Sixty-seven, sex, a culture (1)

  Another day when school started, Gu Xue Lin came back.

  I went to the station to pick her up again.

  As soon as we met, Gu Xue Lin tightly hugged my arm, as if we had been apart for more than a year, not just several weeks.

  We took another bus back.

  To be honest, I've always felt a little guilty towards Gu Xue Lin.

  I was afraid that she would sniff out some clues, so before she came, I thoroughly cleaned the house again.

  Back home, I plopped myself down on the sofa.

  "It's too hot outside, I'm going to take a bath," said Gao Xuelin.

  "Uh-huh," I responded, but my eyes were fixed on what was behind the door.

  "Do you want to take a bath together?" asked Gu Xue Lin.

  "No way," I shook my head.

  "I washed it myself," said Gao Xuelin, glancing at me.

  "Okay," I said with a yawn.

  "I thought that as soon as you got back home, you'd be eager to," Gao Xuelin pouted at me.

  "What do you want?" I was taken aback.

  Gu Xue Lin's face suddenly turned red, and it was only then that I reacted.

  "Oh, you're talking about this," I laughed.

  "In two more days, that old friend of mine will probably arrive. At that time, even if you want to, you won't be able to get it," Gu Xuelin said with a smile.

  "Are you teasing me?" I sprang up from the sofa with a "thud".

  "It's not like that, I just want to remind you that now is a safe period, so be sure to grasp it well."

  "Now that you've reminded me, I'll take control," I said, taking off my top and tossing it onto the sofa before starting to remove my pants.

  "Hey, hey, the curtains haven't been pulled yet, be careful of exposure," said Gǔ Xuě Lín, straining her neck towards the wide open window.

  "Oh," I pulled up my pants and quickly walked over to pull the curtains shut.

  "Is this okay now?" I glanced at Gǔ Xuě Lín, she stuck her tongue out at me and also started taking off her clothes.

  In an instant, all that was left were white underwear and a triangle of pants.

  Then she undid her undergarments.

  A pair of small and firm * were exposed in front of me.

  I was stunned for a moment, and in front of me, Ouyang Xiao appeared again, taking off her underwear in the hotel room.

  For some reason, this sentence suddenly popped into my mind:

  In that life, I traversed mountains and rivers and circumambulated Buddhist towers, not for the sake of accumulating merit for future lives, but just to meet you along the way.

  "Why aren't you taking off your clothes? Aren't we going to take a bath together?" Gu Xuelin asked, seeing that I was still holding onto my pants.

  It wasn't until then that I realized, "Oh, okay."

  "Look at me after these few days back home, haven't I gained a lot of weight?" said Gao Xuelin, pinching the flesh on her belly.

  "It's okay, I guess," I said with a forced smile.

  "I weighed myself yesterday afternoon, and I'm already 101 pounds! I remember last time at that big pharmacy, I was still 96 pounds. I need to lose weight ASAP!" Gu Xue Lin said while taking off her underwear.

  "Uh-huh," I nodded, "then you can start losing weight now."

  "I also think it's very necessary," said Gao Xuelin, turning around and walking towards the bathroom. Then, she turned on the shower.

  Water gushed down with a whooshing sound.
