Married The Crybaby Childhood Crush First, Then Fell in Love - Chapter 35.1

Yan Qiu: “I have a meeting tonight, so I’ll be a little late picking you up.”

Yan Qiu dropped Lin Wanqing off at the school gate. With the winter break approaching, many students had lost their drive to study and were leaving the campus in twos and threes to go out.

Lin Wanqing was wearing a creamy white down jacket, her small, palm-sized face buried in the fluffy fur collar.

Lin Wanqing softly agreed: “Okay.”

She kept her head down, not daring to look at Yan Qiu. The kiss from that night had kept Lin Wanqing awake.

The scorching, burning sensation across her body was like being thrown into a pot of boiling water, the helplessness of a fish trying to escape, the physical struggle of being pressed down on a chopping board, rendered powerless.

Whenever she touched Yan Qiu, even her legs would turn to jelly.

It was a very strange feeling, one she had never experienced in this life.

A van stopped on the street across from the school. A gap was opened in the window, and a man wearing a baseball cap pulled out a camera, aiming it at Lin Wanqing…

“Hard work pays off, we finally got a scoop on Yan Qiu’s scandal.”

“Selling this to the media will earn us a good amount of money. The guys can finally afford a new car.”

“Damn, are these two really married? Standing together, they look like I look when meeting my boss.”

Lin Wanqing noticed the paparazzi across the street. Steeling herself, she took a step forward and pressed Yan Qiu, who was in the wheelchair, against the car door.

Yan Qiu was startled. “Lin Wanqing?”

Lin Wanqing lowered her head and forcefully kissed her. Yan Qiu met her lips and tongue, closing her eyes, her heart pounding against her throat.

“There are paparazzi,” Lin Wanqing whispered.

Lin Wanqing’s body trembled with fear. Not wanting anyone to suspect the truth of their relationship, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and kiss her.

The lips were soft and warm. Lin Wanqing’s tongue lightly touched the inside of Yan Qiu’s mouth, trembling slightly.

“Mmm…”

By the school gate, it felt as if countless eyes were watching them, yet it also felt like a complete illusion.

Lin Wanqing was typically shy; hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes, dripping onto the back of Yan Qiu’s hand.

This kiss had exhausted all of Lin Wanqing’s courage.

Lin Wanqing only ended the kiss after the van across the street drove away.

A transparent strand connected them. Yan Qiu used a handkerchief to wipe away the moisture at the corner of her lips.

Lin Wanqing was flushed with shyness, her whole body radiating heat, as she kept her head down, not daring to look at Yan Qiu.

What was the difference between her impulsive kiss and a pig that had stolen a beautiful cabbage?

She had desecrated the great beauty.

Lin Wanqing covered her face like a little quail. “There were paparazzi just now. I only did it on the spur of the moment to…” to take advantage of you.

Yan Qiu was stunned by the sudden kiss. The girl’s kiss was impulsive, fervent, and uncoordinated, leaving her unable to resist.

She had thought Lin Wanqing was reluctant to part with her.

She didn’t expect it was because of the paparazzi.

Yan Qiu pressed a finger against the corner of her lips, which had been bitten red. “Hmm, the paparazzi are gone.”

The girl, standing in the cold wind, stammered, “I’m sorry!”

Yan Qiu offered a wry smile. “It’s fine. I’m very happy for Sweetie to take the initiative to kiss me.”

Lin Wanqing’s face relaxed. “You really are a good person.”

Yan Qiu: “…”

Yu Fei: “Boss got the ‘good person’ card again. Boss really is a good person.”

Yan Qiu: “Shut up and drive.”

After Lin Wanqing walked into the campus, Yu Fei drove after the van ahead.

Yu Fei pressed the gas pedal and, with a delicate hand gesture, said, “It’s all because Miss Lin wore such a cute creamy white outfit today, clearly tempting the boss to lose control.”

Yan Qiu: “…You have a point.”

Yu Fei, as the boss’s confidante (scratched out), said, “Miss Lin probably researched the boss’s preferences and specifically chose a place with paparazzi to proactively get close. How cunning~”

Rationally, Yan Qiu felt this was incorrect, but emotionally, she thought it made perfect sense.

“It was thoughtful of Lin Wanqing to go to such effort.”

With Yu Fei handling the negotiation, the paparazzi quickly handed over the photos and destroyed all the unauthorized files.

The two paparazzi, who had been ready to make a fortune, were close to tears.

Yan Qiu looked at the stolen photos, examining them back and forth for five minutes.

“Not bad photos.”

The two timid paparazzi bent over, extremely frightened, expecting the rumored big boss to be furious. Instead, a light chuckle came from above their heads.

“With this skill, being a paparazzo is an underutilization of talent.”

The several-thousand-dollar camera was the paparazzi’s entire savings, and every time Yan Qiu touched it, their hearts palpitated.

They were terrified she would smash the camera.

Yan Qiu flipped through the photos, transferred them to her computer, and then tossed the camera back to the two men.

“Go. Don’t secretly photograph me again. Next time, it won’t be so easy.”

The paparazzi hugged their camera like a treasure, relieved to see the black Bentley speed away without pursuing the matter further.

The two exchanged a look and sighed in relief. “Boss Yan truly is a good person.”

After returning to school, Lin Wanqing was distracted, her cheeks burning hot.

Lan Xiaoxiao was so scared she quickly touched Lin Wanqing’s forehead with the back of her hand. “Are you running a fever?”

Lin Wanqing dodged. “Don’t touch me.”

Lan Xiaoxiao’s hand remained in mid-air; Lin Wanqing’s reaction was completely unexpected.

Lin Wanqing touched her own forehead, covering her face with her cold little hands. “I’m a married woman; I can’t be randomly touched.”

Lan Xiaoxiao: Huh?

In the study room, Lan Xiaoxiao had just finished an exam, and her head was buzzing. She didn’t immediately grasp what her friend was saying.

You can’t even touch her forehead after getting married? You rich people are so particular.

Lin Wanqing was sketching a design for a brooch on paper. After a few strokes, she grew increasingly frustrated and finally tossed the pencil aside.

Lan Xiaoxiao, who was reading nearby, kept looking back at her, only noticing that Lin Wanqing’s face was getting redder and redder.

A few minutes later, she saw Lin Wanqing pick up the pencil again and turn to a fresh page.

Her gaze lacked focus, but her subsequent actions were swift and precise. In a few quick strokes, the outline of a figure was sketched out.

In the quiet study room, the only sound was the whooshing of the pencil moving across the paper.

Lan Xiaoxiao had no interest in continuing to study, her eyes constantly glancing towards Lin Wanqing.

On the paper, a beautiful woman in a wheelchair was depicted, her fingers gripping the waist of a girl in a long dress, drawing her close into her embrace.

The girl in the long dress seemed to be trying to push her shoulders away, but her skirt was being lifted.

Her legs were straight and elegant, with delicate knees and ankles, where a tiny chain was tied.

The girl was shy and hesitant, a blush creeping up her face, her delicate fingers resting on the wheelchair woman’s lips.

The girl also had a chain around her neck, the other end of which was held in the hand of the woman in the wheelchair.

Lan Xiaoxiao: “!”

What are you drawing??

Is that an adult-themed drawing?

You won’t let me touch your head, but you’re being lewd here!

No lewdness allowed in the study room!

The more Lin Wanqing drew, the more her fingers shook, her eyes distant, afraid to look directly at the content of her own drawing.

Yan Qiu’s lips were too warm; they could melt her entire body.

The little rabbit didn’t understand what this strange heat inside her was, the one that made her legs weak and her tears stream down.

A girl with no prior relationship experience and who had never read any indecent material didn’t know that this was desire.

She only knew that kissing made her whole body feel comfortable.

A student from the back row walked past her desk. Lin Wanqing immediately closed the notebook and hugged it to her chest guiltily.

Rabbit Vigilance Mode: Activated

Passing Student: ?

Lin Wanqing hugged the notebook even tighter, her earlobes turning even redder.

Lin Wanqing: QAQ

Lan Xiaoxiao nudged her. “Our school started a ‘Love and Relationships’ class. There’s an open lecture this afternoon. Want to go together?”

Lin Wanqing nodded. Her mind was in complete turmoil, and she needed a friend to vent to.

She recounted the entire incident with the paparazzi at the school gate to Lan Xiaoxiao from start to finish.

While talking, Lin Wanqing pulled out a handful of pine nuts from her pocket, peeling them one by one and placing them in a small box.

Yan Qiu liked to eat pine nuts, and Lin Wanqing peeled some for her in her spare time.

Lan Xiaoxiao exclaimed in admiration, “A virtuous wife and loving mother.”

She quietly tried to take two pine nuts, but Lin Wanqing slapped the back of her hand hard. “Don’t eat them.”

Lan Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue. “So, you’re worried that one little kiss won’t be enough to convince the paparazzi that you and Yan Qiu have true love?”

She wasn’t aware of the contract marriage and simply thought Yan Qiu was somewhat frigid and restrained.

Lin Wanqing nodded, carefully discarding the bad pine nuts and wrapping the good ones in a handkerchief before putting them into the box.

The creamy white pine nuts, peeled by fingers as fair and delicate as spring onions, made it hard to tell which was more lustrous and enticing.

Lan Xiaoxiao, who had never been in a relationship either, acted as a terrible relationship coach. “If one kiss isn’t enough to represent true love, then why not get more intimate?”

Lin Wanqing paused in her action. “What?”

Lan Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Wanqing’s chest. “It’s so small.”

Lin Wanqing: “!”

As noon approached, only the two of them were left in the classroom; the other students had gone to the cafeteria.

The terrible relationship coach, who had no experience in love, spoke passionately, lecturing her. “Since Yan Qiu is relatively aloof and restrained, you should be more passionate. Light a big fire to completely burn away her rationality.”

Lin Wanqing pondered this thoughtfully.

Lan Xiaoxiao leaned into her ear and whispered, “Next time you see Yan Qiu, do this…”

Lin Wanqing’s eyes widened. “Is that okay?”

Lan Xiaoxiao patted her chest to reassure her. “I’ve seen it in idol dramas. Trust me.”

In a century-old workshop,

A white-haired artisan presented a red velvet ring box. “The rings are finished.”

Yan Qiu carefully opened the ring box. Inside were matching wedding bands. The design was very simple, featuring two clear and brilliant pink diamonds.

Since both she and Lin Wanqing had fair skin, the pink color looked beautiful on them.

The inside of the ring bands was engraved with the initials of their names.

Artisan: “Your legs…”

Yan Qiu leaned on her left side, standing. Her legs were slightly shaking from the pain. “I’m fine.”
