“What’s wrong, Ah Yang? You look really out of it.”
Qingning tilted her head in confusion.
“Ah Ning, listen to me!”
Yangmei was out of breath, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
She was a little anxious, after all, if some words couldn’t be said now, maybe they never would be said for a lifetime.
How many beautiful romantic relationships were shattered by a single moment of hesitation?
“Alright, Ah Yang, take a moment to catch your breath.”
Qingning gently patted Yangmei’s back as she spoke.
Then, without argument, she took Yangmei’s hand and led her toward the car.
“Let’s get in the car for now,” she suggested.
This familiar action held a completely different meaning in Yangmei’s eyes at this moment.
She turned her head away, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it.
“What’s wrong, Ah Yang? Why are you so distracted?”
The girl turned around, looking a bit puzzled.
“Is it because of that liar?”
Actually, Qingning wasn’t wrong. Yangmei really did feel at a loss for how to face Qingning after what that “liar” had said.
She was certain she cared about Qingning, but she had never thought that this care could be called “love.”
But since Jiang Cheng had helped her break through that barrier, she had to face her true feelings now.
So… what should she do?
She thought of Jiang Cheng’s words.
—Let her feel your gentleness.
Yangmei seemed to have found a solution.
“Hurry and buckle your seatbelt.”
After getting in the car, Qingning sat in the driver’s seat, speaking as she rolled up the window.
“Ah Yang isn’t in a good state today, so I’ll do the driving.”
“Heh heh, don’t underestimate my driving skill. You know, back when I was in university, I got my license on the first try!”
Completely defenseless, she was forced to turn her head toward her good best friend.
A rough, large hand suddenly clasped the girl’s chin, gently pulling it. Her vision went dark for a moment, and a soft touch landed on her lips.
It was Yangmei kissing her.
The girl’s struggle lasted only a moment before it failed, leaving her to allow the other to do as she pleased.
But in the end, Yangmei was still a rough person, clumsy and childish in her movements, needing Qingning, a girl equally inexperienced in love, to guide her.
Otherwise, she’d just be a fool who only knows how to bite…
It was hard to imagine that Yangmei, known as the “muscle fool,” ended up being the passive one.
Indeed, the short one attacks, the tall one receives (
After a long while, the two finally pulled apart slightly.
Still connected by a thin thread.
Feeling the lingering fragrance on her lips, Yangmei lowered her head.
She spoke in a flustered, quiet voice, looking like a child who had done something wrong and was willing to accept punishment.
“I’m sorry, Ah Ning…”
Qingning let out a soft laugh, reaching out with both hands to cup Yangmei’s face.
“Ah Yang, do you know… how long I’ve been waiting for this day?”
She gently brushed the stray hairs from the woman’s face, looking at her tenderly.
“How could I bear to blame you, you idiot.”
As she spoke, she shifted slightly, changing into a kneeling position, leaning toward Yangmei.
“So this time, let me take the lead. You watch and learn.”
“Your movements were too rough. Not good.”
After another long while, the car finally started moving slowly.
Qingning, sitting in the driver’s seat, had a rosy complexion. She licked her lips, seemingly still unsatisfied.
As for Yangmei, she was curled up entirely in the passenger seat, not daring to lift her head.
Oh no, oh no, those passersby definitely saw all of that.
Ugh… so embarrassing…
But the funniest part was, even though she tried hard to shrink into the corner and make herself inconspicuous, she still looked much bigger than the girl beside her.
“Dear, why are you so proactive today?”
Qingning suddenly spoke.
This new form of address made Yangmei’s face flush crimson. She protested quietly:
“Ah Ning, you should just call me Ah Yang. Calling me ‘dear’ is way too…”
“Alright, dear.”
It seemed Yangmei would need some time to get used to this new form of address, as well as the fact that her good best friend had always had designs on her.
“It was a classmate named Jiang Cheng. She recommended I do that.”
The woman said in a low voice.
“Classmate Jiang Cheng?” Qingning was a bit surprised.
“You went to her psychological treatment room?”
Yangmei froze for a moment, looking at Qingning.
“I met this classmate named Jiang Cheng while teaching music appreciation,” Qingning explained.
“She has a high level of musical literacy, and her hair color is quite rare, so I remember her clearly.”
“She’s a good student who never skips class. I’ve even booked her psychological treatment service. Although I still have to wait half a week, I’m quite curious. After all, I heard… dear, you’ve been to Jiang Cheng’s psychological treatment room. How was it?”
Although this form of address still felt unnatural to Yangmei, she forced herself to calm down and began recalling the afternoon’s events.
She weighed her words, then said:
“Classmate Jiang Cheng is a very impressive girl.”
“Her treatment is really effective. It feels like there’s some kind of magic to it. Just hearing a few words from her, I felt my whole body become light and airy, and the pressure disappeared all at once. I even…”
The blush hadn’t faded, yet another wave of burning red spread across Yangmei’s face.
“I even fell asleep right there, in front of her.”
She said quietly.
“That amazing?” Qingning was astonished.
“Mm.”
Yangmei nodded, reaching out toward the girl, as if habitually about to take her hand.
But realizing the other was still driving, the woman paused, then slowly withdrew her hand.
The girl suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and gently pulled it, placing it on her own thigh.
Through the thin fabric, Qingning could even feel the calluses on those hands, marks left by years of practicing pull-up-type movements.
Rough, yet strangely reassuring.
Likewise, Yangmei could feel Qingning’s slender yet soft thigh through her skirt.
Somehow, this position sparked certain thoughts, and Yangmei’s face turned red yet again.
Then, she heard Qingning say:
“Dear.”
The girl smiled.
“In that case, we should thank classmate Jiang Cheng.”
“Mm.” Yangmei obediently nodded. “Whatever you say, Ah Ning.”
“How about this? Next time, we’ll go together to thank Jiang Cheng. What do you think?”
“Mm.”
“If Jiang Cheng’s psychological treatment is really as good as you say, then… dear, we’ll go together from now on, alright?”
“Okay~”
“It’d be best if we could invite her to be our witness, to give us her blessing. When we get married, we’ll have to go thank classmate Jiang Cheng too.”
M-m-marriage!
That fast?!
Yangmei replied very, very quietly:
“Then…”
But Qingning heard it loud and clear.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, she broke into a smile.
Night had fallen.
Good.
Tonight’s show was just beginning.
“Huh? Ah Ning, where are you driving? Didn’t we say we were going to eat?”
“Let’s go home first. I’m feeling a bit sleepy.”
From then on, a campus legend began to circulate at Aidelisa College.
It was said that for two girls in love to attain happiness, they must undergo treatment together, go to the psychological counseling room on the second floor of the university student activity center, and lie on the same bed.
Moreover, they must invite a white-haired maiden to officiate their wedding.
If completed, that white-haired maiden would bless them, allowing them to stay together happily forever.
And that white-haired maiden who brought them happiness was affectionately called by them—the Princess of Edelisa.
