Chapter 41 "Inspection of Goods"
Chapter 41 "Inspection of Goods"
As their eyes met, a deathly silence fell over the bedroom.
Lin Su looked up at the man who was only ten or twenty centimeters away from her. When she met his eyes, she couldn't make any expression.
He gently stroked her face and smiled faintly: "Why are you stunned?"
Lin Su opened her mouth and looked at him, but only her eyes were moving.
Zhou Yunqi cupped her cheeks with both hands at the same time, his fingertips caressing her skin, and said, "Good girl, give me a reaction. Don't make me think that what I just said was just my imagination and that I didn't actually say it out loud."
"I..." Lin Su finally spoke, a wisp of mist hidden in her eyes.
This shouldn't be happening; this is exactly what she's been hoping for.
She wanted him to pursue her openly and honestly, and now that he has, she hasn't felt the excitement she expected. Instead, she has many concerns.
The painkillers should have worked, but instead, my lower abdomen cramped even more.
Lin Su frowned, her eyelids, which were filled with mist, closed tightly.
After a sharp pain in his abdomen, Lin Su placed her hand on his shoulder.
"It hurts," Lin Su murmured, tears welling up in her eyes, threatening to fall.
Zhou Yunqi hugged her and said as if giving up, "Why don't we go to the hospital?"
"Need not."
Menstrual cramps were secondary; Lin Su simply didn't know how to respond to him.
She simply buried her face in his chest, sobbing softly, wiping her tears on his shirt.
The man looked down, his eyes and the tip of his nose were red.
"Looks like your stomach doesn't like me," he laughed.
Lin Su sniffed and replied, "No, it was just a little surprised."
Zhou Yunqi sighed softly, "Now is indeed not a good time, but when will it be a good time? I should have asked you when I saw you in the alley, but it's been two days already."
His voice grew softer and softer, and Lin Su was speechless.
After taking a deep breath, he adjusted the position of his large arm around her, rested his chin on her head, and began to ask, "Tell me, what is Susu's ideal partner like?"
Lin Su said, "What I'm thinking is all very mundane."
He was incredibly patient: "How exactly is it considered vulgar?"
"I just want to be tall."
"How high is considered high?"
"Over 1.8 meters tall".
I am 185 cm tall.
"You need to have good body proportions."
"My legs aren't short, and my head isn't big either."
"And they have to be good-looking."
"Although I don't know if I look good in your eyes, you once said my mother is beautiful, and I take after her."
Lin Su pursed her lips: "Also, they are capable and know how to make money."
"I'm making money, I'm making money."
"She is good at taking care of people."
"It's being taken care of."
Lin Su fell silent.
That's all?
"Anyway, it has to be pleasing to the eye."
“I meet all these requirements, and I have a dormitory room to live in, but the only thing that’s there is a watch that’s ticking… It’s a bit shabby, but you didn’t mention that.”
Lin Su's originally gloomy mood was instantly amused by these words.
But when I smiled, my lower abdomen twitched again.
She continued humming.
"So I'm qualified to pursue him?" he asked.
Lin Su asked, "So how are you going to pursue me?"
Zhou Yunqi pondered: "My first step is to go back to my uncle's house."
"Going back to my uncle's house?" She looked up at him. "Why?"
“Living together, I can’t pursue him.” He looked down quietly, his eyes full of sincerity.
"You don't need to worry. When you stop chasing me is up to you. If you don't say, I'll keep chasing you." He handed over all the initiative to her.
At that moment, Lin Su understood that he wasn't just saying it casually, but genuinely wanted to pursue her, like many boys do when pursuing girls: asking her out, treating her to dinner, taking her home, and leaving after dropping her off at her building.
She couldn't refuse someone like that.
This person is someone she likes.
He is the best Zhou Yunqi in the world.
After a moment of emotion, tears welled up in my eyes again.
The man wiped away her tears with his fingertips and smiled, "I haven't even started pursuing you yet, and you're already so touched. But it doesn't count now. I'll move out when the pain subsides."
After comforting her for a while, she asked again, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt as much anymore."
"I'll go cook first, you lie down and rest for a while." He glanced at his watch. "It's already one o'clock."
Soon, the aroma of scallions and tofu wafted from the kitchen. Lin Su lay on the bed, breathing heavily.
After thinking for a while...
It seems like being pursued is pretty good too.
...
Zhou Yunqi left after dinner, by which time Lin Su's pain had subsided considerably.
But he still gave a lot of instructions.
Lin Su secretly stood by the window, watching his figure leave.
He didn't come over for the next two days, and Lin Su returned to her previous state of living alone, but she was no longer used to it.
Fortunately, Xu Yaodong would come over and bother her.
Xu Yaodong said, "I feel like you and the boss have been acting strange lately. Did you have a fight?"
Lin Su said, "No."
"Then why isn't he living here anymore?"
“His uncle’s family had some business to attend to, so he went back to his place first. His clothes are still with him. He’ll probably be busy for the next couple of days.”
Xu Yaodong looked at her in confusion: "That's all? But he even chased after you to Jinshi that day."
Hearing this, Lin Su was also a little puzzled, so she asked, "Did something happen that day? Why did he suddenly come to find me?"
Xu Yaodong recalled: "Actually, nothing much happened. I bought a watermelon and waited at the gatekeeper's place. When he came back, his face was a bit gloomy, as if he had been through something. Not long after he went inside, he said he was going to find you, and then he left."
"that's all?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Xu Yaodong asked gossipily, “When he found you, he didn’t say anything to you?”
Lin Su paused for a moment, deciding to keep the fact that he was pursuing her a secret, and replied, "He didn't say anything. He was probably just bored."
He scoffed, "What's so boring? The boss just misses you."
"I say, it's strange between you two. You're living together, so why are you still so reserved?"
Lin Su glared at him: "Don't meddle in other people's business, or your boss will skin you alive."
"How could I dare to interfere?"
"..."
On the afternoon of the fourth day of her period, Zhou Yunqi brought over some food and asked, "I didn't have time the past two days, are you still in pain?"
Lin Su said, "It only hurt on the first day, but it's normal now."
"Then let's go see a movie this afternoon. After the movie, I'll treat you to dinner and then take you back."
Following a standard dating procedure, Lin Su nodded happily: "Okay."
-
This was, in fact, the first time Lin Su had gone to the movies with Zhou Yunqi.
At that time, movie tickets were very cheap, costing only two cents. They chose a movie that was about to be shown, reflecting the new atmosphere of the times.
I went inside, found a seat, and sat down. Although the theater wasn't exactly full, there were quite a few people watching the movie, including family, friends, and many couples.
The only downside was that there was no popcorn available, but some people brought their own roasted broad beans, which were crunchy and delicious.
The theater was dimly lit, and as the movie played, the images on the screen kept changing, causing the reflected light to flicker.
This atmosphere was quite suitable for a date, so Lin Su noticed that a boy in the first two rows seemed to have secretly taken the hand of the girl next to him. The girl struggled symbolically for a moment, but eventually relented and they held hands tightly as they watched the movie. Another girl was actively nudging the boy next to her with her arm, as if testing his reaction. To the left, there was a couple who seemed to be in a committed relationship; at the beginning of the movie, the girl's head was resting on the boy's shoulder, and his arm was around her waist…
Lin Su thought to herself that she was also there for a date at the movie theater, so she couldn't lose.
She tilted her head and observed Zhou Yunqi's profile in the dim light of the big screen, only to find him intently staring at the screen. When he noticed her gaze, he looked back at her and smiled.
Lin Su straightened her head, leaned back in her chair, and watched several screens, but he remained motionless. Lin Su couldn't help but feel frustrated; why didn't this man take the opportunity to touch her or hug her?
Is it upholding the principles of a gentleman?
They're openly pursuing it, so what's the point of maintaining morals?
Their legs were touching, with only a tiny distance between them, and they would touch if they were to. Lin Su began to have wandering thoughts, and her right hand, which was on her leg, couldn't help but move little by little to his thigh.
Zhou Yunqi looked down and saw that wicked little hand.
As if on purpose, she gently stroked his strong legs.
The man maintained a calm demeanor, but Lin Su knew he was watching and that his attitude was one of indulgence. So she became even more audacious, her fingers crawling like worms, slowly inching deeper into his thigh.
A slight itch came from between my legs.
But it's okay, he can endure it.
He wanted to see just how far this guy would go in committing evil deeds once he gained strength.
Just as she was about to touch a certain spot, Lin Su's hand stopped, leaving only her fingertips pointing at it, just two or three centimeters away.
The man sighed inwardly; as expected, she had done it on purpose.
She aroused his desire, yet she remained still.
Fortunately, he got used to it.
The audience members sitting next to him glanced at him out of the corner of their eyes, but Zhou Yunqi didn't care at all.
His girl wanted to play with him, and of course he did; it was nothing special in this situation.
The man quietly gathered his strength, and when the movie screen suddenly went dark, he couldn't wait any longer. He placed his palm directly on the back of her hand, grabbed her hand, and then pulled her palm over to accurately cover his.
Caught off guard, Lin Su let out a soft "hmm" from her throat.
Through two layers of fabric, an extremely strange sensation came from her soft palm.
Soon, the sensation became clearer and clearer. The movie scenes were moving, the characters were saying their lines, but all she could hear was his deep breathing.
Unexpectedly, he did this. There were even people secretly watching them out of the corner of their eyes. Lin Su was so embarrassed that she tried to pull her hand away, but he held onto it and wouldn't let go.
He even took her hand and stroked it up and down.
Lin Su's breathing became heavy. Although he was covering his face with his arm, those around him should have been able to see what was going on.
Their arms were touching, and he leaned his head closer.
The man leaned close to her ear, his warm breath tickling Lin Su's ear. His deep, husky voice, like a cello, sent shivers down her spine.
"You want to inspect the goods?"
"Then let's examine it properly."
Lin Su's cheeks instantly flushed, the redness spreading to the tips of her ears.
He continued to exert himself, and after a moment, his deep voice asked again, "How did the test go?"
Lin Su finally pulled her hand away from his, her throat dry, and she swallowed hard.
Finally, he calmly said, "The quality is so-so."
With a click of his tongue, the extremely unconvinced man gritted his teeth and said, "Where are your quality control standards? Make them public!"
Lin Su pursed her lips, sat up straight, and stopped talking.
Let's watch a movie.
Whispering is prohibited in movie theaters!
