The Vicious Female Supporting Character Just Wants to Cuddle with the Heroine - Chapter 30

Ning Xin had already arrived in Chuan City and was only three days away from her destination. Because she had been traveling slowly, her complexion looked much better, and Li Niang finally wasn’t so worried.

“Miss, this chicken soup was just made. You should eat more.”

“Mmm, I’m hungry. You should go eat too, or it’ll all be gone.”

“Yes.”

Ning Xin made some rice with chicken soup and ate a big chicken drumstick. She felt warm all over. The journey had been difficult, but she had gotten used to it. After all, she was still young and her body was only in its teens, so her adaptability and recovery were excellent.

Thinking that she would soon see Shen Qingzhi, Ning Xin’s heart was filled with joy. The hardships of the journey were finally not in vain.

After resting well in Chuan City, the group continued on their way.

Three days later, Shen Qingzhi was discussing the next battle plan with Ye Xichang and the others when a soldier came to report that someone had arrived. They were carrying a lot of food and specifically asked to see Shen Qingzhi.

Shen Qingzhi instinctively thought it was Ning Xin, but she didn’t dare to get her hopes up because she didn’t want to be disappointed. So, when she ran out and saw Ning Xin, she was a little stunned by the huge surprise.

The moment Ning Xin saw Shen Qingzhi, she just wanted to rush over and hug her. However, there were people everywhere, and Shen Qingzhi’s status was special, so she could only clench her fists and stand still.

Shen Qingzhi hurried over to Ning Xin. Her expression changed from joy to heartache, and then she turned her head to sniffle before turning back to Ning Xin to speak. “Why did you come here yourself?”

“I promised you, so I had to do it. This is the first batch of grain. There are two more batches coming later. It should be enough.”

“It’s enough. It will definitely be enough.”

Shen Qingzhi raised her hand, signaling the soldiers to move and record the grain. Then she pulled Ning Xin and took her back to her tent.

Ning Xin was being held by Shen Qingzhi’s wrist, and her eyes were fixed on her. The longing she had tried so hard to suppress was about to burst. So, as soon as they were back in the tent, Ning Xin wrapped her arms around Shen Qingzhi’s waist and said, “Sister Shen, I missed you.”

Shen Qingzhi hugged Ning Xin back, wiping her face where Ning Xin couldn’t see, and said, “I missed you too. It must have been very hard on the way here. You’ve gotten so thin.”

“No matter how hard it was for me, it’s not as hard as it is for you, Sister. I’m already happy to be able to do something within my power to help you.”

“Silly girl.”

Shen Qingzhi raised her hand and stroked Ning Xin’s head a couple of times.

Ning Xin held Shen Qingzhi, quietly enjoying the intimacy.

After a while, they let go of each other. Shen Qingzhi looked at Ning Xin, and another wave of heartache washed over her.

“Did you empty out all your savings to bring me these things? And you’ve gotten so thin. Are you doing this on purpose to make my heart ache?”

“How could I? I may be a little thin, but my health is good. I don’t want to be stuck in the manor, being a delicate young lady. Besides, money is just a worldly possession. If it’s gone, I can earn more. At worst, you can support me in the future. As long as I don’t starve, it’s fine.”

After saying this, Ning Xin gave Shen Qingzhi a smile that seemed to be seeking approval.

Shen Qingzhi raised her hand, rubbed Ning Xin’s face twice, and then said, “You always manage to make me see a new side of you, and you always find a way to make me care more about you.”

Ning Xin raised her hand, grabbed Shen Qingzhi’s hand, and said, “So, Sister Shen, do you like me this way?”

Ning Xin’s question made Shen Qingzhi’s eyes widen. She could only be honest. “I do.”

Ning Xin heard the answer she wanted, and she couldn’t help but smile, adding, “I like you very much too, Sister Shen.”

Shen Qingzhi was very moved by Ning Xin’s “confession.” She even wanted to tell Ning Xin that her love was different from Ning Xin’s, but she didn’t dare to say it or risk it at this moment.

Ning Xin, however, understood Shen Qingzhi. Shen Qingzhi looked wistful and sad, which meant she hadn’t understood her meaning. She had to try again. “I really like you, Shen Qingzhi.”

“I know.”

“You know what? My liking for you isn’t the kind between sisters. Do you understand what I mean when I say it like that?”

This was the first time Ning Xin had ever confessed, and she was a little nervous. Even though she knew Shen Qingzhi liked her too, saying it out loud was different. Although she wasn’t thin-skinned, she still felt a little shy.

This time, Shen Qingzhi finally understood Ning Xin’s meaning. Her mind took a while to catch up before she looked at Ning Xin as if waking from a dream. “Are you saying… you like me?”

“Of course, Shen Qingzhi. My liking for you is the same as yours.”

After saying this, Ning Xin plucked up her courage, leaned in, and gently kissed Shen Qingzhi on the cheek, then quickly sat back down.

Shen Qingzhi was completely overwhelmed by the huge surprise. She didn’t even know how to react. Ning Xin liked her, and Ning Xin had just kissed her! Their feelings were the same! Ning Xin was amused by Shen Qingzhi’s expression. “What’s with that look? Did I get the wrong idea? Do you not like me this way?”

Ning Xin’s teasing brought Shen Qingzhi back to her senses. She hugged Ning Xin again and said, “You didn’t get the wrong idea. I like you. I’ve liked you for a long time. Let me hug you. I want to hold you.”

“Okay.”

Ning Xin let Shen Qingzhi hold her until they were both tired. Only then did Shen Qingzhi let go. Ning Xin didn’t say anything, she just looked at Shen Qingzhi and smiled. Having the person she loved right in front of her was the happiest thing in the world.

Ning Xin’s gaze made Shen Qingzhi’s face feel a little warm. They had just confessed their feelings to each other, and she was still a little shy. “Later, I’ll have someone get you some wild game to try.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll have someone bring in a bed.”

“Why? Didn’t we used to sleep in the same bed? I finally came all this way, and now we have to sleep separately?”

“We won’t sleep separately. It’s just for show.”

Shen Qingzhi naturally didn’t want to sleep separately from Ning Xin. The only way to let Ning Xin stay in her tent without arousing suspicion was to bring in another bed. Since they were both women, it was acceptable for them to share a tent, but sharing a bed would be a little scandalous. At night, whether they slept in one bed or two, only they would know.

Ning Xin instantly understood Shen Qingzhi’s meaning. When she realized it, she felt a little shy. Her words just now had been a bit too forward. She had even actively asked to share a bed. They had just confessed to each other. She was being too bold.

Seeing Ning Xin’s shyness, Shen Qingzhi simply reached out and ruffled Ning Xin’s hair. “Alright, let me take you out to walk around.”

“Walk around outside? Will it be inconvenient? I’m fine just staying here with you, no need to go out.”
