Sheng Muxi put her phone back on the table and watched her walk from the bathroom door to the living room, then to the table to pick up a comb and brush her hair.
The fluffy pajamas fit Chai Qianning loosely, revealing a section of her fair wrist as she held a comb. The protruding bones at her wrist joints appeared even whiter against the soft, yellow pajamas.
As if sensing the other person's intense gaze, Chai Qianning paused in her hand holding the comb, then slowly turned her head and blinked: "Am I that pretty?"
"It looks good," Sheng Muxi replied softly.
Chai Qianning's eyes curved into a smile: "If you like it, look at it more." She continued combing her hair.
Sheng Muxi pursed her lips and said, "I just looked at your phone."
"Hmm." Chai Qianning's tone was extremely nonchalant, so frank that Sheng Muxi was embarrassed to say anything more.
“How could you have that kind of…” Sheng Muxi said with difficulty.
Chai Qianning put down the comb, dragged her feet over, sat on her lap, and wrapped her arms around her neck: "Which one?"
The other person's body carried the warmth of a bath and the fresh scent of shower gel. Although they used the same shower gel, Sheng Muxi felt that Chai Qianning's scent was better. She reached out and embraced the other person's breasts.
"Those indescribable emojis." Sheng Muxi finally found the right adjective in her mind.
Chai Qianning's eyelashes, still damp with water droplets, trembled slightly a few times: "It's not that hard to describe, is it?"
She grabbed her phone, opened WeChat in front of Sheng Muxi, and sent messages to her one by one. Sheng Muxi's phone then started vibrating on the table.
Chai Qianning turned the chat window towards her: "Which one do you mean is hard to put into words?"
Sheng Muxi glanced at it again, amazed. She hadn't seen it clearly when she looked at it in the other person's emoji library, but now that it was in the chat box, it was even more lifelike.
She also noticed that one of the animated emojis was somewhat similar to the new pose that Chai Qianning had mentioned last time.
Ahhhh—
Sheng Muxi wanted to hit her.
"Chai Qianning!!"
"Yes." Chai Qianning met her wide eyes and made a swallowing motion: "You're not seeing this kind of emoji for the first time, are you?"
Sheng Muxi pushed her onto the sofa, covered her head with a pig-shaped pillow, and turned her face away.
Chai Qianning removed the pig-shaped pillow, looked at the other person's shy earlobe, and bent over laughing heartily: "I understand, this is really the first time you've seen this kind of emoji."
"Sexy!" Sheng Muxi commented.
A light rain began to fall outside, pattering softly. The cold wind made the glass windows tremble restlessly; in City A, there truly are four seasons, and no season has a gentle breeze.
The room was dimly lit, and a corner of a blanket hung from the edge of the sofa. The blanket was decorated with delicate little flowers and was placed on Chai Qianning's lap. She played with the nose of a plush pig pillow with her fingers and said softly, "But your wife is just such a passionate person, what can you do about it?"
Chai Qianning raised her eyebrows at her.
Sheng Muxi stared at her face for a few seconds, then raised her fingertips and gently pinched her cheek.
Seemingly finding the other person's cheeks extremely elastic and smooth, Sheng Muxi got carried away, finding it increasingly interesting to pinch them.
This caused Chai Qianning's entire face to contort. She opened her mouth incoherently and said, "If you keep pinching me, I'll be disfigured."
Sheng Muxi withdrew her hand, her fingertips running through the other person's long hair. She moved closer to her.
After all that commotion, Sheng Muxi almost forgot the important thing she was going to say. She cleared her throat: "I have a question for you."
Such a formal opening.
Chai Qianning blinked: "What do you want to ask?"
“I heard…” Sheng Muxi paused.
As soon as Chai Qianning heard those three words, she knew it wasn't good news.
"You had an online relationship before?"
Upon hearing this, Chai Qianning herself paused for a moment.
A few seconds later, Chai Qianning revealed a meaningful expression: "Who told you that?"
Sheng Muxi smoothed her long hair: "Never mind who told me, just answer me first."
Chai Qianning thought to herself, "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"
Then she thought to herself, "Oh no, has she not uninstalled that green software yet?"
Uninstalled it? No? She couldn't remember. After all, she had a ton of apps on her phone, and she only cleaned them up when her memory was low. Otherwise, she just left them to rot.
Oh dear, could it be that she really didn't uninstall it? Could Sheng Muxi have seen it? Could she have seen all the nasty things she said while pretending not to know her?
Chai Qianning raised her eyes and met Sheng Muxi's bright gaze. The corners of her charming eyes seemed to reveal a hint of unfathomable meaning.
Judging from the other person's expression, they probably know.
Chai Qianning has always been able to maintain a calm demeanor in most situations and circumstances. Unperturbed, she tossed the pig-shaped pillow onto the sofa next to her.
This action almost made Sheng Muxi think that the other party was about to pounce on her and take her right there and then. However, Chai Qianning simply propped herself up on the sofa with one hand, leaned closer to her, and playfully raised her eyebrows: "What do you think? Hmm?"
"I understand, so you downloaded that software back then for...?"
"It's all for the sake of wooing you."
This person always speaks so directly, often making Sheng Muxi's ears burn.
Before going to bed at night, Chai Qianning first lay down in bed.
Sheng Muxi turned off the living room lights, went into the bedroom, but instead of getting into bed, she walked to the bedside table and picked up Chai Qianning's phone.
Chai Qianning was rolling around in the blankets when she saw her pick up her phone. She stopped and poked her mouth out from under the covers to say, "Are you checking up on me?"
She rolled over again: "Sigh, so this is what it feels like to be checked up on by your wife."
Sheng Muxi raised her eyes: "How does it feel?"
"It feels like I want to sleep with you the next second," Chai Qianning said with a grin.
Based on her understanding of Chai Qianning, the so-called sleeping was definitely not just sleeping.
She lowered her eyes and finally found the chat history between Chai Qianning and her in that green software.
She couldn't be the only one blushing every time; she wanted Chai Qianning to see what she had said to her before.
"Ahem." Before Sheng Muxi began to read, she cleared her throat in a mock manner.
Chai Qianning peeked out from under the covers: "What are you doing?"
"Don't you think the atmosphere tonight is perfect for reminiscing about the past?"
What kind of atmosphere?
"Recalling the atmosphere of the past."
".."
Sheng Muxi sat down on the edge of the bed, holding her hand in his other hand and his phone in his other hand.
Because she was lying down, Chai Qianning couldn't see what was displayed on the other person's lit-up phone screen.
"You like Auntie, right?"
Chai Qianning's eyelids twitched.
"When I first saw this distance, I thought you were my upstairs neighbor. But my neighbor said she doesn't use this app."
"Of course I like Auntie, that's why I chatted with her."
"Why change our nicknames? To make them more compatible."
"That's okay, true love knows no age."
"..." Sheng Muxi continued reading aloud to the screen, while Chai Qianning covered her face with the blanket: "Ahhh, why did you read it out loud?!"
"Oh, and so you wanted to be my daughter all along." Sheng Muxi lifted the blanket off her face and leaned closer: "Look at me."
"I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it." Chai Qianning grabbed the blanket and buried her face in the pillow.
"Didn't you say all these things? Why are you embarrassed?"
"How can you do this, reading out my chat history!" Chai Qianning's voice was muffled.
Sheng Muxi exited the software: "Then I'll uninstall this software."
"Let's unpack it." Chai Qianning lay face down on the pillow, completely sprawled on the bed.
Sheng Muxi finally found an opportunity to tease Chai Qianning, so she naturally wouldn't let it go easily. She tickled Chai Qianning's breasts with her fingertips: "Auntie has a house and a car, and she's not short of money. Call me 'Mom' again so I can hear it?"
"I won't shout." Chai Qianning twisted her body.
“Okay, then call me ‘wife’?” Sheng Muxi leaned closer to her ear.
Chai Qianning excelled at this. She lifted her face from the pillow and gently brushed her lips against the other person's earlobe: "Wife, I want a kiss."
The kiss lasted for half an hour. Considering that she had class the next day and was worried that it would be too obvious, Sheng Muxi took the initiative to end it.
Chai Qianning lay contentedly on the bed, her mouth seemingly numb. Sheng Muxi didn't immediately go to bed; instead, he propped his pillow up against the headboard and picked up Chai Qianning's phone to continue browsing.
Seeing that the other person hadn't lain down for a long time, Chai Qianning half-closed her eyes and lazily glanced over, recognizing from the phone case that Sheng Muxi was holding her phone.
She covered herself with the blanket and said in a drawn-out tone, "You're not going to go through my old chat history again, are you?"
"Checking on the staff."
"Oh." Chai Qianning rolled the blanket up with her foot.
Chai Qianning's phone truly opened up a new world for Sheng Muxi.
For example, Chai Qianning's photo library contains many random pictures, such as chat logs between Chai Qianning and her friends.
One of the memes has the caption: "I'll give you three meals a day."
This was truly astonishing, so much so that her finger hovered over the screen for a while before continuing to scroll up.
[Shitbich cake, a cake made from shit, never spoils; dried beef, made from wind-dried cow dung—you deserve it.]
[You've emptied your pants but haven't farted; do you want to have diarrhea that flies to the heavens?]
You'd better not let me find out, or else...#￥%%……&@#￥#%#%
And so on, and other text messages like these.
It has to be said that the conversational language used was really "civilized," even a bit suggestive.
She felt a little regretful, regretting seeing all this, which caused her to have a slight phobia of chocolate cake and dried beef.
