Saving You (YanQing/Jiang Yanli x Wen Qing)

"I Love You"

<DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IF YOU LIKED IT>

Wen Qing panicked and continued getting angry, "Even so, everyone will disagree with our relationship, don't you?!" Jin Ling shouted, "If it makes my mom happy, why does your relationship have to matter?"

"I.........." Wen Qing tried to refute again but didn't have the words. "Do you have anymore excuses?" Jin Ling scoffed. Wen Qing faced away from him and continued paddling the boat but she stopped when she saw a familiar woman, "Yanli.............h-how...long have you been there?"

Yanli mouth was left agape before and her lips quivered when she closed it, "When I saw Jin Ling head out, I followed him because I was worried........ I thought you two were going to fight......"

Jin Ling decided to leave to let them sort it out themselves. Wen Qing stated blankly, "Well, I'll get going now." "I love you too," Yanli confessed.

Wen Qing was flustered and fumbled, dropping the paddle in the water. She bit her lip in frustration but also because she was in a tight situation. Her heart skipped a beat and it was racing too fast for her liking.

It was throbbing faster than before and it felt unbearably warm. Butterflies swarmed and took over inside of it that she couldn't help but feel like crying. She still stayed in her position of crouching and didn't look at Yanli, only staring into the deep waters. Yanli slightly pouted but came in the boat and she froze.

She slightly moved a little further hoping that would make her stop.  Shivers travelled through her body like a wave when she felt Yanli's hands on her shoulders. The tears fell from her eyes, "Please just leave me alone......" Wen Qing just thought that maybe Yanli thinks of her as a sister which made her feel worse.

Wen Qing stood up abruptly, "I......don't love you like what you're thinking. I love you romantically! I love you like Wei Wuxian loves Lan Wangji! I love you like the love that makes me want to hold hands with you, to hug you and to kiss-" Yanli suddenly kissed her.

It was gentle as her hand slid to the small back of Wen Qing's, making sure she doesn't fall as she arched her back. Her other hand laid lightly to the smaller girl's jawline. Her thumb slowly wiped her fallen tears. She pulled back and smiled a bit shyly, "I also love you like that. I love you, Wen Qing."

Wen Qing was flustered and hid her face in her hands, still crying. Yanli tucked in the fallen strands of Wen Qing's dark hair behind her ear before tilting her chin up, lightly forcing her eyes meet her own pairs. "I thought that if you wouldn't confess, it was better if I did," Yanli smiled.

Wen Qing stopped to look at the older girl with a slight tug at the ends of her lips. "Wen Qing, I love you. Thank you for taking care of me for 20 years. Thank you for bringing me back to my.....mmm no, our family and.....thank you for loving me."

Wen Qing couldn't help but just to nod and hum her answer, "Mm!" "Cute!" Yanli thought and hugged her tightly. Wen Qing reciprocated and buried her head into the older girl's shoulder with a big smile on her face.
