The Romance Extras Turned Out to Be a Yuri Story - Chapter 82
“Luo Luo is in a relationship?”
“Luo Luo is in a relationship!”
A duet of male and female voices.
Lin Xiangdong’s ears were ringing from his parents’ excitement.
He looked blankly at the agitated couple and said, “You guys only just found out?”
“Who is it? This is Luo Luo’s first relationship! I have to vet him properly, what if she gets cheated on and heartbroken?” His mother paced anxiously.
His father also frowned deeply: “Luo Luo is still young, why didn’t you, as her older brother, keep a better eye on her? What is the guy like? Does he treat Luo Luo well? Does Luo Luo really like him?”
“Mom and Dad, I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t panic. Have you forgotten about the engagement Luo Luo has with the Gu family?” Lin Xiangdong wiped his sweat, feeling for the first time that his parents were unreliable. “Do you think the Gu family will cause us trouble if they find out about this?”
“He wouldn’t dare!” His mother said angrily, “Actually, it’s all your dad’s fault.”
“I said the child was still young and we shouldn’t finalize it, but your dad had a little too much to drink at the time and was completely reckless, basically selling your sister off. I never agreed to that.”
“Then why didn’t you object when the Gu family brought it up now?”
His mother looked a little embarrassed: “Well, Gu Beichen has been getting more handsome, and I thought keeping him as a backup for your sister wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
Only then did Lin Xiangdong understand—his parents had been biased from the very beginning.
“You still haven’t told us about Luo Luo’s boyfriend,” his mother pressed.
Lin Xiangdong said, “Ask her yourselves. She’ll tell you eventually.”
“You child!” His mother grew anxious, “What’s the big secret?”
Lin Xiangdong wiped the sweat from his forehead, genuinely not knowing what to say.
Although his parents claimed to be very open-minded, it was hard to tell if they truly were. Lin Xiangdong was also reluctant to get further involved, especially since Lin Luoluo had told him not to worry about it.
When it came to relationships, the more outsiders interfere, the more confusing things get.
Besides, what if Lin Luoluo was just experiencing a momentary novelty? After all, who hasn’t had a few intensely passionate crushes in their youth?
If they don’t get involved, the relationship might eventually end peacefully as time goes on. But if they forcefully break them up, it might only make the couple feel their love is “true and gold,” making it even harder for them to separate.
Lin Xiangdong stated firmly, “I won’t say anything. If Luo Luo wants to, she will definitely tell you.”
【Lin Luoluo, you should thank your Big Bro!】
Lin Luoluo was in class when she suddenly received a message from Lin Xiangdong. After reading the text, she only replied with a question mark.
Lin Xiangdong didn’t reply.
After class, Sang Jing leaned over and asked, “Are you going to find Sister Zhang Qiu?”
Lin Luoluo smiled at her.
Tomorrow was the weekend. Zhang Qiu had recently been recommended by her law firm mentor to participate in a program that would last for ten days. Since Lin Luoluo had the weekend free, she planned to go and visit Zhang Qiu.
Sang Jing said enviously, “I wish I hadn’t joined the club. There’s always an activity on the weekend. I want to go have fun too; I’ve never seen how a show is recorded.”
Lin Luoluo comforted her.
“Recording a show is actually very boring. It’s not as interesting as on TV, and you have to wait a long time.”
Sang Jing sighed, “Well, be careful on the road then. Will Sister Zhang Qiu come pick you up?”
“Yes, I’m taking the bullet train. She’s finishing work early today.”
“Be careful on the way.”
“Mhm.”
Lin Luoluo grabbed her bag and the food she bought for Zhang Qiu, then took the subway to the bullet train station, heading to the city where Zhang Qiu was recording the program.
The city was still bustling when she got off the train. Zhang Qiu, who had finished work early, was already waiting at the high-speed rail station to pick her up.
“Jie!” Lin Luoluo spotted Zhang Qiu before even leaving the station.
Zhang Qiu was also waving at her.
After exiting the gate, the two hugged. Zhang Qiu wrapped her arms around Lin Luoluo’s waist and examined her closely.
“How was the journey? Are you hungry?”
Lin Luoluo shook her head and lifted the shopping bag, saying, “I watched one episode of a TV show and I was here. I bought a lot of snacks but didn’t finish them. What about you, Jie? Have you eaten?”
“The production team gave out boxed meals, but I didn’t eat, thinking I’d eat with you when you arrived.”
“Jie is the best!” Lin Luoluo stood on her tiptoes and rubbed Zhang Qiu’s chin with her own.
Zhang Qiu took the bag of food from her, but when she reached for Lin Luoluo’s handbag, Lin Luoluo refused.
“Jie, just hold the food.”
Zhang Qiu looked at her quizzically. Lin Luoluo then placed her hand into Zhang Qiu’s.
“The other hand is responsible for holding mine, okay?”
Zhang Qiu couldn’t help but laugh, amused by the playful, clever expression on her face. When no one was looking at them, she kissed her cheek and said, “Let’s go, the car is outside.”
Zhang Qiu had booked a car in advance and took Lin Luoluo directly to the hotel.
This was Lin Luoluo’s first time staying in a hotel with her Jie. Looking at the large bed in the room provided by the production team, her face flushed, and she nervously hung up her bag.
Zhang Qiu put her things down and asked, “Have you booked your return ticket for Sunday? I remember you have an 8 a.m. class on Monday.”
Lin Luoluo nodded haphazardly.
Zhang Qiu said, “The hotel has a buffet, but if we go now, there probably won’t be much left. I’ll take you out to eat. There’s a delicious stir-fried chicken restaurant nearby.”
Lin Luoluo nodded again. Zhang Qiu started to move toward her bag, but Lin Luoluo held her back.
“The bag, the bag doesn’t need to come. Just bring a phone.”
Zhang Qiu looked at her in confusion, “Aren’t you going to touch up your makeup or anything?”
Lin Luoluo shook her head, while nervously changing the subject: “Is that stir-fried chicken restaurant really good?”
“It’s very good. The chicken is stir-fried to be particularly tender.” Zhang Qiu recommended.
Lin Luoluo took her hand and said, “Then let’s hurry up and go.”
Zhang Qiu was helplessly pulled out of the room by her. Only after leaving the room did Lin Luoluo breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Qiu had been watching her, feeling that she seemed unusually nervous today, which wasn’t how they usually were together.
She took Lin Luoluo’s hand and asked, “Are you hiding something from me?”
“N-no,” Lin Luoluo’s face flushed. “Maybe I’m just hungry. Yes, I’m just hungry. I’m so hungry, Jie.”
“Hungry? You said you weren’t hungry just now.”
“Just now was just now, and now is now,” Lin Luoluo whined.
Zhang Qiu said helplessly, “Let’s go. There shouldn’t be many people at this time, so we should be able to eat right away.”
The two waited for the elevator. When the elevator door opened, a fellow contestant of Zhang Qiu’s walked out and asked, “Zhang Qiu, are you going out? The director just announced in the group chat that we don’t have to come in for recording tomorrow morning. It seems the equipment has an issue. We can rest for half a day and wait for an update in the afternoon.”
Zhang Qiu nodded and said, “I know.”
“Are you two heading out?” the person asked.
“My girlfriend came to visit me, so I’m taking her out to grab a bite,” Zhang Qiu answered naturally. Lin Luoluo was surprised, but the other person calmly greeted her: “Hello, I’m Hu Tao.”
“Lin Luoluo,” Lin Luoluo quickly replied.
Hu Tao smiled at her. “Have fun.”
They walked past them.
Once the person was gone and they were inside the elevator, Lin Luoluo whispered, “Was it okay for you to introduce me like that? If others find out…”
“It’s fine, they all know.”
Zhang Qiu said, “You are my girlfriend; it’s not something to hide. If they dislike me because of this, then it’s better to realize it sooner. I don’t need friends like that.”
“Besides, my girlfriend is not someone I’d be ashamed to introduce.”
Zhang Qiu lowered her head and rubbed her nose against Lin Luoluo’s. Lin Luoluo grabbed her sleeve, her heart filled with sweetness and a tingling warmth.
At the Fried Chicken Restaurant
The restaurant was small but very popular. Although they were past the peak dining hours, there was no line, but the place was still packed. Just as they arrived, the waiter was clearing a table, and another group of people immediately followed them in.
Lin Luoluo couldn’t eat spicy food, so Zhang Qiu ordered mildly spicy and two drinks, thoughtfully instructing the waiter to bring room-temperature beverages.
Lin Luoluo said, “I want ice-cold ones.”
Zhang Qiu didn’t agree.
“Isn’t your time of the month coming soon? I remember it was around this time last month. Drinking cold drinks will give you a stomachache.”
Lin Luoluo let out an “Ah,” and sheepishly retracted her neck.
How did Zhang Qiu remember the time better than she did?
“Room temperature it is, then.”
After a short wait, the fried chicken arrived, smelling incredibly fragrant.
The chicken was tender and smooth, with a rich savory sauce.
Lin Luoluo ate a lot, and soon after, she hugged her belly and collapsed onto the chair.
Zhang Qiu handed her a napkin and smiled. “It was good, right?”
“Mhm mhm.” Lin Luoluo wiped her mouth, then bit onto the straw and mumbled, “I thought Jie didn’t like to eat much, but all the places you take me to are always so delicious.”
Zhang Qiu said, “I don’t like it, but who told me there was a little greedy cat by my side.”
Lin Luoluo hummed a few times, then softly meowed.
This made Zhang Qiu burst into laughter. She reached out and pinched her soft, delicate cheek.
Lin Luoluo complained that Zhang Qiu had rubbed off her foundation.
Zhang Qiu quickly apologized in a flattering way, which only made Lin Luoluo laugh out loud again.
A Stroll in the Evening
After eating, the two quickly made way for the waiting customers outside. They paid the bill and walked casually along the street.
The night breeze was cool. Summer was setting in, and many small flying insects gathered under the streetlights. Three or two people were strolling along the sidewalk.
Lin Luoluo yawned.
Zhang Qiu asked, “Are you sleepy?”
“A little tired.”
Zhang Qiu stroked her head and gently pressed her head onto her own shoulder. “Take a moment to rest.”
They walked slowly, chatting casually.
“Lately, I’ve been having a recurring dream,” Zhang Qiu said, a hint of laughter in her voice.
“In the dream, you are someone else’s fiancée, and I’m so jealous I could die. I kept waiting for you to confess to me, but you little heartless thing, you only knew how to flirt with me without wanting to take responsibility. You nearly drove me crazy.”
“How did I flirt with you, Jie?” Lin Luoluo asked curiously.
“Like this.”
Walking under the shadow of a tree, Zhang Qiu lifted Lin Luoluo’s chin and kissed the eagerness she saw in those eyes.
“Open up,” she whispered.
Lin Luoluo obediently complied.
“Close your eyes.”
Her sense of touch became sharper.
Her body stirred as Zhang Qiu gently stroked her lower back.
Noses brushed together. Lin Luoluo’s hands rested helplessly on Zhang Qiu’s shoulders.
“I’ll teach you.”
Lips and teeth nestled together. Lin Luoluo held her breath.
A breath was transferred into her.
“Silly girl, breathe.”
Lin Luoluo’s entire face was scarlet.
Zhang Qiu laughed, leaning her head on Lin Luoluo’s shoulder.
Lin Luoluo’s mind was blank, and she gasped for air.
“We’ve kissed so many times, and you still haven’t learned?” Zhang Qiu murmured softly, hugging the little person in her arms and adjusting her collar.
Lin Luoluo’s eyes were so moist they looked like they could drip water, shining brilliantly in the night like the bright spring sunlight. She obediently said, “Jie, whenever you kiss me, I forget everything.”
“Silly.” Zhang Qiu kissed her nose again. Their fingers intertwined, and they slowly walked back to the hotel.
The Long Night
Lin Luoluo went to shower first, then it was Zhang Qiu’s turn.
There was only one bed in the hotel room. Lin Luoluo nervously took something out of her bag and hid it under the pillow.
This was the first time they would share a bed.
Lin Luoluo adjusted her hair, then felt she was sitting too formally. She lay down, tossed and turned, growing more and more anxious.
Zhang Qiu emerged from the bathroom.
Only the small bedside lamp was on.
“Let’s sleep,” she said, getting into bed and lying down properly.
What Lin Luoluo had been expecting didn’t happen, leaving her a little frustrated.
She had prepared herself; wasn’t there a saying that a brief separation is like a new honeymoon? They hadn’t tried it yet.
Lin Luoluo quietly asked, “Jie, are you asleep?”
“Can’t sleep in a different place?” Zhang Qiu opened her clear, bright eyes, which looked like tranquil flowing water in the dark.
Lin Luoluo nodded, cautiously snuggling into Zhang Qiu’s embrace.
Zhang Qiu instinctively wrapped her arms around her.
With her head buried in Zhang Qiu’s chest, Zhang Qiu whispered, “Should I tell you a bedtime story?”
Who wants to listen to a bedtime story!
Lin Luoluo angrily bit Zhang Qiu. Zhang Qiu hissed softly.
Lin Luoluo said with a flushed face, “I studied online.”
“Studied what?” Zhang Qiu continued to ask.
Lin Luoluo bit her again in annoyance, then delicately licked her collarbone, murmuring, “Stop playing dumb.”
She slowly bit down on Zhang Qiu’s Adam’s apple, hearing a low chuckle from Zhang Qiu.
“If you don’t tell me, how will I know?”
Lin Luoluo looked up and simply straddled her waist.
She said emphatically, word by word, “I want to top you.”
Zhang Qiu dangerously narrowed her eyes. “Say that again?”
“I want to top you,” Lin Luoluo repeated.
Suddenly, the world spun. Zhang Qiu pulled out the hidden object from under her pillow.
“A finger cot? I knew you were acting suspicious.”
“Who did you learn from online? Did they teach you to do this?”
“Does it feel good?”
Zhang Qiu whispered, the sound of lapping water faint in the background. Lin Luoluo grasped her head, looking pitiful.
“Jie, stop.”
“Be good, say something sweet, and I’ll let you go.”
“Jie, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Zhang Qiu leaned up and kissed Lin Luoluo deeply on the lips, and the night was still long.
