The Goddess and the Ugly Duckling

A Bit of Daily Life

When your eyes are closed, you can feel their breath on your ear.

Just over a day, that was how long Xiaoya stayed at her parents before high-tailing back to Lu Xiaobei's place the next Sunday afternoon. To this, well... Lu Xiaobei uttered no complaints because she had also overestimated herself. Despite them being together for over two years, and perhaps due to them spending more time apart than together back then, they were still in their honeymoon phase where for every moment of every day their minds were filled with nothing but the other. What did she eat today? Is she happy? Did she sleep well?...

When your eyes are opened, you can see their face.

At that point, Xiaoya was convinced her captain's skill was only second to that of three-star Michelin chefs!

Lu Xiaobei: "There's no need for that, though. Anyhow, we'll always be together so why does it matter."

"But I want to make you breakfast, especially today," Lu Xiaobei pleaded.

But Xiaoya still protested: "It's not like I don't want to go see my folks, it's just that... this our honeymoon period! Just let me stay here for a month and then I'll go see them the following week, okay? Just this month, I want to spend every single day together, with you."

Xiaoya: "Nope, it's not." But before Lu Xiaobei's smile had completely blossomed, Xiaoya then added, "It's the just the second biggest advantage."

This kiss was unlike the one they had shared that sweet and lingering, it was more intense, seeming to wish to convey every last ounce of her love. Put simply, it was as though she laid her entire heart bare.

The reason for this was during the first term of Xiaoya's second semester at college, Lu Xiaobei gave Xiaoya some startling news.

That was how Xiaoya imagined what it was like to be with someone she loved deeply.

Now, they could love each other freely.

"Captain," Xiaoya shouted, "this is not going to work! If you spoil me until I'm useless, if you ever leave me, what am I going to do?"

Xiaoya had blinked and blinked to barely pull her mind fully conscious before asking, "What is all this?"

That was how Xiaoya imagined what it was like to be with someone she loved deeply.

Just for a moment, Xiaoya was left in a daze. It is said, that beauty lies in the eyes of the lover, and her beloved was in fact a beauty, so what was she supposed to do?

And when she woke the next day,the first sight that met her eyes was Lu Xiaobei resting her head on a propped up arm, while a smile like the first blossom of Spring or freshly melted snow was spread lovingly across her face.

To which Lu Xiaobei answered, "Rinse out your mouth then eat the congee so that way when you sleep for a bit longer your stomach won't be empty. You can brush your teeth after you get up again, so be good, okay~"

It tugged a soft chuckle from lips as she responded, "It's... not impossible."

N/A

Lu Xiaobei's words from the just gone night then replayed in Xiaoya's ears. "After we take this next step, I won't let you go. Even if you regret it, I will never let you go."

Like this, she'd end up having no position in their home!

The morning light radiated through the nearby window, its light causing even the fluff of fine hairs on Lu Xiaobei's skin to be seen. She looked just like a fairy from a movie, completely bathed in an ethereal glow.

Xiaoya: "I already told my roommates about us and they said they'd cover for me if she shows up. Besides, I left some bedding and clothes back there for this reason. So, if my mom does pop up, it won't take me long to rush over there from here."

"Wow... Our school's most beautiful girl and our department's beauty got together."

In the end, Xiaoya had learned from Lu Xiaobei how to cook. But, in terms of whether she'd gained the title of "one bringing home the bacon," that was up for debate.

"What???!!! Your internship is in Shanghai???" Xiaoya yelled frantically, "Why the heck isn't it in Nancheng???"

Xiaoya's eyes then fluttered close while she thoroughly enjoyed their kiss. She felt as though the two of them had slipped into their own realm in that moment, one where it was impossible for anyone else to invade.

Just for a moment, Xiaoya was left in a daze. It is said, that beauty lies in the eyes of the lover, and her beloved was in fact a beauty, so what was she supposed to do?

Xiaoya: "I want you to teach me how to cook. I'll be responsible for 'making money to support our family' and you can be responsible for being beautiful." Because if not, and things kept on going like this, in terms of beauty, she couldn't compare to Lu Xiaobei, and going this this road will make her being the one bringing home the bacon impossible!

"Yeah." Xiaoya replied simply, after all, it was the day she had been waiting for for so long.

But Xiaoya jumped away to escape Lu Xiaobei's reach, then the two of them chased each other and frolicked in that room.

Especially since they had just started living together and Xiaoya was cared for like she couldn't care for herself on her own. One morning, she had woken up when the sun was long hanging high in the sky, still very much in a daze, bemoaning, "Captain, I don't wanna get out of bed today."

If not, based on her mother's keen senses, if she sets foot within he daughter's dorm room, if Xiaoya or one of her roommates let's something slip, Lu Xiaobei's future with Xiaoya will most certainly not be as peaceful as it was now.

So Lu Xiaobei now did her best to coax the girl before her, saying, "Please just be good and stay at your folks for a couple days. You can come back on Sunday night. Our little fairy is the most filial of all, hm?"

Being in a serious relationship, and getting blessings and well wishes from others, was honestly really great.

Lu Xiaobei kissed her. But who still did nothing to react to the actions of the girl before her, soon lost her her chance to do so.

Lu Xiaobei could never win against this lover of hers.

Xiaoya: "Nope, it's not." But before Lu Xiaobei's smile had completely blossomed, Xiaoya then added, "It's the just the second biggest advantage."

N/A

Lu Xiaobei's lips were soft, almost like jelly. But what it took for Xiaoya wandering soul to return to her bewildered body, was a nip by Lu Xiaobei on her lip that blamed her for not paying attention.

But Xiaoya still protested: "It's not like I don't want to go see my folks, it's just that... this our honeymoon period! Just let me stay here for a month and then I'll go see them the following week, okay? Just this month, I want to spend every single day together, with you."

Lu Xiaobei didn't want them to part either, but getting to know one another ad loving one another was easy, staying together no matter what was hard. They were still very much fledglings in this world, so it was still not a proper time for them to be outed again.

Xiaoya's eyes then fluttered close while she thoroughly enjoyed their kiss. She felt as though the two of them had slipped into their own realm in that moment, one where it was impossible for anyone else to invade.

"That's the biggest advantage of you moving," Lu Xiaobei added with a grumble.

"Xiaoya, I never thought you'd turn out to be gay. Oh, no, I'm not condemning you or anything, I'm just trying to say that I'm honestly shocked. But I wish you all the happiness there is, so yay! And it was probably not easy for you too to get this far, but I truly believe things will get much easier for you guys in the future."

And it was probably not easy for you too to get this far, but I truly believe things will get much easier for you guys in the future."

But later, despite being the one initially opposed to Xiaoya learning, it was Lu Xiaobei who ended up being quite grateful this decision was made.

And when Xiaoya finally shed the last of her haze, the first thing out her mouth was: "Next time, let me do it, okay?"

But Lu Xiaobei replied helplessly, "You're my cute little fairy, so how could I possibly not love you? But you've already spent the past two weekends here without going back to see your folks, and they aren't a few provinces away either, so it's too unreasonable for you to not visit."

Now, they could love each other freely.

Then upon returning to that "restaurant" the congee was placed in a warmer and a plate of cut fruit now appeared next to it and there was even toothpicks stuck in each piece...

So Lu Xiaobei now did her best to coax the girl before her, saying, "Please just be good and stay at your folks for a couple days. You can come back on Sunday night. Our little fairy is the most filial of all, hm?"

"Captain," Xiaoya shouted, "this is not going to work! If you spoil me until I'm useless, if you ever leave me, what am I going to do?"

Their mouths were suffused with that cool minty flavour, and once their lips parted their heads remained pressed together close.

"Thanks you guys, thank you so much." Xiaoya was immensely touched. Because of her mother, she never dared come out to anyone while in high school, and the only one who knew she batted for the other team was Liu Xiangyu, and the only reason he knew was because he guessed it himself.

The morning light radiated through the nearby window, its light causing even the fluff of fine hairs on Lu Xiaobei's skin to be seen. She looked just like a fairy from a movie, completely bathed in an ethereal glow.

The reason for this was during the first term of Xiaoya's second semester at college, Lu Xiaobei gave Xiaoya some startling news.

Now, they would never have to be apart from the other again.

Xiaoya had blinked and blinked to barely pull her mind fully conscious before asking, "What is all this?"

Lu Xiaobei: "I know, but didn't your mom make you come home to get some fruit the other day? When she starts missing you, she will come to the school to drop off stuff herself, and that won't be good."

That was how Xiaoya imagined what it was like to be with someone she loved deeply.

And, to herself, Xiaoya also thought, she would never regret anything. In this life, this world, they would experience it all together, so never in her wildest dreams would she ever want to be let go.

When Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya's lips parted, both lightly gasped to catch theor breath.

But later, despite being the one initially opposed to Xiaoya learning, it was Lu Xiaobei who ended up being quite grateful this decision was made.

Standing at the door with her luggage in hand, Xiaoya accused Lu Xiaobei, saying, "You don't love me, do you?! If you did, why would chase me away?!"

Xiaoya: "I want you to teach me how to cook. I'll be responsible for 'making money to support our family' and you can be responsible for being beautiful."

The morning light radiated through the nearby window, its light causing even the fluff of fine hairs on Lu Xiaobei's skin to be seen. She looked just like a fairy from a movie, completely bathed in an ethereal glow.

In the end, she did not just move out of her dormitory, but she also also changed her address for receiving postcards.

When Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya's lips parted, both lightly gasped to catch theor breath.

Congratulations, Xiaoya! You snagged yourself a beauty. Heeheeheehee... Is that how you say it? Anyhow, looks like it'll just be the three of us staying in this four-person dorm, awesome! Xiaoya, if your mom comes here to see you, or calls the the dorm, we'll cover for you, okay?" After speaking, her roommate even gave her a thumbs up.

And when Xiaoya finally shed the last of her haze, the first thing out her mouth was: "Next time, let me do it, okay?"

"Wow... Our school's most beautiful girl and our department's beauty got together."

Like this, she'd end up having no position in their home!

It tugged a soft chuckle from lips as she responded, "It's... not impossible."

This kiss was unlike the one they had shared that sweet and lingering, it was more intense, seeming to wish to convey every last ounce of her love. Put simply, it was as though she laid her entire heart bare.

Lu Xiaobei's lips were soft, almost like jelly. But what it took for Xiaoya wandering soul to return to her bewildered body, was a nip by Lu Xiaobei on her lip that blamed her for not paying attention.

"Yeah." Xiaoya replied simply, after all, it was the day she had been waiting for for so long.

Cradled within Lu Xiaobei's palms was skin delicate and bright, while in her mind were thoughts of the girl she slowly got to see transform and grow into her own. At these thoughts, her heat swelled with joy and pride she simply could not control. So much so, that once more, she moved to capture Xiaoya's lips with her own.

The morning light radiated through the nearby window, its light causing even the fluff of fine hairs on Lu Xiaobei's skin to be seen. She looked just like a fairy from a movie, completely bathed in an ethereal glow.

Lu Xiaobei: ...

Xiaoya's eyes then fluttered close while she thoroughly enjoyed their kiss. She felt as though the two of them had slipped into their own realm in that moment, one where it was impossible for anyone else to invade.

When she got to the bathroom, the toothpaste was already squeezed on her brush and the wash basin and towel were placed in a prominent position....

Lu Xiaobei: "So what do you want me to do, then?"

This kiss was unlike the one they had shared that sweet and lingering, it was more intense, seeming to wish to convey every last ounce of her love. Put simply, it was as though she laid her entire heart bare.

"Captain," Xiaoya shouted, "this is not going to work! If you spoil me until I'm useless, if you ever leave me, what am I going to do?"

When they parted lips once more, Lu Xiaobei whispered, "After school starts back, lets live together, yeah?" After they had loved each other this dearly, and so inseparably, it was simply impossible for them to stay apart from the other again.

Lu Xiaobei: "Then what's number one?"

"Yeah." Xiaoya replied simply, after all, it was the day she had been waiting for for so long.

And, to herself, Xiaoya also thought, she would never regret anything. In this life, this world, they would experience it all together, so never in her wildest dreams would she ever want to be let go.

When Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya's lips parted, both lightly gasped to catch theor breath.

Like this, she'd end up having no position in their home!

Lu Xiaobei again couldn't resist dropping kisses on Xiaoya's eyes, eyes that sparkled brilliantly like the night sky, and eyes that at that instant, were filled with nothing but her. It was enthralling, it was truly impossible for a person to bear.

"Wow... Our school's most beautiful girl and our department's beauty got together."

Following yet another brief parting, Lu Xiaobei asked her, "Are you hungry? I'll go make you something."

When your eyes are closed, you can feel their breath on your ear.

Their mouths were suffused with that cool minty flavour, and once their lips parted their heads remained pressed together close.

Xiaoya: "Nope, it's not." But before Lu Xiaobei's smile had completely blossomed, Xiaoya then added, "It's the just the second biggest advantage."

Then upon returning to that "restaurant" the congee was placed in a warmer and a plate of cut fruit now appeared next to it and there was even toothpicks stuck in each piece...

When your eyes are opened, you can see their face.

But Xiaoya refused saying, "No way! You went to bed late yesterday."

But Lu Xiaobei replied helplessly, "You're my cute little fairy, so how could I possibly not love you? But you've already spent the past two weekends here without going back to see your folks, and they aren't a few provinces away either, so it's too unreasonable for you to not visit."

"But I want to make you breakfast, especially today," Lu Xiaobei pleaded.

It tugged a soft chuckle from lips as she responded, "It's... not impossible."

In the end, she did not just move out of her dormitory, but she also also changed her address for receiving postcards.

But Xiaoya refused saying, "No way! You went to bed late yesterday."

But Xiaoya rolled herself into her lover's arms and wrapped them both in the blanket before stating, "Today, especially today, I want to sleep wrapped in your arms for a little while longer."

Xiaoya: "Nope, it's not." But before Lu Xiaobei's smile had completely blossomed, Xiaoya then added, "It's the just the second biggest advantage."

Xiaoya: "Finally, I don't have to go to the boys dorm to get my mail, yay!"

Like this, she'd end up having no position in their home!

Lu Xiaobei could never win against this lover of hers.

So Lu Xiaobei now did her best to coax the girl before her, saying, "Please just be good and stay at your folks for a couple days. You can come back on Sunday night. Our little fairy is the most filial of all, hm?"

It tugged a soft chuckle from lips as she responded, "It's... not impossible."

Lu Xiaobei: "I know, but didn't your mom make you come home to get some fruit the other day? When she starts missing you, she will come to the school to drop off stuff herself, and that won't be good."

Spring turned into autumn and Xiaoya experienced some of the happiest days of her college life. In their days living together, Lu Xiaobei proved herself to be versed in every perceivable skill. Pan fried steak, grilled escargot, pickled cabbage, chopped chilli peppers... you name it!

"Ummmm.... I'm thinking," Xiaoya mused, while Lu Xiaobei reached out to try tickling under her arm. "Aren't you going to tell me?"

It is said, in love, the one who falls first is the one who loses, but with the passage of time, and the prolonging of such battles, eventually the time will come where both are evenly matched.

"That's the biggest advantage of you moving," Lu Xiaobei added with a grumble.

After the winter holidays ended, Xiaoya begun her move. She had also come out to the girls in her dorm room, and told them she would be moving in with Lu Xiaobei.

Lu Xiaobei: "There's no need for that, though. Anyhow, we'll always be together so why does it matter."

"Wow... Our school's most beautiful girl and our department's beauty got together."

Being in a serious relationship, and getting blessings and well wishes from others, was honestly really great.

Congratulations, Xiaoya! You snagged yourself a beauty. Heeheeheehee... Is that how you say it? Anyhow, looks like it'll just be the three of us staying in this four-person dorm, awesome!

And it was probably not easy for you too to get this far, but I truly believe things will get much easier for you guys in the future."

Their mouths were suffused with that cool minty flavour, and once their lips parted their heads remained pressed together close.

"Thanks you guys, thank you so much." Xiaoya was immensely touched. Because of her mother, she never dared come out to anyone while in high school, and the only one who knew she batted for the other team was Liu Xiangyu, and the only reason he knew was because he guessed it himself.

And when she woke the next day,the first sight that met her eyes was Lu Xiaobei resting her head on a propped up arm, while a smile like the first blossom of Spring or freshly melted snow was spread lovingly across her face.

But Xiaoya still protested: "It's not like I don't want to go see my folks, it's just that... this our honeymoon period! Just let me stay here for a month and then I'll go see them the following week, okay? Just this month, I want to spend every single day together, with you."

Lu Xiaobei could never win against this lover of hers.

And when she woke the next day,the first sight that met her eyes was Lu Xiaobei resting her head on a propped up arm, while a smile like the first blossom of Spring or freshly melted snow was spread lovingly across her face.

"That's the biggest advantage of you moving," Lu Xiaobei added with a grumble.

In a flash, Xiaoya slipped on her slippers and darted off to the bathroom while yelling, "I'll go wash my face and teeth first."

Xiaoya: "Nope, it's not." But before Lu Xiaobei's smile had completely blossomed, Xiaoya then added, "It's the just the second biggest advantage."

"Yeah." Xiaoya replied simply, after all, it was the day she had been waiting for for so long.

Now, they would never have to be apart from the other again.

Lu Xiaobei: "There's no need for that, though. Anyhow, we'll always be together so why does it matter."

But isn't that what being lovers is like, filling one's stomach but having no nutrition at all?

"Xiaoya, I never thought you'd turn out to be gay. Oh, no, I'm not condemning you or anything, I'm just trying to say that I'm honestly shocked. But I wish you all the happiness there is, so yay! And it was probably not easy for you too to get this far, but I truly believe things will get much easier for you guys in the future."

But Xiaoya jumped away to escape Lu Xiaobei's reach, then the two of them chased each other and frolicked in that room.

Lu Xiaobei kissed her. But who still did nothing to react to the actions of the girl before her, soon lost her her chance to do so.

But three weeks after the school's new semester had begun, Xiaoya was "chased out" by Lu Xiaobei back to her family home.

Lu Xiaobei's lips were soft, almost like jelly. But what it took for Xiaoya wandering soul to return to her bewildered body, was a nip by Lu Xiaobei on her lip that blamed her for not paying attention.

Lu Xiaobei's words from the just gone night then replayed in Xiaoya's ears. "After we take this next step, I won't let you go. Even if you regret it, I will never let you go."

Lu Xiaobei: ...

Now, they would never have to be apart from the other again.

Xiaoya: "Nope, it's not." But before Lu Xiaobei's smile had completely blossomed, Xiaoya then added, "It's the just the second biggest advantage."

When your eyes are opened, you can see their face.

Xiaoya's mouth pouted up so much at her words that it was possibly to hang a teapot from it. "How is it unreasonable? I video chat with them every three days, and they understand I'll be busy with homework and school work during my freshman year."

It is said, in love, the one who falls first is the one who loses, but with the passage of time, and the prolonging of such battles, eventually the time will come where both are evenly matched.

Being in a serious relationship, and getting blessings and well wishes from others, was honestly really great.

Lu Xiaobei: "There's no need for that, though. Anyhow, we'll always be together so why does it matter."

Lu Xiaobei: "I know, but didn't your mom make you come home to get some fruit the other day? When she starts missing you, she will come to the school to drop off stuff herself, and that won't be good."

"Thanks you guys, thank you so much." Xiaoya was immensely touched. Because of her mother, she never dared come out to anyone while in high school, and the only one who knew she batted for the other team was Liu Xiangyu, and the only reason he knew was because he guessed it himself.

A Bit of Daily Life

Lu Xiaobei: "I know, but didn't your mom make you come home to get some fruit the other day? When she starts missing you, she will come to the school to drop off stuff herself, and that won't be good."

The morning light radiated through the nearby window, its light causing even the fluff of fine hairs on Lu Xiaobei's skin to be seen. She looked just like a fairy from a movie, completely bathed in an ethereal glow.

After a lot of coaxing and coaxing, and coaxing some more, Lu Xiaobei finally managed to convince Xiaoya to return home with much struggle.

Xiaoya: "I already told my roommates about us and they said they'd cover for me if she shows up. Besides, I left some bedding and clothes back there for this reason. So, if my mom does pop up, it won't take me long to rush over there from here."

But later, despite being the one initially opposed to Xiaoya learning, it was Lu Xiaobei who ended up being quite grateful this decision was made.

Then upon returning to that "restaurant" the congee was placed in a warmer and a plate of cut fruit now appeared next to it and there was even toothpicks stuck in each piece...

But Xiaoya still protested: "It's not like I don't want to go see my folks, it's just that... this our honeymoon period! Just let me stay here for a month and then I'll go see them the following week, okay? Just this month, I want to spend every single day together, with you."

Lu Xiaobei really didn't know how to explain it, but the only reason Xiaoya's mother hadn't had any doubts over the past couple years, apart from Xiaoya keeping it hidden, was because during those high school years, and now college, Xiaoya did not live right under he mother's watchful eyes. They were also very careful to never run into her mother anywhere outside.

Lu Xiaobei: "So what do you want me to do, then?"

If not, based on her mother's keen senses, if she sets foot within he daughter's dorm room, if Xiaoya or one of her roommates let's something slip, Lu Xiaobei's future with Xiaoya will most certainly not be as peaceful as it was now.

Like this, she'd end up having no position in their home!

Spring turned into autumn and Xiaoya experienced some of the happiest days of her college life. In their days living together, Lu Xiaobei proved herself to be versed in every perceivable skill. Pan fried steak, grilled escargot, pickled cabbage, chopped chilli peppers... you name it!

A Bit of Daily Life

Lu Xiaobei's lips were soft, almost like jelly. But what it took for Xiaoya wandering soul to return to her bewildered body, was a nip by Lu Xiaobei on her lip that blamed her for not paying attention.

Lu Xiaobei could never win against this lover of hers.

Standing at the door with her luggage in hand, Xiaoya accused Lu Xiaobei, saying, "You don't love me, do you?! If you did, why would chase me away?!"

But three weeks after the school's new semester had begun, Xiaoya was "chased out" by Lu Xiaobei back to her family home.

So Lu Xiaobei now did her best to coax the girl before her, saying, "Please just be good and stay at your folks for a couple days. You can come back on Sunday night. Our little fairy is the most filial of all, hm?"

In the end, Xiaoya had learned from Lu Xiaobei how to cook. But, in terms of whether she'd gained the title of "one bringing home the bacon," that was up for debate.

Then upon returning to that "restaurant" the congee was placed in a warmer and a plate of cut fruit now appeared next to it and there was even toothpicks stuck in each piece...

Xiaoya: "I already told my roommates about us and they said they'd cover for me if she shows up. Besides, I left some bedding and clothes back there for this reason. So, if my mom does pop up, it won't take me long to rush over there from here."

Xiaoya... Xiaoya was astounded. She had no idea how she had fallen to this point, when not even her mother treated her like this after she was three.

But Xiaoya still protested: "It's not like I don't want to go see my folks, it's just that... this our honeymoon period! Just let me stay here for a month and then I'll go see them the following week, okay? Just this month, I want to spend every single day together, with you."

But Xiaoya still protested: "It's not like I don't want to go see my folks, it's just that... this our honeymoon period! Just let me stay here for a month and then I'll go see them the following week, okay? Just this month, I want to spend every single day together, with you."

Xiaoya: "Finally, I don't have to go to the boys dorm to get my mail, yay!"

Lu Xiaobei: ...

After all, there had to be a little bit of room for some improvement, no~

Lu Xiaobei: "There's no need for that, though. Anyhow, we'll always be together so why does it matter."

Lu Xiaobei: "There's no need for that, though. Anyhow, we'll always be together so why does it matter."

At that point, Xiaoya was convinced her captain's skill was only second to that of three-star Michelin chefs!

"Yeah." Xiaoya replied simply, after all, it was the day she had been waiting for for so long.

And when Xiaoya finally shed the last of her haze, the first thing out her mouth was: "Next time, let me do it, okay?"

"Yeah." Xiaoya replied simply, after all, it was the day she had been waiting for for so long.

Lu Xiaobei didn't want them to part either, but getting to know one another ad loving one another was easy, staying together no matter what was hard. They were still very much fledglings in this world, so it was still not a proper time for them to be outed again.

Following yet another brief parting, Lu Xiaobei asked her, "Are you hungry? I'll go make you something."

Xiaoya: "I want you to teach me how to cook. I'll be responsible for 'making money to support our family' and you can be responsible for being beautiful." Because if not, and things kept on going like this, in terms of beauty, she couldn't compare to Lu Xiaobei, and going this this road will make her being the one bringing home the bacon impossible!

But Xiaoya refused saying, "No way! You went to bed late yesterday."

Cradled within Lu Xiaobei's palms was skin delicate and bright, while in her mind were thoughts of the girl she slowly got to see transform and grow into her own. At these thoughts, her heat swelled with joy and pride she simply could not control. So much so, that once more, she moved to capture Xiaoya's lips with her own.

And, to herself, Xiaoya also thought, she would never regret anything. In this life, this world, they would experience it all together, so never in her wildest dreams would she ever want to be let go.

After a lot of coaxing and coaxing, and coaxing some more, Lu Xiaobei finally managed to convince Xiaoya to return home with much struggle.

But isn't that what being lovers is like, filling one's stomach but having no nutrition at all?

But, in retaliation to her request, Xiaoya clamped a bite on her neck before leaving in a huff.

When your eyes are opened, you can see their face.

Just over a day, that was how long Xiaoya stayed at her parents before high-tailing back to Lu Xiaobei's place the next Sunday afternoon. To this, well... Lu Xiaobei uttered no complaints because she had also overestimated herself. Despite them being together for over two years, and perhaps due to them spending more time apart than together back then, they were still in their honeymoon phase where for every moment of every day their minds were filled with nothing but the other. What did she eat today? Is she happy? Did she sleep well?...

Especially since they had just started living together and Xiaoya was cared for like she couldn't care for herself on her own. One morning, she had woken up when the sun was long hanging high in the sky, still very much in a daze, bemoaning, "Captain, I don't wanna get out of bed today."

And while her eyes were still cloudy and her vision was blurred, she heard the sound of a cup placed onto the nightstand. When her eyes had fully opened, she saw there was indeed a cup placed there, but that wasn't the only thing because next to it was a bowl of century egg congee.

Cradled within Lu Xiaobei's palms was skin delicate and bright, while in her mind were thoughts of the girl she slowly got to see transform and grow into her own. At these thoughts, her heat swelled with joy and pride she simply could not control. So much so, that once more, she moved to capture Xiaoya's lips with her own.

Lu Xiaobei: ...

Xiaoya... Xiaoya was astounded. She had no idea how she had fallen to this point, when not even her mother treated her like this after she was three.

Xiaoya... Xiaoya was astounded. She had no idea how she had fallen to this point, when not even her mother treated her like this after she was three.

In a flash, Xiaoya slipped on her slippers and darted off to the bathroom while yelling, "I'll go wash my face and teeth first."

"That's the biggest advantage of you moving," Lu Xiaobei added with a grumble.

Lu Xiaobei again couldn't resist dropping kisses on Xiaoya's eyes, eyes that sparkled brilliantly like the night sky, and eyes that at that instant, were filled with nothing but her. It was enthralling, it was truly impossible for a person to bear.

Being in a serious relationship, and getting blessings and well wishes from others, was honestly really great.

"Xiaoya, I never thought you'd turn out to be gay. Oh, no, I'm not condemning you or anything, I'm just trying to say that I'm honestly shocked. But I wish you all the happiness there is, so yay! And it was probably not easy for you too to get this far, but I truly believe things will get much easier for you guys in the future."

"Ummmm.... I'm thinking," Xiaoya mused, while Lu Xiaobei reached out to try tickling under her arm. "Aren't you going to tell me?"

At that point, Xiaoya was convinced her captain's skill was only second to that of three-star Michelin chefs!

If not, based on her mother's keen senses, if she sets foot within he daughter's dorm room, if Xiaoya or one of her roommates let's something slip, Lu Xiaobei's future with Xiaoya will most certainly not be as peaceful as it was now.

After all, there had to be a little bit of room for some improvement, no~

When they parted lips once more, Lu Xiaobei whispered, "After school starts back, lets live together, yeah?" After they had loved each other this dearly, and so inseparably, it was simply impossible for them to stay apart from the other again.

Especially since they had just started living together and Xiaoya was cared for like she couldn't care for herself on her own. One morning, she had woken up when the sun was long hanging high in the sky, still very much in a daze, bemoaning, "Captain, I don't wanna get out of bed today."

Lu Xiaobei walked over to the dining room from the corridor, then, with Xiaoya, exchanged a lingering kiss. The toothpaste they had both used was flavoured with mint, and now due to their joining such a taste would be magnifiedT/n: the original line was 1+1 is more than 2, and I couldn't work than in literally., wouldn't it?

And while her eyes were still cloudy and her vision was blurred, she heard the sound of a cup placed onto the nightstand. When her eyes had fully opened, she saw there was indeed a cup placed there, but that wasn't the only thing because next to it was a bowl of century egg congee.

Just for a moment, Xiaoya was left in a daze. It is said, that beauty lies in the eyes of the lover, and her beloved was in fact a beauty, so what was she supposed to do?

Xiaoya had blinked and blinked to barely pull her mind fully conscious before asking, "What is all this?"

After a lot of coaxing and coaxing, and coaxing some more, Lu Xiaobei finally managed to convince Xiaoya to return home with much struggle.

When she got to the bathroom, the toothpaste was already squeezed on her brush and the wash basin and towel were placed in a prominent position....

But Xiaoya rolled herself into her lover's arms and wrapped them both in the blanket before stating, "Today, especially today, I want to sleep wrapped in your arms for a little while longer."

To which Lu Xiaobei answered, "Rinse out your mouth then eat the congee so that way when you sleep for a bit longer your stomach won't be empty. You can brush your teeth after you get up again, so be good, okay~"

The reason for this was during the first term of Xiaoya's second semester at college, Lu Xiaobei gave Xiaoya some startling news.

Xiaoya... Xiaoya was astounded. She had no idea how she had fallen to this point, when not even her mother treated her like this after she was three.

Standing at the door with her luggage in hand, Xiaoya accused Lu Xiaobei, saying, "You don't love me, do you?! If you did, why would chase me away?!"

Xiaoya... Xiaoya was astounded. She had no idea how she had fallen to this point, when not even her mother treated her like this after she was three.

When Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya's lips parted, both lightly gasped to catch theor breath.

When she got to the bathroom, the toothpaste was already squeezed on her brush and the wash basin and towel were placed in a prominent position....

But three weeks after the school's new semester had begun, Xiaoya was "chased out" by Lu Xiaobei back to her family home.

Then upon returning to that "restaurant" the congee was placed in a warmer and a plate of cut fruit now appeared next to it and there was even toothpicks stuck in each piece...

Xiaoya's eyes then fluttered close while she thoroughly enjoyed their kiss. She felt as though the two of them had slipped into their own realm in that moment, one where it was impossible for anyone else to invade.

"That's the biggest advantage of you moving," Lu Xiaobei added with a grumble.

But Xiaoya rolled herself into her lover's arms and wrapped them both in the blanket before stating, "Today, especially today, I want to sleep wrapped in your arms for a little while longer."

But Xiaoya rolled herself into her lover's arms and wrapped them both in the blanket before stating, "Today, especially today, I want to sleep wrapped in your arms for a little while longer."

After the winter holidays ended, Xiaoya begun her move. She had also come out to the girls in her dorm room, and told them she would be moving in with Lu Xiaobei.

Lu Xiaobei really didn't know how to explain it, but the only reason Xiaoya's mother hadn't had any doubts over the past couple years, apart from Xiaoya keeping it hidden, was because during those high school years, and now college, Xiaoya did not live right under he mother's watchful eyes.

"Captain," Xiaoya shouted, "this is not going to work! If you spoil me until I'm useless, if you ever leave me, what am I going to do?"

Lu Xiaobei: "I know, but didn't your mom make you come home to get some fruit the other day? When she starts missing you, she will come to the school to drop off stuff herself, and that won't be good."

Just for a moment, Xiaoya was left in a daze. It is said, that beauty lies in the eyes of the lover, and her beloved was in fact a beauty, so what was she supposed to do?

Their mouths were suffused with that cool minty flavour, and once their lips parted their heads remained pressed together close.

A Bit of Daily Life

In a flash, Xiaoya slipped on her slippers and darted off to the bathroom while yelling, "I'll go wash my face and teeth first."

Congratulations, Xiaoya! You snagged yourself a beauty. Heeheeheehee... Is that how you say it? Anyhow, looks like it'll just be the three of us staying in this four-person dorm, awesome! Xiaoya, if your mom comes here to see you, or calls the the dorm, we'll cover for you, okay?" After speaking, her roommate even gave her a thumbs up.

"Captain," Xiaoya shouted, "this is not going to work! If you spoil me until I'm useless, if you ever leave me, what am I going to do?"

Lu Xiaobei walked over to the dining room from the corridor, then, with Xiaoya, exchanged a lingering kiss.

But Xiaoya refused saying, "No way! You went to bed late yesterday."

Lu Xiaobei: "So what do you want me to do, then?"

"But I want to make you breakfast, especially today," Lu Xiaobei pleaded.

When your eyes are closed, you can feel their breath on your ear.

Lu Xiaobei: "There's no need for that, though. Anyhow, we'll always be together so why does it matter."

Their mouths were suffused with that cool minty flavour, and once their lips parted their heads remained pressed together close.

"Ummmm.... I'm thinking," Xiaoya mused, while Lu Xiaobei reached out to try tickling under her arm. "Aren't you going to tell me?"

But Lu Xiaobei replied helplessly, "You're my cute little fairy, so how could I possibly not love you? But you've already spent the past two weekends here without going back to see your folks, and they aren't a few provinces away either, so it's too unreasonable for you to not visit."

Being in a serious relationship, and getting blessings and well wishes from others, was honestly really great.

In the end, Xiaoya had learned from Lu Xiaobei how to cook. But, in terms of whether she'd gained the title of "one bringing home the bacon," that was up for debate.

A Bit of Daily Life

Lu Xiaobei: "So what do you want me to do, then?"

Lu Xiaobei kissed her. But who still did nothing to react to the actions of the girl before her, soon lost her her chance to do so.

The reason for this was during the first term of Xiaoya's second semester at college, Lu Xiaobei gave Xiaoya some startling news.

Xiaoya's mouth pouted up so much at her words that it was possibly to hang a teapot from it. "How is it unreasonable? I video chat with them every three days, and they understand I'll be busy with homework and school work during my freshman year."

"Yeah." Xiaoya replied simply, after all, it was the day she had been waiting for for so long.

Lu Xiaobei walked over to the dining room from the corridor, then, with Xiaoya, exchanged a lingering kiss. The toothpaste they had both used was flavoured with mint, and now due to their joining such a taste would be magnifiedT/n: the original line was 1+1 is more than 2, and I couldn't work than in literally., wouldn't it?

"What???!!! Your internship is in Shanghai???" Xiaoya yelled frantically, "Why the heck isn't it in Nancheng???"

After the winter holidays ended, Xiaoya begun her move. She had also come out to the girls in her dorm room, and told them she would be moving in with Lu Xiaobei.

And while her eyes were still cloudy and her vision was blurred, she heard the sound of a cup placed onto the nightstand. When her eyes had fully opened, she saw there was indeed a cup placed there, but that wasn't the only thing because next to it was a bowl of century egg congee.

Then upon returning to that "restaurant" the congee was placed in a warmer and a plate of cut fruit now appeared next to it and there was even toothpicks stuck in each piece...

"Wow... Our school's most beautiful girl and our department's beauty got together."

Xiaoya's eyes then fluttered close while she thoroughly enjoyed their kiss. She felt as though the two of them had slipped into their own realm in that moment, one where it was impossible for anyone else to invade.
