Chapter 661 : So Sweet
"Xiao Ya, are you heading back?"
As they returned to the bustling streets, Ling Ning glanced at Su Ya beside her and asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Yeah, I want to go back and sleep. Yawn~"
After catching such an early flight and tidying up the dorm room upon her return, she really felt like sleeping now. Besides, with the new school term starting soon, her chances for lazy mornings would decrease. That thought made her even sleepier.
Ling Ning nodded lightly and said, "Want me to join you? Totally free of charge~"
"No way." Without a moment's hesitation, Su Ya rejected the seemingly tempting offer.
"Eh! That's such a pity. But if you ever feel the need, just call me anytime. I can rush to your dorm immediately. Whether it's to sleep together or act as a human pillow, I'm up for it! Even if you want me to..."
"Can you have a bit of decency?"
"Decency? That was fed to my pet salted fish ages ago!"
Having experienced Ling Ning's shamelessness many times, Su Ya sighed helplessly. "I'm heading back."
"Alright."
Just as Su Ya was about to leave, she felt a tug on her sleeve. Turning back instinctively to ask what Ling Ning wanted, she suddenly noticed Ling Ning's flawless face drawing closer.
And then...
The surrounding bystanders, curious onlookers enjoying their leisure time, watched in astonishment as the two beautiful women kissed on the roadside. Nobody had expected such boldness from two girls. Amid the rising excitement, some single men could only lament and pound their chests in despair—why were all the beauties going for each other? Was this some kind of hidden message encouraging bromance?
After a long moment, their lips parted.
Su Ya's face turned crimson as she looked at Ling Ning. She had never imagined Ling Ning would do something so brazen in public. Wasn't she afraid of being photographed? Though Su Ya herself didn’t particularly mind, Ling Ning was a professional model and frequently appeared in public spaces. If such photos surfaced, wouldn’t it negatively impact her career?
Seemingly noticing Su Ya's concerns, Ling Ning chuckled softly. "Don't worry. Even if people find out, it’s no big deal. Why can't others know about who I like?"
For some reason, Su Ya felt that Ling Ning seemed particularly confident and domineering at that moment.
"Who... who cares about you? Goodbye!"
Flustered, Su Ya shot Ling Ning a glare before decisively turning and walking away quickly.
Watching Su Ya's retreating figure, Ling Ning licked her lips gently. Su Ya hadn’t resisted. In fact, it had even felt like she was faintly cooperating. As expected, her assumptions were correct—continuing like this, winning Su Ya's heart seemed just around the corner.
Just as Ling Ning was pondering where to head next, she suddenly felt a slight pull on her hem. Turning instinctively, she saw the little girl Dong Xue silently standing behind her, gazing up with wide eyes.
At that moment, Ling Ning's mentor, Yang Bing, also appeared before her. Smiling slyly, Yang Bing teased, "Tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect my disciple to be into girls—and so bold about it, too~"
"Mas... Master, long time no see."
"What do you mean 'long time no see'? You just visited me a while ago for the New Year."
"Haha, that was just a holiday greeting. It’s been a while since then, so saying 'long time no see' isn’t entirely wrong~"
"Fine, whatever you say~"
As she chatted with her master, Ling Ning felt another tug on her hem and suddenly remembered something. She placed a gentle hand on Dong Xue's head and began to stroke it lightly.
The familiar touch made Dong Xue squint her eyes in contentment.
Ling Ning couldn’t help but think that Dong Xue resembled a cat.
Watching her daughter so attached to Ling Ning, Yang Bing smiled helplessly. Her little girl was just too clingy toward Ling Ning for reasons unknown, though it didn’t really matter.
"What brings you here, Master?"
"Nothing much. I just brought Xiao Xue out for a stroll~"
"I see~"
As if struck by a thought, Yang Bing’s sly smile returned. "Seeing how attached Xiao Xue is to you, why don’t I entrust you with this glorious task for a while?"
"Eh?! Master, are you planning to sneak off and have fun?"
"Of course not. I just happened to spot some lovely outfits nearby, so Xiao Xue is all yours~"
"Alright, Master, go shop for clothes. I’ll take care of Xiao Xue~"
After Yang Bing left, Ling Ning thought for a moment before taking Dong Xue's hand and casually strolling along the streets.
Out of the blue, Dong Xue spoke up, "Sister, what does kissing feel like?"
"Huh?!"
Thinking of the way Yang Bing had looked at her earlier, Ling Ning realized that Dong Xue must have witnessed her kiss with Su Ya. It wasn’t strange for a child to be curious and ask such a question.
Ling Ning laughed awkwardly and said, "Well, you'll understand when you grow up~"
"Mom told me you can only kiss someone you like. Can I kiss Sister?"
Hearing Dong Xue's innocent words, Ling Ning chuckled. "Let’s talk about it when you’re a bit older, alright?"
"Emmm..."
Clearly dissatisfied with the answer, Dong Xue pouted subtly to express her discontent.
Ling Ning, however, didn’t dwell on it. Looking around casually, she stepped into a bakery. Sweet treats like donuts were Dong Xue’s favorites, and as long as she had one, there wouldn’t be any issues.
Sure enough, as soon as Dong Xue received the donut, her frown disappeared, and her eyes lit up, completely focused on the sugary delight.
Ling Ning couldn’t help but feel that little girls were so easy to please.
"Let’s find a place to sit and eat, shall we?"
"Okay!"
Leading little loli Dong Xue to a nearby bench, Ling Ning sat down. While Dong Xue eagerly dug into her donut, Ling Ning pulled out her phone to check for any messages.
Just then, she felt Dong Xue squirm a bit on her lap. Before Ling Ning could react, she felt something soft press against her lips.
"So sweet!"
