The first thing Mr. Song did after agreeing to his daughter and Yi Ran dating was to find someone to remove all the posts involving them on the school forum. Whether it was gossip or discussion, it was all removed overnight.

He was worried people with bad intentions would use these to hurt them, and he didn't want his daughter to suffer even the slightest harm.

But with only posts involving Yi Ran and Song Yu Meng being taken down, it's impossible for people to not get suspicious.

So, plenty of students were even more convinced something was up between the two.

One fine day, during English class, Chen Ling was picking two people to write on the blackboard while she quizzed the class on spelling.

She looked around, and finally saw Yi Ran with her head lowered and eyes averted,

"Alright, Yi Ran and her deskmate shall be the ones to come up to write on the blackboard."

Once those words were said, a bunch of people all started whooping and teasing them, all turning their heads around to join in the fun.

Chen Ling was only in her twenties, and she was still open-minded and relatively young. The gossip that students were interested in, she was too. She had also seen the gossip about the two of them on the school forums.

She was quite curious as to whether the two of them really were dating, but these sorts of things were only privy to the people themselves, and Chen Ling was too embarrassed to ask outright too.

But she had heard from other teachers that it was easy to find out who was dating in class. Just pick them to answer questions together, and if the students start whooping and cheering, their relationship most likely wasn't just friends.

Seeing that more than half the class were looking at them, Chen Ling smiled ambiguously. It most likely was true.

Song Yu Meng stood up amidst all the cheers and dragged her feet to the front with Yi Ran, a shy expression on her face.

Yi Ran walked dejectedly with both her hands in her pockets. She had only cared about speaking to Song Yu Meng over the phone last night, how could she have memorized the English spelling list?
She was done for!

The two of them held onto pieces of chalk and faced the blackboard. Chen Ling casually said a word.

"Adorable."

Song Yu Meng immediately lifted the chalk and started to write, while Yi Ran pressed the tip of the chalk to the board and froze. She was thinking if the "e" in the word had to be removed after adding the suffix to make it an adjective.

Chen Ling had already moved on to the next word, but Yi Ran was still debating internally if the "e" should be removed. Unable to decide, she chose to look at how her girlfriend spelled it.

She turned her head ever so slightly to look with her peripheral vision, but she was caught by the sharp-eyed Chen Ling.

"Yi Ran, why aren't you writing? Why are you looking at Song Yu Meng for?"

"Oh~~~"

Another long cheer erupted from the students.

Yi Ran's face immediately flushed, and she quickly looked straight ahead, holding a fist to her nose to hide her smile. Song Yu Meng was embarrassed too, but her heart felt like it was dipped in honey. She quickly looked at Yi Ran out of her peripheral vision and smiled, before continuing to write.
Amidst the cheers, Chen Ling smiled for a brief second, then resumed her normal demeanor.

"Write! Your! Words! Down!" She enunciated each word clearly with a pause between every single word. "If not, the English homework for today will be doubled."

Nearing the end of the term, homework was already steadily increasing. They'd be dead if the English homework was doubled! The students buried their heads in their books and started writing the words, all of them falling silent.

......

Yi Ran's birthday coincidentally fell on the weekend before the end-of-term exams.

The night before her birthday, she was on the phone with Song Yu Meng as per usual when she asked: "Here's a question to test you, guess what special day tomorrow is?"

"Of course, it's your birthday, did you think this lady would forget?"

"Yeah, I was really afraid you would." Yi Ran was a little surprised. "You actually didn't forget it, it's a miracle!"

Song Yu Meng was a little haughty. "Of course, I remember everything to do with you!"
Warmth spread in Yi Ran's heart as she smiled. "Since you know it's my birthday, then did you prepare a surprise for me?"

Song Yu Meng "heh"-ed. "I knew you were going to ask this. Of course I did."

"What is it? Tell me."

"No! How can it be considered a surprise if I tell you, you'll find out tomorrow."

Yi Ran agreed: "Okay, then I'll be at your door bright and early to wait for you. I want to know as soon as possible what you got me."

"You'll know when the time comes." Song Yu Meng patted the square box on the table, then looked at the clothes hanging on her clothes rack, smiling.

Hanging from the clothes rack was that blank tube top, the exact same one that Yi Ran had forbidden her to wear out the last time when they went out on a date. It was revealing and very sεメy.

When Yi Ran had said "If you want to wear it, you can only wear it at home for me to see", Song Yu Meng had kept it in her heart all this time.

She could already imagine how spectacular Yi Ran's reaction would be tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Yi Ran was already at the gate of Song Yu Meng's house when the sky was just starting to brighten.

It wasn't even 7AM yet, and Yi Ran was wondering if she had come too early. Perhaps the entire family hadn't woken up yet.

Blame it on her excitement and curiosity. She hadn't really slept after hanging up the phone call last night, so she woke bright and early this morning.

【Are you awake yet? I'm already at your gate, come open the door.】

Yi Ran sent a QQ message to Song Yu Meng.

【(Waiting obediently.jpg)】

Song Yu Meng was already awake, and seeing this message, she threw her phone down and ran to the gate to open it.

After opening the door, the two of them smiled at each other, before Song Yu Meng pulled Yi Ran into the house.

Yi RAn looked at her living room and didn't see Mr. and Mrs. Song, so she asked: "Am I too early? Seems like your parents aren't even awake yet. Then would I be disturbing uncle and aunty?"

"No, my dad went to the company earlier." Song Yu Meng pointed at the garden in the back and said: "My mom's up too, she's watering her flowers in the garden."
Coincidentally, Mrs. Song came back in with her watering can.

Song Yu Meng: "Mom, you're done watering the flowers? Yi Ran came over to look for me, I'll bring her to my room first."

After that, she held Yi Ran's hand and was about to leave when Mrs. Song stopped her. Looking a bit nervous and worried, she asked: "What are you two going to do...... in the room?"

The relationship between her daughter and Yi Ran was no longer purely as friends, and with the two of them alone in a room, Mrs. Song couldn't not overthink.

Yi Ran heard the hidden meaning in Mrs. Song's words and didn't know how to explain.

Song Yu Meng: "Mom, you're thinking too much! Today's Yi Ran's birthday. I'm bringing her into my room because I have her present, it's not what you're thinking."

Mrs. Song was also a little awkward, trying to find a way out of the situation: "Oh, oh, so it's Xiao-Yi's birthday today. Happy birthday. Don't just stand there, hurry up and go with Xiao-Yu, aunty is going to continue watering her flowers."
Yi Ran quickly nodded and followed Song Yu Meng into her room.

This was her second time in here, and it still looked the same as before, pink and girly. There was a poster of Han Fan in the middle of the wall, and many more photographs pinned up on either side.

There were some of just Song Yu Meng, some of Yi Ran and some of them together.

Yi Ran counted the photos. There were seven photos of them together, two less than the previous time.

Yi Ran also counted the other photos. Song Yu Meng's solo photos was also missing a few, but her solo photos were all there.

Yi Ran was feeling a bit suspicious and pointed at the wall. "Why are there fewer photos on the wall?"

Song Yu Meng smiled but didn't answer, bringing the square box to Yi Ran and smiled. "Because they're inside here. Your birthday present, open it?"

Yi Ran took what looked like a shoebox and shook it curiously. There was a sound of hard plastic hitting the box.

Yi Ran randomly guessed: "It can't be something like body wash, right?"
Song Yu Meng was both tickled pink and also annoyed: "Dummy! Who would give you body wash for no reason!"

Yi Ran agreed and opened the box. It was indeed a hard, plastic object, but it wasn't body wash. It was a new white helmet with a visor, and it was the exact same model as the one she had.

But what was different was that this helmet had photos stuck to it. It was the missing photos of Song Yu Meng and their couple photos.

Yi Ran picked up the helmet and grinned at Song Yu Meng, her two dimples showing that she was extremely happy.

Song Yu Meng smiled: "Are you satisfied with your birthday present?"

"Of course. I was just thinking of buying one, I didn't expect you to have gotten it for me. There are even our photos on it." Yi Ran suddenly was curious. "Eh, how did you think of sticking our photos on the helmet?"

Song Yu Meng pushed her index finger into Yi Ran's forehead and said cheekily: "To let other people know that you already have a girlfriend!"

Yi Ran laughed: "Aren't you childish? Just like a little kid."
Song Yu Meng complained: "Childish? But I even prepared this for you!"

She took out two plates from the drawer, both of them with the same words--The passenger seat is occupied, don't flirt.

She stuffed the plates into Yi Ran's hand and said: "Put them on your scooter later, both on the front and back. You're not allowed to forget."

Yi Ran looked at the words and laughed before putting the plates into her pocket, then looking tenderly at Song Yu Meng.

Her girlfriend really was extraordinarily cute.

"Are you that scared I'll be seduced by someone else?" Yi Ran suddenly got closer to her, a cheeky smile on her face.

Song Yu Meng openly admitted it: "Yeah, I'm scared! I just want to take precautions against whoever doesn't have eyes and insists on flirting with you. Isn't it much safer after sticking the plates on?"

She lifted up Yi Ran's chin with her hand. "You're so good looking and such a good person, if I don't do these small things, what if you get stolen away?"
"Relax, if it's not you, I won't let them flirt with me." Yi Ran was smiling while she said it, but she was extremely serious.

Song Yu Meng was overjoyed. "At least you're sensible. Then this lady shall give you another reward?"

"What?" Yi Ran's eyes sparkled.

Song Yu Meng pushed Yi Ran out of the room with a shy expression. "Go out first, come in again later."

Yi Ran asked: "What's this, why the mystery......"

"Go out first...... Before I call you in, you're not allowed to come in. Or I won't talk to you again!"

Yi Ran was pushed out of the room mercilessly. Standing at the door and staring at it, she was incredibly curious what sort of reward necessitated such mystery.

Just as she was thinking about it, the door opened a crack and Song Yu Meng stuffed her head out. Aside from her head, her entire body was blocked by the door and her face was pink as she shyly said: "Come in quickly."

She closed the door again and ran across the room to sit on her bed, excited and happy, but also shy.
Quickly, Yi Ran opened the door and walked in. What greeted her was Song Yu Meng sitting on her white bed, wearing that tube top that barely covered her chest. Her thighs, her collarbone, her shoulders, her back were all exposed.

Hot blood rushed into Yi Ran's head, and she felt like her head was swelling up and a little dazed. Her breathing had stuttered to a stop.

Even though it was June and the middle of a hot summer, the air-conditioner was turned on in the room and it was refreshingly cool. But Yi Ran felt like her whole body was burning. It felt worse than having a fever, with her face boiling hot.

Song Yu Meng patted the bed with her right hand and looked at Yi Ran. "Come over and sit here."

Yi Ran paused for a moment then went over, but she kept her eyes trained on the floor, not daring to look directly at Song Yu Meng.

At this moment, Song Yu Meng suddenly straddled Yi Ran's lap, her pale, slender arms resting on Yi Ran's shoulders as she tilted her head to meet Yi Ran's gaze.
Yi Ran couldn't escape, and she eventually made eye contact with Song Yu Meng, immediately sparking fireworks.

"What... Are you doing..." Yi Ran was breathless and her voice was all hoarse and raspy.

Song Yu Meng licked her lips. "Didn't you say that this sort of sεメy clothes can only be worn at home for you to see? Does it look good?"

"It looks good......"

"I prepared a second birthday gift for you; do you want to know what it is?"

"What......"

Song Yu Meng suppressed her shyness and moved her lips close to Yi Ran's ear and whispered: "I'm your birthday present, unwrap me yourself."

Her tone was sultry and incredibly provocative.

Yi Ran was already in a daze, breathing erratically. Her ears were all red and she held onto Song Yu Meng's waist with both hands, wanting to hug her but not daring to. She couldn't even look directly at Song Yu Meng.

Her heartbeat was so loud it could be heard throughout the room. Song Yu Meng could hear it clearly.
