"What the..." Just as the two were lost in their emotions, a pair of shocked eyes appeared outside the door, as if they were about to pop out.
"Qin Xue, what are you doing?"
"!?" An unfamiliar voice came from the doorway, making Su Yun's body freeze as she instantly scrambled out of Qin Xue's embrace.
She saw the person at the door, wearing black glasses, with neat and formal attire that gave off an intimidating presence.
"..." Qin Xue felt the softness disappear from her arms, then slowly turned her head to coldly look at this 'stranger' she hadn't seen in two years.
"Sister."
Sister?
Hearing Qin Xue address her this way, Su Yun's heart instantly jumped to her throat.
Her body trembling, she didn't dare look at the person.
Qin Xue had said that her sister was like a feudal and stern middle-aged woman, and if she wasn't studying, she would definitely be kicked out.
And what they had just been doing...
For a moment, the bedroom was extremely quiet, so quiet it made one's heart feel cold.
"Qin Xue, didn't you say you were studying? Yet you're doing this kind of thing?" Qin Yao's tone sounded very calm.
But Qin Xue knew that she was very angry right now.
She had no doubt that her sister would call their mother right now and tell her to stop studying.
For a moment, Qin Xue also became afraid, regretting what she couldn't help but do just now.
In that situation earlier, she couldn't hear sounds from outside at all and didn't realize someone had come in.
But wait, hadn't she said she wasn't coming today?
"We weren't doing anything."
"Weren't doing anything? Qin Xue, do you still want to study or not? Mother trusts you so much, yet you're doing this kind of thing..."
"That's not trust..." Qin Xue's voice was very low.
Su Yun watched this scene and didn't think about shrinking back. She swallowed.
"Sister, actually it was me who asked Sister Xue to kiss me. I do this with my close female friends too, it's nothing."
She stood up and walked in front of the woman whose calm expression was terrifying.
"..." But Qin Yao completely ignored her.
"Servants, throw this woman out." Qin Yao just shouted toward the main hall.
Soon, the four maids from before appeared at the door. (One had gone to take Xia Rou home)
"Miss, this..." The maids hesitated slightly after discovering the situation.
"Throw her out. She's affecting Third Miss's studies." After saying this, Qin Yao turned and left her sister.
Orders could not be disobeyed. Qin Xue could only watch helplessly as Su Yun was taken away.
With Su Yun's strength, even if they wanted to take her away, they couldn't, but Su Yun didn't used her strength, and Qin Xue stood there, wanting to help but unable to move.
"Don't take me away, Qin Xue and I are friends!"
"Friends, haha."
"If you're really Qin Xue's friend, then stay away from her. What you're doing will only harm her. That kind of thing between you two will never be allowed," Qin Yao said without changing her expression. "You can leave on your own."
"You... we're not that kind of relationship." Su Yun didn't know what to say upon hearing this.
Given her family background and current physical situation, if she really got into a confirmed relationship with Qin Xue, it would indeed harm her. The other person was right.
But...
"Little Sister Yun, you should go first. Let me talk to her alone."
Qin Xue came out of the room and placed her hand on Su Yun's shoulder.
"No." Su Yun looked up, unable to tell if Qin Xue was sad or what, only feeling that she also looked very calm like that person.
She didn't want to leave.
"..."
"Make her leave quickly so we can have a proper talk, or I'll tell mother right now." Qin Yao urged from the side.
"Don't worry, trust me. You go first."
Qin Xue gently stroked Su Yun's head, as if comforting her and telling her not to be so afraid.
Su Yun also heard Qin Yao's words.
She could guess what that meant - if she didn't leave, something bad would probably happen to Qin Xue.
"I trust you..." Su Yun said reluctantly.
"Mm." Hearing this, Qin Xue smiled at Su Yun.
That warm smile made Su Yun bravely trust Qin Xue, believing she would definitely handle things well.
It would definitely be okay, right...
"Let's go."
"Okay."
Finally, under Qin Xue's urging, Su Yun was led out of the room by the maids.
Even after leaving the house, Su Yun kept looking back at that familiar yet strange large mansion.
She felt like maybe she shouldn't leave, but if she didn't, and if Qin Yao made that phone call causing some problems for Qin Xue, that would be terrible.
At this time, she could only choose to trust Qin Xue.
"Sigh, if we had known you and Miss were doing that kind of thing, we would have bought you some time." One of the maids softly expressed her position.
"Hm?" Su Yun was somewhat shocked to hear this as she looked at her.
This maid who usually didn't finish a sentence and had no expression was now actually sad for them.
Did this mean that they were actually on her side?
"We're not that kind of relationship, we just suddenly wanted to try it out."
Su Yun explained somewhat helplessly.
"Try it out..." The maid looked at her with knowing eyes. Obviously, even the maids didn't believe her words.
Mm.
Su Yun stood in place, looking at the house behind her, reluctant to leave.
"If you really care about Miss, take my phone number and call me later. If anything happens, I'll tell you." Seeing Su Yun's worry, the maid thought of this solution.
"Yes, yes!" Su Yun instantly took out her phone from her pocket upon hearing this.
She opened the contacts page and handed her phone to the maid. The maid's slender fingers tapped on it, and after checking several times, she returned the phone to Su Yun.
"This is my number. You can call after eight at night, and if I don't answer, wait until ten."
"Mm, mm, thank you." Su Yun nodded frantically, expressing her gratitude to her.
Normally, when a maid receives orders from the master to kick someone out, it would be impossible for her to have a good attitude toward that person, but now this maid was actually helping Su Yun.
"Alright, I need to go back, or the eldest miss will get suspicious."
"Mm."
At the gate, Su Yun said goodbye to the maid.
With this messenger, her heart was obviously much more at ease now.
If things went badly, she would secretly come tomorrow.
Su Yun wanted to stay here a bit longer to think of plans for various situations, but she walked out alone.
On the way back, Su Yun kept sending messages to Qin Xue on WeChat.
But after a long time, she didn't reply. Su Yun guessed she might still be talking.
After about forty minutes, Su Yun arrived home.
She sat on the edge of her bed and suddenly felt vibration in her pants pocket. She almost instantly took out her phone to check the message.
(Qin Xue: Did you get home? I'm fine, don't worry, Little Sister Yun)
Seeing this good news from her phone, Su Yun's tense little face finally showed a slight smile.
