Chapter 60: Post-Marriage “What If” Extra 10-4
The next morning.
Yu Jiang, who had always woken up naturally on time, was woken up half an hour early by Chu Qingzi.
Her sleepiness had not yet completely disappeared. She was carried into the bathroom with sleepy eyes.
Chu Qingzi handed her the prepared toothpaste. The moment she took it, Yu Jiang was instantly clear-headed.
She was so surprised her voice was a little high-pitched. “Are you going to show me your special ability?”
“Not yet, but I have something else I want to do now. Is that okay, wife?”
Yu Jiang was so scared of being bullied by her that her first reaction was to refuse.
“No, your mind is full of spring medicine, isn’t it?! How can you think of these messy things first thing in the morning!”
Yu Jiang didn’t know what time it was now.
She trusted her biological clock very much. Since she wasn’t woken up by it today, it meant—
“You woke me up early just to do these things? Are you even human!”
Thinking of this person’s true identity, she complained again, “Oh, you’re not human. You woke me up early just to do these things? Are you even a ghost!”
Chu Qingzi felt she was more wronged than Dou E. “Wife, I haven’t said anything yet. You can’t just put such a big blame on me just because I haven’t been performing well.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Promise me first~ I promise, it’s definitely not eating the little cat or playing with the little cat. To give you a hint, it’s related to makeup.”
Yu Jiang hardly ever wore makeup. The last time she had, it was on her wedding day.
“Don’t tell me you want me to go out with makeup on?”
Chu Qingzi refused to confess. She was both coquettish and pitiful, forcing Yu Jiang to completely lose her temper.
She was helpless and, for confirmation, asked one last time.
“You’re really not going to play with the little cat?”
“Really! I’m not a teddy bear. How could I possibly want to do this kind of thing first thing in the morning?”
Yu Jiang let out a “hehe” in her heart. You and a teddy bear are two of a kind. Don’t look down on it.
“Alright then, I promise you. So what do you want to do?”
“I want you to help me put on lipstick.”
Yu Jiang had thought she was holding in a big one, but she hadn’t expected it to be a big one.
While she was relieved, she also really didn’t understand. “Just for this? if you need it, I can even do your full makeup. As long as you’re not afraid I’ll do it too badly.”
Chu Qingzi smiled with a deep meaning. “That would be too tiring for you. So just helping me put on lipstick is enough. Then I’ll go back to my bedroom and do the rest first~”
“Yes.”
Yu Jiang went back to her room and looked at her phone, and was shocked by the number displayed on it.
“It’s just putting on lipstick. You don’t have to wake me up half an hour early, right?”
Chu Qingzi had her own explanation. “I was worried that it would take you a long time since it’s your first time helping me, and then you would be late for work.”
Yu Jiang felt there was nothing too wrong with this thought.
“Then I’ll look at my phone for a while. Call me when you’re ready.”
“Okay~”
A moment later.
Chu Qingzi had finished most of her makeup, with only the last part left.
“Wife, it’s okay now~”
Yu Jiang walked to her side. Seeing that the prepared lipstick was on the table, she raised her hand to get it.
Halfway there, she was stopped by Chu Qingzi.
“Wife, that’s not how you apply it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lipstick and pushed the confused Yu Jiang onto the bed.
Before taking off her pajama pants, Chu Qingzi emphasized with great self-awareness.
“Wife, you know me very well, right? I’m a perverted ghost with a bit of a simple wicked taste.”
Yu Jiang corrected her, “It’s not a simple wicked taste, it’s a lewd wicked taste.”
Sensing that her hands were in a place they shouldn’t be, Yu Jiang began to panic.
“What perverted thoughts do you have again?!!”
Chu Qingzi didn’t let her escape. After she had caught her, she smiled at her gently.
“You’ve already promised me just now. You’re a good child and won’t lie, right?”
“Pfft, I’m not. I’m taking back what I just said. Get lost!”
“Wife~ please. It’s just helping me put on lipstick. It’ll be quick~”
Yu Jiang was completely suppressed by her and couldn’t escape for the time being.
After struggling to no avail, she could only ask her, “So how do you want to apply it?”
Chu Qingzi: “I want you to use your little cat to help me apply it.”
Yu Jiang: ???
She instantly clamped her legs and turned over, for fear that if she was a moment too late, the little cat would fall into the pervert’s clutches.
“Get lost! Did you spend your nine years of compulsory education specially learning this kind of perverted thing! How can your mind be full of such lewd things all day long!”
The scene of being bullied by the makeup sponge was still fresh in her mind. Yu Jiang would never agree again.
“Don’t even think about it! Get lost! I will never put anything in the little cat’s mouth again!”
Chu Qingzi asked in passing, “Then can’t it eat my fingers either?”
Yu Jiang took the opportunity to curse at her, “Are you a thing? You’re not a thing!”
Chu Qingzi: “…”
Yu Jiang: “Get lost. I’m going to change my clothes. You can apply it yourself!”
Chu Qingzi began to act spoiled. “You’ve misunderstood me~ I really don’t want to stuff it into the little cat’s mouth~”
She explained in a soft voice, “I just want to draw a lip print on the little cat’s face first, and then I’ll press my mouth against it and transfer the lipstick to my own mouth.”
Yu Jiang’s imagination was very rich. After hearing what she said, the corresponding picture appeared in her mind.
So, her expression became even more twisted.
The way you’re talking about applying lipstick is not much better than what I said!!!
“I’ll just try to print it once~ if it doesn’t work, then forget it. Please, okay, wife~”
She took advantage of the fact that Yu Jiang was easy to bully and skillfully put on a pitiful posture that was hard for her to refuse.
“I wanted to do this when we first got married, but I’ve endured it until today to finally be able to ask you. Good wife~ just for the sake of me enduring for so long, agree to it this once~ okay?”
Soft-heartedness was Yu Jiang’s biggest weakness.
She couldn’t cure it, and this time, she had fallen for it again.
Yu Jiang, who had lain back on the bed, covered her face with both hands.
She felt so ashamed that even her snowy neck was covered with a layer of begonia color.
“Just… just try once. If you can’t get the color on, then get lost immediately!”
Chu Qingzi: “Okay! Whatever you say, wife!”
The little pink cat, which had been hiding in the darkness for several hours, was once again released.
Chu Qingzi stared at this likable little thing for more than ten seconds before she, at Yu Jiang’s urging, patiently began to put makeup on it.
When the cool lipstick was applied to the little cat’s lip seam, a cool and itchy feeling arose.
The little cat didn’t last for long before it got nervous and started to sweat.
“Wife, the little cat is too sensitive. Its mouth is all wet from the sweat. Can I help it lick it off?”
Yu Jiang trembled, “Get lost! Get a tissue!”
Chu Qingzi didn’t dare to disobey her and had to get up, dejected, get a tissue, and wipe the corner of the little cat’s mouth clean.
Then, she continued to apply lipstick for it.
After the beautiful lip print was drawn, Chu Qingzi found the right angle and, with her own unadorned thin lips, pressed on it with force.
Yu Jiang’s leg soured, and the little cat directly cried out.
Yu Jiang was also crying, her whimpering voice both delicate and soft.
“I told you it wouldn’t work… bastard… in the future, don’t… don’t do it again… use… use a tissue… mmm… you’re licking again… don’t, wuwu…”
Chu Qingzi’s lipstick plan ended in failure.
Yu Jiang, who had been bullied first thing in the morning, refused to take her car to work.
For a rare moment, Chu Qingzi did not insist, but obediently followed behind her and entered the subway station together.
Not long after the two of them had sat down, Chu Qingzi began to lean close to Yu Jiang’s head, clearly wanting to talk to her.
Yu Jiang was not yet calm and did not want to pay attention to her.
It wasn’t until she heard Chu Qingzi’s words that her temper instantly disappeared.
“Wife, didn’t you want to see my special ability? I can perform it now. Do you want to see?”
Yu Jiang’s interest was piqued. “Yes!”
Chu Qingzi was already prepared.
After getting her answer, she took out a disposable mask that she had specially brought with her from her pocket.
Yu Jiang was confused.
While putting it on for her, Chu Qingzi explained, “You might make a sound later. If you wear a mask, you can muffle the sound a little.”
Yu Jiang’s attention was all drawn away by the upcoming ability performance. For a moment, she forgot how terrible this person was.
Hearing her say this, she simply thought that when she said “make a sound,” she meant that the upcoming performance would be very exciting. Since everyone couldn’t see it, she was afraid that she would make a sound out of surprise and attract the discussion of others.
Chu Qingzi lowered her shoulders slightly and gestured for Yu Jiang to lean on her.
Yu Jiang still didn’t understand, but she did as she was told.
“Are you ready, wife?”
Yu Jiang nodded with undisguised excitement.
Just as her head had nodded, her pink lips, which were hidden in the mask, were instantly bitten.
Mmm…
What is this…
How can there be wind blowing at the little cat…
Chu Qingzi took out her phone and shared her screen with her.
Her fingers moved quickly, and in the chat box, she typed a string of terrible words.
【Do you feel it, wife?】
【This is my special ability.】
【I can control the wind and make it into any shape.】
【Because the mind wind is equivalent to my will, whatever it can feel, I can also feel.】
【Are you so nervous? The little cat is clamped so tightly.】
【Mimi is also so perky. Is it because we’re outside? I feel that today’s Mimi is particularly soft and delicious.】
【Don’t worry, wife. No matter how excited the little cat cries, the wind will wrap all its tears.】
【Later, I’ll take the ball of wind wrapped in sweet water back to the office and eat them all up for you.】
【It seems you’re about to cry out. Then I’ll let the ball of wind block your mouth. Don’t be nervous. It’s very gentle.】
【You’re so sensitive today. In such a short time, you’ve actually lost it twice.】
【I’m so hungry. I really want to eat now. When we get to the station later, I’ll help you to the restroom at the station to rest for a while, okay?】
【If you don’t speak, then I’ll take it as a tacit agreement~】
【Thank you, wife~ I’ll eat well~】
More than ten minutes later, in the subway restroom.
Yu Jiang, with a flushed face and dazed eyes, was pressed against the cubicle door by a transparent ball of wind.
She was not the only one in the cubicle. There was also Chu Qingzi, who was squatting in front of her, constantly eating the little cat.
Yu Jiang did not know how many times she had lost it, only knowing that in the end, she was sitting in Chu Qingzi’s arms, resting for nearly twenty minutes before her sore and weak body regained its strength.
This was the earliest workday that Yu Jiang had ever had since she started working.
It was also the first time in all the time she had maintained perfect attendance that she had been forced to ask for leave.
Fortunately, the company had three days of unexpected leave that could be taken each month. Otherwise, Yu Jiang would have definitely beaten this person up.
//
The twenty-eighth of this month.
It was the one-month anniversary of their marriage.
Yu Jiang took her annual leave and took a plane to the north with Chu Qingzi.
They spent a relaxed and happy week.
The night before they went home, the weather forecast had clearly said it would not snow tonight.
But just as the two were about to fall asleep, a vast expanse of snow quietly fell.
Yu Jiang quickly put on her coat and pulled Chu Qingzi downstairs to build a snowman.
She played for a long time and finally successfully made two nondescript things.
The two ugly and cute things were named “Little Yu Jiang” and “Little Chu Qing” by her.
Yu Jiang told Chu Qingzi to stand guard here to prevent any naughty children from coming over and kicking them down.
She herself ran into the B&B. After a short while, the B&B owner, who was holding a Polaroid camera, was invited out by her.
She pulled Chu Qingzi into a pose. Just as she was about to grin at the camera, a warmth suddenly fell on her cheek—
Click, the picture was frozen.
Yu Jiang took the picture from the owner with a word of thanks. Looking at the picture of Chu Qingzi gently kissing her on the cheek, her heart was moved.
The next second, she stood on her tiptoes slightly and, in front of everyone, took the initiative to kiss her.
The crystal clear, white snowflakes fell on their heads, piece by piece.
From a distance, it was as if it were interpreting a beautiful fairy tale of growing old together.
