"Tangtang, Tangtang." Que Tang, shaken awake, opened her eyes blearily and caught the hand on her shoulder. "Yaoyao, what is it today? Didn't you say you were going to class on your own?" She felt, once again, that giving her spare key to someone else so easily had been a truly unwise decision. "Tangtang. I'll go by myself in the morning, but will you come pick me up after school?" Mu Yao, dressed in her school uniform, spoke coaxingly. "...Aren't high schoolers supposed to go shopping or grab snacks with their classmates after school? Wouldn't it be strange for me to pick you up?" Que Tang blinked slowly, her consciousness struggling between wakefulness and the fog of sleep. "I like you best, so I only want to be with you," Mu Yao declared with a bluntness that left even someone as detached as Que Tang unable to parry. "I like you best too... so I've decided to let you live like a normal high schooler..." Que Tang pulled the duvet over her head, intending to go back to sleep, but a second later, she was being shaken vigorously again. "Tangtang, do you like me the same way I like you?" Mu Yao’s youthful, crisp voice rang out, filled with joy and surprise. "Mm..." came the muffled, indistinct reply. "Tangtang!" Mu Yao stamped her foot in a girlish huff. "Come pick me up. Today is my birthday." "Birthday... You're eighteen... You're an adult, you can go home by yourself." Que Tang fell silent, seemingly asleep. Seeing that Que Tang refused to agree no matter what, Mu Yao furrowed her brows and turned to leave in a fit of pique. Que Tang suddenly sat up in bed and grabbed her hand, her face pale with alarm. "No, eighteen... you can't." "You can't!" Que Tang snapped her eyes open and cried out. The next moment, her gaze met a pair of dark pupils. "Tang? Did you have a nightmare?" Yu Luoyan, who had been awake for some time, quickly pulled her into a comforting embrace. Once Que Tang recognized the figure before her, she reached out and hugged her tightly. "Luoyan..." "What’s wrong?" Yu Luoyan asked with concern. "...It’s nothing," Que Tang paused, murmuring into the crook of the other woman's neck. Yu Luoyan didn't press her. She gently patted her back and changed the subject. "Are you still going to work today?" Que Tang stiffened as the long-ignored soreness suddenly flooded her limbs. A moment later, remembering Yu Luoyan’s strange appearance from before, she pulled back from her neck to look into her eyes. Black? Que Tang frowned. *That purple... I must have seen it wrong.* Having convinced herself of this, she finally spoke. "I should still go." She made a move to get out of the embrace, but as soon as she moved, she winced in discomfort. Seeing this, Yu Luoyan smiled and pulled her back. "Just rest at home. Yu Xia won't go bankrupt just because you're away for a day." Since the true boss of Yu Xia had said so, Que Tang stopped resisting and lay back down to catch up on sleep. The night before, the other woman had been relentless, as if finally being liberated. It wasn't until just before dawn, when Que Tang had fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion, that she had finally been allowed to rest. Yu Luoyan watched as Que Tang fell back into a deep sleep almost instantly. With a faint smile, she picked up the robe hanging nearby, put it on, and walked out of the room after freshening up. Little Mushroom had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Seeing her come out, it immediately jumped up happily. "Meow~" "You must be hungry," Yu Luoyan said, picking it up and stroking its head. "Meow~ The female lead's Yuri Level has reached eighty, but her Love Level for the supporting character of this world is only sixty-five," Little Mushroom said, blinking its eyes to act cute. "Is that okay?" Yu Luoyan narrowed her eyes, which had turned purple once again. "It’s normal. Because Tangtang has *me* in her heart, she cannot fully commit to another relationship." She stroked the cat's back. "It will all be over soon. In just a little while longer, I’ll be able to return to Tangtang’s side." Thinking of the panicked, lost look on Que Tang’s face when she woke up, her expression darkened slightly. "Meow~" Little Mushroom rubbed against her arm as if to offer comfort. "I'm fine." She patted Little Mushroom’s head. Que Tang woke up to a delicious aroma. She tossed and turned in bed for a while before finally giving up and throwing off the covers. "You're up?" Yu Luoyan entered carrying a tray full of food and sat on the edge of the bed near Que Tang. "Hungry? Eat something first. I’ve drawn a hot bath; you can soak and rest in a bit." Not expecting the other woman to be so considerate, Que Tang dithered for a moment before pulling on her nightgown and slowly sitting up. Looking closely at the food on the tray, every dish looked exquisite, even garnished with various herbs and spices for a refined presentation. "Don't just stare at it. Or... do you want me to feed you?" Yu Luoyan’s slightly upturned eyes, combined with her current smile, looked particularly... punchable. "No need. I can do it myself." Que Tang immediately refused, taking the tray and placing it on the low cabinet beside her. "Everything okay at the office today?" The other woman had been so passionate the night before that Que Tang had been unable to cope. *Am I really making her that... insatiable?* "Yes, indeed! Because the Host is always playing hard to get—saying no with her mouth while her body honestly cooperates. But every time it gets to the critical moment, you suddenly back out, so the Great Supporting Character has been waiting for a long time. Meow." Little Mushroom appeared instantly to answer. "...Can you stop eavesdropping on my thoughts?" "I can, meow~" Little Mushroom replied perfunctorily. "By the way, the Intimacy Value is already at fifty. Once it increases by another fifty, you can get an exquisite little gift! Keep it up, Host, meow~" "You've probably had too many dried fish snacks lately and gotten bored of them, haven't you?" Que Tang said coldly. "Meow-u~ No, not at all! You can't bully a cat like this!" Little Mushroom wailed. "Hmph." Yu Luoyan sighed upon hearing this. Just as she was about to tease Que Tang for having no sense of romance and thinking only of work, the doorbell rang. The two of them looked at each other for a moment. "Who is it? Do you have an appointment?" Yu Luoyan looked at her. "No, I have no idea." Que Tang shrugged. She clearly didn't have many friends, yet people had been ringing her doorbell frequently lately. Was this some common trope of modern-day web novels? The doorbell rang again. Yu Luoyan, annoyed that their private time was being interrupted, stood up. "Wait." Que Tang pulled her back. "At least change your clothes." She looked at the nearly translucent nightgown Yu Luoyan was wearing. It would be a disaster if someone saw her like that. Turning back to see the dissatisfaction on Que Tang’s face thoroughly pleased Yu Luoyan. She curled her lips, leaned down to kiss the other woman's forehead, and then went to change her clothes before leaving the room as requested. She picked up Little Mushroom, who was lingering by the bedroom door, walked to the entrance, and opened it. "Song Aotian?" She frowned, glaring at the man outside. "Luoyan... you... you're actually at Que Tang’s house?" Looking haggard and disheveled, he stared at Yu Luoyan in disbelief. He had been shocked when he heard Que Tang had jumped ship to Yu Xia, unable to understand how the situation had developed this way. He had hired a private investigator to tail the two of them, and yesterday, he had received the report. It stated that the two had already moved in together. He refused to believe that his former wife would get involved with his former lover; after all, Yu Luoyan had always been so proud and aloof. But as he looked at the photos of Yu Luoyan gazing at Que Tang with eyes full of tenderness, he could no longer deceive himself. So, he had gone to Yu Xia early this morning to talk to her, only to be told that neither of them had come to work today. He went back to their former home, but the butler politely told him the young mistress wasn't there. Finally, he had no choice but to come to Que Tang’s place... And there he saw the truth he least wanted to know. His ex-wife and his ex-lover were together. "Mr. Song, is there something you need?" Yu Luoyan showed not a shred of politeness, making no effort to hide the annoyance on her face. "Luoyan, are you living with Que Tang just to get revenge on me?" Song Aotian asked, his lips trembling. Que Tang had rejected him so heartlessly—was it because Yu Luoyan was interfering? But he had truly fallen in love with Yu Luoyan again... He clung to the faint hope that perhaps Yu Luoyan was only getting close to Que Tang to spite him. "Revenge on you?" Yu Luoyan’s eyes widened exaggeratedly. "You think far too highly of yourself, Mr. Song. I never realized you were such a narcissist." She sneered. "Que Tang and I are indeed together, and she is mine. But none of that has anything to do with you. Oh, actually, I should thank you for introducing me to her. Only then did I realize she truly is someone one can't help but fall in love with. Are you satisfied with that answer?" "Yu Luoyan!" The fury of being mocked caused all his negative emotions to surge. "You two... you actually betrayed me..." "Betrayed?" Yu Luoyan’s face darkened. "Weren't you the one who betrayed me first? Isn't it laughable to turn around and accuse me of betrayal now? Besides, we’ve been divorced for ages. There’s no such thing as betrayal anymore." "Divorced? No wonder... no wonder you signed the divorce papers so decisively and heartlessly. Were you already involved with Que Tang back then?" Song Aotian pounded on the iron security door. "Please don't assume we are as filthy as you are." Que Tang walked slowly to the door. Seeing her struggling, Yu Luoyan immediately put the cat down and put her arm around Que Tang, letting her lean against her. Seeing this, the fire of rage in Song Aotian’s heart burned even hotter. "Luoyan is a wonderful woman. You once had her but didn't know how to cherish her. Now that you've remembered her and found that she doesn't love you, you turn around and blame us. Don't you find yourself pathetic? To think I actually liked a man like you once—I truly misjudged you. You and Luoyan are divorced. She is my partner now. Please stop bothering us." Que Tang no longer bothered to hide her relationship with Yu Luoyan. Since they had already crossed that line and the entire company was speculating about them anyway, there was no point in self-deception. "You!" Song Aotian was red-faced and thick-necked with rage, but every word she said hit the mark, leaving him unable to refute her. Finally, he kicked the door in anger. "I won't let you get away with this!" He turned and stormed off. "That... seemed like an admission of our relationship. You don't mind, do you?" Que Tang asked, a bit late. "I don't mind at all. Do you know what I'm thinking right now?" Yu Luoyan led her away from the door, closed it, and pressed her forehead against Que Tang’s. "It sounds like it’s probably not anything good." Que Tang’s sixth sense made a rare appearance. "I'm thinking... about making it so you can't get out of bed for three days. Tang." Recalling Que Tang’s answer just now, although many things were still unclear... she was still incredibly happy. "..." *She’s not just insatiable anymore; she’s lost her mind,* Que Tang analyzed calmly. ***
