I Helped My Best Friend with Her Romance—and Fell for the Enemy’s Strategist - Chapter 46

After finally switching back, Fu Yanxi took the initiative to hold her hand. Even in the dimly lit haunted house, she could feel her own heartbeat racing, not from fear, but from the excitement of holding the hand of the girl she had secretly admired for so long.

Lin Ruocheng leaned close against her.

Hearing the other’s flustered heartbeat, she chuckled softly, tilting her head slightly to whisper into her ear:

“Xiao Xixi’s heart is beating so fast… Do you really like me that much?”

“Mm.”

Fu Yanxi didn’t deny it. There were so many things about the other person that drew her in.

She simply liked someone like this.

She didn’t know why.

She just did.

Liking and loving are both emotions, how can such things ever be clearly explained?

A rustling sound came from behind.

Both of them turned to look at the same time.

Yu Qiuli and Song Wanqing both wanted to press close against each other, which resulted in their heads bumping together.

Why couldn’t these two learn to be more flexible?

Couldn’t just one of them lean in?

But then again, this did bring the two of them a little closer. Why hadn’t the task been completed yet?

Actually, it had been completed perfectly.

The two strategists decided to temporarily ignore the two “NPCs” NPCs had their own way of falling in love.

Lin Ruocheng leaned against Fu Yanxi.

Fu Yanxi really liked her little Orange.

From time to time, a few “ghosts” would jump out to scare them.

Lin Ruocheng vividly acted the part of a frightened girl, burrowing into Fu Yanxi’s arms again and again.

Even though she knew this person wasn’t actually afraid of such things, she still wrapped her arms tightly around her waist.

This was what you called the most natural, most standard kind of intimacy.

When the faint light fell on the two of them, the two NPCs not far behind saw it.

So, this was how it was done?

Yu Qiuli immediately pressed close against Song Wanqing.

Song Wanqing’s face instantly flushed bright red.

It wasn’t that she disliked close contact, but when the other leaned in just now, it happened to press right against that spot.

A tingling sensation quickly spread throughout her entire body, it felt strange.

So strange that even her face felt a little warm.

Fu Yanxi carried the scent of firwood and agarwood. For some reason, it always gave the impression that she was very steady and reliable.

As long as she was by her side, it felt like the sky had cooled, and no matter what happened, she could handle it.

Lin Ruocheng loved that feeling.

She felt like she could press her whole body against the other without any problem.

From the moment they entered the haunted house until they came out, it took almost an hour.

When they emerged, Lin Ruocheng was still hugging the other’s waist with both arms, her head completely buried against her.

After all, she was already her girlfriend, hugging and cuddling were perfectly normal, right?

Besides, this was Stream-sensei Xi Liu!

She had landed herself a top-tier catch at first try. She lifted her head to look at the other’s face, then nestled back into her embrace.

For some reason, she felt like laughing out loud right now.

Seriously, this was the most authoritative voice in yuri audio dramas and now she was her girlfriend.

How dreamy was that?

Fu Yanxi had no idea what the other was thinking.

She just reached out and ruffled her hair.

It seemed like she used orange-scented shampoo, even the fragrance of her hair smelled like fresh, ripe oranges.

Not far behind them, the two NPCs also walked out.

Song Wanqing’s face remained bright red the entire time.

Yu Qiuli finally noticed the other’s flushed face and reached out to touch it gently.

It was quite warm.

“Wanqing, what’s wrong? Are you feeling hot?”

Song Wanqing quickly waved her hands in denial.

“No, no, it’s not that… I’m just… just a bit scared… scared…”

Song Wanqing felt an overwhelming urge to bury her head like an ostrich.

She couldn’t bring herself to face Yu Qiuli anymore, her body had actually responded positively to those casual touches.

Even more unsettling were those ambiguous sensations, especially how her body had reacted to Yu Qiuli’s unintentional caresses. She had no idea how to handle these feelings.

How shameful, to have such reactions to her inadvertent touches.

Instantly, she felt their couple relationship was no longer pure.

Lin Ruocheng lifted her head from Fu Yanxi’s embrace.

She glanced at Song Wanqing.

Her face was indeed flushed red, so red it could rival a traffic light.

Unbearably crimson.

“What’s going on with you?” Lin Ruocheng released her hold, feeling she should check on her best friend.

Especially with such a red face.

“Ah? I… I’m fine… really…”

Fu Yanxi stood in place, glancing at the time.

It was almost six o’clock.

“Orange, let’s treat them to dinner.”

“Sure, whatever you decide.”

Lin Ruocheng had no objections. Today marked their first official day as a couple.

It was only right to properly invite the other two for a meal.

Worried about the injury on Fu Yanxi’s face, they opted for lighter fare instead of anything too heavy, choosing a congee restaurant.

They ordered several bowls of congee and some light snacks like steamed buns.

Keeping it simple and mild.

“The main reason we’re treating you two today is to announce something.”

“What is it?”

Lin Ruocheng smiled and leaned close to Fu Yanxi, gently pecking her lips.

The touch was incredibly soft.

There was even a faint scent of meat buns lingering.

Fu Yanxi coughed lightly a few times and took a sip of water.

Pretending as if nothing had happened, a smile playing on her lips.

“From this, you should be able to tell, right? Fu Yanxi and I are together now, it’s not a pretend relationship.”

“Huh? Really?”

Song Wanqing’s jaw dropped. Wasn’t it just a month ago that this person swore she would never date?

And now, a month later, she’s announcing she’s with Fu Yanxi?

Wasn’t that a bit too quick of a turnaround?

And shouldn’t her best friend have taken a bit longer to agree?

Even if the other person was her favorite voice actor, shouldn’t she have held out a little?

As the future heir of the company, how could she be swept off her feet so easily?

“Have you ever seen fake couples kiss? But today is actually our first day together.”

Lin Ruocheng gazed at Fu Yanxi as if her eyes were filled with stars.

She adored the voice of this radio drama voice actor.

Especially all the leading roles Fu Yanxi had voiced, she had listened to every single one. Even if it was just a minor role with a single line, she’d tune in. There was no helping it, she was utterly captivated by that versatile, priceless voice of Lancheng. Of course, the person behind the voice was infinitely more precious. And most importantly, this person was now her girlfriend!

It felt just like a dream.

“First day? And you’re already kissing on the first day?”

Lin Ruocheng’s bold move left the other two completely stunned. They had been dating for nearly ten months.

Yet they had never kissed, it always felt somewhat inappropriate.

But who would have thought that these two kissed on their very first day together?

Don’t they think it’s moving too fast?

“If not on the lips, then where?”

Lin Ruocheng’s words instantly made the three people in front of her lower their heads, blushing.

The main reason was that her voice sounded downright flirtatious.

Whenever she deliberately lowered her tone, it would transform into a seductive, mature woman’s voice.

It wasn’t something to listen to for too long, prolonged exposure could easily lead to censored thoughts.
