At noon, Su Yun accompanied Qin Xue for lunch as usual, and the two of them spent the afternoon studying together.
On the surface, everything seemed normal. But with a closer look, one could notice something was off.
“Xiaoyun, why are you sitting over there? It’s so cold. Come sit next to me.”
“Um, no need…”
Qin Xue reached out to pull Su Yun closer, but was gently rejected.
The table in the room wasn’t very big, and instead of sitting across from her as usual, Su Yun deliberately slid over to the wall-side seat.
Giving her space to study?
No… Qin Xue didn’t think that was the reason.
Since noon, she had already sensed that Su Yun was acting strangely.
It seemed like… she was avoiding her?
Qin Xue frowned. By all logic, they should be in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Sticking together all day wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Could it be that Xiaoyun actually didn’t like her?
Trying to get to the bottom of it, Qin Xue couldn’t concentrate on studying at all. She kept glancing at Su Yun from the corner of her eye.
That tiny hand, those silky white strands of hair, the adorably petite and soft curves in front...
She really wanted to push her down on the bed.
“No, no! Stop it.”
Qin Xue had only stared for a little while before she nearly drooled. She shook her head vigorously to clear her thoughts.
Just then, she realized Su Yun was looking her way.
Those cute little eyes seemed to be asking, “What are you doing?”
“Hehe, it’s nothing. Keep studying, Xiaoyun.”
Qin Xue smiled sheepishly and quickly looked down, pretending to study with her pen in hand.
“Oh…”
Once Su Yun lowered her head again, Qin Xue resumed her sneaky peeks.
Come to think of it, wasn’t Xiaoyun still a little rookie?
She must be seeing that kind of thing for the first time, right?
Qin Xue stared at her own long nails, falling into thought.
Better trim them tonight.
As her thoughts wandered, a dreamy expression appeared on Qin Xue’s face.
It really wasn’t just a saying—girls could be more lustful than boys, especially when it came to the ones they loved.
Qin Xue’s imagination ran wild, and in just a few minutes, she mentally traveled all the way to the bathhouse of fantasies.
And in her heart, only one thought remained—
“Next time, I’m definitely going to bully Xiaoyun real good!”
“Xiaoyun, are you studying?”
Re-entering the room, Qin Xue, feeling a bit overheated, couldn’t resist sneaking up behind Su Yun and poking her.
“Ah—! I-I’m studying, what’s wrong…”
Su Yun’s voice was noticeably flustered.
She turned her head cautiously, worried that Qin Xue might catch her not studying.
Eh…?
But that glance revealed the girl’s flushed cheeks.
Qin Xue’s seductive appearance made Su Yun’s heart race wildly.
“Mhm, I’m going to study too now.”
Qin Xue returned to her seat.
“Okay…”
But wasn’t she already studying just now? Why say that again?
Su Yun couldn’t figure it out and lowered her head again, her thoughts in disarray.
Her body was feeling oddly hot and sensitive, especially from that poke Qin Xue gave her earlier. She had almost cried out loud.
Now, she didn’t even dare look at Qin Xue…
Just one glance made it hard to breathe.
“Ugh, why am I like this…”
That strange yet quiet atmosphere lasted until about six in the evening.
Even though the curtains were drawn, the faint light filtering through revealed that it had already grown dark outside.
Su Yun looked at the grey curtains reflecting the room’s lights and knew night had fallen.
“Sister Xue, I’ll go make dinner.”
Just like during lunch, she spoke and ran off right after.
But again, Qin Xue followed soon after, and the two cooked together.
“Xiaoyun, let me help you carry that.”
In the kitchen, Su Yun was placing the cooked dishes onto plates.
As she reached out to grab one of the plates, Qin Xue extended her hand to help—
—and ended up touching the soft, pale hand already holding the dish.
“Ahh! … Thank you.”
Su Yun instantly recoiled, as if she’d been shocked.
Qin Xue furrowed her brows, carefully observing her every movement.
Very soon, she noticed a rosy hue blooming across Xiaoyun’s fair cheeks.
Was she just shy? Or maybe just tired from cooking?
To test her theory, Qin Xue spent the entire dinner finding excuses to touch Su Yun.
Like claiming she was too hot and needed a hug to cool down, or saying rice had fallen on her chest and needed help picking it off—
As long as there was physical contact, Su Yun’s cheeks would turn red without fail.
So that was why she’d been avoiding her all day?
Qin Xue finally pieced it together and couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
Was it innocence… or was it something else?
Even holding hands had become a challenge.
To stop her Little Yun from escaping again, after washing the dishes, Qin Xue decisively grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her onto the bed.
“Sister Xue… what are you doing…”
Su Yun lowered her head timidly, her voice soft and fragile.
“What am I doing?”
Qin Xue looked at the tiny girl beside her, a mischievous smile blooming on her face.
“We’re officially a couple now. Don’t you think it’s time we tried something… intimate?”
“Something like what?”
The girl tilted her head, asking innocently.
“Well, something normal between girlfriends~”
Qin Xue couldn’t help teasing when she saw Xiaoyun’s clean and delicate face.
And with just those few words, Su Yun’s face turned bright red like a ripe tomato.
“D-Do… Sister Xue, what are you saying… I-I don’t want to!”
Su Yun panicked and shot to her feet.
That flustered reaction only made Qin Xue more excited.
But she decided not to go too far—for now. If she scared her off, it’d be game over.
“Alright, alright. Here, take this.”
“Sit down. I have something for us to do.”
“Uuu… It’s not that kind of thing, right…”
Su Yun still hesitated, clearly on the verge of fleeing.
“No, it’s not.”
Qin Xue sighed helplessly.
Once Su Yun finally sat down beside her, Qin Xue took out her phone.
“Come on, Xiaoyun, make a heart for the camera.”
“Huh? What is this?”
“I’ll show you.”
Soon, under Qin Xue’s guidance, Su Yun managed to form a half-heart with her fingers.
In the photo, two blushing girls were pressed closely together.
Each of them formed one side of a heart with their fingers, creating a full heart between them.
“Sister Xue, what are you doing…”
Afterward, Su Yun noticed that Qin Xue was still fiddling with her phone, and grew suspicious.
Was she sending the photo to someone?
“All done! I posted it on my Moments~”
“Eh?!”
Qin Xue held the phone up to her.
It was the picture they had just taken, posted with a caption:
“My shy little baby~”
Su Yun stared at it, speechless.
Did this mean… Sister Xue just made their relationship public?
“Alright, Xiaoyun, your turn. You have to post one too!”
“Uuu…”
Though she bowed her head in embarrassment, Su Yun still followed through.
In truth, she kind of liked it—letting others know that Sister Xue was her girlfriend now.
But then she suddenly realized… she’d forgotten to set her privacy settings.
How did she realize?
Someone liked the post.
Thank you very much, one of her male classmates from high school.
(New message)
(Thank you very much: “666”)
Oh no!
Su Yun immediately deleted the post in a panic, then blocked all her classmates and teachers before posting again.
“Xiaoyun, are you done?”
Suddenly, Qin Xue leaned over, nearly scaring her out of her skin.
Thankfully, her reflexes were fast enough.
“All done…”
“My little pig…”
Xiaoyun, what did you mean by that?
Qin Xue frowned at the caption and leaned over to scold her.
“Uuu, it’s because you’re always sleeping in… It just came to mind. If you don’t like it, I’ll delete and rewrite it.”
Su Yun curled up into the corner of the bed, looking pitiful.
“No need. Xiaoyun can write whatever she wants.”
Su Yun took the phone, ready to scroll down—only for Qin Xue to snatch it back.
“Sister Xue, what are you—mmph.”
Before she could react, soft lips sealed hers.
And up front, her chest was being completely flattened by something big and squishy.
Su Yun felt like her soul almost left her body.
So this… is what being in love feels like? It’s painful…
But she didn’t hate it.
…
That night, after extracting “energy” from Xiaoyun, Qin Xue studied with remarkable motivation.
The two of them studied all the way from seven till eleven before finally going to bed.
As expected, Su Yun was embraced in Qin Xue’s arms again like a human pillow.
She never thought much of it before, but tonight, being held by Sister Xue filled her with happiness.
Sister Xue was so warm.
Nestled in her soft arms, Su Yun opened her phone to check her messages before sleeping.
Zhou Yiyi had sent 99 messages—at first she thought she was getting cyberbullied or something.
Then there were her parents, which was normal.
But among them, Su Yun noticed a message from Qin Xin.
At first, the texts were ordinary. But later…
(Qin Xin: “Eat more pineapple and apples. That way it’ll taste sweeter.”)
(Qin Xin: “If Miss wants to do something inappropriate to you, don’t agree too easily.”)
What followed were a bunch of emotional advice messages.
The gist: Resist to ignite desire, then prepare for a full frontal assault.
What the hell was all this?
Su Yun didn’t even bother replying. She just turned off the screen and tossed the phone aside.
Things don’t happen that fast anyway. They had only just started dating.
Besides… could that even fit?
Just one touch earlier already made her…
Still, she was curious.
She carefully slipped her hand down her clothes, trying not to wake Qin Xue.
“……”
“Ah! Wah—!”
Just one touch, and she let out a yelp, like a naughty girl being scolded.
Then she instantly curled up like a turtle, retreating into the covers.
“Xiaoyun… what’s wrong…”
Qin Xue’s sleepy voice sounded confused. She must’ve been woken up.
“Uuu, it’s nothing!”
“….”
As expected, better leave this kind of thing for later!
Sister Xue definitely wasn’t that kind of person.
And so, on the first night of officially being a couple, Su Yun already found herself worrying about the future.
