Shao Cixin’s gaze tightened with determination.
Until she was rejected, even the King of Heaven couldn’t stop her from bending Wen Zhihan!!!
Wen Zhihan’s gaze fell on Shao Cixin, who was sprawled on the table, motionless except for the light shining in her eyes.
—Cute.
She raised her hand and gently patted Shao Cixin’s head, twice.
“Go to bed first. I’ll finish soon.”
Shao Cixin traced the gentle contours of Wen Zhihan’s face before looking at the bed behind them. “Okay.”
Then she obediently climbed onto the bed and enveloped herself into the blanket’s embrace, turning into a rice dumpling again.
But she couldn’t go to sleep first.
How could she chat with Wen Zhihan if she went to sleep first?
She had to fulfill her promised customer service and warm Wen Zhihan’s bed first!
After a while, Wen Zhihan closed her notebook, preparing to rest.
But when she turned around, she saw a little sweetie diligently warming her bed.
Even though her room already had floor heating.
Seeing that Wen Zhihan had finally finished, Shao Cixin generously donated most of the mattress to her friend.
She patted the vacant side of the bed and said, “You’re done? Come lie down. The blankets are very warm!”
Wen Zhihan smiled and obeyed.
After she lay down, but before she could say anything, Shao Cixin rolled over.
The younger girl asked with a grin, “How is it? Is it warm?”
Because the person she liked chose to be so close to her, Wen Zhihan’s smile became even more sincere. “En, it’s very warm.”
Infected by her smile, Shao Cixin’s eyes curved.
At the same time, she stretched out her hands to hug Wen Zhihan’s waist.
Shao Cixin couldn’t take her eyes off Wen Zhihan. When she spoke, her praise was generous and direct. “Jiejie, you’re so beautiful.”
Wen Zhihan was the whisper of a spring breeze and the radiance of the bright moon, an unforgettable existence in the depths of her soul.
She wanted to cling to her for a long, long time.
—To be together with her forever.
Wen Zhihan heard herself being praised again.
She noticed that, recently, Shao Cixin really liked to praise her.
If it weren’t for some similar compliments in the past, Wen Zhihan would really begin to wonder if her junior sister had become enlightened.
But was Shao Cixin…still straight?
What straight woman would think about kissing another woman just because they’re beautiful? Or worse, act on the idea? Did this count as straight people behavior?
Wen Zhihan felt a little confused in her heart.
Shao Cixin’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on Wen Zhihan’s lips.
The last time they kissed, it was full of alcohol and ambiguity.
There’s no alcohol now, but Shao Cixin still wanted to kiss Wen Zhihan.
Because she liked her, and she wanted to bend her.
Maybe after a few more kisses, Wen Zhihan would come to accept it and bend herself?
But right now, Shao Cixin only cared about how she could get Wen Zhihan to kiss her again. Should she just…go for it?
Yeah, just go for it! Let’s send this ball into the goal before thinking any more!
Shao Cixin made up her mind.
She observed the silent Wen Zhihan before finally asking, “Jiejie, why aren’t you speaking?”
Shao Cixin had really become a little sweetie, calling her “jiejie” left and right.
Especially when they were alone, lying on the same bed together…
Wen Zhihan calmly made an excuse, “I was wondering if your words were sincere. Our Cixin has met so many new people. I’m afraid I’m not the most beautiful in your heart anymore.”
Shao Cixin: “?”
She immediately expressed her sincerity. “None of them are comparable to you. You’ve always been the best, no rebuttals allowed!”
Wen Zhihan curved her eyes. “Really?”
Shao Cixin solemnly said, “Really!”
She added, “Don’t worry, you will always be the most beautiful person in my heart. No one else in the whole world can even come close.”
After hearing this, Wen Zhihan couldn’t help but laugh.
She never expected this arrogant junior sister from high school to turn around and arrogantly praise her in college. Life really was unpredictable.
Satisfied, Wen Zhihan began stroking Shao Cixin’s long hair. “It’s my honor to be the number one in our Ms. Shao’s heart.”
Shao Cixin saw an opportunity in the making. She grinned impishly. “Then do me a favor.”
In response, Wen Zhihan bent her elbows to support her head and turned sideways to face Shao Cixin.
She asked warmly, “Well, what is it?”
Wen Zhihan’s eyes were full of sincerity, as if she would do her best to help Shao Cixin no matter what she asked.
Shao Cixin’s expression brightened, but then she became cautious again.
“…You can’t get angry.”
Wen Zhihan was confused for a moment. Then she couldn’t help but chuckle.
She gently pulled up her hair.
“Okay, I won’t get angry,” she promised. “Let’s hear it.”
She was very curious about this favor that might make her angry.
Then, wearing a lively and playful expression, Shao Cixin tipped into Wen Zhihan’s arms.
She lifted the length of her body and pressed her face against Wen Zhihan’s ear, whispering very ambiguously, “I want…to kiss you.”
Wen Zhihan was stunned.
Shao Cixin smiled and whispered, “Is that okay?”
“Why?” Wen Zhihan heard herself ask.
It was a good thing that Shao Cixin took the initiative to ask for intimacy, but even she could tell that this intimacy was different from before.
And Wen Zhihan desperately wanted to know.
Was it because she liked her? Was there a possibility after all…?
Shao Cixin didn’t move.
Her spur-of-the-moment request was too hasty, and she struggled to find a legitimate reason to fool Wen Zhihan.
She couldn’t help but want to close the distance between herself and Wen Zhihan, to ask for more special treatment, but she wasn’t sure what Wen Zhihan was thinking at this moment.
“Because…”
Her eyes began to swivel, and her brain started running at high speed. Soon, she found a solution, though it was not very clever.
“Because I suddenly wanted to experience the feeling of kissing again!” she exclaimed. “But I don’t have a partner, and you said I couldn’t just casually kiss anyone. You’re the only person I’ve ever kissed, and you happen to be single, so…”
Her mouth continued moving, “It’s okay. If you don’t want to, then forget about it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything. Let’s sleep. Good night.”
Shao Cixin pretended to give up on the idea and turned around to lie down with her back to Wen Zhihan, but in reality, her heart was already beating like a drum.
She had followed her heart. She had been very straightforward. But afterward, this behavior could also make people anxious.
Shao Cixin didn’t dare to look at Wen Zhihan’s experience now, for fear of seeing a trace of disgust in her beautiful features.
Wen Zhihan doted on her and spoiled her, but was it really so unconditional…?
Shao Cixin was still immersed in her panicked thoughts when she felt a hand fall on her arm.
Startled, her body instinctively followed the movement of the hand, until Wen Zhihan’s beautiful features were reflected in her eyes.
She watched, transfixed, as Wen Zhihan’s soft long hair fell from her shoulders, emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Then she saw Wen Zhihan’s lips open and close slightly.
“Perfect timing, I also want to try it,” Wen Zhihan said.
Shao Cixin’s peach blossom eyes widened.
Firecrackers began setting off in her heart, celebrating another new year.
—Oh my god, Wen Zhihan said she wanted to try it too!
They were going to kiss again!
If things continued going her way, how could she not bend Wen Zhihan!!
“Wait a minute,” Shao Cixin froze, her thoughts halting. “Did we lock the door?”
Wen Zhihan nodded firmly. “Yes.”
She didn’t want anyone coming in and disturbing her precious time with Shao Cixin, so she locked the door a long time ago. She was 100% sure.
Shao Cixin’s smile slowly returned.
She began encouraging Wen Zhihan, “Jiejie, kiss me. Hurry up, hurry up~”
Wen Zhihan couldn’t refuse, so she bent down to meet Shao Cixin’s lips.
Shao Cixin fell on her back, her pale wrist gently taken by Wen Zhihan.
Wen Zhihan’s long and slender fingers slowly wandered along Shao Cixin’s wrist, falling into the palm of her hand, and then passing through the gaps of her fingers, interlocking their hands together.
Then, a kiss fell.
Their breaths were warm, and their mouths delicate.
They gently bit each other’s lips.
Just the passion lingering on their lips was enough to ignite the atmosphere, causing their desires to expand and ensnare them.
This was only their second kiss. There was no skill involved, and it wasn’t a smooth experience.
But it hid a deep satisfaction.
Both parties felt extremely lucky just to be able to touch each other like this.
However, Shao Cixin gradually became consumed by her emotions. She became dissatisfied with just a kiss.
She began to push for more.
She wanted Wen Zhihan, Wen Zhihan’s heart—all of Wen Zhihan.
“It’s not enough…” She caressed Wen Zhihan’s face, frowning slightly. “I want more…is that okay?”
It wasn’t easy to just kiss once and let go!
She was an adult. She could be a little bolder and ask for more!!
Wen Zhihan didn’t ask any more questions. She just responded, “Okay.”
It would be too disgraceful to interrogate someone in such a situation. If Shao Cixin liked it, if Shao Cixin wanted it, then she would provide it.
She liked her, so she was willing to pamper and spoil her. It was that simple.
Shao Cixin’s smile blossomed like a flower. “Jiejie is the best. I like her the most.”
Wen Zhihan’s lips curved. She copied Shao Cixin’s coquettish tone, “Jiejie also likes Shao Cixin the best…”
She leaned over and kissed Shao Cixin again, the person in her heart whom she had longed for all day and night.
She hoped that they were both talking about the same type of “like.”
This time, they finally broke through the surface.
Wen Zhihan reached between Shao Cixin’s lips and teeth, carefully exploring new lands and conquering new valleys.
Shao Cixin had no reservations. She welcomed every passionate kiss with a sense of victory.
She had successfully trapped Wen Zhihan.
Since Wen Zhihan could kiss her like this, she should also say goodbye to being a straight woman!
This was her first step to bend Wen Zhihan.
In her opinion, the results were very successful!
She must continue to work hard, push forward, and win her jiejie’s heart. Success was just around the corner!
Between turbulent breaths, their intertwined fingers loosened slightly, then locked together tightly until their bones were showing and their skin had turned white with force.
In this moment, both women wanted to capture the other person, hold them tightly, and let their secret love last forever.
Tonight, Wen Zhihan finally discovered something different about her junior sister.
—She doesn’t seem to be so straight anymore.
Shao Cixin had a lot of fun at Wen Zhihan’s house.
Wen Xingyun and Joanna were very good to her, and Wen Zhihan was even better.
The two of them would go out to visit the nearby park or stay at home and play some games.
They gambled on milk tea and desserts after school.
Shao Cixin lost miserably.
She even began to wonder if her luck had been sucked away by Wen Zhihan.
But thanks to Wen Zhihan’s impeccable throwing[1] skills, Shao Cixin finally won.
It just so happened that this “win” came at a time when the loser must agree to the other party’s conditions, so long as it was within their ability.
Shao Cixin felt like she had hit the jackpot. She couldn’t contain her excitement.
Wen Zhihan’s face was doting as she watched Shao Cixin’s thrilled expression, like she had won the world in her hands.
“Have you thought about the condition you want to put forward?” she asked.
Shao Cixin shook her head and picked up the dice again. “No, it has to be special anyway. I’ll tell you when I think of it later.
“Don’t worry, I’m very generous, so I won’t embarrass you.”
She had to use this hard-earned opportunity well.
Maybe one day she would need Wen Zhihan’s help for something, such as being her girlfriend…
She would bring it up when such a selfish condition wasn’t difficult for Wen Zhihan to fulfill.
She didn’t want to force Wen Zhihan to be with her. That would be too immoral.
—Forced love was unacceptable!
A new semester arrived, and school began again.
Shao Cixin happily returned to campus, leaving her parents confused at home.
—When did their daughter love school so much? Fengcheng University must have great charm.
Shao Cixin happily packed her luggage and left to find Wen Zhihan.
She met her at the school gates.
“Happy new semester!” Shao Cixin spread her arms and hugged Wen Zhihan. “This semester, I hope our senior sister continues to help her junior sister along the way and give lots of guidance.”
Wen Zhihan skillfully took her wrist with one hand and patted her head with the other. “Okay, I will also ask our junior sister for advice.”
Shao Cixin grinned.
As long as she could stay with Wen Zhihan, she was happy.
On the day after they bought their new textbooks, Shao Cixin went out to dinner with her three ex-roommates at school. As the four of them chatted happily, their conversation eventually returned to Shao Cixin.
The chubby roommate was nicknamed Xiong Xiong.
“Xin Xin, someone from my neighboring class asked me if you were single.” She added up her fingers. “If we’re counting the last semester, this is probably the fifth person in total.”
Shao Cixin was scanning the QR code on the table, preparing to ask Wen Zhihan what she liked and order it for her later.
When she heard Xiong Xiong’s statement, her expression seemed to say, “So what?”
“Only five, what’s the big deal?” she retorted. “One time, when my senior sister and I were having dinner, more than five people came up to her just to ask for her contact number. This number isn’t worth mentioning at all.”
Another roommate, a girl with long black hair called Xiao Bei, couldn’t help but laugh. “We’re talking about you, but why are you involving your family’s senior sister again?”
She joked, “What, are you and your senior sister together?”
Shao Cixin raised her brows, casually flipping through the menu on her phone.
She really wanted to be with her senior sister, but she didn’t know yet if her senior sister wanted to be with her…
Xiong Xiong said, “She didn’t refute it. They’re together.”
Shao Cixin: “?”
Xiong Xiong sincerely continued, “Sisters, I wish you a long and harmonious union[2].”
Shao Cixin followed the flow. “Thank you for your kind words. My senior sister and I will be together for one hundred years!”
Xiao Bei said, “It’s outrageous that the two of you are a match…”
After they were done, they went their separate ways.
Shao Cixin walked out of the school carrying the takeaway food in her hands.
After entering the community, walking into the elevator, and opening the door to their apartment, the first thing she saw was Wen Zhihan wearing her gold-rimmed glasses.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but it seemed like ever since she praised Wen Zhihan for her appearance in those glasses, the number of times they’ve appeared on Wen Zhihan’s face had increased significantly.
But then she remembered that it was normal for Wen Zhihan to wear her glasses in front of a screen, and she went back to thinking it had nothing to do with her.
She didn’t dwell on it either.
The important thing was that she got to see even more of this elegant and charming Wen Zhihan, which should be considered a huge gain!
“You’re back,” Wen Zhihan said.
Shao Cixin smiled and shook the takeout bag in her hand. “Yeah, I also brought you takeout.”
She put the food on the table, remembered the chat with her ex-roommates, and deliberately mentioned to Wen Zhihan, “My roommate told me that someone asked her if I was single again.
“She said it was the fifth person.”
Shao Cixin peered into Wen Zhihan’s eyes, pretending to be casual.
She wanted to see how Wen Zhihan would react: If she would be a little jealous, or if she would be like Shao Cixin herself and feel reluctant to let her agree to anyone else’s pursuits.
But Wen Zhihan only calmly closed the book in her hand and asked, “How did you answer?”
Shao Cixin raised her eyebrows.
—Ho, that was too calm. She really hasn’t developed any feelings at all…?
Shao Cixin said, “I just told her that you have much more than five people asking for your contact information. Compared to you, I’m not worth mentioning at all.”
Wen Zhihan: “?”
She smiled lightly. “So I can even appear in this situation?”
“Yeah, I was thinking of you,” Shao Cixin calmly continued as she opened the takeout box. “My roommate also mentioned that I always talk about you and asked if…we were together.”
After saying this, she raised her eyes again to look at Wen Zhihan, silently observing her reaction.
Wen Zhihan’s smile was very gentle, without any trace of disgust. Good, she was making steady progress!
Wen Zhihan’s mood improved after hearing Shao Cixin’s words.
It turned out that the person she liked often talked about her to other people.
If this trend continued, would Shao Cixin come around to liking her soon?
As she watched Shao Cixin unpack the takeout box, Wen Zhihan’s thoughts began to churn.
It seemed like she must do something to promote this development.
The days gradually passed.
As night fell in March, the white snow that was flying in the sky quietly came to a stop.
After finishing dinner, Shao Cixin and Wen Zhihan went out to take a stroll around the school.
Shao Cixin walked beside Wen Zhihan with a scarf wrapped around her neck.
She breathed into her hands, and then, using the excuse that they were cold, generously put them into the pocket of Wen Zhihan’s coat.
She had always been playful and intimate with Wen Zhihan, so whether Wen Zhihan liked her or not, she could do this kind of thing.
Nevertheless, Wen Zhihan had never rejected Shao Cixin’s intrusions and always gently allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
So, Shao Cixin peacefully enjoyed the specialness that Wen Zhihan gave her.
They slowly walked around campus.
Wen Zhihan noticed the harmonious atmosphere, so she leisurely began setting her trap, waiting for her cute puppy to jump in.
“Cixin, someone confessed to me today.”
Shao Cixin turned her head and nervously gazed up at Wen Zhihan.
Another person confessed to Wen Zhihan?
Wen Zhihan didn’t agree, right? She didn’t, right?!
Wen Zhihan said calmly, “I rejected him.”
Shao Cixin’s tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
Then the story took a turn. “But this time, the suitor is more troublesome.”
Shao Cixin: “?”
Wen Zhihan said, “The other party told me that as long as I’m single, he’ll keep pursuing me and pestering me until I agree.”
Shao Cixin’s fist immediately hardened.
She hated this kind of shameless suitor who didn’t care about the other person’s feelings the most!
“Does someone like this really exist? What type of person is he! Is it because he can’t understand human speech that he keeps on bothering other people?!”
—The opportunity had arrived.
Wen Zhihan turned to Shao Cixin, her expression just as gentle as before.
“So, I lied to him,” she said. “I told him—I have a girlfriend.”
Shao Cixin was startled. “A girlfriend?”
Wen Zhihan nodded. “Yes, a girlfriend.”
Shao Cixin said in admiration, “What a good move. This way he has to completely give up on you, right? Unless…he doesn’t believe it?”
Wen Zhihan revealed a hint of distress. “But if there was really a girlfriend by my side…”
Shao Cixin walked straight into Wen Zhihan’s trap.
She immediately said, “Leave it to me. I can be your girlfriend!”
Wen Zhihan’s expression became sincere and flustered.
The sincerity was true, the embarrassment was false.
“Cixin, did you think it through?” she asked. “If you become my fake partner, I will directly tell others that you’re my girlfriend, and I will always use you as a shield, not just this one time.”
Wen Zhihan continued, “You can’t hide a thing at school. Many people will know that you and I are together. You…really don’t mind?”
Shao Cixin thought about it.
Wasn’t this just like being treated like a real girlfriend?
It was such a good thing, how could she mind?!
It could be no one else but her.
She couldn’t let Wen Zhihan find someone else. What if she got into a fake relationship with another person and that relationship ended up becoming real?!
“I don’t mind. What’s there to mind? I also don’t want to keep on rejecting people. It’s too bothersome.” she responded calmly. “So I’ll be your shield and you’ll be mine. Isn’t this pretty fair?”
Wen Zhihan looked into Shao Cixin’s eyes. “You don’t mind being regarded as gay?”
She eagerly looked forward to Shao Cixin’s answer.
She hoped Shao Cixin didn’t mind.
She hoped there was a possibility between them.
Peering into Wen Zhihan’s blue eyes, Shao Cixin suddenly smiled. “What’s there to mind? There’s nothing wrong with being gay, don’t you think so too?”
She continued, “Besides, girls are so cute, who doesn’t like girls? No one in this world has the right to say that only men could like girls.”
Unsure whether Wen Zhihan had really been bent or if she was just looking for an excuse to reject suitors, Shao Cixin decided to be more proactive.
She gently held Wen Zhihan’s arm and spoke, her voice soft and full of temptation, like a siren bewitching a sailor, “Jiejie, girls are much better than stiff, stinky men~”
She was just a step short of shaking Wen Zhihan’s arm and shouting, “Hurry up and like me!”
When Wen Zhihan heard Shao Cixin, she understood immediately.
—Her junior sister wasn’t straight anymore. She was completely bent.
This was the best news Wen Zhihan received in a while.
She couldn’t help but probe further, “If Cixin feels this way, then does she already have a girl in her heart?”
Shao Cixin was suddenly handed a hot potato.
She had no idea how to respond.
Her feelings for Wen Zhihan made her full of worries.
“Yes” and “No” were both insufficient.
So rather than responding “yes” or “no,” she should give Wen Zhihan a signal to pursue her.
“Maybe,” Shao Cixin cleverly responded with a smile. “I’m still single now anyway.”
Wen Zhihan understood.
She should be more proactive and selfish until she became the person Shao Cixin liked.
“Let’s go home. It’s chilly outside.” Wen Zhihan deliberately opened her pocket. “Put your hands in. Aren’t they cold?”
Shao Cixin smiled and inserted her hand without any politeness.
From now on, she was Wen Zhihan’s fake girlfriend.
This fake display of affection must become true.
The ending was near!
Today was Shao Cixin’s first day pretending to be Wen Zhihan’s girlfriend.
On this day, the first unlucky suitor came to their door.
He was successfully rejected by Wen Zhihan and elected as the first person to learn that Shao Cixin was Wen Zhihan’s girlfriend.
Whenever Shao Cixin remembered the man’s completely dumbfounded expression, she would burst out laughing.
She ended up laughing all the way back home.
After Wen Zhihan closed the door, Shao Cixin’s laughter finally subsided a little.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and gave Wen Zhihan a thumbs up. “The fake girlfriend plan is very good. I like it.”
Wen Zhihan found Shao Cixin adorable, so she set down her books. Then she reached out to take Shao Cixin’s hand. She gently pulled Shao Cixin to her side and slid her hair over her shoulder.
“As long as Cixin likes it,” she said. “Now I need Cixin to help me with something. Does Cixin want to hear it?”
Shao Cixin’s face was filled with anticipation. “What is it?”
Wen Zhihan didn’t hesitate. She raised her hand and tapped Shao Cixin’s lips.
Shao Cixin blinked.
Wen Zhihan said, “I suddenly want to try the feeling of having a real partner.”
Shao Cixin: “!”
She delivered the line so decisively!
Then Wen Zhihan pressed Shao Cixin against the door and kissed her until her legs went weak.
Lost in a lovelorn daze, Shao Cixin felt Wen Zhihan’s hand slowly caress her face.
Then a gentle voice drifted into her ear. “You were right. Girls are better than stiff, stinky men.”
A sentence with profound meaning.
When Shao Cixin returned to her senses, Wen Zhihan had already returned to her room.
Shao Cixin was stunned. “?”
What did Wen Zhihan mean by this?
Was it what Shao Cixin thought she meant??
Was she about to leave her single life behind?!
The author (热到昏厥) has something to say:
Coconut toast is delicious~
[1] “放水” (fàng shuǐ) or literally “releasing water” is slang for throwing (intentionally losing) a game.
[2] Here, Xiong Xiong actually states “百年好合” (bǎi nián hǎo hé) or “one hundred years of happy living,” which is usually said to congratulate a couple on their wedding, so Shao Cixin is responding by going “I will definitely be with her for one hundred years!”
