Ye Shuang knew it was impossible to have Keke sit on his lap. Seeing the mischievous, cat-like expression on Keke’s face, he thought for a moment and reluctantly sat down, letting Bai Yuyou take his lap instead.
"Hehe." Tang Keke grinned triumphantly at Bai Yuyou upon seeing this.
Checkmate.
Once seated, Bai Yuyou stretched her limbs comfortably, resting her head against Ye Shuang’s neck and taking a deep breath.
"Don’t sniff around, I’ve been sweating," Ye Shuang said, feeling her nuzzle like a puppy.
"It smells nice," Bai Yuyou murmured, her eyes half-lidded.
"Alright, sit still."
"Ye Shuang, put your hands on my stomach," Bai Yuyou requested. She loved the feeling of being held by him—it was warm and safe.
Ye Shuang let her cling to his arm, but the moment he lowered it, he froze. Something felt… off.
He glanced down, his gaze lingering for a few seconds before he abruptly asked, "Yuyou, where’s your bra?"
"Drying," she replied.
Ye Shuang: "…"
He pinched the bridge of his nose. Did she really come out like this?
He turned to Tang Keke. "Keke, how could you let Yuyou run around like this? Even with this sports jacket on—"
"Don’t blame me! Yuyou couldn’t wait for her clothes to dry and rushed out to find you!" Keke defended herself, scratching her head. "Besides, we only brought one set of clothes…"
Wait, so you—
Ye Shuang’s eyes instinctively flicked downward—
"Zip!" The sound of a zipper being pulled up echoed as Tang Keke, her face flushed, yanked the jacket’s zipper higher. "A-Anyway, it’s not my fault!"
"Keke’s clothes are drying too," Bai Yuyou added.
"Y-You didn’t have to mention that!"
"Alright, keep the zipper up," Ye Shuang said, reaching over to adjust her jacket.
"It’s fine. Ye Shuang can touch."
"That’s not the point."
"Don’t you like it?"
"That’s not the issue either." Ye Shuang sighed, but before he could react, Bai Yuyou grabbed his hand and pressed it firmly against her chest.
"You have to like it. You can’t dislike me," she said seriously.
"W-Wait—!" Ye Shuang stiffened, relieved that the corner was secluded and no students were around.
Otherwise, he’d be infamous across campus by tomorrow.
Tang Keke’s jaw dropped. "Wow, Yuyou… that was bold."
Seeing Ye Shuang pull his hand away, Bai Yuyou’s expression dimmed, her usual perky strand of hair drooping.
"Don’t do that again, understand?" Ye Shuang said.
"Mm." She fell silent, seemingly subdued.
Satisfied with her compliance, Ye Shuang gently steadied her by the waist.
"Ye Shuang… did I do something wrong?" she suddenly asked.
"You didn’t, but you forgot what I taught you."
"I remember."
"Then why—"
"You’re different," Bai Yuyou insisted. "I wouldn’t let anyone else touch me."
Ye Shuang: "…"
His eyes softened with exasperation as he pinched her cheek. This was exactly why she needed more time to grow up.
Dependence and love weren’t the same thing.
"Go back and change into your dried clothes first," he said. Arguing with her now was pointless.
"Okay."
"Keke, take Yuyou back."
"Got it."
Bai Yuyou obediently stood and followed Tang Keke, though her mood was clearly somber.
"See, Yuyou? You got scolded by Brother," Keke said, linking arms with her. "You can’t rush things. Take it step by step."
"I know…" Bai Yuyou murmured. "But I’m scared of losing Ye Shuang."
"You won’t! He’ll always stay with you."
Bai Yuyou paused. "Really?"
"Huh?"
"That Ye Shuang will stay with me forever."
Tang Keke scratched her head. "Of course! Worst case, you can just stick to him like glue. He’d never abandon you."
"How?" Bai Yuyou asked. "With actual glue?"
"Uh…" Keke tilted her head. "I dunno. Maybe, like, have a baby or something? Like in the news…"
Realizing her slip, she quickly backtracked. "Forget I said that! Let’s just go get our clothes. They should be dry by now."
"Mm." But Bai Yuyou seemed deep in thought.
As the two walked toward the locker room, they noticed a field of drones sprawled across the courtyard.
"What’s that?" Bai Yuyou asked.
"Drones. Probably for a performance. They’re flying cameras," Keke explained. "Like the security cam at your place, but airborne."
"Oh…" Bai Yuyou’s eyes lit up. "Keke."
"Yeah?"
"Can we buy a drone?"
"Buy one? Sure, they’re not too expensive." Keke pulled out her phone and checked. "About the price of a smartphone."
"But what do you want it for?"
"To follow Ye Shuang," Bai Yuyou said eagerly. "Then I can watch him all the time."
Tang Keke: "…"
What kind of stalker logic was this?
"Yuyou, you can’t go down the yandere path," Keke warned, patting her shoulder like a seasoned mentor. "Yanderes… don’t get happy endings."
"What’s a yandere?"
"It’s… uh… a terrifying creature."
"Oh?"
Keke suddenly had an idea. "Hey, Yuyou, let me ask you something."
"Mm?"
"If another girl got close to Ye Shuang, would you mind?"
Bai Yuyou blinked. "Who?"
"Anyone, just any girl."
"If it’s Keke or Sister Chen Qin…" She trailed off. If it was someone she liked, she wouldn’t care.
"But what if it’s a girl you don’t know?"
"I… don’t know. But that feeling… it’s bad."
Keke sighed in relief. "Good, good. That’s just jealousy. A yandere would straight-up murder them."
"Why murder?"
"Think about it. If you eliminate everyone near the guy you like, doesn’t that mean he’s all yours?"
Bai Yuyou fell silent, pondering this.
