Anyway, it shouldn’t have anything to do with her, right…
She didn’t do anything at all!?
Even though she thought that, there was absolutely nothing else in the room besides herself…
The computer screen was filled entirely with horror scripts…
Haki Xiao, this guy… could it be that he’s obsessed with horror scripts now?
That seemed unlikely.
No matter how she thought about it, it was probably because earlier when he was having his feet rubbed, some switch got flipped and he ended up acting way too… suggestively…
So, Haki Xiao had been like this from then until now.
But seriously, this is too persisten.
Song Qiuyu’s cheeks flushed slightly as she took three deep breaths, summoning her strength to look back at the screen, where the mini tent reflected in her eyes had now turned into the document on the computer screen.
Yet if you looked closely at the computer screen, you could see the reflections of both of them.
The person sitting in the chair looked abnormal, and the person standing beside the chair looked abnormal too.
Jiang Xiao noticed it as well.
This was only natural. Song Qiuyu didn’t think Jiang Xiao would miss something like this—it was after all part of the body.
Ah!
Song Qiuyu didn’t move, trying to continue explaining as if she hadn’t noticed.
After all, she knew this was a very awkward matter.
The night breeze blew in from the balcony, brushing through their hair.
Jiang Xiao suddenly coughed, then reached out to take her water cup.
It was as if he was too embarrassed and wanted to walk away for a bit, but also like he genuinely realized she needed it. “You’ve been talking for a while; you must be thirsty. Let me pour you a glass of water!”
“Mm, thanks, Jiang Xiao!” Song Qiuyu nodded.
Watching Jiang Xiao walk toward the water dispenser, she saw for the first time the uncontrollable panic and shame on his face, but she didn’t say anything.
She was in roughly the same position as this witness.
But seeing Jiang Xiao like this made her eyes sparkle slightly. Because of Shen Xi, Jiang Xiao always locked himself away in his own little world, acting indifferent outwardly.
But now, at least, he was showing some kind of feeling toward others…
Though it seemed like it was about himself, this was only temporary…
Probably because he’d been holding it in too long…
As long as she didn’t expose herself, after some time, he would probably get infatuated with other girls again.
Like Sang Tian.
The wife she had carefully picked out for him.
Then, everything would get better.
Song Qiuyu began to feel hopeful about their future. At the same time, she started planning filming activities to see if she could create some opportunities.
Heh heh heh.
Jiang Xiao took the water while adjusting something in his pants pocket with one hand.
When he turned around, he caught the hopeful gleam flickering in Song Qiuyu’s beautiful apricot-shaped eyes.
The hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and he seemed a bit dazed.
“Jiang Xiao, what’s wrong with you?”
Song Qiuyu noticed him zoning out and let out a puzzled voice.
“Ahem, ahem!”
Jiang Xiao seemed to come back to himself, coughing twice before stepping forward to hand her the water.
“It’s late. You have work tomorrow, so drink this and get some sleep. We’ll talk about the short video stuff when we have time.”
“Yeah, that’s true. We’ll talk tomorrow then.”
Song Qiuyu didn’t object. She could have stayed up a bit longer, but hearing Jiang Xiao say that, she was genuinely a little sleepy.
She finished the water, turned off the computer, exchanged goodnights with Jiang Xiao, then climbed up to her little compartment bed and pulled the bed curtain.
“All set.”
“Uh… good night.”
Jiang Xiao responded somewhat awkwardly.
Of course, Song Qiuyu didn’t immediately fall asleep after returning to bed.
She still needed to check the messages Jiang Xiao had sent to Shen Xi, which she hadn’t had time to look at this afternoon.
Logging in.
At that moment, Jiang Xiao downstairs also turned off the lights, plunging the entire dormitory into dim darkness.
However, after turning off the lights, Jiang Xiao didn’t immediately get into bed. Instead, he grabbed his phone and headed straight to the toilet.
The footsteps toward the balcony toilet were unmistakably clear to Song Qiuyu’s ears.
Her pupils contracted.
Thinking about what had just happened, she instantly understood what Jiang Xiao was going to do and couldn’t help her heart pounding faster and cheeks burning red.
Haki Xiao was going to use the photos she had sent him as “accompaniments” again! How annoying!
She felt uncomfortable inside and somewhat resistant, but then thought about how if little Jiang Xiao wasn’t soothed properly, Jiang Xiao probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, so she bit her lip and just scolded him softly.
Forget it. It wasn’t the first time anyway, and she had no way to argue with Jiang Xiao about this.
As long as Jiang Xiao could successfully find a new love, she believed Shen Xi, the old flame, would forever become a thing of the past!
She decided not to be upset with him.
Decisively, she opened Jiang Xiao’s chat window.
The toilet door creaked open and closed again.
Jiang Xiao looked helpless and troubled.
He never imagined he’d be forced to deal with little Jiang Xiao because of this kind of situation. The events of the past two days kept replaying in his mind.
The phone screen lit up, displaying Shen Xi’s white silk leg photo.
His lover’s white silk legs tempted him, and the beautiful blushing person in his mind was also tempting him.
Guilt flooded him, boundless and overwhelming.
Jiang Xiao briefly doubted himself.
Could it be that it wasn’t just Xi’er… maybe… Song Qiuyu… could also—
Impossible. It shouldn’t be.
This kind of thing was really unacceptable.
Jiang Xiao sank into despair, staring at the photo on his phone, deeply troubled.
If only Xi’er were still here, how good that would be.
During the National Day Holiday, the dormitory building was quieter than usual.
Song Qiuyu held her breath, trying hard to shift her attention away from Jiang Xiao—but she couldn’t.
Had it already started?
Her cheeks burned as she lowered her eyes to the messages in the chat window.
[Jiang Xiao]: Xi’er, today is the second day of the National Day Holiday. I met my roommate, the one I always talk about to you, Song Qiuyu. Because of financial issues, she’s working at a scenic spot and was even forced to wear women’s clothes. Seeing her awkward makeup made it really hard for me to keep a straight face. But I’m even more curious about what you look like with makeup. You’ve sent me so many photos, but not a single one shows your face. I think, Xi’er, you probably also wear makeup…
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu felt both guilty and uneasy. So many photos…
Right now, she really wanted to hack into Jiang Xiao’s computer and phone and delete everything related to Shen Xi!
But given Jiang Xiao’s current state, if she did that—
Jiang Xiao would definitely go crazy. Unless she revealed her identity, there would be no way to calm him down. But if she exposed herself, it would be a whole other disaster.
Besides, she didn’t even know how to hack.
The dormitory was still very quiet.
Therefore, her hearing became even more sensitive, and she caught faint sounds coming from the toilet.
Song Qiuyu didn’t have the habit of eavesdropping, nor did she have any such perverse tendency.
She decisively covered her ears with both hands and continued reading.
[Jiang Xiao]: I also went to the zoo with Song Qiuyu. We saw a meditating red panda and took lots of photos, which I sent to you to check out. But… after that, I met an elderly couple. Seeing them, Xi’er, made me curious about how you’d look when you’re old. If it’s you, even old, you’d definitely be a very beautiful old lady. So much happened today. Song Qiuyu even sprained her foot; just looking at it was painful. She really is a troublesome fool.
Attached were a bunch of photos.
After finishing reading, Song Qiuyu’s hands lowered from her ears.
She finally understood the reason behind Jiang Xiao’s inexplicable low mood at the zoo.
Jiang Xiao had been imagining what they’d be like when they grew old together?
She collapsed backward onto the bed, flipped over, then curled up like a shrimp.
Hearing Jiang Xiao moving, she quickly flipped to the other side, faced the wall, and tightly shut her eyes.
She could do her best to help Jiang Xiao with most of what he wanted.
But this one thing…
She really couldn’t.
Heh.
I just can’t do it…
At that moment, a muffled groan sounded.
Song Qiuyu’s pretty face flushed deep red as she pulled up the quilt folded into a square and wrapped herself tightly inside, nervously fidgeting.
Before the door opened, she already lifted the quilt and sat up on the bed.
“What a pain, what if I suddenly have to go to the toilet…”
