I Helped My Best Friend with Her Romance—and Fell for the Enemy’s Strategist - Chapter 58

On the other side of the room, Song Wanqing was hugging a comforter.

She plopped down on the sofa. Out of mutual respect, it was probably best not to get handsy for the time being.

Song Wanqing tried her best not to look at Yu Qiuli.

The other woman smelled so good, and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to control herself.

“Aren’t you coming over to sleep with me?”

Yu Qiuli gazed at her.

Logically speaking, after dating for ten months, they should have already done all sorts of intimate things.

But she and Song Wanqing had never engaged in anything more intimate.

Their kisses had been limited to pecks on the cheek.

She had wanted to try kissing on the lips, but she hadn’t expected to be so forceful that she’d bite her and draw blood.

And now, the other woman was probably traumatized.

“I… I think I’ll sleep on the sofa. I’m so sorry for bumping you. Is it still bleeding?”

Song Wanqing truly hadn’t expected their kissing scene to turn out like this.

It had turned into a bloody incident.

She was sorry, so very sorry.

She didn’t know how to kiss; this had been her first time initiating.

One initiative had resulted in a lifetime of introversion.

“Can you take a look for me? I can’t tell.”

“Okay.”

Song Wanqing turned on the bedside lamp. In the dim light, she saw the spot she had broken with her teeth.

It seemed to have stopped bleeding.

Meanwhile, Yu Qiuli stared intently at the earnest and careful girl before her.

For some reason, her gaze drifted down and fixed on her lips.

The pad of her thumb gently brushed across her lip.

Song Wanqing swallowed, feeling the other woman’s throat move in response.

She knew immediately what she wanted to do.

She wanted to kiss her too, but she was afraid of a repeat experience.

“It’s okay. This time, we can go slower. We can learn, slowly.”

“Mm.”

The two of them drew closer and closer, and then…

They took out their phones, opened Baidu, and searched for “how to kiss correctly.”

Later, when Lin Ruocheng found out that these two had spent their first night together searching online for a ton of information on how to kiss, even transcribing the techniques into a PowerPoint presentation and then following the theory word by word to learn, she couldn’t stop laughing.

What kind of person, on their first night away with their girlfriend, sits on the same round bed searching for how to kiss and what kissing techniques are?

You couldn’t say they weren’t serious; they even made a PPT.

But you couldn’t say they were too serious either; they also watched kissing scenes from movies and TV shows.

After watching, they even wrote 1,000-word reflection essays for each other.

Shouldn’t this have been the time to wash up and switch to the R-18 channel?

To experience the joys of adulthood?

She couldn’t believe this was all they did.

She had been excited for them all night for nothing.

Then again, what could she have expected them to do?

Come on! Kissing is all about the atmosphere!

When it feels right, you just kiss! What’s with all this ceremony?

Besides, it’s your own girlfriend, not someone else’s.

Just pull her over and start gnawing.

It’s not like she won’t let you.

…

Early in the morning, Lin Shuyi spotted a small, red hickey on Fu Yanxi’s collarbone. She knew instantly that her older sister was the culprit. Truly worthy of being her sister, that speed… tsk tsk…

She broke into the most classic “auntie smile.”

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the other woman had bought her a limited-edition LABUBU was enough.

If the two of them ever fought in the future, she would resolutely stand by Fu Yanxi’s side.

Please, a wise person adapts to the circumstances!

Besides, she knew what Fu Yanxi was implying. Didn’t she just want her to put in a few good words?

Simple. Far too simple.

Forget whispering sweet nothings in her sister’s ear; she could practically tie up the skittish, awkward, and flight-prone Lin Ruocheng and drag her back.

Lin Ruocheng: “…”

…

The National Day holiday passed by in the blink of an eye, neither too fast nor too slow.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the eight-day holiday, they packed up and checked out.

After all, the drive back from this place would take three hours.

Fu Yanxi drove on the way back.

Lin Shuyi, of course, sought out her own sister, snuggling up to her side.

Now that her sister was grown up, she was no longer willing to be clingy with her.

Especially compared to her “sister-in-law,” her attitude was completely different!

They were both girls!

Why was there such a huge disparity?

She was even blood-related to Lin Ruocheng!

She had been here for seven and a half days and had been fed a full seven and a half days of “dog food.”

Her desire to find a partner had reached its peak!

She wanted to be in a relationship too!

Was there really no one who had a secret crush on her for seven years?

Thinking about it, it was impossible.

Lin Ruocheng was a girl who had been raised according to the standard since childhood.

Puffy dresses and princess gowns from a young age.

As for herself, she had always worn all sorts of androgynous clothes.

Most of her time was spent participating in school sports meets, playing basketball, and kicking soccer balls.

She had a neat, short haircut.

It wasn’t that no one had ever handed her a love letter, but she always mistook them for trash.

The next second, they’d be in the garbage can.

Back then, she often wondered why so many people were willing to give her all sorts of waste paper.

Any spare cash she had went straight into her mouth for snacks.

If only she had been a little quieter, a little more perceptive, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.

“It’s hot… Why are you sticking to me? Hurry up and find a partner to stick to.”

Lin Ruocheng mercilessly pulled her arm away.

Could this person please be mindful of personal space?

Why was she sticking so close?

Lin Shuyi didn’t care about any of that. She’d snuggle first and deal with the consequences later.

Once she got back, she would have training every day and barely any time to go out.

Moreover, her instructor would absolutely not want to let her out.

It proved that sometimes, being too outstanding wasn’t a good thing.

Her score on the college entrance exam had been over a hundred points higher than the admission cutoff. She could have chosen a better school.

But she had insisted on coming to the criminal police academy.

After enrolling, she had also taken first place in every martial arts competition.

She had saved up all the scholarship money she’d won.

“No, you’ve become so distant with me! We’ve known each other for so many years, and now you’re tired of me. I won’t allow it! I don’t care, I’m snuggling!”

Lin Ruocheng had no choice but to take out her phone.

She snapped a photo and then threatened her, “If you don’t get up right now, I’ll send your old photos to your school. How about we let them see what you’re like in private? I have a lot of dirt on you on my phone.”

Lin Shuyi immediately sat up straight.

She flashed an obsequious smile.

“Sis, my dearest sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong.”

She then squeezed her shoulders, giving her a massage.

She was clearly born only a minute earlier.

But she was the older sister, and she was the younger sister. It was definitely unfair.

She had protested more than once.

But the protests were futile.

She knew all too well that Lin Ruocheng held a lot of blackmail material on her. For example, when she was little, she had climbed trees to raid birds’ nests and waded into rivers to catch shrimp. Or the time she knocked over their mom’s cosmetics and then blamed it on their mom.

That led to their mother being kicked out of the bedroom that night and coming to their room for an interrogation.

Under the threat of their mother’s long needle, she hadn’t even been pricked before she tearfully confessed everything.

She hadn’t even held out for a minute.

There were so many photos.

This was the most important reason, and the only reason, why Lin Shuyi had to be good to Lin Ruocheng.
