Extra 2 Part 2
Qiao Yu x Lin Qing in the Parallel World
“Don’t be so quick to reject me, Qiao Yu.”
Lin Qing’s tone was gentle, but it inexplicably made Qiao Yu feel a calm fervor burning within her. Hesitating, she relaxed her grip, and Lin Qing immediately pressed her hand against her chest.
“You’ve been running for so long. It’s time we talked about what happened before you left.”
Can you talk? Yes, you can, but do you really have to say it in this way?
Qiao Yu looked at her own palm in horror, desperately trying to maintain her strength so as not to let it touch Lin Qing’s body. Lin Qing didn’t continue to force her, just held her hand, not letting her leave.
“You said before that you could be sure of your feelings for me because you had desires for me.”
“…Even though I did say that…”
But being repeated by Lin Qing at this moment was really too painful! Qiao Yu’s expression twisted as she gritted her teeth, wishing she could disappear into the ground immediately. Lin Qing wasn’t affected by her resistance at all, only blushing slightly at the tips of her ears and continuing calmly.
“Then I also have a way to let you be sure whether my feelings for you are love or not.”
“…”
To be honest, Qiao Yu didn’t even want to ask her what method she had. Her mind was filled with ominous premonitions, making her alert unconsciously. Then she saw Lin Qing purse her lips and smile lightly.
“This method is exactly what the us in the parallel world are doing.”
As soon as she said this, Qiao Yu couldn’t stay any longer. She turned around and wanted to run away, but Lin Qing held her tightly, refusing to let go. Qiao Yu, afraid of hurting Lin Qing with too much force, had no choice but to cry and try to reason with her.
“Lin Qing, do you know what you’re saying… Don’t joke about this kind of thing…”
“Joke?”
Lin Qing’s movements suddenly stopped. Then she loosened her grip and let go of Qiao Yu. Due to inertia, Qiao Yu stumbled a few steps forward and then instinctively turned back, only to see Lin Qing—without any hesitation—starting to undress.

“?! Hey!”
Qiao Yu couldn’t keep up with the development of the situation and didn’t know whether she should cover her eyes first or help Lin Qing put her clothes back on. At the same time, alarm bells rang in her mind: Is there any company surveillance here?
If there is, she’ll have to hack in and delete all the footage later… Ah, she suddenly decided to do something against company discipline.
Qiao Yu had no romantic thoughts, only fear. Watching Lin Qing take off her coat and continue, she hurriedly picked up the coat and wrapped Lin Qing with it, trying to control the slight struggle of the person in her arms.
“What are you doing—this is the company!”
“So, it’s okay if it’s not the company?” Lin Qing faced her gaze head-on, full of seriousness. “Since you say I’m joking, I have to let you know how serious I am.”
“……”
Would this person really be so serious about such a thing? Qiao Yu suddenly felt dazed and bit her lip in frustration.
“You know… I would never joke about such things, Qiao Yu.”
Lin Qing looked deeply at her, making Qiao Yu unconsciously avert her eyes, a trace of guilt rising in her heart.
“I was wrong just now, I spoke carelessly.” Knowing that her instinctive desire to escape had provoked Lin Qing, Qiao Yu took a deep breath to calm herself and spoke again, “But your method is too, too extreme, there’s no need—”
“Is it very extreme? Isn’t this the same method you used to discern your feelings?”
Lin Qing didn’t hold back her sharpness, becoming especially aggressive, her eyes darkening slightly.
“…I say I love you, and you don’t believe me. So what should I do?”
“I can’t lose you again, Qiao Yu, otherwise I really will—”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but it made Qiao Yu’s heart ache. She opened her mouth, but didn’t speak.

“It was wrong of me not to tell you about going on a blind date before. I won’t do it again in the future.” Lin Qing’s voice softened, gradually taking on a nasal tone. She carefully wrapped her arms around Qiao Yu’s neck, and when she felt no resistance, gently buried her face in Qiao Yu’s embrace, rubbing slightly with a bit of grievance. “Don’t be mad at me, okay?”
“…Okay.”
Qiao Yu felt that she always became tongue-tied in front of Lin Qing, and after a long while could only utter this one word, sighing in defeat.
She always felt so useless in front of Lin Qing.
“Then, date me, Qiao Yu?”
The topic jumped too quickly!
Before she had time to mock herself, she was hit by another wave from Lin Qing, leaving her at a loss. She looked over, only to meet a pair of eyes that seemed to hold unspoken words.
“You said you love me.”
“And I love you too.”
The person in her arms spoke stubbornly and urgently, tightening her embrace, looking at her intently.
“If you still don’t believe that I really love you, then as I just said, you can… confirm it anytime.”
Even Lin Qing, who proposed this method, blushed a bit at this point, her voice lowering ambiguously, “You know I would never do that kind of thing with someone I don’t like.”
“The desire you mentioned… I have it too.”
Qiao Yu, not having much dignity, felt her brain heating up to the point of almost shutting down, could only put on a “I don’t understand what you’re saying” expression, which made Lin Qing angry enough to pinch her waist gently.
“Be my lover, and never leave me.”
Lin Qing repeated, looking especially solemn, then as if remembering something, raised her eyebrows slightly and added.

“I have only one condition—you have to call me Qingqing in the future.”
“That’s a bit…”
“We’re lovers, isn’t that natural!”
Natural? Qiao Yu’s overheated brain was a bit slow, thinking vaguely. Also, huh? Are they already lovers?
Qiao Yu looked at Lin Qing with some confusion, and was met with an undeniable gaze from her. She blinked and suddenly realized.
…Lin Qing, this person, definitely only came up with this idea after accidentally seeing what happened in the parallel world.
Originally, she probably just hacked in as soon as she found her, without having any time to prepare.
As a result, her so-called method was incredibly rough. Lin Qing was basically relying on her momentum, planning to quickly muddle through this matter, and then forcibly set their relationship in stone.
This kind of hasty and flawed behavior was really unlike Lin Qing.
But for some reason, Qiao Yu couldn’t suppress her increasingly high spirits and quietly lifted the corners of her mouth.
What should she do?
She thought Lin Qing had mistaken dependence for love because she had never left her. So Qiao Yu ran away for a while, giving enough space for independent thinking. When they reunited, this person had become fragile and unstable. Even now, the head buried in her neck was rubbing slightly, as if Lin Qing thought she hadn’t noticed, eagerly clinging to her warmth.
Lin Qing was no longer the perfect Lin Qing. Maybe she hadn’t been for a long time. Qiao Yu had become her flaw, and Lin Qing willingly acknowledged and accepted it.
Alright, alright.
Finally able to accept all this calmly, Qiao Yu closed her eyes.
Maybe from the very beginning, it was just herself setting obstacles.
“…Qingqing.”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Qiao Yu’s voice was very low, but Lin Qing didn’t miss these two syllables, her body stiffening suddenly.
“Qingqing.”
As if afraid she hadn’t heard, Qiao Yu repeated it, this time much clearer, making some corner of Lin Qing’s heart tremble uncontrollably. The surging ecstasy overwhelmed her unease and fear, giving her a sour feeling.
She sniffled lightly, responded with an “Hmm,” and then asked.
“Do you like boys or girls?”
“Eh? You know, of course I like girls—”
“I mean… in the sense of children.”
“…Wait, wait, you’re not saying what I think you mean, Lin Qing! You’re thinking too far ahead, that’s something to think about after getting married!”
“Then let’s get married tomorrow.”
Lin Qing beamed, hugged Qiao Yu’s neck, leaned in to kiss her, then pretended to be dissatisfied and reminded her, “You got the name wrong!”
Seeing the embarrassment and shyness on Qiao Yu’s face, Lin Qing felt those obscure yet bright feelings of love filling her heart, completely overflowing.
It’s okay that Qiao Yu hasn’t gotten used to her new identity yet. Sooner or later, she would have more identities—besides Qiao Yu’s childhood friend, Qiao Yu’s colleague, she would also be Qiao Yu’s lover, Qiao Yu’s wife.
When it came to Qiao Yu, Lin Qing was always arrogant and greedy. She knew this couldn’t change, and she had no intention of changing it.
Qiao Yu should be hers.
But at the same time, she should be Qiao Yu’s.
From childhood friends to today, they finally handed over their complete selves to each other. They wasted a lot of time along the way and each got hurt a lot.
But it didn’t matter, they still had a very long life ahead of them.
And in the long future, they would never be separated again.
