BSG - Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Yun Youqing's fondness for Shen Wenxin had ascended to yet another level. Now, whatever Shen Wenxin did, she found it so endearing, so cute. Thankfully, Shen Wenxin liked her. Thankfully, their feelings were mutual. Now, no one could take Shen Wenxin away!
Happily, she hugged Shen Wenxin, burying her face in the crook of her neck, and said sweetly, "Love you so much~"
Shen Wenxin lowered her head and tenderly kissed her black hair, responding, "I love you so much, too."
"Can I come find you for lunch tomorrow?" Yun Youqing suddenly asked. Shen Wenxin thought for a moment and said, "Lunch might not work. How about afternoon tea?" Yun Youqing blinked. Shen Wenxin smiled and kissed her forehead. "After afternoon tea, we can stay together until evening, then go have dinner together."
Hearing this, Yun Youqing's eyes lit up. "So you're that free tomorrow afternoon? Then I'll come find you in the afternoon!" Her reply was light and cheerful, the light in her eyes twinkling. Shen Wenxin's gaze softened. Her fingers tenderly stroked her long hair with indescribable fondness. "Then, I'll take you to that café my stepmom really likes. The things there are excellent. You'll like it."
Leaning in Shen Wenxin's arms, Yun Youqing's reply was even sweeter. "Okay~"
Shen Wenxin found her even cuter and couldn't help but kiss her. "How can you be this cute."
Yun Youqing: "You've got the cutest person in the whole world as your girlfriend. So, how's it feel? Don't you feel super—lucky, super—blessed?"
Shen Wenxin laughed and reached up to pinch Yun Youqing's cheek. "Yes. Super lucky. Super blessed."
Yun Youqing giggled twice, then contentedly turned around and leaned against Shen Wenxin's chest, continuing to play on her phone. After a moment, Shen Wenxin suddenly heard Yun Youqing exclaim "Oh dear." "What's wrong?" Shen Wenxin immediately straightened up with concern.
She saw Yun Youqing touching her own lip and saying, "Just accidentally licked my own mouth. Suddenly realized... I really am such a sweetheart!"
Shen Wenxin: "... " She couldn't help but chuckle softly. Her bag of tricks really is endless. "Really?" Shen Wenxin said with a smile, "Let me try."
Yun Youqing immediately puckered her lips, generously offering them for a kiss. Shen Wenxin kissed her. Yun Youqing asked, "So? Isn't it very sweet?" She said it with a smile, her face full of anticipation as she waited for Shen Wenxin to play along. But Shen Wenxin actually said, "Couldn't taste it."
Yun Youqing: "?" Debunking me, are you? Just as she was about to say something more, her waist was suddenly encircled. She involuntarily drew closer to Shen Wenxin, closer to her lips, too. She heard Shen Wenxin say, "Let me try again." Amidst her sudden realization, Yun Youqing was kissed. Smiling, she fell into Shen Wenxin's embrace. They sank into the rocking chair. With every downward sway, Yun Youqing pressed tightly against Shen Wenxin.
She was like a seed, little by little embedding herself into Shen Wenxin's body, into the softest part of her heart. Then, in Shen Wenxin's unreserved love, she took root, sprouted, and grew wildly. Shen Wenxin's love was her nourishment. The entangling of lips and tongues was their game. The sticky sounds by their ears were the whispers of their love.
They kissed deeply, kissed enough, satisfied. Air was finally allowed back into their world. Yun Youqing sat on Shen Wenxin's lap. Shen Wenxin leaned back against the chair, her brows and eyes full of smiles as she looked at her. The rocking chair beneath them was still swaying gently. So leisurely. Even the smiles on each other's faces softened. They were like floating on clouds, everything light and airy.
Yun Youqing raised her hand and gently stroked her lover's face. She traced it tenderly with her eyes, without extra words. Shen Wenxin held the back of her hand, pressing her palm against it, smiling a lazy, slow smile. Still smiling like that, she lightly kissed her palm, then nuzzled it. "Tasted it this time. Exceptionally sweet."
That smile swept Yun Youqing completely off her feet. Her heart thumped wildly for a long while. Then, she said, "Sly Shen Wenxin."
Shen Wenxin said, "Full-of-tricks Yun Youqing."
Yun Youqing slowly curved her eyes and smiled. She leaned down and sank into Shen Wenxin's embrace. "—A perfect match."
The next afternoon, Yun Youqing left home right on time. She wore a red coat today. Shen Wenxin had said red looked good on her, so she dressed like this to go have afternoon tea with her girlfriend. She took a taxi to the base of Shen Wenxin's office building. She walked into the lobby, sat down, and waited. Shen Wenxin had said she was coming down, so she didn't go up. As she waited, she looked around.
This was her first time at Minghai Jewelry Group. The grandeur and spaciousness one would expect from a large corporation—Minghai Jewelry had it all. People were coming and going, each looking like an elite professional. The sofas in the lobby were also very comfortable to sit on. The reception staff, both men and women, were well-groomed and amiable, making one feel very comfortable. There was even a fan of hers here. The person said they really liked her paintings and asked for her autograph. It made her feel a bit embarrassed. So there were fans of hers even in her girlfriend's company...
After a while, President Shen finally came down. The moment Shen Wenxin stepped out of the elevator, she spotted that splash of red in the lobby. Wearing a long white scarf and a white cat-ear hat. Her soft, black, long hair was all tucked under the cute, soft hat. She looked very beautiful. A beauty impossible to look away from. Shen Wenxin exchanged a few words with the person beside her and then parted ways, walking straight toward her girlfriend. "Youqing."
The familiar voice reached her. Yun Youqing abruptly looked up. Didn't see her. Turned her head. Saw her! She happily stood up and waved. "Wenxin!" Even those little movements struck Shen Wenxin as cute. Her pace walking toward Yun Youqing unconsciously quickened. When she reached her, she couldn't help but pinch Yun Youqing's cheek and ask, "Why so cute?"
Yun Youqing thought she was complimenting her cute outfit and specially did a little spin to show her. "I dressed up nicely. Beautiful, right~" The mirth in Shen Wenxin's eyes deepened. "Beautiful. The most beautiful in the world." She naturally took Yun Youqing's hand and found it warm. Reassured, she walked outside with Yun Youqing. Today, the little squirrel remembered to bring the hand warmer when she went out.
"Didn't you say this morning you wanted steak? I booked a restaurant. We'll go eat tonight."
"Okay! I didn't drive here."
"I'll drive. After we eat, we'll go pick up Xiaoba."
"Hmm?!"
"Weren't you saying before you missed him? These few days, we can bring him over to play."
"Really!" Yun Youqing's eyes lit up. Shen Wenxin smiled and stroked her face. "Really. I already agreed with my stepmom. It'll be the perfect time to introduce you two."
Yun Youqing blinked and suddenly felt flustered. "This, this suddenly? I haven't even bought a meeting gift..."
"No need." Shen Wenxin held Yun Youqing's uneasy hand and gently soothed her. "She doesn't need those things. We just need to help her take good care of Xiaoba for these few days."
"Okay, okay. I'll definitely take good care of Xiaoba," Yun Youqing promised. "Absolutely won't bite the puppy's butt!"
Every time Shen Wenxin heard that, she wanted to laugh. And wanted to pinch her cheek. She did it this time, too. "You, ah..."
"Me, ah..." Yun Youqing smiled sweetly and curved her eyes as she hugged Shen Wenxin's arm. "I'll only bite my sister's mouth~"
Shen Wenxin paused briefly, then laughed helplessly, tapping Yun Youqing's reddened nose. "Little hooligan."
The two arrived at the café that Jin Hanshuang had given a full-star recommendation. Pushing the door open, a wind chime tinkled, and a sweet, creamy fragrance wafted over. A delightfully pleasant scent. Yun Youqing was in a great mood. But she didn't know what to order, so she left it up to Shen Wenxin. Based on her understanding of her girlfriend's tastes, Shen Wenxin ordered her a latte, a Japanese pudding cake, and the café's signature coffee shortbread.
"My stepmom and several of my friends all really like this coffee shortbread," Shen Wenxin said. "Try it, too. It might suit your taste. If you ever want it again later, I'll come buy it for you." President Shen's afternoon tea delivery service was now open.
Yun Youqing's little dimples were sweet. "Okay~ To reciprocate for our President Shen, I'll make you packed lunches. How's that? I've been seeing lots of bento-making videos lately and wanted to try."
President Shen raised an eyebrow and smiled. "That would be wonderful." Her girlfriend's cooking was just like her painting—very skilled.
Yun Youqing added three more words with a grin. "Occasionally, though."
Shen Wenxin also replied with three words. "Me, too." They understood each other perfectly. One wasn't someone who loved to cook; the other wasn't someone free every afternoon. Just being able to do it once in a while for each other was already more than enough. And so, the afternoon tea and packed lunches were happily agreed upon.
Yun Youqing hugged Shen Wenxin's arm, her face full of happiness as she waited for their order. Just then, Shen Wenxin's shoulder was lightly tapped. A "what a coincidence" landed in both their ears. Yun Youqing turned her head along with Shen Wenxin. Yun Youqing froze. —Lu Yunshu!!! Yun Youqing's mind went blank. What to do, what to do? What do I do? This is a nemesis encounter! Do I need to stand in front of Wenxin and protect her? No, they're all civilized people; they wouldn't fight. What am I doing standing in front of her?! Then what should I do?? Yun Youqing's brain continued its high-speed operation. Damn it, of all places to run into her—why did it have to be here?! Oh, right. Wenxin said this is the café her stepmom likes the most. Then Lu Yunshu—
"Buying afternoon tea for my stepmom?" "Mm. She wanted coffee shortbread." "Wait here. The shortbread is still being made. You'll catch a fresh batch." Such a calm conversation.
Hmm?! Yun Youqing's insides weren't quite so calm. This didn't look like sworn enemies at all...
"And this is?" Lu Yunshu's gaze suddenly shifted to Yun Youqing. Shen Wenxin began the introduction. "This is my girlfriend, Yun Youqing." Then, to Yun Youqing, softly, "Youqing, this is Lu Yunshu."
Yun Youqing's head was spinning. She extended her hand. "Ah... Hello, President Lu." Lu Yunshu shook it politely. "Hello, Miss Yun." Very poised. Very elegant. Then, said very directly, "I'm Wenxin's stepmother's girlfriend. You can also call me Little—"
Shen Wenxin clamped a hand over her mouth, swift as lightning. "Say less of that stuff." Turning her head, she looked tenderly at Yun Youqing. "Don't listen to her. Just call her whatever you like. Even calling her by her full name is fine. It's okay."
Yun Youqing: "... " Her CPU was burning fiercely. Wait, these two didn't look like nemeses at all!!!
