Chapter Thirty-Nine: Tang Poems and Song Lyrics

Tang Shiying dreamed about some moments between herself and Song Zijin...

“All right, Shiying, did you update today?” Song Zijin watched Tang Shiying wandering around, unable to concentrate on her studies. She pulled Tang Shiying into her lap and asked.

Tang Shiying shook her head, looking bewildered. “I haven’t updated today.”

“Then shouldn’t you hurry and update?” Song Zijin gently tapped Tang Shiying’s nose, her gaze full of affection. Seeing Tang Shiying’s confused face, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Oh.” Tang Shiying obediently nodded and began typing as she sat on Song Zijin’s lap.

But she remained in a daze, not writing a single word, simply staring off from Song Zijin’s lap.

She leaned against Song Zijin’s shoulder and whispered, “Um... Zijin, I like you.”

Song Zijin was stunned by those words. She looked at Tang Shiying, barely daring to believe what she’d heard. “What did you say?”

“I said, look: Lianlian has her Lord Hua, Wei Ying has his Lan Zhan, Yu has his Chao, Qi Zui has his Yang, Cheng has his Gu Fei, Ran has her Jun, Mang has her Cheng...

And I, I want you to be by my side. If you don’t agree, that’s all right—I’ll keep trying, keep chasing after you.” Tang Shiying looked at Song Zijin anxiously, afraid that Song Zijin would reject her.

Song Zijin smiled, held Tang Shiying’s head gently, and kissed her.

“Ooh~ Who was it just now saying you two were just ordinary friends? Look, right now you’ve been proven wrong! By the way, which one of you confessed first?” Ding Qingyan walked over, her face full of curiosity, and asked the two of them.

Tang Shiying’s face was as red as a monkey’s bottom. She covered her face and sat silently in Song Zijin’s arms.

Seeing her precious Shiying so shy, Song Zijin couldn’t help but laugh, gently patting Tang Shiying’s head. “I confessed first.”

Ding Qingyan looked at them, still skeptical.

Song Zijin hugged Tang Shiying close and whispered, “Go to sleep now, I’ll be right here beside you.”

Tang Shiying nodded obediently and lay in Song Zijin’s embrace, but no matter what, she couldn’t fall asleep.

Suddenly she sat up and looked at Song Zijin’s face. “Zijin, why do you like me?”

Song Zijin paused, thinking back over all their moments together. She couldn’t remember exactly what had drawn her to this girl, what made her want to hold her hand forever.

But... she had to admit, everything about this girl drew her in.

“Love begins without reason, and grows ever deeper,” Song Zijin said, looking at Tang Shiying, and suddenly kissed her.

“Mmm…”

…

After a while, Song Zijin finally released her and gazed at Tang Shiying with indulgence. “All right, get some sleep now.”

Tang Shiying nodded and slowly drifted off to sleep in Song Zijin’s arms.

…

Tang Shiying remained dazed for a long time before she came to herself. She glared at Song Zijin, exclaiming angrily, “Song Zijin! Shameless!”

“Quiet down, the room isn’t soundproof.” Song Zijin’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. She leaned close to Tang Shiying’s ear and whispered, “If Mom and Dad hear us and misunderstand, what will we do? Oh, and that was a good morning kiss—do you want to give me a bedtime kiss to make up for last night?”

“No need, let’s go eat first.” Tang Shiying, her face as red as a monkey’s bottom, hurriedly covered her cheeks and ran out of the room to breakfast downstairs.

But... that girl, in the end, never truly belonged to her...

PS: This couple really does have some angst in the middle, but it’s not too bad.

Another night spent updating—see you tomorrow~
