A Faceful Of Lovey-Dovey PDA - Chapter 15

Su Qin bit her lip and worked hard to force back her tears. Breathing in the familiar fragrance on Chu Mei’s body, she did not want to say anything. She only wanted to hold her like this.

Mother Su had been standing guard at the door the entire time. Ten minutes later, Chu Mei walked out. “Auntie, did you make porridge?”

Mother Su quickly brought over the porridge she had already prepared and asked, “How is Ah Qin?”

Chu Mei smiled. “There’s no overnight grudge between mother and daughter. It’s fine now. She’s lying down. Auntie, don’t be angry with her anymore. She’s on her period these days. I read in a book that getting angry at this time is the worst for a person.”

Mother Su stared blankly at Chu Mei. The moment she heard her say that, there was an impulse in her heart: forget it. Stop interfering. Someone who cared for her daughter this carefully—what did it matter whether that person was a man or a woman?

But in the end, all of Mother Su’s hesitation and conflict turned into a single word. “Okay.”

Carrying the porridge, Chu Mei walked into the room. She did not close the door. Half-hugging Su Qin, she said, “Come, drink some porridge.”

“I don’t want to drink it.” Su Qin wrinkled her nose and burrowed into Chu Mei’s arms as if acting spoiled. Chu Mei ignored her and blew on the porridge to cool it. “Hurry and drink. Otherwise, your stomach will hurt again later. In a bit, I’ll tell you something fun.”

“What thing?” Su Qin looked at Chu Mei. Chu Mei looked at her red, swollen eyes and felt terribly distressed. “Cut the nonsense. Drink first, and I’ll tell you sooner.”

Su Qin pursed her lips. At this moment, Chu Mei was rarely domineering. She coaxed Su Qin like she was coaxing a child, patiently feeding her one mouthful of porridge at a time. After tucking the blanket around her, Chu Mei smiled and said, “Last night, I got a call from Ah Yin.”

“Ah, how are they doing?”

“Hehe.” Chu Mei smiled until her eyes narrowed. “I don’t know how Sister Fang feels right now. I only know Ah Yin is very happy.”

“She… did something?” Although Su Qin did not feel well, her mind was very clear. She deeply admired this straightforward personality of her childhood friend. Chu Mei nodded. “Bingo. I heard she force-kissed Sister Fang.”

“Ah?” Su Qin sat up at once. “What happened? Ah Yin force-kissed Sister Fang? Does she… even have the strength for that?”

Chu Mei smiled wickedly. “Sometimes, it’s not a matter of strength. Anyway, Ah Yin’s first attack on the fortress was successful.”

“What was Sister Fang’s reaction?” Su Qin could always grasp the key point of a problem. The moment Chu Mei heard this, she laughed so hard she fell onto the bed. “Her? I heard from Ah Yin that she cried.”

OMG…

Sister Fang cried?

No matter what, Su Qin could not imagine that beautiful scene.

The two girls chattered nonstop in the room. Outside, Mother Su stood there and sighed faintly. Su Qin was her daughter, so she understood her best. Ever since childhood, aside from Chu Mei, she had never seen anyone else have such great magic that they could make Su Qin’s emotions rise and fall like this. Whether this was fortune or calamity, even as her mother, she truly could not tell.

The coming-out incident passed just like that, with no one mentioning it openly again.

Although Mother Chu did not say anything, her emotions had still changed. Early in the morning, she looked at Chu Mei, who had already put on her school uniform and was preparing to go to school, and asked, “My dear old daughter.”

Chu Mei frowned. “Okay, Mom, please don’t call me that. I really don’t have any allowance left, so I can’t conveniently buy soy sauce or anything for you.”

“Listen to you.” Mother Chu was amused. “Can’t Mom just want to chat with you?”

Chu Mei pointed at her watch. “Ah Qin is still waiting for me. What time is it already? What were you doing last night? Why do you have to chat right now?”

At the mention of “Ah Qin,” Mother Chu’s expression stiffened, though it quickly passed. “Um, Chuchu, are there any male classmates at school pursuing you?”

“That’s only natural.” Chu Mei’s lips split into a flower-like grin. “Although not as many as Ah Qin’s, the line still stretches from the south gate all the way to East Street. It’s especially grand and mighty.”

“Why do you drag Ah Qin into everything?” Mother Chu’s head hurt. “Are there any promising young boys you find pleasing?”

The moment Chu Mei heard that, she smiled until her eyes narrowed. “Don’t worry. I guarantee to the organization that there absolutely aren’t!”

Mother Chu was weak with exhaustion. “…You don’t need to guarantee that to me. You know your dad and I have always been open-minded and strongly support school romance.”

“NONONO!” Chu Mei made a serious face and waved her hand. “Right now, my one red heart is devoted to studying. I’m counting on working hard these next few years so I can get into the same university as Ah Qin.”

Mother Chu felt the last of her strength being drained away. “…You child. Sooner or later, the two of you will each start families. You can’t cling to Su Qin forever, can you?”

Chu Mei smiled brightly. “Mom, haven’t you and Dad always told me that when life is happy, one should enjoy it to the fullest? Why should I think so far into the future? Right now, Ah Qin still belongs to me.”

Mother Chu: “…”

Right now, even collapsing against the wall, falling to the ground, or vomiting three feet of blood could not describe Mother Chu’s feelings. She finally understood where the certainty and confidence in Su Qin’s eyes that day had come from. Her foolish girl… even if Su Qin sold her off, she would probably still ask the buyer, “Did you give my Ah Qin too little money?” Although Mother Chu did not want to say this about her own daughter, this Chuchu was simply missing a piece of her brain, stubborn to the end, and in need of a beating.

The beating-worthy Chu Mei went out. Su Qin was waiting for her as usual. “Where’s your bicycle?”

Chu Mei plopped herself onto the back seat of Su Qin’s bike. “I gave it to my little brother.”

“When did you get a little brother?” Su Qin exposed her directly, but the moment Chu Mei wrapped her arms around her waist, the corners of her lips rose.

Chu Mei hugged Su Qin tightly. Remembering what her mother had said that morning, she asked, “Ah Qin, when do you plan to get married?”

The smile froze on Su Qin’s face, and her body stiffened along with it. Her voice was dry. “Why are you asking that?”

“My mom said this morning that I can’t cling to you for a lifetime. Sooner or later, you’ll get married. What’s so good about getting married? Don’t get married.” Chu Mei had always been overbearing with Su Qin, carrying a bit of unreasonable fussiness.

Hearing this, Su Qin’s mood improved greatly. “If I don’t get married, who will support me?”

“Me!” Chu Mei patted her chest. “Don’t you think this face of mine is getting prettier and prettier? I especially look like a sponsor, don’t I?”

Su Qin did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Where did you learn that from again? You—”

“Ah, Sister Fang!!!” Chu Mei’s sudden roar startled Su Qin so badly she trembled. Usually, Chu Mei had never been especially enthusiastic toward Wang Yanfang, but now she was incredibly enthusiastic.

Sister Fang wore a baseball cap tilted crookedly on her head. She looked coldly at Chu Mei. “Do you need something?”

“Why did you appear near my place?” Chu Mei asked with a wicked little grin. “Could it be that you’re waiting for Ah Yin?”

“That’s right!” Lin Xueyin walked out gracefully. Under Chu Mei and Su Qin’s surprised gazes, she plopped herself onto the back seat of Sister Fang’s bicycle. Wrapping one arm around Sister Fang’s waist, she rested her face against Sister Fang’s back. “Darling, let’s go.”

The corners of Sister Fang’s lips rose. She still wore that roguish smile, but her eyes were full of indulgence. “You got it!”

Watching the two of them ride away, Su Qin opened her mouth. “My god.”

Chu Mei also rubbed her eyes. “What happened between those two?”

Su Qin swallowed. “With your rich imagination, do you really need to ask me what they did?”

Chu Mei covered her mouth. “Oh my god, don’t tell me they did it?”

Su Qin: “…………………………”
