“It’s better to have none than to take the wrong one. Baby is the first one I like this much, do you feel very honored?” Lin Qingyi reached out and lightly hooked Qin Shiyue’s fine chin, and she had the teasing look like saying: this lord took a fancy to you, why don't you kneel and say thanks?
Before Qin Shiyue, Lin Qingyi didn’t care about anyone. She thought no one was worth dirtying her clean and pretty feathers for. But after meeting Qin Shiyue, all those things she used to refuse just started feeling okay. She didn’t even feel weird about it. Like being okay with hyping things up together, or wanting to explore the body stuff with her.
But Lin Qingyi wasn’t as impatient as Qin Shiyue. She thought there’s still time. Their relationship just started. She hadn’t even tasted it properly yet. No need to rush to the next dish. Not unlike some pretty and shallow vase, chewing fast and swallowing in a hurry. She wanted to savor the flavor.
Lin Qingyi also liked to delay this kind of liking and wanting. She grew up smooth and easy. Not many people or things got her to like this much. From her past, she knew once she got something she liked, the liking would drop. Whether it’s her liking Qin Shiyue, or Qin Shiyue liking her, she didn’t want it to fade. Knowing she could get it, and waiting to get it, that’s the happiest time. She wanted to prolong that feeling.
Also, Lin Qingyi had a bit of a mischievous streak. The more Qin Shiyue rushed, the more she didn’t let her get her way. She thought this baby is a lecherous one, acting all cute and flirty, was so cute it made her want to tease her.
Qin Shiyue thought Lin Qingyi really hadn’t done it with anyone, hadn’t liked anyone, hadn’t dated anyone. She felt happy inside. She was the first one Lin Qingyi liked. She felt she could brag about it for life. Today was so happy it felt unreal. How could so many sweet things happen in one day?
“You’re clearly narcissistic. Always admiring your own flower. Then one day, you got knocked out by my beauty that shakes heaven and makes ghosts cry…” Maybe it was knowing she was the first one this good Lin Qingyi liked, Qin Shiyue suddenly felt bold. When people get bold, they float. Look at her now, saying shameless stuff she couldn’t say before. Now it came out easy.
“Beauty that shakes heaven and makes ghosts cry?” Lin Qingyi smiled and repeated it with teasing. Her little flirt’s face got thick lately. Putting gold on her own face. The gold layer was a few centimeters thick. Lin Qingyi felt liking someone was really personal. No matter what Qin Shiyue did or said, she just wanted to laugh.
“Am I not beautiful?” Qin Shiyue admitted her words were a bit much, but her beauty was known all over the internet. She didn’t believe Lin Qingyi liking her had nothing to do with her looks. Because Qin Shiyue felt besides being pretty, she didn’t have much else. Yeah, she thought Lin Qingyi must’ve liked her for her looks.
“Beauty? I have that too. What’s so rare?” Lin Qingyi admitted the vase looked nice, but she didn’t think she was shallow enough to only care about looks.
Qin Shiyue asked, “Then what else do you like about me?” She looked real hopeful. Serving people with looks doesn’t last long. She really hoped Lin Qingyi could dig out some other good points. If she could, Qin Shiyue decided she would like her even more.
Lin Qingyi looked at Qin Shiyue’s pretty eyes. They were full of hope. Just like a puppy waiting to be fed. She couldn’t help wanting to pat her head and give her a yes.
“You’re a bit silly and cute. It's adorable.” Lin Qingyi gave her an answer.
But that answer didn’t make Qin Shiyue happy. Silly and cute? That’s just a nicer way to say she's stupid. So besides being beautiful, she had no other good points? That’s a sad truth.
"It doesn't sound like a compliment," Qin Shiyue said, dissatisfied.
"Baby, I'm hungry." Lin Qingyi hadn't eaten anything since leaving the hospital, and wanted Qin Shiyue to get her something to eat.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I can't cook." Qin Shiyue quickly clarified that she didn't know how to cook.
"I didn't expect you to, I was just stating the fact that I was hungry." Lin Qingyi didn't need to guess to know that Qin Shiyue definitely couldn't, she was obviously a pampered child.

Lin Qingyi seemed convinced that she couldn't do anything, as if she was certain that she was a good-for-nothing. Although it was true, Qin Shiyue was still somewhat unhappy that the person she liked believed that.
"Can you?" Qin Shiyue asked. She really wasn't sure if Lin Qingyi could do it or not, since this person had this attitude of "I can do everything".
"Look at my hand." Lin Qingyi spread out her palm.
Qin Shiyue thought to herself, I've seen it before. But she didn't mind looking again; it was the first time she had seen it so openly. Lin Qingyi's hands were truly beautiful, slender and long, like white jade scallions. Ever since she harbored improper thoughts about her, she would often steal glances at her hands, but she dared not let Lin Qingyi know, the reason was too shameful.
"It looks good, right?" Lin Qingyi asked confidently.
"It's alright." Qin Shiyue didn't want to praise her, lest she become too arrogant.
"How can such beautiful hands be used for cooking?" Lin Qingyi made up a plausible excuse for not knowing how to cook.
Qin Shiyue agreed in her heart; Lin Qingyi's hands really shouldn't be used for cooking.
"Lin Qingyi, I've noticed you're really concerned about saving face. If you don't know something, you don't know it, so why make up so many excuses?" Qin Shiyue complained.
Feeling embarrassed by Qin Shiyue's criticism, Lin Qingyi thought to herself that this "Vase was becoming increasingly arrogant and disrespectful. How difficult could cooking be? It wasn't that she couldn't cook, she just disdained to!
"It doesn't matter if I can't do cooking, as long as I can do you." Lin Qingyi pressed close to Qin Shiyue's ear, not giving in.
Lin Qingyi’s sudden flirtatious words pressed against her ear made Qin Shiyue shiver, thinking, this is deadly, even a casual naughty line from Lin Qingyi makes me feel something.
“That’s hard to say, since you’ve never done it, who knows if you can.” Qin Shiyue felt Lin Qingyi didn’t want to rush, actually she also thought maybe she was a bit too hasty.
“I can do well with anything I want to do.” Lin Qingyi was very confident in herself.
If someone else said this, Qin Shiyue might not believe, but Lin Qingyi’s words had a hint of admiration, and Qin Shiyue felt she really could, confidence was especially charming.
“Then let's order takeout?” Qin Shiyue suggested, "I can't cook, you can’t cook, we can only rely on the developed takeout world now.”
"I never eat takeout." Even food from high-end restaurants doesn't taste good by the time it arrives.
“You’re hungry, just eat what’s there, who’s so picky like you. Or we can go out?” Qin Shiyue didn’t really want to go out, what if paparazzi blocked them, she just wanted to stay home alone with Lin Qingyi, not be disturbed by anyone.
“Just make whatever you have at home.” Lin Qingyi also didn’t want to go out, most other actresses survived the night on willpower, if needed, she’ll just play the starving actress.
“Instant noodles.” Qin Shiyue didn’t often eat at home, but she did have some hidden snacks. Her sister and Sister Fang didn’t allow her to eat such junk, but she sometimes sneaked it at home.
“I don’t want to eat that junk food.” Lin Qingyi sounded even more disgusted.
“Then what do you want? No takeout, can’t go out, instant noodles are not okay. You’re really hard to please. Tell me what to do.” Qin Shiyue shrugged. She couldn’t handle this picky little empress.
“Fine, you cook then.” Lin Qingyi hesitated for a moment. She could at least eat a little since the vase cooked for her.
“You’re bossing me around. That’s not very polite.” Qin Shiyue said, but still obediently took out the instant noodles she had secretly hidden and started getting water ready to boil.
“What flavor do you want?” Qin Shiyue asked.
“Anything. I don’t want to eat the soaked noodles, I want it boiled.” Lin Qingyi saw Qin Shiyue take out the cup noodles and said it at once.
“Then you cook.” Qin Shiyue found that as long as there was a chance, Lin Qingyi would be picky. She always ate it by soaking, never boiled it, and she didn’t want to boil it now.
“This is your home. You’ll really let a guest cook?” Lin Qingyi asked back. This vase had no idea how to treat a guest.
“Then l promote you to be the Madam of the house right now.” Qin Shiyue thought, so easy.
“Baby is really in such a rush. We just started dating and you already want to get married. You’re so eager to give yourself and get married, it makes me a bit scared. Maybe Baby has some hidden illness, I need to check more, so I don’t get tricked.” Lin Qingyi said with a smile.
“No matter what hidden ailments, it’s still fine. Your lower body and your future happiness will still be secured.” Qin Shiyue shot back. She hadn’t dared think about marrying Lin Qingyi yet, but now it sounded pretty nice. Thinking that a picky woman might become her wife, Qin Shiyue resigned herself and took out the pot to cook the noodles.
Lin Qingyi couldn’t help laughing at that.
“Baby’s mind is full of only this. How long has it been since you did it? You’re so thirsty?” Lin Qingyi asked with a smile.
Qin Shiyue pretended not to hear. She also felt a bit bad. Talking like this, she couldn’t help turning the topic there. She thought she should stay proper, not show her lustful side, or Lin Qingyi would think she was like a wolf, even though she hadn’t been like this before. She seemed to act like this only with Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi saw Qin Shiyue pretending not to hear, not denying it either, just admitting it. Lin Qingyi just wanted to tease this perverted baby.
Lin Qingyi stood up, walked behind Qin Shiyue, hugged her from behind, swept Qin Shiyue’s golden hair to the other side, exposing her neck and ear. Lin Qingyi’s lips lightly brushed the skin on Qin Shiyue’s neck and blew air toward her ear.
“What are you doing?” Suddenly being hugged from behind was one thing, but she clearly felt Lin Qingyi’s lips lightly brush her neck. That tingling feeling almost made her legs go weak.
“I just wanted to suddenly hug Baby.” Lin Qingyi saw Qin Shiyue’s ears turn visibly red. Controlling the vase’s reaction so easily made Lin Qingyi very happy.
“Fine, hug then, but stop with the little tricks.” I can’t stand it.
“You don’t like it, Baby?” Lin Qingyi asked with a smile.
Qin Shiyue thought she liked it too much, afraid she might lose control, Lin Qingyi had no idea how long she had been craving her.
“Wait, I’ll try it and you’ll know.” Qin Shiyue really wanted Lin Qingyi to feel this kind of sensation too.
“Okay, after we finish the noodles, I’ll let you try.” Lin Qingyi agreed very straightforwardly.
Qin Shiyue suddenly remembered she was still cooking the noodles. They seemed overcooked, so she quickly turned off the heat.
“Baby, your noodles are really bad, so soft and mushy.” Lin Qingyi complained while eating the overcooked noodles.
It wasn’t her fault. Just now, suddenly being hugged and kissed on the neck by someone, her mind was full of the vase and flower merging, so she forgot to turn off the heat and overcooked the noodles.
“My skills are limited. Eat it or not, it's your choice.” Qin Shiyue said proudly, taking a bite herself. It really was mushy and bad.
“You cook the noodles for me to eat*, I’ll still eat them.” Lin Qingyi said it like, if I don’t go to hell, who will?
*下面 (xià miàn) means to cook noodles but also means “below or down there” so eventually the expression became double entendre among netizens. The line above could also mean “You let me eat you down there, so I will.”
Qin Shiyue thought this time it wasn’t her fault, Lin Qingyi just didn’t speak properly.
After eating, the two cuddled and watched a movie. The movie played, but neither really paid attention, their lips kept sticking together, kissing hard to part.
The longer the movie, the longer they kissed on the sofa. Qin Shiyue tried the things Lin Qingyi did to her just now, lips on Lin Qingyi’s neck and ear, kissing and blowing air, making Lin Qingyi also push her away, unable to stand it.
"Shall we sleep together tonight?" Qin Shiyue asked, her heart pounding with excitement as the movie ended. She wasn't sure what would happen tonight, but she was still looking forward to it.
"Otherwise what?" Lin Qingyi retorted. Didn't she just become the Madam of the house? How could she sleep in the guest room? Of course, she should sleep in the master bedroom.
"We went to bed late last night, so let's go to bed early tonight." Qin Shiyue felt that she was being very objective; neither she nor Lin Qingyi had slept much last night. So why did it still sound like she was impatient?
"Hmm." Lin Qingyi thought that if they really slept together, it would be hard to prevent things from getting out of hand. If the vase really forced herself on her, should she give in or not? Although Lin Qingyi originally wanted to delay gratification, as she kissed Qin Shiyue, she seemed to be unable to suppress her own desires.
Qin Shiyue then led Lin Qingyi into her bedroom.
When Lin Qingyi entered the master bedroom, she couldn’t help looking around Qin Shiyue’s room. Her eyes landed on a small photo frame on the bedside table. Seeing the photo inside, her smile disappeared instantly.
Qin Shiyue followed her gaze and saw the frame too, thinking, damn, I forgot to put this away. Watching Lin Qingyi’s expression, she saw the smile vanish. Without it, Lin Qingyi looked cold and untouchable.
“Uh… I forgot to put it away…” Qin Shiyue hurriedly took away the frame with her and Kong Huizhi’s wedding photo. Left for so long, it had become just a little decoration, something she completely ignored. Recently, her mind was full of Lin Qingyi, so she paid even less attention.
She never imagined Lin Qingyi would come to her bedroom, she was completely unprepared. This is deadly.
Seeing the wedding photo still on the bedside, Lin Qingyi felt a surge of jealousy. Thinking this room might still have been their marital bedroom, and they might have even been on this bed, she was so jealous she felt like she was drowning in vinegar.
Author's Note:
Lin Qingyi: Do you still like your ex-wife? You even put your wedding photos on the bedside table and dared to bring me into the bridal chamber to sleep in this impure bed. I'm so jealous.
Qin Shiyue weakly retorted: The bed is still pure.
