After Being Bent by Reader

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Xu Chuanchuan let out a long sigh and said, "Let's find a suitable time to tell her, then."

As to when would be a "suitable time," that was something Xu Chuanchuan couldn't say for certain.

After returning to the dormitory, Xu Chuanchuan immediately began writing her novel. As a result, she managed to complete her daily writing quota before the sun had even set and could enjoy her night as much as she wanted. And upon hearing about this, Murong Shi invited her out to watch a movie.

A recently released urban comedy had a strong lineup for its cast. Xu Chuanchuan also kept on seeing advertisements for this movie on Weibo. So, she had Murong Shi buy tickets for this movie.

However, when the movie started playing, everyone in the cinema was given a huge disappointment. Even after half an hour had gone by, not one laugh had been heard in the cinema. Xu Chuanchuan even started feeling sleepy because of the movie.

Then, Murong Shi leaned into Xu Chuanchuan's ear and said, "We'd be better off doing something more interesting in the dorm."

Murong Shi spoke in a soft and seductive voice. She even gave Xu Chuanchuan's sensitive ear a lick.

In response, Xu Chuanchuan's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Murong Shi with anticipation in her eyes.

Murong Shi lost her self-control after taking just one look into Xu Chuanchuan's eyes. Immediately, she dragged Xu Chuanchuan out of the cinema.

The two quickly got into the car and drove back to the company dormitory in a hurry.

They had worked up a sweat during their trip outside, so they chose to take a bath first. Of course, the two showered together to save time.

While in the shower, Murong Shi suddenly inserted a finger into Xu Chuanchuan and started gently scratching about. Murong Shi's actions caused Xu Chuanchuan to cry out repeatedly, and she even had to desperately hold onto her last trace of reasoning to remind Murong Shi that the floor was slippery.

"Not here…" Xu Chuanchuan pleaded, her arms tightly wrapped around Murong Shi's neck as her legs had already become as soft as noodles.

Xu Chuanchuan's period had just ended, so Murong Shi wanted to help clean her up a little. Finally, after a few more pokes, Murong Shi retracted her hand, lifted one of Xu Chuanchuan's legs, and sprayed Xu Chuanchuan's lower half with the showerhead.

Initially, Murong Shi had only intended on washing away the soap bubbles there. However, to her surprise, Xu Chuanchuan suddenly bit down on her shoulder and started convulsing.

"..." Murong Shi first looked at the showerhead in her hand. Then, she looked at the woman in her arms. Then, when she saw the look of euphoria on Xu Chuanchuan's face, she tightened her grip around Xu Chuanchuan's waist and enveloped the latter's lips with her own. After a moment, their lips separated, and Murong Shi vaguely said, "Why does it seem like you're becoming more and more sensitive?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

…

After the exercise session, Xu Chuanchuan's stomach started rumbling, so Murong Shi offered to cook her some noodles.

"Do you want some ham?" Murong Shi's voice came from the living room.

While lying limply on the bed, Xu Chuanchuan feebly responded, "Yes…"

Unsure if the person outside heard her, Xu Chuanchuan forced herself to sit up and grabbed her phone. When she looked at the time, though, she couldn't help but be surprised. Before she realized it, the time was nearly midnight already.

Taking a look at her WeChat, Xu Chuanchuan found that she had an unread message.

Xu Xiangxiang; "A tycoon suddenly visited my channel and gave me a lot of presents today!!! I'm rich!!! I'm so excited!!! [Image]"

The attached image was the income Xu Xiangxiang generated from her live stream. After taking a glance, Xu Chuanchuan found that her little sister had indeed made a significant sum of money.

Xu Chuanchuan: "Don't forget that you're still a student. Your main task is to study. You should put aside the live streaming matter for now."

Several seconds later…

Xu Xiangxiang: "I got it, I got it. Do you have to say the same thing twice a day? I'm only streaming because I have nothing to do on the weekend. It won't affect my studies."

Xu Chuanchuan didn't think that Xu Xiangxiang would still be awake at this time. After exchanging a few more messages with her little sister, she suddenly recalled the words Little Yan told her today, and she thought to herself, Now's my chance.

If they held this conversation through WeChat, both parties could avoid an awkward situation. However, Xu Chuanchuan quickly decided against doing so. Xu Xiangxiang was a person with a lot of words. She was also someone who liked digging into the roots of matters. There would be no end to her messages if they talked about this topic through WeChat.

After weighing her options, Xu Chuanchuan decided that it would be best to tell her little sister in person. Moreover, not only would she have to do it in person, but she would also have to find a secluded location that had nobody else around.

After making up her mind, Xu Chuanchuan deleted the words she typed out before and changed them to: "Are you free to come for a visit tomorrow?"

Xu Xiangxiang: "What's up?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "I have something very important to tell you."

Xu Xiangxiang: "Just say it now. I'm going to stream again tomorrow afternoon, so I don't have time to visit. Also, it's been insanely hot outside recently; I don't want to go outside."

Seeing that her little sister wasn't budging, Xu Chuanchuan decided to use her trump card: "I'll treat you to something good if you come over."

Xu Xiangxiang: "No thanks, I'm on a diet. I've gained some weight recently, so I'm starting to look worse on camera."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

When Murong Shi returned to the room with the cooked noodles sometime later, she came across Xu Chuanchuan sighing while massaging her temples. After asking about the reason, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You can't rush these things. Just let it happen naturally."

"I guess that's the only way."

Since Xu Xiangxiang refused to cooperate, Xu Chuanchuan decided to set aside the matter of coming out of the closet for now. In the end, half a month went by with nothing happening, and Xu Chuanchuan gradually forgot about this matter entirely.

…

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day were not linked together. During the Mid-Autumn Festival's three-day holiday, Xu Chuanchuan decided to visit her parents. She also refused Murong Shi's offer to send her. Instead, she met up with Xu Xiangxiang at the bus station and arrived home two hours later.

The renovation work for their new house was completed already, but it would still take some time before they could move in. To save up on money, their family did not repaint the previously corroded walls. So, there was still a layer of mold covering the affected walls, and they looked incredibly unpleasant.

Xu Xiangxiang put on a disgusted expression when she saw the moldy walls of her room. Then, she angrily said, "I'm going upstairs to give them a scolding."

Holding down her little sister, Xu Chuanchuan said, "They've compensated us for the damages already, so you best not mess around. Also, after the fight last time, our two houses have already formed a grudge against each other. What if you go upstairs and end up receiving a beating?"

Xu Xiangxiang was instantly discouraged.

Due to the narrow space, the two sisters' room could only fit a bunk bed instead of a double bed. Meanwhile, Xu Chuanchuan had always been the one to sleep on top while Xu Xiangxiang slept on the bottom. However, that arrangement looked unfeasible for today as the mold got worse the closer one got to the ceiling. Out of fear that the ceiling board would break off and hit her, Xu Chuanchuan had no choice but to squeeze with Xu Xiangxiang.

Now that more people were in the house, Xu Chuanchuan had to wait in line to use the bathroom. By the time she came out of the bathroom, it was already late at night. And upon returning to her room, she was greeted by the sight of Xu Xiangxiang looking at herself in the mirror.

"Someone called you just now but hung up after letting the phone ring only once."

After untying her ponytail, Xu Chuanchuan combed her hair fingers while saying, "It's probably an advertisement call."

"I don't think so." Putting down the handheld mirror, Xu Xiangxiang turned to her elder sister and asked, "Who's 'Big Jealous Bug?'"

So it was Murong. With a calm expression, Xu Chuanchuan said, "A colleague."

"Why would you give your colleague such a nickname?"

Xu Chuanchuan did not answer. Instead, she picked up her phone and unlocked it, finding that she had indeed missed a call. In addition, probably because Murong Shi assumed that she was with her family and couldn't pick up the phone, but Murong Shi had also sent her a message through WeChat immediately after the call. Immediately, Xu Chuanchuan opened up her WeChat to take a look at the message.

Murong Shi sent the message half an hour ago, asking: "What are you up to right now?"

After sitting down on a chair, Xu Chuanchuan replied: "I just came out of the bath. What about you?"

Murong Shi: "I was waiting for you. I miss you."

It was only a short message, but it moved Xu Chuanchuan's heart. Subconsciously smiling, Xu Chuanchuan replied: "I miss you, too. [Kiss]"

As soon as Xu Chuanchuan sent the message, she heard Xu Xiangxiang saying, "Sis, your smile looks wretched."

Xu Chuanchuan promptly retracted her smile. Then, she glared at her little sister and said, "You're the one who's wretched."

"Don't believe me? I even took a picture! That expression of yours looks so wretched and dumb!"

After saying so, Xu Xiangxiang forwarded the picture she just took to Xu Chuanchuan via WeChat. When Xu Chuanchuan saw the image, her lips twitched for a moment. Then, she glared daggers into Xu Xiangxiang as she demanded, "Delete it!"

"Too late. I just uploaded it to my Weibo."

Xu Chuanchuan didn't believe Xu Xiangxiang, but she still quickly logged into Weibo and visited Xu Xiangxiang's page. To her dismay, Xu Xiangxiang had indeed uploaded the previous image onto the internet.

Naturally, there was no way Xu Chuanchuan would tolerate this, so she promptly lunged on her little sister to snatch the latter's phone.

In response, Xu Xiangxiang weaved and dodged her elder sister's assault. Even after getting pinned down on the bed, she pinched and bit Xu Chuanchuan in retaliation, refusing to surrender her phone no matter what.

Eventually, Xu Chuanchuan decided to throw herself onto Xu Xiangxiang, crushing her little sister with her weight.

"Ahhh— It hurts— Get off me!"

"Hand over the phone first."

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll delete it! I'll delete it right away!"

Xu Chuanchuan sat up but still kept Xu Xiangxiang pinned down with her legs.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiangxiang quickly tapped away on her phone. A moment later, though, she suddenly smiled and said, "Little Yan saw it already. She even gave it a like."

Xu Chuanchuan grabbed onto Xu Xiangxiang's neck and shook her little sister in anger. Then, in a threatening tone, she said, "Hurry it up!"

"Okay, okay, okay! I deleted it! I deleted it!"

Only then did Xu Chuanchuan relent. However, when she tried to get off the bed, she found that she had accidentally kicked one of her slippers underneath the bed, so she bent down to pick it up. While doing so, she suddenly felt her pajamas getting tugged by a huge force.

"Heavens—" Xu Xiangxiang exclaimed as she stared into the unbuttoned collar of Xu Chuanchuan's pajamas.

Initially, Xu Chuanchuan wanted to burst into anger when she thought her little sister was taking liberties with her. However, when she looked down and saw the sight on her chest, her expression instantly changed.

After smacking Xu Xiangxiang's hands away, Xu Chuanchuan jumped off the bed in a panic. Then, she took a step back and hurriedly tidied up her clothing.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiangxiang still had her mouth agape, only snapping out of her daze after a long time had passed. Then, she pointed at Xu Chuanchuan and asked, "Why do you have so many h-h-hickeys???"

Xu Chuanchuan's face instantly turned bright red. Then, she held down her embarrassment and said, "You saw wrongly."

"How can I be mistaken? Those are clearly— Uu—"

Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly covered her little sister's mouth to prevent her from speaking any further. Then, she hurriedly said, "Don't disturb Mom and Dad."

However, Xu Xiangxiang continued speaking even with her mouth covered, shock coloring her eyes.

"I can let you go, but you need to make sure to speak softly."

Xu Xiangxiang repeatedly nodded.

Then, Xu Chuanchuan gradually loosened her hands.

After regaining freedom, Xu Xiangxiang didn't even bother catching her breath before she asked, "You got yourself a boyfriend??? You two even did that already???!!!"

The first question was still relatively normal, but the second one crossed the line a little. With a blush on her face, Xu Chuanchuan quickly went and locked the door. Then, after returning to the bed and collecting herself, she frankly said, "It's not a boyfriend. It's...a girlfriend."

"What...do you mean?" Xu Xiangxiang frowned, a confused expression appearing on her face.

It's now or never. After taking a deep breath, Xu Chuanchuan said, "Xiangxiang, I… I'm a lez. I don't like men."
