Chapter 27: Regaining Trust
Long Qinxin held Lu Zhiyin as she quietly embraced her, then withdrew from the girl’s body after a long time.
She closed her eyes, feeling a heart full of happiness at this moment.
“…”
Lu Zhiyin’s mood was somewhat complicated; her body was still limp, and she was mentally exhausted.
Lying quietly beneath Long Qinxin, Lu Zhiyin reached out and touched Long Qinxin’s face.
Long Qinxin nuzzled against Lu Zhiyin’s fingers obediently, having let go of her remaining few reservations towards Lu Zhiyin after experiencing a shameful sexual encounter.
Love and sex were inseparable; love needed to be nurtured by sex, perhaps this was something ingrained at the genetic level?
Pure love might exist, but it mostly didn’t last long.
“…I’m a bit tired…”
Lu Zhiyin simply complained in a soft voice, and the already content Long Qinxin moved her body off, no longer pressing down on Lu Zhiyin.
“I’ll go find some food for Zhiyin. You haven’t eaten all day, you must be starving.”
Her tone was softer than it had been for a long time as Long Qinxin left the bedroom.
After she left, Lu Zhiyin slowly rolled over and grabbed the blanket beside her, covering her body.
Even though it was just through the back door, she still felt a bit too dirty.
She sat on the bed for a long time until Long Qinxin helped her put on a new set of pajamas and brought her back to the living room, did Lu Zhiyin start to feel more energetic again.
She thought, it really didn’t matter, after all, her virginity was still intact, wasn’t it? What was there to complain about.
Looking up at the coffee table in front of her, the dishes Long Qinxin had eaten earlier had been cleared away. Long Qinxin had only prepared a bowl of hot meat porridge and fried two beautiful soft-boiled eggs for her.
“Eat something.”
“Okay.”
Nodding, Lu Zhiyin began to eat. She was indeed almost starved, feeling discomfort in her stomach.
“By the way, will you still lock me up with chains later, Qinxin?”
Lu Zhiyin asked about the most important matter to her while eating.
“…No.”
Long Qinxin was silent for a moment before giving a negative reply.
She thought that since Lu Zhiyin had virtually given her body to her, she probably wouldn’t run away again.
Thinking this, Long Qinxin lowered her head, resting her head on Lu Zhiyin’s thigh.
She absently caressed Lu Zhiyin’s abdomen with some obsession.
Lu Zhiyin felt a bit self-conscious about the touch on her lower abdomen, but she didn’t dare to voice any objections, fearing that Long Qinxin would renege on her promise.
She ate obediently, and soon ate the two eggs and more than half a bowl of porridge.
There were still a few spoonfuls of porridge left in the bowl. Lu Zhiyin really couldn’t eat anymore; her appetite had naturally decreased after being so hungry.
After finishing dinner, Lu Zhiyin gently touched Long Qinxin’s hair.
The girl’s black hair was soft and fluffy, and the quality was very good, much better than Lu Zhiyin’s current hair, at least.
“I’m really sorry about lying to you before…”
As she stroked Long Qinxin’s hair, she apologized softly again.
“It’s okay… I’m the one who should apologize. I could have not been so aggressive. Zhiyin, you don’t need to blame yourself for deceiving me anymore.”
Long Qinxin rubbed her face against her legs, as if she had truly forgiven Lu Zhiyin.
Lu Zhiyin fell into a brief silence. She glanced at the money on the sofa and began to consider whether she should offer to return the money for the dress Long Qinxin had given her earlier.
After a moment of thought, she abandoned the idea, feeling that it would become too troublesome if she actually brought up returning the money.
“Will classmate Qinxin still trust me in the future?”
Lu Zhiyin cautiously asked another rather risky question, her hand continuing to stroke Long Qinxin’s hair, as if soothing a dangerous large feline.
“Will Zhiyin still be willing to become one with me in the future?”
Perhaps pleased by the petting, Long Qinxin turned over, facing upwards, and looked at Lu Zhiyin’s face.
Her tone was a little lazy; Long Qinxin, having been satisfied, seemed exceptionally agreeable.
Or rather, as long as she wasn’t in her corrupted state, Long Qinxin had always been very agreeable.
“…I have no problem with that.”
Lu Zhiyin nodded. Since her first time through the back door was already gone, she wasn’t as shy anymore.
Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Long Qinxin’s lazy eyes became more spirited.
“What about other things? There are so many things I want to do with Zhiyin, so many ways I want to try with Zhiyin.”
Her eyes sparkled as Long Qinxin gazed at Lu Zhiyin’s eyes with a hint of longing.
“Anything is fine, as long as classmate Qinxin likes it.”
Lu Zhiyin blinked. This was not the first time she had said something similar.
Long Qinxin remained silent. She extended her hands, wrapped them around Lu Zhiyin’s neck, and kissed her.
After almost kissing Lu Zhiyin to the point of dizziness, Long Qinxin detangled herself from Lu Zhiyin.
She sat up and took Lu Zhiyin’s hand.
“I will trust you. After all, we are already married, aren’t we?”
Holding Lu Zhiyin’s hand, she raised their joined hands and carefully examined the back of Lu Zhiyin’s hand, feeling that something was missing.
After a while, she remembered it was the wedding ring.
“As long as Zhiyin doesn’t lie to me anymore in the future.”
While planning to go to the jewelry store tomorrow to pick out a satisfactory pair of wedding rings.
She wasn’t as afraid of Lu Zhiyin lying to her anymore. After marriage, she could do anything to Lu Zhiyin herself, and most of it would be classified as marital disputes. At worst, it would just be domestic violence. The city’s laws didn’t pay much attention to domestic violence, and she wouldn’t need to hide to keep Lu Zhiyin locked up at home.
She didn’t actually expect Lu Zhiyin to always be honest with her, especially since she herself hadn’t kept her promise.
She remembered that when she had asked Lu Zhiyin to start dating, she had promised not to bully Lu Zhiyin, a statement that now seemed ridiculous.
“Mhm.”
Lu Zhiyin didn’t know what Long Qinxin was thinking. She softly hummed and glanced at the money bag on the sofa and the apartment door with her peripheral vision.
She thought that she had somewhat regained Long Qinxin’s trust now. As long as Long Qinxin didn’t find out that she was going to bail Long Qinxin out of prison, everything would be fine.
“Oh, right… Where’s my phone? Can I have it back?”
She suddenly remembered her phone. She hadn’t seen the phone that Leng Qing Qiu bought her for several months.
To carry out her future plans, a phone was probably indispensable. Even with Long Qinxin’s trust, Lu Zhiyin couldn’t go out at any time. If she wanted to maintain stable contact with Qin An, she would mostly have to rely on her phone.
“…Hmm, yes, but it hasn’t been charged for over two months, I don’t know if it still works.”
After kidnapping Lu Zhiyin, Long Qinxin hadn’t destroyed Lu Zhiyin’s phone, she had just put it away.
Now that they were on good terms again, she thought it was time to return Lu Zhiyin’s belongings to her.
With that thought, Long Qinxin quickly found Lu Zhiyin’s phone and returned it to her.
