Panda Cub, So Cute and Fierce 40

Chapter 40: Confidence

=====================

He Jingsu’s public declaration of her relationship met with no obstacles, but she didn’t receive any open blessings either.

After all, they were people with principles. How could they openly support puppy love?

But after confirming her relationship with Bei Queting, He Jingsu was the one who got into the swing of things the fastest. Although it seemed that their lifestyle hadn’t changed much, her occasional actions made Bei Queting blush.

“Daidai! You can’t sleep naked!” Bei Queting saw that she was about to take off her pajamas and quickly stopped her.

“Huh?” He Jingsu looked at her, bewildered. “We’re dating now, and we still can’t sleep naked? Mommy clearly said we could.”

As she spoke, she even felt wronged, wondering if Beibei had really agreed to date her.

After all, when she had talked to her before, she hadn’t said anything about not sleeping naked.

Bei Queting helped her pull her clothes back on, her cheeks red. “We’re still young. We can’t sleep naked yet.”

He Jingsu pouted. “Then when can we?”

Mommy clearly hadn’t mentioned any age requirement.

Bei Queting’s throat bobbed. Looking at He Jingsu’s disappointed expression, she finally said, a little dryly, “At least, at least we have to wait until we’re 18.”

He Jingsu tilted her head. They would be 17 soon. There was still over a year to go. That was a long time.

Bei Queting reached out and covered her eyes, coaxing, “Let’s sleep. We still have to go to Grandaunt’s tomorrow.”

“…Okay,” she said, her tone still a little reluctant, but she was obedient.

The next day, this time He Jingsu didn’t laze in bed and let Bei Queting help her stretch. She transformed into her human form, gave Bei Queting a kiss on the cheek, and said with a smile, “Morning, Beibei!”

It was a rare burst of energy so early in the morning.

Bei Queting, who had been suddenly ambushed, opened her eyes and saw her happy smile. After a moment of silence, she gave her a beautiful smile. “Morning, Daidai.”

However, after hearing her greeting, He Jingsu didn’t get off Bei Queting. Instead, she looked at her with an expectant expression.

Bei Queting was confused. “???”

For a moment, she couldn’t figure out what He Jingsu was trying to do.

Seeing that she was not making a move, He Jingsu began to get anxious. She gently poked Bei Queting’s cheek with her fingertip, the same spot she had just kissed, and reminded her, “I just gave you a morning kiss!”

Bei Queting was speechless. So she had been waiting for her to kiss her?

Looking at her soft little face, Bei Queting’s heart tightened for a moment. It was as if only at this moment did she truly feel the change in their relationship.

It was really changing in the direction of lovers.

She lowered her gaze, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. In the end, she also gave He Jingsu a kiss on the cheek, but it wasn’t as bold as He Jingsu’s, which could be heard.

He Jingsu, who had been kissed, smiled even more happily. She got up and pulled Bei Queting to wash up together. When it was time to change clothes, she still wanted the two of them to change together. In the end, it ended with Bei Queting being unable to take it and taking her clothes into the bathroom.

Daidai is adapting to this change in relationship a little too well!

Seeing Bei Queting go into the bathroom, He Jingsu pouted. Although she didn’t understand why she was still unwilling to be in the same space as her, she still quickly changed her clothes and then waited for Bei Queting to come out and go downstairs for breakfast together.

During breakfast, He Ying looked at the two little cubs across from her. Bei Queting was so stared at that she felt uneasy, but He Jingsu didn’t feel anything was wrong at all.

He Ying finally sighed softly. She couldn’t do anything about her own little cub, who seemed to have come to a realization but also seemed not to have.

After breakfast, just as He Jingsu was about to pull Bei Queting to the coffee shop, He Ying stopped them.

“Wait a minute. Daidai, come with me to the study.”

He Jingsu blinked, not quite understanding why she was being called to the study. She turned to look at Bei Queting, and just as she was about to speak, He Ying interrupted, “Little Ting, stay downstairs.”

Bei Queting pressed her lips together and, in the end, obediently stayed downstairs. Although she was still a little worried about what He Ying would say, she believed that He Ying was not trying to obstruct them.

If she had wanted to, she wouldn’t have allowed her feelings to continue when she first found out she liked Daidai.

“Don’t worry. Want some?” Jing Dan asked, holding a peeled orange.

Bei Queting looked at her and shook her head. “No, thank you, Aunt Jing.”

Seeing that she didn’t want any, Jing Dan ate it herself, muttering under her breath, “How come this little cub has so many things I don’t have?!”

It was a little infuriating. She had small wings that she didn’t have, and now she was even having puppy love! She had never had puppy love before!

Hearing her words, Bei Queting was silent for a moment, then she suddenly wanted to laugh.

So there was also competition between mother and daughter?

Upstairs, however, it was a different situation.

He Ying asked, “You’re with Little Ting now?”

He Jingsu nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling. “Mhm, mhm!”

He Ying was speechless. This little cub didn’t have any fear of being caught by her parents for having puppy love!

“In that case, I have to tell you some things beforehand, so you don’t go out and embarrass me,” He Ying said calmly.

Hearing her words, He Jingsu said, unconvinced, “I haven’t embarrassed you!”

Her little eyebrows furrowed, and she looked very unconvinced.

He Ying chuckled softly and didn’t argue with her. This little cub probably didn’t even know what kind of behavior would embarrass her. With her dazedness, no one would believe she was her daughter if she went out.

“Since you’re with Little Ting, you have to be serious, you know? You can’t be a heartbreaker who plays with feelings!”

“I’m not a heartbreaker!” He Jingsu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He Ying huffed softly. Not a heartbreaker? Before they had even confirmed their relationship, she had been sleeping with Bei Queting for how many years?!

“Let me tell you, even if you’re dating, there are still some things you can’t do.” He Ying’s expression became serious. “I won’t care about kissing and hugging, but one thing is very important. You can’t cross the bottom line at such a young age. You can’t sleep with Little Ting, you know!”

After hearing this, He Jingsu almost cried. Her little face was full of grievance. “Why? Isn’t dating the most intimate? Why could I sleep with Beibei before we were dating, but not after?”

This was too unfair!

He Ying was speechless and began to reflect on herself. Why was she talking to her in such an adult way? She didn’t understand these things at all!

She recalled what Jing Dan had said before, adjusted her words, and said, “Normal sleeping, like how you used to sleep, is still okay.”

“The sleeping I’m talking about is that you can’t sleep naked. You’re still too young. Some things can’t be done so early.”

Hearing her mother’s words, He Jingsu finally didn’t want to cry so much. She sniffled and said, “Beibei has already told me! She said not to sleep naked!”

Hearing He Jingsu say this, He Ying was instantly relieved. It seemed that between the two of them, there was still one who was sensible.

“Alright then. You can go find Beibei. There’s nothing more to say,” He Ying waved her hand. With Bei Queting around, at least Daidai wouldn’t be able to turn the world upside down.

“Beibei is what I call her!” He Jingsu corrected her very seriously.

He Ying was speechless. “…Fine, I know. I won’t do it again in the future.”

Only then did He Jingsu happily go downstairs to find Beibei.

Recalling her earlier appearance, He Ying was both amused and annoyed. Not old, but very possessive.

After He Jingsu went downstairs, she took Bei Queting’s hand, waved goodbye to Jing Dan, and quickly disappeared from the house.

Jing Dan finished the last slice of orange in her hand, a little bewildered at how quickly He Ying had spoken. Was Daidai that smart, to understand with just a little hint?

On the other side, He Jingsu, who was pulling Bei Queting away, was very happy. The smile on her face never faded.

“Daidai, what did Aunt He say to you?” Bei Queting asked a little cautiously.

“Mom told me not to sleep naked with you! But you’ve already told me that. After I told Mom, she didn’t say anything more and just let me come out to find you!” He Jingsu said truthfully.

Bei Queting was speechless. Her face grew even redder.

She looked at He Jingsu’s happy expression and began to wonder if she should take it seriously.

Did she really want to date Daidai? She was really afraid that one day, Daidai would tell her that the reason she had dated her was just because she didn’t understand that kind of feeling.

“Beibei! If we also tell our classmates that we’re dating, will no one try to snatch you away anymore?” He Jingsu suddenly asked very seriously.

Bei Queting’s expression paused for a moment. She looked at He Jingsu’s serious expression and suddenly began to doubt. Was she really completely clueless? What she was doing was almost cutting off all her escape routes.

“Daidai, you don’t regret it?” Bei Queting asked softly. To do so much now, to give her so many surprises, would make her hold on to her tightly in the future.

“Why would I regret it?” He Jingsu looked at her, very puzzled.

Bei Queting’s lips moved. In the end, she let out a slow, relieved smile and shook her head. “Nothing. We can tell our classmates that we’re dating.”

Bei Queting suddenly discovered that although she was the one who had liked Daidai first, the one who had coveted her first, in the end, she was not as brave as her.

Since Daidai had been so brave, why did she have to speculate so much and live so cautiously?

She was no longer the lonely little bird in the clan who had to be careful to survive. From the moment she was brought back by Daidai, she had already had the confidence to be willful.

“Mhm, mhm!” He Jingsu was happy again.

When the two of them arrived at the coffee shop, the door was already open. When they went in, they could see a tall girl busy up and down, like a diligent little bee, and a very happy one at that.

Bei Queting was not surprised to see Hai Yuesheng in the coffee shop. After all, it was a holiday today, and Hai Yuesheng finally had time to come over. But she hadn’t expected her to come over so early in the morning.

He Jingsu saw Hai Yuesheng and decided to let this classmate be the first to witness her and Beibei’s relationship!

“Senior!” He Jingsu took Bei Queting’s hand, walked up to Hai Yuesheng, and held up their intertwined hands, saying very seriously, “Senior, Beibei and I are together!”

Hai Yuesheng was stunned for a moment, as if she had misheard. Her gaze slowly moved from He Jingsu’s face to Bei Queting’s, then to their intertwined hands.

“…”

Unfair! Too unfair! How could you allow the magistrate to set fires but not allow the common people to light lamps!

“Really?” Hai Yuesheng asked.

He Jingsu nodded vigorously!

Hai Yuesheng looked at Bei Queting, and Bei Queting nodded slightly.

Hai Yuesheng took a deep breath, her face flushed red, and she said, aggrieved, “What about no puppy love!”

She and Qiu Si hadn’t even gotten a result yet, and the one who had been obstructing them had gotten into a relationship first! Was there any justice in this world! You couldn’t be so arrogant just because you were a national treasure!

Bei Queting turned her head and pressed her lips together to smile. She had guessed that Hai Yuesheng would have this reaction after she found out.

“The book said, this time is different from that time,” He Jingsu said very seriously.

Hai Yuesheng was speechless.

She widened her eyes and looked at He Jingsu, the flames in her eyes almost erupting.

He Jingsu looked at her innocently.

Hai Yuesheng took a deep breath and silently recited in her heart: This is family, this is family. I absolutely cannot offend family.

“Hmph!” Hai Yuesheng snorted coldly, turned her head, her ponytail almost hitting He Jingsu’s face, and went to find Qiu Si.

“Si Si~ I like you, you know~”

Hai Yuesheng’s cloyingly sweet voice came from the coffee shop.

Bei Yuan looked up, bewildered, her worldview shattered.

If Si Si was snatched away in her shop, would Jing Shiyue beat her up!
