Although Xia Mengxi had already roughly understood Lin Xue’er’s childhood through the missing pages in the Diary, when Lin Xue’er described her experiences in the form of a story, Xia Mengxi couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
Logically, at this moment, seeing Lin Xue’er’s face full of sorrow, as a strategist, she should have stepped forward to comfort her and said something touching to gain a lot of Favorability from Lin Xue’er. But she… hesitated.
It wasn’t because she had already completed the strategy and didn’t need to gain more Favorability. Rather, Xia Mengxi suddenly felt that the words she was about to say to fit the mood would become somewhat heavy.
She admitted that she had always regarded Lin Xue’er as just a target for her strategy. Even after succeeding and confirming their relationship, in her perspective, Lin Xue’er was merely a closer friend.
But now… because she felt some sympathy for Lin Xue’er’s past, she was reluctant to make a Promise without love. After all, that would be too irresponsible.
Goodness, she was starting to resemble the little girl in that story. The deeper she understood Lin Xue’er, the more she couldn’t help but take things seriously.
“Xiao Xi, have you rested well?”
Just as Xia Mengxi was tangled in her thoughts, Lin Xue’er, sitting beside her, spoke again, breaking her reverie.
“Ah, yes, I have rested well.”
“Then will you accompany me over there?”
“…Mm.”
Holding Xia Mengxi’s hand, Lin Xue’er led her to the entertainment facility Xia Mengxi had recently used to distract her.
Lin Xue’er then released her hand and walked alone to a swing.
That swing seemed to stir Lin Xue’er’s memories. As she sat down, she slowly said, “Xiao Xi, you know? Before I met you, I often came here.”
“Eh… Why?”
Lin Xue’er smiled softly, her gaze fixed on the pedestrian path not far away, as if piercing through the barrier of time, replaying the past before her eyes.
“Because here, I could use the atmosphere of other families to imagine that I was part of a family too.”
“……”
…Oh my! Why did she suddenly confess all that! Wait, isn’t this the perfect chance to unravel Lin Xue’er’s emotional knot?!
Xia Mengxi gritted her teeth. Facing such a good opportunity, she really didn’t want to miss it. Once missed, who knew when another chance would come.
Earlier, although her strategy mission had no time limit, now that choices appeared after success, she immediately abandoned the idea of a prolonged campaign. There’s an old saying: the later you wait, the more things change.
So this moment was truly the best time to conclude her strategy on Lin Xue’er. After some hesitation, Xia Mengxi finally decided to make the Promise.
Not feeling love now doesn’t mean she won’t develop feelings in the future. Let future her deal with it later!
“Xue’er, let the past be the past. You have me now, so your future no longer needs to rely on fantasies to imagine having a family.”
“Xiao Xi…”
Lin Xue’er looked at Xia Mengxi in stunned surprise. The next moment, the emotions she had bottled up for so long burst forth like a dam breaking, releasing themselves fully.
“I’m so glad to have fallen for you!”
Seeing tears slip down Lin Xue’er’s cheeks, Xia Mengxi stepped forward and embraced her, who was still seated on the swing.
She lowered her head slightly and whispered in Lin Xue’er’s ear, responding to her words.
“I’m the same, Xue’er. Being with you is the greatest luck of my life.”
“Mm… Me too. Meeting Xiao Xi is the greatest fortune of my life.”
Watching Lin Xue’er’s emotions gradually calm down, Xia Mengxi felt a complex mix of feelings. But when Lin Xue’er stopped crying and slowly lifted her head from her embrace, Xia Mengxi immediately put on a gentle smile.
“Xiao Xi…”
“Mm…”
Lin Xue’er closed her eyes, making it clear she wanted Xia Mengxi to kiss her.
She wasn’t a pretentious person. Going along with the mood, Xia Mengxi gently lowered her head, her cherry lips pressing softly against Lin Xue’er’s.
Though Xia Mengxi had been the first to initiate, her courage wasn’t enough. So as time passed, the initiative gradually shifted to Lin Xue’er.
“Mm…”
Lin Xue’er’s advance wasn’t fierce, but since Xia Mengxi didn’t resist at all, she naturally allowed Lin Xue’er to easily invade her territory.
The last time they had such an intertwined, deep kiss was only last night. But back then, due to various reasons, they hadn’t lasted long—just a brief moment.
This time, not only did they surpass last night’s duration, but they almost reached the length of a whole song.
That brought about a problem—due to improper posture, Xia Mengxi’s waist started to give out.
Even worse, this kind of intertwined closeness was something Xia Mengxi was experiencing for the first time in a sense.
As she was explored, she felt that long-lost electric shock sensation spreading through her body, making her grow weak and nearly unable to stand.
Just as Xia Mengxi was about to end this intense entanglement, suddenly, a hand pressed against the back of her head, forbidding her from leaving.
At the same time, another hand guided her legs, crossing them over one by one, and finally embraced her waist, seating her on a pair of soft thighs.
Perhaps because Lin Xue’er had helped adjust her posture, her movements gradually became more intense.
Already unable to endure, Xia Mengxi, unable to suppress the fire burning inside her, let out a sound of pleasure that even startled herself.
Hearing this coquettish sound, Lin Xue’er seemed to be fired up, unleashing her full force.
However, such a fierce assault was simply unbearable for Xia Mengxi, who had a frail constitution.
Under the unlimited demands, Xia Mengxi’s vision blurred more and more until, at last, she fainted.
When she regained consciousness, Xia Mengxi found herself already back at Lin Xue’er’s Home, though she didn’t know when she had been brought there.
“Xiao Xi! You’re finally awake…”
Lin Xue’er, beside her, looked both happy and guilty, and then wore a pleading expression.
“Sorry, Xiao Xi! I couldn’t hold back just now and went too far. Please… please don’t be mad at me?”
Hearing this, Xia Mengxi recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness, and her cheeks flushed red instantly.
She hadn’t expected to have been kissed into fainting! How embarrassing!
“It’s okay, Xue’er. You were just too happy and went overboard. So I don’t blame you. But don’t do it again, okay?”
“Mm! I’ll definitely keep better control next time.”
