Lin Qingyi just got out of the shower, her skin moist and soft, her whole presence elegant and alluring. Qin Shiyue felt a bit lost in her mind, even though they just finished, she already wanted more. But she couldn’t blame herself, Lin Qingyi was too tempting.
“I need to go home to see my grandma.” Lin Qingyi sat at the dressing table and handed the hair dryer to Qin Shiyue.
These past few days, Lin Qingyi had been hanging out with her, so happy she didn’t want to leave. Qin Shiyue almost forgot that Grandma Lin had broken her leg.
“When?” Qin Shiyue asked, moving the hair dryer quickly while gently running her fingers through Lin Qingyi’s long hair, letting the damp strands meet the warm air. She thought to herself, she hasn’t even left yet, and she was already feeling reluctant to let her go.
“Later.” Lin Qingyi saw in the mirror that Qin Shiyue’s reluctance was written on her face. Does she really not want to let me go? Alright, she admits, she also felt a little unwilling to part.
“Do I need to go see her?” Qin Shiyue asked. They just started dating, going to meet her family already felt a bit fast. But knowing her grandmother was hurt, it didn’t seem right not to visit. Still, whether to go or not depended on Lin Qingyi.
“Is the little wife so eager to go meet her husband’s parents¹ already?” Lin Qingyi couldn’t help but smile, her tone teasing.
“You’re clearly the one who's more submissive than me? So it should be the wife's parents and the wife's Grandma².” Qin Shiyue quickly countered. “I’m seriously asking, should I go see her or not?”
*1 & 2 means in-laws but 1 means husband's side of the family which means Qin Shiyue will be the one marrying into Lin Qingyi’s family and do “daughter-in-law duty or role of a wife” while 2 is wife's side of the family, meaning it's the other way around.
“It’s a bit too soon, let’s wait a while.” Lin Qingyi felt it was too fast to meet the family just after a few days of dating. She thought it better to take things slow, not rush through all the steps at once.
“I think it’s too fast too.” Qin Shiyue agreed logically. Normally, it’s really not appropriate to meet the family after just a few days of dating. Still, deep down, she felt a little disappointed. At least in Lin Qingyi’s view, they weren’t at the stage of meeting families yet. If the roles were reversed, she probably would have immediately taken Lin Qingyi home without hesitation.
Qin Shiyue felt a sense of loss, mostly because she wasn’t used to being apart after such sweet, close days together.
Lin Qingyi noticed that Qin Shiyue was acting strangely.
“Can’t bear to part with me?” Lin Qingyi asked with a smile.
“I do feel reluctant, very reluctant, but it’s not like we can’t meet again.” Qin Shiyue said, stubborn as a dead duck.
“Then I can’t bear to part with Baby, what should I do?” Lin Qingyi asked softly.
Lin Qingyi’s words melted Qin Shiyue’s low mood at once.
“If you can’t bear it, then come find me.” Qin Shiyue said, pretending to sound casual.
“So I can find Baby anytime?” Lin Qingyi asked with a smile.
“I won’t wait for you anytime you want. Don’t you know how popular I am now? I’m surely very busy.” Qin Shiyue said proudly, but the thought of waiting anytime felt a bit pitiful to her.
“Then next time, if I want to see the top traffic star, do I need to book in advance?” Lin Qingyi asked with a smile.
“My girlfriend still has special rights.” Qin Shiyue said, in a tone like she was giving extra favor.
“What special right?” Lin Qingyi turned around and faced Qin Shiyue as she asked.
“The right to see me anytime.” Qin Shiyue thought she was deep in love. She didn’t want to work at all. She only wanted to stick with Lin Qingyi every day.
“Baby is so good.” Lin Qingyi reached out and hugged Qin Shiyue’s waist, then pressed her face against her.
“You have good taste.” Qin Shiyue said, pretending to be proud.
Qin Shiyue knows that all her arrogance is just a cover for how much she likes her. She was the one who wanted to see Lin Qingyi anytime.
Lin Qingyi laughed softly when she heard that.
Lin Qingyi left, and the room suddenly felt frighteningly empty.
Qin Shiyue felt like she was possessed. She couldn’t help looking for the traces Lin Qingyi left behind, but those lingering scents only made her feel more lost and restless.
Qin Shiyue felt she couldn’t stay in Lin Qingyi’s place anymore, or her heart would keep aching like it had a hole in it.
So she changed her clothes and went home too. Just right, her parents and her sister were waiting for her. They probably knew she and Lin Qingyi were getting along very well. After confirming she and Lin Qingyi started dating, they tacitly chose not to disturb her.
Oh right, didn’t her sister say she had something important to announce? It seemed it wasn’t something urgent.
Qin Shiyue suddenly came back, and the Qin parents were a bit surprised. With their youngest daughter’s personality, she should be sticking to her new girlfriend like glue right now.
“Aren’t you dating Movie Queen Lin?” Mom Qin asked. She came back after only three or four days. Did she fail the trial period and get dumped? But her complexion looked rosy, and didn't look heartbroken.
“Her grandmother broke her leg, so she went home to see her.” Qin Shiyue thought, am I really this obvious about being a love fool?
“No wonder. Send your sister a message and say you’re back. When you’re not home, she won’t announce that important thing. She keeps acting mysterious.” Mom Qin went from very curious at first to seventy percent less curious now. If it were really urgent, it would’ve been announced long ago.
“Mm.” Qin Shiyue quickly sent Qin Shilan a message.
[Sister, are you coming home for dinner tonight? I’m back. I miss you so much.] Qin Shiyue sent the message in a coquettish tone. Lately she missed Lin Qingyi more often. She didn’t actually miss her sister that much. But her sister also seemed busy recently, and checked on her a little less than before.
[Okay, I’ll come back early tonight. I miss Baby too.] Qin Shilan replied right away.
An hour later, Qin Shilan got home.
“Long time no see, Baby. Let sister hug you.” As soon as Qin Shilan entered, she opened her arms and waited for Qin Shiyue.
She wore a light gray custom work suit, making Qin Shilan look capable and refined.
Qin Shiyue hadn’t seen her sister in a long time, so she hugged her without a word.
“Baby looks great. You’ve become prettier.” Seeing her sister glowing from love, looking brighter than flowers, Qin Shilan felt relieved and happy for her.
“Sister looks great too.” Qin Shiyue could feel her sister’s good mood. It had to be because she was happy to see her.
“How about compared to your Lin Qingyi?” Qin Shilan teased with a smile.
“Different types, each has her own charm.” When Qin Shiyue talked about Lin Qingyi, her heart felt sweet.
“Shiyue really made it this time. You even chased down Movie Queen Lin. Our family ancestors are about to send up green smoke.” Mom Qin said with a pleased tone.
"It was clearly her who pursued me," Qin Shiyue retorted. Lin Qingyi confessed her feelings first, which was common knowledge. How could her mother speak with such a gleeful tone, as if she were a pig finding a good cabbage?
“That means Movie Queen Lin has good taste. Our Shiyue is so cute and pretty.” Qin Shilan took Qin Shiyue’s side without question.
“Sister is the best.” Qin Shiyue hugged her sister again after just letting go.
At night, the Qin family of four ate together, happily and warmly.
“You said before that you had something important to announce after everyone was here. What is it?” While they were eating, Mom Qin asked.
“I do have something important to say.” Qin Shilan put down her chopsticks, her tone serious. Before, she worried Shiyue might have thoughts about it, so she did not say it. Now that Shiyue was with Lin Qingyi, she should accept Qin Shilan marrying Kong Huizhi more easily.
“What is it?” Qin Shiyue was very curious too.
“I’m already married.” Qin Shilan announced.
The other three all stopped their chopsticks and looked at Qin Shilan at the same time.
This was too sudden.

They never even heard about a partner, so how was she suddenly married? This was truly a heavy, explosive piece of news.
“When did this happen?” Mom Qin asked.
“Who did you marry?” Father Qin asked.
“Huh? Sister got married?” Qin Shiyue could not help repeating it.
“More than a month ago, I got the marriage license with her. The person I married is someone you all know.” Qin Shilan paused in the middle. She was a bit embarrassed.
Someone they all knew? Who could it be? Everyone got even more curious.
“Kong Huizhi.” Qin Shilan had seen big scenes before, so she stayed calm when she announced it.
Mom Qin dropped her chopsticks.
Father Qin froze.
Qin Shiyue’s eyes went wide. There should be someone in this world with the same name as her ex wife. But her sister said it was someone they all knew. Qin Shiyue was sure she only knew one woman named Kong Huizhi.

Qin Shilan: Surprised? Unexpected?
Mom Qin: I need to calm down.
Father Qin: This...
Qin Shiyue: ...
After the car finished driving, the comments dropped a lot. It felt like fingers were mercilessly pulled out.
