Chapter 431 Changqing: Nicely Done. I Just Like How You Display Your Love So Publicly.
“yeah. i don’t feel like moving.” ruan yang looked up. “you don’t want to?”
“i do. of course i do.” li shaobin nodded vigorously.
what a joke. why would he be so stupid to reject something so awesome?
he quickly picked her up. the warm light cast a glow on her jade-like skin. li shaobin was bedazzled.
ruan yang didn’t have any energy left. although she was shy, she kept yawning and her waist was also sore, so she just let him continue doing whatever, and it was only when he wanted to have another go that she pulled his ear hard. “can’t you stop?”
“you’re the one who told me to give you a shower.” li shaobin pouted, aggrieved, but he didn’t dare to do anything reckless anymore. after the shower, he wiped her clean and carried her obediently back to bed.
ruan yang was already exhausted. when she lay down in bed, she started to drift off to sleep drowsily. beside her, li shaobin was still very excited. he flipped over and cuddled her, kissing her hair as he asked, “yangyang, how did i do tonight? how many points would you give me?”
ruan yang thought for a while and said, “maybe 70.”
li shaobin was disappointed. “shouldn’t it be 99?”
ruan yang laughed. she rubbed his cheeks and said, “continue working hard.”
li shaobin’s heart shook.
…
the next morning, while ruan yang was still sound asleep, he took a selfie in bed secretly. he was topless and he didn’t reveal ruan yang’s face. he only put some of her hair on his shoulder on purpose—that way, people would know that a woman was definitely sleeping beside him from the photo. it would be best if xin ziao saw it. he had many classmates on his feed that knew xin ziao too. he just wanted to drive xin ziao to his grave.
after uploading it onto his feed, li shaobin started to stick himself to ruan yang, stroking her here and there. she pushed him sleepily and li shaobin said, “yangyang, you only gave me 70 points yesterday. i feel i need to work harder.”
ruan yang was so exhausted and limp from his hard work that she didn’t even want to make breakfast. li shaobin could understand her exhaustion, so he bought breakfast for her before leaving for work.
ruan yang only woke up after 11 am. when she switched on her phone, there were a few missed calls. two of them came from changqing. she thought it might be something important so she called back.
changqing said stealthily, “ruan yang, don’t tell me you just woke up.”
“yeah. i did,” ruan yang replied.
changqing took in a deep breath. “you two are too hardworking. but i really didn’t expect it. ruan yang, you actually had sex with brother shaobin so quickly. how does it feel to eat up that evergreen grass?”
ruan yang’s face heated up. “what nonsense are you talking about?”
changqing snorted. “stop trying to fool me. brother shaobin already posted it on his feed. one look at that lock of hair and i knew it belonged to you. there was even a red mark on brother shaobin’s shoulder. i couldn’t tell that the two of you were so intense. seeing that early in the morning made me all excited. when i called you a few hours ago, you didn’t pick up. seeing as you just woke up, as an experienced person, my guess is that you two must’ve been working hard in the morning too.”
ruan yang suddenly understood it all. she already felt like killing li shaobin. it looked like all attempts at denial would be futile. “what are you all excited about? if you’re excited, go look for song chuyi.”
“ruan yang, you’re so obscene. i didn’t mean that,” changqing said. “i was just surprised. i couldn’t imagine brother shaobin and you in bed.”
ruan yang’s face darkened. “don’t you have to record a program at the end of the year? why do you have so much time to chat with me? i’m hanging up.”
“aye…” over on her side, before changqing could finish speaking, she heard the disconnected tone after the phone was hung up.
ruan yang opened her feed and saw the first post that was updated. it was li shaobin’s ambiguous photo. what embarrassed her most was what li shaobin wrote: waking up with my dearest is really blissful…
song chuyi was the first to comment: i’m having breakfast. i feel like puking already.
yan molun: are you sure she didn’t despise you for not being good?
duoyao: wow, are you sure our ruan yang won’t beat you to death for taking such a picture?
changqing: nicely done. i just love how you display your love so publicly. @chuchu, are you sure you’re not going to learn from him?
song chuyi: isn’t it enough for you every time you fiddle with my phone?
changqing: no. i want you to take the initiative.
song chuyi: get lost.
li shaobin: you people—stop flirting in my comments section.
ruan yang facepalmed. she pretended to have seen nothing. nothing at all.
however, she had already lost all face to face people. she knew duoyao was right. he would definitely be beaten to death.
she called li shaobin, frustrated. “don’t you find it a little too mushy uploading a picture like that on your feed as a man?”
“what’s so mushy about it? it’s alright,” li shaobin said nonchalantly. “you told me not to upload it on weibo last time, so i listened to you and uploaded it on my feed. ruan yang, don’t tell me you’re going to stop me from even uploading it onto my feed? that’s the wrong attitude. we’re together. even if you don’t upload anything on your feed, how can you stop me from doing so? are you very afraid that other people will find out about us?”
“i’m not. i’m just not used to it.” ruan yang was a little stumped by him.
“look at changqing. she loves to show-off her love. you’re also a woman. forget it if you don’t to show-off, but you’re even trying to stop me from doing that. that will make me start overthinking. do you not like me, do you not love me?”
ruan yang: “…”
she couldn’t out-talk him, so she gave up.
…
after a few days, guan ying returned from her production team and offered to treat ruan yang out to a meal. the two of them met at a cantonese restaurant. guan ying probably hadn’t had a proper rest for a few days. despite her thick make-up, her tiredness couldn’t be concealed. she looked at ruan yang with a face full of envy. “good for you—you get to sleep in every day and lead such a nourishing life at home, unlike the rest of us. there’s a load of work to do at the end of the year. i only sleep for about three to four hours a day.”
“haven’t you always wanted to become popular?” ruan yang said as she poured a cup of tea for herself.
guan ying was stunned. “how did you know? i don’t remember telling you that.”
“i seem to have been able to get some glimpses of my memory.” ruan yang was also stunned for a while before she said, “are you guys… also busy with work over the new year?”
“yeah.” guan ying sighed. “if you don’t have to work, you can come over to my house for the new year. it’s just a pity that… duoyao isn’t coming, but i think it’s because she has to go back to her old residence in xiamen. i think yan molun will be going over with her too.”
“an official meeting with the parents.” ruan yang smiled.
guan ying said, “are you sure you’re not going home?”
“of course i want to go back, but my parents would definitely still be unwilling to see me.” ruan yang shrugged.
“li shaobin would definitely go with you. but i really didn’t expect the two of you to get together.” guan ying had a strange expression. she had met li shaobin a few times and she felt that his taste was weird.
ruan yang smiled. she wasn’t the only one to say that. “i think it’s okay. think about it—my reputation is already so bad right now. for him to have the courage to like me is already very incredible.”
guan ying was stunned. that was true too.
guan ying also worked in the industry. she could truly understand what it felt like. there would be many men who would say they liked you and pursue you but they would actually look down on you. to put it plainly, they just wanted to play. especially in ruan yang’s current situation, men would have those kinds of thoughts even more. however, li shaobin didn’t. moreover, he came from a good family, and if it was her, she might’ve also wavered. however, no matter what, ruan yang was decisive and knew what she wanted.
after the meal, ruan yang and guan ying shopped around at the mall for a while and bought some men’s pajamas and underwear. they only parted after 9 pm.
…
the next day, ruan yang went to the supermarket. just as she picked up a meat bone, she heard a familiar voice from behind. “you still like drinking soup, just like before.”
she turned back and saw xin ziao standing behind her with a smile. he had a face shape that was the current most popular face shape for men—an oval face. his features were prominent and his hair was naturally wavy. he approached with a naturally imposing aura, but when he smiled, it was very mesmerizing.
ruan yang was stunned. however, she regained her calmness very quickly. “how did you find me?”
xin ziao smiled. “it’s simple. we’ve known each other for five to six years. i know everything about you very well, including your friends. when you don’t work, you’re quite a homebody, so you might not like to go out but you would still keep in contact with your friends.”
“you tailed me last night?” ruan yang suddenly understood everything.
xin ziao looked at her with admiration. he admired her intelligence and how she could respond very quickly, unlike zhao zhu, who was dumb and foolish. “yeah. so you’re staying in li shaobin’s apartment. yangyang, your taste is a little bad.”
“it’s always been bad.” ruan yang lowered her head and continued to pick her vegetables.
“stop staying at his place.” xin ziao continued talking as he stood beside her. “if you keep doing this, i’ll tell the media where you’re staying.”
“are you done?” ruan yang said with frustration. “your wife told the reporters my address at rong estate last time and made the reporters squat outside every day. that’s why i moved out. do the two of you have to force me out of northern city before you’ll feel better?”
“zhao zhu wasn’t the one who exposed your address at rong estate,” xin ziao said. “it was li shaobin. ruan yang, he just wanted you to move over to his place. his motive was very clear. zhao zhu didn’t even know where you lived.”
ruan yang was stunned. she turned back to look at him. xin ziao also met her gaze with nothing to hide. “i’m not lying to you. you’ll know once you ask him.”
ruan yang felt like cursing. after all that fuss, she actually fell into li shaobin’s trap.
