Crossing the Line, Falling in Love (GL)

At eighteen, Ding Yi fell for Shen Xinlan, a psychological counselor eight years older than her who came to the school to provide volunteer services.

At first, Shen Xinlan's care for her was simply part of her job, but gradually the two began drawing closer in ways that crossed the line.

Shen Xinlan lit up Ding Yi's bleak youth, but the feelings she should never have developed also burdened her with a heavy psychological shackle.

Shen Xinlan chose to bury every inappropriate flutter of her heart beneath time and distance, simply so she would not hold Ding Yi back in life.

Five years gave the battered Ding Yi the chance to be reborn through music. She became a rising star in the spotlight.

When they met again, Shen Xinlan discovered that the girl who used to blush to the tips of her ears when kissed had changed.

Ding Yi boldly pinned her against the edge of a desk, her fingers brushing Shen Xinlan's swollen lips. She whispered in her ear, in a breathy voice only the two of them could hear, and said cruelly, "Big sister looks so pitiful, like someone's bullied her... But what can I do? Seeing you like this just makes me want to... bully you even more."

Please note the following points about this story. If any of them bother you, please avoid reading:

2. The younger woman has just turned eighteen when they meet.

3. The overall story has a happy ending, with occasional bittersweet moments.
