Chapter 331: Willingly Defying Conventions
While Adele and Tang Linlang were lost in their mutual affection, First Snow and Xiao Ai exchanged a knowing glance.
“Looks like we’re home alone tonight, meow,” First Snow said.
“…” Xiao Ai looked a little disappointed. But she knew that once Mama made a decision, she wouldn’t change it. Moreover, she didn’t want to make things difficult for Adele. So after sighing, she lifted her cute little face and looked at First Snow, “Then I want to play yesterday’s game!”
“Okay!”
Adele silently watched the two little ones reach an agreement and smiled slightly. Having First Snow at home to take care of Xiao Ai made Adele feel much more at ease when she had to leave the dorm.
“Wait for me a moment~,” Adele suddenly said.
Tang Linlang nodded shyly. Then she saw Adele run upstairs. Not long after, she came back down, dressed in an elegant and intellectual academy-style outfit. Tang Linlang gazed at the girl, feeling a sense of beauty and happiness.
Adele came to Tang Linlang’s side, linked arms with her, and then looked back at First Snow and Xiao Ai, who were still nestled on the sofa.
“Then Linlang and I are going out.”
“Be good at home. If you’re hungry at night, there’s food in the refrigerator, or you can order takeout with my tablet.” Adele carefully instructed the two on what to do at home. Unknowingly, she had also become a nagging older sister. It was because she was no longer alone, she had become warm and happy, but also shouldered more responsibilities.
“Bye-bye~”
“Bye-bye, meow!”
“…Goodbye, Mama.”
The moment the door closed, Tang Linlang’s heart skipped a beat. She hugged Adele from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder.
Adele’s lips curled slightly.
“Silly, we’re still at school~.”
“Have you forgotten the school rule against impure heterosexual and homosexual relationships?” the girl joked, pretending to be serious.
If it were the Tang Linlang from before, she would probably have been scared by the girl’s words and quickly withdrawn her hands. But now, she just giggled.
“I wonder who was the first one to engage in an impure relationship…”
“Oh, you’ve learned to talk back, haven’t you!?”
“I have to teach you a lesson!”
“But not here. Come on, let’s leave the school. Are we going straight to your house, or do you have other plans?” Adele turned around and took Tang Linlang’s hand.
The two walked hand in hand along the path lined with lawns and flowerbeds, heading out of the campus. Tang Linlang thought for a moment. She didn’t have any special requests for a date, as long as she could be with Adele. But she heard that there was a horror escape room experience center in the nearby mall. It seemed quite interesting, suitable for couples.
Thinking of this, Tang Linlang tentatively suggested the idea of going to the escape room. Adele immediately froze. Oh no!
She was most afraid of scary things! Adele still remembered the childhood trauma caused by zombie movies. She didn’t even dare to show her face while sleeping at night, even if the blanket made her hot and suffocated, for fear that when she opened her eyes, she would see something terrifying that would make her scream.
Tang Linlang was a considerate girl. Seeing this, she quickly waved her hand and said, “Then let’s not go, we won’t go.”
With Adele’s usual timid nature, she should have taken the opportunity to back down. But hearing Tang Linlang taking her feelings into consideration, the girl felt a little guilty. Thinking back to her interactions with Linlang, Linlang was always the one making sacrifices. As Adele’s classmate, she had more opportunities to be with Adele. But in terms of relationship progress, she was always the slowest. For example, before, other vampire girls had already developed deep relationships with Adele, but Tang Linlang was still at the stage where holding hands could make her blush and shy. And she didn’t have a strong competitive desire, instead constantly indulging and waiting.
Thinking of this, Adele realized that in this relationship, she couldn’t always be the one being cared for and pampered. Occasionally…she should also consider others! Because true love was always a two-way street. One-sided love could only create a distorted relationship!
So, the girl gritted her teeth.
“Th-Then that esc…esc…” Adele stuttered in fear. And Tang Linlang helpfully added, “Escape room.”
“Yes! Escape room, I’ll go with you!” Adele bit her tongue, using the pain to mask her fear, and blurted it out.
Although Tang Linlang was happy in her heart, the gentle girl still blinked and asked, “Aren’t you always afraid of scary things, Adele? Are you…sure?”
“No problem! Hmph, who do you think I am?”
“Besides, it’s all fake!”
“Ghosts, zombies, vampires, please, I’m a vampire, vampires are the prototypes of vampire legends!”
“If I go to an escape room, they should be the ones afraid of me!” Adele’s clever words even convinced herself, instantly boosting her confidence.
Hearing Adele’s words, Tang Linlang giggled. She held the girl’s hand tightly.
“Then let’s go now~”.
“After the escape room, we’ll go back to my house.”
“I’ll cook for you personally, wearing that new apron…” When the girl mentioned the apron, a hint of charm flashed in her eyes.
Adele couldn’t help but gulp. She seemed to realize something and licked her lips before replying ambiguously and expectantly, “Okay.”
After receiving a positive response, Tang Linlang immediately took out her phone and called her driver to pick them up.
“Wow, Linlang has become a young lady with a dedicated driver!” the girl exclaimed. Although Adele knew that after Linlang’s family sold their ancestral land and received the demolition compensation, they became extremely wealthy new money, new nobles, for a long time, Adele’s impression of her was still that of a simple girl living in an old mansion, a quiet and studious student in class. It was indeed different from a young lady with a dedicated driver.
However, this was a symbol of Tang Linlang’s rise in social status. Adele was only happy for her. Tang Linlang lowered her head shyly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
“I’m not a young lady…”
“I’m…Adele’s…little woman.” The girl’s voice was soft, but it tickled Adele’s heart like a feather. Who would have thought that this clueless girl would learn how to say such sweet nothings!
“I can’t take it anymore!” Adele suddenly exclaimed, her breathing rapid. Then Tang Linlang felt the world spin. When she came to her senses, she was already on the clean lawn beside the sidewalk, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, with Adele straddling her, having pushed her down. She gazed at her affectionately and slowly leaned in for a kiss.
Even though this was the school, a place where impure same-sex relationships were forbidden, Adele still chose to act on impulse. And Tang Linlang, faced with this sudden surprise, didn’t resist at all, but rather enjoyed it wholeheartedly. She was indeed an obedient and good student, but for Adele, she willingly defied conventions.

Chapter 332: The Power of Money
Fortunately, the school was deserted during the holidays. So no one noticed the two girls’ romantic kiss on the lawn. Adele was always like this, acting on impulse, but also giving people great surprises, the kind of romantic and touching moments that would bring a smile to their faces even years later.
Tang Linlang closed her eyes, feeling as if time had slowed down, so slow that she could hear the grass growing and the flowers blooming. The gentle breeze carried the fresh scent of grass and the fragrance of flowers. And, of course, the girl’s sweetness, like candy she could never tire of.
After a long time, Adele finally parted from the girl’s lips, panting slightly, a hint of glistening moisture between them. Tang Linlang’s skirt was disheveled and slightly lifted. Adele wanted to fix it for her, but Linlang blushed and gently placed her finger on the back of Adele’s hand.
“This kind of thing…let’s do it back at my house, okay?”
“…” Adele should have explained that she just wanted to fix her skirt and had no such intentions. But somehow, she remained silent, as if admitting that she was a lewd and greedy girl. Perhaps because she knew that if Tang Linlang liked her, she would like many aspects of her. And she did have moments when her mind was full of lewd thoughts. Wasn’t Linlang’s response also acceptance? So there was no need to explain.
So the next moment, she nodded slightly. “Okay.”
Then Adele stood up first and extended her hand, pulling Tang Linlang up from the lawn. There were grass, seeds, and dust on Linlang’s clothes. Adele meticulously brushed them off. Using magic might have been easier, but Adele liked this kind of intimate contact in daily life. There was no need to save time. Time itself wasn’t important, the inner experience, and who and what you spent it on were more important. Focusing too much on time would be putting the cart before the horse.
After Tang Linlang was neat and tidy again, the two girls walked out of the school as planned.
At the school gate, a luxury car that Adele couldn’t name was parked in a prominent position. Seeing Tang Linlang, the driver immediately got out of the car respectfully and opened the door for the young lady. Tang Linlang thanked him. Adele, arm in arm with her, teased, “So stylish, my lady~”.
Tang Linlang blushed and could only murmur, “You’re always bullying me, Adele…”
“What do you mean bullying? Why wouldn’t I bully you~?” Adele said confidently.
The two sat in the back seat of the car, and Tang Linlang carefully smoothed the wrinkles on Adele’s skirt. But Adele wouldn’t let her off the hook, giggling and grabbing her wrist, guiding the shy girl’s hand to her leg where the driver couldn’t see.
Adele was wearing warm, white stockings, not the fishnet kind, but the opaque kind, lined with fleece but still with the smooth texture of silk stockings. They felt incredibly soft to the touch. Adele herself didn’t feel anything, but Tang Linlang’s breathing quickened. The girl leaned against the car window, squinting at Tang Linlang’s blushing face. It was undeniably amusing.
Tang Linlang knew that Adele was making fun of her, but she couldn’t resist the intimate contact with Adele and the soft, wonderful touch of her fingertips. So even after Adele let go of her hand, her hand seemed to have a mind of its own, slowly moving. Tang Linlang’s reason had lost to her instincts.
Adele didn’t mind if Linlang was a little greedier, taking advantage of the car ride to explore further…
The journey to the mall wasn’t long, so Adele pretended to doze off, practically saying, I’m not pretending anymore, I’m giving you a chance. But Linlang seemed a little timid. She didn’t dare to do anything more daring. She was truly different from Adele in personality. One could imagine that if it were Adele, and there was a little vixen seducing her, she wouldn’t stop until she had her way with the vixen!
But this was also one of Tang Linlang’s cute points. Adele enjoyed the girl’s caresses and didn’t rush or push her. Innocence is a consumable. Adele didn’t want Tang Linlang’s innocence to be gradually replaced by greedy desires.
The car stopped smoothly, almost without any bumps. This was the performance of a luxury car. If Adele wanted one to play with, whether it was Tang Linlang, Celeste, or Hermione, they would all unhesitatingly fulfill her wish. But Adele was too lazy to drive. It was more comfortable to sit in the passenger seat next to the girls.
Tang Linlang and Adele got out of the car from their respective doors. Tang Linlang went to the driver’s seat and instructed him on something before walking to Adele’s side with small, elegant steps. The two beautiful girls walking together easily became the center of attention. Some even suspected that Adele might be a debuting actress. Tang Linlang had more of a student aura, so in the minds of passersby, she became a student being kept by Adele!
But the reality was the opposite! Heaven knew why Adele could confidently wrap her arm around Linlang’s waist, exuding the aura of a wealthy woman.
“Is that the escape room you mentioned?” Adele looked up and pointed at the huge screen in the mall’s central atrium. It was playing an advertisement for the escape room experience center. They really spared no expense. The advertisement showed that the escape rooms were categorized into horror, puzzle, role-playing, etc.
Adele was already prepared to play the horror one. Wasn’t the fastest way to heat things up between girls to go to a horror escape room or watch a horror movie? Although cliché, this method was very effective. It was like getting physical first to quickly escalate the relationship.
“Yes, that’s it,” Tang Linlang said softly after confirming.
Hearing this, Adele immediately wrapped her arm around the girl’s slender waist.
“Then what are we waiting for! Go, go, go!” Adele, although scared to death in her heart, still acted enthusiastically in front of her girlfriend. Very cool!
Tang Linlang knew that Adele was accommodating her and felt warmth in her heart.
The two smoothly entered the mall, but instead of taking the elevator directly, they strolled from floor to floor, taking the escalators. Occasionally, Adele also wanted to go shopping. Since they were already out, the bustling crowd further lifted her spirits. Tang Linlang was also happy to take this opportunity to show off her wealth, to compensate for the deep shadow left behind not long ago when Celeste could provide Adele with a better life, and she could only watch helplessly. Because at that time, Tang Linlang was still a poor girl, while Celeste was a blonde capitalist heiress. Which side Adele should choose was obvious.
Tang Linlang was depressed for a long time because of this. But in the end, she regained her confidence with Adele’s comfort. And her father finally made the decision to “go against his ancestors” for his daughter. With one demolition, Tang Linlang’s wealth instantly caught up with the accumulation of the Celeste family over a long period. Of course, it was impossible for her to completely inherit the Celeste family’s wealth. So in terms of money, Tang Linlang had surpassed Celeste.
But unfortunately, Adele was just casually window shopping and didn’t have anything she particularly wanted to buy, wasting Tang Linlang’s intention to show off her wealth. But Adele didn’t leave empty-handed. She bought two drinks, one for each of them, and drank them with relish, using her own money.
The escape room experience center was on the third floor. Adele and Tang Linlang had anticipated that there might be more customers during the holidays. But when they arrived, they found that there were a lot of people. There were many areas inside that could accommodate several pairs of people simultaneously, but there was still a long queue in front of the experience center.
Adele looked slightly troubled, but she wasn’t anxious. She just said to Linlang, “Then let’s wait a bit longer.”
“…” But Tang Linlang didn’t want Adele to wait. So she softly said, “Let me try,” and left Adele, approaching the waiting customers one by one, asking if they could let her and Adele go first. Of course, there was compensation, and it was very generous. Linlang, the newly rich girl, finally had a chance to spend her money. No one could refuse Tang Linlang’s request, just for letting them cut in line, they could receive a hefty sum of money.
So the two naturally became the first couple to enter the experience center. Was this the power of money? Terrifying!
