BSG - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

The moment of parting arrived. Yun Youqing clutched the cuff of Shen Wenxin's sleeve, reluctant to let go. Shen Wenxin hooked Yun Youqing's finger, her fingertip sliding through the gaps between her fingers, lacing them together.

"Can't bear to leave me?" Asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Yun Youqing said, "Mm. Can't bear it." Then added, "Hey, you haven't seen the art studio in my place yet, have you? Want to come see it?"

Shen Wenxin curved her lips. "Isn't that excuse a bit too roundabout?"

Yun Youqing dropped the pretense. "Want to stay over tonight at my place?"

Shen Wenxin didn't refuse, nor did she agree. Instead, she smiled and said, "So soon? We only just confirmed our relationship."

Yun Youqing was completely self-righteous. "For other people, maybe. But not for us. Before we even confirmed anything, I'd already slept over at your place twice. It's only fair you stay at mine for once now!"

Shen Wenxin nodded, playing along. "Mm. Makes a lot of sense." Then she added, "Let me go home first."

Yun Youqing held her back. "Why go home?"

Shen Wenxin tapped the tip of Yun Youqing's nose. "To get my pajamas and tomorrow's work clothes."

Yun Youqing opened her mouth. "My place—" She choked. Shen Wenxin raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

Yun Youqing forced the words out. "Wear mine!"

Shen Wenxin stayed silent, just raising an eyebrow. Yun Youqing patted Shen Wenxin's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll just go home and lengthen my clothes overnight." She put on a look of tender affection. "Thread in Youqing's hand, clothes on Wenxin's body. Stitching close before departure, fearing a late return—mmph—"

Shen Wenxin suddenly kissed her, cutting her off with action. It was like she had a tiny switch on her body—whenever Shen Wenxin kissed her, she'd smile. Smiling, she held up one finger. "There's another line after that."

Shen Wenxin pressed her finger down. "Save the poetry recital segment for later. Hurry home. Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"Yes. Super afraid." Super-afraid-of-cold Yun Youqing stuffed both hands into her girlfriend's pockets, drawing close to her girlfriend, looking up. "One more kiss, then I'll go~"

Shen Wenxin's brows and eyes were full of smiles as she watched Yun Youqing act cute with her. Their hands, hidden in Shen Wenxin's pockets, hooked around each other, entangled with each other. A few seconds later, Shen Wenxin tilted her head down slightly and touched her forehead to Yun Youqing's, then gently nudged Yun Youqing's nose with the tip of her own. As if responding to her cute act. Finally, she answered her request and offered a kiss. A very gentle kiss, not overly passionate. Couldn't be too passionate outside.

Yun Youqing was satisfied and finally willing to go. She pulled her hand back and stepped back. The next second, her hand was suddenly grabbed. She was pulled back into that warm embrace. Another soft sensation landed on her lips. They exchanged another kiss. Inside her coat pocket, Shen Wenxin held Yun Youqing's hand and said, "One kiss was too little. Now you can go home."

The switch on Yun Youqing hadn't turned off again, and neither had her smile. She could feel it—Shen Wenxin liked her. Hehe, she loves me~ "Home, home~"

---

Shen Wenxin came out of the bathroom at Yun Youqing's place, moisture clinging to the ends of her hair. Walking out, she saw Yun Youqing curled up on the living room sofa, making a phone call. The moment Yun Youqing saw her, her little dimples appeared again, and she said into the phone, "My girlfriend's here. Gotta go, hanging up now~" Even her tone lilted with happiness.

Rubbing the moisture from her hair ends, Shen Wenxin walked toward her girlfriend, who was smiling brilliantly at her. "Who were you on the phone with? Smiling so happily."

"Fangran." Yun Youqing was getting happier the more she thought about it, her eyes nearly disappearing from smiling. "I told her we're together~ You bent. For me. Hehe~" The entire evening, she had been radiating this happy, silly energy, completely unable to control it. Shen Wenxin, whenever she saw Yun Youqing smile, would get infected herself, an unconscious smile always appearing in her eyes or on her lips. "So cute, Yun Youqing."

Yun Youqing hugged her knees and nodded. "Yes, yes. Yun Youqing is just this cute. Suggestion: love more."

President Shen said, "Suggestion accepted. Currently implementing." She stroked her cute girlfriend's head. "Your turn for a shower. Go take a hot bath and warm up."

"Okay." Yun Youqing stood up cheerfully. "I'm off!"

Yun Youqing left. Shen Wenxin sat down and picked up her phone from the coffee table, also ready to share this news with Jin Hanshuang. She and Yun Youqing wouldn't have reached this point without Jin Hanshuang's guidance. Jin Hanshuang—her love guru. But just as she unlocked her screen, Yun Youqing came back. Not only did she come back, but she also straddled Shen Wenxin's lap, looking down at her from above.

Shen Wenxin: "?"

Yun Youqing smiled a little wickedly. "One kiss before I go."

Ambiguity ignited instantly. In their world, where it was just the two of them, the kiss also became unrestrained. Not just a tender kiss—there were light bites, and soft entanglements venturing into each other's worlds. Their steady breathing was thrown into disarray. In the silent space beside their ears, there were ambiguous, sticky, wet sounds. Ear tips were burning. Shen Wenxin's ear tips.

Yun Youqing's kiss was full of aggression, as if wanting to completely devour Shen Wenxin, allowing no one else to touch even a bit of her. Her kiss was also alluring. The light bites, the sucking—all of it was captivating. Shen Wenxin, a novice in love, was utterly seduced, completely unable to bear letting her go. But Yun Youqing was willing to let go. She suddenly interrupted the kiss forcefully, cupping Shen Wenxin's slightly flushed, beautiful face, and said, "I'm off to shower now~" And then she was gone. Really gone this time. She grabbed her pajamas and slipped into the bathroom in a flash, giving Shen Wenxin absolutely no time to react.

With a hint of secret pride, Yun Youqing closed the bathroom door. She just wanted Shen Wenxin to keep thinking about this kiss, to keep thinking about her.

Shen Wenxin, when she finally reacted, the sound of running water was already coming from the bathroom. "... " Shen Wenxin touched her own lips, glanced toward the bathroom, and helplessly leaned back. Pretty bad, Yun Youqing... Just you wait until you come out. You're done for.

Finally, Yun Youqing finished her shower. After she came out, just as she expected, Shen Wenxin indeed grabbed her and continued the kiss from before the shower. Shen Wenxin was more passionate. So was Yun Youqing. They were like two blazing fires, kissing unrestrainedly for a very long time in their own little world. In the end, it was Yun Youqing, pinned on the sofa, who surrendered first, panting and saying she couldn't go on.

Shen Wenxin looked down at her. Her eyes, dark as ink, were thick with affection. The corner of her lips still carried that alluring smile. "Will you dare to do that next time?"

Yun Youqing said, "Yes."

Shen Wenxin raised an eyebrow. Then, she tickled her. Yun Youqing laughed so hard she squirmed on the sofa. "Ahhh— Wrong, wrong, hahahaha—" Considering her admission of guilt, though not necessarily sincere, was absolutely cheerful, Shen Wenxin let her off very easily. The moment the ticklish sensation on her waist disappeared, Yun Youqing immediately perked up again. She straightened up and pecked Shen Wenxin on the lips like a woodpecker. Her expression was both beautiful and asking-for-a-beating. "I'll dare next time, too! From now on, I'll kiss you like this every day. Mua-mua-mua!"

Shen Wenxin paused, then chuckled softly. "Fine. If you ever miss a day kissing me, I'll hold you accountable."

Since Shen Wenxin said that, Yun Youqing had to ask, "May I ask how President Shen will hold me accountable?"

Shen Wenxin looked at Yun Youqing. Yun Youqing also looked at Shen Wenxin. The two stared at each other for ages, and Shen Wenxin still couldn't come up with half a punishment. Her mind was full of how to be good to Yun Youqing; she had never thought about what to do if Yun Youqing did something bad. So she said, "A matter for the future. For the future."

Yun Youqing: "Can't I get a sneak peek?"

Shen Wenxin: "No."

Yun Youqing: "Then can you kiss me again now?"

Sudden topic change. Shen Wenxin smiled warmly. First, she gently pinched Yun Youqing's nose, then bent her head to kiss her. A very tender kiss, devoid of desire, full of love. "How can I love kissing you this much?" As if asking Yun Youqing, as if asking herself. Since last night, since that unrefused kiss, she had been unstoppable. She loved kissing Yun Youqing. Loved being kissed by Yun Youqing, embraced by Yun Youqing, needed by Yun Youqing.

"—Because you especially, especially like me." Yun Youqing directly summed up the answer for her. After hearing it, Shen Wenxin also smiled, softly repeating her words. "Yes. Because I especially, especially like you."

Yun Youqing smiled and wrapped her arms around Shen Wenxin's neck. "Then... how did you realize you liked me?" Shen Wenxin had always said she supported her dating someone else. How, in just a few short days, did she suddenly have an epiphany and know to pursue her?

Shen Wenxin leisurely stroked the stray hairs on Yun Youqing's forehead, pondering her question. How did she realize? Naturally— "I had an expert's guidance."

Four words instantly popped into Yun Youqing's mind. "The Lesbian Grandmaster?"

Shen Wenxin laughed. No matter how many times she heard it, hearing that title again still struck her as hilarious. Her hand gently passed through Yun Youqing's long hair, stroke after stroke. Her tone was also gentle. "Yes. The Lesbian Grandmaster."

Yun Youqing burst out with a string of exclamations. "Wow— She saw through me liking you at a glance before, and now she can see through you liking me. Isn't that just too perceptive, too impressive! The Grandmaster truly lives up to her name... If we ever get married, she absolutely has to sit at the head table!"

Hearing this, Shen Wenxin couldn't hold back her laughter. "Indeed. She should sit at the head table." After all, that was her stepmother. Shen Wenxin suddenly thought of something. She twirled a strand of Yun Youqing's long hair around her fingertip and couldn't resist lowering her head to kiss Yun Youqing's forehead, saying softly, "You wanted to meet her before, didn't you? Next time, I'll take you to see her."

Upon hearing this, Yun Youqing was quite pleasantly surprised. "Really?" She poked Shen Wenxin's chest. "You're not afraid I'll ask her to tell my fortune now?"

Shen Wenxin poked Yun Youqing's cheek. "Would you actually ask her to tell your fortune?"

Yun Youqing also poked Shen Wenxin's cheek, deliberately. "I am someone with a lot of nerve, you know."

Shen Wenxin smiled and pinched Yun Youqing's face. "Oh, really? Then go ahead."

Yun Youqing also pinched Shen Wenxin's face. "Mm. I definitely will when the time comes!" She gave Shen Wenxin a beaming smile. "I'm going to ask her to tell the fortune of our future!"

Hearing this, Shen Wenxin's brows and eyes grew even more tender. "That one doesn't need telling. I already know the answer—we'll be good, always. Together forever." She lowered her head and kissed her star. She would hold her star steadily, love her well, and never let anyone hurt her again, not even a little. She would definitely make her happy forever.

Yun Youqing happily hugged Shen Wenxin and returned the kiss. She loved hearing Shen Wenxin say sweet nothings. Because Shen Wenxin was a truly good person. Because Shen Wenxin would mean what she said. Because Shen Wenxin would let her see her love for her. A love that made her happy and deeply moved. So happy. So fond of Shen Wenxin. We'll be good, always. Together forever!
