Taming

Cool, controlling older sister x timid but flirtatious younger girl

A story about discovering that the daughter of your mother's new partner is your former little puppy.

I want this so badly, TAT

-

Su Jian's greatest rule in life is never to look back.

So when the little puppy she'd picked up three years ago left without a word, she simply thought she'd been wrong about her.

That is, until her mother decided to remarry. At the dinner where the two families met, she saw Lin Wu, the daughter of her mother's new partner.

The girl looked sweet and well-behaved, but under the table, she brushed her leg against Su Jian's calf. It was the same face as the person who had knelt before her three years ago.

Su Jian has no intention of getting involved again with the person who is about to become her stepsister, but Lin Wu turns around and starts flirting with her.

She parades around in nothing but Su Jian's shirt, slips into her arms, dripping wet, on a rainy night, and even gets into Su Jian's bed right in front of her...

Su Jian puts up with it again and again.

Until the night before her mother's wedding, when Lin Wu takes an utterly unfamiliar woman by the arm and tells everyone she's her girlfriend.

After the woman leaves, Su Jian looks at Lin Wu's defiant face and closes the door.

"Have I spoiled you so much that you've forgotten how loudly you cried when you knelt in front of me?"

-

Lin Wu's perspective:

Ever since she came of age, Lin Wu has known what kind of relationship she wants. Luckily, she met the perfect partner.

Calm, rational, mature, tolerant, patient, sometimes merciless, yet afterward so gentle and tender in comforting her. Lin Wu fell deeply for her.

But one day, Lin Wu caught her partner acting intimately with someone else. She didn't have the courage to ask her about it, so she packed up and ran. Even after running away, she couldn't stop thinking about her.

Then her mother started seeing someone and pointed to the two daughters in a photo, saying, "Look, these are going to be your stepsister and stepsister."

Lin Wu: "..."

She knew the older stepsister and had met the younger one too. What a coincidence.

Lin Wu knows it was all a misunderstanding back then, so she decides to make the first move.

But every attempt at flirting falls flat in front of Su Jian, like a clown putting on a pathetic show.

On a friend's advice, Lin Wu decides to get someone to pretend to be her girlfriend and see how Su Jian reacts. But Su Jian still doesn't so much as bat an eye.

Heartbroken, Lin Wu sees the woman out, only for Su Jian to pin her against the doorway. "What made you think you had the nerve to provoke me like this, hmm?"

Su Jian's account:

I know she's hard to tame, frivolous, and used to putting on an innocent face.

When she parades around in my shirt, she's waiting for me to take it off her with my own hands.

When she gets into my bed right in front of me, she's betting that I'll pin her into the mattress and make her remember whose bed this is.

She's betting that I still care.

And I do care. I never lie to myself about that.

But the way I care is never the way she wants me to.

She wants me to lose control.

She wants me to be like I was three years ago, when she'd deliberately misbehave and I'd teach her a lesson in the most merciless way possible.

But she's forgotten that the only reason she could kneel in front of me and cry three years ago was that everything she wanted had to be allowed by me.

Including wanting me to punish her.

So I'll play along with this little act.

She wears my shirt, and I only glance at her.

She gets into my bed, and I lean against the doorframe and watch the whole thing. Then I say, "You can wash the sheets you dirtied yourself."

All I need is to keep her uncertain. Uncertainty makes her panic, and when she panics, she does even more foolish things.

Like taking a strange woman by the arm the night before the wedding and telling everyone she's her girlfriend.

Three years, and she hasn't improved one bit.

She can make mistakes, provoke me, and run away. But she'll remember that everything comes at a price.

And every price she pays will make it harder for her to leave me.

She didn't understand then. She still doesn't fully understand now.

But her body remembers.

Her knees remember.

Every time she opens herself to me, she remembers.
