Chapter 40: Forty p2
Just as Grandma Gray had left, Yu Jiang opened WeChat.
【You filthy rat! Get out here!】
【Nameless Pervert: I’m here, wife~ (puppy peeking out.jpg)】
【You’ve touched my WeChat list, haven’t you? A friend of mine was deleted by you, right!】
The nameless pervert was very honest.
【Nameless Pervert: You’re still a smart wife today~ you’re amazing, wife~ you guessed right~】
【Nameless Pervert: [User has transferred 5200 yuan to you]】
【Nameless Pervert: A small reward for my smart wife~】
【Get lost!!!!】
【Nameless Pervert: I won’t, I won’t~ if I have to roll, I have to first borrow a shrinking light from Doraemon, shrink myself, and then roll on you~ (puppy rolling around.jpg)】
The anger that Yu Jiang couldn’t suppress was forcefully extinguished by her disgusting words.
She gave up trying to reason with the other person.
For a damn pervert like her, who had no morals, no shame, and no bottom line, it was not strange for her to do anything.
【Get lost! I feel disgusted just talking to you for one more sentence!】
【Nameless Pervert: Are you done cursing, wife? Then is it my turn?】
Yu Jiang’s eyelid twitched. Every time the nameless pervert was about to issue a malicious task, she would have this terrible physiological reaction.
【Nameless Pervert: I saw you accept that insignificant passerby’s money! I don’t like it! Besides my money, you’re not allowed to use anyone else’s money!】
Yu Jiang subconsciously looked up and scanned her surroundings.
With this method, she naturally couldn’t find out who this perverted, damn rat hidden behind the screen was.
【Nameless Pervert: You’re so cute, wife~ especially when you’re looking for me with your cute, big eyes~ I love it so much~ (puppy woofing.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: I really hope your gaze can always stay on me, just like I’m always looking at you~ (puppy licking.jpg)】
Yu Jiang was immediately so provoked by her words that goosebumps broke out all over her arm.
【Get lost! Sooner or later, I’ll drag you out! You lingering, damn pervert!】
【Nameless Pervert: I’m so looking forward to it~ looking forward to the day we officially meet~】
【Nameless Pervert: Do you want to guess what I’ll do to you when we meet~】
【Get lost! When you’re taken away by a police car, I’ll see if you still dare to be so dishonest!】
【Just you wait to suffer in prison! You disgusting, filthy, damn rat!】
【Nameless Pervert: Curse again next time, wife~ I see that incredibly hateful person is almost back. I can’t let you go hungry~】
【Nameless Pervert: Since that incredibly hateful person is coming back, then you should hurry up and throw away that dirty money just now! (anxious puppy.jpg)】
【Nameless Pervert: How much did that passerby transfer to you?】
【100.】
【Nameless Pervert: [User has transferred 9900 yuan to you]】
【Nameless Pervert: To round it up for you. Donate this dirty money to a charity project!】
【Nameless Pervert: I will never allow you to use anyone else’s money besides mine and our parents’!】
Yu Jiang rolled her eyes.
【Get lost! Don’t call me that. It’s disgusting!】
【According to what you said, then the money she usually spends on me isn’t dirty money?】
【Nameless Pervert: That incredibly hateful person is not within the scope of discussion. It’s her honor to spend money on you! Not only should you spend her money, but you should also spend more!】
【Nameless Pervert: Spend all her money as soon as possible! When she becomes a pauper, then you can fiercely kick her away!】
【Even if she’s poor, you can’t even compare to one of her toes!】
Yu Jiang quickly found a channel and donated the ten thousand yuan.
After donating, she saved the donation receipt and threw the screenshot at her.
【Take this picture and get lost!】
Just as she had replied, Chu Qingzi came back with the clay pot rice.
Yu Jiang adjusted her expression and met her gaze with a smile.
“It smells so good. You’ve worked hard~”
After the National Day holiday, time passed particularly quickly.
In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Day was approaching.
For a homebody like Yu Jiang, every holiday was not very meaningful.
She didn’t go out during the holidays. Compared to feeling the hustle and bustle of a crowd, she would rather stay in her small apartment, watch a movie, and feel the same happiness.
In high school, the ones who celebrated New Year’s with her, besides Yu Mianying and Jiang Chengzhi, were also Chi Jing.
It was not quite accurate to put Chi Jing here, because she was not by Yu Jiang’s side at the moment of the new year.
She would first go to the square with other friends to listen to the countdown, and then ride her little electric scooter to find Yu Jiang, say happy new year to her face to face, exchange gifts, and finally slowly ride home by herself.
After starting university, the one who celebrated New Year’s with Yu Jiang became Chu Qingzi.
The first time they celebrated New Year’s together was in the apartment.
Yu Jiang had bought some decorative materials online a few days in advance. On New Year’s Eve, she took them out and decorated the living room with Chu Qingzi.
When there were five seconds left in the countdown, the two of them would count together.
At the same time as the count reached zero, the timed firework toy would automatically make the sound of a firework exploding, bringing the two of them a sense of ceremony.
This year’s New Year’s arrangements were completely different from last year’s.
This time, the location for the new year was in a villa in the suburbs.
The ones who celebrated New Year’s with Yu Jiang were not just Chu Qingzi, but also other members of the club.
The activity was jointly organized by the president and vice president.
They would be in their fourth year next year and would have to do internships, so it would be difficult to get together with everyone again.
So the two decided to take this opportunity to invite everyone to celebrate New Year’s together.
After announcing the location of the villa in the club group chat, the vice president added two more sentences.
【Senior Wang: For this event, all expenses will be paid for by our great president. This is a girls-only event. Sisters with same-sex partners are welcome to bring their families. Sisters with opposite-sex partners, I’m sorry, you can only attend alone this time.】
【Senior Wang: For this event, we will be using a voluntary registration method. Those who are coming, please reply in the group. Those who are not coming, please also reply. Others can reply with 1, and you can reply with 2. The statistics will be collected until 8 PM tomorrow night. If anyone hasn’t replied, please ask someone who knows them to remind them~】
When Yu Jiang saw the group message, she directly ran to Chu Qingzi’s room and asked her if she planned to go.
Chu Qingzi: “Do you want to go, baby? If you do, then we’ll go.”
Yu Jiang thought for two seconds and nodded.
“Then let’s go. The president and the others are so nice, and they’ve prepared everything. If we don’t go, they’ll probably be quite disappointed.”
Most importantly, for her, the location of the new year was not important. Who she celebrated with was the only important thing.
Yu Jiang’s thoughts were also the thoughts of many people in the club.
Therefore, the final result of the reply was that everyone had replied with 1.
The vice president was very happy and very moved. With a grand wave of her hand, she directly sent a two-hundred-yuan red envelope in the group.
Yu Jiang got a very auspicious number: 13.14.
She took a screenshot, planning to send it to Chi Jing.
Just as she had exited the club group’s chat box, she saw that Chu Qingzi had also suddenly sent her a red envelope.
Yu Jiang had not yet returned to her room. Seeing this, she asked her in person.
“Why did you send me a red envelope?”
Chu Qingzi smiled gently.
“The number you got is very nice. The one I got is also very nice. Today is the last day of this year. I wanted to send a nice blessing to you. I wish you can get what you want in this aspect next year.”
Yu Jiang was confused by her words. She curiously opened it and saw.
The red envelope that Chu Qingzi got was very small, even smaller than hers, but together with hers, it was really nice.
One was 13.14, and the other was not 52.00, but exactly 5.20.
—1314520.
Yu Jiang rushed back to her room with a red face, smothered her face in her blanket to dissipate the heat, and after she had calmed down, she continued the action that had been interrupted just now.
After sending the red envelope screenshot to Chi Jing, she said.
【I also have a gut feeling that tonight might also be an extraordinary day for me.】
Chi Xiaojing sent back the same blessing from that time.
【Chi Xiaojing: Then I wish our Yu Xiaojiang’s dream come true and that she will be confessed to by Chu Qingzi tonight!】
Yu Jiang was first shy, then happy, and finally, her face turned pale.
【Hurry up and retract it, hurry up and retract it!】
Chi Xiaojing knew her “problem.” Without saying anything more, she obediently took back her blessing.
Then she sent three words very helplessly.
【Pei pei pei.】
Capital time, XXXX December 31st, 11 PM.
Everyone sat in a circle, planning to use the most classic game to spend the last hour of this year.
That is, the must-have for gatherings, “Truth or Dare.”
The cards were specially brought by the vice president, just for this moment.
Before they started, she announced the rules of the game for tonight.
It was similar to the regular Truth or Dare. If you failed a dare or directly gave up, you had to accept the punishment of half a can of beer.
You could ask for help, but the person who helped would have to drink a whole can.
The vice president cleared her throat and stated the last rule.
“For the truth session, please be sure to tell the truth. If you’re exposed by a second person, then the sister who told a lie will have to drink two cans of beer alone, and you can’t find someone to substitute. Is everyone clear?”
“Clear!”
“Whoa, two cans. That’s a bit harsh, Vice President~”
“If the question I draw is what color my underwear is today, then do you have to pull down my pants to see if it’s true?”
Everyone present was a girl. Hearing her say this, they all burst out laughing.
Soon, the game began.
The first one to draw the ghost card happened to be the vice president.
“My lucky number is eight, so please, the sister who drew the eight of playing cards, stand up and prepare to draw a card.”
“Oh, I’m seven. So close~”
“What a coincidence, I’m nine. Also so close~”
“Who is the lucky eight~”
Amidst the chattering guesses, Yu Jiang stood up with a pale face.
“It’s me.”
“Puhahaha, Little Jiang, why do you have that expression?”
“I will give you two yuan for free. Be good. Go buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. If you win, you have to give me half.”
The vice president smiled and told everyone to be quiet. She came over with the cards and asked her to pick one at random.
Yu Jiang directly took the first one on the far left. After flipping it over, the first thing that came into view were three pink Chinese characters—”Truth.”
The vice president looked at the card and asked her, “Then shall I read it for you?”
“Okay.”
The vice president raised her voice and read out the first truth question of the night.
“May I ask, little sister Jiang, do you have someone you like right now?”
Yu Jiang had already seen the question. After she had asked, she answered with a normal expression.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have anyone I like.”
As soon as she said this, everyone was in an uproar.
“Little Jiang, you have to think carefully. If you lie, you’ll have to be punished with two cans of beer later.”
Yu Jiang was not nervous at all and replied frankly.
“Senior Yao, I’m not lying. I really don’t have anyone I like right now.”
The girl who had mentioned underwear just now became excited.
“Quick! It’s my most anticipated exposing session. Is there anyone who knows the truth? Quick, stand up and let’s see if our dear Little Jiang is telling the truth or not!”
After she finished speaking, everyone’s gaze tacitly moved to Chu Qingzi’s position.
Everyone knew how close their relationship was. Whether Yu Jiang was lying or not, the answer was clearly only known to Chu Qingzi.
“Little sister Qingzi, Little Jiang says she doesn’t have anyone she likes. Is that true?”
Yu Jiang also looked down at her.
For the first time, Chu Qingzi did not meet her gaze. She looked straight ahead as if she didn’t know, her gentle voice accompanied by stiffness.
“Yes, she doesn’t have anyone she likes.”
The car stopped in front of a 24-hour convenience store.
Chu Qingzi unbuckled her seatbelt. “Baby, I’m going down to buy something. I’ll be right back. You can wait for me in the car.”
“Okay.”
After the car door was closed, Yu Jiang, who was looking straight ahead, dared to cautiously turn her head and look at her departing back.
Is it my imagination?
It feels like ever since she answered that question about “secret crush,” the atmospheric pressure around Chu Qingzi has started to get a little low.
Her phone rang. It was Chi Jing.
【Chi Xiaojing: Happy New Year! I’m sorry, I was busy just now. I just saw your message.】
Yu Jiang had reason to suspect that her “busy” was a different kind of “busy.”
【It’s okay. I just wanted to say happy new year to you. Since you’re busy, you can just do your own thing.】
【Chi Xiaojing: Okay. If you have any news tonight, remember to let me know in time.】
【Chi Xiaojing: Although I might not be able to see it and reply to you in a second, I want to be the first one you notify with good news!】
Yu Jiang chuckled.
【Okay, I know. Don’t worry.】
While they were chatting, Chu Qingzi came back with a shopping bag.
Seeing her about to put the bag under the seat, Yu Jiang held out her hand and gestured for her to give it to her.
“Just put it on my lap. We’re almost home anyway.”
Chu Qingzi did not refuse, handed her the shopping bag, and quickly started the car.
Yu Jiang lowered her gaze, opened the bag, and was instantly shocked.
“Why did you buy so much beer all of a sudden?”
Chu Qingzi: “I’m not in a good mood tonight.”
Yu Jiang had already felt that her mood was not right just now and was just thinking of talking to her after they got home. She had not expected her to take the initiative to confide at this time and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Qingzi: “It’s nothing. It should be fine after tonight.”
Tonight?
Yu Jiang looked down at the beer cans in the bag again and asked with certainty, “Are you trying to drown your sorrows in alcohol?”
“Not me.”
The traffic light at the intersection ahead happened to turn red. Chu Qingzi stopped the car and took this opportunity to turn her head to look at Yu Jiang.
“Us.”
Her voice was gentle to the point of being a little suppressed.
Hearing this, Yu Jiang’s heart tightened.
She, who had never touched a drop of alcohol before, still could not escape the temptation of the beauty trap. Facing those slightly pleading eyes, she finally relented and said timidly.
“Th-then I can only drink a little.”
Yu Jiang wanted to take a shower before drinking.
She was stopped by Chu Qingzi, who asked her sharply.
“Baby, I’m not planning to get drunk tonight, just have a drink or two. Are you planning to get drunk?”
Yu Jiang quickly shook her head. “I said it in the car just now. I can also only drink a little.”
In their family of three, the only one who could drink was Yu Mianying.
Yu Mianying’s alcohol tolerance was very good. In all these years, she had never been drunk once.
Jiang Chengzhi had only drunk once at his wedding. From Yu Mianying, she learned that Jiang Chengzhi’s alcohol tolerance was also quite good. She didn’t know his limit, but at least after a round of toasts to all the guests that day, he was still sober.
Yu Jiang thought, since both of them had a good alcohol tolerance, then as their daughter, her alcohol tolerance should also not be too bad—drinking a whole can without changing her expression should be no problem.
Just in case, she still conservatively decided to only drink half a can. If she got drunk and also “spilled the beans after drinking” like Chi Xiaojing, then she would really be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiang emphasized, “I’m only drinking half a can. You’re not allowed to make me drink anymore.”
Chu Qingzi smiled indulgently. “Okay, whatever you say, baby. Since we’re not planning to get drunk, then isn’t it better to wash up after we’ve had a drink?”
Yu Jiang thought about it and agreed. If she showered and then drank, she might still smell of alcohol.
With their opinions aligned, they officially started drinking.
Yu Xiaojiang, who was extremely confident in her own alcohol tolerance, in the end, let alone half a can, she hadn’t even finished a quarter of a can before she was completely drunk.
Chu Qingzi’s alcohol tolerance before she died was indeed, as she had once told Yu Jiang, at most only six cans.
After she died and returned to this world, alcohol naturally could not affect her.
Yu Jiang was different.
She was not a liar. She was really drunk.
The drunken Yu Jiang was particularly well-behaved and also easier to coax and deceive than when she was sober.
Chu Qingzi said she would take her to take a shower.
She instinctively felt shy in front of the person she liked. After understanding the meaning, she shook her head with a shy face.
“No, I want to wash myself.”
Chu Qingzi coaxed her in a soft and gentle voice.
“I usually wash you, baby. Have you forgotten?”
The drunken Little Jiang couldn’t remember the usual things, her large eyes full of confusion. “Is that so?”
Chu Qingzi: “Do you still remember me?”
The drunken Little Jiang: “I remember. You’re Qingzi!”
Chu Qingzi: “Am I a good person?”
The drunken Little Jiang nodded very hard. “You’re a good person. You’re a very, very gentle person.”
Chu Qingzi: “Then since I’m so good, I definitely won’t lie to you, right?”
The drunken Little Jiang: “Right.”
Chu Qingzi: “Then what I said just now, that I usually help you shower, is that also right?”
The drunken Little Jiang: “Um… yes.”
Chu Qingzi: “Since I usually help you shower, then today, should I also help you shower?”
Ten seconds later.
The drunken Little Jiang: “Then I’ll have to trouble you. Thank you for helping me shower.”
Half an hour later, Yu Jiang, who had been washed exceptionally clean, was placed on her own bedroom bed by Chu Qingzi.
“Then I’ll go take a shower first. You be good and wait for me here. Don’t go anywhere, okay?”
“Okay.”
When Chu Qingzi came back after her shower, she saw Yu Jiang nestled quietly in bed, and her already soft heart melted into a puddle.
She went to the balcony, took the thing out of her pants pocket, and went back to the bedroom.
When the footsteps stopped by the bed, Yu Jiang, a little dazed, slightly raised her head and looked at the person who had come.
Chu Qingzi still couldn’t hold it in and leaned over to place a kiss as light as a dragonfly touching water on the corner of her lips.
The drunken Yu Jiang did not know how to refuse. Even if she was taken advantage of, she would only blush shyly.
The purpose of Chu Qingzi getting her drunk was not this.
She also got on the bed, sat face to face with Yu Jiang, and while unwrapping the cards she had specially borrowed, she asked gently, “Baby, the two of us, shall we play another round of ‘Truth or Dare’ alone, okay?”
