Jin Hanshuang got dragged off to the karaoke bar again.

Qin Xiaoliu was singing on stage.

She really loved singing.

Not becoming a singer was one of the biggest regrets in her life.

When the song ended, Qin Xiaoliu passed the microphone to the next person.

After whispering a few words to her girlfriend, she switched seats—

—moving over to sit beside Jin Hanshuang.

As soon as she sat down, Qin Xiaoliu said, “Why’d you come alone today? Where’s your little girlfriend?”

Jin Hanshuang picked up a grape. “My little girlfriend went out to have dinner with friends.”

She smiled calmly. “Why? You want to meet her?”

“Of course,” Qin Xiaoliu said with a bright smile, not beating around the bush. “I’m still waiting for you to bring her over and scare me to death! I want to see who exactly it is that could scare me like that!”

Du Mengying was sitting nearby, snacking on fruits and watching the show in front of her. “You probably really will be scared to death when the time comes.”

Jin Hanshuang nodded. “Yeah.”

Qin Xiaoliu became even more curious when she heard this.

Dissatisfied, she said, “You two are underestimating me, aren’t you! Who is it, who is it, come one, tell me already!”

Du Mengying said, “Why don’t you take a guess? Be bold.”

Qin Xiaoliu asked, “How bold?”

Du Mengying replied, “Go wild. We’ve got your back.”

Qin Xiaoliu said, “Give me a hint, at least?”

Du Mengying said, “Hmm…the person might have something to do with Wenxin.”

“With Wenxin…” Qin Xiaoliu began seriously considering it.

If she had to be bold, then this person’s identity must not be ordinary to Shen Wenxin. Just a friend would be too basic.

Qin Xiaoliu said, “Aren’t all of her underlings women…Could it be her assistant?”

Du Mengying shook her head. Nope.”

Qin Xiaoliu guessed, “Her vice president?”

Du Mengying said, “That’s the best you’ve got?”

Qin Xiaoliu glared at her. “What? Are you saying it’s Wenxin’s mortal enemy or something?”

This time, Du Mengying didn’t deny it. She just smiled at her.

Jin Hanshuang also stayed silent. She calmly ate her fruit and listened to her friends play their little guessing game.

Qin Xiaoliu refused to believe it. “No way. Lu Yunshu? Impossible.”

Jin Hanshuang finally spoke. “Why not? Don’t you think Yunshu and I are quite compatible? She’s so pretty, and I’m pretty too~”

Qin Xiaoliu looked at her, then at Du Mengying. “Am I supposed to be laughing right now?”

Du Mengying couldn’t hold it in anymore. She burst into laughter and turned to Jin Hanshuang. “Go on, hurry up and bring your gorgeous Lu Yunshu over for our dear Miss Qin to meet.”

Ignoring the disbelief on Qin Xiaoliu’s face, Jin Hanshuang wiped her hands with a tissue. “Alright, let me ask my little girlfriend.”


Jin Hanshuang arrived home later than Lu Yunshu.

When she walked into the living room, her little girlfriend came out to greet her.

No sooner had they met, they were already cuddling sweetly. One had her hands wrapped around the other’s waist, and one had her hands wrapped around the other’s neck.

“Back so early?” Jin Hanshuang asked. “Didn’t go out after dinner?”

Lu Yunshu shook her head. “It’s cold. No one feels like moving. We had hotpot and headed home.”

Jin Hanshuang placed her hand on Lu Yunshu’s belly, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

When she spoke again, her voice was gentle. “Did you eat well? Are you full? You must eat to have energy.”

She was teasing Lu Yunshu like a little kid.

Lu Yunshu’s mouth curved. “I’m very full, and I have lots of energy. If you don’t believe me, you can kiss me and see.”

“Hm?”

“I’ve got so much energy, I could kiss you for a long, long time.”

Jin Hanshuang laughed.

So cute.

How could someone say something so ridiculous with such a straight face?

But the earnestness made Lu Yunshu even cuter.

She was irresistible.

Jin Hanshuang laced her fingers behind Lu Yunshu’s neck, a flirtatious gleam in her eyes. “So powerful, huh? I’ll have to check if that’s true.”

“Feel free, jiejie”. Lu Yunshu gently kissed Jin Hanshuang’s lips. As each second passed, the kiss grew deeper and more assertive.

They held each other tighter.

Their breaths intertwined, and their mouths formed ambiguous sounds.

The air became thick with intimacy.

Lu Yunshu’s hands stopped on Jin Hanshuang’s waist.

With just a slight movement, you could hear the soft sound of rustling—

Through a layer of clothing.

Lu Yunshu thought of Le You’s teasing words and the little wooden tag again.

Desire quickly swelled within her.

Jin Hanshuang sensed it instantly between their lips and tongues.

When they briefly paused for air, she gently caressed Lu Yunshu’s cheek. “You seem extra enthusiastic tonight.”

Lu Yunshu’s lips curled into a small smile. She kissed Jin Hanshuang’s palm, then her lips. “My wife is so clever.”

Jin Hanshuang chuckled and hugged her close. “What’s on your mind?”

“I was thinking about something.”

“What is it?”

Lu Yunshu took Jin Hanshuang’s hand again, gently rubbing her cheek against Jin Hanshuang’s palm. She stared at Jin Hanshuang, her eyes bright and impossibly beautiful.

But today, there was something else in that gaze—

A hint of teasing.

“I was wondering…when I would be corrupted.”

Jin Hanshuang froze for a second.

Then realization dawned.

She smiled and raised her fingertips, lightly tapping the tip of Lu Yunshu’s nose.

Her voice was low and alluring. “Ah~ So you’re thinking about this.”

It turned out that her little puppy wasn’t so little anymore.

What a coincidence—

She’d been thinking about it too.

So maybe, just maybe, she’d be a little bad tonight.

Jin Hanshuang took Lu Yunshu to their bedroom and pushed her down onto the bed.

It all happened so fast that Lu Yunshu was caught completely off guard.

She tried to sit up, but Jin Hanshuang pressed her back down by the shoulders.

Jin Hanshuang was straddling her legs, reaching up to casually toss her scarf aside.

Lu Yunshu forgot to move—she sat half-propped against the bed, staring at her girlfriend.

Jin Hanshuang took off her own coat and threw it aside carelessly. She lowered her gaze down at Lu Yunshu, the corners of her lips slowly curling into a smile.

Lu Yunshu’s heart skipped a beat.

So beautiful.

How did Jin Hanshuang look good no matter what she did?

She was even more in love now…

At the same time, her nerves began creeping in.

It was finally happening, the thing she had been wondering about for months.

Jin Hanshuang leaned down to kiss her.

She stroked Lu Yunshu’s face.

Her ease of movement and charm pulled Lu Yunshu in even deeper.

Jin Hanshuang’s voice brushed against Lu Yunshu’s ear. “I really like you when you’re like this, saying exactly what you want.”

It was full of praise and affection.

“My Yunshu is so cute.

“My Yunshu wants it.

“Mm…”

Jin Hanshuang kissed her.

On her lips, her checks, and even the tips of her ears, which had turned impossibly red.

Jin Hanshuang gently held her close.

Then…she laughed lightly beside Lu Yunshu’s ear.

Lu Yunshu: “?”

“Baby, you’re so nervous.”

Lu Yunshu didn’t deny it, her expression helpless. “A little bit…”

Jin Hanshuang smiled, then stopped.

As if…that was the end of it.

“?”

Lu Yunshu grabbed Jin Hanshuang’s hand and looked at her in confusion.

But Jin Hanshuang just reached over and patted her head. “Be good, we’re not doing anything.”

She explained, “Jiejie has plans tonight.”

Lu Yunshu: “?”

She had just been…shut down.

Jin Hanshuang pinched her little girlfriend’s cheek. “I’m going to shower now~”

Lu Yunshu could only nod. “Okay.”

Jin Hanshuang took two steps toward the door, then paused. “Oh, I almost forgot.”

She came back to sit beside Lu Yunshu. “Yunshu, do you want to meet my friends?”

She clarified, “As my girlfriend.”

To tell the truth, she also wanted to introduce Lu Yunshu to her friends, just like how Qin Xiaoliu freely introduced her girlfriend to them.

—This is the person I love. She’s wonderful, and I really like her. I hope you can like her too.

When Lu Yunshu heard this, she immediately straightened her posture. She looked at Jin Hanshuang and answered without hesitation, “Yes.”

This was a chance to see Jin Hanshuang’s world. She wouldn’t take it for granted.

She wanted to know everything about Jin Hanshuang.

Jin Hanshuang kissed her. “Then I’ll make the arrangements later~”

Then she really went to take a shower.

She brought her phone with her.

She just realized—they had nothing prepared at home.

She needed to stock up a little.

After all, their future together was just beginning.

Lu Yunshu waited outside, feeling happy.

Even though she hadn’t been corrupted, the person she liked was taking her to meet her friends.

It felt so good to be a part of Jin Hanshuang’s world.


Winter nights always came quickly.

By the time Lu Yunshu returned home from work, City A was already shrouded in a dark canopy, blending with the night sky.

Her girlfriend sat in the living room, admiring the view.

Bright, neon lights spiraled around high-rise buildings.

With all the noise sealed off from their inner world, everything felt peacefully still.

Jin Hanshuang had wrapped herself in a white blanket.

She was holding a half-filled glass of red wine. A bottle sat on the table, along with another glass waiting for Lu Yunshu.

“Hanshuang.”

Jin Hanshuang turned at the sound of Lu Yunshu’s voice, her eyes instantly curving into crescent moons.

She stood and opened her arms. “You’re back. It’s cold, isn’t it? Your hands look so cold, and so do your face. Thank you for working so hard again today, baby.”

Lu Yunshu thought Jin Hanshuang really knew how to comfort people. Just a few gentle words, and she could make anyone feel cherished.

The moment Lu Yunshu saw Jin Hanshuang, all her worries disappeared.

She hugged Jin Hanshuang and openly expressed her feelings. “I missed you today.”

“I missed you too.” Jin Hanshuang kissed her cheek. “I missed my Yunshu many times today.”

Lu Yunshu’s heart swelled.

She buried her face into Jin Hanshuang’s neck, a smile tugging at her lips.

Jin Hanshuang pulled the blanket over both of them.

Lu Yunshu remembered the wine on the table and asked, “Why are you drinking?”

Jin Hanshuang answered softly, “Just felt like it. I want you to join me.”

Lu Yunshu agreed easily, “Okay.”

But her feet didn’t move an inch.

“Just a little longer, then I’ll let go.”

She was being clingy.

Jin Hanshuang smiled and let Lu Yunshu have her way.

This little puppy was just—

Absolutely adorable.

She gently rubbed Lu Yunshu’s back.

Lu Yunshu hugged Jin Hanshuang, soaking in all the energy she could have.

After a while, she slipped out from under Jin Hanshuang’s blanket.

That was when she finally noticed Jin Hanshuang’s outfit.

Jin Hanshuang was wearing a sleeveless nightgown.

The nightgown.

The very same one that Lu Yunshu had once tugged with her mouth—

The one that Jin Hanshuang had quickly changed out of to avoid “leading her astray.”


The author (热到昏厥) has something to say:

It’s been a while since I’ve had writer’s block (shakes off pigeon feathers).

This story should be done in a month.

It’s a short piece, really can’t go on for much longer…
