Forbidden To Be Tempted

Everyone looked at them.

Qi Yan's expression was slightly frozen, as if she knew what she was going to say, she turned her head and glanced at Lu Zhiqiao, then nodded to the girl, "Okay."

The two walked to the corner of the front stairs one after the other.

Cheng Suran turned around and faced Qi Yan, looking into those clear and sharp eyes, she dodged subconsciously, feeling timid and uncomfortable.

This kind of uneasiness is her sensitive instinct, just like facing all the people who give her similar feelings like Qi Yan. It's like living in a dark corner for too long, suddenly losing her cover, and staring directly at the sun, completely at a loss what to do.

The first time she saw Qi Yan, she knew that she was the opposite of her, just like meeting her roommate Ding Yuan for the first time.

And now she also learned about the relationship between Qi Yan and Jiang Yu...

Cheng Suran looked at her with complicated thoughts. She was tall with a melon-shaped face and slightly raised eyes like peach petals. She is good-looking but not tacky, and the most special thing was that kind of relaxed and calm demeanor.

Obviously a child from a happy family.

Thinking of herself again, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart, and the little pride she had was gone."Sister Yanyan, I..."

"Is it about Jiang Yu?" Qi Yan asked straight to the point.

Cheng Suran was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head, her heart drumming a little.

She doesn't seem to have the position and qualifications to meddle in other people's affairs. She is a serious ex-girlfriend, while she is just a little lover, but she has the audacity to borrow the identity of the "current girlfriend" to deceive others, she starts to realize that she didn't know the immensity of heaven and the earth*.

*not to know the immensity of heaven and earth: to overestimate your own abilities; to not understand things

If sister finds out, she will be finished.

"It's okay, you ask. I can tell you anything I know." Qi Yan noticed the little girl's hesitation, which was both funny and pitiful. She unconsciously softened her voice.

Qiao Qiao had already told her about what happened that night.

She doesn't care.

Cheng Suran's heart trembled slightly, she raised her head, and a certain nerve in her brain jumped suddenly.  She couldn't stand the temptation, not at all.

So she hesitated and said, "Sister, is she afraid of ghosts?"

"She's not." Qi Yan shook her head, "She dares to go for a walk in the cemetery alone."

"Then is she afraid of the dark?"

"It's hard to tell. She can walk alone at night, but she must turn on the night light when she sleeps at night. I don't quite understand."

At night in the hotel, the bedside lamp is always on in the master bedroom. Before going to sleep, her sister will turn it very dim but never turn it off.  But sometimes, sister would open the curtains to let in the flashing neon lights outside, and get a piece of silence in the busy city.

Cheng Suran thought for a while and said, "Could she be claustrophobic?

"I don't think so. She took the elevator, took the plane... She has been in any closed space, and there has been no problem." Qi Yan also began to recall, but it was too long, and she only remembered the general impression.

"What about her health?"

"She's always been healthy. You know a model needs to keep in shape. Going to the gym is as normal as eating. Although she looks thin, she has a lot of strength. The only time I remember something went wrong was when she had to leave for a big show. The day before at noon, she started to drink only water and didn’t eat at all, and she didn’t drink water at all in the evening. She also said that she was afraid that the edema would affect her condition. After the big show, she went to the hospital because of hypoglycemia..."

Qi Yan's expression was calm, as if she was talking about a stranger's gossip.

Cheng Suran's heart ached when she heard this, and she couldn't help muttering: "Is it so hard..."

"It's been a hard work," Qi Yan nodded, no matter how much she hated Jiang Yu's scumbag behavior, she couldn't deny the hard work she put in in her career, "When I met her, she was already well-known in the modeling circle. Yes, during the rising period of her career, she is very busy. There are two seasons of fashion week, two seasons of haute couture shows, and various advertisements and magazine shootings. She works in China during the Christmas holiday abroad, and is busy abroad during the Spring Festival holiday in China. Her rest time adds up to less than forty days a year."

As they talked, the topic that originally revolved around today's incident gradually turned to Jiang Yu's personal hobbies and living habits.

"What does she like to eat?"

"Looks like a small steamed bun."

"What does she hate the most?"

"Garlic? Can't remember much."

Jiang Yu likes to listen to old songs and pure music, including but not limited to instrumentals, and sometimes goes to live concerts, and her favorite movie is "Perfume"

...most of them, Qi Yan can't remember clearly, and some of them don't even know at all.

For example, family.

She only knew that Jiang Yu had a bad relationship with her family, and she never went home or called her family when she was free.

The more she asked and listened, the more Cheng Suran envied Qi Yan, and a lot of sour bubbles popped up in her heart—she didn't know anything. On the one hand, she was guilty and ashamed that she used her 'current girlfriend' identity to understand the situation, but on the other hand, she couldn't refuse such a temptation.

But, why does she envy Qi Yan...

Realizing this, Cheng Suran felt inexplicably uneasy. She felt that this was not a good thing, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Xiao Ranran, you don't know anything about these things?" Qi Yan realized something was wrong after knowing it.

How can there be love without knowing each other?

Cheng Suran's heart tightened, panicked, and she hesitated, "We...have only known each other for more than a month...so..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. You will know what kind of person she is after a long time together. Rather than telling it from my mouth, you should experience it yourself. If you like someone, you will naturally want to know everything about her. Falling in love. The process of exploring each other at the beginning is also very interesting." Qi Yan was like a teacher, educating her gently and patiently.

If you like someone…

You will want to know everything about her.

Cheng Suran repeated this sentence in her heart, and she was stunned.

Did she fall in love with Jiang Yu?

When this idea came up, it was immediately rejected. Impossible, she has never liked a woman before, she and her sister are just a nurturing relationship, knowing a little more is just to find out her sister's temper, so as not to step on more land mines, so as to know how to please the benefactor, right?

Thinking about it, Cheng Suran calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Ranran?" Qi Yan stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

Cheng Suran came back to her senses, raised an unnatural smile, and said, "Sister Yanyan, I understand, thank you, but don't say what happened today."

"Okay, don't worry."

In the observation room, Tian Lin was still scolding Jiang Yu.

"Why are you torturing yourself like this? Saying that you don't care about the kid, then you end up getting yourself in the hospital, ridiculous right? Once, twice. Fortunately, nothing happened. What if there is a serious problem?"

"You usually lecture me about the set of principles in my daily life, but why don't you listen to your own advice?

"I know you want to overcome your fear, but you have to take your time, right? The more reckless and anxious you are, the more useless work you do, and in the end you hurt yourself, and let those of us who care about you die in a hurry. You really..."

She said a lot in one breath, her eyes were a little red, she couldn't say anything more, and turned her face away.

Jiang Yu lowered her head with a downcast expression, like a child who has done something wrong. After a while, she murmured: "Tian Lin..."

"Don't call me."

"I failed again."

"..."

Tian Lin turned back again.

Jiang Yu raised her head, and there was a hint of disappointment in her blurred eyes, then she smiled at her and said, "It's okay, keep working hard."

Childhood memories turned into shadows in her heart. She fought against it for more than ten years, and she was defeated repeatedly. Every time she stood up again, she felt like peeling off a layer of skin. The feeling was no less than returning to hell when she was eighteen years old.

She can leave it alone and let it grow, but she refuses to accept it. She has been competing with herself for more than ten years, and then she gradually became addicted.

It was as if she had found an object to vent her hostility and hatred unscrupulously—herself.

Torturing herself can bring pleasure.

Looking at her smiling, Tian Lin suddenly felt sad and helpless, and reached out to hug her, "It's okay to work hard, but don't use this method again."

"Mm."

"I'll find you a psychiatrist when I go back."

"No need."

"Do you look like you are trying to work through it?" Tian Lin frowned again.

Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Then it's okay to go for a full body check?"

"I am healthy."

"Jiang Yu—"

"Mm?"

The two looked at each other.

Within two seconds, Jiang Yu looked away and changed the subject: "Where is the kid? You came here before we really had time to talk. I finally managed to coax and stop her from being a crying baby again."

After speaking, she looked towards the closed door.

"Sister Yu..." Tian Lin looked at her with a serious expression, "Don't you feel that you are a bit abnormal recently?"

"How am I abnormal?"

"The one who should be coaxed is you."

"I don't like being coaxed."

Jiang Yu smiled faintly, patted Tian Lin's hand, got up and got out of bed, "Let's go back if there is no problem."

She was still wearing her own clothes, as if she had just visited the hospital. Without waiting for Tian Lin to speak, she opened the door and walked out. In an instant, she met several worried eyes.

"Sister—" Cheng Suran went up to her and hugged her.

Bai Lu who reacted a step slower: "..."

Jiang Yu hugged the girl in her arms, smelled a sweet milky scent at the tip of her nose, and felt at ease, "Hey, can you go back to Jiangcheng with sister early?"

"I'll go back too." Bai Lu said ahead of Cheng Suran.

Cheng Suran buried her face in Jiang Yu's neck, pressed her ears against the hot temperature, and rubbed them lightly, perhaps because she had done something wrong, she didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Yu's eyes, for fear of being found out, and sullenly answered: "Okay."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yu took the kid, Tian Lin and Bai Lu to the car for the return journey.

This time, Cheng Suran refused to give up the middle seat, brazenly acting like a spoiled child to Jiang Yu, but Bai Lu didn't say anything, just sat in the back silently all the way.

Time went by faster than before.

The setting sun dyed the sky red and golden, and as the car drove into the city, Jiang Yu opened her eyes and said to the driver, "Let's go to Hengshi Apartment first."

Bai Lu lived there.

"Sister Yu, where are you going?" Bai Lu asked tentatively.

Jiang Yu opened the curtains, squinted her eyes, and said two words lightly: "Going home."

"Then don't send me off, let's go directly to your house."

"No."

"Last time you told me to go over for dinner."

"Maybe some other day." Jiang Yu looked out of the window for a moment, then raised her hand to signal her to shut up.

Bai Lu glanced at Cheng Suran, but said nothing.

At the apartment building, Bai Lu got out of the car, turned her head three times a step and waved towards the car, and Cheng Suran who was sitting on the other side closed the curtains with a "swish" to block her figure.

In Jiang Yu's eyes, the girl's childish behavior was extremely cute. With a low laugh, she stretched out her arms to hug her, wanting to hold her in her arms, and kiss those lips without any scruples.

"Mm--"

Cheng Suran closed her eyes and hugged her neck actively, very skillfully.

Tian Lin, who was sitting in the back, lowered her head silently to look at her phone.

The long and passionate kiss lasted for nearly a minute, Cheng Suran felt that she was about to suffocate, her little face flushed red, and finally, Jiang Yu let go of her.

"Sister..." She opened her mouth slightly, her water-stained lips were shiny and flushed with blood, like a tempting fruit.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but lowered her head again, pecked her lightly, brushed the broken hair on her cheeks with her fingers, and said softly: "I'll take you back to the hotel first, sister won't be there tonight, I have to go to bed early, you know?  "

" I…"

"Hmm?"

"I want to go to your house." Cheng Suran blinked her clear black eyes and whispered.

Jiang Yu scratched her nose with a smile, "Be good, be obedient."

"Is it not Okay?"

"..."

Bai Lu's words echoed in her ears, and Cheng Suran felt depressed and sour. Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't speak, she mustered up her courage, softened her voice and acted coquettishly: "Sister... let me go, okay?  Let's eat at your house..."

She said, kissing her lips.

The smile in Jiang Yu's eyes froze. She stared at the girl for a moment, then suddenly pushed her away, and said coldly, "Have I been too nice to you?"
