The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 377 - 376: The Orange Sea in Summer

When Xia Yubing and Yu Zhishui came out, their agent, Jiang Lan, curiously glanced at their linked arms.

It’s rare for this silly girl to make friends so quickly... Speaking of which, this young lady really has a presence. Are there so many beauties in Huai City? There’s also Su Wan whom I’ve seen here a few times, she’s frighteningly beautiful.

As an agent, Jiang Lan was once again consumed by occupational habits, fantasizing about packaging these three beauties into a girl idol group and imagining them becoming globally famous, which made her laugh while cupping her face.

"Sister Lan, Yubing sister and I are going to go out and play."

"Go ahead, but be safe."

Yu Zhishui was fully armed with sunglasses and a mask, so Jiang Lan couldn’t notice her reddened eyes.

Xia Yubing, however, took a few photos to keep as records, deciding to bring them out later to make Lin Shuang feel deeply concerned.

Upon entering the hallway, she pushed aside Yu Zhishui’s sunglasses to take a look, "Your eyes are red like a little rabbit."

Yu Zhishui then raised her fingers to her head, mimicking bunny ears, "Little bunny~"

Though her eyes were still red, she seemed to have regained her spirits, probably because... they were going to see Lin Shuang soon.

Just thinking about this made Yu Zhishui happy.

"Yubing sister, where shall we go play hide and seek with my dear?"

"Well, we should of course run to the ends of the earth, so hubby couldn’t find us."

Yu Zhishui pouted, "But I want to see my dear sooner."

Xia Yubing playfully hit her, "Isn’t it because hubby made you cry, and we have to punish him a little?"

Yu Zhishui blinked her bunny eyes, "I remember it seems like Yubing sister who made me cry?"

Xia Yubing grabbed her cheeks and rubbed them, apparently planning to rub her into physical amnesia.

She spoke with a smile, "That never happened, right? It’s definitely all hubby’s fault."

Yu Zhishui, whose cheeks were rubbed, spoke in an even cuter tone due to her voice going off pitch, "But what if my dear really can’t find us?"

"That’s not a worry."

Xia Yubing tilted her head, her tone tender,"It has been proven that no matter how far apart we are, even across an entire universe, we can still find each other."

...

[Memory Fragments Unlocked]

Until just before the club performance started, the junior named Xia Yubing was still clinging to Lin Shuang, discussing the script with him.

"I think the last adapted script where Romeo and Juliet elope together was really good."

At the end of the fifth floor of the teaching building, in the horticulture club’s activity room, Lin Shuang, while rushing his thesis, discussed the script with junior Xia Yubing.

"It was indeed good~"

Xia Yubing seemed really pleased with her ingenious adaptation but still wanted to push for more excellence.

She really wanted to improve!

Xia Yubing peeled a segment of orange and fed it to Lin Shuang, "But it can’t be helped, our school has so many clubs, each club’s stage time is very limited... Huh? What are you dodging, senior?"

Lin Shuang pursed his lips and shook his head, dodging the orange segment she offered, "It’s definitely sour!"

"Oh come on, senior! How could I possibly harm you, it’s guaranteed sweet!"

Xia Yubing lunged at him to pry open his mouth, the chair tilted, and both of them fell to the ground.

They had been rehearsing the stage play in this activity room for the past few days, and the floor was covered with soft mats, so falling didn’t hurt.

"How is it, pretty sweet, right~"

Xia Yubing lay on top of Lin Shuang, her hair falling and brushing against his cheeks, ticklish and tingling.

What flavor is the orange segment stuffed in his mouth? Lin Shuang no longer had the brain capacity to focus on that.

All his thoughts were occupied by the girl lying on top of him, fluttering her hair strands: so close, so close!

"...It’s sweet."

He turned his face away, not daring to look directly into her sparkling eyes.

Probably a few seconds passed, or maybe a very long time, Xia Yubing’s voice finally sounded close at hand, "Then... eat a bit more?"

Lin Shuang opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. She then broke off another segment of orange to feed him, maintaining this posture with her lying on top of him, feeding him an entire orange.

Even after eating it, Lin Shuang still didn’t know what the orange tasted like.

He felt as if he was drifting in an ocean of oranges, only aware that his heart was beating very fast, vigorous and burning hot, as if a spring was about to gush forth from his chest.

And... junior Xia Yubing smelled so good, with a faint scent of jasmine.

After the feeding ended, only the orange peel was left in her hand. Xia Yubing finally became somewhat flustered, hurriedly sitting up and returning to her chair.

There was still some juice from the orange segment at the corner of Lin Shuang’s mouth; he pursed his lips—almost too sour.

He tugged hard on the hem of his shirt, trying to cover something, but it was of little use.

Young, innocent boys are like this.

Xia Yubing was sitting on the chair, her back to him, softly starting the conversation, "... Let’s talk about the script, senior."

Lin Shuang was still sitting on the ground, cooling down. He tugged at his shirt to fan himself, trying to speed up the cooling process.

"...Where were we just now?"

"We were talking about... too many clubs, not enough time, and we still need to revise the script."

Xia Yubing was also fanning herself with her small hands, was she cooling down too? Lin Shuang didn’t know, he looked up to sneak a peek at her, then their eyes met as she also tried to sneak a peek at him.

Eyes met briefly then darted away, both of their gazes quickly bounced off, and they turned their bodies sideways.

"...Yeah, we’ll change it, I’ll listen to you."

Lin Shuang felt like his temperature might not be coming down anytime soon, he’d need to duck into the bathroom for a cold shower.

And while showering, he’d have to jump and shout weirdly: Yay!

When it came to the script, Xia Yubing’s voice grew louder, it seemed she had been planning this.

"Since we don’t have enough time, when we get on stage, we must focus on the key points, must emphasize the highlights."

"What key points are we rushing to..."

This time, Xia Yubing paused for a while before she spoke, "...We just, perform a wedding directly on stage."

She turned back to look at him, their eyes met, and Lin Shuang was the first to look away, causing her to blush and laugh.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"...A wedding?"

Isn’t this a bit too fast?

"It’s Romeo and Juliet’s wedding..."

Xia Yubing’s voice softened, with a hint of shyness, "It’s not ours."

Lin Shuang was even more bashful, somewhat at a loss for words, which emboldened her a bit more, or rather, made her want to tease him a bit.

She turned around, leaning close to his ear, "What is my senior thinking about?"

Lin Shuang’s ear tickled, and he wanted to flee, but there was a wall behind him, nowhere to escape.

Xia Yubing blew into his ear again, "Senior~ You wouldn’t be thinking about marrying me, would you?"

The summer breeze stirred outside the window, as if the whole world had turned into an ocean of oranges.

Oranges are very sweet.
