Qin Wanshu's struggle gradually weakened as Zuo Qinghuan's breath enveloped her with a strong presence. Zuo Qinghuan's aura made Qin Wanshu reluctant to push away, allowing herself to indulge in Zuo Qinghuan's warmth and breath.
Feeling the person in her arms calming down, Zuo Qinghuan felt somewhat relieved. She couldn't help but hold Qin Wanshu even tighter, wishing to merge Qin Wanshu into her very being.
"Qin Wanshu, I miss you so much," Zuo Qinghuan whispered tightly embracing Qin Wanshu, as if her intense longing was to be conveyed to Qin Wanshu.
"Zuo Qinghuan, I hate you, making me wait for three years..." Qin Wanshu was drunk, which led her to reveal her deep-seated grievances. Normally, she would never say such things; she didn't want to become a resentful woman complaining about Zuo Qinghuan.
"It's my fault. Can you stop being angry?" Zuo Qinghuan coaxed. She never intended for Qin Wanshu to wait for three years. These past three years hadn't been easy for her either. She would never separate from Qin Wanshu again in the future.
"No, not only did you make me wait, but you also brought back a sister and lived intimately together, so annoying..." Qin Wanshu became angrier as she spoke, trying to break free from Zuo Qinghuan's embrace.
Zuo Qinghuan refused to let Qin Wanshu go, her heart softening at Qin Wanshu's coquettish complaints. Qin Wanshu only showed this kind of girlish behavior when she was drunk. Normally, the goddess will only show a cold face, never openly sharing her feelings like this, always keeping them bottled up. Seeing Qin Wanshu like this now, Zuo Qinghuan couldn't help but find her adorable. Indeed, alcohol was a magical thing.
"Yes, yes, Zuo Qinghuan is a hateful ghost," Zuo Qinghuan stroked Qin Wanshu's back, soothing her with agreement.
"Zuo Qinghuan is a hateful ghost..." Qin Wanshu's voice grew softer and softer. She felt her eyelids getting heavier, overcome by drowsiness. She was so tired, she didn't want to deal with Zuo Qinghuan anymore.
Zuo Qinghuan sighed softly as she watched Qin Wanshu drift off to sleep. Why did these precious moments with Qin Wanshu have to be so fleeting? She wanted to hear more of Qin Wanshu's heartfelt words!
"Do you love Zuo Qinghuan?" Zuo Qinghuan gently shook Qin Wanshu's body, deciding to save this question for later.
“...,” Qin Wanshu frowned slightly, displeased that Zuo Qinghuan was preventing her from sleeping. In response, she simply snuggled up against Zuo Qinghuan's shoulder and drifted off to sleep.
Zuo Qinghuan saw Qin Wanshu drift off to sleep and gently helped her to bed. Wanting Qin Wanshu to rest comfortably, Zuo Qinghuan took off her high heels, unzipped the back of her dress, and removed her dress and strapless bra. Qin Wanshu's fair and ample chest caught Zuo Qinghuan's gaze, causing her breath to quicken. She suppressed her inner turmoil; it wasn't the right time. If she touched the sleeping Qin Wanshu tonight, Qin Wanshu would probably be even angrier. Sensitivity requires patience. Zuo Qinghuan quickly pulled the covers over Qin Wanshu's beautifully naked body, afraid she might lose control if she looked too long. Zuo Qinghuan also removed Qin Wanshu's light makeup. When everything was tidied up, Zuo Qinghuan quietly lay down beside Qin Wanshu, gazing at her sleeping face. Zuo Qinghuan gently traced her fingertips over Qin Wanshu's eyebrows, then slid down to her delicate nose. It seemed like she couldn't get enough of looking at her. For the past three years, she had felt a kind of hunger in her heart, an emptiness she wanted to fill. She realized it was because she was missing Qin Wanshu.
Lowering her head, Zuo Qinghuan pressed her lips to Qin Wanshu's forehead, planting a gentle kiss. Qin Wanshu, I'm finally back by your side.
....
Qin Wanshu opened her eyes, feeling completely naked except for her underwear, which relieved her slightly.
"Awake?" Zuo Qinghuan beamed a radiant smile at Qin Wanshu as if nothing had happened. Qin Wanshu gave Zuo Qinghuan a cold glance, refusing to acknowledge her. Thinking of the drunken words she uttered last night, Qin Wanshu felt a bit embarrassed. Zuo Qinghuan was utterly despicable; she hadn't even forgiven her yet, and here she was pulling sneaky moves. What an infuriating woman.
"I've been homeless for several days now. I've been staying in hotels alone." Zuo Qinghuan said pitifully.
Zuo Qinghuan's words weren't enough to sway Qin Wanshu. Qin Wanshu didn't want to deal with Zuo Qinghuan at all. She stood up to put her clothes back on and leave. Zuo Qinghuan knew that if she let Qin Wanshu leave now, Qin Wanshu would only get angrier. She couldn't let Qin Wanshu leave. Zuo Qinghuan hugged Qin Wanshu from behind, refusing to let her go.
"Qin Wanshu, there's absolutely nothing between me and Aoba. Even if I'm a bit more affectionate towards her than others, it's because Aoba looks like you. You know I've never had any relatives since I was young. My foster father and Aoba have always treated me like family, and I genuinely see Aoba as a little sister. For the past three years, I've been under a lot of stress. I only sleep three hours a day. I want to grow up quickly, to be with you as soon as possible. Every time I feel like I can't hold on anymore, I talk to Aoba about you. Just mentioning you gives me strength. I just miss you so much that I have to talk about you to Aoba, otherwise, I'd go crazy keeping it all inside. You have no idea how scared I am. I'm not so sure that you'll still love me after three years. I'm afraid all my efforts will be in vain, but I've come this far, I can't turn back now. I can only take a chance..." Zuo Qinghuan hugged Qin Wanshu, her body trembling slightly. For the past three years, she had been in a constant state of panic, afraid of the uncertainties three years later, afraid that she wouldn't meet Qin Wanshu's expectations. She wasn't as strong as she imagined. Qin Wanshu's cold demeanor always made her feel panicked.
Feeling Zuo Qinghuan's trembling body and sensing her panic, Qin Wanshu's heart softened. Over the past three years, although she had waited hard, Zuo Qinghuan might have had an even harder time. Unable to bear to torment this girl any longer, Qin Wanshu softened her heart. After all, she once wanted to cherish her more than anyone else. Qin Wanshu knew that Zuo Qinghuan had always lacked love since she was young. She wouldn't reject the affection Aoba gave her. It was somewhat similar to her own feelings. Zuo Qinghuan's closeness to Aoba was expected, but it still made her uncomfortable. However, if she stubbornly refused to let go, it would be unreasonable. But making up like this, Qin Wanshu still felt somewhat unwilling.

"Three years ago, Shi Yunyang asked me who could privately own Mount Fuji with love. I felt guilty at the time as if I had really taken something that didn't belong to me. That feeling, you wouldn't understand." Zuo Qinghuan felt Qin Wanshu's body relax, knowing that Qin Wanshu had softened a bit. This made Zuo Qinghuan ecstatic. In fact, she had a lot of things she wanted to say to Qin Wanshu, to let her know how she felt at the time.
"Now, do you still feel guilty about owning Mount Fuji?" This was the key point. She wanted to know if someone still felt inferior. If they did, these three years would have been wasted.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qinghuan was so happy she could almost scream.
"Are you Mount Fuji?" Zuo Qinghuan asked back. Over the years, she had come to understand one thing: true distance was not the difference in strength, but the difference in souls. Qin Wanshu didn't need someone exceptionally talented; she needed someone who wasn't afraid of her strength. But becoming outstanding was necessary because her family needed someone outstanding enough to match her. Love would not be complete without the blessings of her family.
"It's amazing how Shi Yunyang could compare me to Mount Fuji." Qin Wanshu could imagine Shi Yunyang's malicious behavior towards Zuo Qinghuan back then. She had always been afraid that the world wasn't chaotic enough. But when she thought about Shi Yunyang becoming an idiot and disappearing for half a year, she felt that she deserved it. Unfortunately, she quickly forgot her lesson, still with that nasty temper. Although she had toned it down a bit, her nature hadn't changed.
"At that time, Mount Fuji was quite stressful for me. That's why I left to improve myself." Zuo Qinghuan tried to make excuses for herself.
Qin Wanshu frowned slightly. Mount Fuji, goddess, and all that stuff, those were their words. She had never even thought about wanting to be one.
Author’s Note:
Qin Wanshu finally relaxed, and Zuo Qinghuan's suffering finally came to an end.
When the water is ready, there will be meat…
