In the biting cold wind, the Spring Festival was approaching.
Lu Yunshu had a few days off, enjoying her leisure time.
Then she went to find her girlfriend, sticking to her until she couldn't anymore.
On a quiet snowy night, the two of them lay in bed talking.
Jin Hanshuang gently stroked her lover's hair and said, "Wenxin will come over tomorrow."
Lu Yunshu responded calmly with a "Hmm."
Then she asked, "What is she coming over for?"
Jin Hanshuang said with amusement, "Does a daughter need a reason to visit her mom?"
Lu Yunshu buried herself in Jin Hanshuang's arms and said seriously, "Mom has a girlfriend now and is too busy with romance. She's an adult and should learn to take care of herself."
Jin Hanshuang was amused, "You really are..."
Lu Yunshu heard her girlfriend laugh, and her lips curved up as well.
She placed a kiss on her girlfriend's collarbone, then rested her head back on the pillow, gazing into her girlfriend's eyes.
She asked, "Are you going back tomorrow?"
Shen Wenxin and Jin Hanshuang were going back to Shen's family's villa to celebrate the holiday.
Shen Wenxin's uncle and aunt had been living there since they came back on vacation.
They didn't teach in City A, so they only came during the winter and summer vacations.
Sometimes they didn't come, and Shen Wenxin would go visit them when she had time. If it was during the Spring Festival, she and Jin Hanshuang would go to celebrate with them.
The family reunited every year.
Jin Hanshuang nodded, her fingers lightly brushing aside Lu Yunshu's hair: "We're going back. Our Yunshu will also spend the New Year with her aunt and uncle."
Her fingertips landed gently on Lu Yunshu's fair face.
A soft kiss followed.
After the kiss, Jin Hanshuang looked at Lu Yunshu gently and said, "Rest well at home, you worked hard last year."
Lu Yunshu pressed her face into her hand and smiled gently, "Okay."
Jin Hanshuang thought of Lu Yunshu's aunt, which brought some memories to mind. She asked curiously, "Your dad doesn't know about your orientation, but does your aunt?"
Lu Yunshu said, "She knows."
Jin Hanshuang was momentarily stunned.
"Then she..."
She looked worried as she spoke.
Lu Yunshu saw this and gently stroked Jin Hanshuang's face, saying softly, "Don't worry, she's different from my dad. At first, she didn't understand, but later, she figured it out on her own."
"Figured it out on her own?"
"Yes."
Lu Yunshu whispered, "My aunt said, as long as I'm happy, that's all that matters."
Lu Fangru treated her very well, like a mother.
Therefore, she was always happy to share her thoughts with Lu Fangru.
Lu Fangru was also happy to be her listener.
After her father passed away, she lost her restraint, so she came out to her aunt very directly.
She wanted her aunt to know that she liked girls.
She didn't want her aunt to worry about whether she had a boyfriend anymore. In the future, her aunt could ask if she had a girlfriend.
But clearly, she was too honest and direct.
Lu Fangru was caught off guard.
At that moment, Lu Fangru looked at her without saying anything, just frowned.
And then?
Then Lu Fangru went back to her room.
That night, they didn't talk anymore.
She sat there, looking at the tightly closed door of her aunt's room. Her heart, which had been hanging high, suddenly fell, falling continuously, heavily, as if sinking into a bottomless abyss.
Her father didn't like homosexuals.
It seemed her aunt didn't either...
With a sigh, she also returned to her room.
She had a sleepless night.
The next day, she opened her door and saw Lu Fangru standing outside.
Lu Fangru glanced at her first and said, "You have dark circles."
Then asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?"
She nodded.
Lu Fangru suddenly reached out and hugged her.
Then, she patted her head twice, as if comforting her.
"What you said yesterday, Auntie doesn't quite understand."
Lu Fangru's voice fell softly in her ear, sounding so gentle in the morning light.
"But as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Whether they like men or women, it doesn't matter, as long as the children are happy.
Lu Yunshu was slightly stunned.
She raised her hand, hugged her aunt, and felt as happy as a child.
"Thank you, Auntie..."
That morning was one of the best moments in Lu Yunshu's life.
Tied for first place was the day she became Jin Hanshuang's girlfriend.
Jin Hanshuang quietly listened to Lu Yunshu talk about the past. After she finished, she gently pulled her into her arms, tenderly touching her, "Poor baby... Were you scared that night?"
The fact that Lu Yunshu could be honest with Lu Fangru showed how important Lu Fangru was to her.
If someone so close couldn't understand her...
The little puppy would be too pitiful!
Lu Yunshu smiled softly and gently patted Jin Hanshuang's back, just as Lu Fangru had comforted her that day, "It's all in the past. I'm very happy now."
"You'll always be this happy in the future," Jin Hanshuang said.
"You will always stay with me," Lu Yunshu said.
"Yes, I will always stay with you," Jin Hanshuang replied with a smile.
Lu Yunshu hugged her tightly with satisfaction.
After a while, Lu Yunshu said, "I really want to take you to meet my aunt and uncle."
Jin Hanshuang asked, "Won't that scare them?"
Lu Yunshu chuckled, "Maybe a little. But they know I have someone I've liked for a long time."
She had a crush.
She had liked this girl for many years.
The girl was very gentle and kind, and had comforted her many times.
These things, Lu Fangru and the others always knew.
But they didn't know that person was Jin Hanshuang.
They probably couldn't imagine it being Jin Hanshuangâthe wife of the person her brother disliked.
Jin Hanshuang suddenly laughed when she heard this, "You aren't planning to tell them directly this New Year, are you?"
Lu Yunshu was straightforward in everything she did.
If she told the Lu Fangru couple directly about their relationship, it wouldn't surprise her.
That's how straightforward Little Lu was, never beating around the bush.
Lu Yunshu also laughed and asked, "Is that not okay?"
Then she added, "If you think it's inconvenient, I won't say anything."
Jin Hanshuang looked down at Lu Yunshu.
Lu Yunshu's eyes were still as bright and beautiful.
This time, she didn't play the pitiful card, but earnestly sought her opinion.
Jin Hanshuang liked this very much.
She liked the honest and expressive love.
She also liked the love that involved discussion and mutual respect.
Her Yunshu gave her all of this.
She kissed Lu Yunshu's forehead gently and said in a soft voice, "Since you want to, then let's do it your way. We can't hide it from them forever."
They had to meet eventually.
They were going to be together for a long time, and there would come a day when Lu Fangru would find out.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunshu's eyes shone even brighter.
Her girlfriend agreed to go home and meet her parents!
"Okay, this time when I go back home, I'll tell them."
Jin Hanshuang saw her so happy and couldn't help but be happy along with her. Then she couldn't help but worry.
"You won't get scolded, will you?"
"No."
"Really?"
She was really worried, she was worried to death.
She didn't understand the personalities of Lu Fangru and her husband, nor how Lu Yunshu got along with them.
What if Lu Fangru couldn't accept her? What if Lu Yunshu went back to that fearful night?
Her Yunshu being so lonely would be so pitiful...
Seeing this, Lu Yunshu smiled and held her hand, giving it a kiss. "Don't worry, my aunt and uncle love me very much and are very reasonable. Trust them, and trust me, okay?"
Jin Hanshuang then lightly nodded: "Okay..."
Lu Yunshu chuckled.
She couldn't help but smile and kiss Jin Hanshuang: "Hanshuang is so cute, I like you so much."
Very, very much.
......
The next day, a little after 2 PM.
Shen Wenxin sat on the sofa and pointed at Lu Yunshu beside her. "What is she doing here?"
Lu Yunshu looked at her.
Jin Hanshuang also smiled and looked at her.
Shen Wenxin: "..."
She put down her hand, realizing she asked a pointless question.
Jin Hanshuang turned her head and continued to check the items they needed to take back.
She always prepared these things herself, especially since they included items bought for Shen Wenxin's uncle and aunt.
She checked each item, mumbling: "Is there anything missing..."
Shen Wenxin tilted her head and said, "Red envelopes?"
Jin Hanshuang suddenly realized: "Ah, right!"
Then she smiled and patted her daughter's head. "Only you would remember."
After saying that, she turned and went into the room.
She is the elder in the family, and during the New Year, she needs to give red envelopes to the younger ones. It wouldn't be right not to prepare red envelope bags.
This time, she custom-made new red envelope bags, which are particularly beautiful and cute. It would be a pity if she forgot to bring them back to use.
As soon as Jin Hanshuang left, only Shen Wenxin and Lu Yunshu were left in the living room again.
Silence slowly flowed through the air.
After a while, Shen Wenxin heard Lu Yunshu beside her suddenly say: "Hanshuang wants us to get along well."
It seemed to be a reminder.
Shen Wenxin responded absentmindedly with an "Mm."
Lu Yunshu spoke again: "Have you heard a saying?"
Shen Wenxin, looking at her phone, casually replied: "What saying?"
Lu Yunshu's tone was serious: "Two people who love each other will become more alike."
Shen Wenxin: "?"
She looked up at her.
Then she saw Lu Yunshu reaching out her hand towards her head.
It was obvious what she wanted to do.
Shen Wenxin squinted her eyes and leaned to the side.
Shen Wenxin: "Get lost."
Lu Yunshu withdrew her hand and calmly repeated, "Hanshuang wants us to get along."
Shen Wenxin: "Weren't we just getting along?"
Lu Yunshu: "You just told me to get lost."
Shen Wenxin: "You started it."
Lu Yunshu: "I just wanted to pat your head."
Shen Wenxin: "Stop being disgusting."
The two enemies stopped talking again.
But just sitting there in silence was indeed boring.
Lu Yunshu spoke up again: "Shen Wenxin, for Han Shuang's sake, I suggest you develop a relationship with me."
Shen Wenxin looked at her speechlessly: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? What kind of relationship do we have to develop?"
Lu Yunshu pondered.
A few seconds laterâ
"Mother-daughter relationship."
"?"
"Han Shuang is your stepmom, and I am her girlfriend, so that makes me your mom too."
"???"
"Don't worry, I'll treat you like my own daughter."
"......"
"You can call me Mom now."
"......"
President Shen smiled slightly: "If you want to die, just say so."
