Chapter 60:
Half an hour passed, and Qi Fu was still frozen in the distance.
She looked up at Li An, then down at the floor, up at Li An, then down at the floor, up at Li An, and then down…
I can’t look anymore!
Qi Fu slapped her thigh, stood up abruptly, and shouted, “Give me two more pieces of evidence, and I’ll believe you!”
Li An couldn’t be bothered with her and squatted on the floor, picking through the petals.
The rose wall from before had been brought into the house. The withered or damaged ones were discarded, and even the petals on the edges were thrown away. Only the most tender few petals were kept from each flower. Even so, it still filled a large basin.
Qi Fu stared at her for a long time, half-believing, half-doubting. In the end, she had no choice but to believe. She walked over to her and squatted down.
Li An naturally moved the basin between the two of them and then stuffed a rose into Qi Fu’s hand, instructing, “Don’t take the old, ugly, or bad ones.”
Qi Fu said “oh” and subconsciously pulled off a petal, muttering, “Are you really Li An?”
“Fake. I’m Ji An An,” the person beside her rolled her eyes, then looked into the basin, threw out the petal that Qi Fu had just put in, and said with disdain, “It’s too old.”
Qi Fu twirled the flower stem and retorted unwillingly, “Where is it old? It’s quite fresh.”
She added, “Do you know how expensive fresh roses are now? This pile is enough to buy a ten-carat piece of jewelry.”
Li An glanced at her sideways and replied, “Then why did you buy so many?”
“That, that was to seduce you!” Qi Fu was so angry she couldn’t speak.
Li An couldn’t help but roll her eyes again and complained, “Serves you right for guessing wildly.”
“Who told you not to tell me in advance?”
The previous misunderstanding didn’t need much explanation. After the two had revealed their identities, a turn of their minds had cleared up most of it. They hadn’t expected such a misunderstanding to occur, and both of them were speechless.
Li An glared at her and said, “It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t said that that night, I wouldn’t have misunderstood like this.”
Qi Fu also glared at her and retorted unwillingly, “The main reason is you. You didn’t tell me in advance.”
“Don’t take that petal either. Do you even know how to do this?” Li An glanced at her, said quickly, and then retorted, “How would I know you didn’t know? I thought it was quite obvious.”
Qi Fu was so angry she couldn’t speak and bumped the person beside her with her knee.
Li An blocked her with her knee, and the two of them bumped each other hard. She shouted, “What are you doing, what are you doing? Why are you hitting people?”
“I didn’t use any force. You were the one who used force first,” Qi Fu threw out the previous petal, then threw in a fresh one, and then quickly pulled her down, “Look at you. What’s the use of picking for so long? That one is even older than mine.”
“You were the one who moved your leg first. I was resisting,” Li An subconsciously looked into the basin and said with a huff, “That’s the one you just threw in.”
“I was just angry and bumped you lightly,” Qi Fu was not convinced, and then she pointed at the petal and said, “It’s on your side. How could I have thrown it over?”
Li An resolutely refused to admit it and shouted, “It was you!”
Qi Fu shouted, “You’re being unreasonable!”
Li An retorted, “You’re the one who’s making false accusations!”
Their knees were pressed together, and their shoulders and arms were also bumped together. It was just that their heads were not bumped together, otherwise it would have been exactly like a bullfight.
Qi Fu gritted her teeth and refused to back down, pressing hard against Li An.
Li An bumped her with her shoulder, also refusing to give in.
The two of them fought for a long time, and in the end, they didn’t come to a conclusion. It was unclear when they had reached a tacit understanding, but they both sat down on the floor.
Li An turned her back to her, “Hmph!”
Qi Fu crossed her arms over her chest, “Hmph!”
“You’re childish!” Li An said with disdain.
“You’re the most childish!” Qi Fu retorted.
Li An tilted her head and glared at her, and Qi Fu glared back, not to be outdone.
They had been at it for a long time. In the end, it was Li An who picked up a petal first, and Qi Fu also picked one up, and they started their great cause of picking petals again.
“Remember to tell me in advance next time,” Qi Fu said sullenly.
“I know, I know. I just didn’t know how to say it,” Li An was neither righteous nor confident.
“Then are we still friends?” Qi Fu looked at her.
“Good friends,” Li An bumped her with her shoulder.
Only then did Qi Fu smile, and she praised cheerfully, “You look quite good as a person.”
As for the reason, Qi Fu didn’t want to ask. Everyone had their own secrets. Even if Li An chose to hide it, she could understand. Not to mention, Li An had not deliberately hidden it from her.
Just like in the laboratory, the other could have been concerned about being exposed and had chosen to ignore it, but the little octopus had still extended her tentacle and saved her life.
For example, now, Li An could have hidden her identity but had told her frankly.
These were already enough. There was no need to go into the details.
She also bumped Li An with her shoulder and repeated, “Good friends.”
Li An hummed, did not respond, and just lowered her head to pick flowers.
After confirming this, Qi Fu’s mood instantly brightened, and she asked cheerfully, “What are you picking this for?”
After picking for a long time, she finally remembered to ask this.
Li An didn’t think anything was wrong and said frankly, “Ji Yulin is angry. I want to prepare a rose bath to coax her.”
Qi Fu had no intention of taking them back. The roses were useless to her anyway. Since she had given them to Li An, it was all up to her to deal with them. Hearing this, she first looked at the cake on the table, and then said, “The professor is angry, and she still remembers to buy you a cake?”
“I’ve already been punished once. She said she’s going to settle the score with me tonight,” Li An mumbled, not daring to tell her the whole reason.
“Tsk, what did you do to make Professor Ji so angry?” Qi Fu threw away a rose with a wormhole, feeling that the two of them were like kitchen staff picking vegetables, working and gossiping about their families at the same time.
“It’s not really a mistake…” Li An’s voice was weak, and then her tone changed, and she said, “Do you know how to coax people?”
Qi Fu was stunned for a moment, pointed at herself, and said with surprise, “Are you asking me?”
Li An: “…Forget it. I’ll think about it myself.”
She didn’t know if she had asked, but Li An had really given up on her. Qi Fu was not willing to give up. Her eyes darted around, and then they landed on the box of cake. Her eyes lit up, and she shouted, “I have it! Isn’t the professor’s hint quite obvious? You stupid head.”
Li An’s face was full of confusion, and she replied, “What, what hint?”
“The thing has already been delivered, and you still don’t get it. You’re a hopeless case,” Qi Fu shook her head and nudged the cake with her chin.
Li An glanced at it and said nonchalantly, “If you want to eat it, then eat it.”
Qi Fu was so angry that she slapped her thigh and shouted, “I’m telling you to use this to coax Ji Yulin.”
Li An was stunned for a moment and looked at her blankly.
Qi Fu sighed and said with satisfaction, “How can you be so stupid? Come here quickly and let me explain it to you in detail!”
Li An pouted but couldn’t help but lean over. The more she listened, the more exciting it became. Her expression changed again and again, and she stuttered, “Are you sure this will work?”
“Just trust me. It’ll definitely work.”
It was night. The evening wind blew away the noise, and the mist remained. No one knew when it would disperse, but fortunately, nothing unusual had happened, and the Thirteenth District was still peaceful.
The door hinges creaked, and Ji Yulin, who had finally returned, hurried in. But when she saw the scene before her, her footsteps came to a halt.
Following her gaze.
A pink-haired girl was kneeling in front of the door, with white cat ears on her head, and a black and white lace maid outfit on her body. She was holding a cake in both hands, and a pair of azure eyes were revealed, looking at Ji Yulin pitifully.
“Master, master,” Li An was obviously a little uncomfortable. Her knees, which were on the floor, lifted, and she pulled at the hem of her skirt, which had ridden up because of her posture.
Ji Yulin was stunned for a moment and did not react at first.
And Li An thought she was still angry. The hand holding the plate trembled, and her knees moved forward a little. After getting closer to Ji Yulin, she looked up at her.
Her eyelids fluttered, and her azure eyes were even wetter and softer. Her beautiful face still had a youthful tenderness, and only in her gestures did a hint of gentle charm appear.
The dress she was wearing was not revealing. It had half-sleeves and a puffy skirt, the most proper kind. Only at her waist was there a hint of a clue. Her thin, soft waist was outlined to be even thinner, and it trembled with her breathing.
And from her previous anxious movements, the hem of her skirt, which she had just pulled down, had ridden up again, revealing a section of her fair skin, and her knees, which had been kneeling for a long time, were slightly red.
Before Ji Yulin could react, she subconsciously extended her foot.
The creature immediately climbed up the pole and knelt on her shoe.
“It hurts,” Li An complained in a drawn-out tone. Her cat-eared head rubbed against Ji Yulin’s leg, making a tinkling sound. Only then did she realize that there was a silver bell on her neck.
Ji Yulin’s gaze darkened, and her red lips ground together a few times, but she said, “Who taught you this?”
With the spoiled temper she had raised Li An with, how could she have thought of these things?
She was also worried that Li An would be angry in the afternoon and had specially had someone send a cake.
Ji Yulin glanced at the familiar cake.
It was originally for her to coax Li An, but now it had become Li An’s gift to coax her.
The person still didn’t understand. Her gaze darted around guiltily, and she said in a small voice, “You don’t like it?”
Ji Yulin did not answer at first. She leaned against the door and took out a wet wipe from her bag to wipe her hands.
Li An thought she was not satisfied with her answer and said sullenly, “Qi Fu taught me. She said you wouldn’t be angry this way.”
Before she was even interrogated, she had immediately sold out her good friend.
Ji Yulin’s lips curled up, and she said, “And?”
Li An didn’t understand and blinked. The white cat ears also swayed. It should have been her own doing. Her pink hair was messy from the headband, and a round tuft had even popped out.
Ji Yulin reached out and tidied it for her, and said with great patience, “What else did Qi Fu teach you?”
Li An said “oh,” thinking that Ji Yulin was telling her to confess. She said properly, “She also told me to rub against you, to press against you, and to feed, feed you cake.”
She didn’t know what she was reminded of, but the last sentence was said with a stutter, and her ears also turned red.
Ji Yulin smiled and repeated, “And?”
Seeing that she couldn’t hide it, Li An had no choice but to confess completely, “And, and she told me to kneel on you, and to kiss, one bite and one feed.”
It was obvious that Qi Fu was teaching Li An as the one on the bottom, but Ji Yulin had no intention of correcting her. Her clean fingertips picked up some cream, fed it to Li An’s lips, and then asked, “And?”
The person said, “And, and a rose bath…”
Before she could finish, her fingertips had already probed into her open lips. Li An was forced to tilt her head back and tasted a little sweetness, and subconsciously took a sip.
“Good girl,” Ji Yulin coaxed in a low voice, and then said, “What’s the next step? What step should we be at now?”
Li An was obviously stunned for a moment. With cream in her mouth, she said blankly, “I think I just rubbed against you. Now, now I should be feeding you.”
Ji Yulin just smiled and said, “Where did you rub? That’s not how you rub, baby.”
Before Li An could react, she had already picked her up and, after sitting on the sofa, Li An was forced to kneel by her leg.
Ji Yulin patted her thigh and looked up, “Come, rub like this.”
