A-Zhi's hired help was indeed quick and efficient; in just one afternoon, they transformed Cheng Qiuyi's kitchen, which had been blown up, back to looking brand new. Cheng Qiuyi was very satisfied and gave each of them a little extra for their hard work. After sending them off, she realized it was almost time for Liu Shuhan to finish work, so she decided to wait for her at the entrance of Liu Shuhan's company.
Liu Shuhan's workplace was officially referred to as a company, but it was actually a combination of an office and a warehouse, with large trucks coming and going frequently, kicking up dust everywhere. This was Cheng Qiuyi's first visit to Liu Shuhan's workplace, and seeing such an environment made her worry. With so much traffic every day, what if Liu Shuhan caught rhinitis or pharyngitis? She needed to think of a way to bring her closer.
Liu Shuhan walked out with a few female colleagues, chatting and laughing. She was holding a stack of papers that looked quite heavy. Cheng Qiuyi quickly got out of the car and took the papers from her hands. "Why didn't you say anything about carrying all this?"
Suddenly, such a beautiful woman appeared and seemed quite familiar with Liu Shuhan. The colleagues exchanged glances and teased, "Oh Shu Han, why didn't you tell us you have such a gorgeous friend?"
Liu Shuhan felt embarrassed and stumbled over her words, but Cheng Qiuyi came to her rescue: "Shu Han's lease expired a few months ago, and she moved. I'm her current roommate."
The colleagues understood immediately. "Shu Han, how come you didn't mention you have such a pretty roommate? Keeping it a secret isn't right."
"Exactly! Roommate, what's your name? We should go out for drinks sometime."
Hearing the word "drinks," Liu Shuhan felt a headache coming on and quickly interrupted, "Alright now, both of you have boyfriends. Is it appropriate to surround one girl like this? Go on now, enjoy your couple time."
The colleagues checked the time and promptly said their goodbyes. Liu Shuhan finally relaxed and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Qiu Yi, don't listen to them; I've never had drinks with them!"
Cheng Qiuyi opened the car door and helped Liu Shuhan buckle up in the passenger seat. "I know." Usually, Liu Shuhan only mentioned those coworkers who worked with her delivering couriers; she had never talked about any female colleagues. Now that Liu Shuhan had advanced in the branch office, it was easy to guess what kind of people she worked with.
"What’s that thick stack you have? It looks heavy." Cheng Qiuyi tied the stack with a rope and stuffed it into the trunk before reversing the car while casually asking.
Liu Shuhan slumped into her seat, exhausted. "I don’t know either; all I know is if I don’t get these sorted out by tomorrow, I’ll be in big trouble with the Boss."
Among those documents were files that required Liu Shuhan's signature and various company reports—everything you could think of but nothing she could understand.
"Your Boss is something else; does our company even have foreign orders? Why are there English documents? Isn’t that just making things difficult?"
"Take it slow, there's no rush."
"I can't take it slow anymore—" Liu Shuhan cried out, "The deadline for those documents is tomorrow!"
At the next intersection, the light turned red just in time, and Cheng Qiuyi stepped on the brakes to stop. "Forget about that for now. We agreed to celebrate today. What do you want to eat?"
Liu Shuhan wasn't picky, but she didn't like sour or bitter foods. However, thanks to Mama Liu's training over the years, she could eat almost anything if she had to. She didn't have a favorite food, or rather, she wasn't choosy; as long as it wasn't too bad, she could eat it.
What should they eat? Liu Shuhan tapped her chin in thought. Passing by a hot pot restaurant, her eyes lit up. "Qiu Yi, how about we have hot pot?"
"Sure, this place?" Cheng Qiuyi pointed to the restaurant following Liu Shuhan's gaze.
"No, I meant we should buy ingredients and make hot pot at home. We still have some bone broth left; it would be a waste not to use it."
Cheng Qiuyi had no objections. After all, any ingredients that went through Liu Shuhan's hands could turn into something amazing. It's just that...
"Just so you know, the road to the market is restricted today; we can't go that way."
"Huh?" Liu Shuhan's face fell with disappointment. "What should we do then?"
"Let's stop by the supermarket near our place and pick up some things. It's just the two of us; how much can we eat anyway?" As long as they didn't go to the market, anything was fine. Cheng Qiuyi added, "I warn you though, don't buy winter melon. Just smelling it makes me sick."
Liu Shuhan smirked and playfully touched Cheng Qiuyi's lower abdomen. "Sick? You wouldn't be pregnant, would you? Hmm, baby be good and call mommy."
Liu Shuhan learned all her mischievous tricks from Cheng Qiuyi; there was no way Cheng Qiuyi would be intimidated by her. Cheng Qiuyi freed one hand to grab Liu Shuhan's wrist and pressed it against her own abdomen to keep it still. "You can feel all you want; what's inside here is your seed—a little piece of wood." As she spoke, her fingers lightly teased Liu Shuhan's palm a few times.
Although Cheng Qiuyi practiced martial arts, she came from a wealthy family and was pampered since childhood. Her fingers were long and delicate, with neatly trimmed nails that were simply a soft pink nude color—no calluses at all. The few gentle strokes against Liu Shuhan's palm sent shivers through her veins like electricity. Remembering what Cheng Qiuyi's hands had done before made Liu Shuhan's face burn with heat as she forcefully pulled her hand back in frustration, thinking that indeed, one shouldn't provoke a rogue; it would only lead to trouble.
Cheng Qiuyi loved seeing Liu Shuhan blush; the smooth white skin on her face turned rosy with shyness and bashfulness was almost irresistible to look at. With ten seconds left on the red light, Cheng Qiuyi unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned over, and licked Liu Shuhan's cheek before quickly sitting back up and fastening her seatbelt again—all in one fluid motion, perfectly timed with the light changing.
Until the car drove far away, Liu Shuhan only realized that she seemed to have been teased again. However, she quietly touched the place where Cheng Qiuyi had just been frivolous, and her lips unconsciously curved up. After all, the person was hers now; letting her kiss was a gain for herself! This deal was not a loss.
"Shu Han, if you keep smiling so seductively, be careful I might punish you right here in the car," Cheng Qiuyi said meaningfully while looking at the rearview mirror.
"Get lost! You're just as lewd!" The little rogue could never compare to the big rogue.
...
After shopping and returning home, Liu Shuhan glanced around the kitchen and noticed something was off. "Aren't our plates supposed to be down there? Why are they up here? And this knife, the order is wrong. Why are the bowls inside...?"
Liu Shuhan wanted to continue checking when Cheng Qiuyi quickly blocked her way. "Um... I tidied up a bit today since I had nothing to do. Hurry and cook; I'm starving..."
"Oh, that's how it is..."
Liu Shuhan didn't think much of it. The two of them worked together to prepare the ingredients, setting up an induction cooker on the dining table and placing the ingredients aside, making it look quite decent.
They had a lively hot pot meal, and after washing off the smell of hot pot, Liu Shuhan sat at the table staring at a thick stack of documents with a frown. "Qiu Yi..."
"Yes?" Cheng Qiuyi was applying skincare products in front of the mirror and glanced at Liu Shuhan through it.
"I... can you help me take a look...?"
Cheng Qiuyi revealed a triumphant smile where Liu Shuhan couldn't see her. She composed herself and walked over to the desk. "What don't you understand?"
"I... I don't know any of it..." Liu Shuhan quickly got up to give her seat and lowered her head in front of Cheng Qiuyi. Cheng Qiuyi had a strange illusion that Liu Shuhan had never changed over the past ten years; she was still that hardworking but not very smart high school student. Only this time, the teacher had become herself.
"Alright." Cheng Qiuyi clapped her thigh and sat down, wrapping her arms around Liu Shuhan's waist and pulling her onto her lap. In that embrace, she put on her glasses and casually picked up the top sheet of paper to read seriously, while her other hand quietly moved up Liu Shuhan's thigh.
Liu Shuhan was wearing a loose nightgown, and Cheng Qiuyi's action nearly lifted it completely. Since they were doing serious work, Liu Shuhan shyly stopped Cheng Qiuyi's further advances. "Qiu Yi, stop messing around; these documents need to be submitted by tomorrow morning."
"I know." Cheng Qiuyi's hand slipped past Liu Shuhan's obstruction, continuing to wander along her inner thigh. "Aren't I watching? Shu Han, staying up late is bad for your skin. You have to give me some reward, right?"
"You can look first; the reward... we'll talk about it later."
"That won't do. What if you don't acknowledge it later? Wouldn't I be at a loss?" Cheng Qiuyi put down the documents in her hand and leaned closer to Liu Shuhan's ear.
Liu Shuhan gritted her teeth. "When have you ever lost out in these matters? Are you going to help or not? If not, I'll handle it myself."
"Help, help, help! How could I not help my own wife?" Cheng Qiuyi grinned and picked up the paper again. "Shu Han, these documents are actually quite similar. Once you understand one, the others will be easy too. How about this: I'll teach you, and if you get it, I'll give you a little reward. If not, then I’ll have to punish you properly. Deal?"
Liu Shuhan knew Cheng Qiuyi had ulterior motives, but she was right; the road ahead was long, and she couldn't always rely on Cheng Qiuyi. "Alright, let's do it your way!"
Cheng Qiuyi indeed became serious and earnestly explained things to Liu Shuhan. At first, Liu Shuhan listened attentively, but within a few minutes, her thoughts began to drift elsewhere.
Cheng Qiuyi looked quite attractive when she focused; her gold-rimmed glasses reflected the light from the desk lamp, her narrow eyes slightly drooping, long eyelashes casting two fan-shaped shadows on her eyelids. Her thin lips moved enticingly, making it hard for Liu Shuhan to concentrate on what Cheng Qiuyi was saying.
"Alright, that's basically it. Did you understand?" Cheng Qiuyi asked.
Liu Shuhan snapped back to reality. "I... I understood."
"Really? Then I'm going to test you."
