, the atmosphere grew tenser. As Chi Qing drew nearer, Bai Lin's heartbeat quickened, as if it wanted to leap out of her chest. Their noses were less than a centimeter apart; another slight movement and their lips would touch.
Bai Lin hadn't expected Chi Qing to kiss her in the hospital, in front of Lu Wei Lai. She had fantasized about a kiss between them countless times but had never dared to hope it could become a reality.
Now, seeing Chi Qing continue to approach her, even if she didn't know what she intended to do, Bai Lin would happily accept it, without any resistance or repulsion.
"Wash off your makeup, let's go back."
Just as their lips seemed about to touch, Chi Qing tilted her head and whispered to Bai Lin. So she didn't notice that when the other tilted her head, a flicker of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"Okay."
After hearing Chi Qing, Bai Lin didn't ask for the reason, nor did she resist, obediently going into the bathroom. Looking at that slender figure, Chi Qing sat by the bed, staring blankly at the floor, trying to calm her heartbeat.
Chi Qing realized that it wasn't the first time; ever since she found Bai Lin and brought her back, she had become stranger and stranger. There was once ruthlessness and disgust, but unknowingly, those feelings had quietly transformed into care and possessiveness.
Yes, only these two words could describe her feelings for Bai Lin at this moment. She also understood very clearly that these two words were not suitable for mother-daughter affection.
She liked to see Bai Lin silent, yet hoped she would treat her differently.
She always hoped Bai Lin would always be by her side, absolutely obedient to her, but also hoped that the thought of not leaving would come from Bai Lin's heart.
Ever since meeting Boss, she had always cared about Bai Lin, not wanting her to be hurt, but due to internal conflict, she repeatedly did things that hurt Bai Lin.
After last night's accident, Chi Qing felt her feelings for Bai Lin became even more complex. Just like earlier, when she wanted Bai Lin to remove her makeup, it wasn't because it was too ugly, but because she was too beautiful, making her want to be the only one to see it, not wanting to share this beauty with anyone.
But was this the thought of a mother? Chi Qing didn't know, nor did she want to know.
She only knew that she now had strange thoughts about Bai Lin, a kind of desire that shouldn't exist. If she hadn't avoided it in time, what would have happened?
Would she have kissed Bai Lin?
A kiss between lovers?
Such a thought made Chi Qing break out in a cold sweat. What frightened her wasn't the thought itself, but that... she wanted to taste that desire.
Knowing a mistake and not correcting it is the most terrifying thing!
"Big Sister, why don't you go back and rest? I can stay here and take care of Zeng Ke Hen, you..."
"It's alright, you taking care of her is good enough."
Having lived with Lu Wei Lai for ten years, Chi Qing naturally understood her thoughts; she probably still couldn't let go of her past feelings for Zeng Ke Hen. After all, her own injuries weren't a hindrance, so let the real patient be cared for by the real doctor, especially since Chi Qing had Bai Lin by her side to care for her.
"I'm done."
After Chi Qing finished talking with Lu Wei Lai, Bai Lin came out. Although she had mentally prepared herself, when she saw Bai Lin's condition, Chi Qing's expression darkened. She had known that Bai Lin wouldn't put on makeup for no reason; her attitude today was very unusual, surely wanting to hide something.
Chi Qing wanted to bring Bai Lin in front of a mirror to show her her current ghost-like, haggard appearance. With such a pale face and dark circles under her eyes, she wanted to take care of others. In the hospital, just picking any random person would be much healthier than her.
"Wei Lai, we'll go first."
Chi Qing finished speaking, not even glancing at Bai Lin, put on her coat, and left the patient room, not bothering to change her clothes. Watching her leave, Bai Lin asked a few questions about Chi Qing's condition that needed attention, then quickly followed.
When Bai Lin reached the hospital entrance, Chi Qing was already sitting calmly in the car, eyes closed, resting.
"Sorry, I made you wait."
After all, Bai Lin was a polite person. Even though she was only a few steps behind the other, the first thing she did when she got in the car was to explain herself.
Her answer was not cold words, but a gentle hug.
Her shoulder was embraced by the other, and she immediately fell into that person's arms, her nostrils filled with fragrance. Bai Lin was startled, looking at Chi Qing's still closed eyes, but she knew the other person definitely knew she was looking at them.
"It's a long way to the villa from here, you rest a bit, to avoid scaring others."
Although not intimate words, Bai Lin heard a deeper meaning in them. She just hummed "hmm," then extended both hands and fully embraced Chi Qing's waist. This was a normal family gesture, but because it happened between Bai Lin and Chi Qing, it felt like a scene rarely seen in a thousand years.
Like the previous hug, this time Bai Lin also spent a lot of time preparing mentally, and imagined countless outcomes, so her movements became even more cautious, not even daring to touch Chi Qing strongly throughout the process.
Because she was too focused and didn't dare to look up, Bai Lin didn't notice that when Chi Qing hugged her, she had opened her eyes and was gazing intently at her. Her dark pupils carried a hint of tenderness, and a never-before-seen smile.
A warm atmosphere filled the car. Bai Lin's body had already reached its limit of strength, and now, embraced by Chi Qing, she quickly fell into a sweet dream. Chi Qing waved her hand, signaling the driver to slow down, so the driver didn't speed up, but let the car move slowly on the road.
Along the way, looking at Bai Lin's sleeping face, which still showed signs of fatigue, Chi Qing couldn't help but frown. This child was not old, yet she carried many burdens that she shouldn't at this age. Her haggard appearance, wounds all over her body, all were caused by herself.
Now, feeling such remorse, she wondered if Bai Lin could forget those things, could happily live with her. Even if Bai Lin couldn't forget how she had once mistreated her, Chi Qing decided she would never let go.
Thinking this, she gently stroked Bai Lin's head, her hand sliding down her long, smooth black hair, then touching her back. It was just a simple touch, but it made Chi Qing feel uncomfortable in her heart. Her body was too slender, her thin back had no flesh, only coldness could be felt. So Chi Qing took off her coat and draped it over Bai Lin.
As if sensing Chi Qing's body temperature, Bai Lin instinctively snuggled, the corner of her lips curving slightly. This was the first time in her 22 years of life that she showed such a peaceful and joyful expression. This was simply because of Chi Qing's hug.
No matter how slow the car drove, it had to arrive. Thanks to Chi Qing's hug, Bai Lin slept extremely well. Although she slept for less than an hour, she felt her physical strength recover significantly, and even the vision in her left eye recovered a lot. Seeing Chi Qing standing at the door of the house waiting for her, Bai Lin smoothed her hair and quickly followed.
"You go prepare a bit, I'll shower first."
Chi Qing left these words, then headed towards her room. Seeing her hurried, almost fiery appearance, Bai Lin knew her obsession with cleanliness had returned.
Waiting in the suburbs all night, sweating and bleeding like that, it would be strange if Chi Qing wasn't eager to shower.
Without thinking much, Bai Lin changed her slippers and followed. She remembered Lu Wei Lai once saying that the first thing Chi Qing did when she came home was shower. So she absolutely had to stop her, because Chi Qing's left and right hands were both injured and couldn't get wet.
Her heart filled with urgency, and also due to her excessive concern for Chi Qing, Bai Lin flew to Chi Qing's room, not even bothering to knock, and burst directly in. But she hadn't expected to see this situation.
At this moment, Chi Qing had already taken off her hospital uniform and thrown it into the trash can. Her entire body was clad only in a bra...
