29 Talk With The "Girlfriend"

"Excuse me? What are you two doing?"

Yanmei couldn't help but ask as she stabbed the meat on her plate, glaring at Roulan and Huiqing, who seemed to be cuddling in front of her.

Her hands tighten their hold on the fork as her teeth grit in the process, not liking anything that's happening in front of her.

Huiqing looked at her in confusion, her eyes scanning the older woman as she couldn't help but raise a question towards her.

"Why? Is there a problem?"

She asks, irritating the older in front of her more. Roulan gulps before she pats Huiqing's shoulder, waiting for the girl to look at her.

"Don't mind her; maybe she woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

Roulan reasoned out, not wanting Huiqing to experience the wrath she got from the older girl just yesterday night.

After going to the park yesterday, Yanmei forced herself to sleep beside Roulan and threatened the girl that she'd cut Roulan's only weapons: her long fingers and skillful tongue.

Even though she didn't want to sleep with Yanmei, she didn't want her tongue and fingers cut off just because of a simple request.

She even heard the older girl mumble something along the lines of, "Be thankful you don't have a sword because if you do, I'd happily chop it off."

You can simply say that Yanmei gets everything she wants by threatening someone.

And she's probably angry because she woke up without Roulan by her side. The younger didn't even leave a note or a text message for her to read.

Just a plate of breakfast.

She still thinks it was so sweet of Roulan, but after realizing the girl left her, she didn't count it.

"Why? Did something happened?"

Huiqing asks, wanting to know more about why Yanmei is so angry when they're just halfway through the day.

The older woman looks at her before her eyes stare at Roulan, cutting the meat aggressively and putting it inside her mouth.

"I slept with someone, and they left me."

Roulan glares at her as she shakes her head, not wanting Yanmei to continue the story.

But the older woman smirks as she grabs her glass of water, putting it towards her lips as she takes a sip.

"What kind of sleep? One night style or road to forever?"

Huiqing asks, her eyes looking intently at Yanmei, to know more about what happened to the older and how she can help her.

"That's cheesy, but it's the road to forever style."

"Oh, that sucks."

Huiqing said as Yanmei nodded, agreeing with what the younger said. She puts down her utensils.

"Yeah."

"Maybe that someone is a jerk and an asshole; why do you even need to think of possibly marrying them in the future?"

Huiqing asks, getting a little too intrigued by Yanmei's life.

Roulan looks at Huiqing before Yanmei, meeting the older woman's eyes in the process as she gulps.

"My father's the mastermind—well, I like that person anyway, and besides, they already have their way with me."

Huiqing gasped at the information, her body leaning towards Yanmei as she nodded and looked at her with her eyes screaming, "I need more details!"

"Did they not like you? You're an attractive woman!"

Huiqing said, her back leaning on the chair as she clung onto Roulan, looking at the taller in the process.

"Look, Roulan, Yanmei's partner is an asshole and doesn't even know how to treat someone."

Ok, Roulan needs to find a way for the ground to open up and eat her right there and then because she wouldn't want to hear whatever Huiqing would say.

"Yeah, they don't have a-any heart."

Roulan said, stuttering in the process. Huiqing nodded as she agreed with what Roulan just said until an idea popped up inside her mind, her eyes brightening as she thought she could help Yanmei.

"Yanmei, what if you punish them?"

Roulan glances at Huiqing before looking at Yanmei, seeing the older woman looking at the girl beside her seriously as her eyebrows raised in the process.

"What kind of punishment?"

Yanmei glances at Roulan, looking at the girl's expression, and sees that she keeps gulping whatever's inside her mouth.

Huiqing shrugs her shoulders, not knowing anything about what punishment she should do to her lover.

"I don't know; maybe stop her from doing what she loves."

Yanmei hummed in response, grabbing her utensils to finish the dish in front of her.

"Not letting them leave the house? That's interesting."

"Do they love the outdoors?"

Huiqing asks, watching as Yanmei finishes the dish and gulps down the remaining liquid inside her glass.

Yanmei shakes her head, sarcastically smiling at Huiqing.

"They love going to their other girlfriend."

Yanmei said, quoting the word "girlfriend" to which Huiqing gasped, her mind getting a little intrigued yet again at the new information she got from Yanmei.

"Are you ok with that? If I were getting cheated on, I'd definitely bury them six feet in the ground."

Huiqing said, her voice lacing with venom as she looked at Roulan, to which the taller replied, herself jerking a little in her seat.

"I know we're still not on and all, but I want you to be loyal to me or else..."

Roulan gulps before she smiles awkwardly, her hand coming into contact with her forehead as she nods aggressively.

"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me that."

Huiqing smiled widely as she nodded, clinging onto Roulan, where Yanmei saw the action and her hand tightly holding the glass.

"Yanmei, oh my!"

Roulan's eyes darted onto where Huiqing was looking and she saw that Yanmei's hand was bleeding, and she quickly stood up.

The bell rang, and students ran out as Huiqing stood up to help Yanmei.

"Yanmei, how did you manage to break that?"

Huiqing asks, her eyes looking at Yanmei's bloody hand before she was pushed away by the older girl, who keeps on glaring at her.

"Hey, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing; I can handle myself."

Yanmei said, before looking at Roulan and walking toward the crowd.

Roulan kept her eyes on the crowd, wanting to follow Yanmei, but she was stuck with Huiqing, who was ranting about something that nobody knows.

"... Guide her towards the infirmary."

Roulan didn't know what the girl said, but she nodded her head before disappearing amid the crowd.

Her eyes darted around the hallway, and she saw a familiar figure turning to the left she quickly ran after the figure.

"Yanmei!"

She called the girl stopped for a while but didn't turn her back to look at Roulan.

The taller girl finally came in her direction she put her hands on her knees, breathing deeply as she ran a quite long hallway.

"Are you ok?"

Roulan quickly grabbed Yanmei's injured hand, but it was quickly retrieved by the older who didn't mind the throbbing feeling.

"Who are you to care about me? Didn't you only want what's good for you?"

Roulan's eyebrows furrow.

"I care for you."

"Fuck you and that mouth of yours; you keep telling me lies."

"I'm telling the truth. Fuck! Even if I hate you for forcing me into a relationship I don't want, I still care for you because you're my friend!"

Roulan said, her eyes darting onto the older but her eyebrows furrowed upon hearing Yanmei giggle like a maniac.

The older woman strides forward and puts her hands on Roulan's cheeks, the taller girl flinching in the process.

Yanmei eyed Roulan's lips before she used her bloody thumb to touch the bottom lip.

"It might not be the relationship that you want, but trust me, it'll be the relationship that you need."
