Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 59
Early the next morning, after Yun Li and Fu Wanyi woke up, they packed their luggage, had breakfast at the restaurant, and then left Yunxi Farm.
Their second destination was the ancient town of Nancheng.
Fu Wanyi drove for two hours before arriving at Nancheng Ancient Town. They first found an inn in the town, checked in, and left their luggage in the room before starting to explore the ancient town.
Nancheng Ancient Town was filled with classical charm, exuding the ambiance of a Jiangnan water town everywhere.
Yun Li loved this atmosphere. When she noticed a place where they could rent Hanfu for photos, the two of them rented two sets. After changing into the Hanfu, they strolled through the ancient town, occasionally taking photos of each other.
When it was time for a meal, they changed out of their Hanfu and went to a noodle shop in the ancient town for lunch.
Perhaps because it was in a tourist area, the noodles at this shop were a bit pricey. Yun Li wasn’t short on money, but seeing money flow out so quickly still made her a little heartbroken. However, after tasting the noodles, she suddenly felt the money was well spent.
The noodles at this shop were exceptionally delicious, different from what she had imagined. Satisfied with the meal, she no longer minded the money she had just spent.
After finishing their noodles, the two continued exploring the ancient town.
Yun Li’s stamina was average, and within a few hours, she grew tired, her pretty cheeks flushed with a faint pink.
At this moment, Fu Wanyi took out a tissue and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from Yun Li’s forehead.
“Let’s find a place to rest.”
Yun Li nodded eagerly.
After some searching, they found a bench by the roadside.
Sitting down heavily, Yun Li let out a long sigh of relief.
Fu Wanyi found it both amusing and helpless. “Junior, do you usually not exercise?”
Exercise?
Of course not!
Yun Li waved her hand without a second thought.
This made Fu Wanyi even more amused. “No wonder your stamina is so poor.”
Then, she changed the subject. “That won’t do.”
Yun Li blinked slowly. “What won’t do?”
But Fu Wanyi, like a riddle master at that moment, said nothing more.
Yun Li wasn’t particularly curious. As she massaged her slightly sore calves, she watched the tourists passing by.
Suddenly, Yun Li spotted a tourist holding a bright red candied hawthorn skewer, and she immediately craved one.
“Senior~”
Yun Li drew out the last syllable.
“What is it?”
“I want to eat candied hawthorn.”
Candied hawthorn?
Fu Wanyi looked around at the nearby shops but didn’t see any selling candied hawthorn. Instead, she noticed the tourist holding one.
“Wait here.”
Fu Wanyi went up to ask the tourist where they had bought the candied hawthorn. After finding out, she returned to Yun Li.
“The place selling candied hawthorn is a bit far. Wait here, Junior, and I’ll go buy it for you.”
Yun Li nodded obediently. “Okay.”
So well-behaved!
Seeing this, Fu Wanyi felt her heart soften. She reached out and gently pinched Yun Li’s cheek.
Soon after, Fu Wanyi turned and left.
With nothing else to do, Yun Li took out her phone and started editing photos.
About ten minutes had passed. Yun Li had almost finished editing her photos, but Fu Wanyi still hadn’t returned. Just as she was debating whether to go look for her, she saw Fu Wanyi walking back with a bright red candied hawthorn skewer.
“I’m back.”
With that, Fu Wanyi handed the candied hawthorn to Yun Li.
“Did you wait long?”
“A little. I was just about to go find you.”
Fu Wanyi pressed her lips together in a slight smile. “The shop selling these was really busy. I had to wait in line for a while.”
“Wow, that must mean their candied hawthorn is really good!”
Yun Li eagerly unwrapped it, tossed the packaging into a nearby trash can, and took a big bite.
The candied hawthorn was coated in a crisp sugar shell. With a series of crunchy sounds, half of the treat disappeared into Yun Li’s mouth.
The sweet sugar blended perfectly with the tangy hawthorn, creating a refreshingly sour yet sweet flavor.
Unconsciously, Yun Li licked her lips, which were now stained with a bit of sugar. She didn’t notice how Fu Wanyi’s throat moved slightly at the sight.
“Is it good?”
As she spoke, Fu Wanyi realized her voice had dropped to a husky tone.
Yun Li didn’t seem to notice and nodded, her words slightly muffled. “It’s delicious!”
She popped the remaining half into her mouth and noticed Fu Wanyi staring intently. Thinking Fu Wanyi wanted a taste, she held out the skewer toward her.
Fu Wanyi did want a taste, but not in the way Yun Li imagined. However, aware they were in public and not wanting to draw attention, she restrained herself. Instead, she leaned forward and took a bite from the skewer Yun Li was holding.
Crunch, crunch.
The sound of the sugar shell breaking echoed softly.
Fu Wanyi found it oddly soothing.
“How is it? Good?”
“Delicious.”
Yun Li smiled contentedly and continued eating.
The skewer had eight candied hawthorns in total. Unable to finish it alone, Yun Li shared with Fu Wanyi, taking turns until the entire skewer was gone.
Yun Li licked her slightly sweetened lips, tossed the empty stick into the trash, and felt her energy return. “Let’s keep exploring,” she said to Fu Wanyi.
“Alright.”
They continued strolling, sampling various street foods along the way. Before long, Yun Li was full. Watching Fu Wanyi finish off the snacks she couldn’t eat, Yun Li guiltily licked her lips again.
Fu Wanyi didn’t catch her subtle expression. After discarding the empty food container, she turned to Yun Li. “Want to try anything else?”
Yes!
But she couldn’t eat another bite.
Suppressing her cravings, Yun Li shook her head.
Fu Wanyi seemed to understand and chuckled softly, her voice gentle. “Too full?”
Yun Li gave her a pitiful look and nodded honestly.
Unable to resist, Fu Wanyi reached out and patted her stomach.
Hmm, round and firm, she really was full.
“Will you be able to eat dinner later?”
Fu Wanyi checked her phone. It was already 5:30.
“Not sure.”
“Let’s walk around a bit more. No rush.”
“Okay.”
They continued their stroll and eventually made their way back to the inn.
By then, it was past 6 p.m. Considering Yun Li still couldn’t manage dinner, Fu Wanyi led her back to their room.
The moment they returned, Yun Li collapsed onto the double bed.
“Yes, with the double bed Fu Wanyi ordered this time, they wouldn’t waste the other bed.
Seeing Yun Li like this, Fu Wanyi found it amusing. She walked over, sat down, lifted Yun Li’s leg, and placed it on her own thigh, gently massaging the soft calf with a tender touch.
Yun Li felt so comfortable that she let out a couple of soft, contented murmurs.
“Good thing we only planned a four-day trip. If we had scheduled the entire vacation, I think you’d be suffering on school days.”
Yun Li didn’t want to admit it, but she still hummed lightly, “So I should thank you?”
“Wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare.”
Yun Li hummed again.
“After tomorrow’s itinerary ends, are you going back to the dorm?”
Yun Li seemed to catch on to something, raising her eyebrows slightly. “Hmm? Do you have other plans?”
“There are still four days left of the vacation after the trip ends. Are you planning to spend them in the dorm?”
Yun Li blinked. “Haven’t thought about it yet.”
“If you don’t mind, you could come stay at my apartment for a few days. I’ll cook some delicious food for you. How does that sound?”
Yun Li could see it now, this woman was relentless, determined to lure her into her territory.
She didn’t refuse outright. Instead, she thought of that beautifully cooked sunny-side-up egg she’d seen before.
For the sake of good food, she’d take the risk!
What’s a few days of staying over? She could handle it!
Once she made up her mind, Yun Li agreed cheerfully, “Alright then, I’ll stay at your apartment for a few days.”
Fu Wanyi had expected Yun Li to refuse, so she was pleasantly surprised when, after a moment of silence, Yun Li agreed so readily.
Overjoyed, she took Yun Li’s hand and gently kissed the back of it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.”
Yun Li naturally believed that.
…
Yun Li and Fu Wanyi didn’t have dinner that evening. They ordered some barbecue takeout and had it delivered to the inn.
The barbecue place Fu Wanyi ordered from was just average, not as good as the one they’d had before. But since it was late and there weren’t many options nearby, Yun Li forced herself to eat enough to fill her stomach. After resting for a while, she grabbed her pajamas and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
The inn didn’t have a bathtub, so Yun Li finished her shower quickly.
Ten minutes later, Yun Li came out of the bathroom and saw Fu Wanyi curled up in a rattan chair scrolling through her phone. Curious, she walked over and plopped down onto Fu Wanyi’s lap.
In just a few days, Fu Wanyi had already grown accustomed to Yun Li’s closeness. The moment Yun Li sat down, she wrapped an arm around her waist.
“Senior, what are you doing?”
“Looking at bath bombs.”
Yun Li was a little surprised, then quickly realized something and smiled. “Are these for me?”
“Mm, which ones do you like?”
Fu Wanyi opened a shop’s page and showed her the bath bombs inside.
Yun Li glanced at them. The shop had three types: sea salt bath bombs, scented petal bath bombs, and rose petal bath bombs.
Hmm, she wasn’t particularly fond of those.
Yun Li took Fu Wanyi’s phone, exited the shop, and browsed through bath bombs from other stores.
In the end, she picked out a milk rose bath bomb and a milk cherry blossom bath bomb.
“Let’s get these two.”
“Alright.”
Fu Wanyi took the phone back and quickly placed the order, not even bothering to hide the password input from Yun Li.
Yun Li glanced at it but made no effort to memorize the sequence.
“All done.”
Fu Wanyi hugged Yun Li tightly around the waist, tilted her head up, and planted a kiss on Yun Li’s chin.
Just as she was about to move upward, Yun Li covered her mouth.
“Junior?”
Fu Wanyi’s voice was muffled.
“You smell like barbecue. Go take a shower.”
Yun Li had already brushed her teeth while bathing earlier, and there was no way she would let Fu Wanyi kiss her now, otherwise, her brushing would have been in vain.
Fu Wanyi: “…”Whimper, she’s being disliked.”
Fu Wanyi felt down for a moment, but when she saw Yun Li stand up and gracefully settle onto the large bed, she resigned herself to going for a shower.
Watching her drag her feet unhappily toward the bathroom, Yun Li couldn’t help but purse her lips into a smile.
She climbed onto the bed, leaned back against the headboard, and posted all the photos she had edited today to her social media feed.
As usual, she didn’t share any pictures of herself.
Shortly after the post went up, many people liked it, with Yun Yang being the first to do so.
Yun Li was used to this and didn’t pay it much mind. Just as she was about to exit the app, a message popped up from the group chat named “Innocent College Girls.”
[Bei Qingqing: Yun Li, I saw the photos you posted earlier. Does that farm stay you went to really have a horse ranch?]
[Yun Li: Yes, it has a horse ranch. Riding horses there was amazing. You should try it if you get the chance.]
Bei Qingqing took the recommendation.
[Bei Qingqing: What’s the name of that farm stay?]
[Yun Li: Yunxi Farmstead.]
Bei Qingqing immediately looked up the farm online. Seeing that a single entry ticket cost 699, she gasped.
[Bei Qingqing: That’s so expensive [crying][crying][crying]]
[Yun Li: According to my senior, this farm stay is pretty upscale, the accommodations and dining are both great, so the ticket price is a bit steep.]
[Bei Qingqing: I’ll pass.]
[Qiu Jingmei: I’ll save up; I should be able to go.]
[Fang Haiyi: Me too.]
Seeing her two other roommates respond this way, Bei Qingqing didn’t reply further.
Yun Li didn’t mind and continued chatting in the group.
[Yun Li: Sure, if you manage to save enough, we can go together.]
[Qiu Jingmei: OK.]
[Fang Haiyi: Sounds good.]
Yun Li didn’t reply to any more group messages. Seeing that no one else was talking, she exited the chat and decided to play a few rounds of a tile-matching game.
After about three rounds, Fu Wanyi returned from her shower.
She hadn’t washed her hair today but had used a towel to dry the damp roots at the nape of her neck. Satisfied, she put the towel away and quickly climbed onto the bed.
“Junior.”
Yun Li didn’t even glance at her, merely humming in response.
This left Fu Wanyi feeling a bit restless. She leaned over and immediately saw Yun Li playing the tile-matching game.
Slightly exasperated, she wondered if the game was really that fun.
It wasn’t the first time she’d seen Yun Li playing it.
“Is it fun?” she couldn’t help asking.
“Just so-so.”
“Then why do you keep playing?”
“Nothing else to do. Just killing time.”
At this, Yun Li suddenly thought of something but didn’t voice it, deciding to wait until she visited Fu Wanyi’s apartment tomorrow to make plans.
“…Alright.”
Yun Li fell silent, and Fu Wanyi quietly watched her play the game, occasionally chiming in to suggest which tiles to match.
Before they knew it, Yun Li had played several rounds, with Fu Wanyi observing each one.
Seeing her like this, Yun Li handed her the phone. “Do you want to play a few rounds?”
Fu Wanyi shook her head and handed the phone back to Yun Li.
“Don’t you ever get bored doing nothing?”
“I don’t get bored when I’m with you.”
The straightforward remark left Yun Li momentarily stunned. After a long pause, she finally reacted, the tips of her ears slightly warm.
“You’re just talking nonsense,” she muttered under her breath.
To her surprise, Fu Wanyi heard it and responded very seriously, “It’s not nonsense. I mean it.”
Yun Li: “…”
Her ears grew even redder. She reached out and covered Fu Wanyi’s mouth.
“No more talking.”
If she kept going, Yun Li felt she wouldn’t be able to take it.
Fu Wanyi blinked innocently.
“I’ll let go if you stop talking nonsense. Blink once if you understand.”
Fu Wanyi obediently blinked once.
Yun Li breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her hand.
“Xue Mei.”
“Everything I said was sincere.”
Yun Li: “…”
Why was she starting again?
Yun Li nodded, her ears still red.
Her hair was loose, covering both ears, so Fu Wanyi didn’t notice her flustered state. Instead, she found the way Yun Li’s eyes flickered inexplicably captivating. Unable to resist, she leaned in and kissed her cheek.
“Xue Mei…”
“Hmm?”
“I want to kiss you.”
Though Fu Wanyi seemed to be asking for Yun Li’s consent, she had already cupped Yun Li’s face and was slowly leaning in, capturing her soft, crimson lips.
Her kiss was as gentle as she was. Even if a little clumsy, it still made Yun Li lose herself uncontrollably.
Yun Li couldn’t help but grab onto Fu Wanyi’s pajamas, her lips parting slightly to allow Fu Wanyi to deepen the kiss.
The lingering kiss, gentle as a spring drizzle, lasted a long time. Only when Yun Li was nearly breathless did Fu Wanyi pull back slightly, her rosy lips continuing to peck softly at Yun Li’s.
“Xue Mei…”
Fu Wanyi couldn’t help but call out.
Yun Li responded softly, “Hmm?”
“I like it.”
Fu Wanyi rested her forehead against Yun Li’s.
Yun Li gazed at her dazedly.
“I like kissing you.”
Yun Li couldn’t suppress a smile.
“I like it too, but your kissing skills are just average.”
Fu Wanyi: “…”
Once again criticized, Fu Wanyi scrunched up her face, but soon an idea seemed to strike her, her dark eyes lighting up.
“Then let’s kiss more. The more we kiss, the better I’ll get.”
Without another word, Fu Wanyi pressed her lips to Yun Li’s again.
Yun Li: “…”
Oh no, had she brought this upon herself?
Yun Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she soon lost herself in the moment once more.
…
Yun Li slept until 9:30 a.m. When she woke, she was still a little groggy.
In contrast, Fu Wanyi had woken up much earlier. After washing up, she returned to bed and held her sweet, soft girlfriend, resting with her eyes closed.
Noticing Yun Li was awake, she opened her eyes, leaned over, and kissed her cheek.
“Good morning, Xue Mei.”
The tender touch brought Yun Li back to full awareness. She let out a soft murmur and closed her eyes again.
After a moment, she reopened them, her voice low and lazy. “What time is it?”
“It’s 9:30.”
They had until 12:30 p.m. to check out, so waking up at this time was just right.
“Let’s get up then.”
Fu Wanyi released Yun Li and watched her head into the bathroom. Not one to sit idle, she began organizing her suitcase.
Fifteen minutes later, Yun Li emerged wearing a pale yellow dress she had chosen and began organizing her suitcase.
At ten past ten, the two pulled their luggage out of the room. After successfully checking out, they bought a few steamed buns near the inn for breakfast before leaving the ancient town of Nancheng.
“Junior, what would you like for lunch? Should we order takeout or cook ourselves?”
“Let’s order takeout.”
Today, she wouldn’t let Fu Wanyi cook; they could just have takeout.
“Alright.”
Fu Wanyi always deferred to Yun Li.
Two hours later, Fu Wanyi drove them to Bihai Residential Area.
After parking the car, Fu Wanyi brought Yun Li to her apartment.
She lived on the seventh floor, but she also owned the sixth floor. She had connected the two floors: the sixth floor housed a gym, study, art studio, and kitchen, while the seventh floor was where she lived.
Besides the spacious master bedroom, there were two guest rooms on the seventh floor.
It was Yun Li’s first time seeing this kind of layout. With Fu Wanyi’s permission, she wandered around curiously, like a kitten exploring its new home.
“Junior, would it be alright if you slept with me these next few days?”
Although there were guest rooms, Fu Wanyi wasn’t keen on having Yun Li sleep in one. Besides, they had already shared a bed before, wasn’t it perfectly normal to continue doing so?
Yun Li had no objections and had no idea that Fu Wanyi was secretly delighted by her agreement.
After exploring the sixth floor, Yun Li returned to the seventh.
Just then, Fu Wanyi was about to unpack her luggage and pulled Yun Li into the walk-in closet.
“Junior, you can put your clothes here.”
Fu Wanyi’s walk-in closet was spacious, with plenty of room left unfilled.
Yun Li agreed and began organizing her own clothes.
Seeing a row of Yun Li’s clothes now in the closet gave Fu Wanyi a sudden sense of fulfillment, which prompted her to impulsively embrace Yun Li from behind.
The gesture reminded Yun Li of something, and she said, “Don’t kiss me recklessly.”
Last time, Fu Wanyi had left marks all over her neck and shoulders, and Yun Li had to cover them with concealer before daring to go out.
Fu Wanyi remembered this too and pursed her lips guiltily, but soon she realized something and murmured in a slightly husky voice, “We’re not going out these next few days.”
If they weren’t going out, then they could kiss as much as they wanted.
Yun Li was speechless at this logic.
She broke free from Fu Wanyi’s embrace and continued organizing her clothes.
Fu Wanyi awkwardly rubbed her nose.
Once the clothes were sorted, the two left the walk-in closet.
“Junior, what would you like for lunch?”
Without hesitation, Yun Li replied, “Claypot rice, with spare ribs.”
Fu Wanyi understood and searched for claypot rice on a food delivery app. She found one and, following Yun Li’s request, ordered a spare ribs claypot rice for her and a cumin beef claypot rice for herself.
“Delivery will take about an hour. Are you hungry now, Junior?”
Yun Li shook her head.
“Want to look around some more?”
Yun Li was about to shake her head again but then remembered Fu Wanyi’s art studio and said, “I’d like to see your art studio.”
Fu Wanyi was a bit surprised but didn’t say anything, taking Yun Li to the studio.
The studio had excellent natural lighting and was quite spacious. The walls were adorned with numerous paintings in various styles, including ink wash, oil, and sketches.
Yun Li didn’t have much artistic talent, but she thought Fu Wanyi’s painting skills were quite good because every piece she created was beautiful.
Fu Wanyi gazed at Yun Li and suddenly had an idea. “Junior, how about I paint a portrait of you someday?”
Yun Li looked at her in surprise, then suddenly remembered Fu Wanyi’s profile picture. “Is it going to be a chibi style like your avatar?”
“No, it’ll be more like a sketch.”
Yun Li thought it sounded nice and nodded. “Sure.”
She paused for a moment, then added, “Remember to draw me prettily, okay?”
“Of course, don’t worry, I will.”
Hearing this, Yun Li squinted her eyes with a smile, suddenly feeling a surge of anticipation.
