Chapter 139: It’s My Honor

Lin Ruocheng leaned against the wall, her body trembling lightly the whole time.

Her chin tilted slightly upward.

Tears couldn’t help but fall.

The sounds spilling from her mouth were very ambiguous.

They sounded like encouragement, or perhaps pleasure.

When she couldn’t take it anymore, her entire body went completely limp.

She had originally wanted to collapse to the ground.

But Fu Yanxi timely scooped her up into her arms.

“Alright, let’s go take a bath.”

Lin Ruocheng could only manage some humming and panting breaths.

Her throat felt like it was ruined.

Fu Yanxi placed her in the bathtub. Her originally fair skin was now covered in patches of red plum blossoms.

Her skin had always been very sensitive.

The more private areas could be covered with clothes.

The rest would have to rely on foundation and concealer.

Lin Ruocheng was a bit sleepy, her eyes half-closed the whole time.

Fu Yanxi had a serious expression as she helped clean the stains from her body. Seeing her girlfriend smiling radiantly at her, she scooped up some bubbles from the water with her finger and dotted them on her nose tip.

“Little rascal, what are you looking at? Plotting some naughty idea again?”

“No naughty ideas here.”

Lin Ruocheng didn’t have much strength left in her body.

She just kept smiling at Fu Yanxi.

“Call me big sister.”

My good big sis~~

Lin Ruocheng wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her head closer, wanting to kiss her.

But just as their lips were about to meet, she veered away and retreated.

Teasing her again.

But Fu Yanxi didn’t let her succeed. She pinched her chin and kissed her forcefully.

Lin Ruocheng was kissed until she could barely breathe.

She had no choice but to push at her.

“Want more?”

“No more, good sister, really no more. If we go again, I’ll break.”

Lin Ruocheng quickly clasped her hands together in plea for mercy.

Her stamina wasn’t that great.

Yet Fu Yanxi didn’t seem fatigued at all. She looked like she could go for several more hours.

Wasn’t she on her period?

How did she still have so much energy? It was completely unfair.

Was this the result of her regular gym workouts?

“You should know better. Be good and don’t tempt me.”

Fu Yanxi continued cleaning her, and Lin Ruocheng obediently didn’t dare move around.

She was afraid of being punished on the spot—tomorrow she’d probably have to spend the whole day in bed.

After cleaning up thoroughly.

Fu Yanxi carried her out again.

She took the hairdryer and carefully blow-dried her girlfriend’s hair, tending to her meticulously.

“I suddenly remembered something.”

“What is it?”

“Have you ever taken care of anyone else before?”

“No, you’re the first.”

It had always been her wish to take care of her, to be together with her.

So even when she knew about Yu Qiuli’s plan.

She hadn’t stopped it, but went along with it instead.

What if? What if she could have the sun?

She never imagined it would go so smoothly. She’d thought it would take at least five or six years of scheming.

Seven years of secret love, and she had assumed the other party was unaware—it was one-sided.

Crushes don’t always lead to being with the girl you like. Who knew that when Lin Ruocheng agreed to date her that day, she felt happier than landing a major project.

So, Lin Ruocheng was the first, and would be the last.

When she was little, most of her time had been surrounded by a girl named Lin Ruocheng.

In the future, the only one by her side would be her.

If it wasn’t her, she wouldn’t date anyone.

She had considered it: if Lin Ruocheng still didn’t like her.

She would sincerely bless her and another girl, with no plans to marry or have children.

She’d watch silently from behind, keeping this secret love hidden in her heart.

“What good did I do to deserve the most authoritative CV from Baiguang blow-drying my hair? To have her as my skirt-wearing servant?”

“You deserve it. It’s my honor.”

…

“Sis, what are we eating for lunch?”

Lin Shuyi rubbed her fists eagerly. It had been so long since she’d gone out for something delicious.

She was probably about to enter her junior year soon, and their outdoor activities were increasing.

Mainly, professors recreated crime scenes for them to judge and analyze.

There were few girls studying criminal investigation and detection.

Most were tall, burly guys, but even so.

She still pushed hard—first in professionalism, crushing them all.

Dating? Not even dogs did that.

Long-distance runs, sprints, scores…

No one could even see her butt, and second place was still far behind.

She aimed to crush everyone!!

Daily heaps of case studies and footprint analyses.

Her brain cells felt severely depleted.

At times like this, some good food could alleviate it a bit.

Back when she chose this major, it was purely because she was addicted to Conan.

As a kid, she’d rewatch all the episodes, scrutinizing them closely. She loved “There’s only one truth”—so cool. From then on, she decided she’d go to police academy.

But once she actually entered school, she realized it wasn’t as cool as she’d imagined.

They reeked of sweat.

Every day was throwing herself into all sorts of classes, plus live-fire shooting and such…

It was even more exhausting than being a monkey.

“What do you want to eat?”

Lin Ruocheng yawned. She had planned to sleep in her dorm bed today.

Song Wanqing was going out on a date with Yu Qiuli.

And had said in advance she wouldn’t be back overnight.

She herself had already cleaned up and was ready to sleep.

But before she could doze off, her little sister dragged her out.

She said she’d treat and had a big secret.

That was the only reason she came out.

Otherwise, she’d have punished her on the spot.

“Haven’t decided. Five hundred meters to the right there’s a snack street, then a new restaurant with good tomahawk steaks. Oh, and Braised Chicken Rice, poured rice dishes…”

Lin Shuyi rattled them off like a menu.

Besides school and training, her favorite thing was hunting down restaurants to eat at.

So she knew all the decent spots.

She was like a human GPS.

Lin Ruocheng rarely went to eateries. If she wanted something, she just asked her little sister.

She knew everything—better than a map app.

“Whatever. Anywhere’s fine.”

If not for the big secret her little sister mentioned, she wouldn’t have come out.

Lin Shuyi led her to a rice noodle shop.

Sure, they had money at home, but the two of them had grown up in public schools.

They were regulars at the little shop, and of course the lady boss especially liked Lin Shuyi.

Because she’d buy a big bag of snacks and distribute them to the kids below, acting like the boss.

“You said you had a big secret, right? Spill it. If it’s fake, I’ll beat you up.”

Lin Shuyi smiled awkwardly.

She put on a serious face.

“Sis, your future cop wouldn’t lie, would she?”

She just wanted to drag her big sis out, to hang out with her. Lately, she couldn’t get through on calls—daytime training left no time. She missed her sis like crazy, but it felt like her sis had almost forgotten her. How could there be such a sister in the world?

“How couldn’t she? When we were little, you bought a huge bag of spicy strips at the wholesale market, then sold them at school for two bucks a pack—cost you pennies each? When the teacher found out and called us to the office, you pinned it on me.”

“I took the blame so you wouldn’t get hit. Wasn’t that lying?”

Back then, the wife-and-wife tag-team beating had real force.

Just thinking about it made her butt ache.

That was the time Lin Shuyi fully submitted.

Willing to be her little sidekick.

“Th-that… that was how many years ago?”
