Chapter 71: The Fragrant and Round Big Pancake!

In order to protect her sister from Ye Xiao’s evil hands, Li Mengyue gathered immense courage and, in front of her cousin Jiang Mengwei, boldly took Ye Xiao’s delicate hand.

Ye Xiao, still unaware of what was happening, heard Li Mengyue loudly say,

“Cousin! Actually, I like girls, Xiao Xiao and I are a couple! Please help keep this a secret from our family!”

Li Mengyue’s expression was resolute, her tone powerful—no trace of the shyness she had shown earlier in the restroom.

For a moment, the surroundings fell silent. Countless eyes turned toward them. The campus goddess of Binhai University publicly announced she was a lesbian and chose to come out—this was certainly big news.

However, Li Mengyue’s choice of partner seemed a bit strange—a girl with dazzling yellow hair, a petite frame, who didn’t at all resemble a “butch” lesbian.

Some people were happy, while others were upset. The younger generation of lesbians who had once admired Li Mengyue as an idol now had a sparkle in their eyes. If their goddess was a “butch”, maybe they had a chance.

There were also those who loved pure yuri relationships, their eyes gleaming with fervor. Generally, pure lesbian relationships were something most yuri fans had only seen in manga or similar media. Although there were many lesbians within these circles, most kept their relationships private and wouldn’t make such a public declaration.

But these two groups were in the minority, and most people were just stunned! Some were even frustrated and angry. How could the campus goddess of Binhai University be “taken” by someone from another school, and a girl at that? This was a waste of resources!

Jiang Mengwei opened her mouth in disbelief, saying, “Mengyue, are you awake? Don’t joke about such things with me!”

Li Mengyue was a bit of a perverted loli fan—she not only liked dating girls but was also involved with someone so much younger. Jiang Mengwei couldn’t accept it at all.

“Ahahaha… of course, Mengyue wouldn’t joke about such things…”

Ye Xiao laughed nervously, trying to downplay the situation. She hadn’t expected Li Mengyue to be so direct, forcefully establishing their relationship. In reality, the two were more like teammates who’d set off firecrackers together, with no real romantic bond yet.

Moreover, Ye Xiao’s goal was to reach for the stars, and if this news spread, how could she go after other older girls?

Everyone knew she was a “predator,” and even with her cute loli appearance, some older girls would avoid her. This wasn’t good news.

Ye Xiao hadn’t yet crossed the boundary into romantic territory with Li Mengyue, but if she had, Li Mengyue might’ve even started resenting her.

Truth be told, Ye Xiao’s technique was excellent, and the experience was enjoyable—even though it was embarrassing, she had liked it.

Before Ye Xiao could respond, Li Mengyue had already pulled her to the side. Judging from Ye Xiao’s behavior, Li Mengyue understood exactly what kind of person she was. Ye Xiao was one of those types who lacked any responsibility, treating relationships like a casual game.

Though she appeared innocent, she was a total heartbreaker—a “Queen of the Sea”, likely responsible for ruining many girls’ lives.

But Ye Xiao had left some space for herself and hadn’t completely crossed the line. If she had, Li Mengyue would’ve been furious.

“Ye Xiao! You can do whatever you want with me, but you absolutely cannot touch Mengwei! I don’t care how many girlfriends you have, but if you’re trying to mess with my sister, you’ve got the wrong idea!” Li Mengyue warned.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao’s lips twitched.

“Little fish, how could I possibly do that? I’m too busy caring for you to hurt her.”

This vague response irritated Li Mengyue, who muttered in frustration, “If you touch Mengwei, we’ll be done!”

“Done? What kind of position is that?” Ye Xiao teased.

“Ah, I see—Little Fish Mengyue, are you jealous because you’re worried I’ll get closer to Mengwei? Are you afraid I’ll ignore you? Could it be… you’re actually jealous?” Ye Xiao laughed, teasing her more.

“Ah, you really are just a little fish, huh? You’re just afraid that Mengwei and I are only friends! Little fish~ little fish~”

Li Mengyue’s face turned red. She couldn’t help but think back to the image of Ye Xiao and Mengwei, so close, their hands intertwined—it was hard to accept.

Ye Xiao had returned and immediately sat next to Mengwei, very close!

Li Mengyue rubbed her temples in frustration.

“Anyway, I’m not letting you touch Mengwei!”

“Don’t worry, Sister Mengyue, even if I have many girlfriends, I won’t ignore you~ But only unattractive little fish get jealous, you know?”

“I’m not jealous!”

Li Mengyue was almost angry, feeling like she couldn’t argue with Ye Xiao. She turned and walked away in frustration.

Ye Xiao didn’t chase after her. With years of experience, she knew Li Mengyue was just throwing a little tantrum. A bit more effort next time, and she would calm down.

“Why did Mengyue leave?”

“Don’t worry, Sister Mengwei. Sister Mengyue said she remembered something and left first.”

“Oh, that girl… doesn’t even say goodbye.”

Jiang Mengwei joked, then turned to Ye Xiao, asking,

“If I sign with Yun-Xiao, what kind of contract would you offer me?”

“A base salary of 5,000, and a 50/50 share of song revenue. After signing, you’ll be an artist under Yun-Xiao, with the company covering social insurance. You’ll also get benefits during holidays.”

Jiang Mengwei certainly had the potential to become the next diva of the Chinese music industry. This deal seemed like a good investment.

But Jiang Mengwei was still an unknown, and Ye Xiao might be overselling the contract. Regardless, Jiang Mengwei didn’t mind. All she had to do was listen to Ye Xiao and record a few songs.

The 5000 salary was the same as her current position as a teaching assistant at Binhai University. The benefits were even better, and while she’d have to practice more, it also meant more free time.
