Chapter 258: Chu Yuanqing’s Big Reveal, a Shocking Scene That Would Stay With Her Daughter for a Lifetime

These words were spoken.

Kirimi Miyuki’s smile remained unchanged, but the coffee cup in her hand shook violently, spilling brown liquid onto the porcelain plate. While she was shocked, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Honey Qing must have done something bad behind my back with Charlotte, and then happened to be seen by Little Shu. Otherwise, with Little Shu’s personality, she wouldn’t have noticed it so quickly or asked directly.

Tang Liuli’s pupils shook, and she was greatly shocked. Could it be that Little Shu overheard something yesterday?

No, I must cut off this connection. If she finds out the truth and knows that everyone except her was at the naughty party, things could become very complicated!

Thinking of this, the girl simply played dead on the spot. She innocently looked at her phone, as if she hadn’t heard anything, pretending to be a quiet little cat.

Xie Qingxuan gracefully cut the sausage with a knife and fork, calmly picked up the pepper shaker, sprinkled a little on the edge of her plate, and then put a piece in her mouth. She curiously glanced at the expressions of those around her and then at the equally calm The Last Diva, as if she found the scene very interesting.

Chu Yuanqing was thrown into confusion by her daughter’s straightforwardness, but after taking a deep breath, she quickly calmed down.

Indeed, if I approach myself and Charlotte with a lesbian mindset, it is almost natural to think in that direction.

Moreover, being in Charlotte’s room so late yesterday did seem a bit ambiguous, so it would not be surprising if Little Shu noticed it.

Chu Yuanqing looked at her cute daughter’s slightly nervous face and realized she could not hide this matter any longer. She forced herself to calm down, pushing aside her unease and guilt towards the other little idols, and said helplessly:

"You could say it was a long time ago, or you could say we only officially confirmed our relationship a few days ago."

The words hung in the air.

The atmosphere in the room froze.

For everyone other than Chu Wang Shu, this had actually been a known fact for quite some time, but declaring it publicly changed everything.

Chu Yuanqing and Charlotte’s public announcement was a wonderful thing for them to proudly show their love, but it felt very unfair for the other little idols.

They were the first to provide magic to the Pure White Witch.

They were also the first to express their feelings to her.

The first to become teammates, secretly thinking about debuting together, were them.

And now, the only one Chu Yuanqing publicly acknowledged and recognized was Charlotte, who appeared later.

The most unfair part is that as long as they are unbothered now, Charlotte can openly be close to Chu Yuanqing in the team, while they have to keep hiding their feelings from Chu Wang Shu, like fish in a secret pond.

In short, any normal person would feel jealous in this situation.

After hearing Chu Yuanqing admit it, Tang Liuli stopped pretending to look at her phone. She lifted her gaze to Chu Yuanqing and then glanced at Chu Wang Shu, feeling a sudden emptiness in her chest.

What should she say? That she is also Little Qing’s girlfriend?

But wouldn’t that put Honey Qing in an awkward position?

No, more than that, she had a more sentimental thought deep inside her.

That is, she hoped Chu Yuanqing would take the initiative to say it out loud.

Only by doing so can she prove that she is not just a spare option, nor a replaceable choice, but a person who is truly loved, needed, and cherished.

To say it out loud feels like forcing Chu Yuanqing; even if Chu Yuanqing admits it, it does not prove anything, nor will it give her true security.

So, Tang Liuli chose to remain silent. She liked Chu Yuanqing very much, and ever since she recalled those memories, she liked her so much that she couldn’t let go of being ignored. But this did not stop her from understanding how much she meant to Chu Yuanqing.

Kirimi Miyuki also remained silent. Like Liuli, she was sensitive and thoughtful, understanding what the upcoming conversation meant. As her thoughts flowed, she suddenly recalled Zhong Wuyan and the little fox from that movie.

If it were the little fox, she would probably jump out and say that she had been with Little Qing for a long time, right?

But if it were Zhong Wuyan, all she could do in response was smile and stay silent.

The pink hue in the girl’s eyes dimmed a little and then returned to its usual sparkle. She swallowed her deep feelings of sadness and disappointment, silently added two cubes of sugar to her coffee, and quietly stirred with a spoon, deliberately missing the chance to join in the conversation.

Xie Qingxuan didn’t find things as complicated as the other two. She didn’t feel a sense of inferiority like Liuli and Miyuki due to their backgrounds and experiences; in fact, she was the first to regain her memories. She understood that with Chu Yuanqing’s personality, after that wild party, it was impossible for her to abandon everyone.

So, the golden retriever had no worries. She even thought that hiding her true identity and secretly having an affair was pretty nice; it not only brought a different kind of thrill but also made Honey Qing feel guilty, giving her a chance to explore many things they couldn’t do before.

After hearing this, Charlotte puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and pointed out:

"What do you mean a few days ago? It was clearly in the last life!"

"Although I can’t tell Little Shu about the situation, our relationship is very complicated, and…"

The Last Diva said, tapping the Pure White Witch’s boot with her toes. She wasn’t as slow as Chu Yuanqing; when she heard her daughter mention this, she understood that more needed to be revealed. Otherwise, even if Little Xuan didn’t say anything, Liuli and Miyuki would definitely feel sad.

Chu Yuanqing seemed dazed; she should have not understood Charlotte’s meaning, but she noticed Tang Liuli’s subtle expression and Kirimi Miyuki’s fading smile.

Tang Liuli had been abandoned by her mother and seen as a tool by her father. She was as sharp as a hedgehog, extremely insecure. If it weren’t for the emotional remnants from the previous world line, even with her bright charm shining through, it would be hard to reach the depths of another’s heart.

Kirimi Miyuki’s family was happy, but during most of her youth, she couldn’t go home. She had to chase her dreams alone in Tokyo, not knowing how many nights she walked back to her lonely little house, following the trail of neon lights, with dreams as her only companion.

When she first saw her, Chu Yuanqing noticed that Little Sakura had distinctive eyebrows and eyes. She was pure and beautiful, yet the corners of her eyes naturally turned down, giving her an innocent and melancholic aura when she didn’t talk or smile.

Kirimi Miyuki acted very well, but as long as she didn’t smile, she always seemed sad.

Chu Yuanqing took a deep breath. She held back her embarrassment and shame and, right in front of her surprised daughter, kissed Tang Liuli’s soft lips, tasting the flavor of grapefruit white tea again.

The Pure White Witch didn’t hesitate. With a dreamy golden mist in her eyes, she boldly revealed the dazzling light behind her lamp disguise. As her snowy white hair fell like the Tianshan mountains, she approached Little Sakura, ignoring her cute, blushing, and dazed expression, and gently lifted her chin to kiss her again.

— It was the taste of coffee, cotton candy, and cherry blossoms.

Finally, Xie Qingxuan made the first move. She wrapped her arms around the other’s waist like a little puppy and kissed Pure White Witch on the lips, creating a memorable moment that Chu Wang Shu would remember for a lifetime.

At some point, her adorable daughter’s mind seemed to break down. She felt a sense of confusion as if the world around her was changing, and with all the continuous shocks, she lost the ability to form words. Her brain stopped thinking, and her mind was filled with images of Honey Qing kissing everyone everywhere.

Chu Yuanqing calmed her quick breaths. With her snow-white eyelashes lowered, she quietly explained:

"Little Shu, I… like everyone."

"So, it’s not just Charlotte, but Miyuki, Liuli, and Qingxuan; we all have this kind of relationship."

This was without a doubt a scandalous statement, which would be shocking in a girl group.

Chu Yuanqing felt sad, but it wasn’t because of what happened. She didn’t mind making mistakes in front of everyone, as long as she didn’t let them down. However, the thought of being disliked by her daughter made her feel a deep sadness and disappointment. Maybe… she really wasn’t a good enough mother.

At that moment, everyone noticed Honey Qing’s feelings.

Tang Liuli pulled herself away from the sweet words and great joy.

The girl looked at Chu Yuanqing’s profile with confusion, starting to regret why she didn’t stop her from being honest. She knew that Little Qing, as Little Shu’s elder, wouldn’t want to be seen in such a messy situation.

But…

But she let Chu Yuanqing act this way for her own selfish reasons.

The green-eyed cat looked at her adorable daughter with wide eyes, closed them, and couldn’t help but admit:

"It was me who took Little Qing’s first kiss, and… there were many times I took advantage of her and did many bad things to Little Qing. I selfishly placed all my hopes on her, even though she was gentle and encouraging to me, I still had bad thoughts."

"So… this is not Little Qing’s fault. If Little Shu wants to blame someone, it should be me!"

Kirimi Miyuki couldn’t bear to let Chu Yuanqing take the blame. She didn’t even have time to feel jealous that Chu Yuanqing’s first kiss was stolen by Cat. At that moment, she hurriedly revealed her own feelings.

"It’s all my fault. I knew Little Qing didn’t see me that way, but I still dragged her into my issues with Liuli and Little Xuan. I said a lot of selfish things. From start to finish, it was me who wanted to have this kind of relationship with Little Qing."

Xie Qingxuan thought for a moment, and with the right energy, spoke confidently:

"Little Qing’s soul is the most beautiful, and just like how everyone wants to read poetry, even if we started over, I, Miyuki, and Liuli would still like her."

"So, I am not at fault at all, and Little Qing is definitely not at fault either."

"Little Shu cannot blame Little Qing, but you can blame me, because I often sneak into her bed without her permission."

Charlotte nodded and added:

"Little Xuan is right. We are already like a family. Our relationships have been good for a long time, so Little Shu can just continue to be with us like before."

Chu Wang Shu’s mind was confused, but as she thought about it, she felt unqualified to criticize other seniors because… she also had strange feelings for Honey Qing.

Although treating the other person like an elder mother is strange, isn’t it? If all the little seniors like girls, then liking Chu Yuanqing seems quite natural.

The reason this matter is so shocking is that she heard Charlotte and Chu Yuanqing’s "secret" in the recording yesterday. After confirming they were a couple, when she boldly asked, she received the startling news that Honey Qing is everyone’s partner.

This is too scary; even if Little Qing is the queen among girls, thinking about 1 against 4 would surely lead to problems, right? In that aspect, wouldn’t it be exhausting?

The thoughts of the lovely daughter are quite strange, but she really doesn’t dislike or blame Chu Yuanqing.

From her perspective, she feels she has no right to interfere in the other person’s private life. In fact, just asking when they got together is already crossing the line a bit.

But Honey Qing did not avoid this or lie about it; instead, she directly revealed the truth.

Even if this truth is shocking and delicate, with hints of a playboy vibe, the people involved didn’t feel anything amiss and instead took the blame upon themselves, so their relationship can’t simply be viewed as Honey Qing building a harem.

To be precise, as Sister Charlotte said, it feels like a family, a big family.

Saying this makes the idea of being a "bad" person seem much less significant.

On the other hand, in Chu Wang Shu’s eyes, the Pure White Witch is a priceless treasure in every sense.

Whether it’s beauty or charm, or personality and figure, she has already reached a flawless level, so… isn’t it the other senior girls who are taking advantage? What wrong has Honey Qing done?

Chu Wang Shu struggled to organize her thoughts, but still felt like she was in some kind of illusion, and she asked in confusion:

"So, in the team, besides me, is everyone else Little Qing’s girlfriend?"

Kirimi Miyuki’s face turned red; she put down her coffee cup and said hesitantly:

"Girlfriend… it’s not something that has been officially said, but if you ask about my hopes, I really do want to be Little Qing’s girlfriend."

Xie Qingxuan pondered for a moment and replied:

"I’m not sure if it counts, but if Little Qing is willing, being a third wheel could also…"

However, before the golden-haired dog could finish, Chu Yuanqing hurriedly covered her mouth.

The shy cat felt a bit unsure of herself. She blinked her bright green eyes and hesitated for a moment before softly saying:

"Since Little Qing is willing to say that, then I should… I should be considered one, right?"

Charlotte gently pinched her cute daughter’s cheek and seriously corrected her:

"No, that’s not right, Little Shu."

"Even though we haven’t officially married, we are undoubtedly Little Qing’s lovers!"

This statement felt natural to The Last Diva.

The term "girlfriend" is too simple and shallow for them, who had life-and-death bonds with the savior and had forged their destiny together in New Game Plus. It simply couldn’t capture the depth of their relationship.

Chu Wang Shu felt her ears burning. She couldn’t stand such mushy words but could only nod obediently under her mother’s "bullying" to show she understood.

Kirimi Miyuki also felt embarrassed. On Dongliu Island, high school students usually express their feelings in a subtle way, as using a word like love seemed too heavy and intense, something only silly anime couples would say too easily.

But… she really had no way to refuse being Chu Yuanqing’s lover.

Rather, as the purest one among the little idols, this description definitely felt closer to her heart than ‘girlfriend.’

The green-eyed cat also went through a similar journey, honestly accepting this sweet title, feeling strangely happy and a little bit brighter in spirit.

Xie Qingxuan thought it would be better to experience each one.

You see, being a girlfriend, a mistress, and a lover, each of these roles would surely bring different feelings.

But it’s okay; later, they can use cosplay to relive those experiences they haven’t had.

So, the golden retriever also calmly accepted this title.

Chu Wang Shu felt as if the air was filled with pink bubbles, and she was the only one who felt out of place. She couldn’t help but cover her face, feeling a strange sense of being bullied in an American way, questioning her life.

So… why did she only discover this now?

Upon thinking carefully, Sister Miyuki, Sister Xie, and Liuli had often been jealous about Honey Qing.

The lovely daughter began to doubt whether she was too slow to catch on, as she had always seen those moments as just normal friendly gestures between girls and never thought they meant anything more.

Chu Wang Shu stared blankly for a while, then realized something very important and exclaimed:

"So, ‘Meet You in the Mist’ is real?"

The green-eyed cat slammed the table and said:

"’Qing Ci Li Qu’ is also real!"

Chu Wang Shu looked at her childhood idol and started to wonder if she was the type to secretly create a fake account to dislike "Meet You in the Mist." She then glanced at Xie Qingxuan and suddenly remembered the trending topic on Weibo that day, feeling like she had just received a boomerang back.

Without needing to say much, Sister Xie openly expressed her desire to take wedding photos with Honey Qing, and she was almost done pretending in front of the fans, so "Qingcheng Qingguo" really couldn’t be more real.

Chu Wang Shu wasn’t a big fan and hadn’t followed any celebrities, but she often heard her classmates talk excitedly about certain stars and the daily discussions her roommates had about talent shows in their dorm.

So, she understood deeply how explosive the current situation was.

How should I put it? It’s like the joy of CP fans mixed with chaos, while the other tens of millions of fans are soaring high, causing ultimate terror that could break the ozone layer.

If I don’t keep this a secret, or if the seniors and Honey Qing are not careful, it seems that the entertainment industry might soon face a lesbian shock that will change the history of talent shows!

Chu Wang Shu suddenly became nervous; only then did she realize what kind of trust Honey Qing’s calm revelation represented, because once she was exposed, these four strong contenders from the Sea City division could fall from their pedestal in one blow!

In that moment, the awkward feeling of "not being invited to the party" was suddenly drowned by overwhelming emotion.

The lovely daughter took a deep breath, looked around at her teammates, her face serious and her eyes focused.

It’s decided; to prevent such things from happening, I will be the one in the team responsible for supervising proper conduct!
