Cool, celibate Go champion top x soft, sweet, irresistibly alluring commentator bottom

1. Xu Shiwan is famous in the commentary world. She's known for her excellent work, and as the "ultimate blend of innocence and sensuality" among commentators. Everyone agrees she's gorgeous.

But no one expected someone with a face like hers to have a secret crush, and one she'd had since high school.

She planned their reunion carefully, hoping to appear at her best before the woman she had a crush on, Song Yuncheng, the Go world champion. But fate had other plans: at their first meeting after reuniting, her makeup melted and she embarrassed herself completely.

By chance, Song Yuncheng became her "landlady." After seeing how coldly Song Yuncheng rejected other people, Xu Shiwan secretly swore to keep her feelings hidden.

But she never expected this aloof beauty to care about her so much: picking her up from work rain or shine, staying by her side all night while she was hospitalized and hooked up to an IV, and even stealing a kiss on her brow while she slept.

Xu Shiwan began to suspect Song Yuncheng liked her, and was just about to take a step forward when she heard a rumor the next day. Heartbroken, she packed her things and prepared to sneak away.

Song Yuncheng dragged her back and pinned her behind the door, holding her slim waist. Her voice was clear and elegant, like rain and snow melting away, yet strangely captivating.

"Can't you really tell who I like?"

Seeing the bewilderment in Xu Shiwan's eyes, Song Yuncheng leaned closer and touched her earlobe. Her gaze held a deep flame, impossible to read.

"If that's the case, I'll make it more obvious."

Then she took off her gold-rimmed glasses, held the back of Xu Shiwan's head, and kissed her.

2. Song Yuncheng was a Go prodigy who won the world championship at fifteen. She was clever and perceptive, with a cool, beautiful face that made her irresistible to all genders. She was the dream girl of the lesbian community, but few dared to pursue her.

Her cold nature had left too many people bruised.

She had kept her private life under wraps for so long that even her fans wondered if she was asexual.

But once, during a Go lesson, she forgot to turn off her microphone. Her fans heard the dream girl of the lesbian community acting coy with someone:

"Honey, I miss you so much."

Then, one day, someone caught her kissing her girlfriend backstage at a tournament. The woman who seemed like the moon in the sky had desire tinging the corners of her eyes, her voice bewitching:

"Why are you blushing?"

Her girlfriend, kissed until she went weak, had misty eyes and flushed lips. She could only cling to Song Yuncheng's shoulder, like a kitten, lovable and ready to be claimed.

Fans: ???

#You say she's asexual, but she's this alluring??#

3.

Xu Shiwan had many secret identities. She had secretly attended many of Song Yuncheng's matches; the only gift Song Yuncheng accepted during her lowest period had come from Xu Shiwan; Xu Shiwan had also written a collection of essays and a high school diary.

She thought she'd hidden everything well, but one day, on a whim, she flipped through her high school diary.

On the final page were two lines.

The first was what she had written in high school:

The feelings in my diary have no answer, but you've always been part of my youth.

Seven years later, Song Yuncheng replied:

At the end of that desolate midsummer, I found you. And through all the years to come, it will always be you.

The Heiress Regrets It Too Late

Qi Xu's deepest secret was that she'd been secretly in love with someone for years: Fu Ciying, the daughter of her benefactor and a senior two years above her.

But it was only a secret crush.

After all, they were worlds apart.

Qi Xu was timid and insecure, the "invisible person" whose classmates could never remember her name at reunions.

Fu Ciying, on the other hand, was the heiress of the Fu family, a born star and the dream girl of the lesbian community, adored wherever she went. She was a fixture on the school forum, always surrounded by admirers.

Qi Xu had seen Fu Ciying strolling with the school beauty and other department beauties. She had also seen countless outstanding girls confess to her.

Qi Xu could only cower like a rat in a gutter, never daring to step forward.

Then, by chance, the two of them worked together.

Qi Xu ran through the rain to work on projects for her, then endured a high fever of 39 degrees while staying up to finish plans. Together they got through the difficult times. Qi Xu also made memories that belonged to her alone: chasing sunsets with Fu Ciying, listening to the sea breeze, and strolling together on rainy days.

That night, Fu Ciying got drunk and cornered Qi Xu behind the door at the celebration banquet. She held Qi Xu by the waist, her graceful curves pressing against her. Her eyes were alluring and full of affection. Just one look from her could make you weak in the knees. With her natural, seductive charm, she asked:

"Qi Xu, do you like me?"

Qi Xu was nearly drunk on her scent. She bit her lip, not daring to look at her.

But Fu Ciying raised a hand to touch her lips. Her voice was clear and elegant, yet it captured the heart with ease:

"Be good, sweetheart."

Qi Xu heard her say something that made her heart race.

"Want to kiss? Be your big sister's first love?"

That night, Qi Xu wrapped her arms around the woman's waist and finally understood that Fu Ciying's allure wasn't just in her eyes, but in her every movement. Though she was already limp and trembling, she still clutched Qi Xu's hand and begged her:

"Sweetheart... don't stop."

-

No one in their social circle could believe that Fu Ciying had gotten involved with someone they'd never even heard of.

One was the sky, the other the earth. They seemed completely mismatched.

People even bet on whether the relationship would last days or weeks.

But they never expected it to last for years.

Later, people began betting on when the two would get married.

But it was only when Qi Xu was brought into Fu Ciying's inner circle that she realized those people had never even heard of her, and had never taken her seriously.

On Fu Ciying's birthday, Qi Xu took a two-hour high-speed train and a ninety-minute bus ride, carrying a gift. But the attendant stopped her outside, and she didn't even get a sip of water.

And so she stumbled upon the truth:

"That woman, are you really going to take care of her?"

"Is she even worthy?"

"It was just for fun. Don't take it seriously."

So some of the things she'd felt while they were together hadn't been her imagination.

Qi Xu spent the night in the cold wind. At dawn, she threw away the gift she'd spent two months preparing and left without a word.

On her birthday that year, she made a wish: never to see Fu Ciying again.

-

Fu Ciying had made a mistake in the reckless days of her youth. She regretted it, and yet she didn't. That was simply the sort of person she was. But when she saw Qi Xu's engagement banquet, her composure collapsed.

After all these years apart, it was now her turn to look up at the imperious Qi Xu and beg for love.

"Do I have to get down on my knees and beg you?"

"You can."

But Qi Xu's eyes were calm, without a ripple, and her voice scattered into the wind:

"But I don't love you."
