Liang Sheng was furious inside at Dong Yue’s earlier hesitation. Unfortunately, this woman was the type who softened up with a little coaxing, and Liang Sheng couldn’t bear to leave her teacher feeling neglected. So the moment Dong Yue placed her hand on Liang Sheng’s, she deflated like a balloon.
“Of course it is,” she said, though still a bit sulky. Liang Sheng turned her head toward the car window, refusing to look at her teacher.
It seemed the girl was upset.
Dong Yue pressed her lips together, weighing her options before mustering her courage and leaning closer to Liang Sheng.
“Why does my neck feel itchy?” Liang Sheng glanced back slightly, only to find a strand of Dong Yue’s hair draped across her skin.
Before she could react, a soft kiss landed on her cheek.
“Huh?”
This was their first kiss, and surprisingly, it was initiated by the somewhat straitlaced Dong Yue.
Teacher Dong Yue shyly tried to pull back, but Liang Sheng grabbed her, turning it into a passionate clash of lips and tongues.
Liang Sheng was amazing.
To a total newbie like Dong Yue, of course Liang Sheng was amazing. After all, she’d been forcefully kissed several times before and had picked up some experience along the way.
Gasping for breath, Liang Sheng released Dong Yue and tugged at her collar, her words laced with suggestion. “Teacher Dong Yue… tonight… can I come to your place?”
Was the pace… this fast? But Dong Yue, already swept away by love, couldn’t think straight anymore. Her hands gripped the steering wheel as she slammed her foot on the accelerator, speeding straight toward home.
“Right here is fine. I can’t wait.” Liang Sheng pulled Dong Yue over, wrapped an arm around her waist, and offered a deep, loving kiss.
As the car window rolled down, the vehicle began to rock rhythmically up and down, the motions echoing through the quiet garage.
This was Dong Yue’s first time experiencing such bliss. She felt like she was floating on air, on the verge of soaring into the sky.
Liang Sheng… was truly incredible.
Liang Sheng was the perfect versatile partner—a superb receiver when playing the receptive role, and an equally superb giver when taking charge.
“I didn’t want to be the mommy type, but she’s just too good.”
And so, another proper young lady fell from grace.
Dong Yue had a falling out with her family.
Naturally, such a rigid household opposed her being with another girl like Liang Sheng.
“No way!”
The old lady trembled with rage, her face jiggling.
Dong Yue, who was usually timid and compliant, kept her head down and said nothing, looking like a defenseless lamb.
“Break up with her right now! Don’t shame the Dong Family!” The old lady pounded the table repeatedly.
Dong Yue took a deep breath.
“I’ve… already done… everything with her that we should have.”
The room fell silent in an instant.
“What did you say?” The old lady nearly choked on her own breath.
Still avoiding her grandmother’s eyes, Dong Yue kept her head down and continued. “We’ve done what we shouldn’t have, and what we should have too. So, I can’t break up with her.”
“You, you, you!” The old lady’s finger shook violently as she pointed at Dong Yue, as if she were perched on a vibrating massage chair. “You’re a grown woman! Even if you have no shame, how could you not have any self-respect!”
Dong Yue wanted to argue back.
“No, today you must break up with her, or else…” The old lady glared fiercely, jabbing her cane toward Dong Yue. “Don’t even think about leaving this house!”
From her hiding spot outside the door, Liang Sheng silently straightened up and turned away, walking toward the exit without a word. Her icy demeanor and resolute figure made her determination clear.
“Fine, fine, fine! You’re something else!” The old lady lost her composure entirely. “If you dare step out that door, you’re no longer part of the Dong Family. You’ll never set foot in this house again for the rest of your life!”
Liang Sheng froze mid-step, her hand on the doorknob, hesitating to turn it.
The Dong Family members held their breath, convinced Dong Yue had been scared into submission and would back down.
But the next second—
Click.
The doorknob turned, and Dong Yue slowly pulled the door open.
She cast one final glance back at the oppressive home that had weighed her down for so long.
Lifting her head, Dong Yue’s eyes brimmed with relief.
Farewell to this rigid, suffocating “home.”
She soon returned to her own place.
Her real home, where a cute little friend was waiting for her.
Dong Yue hadn’t told Liang Sheng about the confrontation beforehand. First, she didn’t want the green-haired girl to worry. Second, as an adult, she felt she needed to handle her own problems.
Though her heart felt empty, Dong Yue also experienced an unprecedented sense of freedom.
She had broken free from her cage and become a bird soaring unbound.
Back home, she found Liang Sheng sitting curled up pitifully, hugging her knees after waiting half the day.
“Sister Dong Yue, you’re back?”
Liang Sheng sounded anxious.
“Yeah, I’m back.” Dong Yue stroked the green-haired girl’s head.
“Where did you go?”
After a moment’s thought, Dong Yue decided to come clean.
“I went back to my family home… I…” She recounted the entire ordeal to Liang Sheng, start to finish.
Liang Sheng listened, her worry mingled with a touch of anger.
“You didn’t tell me again! You went off to handle something like that alone!”
Dong Yue felt guilty. “I thought… something like this was better faced on my own.”
“No!” Liang Sheng shot back. “I’m by your side every moment. We’re a couple.”
Dong Yue took her hand. “You were at school then. I didn’t want you to worry and affect your studies…”
Liang Sheng sighed. “Teacher, you still see me as that little high school kid. I’m in university now. I’m an adult. I can help you deal with your problems.”
It felt wonderful.
This was truly understanding the joy her loved one could bring.
In that instant, a tear rolled from Dong Yue’s eye.
“Huh? Huh? Sister?” Liang Sheng forgot her anger in a panic, flustered. She thought her words had been too harsh.
Dong Yue wiped the tear from her eye and suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace. “I love you, Liang Sheng.”
Stunned for a moment, Liang Sheng’s lips curved into a smile as she hugged Dong Yue back. “I love you too.”
“Actually, my parents already knew about us and gave their blessing. I just never told you because I was afraid it’d put pressure on you, or make things hard when you talked to your family.” Liang Sheng gently patted Dong Yue’s back.
Dong Yue smiled through her tears. “It’s okay now. We can be together forever, without a care in the world.”
