204: Chapter 204 Good sisters should share happiness.

Bai Yuyan finally let go, but she remained pressing down on her, looking down at her with bright eyes.

Qin Xiaoran panted heavily, her face flushed red.

She hugged the pillow to her chest, her fingers lightly drawing circles on the pillowcase.

"Actually, it was love at first sight."

Bai Yuyan blinked.

"Love at first sight? Was it you for him, or him for you?"

Qin Xiaoran bit her lip.

"It must have been me for him. He came to my shop for a haircut, and the moment I saw him, I felt he was different from everyone else. He sat there, quiet and composed. He spoke well, and his smile was exceptionally beautiful. My heart started racing right then."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and by the end, the corners of her mouth were curled up, and there was a kind of light in her eyes, shining brightly, as if hiding two stars.

Looking at her like this, Bai Yuyan understood everything.

This wasn't just a fleeting impulse; it was true love.

When a person has a light in their eyes while talking about someone else, that means they have truly given their heart.

"Xiaoran, you really like him."

Qin Xiaoran nodded, then hurriedly shook her head.

"Not like."

Bai Yuyan was stunned for a moment.

"Huh?"

Qin Xiaoran buried her face in the pillow, her voice muffled.

"It's love."

Bai Yuyan smiled and reached out to gently stroke her hair.

"That's great. Wang Yang is indeed excellent. He's handsome, rich, and has a way with words. Most importantly, that day at the club, when he rushed in to save me, the way he looked was truly reassuring. I'm relieved you're with him."

Qin Xiaoran looked up at her.

"What about you? What do you think of him?"

Bai Yuyan thought for a moment and answered very seriously.

"He's very good. He's good to you, and he's good to me. Although I haven't had much contact with him, that day at the restaurant, the way he looked at you—that kind of gaze, it was so doting, you could tell it was genuine. I'm really happy for you that you found someone like him."

Qin Xiaoran looked at Bai Yuyan, and suddenly the corners of her mouth hooked up, her expression becoming a bit mischievous.

She put the pillow aside, lay down next to Bai Yuyan, and leaned close to her face.

"Yuyan, do you remember what we promised before?"

Bai Yuyan blinked.

"What promise? We've made so many, which one are you talking about?"

Qin Xiaoran's fingers lightly drew circles on her arm.

"The one. In our second year of high school, when we were hiding under the covers in the dorm chatting, you said you wanted to find someone who could protect you. I said the same. Then we made a pinky swear that we would marry the same man and be women for the same man. That way, we would never be separated."

Bai Yuyan's face slowly turned red.

"That… that was just something we said for fun when we were kids. You actually took it seriously?"

Qin Xiaoran looked at her earnestly.

"I did take it seriously. I've always taken it seriously. Look, I've found Wang Yang. He treats me very well, and I love him very much. So, according to the agreement, it's your turn. You can't go back on your word. We pinky swore."

Bai Yuyan's face grew redder and redder.

"That… how could that work? He's your boyfriend. How could I—"

"Why couldn't it? Didn't you say he was very good? He has very strong stamina. Let me tell you, he's incredibly capable; he'll definitely make you look at him in a new light. I can't really handle him alone, actually. If you come along, the two of us together can share the load."

Bai Yuyan's face was completely flushed.

"You, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'strong stamina'? What do you mean by 'can't handle him'? You, you're just a young girl, why do you talk so crudely?"

Qin Xiaoran blinked.

"I'm telling the truth. You'll know when the time comes. I'm not lying to you. He really is super amazing."

Bai Yuyan reached out to cover her mouth.

"Stop it. The more you talk, the more outrageous you get."

Qin Xiaoran, with her mouth covered, had her eyes curved like crescent moons.

A muffled sound leaked out from between Bai Yuyan's fingers.

"So, does that mean you agree?"

Bai Yuyan let go and glared at her.

"I didn't agree. This kind of promise is too embarrassing. How could I take it seriously?"

Although she said that, her voice lacked conviction, and her face was burning hot.

Qin Xiaoran looked at her insincere appearance and laughed.

She reached out and hugged Bai Yuyan's waist, burying her face in her chest.

"Whether you agree or not, I'm serious. I've found my man, and you have to fulfill the promise. We agreed we'd never separate. Don't even think about running away."

Bai Yuyan looked down at the person in her arms, feeling both chaotic and warm inside.

She didn't push Qin Xiaoran away, but just let out a soft sigh.

"You really are the bane of my existence."

Qin Xiaoran looked up from her chest, her eyes bright.

"So that means you agree?"

Bai Yuyan turned her face away.

"We'll see. I need to vet him first."

Qin Xiaoran laughed and hugged her tighter.

"Vet him all you want. I trust him. He will satisfy you."

Bai Yuyan bit her lip and said nothing more.

But the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

...

Wang Yang dropped Ye Xueying off at the entrance of the Municipal Government compound. When the car came to a stop, Ye Xueying was still clutching his hand without letting go.

She turned her head to look at him, her eyes bright, her lips pursed, hesitating for several seconds before speaking.

"Do you want to come up and sit for a while? My dad isn't home today."

Wang Yang smiled and reached out to gently stroke her hair.

"Maybe another day. I have some things to handle today, so I have to go first. You go back and get some good rest; you were exhausted last night."

Ye Xueying's face flushed red, and she pinched the back of his hand lightly.

"That's all your fault."

Wang Yang looked at her and smiled, not responding.

They looked at each other for a few seconds, then Ye Xueying leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, before pushing the car door open and running into the compound without looking back.

Wang Yang watched her back disappear behind the guard post before starting the car and driving away.

After driving two blocks, he pulled over to the side, took out his phone, and scrolled through it, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up.

Qin Xiaoran, that little girl, he hadn't seen her for a few days.

Last time in her little hair salon, she had sat on his lap, clumsily kissing him, her face as red as if it were burning.

Later at the hotel, the first time it hurt so much that tears came out, yet she still bit her lip and said, "Brother Yang, I'm not afraid."

As he thought about it, he felt an itch in his heart.

This girl was really quite endearing.

The car turned a corner and headed toward the hotel where Qin Xiaoran was staying.

...

Half an hour later.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, Wang Yang parked the car and took the elevator upstairs.

He walked to the door of the room and knocked.

A rustling sound came from inside, followed by a crisp female voice, tinged with a bit of vigilance.

"Who is it?"

Wang Yang leaned against the doorframe with a smile on his lips.

"It's me. Open the door."

It was quiet inside for a second.

Then came a suppressed scream, followed by the sound of bare feet pattering across the carpet.

The door lock clicked, and the door was yanked open.
