Chapter 24 part 2

Amidst the misty haze in the bathroom, Yun Feiwu could faintly see Xia Shutong tilting her head, her gaze vacant as she looked at her. At first glance, she resembled an innocent child, yet upon closer inspection, an endless sense of confusion could be discerned.

Yun Feiwu’s heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she almost thought that Xia Shutong had sobered up, that she no longer remembered who she was.

Fortunately, as soon as Yun Feiwu stepped into the water, Xia Shutong held her hand and obediently moved closer to her side.

“Ruan Ruan, sit tight and don’t move. Let me wash your hair for you.”

Yun Feiwu positioned herself behind Xia Shutong and squeezed some shampoo onto her head.

Watching Xia Shutong’s docile demeanor, Yun Feiwu paused for a moment. Then, her features softened, and a playful glint shimmered in her gray eyes like stars in the night sky.

Who would have thought that the fierce Xia Shutong had such an unbelievably gentle side?

No one knew except her.

Gradually, Yun Feiwu inched closer to Xia Shutong, her gaze revealing a hint of nervousness that she couldn’t contain.

“Ruan Ruan… What’s your relationship with Qian Lingling?” Yun Fei Wu paused, then added softly, “I mean, to you, what is she?”

“Huh?” Xia Shutong pondered in a daze, then nodded firmly, “My Daughter!”

“Uh?” Yun Feiwu raised an eyebrow.

Drunk like a child, the words Xia Shutong uttered were clearly her most genuine subconscious thoughts.

However, no matter how you looked at it, seeing your personal secretary as a daughter was quite strange, wasn’t it?

Upon further reflection, while Qian Lingling might not be too young, she did indeed have a cute and petite appearance. It wouldn’t be too strange if she managed to evoke a maternal instinct in Xia Shutong… maybe.

…

Well, okay, it was still quite strange.

Yun Feiwu asked again, “And me? What am I to you?”

“Maomao…” This time, Xia Shutong was even more perplexed.

After a long pause, she mumbled, “…Sister.”

A sudden pang of pain struck Yun Feiwu’s heart, and the hand intertwined with Xia Shutong’s involuntarily tightened.

Sister?

The same sister you sleep in bed with, share your life with, and even got married to?

“Xia Ruan, you…” Yun Feiwu didn’t even realize it herself, her body leaned towards Xia Shutong, her hand unintentionally let go and moved closer to Xia Shutong’s neck.

Suddenly, Xia Shutong was pinned beneath her. Immediately, she raised an eyebrow, her voice taking on a playful tone, “Sister, sister?”

Despite the imposing posture, Xia Shutong showed no signs of fear. Her eyes still held a hint of confusion, as if she were earnestly trying to recall something.

Yun Feiwu: “…”

With Xia Shutong not cooperating, Yun Feiwu’s momentum dissipated, and her expression quickly turned pitiful.

Her fingers clenched into a fist, and her body slowly started to back away.

However, at that moment, Xia Shutong suddenly wrapped her arms around Yun Feiwu’s neck, pulling her back in.

“Ruan Ruan?” Yun Feiwu tilted her head in bewilderment.

“Maomao, I remember now.” Xia Shutong’s eyebrows and eyes gradually curved with delight. She swiftly got up and pecked Yun Feiwu’s lips, her voice light and cheerful, “You’re my wife.”

Xia Shutong’s gaze remained innocent and guileless.

If it weren’t for the soft sensation on her lips, Yun Feiwu would have doubted that she had any idea what she was saying.

Yun Feiwu’s heart suddenly softened and became as tender as if it were about to melt away.

Just as she was about to say something, Xia Shutong’s gentle and warm palm touched the back of her neck, moving soothingly back and forth.

It was a bit itchy and somewhat tingly, yet it made her feel exceptionally comforted and at ease.

Yun Feiwu closed her eyes and, like a docile and gentle dog, slowly buried her head in Xia Shutong’s chest, her breath transitioning from rapid to calm.

“Ruan Ruan…” Yun Feiwu almost whispered.

“When you wake up tomorrow morning, don’t forget about me again…”

Xia Shutong didn’t respond.

Yun Feiwu lightly nuzzled again, “…is that okay?”

Still no response.

She lifted her head, only to find that Xia Shutong had fallen asleep at some point.

Yun Feiwu let out a faint sigh, retreated slightly, pulled Xia Shutong into her embrace, and closed her eyes as well.

In the realm of dreams, a faint smile always graced Yun Feiwu’s cheeks.

Tonight, they used the same shower gel, even their presence carried the same essence.

She dreamt of a distant past, the first time she stayed over at Xia Shutong’s house. Just like today, they bathed together, lay on the bed, and exchanged secrets for hours. Eventually, they embraced and drifted into sleep side by side.

In the dream, Yun Feiwu vaguely recalled that she was in fifth grade, eleven years old, during summer vacation. Her dad was away on a business trip, leaving her with her stepmother and younger brother at home. She decided to escape and spent several days living with Xia Shutong.

Back then, Xia Shutong was known as Xia Ruan, and Yun Feiwu didn’t go by her current name.

The house was a small, dilapidated, and gloomy dwelling in Cloud City. A faint musty odor lingered in the room, and the bed creaked with every movement. Spiderwebs adorned the walls, a far cry from the luxurious Yun family mansion.

Yet, Yun Feiwu adored Xia Shutong’s home at that time. From then on, she yearned, yearned to live with Xia Shutong forever, so they could bathe together every night, their scents melding like kindred spirits. Before sleep, they could hold hands and converse on the bed, and gazed at the stars through the gap in the curtain.
