The sound of a melodious instrument drifted from the upper floors of the apartment complex, lingering and winding, sometimes light and lively when the tune changed.
People strolling in the neighborhood couldn’t help but look up.
“The girl upstairs is playing again. So full of energy.”
The Elder downstairs couldn’t tell if it was a piano or a flute, but the music itself sounded exhilarating.
Su Qingyu was indeed excited.
The first three days of this week hadn’t been easy for her.
Because she’d been seen by classmates on Saturday, she was bombarded with questions about her relationship with Bai Xiaoya as soon as she returned to school.
Some questions Su Qingyu enjoyed answering, but some were… a bit too embarrassing.
And for some reason, Bai Xiaoya seemed to be avoiding her these past few days, even dodging her at night when it came to going to the bathhouse.
When the Homeroom Teacher arrived on the first day, she found Su Qingyu and advised her to keep a low profile, saying that their behavior wasn’t ideal.
On the second day, when they ran into each other in passing, the Homeroom Teacher praised her, saying they were doing well.
On the third afternoon, the Homeroom Teacher sought them out again, this time looking worried, and suggested giving them some leave so they wouldn’t end up with psychological issues from trying too hard to keep a low profile.
Indeed, having a lesbian relationship in school wasn’t ideal, but developing psychological issues from repression was even worse—especially since there had recently been a jumping incident in Baiyuan City.
And so, they were granted a day off.
At 9:30 on Thursday morning, Bai Xiaoya once again arrived at Su Qingyu’s home.
She thought she was there for a strategy meeting—after all, that’s what Su Qingyu had said—but as she entered, she saw only a blonde loli, and no sign of the black-haired, long straight-haired girl.
“Where’s Bai Xia?”
She’s already in someone else’s house, and she’s still thinking about another girl?
Su Qingyu puffed her cheeks in displeasure.
“Forget about her for now. Ayaya, have you been avoiding me these past few days?”
“No, I don’t think so… Maybe it’s just a coincidence, we kept missing each other.”
Honestly, Bai Xiaoya herself couldn’t recall how these days had gone by.
It felt just like her college years in her previous life—blink and another day passed.
But Su Qingyu still wasn’t satisfied.
“But you haven’t been to the bathhouse at night at all!”
“Really? Oh, right,” Bai Xiaoya remembered, “I’ve been showering at noon lately.”
Taking a shower at noon in summer, then stepping out into the sun with its warm rays on your skin—so comfortable.
“I don’t want to hear it. Besides,” Su Qingyu lifted her small face, her watery eyes glimmering, “Ayaya, you’ve changed.”
Bai Xiaoya didn’t quite get it.
Yes, she’d changed, transformed even—but that had happened a month ago.
Nothing much had changed recently, right?
“You’ve changed. At first, you’d charge at me without any reason, demanding answers and saying all sorts of mean things.”
Su Qingyu sat down, her small hand stroking the bedsheet.
“And then you’d lie here with your bare legs.”
That was your doing!
You took off your own skirt—and even your panties!
“But now, you don’t say those things anymore. No more over-the-top words, no pressure, and you don’t try to provoke me.”
Isn’t that a good thing?!
Bai Xiaoya scratched her head, feeling like she couldn’t follow her words.
No, she totally didn’t get it.
Who tries to get themselves yelled at on purpose, anyway?
She went to pour a glass of water, took a few sips to calm herself, then sat by the bed with a pure look in her eyes.
“Xiao Su, which one are you missing—the former or the latter?”
Su Qingyu blinked.
“What former and latter?”
“The former is what you said before—how I acted towards you at first,” Bai Xiaoya tilted her head, a hint of mischief in her eyes, “The latter is what happened after that sentence.”
Like lying on the bed with bare legs or whatever.
Su Qingyu’s thoughts were exposed, and her face turned pink.
“Former and latter… The latter is good, of course, but the former is important, too. Anyway, the former!”
She obviously wanted to skip straight to the latter, but she had an Agreement with Bai Xia, and the former had to be triggered as a Task before moving to the latter.
Damn it, how did that Bai girl hold back all this time?
As for Bai Xiaoya, she understood her thoughts, and for some reason, Bai Xia’s face flashed in her mind.
No other meaning, just thinking that Bai Xia was the same—all perverts.
“To be honest, I want to say this isn’t good, especially since we’re supposed to have a strategy meeting,”
The big-breasted girl sighed.
“But on second thought, it doesn’t really affect you.”
Blink and the day is over—quieter than a college student’s life.
Su Qingyu’s face reddened, and she bit her little white teeth.
“This time, I won’t be like last time, or the time before that!”
The weak me of the past is dead!
“Fine, fine, whatever.”
Bai Xiaoya lay down, hugging a pillow and turning her back to Su Qingyu.
“You say it, so it’s true. No arguing.”
[Ding dong. Congratulations to the Host for completing a villainous act and damaging the Headmistress’s Self-esteem. Please proceed to Settlement while alone. Remaining Settlement times for this week: 1/2]
Hearing the voice in her mind, Bai Xiaoya wasn’t surprised.
She said nothing, only let out a silent sigh, lamenting how easily the Headmistress breaks down these days.
Xiao Xia, Xiao Su—can’t they be a little stronger inside, like herself?
But then again, to be strong inside, your heart has to be big.
And who has a bigger heart than her?
At the same time, text appeared before Su Qingyu’s eyes as well—
[She hurt your Self-esteem. No need for words. Hyper Similarity her, hard! Task requirement: Make her fall first. Details and Task Settlement are the same as last time. Don’t repeat the same mistake.]
Definitely won’t!
Seeing the text, Su Qingyu’s anger instantly turned into excitement.
As expected, making an effort to be angry worked—when extremely angry, you really could lash out.
She’d learn next time that Emotional Threshold is a thing, and trying to stay angry forever wouldn’t work.
But that didn’t matter—the important thing was now.
Bai Xiaoya had already turned over, facing her with innocent eyes.
Come on, come on, let’s get this over with.
Anyway, before she could even think “is this really okay?”, everything would be finished.
But unexpectedly, Su Qingyu didn’t “ga-woo” and pounce this time.
Instead… she got lower.
Even though she wasn’t tall, her head shouldn’t be that low.
Even worse, Bai Xiaoya couldn’t see what she was doing.
The General Big White Rabbit, always winning great battles, was now at fault for blocking the view.
Her big white legs felt breath against them.
Bai Xiaoya twisted her legs, about to say “Don’t mess around, it tickles,” but then Su Qingyu’s gentle voice came from down below—
“Ayaya, have you ever heard of ‘Canon’?”
“Yeah,”
Bai Xiaoya was confused.
“I’ve heard it many times.”
The first time Bai Xia burst into the bedroom to do bad things, that music was playing on her phone—like some battle theme.
“Then listen again~”
Su Qingyu’s cute voice said.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaoya thought of something, her whole body tensing.
No way, don’t!
