Chapter 381 Confession of Love Hindered

At that moment, Yun Ya was certain that she liked her, liked her terribly.

But she was also very conflicted. They had no future together, and she was just having a one-sided crush on him.

If Xuanmei knew her secret feelings, would she break off their friendship? Her mind was in turmoil, yet before her eyes lay a picture of loving affection.

Xuanmei stopped rubbing her hands and asked Yunya, "Are you feeling better? Are you going to the bathroom again? If not, let's close the door and get ready for bed."

Yun Ya's heart skipped a beat again. "Go to bed! Sleep!" She could finally sleep with Xuan Mei. Was this really true?

Yun Ya was excited and her heart was burning with passion; her face flushed with excitement.

Xuanmei noticed that Yunya's face was flushed, indicating she had warmed up. She then went out to get the chamber pot, returned, closed the door, and prepared to sleep.

When she returned and saw Yunya still standing there without moving, she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Yunya mechanically took off her shoes and clothes, saying, "Oh... um... it's nothing."

Seeing her unnatural demeanor, Xuanmei assumed that she felt cramped and didn't want to sleep in the same bed with her.

He explained, "Oh, well... as you can see, we don't have any spare rooms, so you and I will have to make do for now."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ya quickly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Being with you is something I've always dreamed of."

Xuanmei felt like she didn't understand what she meant, but then again, she seemed to understand something.

But she was too dazed by the cold to pay attention to the meaning behind the words. Both of them took off their outer clothes and, wearing only their thermal underwear, crawled into bed.

The bed was cool, but Xuanmei felt warm. Yunya huddled up in a ball, cold, and seeing how sensitive she was to the cold, Xuanmei leaned closer and hugged Yunya from behind again.

Yun Ya froze, her body instinctively moving closer to the source of warmth. Her heart was still racing uncontrollably.

Xuanmei held her in her arms to keep her warm, resting her chin on the top of Yunya's head, her soft body pressed tightly against Yunya's back.

Yunya was both nervous and excited, and her buttocks sticking out even more honestly, making the two bodies fit together perfectly.

Xuanmei was simply trying to warm Yunya, but Yunya's heart was in turmoil. A happy smile crept onto her face, impossible to suppress.

Feeling the warm, soft touch on her back, she had an urge to turn around and hug her. But she didn't dare, and ultimately suppressed the excitement in her heart.

Not long after, Xuanmei fell asleep holding Yunya, feeling a sense of peace and security in her arms.

Listening to the even breathing around her, Yunya slowly turned around, changed her posture, and faced Xuanmei.

Looking closely at the face so close to his, he realized that it wasn't particularly beautiful or handsome; it was just an ordinary face. Yet, it was the face that attracted Yun Ya, Liu Jing, Fang Shijie, and others.

Yun Yazai carefully examined this bewitching face, this face that made her blush and her heart race. What was so magical about it?

Yun Ya looked from her forehead to her eyebrows, from her eyes to her nose, and finally her gaze settled on her mouth.

Those rosy little lips looked so soft and sweet, so alluring. Yun Ya was mesmerized, and couldn't resist slowly moving closer and gently kissing them.

The moment their lips touched, Yunya felt like she was floating, her very soul filled with joy.

She gave her a light kiss, but couldn't bear to leave. Yet, she was also afraid that Xuanmei would wake up and discover what she had done, so she hesitated, wondering whether to continue kissing her.

Just then, Xuanmei let out a soft "humph," as if she were dreaming. Startled, Yunya quickly lay back down, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

Yun Ya's heart pounded, wondering if Xuan Mei had woken up yet. She stood stiffly, barely daring to breathe.

She decided that no matter what Xuanmei asked her tomorrow, she would pretend not to know or hear it.

Lost in thought, Yunya fell asleep. Xuanmei didn't wake up until Yunya's breathing gradually became steady.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day, the sky turned gloomy and overcast, as if it were about to rain.

After washing up, Xuan's mother made breakfast. Xuan Ran ate a few bites and went to school. Xuan's mother also ate a few bites, and after she finished eating, she grabbed her raincoat and went to work.

Yunya and Xuanmei slept until 9 a.m., the longest Yunya had ever slept in her life. Xuanmei also felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Yunya woke up first and found that Xuanmei was still asleep, so she secretly kissed her lips again.

Xuanmei felt a sudden touch of softness and abruptly opened her eyes. Before her was Yunya's familiar face.

Yun Ya felt a little guilty, but she couldn't help but look at that cute and confused little face.

Xuanmei rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "You're awake? When did you wake up?"

Yun Ya's throat was dry, and she swallowed hard before replying, "Cough... I... just woke up."

Xuanmei looked at her and asked, "Are you hungry? Let's get up and go out to eat!"

Yunya quickly refused, "No need for that, I can just make something at home."

Xuanmei didn't refuse. After saying that, the two of them got dressed and went to make noodles.

The kitchen wasn't big, and it felt a bit cramped for the two of them. Yunya would bump into Xuanmei every now and then. Each time they did, Yunya's heart would pound like a rabbit's.

After cooking the noodles, the two of them sat down at the table with their bowls in hand.

Yun Ya secretly glanced at Xuan Mei and, seeing her eating with relish, couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious?"

Xuanmei smiled and nodded: "It's delicious, you should eat more too."

As they were eating, it suddenly started raining outside, with large raindrops hitting the window. Xuanmei got up to close the window, and Yunya watched her back as her affection for her grew stronger.

The rain was getting heavier, but the room felt exceptionally warm. After finishing her noodles, Xuanmei went to wash the dishes. Yunya stood behind her, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up her courage to gently hug Xuanmei.

Xuanmei froze, nearly dropping the bowl in her hand.

Yunya's voice trembled with nervousness: "Xuanmei, I..."

Before he could even say the word "like," Xuanmei interrupted him.

"and many more……"

Xuanmei slowly turned around, looked at Yunya, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, then smiled gently and said, "We...are good friends."

Yunya wanted to continue and elaborate on what she had just said. Xuanmei didn't give her the chance and took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it.

Yunya lowered her head in dejection, her heart filled with mixed feelings. She knew that Xuanmei must have guessed her feelings for her.

But what did she mean by interrupting my confession? Could it really be that I'm the one in love?

If Xuanmei didn't have those feelings for her, then why did she warm her hands, feet, and body, and smile gently at her?

Yun Ya couldn't understand it and wanted to ask her directly. But based on Xuan Mei's reaction just now, Yun Ya could tell that Xuan Mei was resistant; she didn't want to clarify their relationship or reveal the truth.

Yunya was very distressed and listless, losing the energy she had when she first woke up.
