Roulan couldn't help but groan in annoyance as the talk between her and Huiqing got interrupted yet again.
She stands up, ready to confront the person who interrupted them with her eyes glaring, but she quickly widens them in realization.
"Is that how you greet your principal?"
Huiqing looked behind her and saw Mr. Wu standing in front of them with his arms crossed on his chest.
The door opened and brought in Lanfen and Yu, who quickly went towards Roulan before showing respect to the older man.
"Mr. Wu, what are you doing here?"
"Can't I be here?"
The older man looks at Yu as he raises an eyebrow, questioning the girl at the sudden and obvious answer.
"I am here to look for Ms. Li."
Roulan's ears perked up at the sudden call for her name. She looks at the three before walking in front of the principal, bowing down to show her respect.
"Am I in trouble?"
Mr. Wu looks at her up and down before shaking his head and nodding as if telling her to follow her towards somewhere private.
Roulan looks behind her to see the three with their eyebrows furrowed, not knowing why the principal suddenly wants her presence.
"What could that be?"
"Relax; maybe he just wanted you to do something."
Huiqing went in her direction and caressed her arms. Roulan sighs and shakes her head, her hands quickly going towards Huiqing's, and she runs her thumbs on the back of her palm.
"I'll be right back."
Roulan closes her eyes before she brings them towards her lips, and she places a quick peck on the girl's back hand.
She smiles widely and opens her eyes, seeing the red hue starting to conquer the smaller girl's pale face.
She pulls away from her hold as she walks towards the door, looking back towards her friends, who are holding teasing smiles towards her.
-
Roulan stops for awhile as she looks at the principal's office and contemplates whether to walk in or not.
What did she do wrong? Even though she's tired at times because of the constant review and trying to comply with all of her missing activities because of all the happenings in her life, she still manages to get the required grade she needs to stay on scholarship.
She also never gets in trouble because surely that'll affect her scholarship, even though she wanted to go on and punch Chang at the constant disgusted face he's giving to Huiqing.
Roulan sighs and knocks on the door, hearing a faint come in coming from the older man from earlier on the rooftop.
Well, what can she say? She'll die of curiosity if she continues to stand outside the door.
She opens the door, and two familiar faces greet her, her eyebrows furrowing at their appearance.
"What are they doing here, Mr. Wu?"
Roulan closed the door as she went towards the other side of the room, her eyes going between Shihong and Yanmei.
"Hey, come here. It's not like we're not going to be a family."
Yanmei uncrosses her arms on her chest, glaring at Roulan as she walks towards the taller girl and grabs her wrist, dragging her to stand beside her.
"Ms. Li, Mr. Zhao here wanted to take you out for a week because of an important matter."
Mr. Wu spoke, his eyes looking directly towards Roulan as the girl furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Shihong.
"Where are we even going?"
She asks, her left hand going towards Yanmei's right one as she holds it firmly, not wanting the older yet smaller woman to do something in front of Mr. Wu and her father.
"We're going to combine the two of you."
"Huh?"
Roulan looks at him confused, not knowing what he's talking about. Shihong raises an eyebrow.
Did Roulan pretend not to know what he meant, or did she seriously not have any idea?
Yanmei, who was cuddling Roulan's right limbs, sat down on the couch. Her hands reach towards Roulan's shirt as she pushes the girl down to sit beside her.
Roulan stumbles, and she sits down with a loud thud, not expecting Yanmei to even reach towards her and forcing her to sit down.
"We're getting married, dumbass."
She said this as she went back to dive into Roulan's arms. The taller girl widens her eyes at the sudden news.
She thought the wedding would be in a few more months and that she'd suffer for a few months in Yanmei's hands.
But she didn't expect it to be this early.
"What!? Isn't it a little early for that?"
Her eyes went towards Shihong as the man shrugged his shoulders, his arms crossing on his chest.
"My daughter wants it fast."
"So we can have our honeymoon faster."
Yanmei continues, her eyes looking at Roulan with excitement at what's to come on their honeymoon.
Roulan's mouth opened, and her hands quickly pushed Yanmei away, not wanting to hear anything about honeymoons or sex in general.
"You're thinking about that again?"
Roulan scooted a little away from Yanmei as the older woman nodded, her head turning towards her with a glare as she huffed in annoyance.
"Dad, can you two leave us alone?"
Shihong looks at Roulan and Yanmei. The taller woman gets cornered as she glances at the father, shaking her head as if pleading with the man to not leave them alone.
The man sighs and can only shake his head, his eyes looking towards Mr. Wu as the older man nods and walks towards the door.
"What? Shihong! Help me here!"
Shihong looks back behind him as Roulan's eyes start to get teary. They both made eye contact with each other before it was cut off as Mr. Wu closed the door.
"Mr. Zhao, we can go to the cafeteria and talk about some important things."
The man mentioned nodded his head as he stepped aside and followed Mr. Wu in the direction of the cafeteria.
Roulan looks in front of her and gulps, seeing Yanmei's glaring eyes as the girl crosses her arms on her chest.
"Why do you need to act like I would do something to you?"
"Because you look like it...?"
Yanmei scoffs, her hand uncrossing as she approaches Roulan. The girl, being scared and confused about what the older might do, scooted until her back hit the arm rest.
"Can you relax a little? I just wanted to cuddle with you."
Yanmei stands up and straddles Roulan's lap, her arms circling around the girl's neck as she brings her face towards her shoulder.
"This is so much better."
Yanmei sighs in relief as she closes her head, humming at the warmth the taller girl is giving her.
Roulan sighs in relief, her back leaning at the arm rest as she puts her arms around the petite girl's waist, not wanting her to get angry more.
"Why would you need to scare your father and the principal out?"
Roulan's voice lowered its volume as she closed her eyes, getting a little tired from the interaction she had with everyone in just a day.
She lays a little bit on the couch, fixing her position as well as Yanmei's, who lied on top of her.
"Do you want them to see us cuddling?"
"Is it bad?"
Yanmei looks up and sees Roulan's eyes closed, her mouth lifting on the sides as she admires the taller girl in front of her.
"Yes."
Silence engulfed their atmosphere as Yanmei continued to look at the girl. Her eyes gawked at the beauty that lay below her.
"Stop staring; I can't take a nap."
"So you felt safe in my arms and suddenly felt like sleeping?"
"Don't be so full of yourself; the interactions drained me."
