Gu Yuqi’s hair brushed against Liang Sheng’s body. It tickled, and she wanted to push her away, but her hands were bound and raised above her head.
Was this their first time, and they were already going all out?
Gu Yuqi paused her movements. Her fingertip trailed over the green-haired girl’s soft skin. “Since you started this, little junior sister, what comes next is entirely up to me~”
It felt cool and chilly.
So Senior Sister was into this kind of play! She really had a taste for it.
Liang Sheng felt both thrilled and deeply embarrassed.
“You look so adorable like this~” Gu Yuqi murmured, rubbing the green-haired girl’s cheek with the pad of her finger.
Liang Sheng’s breathing grew heavier.
“Senior Sister…”
For a moment, she actually started looking forward to it—eager for Gu Yuqi’s next move, for whatever changes it would bring to her own body.
“Oh?” Gu Yuqi gave a soft smile. “You seem awfully eager~”
“No! I’m not!” Liang Sheng denied it immediately.
Gu Yuqi laughed and decided not to tease her cute little junior sister any further.
Time to get down to business.
What was that sound? So soft and enchanting?
Probably just a nightingale singing outside the window.
They lost themselves in the moment, heads down and fully immersed. Young people had such incredible stamina. It wasn’t until over an hour later that Liang Sheng’s arms were finally lowered. By then, her wrists were red from the bindings.
Exhausted, Liang Sheng leaned into Gu Yuqi’s embrace. She really wanted to give her a thumbs-up.
Damn, Senior Sister, you’re something else.
What stamina.
—— —— ——
This was Liang Sheng’s first long vacation since starting university, and something truly monumental was about to happen during it—
Gu Yuqi had brought her home.
Liang Sheng was terribly nervous. She knew Gu Yuqi’s father was a very rigid man, while her mother was kinder but still somewhat intimidated by her husband.
Knock knock knock.
Gu Yuqi’s knocking seemed to echo right in Liang Sheng’s heart. Her pulse raced in her chest and temples, her whole body thrumming with anxiety.
“No need to be so tense,” Gu Yuqi reassured the green-haired girl.
But Liang Sheng could tell that Gu Yuqi was nervous too.
Their family’s maid opened the door.
Gu Yuqi led Liang Sheng inside.
Her father was sitting in the living room.
“Dad, Mom,” Gu Yuqi said, suddenly calm and composed.
Liang Sheng, on the other hand, was a bundle of nerves, fidgeting awkwardly. “U-Uncle, hello! Auntie, hello!”
Gu Yuqi’s mother gave them a gentle smile and a nod. But her gaze lingered on their joined hands, and in an instant, realization dawned. Her smile froze on her face.
Gu Yuqi’s father nodded as well. “Back home? Brought a friend to visit?”
Gu Yuqi lifted the hand clasped with Liang Sheng’s, her gaze unwavering. “Dad, Mom—this is my girlfriend.”
“Ahem—cough cough!” Gu Yuqi’s mother choked on her tea, shooting a worried glance at her husband.
The man’s body stiffened abruptly. “You…”
“Dad, this is my girlfriend. I love her,” Gu Yuqi said, her tone as firm as ever.
Her voice didn’t waver. “We’ve been together for over a year now. She’s wonderful and incredibly capable. Being with her is good for both of us—whether it’s for the company down the line or our family life.” Gu Yuqi knew her father valued business interests above all.
Clearly, her words had some effect.
But not much.
Gu Yuqi’s father never wore his emotions openly, so even in anger, he didn’t look all that intimidating.
“Gu Yuqi, do you even realize what you’re saying? Homosexuality—this society won’t…”
“Dad!” It was the first time Gu Yuqi had ever interrupted him. “This isn’t your era anymore. People our age won’t bat an eye at our relationship. You can rest easy!”
Her father opened his mouth, ready with a rebuttal.
“Dad, here are this year’s company figures. Half of them are thanks to Liang Sheng.” Gu Yuqi opened her laptop and placed it in front of him.
Liang Sheng felt both ashamed and touched.
Truth be told, she hadn’t helped with anything. She knew nothing about running a company and hadn’t even started learning.
The man took the laptop, hesitating for a second before his eyes widened in shock. This was…
Gu Yuqi’s father fell silent.
After a long pause.
“I’ll need to think about it some more.”
Liang Sheng let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding.
She knew this was the biggest concession he could make right now. Full acceptance was only a matter of time.
Gu Yuqi smiled. “Thank you, Dad.”
As they stepped out of the house, Liang Sheng went limp with relief, clinging to her senior sister to keep from collapsing to the ground.
“Wahhh, you scared me to death, Senior Sister! I thought I was done for right there!”
Gu Yuqi patted the green-haired girl’s back. “Relax—I’ve got you.”
Ah, Senior Sister really was such a warm, reassuring presence.
Still, Liang Sheng felt a bit downcast. “I haven’t actually helped you with any company stuff at all. This time, you even credited me with your achievements. I’m so useless…”
Before she could finish, Gu Yuqi covered her mouth.
“What are you talking about? Just being by my side is the greatest help you could give me.”
Those words hit harder than any vague promise or sweet nothing in the world.
“S-Senior Sister…!”
Gazing at that gentle smile, those curved brows, and the strong yet soft hand around her waist, Liang Sheng nearly burst into tears.
“I want to cuddle up with my one and only gentle Senior Sister like this forever!”
“Mm.”
“Then let’s stay together forever!”
Those same words echoed later, when Gu Yuqi—holding a bouquet of platycodon flowers, dressed in a white suit, and down on one knee before Liang Sheng—proposed.
Platycodon flowers symbolized undying love, eternal devotion.
“I know I’m a woman too, but I can still give you a grand wedding, a marriage certificate, and a romantic honeymoon.” Gu Yuqi gazed lovingly at the girl she’d cherished for seven years.
Yes, they had graduated from university by then.
Liang Sheng covered her mouth, unable to hide her joy and emotion.
She accepted the flowers.
“So, Junior Sister Liang Sheng—will you marry me?” Gu Yuqi pulled a ring from her pocket.
It sparkled brightly.
Just like Senior Sister’s eyes—radiant and tender.
But Liang Sheng shook her head.
Gu Yuqi blinked in surprise.
Grinning, Liang Sheng dropped to one knee as well. “More than marrying you, I want to marry you myself.”
Gu Yuqi let out a laugh of pure bliss. As always, she reached out and gently stroked the green-haired girl’s head. “It’s all the same, you fool.”
She slipped the ring onto Liang Sheng’s finger.
“It’s not the same. I want Senior Sister to feel like a little girl with me too—one I can pamper and spoil.” Talk about the green-haired girl taking charge for once.
Liang Sheng pouted playfully. “You should’ve told me sooner, Senior Sister. I could’ve bought you a ring too!”
“Where’s the surprise in that?”
“No worries—we’ll go buy one after work!”
The two shared a smile.
Applause erupted around them.
Gu Yuqi had proposed at her company’s big gathering. Her subordinates and employees were all witnesses.
Every one of them offered their blessings without exception.
—— —— ——
Two years later, Gu Yuqi fulfilled her promise.
Dressed in a black wedding gown, she took the hand of Liang Sheng, who wore white.
Who said black couldn’t pair with white?
“Miss Gu Yuqi, before you stands the elegant, graceful, and gentle Miss Liang Sheng,” the host announced into the microphone.
Hearing those words, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but want to giggle. She fought hard to keep a straight face, not wanting to embarrass herself at such an important moment.
“Please take her hand, look into her eyes, and say from the heart: ‘Let’s walk together.’ Are you willing to hold her hand for life?”
Gu Yuqi glanced at Liang Sheng’s barely suppressed grin and nearly cracked up herself. It took her a moment to compose her expression.
“I do.”
“And you, Miss Liang Sheng?”
“I do.”
They exchanged rings and sealed it with a kiss, surrounded by witnesses.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
