Chapter 2: Two
Even if the puppy sticker packs the nameless pervert sent were adorable, it couldn’t change the fact that she was a pervert.
Yu Jiang was once again shocked by the other person’s bottomless, gloomy, and clingy behavior. A surge of anger born from the depths of her heart transformed into a raging flame, shooting straight to the crown of her head.
In the heat of the moment, she forgot that she wasn’t supposed to curse at the other person.
Casually tucking her textbooks under her arm, she stood right there in the middle of the busy path, her hands flying as she began to tap out one harsh sentence after another on the screen—words she had never said to anyone else.
By the time Yu Jiang regained her senses, three minutes had already passed.
During that time, she had been completely focused on unilaterally typing out her criticisms. Now, she could finally stop and take a look at the reaction from the other side.
【Who the hell are you?】
【Nameless Pervert: Who is the person who loves wife the most in the world? Hehe, it’s me!!! (puppy obediently raising its paws.jpg)】
【Is there something wrong with you?】
【Nameless Pervert: Thank you for cursing at me, wife. Favorites list +1. I love you so much, wife, muah muah muah!】
【You’re truly disgusting!】
【Nameless Pervert: Your cursing still isn’t harsh enough, wife. It seems you still feel bad for me. Wuwuwu, thank you for feeling bad for me, wife. I love you so much, wife (puppy nuzzle.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: [User has transferred 13140 yuan to you]】
【Nameless Pervert: Typing so many words to curse at me all at once must be so tiring, wife. Take the money and replenish your strength. You need to eat well to have the energy to keep cursing at me harshly~】
【Go to hell! You damn pervert!】
【Nameless Pervert: Such simple and direct words, the ultimate, wonderful enjoyment~ Curse some more, wife. I love hearing it so much~】
【Nameless Pervert: I need to work harder and save up more, so I can cover an entire wall with my wife’s exclusive gifts soon!】
【Nameless Pervert: (A picture of the A4 paper printed with the insults stuck next to a candid photo of Yu Jiang.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: I’ve already obediently printed out the first words you used to curse at me, wife. Aren’t I so well-behaved~】
【Nameless Pervert: By the way, just reporting to my wife, that’s the photo of you I was just kissing~ You’re so cute, wife, I love it so much, so much, so much!】
【When I get a policewoman to help me find out who you are, I’m definitely going to expose you on the confession wall! Just you wait for your social death! You damn pervert!】
【Nameless Pervert: (A screenshot from an online shopping site showing a selection of fluffy sex handcuffs.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: Which color do you like, wife? White? Pink? Black? Or this sexy leopard print one?】
Evidently, Yu Jiang’s typing speed still wasn’t fast enough.
This was what gave the nameless pervert the opportunity to jump in at every opening.
Looking at her own green-boxed messages on the screen, each met with a nonsensical reply, Yu Jiang laughed out of sheer anger.
What is this?
Am I playing the lute to a cow?
She slowly let out the breath of frustration that had been building in her chest and, completely deflated, tapped out one final, soulless sentence.
【What is it you even like about me? I’ll change, okay?】
The nameless pervert, for once, gave a straightforward reply.
It was just that the content of the reply, once again, made her vision go black.
【Nameless Pervert: I like that my wife doesn’t like me. Can you change that?】
【Nameless Pervert: I also like that when my wife curses at me, she only types and doesn’t send voice messages. Can you change that too?】
【Nameless Pervert: And I like that my wife doesn’t accept my money. This part is the most important. Can my wife change this one first?】
Yu Jiang gave up on arguing with her any further.
She took out the single earbud she had originally planned to put in after class started, deciding to wear it ahead of time.
The earbud was pushed into her right ear, its cool surface sending a slight chill against the tender skin.
The coldness startled Yu Jiang, and she reacted a moment too late.
It was as if someone had grabbed her by the back of her collar and was continuously pouring ice water down her clothes; she felt her spine gradually growing stiff and cold.
Her typing motions, every single one, carried a subtle tremor.
【Where did you get it?】
It was a question with no head or tail, yet the nameless pervert understood.
She first sent a cute sticker of a puppy sticking its tongue out.
【Nameless Pervert: Wuwuwu, I can’t believe my wife still found out. Okay, I admit it, I just bought this underwear myself yesterday. (honest puppy.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: The moment I think about having the same style as my wife, I just had to take a deep sniff. (little face blushing.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: It’s just a pity it doesn’t have my wife’s scent, ying ying ying. I really want to smell one my wife has worn, it must smell so good~】
Seeing this, Yu Jiang let out a small sigh of relief.
She didn’t entirely believe it. Trying to suppress the unsettling feeling in her heart, she scrolled up the chat page to the photo of the bra.
Just as she was about to tap it open, she remembered she was in public view. She turned off the screen again, quickly walked into the cafeteria, and found an empty seat in the most remote corner.
After making sure her actions couldn’t be seen by anyone else, Yu Jiang continued what she was doing.
The photo showed an off-white bra.
She had bought it near the end of last semester.
Or rather, it was Chu Qingzi who paid for it.
She had originally gone with Chu Qingzi to buy bras. She’d forgotten exactly how it all developed, but in the end, it turned into Chu Qingzi picking them out for her.
Yu Jiang couldn’t stand up to the other’s persistent wheedling and had no choice but to pick from the three bras Chu Qingzi had selected, choosing this style embellished with a bow.
Because this bra was so expensive, after Yu Jiang brought it back, she carefully compared it with the others in her wardrobe.
The results of that comparison need no elaboration, but one point was beyond doubt—
She knew this bra so well, she could even recall the direction of the pattern on its surface with perfect clarity.
Now, looking at the photo sent by the nameless pervert, Yu Jiang could determine with a single glance that the one in the picture was identical to the one she had hanging on the balcony.
Yu Jiang’s fingers began to tremble again.
【Did you really buy this yourself?】
The nameless pervert replied almost instantly.
【Nameless Pervert: Wuwuwu, so heartbroken. Don’t tell me you think I’m the kind of pervert who would sneak into your house while you’re not home, wife?】
【Nameless Pervert: Of course not!!!】
【Nameless Pervert: I really just bought the same style of underwear as you, that’s all. You can’t lump me in with that kind of pervert, okay, wife? (pouting puppy.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: Wuwuwu, in order to observe it from every angle without any blind spots, I squatted on the balcony by myself for so many days! (proud.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: Hehe~ Luckily, hard work pays off for those who are determined. I finally succeeded in the end! (dancing puppy.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: (High-definition close-up of the bra 1.jpg) (High-definition close-up of the bra 2.jpg) (High-definition close-up of the bra 3.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: These are the photos I took back then, for my wife to inspect~】
【Nameless Pervert: The camera from brand XX is really good. Something this great, I definitely have to get one for my wife too!】
【Nameless Pervert: I’m placing the order now. It should arrive tomorrow. I’ll just use my wife’s phone number, ‘kay!】
Yu Jiang suddenly understood why some people say that before telling someone bad news, you should first tell them even worse fake news. That way, when they hear the real bad news, their emotions will be much more stable.
Compared to the terrifying situation of “the nameless pervert sneaking into her home without permission,” the fact that “the nameless pervert knew her address and phone number” now seemed to her like a not-so-terrible situation.
Yu Jiang knew this mindset was wrong, but she had to admit that she had indeed let out a complete sigh of relief because of it.
【What will it take for you to leave me alone?】
【Nameless Pervert: When my wife finds me, I won’t pester you like this anymore.】
Find her?
Yu Jiang decided to go to the police station this afternoon.
The thought that in just a few more hours she could drag out the nameless pervert from behind the screen finally lifted the invisible stone that had been pressing on her shoulders.
Her body felt exceptionally light as well.
【Don’t think that just because you said that, I’ll let you off the hook. Once I find your information, I’m still going to expose you on the confession wall!】
【Nameless Pervert: I love my wife’s firm attitude so much. Another day of being captivated by my wife’s exclusive attitude~】
【Nameless Pervert: Then how about a bet, wife? If you can’t find my information, you’ll give me a piece of your unwashed underwear, okay?】
Yu Jiang still had great faith in the policewomen’s ability to catch perverts.
Seeing this, she didn’t think much of it, simply taking the nameless pervert’s reaction as a stubborn attempt to act tough before their evil deeds were exposed.
【I’m going to class now, don’t message me anymore!】
Her words were ignored, but the nameless pervert didn’t seem upset.
She was like an unkillable cockroach, shamelessly sidling up to her again.
【Nameless Pervert: Then I also have something I need my wife to do. As long as you do it properly, I’ll be obedient!】
Yu Jiang naturally wouldn’t agree to any conditions proposed by the nameless pervert.
Before today, her relationship with Chu Qingzi could be described as completely inseparable.
The vast majority of their time was spent face-to-face, and on the rare occasion they needed to get in touch, a simple WeChat message would suffice.
Since leaving the apartment today, Yu Jiang had completely forgotten that they could also contact each other by phone.
Looking at the nameless pervert’s message, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind—
Instead of worrying about whether Chu Qingzi might message me during class, why not just arrange with her beforehand to call me directly if there’s something urgent?
Even if she couldn’t answer the call, they could promptly switch to texting on WeChat.
Yu Jiang no longer hesitated. She immediately tapped on a certain pinned profile picture, and after telling the other person her idea, she could finally put her phone on silent with peace of mind.
The relieved smile on her face had barely lasted a moment when the involuntarily pinned nameless pervert sent a new message, as persistent as a lingering ghost.
【Nameless Pervert: Wife, you wouldn’t want Chu Qingzi to know that you have a crush on her, right?】
