One Kiss, Then Another

A younger top who plays the pig to eat the tiger x a cool, intellectual older bottom. Both are pure in body and mind. Happy ending.

Xi Manchu has two secrets.

First, she hates her father because she's an illegitimate child.

Second, she dislikes men, but she's never dated a woman.

One day, her half-sister calls to say their sleazy dad is up to his old philandering tricks again.

With nothing but idle curiosity, Xi Manchu wants to see who could be blind and foolish enough to go for him. But when she sees the photo, she's stunned! It's the muse whose looks she's admired for years, ever since she first started checking out Haifan's official website!

So, for the first time in her life, she asks her dad to pull strings and gets a junior assistant position in the group's brand department. As she hoped, she also gets to meet the rumored lover of her father: Mo Jinyu, the youngest dean of the Haifan Arts School.

On a business trip, Xi Manchu secretly gets Mo Jinyu drunk, hoping to coax a few honest words about her love life out of her.

But then...

"Dean Mo, how are you such a good drinker? How can you drink so much? Though that's a good thing. They won't be able to take advantage of you."

"Dean Mo, you, do you know you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met? Even more beautiful than my mom was when she was young. I... I'd be a pig if I were lying to you."

On the way back to the hotel, Xi Manchu is tipsy but sincere as she praises Mo Jinyu the whole way.

Once inside, she clings to Mo Jinyu like an octopus. She means to say, "Don't let that sleazy man, that sleazy old man, trick you," but what comes out is, "Mo Jinyu, are you blind? How can you be blind?"

The next day...

"I'm sorry, Dean Mo. I drank too much last night."

"It's all right."

"Um, I think I also kissed you..."

Xi Manchu is a nervous wreck.

"That's all right, too." Mo Jinyu is as magnanimous as ever, her voice so calm you'd think they'd never kissed. "We're both girls."

Xi Manchu is miserable and frustrated about losing her first kiss, and hides in the bathroom to cry all morning.

Because she's really fallen for women.

And the person who made her fall doesn't even think it's a big deal!!

[Key points]

Eight-year age gap. The illegitimate daughter is real, the rumored lover is not.

The sleazy father doesn't appear much.

A few male supporting characters may appear when the plot requires it, but neither heroine gets involved with men.

This story is connected to Hard to Pursue and Overdue, but its timeline is set in a world where same-sex couples can't marry.

Theme: If you want to know if you like her, kiss her. If you want to know if you love her, kiss her again. Over and over.
