Lu Yunshu’s clumsy compliment caught Shen Wenxin so off-guard that the Shen heiress was still thinking about it when they got home.

She sat down on the sofa. “Lu Yunshu is really strange.”

Jin Hanshuang, who had just finished sending a message to Lu Yunshu that she arrived home safely, chuckled when she heard this. “Oh?”

Shen Wenxin looked up at her. “Is this person surnamed Lu asking for a favor?”

Jin Hanshuang’s hands froze on her earrings.

Shen Wenxin continued, “People who don’t mean well only change their mind when they’re scheming or up to no good. With our relationship, how could she show her kindness for no reason?”

Jin Hanshuang: “…”

No one understood their nemesis better than themselves.

Jin Hanshuang took out her earrings and turned to look at Shen Wenxin. “What do you think she wants from you?”

Shen Wenxin thought for a moment. “No idea.”

She leaned back against the sofa, messaging her neck. “Whatever it is, she’s the one who needs something from me. Since I have the upper hand, why waste energy guessing?”

Jin Hanshuang asked, “If Lu Yunshu really needed your help, would you help her?”

Shen Wenxin considered it before smiling slightly. “Depends on the situation~”

Jin Hanshuang sighed helplessly.

Well, at least now she knew it depended on the situation.

But the timing wasn’t right. Better to save it for the future.

“Do you know why she acted like this tonight?” Shen Wenxin asked.

Jin Hanshuang came back to her senses and shook her head. “I have no idea.”

Shen Wenxin said, “I thought you two were close.”

Jin Hanshuang kept smiling.

Shen Wenxin continued, “She seems to like you a lot.”

Jin Hanshuang’s heart tightened.

Shen Wenxin began speculating. “She acts like such a good girl in front of you. Oh, wait—she is a good girl. She just turns into a menace when she talks to me.”

Jin Hanshuang let out a breath of relief.

Good.

At least Shen Wenxin wasn’t talking about that kind of liking someone.

Jin Hanshuang casually unclasped her necklace, her expression unchanged. “Isn’t it completely normal for people to like me?”

She flashed Shen Wenxin a smile. “Your stepmother is very charming~”

She said it with an air of absolute confidence, as if it was only natural that the whole world would fall to her feet.

Shen Wenxin smirked. “Yes, yes, of course.”

Jin Hanshuang laughed. “Alright, I know you’re tired from tonight. Go change and get some rest. You still have to work tomorrow.”

She paused. “Oh, by the way, what do you want for breakfast?”

Shen Wenxin started naming dishes from the breakfast spots in their neighborhood. She had always loved the local breakfast cuisine.

Jin Hanshuang wrote Shen Wenxin’s preferences down.

After Jin Hanshuang went back to her room, the first thing she did was check her phone for her girlfriend’s messages.

Sure enough, there was a notification on her screen.

[Lu Yunshu]: I miss Hanshuang.

Jin Hanshuang immediately started a video call.

A moment later, Lu Yunshu’s figure popped on screen. She was dressed in her pajamas, her long hair at her waist. Her collar was slightly askew, as if she had just changed and didn’t have time to fix it.

Jin Hanshuang appreciated the view for a moment before placing her phone in front of the vanity mirror. She sat down at her desk and began untying the silk scarf at the base of her braid as she asked, “Did you just change your clothes? I must have called at a good time.”

Lu Yunshu replied, “Mhm.”

Jin Hanshuang said, “Why did you say all those things to Wenxin tonight?”

Lu Yunshu smiled. “I’m laying the groundwork.”

“Hm?”

“So when I talk to her in the future, things won’t feel awkward.”

President Lu had good intentions.

Jin Hanshuang smiled. “Okay.”

She could feel just how much her girlfriend wanted to understand her family.

“One more thing.” Jin Hanshuang’s gaze hardened. “If you ever feel upset again, you have to tell me right away. Don’t bottle it up, okay?”

Lu Yunshu nodded. “Actually, I didn’t get the chance to tell you today.” She smiled to herself. “But I never expected Hanshuang to notice first. My girlfriend is really amazing.”

Jin Hanshuang raised her finger and tapped the air in front of the screen. “That’s because I know you so well.”

Lu Yunshu’s puppy love was passionate, generous, and direct—so it’s easy to see when she’s unhappy too.

For Jin Hanshuang, this was a good thing.

She preferred an honest and transparent relationship, where everything was laid out in the open, compared to a relationship where you were endlessly guessing what the other person was thinking.

In this aspect, Lu Yunshu was a perfect match for her.

Lu Yunshu’s lips curved into a soft smile. “Jiejie understands me. Jiejie likes me.”

“That’s right.”

Jin Hanshuang smiled back at her.

“The more I understand you, the more I like you.”

Jin Hanshuang sighed dramatically. “What to do? I want to put Lu Yunshu in my pocket and take her with me wherever I go.”

Lu Yunshu’s expression was filled with happiness. “That’s wonderful. Jin Hanshuang can’t live without me anymore.”

“Bad little puppy~” Jin Hanshuang reprimanded in a doting voice.

Then Lu Yunshu watched for the first time as Jin Hanshuang began removing her jewelry and make-up like she was featuring on a beauty livestream.

Lu Yunshu’s eyes followed Jin Hanshuang’s hands as she untied her gray floral silk scarf. She gathered her smooth, shiny hair into a simple low ponytail. Then she began taking off her rings and bracelets.

To Lu Yunshu, every graceful movement was slow and mesmerizing.

Then Jin Hanshuang met her eyes.

She smiled softly. “Why so quiet, Little Classmate Lu?”

“You’re so beautiful I forgot how to talk.”

Jin Hanshuang laughed softly. “Sweet mouth.”

“Very sweet,” Lu Yunshu confirmed. “Orange-flavored.”

Then she added, “Jin Hanshuang, bad.”

Jin Hanshuang looked at the screen.

Lu Yunshu was sitting so close to the camera that it felt like her admonishment was whispered right in Jin Hanshuang’s ear—ambiguous, with a hint of coquettishness.

The little puppy was acting spoiled.

Jin Hanshuang suddenly felt the urge to tease her.

“How is jiejie bad?”

“You seduced me, but I couldn’t kiss you.”

“That’s it? Then let me show you something even worse~”

“?”

Then Lu Yunshu watched as Jin Hanshuang’s long, slender fingers slid under a delicate strap. Jin Hanshuang’s gaze lowered, and the smile on her face was so seductive it was almost scandalous. Her beautiful, painted nails pressed against pale, snow-white skin.

“Yunshu, I’m going to change clothes now~”

Lu Yunshu froze.

Jin Hanshuang asked, “Do you want me to change in front of you?”

Lu Yunshu: “…”

Her face had turned bright red.

Since she was naturally pale, she couldn’t hide her reaction.

Jin Hanshuang took one look before she burst out laughing. “You’re blushing, feeling shy now?”

“…” Lu Yunshu repeated herself. “Jin Hanshuang, bad.”

Jin Hanshuang laughed even more happily before turning around to change into her pajamas.

Lu Yunshu saw nothing.

By the time Jin Hanshuang returned on-screen, she had changed into a light, comfortable set of pajamas. She was wearing a calm expression on her face, as if the person who just teased her little puppy wasn’t her.

“Alright.” Jin Hanshuang smiled warmly at Lu Yunshu. “I’m going to wash my face now. I’m hanging up.”

“Don’t.”

Lu Yunshu couldn’t bear to part ways so soon.

She didn’t want to end the call or turn off the video. She wished she could see the person she loved every day, every hour, every waking moment.

Jin Hanshuang picked up the phone. “Alright, then you can follow me while I wash my face.”

She leaned closer to the screen and stared at Lu Yunshu’s face. “Have you washed? You know you can’t go to bed with makeup on.”

Lu Yunshu shook her head. “Not yet.”

She stood up with her phone in her hand. “I’ll wash with you.”

Jin Hanshuang nodded. “Good girl~”

Night fell once again.

The little puppy finally got to visit her older sister.

As soon as she stepped inside, Lu Yunshu handed Jin Hanshuang a gift.

“What is it?”

“A scarf,” Lu Yunshu said. “I think Hanshuang looks good with a silk scarf in her hair.”

Jin Hanshuang kissed Lu Yunshu’s cheek. “Thank you. Next time, I’ll use the scarf my girlfriend gave me to tie my hair.”

“Good.”

Lu Yunshu wrapped her arms around Jin Hanshuang’s waist. Unable to control herself, she kissed Jin Hanshuang’s forehead, then her cheeks. She clung to Jin Hanshuang like she didn’t know how to let go.

Jin Hanshuang couldn’t help but laugh as she was showered with kisses. She raised one hand to stroke her little puppy’s head while reaching out with the other to close the door.

“Why so enthusiastic?”

“Mm, I haven’t seen Hanshuang for a whole day.”

“Haha, alright, alright~”

“Doesn’t Hanshuang miss me?”

“I do.”

Jin Hanshuang wrapped her arms around Lu Yunshu’s neck. She smiled at her girlfriend softly.

“I miss Yunshu a lot too.”

“Then you need to pay off last night’s debt.”

“Last night’s debt?”

Jin Hanshuang watched as Lu Yunshu reached up and removed a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

The next second, Lu Yunshu’s face drew closer.

She captured Jin Hanshuang’s lips in a kiss.

Ah…so this was the debt.

Jin Hanshuang’s eyes danced with amusement as she responded to Lu Yunshu’s kiss.

They held each other close, their bodies pressed together.

Their breaths became tangled.

Lu Yunshu’s glasses swayed slightly behind Jin Hanshuang’s waist.

The warmth of last night’s kiss in the car seemed to linger, steeping the kiss in a fresh sweet-tasting orange flavor.

That night, Lu Yunshu wore her girlfriend’s pajamas.

She was also planning to sleep in her girlfriend’s room, on her girlfriend’s bed.

Happiness was so simple.

Jin Hanshuang finished taking her shower.

The bathroom door opened, and the sound of footsteps approached.

Lu Yunshu, waiting on the sofa, turned her head and was momentarily stunned.

Tonight, Jin Hanshuang was wearing a dark green silk camisole nightdress.

Cool and confident, mature and beautiful.

Lu Yunshu couldn’t take her eyes off Jin Hanshuang.

She thought of last night.

Jin Hanshuang, in that silver camisole dress, teasing her by hooking her finger under the strap, asking if she wanted to watch her change.

Jin Hanshuang was truly…beautiful and wicked.

The wickedly beautiful Jin Hanshuang walked up to Lu Yunshu and pinched her cheek.

“What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?”

Lu Yunshu took Jin Hanshuang’s hand and gently tugged her down to sit on her lap. She wrapped her arms around Jin Hanshuang’s waist, her eyes filled with warmth and admiration.

She said, “Hanshuang is so beautiful. I love looking at you.”

Then she added, “I still remember the bad things Hanshuang did.”

Jin Hanshuang twirled a strand of hair. “Oh? What bad things did I do?”

The guilty were always forgetful.

Lu Yunshu gave a hint. “Last night, during our video call…the camisole.”

Jin Hanshuang immediately remembered Lu Yunshu’s blushing face.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

“Our Yunshu is so cute, such an innocent little puppy~”

Lu Yunshu watched Jin Hanshuang laugh with a helpless expression.

“Not so innocent…”

“Hm?”

“I want to do bad things to you too.”

She also had seven emotions and six desires.

She had wild thoughts—

—about what she would do to her.

Hearing this, Jin Hanshuang was instantly intrigued. She hooked her arms around Lu Yunshu’s neck and asked, “For example…?”

“For example…”

Lu Yunshu lowered her gaze, her lips parting slightly. She leaned forward and…took Jin Hanshuang’s shoulder strap between her teeth.

Then she began pulling it down slowly.

Jin Hanshuang raised an eyebrow but didn’t move.

The strap hung loosely on her arm.

Her little mischievous puppy lifted a pair of innocent eyes and looked up with a teasing smile.

“…”

Jin Hanshuang took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure.

When Lu Yunshu bit her shoulder strap, she felt like her shoulder was burning so hot that her heart started beating faster.

She pinched Lu Yunshu’s cheek. “You learned bad things.”

Lu Yunshu was still smiling. “Teacher Jin taught well.”

Unfortunately, Teacher Jin was better.

Jin Hanshuang offered her shoulder to Lu Yunshu. “Finish what you started. Put it back on for me.”

This time, Lu Yunshu didn’t use her mouth.

She hooked her finger around the delicate strap, the back of her skin brushing against Jin Hanshuang’s arm as she carefully pulled the strap back in place.

Then, she kissed Jin Hanshuang.

“All done.”

Jin Hanshuang stood up. “I’m going to change my clothes.”

Lu Yunshu didn’t understand. “Why?”

Jin Hanshuang tapped Lu Yunshu’s nose. “Because I’m afraid our President Lu will be corrupted by bad influences.”

This little puppy was getting too dangerous.

She couldn’t let her “mature” so quickly.

Some things…could take their time.

Lu Yunshu sat where she was, watching as Jin Hanshuang grabbed a much more modest set of pajamas and disappeared back into the bathroom.

“…”

Lu Yunshu rubbed her temples, quietly looking in the direction of the bathroom.

But she didn’t mind being “corrupted” by Jin Hanshuang at all…
