Chapter 134: Do You Want Sesame Tangyuan? 

While Jiang Xue carefully and cautiously tried, Xiao Luohan initially cooperated, but after the little dolphin was in place for a while, she couldn’t help but nudge Jiang Xue, wanting her to respond.

Clinging to her and nibbling at the same time, she made Jiang Xue flustered. Although Jiang Xue did respond, it was too hurried and didn’t satisfy Xiao Luohan, who whispered many indistinct words in her ear.

Like a slightly tipsy state, rationality wavering between present and absent, Jiang Xue, originally still somewhat clear-headed, seemed to be infected by this state as time passed. If it weren’t for her period, she would have liked to reciprocate everything Xiao Luo did.

Considering that Xiao Luo was also enduring pain for her today, and this was their first time, she didn’t let the little dolphin stay for too long, but turning it off and taking it out still embarrassed her for a while.

Fortunately, because of her period, she had been using a pad on the bed these past few days, so she just had to remove and wash it.

Even though the air conditioner was on in the bedroom, Xiao Luohan was still sweating. While she showered, Jiang Xue washed and disinfected the little dolphin at the sink, repeatedly washing the pad as well, afraid of being discovered by Sister Cheng, who would be cleaning the room.

“Do you want sesame tangyuan?”(similar to Sweet Glutinous Rice) Xiao Luohan suddenly asked as she turned off the water and dried herself.

“Sure, I think there’s a bag in the freezer…” Jiang Xue instinctively replied, then, realizing something wasn’t right, turned around in surprise. “Are you talking about actual sesame tangyuan?”

Ever since using “xue meiniang” as a euphemism for herself, she felt there was nothing wrong with Xiao Luo calling herself a tangyuan (glutinous rice ball).

“Edible whether it’s literal or not,” Xiao Luohan said cheerfully. “Sweet and perfect for celebrating after the exam.”

Jiang Xue gave her a complicated look, but then, remembering that she had also done similar things, she seriously considered it, put down what she was doing, opened the steaming bathroom door, and joined Xiao Luohan in enjoying the tangyuan.

That afternoon, she even asked Sister Cheng to make a pot of sweet tangyuan, all with black sesame filling, and Dr. Qi, who was waiting in the living room, also received a bowl.

After Sister Cheng went upstairs to work, Dr. Qi scooped up a tangyuan and asked casually, “Who took the initiative?”

Jiang Xue, who was about to eat her tangyuan: “…Me.”

“Did you take precautions? Or did you use assistance?” Dr. Qi asked frankly.

Jiang Xue looked down at the tangyuan, its white skin hiding the black sesame filling, sighed, and explained everything softly and honestly.

Xiao Luohan ate her tangyuan calmly and slowly, in small bites. Because of her sensitive stomach, she only had a few, and she ate slowly.

While Jiang Xue was being questioned by Dr. Qi, she, as one of the parties involved, seemed detached, only looking up when Dr. Qi called her name.

“Taught by the palace matrons in ancient times, or self-taught?” Dr. Qi asked seriously.

Xiao Luohan thought for a moment. “Both.”

As a princess sent for marriage alliance, she had indeed received instructions on how to serve her husband before her wedding, and she had even seen some jade tools used by women in the palace.

After coming to this world, she hadn’t specifically researched it, having been busy with learning new things and preparing for exams. It was only recently that she had asked Teacher Sui for guidance.

However, Dr. Qi, as if confirming something, looked at her intently for a few seconds, then nodded. “I understand.”

…What did she understand?

Despite the slight unease in her heart, Xiao Luohan didn’t show it, calmly finishing her tangyuan.

She had to find an opportunity to inform Teacher Sui soon.

On the night of the first day after the college entrance exam, when it was her usual study time, Jiang Xue instinctively reached for her books.

Seeing the empty bookshelf, she suddenly realized that the busy three years of high school were over.

Before starting a new round of busyness, she had a full three months of vacation.

The sound of someone trying out melodies on the guqin came from the study. To celebrate the end of Jiang Xue’s college entrance exam, Xiao Luohan decided to do a face-reveal livestream. If Jiang Xue wanted to join, she could also find an excuse to appear on camera.

Jiang Xue considered it, but when Xiao Luohan started the livestream, and she saw the rapidly increasing number of viewers and the barrage of gifts even before the official start, she retreated to a corner out of camera view, holding Xiao Luohan’s phone and monitoring the backend.

As soon as Xiao Luohan finished setting up the livestream equipment, she saw Jiang Xue huddled there like a quail and couldn’t help but chuckle.

But if Jiang Xue wasn’t willing, she wouldn’t force her. She greeted the viewers as usual, giving her opening remarks: “Tonight’s livestream is to celebrate the end of my girlfriend A-Xue’s college entrance exam, and also to wish all the senior year students in front of the screen the best of luck and excellent results!”

【Wife’s words are breaking my heart QAQ】

【Is that why you’re doing a face-reveal livestream today?】

【Pretending to be a senior year student, Wife blessed me, hehe!】

【You even called her your girlfriend, can we still call you ‘wife’?】

Jiang Xue hadn’t been nervous when reading the comments and reposts before, but now she was, thinking about whether to post a paid comment or simply show her face to declare her “ownership.”

“We have other nicknames in private,” she heard Xiao Luohan say with a smile. “‘Wife’ is just the most common one.”

The comments section exploded again. Jiang Xue paused, then thought about it, and it was indeed true.

Even after they got married, she probably wouldn’t call Xiao Luo “wife,” but something else, and what that would be depended on her mood and the situation… or perhaps, no matter how old they got, she would always call her “Xiao Luo.”

Xiao Luohan interacted with the viewers for a while longer, then started taking song requests.

She had recently learned many livestream plugins and was now proficient in operating the computer. Besides her occasionally retro attire and temperament, there was no trace of her ancient origins.

However, Jiang Xue’s biggest worry still materialized.

After playing about five songs, Xiao Luohan stopped, looking at Jiang Xue, a little anxious.

Although this livestream was to celebrate the end of Jiang Xue’s college entrance exam, it was her first time doing something like this, so she wasn’t experienced. And because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, she hadn’t prepared any “routines.” Seeing Jiang Xue sitting alone, playing on her phone, she suddenly realized she had made a big mistake.

Jiang Xue wasn’t participating, and all the excitement was just between her and the viewers.

Just then, Jiang Xue suddenly looked up at her.

“Since the warm-up is almost over, let’s play together,” Jiang Xue put down her phone and walked towards the piano behind Xiao Luohan.

She understood Xiao Luohan’s worries, but she wasn’t afraid of “saving the day” and improvising.

Xiao Luo wasn’t experienced in this and had only just realized that it wasn’t as easy as she had imagined. This small mishap actually made Jiang Xue slightly relieved, feeling that she could contribute and not just watch Xiao Luo host the entire livestream.

She memorized the song request list. The next few songs were all ones she had played before while practicing the piano. Even if her muscle memory had faded, she could still improvise after listening to the song once.

Xiao Luohan didn’t react at first, but when Jiang Xue started playing the prelude to the next song, she came back to her senses, her heart calming down with the music.

If they had looked at the comments section now, they would have seen the viewers pause for a few seconds before spamming the chat with cheers.

【\Xiao Luo/\Xiao Luo/\Xiao Luo/】

【\A-Xue/\A-Xue/\A-Xue/】

【Wow, such great chemistry! So is “Xue Luo” actually a duo? (dog head)】

【Tell us how long you’ve been practicing!】

【It feels like an improvised accompaniment, the style is so different from the original song, but it’s also very pleasant.】

【Will there be a replay of this livestream? I plan to listen to it while slacking off at work tomorrow, to recharge.】

【The clip makers are already working on it (the first five songs are being reviewed!!)】

While playing the accompaniment, Jiang Xue was also thinking about the next part of the livestream.

Although Xiao Luo was affiliated with Ms. Silin’s studio, she didn’t have any “required streaming hours.” She could end the stream whenever she wanted and play whatever she liked.

Since Xiao Luo wanted this livestream to be a celebration for her, to make her happy, then they should do something enjoyable for both of them.

The easiest option was playing games. Xiao Luo’s keyboard was large enough for two people to play silly two-player games on the S platform.

Having made up her mind, after five more songs, she turned and asked, “Want to play some games with me?”

“What do you want to play?” Xiao Luohan, who had also been thinking about this, asked while carefully putting away the guqin.

“Human: Fall Flat? Or Untitled Goose Game?” Jiang Xue suggested, pulling a swivel chair over and sitting beside her.

She hadn’t faced the camera directly while playing the guqin, but her courage had grown as she played, and now, finally in front of the computer, she could calmly and enthusiastically greet the viewers.

She hadn’t expected her appearance to cause another frenzy in the comments section.

【Can you both be my cyber wives? .jpg】

【My jaw dropped all the way to the capital!!】

【Oh no, I want to see both games, but Human: Fall Flat first, hopefully they won’t break up after playing (prayer hands)】

【+1, I broke up with my ex after playing Human: Fall Flat for a few days_(:з」∠)_】

【Let’s spice things up, how about Overcooked?!】

【The music segment is over, I’m leaving.】

Xiao Luohan had heard of the games mentioned in the comments, but hadn’t played them before. Considering that tonight was a celebration, not meant to cause frustration, she chose Untitled Goose Game.

This game had a fairytale-like art style. After clicking “start game,” two white geese waddled around the “spawn point,” their hips swaying.

“This is for honking, this is for pecking…” Jiang Xue explained the buttons one by one, then brought up the task list. “After completing all the requirements, you clear the stage.”

Xiao Luohan obediently replied with an “okay,” but just as Jiang Xue’s goose was trying to peck the doorknob, her mischievous side emerged, and she quietly went behind Jiang Xue’s goose and pressed the peck button.

This game had been updated many times and was now more realistic than the initial version. Even as teammates, the two geese could peck each other.

So Xiao Luo’s goose pecked Jiang Xue’s goose, which was focused on the doorknob, making it fall on its butt.

Jiang Xue, caught off guard, turned around abruptly: ?

【Hahahahaha, congratulations on unlocking the correct way to play!!】

【How can you not peck your teammate in two-player mode? (dog head)】

Jiang Xue has a secret.

One day, another person's handwriting suddenly appeared in her diary.

The handwriting, written with a brush, was delicate yet firm, and in traditional Chinese characters.

Curiously, she began communicating with the other person through the diary and discovered that they were a princess awaiting a marriage alliance, recently sent from her defeated homeland, and soon to be wed.

Jiang Xue was happy to chat with her and alleviate her boredom. Since communication was inconvenient, she used her phone to convert simplified characters to traditional ones as she wrote.

One day, while using her phone in class, she was caught by the teacher. Panicked, Jiang Xue slammed her notebook shut. When she opened it again, her phone was gone!

A line of text had appeared in the notebook:

【What is this object?】

Accompanied by a simple sketch of her phone.

Jiang Xue: …

“Um, pen pal, could you please return the thing that fell through? QAQ”


Later, Jiang Xue had a dream.

In the dream, there was a woman with a frosty demeanor and dignified posture, draped in a heavy cloak, writing at a window with a brush.

Curious, she approached and saw her own handwriting in the book in front of the woman.

Just then, the woman turned, and their eyes met.

Jiang Xue: “…Hi, pen pal?”
