Chapter 59p2: I Love You
Qingli was a very direct snake. Not only were her words very direct, but her actions were also just as direct.
Every minute, every second, every word, every expression of Qingli was saying, I like you so much. I love you so much.
How should she respond to such love? Yu Chujin was a little lost. On the one hand, she felt a lot of pressure. On the other hand, she couldn’t help but be secretly happy and feel lucky.
“Maybe I should change my name. I shouldn’t be called Yu Chujin. I should change it to Yu Xingyun.”
To have met such a snake, it was too worthy of the name Yu Xingyun.
“Let’s go,” Yu Chujin got up, “Let’s go home.”
Qingli was excited, “Go home, go home!”
The snake was as fond of going home as ever. No matter how novel the outside world was, the snake still preferred to go home.
One person and one snake walked towards the mall exit. But just as they had walked two steps, a man blocked their way.
The man was wearing a floral shirt and was holding a briefcase. His three-seven part hair seemed to have been smeared with a bottle of hair oil and was shiny.
Who knows if the man in the floral shirt was doing it on purpose or not, but he raised his hand and, with a super casual gesture, revealed the watch on his wrist.
A xx brand watch, worth 300,000.
Revealing the watch was not enough. He also deliberately twirled the luxury car keys in his hand.
He was just short of writing “I have money” on his face.
The man in the floral shirt winked at Qingli, “Beauty, are you interested in becoming an actress? I have an entertainment company under my name. With your looks, I guarantee you’ll be a hit.”
Qingli didn’t even look at the man in the floral shirt and seemed to not hear him at all. She directly treated him as a transparent person.
The man in the floral shirt’s face showed embarrassment, but he still didn’t give up and was about to speak again.
Yu Chujin interrupted, “She doesn’t need it. She’s not interested in becoming an actress. Please make way.”
Regardless of whether this man in the floral shirt really had an entertainment company or not, even if he did, Yu Chujin would not let Qingli go over.
A tall tree attracts the wind. With Qingli’s silly snake personality, even without a camera on her, she was always at risk of being exposed.
If there was a camera on her, then there was no need to think. She would definitely be caught by the tail, and maybe tomorrow she would be captured for research.
The man in the floral shirt was displeased. He looked at Yu Chujin, and his gaze finally landed on the cheap fake flower hair accessory on Yu Chujin’s head. He sneered in disdain.
“I was asking her, not you. Someone like you might be a little beauty among passersby, but you’re far from being able to debut.”
“You don’t have a chance yourself. Don’t block your friend’s path. Don’t let your friend miss her opportunity. Otherwise, you’ll be too selfish.”
So high-sounding, so righteous.
Anyone who didn’t know would think that Yu Chujin was a jealous little person who wanted to block her friend’s path to stardom.
Yu Chujin looked at the watch on his wrist and said in a calm tone, “This brand of watch doesn’t have a silver model. Also, if I’m not mistaken, your car key should be a lighter, right?”
Her gaze turned to the briefcase tucked under his arm. She nodded.
“Your briefcase is real, but it seems to be worn out. You’ve been using it for several years, right? It can’t be second-hand, can it?”
“Is it so unprofitable to run an entertainment company now? A briefcase is worn out, and you’re not even willing to change it.”
The expression on the man in the floral shirt’s face turned from black to red, then from red to black, like an overturned color palette, a magnificent sight.
He glanced at Qingli, then at the surroundings. He couldn’t save his face and became angry from embarrassment:
“You’re talking so much. You’re wearing a plastic flower on your head. Do you really think you’re some rich person? A poor person. You don’t know what you’re talking about, and you’re still shouting here. What do you know!”
Yu Chujin rolled her eyes, “Although I’m a poor person, I know you. You’re a fake.”
The man in the floral shirt was completely annoyed. He pointed at her nose and cursed.
Yu Chujin had never lost a verbal fight with anyone. Of course, she was not afraid and was about to curse back.
Before the scolding words could come out, she first heard a dangerous, low growl and hiss.
Yu Chujin turned her head to look and saw Qingli’s back slightly arched, her head leaning forward.
That dangerous, low growl and hiss was coming from Qingli’s throat.
Yu Chujin secretly thought that it was not good.
She didn’t even have time to argue with the man in the floral shirt. She pulled Qingli and ran.
She had to run. If she stayed any longer, Qingli would probably transform in public and swallow this man in the floral shirt whole.
It wasn’t that she was afraid that Qingli would hurt the man in the floral shirt, but she was afraid that Qingli would be exposed in public.
Once she was exposed in this situation, even if Yu Chujin wanted to hide the little monster, she definitely wouldn’t be able to.
She pulled Qingli and ran all the way. The cursing voice of the man in the floral shirt gradually disappeared behind her.
She ran to a corner with few people, hid Qingli in the corner, and blocked everyone’s view.
She comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t get agitated. I wasn’t hurt. Don’t get agitated, don’t get agitated. You can’t transform. Calm down, calm down.”
Qingli’s eyes, hidden under her hat, had already turned into vertical slits. Her breathing had become heavy. She was in an attacking state, very angry.
Yu Chujin hugged her and patted her on the back, trying her best to comfort her.
Slowly, under her comfort, Qingli gradually calmed down.
Yu Chujin let go of her embrace and did not blame the snake for its gaffe just now. She patted her on the head, “Alright, alright. I know you can’t stand to see others bully me, but you can’t be like this next time.”
“This is very dangerous. Do you still remember what I told you before? Once people discover your abnormality, we will be separated. You don’t want to be separated either, right?”
Qingli stomped her feet in panic and fear, “Don’t be separated, don’t be separated. I didn’t transform. I won’t transform. We can’t be separated.”
Yu Chujin had often scared the snake with this topic before, and the effect was still very significant, although it seemed to have scared this snake quite a bit.
But being scared was better than being exposed. When she had to scare her, she still had to scare her.
Yu Chujin reached out and gently stroked her head, “Don’t be afraid. I’m just talking about the serious consequences. It hasn’t happened yet, has it? We won’t be separated.”
Hearing that they wouldn’t be separated, Qingli stopped stomping her feet, and her emotions calmed down.
“I, am not happy,” Qingli said.
“Because that person scolded me?” Yu Chujin asked.
Qingli nodded, “Yes, I’m not happy. I’m angry. I want to eat him.”
As she was speaking, she shook her head, “No, he’s a dirty thing. I can’t eat him. I want to bite him to death. I’ll bite him to death! I’m so angry. I’m so angry. She bullied you. I’m so angry, so angry, so angry…”
This was the longest sentence Qingli had ever said in one go, which was enough to show her anger.
Yu Chujin did not interrupt her and quietly listened to her words. To be so valued and protected by a snake, her heart couldn’t help but be moved.
From a young age, she had always handled things by herself and had developed a full body of thorns. If anyone bumped into her, she would immediately prick them back.
Because she knew that there was no one behind her, no one would protect her.
But, it was different now.
She also had someone to protect her, someone to protect her, and someone standing behind her.
Although this person could not be completely considered a person, she was a snake, a little monster, a silly, not-so-smart little monster.
“Snake, you’ve really made me feel a lot of things I never dared to think of before,” Yu Chujin took a deep breath, “Thank you, Qingli.”
“You’re welcome,” Qingli responded reflexively, “You’re welcome. Yu Chujin is not welcome.”
The overly official reply made Yu Chujin laugh.
In the cartoon for learning to speak, there would often be fixed phrases like “thank you” and “you’re welcome.” Qingli had heard them many times, so she naturally learned them, although she learned them very stiffly.
Yu Chujin took her hand, “Let’s go, let’s go home.”
Qingli looked down at their joined hands and began to smile happily, “You’re holding my hand.”
“There are too many people. I’m afraid you’ll get lost.”
“You’re holding my hand, you’re holding my hand, you’re holding my hand.”
She kept repeating it.
Annoyed by her nagging, Yu Chujin clicked her tongue. Qingli reflexively followed with a “tsk.”
Yu Chujin: “I’ve already explained it to you. There are a lot of people in the mall. I’m afraid we’ll get separated. Even if there wasn’t this reason, holding hands is holding hands. What’s the big deal? Why do you keep mumbling? Am I not allowed to hold your hand?”
Qingli: “Holding hands means you like me. You like me. You love me.”
Yu Chujin was stunned for a moment.
“You love me, and I love you,” Qingli held her hand tightly, their fingers intertwined.
Yu Chujin let her hold her hand tightly. Her hand was very cold, but also inexplicably very warm, warming her all the way to her heart.
***
Back home, just as she reached the yard gate, she heard Da Huang’s excited “woof, woof” barking.
She opened the door, and Da Huang flew over and pounced on her, its tail wagging happily.
Yu Chujin rubbed Da Huang’s head, “Alright, alright. I was only out for half a day. There’s no need to be so excited.”
Qingli looked at the hand that had been tightly held just now but was now released, then at the yellow ball that was fawning on her.
Angry!
“You’re fighting for favor. You’re so scheming. You have so many tricks up your sleeve. You’re a bad concubine.”
Yu Chujin looked at her helplessly, “It’s just a dog. You, I, I don’t even know what to say to you.”
Qingli was aggrieved, “I’m just a snake.”
Yu Chujin was choked.
Left with no choice, after petting the dog, she also patted this snake.
She was forced to treat them equally.
After returning to the house, Yu Chujin had originally thought that this snake would immediately take off its clothes. After all, on the way, she had been nagging about how uncomfortable it was to wear thick clothes.
From time to time, she would even want to take them off on the street, which scared her quite a bit.
But unexpectedly, Qingli had no time to take off her clothes at all. She had completely forgotten about the discomfort of wearing clothes and was instead the first to arrange…
The flowers she had received. Where should she hide them?
She was afraid that the hiding place was not good enough, as if the flowers would grow legs and run away.
After walking around for half a day, Yu Chujin collapsed on the sofa to rest. Her feet were a little sore from not exercising for a long time.
As for Qingli, she didn’t feel tired at all. She held a pile of flowers and ran from the room to the guest room, then from the guest room to the study.
From the first floor to the second floor, then from the second floor to the first floor, back and forth.
After half an hour of fussing, she still hadn’t found a suitable place to hide the flowers.
The snake became anxious.
As the snake was anxious, it was also mumbling to itself, “Put it here? No, no. Then put it here? No, no…”
Yu Chujin lay on the sofa and laughed.
Hearing the laughter, Qingli, in the midst of her busyness, took a moment to glance at her, “You’re laughing, but I’m busy right now. You wait.”
She even added an “oh” to her words, as if she were coaxing a child.
Qingli ran up to the second floor again. When she came down, the flowers in her hand were gone. She had probably found a perfect hiding place for the flowers.
Yu Chujin had rested enough. She got up and picked up the empty vase on the bookshelf, “Take those flowers out.”
Qingli refused, “No, they’re put away. I’m not taking them out.”
“Why are you talking in such a strange tone? Get rid of that ‘oh’.”
“Okay, oh.”
“…”
Yu Chujin raised the vase in her hand, “I know you cherish the flowers I gave you very much, but if you hide them in other places, they will wither soon. But if you put them in this vase, they can be preserved for a long time.”
Qingli tilted her head in thought, understood, and rushed up to the second floor, taking out the hidden flowers.
Yu Chujin filled the vase with water and put the flowers in the vase, “If you put the flowers in the vase like this, they can be preserved for a long time.”
Qingli learned seriously and gave a thumbs-up to praise her, “You’re great, you’re amazing.”
