CH 74

Lu Zhi Wei looked down at the person she loved, lying on her lap.

Sang Wan Ci had always been straightforward, ever since they first kissed.

It’s just that no other time had been as passionate with as much longing as this time.

Even the fingertips that touched their lips carried the desire they had for each other.

Because it wasn’t the same.

Now, they were each other’s girlfriends, each other’s one and only.

All of their feelings had been given the rightful qualifications.

Sang Wan Ci’s finger gently rubbed against Lu Zhi Wei’s lips as she asked again: “Can I?”

Lu Zhi Wei lifted her hand, trailing her fingertips up Sang Wan Ci’s slender arm until she finally held onto her hand.

Lu Zhi Wei kissed Sang Wan Ci’s fingertips: “Doesn’t your head hurt?”

Sang Wan Ci shook her head: “It doesn’t hurt now.”

Lu Zhi Wei said in amusement: “It doesn’t hurt when we’re talking about this?”

Sang Wan Ci said seriously: “Mm, it doesn’t hurt when we’re talking about this.”

Lu Zhi Wei sighed softly: “This kid……”

How could she always say such things with a straight face?

But she couldn’t refuse.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were all covered up securely by the curtains.

All the recording equipment in the room had been turned off.

The door was also locked, so nobody could open it from outside.

Everything seemed to have been prepared for what they were going to do next.

Sang Wan Ci sat up, moving closer as she looked at Lu Zhi Wei.

Lu Zhi Wei’s ears suddenly started turning red.

She wanted to look away from this scorching gaze, but she couldn’t move her eyes away.

She had always felt that Sang Wan Ci’s eyes were beautiful.

Beautiful like clear pieces of amber, like dazzling gems.

Her gaze could always be attracted to these eyes, so no matter what Sang Wan Ci disguised herself as, she could always recognise her immediately through her eyes.

She slowly lifted her hand and gently cupped Sang Wan Ci’s perfect face.

Wan Ci. Please read at jiulian lian . word press . com

My beautiful Wan Ci……

Lu Zhi Wei’s cheeks pinked, and she said shyly: “You can, of course you can.

“I’m your girlfriend, you can do anything you want.”

It was only natural for a girlfriend to kiss her girlfriend, what wasn’t right?

Besides, they were both adults. She wished Sang Wan Ci wouldn’t be so polite at times like this.

If she wanted to kiss her, then kiss her. If she wanted to hug her, then hug her. Express her feelings and love as much as possible.

Sang Wan Ci understood, smiling as she wrapped her arm around Lu Zhi Wei’s waist, leaning in to meet her lips.

It was a long-awaited kiss.

They had waited many days for this.

At this moment, they longed for each other more than they did before, selfishly wanting to possess the other’s body and heart.

—— You’re mine, nobody can take you away.

Lu Zhi Wei’s fingertips couldn’t help but brush against Sang Wan Ci’s face, then her hands moved to the back of her neck and encircled it.

Her left hand sunk into Sang Wan Ci’s soft hair as she stroked it.

Amidst their growingly chaotic breathing, they pulled each other closer.

Don’t escape, they had to sink in this moment together, committing it to memory.

After confirming their relationship, it was like their kiss was a burning fire, reducing their restraint to nothing.

Their kiss was no longer just superficial, but passionately welcoming to dive even deeper, entangling their lips and tongues.

Lu Zhi Wei could feel Sang Wan Ci’s exploration and warmth, as she responded.

Their lips touched each other, soft and intertwined, the room filled with charm.

Even if their kissing skills weren’t good, they had no regret.

Being able to share the joy of sharing the same feelings as the person you like, it was better than all the good things in the world.

Lu Zhi Wei’s kiss was passionate, as her nose suddenly prickled.

This was like a dream to her.

So she could also be with the person she likes.

So she could also hug the light, and have a share of the beautiful things in this world.

So she could also be liked, and hugged……

Their breathing grew heavier, as they slowly parted and leaned their foreheads against each other’s.

They still didn’t feel satisfied.

Their love now was too short. They wanted to love each other even longer, even further, until the end of their lives.

Lu Zhi Wei gently rubbed her hand against the back of Sang Wan Ci’s head, and kissed her lightly, the light in her eyes glimmering.

She made her first request: “Wan Ci, like me more.”

“Look at me more, like me more, don’t abandon me.

“Be my light for the rest of my life.

“Okay?”

She didn’t know why she was suddenly so emotional.

Maybe the atmosphere was too good, maybe it was because this beautiful scenario came about too quickly, making her scared but happy, and exceptionally selfish.

She was afraid to lose it, afraid this was all just a dream.

She wanted to keep Sang Wan Ci by her side forever, not giving her to anybody else.

Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying: “Zhi Wei, do you know, a lot of people say I’m like my dad.”

Lu Zhi Wei looked up at her.

Sang Wan Ci continued: “My dad is a very steadfast person. As long as he decides on someone, he will spend the rest of his life loving that person, unchanging no matter what happens.”

Lu Zhi Wei’s eyelashes fluttered.

Sang Wan Ci’s voice was gentle: “So I’m the same. As long as I decide on someone, I will use the rest of my life to love her.”

Through wind and rain, through all four seasons, through sickness and death, forever.

This was the love they had towards their partners.

Sang Wan Ci kissed her eyebrows gently: “Zhi Wei, you’re my choice. Liking you is part of what I should do.”

She was going to make her own choices in life, and she was going to make her own choices in love.

Once she caught her, she would never let go again for the rest of her life.

If she said the rest of her life, she meant it.

—— You’re my choice.

Lu Zhi Wei smiled through her tears, hugging Sang Wan Ci again.

These were the most gentle, most passionate and most genuine words she had heard.

“Sigh, I’m always crying today……”

Lu Zhi Wei wiped away her tears, her smile radiant and bright.

“But I’m so happy, really super happy.”

Sang Wan Ci smiled at that.

“Me too.”

It was the first time she felt that having a love rival was useful.

Jin Man Wen, thank you.

Thank you for using your sadness in exchange to give me my girlfriend.

After confirming their relationship, the two of them got even more intimate while sleeping.

The honeymoon period’s sweetness was present from their toes all the way to the tips of their hair.

When Lu Zhi Wei crawled out of Sang Wan Ci’s arms after waking up, she couldn’t help but give thanks that the cameras were turned off, or they would have come out of the closet in front of the whole nation.

《Me and My Friend》 would probably become 《Me and My Girlfriend》 thanks to them.

Just as she sat up, Sang Wan Ci hugged her.

Before they confirmed their relationship, Sang Wan Ci was already clingy. Now that they confirmed their relationship, she got even clingier.

Lu Zhi Wei smiled and rubbed the head of her little girlfriend.

Then she picked up her phone and read her messages.

The production crew had sent two messages over.

[Xiao Wu]: Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu. If you two are awake, remember to turn on the recording equipment. We need to continue recording. There are still two days, work hard ^_^

[Xiao Wu]: Today’s mission is: Do the thing you like most together

Lu Zhi Wei tilted her head to the side.

There was a clingy baby on her shoulder who hadn’t woken up completely yet, how could she dare to turn on the cameras?

And she was still a bit dazed too.

Feeling as if yesterday was all a dream.

“Wan Ci.”

Sang Wan Ci held onto her, opening her beautiful eyes slightly as her raspy voice sounded out: “Mm?”

“Are you my girlfriend? I’m really not dreaming?”

Lu Zhi Wei held her face in disbelief.

Sang Wan Ci chuckled and turned Lu Zhi Wei’s head around, kissing her without hesitation.

“Good morning, girlfriend.”

—— It’s real, it’s not a dream.

Lu Zhi Wei’s disbelief was immediately swept away.

Her mood immediately became sunny as she turned around and hugged Sang Wan Ci, burying her face in the crook of her neck.

“Great, you like me too!”

Having your feelings reciprocated, it was never going to be enough to be happy for just one night.

Lu Zhi Wei felt like she could be happy for an entire year!

Sang Wan Ci smiled and rubbed her head, feeling like she was cute no matter what.

So what if she was older than her?

Jiejie was still very cute.

Lu Zhi Wei rejoiced for a bit, then stopped. They still had to work.

In Sang Wan Ci’s arms, she lifted her head to look at her: “Are you ready to get out of bed? The production crew wants us to turn on the recording equipment after we wake up.

“They’ve sent over today’s mission too.”

Sang Wan Ci’s eyes were soft as water as she helped Lu Zhi Wei tidy her messy hair: “What’s the mission?”

Lu Zhi Wei: “Doing our favourite thing together.”

Sang Wan Ci’s face didn’t change: “Then I’m doing it every day.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “Mm?”

Sang Wan Ci: “Being together with jiejie.”

Lu Zhi Wei had been flirted with again, her expression turning shy.

“Aiya, you really…… Flirting early in the morning!”

Sang Wan Ci calmly and seriously said: “Flirting with my person, it’s only natural.”

Lu Zhi Wei’s ears were almost charmed off as she quickly got up.

“Get up, get up, if this continues I won’t be able to leave this room!

“Remember to be more restrained in front of the cameras later, okay?

“You can’t keep clinging to me for no reason or hugging me from behind, what if people realise?”

Sang Wan Ci laid back on the bed, bending an elbow and supporting her head as she looked at Lu Zhi Wei with a slight smile: “Zhi Wei, before yesterday, I frequently hugged you in front of the camera too.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “……”

Right.

It’s nothing new that Sang Wan Ci has been acting close to her, wouldn’t it be more suspicious if it suddenly changed?

Her girlfriend was indeed far-sighted. She had planned so early ahead to be close to her and let the audience get used to it.

—— She’s truly the female protagonist who doesn’t follow the script, she’ll never disappoint!

But actually, Sang Wan Ci didn’t plan for it.

She dared to get so close to Lu Zhi Wei because it wasn’t a rare thing for same-sex friends to be touchy-feely with each other. Besides, she had to let Lu Zhi Wei get used to her, how could she give up any chance to hug her?

Lu Zhi Wei turned on the equipment in the room, as both of them went to wash up.

The two of them discussed how to complete the mission while they were washing up.

—— They decided to make dumplings.

Sang Wan Ci liked eating dumplings, Lu Zhi Wei liked cooking for Sang Wan Ci. This way, it really was something they both liked doing.

Lu Zhi Wei said: “Filming is going to end tomorrow, I’ll make extra today so we can give both the two other groups some. Everybody has been nice to us these few days.”

Sang Wan Ci nodded.

She’d listen to whatever her Zhi Wei said.

After washing up, she took her phone and changed her wallpaper to the photo she took of Lu Zhi Wei a few days ago, from that “girlfriend angle”.

Now, this photo was really from a girlfriend angle.

… Please read at jiulian lian . word press . com

The dumplings were done, and they packed it up.

Lu Zhi Wei took two thermos boxes and went out with her girlfriend to distribute the dumplings.

When they were about to give it to Jin Man Wen’s group, Sang Wan Ci took the dumplings from her hand.

She didn’t plan to give it to them herself either. Having just rejected her, and then giving her dumplings, it was somewhat unsuitable. It wouldn’t be good if Jin Man Wen overthought it.

The doorbell was pressed.

Zhou Su ran to open the door. She saw Sang Wan Ci and Lu Zhi Wei standing outside the moment she opened it, and she was a bit confused: “What’s up?”

Jin Man Wen, who had spent the night healing her wounds, walked to the door as well: “Is something the matter?”

Sang Wan Ci handed the dumplings to Zhou Su: “Treating you guys to some dumplings.”

Lu Zhi Wei added on: “It’s just some normal dumplings, hope you guys don’t mind, thanks for taking care of us these few days.”

Jin Man Wen looked at the dumplings, then at Lu Zhi Wei.

At this moment, she didn’t know if Lu Zhi Wei had specially come to comfort her after rejecting her.

Seeing through her confusion, Sang Wan Ci said without thinking: “Zhi Wei made a lot, all the guests have some.”

Jin Man Wen: “Oh.”

She didn’t come specially to comfort her.

Sigh……

Forget it, at least there were dumplings to eat.

But this Sang Wan Ci, how could she be so calm after hearing that Lu Zhi Wei liked someone last night?

It even looks like her relationship with Lu Zhi Wei is better than before??

The two of them left after sending over the dumplings.

Arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, chatting and laughing.

Jin Man Wen stood at the door looking at them.

These actions, this scene, she had it with Zhou Su before too, but they didn’t have the same feeling that Lu Zhi Wei and Sang Wan Ci gave off.

There was a little something extra between them. Lu Zhi Wei’s gaze towards Sang Wan Ci was also more gentle than before, as if the whole world couldn’t come between them.

Thinking about it, Jin Man Wen suddenly had an epiphany.

She widened her eyes in shock.

Could it be Lu Zhi Wei liked Sang Wan Ci?

So the only person hurt all along was me???



After finishing the dumplings, Lu Zhi Wei practiced the violin again. When she was resting, she took out her yarn and needles and started preparing the gift again.

Sang Wan Ci realised she had prepared quite a bit, and asked curiously as she sat beside her: “Are you making a lot?”

Lu Zhi Wei hadn’t revealed what she was making on the show, or who she was gifting it too. Lu Si Jiao would watch her shows, so when she spoke to Sang Wan Ci about something related, they would speak in code.

They would either change the name, or use their phones to type to each other, so the production crew and audience couldn’t hear anything.

So Lu Zhi Wei picked up her phone: [Jiao Jiao actually just wanted a hat, but her birthday is pretty close to the start of winter, so I wanted to make more stuff for her so she could match and use them]

After that, she proudly raised her eyebrows and smiled: “How about it, aren’t I very good?”

Sang Wan Ci smiled.

But this really looked too much…… It didn’t look like it was only for one person.

Could it be she was planning to make enough for Lu Si Jiao to use next winter too?

But this wasn’t hard to explain either. Having just repaired their relationship, it was normal for Lu Zhi Wei to spoil her sister a bit more.

Sang Wan Ci didn’t probe, just asking for Lu Si Jiao’s birthday.

Lu Zhi Wei sent her a date.

It was only then that Sang Wan Ci realised Lu Si Jiao’s birthday and the Golden Autumn Awards were both in October.

They both started using their phones to chat.

[Sang Wan Ci]: What does she like?

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Are you giving her a birthday gift?

[Sang Wan Ci]: Mm.

[Sang Wan Ci]: I need to get on her good side.

Lu Zhi Wei couldn’t help but laugh.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: You’re already planning to get on her good side now?

Sang Wan Ci replied seriously.

[Sang Wan Ci]: Mm, getting on her good side is getting on your good side. You’ll be happy if she’s happy.

Everything she did was with Lu Zhi Wei in mind.

As long as she could make Lu Zhi Wei happy, she would be willing to do anything.

Seeing that text, Lu Zhi Wei’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards.

She looked up.

The two of them made eye contact.

Sang Wan Ci looked at her gently, enough to let Lu Zhi Wei see her sincerity.

At this moment, Lu Zhi Wei wanted to lean forward and kiss her.

Kiss her eyelids, kiss her face, kiss her lips, kiss everything.

Then ask her, why are you so good? Why can you always make me so moved?

But with the cameras around, they couldn’t do anything.

They had to control and restrain themselves.

After a moment, Lu Zhi Wei chuckled helplessly and reached out to rub Sang Wan Ci’s head.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: You don’t have to give her anything. I’m already very happy you have this intention

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Thank you, girlfriend

[Lu Zhi Wei]: 【Kiss.JPG】

Sang Wan Ci looked at the cute expression pack, then at Lu Zhi Wei.

Then she lowered her head and typed: [We haven’t discussed this yet, how do we control ourselves when we want to kiss each other?]

Lu Zhi Wei paused, then rubbed the tip of her nose in embarrassment.

Looks like her girlfriend is much more direct than her.

She thought about it, then typed.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Save it first, for later when we’re not filming at night

Then she saw Sang Wan Ci send over: [Okay.]

[Sang Wan Ci]: From just now till now, I’ve wanted to kiss Zhi Wei 16 times.

[Sang Wan Ci]: I’ll keep track.

Lu Zhi Wei was surprised: “???”

How was it 16 times??

When did she start counting from???

… Please read at jiulian lian . word press . com

Half past 10 at night.

Sang Wan Ci’s room had all the recording equipment turned off.

The dark night was silent, with nobody talking.

They were hugging each other, their breaths intermingling.

This was their last night here. Tomorrow, they would have to rush back to An City after finishing filming, and resume their own work.

They didn’t know when the next time they could meet would be.

Because they both cherished tonight, they kissed particularly affectionately. Even their usual sleeping time was delayed by a bit as they hugged each other in bed and talked.

Lu Zhi Wei softly said: “Work hard, but don’t forget to rest well. You can’t be like before, forcing yourself to get even better and exhausting yourself, understand?”

Sang Wan Ci laid on her side, hugging Lu Zhi Wei’s waist as she replied: “Mm, you too.”

Then she brought Lu Zhi Wei’s hand to her lips and kissed it: “Call me when you miss me. If someone bullies you, call me too.

“Your girlfriend is your support, got it?”

Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes curved in a smile: “I remember.”

Sang Wan Ci looked at her, pulling her into an embrace with traces of longing in her voice: “We’ll be apart from tomorrow onwards, you must miss me.”

“I’ll miss you everyday,” Lu Zhi Wei hugged her, saying obediently. “I’ll miss you a lot.”

“Good girl.”

“You too.”

Sang Wan Ci stroked her head as she said: “I really want to go on a romance variety with Zhi Wei……”

She really wanted to let everybody know this was her girlfriend.

She really wanted to kiss her openly.

She really wanted to hold her hand and not have it be misunderstood that they were just good friends.

Hearing that, Lu Zhi Wei smiled and patted her waist: “Then wait for me, Wan Ci, I’ll work hard and get popular!”

Sang Wan Ci was her motivation, love was her motivation!

Hearing that, Sang Wan Ci thought she was cute.

Sang Wan Ci let go of her and drew closer to her lips, asking enticingly: “Jiejie, do you want to kiss me again?”

Lu Zhi Wei: “……”

Honestly, she felt like Sang Wan Ci was really very dangerous.

Because Sang Wan Ci could always accurately grasp her weak spots and draw closer to her and entice her, making her unable to refuse.

Continuing on like this, even if Sang Wan Ci wanted her heart, she probably would obediently carve it out for her.

But what could she do?

Sang Wan Ci was worth it.

“Want.” She replied.

She wanted to make up for all the kisses they couldn’t have earlier.

If she couldn’t make up for all of them, then they’d continue the next time they met. She wouldn’t feel that there was too much time spent with her girlfriend.

……

《Me and My Friend》 successfully finished filming.

Everybody followed their own managers back, each returning to their own careers.

Lu Zhi Wei got on the car and listened to Wen Yao mentioning her upcoming schedule, then started sweetly messaging Sang Wan Ci.

[Lu Zhi Wei]: Baby Sang, remember to text me when you get home and let me know you’re safe

[Lu Zhi Wei]: 【Cute.JPG】

[Wan Ci]: Okay, I got it.

After a few seconds, she felt like something was missing, and sent another word.

[Wan Ci]: Baby.

Lu Zhi Wei’s heart felt like it had been shot with an arrow.

Calling her “baby Lu” or directly calling her “baby” resulted in two different feelings.

The latter was more pampering, full of her love, with a hint of sweetness.

—— Sang Wan Ci, how can you be so sweet!!!

Lu Zhi Wei held onto her phone, feeling like she was about to die.

In her peripheral vision, Wen Yao could see the air of romance emanating from Lu Zhi Wei, so she asked: “Zhi Wei jie…… you’re chatting with your boyfriend?”

She didn’t object to Lu Zhi Wei dating. After all, Lu Zhi Wei wasn’t an idol who relied on selling her appeal as a girlfriend.

And Lu Zhi Wei was already 27 this year, it was too normal to date.

So she was just purely curious about her artiste’s love life.

Hearing “boyfriend”, Lu Zhi Wei immediately denied it: “What boyfriend, I don’t have a boyfriend, don’t misunderstand.”

What she had was a fragrant, soft, sweet, obedient, beautiful and mesmerising girlfriend!!

Wen Yao: “Oh, you don’t? Looking at you, I thought you were dating.”

Lu Zhi Wei smiled, not intending to reveal it: “No, I was just amused by a little friend.”

Wen Yao: “Which little friend?”

Lu Zhi Wei: “My little friend[1].”

Wen Yao suddenly understood: “Oh, your meimei, I remember, she’s quite cute.”

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t speak, amusement in her eyes.

Yes, Sang Wan Ci was also considered her meimei.

As long as she dared, her didis and meimeis could be found all around the world!

Lu Zhi Wei turned away and supported her chin, looking out the window.

Speaking of Sang Wan Ci, she had a question she hadn’t asked Lao Wu yet.

She called out for him in her heart.

Lao Wu quickly answered: 【Ah ah ah, I’m here, what’s up, what happened? You want to draw the prize?】

【……】

Lu Zhi Wei: 【Setting aside the prize drawing, my girlfriend’s matter is more important.】

Lao Wu: 【People truly do change after dating.】

Now all she talked about was “my girlfriend”.

Lu Zhi Wei was embarrassed for a moment, then told Lao Wu about Sang Wan Ci’s headaches, her face growing more serious.

【These headaches clearly have nothing to do with her health, is it because of your system?】

Lao Wu pushed up his spectacles: 【She has no system in her body, the system can’t affect her. If it was affecting someone, it would be you.

【Perhaps……】

After Lao Wu said that, he paused, as if deliberating whether to tell her or not.

【Perhaps what?】 Lu Zhi Wei asked.

No matter what, she wanted to know.

She couldn’t not care about something related to Sang Wan Ci.

Lao Wu sighed: 【Zhi Wei, I’ll be honest with you.】

【Someone’s attacking this world. Sang Wan Ci’s headaches…… might be related to that.】

[1] 小朋友 – So this translates to little friend, and you can use it when talking to a kid, but people also use it to refer to their girlfriend/boyfriend nowadays, especially when you say “my little friend”.
