After Being Bent by Reader

Ever since Murong Shi had dropped the bomb on Little Yan, Little Yan had begun looking at Xu Chuanchuan with veiled curiosity. Because of this, whenever Xu Chuanchuan returned from her dates these past few days and came across Little Yan in the living room, she would guiltily flee into her room.

Meanwhile, although Little Yan was incredibly curious about her cousin's relationship with Xu Chuanchuan, she never took the initiative to ask Xu Chuanchuan about it.

However, the situation was different today. When Xu Chuanchuan returned home after dinner and came across Little Yan in the living room, Little Yan had called out to her and asked, "Chuanchuan, are you going to take a shower?"

Xu Chuanchuan halted her footsteps. Then, she smiled and said, "No. I'll be making a trip to G City tomorrow, so I need to pack my bags first."

"You're going to G City?"

"Mhm."

"Wouldn't my cousin be bored during the weekend, then?"

When Little Yan asked this question, both Little Yan herself and Xu Chuanchuan were stunned.

Then, Xu Chuanchuan awkwardly turned her head away.

As for Little Yan, she pretended to be relaxed as she stuck a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. Then, after swallowing the unmelted ice cream, she carefully asked, "Chuanchuan, are you really in a relationship with my cousin?"

Xu Chuanchuan lowered her head. Then, in an embarrassed tone, she said, "Actually, we aren't officially dating yet. We're just…"

What are we exactly? Even after racking her brain for some time, Xu Chuanchuan failed to make up a suitable answer.

Putting on a complicated look, Little Yan stared at Xu Chuanchuan's face for a moment before saying, "You two have already kissed, yet you're still not officially dating?"

Xu Chuanchuan was instantly frightened by Little Yan's words. "H-H-How do you know that?"

Then, putting on an embarrassed look, Little Yan stared at Xu Chuanchuan's lips for a moment before quietly saying, "I didn't see any changes in you when you came home during the past few nights. Today, though, you've obviously kissed since even your lips are chapped."

Xu Chuanchuan subconsciously touched the wound on her lower lip, unsure of whether she should laugh or cry in this situation. Then, with a blush on her face, she said, "That's because I accidentally bit it during dinner."

"Is that really the case?" Little Yan asked, blinking her eyes innocently.

After those pure and innocent eyes stared at her for a moment, Xu Chuanchuan awkwardly turned her head away.

In reality, Xu Chuanchuan wasn't lying. She had indeed accidentally bitten her lip. When it happened, Murong Shi had even laughed at her and said, "Thankfully, you showed mercy the first two times. Otherwise, it would be a pain to get bitten by you."

However, what Xu Chuanchuan didn't mention was that after she had bitten herself, Murong Shi had taken advantage of the situation to…

While Xu Chuanchuan recalled the events that had happened at dinner, Little Yan mumbled to herself, "I never thought my cousin would like women."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Chuanchuan thought to herself, I never expected it, either.

Subsequently, Little Yan asked another question that frightened Xu Chuanchuan. "Chuanchuan, how does it feel like to kiss another woman?"

Why must we discuss such a topic? Then, with a sense of embarrassment and helplessness on her face, Xu Chuanchuan vaguely said, "Actually…it doesn't feel like anything."

As if having discovered something amazing, Little Yan's eyes glowed with excitement when she heard Xu Chuanchuan's words. Then, she excitedly said, "Doesn't that just mean my cousin's kissing skills are terrible? I can use this to mock her in the future!"

"Don't! You mustn't tell her that!" Xu Chuanchuan said, her face turning pale white.

Then, Little Yan giggled and said, "I'm joking. This is a matter between the two of you. Rest assured, I won't tell anyone about this."

Up till this point, Xu Chuanchuan had felt that apart from height, Murong Shi and Little Yan didn't have much in common despite being cousins. However, the way Little Yan had just toyed with her resembled Murong Shi very much, and she couldn't help but feel as if a certain someone had led Little Yan astray.

When Xu Chuanchuan went to wash her face, she hissed in pain when she inadvertently got some water onto the wound on her lower lip. Then, looking at herself in the mirror, she found that despite the wound on her lip being tiny, that portion of her lip had swelled up much more than it should have.

This was all Murong Shi's fault. When Murong Shi had insisted that she would help stop the bleeding, Xu Chuanchuan thought the other party would bring her some medicine. Yet, Murong Shi had ended up dragging her into the restroom, lifted her head, and sucked out the blood…

In the end, the two of them couldn't help themselves and ended up spending several minutes in the restroom before returning to their seats.

When they returned to their seats, a certain someone had even righteously said, "Saliva can help reduce inflammation."

With her face as red as a tomato, Xu Chuanchuan said, "I can use my own saliva for that!"

Then, seeing Xu Chuanchuan flying into a rage, Murong Shi sighed and said, "You clearly like it, so why do you always make it seem as if I'm forcing you to do it?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Such a small wound should heal up in no time at all. However, when Xu Chuanchuan thought about how she would be meeting Ange in person tomorrow, she worried this wound would ruin the impression of their first meeting.

Hence, after coming out of the bathroom, Xu Chuanchuan contacted Ange as a precaution.

Xu Chuanchuan: "I bit and wounded my lip today. You better not laugh at me tomorrow."

Ange: "Did you really bite yourself? Or did a certain someone do it?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "...Myself! Stop having dirty thoughts!"

In response, Ange replied with a lecherous smiley emoticon.

Before Xu Chuanchuan went to bed, she received a WeChat message from Murong Shi, asking, "Do you need me to drop you off tomorrow?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "No need for that. I can catch a taxi to the train station."

Murong Shi: "Take care of your safety."

Xu Chuanchuan: "Thank you."

Murong Shi: "Make sure to protect yourself well and don't let others take advantage of you."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..." She didn't even need to ask to know that Murong Shi was referring to Ange.

Afterward, Xu Chuanchuan took a screenshot of the conversation and sent it to Ange, saying: "A certain someone has already started treating you as an imaginary love rival."

In response, Ange coolly said: "It's not imaginary. I am her love rival. Tell her that I'm here this time precisely to steal you away. [Light a cigarette]"

Xu Chuanchuan: "Stop fooling around…"

Ange would be flying to G City tomorrow. To make it easier for them to meet up, they decided to set their meeting venue to be at the hotel where they would be staying for the weekend. Ange was the one responsible for making the hotel reservation. And as the train ride from S City to G City would only take an hour, Xu Chuanchuan could afford to set out later.

Meanwhile, as this would only be a two-day trip, Xu Chuanchuan planned to only bring a small suitcase with her.

When Xu Chuanchuan was ready to leave the following day, Little Yan was still asleep, so she made sure to be quiet when she left. When she arrived downstairs, she was stunned when she found a familiar car parked by the entrance.

The car's window rolled down, revealing Murong Shi's face. Then, Murong Shi said, "Get on."

Xu Chuanchuan obediently put her luggage into the trunk and got into the passenger seat. Then, she looked at Murong Shi's beautiful profile and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I just dropped Aunt Lian off at the market. Since the company is close by, I decided to come over," Murong Shi lazily said.

Although Murong Shi had provided a reasonable answer, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but have the feeling that Murong Shi had deliberately driven to the company just to send her off.

Suddenly, Xu Chuanchuan felt a warm sensation spreading her. She also felt as if her heart was about to melt. Although she realized that she was falling deeper and deeper down this rabbit hole, she couldn't tell whether this was a good or bad thing.

Xu Chuanchuan still couldn't get used to the fact that Murong Shi was so nice to her. She even panicked a little in this situation. She was afraid that all this was fake and that everything would disappear just as quickly as it appeared.

The drive from the company to the train station lasted only ten minutes, so Xu Chuanchuan didn't have time to think about so many complicated matters.

The train station was crowded with people, so Xu Chuanchuan couldn't spend too much time chatting with Murong Shi unless she wanted to miss her train. After exchanging a few words, it was finally time to part ways.

"Bye-bye."

"Hold on a minute," Murong Shi said as she extended a hand to touch Xu Chuanchuan's face.

Xu Chuanchuan's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but grow flustered when she thought Murong Shi was trying to do something embarrassing in front of so many people. However, Murong Shi quickly retracted her hand and looked at the greasy powder stuck to the finger. Then, she said, "Your makeup is coming off."

Xu Chuanchuan's face heated up at this statement. Then, she said, "It's been a while since I've used makeup. The BB cream I used is something my little sister left behind. Its quality might not be very good."

"What time is your train?"

"Ten."

"There's still plenty of time, then," Murong Shi said after taking a look at her phone. Then, she dragged Xu Chuanchuan back into the car.

While looking at Murong Shi rummaging for something in her handbag, Xu Chuanchuan asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"I'll do a touch-up for you," Murong Shi said as she took out a set of high-end cosmetic products from her bag. Then, after carefully inspecting Xu Chuanchuan's face for several seconds, she grabbed a powder puff and said, "Close your eyes."

Xu Chuanchuan obediently closed her eyes.

Murong Shi's actions were gentle, but she moved with skill. First, she put on a layer of foundation for Xu Chuanchuan. Then, she followed it up with some rouge.

When Xu Chuanchuan saw Murong Shi pull out a sharp eyebrow trimmer, she hastily asked, "Is this necessary?"

After taking a look at Xu Chuanchuan's eyebrows, Murong Shi firmly said, "The eyes hold a person's spirit. If you want to put on makeup, you have to do it properly. Your eyebrows are too loose, so they need to be fixed."

"Then, be careful."

When Murong Shi saw the anxious look on Xu Chuanchuan's face, she couldn't help but chuckle a little. Then, she said, "What are you afraid of? I'm just giving your eyebrows a trim, not disfiguring you."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

"Besides, with how you look right now, there's no need to disfigure you."

"...That's too much."

Immediately afterward, Murong Shi used her free hand to hold Xu Chuanchuan's head in place. Then, putting on a stern look, she said, "Alright, stop making a fuss and close your eyes."

The air conditioner was running, and there was a beautiful woman doing makeup for her. There was nothing Xu Chuanchuan needed to do but relax.

Although Xu Chuanchuan couldn't see what Murong Shi was doing to her with her eyes shut, she didn't feel anxious when leaving everything to the other party. Even when Xu Chuanchuan felt Murong Shi's movements stopping, she dared not open her eyes without first receiving permission to do so. Afterward, she felt a gentle breeze blowing at her eyelids, causing her to feel a little itchy.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now," Murong Shi said.

When Xu Chuanchuan opened her eyes and saw Murong Shi's enlarged face in front of her, her heart trembled slightly.

They were incredibly close to each other right now, so close that so long as she moved her mouth a little, their lips would meet. When Xu Chuanchuan tried to move her body backward, she suddenly felt Murong Shi holding onto her waist, and she subconsciously stiffened her body.

Then, Murong Shi whispered, "Don't move. My hand shook a little just now, so your left eyebrow looks a little broken."

"Broken?!" Xu Chuanchuan gasped.

Putting on a mischievous smile, Murong Shi raised an eyebrow pencil and nonchalantly said, "Don't be afraid. Even if you don't have eyebrows, I can still make you look beautiful."

Xu Chuanchuan still felt uneasy, so she said, "Give me the mirror."

"I'll give it to you when I'm done with your makeup."

Putting on a sobbing face, Xu Chuanchuan asked, "Did you really ruin my eyebrow?"

Then, Murong Shi gave Xu Chuanchuan a gentle pat on the face and said, "How can you be so gullible? Who would I go to if I end up making you ugly?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

After finishing the eyebrows, Murong Shi went on to apply some eyeshadow and mascara for Xu Chuanchuan.

"I'm done. Here, take a look."
