XYLFTL Chapter 9

“No… it’s not that, I’m just hot.” Lin Anping stuttered, flustered.

Shen Xiaoyou raised her hand slightly, covering her mouth as she chuckled softly.

Anping felt all of this in her peripheral vision, but she felt inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed.

Anping pretended to nudge Shen Xiaoyou.

Shen Xiaoyou pretended to fall, letting out an “Aiya” sound.

Anping panicked and immediately grabbed Shen Xiaoyou, pulling her towards herself, and Shen Xiaoyou took the opportunity to lie in Anping’s arms.

“Hmm… it’s so comfortable in someone else’s arms, let’s sleep.” Shen Xiaoyou lay there calmly.

Anping, however, was stunned for a long time. She didn’t know whether to hug her or what to do. She only knew that her heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out.

Anping’s mind couldn’t recover for a long time, but Shen Xiaoyou slept exceptionally soundly.

At night, at the Lin Family Residence.

“I’m sorry, Mother Lin, I really don’t know why this is happening.” Lin Yuan had been apologizing to Mother Lin all night.

But Mother Lin couldn’t find a reason to scold her, so she could only say, “Alright, Lin Yuan, Mother Lin doesn’t blame you. Go and rest. I’ll take you to see a therapist tomorrow.”

Lin Yuan nodded and returned to her room. Mother Lin sighed deeply.

She didn’t understand how Lin Yuan suddenly developed psychological problems.

Back in her bedroom, Lin Yuan sent a message to Sister Wu, the former nanny: “What should I do? I don’t have a psychological illness, and therapists are very perceptive.”

“Just don’t talk, and cry when they tell you to.” Sister Wu quickly replied.

Lin Yuan thought that this was the only way. She couldn’t let them find out that she was faking it.

When Father Lin returned, he saw Mother Lin looking worried and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Ah…” Mother Lin told Father Lin what had happened today.

Father Lin comforted her, “It’s okay, take Lin Yuan to see someone tomorrow.”

He was about to return to the bedroom when he suddenly turned around and said, “The girl next to Lin Anping was able to find bodyguards instantly, which means her identity is not simple. Next time, speak with evidence.” Father Lin instructed.

Mother Lin nodded.

Very subtle sounds were especially noticeable in the quiet room. Anping couldn’t turn over too much, only her legs could move freely.

She really couldn’t sleep, and she didn’t know why she was so restless.

The moonlight outside shone on Shen Xiaoyou’s face, making her already beautiful face even more radiant.

Anping observed Shen Xiaoyou’s features, directly feeling how someone’s skin could be so good. Anping suddenly wanted to touch her face.

So she reached out tentatively, gently, little by little, the soft touch coming from her fingertips, causing Anping’s fingers to tremble.

And so, unable to sleep, she began to study Shen Xiaoyou, but when she looked directly at Shen Xiaoyou’s lips, she really wanted to kiss them. She thought, she was sleeping, so it should be okay.

But reason pulled her back, and she could only look like this, thinking in her mind, and finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Shen Xiaoyou woke up early, feeling the comfortable and soft embrace. She didn’t really want to get up, but she couldn’t, she had to get up.

Anping made a grunting sound, scaring Shen Xiaoyou so much that she didn’t dare to move, and could only continue to lie in her arms.

She looked at the ceiling boredly, wondering when Anping would get up, but it seemed that Anping had no intention of getting up.

Shen Xiaoyou had to slowly pull her body away. She finally got out of bed, and Anping also woke up.

Shen Xiaoyou turned her head and breathed a sigh of relief: “You’re awake? Good morning.”

“Hmm, good morning.” Only now did Anping carefully look at the clothes on Shen Xiaoyou.

Because Shen Xiaoyou came directly without bringing any clothes, she was wearing Anping’s pajamas, but why were they so big on Shen Xiaoyou?

Was there that much of a difference between 175 and 168? Anping thought to herself.

Shen Xiaoyou had directly felt it when she changed into the pajamas yesterday, and she felt bitter inside at that time.

She thought she was already tall at 168, why were children these days still so tall, making her look so short.

Anping looked at Shen Xiaoyou and said, “Senior, you can find some clothes to wear yourself, find something suitable.”

Shen Xiaoyou nodded and then said, “It’s been ‘Senior’ since yesterday, didn’t you say you’d call me ‘older sister’?”

Anping was just about to call her ‘older sister’ when she suddenly remembered that when she was searching the other day, she saw a post saying that calling each other ‘older sister’ between same-sex couples was very ambiguous.

Should she not call her that? But did Shen Xiaoyou like her, or did she like Shen Xiaoyou?

She thought, maybe a little, she liked Shen Xiaoyou a little.

So she couldn’t bring herself to say it now, so she tentatively said, “Shen Xiaoyou.”

Shen Xiaoyou raised her eyebrows but didn’t refuse: “That’s fine too, I’ve chosen.”

Anping was full of question marks, were those really her clothes? She was too good at dressing! Ahhh, unlike her, she wore casual clothes every day.

Shen Xiaoyou looked at her without saying anything and asked, “Is it not good-looking?”

“It’s good-looking, it’s just too good-looking, I accidentally got lost in thought.” Anping explained.

“Let’s go out to eat, let’s go.” Anping quickly went out.

Grandmother got up very early, and the food in the pot was left for them. Anping first ran to check if Grandmother had taken her medicine, and then came over to eat breakfast with Shen Xiaoyou.

After eating breakfast, Anping cleaned up the house and said to Grandmother, “Grandmother, be careful at home, I’m taking Shen Xiaoyou to play around here and then we’ll go back to school.”

“Okay, you guys be careful.” Grandmother said to Anping.

Shen Xiaoyou seemed to suddenly think of something: “Wait for me.” Then she ran out.

Then she came back in carrying a large pile of tonics and nutritional products and put them down: “Grandmother, remember to eat them on time, I forgot yesterday.”

As she spoke, she ran to get more, and Grandmother quickly said to Anping, “Anping, this is too much, tell Xiaoyou she doesn’t need to.”

Anping was just about to go out when Shen Xiaoyou took another pile in. Anping said to Shen Xiaoyou, “Actually, you don’t need to prepare these.”

“Of course I do, Grandmother, thank you for the trouble these past two days, remember to eat them, I’ll come to see you again.” Shen Xiaoyou said to Grandmother.

Anping said to Shen Xiaoyou, “I have to give you the money for this.”

“That won’t do, this is my way of showing my appreciation.” Shen Xiaoyou refused.

Grandmother looked at the two children and said repeatedly, “Okay, Grandmother will eat them, don’t buy them next time, Grandmother can’t finish them.”

Shen Xiaoyou happily said, “Okay, I’ll buy less next time.”

Anping then said to Grandmother, “Grandmother, then take care of yourself, we’re leaving.”

“Okay.” With that, Grandmother waved her hand.

After Anping got in the car, she kept waving to Grandmother, seeing in the rearview mirror that Grandmother was following behind until she couldn’t be seen anymore.

Shen Xiaoyou saw that Anping was in a bad mood and asked, “Have you considered bringing your grandmother to Jingcheng?”

“I’ve considered it, but the housing prices in Jingcheng are really expensive, and I haven’t saved enough money yet.” Anping said worriedly.

Shen Xiaoyou thought for a moment and then said, “I have several vacant houses, I can rent one to you, with a discount!” Shen Xiaoyou was afraid that Anping would refuse.

Anping did refuse, Anping said: “No, you rent it out to make money, I haven’t saved enough yet.”

“I have money, I don’t need to rent it out to make money, and I saw how that mother and daughter were yesterday, I’m afraid they’ll cause trouble for your grandmother in the future.” Shen Xiaoyou grew up in a big environment since she was a child and had seen a lot of this kind of thing.

The Lin family she investigated yesterday, although they were just an insignificant small family, they could be considered the first in City J.

This sentence awakened Anping, and Anping was very conflicted.

Shen Xiaoyou went on to say, “Don’t be polite with me, your grandmother’s safety is the most important, bring Grandmother here when you’re a sophomore.”

Anping thought that she would definitely be able to earn this money and make it up to Shen Xiaoyou in the future.

“A smaller one is fine.” Anping said.

Shen Xiaoyou nodded and said, “There’s a loft, it’s very small, the downstairs has one bedroom that’s just right for Grandmother, there’s one upstairs, you can go and sleep there, one month will be five thousand, okay?”

“Is it that cheap? Are you deliberately giving me a low price?” Anping suspected.

“I told you, it’s vacant, I don’t need it, and it’s originally small, I even think five thousand is expensive.” Shen Xiaoyou said to herself.

Anping thought to herself about her current savings, plus the work she had taken before, she was completely able to pay for two or three years.

Anping thought to herself: I have to work harder to earn money and strive to buy a house as soon as possible.

Realizing that Anping wasn’t listening to her, Shen Xiaoyou pouted and said, “What are you doing!”

Anping immediately apologized, and her flustered appearance made Shen Xiaoyou unable to get angry at all.

After arriving at the place to play, Anping took Shen Xiaoyou to walk through the small alleys. It was drizzling, the air was fresh, and the environment was beautiful.

Shen Xiaoyou liked the feeling here very much, she felt that it was very suitable for having a couple of drinks.

Anping seemed to suddenly understand Shen Xiaoyou’s expression and said to her, “The scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the homestay I booked is also like this!”

Shen Xiaoyou was pleasantly surprised: “Really? I’ll give you the money, how can I let a child pay for it?”

“Who are you looking down on, always calling me a child.” Anping chased after Shen Xiaoyou.

“Aren’t you a child? Hahahaha.” Shen Xiaoyou said while running.

After arriving at the homestay in the evening, the two of them took showers one after the other. Shen Xiaoyou ordered ice cups and sparkling water, drinks, and alcohol from takeout, and they were all delivered.

The two of them put a blanket on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Shen Xiaoyou began to mix drinks.

After mixing them, the two of them toasted, and Shen Xiaoyou felt that this was too comfortable.

Looking at the scenery outside the window.

Anping quietly looked at Shen Xiaoyou, she thought: What is first love like, is it like this for me?

No matter what she was doing, as long as Shen Xiaoyou was next to her, she would be very happy, she had never been this happy before.

She felt that Shen Xiaoyou was good in every way and always wanted to look at her.

Finally noticing Anping’s gaze, Shen Xiaoyou asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Anping wanted to say it but didn’t dare, she didn’t know what Shen Xiaoyou felt about her.

She just shook her head and said it was nothing. After drinking for a while, Anping’s face became very red.

Shen Xiaoyou asked her, “Are you drunk?”

“No, I blush easily.” Anping said in a very normal tone.

Shen Xiaoyou nodded, thinking to herself: My friends who blush easily have a very good alcohol tolerance, but blushing is an alcohol allergy.

“You can’t drink too much if you blush easily, you know?” Shen Xiaoyou said to Anping.

“I know.” Anping obediently replied.

Shen Xiaoyou thought to herself: Does this person really not refute anything? Does she really just do whatever other people say?

After drinking for a while, the two of them cleaned up and lay on the bed. Anping tossed and turned on the bed.

She couldn’t sleep again, she seemed to want to sleep with Shen Xiaoyou.

Shen Xiaoyou had already fallen asleep. Time passed minute by minute, and Anping finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

She ran to Shen Xiaoyou’s bed and moved Shen Xiaoyou.

Shen Xiaoyou was very annoyed when someone woke her up, but when she opened her eyes and saw that it was Anping, she immediately said gently, “What’s wrong?”

“I want to sleep with you.” Anping said directly.
