Talk

"What? No! I find her interesting, ok?"

Yanmei looks at Guang, looking a little offended, as the girl in front of her looks at her as if she told a funny story that is not laughable.

"You're marrying her because she's interesting?"

Guang asks, her utensil pointing towards the older as Yanmei scoffs and puts down the fork she's using.

"You know what, fuck this. I don't know, ok?"

Guang furrowed her eyebrows.

Did she just completely drop the topic without even answering the question she was asking?

It's important to know what Yanmei feels about Roulan because she should set her free if there are no feelings involved.

Even though right now she should really set her free, Yanmei's stubborn.

"So you're marrying her because you find her interesting, yet you don't know what your feelings are towards her?"

Yanmei glares at Guang before she stands up, showing her fist before flipping the younger girl in front of her.

"You're confusing me more."

She said this before walking away, causing the younger one to stand up as well and quickly pack the food they were eating.

"Hey! Wait up!"

She yelled before running towards the older woman's figure.

-

"There she is."

Ai said, pointing at the figure that is sitting at the bench. Roulan looks at the figure closely, and she can't help but sigh in relief, seeing how peaceful Huiqing is sitting.

"You should talk to her because whenever she's on the rooftop, she overthinks a lot."

Ai patted Roulan's shoulder before she left the taller girl, who admires the girl that she's watching.

Roulan couldn't help but feel guilty as she was lying to Huiqing, but she didn't have the confidence or the heart to say everything to the girl.

Huiqing is a fragile individual that should be taken care of, and she deserves everything. Yet Roulan is here not doing what's supposed to be happening because she's stuck with Yanmei.

And the fact that she even promises Shihong, whom she wouldn't admit to anyone but a good man who takes care of her,

With him sending her a few groceries and even helping her with the pending debt she has with the bank.

Roulan sighs in frustration before she opens the door, which causes the girl to look behind her and see the person she wants to talk to.

"Roulan? What are you doing in here?"

Huiqing stands up from the bench, her eyes looking at Roulan with a shock expression that quickly changed into a gentle one.

"I wanted to talk to you."

Roulan said, her eyes looking down at the ground as she stratched her nape, embarrassed to look towards the woman in front.

"About what?"

Huiqing went in front of Roulan and held the taller woman's arms, dragging her towards the bench to have her seated.

Roulan sighs and shakes her head, thinking to herself whether to tell her everything she needs to know or not.

Not wanting to hurt her more, she opened her mouth and was about to tell her everything when the door opened harshly behind them.

Roulan and Huiqing looked at the widely opened door and saw Yanmei with someone unfamiliar following closely behind her.

"I'm telling you, Yanmei, you should con- oh..."

The unfamiliar woman behind Yanmei stops upon seeing Roulan with someone who is a bit familiar to her.

"Yanmei?"

"Roulan."

Yanmei said in a blank tone, looking between Huiqing and the taller girl, who seemed to be a bit caught off guard with the situation unfolding in front of her.

"Yanmei! I didn't see you earlier this morning."

Huiqing went towards the older woman and gave her a hug, smiling at the unfamiliar person, who smiled back at her.

Guang finally knew who the girl was; her eyes were looking towards Yanmei as she sensed something was about to happen between the three.

"I came late; my friend right here begged me to clean her apartment."

"Apartment?"

Huiqing pulled away from the hug, looking between Guang and Yanmei, gasping in the process.

Her hands automatically go towards her mouth as she closes it.

"Right, that's why I didn't see a single photo of you."

Huiqing has her arms automatically cling onto Yanmei's right arm as she drags the girl towards the bench where Roulan is sitting.

She forcefully sat her down, waving her hand as Guang followed the signal Huiqing gave her.

"You must be Yanmei's friend; I'm Huiqing, and that is Roulan."

Huiqing introduces herself as she points to her chest and then points at Roulan. The girl quickly stands up and bows to greet Guang.

"Hey, nice meeting you. Roulan's my name."

Roulan pulled her hand out to offer it to the girl, to which Guang replied with a smile and shook their hands.

"Nice to meet you; I'm Guang, Yanmei's best friend."

Roulan looks at Yanmei in confusion, her eyes scanning between the two best friends, but it quickly changes before Huiqing notices it.

"Cool! Then you must know Yanmei's fiancee?"

Huiqing asks, her eyes looking directly at Guang as her mouth curls into a big, wide smile.

Guang smirks, her eyes looking at Yanmei, before she nods her head.

"Yeah, no."

"What?"

Huiqing furrowed her eyebrows, confused at Guang's answer to her question. The girl in front of her crosses her arms, her body positioning itself towards Yanmei.

"She hasn't introduced me to her."

"Woah, wait, her fiancee's a woman!?"

Huiqing looks at Yanmei as the older woman stands up from the bench, her jaw clenching before she goes towards Guang.

"Bitch, I can't really trust you with anything."

Yanmei grabbed Guang's wrist before she dragged her away, not wanting Huiqing to follow them and ask more about the fiancee.

She carefully talked about Roulan last week, not even revealing her gender, yet Guang has messed things up already.

Huiqing, on the other hand, had her jaw drop to the ground. Her eyes were looking towards Yanmei and Guang, who both went back inside the building to go back down.

"I didn't know Yanmei would be marrying a girl."

Roulan looks at Huiqing, her eyebrows furrowing as her hand sweats, anxious if she already knew who the fiancee is.

"Why?"

She asks, causing the smaller girl to look at her. And causing a lot more nervousness on her part.

Huiqing sat down on the bench, her hand quickly going towards Roulan's left as the taller tried to subtlety retrieve it.

"I don't know; she doesn't scream and looks like it."

Huiqing manages to grab Roulan's left hand, and she intertwines their hands together.

Frown was quick to change her happy aura into a confused one as she felt the hotness and wetness of Roulan's hand.

"What's wrong? Oh right, you were about to tell me something earlier."

Huiqing thinks that the cause of Roulan's sweating hand was something she wanted to talk about with her, so she tightened the hold and caressed it gently.

Her mouth curving into a much more gentle smile, Roulan couldn't help but feel a lot more anxious and guilty, to which she looked away from Huiqing.

"You can tell me anything."

Huiqing held Roulan's other hand and did the same thing, multiplying—if it can still—the nervousness and guilt the taller girl is feeling in front of her.

"Huiqing, I'd like to tell you that-"

And she got interrupted again by the door opening.
