Unwanted Desire

1.

Sheng Xia had spent years as a young widow raising her late husband's younger sister, Ji Zhiwei, and had finally seen her off to university.

Her neighbor tried to persuade her: "You've had a hard time all these years. You're still young, so you should think about your own life, too."

Sheng Xia smiled, not yet replying, when Ji Zhiwei grabbed her wrist and hurriedly pulled her away.

In the dim room, the young woman tugged open her collar and took Sheng Xia's soft, warm breast into her mouth. Her breath was scorching.

Sheng Xia stroked her hair, her voice troubled:

"Xiao Wei, when will you get over this illness?"

Ever since Ji Zhiwei started university, she'd developed a "strange illness." She couldn't eat or sleep and felt awful all over. She only felt better when someone comforted her like this.

The young woman paused, then raised her tear-bright eyes to Sheng Xia:

"Has Sister-in-law gotten tired of me after all? I know I'm always a nuisance, a burden. I'm sickly and unpleasant, and no one likes me..."

"Stop!" Sheng Xia hurriedly interrupted her, holding her snow-white breast to Ji Zhiwei's mouth. "If you want to eat, then eat. Don't keep imagining things."

Out of Sheng Xia's sight, Ji Zhiwei's lips curved upward.

Ji Zhiwei's illness was getting worse.

The treatment kept escalating, and Sheng Xia still indulged her, but she grew more and more uneasy, until at last she had to ask a friend for help.

After hearing her out, the friend was stunned. This new-era sister-in-law relationship had upended her entire worldview, and she didn't know what to say.

Sheng Xia only half understood.

That night, Sheng Xia was once again "treating" Ji Zhiwei.

When the splashing finally stopped, Sheng Xia pulled her hand out and wiped it clean with a tissue.

After a moment's thought, she couldn't help asking, "Xiao Wei, do you have feelings for me..."

Before she could finish, her lips were kissed.

After their breaths mingled, the young woman looked up with glistening eyes, her cheeks still flushed.

Ji Zhiwei gazed at her, her tone solemn and devout:

"All these years... I've never had the slightest improper thought about you, Sister-in-law."

At last, Sheng Xia felt reassured.

She let the young woman do as she pleased.
