Snow-Kissed Rose (GL) Chapter 70.2

The chat was full of discussions about Snow-Kissed Rose.

As Song Yingshi and Huai Xu had flown to B City late, not many fans could come and greet them. Even so, some photos of them appearing in B City's airport still found their way onto the internet. Fortunately, that was about all that was leaked. Nobody managed to secure any photographic evidence of their little outing. Though even if that did happen, they would, at worst, receive a lecture from Director Wu when they returned.

SSDL's livestream for tomorrow was intended as a small fan service for the fans. Song Yingshi, Huai Xu, and Hu Wan would stream for an hour inside one of SSDL's brand image stores. This information was only released this afternoon, but it seemed to have already garnered much attention from the fans.

Song Yingshi originally visited this group chat to "study," but she became immersed in reading the chats before she realized it. She even laughed at some of their dirty talk and couldn't help but wonder where these kids had learned to speak.

After Song Yingshi had her fill of entertainment, she looked up the link from last time and clicked on it. However, to her surprise, she was informed that the webpage no longer existed.

How can this be?

Little Hatchling: "Did the link from last time get censored?"

When Song Yingshi made her presence known, her acquaintances enthusiastically greeted her.

Yuanyuan: "Caught myself a Little Hatchling! Where have you been these past few days? We tagged you many times, but you never responded."

Soft and Delicate 0: "Have you gotten together with your future girlfriend yet?"

Little Painter: "What link?"

When Song Yingshi saw the flood of messages, she quickly replied to them one by one.

Little Hatchling: "I haven't been checking my phone the past two days, so I didn't see the tags."

Little Hatchling: "She and I are okay. We're together tonight as well (sleeping in separate beds, don't ask), but we still can't be together officially at the moment."

Little Hatchling: "I'm referring to the link that @Super Nice Big Sister shared last time. I haven't had time to read it before, but now it's gone."

…

Jing Xuan had just finished browsing Snow-Kissed Rose's Weibo Super Topic, so her head was filled with her CP's schedule. When she saw Little Hatchling disappearing and reappearing in such a timely manner, she promptly decided to tease the other party:

"@Little Hatchling, why does your schedule look so similar to Snow-Kissed Rose's? Little Shi and Huai Xu had to surrender their phones on the 30th, while you also went missing on the 30th. They should've recovered their phones today since they left the White Tower for activities, while you also coincidentally reappeared today. And according to my intel, Snow-Kissed Rose should be staying in the same room right now, while you…"

You're Cutest: "It's true! Moreover, Little Shi and Huai Xu are idols, so they can't officially announce their relationship or openly date each other!"

Song Yingshi: ?

As more people followed suit and poked fun at her, Song Yingshi felt that her cover was at risk of being blown. Fortunately, there was a simple way to fix this problem.

Little Hatchling: "Do you think Snow-Kissed Rose will need to read a tutorial on lovemaking?"

Everyone:

"You're right."

"I can't refute it."

"Little Hatchling, I didn't think you were a student hatchling! You're probably still in high school, right? Did your school confiscate your phone and threaten to return it if you do well on your tests?"

Song Yingshi: "..."

Song Yingshi didn't want to quibble with her fans over her age. Right now, she only cared about one thing: "Can someone share a copy of that document in the group?"

Someone in the group: "@Super Nice Big Sister is probably asleep at this hour, and I don't think anyone here has a copy. Should I recommend a few Weibo accounts for you to browse? You should be able to find something useful there."

After thinking it over, Song Yingshi responded: "That works as well, thanks."

Shortly afterward, several Weibo IDS appeared in the chat, accompanied by a summary of their characteristics and what "study materials" they could provide.

Song Yingshi copied the IDs to her notepad one by one. When she finished copying the third ID, there was a knock on the door.

"Little Shi."

Song Yingshi's heart shuddered. After putting down her phone and straightening her clothes, she got out of bed and opened the door, asking, "What's up?"

After asking her question, Song Yingshi began looking at the person before her from top to bottom.

Currently, Huai Xu stood outside the door, covered in moisture. A few strands of her ink-link hair hung down her face, while the rest was loosely tied behind her head. Her pristine calves were exposed under her nightdress, with a few drops of water clinging to them.

Huai Xu still hadn't changed her habit of not drying herself thoroughly after bathing. Her nightdress stuck to her skin in some places, and the wet marks ambiguously outlined her plump and curvy frame.

When Song Yingshi saw Huai Xu's current state, she subtly swallowed some saliva.

Facing Song Yingshi's undisguised leering, Huai Xu said calmly, "If you keep acting this way, neither of us will be able to work tomorrow."

Song Yingshi: "..."

Song Yingshi could hear the threat in Huai Xu's voice. Immediately, she frowned and defended herself, "I was simply admiring beauty."

Song Yingshi grew more confident as she spoke. Frankly, she continued, "You should have more self-awareness. Don't you know how beautiful you are? It's only normal for me to admire you. You can also look at me. When have I ever said anything when you looked at me?"

Huai Xu couldn't be bothered to argue with Song Yingshi over this trivial topic. Frowning, she said, "Go wash up."

Song Yingshi hummed in affirmation before retrieving her nightdress from her suitcase. However, as she walked to her suitcase, Huai Xu interjected, "I've already hung your nightdress in the closet."

"The closet?" Song Yingshi raised an eyebrow.

Huai Xu entered Song Yingshi's room, opened the closet, and pointed at the nightdress inside.

Song Yingshi went over to grab her nightdress, saying, "Thanks."

Huai Xu hummed and turned around, seeing Song Yingshi's phone on the bed lighting up.

When Song Yingshi turned around, she saw Huai Xu looking in a different direction. When she followed Huai Xu's gaze, she saw that her phone had lit up, indicating that she had received a message.

Song Yingshi: !!!

Song Yingshi immediately stood between Huai Xu and her phone. As she bent down to grab her phone, she laughed dryly and said, "Oh, did I receive a new message?" How much did Huai Xu see?! What did she see?!

Huai Xu didn't hear the panic in Song Yingshi's voice. Indifferently, she replied, "If you count group chats as new messages."

Feigning calmness, Song Yingshi said, "I just joined a group for fun. I usually just look at it and occasionally show up to chat."

"I haven't seen you chatting much in Spring Star's group," Huai Xu stated.

"I'll let you watch me in action later," Song Yingshi said.

Song Yingshi didn't relax her guard. She had long since understood Huai Xu's character; silence didn't mean obliviousness. Even if Huai Xu wasn't saying anything now, it didn't mean she hadn't seen anything. It was safer to assume Huai Xu had seen everything.

Nevertheless, Song Yingshi didn't want to out herself without concrete evidence. While harboring a fluke mentality, she locked her phone and changed the topic, saying, "Alright, I'm going to shower now. You head back to your room; we'll meet in the group chat later."

Huai Xu said nothing else and left the room.

After being tormented by Huai Xu, Song Yingshi quickly showered, grabbed her phone, opened WeChat, located the group embarrassingly named "Snow-Kissed Rose Support Group - Star of Spring Branch," and started chatting with the trainees out for work.

Huai Xu rarely spoke in the group, only sending short messages from time to time. Song Yingshi couldn't help but shake the feeling that she was being monitored, and that Huai Xu was constantly preventing her from switching messengers to visit GLaC's chat group.

Song Yingshi's suspicions weren't baseless. Whenever she was determined to switch to QQ, Huai Xu would make a timely appearance in the group.

Eventually, Song Yingshi's drive to "study" wilted, and she sighed and fell asleep while socializing in the Snow-Kissed Rose Support Group - Star of Spring Branch.
