I hope by the end of the story that Xingyuan realises these roadblocks she takes so seriously (the father deadline stuff) can be demolished if need be, and that she's an adult and can make her own life decisions, can't really blame her for not having great forward vision though since she's still young and has visibly been guilt tripped into oblivion...
My guess, those two were close besties
But straight haired girl developed romantic feelings for her, UNREQUITED feelings
Rumors started, about them being too close etc
Friend had a lil panic about being outed and bullied so she put it allll on her fiend
And she couldn’t totally deny the rumors, not the her liking her friend but about being a lesbian, cuz she is one
Xingyuan putting on a master class in how to defuse the situation for Xiaoen. Creates blunt and obvious distance between this "friend." Then communicates before she's even asked to share. Clearly, she still doesn't like this "old friend," who is also clearly barking up the wrong tree now.
Wow the audacity of people to tell Xingyuan that she's gross, let me punch them.
Thank you very much for translating.
It's been a great journey, i never regretted any second i had to read My Dear Lass, i think A-Hu really creates such a beautiful story and her art is just amazing as always.
Ooh! So the girl's a homophobic(maybe closeted gay, likes Xingyuan secretly). Her close friend too maybe, but denied her by humiliating when Xingyuan outed.
