Aloof, down-on-his-luck illegitimate son x sunny, cheeky puppy
Bai Yubei really couldn't understand how things had ended up like this.
She'd made up her mind long ago to cut ties with the person she hated most in the world. But one sudden downpour during the rainy season had them squeezed together on a cramped, dim bed, and this woman had pinned Bai Yubei down and kissed her. What was that supposed to mean?!
Embarrassed and angry, she glared at Yan You.
"Didn't like it?" Yan You leaned down with practiced ease, gently wiping the corner of her mouth with a fingertip. "Well, what can we do? We already kissed. Want to kiss me back?"
Fine, she would! Being assigned to share a two-person dorm room with Yan You was bad enough. Her luggage hadn't even arrived yet, which made her luck even worse.
Bai Yubei didn't actually dislike her. She would never admit that Yan You was a tender, immature seed buried in her heart, one that seemed ready to take root and sprout every time she saw her. But weren't they best friends? How terrifying. It was probably better to keep her distance.
She and Yan You had walked from the far end of the classroom corridor all the way here. They'd walked from the age of sixteen or seventeen through one decade and then another, and yet it felt as if they had only just reached each other's side.
Bai Yubei was gentle moonlight, yet she was more like a sun illuminating countless people.
Yan You was consumed by jealousy, afraid to realize that the moon shining high above did not shine on her alone.
(Yan You is three years older than Bai Yubei. Older woman/younger woman. Both are sexually inexperienced. They are not switch partners, so please be warned.)
