Free Web NovelChapter 213: Chapter 211: Became a Trending Topic
Li Chenlin was flushed red from head to toe. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he swallowed.
Only one thought occupied Bai Su’s mind: to please him.
The way Li Chenlin made her feel was completely different from Lu Tingyan and Yelias.
They were always shamelessly dominant, pushing her into retreat. With them, she could only react passively, following their lead.
Li Chenlin used to be like that, too.
But things were different now.
Perhaps because they had fought, Li Chenlin was now exceptionally docile and obedient. He was terrified of being abandoned again, so he put her first in everything.
This feeling—of holding the dominant position, of having power over him—was incredibly thrilling, even addictive.
She tried to please him using the kissing techniques she had learned from Lu Tingyan and Yelias.
She watched as his breath hitched, his body tensing up before slowly relaxing.
When the kiss ended, Bai Su’s face was also bright red. She looked at him cautiously and whispered, "If I please you like this, will you stop being mad?"
Li Chenlin was still panting, and in the darkness, she couldn’t make out the expression in his eyes.
Bai Su could only sense that the woody fragrance in the air was growing richer.
She grew a little anxious. Her drooping ears unconsciously framed her small face. "Li Chenlin, are you still mad?"
She edged closer, still anxious, trying to get a clear look at his expression. "I kissed you... You’re not happy?"
Before she could get a good look, Li Chenlin pulled her into a tight embrace.
Their bodies were pressed flush against each other.
In the darkness, their hearts pounded violently, a frantic, scorching rhythm, his beat echoing hers.
In the embrace, their bodies gradually warmed, relaxing and softening into one another.
Li Chenlin held her for so long that Bai Su’s neck started to feel stiff.
She struggled slightly. "Li Chenlin..."
"Don’t move," Li Chenlin’s voice rasped in the darkness, thick with emotion.
Hearing just that, Bai Su immediately went still.
Li Chenlin said, "Susu, I cherish this process of taking things step-by-step with you, so..."
"Don’t tempt me. I don’t want to ruin the good impression I’ve worked so hard to build with you."
’That was actually what Bai Su was thinking, too.’
’She really liked taking things step-by-step with Li Chenlin.’
’Her relationship with him was the closest thing she had to the normal romance she craved.’
She could feel how much he cherished and protected her, and a sweet warmth spread through her. "Mm," she agreed.
After a moment, she worked up her courage and nuzzled his neck. "So... you’re not mad anymore?"
Li Chenlin’s breath hitched. Cupping the back of her head, he bent down and kissed her again.
He didn’t have much experience with kissing. He could only follow his instincts, conquering her mouth with a masculine roughness that nearly scraped her lips raw.
Bai Su frowned in pain. "Mmph..."
Li Chenlin let her go, looking frustrated. "Susu, I hurt you, didn’t I?"
He was like a big, clumsy oaf who had done something wrong, holding a delicate, pricelessly beautiful, and fragile piece of glass. "I’m sorry. It felt so good when you kissed me... I just wanted to make you feel that good, too..."
"Don’t be mad at me, Susu..."
In the darkness, their gazes met.
Bai Su blinked, then leaned in on her own accord. "I’ll teach you..."
Their breaths mingled again.
When passion was at its peak, a simple kiss could be enough to bring one to climax.
「One hour later.」
Bai Su emerged, her face flushed and her lips impossibly swollen. She shot a guilty glance toward Yelias’s room, then scurried back to her own.

In Snow Country, spring always seemed to stretch on forever.
Bai Su yawned as she arrived for work. The shop had just opened, but there was Rosa Meiya, dressed to the nines.
The corner of her mouth twitched. "Why are you here again?"
Rosa Meiya laughed. "Hey, girl, aren’t you happy to see a customer? I just got a craving, that’s all. I’ve been in Snow Country all this time and have never tried your cooking."
"I heard there’s a long wait to order your food, so I made sure to get here bright and early!"
Seeing his point, Bai Su couldn’t really argue. "Fine. Have a seat and ask a server for a menu."
Rosa Meiya nodded and actually went inside with the server, leaving her alone.
Bai Su breathed a sigh of relief.
This was indeed Rosa Meiya’s first time ordering Bai Su’s food.
When he tasted the first bite, he was truly dumbfounded.
The rich Healing Power in the food circulated through his body.
The physical trauma from his gender transformation began to slowly heal.
A Mermaid’s secondary transformation upon reaching adulthood randomly leaves behind wounds that are excruciatingly painful and incredibly difficult to heal.
His wounds were in... certain unmentionable places and would take at least three years to heal.
This meant that for three years, he would be essentially unable to mate.
But Bai Su’s food possessed such a potent Healing Ability that his wounds were healing at a visible rate.
Rosa Meiya stared, stunned, at Bai Su on the livestream feed. He was beginning to understand why so many females were willing to take on public-facing jobs as servers just for a taste of her cooking.
「After work.」
As Bai Su came out of the kitchen, she saw Rosa Meiya standing at the door holding a bouquet of flowers. "Hey, beautiful~"
Bai Su: "..."
When Rosa Meiya saw her walk straight past him, he hurried after her with the flowers. "Hey, where are you going? C’mon, girl, I need a favor!"
Bai Su said, "If you need something, just say it."
Rosa Meiya rubbed his nose. "Well, you know how I was complaining about my skin the other day? The weather on the Northern Continent is just so dry. I want to find a salon for a beauty treatment, and I was hoping you’d go with me."
Bai Su said with a laugh, "Why would I go with you for a beauty treatment?"
Rosa Meiya grabbed her arm and put on a pitiful look. "C’mon, girl, you’re the only person I know in Snow Country! Please!"
"Come with me! If you don’t, what if I get scammed by the Land People?"
Bai Su: "Then just don’t get a beauty treatment."
Rosa Meiya shook his head frantically. "No way! Beauty is the most important thing for us Mermaids! I have to be beautiful! If I’m not beautiful, I’ll die!"
"Just go with me, please! Susu... You’re the best!"
Bai Su couldn’t stand up to his incessant wheedling and finally gave in with a nod. "Fine, fine. But just this once. Next time, you’re on your own."
Rosa Meiya’s eyes lit up. "Deal!"
Satisfied, he linked his arm through Bai Su’s and led her away, just like a pair of best girlfriends.
’This was his advantage over the other males, wasn’t it?’
「The next day.」
The names Bai Su and Rosa Meiya were trending online.
