In the silent room, Zhou Jun stood in front of the window holding his mobile phone, looking at the raindrop hanging on the top of the window sill, wondering when it would fall.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
The raindrops slowly lengthened and suddenly fell in the long fourth second.
At the same time, Meng Shuyu's coquettish voice rang out from the receiver.
"Hey, I want to try this first to see the effect. If it works well..."
Without waiting for her to finish, Zhou Jun hung up the phone, turned around and walked out, pulling open the door.
In the next room, the call was suddenly interrupted. Meng Shuyu raised his phone and frowned at the screen.
Before I could even frown, I heard a knock on the door.
Meng Shuyu thought of something and his brows relaxed. He turned on the ceiling light, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the door and looked in the mirror.
Sure enough, it was Zhou Jun standing outside the door in his pajamas.
As if he knew she was looking at him, he also stared at the round lens.
The look in his eyes made it seem like he wanted to eat this door.
Meng Shuyu opened the door a little and poked half of his head out to look at him. His cunning eyes were like stars, twinkling at him: "Is the technician next door coming to provide service soon?"
Without the interference of the mobile phone, the coquettish tone of her drunken speech could be heard more clearly by Zhou Jun.
Zhou Jun's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he stared at her and said "hmm".
"Will there be a charge?"
Zhou Jun shook his head: "No, I'll pay for it."
Meng Shuyu said "Oh" and slowly opened the door.
As if he was dissatisfied with her for pulling too slowly, he waited until the door was open enough for a body's width, then he squeezed in sideways and leaned his back against the door.
The door slammed shut.
Meng Shuyu's heart jumped up, and the toes hidden in the slippers suddenly curled up: "You, a technician, are quite anxious..."
"If we don't hurry up, what if the customer changes his mind?" Zhou Jun looked at her flickering eyes and moved his gaze downwards from her face.
Fortunately, Meng Shuyu's alcohol-mudged brain still remembered that he was not wearing any underwear under his pajamas. He turned around quickly, hurried back to the bed, lay down flat and covered himself with the quilt.
He was wrapped tightly from head to toe, with only his head exposed, and his two hands were clinging to the edge of the quilt like a hamster.
"Then hurry up... it's time to get on the clock!"
Zhou Jun laughed and walked forward: "Where is my workstation?"
Meng Shuyu moved sideways like a crab, making room for him, patted the edge of the bed and said, "Here, but - but you can only sit, not lie down. I am a principled guest, you have to abide by the rules..."
Zhou Jun smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, glancing at the bright ceiling light: "Can you fall asleep with the light on?"
Meng Shuyu grabbed the edge of the quilt and pointed at the bedside cabinet: "No, turn it off."
Zhou Jun raised his hand and turned off the ceiling light.
It suddenly became dark all around, with only a warm yellow night light quietly shining in the corner.
With limited vision, the sense of smell naturally becomes more acute.
Meng Shuyu smelled the scent around Zhou Jun and thought, it was clearly the shower gel from the hotel, how could it smell so good? She really wanted to get closer to him.
She regretted having moved too far in, so she turned sideways to face him and moved slightly outward.
In the dim light, Zhou Jun's breathing became heavier. He raised his hand to block her forehead as she leaned over him: "That's it. Don't move."
"It's my bed, I can move it however I want... You have so many complaints, I'm going to give you a bad review!"
"How can you sleep if you move around like that?"
"Oh, that's right..." Meng Shuyu lay on his side and didn't move. "That's it, you can comfort her."
Zhou Jun adjusted his sitting position, lowered his head and asked, "What do you want to hear?"
"Listen to a story, but don't make it too difficult to understand. I can only listen to plain language now..."
"Then let me tell you a fairy tale?"
"Hmm..." Meng Shuyu closed his eyes.
Zhou Jun nodded and thought for a while, leaning against the headboard and thinking: "A long time ago, there lived a kind bear couple in a beautiful forest. They were the heads of the forest and took care of a group of homeless animals..."
Meng Shuyu closed his eyes and found fault: "The beginning of your story is wrong. Isn't the forest the home of animals?"
"But these little animals have left their nests and dens, and they don't have any of their own kind around them, so they feel like they have no home."
"Oh, go on..."
"One day, the bear couple found a lonely fox cub outside the forest. They looked everywhere for it, but couldn't find another fox, so they brought it back to the forest and let it live with other small animals."
"The little fox grew up slowly under the care of the bear couple. Although there were no fox companions around, it felt very happy living with so many small animals."
"When the little fox was six years old, a wolf couple walked into the forest looking for their lost wolf cub and saw the little fox. Because the little fox looked a bit like the wolf cub, the wolf couple couldn't find the wolf cub, so they thought a fox cub would do, so they asked the bear couple if they could take the little fox away, saying they would take good care of him."
"Hmm..." Meng Shuyu felt sleepy and murmured, "What happened next..."
"The bear couple saw that the wolf couple had shiny fur and beautiful clothes, and they must be wolves that were living a good life. So they agreed to their request so that the little fox could have a better life."
"The little fox followed the wolf couple and left. Although he was reluctant to leave the forest and the bear couple at first, he later felt that he finally had a home because the wolf couple treated him very well."
"Unfortunately, an accident happened the next year. One day, the wolf couple suddenly brought a little wolf from outside and said that this was their lost wolf baby. The little fox knew that he was not a wolf. When he saw the little wolf coming back, he felt that he might be homeless again."
"Sure enough, the wolf couple finally found the little wolf, and tried every way to make up for the little wolf. They loved the little wolf and gradually forgot about the little fox. The little fox became more and more lonely in that home. He didn't know how to attract the attention of the wolf couple, so he had to study hard."
"The little fox was pretty smart and hardworking, so he learned everything very quickly. It wasn't long before he became much more powerful than the little wolf. The little wolf felt threatened and started to oppose the little fox everywhere, and the family became a mess."
"The wolf couple tried hard to maintain peace at home until the little fox was nine years old, when he and the little wolf had a big conflict. The wolf couple found that the little wolf and the little fox really couldn't live together. But they couldn't abandon their little wolf, so they sent the little fox back to the forest."
"That's too tragic. Don't tell me about tragedies..."
"It shouldn't be a tragedy, right?" Zhou Jun smiled in the dark.
"After the little fox returned to the forest, he was really sad at first and didn't want to talk to other animals. He locked himself in the house every day and didn't go out. But one day, a little white rabbit came to the forest. This little white rabbit was very cute and lovable, and all the animals loved to play with her."
"But the little white rabbit didn't like these little animals that wanted to play with her. Instead, she went to find the little fox who didn't talk to her. If the little fox went east, she would follow it east, and if the little fox went west, she would follow it west. After a while, the little fox finally agreed to talk to the little white rabbit and play with her."
Why is there another character
Meng Shuyu's head felt dizzy as he listened. He wanted to give Zhou Jun some advice, but his mind became increasingly confused, so he just listened without really paying attention.
"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The little white rabbit seemed to only like the small animals that didn't play with her. The little fox played with her for a few days, and one day, the little white rabbit suddenly ignored the little fox. The little fox didn't know what he had done wrong, nor did he know how to please the little white rabbit. Seeing that the little white rabbit gave the candy in her hand to other small animals but not to him, the little fox had to leave disappointed. But he didn't expect that after this departure, he never saw the little white rabbit come to the forest again..."
Meng Shuyu was no longer able to think about the details. He just heard that the little fox seemed to have been abandoned again. He thought that Zhou Jun was really a liar. Isn't this a tragedy
What’s the point of that little white rabbit being cute? It’s just a piece of trash!
Poor little fox, your sincerity is misplaced!
As I thought about it, Zhou Jun's voice became farther and farther away, more and more vague, and slowly became inaudible.
"The little fox saw the little white rabbit again when he was already nineteen years old..." Zhou Jun said this, and heard Meng Shuyu's heavy breathing. He stopped talking and looked down, and whispered tentatively, "Fall asleep now, little white rabbit?"
Meng Shuyu did not respond.
Zhou Jun sighed and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "I've tried it on you. Are you satisfied with the results?"
Meng Shuyu heard the question in his ear this time, and answered vaguely: "Hmm..."
"Can you be my girlfriend now?"
"Um… "
"You won't dump me this time?"
"Um… "
Zhou Jun raised his index finger and gently scratched the tip of her nose: "Then it won't be a tragedy."
Early the next morning, Meng Shuyu woke up in his hotel bed, opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the morning light leaking in through the gap in the curtains, then looked at the empty room. Memories of last night's drinking slowly came back to his mind.
From when she couldn't sleep and called Zhou Jun, saying a lot of dirty words, to when she welcomed Zhou Jun home, let him sit on her bed, and coaxed her to sleep...
Then Zhou Jun told her a story, which seemed to be a very childish fairy tale. The protagonist was a fox, and the supporting characters were a bear and a wolf...
Forget it, I can’t remember clearly. It doesn’t matter. The key point is that when she was about to pass out, Zhou Jun seemed to ask her a question.
—Can you be my girlfriend
-Um…
Meng Shuyu suddenly jumped up from the bed.
No way! No way!
Meng Shuyu, you have been single for twenty-five years. You finally found your partner, but you did it so hastily
Zhou Jun, are you still a human being
Why don't you just express your feelings in a formal way instead of asking such questions when the person is already drunk and sleepy
What’s the difference between your girlfriend and the one you cheated on!
and…
Meng Shuyu thought back to what she said on the phone. Thinking carefully, she had clearly confessed her love to Zhou Jun again last night...
Meng Shuyu, ah Meng Shuyu, you really can't hide anything with your mouth!
I just realized that I like him, and I couldn't hold it in all night so I told him, and I was so unrestrained that I invited him to my bed...
Meng Shuyu was so angry that he wanted to slap himself hard. He pulled his hair and drooped his eyebrows in dejection.
After all, she is my first love, so I should have a proper ceremony when she is sober...
Just as I was thinking this, a shrill alarm sounded from the bedside table.
Meng Shuyu woke up from a dream when he saw the time.
Today is the second day of the forum. It is almost eight o'clock and I still have to continue working.
Meng Shuyu quickly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, preparing to run into the bathroom to wash up. When he ran to the door, he suddenly heard someone knocking on it.
When she looked through the porch mirror, she saw her boyfriend, dressed respectably in a shirt and trousers, standing outside the door.
It was too sudden. She hadn't yet accepted that she had a boyfriend after a drunken streak, so how did her boyfriend come to her house
Meng Shuyu turned his back, clenched his right fist and tapped it against his left palm, trying to think of a solution.
I heard three knocks outside the door.
Meng Shuyu took a deep breath and opened the door.
The moment I saw Zhou Jun, the scenes from last night flashed before my eyes like a movie.
Meng Shuyu, why do you do this and that after drinking
I felt like I was standing in front of Zhou Jun without any clothes on. How embarrassing...
Meng Shuyu hid behind the door, facing him with her face, and said preemptively: "I just got up and haven't packed up yet, you go downstairs to have breakfast first!"
As he said this, he was about to close the door.
Zhou Jun raised his hand to block the door, lowered his head and carefully observed her expression: "It's okay, take your time, I just want to take a look first - have you saved the copy you cleared last night?"
"… "
Meng Shuyu raised his eyes, looked at Zhou Jun and swallowed gently.
Judging from the way he asked, he should be able to allow her to cheat.
She's already made it to the last level, so it wouldn't be too much to ask him to go through it again to give her some experience, right
"You may not believe this," Meng Shuyu blinked calmly, "This copy, it—"
"Um?"
“It’s backed up.”
"… "
The author has something to say: Don’t worry, Meng Meng, it’s okay to be bold and act like a spoiled brat. He has known that you are a scumbag since he was nine years old anyway.
I wanted to write all the parts you guys wanted to read in one go, but I was afraid that rushing through the key plots would affect the quality, so I’ll update early tonight, and try to update a fat chapter or two chapters tomorrow qaq
