Chapter 30: Thirty p3
Chu Qingzi rolled up her sleeves and began to wash the spoons and chopsticks they had used.
Yu Jiang came to her side, stared at her fair, slender hands for half a minute, and blurted out.
“Did you also do all the housework yourself before university?”
They had been living together for so long, and the only chore Yu Jiang had ever done was putting away the clothes.
When they first moved into the apartment, she had planned to split the chores with Chu Qingzi.
But that was rejected by Chu Qingzi on the very same day.
Her reasoning was that she liked doing housework, so all the chores in the apartment could just be left to her.
At the time, Yu Jiang found her words somewhat absurd.
How could anyone possibly like doing housework?
But back then, her relationship with Chu Qing-zi wasn’t as close as it was now. Although she didn’t say it, there was still a sense of distance in her heart.
Plus, the apartment was rented by the other party, and she hadn’t spent a single cent on that expense.
She felt she had no right to voice any opinions on the major or minor affairs of the household.
Therefore, the distribution of chores was left entirely to Chu Qing-zi.
Later, when their relationship had progressed and Yu Jiang could offer her opinions, she discussed it with her again.
In the end, she was given the task of putting away the clothes.
As for washing dishes, sweeping, cleaning, and the like, Chu Qingzi still took them all on.
Yu Jiang hadn’t thought about this issue for a long time. Being reminded by the nameless pervert today, she started to struggle with it again.
Hearing her question, Chu Qingzi answered truthfully, “We have a housekeeper at home. I don’t need to do these things.”
Yu Jiang had an “I knew it” expression. “Then why did you say at the beginning that you’ve liked doing housework since you were a child?”
After washing the dishes, Chu Qingzi led Yu Jiang to the living room.
She explained, “Liking something since you were a child and only being able to actually do it when you’ve grown up are not contradictory, right, baby?”
Yu Jiang: “…”
What strange, yet seemingly flawless logic!
Chu Qingzi pushed her down onto the sofa and ended the topic with one final sentence.
“If I really didn’t like it, then why wouldn’t I just hire a housekeeper to do these things for us? Am I right, baby?”
Yu Jiang instantly stopped struggling with it.
Indeed.
For the rich, problems that could be solved directly with money were not problems at all.
If Chu Qingzi really didn’t like it, she would definitely have hired a housekeeper.
She sighed, “You’re probably the only person I know who likes doing housework.”
Chu Qingzi smiled and returned her own words to her, “As you said, baby, the world is vast and full of wonders.”
With the question resolved, Yu Jiang got up decisively.
“I was originally planning to see a doctor this afternoon, but I’ve thought about it and decided against it. I’m a little sleepy after eating. I’m going back to take a nap. If you want to watch TV, you can watch it here. Good afternoon.”
“Baby, it’s not ‘good afternoon’ yet.”
Yu Jiang: …
Chu Qingzi got up with her. “I’m not sleepy yet. If you’re going back to your room, I’ll go with you.”
She had always been the Chu Qingzi who, as long as conditions permitted, had to stay in the same space as Yu Jiang.
“When we get to the room, then we’ll say ‘good afternoon’.”
It was soon bedtime.
Yu Jiang, who had just finished her shower, began to look at the bra and panties in the basin with a headache.
What is all this!
That damn, damn pervert!
The tasks she assigned were getting more perverted by the day!
When she was finally caught during the New Year, she would definitely make her pay!!!
Resigned to her fate, Yu Jiang pushed open Chu Qingzi’s door, empty-handed.
From half a room away, her eyes met Chu Qingzi’s. She told her with a blank expression.
“That psycho has another mission.”
Chu Qingzi was a perfect mission partner.
Hearing that the perverted superior had issued a new mission directive, she accepted the result very calmly.
“So this time, what does she want you and me to do?”
Yu Jiang’s ears suddenly turned red.
On second thought, Chu Qingzi had taken the initiative to mention it at noon.
Then what is she being shy about here!
So she successfully calmed herself down and told her, word by word.
“She wants you to wash my bra and panties for me.”
Realizing she might not have expressed it completely, Yu Jiang added.
“By hand.”
At the mention of hands, Yu Jiang subconsciously looked at Chu Qingzi’s well-defined, jade-like hands.
She had always known Chu Qingzi’s hands were beautiful, but before this, she had rarely made a point of looking at them.
Now, staring at them, what came to mind was not something else, but a post that had once appeared on the forum and been deleted by the administrator.
It was posted by someone on the forum when they were freshmen.
Yu Jiang didn’t use the forum anymore, but back then, at the start of the semester, she wanted to learn more about the school, so she had specifically downloaded the school forum’s dedicated app.
At that time, she was attracted by a post that was clearly grammatically incorrect but had a particularly high number of replies, and she couldn’t help but click on it.
Because the error in the post’s title was so obvious, Yu Jiang still remembered what it was called to this day—
“Who is this freshman in military training? I feel like her hands are so long they could buckle me to death in three seconds!!!”
The main post had only one picture, which was a side profile of Chu Qingzi.
And the replies below were also very strange, almost all of them related to the word “buckle.”
To this day, Yu Jiang still didn’t know what long hands had to do with the word “buckle.”
Are people with long hands more stingy?
Wouldn’t that be a typo then?
“What are you thinking about, baby?”
Chu Qingzi, who had already walked up to her, saw that she was clearly in a daze and called out to her.
Yu Jiang pulled her thoughts back, took one last look at her long, slender hands, and shook her head.
“It’s nothing. Did you bring your phone? She wants me to film a video for her. Mine is charging, so let’s just use yours.”
A moment later, in the bathroom.
Yu Jiang held the phone and began to record the process of Chu Qingzi washing clothes by hand for the first time.
Seeing her meticulous movements, rubbing almost every spot, she couldn’t help but fall into reminiscence.
“I’ve told you before, right? My parents are very good to me. Just like you, they’ve never made me do housework.”
Chu Qingzi hummed in acknowledgment, indicating that she was listening.
“I was a day student in elementary and middle school. My high school was too far from home, so it wasn’t convenient to commute. So I boarded.
“In the third year of high school, we had big and small weeks. My dad happened to be teaching a third-year class at another school at that time. As a homeroom teacher, he was also quite busy on weekends, so it was always my mom who came to see me alone.”
“If I remember correctly, it should have been after the first monthly exam. The school didn’t give us a holiday then. In the evening, the homeroom teacher was arranged to supervise our evening self-study, and during the day, we were allowed to move freely on campus.
“That day, my mom came to see me. Just as we got back to the dorm, I found out my period had come early.
“At that time, she was also like this, very gently scrubbing my panties for me in the bathroom.
“Qingzi, seeing you like this, it’s like I’m seeing my mom.”
Chu Qingzi, who had listened to her long preamble and never expected to become a mother so painlessly: “…”
Baby, I went through all this trouble to get you to ask me to wash your panties, not to hear you call me your mom.
Yu Jiang’s period always ended on the fifth day.
During this time, she would drink at least one cup of brown sugar water every day.
On the second day of her period, the two of them only had one class in the morning.
Chu Qingzi, who was in charge of making her brown sugar water, only took one individual packet of brown sugar when they left.
In addition, she also put a disposable straw for stirring and a disposable cup for the brown sugar water into her bag.
Yu Jiang remembered that terrifying group photo of the cups and quickly stopped her.
“Didn’t I win a thermos in a lucky draw last time? It’s a waste to just leave it there. Let’s just use it from now on.”
Chu Qingzi didn’t ask anything, but obediently took out the disposable cup.
“Okay.”
On the way back to the complex after class, Yu Jiang received a new message from the nameless pervert.
【Nameless Pervert: Wife, I didn’t mean to break my promise! But! Why did you bring a thermos yourself today, wuwuwu.】
Faced with her breach of promise, Yu Jiang, for a rare moment, was not angry.
【[User has transferred 0.01 yuan to you]】
【If you want to collect disposable cups, go buy them yourself! You disgusting, lewd, filthy rat!】
Five days passed in a flash.
Yu Jiang, whose period had ended, washed her hair clean.
She came out with her hair wrapped in a dry towel and went back to her room to blow-dry her hair.
Not two seconds after the bathroom light was turned off, it was turned on again.
Amidst the lingering steam, a pair of well-defined hands pushed aside the top layer of shirts and pulled out the light blue striped panties that were pressed underneath.
The beautiful, fair hand pinched it and brought it up, finally bringing it to that high-bridged nose…
Today, her baby’s period had ended.
So she had not broken her promise.
