Female Hobbies?:

Her face erupted in a flush, and her own hands moved to encircle Lu Xiaobei's waist, while she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Xiaoya stopped her mother from offering by saying, "I'm going with a schoolmate, and she'll be driving us there. We won't need to pay to travel. We're also going to Lin'an, because her family has a small villa in the suburbs. So I don' need to bring a lot of money, okay?"

It took a postcard about three to four days to be sent from city to city, while it took seven to fourteen days for delivery to remote areas.

When Xiaoya wrote that card last time, all she wanted to do was vent, but she never thought she would actually get a response in return. She even received a rare maxi-cardT/n: A maximum card is a special postcard that has a matching theme of background images and stamp. with a stamp. The sender only wrote on line at the bottom of the postcard, reading: After you go out to see the world and go through the countless experiences of life, I wish you will always retain a pure youthful heart.

But, recently, a group of students who wanted to be some "goody two shoes", went there to sort the mail out and would issue notices via the school's official account for the students to come collect them from special mail room the assigned. It sounds like a good thing, right? But that special mail room is located on the first floor of the boy's dormitory!

Hi, I just got your postcard, and I never thought you'd take the time to find my address specifically so I was really moved.

Xiaoya had four roommates, but only Xiaoya was from Nancheng. So Xiaoya had invited those new friends of hers to eat at her house one time, and her mother had already scanned them al and saw that non of them were "bent."

_{"Since you're going to be taking someone else's car and staying at someone else's house, you should mind you manners, alright?" From her perspective, Xiaoya's mother thought her daughter would be going there with a few friends, so without questioning it she tried to lecture her daughter on how to be a good guest. "When you guys eat out or need to by tickets, remember to take the initiative to pick up the check or pay the bill, alright? In both friendships and dating, it's important to know how to give.}Another thing which happened was Mo Yichen and Xiang Yi reconciling, or possibly that they never had a confrontation to begin with. Xiaoya never found out if Xiang Yi was really cheating. Mo Yichen never brought up the topic of her own volition, and so Xiaoya also never asked.

"When you guys eat out or need to by tickets, remember to take the initiative to pick up the check or pay the bill, alright? In both friendships and dating, it's important to know how to give. It's a blessing to suffer those kind of financial losses."

Do you want to be a long term postcard pal? I've been using the postcard service for a year now, and I'm long term postcard pal's with someone from England, someone from Russia, who're both girls and are very cute. One of them really liked my stamps, while the other loves collecting coins from other countries. Last time, I stuffed a bunch of Chinese coins into an envelope and sent it to her and she received it safely and we were all very happy. But I don't have any long term pals from inside China as yet.

Xiaoya snatched the card from Lu Xiaobei's hand then responded, "Hey, don't peek at my private stuff, okay? My postcard pal said she really likes reading the cards I send her, so all the words here are especially genuine."

Xiaoya: "..." Why this mess have so many winding roads?

Lu Xiaobei then kissed her nose, and lightly skimmed its way down until they arrived at Xiaoya's cherry red lips. Moving a hand to cradle Xiaoya's head, she closed her eyes and all Xiaoya could see was the inclined view of her beautiful face.

I sent you a photo via the app before, and I think you liked it. I hope you don't mind my nagging, lol. Anyhow, like I said last time, a friend of mine is a lesbian, and I'm also one too. I don't get why the rules get made up by the majority, like, why can't we walk freely under the sunshine too?

Female Hobbies?:

If XY (Xiang Yi) and MYC (Mo Yichen) could shoo off their love, and XY had to changed her profile pictures to a couple photo and sprinkle some sappy lovey-dovey stuff in the posts she shares with her friend circles, then something like this would've never happened. If this girl couldn't lie to herself by saying "because I'm a girl, she couldn't introduce me to her friends" then XY's lies could've been exposed sooner.

N/A

Anyway, this postcard is too mall for me to write down everything, but if there's a chance, I hope we can continue our chat next time. Bless.

——Xiaoyu is looking forward to your reply.

To her mother, Xiaoya told her about the trip she would take after she finished the final exams for her first year.

They were probably the type of person someone could open their heart to and bare their soul.

——to Xiaoyu

iana: the XY x MYC stuff is honestly depressing, but at least this chapter ended on a high note.

Xiaoya's mother walked by behind her and said, "And that's why the make you guys send in your evaluations first."

Hi. I got a card from you yesterday and it made me really happy. But the process of me collecting the card this time was a real pain in the butt. Normally, the mail for students a our school would was left at the security booth and they would put them all in a huge bin and let the students go there to find their letters themselves. But because of people going there late to pick up their mail or not collecting them at all, the bin was full of letters, though you could still find your mail if you took the time.

Then, just as the winter holidays began, Xiaoya and Lu Xiaobei hit the road.

******

The two were pressed together closely, and Lu Xiaobei's voice had a sultry tone. So despite their being a small difference in their heights, Xiaoya felt as though all of her was surrounded by Lu Xiaobei.

iana: the XY x MYC stuff is honestly depressing, but at least this chapter ended on a high note.

But after snaking her arms around Xiaoya's waist, Lu Xiaobei then questioned, "Then how can we communicate with one another, hm?"

******

So Xiaoya kept sending postcards to "Female Hobbies'?" address, while that person always sent her back cards from many different places, with Xiaoya not knowing if it was because they were on business trips of just on vacation.

The sender's penmanship was delicate and graceful, looking as though it should belong to to a girl. It is said that seeing one's handwriting is like seeing the person themselves, and Xiaoya thought that based on this person's postcard pal's writing, they must be a very kind person.

Best wishes.

To her mother, Xiaoya told her about the trip she would take after she finished the final exams for her first year.

In the past six months, a lot of things had happened. For instance, Xiaoya had completely adapted to her college life. She got along with her roommates, and every week there was a gathering at the dorm where they ate, watched movies, and sung karaoke. Even Lu Xiaobei was a tad bit huffy about this development, because it meant every time she wanted to go on a date with Xiaoya, she would have to arrange the date beforehand. It made it her even think of having them live together ahead of schedule.

So, Lu Xiaobei didn't want Xiaoya poking around in Xiang Yi and Mo Yichen's business. Not only because it was Xiang Yi and Mo Yichen's own private matters, but also because she was worried Xiaoya would end up having animosity between her small number of close friends.

They were probably the type of person someone could open their heart to and bare their soul.

All along the way, Xiaoya sent out postcards to her friend, documenting her journey and her time with her lover.

_{If XY (Xiang Yi) and MYC (Mo Yichen) could shoo off their love, and XY had to changed her profile pictures to a couple photo and sprinkle some sappy lovey-dovey stuff in the posts she shares with her friend circles, then something like this would've never happened.

So Xiaoya kept sending postcards to "Female Hobbies'?" address, while that person always sent her back cards from many different places, with Xiaoya not knowing if it was because they were on business trips of just on vacation.

There were special commemorative stamps and postcards sent from the location they were made in, etc.

Xiaoya: "But how can she just forgive Xiang Yi like that? Did she even kick up a fuss? Xiang Yi probably doesn't know Yichen knows what she did. It's too unfair."

All along the way, Xiaoya sent out postcards to her friend, documenting her journey and her time with her lover.

Her mother thought she would be going on a girl's trip with her new friends, so she gave her support saying, "Alright then, young people should go out and see the world. So where are you guys planning to go? Do you have enough money to pay for it?"

And despite "Female Hobbies?" not being a wordy as Xiaoya in every card she wrote, Xiaoya could still feel her kind intentions from the cards she sent.

But after snaking her arms around Xiaoya's waist, Lu Xiaobei then questioned, "Then how can we communicate with one another, hm?"

Xiaoya's mother walked by behind her and said, "And that's why the make you guys send in your evaluations first."

It took a postcard about three to four days to be sent from city to city, while it took seven to fourteen days for delivery to remote areas.

Female Hobbies?:

Xiaoya's mother thought she had already cut ties with Lu Xiaobei and that she had even gotten a boyfriend back at her new high school. So for a long time now, she was under the impression her daughter had long "changed". So after Xiaoya had gotten into university, she was no longer as strict as she was during those high school days, and went as far as encouraging her daughter to hang out with friends.

But Lu Xiaobei countered her bluntly: "Those words of yours don't really mean anything. Because when you're angry, the entire page will covey your negative feelings; and when you're happy, the entire page will be brimming with love."

And despite "Female Hobbies?" not being a wordy as Xiaoya in every card she wrote, Xiaoya could still feel her kind intentions from the cards she sent.

Sometimes I think about that if there comes a day where my girlfriend and I break up, that apart from you and those two girls I me at winter camp, nobody would even know we were even in love and that we were heartbroken. I think that something like this is really sad. No one would even know about how much we had loved each other.

So during that time they had simply sent postcards to one another, telling each of their respective day-to-day lives.

They were probably the type of person someone could open their heart to and bare their soul.

——to Xiaoyu

******

And without knowing realising it, half a year a had passed, and the cards Xiaoya received got thicker and thicker.

She didn't know if she should push her way, or if she should further embrace her, but there was one thing she knew for certain and it was her entire body was rendered weak.

She had asked Lu Xiaobei about it, and she broke it down for her saying, "If Mo Yichen was the one who wronged Xiang Yi, odds are, she would tell you. But her not saying anything means it was most likely true. So make sure to not ask her about it either."

Lin'an was beautiful. The lakes were crystal clear and the snow had yet to melt off the bridges.

Another thing which happened was Mo Yichen and Xiang Yi reconciling, or possibly that they never had a confrontation to begin with. Xiaoya never found out if Xiang Yi was really cheating. Mo Yichen never brought up the topic of her own volition, and so Xiaoya also never asked.

Her face erupted in a flush, and her own hands moved to encircle Lu Xiaobei's waist, while she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Xiaoya felt as though her heart would cease beating, and every inch of her from head to toe felt tingly and numb.

It took a postcard about three to four days to be sent from city to city, while it took seven to fourteen days for delivery to remote areas.

All along the way, Xiaoya sent out postcards to her friend, documenting her journey and her time with her lover.

Long Term Relationship

Xiaoya: "..." Why this mess have so many winding roads?

Xiaoya: "..."

Xiaoya: "But how can she just forgive Xiang Yi like that? Did she even kick up a fuss? Xiang Yi probably doesn't know Yichen knows what she did. It's too unfair."

To her mother, Xiaoya told her about the trip she would take after she finished the final exams for her first year.

——Xiaoyu is looking forward to your reply.

——to Xiaoyu

Lu Xiaobei shook her head and said in return, "Don't just think of Xiang Yi as someone who doesn't care about anything, because in truth, she has a softer heart than most. So if Mo Yichen doesn't want to say anything, it might be because she doesn;t want Xiang Yi to feel guilty."

Long Term Relationship

You've visited a lot of places, yeah? Well, this winter vacation, I planned on going on a trip with my girlfriend for a few days before the Lunar New Year. We still haven't decided where exactly we'll be going, so if you have any recommendations, let me know, okay? XOXO~

Female Hobbies?:

Xiaoya: "..." Why this mess have so many winding roads?

How can she even think her mother would have a gaydarT/n: it was literally les-dar (lesbian-radar) here but that sounds dumb. It's a word-ish. But it sounds dumb..

Lu Xiaobei: "The path they're both taking is not going to be easy, and Mo Yichen will also be spending the New Year's at Xiang Yi's house. She's spending more time at Xiang Yi's house, not just with Xiang Yi but also with Xiang Yi's mother. She spends more time there than she does at her own home. Love is is not the only thing being used to maintain this relationship of theirs."

They were probably the type of person someone could open their heart to and bare their soul.

——to Xiaoyu

The meaning behind Lu Xiaobei's words was very simple. Mo Yichen was now an adult. She was not being kept in the dark and this decision she made was done with her eyes wide open. And even if Mo Yichen was completely blinded by love, who hasn't had a period were they fell for a scumbag during their youth and took a huge fall in return?

Anyhow, I saw you were in Qingdao City not too long ago. How were the beaches there? Did you have fun?

Xiaoya's mother walked by behind her and said, "And that's why the make you guys send in your evaluations first."

Her face erupted in a flush, and her own hands moved to encircle Lu Xiaobei's waist, while she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Like this, Lu Xiaobei pressed a kiss on her forehead gently, then after her lips parted she again questioned the girl in her arms. "C'mon, tell me?" Her breath was warm, and it's heat still lingered on Xiaoya's skin.

So in the letter to her new postcard friend, Xiaoya said this:

Anyway, this postcard is too mall for me to write down everything, but if there's a chance, I hope we can continue our chat next time. Bless.

Xiaoya: "But how can she just forgive Xiang Yi like that? Did she even kick up a fuss? Xiang Yi probably doesn't know Yichen knows what she did. It's too unfair."

And despite her not saying all this outright, Xiaoya still understood her intentions.

Haa... I don't want to be super pushy, either.

So in the letter to her new postcard friend, Xiaoya said this:

Xiaoya: "..."

"Yes! I passed all my classes!" Xiaoya then said to her mother, "Mom, I want to go on a trip with some friends during the winter holidays. I promise to be back for New Year's."

So during that time they had simply sent postcards to one another, telling each of their respective day-to-day lives.

So in the letter to her new postcard friend, Xiaoya said this:

Long Term Relationship

Hi, I just got your postcard, and I never thought you'd take the time to find my address specifically so I was really moved.

Xiaoya felt as though her heart would cease beating, and every inch of her from head to toe felt tingly and numb.

The boys dorm has a security door there that you need to use a card to get past every single time. So every time I go there to get my postcards it gets more awkward with each visit.

In Lin'an, Xiaoya and Lu Xiaobei then watched the fireworks while sitting by the lake.

"Hey, we can't communicate spiritually," Xiaoya huffed.

Anyhow, recently, I went to eat out with the girls I had met at winter camp and everyone seemed happy and peachy, but for some reason I got the feeling something was off. I think something happened to them that I don't know about, and it looks like even my girlfriend knows about it, but she doesn't seem to want to say anything about it.

And in that old house left behind by Lu Xiaobei's grandmother, those two girls had their taste of the ultimate happiness, and ignited the fireworks in their hearts.

Haa... I don't want to be super pushy, either.

******

One time, Lu Xiaobei read one of the postcards she wrote and asked, "Are you seriously showing off your lovey-dovey couple life to strangers like this?"

So during that time they had simply sent postcards to one another, telling each of their respective day-to-day lives.

There were special commemorative stamps and postcards sent from the location they were made in, etc.

While checking her grades, Xiaoya grumbled about her school's rules. "Why do I have to submit a review of the teacher before I can see my grades? What if I give the teacher a positive review and she gives me a bad grade, what will I do?"

Xiaoya's mother walked by behind her and said, "And that's why the make you guys send in your evaluations first."

If Xiaoya knew what was going on in her mother's head, without a doubt, she would be made speechless.
