Chapter 382: Chapter 383 Happiness is just a little bit of satisfaction
“If it can vent your anger, you can see my naked body too.”
“If you dare to pull down your trousers, I will kill you!” Sister Tiger knew that I was a kind of shameless man that would really do it if she said yes. She quickly covered her face with her hands, but none of her fingers covered her eyes…
The biggest advantage of a man was that men were more thick-skinned than women. Knowing that Dong Xiaoye would not really ask me to do it, I jokingly said, “This is the fairest method I can think of. I really can’t think of anything else. Unless you want me to take responsibility and marry you?”
I was hoping that this joke would change her mood a little, but I didn’t expect that Dong Xiaoye would suddenly put down her hands and glared at me while biting her lips, even her eyes also teared up.
‘Oh no, she is really thinking about this.’
I was at a loss. Before I could think of anything to ease the atmosphere, Tiger Sister lifted her foot, took off one of the slippers, and threw it at me fiercely, “YOU JERK!”
Dong Xiaoye was really upset this time…
“I thought you were a man!?” After saying this, she rushed out of the bathroom wearing only one slipper. I wanted to chuckle bitterly, but the corners of my mouth barely twitched…
Unexpectedly, Sister Tiger, who looked very carefree, was actually a more conservative person than me.
I was not a fool. How could I not feel that Sister Tiger’s attitude towards me had changed since Long Xiaotian’s birthday party? I knew that it was what I did and the vague words I said at that time caused her to misunderstand that I was interested in her. But I never had a chance to explain it to her clearly. After all, if Dong Xiaoye didn’t express her feelings, I couldn’t just go to her and tell her that I was not interested in her, right?
However, now, I couldn’t explain to Sister Tiger even more. I had seen every part of her body, shouldn’t I take some responsibility as well?
But what about Ziyuan? Not only had I seen every part of her body, but I also had sex with her. I couldn’t leave her either… And what about my promises to Liusu…
There were so many responsibilities I should take that I felt like I was going to be crushed by them. Although being liked by those women made me secretly happy inside, what I felt more was guilt.
….
After taking a shower, I put on a suit. While I was polishing up my shoes at the door, Dong Xiaoye just looked at me coldly without saying anything. Chu Yuan and Dongfang Lianren, who had just crawled out of the bed, could see that she was angry at me, but the two smart girls didn’t ask her anything.
When I was about to go out, Chu Yuan stopped me, “Elder Brother, wait.”
“What is it? Do you want to go with me too?”
Chu Yuan was obviously tempted by my suggestion, but she eventually held it back and said insincerely, “You are going to deceive Ms. Shu’s family, why would I want to follow you to do that? You are a big liar, but I am not a little liar.”
I couldn’t help but show a complicated smile. Yes, I, Shu Tong, and her parents were liars, but there were reasons for our lies, and we had no other choices.
“Then why did you stop me?”
Chu Yuan stretched out her little hand in front of me, “My living expenses.”
“Living expenses? Didn’t I just give it to you last week? Why do you want it again?”
After Chu Yuan moved in, she took over all tasks such as buying food and paying utility bills. Even my phone bill was also paid by her. At first, I was quite surprised. I thought that this girl was willing to take the initiative to do these things for me because she cared for me. Later, I realized that she was gradually taking away my economic power. Probably in another half a year, she would not ask me for money anymore, and she would directly manage all my money.
Chu Yuan complained like a little housewife, “In the past, there were only two of us in the family, which cost us two to three hundred yuan a week, but now there are two more people. Not only the food expenses have increased, even the water bills and electricity bills are also much more expensive now. Moreover, there are also other things that girls need to buy, so we will need more money than a man…”
Hearing what she said, I couldn’t help but feel amused, “What other things do you need to buy? As far as I know, all you need are just a few more packs of sanitary napkins. How much would that cost?”
“You are so annoying!” Chu Yuan gave me a punch in the stomach. Although she didn’t use much strength, her punch was solid. Sure enough, after staying with Dong Xiaoye for a while, she had also been influenced by her to some extent. “I’m talking about cosmetics and snacks.”
Speaking of it, the expense of snacks for these three girls was really scary. But the strange thing was that they never put on any weight.
“How much do you need?”
Chu Yuan said with a smile, “500. If I spend it all, I will ask you for some more.”
“I’ll give you 1000, so you don’t need to come back to me again. If you finish it all, you have to wait until next month.”
“No,” Chu Yuan pouted her mouth and said, “I just want 500.”
“Why?” I was puzzled, “Last time you also asked for 500, but you came back to me again just a week later. Wouldn’t it be much better to give you more at once? Are you not tired of asking me for money repeatedly?”
Chu Yuan blushed, but stubbornly said, “I like the feeling of asking you for money.”
“What?”
I couldn’t understand the logic behind Chu Yuan’s reason, but Dongfang Lianren laughed out loudly, “Elder Brother Nan, Yuan Yuan means that what she likes is not how much money you give her, but the feeling of having you as her sugar daddy.”
“Dongfang! If you keep talking, no snacks for you.” Chu Yuan scolded Dongfang embarrassedly, but she didn’t deny it.
Looking at Chu Yuan’s red face and twinkling eyes, I felt a little complicated, but eventually, I didn’t say anything. I took out five banknotes and placed them in Chu Yuan’s palms. Chu Yuan accepted them with a smile, showing a very satisfied look.
Maybe happiness was nothing more than the accumulation of such a little bit of satisfaction… I didn’t know why I would suddenly have this kind of thought. Probably it was because of Chu Yuan’s satisfied smiling face.
I liked Chu Yuan acting like a little housewife, managing everything at home, and I also liked her cute expression when she was satisfied… But at the same time, I also felt that this kind of feeling seemed to have developed in a strange way.
“Xiaoye, living in my flat is part of your job, right? So are you able to claim all your expenses?” Seeing Dong Xiaoye tear open a bag of potato chips and open a can of beer unscrupulously, I couldn’t help but ask. I was not worried that she would make me go bankrupt by eating and drinking too much, I just wanted to find a chance to talk to her.
Dong Xiaoye glared at me, then turned her head to continue watching TV, and said, “After completing this task, I will quit my job and stay in this flat forever. I will make you feed me. You asked for it.”
Hearing this reply, I smiled. Of course, I didn’t take Dong Xiaoye’s words seriously, and Dong Xiaoye would never quit her job. She just said this to vent her anger. Since she was willing to talk to me, it proved that she was actually not that angry anymore.
“Okay, I don’t mind feeding you. I asked for it after all.” I jokingly said.
Dong Xiaoye was dazed for a second, and then threw the newly opened bag of potato chips towards me annoyedly, “Get out of here, you shameless man!”
I quickly closed the door to block the bag of potato chips, but before closing the door, I also saw that Dong Xiaoye smiled…
Sure enough, such a small amount of satisfaction was happiness. Most people would feel that they were living a very hard and very unhappy life because they ignored the small satisfaction that they had already received. It was because of this that their happiness was slipping away from them a little by little.
However, I didn’t know whether such a small satisfaction would give Chu Yuan or Dong Xiaoye the happiness that they wanted. This was what troubled me the most…
….
After having a ‘fight’ with Dong Xiaoye, and being ‘teased’ by Chu Yuan. I was feeling much better. Although there were more things that gave me headaches, I strangely felt that everything would eventually be solved.
I tried to call Mo Fei, but her cell phone was off. Then I called her “spy”——Yao Wan’er. As expected, Yao Wan’er knew that Zhu Danchen was invited to go to Fengchang by Mo Fei early in the morning, but she refused to tell me the reason. She just said with a smile that Mo Fei would tell me tomorrow, and it would be a very big surprise.
I didn’t think that I would be surprised, because I had already figured out the reason why Mo Fei would want to invite Zhu Danchen.
