A confused girl, a bold me.

Upon entering the room, Xiao Xi tossed her bag at me and declared, "I need to use the restroom first. We'll see how you prove it later." I took her bag, and she went into the bathroom, shutting the door with a decisive click. I quietly opened her bag. Her phone was still inside. Ah... what an inexperienced girl, so carelessly entrusting such a crucial tool for help to someone who was about to harm her. But it was precisely this carelessness that gave me my opportunity. I placed her bag on a chair by the window, took out the rope I had brought, tucked it into my pocket, tore off a strip of tape and held it in my palm, then leaned against the bathroom door, waiting for her to emerge. Just as I finished preparing, I heard the sound of flushing. My heart pounded uncontrollably, a frantic rhythm in my chest, my mind fixated on the thought: This is it! The sound of washing hands, followed by the click of the doorknob turning. Xiao Xi's head peeked out first. Now! Quick as lightning, I shot out my left hand, pressing down on the back of her head. My right hand followed, perfectly placing the tape over Xiao Xi's mouth. The confused girl hadn't even registered what was happening before her mouth was sealed. I knew the tape wouldn't hold on its own, so I kept my hand pressed to her mouth, pulling her towards the bed. Xiao Xi tried to pry my right hand away with both of hers, but a frail girl was no match for a man. I freed my left hand and grabbed her left one, then shoved her onto the bed. Swiftly, I seized her right hand, and just like that, both of Xiao Xi's hands were in my grasp. I sat on top of Xiao Xi, slowly pulling her hands behind her back, careful not to hurt her. Xiao Xi struggled, whimpering muffled pleas, "What are you doing? Help!" Finally, I managed to grip both her wrists with my left hand. My right hand reached into my pocket for the rope, preparing to tie her hands. The moment her hands brushed against the rope, she realized my intention and struggled even more violently. My heartbeat quickened with her every desperate movement. I crossed her wrists and wrapped the rope around them four times horizontally, then four times vertically. The rope was just enough. I tied a knot, securing her wrists in a cross. Watching Xiao Xi twist her wrists in a futile attempt to break free, I nodded. It seemed secure. I turned, pulled another length of rope from my pocket, and bound her legs, which were still pressing me down, in a similar cross pattern. Mission accomplished. This was my first time tying up a girl, and the nervousness I felt was transforming into excitement as I tightened the knot on her ankles. I stood up, flipped Xiao Xi over from her prone position on the bed, and helped her sit up against the headboard. I then sat on the other bed. I watched Xiao Xi, gasping for breath against the headboard, her bound legs stretched out on the bed, shoes still on. Her face, a mixture of fury and fear, looked at me, her eyes glistening with tears, both pitiable and adorable. "Xiao Xi, don't be scared," I said, trying to soothe her. "I'm truly sorry for tying you up. I admit this method is crude, but it's how I'll prove it. I hope you'll tell me the truth, okay?" Xiao Xi stared at me, whimpering and kicking her feet. "Then I'll take the tape off your mouth now. Please don't scream, okay? Though it seems this room has pretty good soundproofing." With that, I got up and removed the tape from her mouth. After the tape was off, Xiao Xi gasped for air, her voice choked with tears. "What do you want? I didn't cheat you out of any money, why are you doing this to me? Untie me!" I pulled out a tissue, intending to wipe away her tears, but Xiao Xi turned her face away, refusing the gesture. I leaned closer to her ear, whispering, "It looks like this is your first time working as a bar girl, isn't it?" At this, Xiao Xi snapped her head back, nearly hitting my nose. "How did you know..." She stopped herself mid-sentence, biting her lip and lowering her head, clearly having let something slip. "Alright, don't move. Let me wipe your tears," I said, dabbing at the tear tracks on her face. This time, Xiao Xi didn't pull away. "You're wearing a bit of makeup," I commented as I wiped. "It's all smudged from crying." "Help me wipe off the makeup," Xiao Xi said softly, her mood seemingly calmer than before. So, respecting her wish, I wiped away the makeup I could. "I don't know how to properly remove makeup, so I just wiped off what I could. It doesn't look smudged now." "You... how did you figure it out..." Xiao Xi asked again, and I had anticipated this question. "Firstly, my buddy got scammed by a bar girl not too long ago, so I was already on guard," I said, standing up and tossing the used tissue. "Secondly, you, a girl I've never met, arranged to meet me after only chatting for about an hour, and you specifically named a certain bar. That further solidified my suspicion that you're a bar girl." Xiao Xi looked up at me, no longer struggling, just watching me quietly, listening to me expose her. "And then there was your overly strong reaction when I mentioned you might be a bar girl on the way here. It was like protesting too much, so I concluded you are indeed a bar girl, and a first-timer at that, with no experience." "First, let me assure you, Xiao Xi, I would never lay a hand on you inappropriately. Please believe me." After some thought, I decided it was best to clear up this misunderstanding first. "You tricked me into coming here, tied me up, and so tightly at that. How can I believe you?" Xiao Xi struggled, trying to break free from her restraints. "You need to understand, you were the one who tried to trick me first." "If you dare touch me, I'll die!" Xiao Xi cried out as she thrashed, tears welling up in her eyes again. Thankfully, the soundproofing in here was excellent. If Xiao Xi's cries had been audible, I might have already been apprehended by hotel security. I can't stand seeing girls cry, and Xiao Xi's tears softened me: "Alright, alright, I'll tell you, just stop crying, okay?" To reveal a secret I'd kept for so many years, and to the girl I had personally tied up, made me nervous. The fear of exposing my secret was probably no less than Xiao Xi's fear of me at this moment. I scratched my head, organizing my thoughts, and said, "It's like this, Xiao Xi. Ever since I was a child, I've been fascinated by girls who are bound." "Ah?" This answer clearly surprised Xiao Xi. Her eyes widened as she stared at me. "The first time I saw a bound girl on television as a child, it was like a switch flipped inside me. I felt an immediate thrill. From then on, it became an obsession. Every time I saw a bound girl on TV, I couldn't contain my excitement. A few times, I almost exposed myself to my parents." Since I had decided to tell Xiao Xi, I might as well tell her the whole story. Whether she believed me or not was up to her. "Later, when I got internet access, I started searching for such TV clips online. To my surprise, there was an abundance of such content. I also discovered I wasn't alone; many netizens shared my interest, enjoying pictures of girls tied up. Moreover, I found numerous bondage websites online. People like me had created these sites and studios, specializing in shooting bondage photos and videos for viewing. And the girls who participated were all willing to be bound." As I spoke, I slowly moved towards Xiao Xi's bag. I paused, and while Xiao Xi closed her eyes, twisting her bound wrists, I quickly took her phone from her bag, dialed my own number, hung up, and put it back. Just like that, I successfully obtained her phone number and continued my story. "The more I watched, the more I wished I could try tying someone up myself. But girls don't exactly wear 'I like being tied up' or 'I'm willing to be bound' or 'Tie me up!' on their faces. Asking out of the blue would definitely mark me as a pervert, and I didn't have the courage to ask my female friends. So, the idea of tying up a girl remained just a wish, never realized." I smiled at Xiao Xi. "But today, a foolish, silly girl, who tried to trick me, fell right into my trap. You've finally allowed me to fulfill a dream I've harbored for years. I'm truly grateful, Xiao Xi." "So, you carry tape and rope in your bag just for tying up girls?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh. "That's truly fate." "Hmm?" Xiao Xi looked confused. "After you arranged to meet me, a thought suddenly struck me. A voice told me, 'Bring whatever you want to bring, and your wish will be granted.' Following that impulse, I packed the clothesline and tape. I never expected to actually use them." My story was over. This secret had been bottled up for so long, and speaking it out relieved much of my tension. I looked at Xiao Xi, waiting for her reaction. After a brief silence, Xiao Xi finally spoke, "So, you just like watching bound girls, but you won't do anything excessively harmful to them... Can I... understand it that way?" "Yes, tying you up like this is already excessive. How could I possibly do anything more?" I admitted. "You're a strange person, so perverted, yet a little gentle." Xiao Xi's voice grew softer. It seemed she was developing a slightly better impression of me, a stranger. Gentle. This was the first time a girl had ever called me gentle. A little flutter stirred in my heart. But this was one thing, and that was another. Regarding Xiao Xi, I still had one question: "So, Xiao Xi, I've confessed my secret to you. Can you tell me why you were working as a bar hostess?" Another silence. During this time, Xiao Xi shifted her bound legs, her hands tied behind her back moving slightly. After a few more minutes, Xiao Xi said, "Can you untie my hands first? It's so hot in this room, I want to take off my jacket." It was true. Because it was winter, the hotel room was well-heated, and Xiao Xi's jacket was quite thick. Coupled with her earlier struggles, she would naturally feel hot. "Yes, I can. But after you take off your jacket, I'll still tie your hands up." With that, I got up and untied the ropes binding Xiao Xi's hands. Xiao Xi remained silent, quietly waiting for me to release her. "Wait a moment..." Xiaoxi thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and mumbled softly, "Pervert..." Although it was December, apples were still being sold on the street, so I bought some. Back in the hotel room, I took out the three bundles of new ropes I had just bought and placed them on the bed. Xiaoxi looked at the three new bundles of ropes and asked, "Do you need this much rope?" "Of course, I do." "Are these ropes clean... Don't get my clothes dirty..." "You're right, I'll wash the ropes first..." "Then we won't be tying tonight, right?" Xiaoxi still held onto a sliver of hope. "...Then I can just dry them with a hairdryer." Hearing me say that, Xiaoxi's last shred of hope was extinguished, and she leaned back onto the other bed where there were no ropes. I took the three new bundles of ropes to the bathroom to wash them. I told Xiaoxi to watch TV for a while. I had originally intended to tie Xiaoxi up with the old ropes first, but then I thought it would be better to let her enjoy her freedom a little longer. After washing the ropes clean, I took the hairdryer provided in the hotel room and said to Xiaoxi, who was watching TV, "Why don't you take a shower first? Remember to get dressed after your shower." Xiaoxi agreed with my suggestion, jumped off the bed, and walked towards the bathroom. As she passed me, she didn't forget to whisper in my ear, "Pervert, hmph!" Then she entered the bathroom and locked the door. I sat on the chair by the window, patiently drying the ropes with the hairdryer. The sound of running water also came from the bathroom. After a while, I finished drying the ropes. I placed the hairdryer in front of the bathroom door, intending for Xiaoxi to use it to dry her hair after her shower. Girls always take a long time to shower, but Xiaoxi finally finished and came out, dressed neatly. A pink puff-sleeved knitted top, black leggings, a beautiful figure, and long, flowing hair – I was mesmerized. Xiaoxi walked over and sat on the bed, her face flushed, I wasn't sure if it was from just finishing her shower or something else. She glanced at me and said softly, "I'm done." Using a ten-meter rope, I first tied Xiaoxi's wrists in a cross shape, four horizontal and four vertical, just like before. Then I wrapped the rope around her waist to secure her hands. Next, I wound the rope upwards around her arms, tying several knots above and below her breasts. Then I gestured for Xiaoxi to extend her legs – Xiaoxi's legs were also very beautiful. I used the first five-meter rope to tie her thighs, and then with another five-meter rope, I first tied Xiaoxi's ankles in a cross and then tied the remaining rope around her calves. And so, the bound Xiaoxi was completed. "Alright, you're all tied up, Xiaoxi. Try to struggle a bit," I said. Xiaoxi tried to struggle. Her hands, tied behind her back and secured at her waist, along with the ropes on her thighs, calves, and ankles, were all very secure. I was quite impressed with myself for being able to tie her so well. "Chu Luo, you pervert, you used so much rope to tie me, I can't move at all," Xiaoxi complained as she struggled. Finally, she kicked her legs a few times and stopped struggling. "Are you satisfied now?" "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied," I said, smiling as I watched Xiaoxi lie with her legs stretched out against the headboard. Xiaoxi snorted and ignored me, focusing intently on the television. She occasionally shifted her position against the headboard, trying to find a more comfortable spot for her hands tied behind her back so they wouldn't be pressed. Her tightly bound legs would sometimes bend, sometimes straighten. For the next while, the scene was as follows: Xiaoxi, bound, watched television, while I sat on the other bed, quietly admiring the bound Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi would occasionally glance at me, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey... why are you always staring at me... It's making me feel a bit creeped out." "Because you're already beautiful. So pretty, so cute, and you have such a great figure." Hearing me praise her like that, Xiaoxi became a little embarrassed. "And besides, you look even better when you're tied up like this!" I slapped my forehead, my brain had just short-circuited. I thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll untie you..." "Finally, no more restraints?" Xiao Xi's eyes lit up as if she'd heard news of victory. "...After you finish using the restroom, I'll tie you up again," I continued leisurely. "I have to be tied up later too..." Xiao Xi said with disappointment. "Then I won't untie you, we'll just keep you tied up." "Sigh... Alright, alright." Xiao Xi sighed helplessly, but still compromised. So I stepped forward and untied the ropes on Xiao Xi, who patiently waited for me to loosen them. As soon as I removed the last rope from her body, Xiao Xi 'whooshed' and ran into the bathroom, looking like she'd been holding it for a long time... I originally thought she would hide in the bathroom for a long time to shorten the duration of her restraint, but she came out after only two minutes. Xiao Xi walked up to me, rolled up her sleeves, and showed me her wrists, saying, "Look at what you've done. Look at the marks you left. They're numb and itchy now, and my body and feet are the same!" I touched the rope marks on her hands and said, "This is normal. Wait here." With that, I ran into the bathroom, prepared a hot towel, wrung it out, and handed it to Xiao Xi: "Use this to apply a hot compress to your hands. Sit on that chair over there, and I'll rub your feet for you." Xiao Xi took the towel and obediently sat down. Because Xiao Xi was wearing leggings, it was difficult to apply a hot compress to her legs, so I thought of rubbing them to relieve the numb and itchy sensation. And so, I diligently massaged the rope marks on Xiao Xi's feet and also massaged her shoulders. "You've worked hard today," I said while massaging Xiao Xi's shoulders. "If you really think I've worked hard, then don't tie me up later," Xiao Xi pleaded. I glanced at the clock; it was already time for bed. Moreover, Xiao Xi had been tied up for so long, it would be too much to tie her up again. Sleeping while restrained would surely be uncomfortable for her, so I agreed. "Huh?" Xiao Xi was surprised that I agreed to her request so readily. "What, do you perhaps still want to be tied up?" I couldn't help but tease her again. Xiao Xi quickly denied it. "However, I won't tie you up tonight, but I will tomorrow." "I have to be tied up tomorrow too? How are you so perverted!" Xiao Xi pondered for a moment, then said with a blush, "Will you treat me to meals tomorrow then?" "Of course, I'll cover all three meals tomorrow, as long as you're willing to be tied up again," I promised. Xiao Xi struggled internally, but finally nodded in agreement. "Heh~~~ You're really interesting, willing to be tied up just for meals." "Man cannot live by bread alone, but exchanging another day of being tied up for three meals a day seems pretty worth it. And..." Xiao Xi suddenly lowered her head, blushing, and said softly, "Being tied up doesn't feel that bad after all..." Then, as if remembering something, Xiao Xi looked up and said to me: "But you're not allowed to tickle the soles of my feet and make me jump anymore! It's unbearable!" "Okay, no problem, pinky promise!" I extended my right pinky finger and Xiao Xi hooked hers with mine. "It's getting late, you should get some rest." Xiao Xi nodded, yawning, and climbed into her bed. Before Xiao Xi started undressing and getting under the covers, I consciously retreated into the bathroom, enjoyed a comfortable hot shower, and as I recalled the day's events, I felt as if I were dreaming. After my shower, Xiao Xi was already tucked in bed, but not yet asleep. Her head was resting on the headboard, as if waiting for me to come out. She watched me walk to my bed, and only shifted her gaze when she saw me preparing to take off my bathrobe. I got into bed, turned off the light, wished Xiao Xi goodnight, and prepared to sleep. "Chu Luo." "Hmm?" "Today... thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have really become a paid companion." "I should thank you too, for giving me the opportunity to tie up such a beautiful and cute girl like you." "I want to engrave this perverted face of yours firmly in my memory. I can't get you in reality, so I'll teach you a harsh lesson in my world." What a cute thing to say, I'm finding Xiao Xi more and more adorable. "Then I'm truly honored, hahahaha." "Hmph! Just you wait, you villain!" And so, Xiao Xi and I bantered and teased each other, and before we knew it, it was noon. "It's about time for lunch," I said, glancing at my watch. "Finally, it's time. Untie me quickly," Xiao Xi urged, shaking her bound body. "I'll buy something to eat today. You just wait here obediently." "Don't leave me here alone! I'm scared!" Xiao Xi began to plead again, but this time I wasn't going to listen. I grabbed the handkerchief from before and stuffed it into Xiao Xi's mouth, then secured it with tape. Next, I blindfolded her with a towel. Xiao Xi tried her best to dodge, but her vision was ultimately plunged into darkness. To prevent Xiao Xi from injuring herself by struggling while I was out buying lunch, I used the two ropes I had brought to tie her securely to the chair. Xiao Xi shook her head violently, making muffled "wooo wooo wooo" sounds from behind the gag, her hands struggling fiercely to break free from the restraints, but to no avail. I patted her head and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Before leaving, I quietly took a photo of Xiao Xi, then grabbed the room key, locked the door, and specifically instructed the front desk not to clean my room to avoid discovery. I felt exceptionally cheerful on my way to the restaurant. I ordered a few dishes that Xiao Xi had pointed out yesterday, then packed them up. Eagerly, I carried the food and practically ran back to the hotel. Opening the room door, I saw Xiao Xi leaning quietly against the chair, seemingly resting from her earlier struggles. "I'm back," I greeted her, placing the food on the table before approaching to remove the blindfold. As I got closer, I noticed two tear tracks beneath the towel. I quickly untied it. Xiao Xi, back in the light, saw me return and her tears flowed even more profusely. She cried and whimpered, her bound feet kicking at me. It was clear she was genuinely terrified. Leaving her tied up like this had truly frightened her. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I had no idea you were so scared." I apologized profusely and reached out to wipe away her tears, but Xiao Xi didn't accept it, turning her face away and kicking me with her outstretched legs, telling me to stay away. "I'm truly, truly sorry. I'm an asshole. I shouldn't have left you here alone. It's all my fault." I berated myself, even slapping myself twice. Then, I brought out the packed food and opened it for Xiao Xi to see. "Look, these are the dishes you ordered yesterday. Let's eat, okay?" For the sake of lunch, Xiao Xi stopped sulking. I removed the tape from her mouth and the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and then fed her bite by bite. Her earlier struggles seemed to have drained a lot of her energy, so Xiao Xi ate without hesitation, focusing solely on eating and not asking to be untied. After lunch, I wiped Xiao Xi's mouth clean, untied the ropes that secured her to the chair, and then carried her to the bed, propping her up against the headboard. I turned on the TV for her and fed her an apple. Perhaps still angry with me, Xiao Xi didn't say a word throughout this entire process. This silence continued until two in the afternoon. My guilt kept me from staring at Xiao Xi, and she simply watched the TV, occasionally moving her bound hands and feet. Finally, Xiao Xi broke the silence. "Chu Luo, I need to use the restroom," Xiao Xi said. Hearing her request, I began to untie the ropes on her. As I loosened them, I softly said, "I'm truly sorry..." Hearing my apology, Xiao Xi said, "Chu Luo, I was really scared. You just tied me up there and left me forever." Xiao Xi began to sob. "After you blindfolded me and left, there was no sound around me. That silence terrified me. I was afraid someone bad would break in..." Before Xiao Xi could finish, I hugged her from behind. "I'm sorry, truly sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone. I should have listened to you. It's all my fault, making you so upset." I kept apologizing, stroking Xiao Xi's head until she calmed down and stopped crying. I continued to untie the remaining ropes and rubbed the marks on her wrists. Because I had used a towel as padding, the marks were much lighter than yesterday. After being untied, Xiao Xi got up and went into the bathroom. She took quite a while, which I understood, as I had gone too far. After more than ten minutes, Xiao Xi emerged, having wiped her tears and washed her face. She looked much better. Xiao Xi walked over and sat in the chair where she had been tied, softly asking, "Chu Luo... um... do I still need to be tied..." I shook my head and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. We have to go back to the dorm later, and it wouldn't be good if my roommates saw the rope marks on me." Xiao Xi nodded in agreement. "And if you're willing," I stepped forward and knelt before her, looking up at her, "I'll cover your meals for the rest of the semester and your travel expenses back." Exhausted from the excitement and the effort of holding back, I drifted off to sleep without realizing it. When I opened my eyes, it was already morning. "Good morning, you wicked Chu," Xiao Xi greeted me. "Good morning." I kissed her forehead. "Seeing you the moment I open my eyes makes me feel so incredibly happy." Xiao Xi bit her lip shyly. "You always know what to say. Come on, get up, you need to untie me." "Let's keep you tied up today too," I teased, nudging her nose with mine. "Don't even think about it. I've been tied up for so long, hurry and untie me. I really can't take it if you keep me bound," Xiao Xi pleaded, squirming and acting spoiled. Seeing that I was unmoved, she grew a little angry. "If you don't untie me, I won't let you tie me up anymore." "Alright then, at least let me help you brush your teeth and comb your hair," I said, clasping my hands together and begging her. Xiao Xi pouted and frowned. After a moment of watching my earnest plea, she relented. "Fine, fine. I'm really giving in to you." "You're the best, Xiao Xi." Gratefully, I kissed her, then got out of bed, dressed, picked her up, draped a jacket over her, and carried her to the bathroom. I squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush and gently helped her brush her teeth and rinse her mouth. "What did you even brush? I'll have to re-brush it later!" Xiao Xi complained after rinsing. "We'll talk about that later." With that, I turned her to face the mirror and began to comb her hair. This time, Xiao Xi didn't complain. After I finished styling her hair, I untied Xiao Xi. "Mmm... finally free..." she murmured, rubbing her wrists and stretching her shoulders before going to re-brush her teeth. I, meanwhile, started preparing breakfast. Since she had been tied up all night, we didn't tie her up during breakfast. Looking at the lingering rope marks on her wrists, which stirred my imagination and also made me feel a pang of sympathy, I decided not to tie her up today. "Let's go out for a walk later," Xiao Xi suggested. I nodded. "Sure, you pick the place. If we stay home all day, I might get the urge to tie you up again." "I think it's not 'might,' it's 'definitely.' You pervert," Xiao Xi pointed out. "To avoid you constantly tying me up, I'll have to drag you out more often." "I only tied you up for one night, and I had already decided not to tie you today..." "Oh, go on. Who knows when you'll change your mind," Xiao Xi chided. "I'm going to change. You get dressed quickly too, we're going out." We walked and talked, Xiao Xi's arms linked through mine. This felt so different from when she was bound. The contact, the transfer of warmth, filled me with happiness. Xiao Xi pulled me along, looking at this and that. She was naturally a girl who loved to explore. Looking at her, I felt I had been too selfish. Although Xiao Xi was accustomed to being tied up by me, she still enjoyed this freedom, being able to hold my arm and wander around. Xiao Xi was willing to make sacrifices, to indulge my desire to bind her as much as possible. But I couldn't let myself go and keep her bound all the time. If I went too far and hurt her, physically or mentally, I would never forgive myself. Such a wonderful girl, whom I loved and who loved me back, I should cherish her more, protect her more. I absolutely could not treat Xiao Xi as a doll to satisfy my binding urges. I confessed to Xiao Xi, who was leaning on my shoulder, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xi. I've been too selfish, only thinking about tying you up all day to satisfy my desires. I should consider your feelings more." "Huh?" Xiao Xi was clearly surprised by my sudden apology. "Why are you suddenly talking about this?" "Because I think you still like to travel, to go out and wander around, to be free," I explained my thoughts. Xiao Xi didn't commit. She beckoned me closer. "Let me tell you a secret," she whispered in my ear. "I like being tied up by you." My eyes widened. I stared at Xiao Xi in disbelief. I had thought she was merely accustomed to being bound by me, but I never expected she had actually come to enjoy it. Xiao Xi smiled at me, her enchanting smile assuring me she wasn't lying. I didn't know what to say, just stared at her blankly. "What I just said, I'll only say it once, because..." Xiao Xi lowered her head. "It's too embarrassing..." "Then... you still like freedom, right? You like to go out and explore..." Xiao Xi's unexpected words left me somewhat flustered. "Mmm. I used to," Xiao Xi nodded. "Now... it's being with you. If I go anywhere without you, it doesn't feel interesting. And..." Xiao Xi blushed. "Being tied up by you, being gently cared for by you... even though I say I can't stand it, I always think, just like this, tied up by you, leaning on your shoulder, I feel so secure..." "Then let's go back, and I'll tie you up again... *oof*..." Before I could finish, Xiao Xi punched me in the stomach. "Pervert!" Xiao Xi cursed softly, rolling up her sleeve. "The rope marks haven't even faded, and you want to tie me up again!" "N-no... you said... you liked being tied up by me..." I said, clutching my stomach, my words broken. "But you can't keep me tied up all the time." This girl, she changes so fast... Xiao Xi helped me up, gently rubbing my stomach. She whispered, "Let's tie me up tonight... I want to sleep with you like last night..." My heart swelled with joy. I felt so lucky to have met Xiao Xi. "I love you," I blurted out involuntarily. Xiao Xi's face flushed red. Linking her arm through mine, she rested her head on my shoulder, and we continued our aimless stroll. "So, when Chu Luo isn't around, do you tie yourself up?" Xiao Xi shook her head repeatedly. I had also considered this question and realized that since I met Xiao Xi, we've almost always been together, except for a few days during Chinese New Year when we visited our respective families. "Have you ever seen other girls being tied up?" "I've only seen myself being tied up," Xiao Xi replied truthfully. After asking, Zhou Ting nodded thoughtfully, maintaining her previous posture. "This whole binding thing," she said, pulling her backpack over and taking out several bundles of rope, handing them to me, "might actually be addictive..." "What... do you want to do?" I raised my hands, not taking the ropes. "I didn't originally like bondage; I only became a rope model because it paid well. If I hadn't seen Xiao Xi tied up today, I wouldn't have realized how uncomfortable it feels when the rope wraps around your arms but isn't actually binding you." Zhou Ting forced the ropes into my hands and clasped them behind her back. "Please tie me up." Zhou Ting's behavior astonished me, but I suddenly remembered what I had said before. "No, I can't tie you." "Why?" Zhou Ting looked confused. "Why wouldn't you want to tie a girl who's willingly asking you to?" "It's a promise and a vow." I threw the ropes onto the other bed and glanced back at Xiao Xi, who was smiling brilliantly, her eyes filled with emotion. "Besides Xiao Xi, I won't tie any other girls," I said. "Alright then," Zhou Ting smiled. "Can Xiao Xi tie me?" "Of course!" Xiao Xi exclaimed excitedly, immediately sitting up in bed. "Chu Luo, just help Xiao Xi untie the ropes on her upper body. In the meantime, I'll tie my own legs," Zhou Ting said. "You can tie yourself up?" Xiao Xi asked as she had me untie the ropes behind her hands. "The photographer often has me tie my feet first while he sets up his equipment." Zhou Ting unfurled a rope and draped it over her ankles. "These ropes are from his studio. I originally intended to keep them as spares for you, but I didn't expect to use them on myself." Just like that, while I was helping Xiao Xi untie the ropes on her upper body, Zhou Ting had already tied her jeans-clad legs and removed her shoes. Her ankles, calves, and thighs were bound tightly. Xiao Xi flexed her wrists, moved her tied legs off the bed, and stood up. Zhou Ting, holding a rope, hopped over and handed it to Xiao Xi, turning around with her hands behind her back. "Bad Chu..." Xiao Xi unfurled the rope, looking at me for help. I smiled and shook my head, walking over to Xiao Xi to guide her in tying Zhou Ting. Xiao Xi was very clever, and under my guidance, she tied Zhou Ting in a Japanese bondage style. Having completed her task, Xiao Xi also willingly put her hands behind her back and was tied up by me again. Now, the two bound girls writhed on their respective beds, while I watched them quietly. "Hey, Bad Chu, shouldn't we go buy some food? It's almost noon," Xiao Xi said, turning her face to me. I glanced at my watch; it was just past eleven. I stood up, picked up a towel, and walked towards Xiao Xi. "Don't!" Just as I was about to reach Xiao Xi, she pushed her tied legs against my stomach and said, "I want to chat with senior sister. Don't cover my mouth!" I glanced at Zhou Ting, who was leaning against the headboard, watching me silently. I must admit, Zhou Ting looked incredibly beautiful when she was tied up. "Alright," I said, tossing the towel aside. "You two chat, I'll go find you some food~" With that, I gently kissed Xiao Xi's lips. Xiao Xi bit her lower lip and smiled at me. "Ahem," Zhou Ting coughed lightly from the side, likely unable to bear it any longer. She was reminding me to leave quickly. When I returned to the room half an hour later, the sound of the television greeted me as soon as I entered. These two girls were something else, managing to turn on the TV while tied up. I thought to myself as I walked into the room. "I'm back," I called out. I saw the two bound girls sitting on one bed, Xiao Xi reclining at the foot of the bed, and Zhou Ting leaning against the headboard. Seeing them both beaming with smiles, looking relaxed and at ease, they seemed like close girlfriends, or perhaps they were simply enjoying the sensation of being bound. "Little Xi, you're not planning on staying tied up forever, are you?" I felt like Little Xi was getting more and more into bondage. "I want to see how long I can last being tied up." "Then you should get dressed properly, it's not good to catch a cold." "Mmm..." Little Xi thought for a moment, "Okay~" Untying the ropes, she put on her maid outfit again. After washing up, Little Xi went to pick up the ropes herself. This time, however, she didn't hand them to me but started tying her own feet. "You said before that prolonged illness makes one a doctor. Let's see if I can tie my own legs properly this time," Little Xi said, mimicking how I tied her legs. She skillfully tied her ankles, then her knees, and then her thighs. "Look!" Little Xi patted her tied legs, straightened them, and shook them. "Did I tie them well?" I gave Little Xi a thumbs-up and said, "Not bad, even neater than when I tied them." "Hehe~~ Now let's see when I'll sneakily tie you up again and you won't be able to untie yourself, hmph!" Little Xi said provocatively. "Haha, that's impossible now! Ha! Ha! Ha!" I laughed, hands on my hips like a villain in a movie. "You never know. Alright, let's get started," Little Xi urged me to tie her. Little Xi placed her hands flat behind her back. It seemed this girl wanted a Japanese-style bondage, so I'd oblige! As usual, I had Little Xi lean against the headboard. Looking at Little Xi in her maid outfit, with her thigh-high socks, and her legs tied tightly by herself, I found my gaze unable to move away. "Chu the hooligan, why are you staring at my legs like that!" "Because your legs are beautiful, especially with the thigh-highs on, and tied so nicely." As I spoke, my eyes continued to roam over Little Xi's legs. "Hmph, pervert." "It's all your fault that you've turned me into a leg fetishist..." I teased. "Hmph, excuses," Little Xi turned her face away. I quietly leaned close to Little Xi's face and poked her cheek. "What is it?" Little Xi turned her face back, and I kissed her. "You're so annoying..." Little Xi pouted, "Okay, go buy breakfast, I'm hungry." "Um... can I gag you too? Is that okay?" I asked tentatively. "..." Little Xi frowned. "Just don't use that ball." With her consent, I found a small handkerchief in the bathroom, folded it, and Little Xi obligingly opened her mouth. I gently, slowly, stuffed the handkerchief into her mouth. "Mmmph..." Little Xi grunted twice, then shook her head towards the door. I knew she was urging me to go buy breakfast. "Hehehehe~~~" I approached Xiao Xi with a wicked grin, rubbing my hands together like a perverted rogue. Xiao Xi, playing along perfectly, struggled and whined pitifully, "You wicked man, what are you going to do... Let me go quickly..." "Since I've brought you here, why would I let you go back?" As I said this, I sat down on the lounge chair and opened my backpack. Xiao Xi, with great curiosity, propped herself up on her hands and peered into the bag. "Wow... it's all ropes..." Xiao Xi exclaimed. "And this too." I pulled a gag from the bag and dangled it before Xiao Xi's eyes. "This thing really messed me up last time." It seemed Xiao Xi remembered vividly. Last time in the hotel, the gag had made her drool excessively. After that, Xiao Xi always felt it was incredibly embarrassing and made her lose all composure. "But Xiao Xi, the way you panicked last time was also very cute." I said. "That's because I'm naturally cute, okay!" Xiao Xi protested. "Such a little narcissist." I flicked her nose, and Xiao Xi responded with a playful grimace. "Alright, with all these ropes, how do you plan to torment me this time?" Xiao Xi lay back down and said, "This young lady is in a great mood today, so I'll let you do whatever you want~~~" Good heavens... Xiao Xi today was like a strange switch had been flipped. With such an open mindset, I could barely recognize the Xiao Xi before me. Xiao Xi smiled faintly and slowly writhed her bound legs, appearing exceptionally alluring. I was already burning with desire. "Now, devour her!" such thoughts swirled in my mind. "No! I promised her the most romantic first time!" another voice chimed in, guarding the last shred of my sanity. "Chu the Bad Guy, what's wrong?" Perhaps sensing my abnormal behavior, Xiao Xi's smile faded, replaced by a hint of concern, and she subconsciously shifted her body. I gazed at the ropes around Xiao Xi's chest, the curves they accentuated, her tightly bound legs. My eyes greedily roamed up and down. "Chu Luo?" Xiao Xi's gentle voice finally broke through my last vestiges of reason. I tossed the backpack aside, grasped Xiao Xi's shoulders, and kissed her lips directly. Xiao Xi was slightly startled by the sudden kiss but quickly regained her composure and reciprocated. I pressed her down beneath me. Xiao Xi looked up at me, biting her lip, her face flushing an unprecedented red. I caressed Xiao Xi, starting from her face, down her neck. As my fingertips brushed against her breasts, Xiao Xi's breathing grew rapid. However, the ropes on her legs became the biggest obstacle. The bindings around her thighs, knees, and ankles made me wish I had a pair of scissors to cut them all off. "Chu Luo... I... want... to hold you..." Xiao Xi's weak voice reached my ears. I looked up at her, and in her eyes, I saw myself... a beast unleashed. Looking into Xiao Xi's eyes, I finally regained a sliver of rationality and untied the ropes around her hands. As soon as Xiao Xi's hands were free, and before the ropes were even removed from her body, I began to untie the bindings around her ankles. Xiao Xi threw the remaining ropes aside and joined me in untying the bindings on her legs. "Chu Luo..." Xiao Xi hugged me, her fingertips lightly tracing the back of my neck. The sensation was like an electric shock, but it also made my movements gentler. We met each other's gaze, kissed. My left hand intertwined with Xiao Xi's right, while my right hand brushed aside strands of hair from her face, revealing a hint of her collarbone. "Xiao Xi... I love you..." That afternoon, the weather was clear and fine. "Chu Luo..." Xiao Xi and I lay embraced on the lounge chair. Xiao Xi whispered in my ear. "Mmm?" I softly replied. Xiao Xi smiled sweetly, looking at me with eyes full of love. "If you want, you can tie me up again~~" Xiao Xi said. "Like I said, I'm at your disposal today." "Right now, I just want to hold you like this." "You're so mean..." Though she said it, Xiao Xi still rested her head in my embrace. "Oh? So you *do* want to be tied up?" I teased. "Being tied up and then held... that's also acceptable..." Xiao Xi drew circles on my chest with her finger.

Xiao Xi's words pierced my heart. Her tone held no hint of perfunctory politeness or anger, and the blush spreading across her face confirmed it. "A very satisfactory answer. I won't press further." After rinsing Xiao Xi's mouth, I sealed it again. Of course, I played a little trick this time. I picked up a gag, not a handkerchief. Xiao Xi was quite muddled and didn't question it, just opened her mouth. Only after it was inserted and secured did she realize something was wrong. "Mmmph mmmph!" Xiao Xi shook her head, glaring at me. "Oops! I grabbed the wrong thing..." I chuckled, scratching my head. "But it looks pretty good on you. Want me to take a picture?" I snapped a photo with my phone and showed it to her. Xiao Xi glanced at it, then turned her head away with a long "Mmmph—", leaning against my shoulder. The day's arrangements were simple: Xiao Xi was bound, and I held her. However, a small interlude occurred. "Mmmph mmmph mmmph!!!" Xiao Xi suddenly kicked her legs violently, her bound limbs slapping against the bed and then against my leg. "What's wrong?" I instinctively tried to sit up but felt Xiao Xi's upper body freeze. I looked down and saw that her saliva was starting to overflow from the gag's opening, dripping down her chin. Xiao Xi leaned against me rigidly, her teary eyes fixed on me as a drop of saliva fell with a "plop." "Mmmph..." Xiao Xi's face flushed as if it could bleed, while I grinned and wiped away her drool with a tissue. Thinking the prank had gone far enough, I removed the gag. "You bad guy, it's all your fault!" she said, turning away to lie on her side, her bound hands still facing me. Xiao Xi seemed to realize this and turned back, only to find it still wasn't right. Her face was red, her lips were slightly bitten, and a trace of clear saliva still clung to the corner of her mouth. "Annoying!" she huffed, turning away again. "Xiao Xi is the cutest. I'm sorry I made you look a little silly, but you're still incredibly, incredibly cute in my eyes. I won't dislike you just because you drooled a bit." "Hmph!" Xiao Xi gave me a few half-hearted kicks with her legs, then stopped. I got up and wiped the corner of her mouth. Though Xiao Xi still had her back to me, she didn't struggle, obediently letting me clean her up. Then she opened her mouth again and let out a soft "Ah—." This time, I wouldn't use the gag. I obediently and slowly inserted the handkerchief into Xiao Xi's mouth. Afterward, Xiao Xi resumed her position, leaning against my shoulder. Dinner was much like lunch, but after dinner, I unbound Xiao Xi. "You've been tied up for so long." Xiao Xi rubbed her wrists, and I massaged the parts of her legs that had been bound. "Yes, why? Do you think you could endure more?" I asked. "Haha, yes. How about we find another opportunity next time to try again?" Xiao Xi once again proactively expressed her desire to be bound. "Alright, I'd be delighted." "But that gag... if you can figure out a way to stop me from drooling, I'll agree to wear it!" I paused for a moment and said, "Uh... alright." "Oh, and next time, remember to bring your laptop. That way, we can watch movies or surf the internet." "Still thinking about the internet even when you're tied up," I said, flicking Xiao Xi's nose.
