Chapter 13: Before bathing
The sun reflected from an opposite high-rise building, turning the sparkling pool’s water transparent. She blinked as the water slid down her hair and landed on her chest.
She tried to move her legs, but instead, the inner sides ground onto Ye Xun’s waist.
Their positions were incredibly intimate, causing a few people above to glance at them. However, everyone pretended not to see them, and didn’t say anything.
She wanted to step back, but Ye Xun stopped her and held the two of them together. Maybe it was just an illusion, but He Yu felt cold as the water splashed around her, a cool breeze landing on her back. She unconsciously tightened her arms around Ye Xun and closed the distance between them.
Ye Xun pushed her against the pool’s wall, released her hands, and bent over to kiss. He Yu on the corner of her lips.
Just a light peck, nothing more.
A few people watching laughed suddenly, even He Yu couldn’t help the corners of her lips from raising.
In contrast, the other two couples in the pool were either playing in the water or kissing so deeply that they were almost inseparable.
This group of girls was all at an age where they no longer interacted with people of Ye Xun’s age, so everyone was secretly observing Ye Xun.
After soaking in the water for a long time, He Yu pulled Ye Xun ashore.
Jiang Yun brought some barbecue over and teased her a little, He Yu accepted the barbecue and ignored her.

Around ten in the evening, the guests started going home. Jiang Yun had drunk herself silly while He Yu hadn’t drunk a drop. He Yu wanted to drop Jiang Yun off but was intercepted by the cold-faced woman who offered to drive Jiang Yun home instead.
He Yu had seen the cold-faced woman once or twice; she was a friend of a friend who had a working relationship with Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun still held some rationality, knew who the other party was, so accepted the cold-faced woman’s offer, and left with her.
He Yu and Ye Xun drove back to their neighborhood.
At this point, the community was silent; the dim street lights were the only lights left on. When He Yu reached the door of her apartment, Ye Xun was still following behind her.
He Yu stood at the door and refused to let Ye Xun in.
Ye Xun respected her wishes; she wouldn’t enter if the other didn’t want her to.
“I’m going to S City on Tuesday,” said He Yu. “I will be studying and staying there for two to three days.”
Even if she was just selling coffee, she still needed to keep up with the current trends and learn the latest marketing techniques. Since one couldn’t expect a person to come and teach, she had to attend an event instead.
Ye Xun quietly hummed in agreement.
“Go to bed early, and I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” He Yu started to close the door.
Ye Xun stopped the door with one hand, leaned forward, and kissed her lips. Just like how she was taught, she bit on He Yu’s lips and poked with her tongue.
He Yu was a bit surprised, but didn’t push her away, and opened her mouth slightly in response.

The trip was a total of three days. When she returned, Ye Xun was leaving to participate in a competition. It seemed their schedules were staggered.
Ye Xun’s competition should be done in the afternoon, and she said she would return this evening.
He Yu had bought a gift from S City for Ye Xun and was preparing several dishes for dinner when Mother He called, asking about the latest situation with Ye Xun.
He Yu mumbled some answers and didn’t directly answer Mother He’s questioning.
“Bring her over when you’re free.” Mother He ordered, before abruptly hanging up.
He Yu felt helpless. Ye Xun was still a student; if she took her home, Mother He will definitely have a lot of opinions on the matter. She’ll wait until Ye Xun graduates before doing anything.
Around eight, Ye Xun returned. They ate, unpacked, and even took a bath together.
Taking off their clothes, they didn’t enter the bath immediately and did it in front of the sink.
He Yu supported herself in front of the sink while Ye Xun was behind her….
