Chapter 243: Dogs Don’t Want Him
“Some people just look innocent on the surface. Which bad guy would have ‘bad guy’ carved on his face?” Because he was so angry, Song Chuyi didn’t care that Yan Lei was by the side. He crossed his legs and said, “I suggest that you women get a man to tag along your travels next time. It’s much safer. Otherwise, it’d be really hard to say what would happen if any incidents occurred. Just like you said, if the four of you rented a car together and the tire burst in an isolated place? Would you girls know how to change it? If you drove into some hole, would you know how to get the car out? Also, don’t think that all foreigners are very nice. I’ve lived overseas for a few years and know that there are also a lot of bad people around and they can be even worse than the Chinese.”
Changqing stared wide-eyed. She felt as though he had destroyed all her wonderful feelings from her travels.
“Alright, alright, cut it out. Isn’t she back safely?” Yan Lei quickly said. “However, while Chuyi makes some sense, all in all, it’s fine as long as you have fun.”
“I had so much fun.” Changqing crossed her arms and shot a cold glance at a certain someone. “In any case, it was more fun than any of the trips I’ve gone on before.”
“That’s good.” Yan Lei smiled and nodded. Then he looked at the photos of the scenery in Mauritius with his daughter patiently.
They chatted all the way until they finished lunch and Yan Lei went to work.
Changqing had felt tired long ago. She went upstairs to take a shower. She reached Hong Kong in the wee hours today and didn’t get a good sleep.
Although she stayed in villas and luxurious apartments every day, they couldn’t compare to her house; if only there wasn’t an annoying old man talking behind her.
“I’m going to take a shower. Can you stop following me?” Changqing turned back. She was very petty and was still angry over the incident earlier.
Song Chuyi was silent and watched her with a frown for a while. He finally said with a deep voice, “Go take a shower first; I’ll wait for you outside. I’ll have a good chat with you later.”
Another chat…
Changqing was speechless. A chat after she came back and a chat before she left—what was there to talk so much about? Should he change professions from medicine to law?
She bathed slowly on purpose. When she came out, it was almost three.
Song Chuyi was very patient too, waiting for her outside. In any case, he had already waited for eight days and these few minutes didn’t matter.
After coming out from the shower, Changqing took the hairdryer out and blew her hair. It was very noisy and he was already in a bad mood. Now, with the noise from the hairdryer, he felt even more frustrated. He pulled the plug out straight away. “What kind of friends did you make there?”
“Just some friends,” Changqing said while blinking and looking out the window.
“Male or female?” His tone was cold.
Changqing said callously, “Both.”
“Helpful and good-looking men, right? Did you forget what I told you?” Song Chuyi’s eyes were seeping with coldness. “I didn’t allow you to wear those bikinis, but not only did you wear them, you even went to a bar. Did you completely forget that you’re already a married woman?”
Changqing was stunned and felt a little guilty. “How did you know?”
“How would I not know? Your friends update their feeds every day. This industry is only so big. Even if I didn’t see their posts, others did.” Song Chuyi took two deep breaths. He couldn’t fight with her; he must talk peacefully.
However, every time he saw this person when he returned, he felt like the fire in his heart overflowed like magma.
Changqing thought back to Jiang Duoyao’s updates and felt a little guilty. “We did have fun at a bar but we didn’t do anything.”
“If you didn’t do anything then what’s with the pictures of the handsome guys?” Song Chuyi laughed coldly. “Didn’t you say so yourself that you made a lot of friends there and played on the entire island? I lived in the States for so many years, but I’ve never done anything like this.”
Changqing pressed her lips together. “Yeah, when you were in the States, you were with Song Yunyang all day long. Why would you pine for other women?”
She turned back and plugged the hairdryer back in. Before the air started blowing, Song Chuyi plugged it out again. He frowned and coughed softly, and his tone became much gentler. “Let’s call it quits. Look, I left you at the airport once and you also went to Mauritius behind my back. I thought about it and won’t bicker with you about looking at handsome guys or wearing bikinis, so don’t be angry at me or talk about divorce anymore.”
Changqing was stunned. Those words sounded awkward. As though he was the generous one who wasn’t being calculative with her. “It’s not the same; I just looked at handsome guys and admired them. I didn’t have any thoughts, but you had someone else in your heart. How can we just call it quits just because you said so?”
The corners of Song Chuyi’s mouth silently stiffened for half a minute. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and walked towards the computer room. “Come with me.”
“What for?” Changqing was pulled all the way to the computer.
“Switch the computer on yourself,” Song Chuyi said as he lifted his head and glanced at her.
“Why must I switch the computer on?” Changqing really wanted to blow her top. Her dripping hair had already soaked her shirt. “I don’t even know the password.”
“I’ll tell you. You switch it on yourself,” Song Chuyi said.
Changqing was very down. She didn’t want to talk to him about computers now.
However, she still switched on the computer and it turned on very quickly. When she needed to key in the password, she said, “Password?”
He cleared his throat and looked out the window. “scyxihuanqingbao.”
“Oh.” He read out a chain of letters and Changqing was afraid she would type them incorrectly, so she remembered every letter and keyed each one in.
When he heard the log in jingle from the laptop, Song Chuyi turned his head and looked at Changqing, who was staring at the screen blankly. He had an unnatural look on his face. “Do you understand?”
“Understand what?” Changqing blinked and looked back at him. “There’s nothing on the computer at all.”
Song Chuyi stared daggers at her with his dark eyes for a while and turned away, taking a deep breath.
I’ve never seen a woman so daft before.
“The password,” he reminded, “do you remember it?”
“Why did you change the password again and even make it so long? I don’t remember it,” Changqing grumbled unhappily.
“Who was the one who changed the password first?” Song Chuyi’s face turned slightly cold.
Changqing was guilty.
He looked at her for a while and a tint of helplessness flashed past his eyes. He took a pen and paper from the table. “I’ll write the password for you. Take a good look.”
He took the paper and wrote it on his palm. After writing it, he threw the pen and paper in front of her. “Take a good look before napping.”
After saying that, he turned his head around and walked out of the computer room.
Changqing took the paper and looked carefully. This time, with it written clearly in black and white, she could tell very quickly.
So the new password for the computer meant: Song Chuyi likes Qing Bao?
Song Chuyi likes Qing Bao?
Changqing took a closer look and studied the pinyin. Not a word missing.
That’s right. It really is “Song Chuyi likes Qing Bao”.
Changqing’s blood almost rushed to her head from this sudden news.
This confession came so suddenly. Her heart seemed to be beating too quickly.
After all, she really didn’t dare to imagine that Song Chuyi would like her, because he had never said it before.
So now was she confessed to? Confessed to? In such an aloof way?
In the short time when her heartbeat was about to beat out of control, Changqing suddenly cooled down a little.
Although his confession took her by surprise and was a little romantic, he only said that he liked her and not that he only liked her.
Changqing looked at the piece of paper and felt a mix of emotions.
She was initially very tired and sleepy. Now, the sleepiness was all gone.
She sat in the computer room for a while before slowly making her way out. In the well-lit bedroom, Song Chuyi was sitting on the velvet couch with a book in his hands. He propped his two long legs up lazily. When he saw that she had come out, he lifted his gaze from the book and watched her quietly.
Changqing’s ears got hot. She lowered her head and pretended to have not felt his gaze, continuing to the dressing table to blow dry her hair.
Song Chuyi flipped a few pages in the book spiritlessly for a while until she finally stopped blowing her hair before standing up and walking towards her.
Changqing turned around. A familiar warm body suddenly leaned over from behind. He propped both his hands on the dressing table and lowered his head. His breath from above his thin lips was blowing softly above her head.
“Don’t block me.” Changqing tried to evade and push him.
He frowned and asked in a hoarse, low tone, “You didn’t understand?”
“…” Changqing suppressed the sound of her heart thumping and pouted. “I understand it, but you can like me and like Song Yunyang at the same time. I’ve only known you for this long. How could I compare to your childhood sweetheart?”
“I only know that I’m so smitten by a little vixen that I can’t sleep or eat in peace.” Song Chuyi sighed softly. He stared at her confused eyes and said, “Without you around, I can’t come here shamelessly every day. Back at Lakeview Residence, I was all alone. Even Robben wasn’t around; it was quiet everywhere. I prefer to have you by my side. When I get home, there would be someone pestering me, acting coquettishly with me and also someone to play with Robben, muttering to herself. Changqing, I know what I want. You are my happiness. Yunyang is my past. My head is all muddle-headed and smitten by a little vixen called Yan Changqing.”
After finishing his speech, he watched her with a gentle gaze.
Changqing’s heartbeat escalated from his words. She lifted her head, looked at him and felt as though his gaze was so scorching that she quickly looked away. She clenched her fists. There was a little sweetness from her heart thumping but also a little indignity and upset.
She pouted, saying in a strange tone, “I still don’t know. Aren’t you just… muddle-headed from my skills in bed?”
Song Chuyi’s gentle features suddenly twitched.
He was slightly speechless but couldn’t help but retort, “You were very innocent before, don’t forget. I couldn’t go in the first few times and I almost lost my life because of you, yet you still have the cheek to say you’re good in bed?”
“Forget it if you don’t think I’m good. Don’t touch me in the future.” Changqing didn’t think that he would bring up such an embarrassing incident again. She turned around, pushed his chest in a huff and walked away.
Song Chuyi quickly ran over and hugged her from behind, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. He hadn’t hugged her soft waist for a long time. His heart was wavering and he hugged her even more tightly. ‘No. If I don’t touch you, who else could I touch?
