The Green Tea Supporting Girl Is Still Playing Her Role Today (GL) - Extra 2

Extra 2

On a sunny weekend, Wen Pinghan finally moved into Xie Zhifei’s home.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw flower petals scattered all over the floor at the entrance, laid out like a red carpet leading to the living room. The living room also held a huge, huge bouquet of vibrant roses—probably nine hundred and ninety-nine of them.

Wen Pinghan: “……”

“Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!” Xie Zhifei shook colorful streamers with both hands to celebrate her arrival.

“……I think I walked into the wrong place.” Wen Pinghan dragged her suitcase along and turned to leave.

Xie Zhifei hurriedly pulled her back and said with a beaming smile, “Too late. Everything has already been sorted out. We’re just waiting for you to move in!”

Wen Pinghan lowered her gaze and pointed at the petals on the floor as she asked, “Who did this?”

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it? It was Xiaojing’s suggestion. She said that something tacky to the extreme is trendy.” Xie Zhifei immediately shifted the blame.

“I think she just wanted to mess with us on purpose.” Wen Pinghan said with a laugh.

“Then should I clean it up?”

“Forget it. It’s already like this. Let’s tidy it up together tonight.”

“Okay.”

That evening, Wen Pinghan gathered the petals from the floor, but she found that no matter how she tried, she couldn’t seem to collect them all. When she turned around, she discovered that Xie Zhifei was actually plucking petals from that huge bouquet, with many of them tossed onto the carpet.

As soon as their eyes met, Xie Zhifei shrank back a little and gave an embarrassed smile. “I don’t know what happened. My mind was full of all these weird scenes, and my hands just moved on their own. I couldn’t control them.”

“What weird scenes?”

Xie Zhifei mysteriously beckoned her over.

Wen Pinghan walked up to her in confusion, only to be pressed down onto the carpet afterward.

“The carpet is brand new today.” Xie Zhifei said in a low voice. “Welcome to the new lady of the house.”

“……”

Wen Pinghan pinched her nose, forcing Xie Zhifei to open her mouth to breathe. At that moment, Wen Pinghan tilted her head up to meet her, capturing her tongue in an instant. Then, with a hand on her shoulder, she gave a gentle push and pinned the other woman beneath her.

In the living room strewn with roses, even their breaths carried the scent of roses.

Life after moving in together became even more inseparable, but it inevitably brought some friction in daily living.

For instance, although they lived together now, their work and commute times still did not align.

Aside from the time differences caused by business trips or meetings, Wen Pinghan took the initiative to avoid overlapping schedules most of the time. She firmly refused to commute with Xie Zhifei.

“We can’t let it slip.” Wen Pinghan said with utmost seriousness.

Whenever Xie Zhifei tried to resist or seized an opportunity to go with her, the other woman would block her with the words, “I promised your dad.”

After all, those were Xie Hongxu’s explicit instructions to Wen Pinghan from the start, and Wen Pinghan had kept them firmly in mind. She never overstepped at the company, behaving as a dutiful subordinate—at least on the surface.

Because she acted this way, Xie Zhifei could not help but tease her. She always loved to secretly flirt with her and watch her blush and fret without daring to make a fuss. It made Xie Zhifei feel especially delighted.

Wen Pinghan could not help but call her out for having a wicked sense of humor, but she—well, she really did.

Still, keeping it hidden like this all the time did not seem ideal, but what else could they do?

Of course, she would ask her dad for help!

“Dad, I think you can completely set aside your previous worries. Sis has independently completed several projects now, and everyone at the company praises her. No one would ever think she’s dating me to latch onto the boss or cozy up to a rich woman.” Xie Zhifei said.

“Is it her that I’m worried about?”

“……”

“You’re the one who needs to behave. I’ll retire soon. If you dare to stir up any trouble for me, I won’t let you two off the hook.”

“……”

“In the same company, you still need to keep your distance where it’s called for. I don’t want to hear any gossip while I’m still in office. If you can’t even muster this much restraint, how will you accomplish anything big later on? Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“……Got it.”

With the mission off to a bad start, Xie Zhifei hugged Wen Pinghan. “Boo-hoo-hoo.”

Wen Pinghan held back her laughter and patted her back. “Don’t cry anymore, or the act will overstay its welcome.”

“Hmph.”

Another example was their differing spending habits.

After moving in together, the things they bought jointly increased, and Xie Zhifei noticed that Wen Pinghan always subconsciously kept track of expenses. If Xie Zhifei paid for too many items, Wen Pinghan would seize the chance to cover the next one or make it up to her with a gift.

How did she discover this? It started during a seasonal shopping trip.

Zhao Xiaojing joined them that time for the outing. Zhao Xiaojing was famously generous. Even though she was now self-sufficient, she found it hard to change her spending habits and refused to shortchange herself.

Zhao Xiaojing charged straight into her favorite store, picked out a pile of clothes to try on slowly, and even selected a few outfits for Wen Pinghan along the way. “Come on, you try these too. As a woman, you need a few outfits that make a statement.”

Wen Pinghan got pushed into the fitting room. She had already figured out how to decline once she changed, but as she stepped out, she bumped into Xie Zhifei’s amazed gaze.

“How about it? My eye for clothes isn’t bad, right?” Zhao Xiaojing bumped Xie Zhifei’s shoulder proudly.

“Too good.” Xie Zhifei’s eyes sparkled. She walked up to Wen Pinghan and kept appraising her, her mouth full of words of admiration.

Wen Pinghan, who had originally planned to say the clothes did not look good, suddenly went quiet.

Xie Zhifei immediately went off happily to pay for them.

Wen Pinghan carried the bag and glanced at it now and then. Then she circled the store and picked out an outfit for Xie Zhifei. “Why don’t you try this one?”

“You like this style?” Xie Zhifei asked, lifting the strap of the deep V-neck dress.

“Yes, you have a great figure.”

“Hee-hee.” Xie Zhifei turned and headed to try it on. The effect was indeed stunning. Wen Pinghan truly could not tear her eyes away, and then she quickly went to pay.

“It’s a gift for you. A Beginning of Summer present.”

“Ah? There’s even a gift for Beginning of Summer?” Xie Zhifei said in delight.

“Yes.”

“Thank you, sis. Love you, mwah~~”

Zhao Xiaojing: “Eww!”

After shopping, the three of them went to eat. Xie Zhifei and Zhao Xiaojing were chatting animatedly when Xie Zhifei suddenly realized that Wen Pinghan had barely spoken. She turned her head and saw her engrossed in her phone under the table, checking the bill. Her brows were furrowed tight, clearly starting to worry about that not-insignificant expense from earlier.

Oh no, Xie Zhifei thought to herself in dismay.

Then, recalling those previous details, she realized her own oversight.

That evening at home, she changed into the dress Wen Pinghan had given her and teased her on the bed until Wen Pinghan’s soul nearly floated away.

Once her three souls and seven spirits slowly returned, she propped up her head, still panting, and asked, “Sis, will we have kids?”

Wen Pinghan looked at her belly in surprise. “You don’t mean you’re…”

“Of course not!” Xie Zhifei laughed. “I mean, could the two of us possibly have kids?”

“Adopt?”

“What if we don’t adopt?”

“Then it’s definitely impossible!”

“Yes, so do we have any retirement pressures?”

“No, right? Your dad earns more than both of us combined. Do we really need to worry about that?”

“So look, we don’t have to worry about elders above or children below. For this lifetime, doesn’t that mean we just need to take good care of ourselves and each other?” Xie Zhifei counted on her fingers as she analyzed it for her.

“Yes.”

“For these few short decades, I’ll spend them all with you. What about you?”

“Of course I will too.” Wen Pinghan blinked. “What are you trying to say?”

“I want to say that since we’ve both committed to each other and there are no other pressures, then what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine.” Xie Zhifei said.

Wen Pinghan understood her unspoken meaning. She blinked rapidly a few times, her expression a bit downcast. “But our gap is too big…”

“Is the gap that big? We’ve already gone negative distance!” Xie Zhifei wiggled her fingers.

Wen Pinghan: “……”

“My money is your money. If I don’t spend it on you, who else would I spend it on? Once we’re dead, it’s just a pile of worthless paper. And since we won’t even have kids or grandkids, no one will burn paper for us later, right?”

“……” The words were rough, but the reasoning was sound.

“So, while we’re still alive, we should live happily and carefree. You absolutely must not feel any burden. Put another way, if our positions were switched, would you be willing to spend money on me?”

Wen Pinghan nodded without hesitation.

“I’m willing too, silly.”

Wen Pinghan admitted she could be a bit stubborn. After this gentle guidance from Xie Zhifei, she actually felt much more at ease. Of course, it would be even better if the other woman did not squirm around so much.

As she lifted her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the half-exposed spring scene beneath the dress. This woman truly knew exactly how to steal her soul.
