"Ranran?"

Jiang Yu looked at Cheng Suran with uncertainty.

"Mm? Cheng Suran raised her head and smiled nonchalantly, "What's the matter?

Jiang Yu hesitated, seeming to have something to say but holding back. "It's nothing."

She carried the shoebox to the door and threw it into the pile of discarded items. When she turned around, she saw Cheng Suran carefully wiping the dust with a wrung out rag. She felt relieved and continued working.

Cheng Suran didn't speak again the whole morning.

The word "baby" lingers in her heart, not stinging, but sour and swollen, like a heavy stone weighing on her.

Over the years, she completely disappeared from Jiang Yu's world and lost contact with Qi Yan and Lu Zhiqiao. Occasionally, when she thought of Jiang Yu, she would also think of Qi Yan, her one and only ex-girlfriend.

Once she was jealous, now she is curious.

She wonders what Jiang Coco's past love life is like.

She had never even called her "baby", Cheng Suran thought gloomily.

After cleaning the storage room, it was already noon.

There was a mountain of things to be thrown away at the door of the storage room. Some of them have not even been unpacked and are brand new. The pair of black patent leather high heels with red soles are extremely eye-catching among them. Jiang Yu contacted someone to come to collect the garbage. The first thing they picked up was the pair of shoes, ready to toss them into the cardboard box.

"Don't throw them away." Cheng Suran said, looking at the shoes.

Jiang Yu: "?"

The next second, Cheng Suran turned away her face and said lightly: "Maybe it can be kept for many years."

The air was filled with a strong smell of vinegar.

Jiang Yu was taken aback, realizing that she was still bothered by it after all. She couldn't help but feel regretful. She picked up the card and tore it to shreds without hesitation, then tossed the shoes into the discarded cardboard box. "Expired things are of no use left lying around."

Expired things, expired feelings.

How could Cheng Suran not know what she meant? Although she didn't want to admit that she was a bit petty, she still felt happy and slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "Throwing it away is a waste, it's better to donate it."

Jiang Yu insisted: "Other things can be donated."

"Ah, I'm hungry," Cheng Suran changed the topic and strode out of the room, "Auntie should have prepared the meal, let's go eat."

This girl.

Her little temper comes and goes quickly, she just has to put in the effort to coax her.

Jiang Yu looked at her back and smiled.

In the afternoon, Cheng Suran had to go to the company because of something unexpected. Jiang Yu was sitting at home alone watching "Cardcaptor Sakura".

The environment was harsh when she was a child. She had no toys, no animations, and no fun that most people have. When she grew up, she tried to make up for it, but she always felt that something was missing.

She has rewatched this anime twice, and she does not feel childish after watching it. On the contrary, she looks at it with an adult's eyes and can find some details that are difficult for children to detect.

For example...

The subtle "ambiguity" between the female protagonist and her best friend.

It really reminded her of Ranran and Wen Ruoxian.

One was always by the side in the name of a best friend, never leaving, being meticulous in taking care, bringing convenience but also constraints.

In the end, the heroine ran towards the one she loved.

Ranran still loved her.

Jiang Yu looked distracted, and a warm current flowed through her heart...

The phone suddenly vibrated.

A WeChat message from Cheng Suran popped up: [I'll be home late, no need to wait for me for dinner.]

Jiang Yu: [Okay.]

Disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Somehow, she always felt that Ranran was still concerned about what happened in the morning. She wondered if she was being too sensitive, overthinking things, and gradually, she felt remorseful.

The anime was still playing, but Jiang Yu lost interest and turned off the projection.

....

Since living together with Cheng Suran, Jiang Yu has almost forgotten what it feels like to eat alone. During these days of recuperation, she was taken care of so well by Ranran that she became "coquettish". However, now that Ranran was not around, she had no appetite for food.

This state made her a little uneasy.

The same was true for her last relationship. When they were in love, the two of them were like glue, and they wanted to stick to each other every moment, not wanting to be separated for even a second. But passion comes and goes quickly. When the passion subsides and the love period passes, life gradually becomes dull. They start to get used to each other, get tired of each other, and even feel bored. Eventually, they can't even have a proper conversation without arguing within five sentences.

She and Ranran seem to be in a honeymoon phase and cannot leave each other for a moment.

But what about the future?

Life will eventually become dull. Will they get tired of each other? Will they grow to dislike each other, unable to find any words to say, only left with arguments...

Jiang Yu didn't know when she had become so sentimental.

Just after nine o'clock in the evening, Cheng Suran came back.

She was a little tired, fatigue was obvious on her face. Jiang Yu was sitting on the sofa with a book in her hands, waiting for her. When she heard the movement, she raised her head: "Ranran, have you eaten?"

"Mm," Cheng Suran responded calmly. She only glanced at her and then looked away, "I'm going to take a shower."

"..."

Jiang Yu's heart sank.

After sitting quietly for a moment, she was thinking about how to explain what happened during the day. Then she closed the book, got up, went back to the bedroom, lifted the quilt, and climbed into bed.

Twenty minutes later, Cheng Suran emerged. She was wearing a sexy halter nightgown, her cheeks slightly flushed from the steam, and her two little dimples were faintly visible. Standing in the soft, warm light, she looked like someone who had just stepped out of a dream.

Jiang Yu looked up at her and felt her throat drying up.

"Let's go to sleep," Cheng Suran yawned, sitting at the edge of the bed. Before she could lift the covers, a pair of slender and strong arms wrapped around her waist. She fell into the embrace without warning.

Jiang Yu kissed her ear: "Are you still angry with me?"

"What?"

"Those shoes."

"No." Cheng Suran immediately denied it.

She is.

Two-faced.

Jiang Yu chuckled, bit her earlobe with her warm lips, nibbled, then slowly tracing up to her ear, she uttered a few words, "Really, not at all?"

Her ears were the most sensitive.

Cheng Suran was teased by Jiang Yu, making her heart race and her limbs go weak. She huddled in Jiang Yu's embrace, saying, "You…stop making trouble."

"Then you have to tell the truth."

"..."

"Huh?" Jiang Yu made trouble again.

Cheng Suran couldn't resist and completely surrendered. She took the initiative to hook Jiang Yu's shoulders, raised her chin slightly, and said in a low voice: "She called you baby...I never called you that. Someone loved you before me..."

Her voice gets quieter and quieter.

"You can also call me that. I want to hear it too. How about you give it a try?" Jiang Yu felt a slight pang in her heart but continued to tease her, fearing any potential discord over this trivial issue.

Cheng Suran lowered her head and said nothing.

"Ranran?"

Jiang Yu hugged her tightly, kissed her closely along her forehead, eyes, and nose, and finally stopped at her lips, "No matter what happened in the past, from now on, you are the person I want to spend my life with.'

At this moment, she suddenly felt regretful. She had been casual and wanton and spent a lot of money to buy obedience and companionship. Perhaps it had made it difficult to provide a sense of security to someone.

"Oh."

"Then, would you like to say it once for me to hear?"

"No, it's tacky." Cheng Suran snorted, pursed her lips, and smiled secretly.

Jiang Coco is going to be tricked.

"How about I call you?"

"No, it's mushy."

"..."

Jiang Yu was completely at her wit's end, thinking hard about how to make her little girlfriend happy.

The person in her arms gently tucked away a strand of hair discreetly and quietly observed her expression.

Why is Jiang Coco so cute?

The more she looked, the more she wanted to bully her!

"Sister" Cheng Suran raised her head and pursed her lips slightly.

She was asking for a kiss.

Jiang Yu was still immersed in self-blame and didn't realize it. Cheng Suran waited for a long time but didn't get a kiss from her. She suddenly became unhappy and clasped the back of her head with one hand and kissed her forcefully.

Jiang Yu snapped out of it, her limbs stiff.

The breath on her lips was as passionate as fire as if it was going to devour her. She was unprepared and gradually relaxed against the pillow. Cheng Suran sat up, straddling Jiang Yu's lap.

The silence was filled with the sounds of each other's chaotic breathing.

"Sister..." Finally, Cheng Suran let go of her with satisfaction and placed her hands on the wall, shrouding her in shadow. "You are so stupid. I was just teasing you. How could I be angry about such a thing?"

"Have you been fooled again? Jiang Coco, hahahaha!"

She laughed so hard that her body quivered.

Jiang Yu was not annoyed at all, she just looked at her with a smile, and her eyes were particularly gentle.

She wanted to preserve that smile forever in a special place.

"But—" Cheng Suran's laughter subsided, and she continued, "I'm still a bit curious."

"Huh?"

"Have you...been like this before when you were in love?"

"Like what?"

"Looking stupid."

Jiang Yu's expression froze: "You want to know?"

"Mm."

"Aren't you afraid you'll get jealous?"

"..."

Cheng Suran lowered her gaze and hesitated, but in the end, her curiosity defeated her jealousy. She waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "I want to know about you, not 'you two'."

"Actually, before..."

Jiang Yu doesn't like to mention the past.

But she wanted to give Ranran a sense of security.

That love affair started with intense sparks and finally burst into hatred, like a shower, coming and going very quickly. At first, it relied on novelty, and maintained it for two years, then slowly transitioned to dullness, and finally, they fell apart in the quarrel. She had no experience, and neither did her ex-girlfriend. The two of them just relied on their most primitive instincts and hormonal attraction, and they had been clashing with each other for four years.

Their personalities and outlook are not suitable.

In front of Qi Yan, no matter how glamorous she looks on the outside, she will always have low self-esteem on the inside. She couldn't bear that love and it made her life very tiring every day.

"I had a bad temper. At that time, I thought work was more important than my lover. She hindered me, so I wanted to get rid of her. Then we fought every day and I occasionally threw things," Jiang Yu said and laughed.

"Ranran, are you afraid of me like that?"

"I'm not afraid," Cheng Suran gently shook her head, burying her face against Jiang Yu's neck and nuzzling it.

"I won't argue with you."

Never.

Jiang Yu instantly understood what she meant, and her tense heart relaxed. She tilted his head and kissed her nose: "Thank you, baby..."

"Why are you thanking me?"

"Thank you for putting up with me."

Cheng Suran's eyes suddenly turned red. She held Jiang Yu's face with both hands. "Don't say that. Don't say... Who told you to thank me? Jiang Coco, you're my girlfriend, I love you, and there's no need to thank me. Of course, I won't argue with you. You're being stupid." 

She planted soft kisses all over Jiang Yu's face.

Even in the past, when they were still benefactor and lover, Jiang Yu lost her temper with her a few times, but she never thought she was a bad person. There is no standard for what is good or bad. People are more complex. She has always understood that.

She didn't want to view Jiang Yu in black and white.

The warm yellow light and shadow brightened the water in her eyes, which were misty and full of tenderness and affection. They looked at each other as if their souls were about to be snatched away in the next second.

"Yeah."

She's really stupid.

So stupid that she mistook love at first sight as the beginning of a money transaction. She was so stupid that she mistook the girl's innocence and sincerity as a compromise to please her.

She was obviously tempted at that time.

"I'm not angry about what happened today. I know that Sister Yanyan is your youth. I just want to... cough." Cheng Suran coughed twice, bit her lower lip, and showed a sly smile.

Just trying to get some benefits.

But she dare not say it.

"She is my youth," Jiang Yu smiled, gently stroking her face with her fingertips, "But you are the rest of my life."

The passionate kiss slowly covered her, and she turned over with Cheng Suran in her arms.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Suran hugged her and turned back. 

Caught off guard.

"Ranran?"

"As promised, let me."

"..."

Jiang Yu reluctantly surrendered.
