Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 43 - Could This Be... Our First Kiss?
Chapter 43: Could This Be… Our First Kiss?
So that’s what it was.
The extra half-hour that Shu Mengyao spent watching wasn’t for TV.
She was learning how to peel a peach for him.
Lin Yang picked up the peeled peach from the bowl.
Under Shu Mengyao’s watchful gaze, he took a bite.
It was juicy and tender.
“So sweet.”
“Sweeter than any peach I’ve ever had before.”
He smiled as he spoke.
Hearing this, Shu Mengyao finally felt relieved.
A smile spread across her face.
Her eyes curved into crescent moons.
Watching him, she couldn’t help but crave a bite herself.
She loved peaches—sweet and soft.
“Do you want a taste?”
“It’s really, really sweet.”
Lin Yang had only taken a few bites.
But he noticed Shu Mengyao staring intensely at the peach.
She looked completely entranced.
He held out the remaining half to her, bringing it close to her lips.
Shu Mengyao parted her lips slightly, ready to take a bite.
But just as she was about to—
Lin Yang pulled his hand back.
She bit into nothing.
“Lin Yang, you’re so mean!”
Shu Mengyao pouted in disappointment.
“Alright, here you go.”
Lin Yang chuckled indulgently.
Once again, he held the peach near her lips.
But once again, she bit into thin air.
Shu Mengyao was on the verge of tears.
It was just one bite!
She wanted to eat so badly.
“The peach that Yaoyao peeled for me is really the sweetest, most delicious one ever.”
Lin Yang found Shu Mengyao’s frustrated expression absolutely adorable.
He couldn’t resist teasing her a little more.
So he took another bite himself and sighed in satisfaction.
Was it really that sweet?
Shu Mengyao suddenly regretted everything.
She should have taken a bite before giving it to him!
Her gaze shifted from the peach to Lin Yang’s lips.
He was eating the peach.
Wouldn’t the peach’s flavor still linger on his lips?
For some reason, her mind was filled with that thought.
She wanted to test it out.
So—
Shu Mengyao tiptoed.
And lightly pecked Lin Yang on the lips.
Chu.
So sweet!
It really did taste like peach.
Soft.
And a little warm.
“I got a taste!”
Shu Mengyao’s beautiful eyes sparkled with pride.
Like she was showing off her cleverness.
But Lin Yang was completely caught off guard.
“Yaoyao, you’re quite bold, huh?”
Lin Yang touched his lips.
The warmth still lingered.
It all happened so fast.
Shu Mengyao had been lost in the joy of tasting the peach.
But when she heard Lin Yang’s words—
She suddenly realized what she had done.
This was their first conscious kiss!
And it ended just like that.
What was she thinking?!
How could she be so impulsive?
Shu Mengyao was drowning in regret.
Her mind was racing for a way to fix this.
“Lin Yang…”
“My mom once told me that girls shouldn’t be too forward. Otherwise, guys will think we’re too easy and won’t cherish us.”
Her watery eyes shimmered with unease.
Her long lashes trembled, making her look fragile and pitiful.
Lin Yang was about to speak.
But before he could—
He felt a soft, sweet sensation again.
Shu Mengyao kissed him once more.
If the first kiss was just a fleeting touch—
Then this one was filled with deep emotion.
“My mom was right.”
“But I don’t want to listen to her.”
A long while passed.
After the kiss ended, Shu Mengyao finally finished her sentence.
Lin Yang’s smile deepened.
Who would’ve thought—
The famously aloof campus beauty could do something like this?
Was this… a confession?
Lin Yang was about to comment on how much she had changed.
But in the next second—
Shu Mengyao dived onto the bed and buried her face in the pillow.
Oh my god.
What was she doing?!
It felt like everything was just spiraling out of control!
She only wanted to make up for her mistake—
But somehow, she ended up kissing him again!
Would Lin Yang think she had bad intentions?
She wasn’t some kind of pervert!!
She used to only dare to imagine these things in her head.
But in a moment of nervousness—
She actually acted on her thoughts.
Shu Mengyao hid under the pillow, tangled in her own emotions.
This was the most impulsive thing she had ever done.
Her heart was pounding wildly—
Like it was about to leap out of her chest.
Was she sick?
Did she have sinus tachycardia?!
“Yaoyao, how long are you planning to hide?”
Lin Yang sighed with amusement.
Wasn’t she the one who kissed him first?
She had been so bold just moments ago.
But it seemed all her courage had only lasted for that instant.
Now she was back to hiding like a little ostrich.
“Lin Yang…”
“Do you think…”
“Do you think I’m a pervert?”
Shu Mengyao slowly lifted her head.
Tears glistened at the corners of her eyes.
She had clearly cried a little.
She didn’t want Lin Yang to see her in such a weird light.
She wanted to be stronger.
To stand by his side—
Not be a burden to him.
And definitely not some desperate girl!
“Of course not.”
“You kissed me—I’m more than happy about it.”
Seeing her pitiful expression, Lin Yang felt an overwhelming urge to protect her.
He pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.
Then, he fondly ruffled her hair.
“Really?”
Shu Mengyao sniffled softly.
Her watery eyes held disbelief.
“Of course.”
“No matter what, you’ll always be my wife.”
“The one I cherish the most.”
Lin Yang’s voice was deep and steady, filled with warmth and security.
It was like magic.
In that moment, all of Shu Mengyao’s worries and doubts melted away.
Lin Yang gently wiped away her tears.
A smile returned to her face.
Just like that, another week passed.
Only ten days remained until the babies’ full-month celebration.
After being nagged by his mother for the hundredth time—
Lin Yang finally decided to make arrangements.
It was a warm and sunny summer afternoon.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Lin Yang and Shu Mengyao each pushed a baby stroller as they walked down the road.
“Lin Yang, do I really have to go too?”
Shu Mengyao’s voice trembled slightly.
Even her steps weren’t as light.
Today, they were going to book a venue for the babies’ full-month banquet.
After confirming the location, they would do a food tasting.
Once everything was set, they could send out invitations.
Shu Mengyao had always been reluctant about this banquet.
Even back in school—
Despite being the campus beauty, she never attended any events.
Her best friend, Huanhuan, was always the one signing her up for things.
She had never cared about any of it.
She didn’t even realize she had been voted the top beauty for four consecutive years.
Going out.
Facing so many people.
It was a huge challenge for her.
“Of course, Yaoyao.”
“The babies’ full-month banquet is really important, and everyone is waiting for it.”
“You don’t want our babies to miss out on something that other babies have, do you?”
Lin Yang patiently reassured her.

“If other babies have it, then our babies must have it too!”
Shu Mengyao nodded firmly.
