My Idol Turns Out To Be My Ex-Girlfriend - Chapter 3

Beautiful mermaid-curled long hair slid down from the little stray dog’s shoulders, leaving a trace of icy rain that dripped onto Lin Sanyuan’s neck, making her shiver from the cold.

The girl pressed down on top of her, her half-open eyes magnificent yet languid, and her rose-colored lips twitched slightly, still stained with the vivid hue of lipstick.

The posture and atmosphere suddenly became thick with ambiguity.

The female taxi driver, who had looked stiff and indifferent not long ago, now wore an expression that was becoming increasingly nosy.

Lin Sanyuan regretted her life choices. She had picked up such a huge liability.

This hazy, shimmering gaze didn’t feel right at all!

Was this “dog of a thing” actually going to kiss her?

Lin Sanyuan never believed in the idea of “drunken lust,” and besides, the drunk she picked up tonight was a girl. If a man had been lying there drunk, no matter how handsome he was, she would never have meddled in such business. Her sense of self-preservation had been cultivated from a very young age.

But how was she to know that a woman could be this terrifying after drinking?

Lin Sanyuan had no intention of handing over her first kiss here. She bit her lip and turned her head away, attempting a final act of resistance.

At that moment, the pressure on her waist and shoulders loosened as the hands holding her there retracted. But before Lin Sanyuan could catch her breath, there was a soft “clap” sound.

Her cheeks were cupped by someone’s hands and forcibly straightened back to face forward.

Their eyes met.

Lin Sanyuan swallowed hard, her breath trembling. Watching that face getting closer and closer, her tears were almost bursting out from anxiety.

If she were forcibly kissed by a woman, it would probably be hard to even frame it as a crime of indecency even if she called the police, right?

Her brain was exploding like a chaotic firework display.

“Bleah, ugh, urgh, vomit, “

Something even more terrifying than being forcibly kissed happened.

Yes. This woman! Damn it! She vomited!

While cupping Lin Sanyuan’s face.

Lin Sanyuan was thoroughly “irrigated”!

The girl’s cheeks puffed out, and she sprayed and vomited like a goddess scattering flowers!

If Lin Sanyuan hadn’t been resisting with her whole body and keeping her lips sealed with a life-or-death determination, the girl would have likely vomited directly into her mouth!

The female driver rolled down the window and remained silent the entire way.

When getting out of the car, Lin Sanyuan instinctively scanned the WeChat QR code in the vehicle.

Tonight, everyone’s words seemed to carry a prophetic weight. When she first got in, the driver had said it would cost two hundred if someone vomited in the car, and it seemed fate had indeed decreed that she must lose this money.

The driver looked at Lin Sanyuan standing in the rain with a look of pity. Her face was covered in liquid and residue, “pathetic” was no longer enough to describe her state.

The woman hesitated for a long time before she couldn’t help herself, “Little girl, listen to my advice, if things really aren’t working out, just get a new husband, okay?”

Lin Sanyuan knew there was no way to explain away the “husband” misunderstanding. She sniffled, her glasses fogging up.

“Um, I’m sorry for causing trouble for you tonight, Sister. I’m really sorry for making your car dirty.”

The middle-aged driver’s heart softened completely. How could someone be this well-behaved, still remembering to call her “Sister” at such a young age? That little sobbing voice was heartbreaking.

The driver hurried to pull out some tissues and handed them to her, “Oh, oh, oh, don’t cry, don’t cry. What’s there to cry about? It’s not a big deal. The rain is so heavy, hurry home and take a hot bath. This market alley is too narrow for the car to enter, should I help you carry her back?”

“No need, sob, I, I can do it by myself, sob, “

Lin Sanyuan just felt a bit wronged. The moment someone showed her kindness, her tears overflowed. She couldn’t stop sobbing as her small shoulders carried the “stray dog” who was a head taller than her, crying all the way home.

The heavy rain lasted all night. Listening to the autumn rain rattling the windows and seeing the golden osmanthus flowers scattered on the ground, it was a perfect night for a deep sleep that made one want to linger in bed.

The early morning was slightly cool as the sunlight rose, filtering through a corner of the thin window screen into the room. Qiao Lian, wrapped around a soft bolster, rolled over, and the blanket slid halfway off the bed.

Shivering from the cold, she opened her blurry eyes. The soft, full feeling in her arms made her mind pause for two seconds.

A sudden cramp of pain shot through her lower abdomen. She took a few sharp breaths and realized she was holding a fat cat bolster with a cheeky, squinting expression.

What was going on?

Qiao Lian rubbed her messy hair. Her hair had been washed and blown dry.

Not just her hair, but the black spaghetti strap dress she had worn to the club had been replaced by cotton pajamas at some point.

Her mind was a fog as she touched her chest. Not surprisingly, her bra had been removed too.

Qiao Lian’s expression turned a bit strange as she hooked her finger into the elastic waistband of her pajama pants. Her underwear was still there.

But it wasn’t the original pair.

Someone had also very thoughtfully attached a long, overnight sanitary pad.

The warmth flowing below and the discomfort in her abdomen told her clearly that her period had arrived last night!

Qiao Lian buried her face in her hands for a very long time.

After gathering her messy thoughts, she got out of bed, put on the pair of gray chicken cartoon slippers under the bed, and left the unfamiliar small bedroom.

Walking out, the first thing she saw was a simply furnished living room, a burgundy solid wood sofa, an old-fashioned bulky TV, and a clock on the doorframe that had stopped ticking. Next to a dark yellow wardrobe, an old sewing machine was covered with floral cloth. The air was thick with the unique smell of an old wooden house.

The scent of years of dust wasn’t unpleasant, it was the heavy, settled scent of time.

The apartment was deep, and light filtered in from the wooden sliding window in the southeast corner. Under the reflection of the not-so-clear glass, the light and shadows rippled slightly. A soft figure lay on the deep red solid wood sofa, wrapped in a fluffy yellow blanket, looking like she wasn’t sleeping very peacefully.

She knitted her brows while sleeping, her eyelashes were damp, and the rippling spots of light fell on her pale cheeks, giving her an inexplicably sad appearance.

Qiao Lian stood in silence for a long time. The crisp sound of wind chimes tinkled outside, and she turned her gaze to look at the view out the window.

Her black dress, bra, and underwear were hanging on the balcony. They were still dripping, suggesting they hadn’t been put in a washing machine but were washed by hand.

It was a very ordinary scene.

Qiao Lian lightly pressed her tongue against her teeth, preparing to find her phone to check the time.

“Buzz, “

Just then, the phone on the coffee table vibrated.

The long cry of a whale echoed through the room, a sound as ethereal as an echo from the mountains and seas, a distant wail mixed with the sound of ocean waves.

By the time Qiao Lian realized the whale sound was a ringtone, the person on the sofa had already been woken up.

She fumbled to find her phone and let out a dazed, soft hum, “Hello, “

It was a tiny sound, squeezed out hoarsely from her throat, with a blurred and sobbing texture.

She must have accidentally touched the speakerphone, as a man’s voice came through the phone:

“Hey, what time is it? You’re still sleeping?”

Lin Sanyuan frowned, only then appearing to notice Qiao Lian. She propped herself up and swept a quick, casual glance over her before looking away.

“Six minutes past ten,” her voice was hoarse.

The man laughed in frustration, “Am I actually asking you for the time? Did you call me yesterday? How rare.”

Lin Sanyuan fell into a subtle silence for a long while.

The man’s tone became uneasy, letting out a dry laugh, “Sanyuan, why aren’t you talking?”

Lin Sanyuan said weakly, “When did you go straight? Does Jiang Chuanwu know about this?”

The man on the phone instantly acted like a cat that had its tail stepped on, barking out, “What the hell! Don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing between me and that woman! I was drunk, and she was the one who dragged me to the hotel! This time I really tripped up in a ditch, you know!”

Qiao Lian raised an eyebrow.

Lin Sanyuan saw her expression and frowned at the phone, “You should explain those words to your boyfriend.”

The man started wailing, “If he found out, it would be over! Him! Jiang Chuanwu! You know his sour temper, he would kill me, help!”

Lin Sanyuan held the folded small blanket, “I don’t know, I’m not close with him.”

The man was speechless and could only plead bitterly, “Just tell the truth, what kind of benefit do you want?”

“How about some hush money?”

The man asked blankly, “How much do you want?”

“Two hundred and forty-five yuan,” Lin Sanyuan said this with a heavy sense of resentment.

He clicked his tongue, “Why such a specific number? Did you pay for a meal on your blind date last night? Fine, fine, I’ll reimburse you.”

He simply rounded it up and transferred two thousand yuan via WeChat.

“Take it and go eat something good, stop catching those greasy, stingy middle-aged uncles all day.”

Lin Sanyuan said, “Stop acting up, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

She still had a guest here.

Lin Sanyuan didn’t tap the bright red transfer record. Young Master He was wealthy and a bit foolish, with more money than sense, and he wasn’t bad-looking. Women in the nightlife scene both craved his body and coveted his wallet. If he tripped up in a ditch, he brought it on himself.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Sanyuan’s head began to throb. Her brain felt heavy, her body was weak, and a chill was seeping out from her bones. This familiar feeling told her she was likely going to have a fever.

Qiao Lian, standing by the sofa like a great deity, suddenly spoke, “Why were you crying?”

Lin Sanyuan let out a confused, “Huh?”

“I, why was I crying?”

Qiao Lian crouched down, her finger tracing the reddened corner of Lin Sanyuan’s eye. Her fingertip intentionally or unintentionally brushed the tear mole at the end of the eye, a touch that left as soon as it landed.

The cold, smooth sensation of the finger skin made Lin Sanyuan shiver.

Qiao Lian held her finger in front of her, the fingertip was wet with tears. She had studied medicine and could be certain this wasn’t physiological, but psychological.

What a strange person. She didn’t even realize she would cry while sleeping.

Lin Sanyuan wasn’t comfortable being this close to a stranger in her own home. She pulled her body back.

“It’s nothing really, just a sequela of encephalitis.”

Qiao Lian froze, her fingers rubbing together unconsciously, her expression carrying a hint of inquiry, “Encephalitis?”

“Yeah, I was sick before, had a fever and was hospitalized.”

Qiao Lian’s gaze was fixed on her face, her pupils deep. Words reached her lips but she swallowed them back. She let out a sigh, “I troubled you last night.”

Lin Sanyuan looked at her with a strange expression.

Honestly, it was quite hard to associate the person before her with the girl from last night. Last night, the girl had worn very heavy makeup, making it hard to discern her features.

While removing the makeup for her, Lin Sanyuan had discovered that her appearance was actually very clear and elegant. Her delicate features had a cold temperament, her pupils were as moist as thin ink, and her eyebrows were defined with a misty feel. A small mole hung at her lower eyelid. Her overly exquisite features made it difficult to tell her true age.

If Lin Sanyuan hadn’t seen the student ID in her pocket, she could never have imagined that this girl was only in her third year of high school.

Lin Sanyuan felt a bit stifled. What were kids being fed these days to grow up like this? At such a young age, before even leaving the school gates, her legs were long and her waist was thin, similar to a model’s physique.

Unlike her, back when she went to her younger brother’s high school to deliver food, she couldn’t even get back out after entering the gates. The security guard insisted she was skipping class and detained her.
