Let Me Go, My Childhood Sweetheart [Rebirth] - Chapter 43

Chu Weiran’s words made Jin Yi soften instantly.

She was right. She had exhausted Chu Weiran the night before, and then Chu Weiran had to witness that scene when she came to find her for a meal.

“Mm… if that’s the case, then let’s both stop being moody.”

“The culprit is Zhai Xiao, not us.”

Jin Yi’s logic convinced Chu Weiran. She looked at Jin Yi with a beaming smile, holding a piece of pizza to her lips. “Open wide!”

“I can do it myself,” Jin Yi started.

“Be good.”

Jin Yi’s face turned bright red. She was truly embarrassed in such a public place. But the Chu Weiran before her was very persistent, so she resigned herself to fate and opened her mouth. After chewing and swallowing the pizza and drinking a glass of water, she spoke slowly.

“I still have something to say.”

Chu Weiran looked up blankly. She thought the matter had already passed.

“What is it?”

“It’s just… I really was jealous. I didn’t like the way Zhai Xiao looked at you, and I liked the way Ye Yuan looked at you even less.”

“Mm… then what can be done to make it better?”

Chu Weiran didn’t know how to solve this either. Other people looking at her wasn’t something she could control; she couldn’t exactly poke their eyes out. Jin Yi lowered her head and frowned, thinking for a long time without coming up with an answer.

Her voice sounded a bit dejected. “I don’t know what to do.”

“Then do you want to hide me away?”

“What?” Jin Yi snapped her head up, looking at Chu Weiran in disbelief. She was afraid she had misheard. Besides, wasn’t that idea a bit exaggerated?

“I said, do you want to hide me away?” Chu Weiran ate as she spoke, her movements slow.

“You… please don’t be so dramatic, okay?”

“Is it dramatic? I’ve always wanted to hide Xiao Yi away.” Chu Weiran tilted her head. It sounded like a joke, but she was incredibly serious.

She truly had thought about hiding Jin Yi away. It had started when they were very young, but the closer she got to Jin Yi, the more she felt disliked, so she eventually gave up on the idea. But things were different now. Jin Yi was her girlfriend and had done those things to her. There was no better time to be open about it.

Originally, she had felt some regret about being the one on the bottom the first time, but now she felt somewhat fortunate. She looked forward to possessing Jin Yi, and she looked forward to Jin Yi possessing her. Since Jin Yi had claimed her first, her tone suddenly became firmer, and the thoughts in her heart began to surface.

“Why… why would you think like that?”

Clearly, Jin Yi found it hard to understand.

Chu Weiran rested her chin on her hand and said slowly, “Because you are too good. So good that I want to hide you so that only I can see you. Don’t you want to hide me away too, so only you can see me and I belong only to you every second?”

Admittedly, Jin Yi’s heart skipped a beat. Imagining that scene gave her an indescribable sense of satisfaction. To stop herself from thinking further, Jin Yi cleared her throat. “Let’s keep eating.”

Chu Weiran couldn’t help but laugh at her serious expression.

“Haha, Xiao Yi baby, you are so cute! Sister doesn’t mind if you think about it, because Sister will always belong to you.”

Jin Yi’s face turned completely red. She stammered, “Just… just eat.”

After the meal, the two wandered around the commercial street and watched a movie before preparing to head back to school. Neither wanted to return so early, because going back meant they would have to separate again. Jin Yi held Chu Weiran’s hand tightly and walked very slowly. For the first time, she didn’t want to live the life of a student. She was only a sophomore, while Chu Weiran was a senior and would graduate next summer.

Jin Yi couldn’t help but complain to Chu Weiran. “I really wish I could graduate right now!”

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re graduating next year. Does that mean we won’t be able to see each other often?” Jin Yi kept her head down, her mood visibly sour.

Chu Weiran stroked her hair and comforted her. “It’s okay. We can live off-campus. Actually… we can live together off-campus right now.”

Jin Yi’s eyes lit up, but then she felt like it might be a bit improper. Was she being too eager? Seeing this expression, Chu Weiran felt her heart melt. She rubbed Jin Yi’s face and gave her several hard kisses.

“You are so cute, Xiao Yi!”

“No, I’m not!”

“Living together is definitely going to happen, but…”

“But what?”

Jin Yi had just denied being eager, but her tone became hurried the moment Chu Weiran added a condition. She immediately felt embarrassed. “I mean… it’s not that I…”

“Yes, yes, I know.” It wasn’t the first time Chu Weiran had dealt with Jin Yi’s duplicity. When Jin Yi was handled correctly, she was easy to talk to.

“In a few days, I have to go back to the company to handle some things.”

“The company?” Jin Yi was surprised. She had previously thought that Chu Weiran only occasionally went to the company for some experience during university. But hearing this…

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that I haven’t been back for a while.”

“What kind of company is it?” Although both families had many industries, Jin Yi was genuinely uninterested in them and didn’t want to take them over. Consequently, she knew nothing about these things.

“A few years ago, the entertainment industry was easy money, so my father opened an entertainment company, but it didn’t perform well. My father handed it over to me to practice with. Currently, there’s an artist being exposed for having a secret child. It’s a bit of a mess, so I need to go back and take a look. Xiao Yi, will you wait for me to come back? When I do, we’ll move out and live together.”

“How long will it take?”

“Probably about a month.”

“That long?!”

Chu Weiran was handling serious business, so Jin Yi couldn’t stop her, but a month was a very long time. Jin Yi was clearly a bit downcast, but she didn’t say anything. Seeing this made Chu Weiran feel a bit uneasy. Having finally gotten together after so much trouble, she didn’t want to be apart so soon either.

But there was no choice. They would have many such separations in the future. She was about to graduate, while Jin Yi would still be in school. Thinking of this, her heart softened completely. She touched Jin Yi’s earlobe and said softly, “How about we don’t go back tonight?”

“Don’t go back?”

“Yes. I have an apartment nearby. Why don’t we go there?”

Jin Yi naturally wanted to spend more time with Chu Weiran, so she nodded and agreed.

Chu Weiran’s family had bought this apartment for her when she started university. Before Jin Yi came to Ling University, she spent most of her time here. Later, to make it easier to see Jin Yi, she rarely returned to stay. However, someone cleaned it regularly, so the place was very clean. It was a one-bedroom apartment of about sixty square meters; not large, but perfect for one person and very cozy for two.

Jin Yi was stunned the moment she walked in. She didn’t know how much effort Chu Weiran had put into it. The shelves were filled with the action figures Jin Yi liked. Jin Yi loved shonen anime; whenever she had free time, she would watch it, even rewatching her favorites countless times.

“Ranran!” Jin Yi’s voice was full of joy. Chu Weiran was infected by her happiness and looked at her with a smile. It was wonderful that Jin Yi liked what she had prepared.

“Mm… I prepared these a long time ago, hoping you might come and see them someday.” Chu Weiran’s tone held a hint of pride. Jin Yi turned to look at her, her eyes sparkling.

She suddenly lunged for a bear hug, kissing Chu Weiran passionately without giving her a chance to breathe. This threw Chu Weiran into a bit of a fluster. She knew Jin Yi liked these things, but she didn’t expect her to be this excited—she was being covered in kisses.

“Okay, Xiao Yi… stop it. These are all yours. Don’t get too excited.”

“Wah! How can I not be excited?!”

At this moment, Jin Yi was as happy as a child, jumping around and even trying to pick Chu Weiran up. Chu Weiran was startled again and quickly stopped her. Jin Yi wasn’t even twenty yet; she really was still a child in some ways. Jin Yi probably didn’t realize her actions were being viewed as childlike, but she couldn’t help it! She just liked this so much!

Being with Chu Weiran felt amazing. In her previous life, she had been blind in both her eyes and her heart. It was rare to see Jin Yi this excited; it only happened when she was facing things she truly loved. With both the things she loved and the person she loved right in front of her, she couldn’t control herself. She picked up Chu Weiran and spun her around in circles.

“Ahhh! Ranran, I love you so much!”

“Put me down quickly!”

“I’m dizzy.”

As soon as she heard Chu Weiran say she was dizzy, Jin Yi quickly put her down and gave her head a comforting pat. She was met with a glare from Chu Weiran.

“Am I a child? Patting my head like that.”

“Mm… I just wanted to show you some love.”

After she said that, Chu Weiran didn’t react much, but Jin Yi herself blushed uselessly. Their bodies were very close. While Jin Yi was blushing, Chu Weiran put her arms around her waist and whispered into her ear, “Since you like me so much, when are you going to give yourself to me?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Yi buried her face in Chu Weiran’s shoulder. The one doing the head-patting had changed. Chu Weiran stroked down her hair. Her voice sounded as if she were coaxing her. “Sister wants to show you some love too, Xiao Yi.”

“Mm, don’t say that. It’s too embarrassing in broad daylight.”

Those words almost made Chu Weiran laugh with annoyance. Her hand moved from the hair to Jin Yi’s ear, pinching it gently as she feigned anger. “Humph, now you know how to be embarrassed. I didn’t see you being embarrassed when you were on top of me last night.”

And she didn’t even know where Jin Yi had learned those moves that left her waist and legs aching. “Don’t worry. Sister will be gentle with you.”

“Don’t say it!”

“Will you give me a few more days to prepare?” Jin Yi huddled in her arms and said in a muffled voice.

Looking at Jin Yi, whose ears were completely red, Chu Weiran said dotingly, “Okay.”

However, that night, while Jin Yi was showering, Chu Weiran suddenly burst in. Her tone and behavior were almost threatening.

“In the bathroom, or on the bed?”

Jin Yi was so startled she didn’t know where to hide. The only door was blocked by Chu Weiran, and there were only walls behind her. “Didn’t you say you’d give me a few days to prepare?”

“I changed my mind.” Chu Weiran crossed her arms with a defiant expression. She changed her mind as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Come on. Let Sister show you some love.”

Without giving Jin Yi time to react, she started taking off her clothes.

“Wait a minute!”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to do this with Chu Weiran; she just needed a little time and… “Let’s go out! I don’t want to do it in the bathroom!”

In the end, Jin Yi still succumbed.
