hug

"Lingyue is really lucky."

As the doorbell rang, Lu Xiaoxue wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she stood there smiling at Lu Lingyue.

Lu Lingyue felt like the woman in front of her was a demon!

The kind of demon who smiles while slowly tearing her prey apart!

"I—I'm going to open the door!"

Lu Lingyue immediately ran, not giving Lu Xiaoxue a chance to grab her.

Lu Xiaoxue crossed her arms in front of her chest, watching Lu Lingyue's flustered retreat, and couldn't help but laugh.

"What a cute loli."

Lu Lingyue practically rushed to the door, feeling like she was escaping from a demon. She desperately needed someone to stand in her way, so without thinking, she opened the door.

"Eh?!"

"Eh?!"

The person standing outside was none other than Xie Shuangning, with her black hair!

Because of the earlier interruption with the chubby man, Lu Lingyue had forgotten that Xie Shuangning was the editor Lu Xiaoxue was expecting to visit today, so seeing her at the door was a pleasant surprise.

Xie Shuangning, equally surprised, hadn't expected to meet the "little girl" here.

She pushed up her frameless glasses with a slender, delicate hand and exclaimed, "Did I knock on the wrong door? How did you end up here, little one?"

Then, she opened her arms for a suffocating hug.

Lu Lingyue felt her little head trapped between two large, soft objects, and the suffocating sensation made her head spin.

But fortunately, just before Lu Lingyue almost passed out, Lu Xiaoxue arrived at the door.

"Shuangning, you're here."

When Lu Xiaoxue arrived at the door, she saw Xie Shuangning warmly hugging Lu Lingyue, with Lu Lingyue looking like she might collapse.

Seeing Lu Lingyue in another woman's arms, Lu Xiaoxue smiled but raised an eyebrow, her emotions leading her to immediately interrupt their intimate gesture.

"How do you two know each other?"

Lu Xiaoxue smiled slightly, then gently pulled the two apart to ask.

Xie Shuangning, surprised to see Lu Xiaoxue step out from behind the door, released Lu Lingyue.

"Eh? Xiaoxue, you know the little one?"

"Lingyue/Little one, what's going on here?"

Both Lu Xiaoxue and Xie Shuangning turned to look at Lu Lingyue.

Lu Lingyue had just regained her breath, but not enough to speak. She felt dizzy, like there were stars swirling above her head, and she nearly fainted again.

When she regained full consciousness, she found herself in the living room, with Lu Xiaoxue and Xie Shuangning sitting on either side of her.

"I... I can explain!"

Lu Lingyue looked around, noticing that neither of the women seemed ready to speak. She raised her hand, ready to confess.

Eh?

But she hadn't done anything strange, so why confess?!

"Shuangning, this is my sister, Lu Lingyue."

Lu Xiaoxue spoke first, explaining to Xie Shuangning.

Xie Shuangning's purple eyes sparkled with surprise.

"Ah, so she's your sister! No wonder your hair colors are so similar. I just met the little one in the supermarket, and when that pig-head man was bothering me, she helped me escape!"

Lu Xiaoxue knew about the "pig-head" situation, and she gave Lu Lingyue a meaningful look.

"My little Lingyue is such a brave girl!"

Lu Lingyue: ?!

She was clearly Lu Xiaoxue's brother!

Wait, now she should be called a sister!

This was utterly wrong!

"I..."

Lu Lingyue was about to speak when she felt a hand gently pinching her waist, seemingly reminding her not to speak out of turn.

Lu Lingyue knew immediately it was Lu Xiaoxue's doing!

She looked at Lu Xiaoxue and saw a beaming smile on her face.

A chill ran down her spine.

From her experience with Lu Xiaoxue, the brighter the smile, the more serious the situation.

So, seeing Lu Xiaoxue smile as brightly as the sun, Lu Lingyue chose to keep quiet.

"But Xiaoxue, I remember you had a brother? Why haven't I seen him today?"

Xie Shuangning looked around and asked curiously.

Lu Lingyue hadn't expected Xie Shuangning to remember her former self. She was touched!

But the next sentence wiped away all her warm feelings.

"He's not home? That's great."

Xie Shuangning seemed genuinely happy. She reached out, trying to hug the sitting Lu Lingyue again.

But Lu Xiaoxue was quicker, pulling Lu Lingyue up from the sofa.

"Yeah, he won't be coming back."

Xie Shuangning didn't get her hug, but upon hearing that the male college student would never return, she stood up happily and pulled Lu Lingyue into another hug.

"Good! I like little Lingyue more than any college student!"

In fact, it was Lu Lingyue, the very college student herself, who was pulled into Xie Shuangning's embrace again. Just as she was about to faint, Lu Xiaoxue gently pulled her away, allowing her to escape from Xie Shuangning's grasp.

"Lingyue hasn't made lunch yet. Let's go cook."

Though Lu Xiaoxue's voice was light, Lu Lingyue could clearly see the displeasure in her eyes!

And Xie Shuangning, seeing Lu Lingyue escape from her arms, had a flash of something not so friendly in her purple eyes.

Lu Lingyue felt the atmosphere in the room shift. She quickly nodded, "I'll go cook."

She then left between the two women, like escaping from a nightmare.

On the left was a woman who often made her feel suffocated with softness; on the right was one who could do strange things at any moment. Being stuck in between them was terrifying!

As she entered the kitchen, she noticed that both women had followed her.

Lu Xiaoxue and Xie Shuangning stood in front of her, their blue and purple eyes fixed on her.

Lu Xiaoxue had a mischievous smile, while Xie Shuangning blushed and wore a shy smile.

Lu Lingyue couldn't help but stagger backward.

"What... what are you two planning to do?!"
