Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady

Jiutiao Meijie propped up her body slightly, revealing her snow-white, fragrant shoulders.

Her captivating eyes stared quietly at Dubian Che.

"Don't get me wrong!" Dubian Che laughed, "This is not a threat. I genuinely think so. It even has nothing to do with love or not. You're mine, only mine..."

"I know." Jiutiao Meijie smiled along, "I've always thought the same."

The two exchanged smiles, their hearts drawing close.

"The possessiveness of two such people is terrifying. No matter how much they torment each other, they'll eventually fall for one another," Dubian Che pulled her back into his embrace and tucked in the blanket.

"Now you know how much this young lady loves you, right? Such strong possessiveness, and I still let you keep two lovers." Jiutiao Meijie, of course, was the type who would never admit she owed someone if she could avoid it.

"Mhm."

"That's not enough." Jiutiao Meijie scoffed, "A lifetime is too long. I have a feeling that sooner or later, you and Kiyono Lin will cause trouble."

"What would that happen? Just kill me when the time comes."

"Are you sure it won't happen?"

"Of course..." Dubian Che remembered that night above the Pacific, when it seemed as if the galaxy would pour down.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Jiutiao Meijie hummed coldly.

"Then you kill me when the time comes," Dubian Che said sincerely.

"If it really comes to that point, all three of us would surely die together, so why not live together?"

Dubian Che was startled, "What do you mean?"

"I want you to owe me." Jiutiao Meijie said, "If you can get Kiyono Lin to apologize to me on her own, then I will allow her to be with you, to be your lover."

"…Is that even possible?"

"Whether it's possible or not is your problem," Jiutiao Meijie said in a relaxed tone, "In any case, you owe me now."

"As for your reconciliation, I have a temporary method I could try, but a lover... I'm willing, but Kiyono Lin is not."

"Yes, she definitely won't be happy, but she must have the same faint premonition as I do that the three of us will end up together."

"How come I don't have that feeling?"

"Do you really not?"

"I really don't..."

Watching Dubian Che, who could not contain his laughter, Jiutiao Meijie pinched him hard.

"Really not, I'm not lying to you," Dubian Che quickly dodged, "Kiyono Lin is so stubborn, even if she agrees to be together, she won't allow it as a lover."

"Yeah, it will be another fight by then, but remember," Jiutiao Meijie said with a smile, "you owe me now."

"You bad woman." Dubian Che hugged her slim and tight waist, "To make Kiyono Lin apologize, to have Kiyono Lin as a lover—using such difficult conditions, almost an impossible task, to make me owe you."

"If it weren't because I don't want to worry my mother anymore, and don't want Aunt Youzi to fret about the Kiyono family's inheritance, I wouldn't even agree to that."

"I thought it was because you love me, and you're still concerned about Kiyono Lin in your heart."

"That's of course the main reason."

"So you do still care about Kiyono Lin in your heart," Dubian Che laughed.

"I'm warning you, these words are okay for us to say in bed, but if you dare tell anyone, I'll divorce you once we're back in Tokyo."

"We're not even married yet, sister."

Jiutiao Meijie responded to Dubian Che's teasing smile:

"If you dare tell anyone, I'll call those two women over, tell them that you said the person you love the most is me, and that being with them was only because..."

"Wait, wait, wait! We love each other, let's not torment each other anymore!"

"We'll see how you behave."

"I'll of course behave well. Come on, lift your legs, Mr. Dubian's everything belongs to Meiji."

"Get lost!" Jiutiao Meijie pulled out a pillow and covered Dubian Che's face with it.

Dubian Che removed the pillow, sat up with a turn, and pulled her beautiful legs to rest on either side of his waist.

Jiutiao Meijie lay across the bed, her night-like beautiful and luxurious hair spread out on the white bed, falling over the edge.

At eight-thirty, the two got up after their bath.

"What's the situation today?" Mrs. Jiutiao looked at the two coming down from upstairs.

At this time, it was too late for Dubian Che and too early for Jiutiao Meijie.

"Ah~~" Jiutiao Meijie yawned a long yawn and stretched contentedly, appearing to revel in post-sleep indolence.

"Is that a sign of having slept enough or not having slept enough?" Mrs. Kiyono asked curiously.

"Not enough." Jiutiao Meijie sat down at the dining table.

"Then why not sleep a little more?" Jiutiao Zhenji was concerned for her daughter.

"I was about to sleep, but Dubian insisted I get up for breakfast and suggested I can sleep more after eating," Jiutiao Meijie complained.

"The only one daring enough to wake Meiji is you, Mr. Dubian," Mrs. Jiutiao said with admiration.

"I've been awake for a while now," Dubian Che said.

"Awake for a while? What were you doing?" Mrs. Jiutiao asked with dubious intent.

"Something that can't be told to a third person," Dubian Che replied.

"Oh?" Mrs. Kiyono glanced toward Jiutiao Meijie.

"That's right," Jiutiao Meijie said with a smile, tearing off a piece of bread and putting it into her mouth.

Kiyono Lin entered from the villa's terrace with the morning light and fresh air, holding a book in her hand, as the two were having breakfast.

"I'm planning to go to the concert hall; do you want to come?" she asked Dubian Che.

"Sure," Dubian Che nodded, "Meiji, are you coming?"

Jiutiao Meijie waved her hand: "I'll go back to sleep after I finish eating."

"Ara," Kiyono Lin laughed, "I have to admire your courage, Jiutiao, to let me be alone with Mr. Dubian."

Jiutiao Meijie turned her head to look at her, smiled, and said nothing.

Kiyono Lin stopped smiling and looked at Dubian Che.

"Seeing Meiji's smile, Kiyono, does it remind you of something?" Dubian Che mused.

"What?"

"Last year, after you came out of the bathroom, I told you that you were not cute at all. It's the same smile you had then."

"The bathroom? Cute?" Mrs. Kiyono looked at the two.

"It's not a past with such ambiguity," Kiyono Lin explained before saying to Dubian Che, "Are you suggesting that she doesn't care about what I say?"

"So you didn't care about what I said before?" Dubian Che feigned surprise.

"Mr. Dubian, I hope you have some self-awareness, and also, learn when enough joking is enough..." Kiyono Lin pressed the temple of her unoccupied left hand with an exasperated tone.

"You need self-awareness too," Jiutiao Meijie said cheerfully, taking another bite of her salad with her fork and knife.

Kiyono Lin dropped her hand and her face turned cold.

"I'm done, let's go!" Dubian Che put down his utensils, wiped his mouth clean, and stood up.

"Don't come crying to me if you lose," Kiyono Lin said with a final glance at Jiutiao Meijie.

After they left, Mrs. Jiutiao asked her daughter, "Are you really going to let them be alone?"

"I'm going to sleep, what else can I do?" Jiutiao Meijie put down her cutlery and stretched lazily.

"You could have asked Dubian to stay."

"Zhenji!" Kiyono Youko protested, "We agreed not to meddle in their relationship, didn't we?"

"That time at Chunyu Balcony, when that Mayi kid came over, didn't you also incite the conflict between Meiji and Dubian?" Mrs. Jiutiao retorted.

"That was different, what you're doing is out of line."

"Yours doesn't count, but mine does; what kind of rule is that?"

"Didn't you also cheat when horse-riding?"

"We're talking about the children's feelings; why bring up horse-riding?"

"So you've been following the rules?"

"Both of you keep arguing," Jiutiao Meijie stood up, "I'm going to sleep."

Dubian Che and Kiyono Lin cycled through the sun-drenched forest.

"What book?" Dubian Che glanced at the hardcover book in her bike basket.

Kiyono Lin let go of the handlebars with her left hand, picked up the book, and showed the cover to Dubian Che.

Dubian Che glanced at the title: "What's it about? Something to do with cats?"

"No," Kiyono Lin put the book back in the basket, "A boy kills the lady of the house and in the end fools the police."

"It's such a nice day, let's not talk about such grim subjects."

"You were the one who asked, although I didn't answer you completely either."

They cycled side by side on the forest path, where the sunlight splintered into pieces.

They whizzed by the villas hidden among the trees, and the damp wind, mixed with the smell of grass, blew past them.

Dubian Che looked up at the sky, which appeared like a sea suspended, intermittently visible through the gaps in the leaves.

"Today might be the bluest day of the whole summer," Dubian Che said.

Kiyono Lin looked up: "The summer isn't over yet."

"No, Kiyono, Karuizawa is already on the cusp of autumn."
