“What? Boyfriend?!” Su Yun panicked for a moment, thinking that maybe Qin Xue had discovered she was actually a guy. But after a second, she realized what the girl really meant.
She glanced sideways and saw Qin Xue looking at her with a playful smirk.
“You're teasing me again, aren't you…” Su Yun lowered her head, choosing not to respond.
“Sister Xiaoyun~ come on, say it~” Seeing that Su Yun stayed quiet, Qin Xue leaned over and hugged her from the side.
“!”
The moment she hugged her, Su Yun’s arm was enveloped in softness, completely immobilized.
The thick coat Qin Xue wore only exaggerated the curves, and the contact made Su Yun even more flustered—she didn’t dare say a word.
Seeing that, Qin Xue only pressed in closer, resting her body against Su Yun’s shoulder.
“Why aren’t you talking? Are you embarrassed?” She whispered teasingly into Su Yun’s ear, her warm breath brushing over her reddened earlobe.
The scent of Qin Xue’s perfume, her sultry voice, and the burning softness pressed against her—all of it sent Su Yun’s nerves into overdrive.
She could no longer focus on what was being said. Her mind felt like it was on fire—she just wanted to escape.
Su Yun shifted her arm a little, and immediately felt herself squeeze against something.
“…”
Woman, are you playing with fire?!
You’re not even my girlfriend, yet you tempt me like this every day.
And you still treat me like your little sister… If you end up with some guy in the future, I think I’ll lose it.
Su Yun fell silent. Her cheeks were still flushed, but now, something else burned in her chest—courage.
Meanwhile, Qin Xue continued to smile sweetly as she held Su Yun tightly.
Because her whole face was beet red. She was too embarrassed to even speak.
So cute~
“Have you decided yet, Sister Xiaoyun? Hm~? Which one of us is the boyfriend~?”
Qin Xue’s voice turns syrupy and playful, laced with a delicate chuckle.
If the boys at school heard her like this, none of them would be able to resist.
And in this small, quiet room where no one else could see them… a school beauty initiating physical contact like this—it would drive almost anyone insane.
Su Yun was already struggling to hold back.
But what made her crack was not the teasing. It was the injustice.
“…”
“I’m the boyfriend. Call me hubby.”
Su Yun took a deep breath, lifted her flushed face, and looked her straight in the eyes.
Qin Xue looked down at Su Yun, her whole chest pressing tightly against her, radiating pressure.
“Huh?”
But Qin Xue froze at Su Yun’s declaration.
So Sister Xiaoyun really had the guts to say that?
“…”
Qin Xue had originally planned to casually call her “hubby” again just to tease her, like before.
But now, she found herself… a little shy.
“What’s wrong, Sister Xue? Cat got your tongue? Weren’t you just saying I’m the one who's shy? Looks like you’re no different.” Su Yun tried to sound composed, but her cheeks only turned redder. Come on, let’s see who’s really braver—let’s go right now, here on the edge of the bed. You keep teasing me, but then don’t take responsibility. Hmph.”
As Su Yun’s mocking words fell, Qin Xue bit her lower lip, like she was building up to something.
“…Hubby~”
“???”
A beautiful girl, right in front of her, just sweetly called her “hubby” in that soft, sugary voice.
Combined with her blushing face, Su Yun was stunned.
“Look, there’s only the two of us in this room. Hubby, aren’t you going to do something to me?”
Qin Xue whispered words a wife might say to her husband. As she finished, her face was now just as red as Su Yun’s.
While speaking, she even leaned closer, tugging at the collar of her clothes and showing Su Yun a little more than necessary.
“???”
Su Yun immediately turned her head away, staring hard at the wall.
Her jaw dropped from shock.
Another second and she probably would’ve started drooling.
“N-No, this isn’t…!”
Sister Xue, you're going way too far…
Su Yun gulped and turned back to Qin Xue, only to find that the look in her eyes had changed completely.
Soft, dreamy, loving.
She really looked like she had stepped fully into the role of being her wife.
“Hubby~ Let’s give Auntie a grandchild~”
Qin Xue twisted her waist beside Su Yun, her movements brushing against Su Yun’s thigh.
“!”
“…”
That was the final straw.
Su Yun felt like all the blood in her body had rushed to her head. She was dizzy, her vision swimming.
“Ugh…”
Then… she fainted, collapsing sideways onto the bed.
“Sister Xiaoyun!”
…
…
And in that faint, Su Yun had a rare, beautiful dream.
“Hehehe…”
She dreamt of a strange world where she wore a vintage white dress, and three little girls giggled as they ran in circles around her.
Those girls looked oddly familiar, though she couldn’t quite place them.
Until… a woman with a large belly stepped out from the house.
“Hubby~”
The woman smiled at her with radiant joy and the soft glow of maternal love.
Only then did Su Yun realize why those girls had seemed familiar.
…
“Ugh…”
Back in the quiet room, the only sound was the soft whimpering of a girl.
Qin Xue sat at the edge of the bed, staring down at her unconscious Xiaoyun, her face pale and her eyes red from crying.
The moment she saw Su Yun faint, she panicked and rushed to hold her.
Usually, if Su Yun passed out, she’d wake up after a few calls.
But this time, even after ten whole minutes, there was still no response.
Could… could someone really faint just from being too embarrassed?
Qin Xue had nearly lost it.
She was on the verge of tears as she called 120.
But this town was far from the hospital, and even twenty minutes later, the ambulance still hadn’t arrived.
If she’d known Su Yun’s body was this fragile, she would’ve never made those jokes.
It was just… When Su Yun teased her, she got competitive.
She didn’t want to lose to her.
And then…
“Ugh…”
Qin Xue sniffled, wiping her eyes as tears spilled down and landed on Su Yun’s fair cheeks.
“Hehehe…”
But just then, Su Yun giggled in her sleep.
She looked completely blissful, like she’d just had a very sweet dream.
“Sister Xiaoyun!”
Qin Xue instantly snapped out of her daze. The emptiness in her eyes faded away as she scrambled from the bed and knelt at Su Yun’s side.
She gently cupped her cheek.
“Sister Xiaoyun, can you hear me? Can you hear me?”
“…Touch… hehe…”
Su Yun lay there smiling, completely out of it—her expression a stark contrast to the worried and pale Qin Xue beside her.
Anyone who didn’t know what happened might’ve thought one of them was mentally unstable.
