Chapter 26

Transmigration Diary 26
Cefalina rose on tiptoe—kissed Wen Shiyu.
Familiar sweet peach again—clearer than before.
Breath quick—hearts tangled.
Cefalina soft—arms around neck—purred against her like a cat.
Dizzy from kiss—one hand behind—found the door handle—
Cefalina grabbed her collar—pulled her from the door.
“Hold me—” breathless—led to the bed.
Again lower—ears red:
“Until…… I’m satisfied.”
Before Wen Shiyu could think—collar grabbed again—
“And don’t sneak away while sleeping!”
Did not trust her.
Drawer—belt through the collar—other end in her fist.
Wen Shiyu’s eyes wide—
Cefalina smiled small control—cheeks pink—proud.
Face close—nose almost touching cheek—
“I said—you’re my servant.”
“Now—”
Breath hitched.
“Kiss me.”
……
Dawn—Cefalina still koala-holding her.
Gold hair on pillow—lashes long—deep asleep.
Satisfying her…… not hard.
But sleeping entwined—
The rabbit nuzzled unconsciously—wanted more—
Almost till midnight before real sleep.
Peach scent in sheets and quilt.
Early—sun just over the sea.
Carefully moved Cefalina’s arm from her waist—
Remembered the strap—blushed.
Cefalina had tied the other end to her own wrist—afraid of hurting her?
Held breath—untied the collar knot—stole out without waking her.
Hallway relief—Su Yan heading out.
“You’re up early?”
Heart dropped.
Su Yan runs even on vacation!
Embarrassed—would not say whose room—
“……Mm—thinking about surfing.”
Su Yan lit up: “Want more practice? Waves should be good—let’s go.”
Lied—face red—nodded: “……Okay—change clothes.”
——
Soon—waist-deep on boards.
Su Yan adjusted stance: “Knees more—core tight—eyes forward—not at the board—feel the push don’t fight it.”
Wave came—Wen Shiyu focused.
Su Yan watched her—soft:
“Cefalina’s illness…… is it hard on you?”
Wen Shiyu turned.
“She bullies you because she believes you wronged her—that’s natural.”
“If you feel wronged or can’t cope—tell me. I can try talking to her.”
Eyes on the water—no answer.
Wronged? Orders and excessive intimacy—but no real harm.
Whatever Cefalina did—she did not hate her.
Real knot: after recovery—how would Cefalina see this mess?
Why did she care so much?
Graduate and leave—if Cefalina hated her—maybe fine?
She would not cross oceans to pursue a grudge.
Su Yan lowered eyes.
Always faint peach on Wen Shiyu—
Silence—she would not intrude.
“Careful—” steadied the tail—
“Wave coming—remember.”
Nod—focused—
Glanced shore—Cefalina in shallow water walking toward them.
“!”
Panic—board tilted.
“Watch out!” Su Yan grabbed—both fell splash.
Head up—looked at beach.
Cefalina arms crossed—worse mood—distance could not hide rage.
Guilty glance—surf over—ashore.
Su Yan to Cefalina: “Sorry—I know you disagreed but I brought Wen Shiyu out.”
Cefalina pressed lips—knew the ban was unreasonable—“……It’s fine.”
To Wen Shiyu—different face—hands on hips—puffed.
“Come here.”
Account time.
Tied with the strap—was that not clear?
Sneaked off while she slept!
“Not midnight—I left in the morning—”
“Still no.”
“No playing this afternoon. After lunch—my room.”
Stunned: “Can I skip lunch—as punishment—”
Cefalina: “That’s bad for you.”
Face hot—smaller: “But…… all afternoon…… isn’t that too much?”
Blank—red—low voice: “Who—who said all afternoon doing that? Just no going out.”
Maybe…… once more…… only!
——
Lunch—Charlotte suggested reef snorkeling.
Cefalina waved off—tomorrow.
“Tired. Wen Shiyu—rest with me in the room.”
Tired but grabbed wrist of Wen Shiyu studying napkin folds.
Stiff—no excuse—desperate eyes at Charlotte—SOS.
Charlotte set cup down.
“……Does Wen Shiyu need help?”
Or face cramp?
Su Yan did not see the signal—sighed low: “I asked—she said no conflict with Cefalina.”
Hard to intervene.
Charlotte raised brow. “……Really?”
Wen Shiyu would regret not screaming help.
Dragged to bedroom—door shut.
Belt again—must Wen Shiyu buckle herself—and apologize.
Sighed—threaded through collar ring—offered the end.
“Sorry—here. I won’t vanish again—”
Fingertips on her wrist: “Don’t tie your wrist…… marks already.”
Cefalina blank—blush—watery amber eyes:
“……Kiss me.”
Hesitate: “……You said afternoon wasn’t for…… that?”
Redder: “Just a kiss—one kiss—what are you thinking!”
Inner eye roll—last night “just sleep” too—
Cefalina guessed—rabbit stomp shame:
“This time—even if you beg—I won’t let you push further!”
“Who wants that? Your lousy Alpha scent—no choice—”
Chin up anyway: “Now—kiss me.”
No more words—light kiss—
Standing to lying in blankets—
Small hums—pressing close.
Mumble: “Just kissing.”
“Mm……” arms honest around neck.
“Wen Shiyu—”
……
Proof: some promises from the heiress—
Like her punishments—dubious effect.
——
Dinner—Charlotte saw Wen Shiyu slip from Cefalina’s room.
Eyes sharp—grabbed arm—yanked into her room—slam.
“What—Charlotte?”
Ignored—grabbed collar—sniffed neck.
Stiff—shrink back: “What are you—”
Released—eyes round—suspicious.
Faint peach—real this time.
Too suspicious!
“Wen Shiyu!” low serious— “Tell me the truth—what’s going on?”
Wasn’t the plan to make Cefalina hate you?
Why more intimate?
Cefalina only wants Wen Shiyu—not playing with them.
Was “make her hate me” a cover—to lower guard and farm goodwill??
