29 : new what



















Su Ruiqi
We arrived safely



Shen Xiaoting
How is she?



Su Ruiqi
We're staying in different rooms but her's is just across mines
She said she'll do live later



Shen Xiaoting
Okay
Thanks for letting me know,



Su Ruiqi
Did you eat already?
Dinner?




Shen Xiaoting
I'm having it with the members



Su Ruiqi
Yurina and Mashiro home already?



Shen Xiaoting
I was immediately sent back by the driver earlier, he said they still have to quarantine
Don't want that situation with Y/n happen again



Su Ruiqi
Okay then, be safe



Shen Xiaoting
You too










"Here, thanks" Y/n handed Ruiqi her phone. She can't contact Xiaoting as herself right now because they made an agreement.

"Until our schedules are done?"







"Until your schedules are done. Just like what we did last time. Space" Xiaoting was unsure why Y/n wants space again but the older said that she wants Xiaoting to focus on her work first. "I'll support you from afar, you know that. But focus on your work first. You have to rest early then wake up early for makeup then rehearsals. It's hectic and there's no time for romance"







"You're not going to hang out with other girls, right?"







"I will hang out with them, as friends. I wanted to make new friends outside my group"








"What if I don't want you to?"







"Then that's very toxic of you, Shen Xiaoting" Xiaoting sighed.








"Fine, you can make friends. I'm just worried what if you catch feelings? You don't know how famous you are in China"







"Wait, am I? I don't know. But here's one thing, my ideal type is Shen Xiaoting and Shen Xiaoting only. I told you that already before"






"I know but your ultimate babies are there too, and they know you now"








"They are not Shen Xiaoting"







"But-"







"I only like Shen Xiaoting"







"I know-"







"I am engaged to Shen Xiaoting"






"Sto-"







"I love you, and only you. So shut up, we're here now" the van pulled off and when Y/n was about to hop off, Xiaoting grabbed her sleeves and pulled her in for a kiss. Just a peck. "Promise me you're not going to replace me"







"Only if you promise not to gatekeep me from everything"







"Deal"







"Promise"



--










































"I told you, you can keep my phone, I will borrow your laptop" Ruiqi hugged Y/n's backpack tightly. "But I want to watch the movies-"








"You can watch on your phone"







"I can't do anything else on my phone"







"Play games on mine, oh- can I download overwatch here? I hope the wifi isn't bad"







"I don't like playing games-"








"Then create TikTok videos"







"... I kinda like that idea but I'm not that good dancer. And I'm using that laptop to study"







"I study on my phone. You can do it, oh look. I'm here, see you the next 2 weeks" taking Y/n's bag with her, she went out to get her luggage then ran inside her quarantine house which is also her house. The both of them aren't going to stay at a hotel because they decided to home quarantine instead (this is what Ruiqi did after she return home).







"Bye!" When Ruiqi's mom and dad were about to wave at Y/n, their daughter already closed the doors.






"Let's go home, Mr. Win" Y/n's old driver fetched them from Guangzhou International Airport then drove them to Chengdu. The twins also waited for them at the airport and gave them gifts and flowers. They don't have any schedules at the moment, so they came. They also promised to go to Chengdu and hang out with the two.






"It's been a long time, isn't it?" The driver told his boss. "5 months, Mr. Win. I've been gone for 5 months"






"That was a long time already. It's a shame I can't protect you, girls, there. I also heard about Ms. Shen's accident. That driver was a spy"







"A spy?"







"Yes. I asked Mrs. Song to transfer me there to be your personal driver, but she said she fired that driver already and hired a reliable one. Always be careful, aye?"







"I'll carry a gun with me then-"







"You can't do that, but always carry pepper spray"







"Okay okay, I will..."







"We're here" Y/n realized her house was only minutes away from Ruiqi's. "Thank you!" Y/n held the two phones in her hand then walked inside the massive house owned by her family. Her father was away, doing his job. Her mom was at her office so no one was in the house today.







"Welcome home, miss" the handmaidens greeted. After walking around, she realized that some things changed. The placements of things and stuff. Her mom probably followed some feng shui tips.







"Welcome home" a much younger made welcomed her. It was a new maid and looks younger than her?








(New Character unlocked)








"Are you new here?"






"M-Me? Ah, yes, I am. I was appointed last month, miss" Y/n nodded her head then entered her room. Nothing changed except it was more organized. Who organized her things?






She heard the door open, and the same maid entered the room. "Uhm, Mrs. Song told me to arrange your things, so I did. I'm sorry for touching your things, Miss Yang"







'Glad she's honest' Y/n thought. "Are you my personal handmaiden or something, miss...?"







"Zhou. My name is Zhou Shiyu, miss. And, yes. Your mother appointed me as your maid"






















































Y/n's POV







The next day, I was surprised Su Ruiqi contacted me through weibo. I thought she forgot her password or something because her SIM card is with me. She needs it to open her account.

Su Ruiqi
No

Yang Y/n

"Mom!"







"Mrs. Song already left, miss" I was greeted by Shiyu instead. It's currently 6 in the morning, did my mom change shifts? "She usually goes to her office very early. And she said you're quarantining so she can't talk to you that much yet"






"What about you? Aren't you worried you might get covid from me? I think you know I just got that virus"






"Miss, I'm immune to that virus already" she chuckled.







"What do you mean?"







"Look, I live in Jiangsu. I travel back and forth to Beijing to study. I got covid in years 2020, 2021 and last January"







"What-"






"That's right, I'm used to it" I'm... quite shocked and amused at the same time. "Can I go out of my room?" I asked her but she shook her head. "Mrs. Song's orders, you're not allowed to go out of your room, but you can tell me what you want. Do you want some coffee, miss?"







"Oh, I don't drink coffee"







"Noted. Then what about milk?" I just nodded my head then entered my room. What should I do now? No laptop to watch movies. I can't sleep this early. I can't go live this early either.







Out of blue, I felt my phone vibrate. Wait, it was Ruiqi's phone.









Shen Xiaoting
Is she up now?



Su Ruiqi
Why are you asking me, girlie



Shen Xiaoting
Because you're with her?



Su Ruiqi
Told you she's staying in the other room



Shen Xiaoting
Then ask her if she's up already



Su Ruiqi
We can't go out of the room



Shen Xiaoting
Ask her through chat, you 바보



Su Ruiqi
Why don't YOU do it



Shen Xiaoting
I can't talk to her right now
We're on 🌌



Su Ruiqi
Lol what's that
Nevermind
She's up
What do you want



Shen Xiaoting
Nothing, just asking if she's still breathing



Su Ruiqi
Dark
You want my boss dead?



Shen Xiaoting
No
Just checking up on her
Bye



Su Ruiqi
Hey hey
I have to tell you something




Shen Xiaoting
What is it?
Someone messaging her?
Did you give her number to your friends?
What did you do?



Su Ruiqi
I gave her number to my friend in SNH but don't worry, same vibe, they're bros no romantic feelings and that member is already dating
LOL
Anyways
Her mom got her a 'personal maid'
A young one
🧍🏻‍♀️









"Here's your milk" without knocking, Shiyu entered the room. I got startled, she noticed it. "Oh, sorry. I'll knock next time" she apologized then placed the glass on a table and stood there in one corner. Why is she standing there?








Shen Xiaoting
A what?
She's 23 already
Why personal maid



Su Ruiqi
I know right
Ask her mom about it



Shen Xiaoting
I will later
Thanks for letting me know
Ttyl













I walked in her direction to take the milk. I grabbed the glass, and it was cold. I hate cold milk. I like it warm. Xiaoting would take some time boiling it for me if she's here.







"Thanks," I told Shiyu and she smiled at me.







"Tell me when mom gets home" I gave her the empty glass. She took it then left. I stepped out of my room then went to the room beside mine. It was my parent's room. I took their television and laptop then placed them all in my room. The television in my room is missing, my mom probably took it away. I also took the iPad there. Stealing is fun. But this isn't stealing, I'm just borrowing them. But stealing is fun.







I set up the things in my room then took a little break. I looked around then my eyes landed on my bedside table. I got two bedside tables, one in left then one in right.






On the right ones, my family pictures lie there. On the left side, a picture of me and Xiaoting is placed beside my alarm clock. The picture was taken when we visit Shanghai Disney Land.










(Have yall watched Couple of Mirrors already?)







Good times.







Times where we never fought so much. I thought that kind of relationship will last forever not until she went overseas, out of my supervision.







I'm hoping this kind of feeling will be gone. The feeling of being scared about what will happen in the future. What if things don't work out like they used to be. I love her... I hope she still loves me the same way as the first years of our relationship.






























































Xiaoting's POV







"Unnie, where's Y/n unnie?" Doah tapped my shoulders. I was sitting in the living room, watching this series with Bora and Youngeun. The other girls got back already except the two J-girls who are in quarantine.







"Oh, she flew back to China already"







"Ah... is that so, she never told me... thanks" she frowned then left. "Why is she going to tell you, you're not her girlfriend haha" I then heard Youngeun mumble.







"What did you say, Young?"







"Nothing, unnie... nothing to worry about"






Wow, these kids are scary. What if they're bad-mouthing me already behind my back.
