Shao Heng and Lu Lan had a good impression of Wen Zhihan.

She was smart, beautiful, and polite. Not only that, but she showed a gentle and considerate nature towards their daughter, caring for her like a true sister.

In any parent’s eyes, this was the most perfect child from another family.

As they walked to Shao Cixin’s dormitories, Wen Zhihan introduced Shao Cixin to Fengcheng University’s campus.

Her voice was gentle and clear, like a flowing stream, making people feel very comfortable.

Shao Cixin was still holding Wen Zhihan’s hand. She’d forgotten to let go, too busy silently observing Wen Zhihan.

They hadn’t seen each other for a long time. And after one year at Fengcheng University, Wen Zhihan already possessed a more regal appearance. From the way she dressed to her temperament and attitude, she had become increasingly elegant, her emotions no longer coloring her face.

She was even more attractive than before.

Such a good-looking and charming person must be popular in school.

Lu Lan and Shao Heng walked in front of them, sightseeing the campus buildings by themselves, leaving Shao Cixin and Wen Zhihan alone.

Shao Cixin turned to look at Wen Zhihan in surprise. “How are you free today?”

Wen Zhihan smiled. “Cixin, I’m not as busy as you think. I still have some time to come over and help show you around.”

If it was for Shao Cixin, then she would make time even if she had no time.

Wen Zhihan wanted to see her crush on her first day at a new school.

“Oh.”

Shao Cixin turned and looked around curiously. “Then where’s your dorm? Is it in the same building as mine?”

Wen Zhihan shook her head.

Shao Cixin suddenly felt a little disappointed.

She thought she would be able to visit her senior sister more often in the future.

“I live off-campus,” Wen Zhihan suddenly said.

Shao Cixin: “?”

Wen Zhihan explained, “When I don’t have classes, I go home to help my dad and learn from him. If I lived in the dorms, I might come back late and disturb any roommates. There are also electronic limitations on campus, and the internet is disconnected during the night, which is inconvenient for my work, so I live alone in a nearby community and walk to school.”

Shao Cixin came to a realization.

“All alone?” She hugged Wen Zhihan’s arm. “Aren’t you afraid?”

Seeing this, Wen Zhihan suddenly approached Shao Cixin and asked in a low voice, “Then Cixin, do you want to move in and live with me?”

Shao Cixin could feel Wen Zhihan’s breath, her impeccable and perfect appearance bearing down on her. A soft smile blossomed on Wen Zhihan’s face. Her jewel-like eyes held Shao Cixin’s gaze like a spell.

At this moment, Shao Cixin’s heart rate accelerated for no reason.

She subconsciously turned her face away. “I’ve just signed in. I haven’t experienced anything in college…”

How could Wen Zhihan kidnap her straight away?!

This wouldn’t work! She needed to at least experience the college dorm life before she considered moving out and living together with Wen Zhihan.

Then again, she had also never experienced living with a senior sister either…

In front of them, Lu Lan returned to their side, taking Wen Zhihan’s hand in hers.

“Zhihan, if our Cixin doesn’t understand anything in school, please teach her,” she said. “But my daughter can also sometimes be naughty. If she’s too naughty, then you should ignore her. You can also act like an older sister and look after her, keep her honest.”

“?”

Shao Cixin protested, “Mom! When am I naughty!”

She was not as arrogant and full of herself as she was in high school anymore!

Seeing that Lu Lan trusted her so much, Wen Zhihan couldn’t help but smile. “Auntie Lu, don’t worry. I will help Cixin if she needs it.

She added, “Even when she’s disobedient, I think she’s very cute, so it’s not a problem.”

The more Lu Lan saw Wen Zhihan, the more she liked her and felt that she was reliable.

Meanwhile, Shao Cixin looked at Wen Zhihan, then looked away.

When Lu Lan and Shao Heng began discussing the scenery amongst themselves again, Shao Cixin whispered to Wen Zhihan, “Thank you for giving me face and not agreeing with my mother that I’m naughty.”

Wen Zhihan laughed lightly.

She said in a gentle voice, “Because I really think Cixin is very cute.”

“…”

Shao Cixin’s heartbeat sped up again.

It was really baffling.

Shao Heng and Lu Lan left.

Wen Zhihan also left.

Shao Cixin quickly established a friendship with the three other girls in her dorm. They helped each other and became familiar with their new campus life together.

Two days after their commencement, the freshmen’s mandatory military training began.

Wen Zhihan brought Shao Cixin a lot of skin care products.

The weather was also very kind to her. It was cloudy for a week^[1], with no sun and only a light drizzle.

Finally, Shao Cixin survived her military training and began college life in earnest.

Freshmen generally took many classes in their first year, but they were not overwhelming, so Shao Cixin still had time to accept Wen Zhihan’s invitations to go out for dinner.

Just the two of them.

The food in Fengcheng’s dining halls and on-campus stalls was very delicious. Wen Zhihan would occasionally eat here before returning to her apartment.

After she’d invited Shao Cixin to eat a few times, she discovered that she and Shao Cixin had the same taste in food, so every time she chose a place to eat, she could match Shao Cixin’s pallet.

Under her tutelage, Shao Cixin was full of anticipation, discovering new restaurants every day.

Like this, time passed harmoniously for most of the semester.

“What are we eating today!”

After class, Shao Cixin held her books in her arms and jumped out of her seat to run to Wen Zhihan, who had arrived to pick her up.

“The new handmade fish ball stand that opened in the school.”

“Great!”

Wen Zhihan curved her eyes.

In fact, Shao Cixin had already eaten these things long ago, but she still applauded and cheered whenever Wen Zhihan announced their next meal, which made Wen Zhihan feel extremely pleased.

Her little sun was just that, a little sun. She never failed to make people feel warm.

“Let’s go.” Wen Zhihan stretched out her hand.

Shao Cixin took it without hesitation. “Yes, yes, I’m about to starve to death.”

They held hands and walked towards the on-campus snack bar under the setting sun.

As they strolled, their conversation flowed effortlessly, covering a spectrum of topics from their academic achievements to their family businesses. They always seemed to find endless things to discuss with each other, never running out of words to fill the air between them.

At the end of their conversation, Shao Cixin sighed deeply.

“What’s wrong?” Wen Zhihan asked, concerned.

Shao Cixin said, “I still prefer living at home.”

She continued, “The internet doesn’t disconnect during the day, we’re not prohibited from using electrical appliances, and we aren’t checked for our hygiene four out of five days a week.

Shao Cixin pouted.

“Did you know, we’re not even allowed to throw a piece of paper in the trash can? To be honest, I’ve wanted to complain since I was inspected for hygiene at school. There was no garbage allowed in the trash can, so what should be in there, me?

“I get that when there’s too much garbage, the can must be dumped, but it’s too harsh to not even let a single piece of paper through!

“When I was a second year in high school, our class also had points deducted for this reason.”

Heavens knew how speechless her classmates were when they saw “piece of paper in the trash can” written as the reason for their point deductions.

That day was a rare moment where the class teacher also sat speechless with them.

Wen Zhihan could see how much Shao Cixin disliked this kind of experience.

A free soul yearned for freedom, including in her lifestyle.

She must seize this opportunity.

“So,” Wen Zhihan asked in a gentle voice, “Will Cixin move in with me?”

Shao Cixin looked at her.

Wen Zhihan continued, “There are two rooms where I live, and one is still vacant. There are no network or power outages, it’s not far from the school, and you can reach campus in a few minutes’ walk. It’s very convenient.”

Shao Cixin’s eyes began to turn.

If she was honest, she was a little moved.

“Is it okay? I won’t disturb you?”

When Wen Zhihan heard Shao Cixin’s response, she couldn’t help but smile. “No. I’m very happy to have someone living with me.”

She added, “And I’m even happier if that person is you.”

The corners of Shao Cixin’s lips raised. “Then I’ll go back and discuss living off campus with my parents?”

Wen Zhihan’s smile became even more sincere. “Okay.”

This way, she could see her cute little sun every day when she opened her eyes. Nothing else was more perfect.

After dinner, Shao Cixin went ahead and sent a message to her parents to discuss the situation.

When Shao Heng and Lu Lan heard that she planned to live with Wen Zhihan, they had no objections. They simply reminded her to pay the rent every month and not cause trouble for others.

“It’s done. My parents agreed.”

Shao Cixin happily set down her phone.

“I’ll apply for a day pass with my advisor later.”

Wen Zhihan lowered her eyes to hide her smile and put fish balls in front of Shao Cixin.

“Let’s eat.”

Shao Cixin didn’t move her chopsticks. She honestly began assuring Wen Zhihan, “Don’t worry, I won’t make your home a mess. I pay good attention to hygiene, and I’m not messy at all. I’ll also pay rent every month, so I’m not freeloading. Anyway, I won’t cause trouble for you. I’m sensible, so don’t worry!”

Wen Zhihan raised her eyes to look at Shao Cixin. 

Shao Cixin was such a lover of beauty that she couldn’t tolerate a dirty environment, so she wasn’t worried about this aspect of them living together. But she couldn’t accept rent.

“Cixin, I won’t take your money.”

“No. Then it’s just freeloading, and there’s no reasoning in the world that could make it okay. You have to accept it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to live in your home with a free conscience.”

“Cixin…”

“Ai-ya, just accept it, accept it, accept it~”

“Okay, okay, I’ll accept it.”

Shao Cixin smiled again. Her spoiled appearance worked.

Wen Zhihan had already made up her mind to charge less rent. She’d only go through the process to make Shao Cixin feel at ease.

She didn’t want to live with Shao Cixin for her money.

She obviously wanted her heart instead…

The two of them were halfway through their snack when a boy suddenly walked over.

He shyly struck up a conversation with Wen Zhihan. “Se-senior sister, hello. Can I…have your contact information?”

Wen Zhihan turned to look at Shao Cixin.

Shao Cixin was shoveling fish balls into her mouth. She observed them calmly with an enthusiastic glint in her eyes, like a melon-eating crowd^[2].

Wen Zhihan sighed in her heart. It seemed Shao Cixin was still indifferent to her.

“Sorry, you can’t,” Wen Zhihan refused bluntly.

When the conversation failed, the boy became flustered. “Excuse me.”

He ran back to find his companion in embarrassment.

Shao Cixin held her cheek. She said to the beautiful senior in front of her, “Our senior sister Wen’s charm is still the same as before.”

Wen Zhihan handed her another fish ball. “Our Cixin isn’t lacking in charm either.”

According to Xu Zhouzhou, several people had already asked for Shao Cixin’s department and name on her commencement day alone.

Xu Zhouzhou almost suspected that she wasn’t hosting a freshman commencement registration center but a new student dating office.

Since this topic had naturally come up, Wen Zhihan asked, “Have you considered dating now that you’re in college?”

“Yeah.”

Shao Cixin gave Wen Zhihan an unexpected answer.

Now that they were in college, they could do whatever they wanted to do. They didn’t bear as much of a burden as they did in high school.

If she was given the chance, of course she would try it out.

Wen Zhihan was joyfully surprised.

This young and beautiful girl who was too arrogant to look at others in high school had actually curbed her arrogance and began to consider falling in love.

Then did she have a chance?

Could she really…have a chance?

She didn’t know the answer.

But this didn’t affect Wen Zhihan’s happiness after hearing Shao Cixin’s response.

As long as Shao Cixin was willing to open her heart and accept another person, Wen Zhihan saw it as a good sign.

A month later, Shao Cixin’s day study application was approved.

She said goodbye to her roommates and moved into Wen Zhihan’s apartment.

The room was already tidied, waiting for her arrival.

Since it was their first time living together, Shao Cixin was a little reserved at first. But after getting used to Wen Zhihan’s presence, she gradually loosened up and began to feel at home.

Now, if they both had classes in the afternoon, they would wait for each other to finish up and go home together after school.

Xu Zhouzhou was walking out of the academic building with Wen Zhihan when she saw Shao Cixin sitting on a stone bench, looking well-behaved as she waited for Wen Zhihan.

Xu Zhouzhou couldn’t help but smile and poke Wen Zhihan with her elbow.

She raised her eyebrows. “ Wow, Senior Sister, you have some tricks, huh? You can even make people wait for you every day after school.”

Wen Zhihan smiled and said modestly, “It’s alright.”

Xu Zhouzhou patted her on the shoulder. “Keep at it. I’m rooting for you to win your junior sister’s heart as soon as possible.”

The two friends separated in front of the building.

Xu Zhouzhou turned to look for her roommate, while Wen Zhihan began walking towards her sweetheart.

“Cixin.”

When she heard Wen Zhihan’s familiar call, Shao Cixin immediately left the bench and approached. “Your classes are finally over?”

Wen Zhihan couldn’t help but stroke the soft top of Shao Cixin’s hair. She asked in a warm voice, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

Shao Cixin shook her head. “No. My ex-roommate and I just left the library. “

She patted the book in her arms. “I already finished my advanced math homework. Since I don’t have any homework left, I feel so relaxed. I can play on my phone all night tonight!”

Wen Zhihan smiled and said, “Don’t wait for me these next two days. Since I don’t have class for the rest of the week. I’m going home after my classes tomorrow. I won’t be back until the evening of the following day.”.

She said in a rare teasing tone, “Can our Cixin go home by herself?

“Of course. I’m not three years old.” Shao Cixin raised her eyebrows. “Senior sister Wen, if I’m three, then that means you’re four.”

Wen Zhihan’s eyes were filled with laughter.

She stretched out her hand. Shao Cixin took it.

The two of them walked side by side to the school gate.

Another peaceful day passed.

After two days, Wen Zhihan was scheduled to come home at night.

In the morning, Xu Zhouzhou paid Shao Cixin a visit.

She handed Shao Cixin a book. “This is Zhihan’s. I’ve finished reading it. Could you help me give it back to her tonight?”

Shao Cixin felt morally obligated. She didn’t refuse, bobbing her head. “Don’t worry, Zhouzhou jie, I will definitely help you return it.”

Xu Zhouzhou smiled softly. “Thank you. I’m leaving now.”

“Bye-bye.”

Xu Zhouzhou waved at her with a warm expression.

Thanks to Wen Zhihan and Jiang Yanqing, everyone had gradually become included in each other’s social circles. Even their parents grew to know each other. Sometimes, Wen Xingyun would ask Shao Heng out to drink, play golf, or even cook together.

Everyone had an amiable attitude towards each other, and the social atmosphere was very harmonious.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Wen Zhihan arrived home.

She greeted Shao Cixin, then went back to her room to change into her pajamas.

Back at home, Joanna said that she was studying hard and rewarded her with a lavish dinner. Before coming back. Wen Zhihan also took a shower just in case she was late, so she wouldn’t disturb Shao Cixin in her sleep with the sound of rushing water.

Shao Cixin sat on the sofa and played on her phone. It took several seconds before she remembered the task Xu Zouzhou had entrusted her with.

She quickly got up and went to her room to get the book. Then she returned to the hallway, walked to Wen Zhihan’s door, and gently knocked on it a few times.

“Senior Sister, Sister Zhouzhou asked me to return this book to you today.”

When she heard Shao Cixin’s voice, Wen Zhihan’s hands, which were on the buttons of her shirt, came to a stop.

The next second, her shirt was unbuttoned again.

“Come in.”

When Shao Cixin had Wen Zhihan’s permission to enter, she raised her hand to turn the doorknob and pushed in.

As soon as she raised her eyes, a smooth and cold white back jumped into her eyes, catching her off guard.

Shao Cixin was stunned. Her steps involuntarily froze on the spot, and her gaze was fixed on Wen Zhihan’s back.

She saw that Wen Zhihan was still putting on her pajamas.

Her dark blue clothes leisurely wrapped around her snow-white body, hugging her graceful figure and elegantly concealing people’s wishful thinking.

Wen Zhihan’s face was calm as she finished buttoning her shirt. Then she turned to look at the person standing at the door.

She watched as Shao Cixin came back to her senses and put the book on her table. Then Shao Cixin departed, closing the door for Wen Zhihan.

Finally, a hand stretched out from the crack of the door and gave Wen Zhihan a thumbs-up.

“Excuse me, ma’am.^[3] Please continue. Have a good night.”

The door closed again.

Wen Zhihan: “…”

What kind of unexpected reaction was this?

She originally just wanted to see if Shao Cixin would have a blushing reaction towards a woman’s body…

Shao Cixin returned to her room.

She closed her door and stupidly leaned on it.

Her mind was filled with thoughts about Wen Zhihan changing clothes.

Wen Zhihan has such a good figure, ah…

Wen Zhihan is so pale, ah…

Gan^[4] ah, I just saw Wen Zhihan changing clothes, ah!

After coming to this realization, heat spread all over Shao Cixin’s face. Her heart started beating faster, so fast that it caused her to panic.

She lowered her head and held her face in her hands, shocked by what just happened.

How did she bump into Wen Zhihan changing clothes?

This—this was so embarrassing!

Wait, something wasn’t right.

Wasn’t it Wen Zhihan who let her enter in the first place?!

Wen Zhihan didn’t mind, so why did she mind?

—That’s right, Wen Zhihan didn’t mind, so what was she making a big deal about?

After taking a few breaths, Shao Cixin calmed down. She climbed into her bed to go to sleep.

But she ended up dreaming of Wen Zhihan that night.

In her dream, the pajamas fell off, but they were never put on again.

She and Wen Zhihan were closer than usual, closer than just holding hands or hugging arms with each other.

In the dream, they were entangled together, and they made spring with each other over and over again.

—Shao Cixin was so frightened that she woke up.

Clutching her blanket, she stared at the ceiling with a profound expression. As if her mind was deliberately working against her, it couldn’t stop replaying that ridiculous dream to her.

At that moment, what dominated her emotions wasn’t disgust, but guilt—guilt directed towards Wen Zhihan.

Wen Zhihan was so kind to her every day, but she actually had this kind of dream about her…Oh my god, Shao Cixin, you beast!

Because of this, she couldn’t sleep for half the night.

She was afraid that she would do this and that to Wen Zhihan again as soon as she fell asleep.

But in the end, she couldn’t resist her overwhelming sleepiness and fell asleep in a fit. She woke up the next day feeling abysmal.

Wen Zhihan could tell at a glance that Shao Cixin was not in a good mood. She quickly showed her concern. “What happened? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask for leave? Should I take you to the doctor’s?”

Shao Cixin’s sense of guilt grew even stronger when she saw how kind Wen Zhihan was acting towards her. She waved her hand, shook her head, and said, “I’m fine. I don’t need to ask for leave.”

Then she ducked into the bathroom.

She turned on the faucet and splashed cold water onto her face to clear her thoughts.

She looked at the person in the mirror and patted her face twice.

Shao Cixin, wake up! Wake up.

It was already embarrassing to have such a dream. It would be even more embarrassing if the person involved found out about it.

Life is like a play. Put your thick skin and acting skills to use and pretend that nothing’s wrong. Otherwise, how could you deserve that person’s kindness?!

It was just a dream. A dream that went out of control. She couldn’t be blamed. That’s right, she was blameless…

Shao Cixin frantically built up her mental strength. She repeatedly remembered how kind and thoughtful Wen Zhihan was to her.

Finally, she managed to suppress the chaotic thoughts in her heart.

She walked out with a thick face, looking calm as if nothing had happened.

Wen Zhihan: “?”

She felt that Shao Cixin was being a little strange today.

“Cixin, are you really okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“But you seem to be in a bad mood.”

“…”

Shao Cixin held onto her skin and said shamelessly, “I was on my phone for too long yesterday and didn’t sleep well. Phones are so fun.”

“…”

Wen Zhihan said, “ You can’t be on your phone for so long in the future. Instead, focus on sleeping well.”

“I understand.” Her guilty conscience made her behave like a model student.

—As long as she was well-behaved, Wen Zhihan wouldn’t be able to see through her flaws!

Seeing how obediently Shao Cixin answered, Wen Zhihan didn’t have anything else to say.

At the same time, she still didn’t know if there was any possibility between them…

Another weekend arrived.

Shao Cixin did not go home this time.

She went out to play with her former roommate who was staying at school, and she didn’t get back until six in the afternoon.

Wen Zhihan was not home.

There was a business mixer this week, and Wen Xingyun brought her along to make connections and expand her social circle. He was laying the foundation for her to inherit Guanglan in the future.

This was the only way for a successor to succeed.

When Shao Cixin graduated and joined the Shao company, she would also experience everything Wen Zhihan was going through now.

But as of right now, she only needed to be responsible for experiencing college life and staying carefree and happy.

So she was alone in their apartment watching TV dramas.

She liked watching dramas. She enjoyed them for their plots and the actors’ performances. Sometimes, she even had the idea of acting herself.

What if she could do it too?

But she was just mindlessly thinking. She had no desire to pursue this idea for the time being.

Around ten o’clock in the evening, Wen Zhihan arrived home.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shao Cixin pressed herself against the sofa and tilted her head back. When she cast her gaze towards the entrance, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She saw Wen Zhihan wearing a beautiful white cape dress with a skirt that bloomed like roses, layers upon layers, looking like fire and thistles^[5]. As the finishing touch, red roses sat on each of her slender wrists and soft earlobes, perfectly embellishing her outfit.

When Wen Zhihan raised her blue eyes to look at Shao Cixin, Shao Cixin was stunned by her beauty.

Her heart began thumping uncontrollably again.

She liked all beautiful things, and this list happened to include Wen Zhihan at this moment.

Wen Zhihan changed into her house slippers and walked towards Shao Cixin. Then she abruptly sat down on the other end of the sofa, closed her eyes, and rubbed her brows, saying nothing.

Shao Cixin blinked.

She saw a slight bluish on Wen Zhihan’s face, as if she was a little drunk.

Alcohol?

Shao Cixin asked, “Did you drink?”

Wen Zhihan nodded.

Shao Cixin asked, “Then are you drunk?”

Wen Zhihan didn’t speak.

Shao Cixin said, “Do you know what you’re doing?”

Wen Zhihan suddenly opened her eyes.

Shao Cixin stared at her, unmoving.

It was normal to drink at a cocktail party. Every time Shao Cixin’s father came back from a mixer, he would also have a slight blush on his face.

But Shao Cixin didn’t know Wen Zhihan’s alcohol tolerance, so she couldn’t tell whether Wen Zhihan was drunk right now. If she was drunk, Shao Cixin would help her back to her room and settle her down.

While she was still hesitating, Wen Zhihan suddenly turned to her and smiled at her. She parted her lips and said, “I know. I am going to rest now. I have class tomorrow.”

Shao Cixin: “…”

“No one has classes on Sunday.” She hurriedly stepped forward to support the swaying Wen Zhihan and stop her from falling over. “It looks like you’re really drunk. You can’t even remember what day it is.”

Wen Zhihan, who was pulled back by Shao Cixin, laughed softly in her ear and responded incomprehensibly, “Mmm.”

After that, no matter what Shao Cixin said, Wen Zhihan would just say, “Mm.”

Shao Cixin began to think that she was acting a little endearing.

She couldn’t help but gently reach out and poke Wen Zhihan’s face. When Wen Zhihan looked at her in confusion, Shao Cixin’s lips pulled up into a smile.

“Cute.” She stood up and reached her hand out to Wen Zhihan. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back to your room so you can rest. Since you’re drunk, you should go to bed early.”

Wen Zhihan raised her eyes to look at her, then at her hand. She obediently held on.

Shao Cixin was about to use all her strength to pull Wen Zhihan up when, the next second, she was pulled down by Wen Zhihan.

Stunned, she suddenly found herself sitting on Wen Zhihan’s lap.

While she knew that Wen Zhihan couldn’t remember certain things when she was drunk, she didn’t expect her to pull people down like this when she was drunk!

Then Wen Zhihan’s hands wrapped around Shao Cixin’s waist and held onto her tightly, as if she was afraid that Shao Cixin would run away or fall down.

Shao Cixin: “?”

She also didn’t expect this embrace when they were drunk!!

She wanted to get up, but then she met Wen Zhihan’s eyes.

Her pupils were bright and unblemished, crystal clear, resembling jewels in the sea, impossible to look away from. At this moment, these pair of gems were quietly looking at Shao Cixin with endless adoration.

Under Wen Zhihan’s tender gaze, Shao Cixin suddenly forgot what she planned on doing and stared back.

The moment their eyes met, time seemed to slow down.

It was the first time Shao Cixin had seen Wen Zhihan’s lashes so closely, and her heart rate inexplicably sped up again.

She didn’t reject being in close contact with her.

She didn’t reject Wen Zhihan.

“Our Cixin is so beautiful, like the moon in the sky,” Shao Cixin heard Wen Zhihan praise her with a tipsy smile.

In this instant, she felt a strange sense of certainty. She believed that these words came from Wen Zhihan’s heart, and she also believed that she had a special place in her heart.

Wen Zhihan’s eyes slowly moved downward, quietly falling onto Shao Cixin’s lips. Then she looked back up.

“What would it feel like to kiss the moon?”

“…”

Shao Cixin was surprised. Both by this question, and herself.

It seemed like…she didn’t want to refuse Wen Zhihan.

“Then why don’t you…” Her voice faltered, her heart beat faster, and the tip of her ears began to feel warm.

Shao Cixin bit her lip nervously. “Why don’t you try it yourself?”

These words fell out of her mouth.

Shao Cixin saw Wen Zhihan pause for a long time.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but it felt like the world had come to a stop.

She began to feel ridiculous about her answer.

Wen Zhihan was drunk, but she wasn’t. So why was she following along with these messy thoughts?! But…But she suddenly wanted to know what it felt like to kiss Wen Zhihan.

It was a very intrusive idea.

A single drink aroused two people’s desires.

The atmosphere slowly became ambiguous.

It was so quiet that someone might think of running away.

Just when Shao Cixin lost her confidence, she felt a hand tighten on her waist, then another hand falling onto the base of her neck—

Their breaths intertwined, and their soft lips touched each other.

Perfume and alcohol did not mix well with each other.

Shao Cixin tasted intoxication between Wen Zhihan’s lips and unconsciously fell for it.

She couldn’t restrain her desires, and the situation was out of her control. In the end, she could only surrender.

After an unknown amount of time, Shao Cixin abruptly ended her foolishness and left Wen Zhihan’s lap. Her face blushing fiercely, she hurriedly took Wen Zhihan to Wen Zhihan’s room and helped her settle down. Then she fled back to her room, distraught.

As soon as Shao Cixin left, Wen Zhihan opened her eyes and raised her hand to touch her lips. Her eyes were clear, but there was a hint of disbelief in her expression.

They had just kissed…

Shao Cixin didn’t reject her advances.

Did Shao Cixin really just kiss her?

Was she dreaming?

But why did Shao Cixin kiss her?

Did she like her or not?

Through the wall, Shao Cixin was blushing crazily on her bed, her heart beating wildly under her skin. My god, what had she done?

Why did she kiss Wen Zhihan when she was sober? Wen Zhihan was drunk, but she wasn’t!

Wasn’t she taking advantage of her?!

Wait!

Suddenly, the hole in her brain opened, and she looked out the window in surprise.

—If Wen Zhihan remembered this in the morning, she wouldn’t hunt her down right???

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

Xin Xin: My life is about to end!!!

Zhihan jiejie: ?

The trick of being drunk, have you learned it well?

Okay, since everyone says they’ll read it then I will boldly write it!

Then this story will come to a finish a little more slowly. I don’t really know what the next story is or when it’ll be released anyway, hehe OvO.

^[1]As many of you are probably aware, in many Eastern cultures, people prefer paler skin over tan skin. As a result, many people (especially young girls) will avoid going out in the sun. When they do, they will often wear hats or hold umbrellas over their heads.
