Chapter 191 The Sentimental Miss Li

Tang Yao was a little surprised.

Li Xue's question was something she hadn't expected.

She thought Li Xue would ask about the sequel to the story or related settings.

It came to an abrupt end, after all.

But Li Xue actually asked her if she had added any personal touches.

This question...

"Of course not."

Tang Yao said confidently, "I have principles."

"real."

Li Xue tightened her arms around Tang Yao's neck slightly, as if she was a little nervous.

"of course."

"..."

Upon hearing the definite answer, Li Xue asked softly, "Then why did the husband in the comic, who initially sought help from everyone in his family to summon the heroine's remnant image, abandon her as time went on?"

"...?"

Tang Yao slowly put up a question mark.

No.

Because of this?

Tang Yao was both amused and exasperated, realizing for the first time... clearly the difference in thinking between herself and this mature woman.

Even though she and Li Xue are of the same sex and have the exact same body structure at this moment.

But to be honest... Tang Yao would never have such sentimental thoughts.

All she could think was that her husband had guarded the lingering image of his betrothed wife for ten whole years without forgetting her; rationally speaking, that was truly remarkable.

After all, it wasn't a living, breathing person.

But Miss Li clearly didn't think that way.

really.

Even if you get used to this identity, you can't change what's ingrained in your bones.

However, despite her words, Tang Yao would never mock Li Xue.

Because the older sister needs comfort more right now.

So she raised her hand and gently cupped Li Xue's delicate, fair face.

Following Tang Yao's movement, Li Xue slightly raised her snow-white chin and looked at her.

"...That's just a story."

Looking at her slightly reddened beautiful eyes, Tang Yao couldn't help but gently stroke the corner of her eye with her thumb, tilting her head and saying, "Are you afraid of being forgotten in the future?"

"..."

Li Xue blushed slightly, her gaze darting away.

"rest assured."

Seeing her like this, Tang Yao knew she had guessed right. She gently rubbed her delicate face and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You are a living, breathing person, and who would forget Miss Li, who has such a great figure and such a good personality? Even if others forget you, I won't. Of course... compared to the person you will like in the future, my promise as a friend doesn't seem to be very important."

But you must remember, promises are... well, they're all unreliable. While there are plenty of men who keep their word, most men's promises are just that—promises. I can vouch for that.

"Do you have the right to speak?"

Li Xue felt the delicate white fingers stroking the corner of her eye, blinked, and her long eyelashes trembled, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Tang Yao froze for a moment, then explained, "Uh... I don't mean I've heard a lot of other people's promises, I mean I've seen a lot."

"What have you seen a lot about?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xue rolled her eyes at Tang Yao, then pursed her glossy red lips and tentatively said, "You look like you've never been in a relationship before..."

"how about you."

Tang Yao glared at her back: "Have you dated anyone? How many times?"

"No……"

"Then why are you criticizing me? Aren't we all emotional idiots?"

Tang Yao rolled her eyes, but her hands kept moving. She had to admit that Miss Li's face felt really nice and soft... So beautiful, and with such a great personality, it was unbelievable that she hadn't found a partner yet.

Talk about it.

Back when I was at Wenxin Pavilion.

When they first met, Li Xue would complain to her about her colleagues making small talk and how clumsy they were at striking up conversations.

But I don't know when it started.

She stopped talking about her suitors in front of Tang Yao.

It was as if no one was pursuing her anymore.

But... is it really not true?

Think of this.

Tang Yao suddenly felt a little annoyed, but she didn't know why.

But I'm just not happy...

So she gently rubbed Li Xue's cheek and added, "Besides, you get so deeply involved in a comic book, you're even more embarrassing than me."

Li Xue blushed slightly and tried to explain, "...I wasn't putting myself in their shoes, I was just curious."

"Excuse... Did you put on makeup?"

Tang Yao understood, rolled her eyes at her again, but didn't continue teasing her. Instead, she cupped her face and changed the subject, saying, "Don't ruin your makeup because of your tears."

"It's dissolved... but I didn't cry."

Li Xue retorted, "I just had tears in my eyes..."

Tang Yao carefully examined her delicate face, which was so close to hers, and asked curiously, "Is it really made up? Why can't I really tell?"

"It's just light makeup... and didn't you say last time that your lipstick was fading? You know I was wearing lipstick, how could you not notice?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xue seemed to want to prove something, and since sitting on Tang Yao's lap in one position for a long time was indeed uncomfortable, she moved closer to Tang Yao and leaned forward slightly. Their fair faces drew near, and their warm breaths mingled.

Tang Yao was still holding her face in her hands.

It looks like they're about to kiss.

"..."

Tang Yao paused slightly, her rubbing motion on her face faltering... mainly because she couldn't rub it anymore.

Because Li Xue pressed down on him.

Tang Yao's arms were forced to bend, sandwiched between the two women's delicate bodies.

Li Xue didn't seem to realize something was wrong and said, "Look."

"..."

Upon hearing Li Xue's words, Tang Yao looked at her suddenly close, beautiful face, and at her glossy red lips that shone with an alluring luster... A blush instantly spread across her delicate features.

So close……

Li Xue noticed Tang Yao's expression, paused for a moment, and finally realized that their current posture was a bit too intimate.

Her ears turned slightly red, but instead of straightening up, she leaned forward a little further.

He had an air of defiance, as if he was determined to prove something.

what.

So close.

Why are they so close?

They're about to kiss.

Tang Yao cupped Li Xue's face in her hands, noticing her movements. Her body tensed, her face flushed, and she wanted to glare at her.

But at that moment, Li Xue leaned forward again, her red lips slightly parted, revealing her pearly white teeth, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with tears as she whispered, "...The lipstick marks should be quite obvious, right?"

"..."

unacceptable.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yao seemed to snap. She immediately closed her eyes, tilted her head forward, and gently pressed her pale pink lips against her red lips.

A dragonfly touches the water.

Just touch and leave.

As soon as she left, Tang Yao regretted it and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Okay, I saw it, I saw it. Get up quickly, you're so heavy."

"..."

Li Xue was completely stunned until Tang Yao's voice rang out.

She got up from Tang Yao's lap as if she had been electrocuted, and a blush crept onto her face.

It seems they hadn't expected this at all.

"..."

"..."

then.

The two, one sitting and the other standing, suddenly fell silent.

Tang Yao's face turned bright red, and her gaze darted away.

Li Xue kept smoothing her long hair at her temples, looking left and right.

"You just mentioned whether the color would fade... so I did another test."

After a long time.

Tang Yao finally spoke up, trying to sound as confident as ever, but because her pretty face was flushed and she stammered, she didn't come across as confident. Instead, it sounded like she was forcing an explanation: "Don't mind, we've been drinking from the same cup for so long..."

Li Xue stopped looking around, her face also flushed, and said, "Yes, I know..."

Tang Yao didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but continued to stammer, "That's good, then you go ahead and get busy. Um... since Rumi's mother agreed to let us handle the publicity as we see fit, then let's release the promotional video for the FGO collaboration gacha pool, so that the 'Dark Night' production team doesn't keep putting us down, we can retaliate."

And...and I also need to see the feedback on the short story "The Long Goodbye."

"Yes, I'll go now."

Li Xue nodded immediately, then turned to leave.

She seemed to have completely forgotten.

We'll take a lunch break now.

The staff are all eating.

obviously.

Both of them were somewhat flustered.

Tang Yao's face was burning hot. She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Li Xue turn around.

But halfway through turning around, Li Xue suddenly remembered something and turned back.

She walked shyly to Tang Yao, who was sitting down, and then reached out her hand to her.

Tang Yao was slightly taken aback, but still subconsciously raised her hand and placed it in her palm.

"..."

With a slight pull, Li Xue lifted Tang Yao up from the chair, then hugged the staggering Tang Yao and lifted her up by her shapely figure.

Tang Yao's feet were forced off the ground, and she lay on top of Li Xue, her face flushed even more.

The two figures' undulating curves touched.

But both of their delicate bodies were somewhat tense...

"I do not mind."

Li Xue put Tang Yao down, left a sentence, and immediately turned and left.

Tang Yao watched Li Xue's back, then turned around stiffly and slowly. After pulling out a chair and sitting down, she slowly leaned on the table, burying her face in her arms, revealing only a pair of shy, bright eyes.

At this moment, she had only one thought:

Ruined……
