Things done to Cherry Trees by Spring
During the kiss, Lin Xian found herself unknowingly being slowly embraced onto Xiao Wanqing’s thighs. After a long while, as Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian’s emotions gradually calmed down, Lin Xian was sitting across Xiao Wanqing’s legs, burying her face in Xiao Wanqing’s neck nook. Xiao Wanqing, with tender eyes, held her waist, feeling the affection of the loved one, filled with warmth and tenderness.
Suddenly, there was a vibration from the bedside table; it was Lin Xian’s phone.
“Hmm, let me see who that jerk mentioned by Manman is.” Lin Xian, hearing the sound, regained a bit of rationality and said reluctantly while lifting her head from Xiao Wanqing’s body.
Xiao Wanqing nodded, reaching out to assist Lin Xian in picking up the phone. Lin Xian, in her seated position across Xiao Wanqing, faced her and checked the message on the phone.
“It really is him.” Lin Xian, after a quick glance, said with a pout.
“Who?” XiaoWanqing’s eyes carried a rare sharpness.
“Do you remember that guy who drunk dialed me a while back? It’s him.”
Originally, Lin Xian didn’t think of Zhang Sichao. From childhood to adulthood, and just counting university alone, the number of people who she had openly or covertly rejected was not small. The people she encountered, regardless of gender, although there might be brief awkwardness after being rejected, most could still return to a normal student relationship with her. Even for the few who couldn’t, they still managed to maintain a superficially friendly nodding acquaintance with her.
She had never encountered someone who, after being rejected, would act maliciously and without grace.
However, Lin Xian later reviewed the personnel and interpersonal relationships of the student group. She had always been kind to others, was not a class leader, nor did she stay in a dorm, so there was no way she could have offended anyone seriously. The most likely person to consider having offended was Zhang Sichao. But she had no evidence, so she also didn’t dare to jump to conclusions rashly.
Now, everything has become clear.
“A common man is not guilty; he is guilty if he carries a jade. This boy is really lacking in grace,” Xiao Wanqing frowned unhappily. “Xianxian, then how did he find out?” Xiao Wanqing was more concerned about this.
“Manman said, it was Wang Zi who told Zhang Sichao.” Wang Zi is her classmate.
“Wang Zi has liked Zhang Sichao for a long time but never made it clear, and they have been playing a game of being intimate friends without defining their relationship. Later, after Zhang Sichao was rejected by me, looking so heartbroken, Wang Zi stayed by his side. Unable to bear it, she told him about my liking for girls, intending to comfort him that it wasn’t because he wasn’t good enough, but because of my own issues. It’s my fault that Wang Zi knew,” Lin Xian blamed herself. “It must have been when I was passing a note to Chen Zhi, and she saw it accidentally from the seat behind.”

Xiao Wanqing wrapped her arm around Lin Xian’s shoulders, gently rubbing her forehead with her chin, and said softly, “Xianxian, this is not your fault. It’s their fault for not respecting privacy, for being impolite and lacking in restraint.”
Hearing this, Lin Xian felt warmed and smiled slightly, leaning on Xiao Wanqing as she continued, “As for how Manman found out about this, she, Chen Zhi, and Tang Mo kept pestering classmates, indirectly getting the information out. Wang Zi and Zhang Sichao did not hide their actions. Wang Zi, on the day she saw the note, went back to the dormitory and told her roommates about it, but her roommates either didn’t believe her or thought it wasn’t a big deal, so they didn’t take her seriously. After Zhang Sichao learned about this from Wang Zi, he complained while drunk during a gathering with classmates.”
The smile on Lin Xian’s lips deepened, and she said with relief, “Panpan, actually, it’s pretty good. Chen Zhi and Momo are angry for me, Manman and those classmates who have vaguely guessed about me still interact with me normally in our daily life, without looking at me with prejudice. Even, I recall, one or two of them indirectly asked me about it, then expressed some support for true love or something. I didn’t think much about it at the time. You see, there will always be some narrow-minded people with evil intentions and prejudices, but there are also many who are kind-hearted and supportive.”
Lin Xian’s optimism and courage moved Xiao Wanqing. Seeing her smile, Xiao Wanqing felt a bit teary. What she feared the most was that Lin Xian couldn’t bear such injustice and pressure from public opinion. But Lin Xian, truly, was unexpectedly brave and optimistic.
Still, the girl was facing such unfairness for the first time; she must have felt so aggrieved and sad. In front of her, however, Lin Xian never mentioned a word about it.
“Xianxian, you also have the right to be afraid and sad. Don’t force yourself to be strong for me. Tell me, we can share it together,” Xiao Wanqing said, both heartbroken and touched.
Lin Xian bit her lip, wrapping her arms around Xiao Wanqing, and admitted in a muffled voice, “As long as I’m with you, I’m not afraid of anything. I’m just slightly unwilling. Actually, whether I can become a regular employee is not that important to me. But the possibility of being forcibly deprived of what originally belonged to me makes me uncomfortable. Also, I’m a bit worried if the counselor might contact my mom and blow this thing out of proportion. I know we’re not ready yet.”
Xiao Wanqing’s gaze deepened, and after a moment, she had a thought and comforted Lin Xian, “Xianxian, don’t worry. This matter, to the counselor, is really just about his attitude towards your regularization. Other than that, it’s not within his jurisdiction to meddle, and he won’t rashly contact your parents. Xianxian, what’s yours will definitely be yours.”
Believing in Xiao Wanqing’s grasp and analysis of the matter, Lin Xian felt somewhat relieved. “Then I’m relieved.” Her eyebrows and eyes curved, she said in relief, “Just consider it an accidental dog bite.”
She lowered her head, continuing to scroll through the messages sent by Shi Man, and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Manman is too amazing.”
“Hmm?” Xiao Wanqing’s curiosity was piqued.
“Look.” Lin Xian flipped her phone screen towards Xiao Wanqing.
Xiao Wanqing looked intently for a few seconds and was also surprised, “Did Manman dig out all his online information?”
Zhang Sichao’s former girlfriends’ accusations and complaints about cheating and freeloading on Weibo, his own posts on Tieba about flirting, boasting about hookups, using a secondary account for abusing animals, insulting teachers, and using highly offensive language to diss the party and such indecent acts were all organized by Shi Man. In fact, these issues are neither big nor small. But undoubtedly, if exposed, the tags of being both academically and morally excellent and the so-called ‘male god’ label on him would be stripped clean. And as a formal party member, just the last act of dissing alone is enough to solidify his image as having an improper style. If things blow up, it’s not impossible for him to be expelled from the party.
“Manman found someone to help dig them out. She asked me how I wanted to teach him a lesson, and if I wanted to escalate the situation, she could find someone to help me handle it.” Lin Xian had a touched look in her eyes. Shi Man really was a righteous friend. She had never asked Shi Man to take care of those who complained about her, yet Shi Man took it to heart and quickly helped her to this extent.

“So, what do you think, Xianxian?” Xiao Wanqing asked for Lin Xian’s opinion with a calm gaze.
Surprisingly, Lin Xian shook her head, showing leniency, “Let it be. A small lesson to teach him not to act smart and talk nonsense is enough.”
Lin Xian had always believed in the principle of not provoking others unless provoked. But loving someone gave her both armor and vulnerability. She was now afraid that pushing too hard could make a desperate dog lash out, and it would be bad if Xiao Wanqing got involved.
“Okay, I support you.” Xiao Wanqing’s eyes softened as she stroked Lin Xian’s cheek, “My Lin Xiaoxian, is a forgiving and kind person.” She felt a bit relieved in her heart.
Actually, no matter what decision Lin Xian made, she would support her. She was even prepared to help if Lin Xian chose to escalate the affair. But she also worried that if Lin Xian had such a vindictive and sharp nature, it might protect her but also easily hurt her. Fortunately, Lin Xian was not like that.
Lin Xian licked Xiao Wanqing’s slender hand by her lips, her gaze drifting towards Xiao Wanqing’s slightly lowered neckline, seeing the white skin undulating slightly, visible and hidden, her thoughts started to stray, with a heated and sly smile appearing in her eyes.
She leaned closer to Xiao Wanqing, suggesting, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter. Now, let’s take care of something else, shall we?”
“What?” Xiao Wanqing asked innocently.
“It’s on fire here.” Lin Xian, with a low and gentle tone, took Xiao Wanqing’s hand and placed it on her heart.
Xiao Wanqing’s hand was scorched by the heat in Lin Xian’s eyes. Her kiss spreading the fire to her entire body.
Wanting to do on the girl what spring does to cherry trees, Xiao Wanqing’s throat moved slightly, her hand resting on Lin Xian’s waist tightened imperceptibly, struggling to contain her eagerness.
In the last moments when she could still think rationally, Xiao Wanqing, with the girl’s small tongue in her mouth, thought helplessly and with amusement, “Isn’t Xianxian afraid of bleeding to death? Can we really do this?”
But the girl’s warm words and brave actions today made her only want to offer herself completely, to satisfy her fully, to please her.
Xiao Wanqing covered her eyes, indulging her.
The next day, Lin Xian had an early class. After breakfast, she went to school. After sending Lin Xian off, Xiao Wanqing went back to her room to get ready. Assuming that the school staff would already be at work, she stood on the balcony, looking at the bustling traffic in the distance, and called Lin Xian’s counselor.
The call was quickly answered.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Xiao Wanqing’s voice was soft and polite. She got straight to the point, “Teacher Chen, hello, I am Lin Xian’s guardian, Xiao Wanqing. We met briefly last year at the finance department’s exchange lecture during the school anniversary.”
Hearing “Lin Xian’s guardian,” Teacher Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He guessed it must be about yesterday’s incident. Lin Xian was considered a key talent by the department, and under normal circumstances, considering her grades and overall performance, she would be the first to be considered for various honors, awards, and opportunities. The issue raised by Zhang Sichao seemed big and yet not so significant, but it still felt like a thorn in his throat. If Lin Xian really was homosexual, he needed to reconsider whether Lin Xian could truly hold the word “character” in “excellent in both character and learning.”
He was still hesitating whether to meddle and communicate with Lin Xian’s guardian about this matter, but Lin Xian’s guardian took the initiative to call.
This order of actions made a big difference.
It seemed like she was coming to accuse him.
