Chapter 54 - She was more like a domineering CEO taking her girlfriend shopping

Lin Xian's major was among the last in the entire university to go on break. After finally surviving the most dreadful finals week of her college years, the holiday arrived—with only a little over ten days left until the Spring Festival. The moment the break began, Zhou Qin considerately urged Lin Xian to head home. As with all companies and workplaces, the closer it got to year-end, the busier everything became. Zhou Qin thought it best for Lin Xian to go back quickly and avoid adding extra trouble for Xiao Wanqing. With the campus closed...

Chapter 53 - Because at home—someone was waiting for her

After New Year's Day, with Lin Xian’s final exams drawing near, she made the excuse of needing to focus on revision to temporarily pause her weekly workout sessions with Xiao Wanqing. Instead, she chose to stay home and study quietly on her own.

Truthfully, exams weren’t that difficult for Lin Xian. Since entering university, she hadn’t exactly been a top student, but she managed everything with ease. The real reason was the wave of emotion she couldn’t shake off after returning home that New Year's Eve — the moment her eyes ...

Chapter 52 - Happy New Year

No one knew how much time had passed before the dazzling fireworks finally reached their peak and faded into silence. The noise died down, and everything gradually settled into quiet. For a moment, the crowd seemed to pause in that fleeting hush—then, laughter and chatter returned as people began to disperse, flowing outward like a tide.

As the deafening booms subsided, Lin Xian finally, reluctantly, lowered the hands she’d been using to cover Xiao Wanqing’s ears. Instead, she gently wrapped them around Xiao Wanqing’s slender w...

Chapter 51 - Xiao Wanqing had taken a step—in Lin Xian’s direction.

Lin Xian nibbled delicately on her sandwich, bite by bite, and felt rather pleased with her handiwork. After drinking more than half a glass of milk, she licked away the foam clinging to her lips, feeling content. As she admired Xiao Wanqing’s graceful table manners—always such a pleasant sight—she suddenly remembered something important.

“Aunt Xiao,” she asked, “did you talk to Aunt Wen about me wanting to spend New Year’s Eve at the Wanquan Resort with you two? Did she agree?”

Aunt Xiao had just finished the las...

Chapter 50 - Aunt Xiao, please don’t push me away...

When Xiao Wanqing woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky. She looked around — it was her familiar bedroom. The clock on the nightstand showed that the alarm had been turned off manually.

Rubbing her temples, she still felt a bit hazy from a hangover. She remembered that the night before, unable to sleep in the middle of the night, she'd planned to have a little drink to help herself relax. But somehow, as she drank, her thoughts became messier and messier, and after that…

Xiao Wanqing pressed a hand to her ...

Chapter 49 - Auntie Xiao… do you like me?

The waiters brought the dishes one after another. The main course was steak, served with baked deep-sea prawns in cheese, pan-seared cod, seafood pizza, turkey salad, milk pudding, Black Forest cake, and more. Since Xiao Wanqing was driving, Lin Xian didn’t take the opportunity to suggest red wine—instead, they ordered a pot of special fruit tea to share.

The atmosphere felt strangely heavy. Lin Xian was still steeped in a quiet sense of loss, saying nothing as she battled silently with her steak using knife and fork. Suddenly, Xia...

Chapter 48 - Today, not even one thing went right. No right time, no right place, no right people

Just as Lin Xian's right hand brushed a few strands of hair from Xiao Wanqing’s cheek, her breath drawing close and lightly fanning across her skin, Xiao Wanqing snapped back to herself, abruptly stepping away.

Lin Xian’s lips grazed her cheek—softly, barely.

Xiao Wanqing had moved too quickly, too suddenly, her steps so hasty she nearly lost her balance.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Xian froze in surprise. Then, instinctively, she reached out and steadied Xiao Wanqing with swift hands. Her eyes locked onto Xiao Wanqing...

Chapter 47 - Aunt Xiao, this spot… feels perfect for a kiss, doesn’t it?

It was Friday on Christmas Eve, and Lin Xian only had classes for the first two periods that afternoon. After class, as usual, she headed to the choir practice room. Shi Man, who was waiting for Xia Zhijin to finish a brief student council meeting so they could go home together—and also curious to witness the amazing talent Chen Zhi and Tang Mo had praised so highly—decided to go with her.

This was the first time Shi Man had seen Lin Xian in such an entrancing, devoted state. Sitting behind a desk below the stage, she cupped her ch...

Chapter 46 - Xianxian, if you’d been born a little earlier…

The night was as cool and clear as water. In the quiet little mountain village, there wasn’t much in the way of entertainment. Once night fell, apart from the occasional barking of dogs, everything was enveloped in silence.

After dinner with her grandmother and younger sister, Xia Zhijin sat with her grandmother to watch a bit of television and chat. Once she’d seen her take her medicine and drift off to sleep, she stepped outside. Alone in the yard before the low-roofed house, she slumped down wearily into the wooden chair her gra...

Chapter 45 - Having the chance to share your first snowfall with you — it’s like a reward

As the car slowly pulled away from the gates of Jingnan University, Xiao Wanqing happened to glance across the street—and there they were.

Xia Zhijin and Shi Man, standing at the edge of the sidewalk, caught in a quiet struggle. They faced each other, Zhijin gripping Shi Man’s hand as if trying to hold her back. The night had fallen softly, and from the distance, Wanqing couldn’t make out their expressions. All she could see was Shi Man suddenly yanking her hand away after Zhijin seemed to say something, turning to leave—only f...

Chapter 44 - Lin Xian, I hope you’ll always be the exception

Xiao Wanqing was so engrossed in what she was watching that she didn’t realize how much time had passed. When she finally snapped out of it, she noticed that the seats to her right—where Xia Zhijin and Shi Jinglan had been sitting—were now empty.

Only here to watch Shi Man’s performance? Xiao Wanqing mused with a wry smile.

Well, she supposed it made sense. The fact that Shi Jinglan had even shown up was surprising enough. During a past interview, they had touched briefly on family matters. Back then, Shi Jinglan had smil...

Chapter 43 - I think… I may just be a little bit…swept away by you.

The psychological drama competition was in full swing. Thanks to Lin Xian’s outstanding script and the stellar performances from Shi Man and the rest of her classmates, their class advanced to the finals without suspense.

The finals were scheduled for the Friday evening one week before Christmas, to be held at the school’s auditorium, jointly organized with the Business Administration faculty’s psychological drama final. According to the arrangement, the first three rows in the auditorium—the prime viewing seats—were reserved...

Chapter 42 - There’s… nothing underneath

After returning home from the gym, Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing went to their respective rooms to shower, as was their usual routine.

In the bathroom, Lin Xian undressed and stepped under the showerhead, turning on the hot water. The stream of warmth flowed down her back, washing away the lingering chill on her body. She squeezed out a small amount of shower gel, rubbed it between her hands, and began to lather her skin—over her slender shoulders and down her body, until she reached her smooth, flat stomach…

Unbidden, her mind w...

Chapter 41 - A heart with a fierce tiger, yet gently sniffing the rose

The next day was Saturday. After dinner, just before heading to the gym with Xiao Wanqing, Lin Xian remembered she wanted to show her the revised script—updated after being selected and receiving guidance from the organizers.

The TV was on. Xiao Wanqing was sitting on the sofa, and Lin Xian dragged a small stool over, sitting across from her. With both hands, she offered up the script like a treasure and rested her chin on her hand, eyes full of anticipation as she waited for Xiao Wanqing’s thoughts.

Xiao Wanqing was complete...

Chapter 40 - But I’d only ever lose control like that for you…

Xiao Wanqing rarely lost her composure in front of others, let alone shedding tears before a junior like Lin Xian. Once her emotions had settled, a faint awkwardness crept over her. Thankfully, Lin Xian was sensitive enough to spare her the discomfort. Their eyes met briefly before Lin Xian gave her an easy out by shaking her right hand slightly and murmuring, “Aunt Xiao… my hand hurts…”

The awkwardness vanished in an instant. Xiao Wanqing turned swiftly to retrieve the first-aid kit. “Sit down. Just a second.”

She re...

Chapter 39 - Felt such an overwhelming urge to lean in and softly kiss away those tears…

After a sumptuous feast, the gathering dispersed. It was already nearing eleven o’clock. Xiao Wanqing offered to call a car to send the girls home, but the kids politely declined. Left with no choice, she helplessly reminded Xia Zhijin to take it slow and be careful on the way, and to text Lin Xian once they arrived home.

Xiao Wanqing stayed behind to clean up the dishes and tidy the place, while Lin Xian walked her classmates downstairs.

As they exited the elevator, Xia Zhijin walked alone at the front, a short distance ahead....

Chapter 38- Are they like a big-breasted dominatrix from a yuri novel? Or a cute little loli?

Under the warm, dim light, the sharp lines of Xiao Wanqing’s jaw and the elegant curve of her swan-like neck seemed to be frozen in time—like a breathtaking painting come to life. For several seconds, Lin Xian stared at her in a daze, her mind completely blank, as if all that remained was a blazing fire in her chest and a single sentence echoing over and over again:

“Aunt Xiao... she likes women! She likes women!”

Then, slowly, reason began to return. Her thoughts started to unfurl.

Yes... If that were true...

Chapter 37 - You’re talking about 18+ activities, aren’t you?

After everyone had laughed enough, they picked up their chopsticks again. Lin Xian took a bite of food, drained the last of her drink, and her eyes sparkled with mischief as she suddenly asked Xiao Wanqing, “Aunt Xiao, I became an adult today, didn’t I?”

Xiao Wanqing looked at her playful little face and instantly guessed she was up to something again. She nodded calmly, quietly waiting for what was to come next.

Sure enough, Lin Xian’s eyes curved in a sweet smile as she cooed, “So does that mean I can now do things th...

Chapter 36 - She lifted out a strappy triangle garment and a sheer, nearly transparent slip

In the living room, Lin Xian and the others were starting to feel a bit sleepy after playing games for so long. Their stomachs had begun to growl like empty fortresses, so they finally took a break. As they leaned against the sofa legs, chatting idly and tossing around random comments, Xia Zhijin’s clear, melodious voice finally floated out: "Wash your hands, everyone. Time to eat."

The group of newly grown-up teens instantly leapt to their feet, bouncing like preschoolers, obediently lining up behind "Teacher Lin Xian" to wash their...

Chapter 35 - Xiao Wanqing’s heart sank, just a little

Hand in hand, Lin Xian followed Xiao Wanqing out of the auditorium, matching her steps with a careful reverence. Every now and then, she’d sneak a glance at the elegant woman beside her, and each look made her heart beat like a small drum, playing a frenzied sonata called I Really, Really Like You.

Xiao Wanqing, however, walked with composed ease, seemingly unaware. Her gaze remained ahead, but her mind wandered, replaying Lin Xian’s reaction from earlier — the girl’s surprise had far exceeded anything she’d exp...

Chapter 34 - It’s from you. I’ll like it no matter what…

Xiao Wanqing had majored in Chinese Literature. Back in her sophomore year, when she studied foreign literature, she’d already developed quite an interest in Japanese works. Among the Japanese literary greats, Natsume Sōseki was one she was rather familiar with. Yet when she first came across that famous anecdote and his classic line of confession, she couldn’t make sense of it. She even thought it was a bit of a stretch—romanticized, even.

It wasn’t until much later—one particular night when she and Yan Jia were in a long-d...

Chapter 33 - Aunt Xiao... The Moon Is Beautiful, Isn't It?

Though Lin Xian had been born and raised in Anjiang City, she had rarely ventured into the southern district before college. In her limited memory, she recalled coming here once for a spring outing during middle school—she and her classmates had grilled food on some beach. Back then, the coastal cycling path she was riding on now hadn’t even been built.

Fortunately, even though it was her first time riding along this stretch, she found the road quite straightforward, tracing the shoreline with barely any turns. There was no need to...

Chapter 32 - I said I was taking you back to your childhood

After returning home with her parents, Lin Xian lay on the familiar bed she had slept in for years. But strangely, sleep evaded her. Eyes closed, she tried to summon drowsiness, but her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, endlessly spinning, making it impossible to find peace.

Did Auntie Xiao read her script yet? She bit her lip, her heart filled with anxiety.

Truthfully, she hadn't mapped out the story from the start. She simply followed her heart as she wrote, and only after finishing did she realize what the story had become. Be...

Chapter 31 - Her hands covering her face, finally sobbing uncontrollably

After the sports meet, November arrived. It was Lin Xian’s birthday month—and also a very special time for Jingnan University. November 13th marked the university’s anniversary, and this year happened to be the 100th year. So from the very first day of the month, celebration events bloomed one after another. Distinguished alumni were invited back in waves, and lectures of all kinds were held continuously.

Just the night before, Lin Xian had excitedly told Xiao Wanqing that she might not be coming home for dinner in a few days bec...

Chapter 30 - Then let me—take you back to being a child, okay?

It wasn’t until they saw the mid-distance runners emerging from the sheltered tunnel under the stands, heading toward the track, that Shi Man and Xiao Wanqing finally began walking toward the starting point, taking their time.

Lin Xian and Xia Zhijin were on adjacent lanes, warming up, stretching their limbs. Around them, a few student council members from Lin Xian’s department and others cheering for Xia Zhijin gathered by the track.

As soon as Lin Xian saw Xiao Wanqing approaching with her DSLR camera, she stopped stretchin...

Chapter 29 - When I say something, it’s always from the heart

In the end, Lin Xian gave in to the temptation of bonus points for the comprehensive quality test and signed up for the school’s 800-meter race, along with the after-school training that followed. But since the training never actually took up her usual evening time to return home, she hadn’t mentioned it specifically to Xiao Wanqing.

That was, until one night a week before the sports meet, when she brought it up unintentionally.

Upon hearing that Lin Xian was going to participate in a middle-distance race at the school’s sp...

Chapter 28 - There’s no such thing as right or wrong when it comes to love

After PE class, Lin Xian and Shi Man parted ways. Shi Man had resumed her usual routine of going off to find Xia Zhijin for lunch. Since the gymnasium was closer to the canteen today, she muttered to herself about getting the food early and waiting for Xia Zhijin so that when class was over, Xia Zhijin wouldn’t have to squeeze through the crowd. She still remembered how, during their silent treatment last week, Xia Zhijin had purposely slowed her pace to match theirs, and by the time they got to the canteen, the dishes Xia Zhijin liked wer...

Chapter 27 - I really like her… but not like a sister, not like a friend. I mean… like a lover

The first morning after returning to school from the National Day holiday, the last two periods were P.E. class. When selecting electives earlier, Lin Xian had been persuaded by Shi Man to choose table tennis. Though she had absolutely no foundation, Shi Man had confidently assured her that table tennis was the least time-consuming and least exhausting option. Lin Xian, in a moment of impulse, had fallen for it. Later, she regretted it, but by then, it was already too late.

This class, as the teacher had already announced beforehand, w...
