I Helped My Best Friend with Her Romance—and Fell for the Enemy’s Strategist - Chapter 64

“That’s all. Take a look at my notes. If there’s anything incorrect, you can make changes.”

Lin Ruocheng had recorded all her suggestions and solutions in a notebook.

She had developed the habit of recording student council meetings.

A good memory is no match for a written record.

She was always afraid she might miss something.

Afterward, she slumped over the desk, continuing to curl up like a caterpillar, occasionally taking sips of warm water.

She felt slightly better than before.

Fu Yanxi glanced at her notes, they were neat, and the problem-solving approaches were excellent.

Meticulous, even offering options like A or B.

One could even say they were better than what she, as the student council president, could have produced.

Lin Ruocheng was simply too lazy to bother with these tasks, not that she was incapable of handling student council work.

“You’ve done very well. The summaries and solutions you provided are excellent. Leave the rest to me.”

Lin Ruocheng let out a soft hum in response, still slumped over the desk.

She closed the notebook and put it away.

Fu Yanxi looked at Lin Ruocheng again.

Lin Ruocheng was murmuring softly, her voice barely audible and somewhat fragile.

Like a little kitten.

“I ordered takeout, pork trotter rice with two meat dishes. After your period, it’s better to eat more meat.”

Fu Yanxi placed her hand on Lin Ruocheng’s head, gently stroking it.

She leaned in closer to listen to the little Cancer’s soft murmurs.

She was so adorable.

Fu Yanxi really wanted to kiss her, especially since Lin Ruocheng, even as an adult, still had a bit of chubbiness in her cheeks, like baby fat.

She didn’t just think it, she acted on it.

She kissed her cheek.

Lin Ruocheng couldn’t help but let out a soft giggle.

Caught in the act, Fu Yanxi froze for a moment, her face flushing slightly.

She had stolen a kiss and couldn’t resist.

“Since when does an ice block have the habit of stealing kisses?”

Lin Ruocheng gently tapped the tip of Fu Yanxi’s nose with her index finger, her voice soft and affectionate.

Her ice block could be quite adorable at times.

“Do you not like it?”

Fu Yanxi wasn’t sure what to say.

Was the reason for asking whether she didn’t like it?

This was her first time stealing a kiss, and it seemed the other person didn’t appreciate it.

She made a mental note. Since childhood, she had always been prone to overthinking.

Especially when talking to Lin Ruocheng, every word she spoke was carefully weighed to ensure it was right.

Strangely, she never felt this way with anyone else.

Only with Lin Ruocheng did she tread so carefully.

Perhaps the shift in their relationship made her anxious and more prone to overthinking.

Lin Ruocheng leaned in and kissed the corner of her lips.

She chuckled softly, “How do you feel about me stealing a kiss from you? Whatever you feel is exactly how I feel.”

The little Taurus wasn’t good with words, prone to overthinking and sensitivity.

Lin Ruocheng knew this and understood.

Some people live cautiously, especially in front of the ones they love.

Afraid the other person might not like them.

But she liked Fu Yanxi very much, no matter what she was like.

What she loved was the everyday Fu Yanxi, not the girl who lost herself just to please her.

“I like it very much.”

Fu Yanxi answered earnestly.

And reached out to hug her.

Sometimes she knew she might be a bit clumsy with words, the real her was quite different from the Stream-sensei that Lin Ruocheng had imagined. But she was sincere, genuine, and truly loved Lin Ruocheng.

If it weren’t for Yu Qiuli and Song Wanqing needing a strategist’s help, she probably wouldn’t have taken the initiative to interact with Lin Ruocheng either. After all, having a crush was something better admired from afar.

Bringing the takeout inside, Fu Yanxi thoughtfully opened the bag and containers, then handed over the chopsticks with both hands.

“Eat more meat, it’s good for your health.”

“You should eat more too. Being too thin isn’t good, it’s a bit uncomfortable to hold.”

Lin Ruocheng spoke honestly, though she had no idea how skilled Fu Yanxi was at cooking. As for herself, she could cook and stir-fry pretty well, all learned from her mom. Learning from her mother-in-law, on the other hand, was a surefire way to blow up the kitchen. If they ever reached the point of living together, she could definitely cook for her and help her put on some weight.

“Mm, can you get back by yourself later? Or… do you want me to carry you?”

“You? Better not. Don’t get me wrong, but you’re the one who’s sick, what if you overexert yourself? Come on, didn’t you say you’re going into the studio to record in a couple of days? You should rest up and take care of your voice. I’m not as fragile as you think.”

“I do have a bit of muscle, see?”

Lin Ruocheng lifted her coat and flexed, trying to show off a small, barely noticeable muscle. Though she wasn’t particularly into exercise, she had a younger sister who was a top student at the neighboring police academy, with what must be a six-pack! Last time she sneakily felt it, it was pretty impressive, though still not quite as good as her girlfriend’s.

“Stream-sensei, you really need to take care of your precious health. Where else would I get to hear your voice? By the way, can I come to the studio to listen to the live recording? Your voice is seriously pricey, I remember buying a yuri audio drama you were in, and just because it had your voice, that 15-episode series cost me a full hundred bucks! But it was worth it, especially with your autograph. Not bad at all.”

“If I could listen in the studio, wouldn’t that save me some money? Then I could buy other voice actors’ dramas. Sounds pretty good, right? I heard the CV you’re collaborating with this time is someone I really like too. I was wondering if there’s a chance to work with her. What do you think?…”

“Mm, that’s fine.”

Wait… her breathing grew heavier. It felt a bit chilly. Not only that, but her red lips were slightly pouted, a classic sign of jealousy. Her tone was clearly off.

The little vinegar jar seemed full again. She realized that Stream-sensei was really prone to jealousy. In her dramas, she’d never heard her voice such a jealous character, yet in real life, she was so easily sour, like she could be dipped in vinegar at any moment, leaving her all tangy.

“Fu Yanxi… Little Yanyan… Little Stream… I’m sorry, I swear I only like the audio dramas they voice. Look, didn’t we get to know each other and fall in love because of all those classic yuri dramas you voiced?”

“How about this, I’ll immediately post on my Weibo saying ‘Xi Liu’s wife’s voice actor is the most charming in the entire universe,’ okay?”

Little Cancer immediately picked up her phone.

She posted on Weibo:

【Xi Liu’s voice actor is the most charming in the entire universe! No one else comes close!】

Accompanied by a screenshot of her favorite yuri otome game character, who had long been confirmed to be voiced by Fu Yanxi.

Her Weibo account had several hundred thousand followers.

After posting, she immediately flipped her phone screen to show her.

Though Fu Yanxi didn’t speak.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

“Barely forgiven.”

Lin Ruocheng quickly seized the opportunity to step down from the situation.

She clasped her hands together.

“Thank you, wifey, for sparing my life. I knew you’d be the best to me, hehe~”
