Qin Shiyue had no work today, and she couldn’t help but start watching Lin Qingyi’s movie. Her hand, without thinking, chose the one with bold bed scenes. It was the first movie she and Lin Qingyi watched together. Now, she was even more sure that Lin Qingyi picked that movie on purpose. She must have done it to seduce her.
Just when the bed scene Qin Shiyue was waiting for was about to come, she got a WeChat message from Bai Wenxi.
[Little Boss Qin, remember to check the latest hot search~] Bai Wenxi’s message came with a cute emoji.
Qin Shiyue thought, isn’t the hot search still about her and Lin Qingyi? She had already checked it several times this morning. Or was there a new one?
She opened Weibo’s hot search. The top one was no longer the post about Lin Qingyi kissing her. It had been replaced with a new headline: Movie Queen Lin and Qin Shiyue are real! Real! Real! Movie Queen Lin personally admitted it.
The three “real”s, and the words “personally admitted,” stirred something again in Qin Shiyue’s heart. Her fingers couldn’t wait to tap the related link.
Huh? Wasn’t Lin Qingyi in the hospital? How did she have time for an interview? Qin Shiyue curiously clicked on the video.
"Teacher Lin, when you kissed Qin Shiyue last night, was it for the stage effect?" a female entertainment reporter asked Lin Qingyi.
That was exactly the question Qin Shiyue wanted to ask the most. She felt even more nervous now than she did last night.
"No, I just wanted to kiss her," Lin Qingyi said, her tone sounding so natural.
Did she hear that right? Lin Qingyi kissed her not for stage effect, but because she wanted to. Qin Shiyue felt her heart bursting with joy, almost impossible to hide. Did that mean Lin Qingyi kissed her because she liked her?
"Then can we understand it as, you like her, so you kissed her?" The reporter asked again, voicing Qin Shiyue’s deepest thought. Qin Shiyue even wanted to send this reporter a big red envelope, she asked so well.
"I like her," Lin Qingyi admitted directly.
"Is it the kind of ‘like’ we’re thinking of?" The female reporter probably didn’t expect Lin Qingyi to admit it that easily, too easily. She seemed worried she might have misunderstood and asked again.
"Whatever kind of ‘like’ you think it is, that’s what kind of ‘like’ it is." Lin Qingyi felt she had made it clear enough. Saying more would be pointless.
The video ended there.
Damn Lin Qingyi. What does she mean, "whatever kind of like you think it is, that's what it is"? Then she plays an ambiguous trick again. Qin Shiyue felt her heart pull up high, then drop fast.
She was going to send the reporter a big red envelope, but now she decided to take the red envelope back. Why did the reporter add the extra question, "Is it the kind of like we’re thinking of?" If you add extra, why not make the like clear, and just ask, "Is it the kind of like that wants to sleep together?"
While she was stuck on Lin Qingyi's vague answer, Qin Shiyue suddenly remembered the message Lin Qingyi sent this morning. Could that be Lin Qingyi's small compensation gift to her, and she knew Qin Shiyue would like it? If so, then Lin Qingyi's like for her must be the kind Qin Shiyue wants.
Thinking Lin Qingyi liked her, Qin Shiyue rolled on the bed, happy and excited. If Lin Qingyi liked her too, then yesterday's kiss meant Lin Qingyi was telling the whole world she liked her.
Aaaaaah!
Qin Shiyue felt like she might go crazy with joy. There is probably nothing in the world more joyful than the person you like liking you back. Covered by so much joy, it felt unreal. She kept pinching herself and watched the short video again and again, dozens of times.
Damn, she really liked this compensation from Lin Qingyi.
Thinking Lin Qingyi liked her but still teased her, hot then cold, made her feel this woman was really bad. The more Qin Shiyue thought about her long inner pain, the more she wanted to kill someone badly. Once she thought she really had a chance to kill someone, she couldn't help but grin foolishly. She started daydreaming about enjoying that bad woman.
No matter how nice the thoughts were, Qin Shiyue realized Lin Qingyi was not by her side. Suddenly the hot feeling dropped fast, and the feeling of missing her flooded in.
She missed her so much, wanted to see her so badly. It was even crazier than when she liked her one-sidedly before.
Qin Shiyue hugged her pillow tightly. She knew that the coming days without seeing Lin Qingyi would be even harder to endure than before.
She picked up her phone again, looking at her chat with Lin Qingyi, hesitating whether to send a message. Lin Qingyi should be at the hospital taking care of her grandmother now. Since she liked her, she would message her when she had time, right?
But Qin Shiyue waited until three or four in the afternoon and still didn’t get a single message from Lin Qingyi. She thought again that before, if she didn’t reach out first, Lin Qingyi never did either. Maybe everyone has a different way of liking and loving. When Lin Qingyi was in a relationship, she probably wasn’t as clingy as herself.
After making up all kinds of excuses for Lin Qingyi not messaging her, Qin Shiyue finally couldn’t hold back and sent her a message.
[Are you with your grandmother?] Qin Shiyue asked.
[Mm. Let me see, the small compensation gift I sent should be almost there.] Lin Qingyi didn’t expect Qin Shiyue to be in this neighborhood. It was the same place where she once saw Qin Shiyue begging Kong Huizhi not to leave. Thinking of that scene, Lin Qingyi felt a bit jealous. Why did this woman come back here again?
Back then, Lin Qingyi thought Qin Shiyue was so stupid for doing that for a woman. But the next second, a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed in her mind: if only she could be liked by her that much.
From that time on, she seemed to start paying attention to this Vase, whether on purpose or not. Showing too much interest in a married woman wasn’t something Lin Qingyi felt proud of. Qin Shiyue’s indifference and hostility toward her only made her more annoyed. Until Qin Shiyue got divorced, Lin Qingyi realized she was secretly happy about it. That made her aware something was wrong. At that time, she was too proud to admit it and didn’t take the initiative, until Qin Shiyue came to visit her on set and asked for her help. Then she couldn’t stop herself from teasing her both in and out of character.
Huh? Wasn’t that interview where she said she liked her already the compensation gift? There was another one?
[What compensation gift?] Qin Shiyue was very curious about this so-called small compensation gift Lin Qingyi mentioned.
[It will arrive in five minutes.] Lin Qingyi also owned an apartment in this neighborhood, so she entered easily.
Five minutes, that was fast. Qin Shiyue started to look forward to it.
Both of them lived on the top floor, just in different buildings. Qin Shiyue was in Building 7, and Lin Qingyi’s apartment was in Building 10. Lin Qingyi found it easily.
[It's there, open the door downstairs.] There was an entrance gate, and Lin Qingyi pressed Qin Shiyue’s doorbell.
Hearing the doorbell, Qin Shiyue rushed to open the door. She was too curious about what kind of compensation gift Lin Qingyi had sent.
She simply opened her own door so that when the elevator opened, she could receive it right away.
When the elevator arrived, it stopped as expected.
As the elevator doors slowly opened, Qin Shiyue saw Lin Qingyi step out. She covered her mouth in surprise and disbelief.
Right now, Qin Shiyue just wanted to scream. So this was the small compensation gift? No, it was a big compensation gift! It was too much, so much that her heart could hardly take it, she was about to explode with joy.
What Lin Qingyi expected was that she would ring the doorbell, and Qin Shiyue would open the door and be surprised to see her at the door. She didn’t expect this woman to be so impatient, waiting at the entrance like a rabbit guarding its burrow. Thinking that someone was this eager to see her “gift,” Lin Qingyi couldn’t help but feel amused.
“Do you like this little gift?” Lin Qingyi asked with a smile.
Without even thinking, Qin Shiyue reached out and hugged Lin Qingyi, who was right in front of her. She felt she was completely done for; in this lifetime, it was impossible not to like Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi thought this person was really passionate, but she also seemed to enjoy Qin Shiyue’s passion.
After hugging Lin Qingyi for a long time, once her excitement calmed down a little, Qin Shiyue realized she had been way too unreserved, throwing herself into Lin Qingyi’s arms like that. She still had a bunch of questions she wanted to ask her.
“What kind of like do you have for me exactly?” Qin Shiyue asked, wanting a clear answer.
“What do you think?” Lin Qingyi thought, the whole world already knew, was there even a need to ask?
Damn it, even at this point, this woman still wouldn’t be honest.
“If you don’t say it, how would I know?” Qin Shiyue snorted.
“If you didn’t know, then why did you throw yourself into my arms? You’re still holding me now, not willing to let go!” Lin Qingyi teased back. She clearly knew the answer, but pretended not to. Those words were too mushy anyway, better to just understand without saying them.
Qin Shiyue suddenly realized she was still holding onto her, unwilling to let go. She quickly released and pushed Lin Qingyi away.
But Lin Qingyi caught her, not letting her leave. This time, she took the initiative to pull Qin Shiyue into her own arms.
“Now, do you know?” Lin Qingyi asked softly, pressing Qin Shiyue’s body close against hers. Her lips brushed Qin Shiyue’s ear as she spoke.
Qin Shiyue felt Lin Qingyi’s lips gently rub against her sensitive ear. Her ears tingled, and her body went weak.
“I don’t know!” Qin Shiyue insisted, wanting Lin Qingyi to say it clearly. That woman kept teasing her again and again without taking responsibility, always making her think she was the one overthinking. Now she just wanted a direct confession, was that too much to ask?

“The kind of like where the flower goes into the vase.” Lin Qingyi said, knowing if she didn’t answer, baby Qin’er would throw a little tantrum.
Qin Shiyue of course knew the joke that was popular among their Qin Lin Qing Shi CP fans, and she also understood the meaning behind it. Her face instantly turned red.
Okay, she barely accepted that answer. But Qin Shiyue still had other questions.
"That night after the celebration party when I got drunk, did we kiss or not?"
Qin Shiyue used to feel too embarrassed to ask, but now she could finally say the question that had been stuck in her heart for so long. Damn it, she almost suffocated herself from holding it in.
"You guess?" Lin Qingyi’s smile deepened. She didn’t expect the vase to remember that night. It seemed this question had been in her heart for quite a while. But Lin Qingyi just wouldn’t give her a straight answer on purpose.
There she goes again, the same trick Lin Qingyi never got tired of playing! But this time, Qin Shiyue didn’t need Lin Qingyi to answer. She had a better way to confirm it.
Qin Shiyue’s hand slid to Lin Qingyi’s waist and kissed her straight on the lips. She still remembered the feeling from that night. If she kissed her again, she would know if that kiss was real.
Lin Qingyi was surprised at the sudden kiss but didn’t freeze for long. Soon, she began to respond to Qin Shiyue’s kiss. The vase still kissed as clumsy as before, shoving her tongue straight in, wild and reckless.
But after last time, Lin Qingyi knew how to guide her, and they started a deeper and more tender kiss.
It was the same familiar, pleasant feeling from that night.
After a long, lingering kiss, their lips finally parted reluctantly.
"I got my answer," Qin Shiyue said proudly.
Hearing that, Lin Qingyi chuckled softly. Her baby had gotten smarter.
Author's Note:
Is this the sweetest CP I've written?
Qin Shiyue: Damn, this compensation gift is too generous. I might get a nosebleed.
Lin Qingyi: Baby, take it easy. If you lose too much fluid, your body will become weak.
Randomly dropping small red envelopes.
