Chapter 269

Li Qingxue got up, picked up a packet of disposable shampoo, tore it open, and squeezed a few packs onto Lin Wanning's head. "Your hair is long, mine is short. There’s always so much left over, so don’t waste it."

"Wanning, that’s too much! The foam is getting in my eyes."

"Oh, just rinse it off first."

As Lin Wanning started rinsing, Li Qingxue squatted behind her, and through the gap between her legs, she clearly saw the wall opposite.

This discovery confirmed that she hadn’t been mistaken earlier, and she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand.

Wanning has really become a woman...

It had only been two days since they last met...

Her initial surprise turned into curiosity. Li Qingxue sank back into the bathtub, wondering who could have claimed Wanning’s body in such a short time.

Yesterday, Lin Wanning mentioned feeling tired—could it be because of...

At this thought, Li Qingxue’s cheeks flushed, and she became even more certain. She really hadn’t expected Wanning to be so quick.

She couldn’t help but chuckle.

Hearing Li Qingxue’s laughter, Lin Wanning asked, "What are you giggling about?"

Li Qingxue raised an eyebrow, putting on a look that said, "I see you’re trying to play it cool. Let’s see how long you can keep that up."

A bride must eventually meet her in-laws. Although Wanning wasn’t a bride and she wasn’t an in-law, Li Qingxue thought that Wanning couldn’t hide for long.

After all, they had already been intimate; it was only a matter of time before they had to introduce each other.

She was genuinely curious about who this person was that could win over Wanning so quickly.

Seeing Li Qingxue’s teasing expression, Lin Wanning stepped closer, wearing a look that said she could see right through her. "That smile of yours can’t mean anything good. Are you planning to pull a prank on me again?"

"If you don’t tell me, I might just..." At this point, her hands began to wander over Li Qingxue’s delicate body.

The tingling sensation made it hard for Li Qingxue to maintain her composure. She couldn’t pretend to be serious anymore and laughed, "Wanning, are you in love?"

The moment those words left her lips, Lin Wanning’s hands froze, and she awkwardly chuckled, "No way."

Though Lin Wanning’s hands only stiffened for a moment, it was enough for Li Qingxue to notice, given they were resting on her own body.

"Still trying to fool me? Are you afraid I’ll steal your boyfriend?" Li Qingxue teased.

"Look at the marks on your body. Who gets scrubbed in such a sensitive spot like the collarbone? And the most crucial part is your legs..."

Lin Wanning’s smile faltered as she instinctively glanced at her own legs, suddenly recalling that Li Qingxue had once joked about Hu Yuying transitioning from girlhood to womanhood...

How could she have forgotten that?

Her heart raced, and she bit her lip, looking at Li Qingxue. "Qingxue, please don’t tell anyone about this, not even my brother or Yuying."

"Don’t worry, you know I can keep a secret," Li Qingxue replied, still pleased with herself for figuring out that Lin Wanning had a boyfriend, completely missing the fleeting look of anxiety on Wanning’s face.

Lin Wanning shot her a glance. It was precisely because she knew how loose-lipped Li Qingxue could be that she had said that.

"Qingxue, many people don’t think highly of us. I don’t want to expose this relationship too soon."

"So I really need you to keep it under wraps."

Seeing Lin Wanning’s serious demeanor was rare, Li Qingxue also became serious, sensing that Wanning must have her reasons.

As a friend, she naturally wanted the best for her.

She immediately assured her that she wouldn’t say a word...

Looking at Li Qingxue’s earnest expression, Lin Wanning let out a quiet sigh of relief. Although Qingxue loved to have fun, she knew how to prioritize. The more serious Lin Wanning appeared, the more it would weigh on Qingxue’s mind, and she wouldn’t blurt anything out.

Having spent so much time together, they understood each other’s personalities well. It was their compatibility that allowed them to have such a close friendship.

In response to Li Qingxue’s solemn promise, Lin Wanning gently hugged her. "Thank you."

Feeling the comfort of Lin Wanning’s embrace, Li Qingxue smiled. "What’s there to thank me for? We’re good friends! If he ever dares to treat you poorly, I’ll definitely stand up for you."

A smile crept onto Lin Wanning’s lips as she whispered softly, "He’s really great... really great..."

"Can you tell me what it’s like to be intimate with a man?"

"I asked Ah Ying before, but she blushed and didn’t know how to answer." Li Qingxue asked curiously, as people often want to dig deeper into the unknown.

Both of her friends had boyfriends and had transformed from girls into women.

This curiosity was even stronger.

"It can be a bit painful, but there’s also an indescribable pleasure—pain and joy intertwined..."

The first time, she took the initiative to be on top, and perhaps due to her inexperience, that was how she felt.

The second time, she had annoyed him a bit, and he was so rough, it felt like he wanted to crush her into his body—it was raw, almost like a release...

"But it’s also a very wonderful experience." Lin Wanning recalled how gentle her brother had been that day; every movement, every kiss brought a dual delight of body and soul.

Especially at that crucial moment, it felt like she was floating in a sea of clouds, lying on a soft cloud, rising and falling, making her want to drown in it...

Listening to Lin Wanning’s description, Li Qingxue took a deep breath, her legs instinctively crossing, her collarbone arching beautifully like a butterfly with the deep inhalation.

Seeing Li Qingxue’s reaction, Lin Wanning couldn’t help but laugh. They were both at such a blossoming age, the most beautiful years, filled with hormones and curiosity about the opposite sex.

Such reactions were completely normal and easily made one blush.

"Do you want to experience the feeling of flying to the clouds?" Lin Wanning whispered in Li Qingxue’s ear.

Her mischievous hand began to wander slowly over Li Qingxue’s soft body—neck, collarbone, lower abdomen...

Especially when she reached the lower abdomen, Li Qingxue’s breathing noticeably quickened, and her crossed legs tightened even more.

But reason ultimately prevailed.

Li Qingxue grabbed Lin Wanning’s hand, her cheeks flushed, unsure if it was from shyness, the emotions swirling inside her, or just the heat.

"We can’t do this."

Her sparkling eyes flickered. "I want to give this wonderful experience to someone I truly like."

As she said this, she couldn’t help but recall the time she was in a boat with Long Aotian, leaning against his shoulder while he just smiled at her...

That smile had become a bit blurry in her memory, but for some reason, even if she couldn’t remember it clearly, thinking back to that moment still brought a little joy to her heart...

Seeing the light in Li Qingxue’s eyes, Lin Wanning seemed to sense her emotions at that moment.

But she wasn’t Li Qingxue.

Her own life had been a mess from the start—abandoned by her parents, the warmth of her grandparents, her biological mother’s return leading her back into another chaotic life, and the birth of her brother completely isolating her from their world...

So she had nothing to lose; it couldn’t possibly get worse than it already was.

Even if this love was hidden from the light, she had never regretted it.

Li Qingxue, on the other hand, was born into a wonderful family. Her parents were not old-fashioned, and as their only child, she received all their love.

She was like a little princess, always cherished by her loved ones.

She had her own pride, which allowed her to possess such a beautiful quality—fearless in love and hate, carefree.

In a way, she and Long Aotian were the most similar...

But there was no regret, and no "what if"...

Her smile was so beautiful that it could overshadow everything, yet there were also regrets that didn’t belong to her kind of beauty.

After finishing her bath and tidying up, Lin Wanning felt that her body finally belonged to her completely.

This lightness made her stretch lazily.

"Let’s go see how Yuying and Long Aotian are doing with the gardening," Li Qingxue said, stretching her back with a smile.

"Sounds good. Let’s grab some snacks to take with us."

The afternoon was just right for some snacks, soaking up the sun, and chatting—it was perfect.

Arriving at the courtyard, they pushed open the gate and walked right in.
