Jin Hanshuang took out some safflower oil from the medicine box, unscrewed the cap, and applied it to the bruise on Shen Wenxin's knee, then started massaging it.
While massaging, Jin Hanshuang asked, "Does it hurt? How did you get this bruise?"
Shen Wenxin grabbed her pants, looked at her knee, then at Jin Hanshuang.
Silence upon silence.
After a long while, she finally replied, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much."
Jin Hanshuang closed the safflower oil and put it back in its place, frowning slightly, "What's wrong with you? You've been distracted."
Shen Wenxin hesitated to speak.
She thought again about Lu Yunshu's "opportunity."
And Lu Yunshu's face, serious to the point of being overly serious.
Shen Wenxin felt that the world was absurd.
How ridiculous, her arch-enemy said she liked her stepmother and even wanted to pursue her stepmother.
How ridiculous, that was her mother!
Was Lu Yunshu deliberately messing with her?
Her mother's concerned gaze fell on her, and her tone was very gentle: "Did you have a bad conversation with Yunshu?"
Shen Wenxin: "..."
"Lu Yunshu made me bump my knee," she said.
Jin Hanshuang was stunned for a moment: "What happened?"
Shen Wenxin: "What she said was too scary."
Jin Hanshuang: "Hmm?"
Shen Wenxin put down her pants, reached out to hold Jin Hanshuang's shoulder, and with a deep and serious expression said, "Sit tight, don't bump your leg like I did."
Jin Hanshuang couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
At the same time, she felt a little flustered.
What's going on? Could it be that Yunshu really said something incredible to her?
"What is it?"
"Lu Yunshu said she likes you."
"...?"
"She said she wants to pursue you."
"Ah???"
Jin Hanshuang was shocked.
Shen Wenxin, excited as if she had found a kindred spirit, said, "Right? You also think it's ridiculous, don't you?"
Jin Hanshuang: "..."
She didn't dare to speak.
She didn't dare to tell the child that their points of shock were completely different.
She never expected this development, now her girlfriend has become a pursuer!
Jin Hanshuang tried hard to manage her expression, finally looking at Shen Wenxin with an innocent and bewildered look: "Yunshu really... really said that?"
"Yes."
Shen Wenxin leaned against the sofa armrest, pressing her fingers to her forehead, frowning tightly.
"I knew her sudden kindness was suspicious. No wonder she wanted to make peace with me, haha, she knows she has to get past me to pursue you."
Shen Wenxin didn't care about other pursuers.
But Lu Yunshu was different. If Lu Yunshu wanted to pursue her stepmother, she had to get her approval first!
Jin Hanshuang: "..."
She reached out and patted Shen Wenxin's hand.
Lu Yunshu didn't even know she had to get past you; she had already come to pursue your mother, me...
Jin Hanshuang felt very complicated.
Given the current situation, it was so delicate that she didn't know what to do.
Shen Wenxin cared about Lu Yunshu's purpose for making peace.
Lu Yunshu spoke bluntly, saying half of it.
Now Shen Wenxin knows that Lu Yunshu likes her, and Lu Yunshu even said she wants to pursue her. Who knows how to handle this!
Jin Hanshuang bent down, resting her cheek on her hand, looking at her daughter, and fell silent.
After a while, she spoke: "What are you going to do next?"
Shen Wenxin looked at her.
"I need to digest the current situation first."
"?"
"I'm still in the 'classmate likes my mom' shock phase."
"OK," Jin Hanshuang held her hand, "Mom understands you."
She was just as shocked back then.
She also found it hard to accept Lu Yunshu's confession.
Then she accepted it, and eventually fell for her... quite hopelessly.
Shen Wenxin also patted Jin Hanshuang's hand.
See, Lu Yunshu liking her stepmother is so shocking that even her stepmother, as the person involved, is shocked!
"Mom, you should be careful with her. Lu has bad intentions towards you."
Jin Hanshuang: "..."
Jin Hanshuang: "Alright."
She slowly covered her face, holding back her emotions.
......
Jin Hanshuang was in her room making a phone call to Lu Yunshu.
"What's going on with you? How could you tell Wenxin that you like me?"
Lu Yunshu's voice came through the receiver, still as pleasant as ever, with a hint of resentment: "Shen Wenxin said I like her."
Jin Hanshuang: "?"
Lu Yunshu: "She said if I don't confess honestly, she'll keep guessing."
Jin Hanshuang: "..."
Lu Yunshu: "My ears won't allow me to indulge her."
Jin Hanshuang silently held her forehead and covered her face: "Alright, I can understand..."
Then she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"?"
Lu Yunshu: "Are you laughing?"
Jin Hanshuang covered her mouth: "Sorry, I imagined the scene and it really felt a bit funny with the two of you..."
"Hanshuang..."
In a pitiful puppy tone.
"Alright, alright, I won't laugh anymore, I won't laugh anymore, good girl, I like you the most."
"Alright, you like me the most."
In a cheerful puppy tone.
Jin Hanshuang listened and her heart softened: "You're so cute..."
She wanted to hug her, to kiss her, but unfortunately, she couldn't touch her now.
In the next few days, they still had to keep their distance to avoid Shen Wenxin discovering that her stepmother also liked someone with the surname Lu.
Jin Hanshuang asked: "So what should we do next?"
Lu Yunshu: "Yes, what should we do next?"
Jin Hanshuang: "What should we do?"
The two of them started playing again.
After playing enough, Jin Hanshuang said: "No more fooling around, you already have an idea, don't you?"
Lu Yunshu responded with a "Hmm" and then said, "I still need Hanshuang's cooperation."
Jin Hanshuang: "Cooperate with what?"
Lu Yunshu: "Cooperate with being pursued by me."
Jin Hanshuang: "Huh?"
Lu Yunshu's voice was serious: "When you like someone, you should let them see it, and also let their family see it."
Since she had already told Shen Wenxin that she wanted to pursue Jin Hanshuang, she needed to show it.
She wanted Shen Wenxin to see her sincerity, to see her feelings for Jin Hanshuang. Otherwise, if she said she liked her but showed no actions, wouldn't that be hypocritical and laughable?
In this case, Shen Wenxin would be even less likely to support her being with Jin Hanshuang.
Lu Yunshu pleaded pitifully to Jin Hanshuang: "Sister, help me..."
Jin Hanshuang couldn't refuse her at all: "Alright, alright, I'll help you, I'll cooperate with you."
There was one more thing that made Lu Yunshu very happy.
"From now on, I can openly see Hanshuang."
Jin Hanshuang could hear the happiness in her tone.
For a moment, she felt both soft-hearted and helpless.
"You..."
Really didn't know how things had developed to this point...
......
Lu Yunshu also didn't know how things had developed to this point.
But given the current situation, she quite liked this development.
She finally didn't have to hide her feelings for Jin Hanshuang anymore.
Next, she was going to pursue her girlfriend again.
Jin Hanshuang started receiving gifts from Lu Yunshu.
Shen Wenxin began to see Lu Yunshu sending gifts to Jin Hanshuang's house.
Sending flowers, jewelry, and all sorts of novel and precious trinkets.
Most importantly, each one could make Jin Hanshuang happy, bringing a smile to her face. It could be said that they were tailored to her tastes.
These continuous gifts gave Shen Wenxin an inexplicable sense of "You finally know, I can finally stop hiding."
Among them were a few small gifts for her as well.
While pleasing her beloved, she also took the opportunity to please her beloved's family.
Shen Wenxin: "..."
She was once again an afterthought.
No way, Lu Yunshu, are you serious??
......
Shen Wenxin got off work and drove home.
Back to her stepmother's house.
After parking the car and walking to the building, she saw Lu Yunshu.
And her stepmother, Jin Hanshuang.
Jin Hanshuang was holding a bouquet of beautiful blue roses.
Lu Yunshu stood in front of her, looking at her with gentle eyes.
It was obvious who had sent the flowers.
Shen Wenxin stood at a distance, unable to hear what they were saying, only able to see their expressions.
Jin Hanshuang's expression remained as gentle as ever.
She knew Jin Hanshuang well; Jin Hanshuang was always like this, always smiling, even when looking at dogs on the street, exuding a strong sense of friendliness.
Moreover, Jin Hanshuang always treated her and Lu Yunshu like children, being gentle and kind to the children she watched grow up, which was perfectly fine.
But Lu Yunshu, on the other hand, was smiling a bit too brightly.
The deep affection on her face was so tender it could almost drip.
Shen Wenxin felt goosebumps rising.
Who could stand their arch-enemy acting like this!
No way, Lu Yunshu, are you really serious?!
Then, she saw Lu Yunshu raise her hand, reaching towards Jin Hanshuang's hand.
"Hey!"
She called out, quickly walking over and slapping Lu Yunshu's hand away.
"Talk properly, don't touch!"
Lu Yunshu winced in pain and was forced to withdraw her hand.
Today, Lu Yunshu didn't get to hold her girlfriend's hand.
Jin Hanshuang saw her frown and quickly held Shen Wenxin's hand, sternly saying, "No hitting."
Shen Wenxin was about to say, "She was the one who started it," but Lu Yunshu quickly interjected, "It's okay, sister, let Wenxin hit me if she wants."
She said it with the tone of an elder doting on a younger one.
"?"
Shen Wenxin turned her head to look.
Lu Yunshu was looking at her with a very loving and tolerant expression.
Shen Wenxin: "..."
Alright, alright, so this is how we're playing it?
Shen Wenxin turned to Jin Hanshuang and said, "Mom, you go up first, I have something to say to her."
Jin Hanshuang asked, "It's so cold, where are you going to talk?"
Shen Wenxin: "A nearby coffee shop."
Jin Hanshuang looked at Shen Wenxin, then at Lu Yunshu: "Alright, you two go ahead, keep warm, I'll go up first."
Shen Wenxin nodded.
Lu Yunshu smiled at her.
Jin Hanshuang walked away with the flowers in her arms.
Even though she was worried about these two kids, she had to leave.
They needed more time to talk than she did.
As soon as Jin Hanshuang left, Shen Wenxin immediately changed her expression, glaring at Lu Yunshu with burning eyes: "Lu Yunshu, what are you doing here?"
Lu Yunshu replied matter-of-factly: "Of course, I'm here to pursue the person I like."
Shen Wenxin frowned even more: "No, are you serious?"
Lu Yunshu frowned even more than she did: "Why do you still think I'm joking? Shen Wenxin, do I look like someone who would joke about this?"
Shen Wenxin was stunned for a moment.
The answer was already clear in her mind: she wasn't joking.
So, she was serious, she really liked her stepmother Jin Hanshuang.
âLu Yunshu was here to take her stepmother away!
"Go home and dream," Shen Wenxin said coldly and ruthlessly, "I won't agree to you being together, and my stepmother won't agree either."
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Lu Yunshu suddenly calmed down.
She even reached out and gently patted her shoulder.
Her expression was even a bit loving.
"It's okay, I will keep trying."
Shen Wenxin: "?"
Lu Yunshu: "It's cold, go up early, don't catch a cold."
Shen Wenxin: "???"
Lu Yunshu: "I'm leaving now."
Lu Yunshu left.
Shen Wenxin was left alone in the wind, squinting as she watched her leave.
So strange, is Lu Yunshu's mind still normal?
