Love you forever
Zuo Jingyou’s sigh resounded softly in Yin Bai’s ear. From her tone, Yin Bai finally caught the subtle clues of her emotional state.
Yin Bai closed the storage cabinet, raised her hand, and held Zuo Jingyou’s hand. Looking up at her, she said, “I have never denied, nor will I deny, that I liked Xiao Nian. It was because of past experiences that I have grown into who I am now.”
Yin Bai held Zuo Jingyou’s hand and brought it to her lips, leaning down to to kiss it. “I am grateful for having had that history with Xiao Nian. She made me understand the kind of lover I should be.”
Yin Bai raised her gaze and looked at Zuo Jingyou with deep affection in her gray-blue eyes. “Back then, I was too young and didn’t understand what true love was.”
“If it had been you that I met back then, I would have been ashamed and unworthy to love you.”
Yin Bai let out a soft sigh as she intertwined her fingers with Zuo Jingyou’s, looking at her and saying, “Zuo Jingyou, you should know that I love you so much.”
Zuo Jingyou pursed her lips and lowered her gaze to Yin Bai. She raised her hand and gently ruffled Yin Bai’s smooth black hair, giving a slight smile. “I know, I don’t doubt that… I’m just…”
Zuo Jingyou pondered for a moment, searching for the right words. “You know, this kind of feeling is hard to explain clearly…”
In short, it’s like even though everything seems clear in my mind and I can convince myself, I still can’t help but feel jealous.
Yin Bai looked at her, understanding her attempt to conceal what couldn’t be concealed, and nodded knowingly. “Ah, I understand. I often have that feeling too…”
She curved her lips and smiled kindly at Zuo Jingyou. “Zuo Jingyou would mind such things, and that makes me so happy!”
Zuo Jingyou curved her lips and, for a rare moment, a shy expression appeared on her face. “I don’t mind, I just…”
“I understand, I understand… You’re just feeling jealous.”
Upon hearing that word, a faint blush quickly spread across Zuo Jingyou’s cheeks. She raised her hand and pinched Yin Bai’s ear, still trying to argue, “I’m not…”
Ah, how troublesome. Just when she should have been slow-witted, she had to expose her mask!
As Zuo Jingyou touched Yin Bai’s ear, Yin Bai felt a tingling sensation throughout her body, making her itch and feel weak. She huddled her body, evading Zuo Jingyou’s attack, and coaxed her in a gentle and pleasant voice, saying, “Yes, yes, you didn’t.”
She lifted her hand and held Zuo Jingyou’s wrist, looking up at her. “Alright, alright~ It’s just my habit to keep gifts given by others.”
“So all the gifts that Teacher Zuo has given me, I have carefully preserved them in this home, you know!”
Yin Bai kissed her again, holding her hand against her own face, her eyes shining with affection as she looked at Zuo Jingyou. “In the next five years, ten years… Teacher Zuo, you must give me more gifts to fill this home.”
Zuo Jingyou used her thumb to caress Yin Bai’s tender cheek, watching her pleasing expression. The slight hint of jealousy that had surfaced in her heart gradually subsided.
She cradled Yin Bai’s face in one hand, her eyes filled with a smile. “Isn’t it about filling your bank safe with my gifts?”
Well, it seemed that they couldn’t avoid the topic of their exes after all.

Yin Bai blinked, looking at Zuo Jingyou. “Sure, wherever Teacher Zuo wants me to keep your things, I will keep them there.”
“I belong to Teacher Zuo, and my belongings are at Teacher Zuo’s disposal.”
Being someone who often acted as the mediator, Yin Bai knew exactly what to say to make the other person happy.
Having successfully pleased Zuo Jingyou, Zuo Jingyou reached out and pinched Yin Bai’s face, looking at her with indulgence. “You said it wrong. You are not mine, and of course, I am not yours. You simply love me and are willing to do anything for me.”
Yin Bai was a person with exceptional learning abilities. Upon hearing Zuo Jingyou’s words, she quickly adjusted her own statement. “Yes, that’s right! Because I love Teacher Zuo deeply, I am willing to do anything for Teacher Zuo!”
“As long as Teacher Zuo has any needs, I will fulfill them without hesitation!”
It seems that at the beginning of every relationship, couples tend to say things like “I am willing to do this for you” or “I will love you forever.”
These promises are spoken so casually, as if they are just fleeting moments, easily achieved.
From the very beginning, Zuo Jingyou was not someone who believed in the concept of “forever.” But she knew that at this moment, Yin Bai’s love was genuine.
So these promises, these hollow, empty words, made her feel so sweet.
Zuo Jingyou became happy and leaned down to kiss Yin Bai’s forehead, smiling as she said, “Alright, my willing little knight who is ready to face any challenge, the little princesses are almost home. Let’s go together and welcome them, and continue your birthday party!”
Knowing that Zuo Jingyou had been reassured, Yin Bai nodded and smiled. “Okay~”
After Zuo Jingyou pushed Yin Bai out of the collectibles room, it didn’t take long for the Auntie to bring the two children back home. Since Professor Sun had gone out for an exchange program, dinner was shared by Yin Bai, Zuo Jingyou, and the children.
Zuo Jingyou personally cooked for Yin Bai, and while they waited for dinner to be ready, Yin Bai, accompanied by the two children, began unwrapping the gifts she had received today.
The children had only learned that it was Yin Bai’s birthday a few days ago, but they eagerly and anxiously prepared gifts for her. As Yin Bai busied herself with unwrapping the presents, Tongtong and Wenwen stood in a line in front of her, nudging each other and simultaneously calling out, “Fairy Sister…”
Yin Bai raised her gaze and looked at the two children in front of her, smiling as she asked, “What’s the matter?”
Tongtong took a deep breath, straightened her little chest, and brought out the gift hidden behind her, handing it to Yin Bai. “Fairy Sister, happy birthday!”
Yin Bai lowered her head and saw that it was a painting. In the painting, there was a remarkably slender and tall figure with big blue eyes, fair skin, and black hair wildly dancing in the air. The figure held a “magic wand” pointing straight to the sky, and a “witch” with a wide smile stood among a cluster of flowers.
The mouth in the painting was truly too big, as if it could swallow a child, sending a chilling and eerie feeling.
After nearly two years of being together, Yin Bai knew that her little companion probably didn’t inherit her mother’s talent for painting. Her art style had always been wild and abstract.
Despite the two years of practice, Yin Bai still hadn’t gotten used to her little companion’s rough and abstract art style. When she saw this painting, she was still taken aback.
She blinked at Tongtong and asked, “Is this me?”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Tongtong, oblivious to her own artistic ability, nodded emphatically upon hearing Yin Bai’s question. “Yes!”
Tongtong’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she sweetly said to Yin Bai, “Fairy Sister, happy birthday! I hope you’ll be this happy and smile like this every day. You look so beautiful when you smile!”
Yin Bai innocently blinked her eyes, thinking that it would be quite difficult to smile in such a terrifying manner. And could this smile really be called beautiful?
Yin Bai carefully put away the gift and looked at Tongtong with deep gratitude. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome!”
After Tongtong finished speaking, Wenwen stepped forward with a smile and said to Yin Bai, “Fairy Sister, I also have a gift for you~”
Yin Bai smiled and looked at her, asking, “Cutie, what gift are you giving me? Is it also a painting?”
Their artistic talents were more or less on par, both capable of creating equally awe-inspiring works.
Yin Bai was prepared to see another portrait of herself, but to her surprise, Wenwen shook her head and said with a cheerful smile, “Nope~”
As Wenwen said that, she took out her gift from behind and placed it in front of Yin Bai. “Ta-da! It’s a leaf! It’s a beautiful leaf I picked when we went on an autumn outing a few days ago!”
Yin Bai took the leaf and examined it. It was a thick, intricately patterned tea leaf, truly beautiful.
Yin Bai took the leaf and smiled at Wenwen.
With her hands behind her back, Wenwen confidently said, “This is the most beautiful leaf I’ve ever seen. The teacher said it can be used as a bookmark, to be kept for a lifetime. I hope our friendship can be cherished by you like this leaf.”
Growing another year older, Sun Jingwen, just like her sister, Zuo Ruotong, was now a child full of sugar-coated words.
Yin Bai chuckled and ruffled Wenwen’s head. “Alright, I will keep it safe.” She then asked Zhang Yu to turn the leaf into a bookmark specimen, preserving it forever.
After seeing her sister’s gift getting received, Tongtong reached out and tugged at Yin Bai’s sleeve. Looking up at her with bright, shining eyes, she said, “Fairy Sister, my mom said that on your birthday, you’re the lucky star.”
“You’re the lucky star today, so can you share a bit of your luck with me?”
Yin Bai blinked in confusion and asked, “How do I share it?”
Tongtong’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled mischievously and said, “If you let me give you a kiss, then I can get a bit of your luck, right?”
What was this?
Yin Bai tilted her head and thought for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed to the side of her face. She said, “Alright then, go ahead and give me a kiss here.”
Tongtong grabbed Yin Bai’s hand and pounced on her, giving her a quick peck on the face. After the kiss, Tongtong made a scissor hand gesture and happily exclaimed, “Yay! I’m lucky too! I’m definitely going to get first place in tomorrow’s exam.”
Hey, was she some kind of lucky charm? Could things really be calculated like this?
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Seeing this, Wenwen also grabbed Yin Bai’s hand and shouted, “I want luck too! I want to get first place in tomorrow’s exam too!”
After saying that, Wenwen gave Yin Bai two quick kisses on the face. “I kissed twice, so I’ll be even luckier tomorrow!”
Tongtong thought that two kisses sounded better, so she also planted one more kiss on Yin Bai’s face. The two children treated Yin Bai as their mascot, continuously showering her with kisses.
Yin Bai, who had always been somewhat germophobic, reluctantly endured the saliva on her face and said helplessly, “Hey, friends, kissing me won’t do anything. You should focus on studying!”
What kind of bad habit was this! They should change it quickly!
Zuo Jingyou came out of the kitchen and called them to the dining room for dinner, only to witness the scene of Yin Bai being pulled and bombarded with kisses by the children.
As she watched Yin Bai try to shield her face and desperately avoid the playful children, she couldn’t help but smile.
Well, having three lively children at home was truly wonderful.
