Chapter 67 World 2 [37]
Such a distance left Jing Ke with no chance of escape, because she was standing at the door. If she stepped back, she would have to lean against the door frame.
Jing Ke has no way out, she must give a direct answer.
"I..." Jing Ke paused, "I can do it, but before that, I have to confess something to you."
"What's the matter?" Shao Qing's eyelids twitched, and he realized that the thing he had avoided before seemed to be exposed in front of him.
Shao Qing did not give Jing Ke a chance to avoid answering, and it seemed that he also did not give himself a second chance to escape.
"In the last world, I had a lover who seemed to be from the same origin as you." Jing Ke was as frank as ever.
But when her words fell into Shao Qing's ears, some key words were automatically muted, and she could not hear the second half of the sentence. She could only hear Jing Ke saying that she once had a lover.
"You can't forget that person?" Shao Qing didn't notice anything wrong the first time.
"Yes, because you and she are from the same origin, so I don't know if I have confused you two." Jing Ke said.
"What?" Shao Qing couldn't hear more. She could only hear Jing Ke admit that he had not forgotten his lover in the previous world.
Jing Ke also realized something was wrong at this time and repeated what he had said before.
"There shouldn't be anything wrong with my ears, right? Are you teasing me on purpose?" Shao Qing frowned slightly and took a step back.
"No, I'm not teasing you, I just..." Jing Ke obviously didn't expect this to happen. There was only one possibility that Shao Qing couldn't hear what she said.
That is, the rules don't want Shao Qing to hear those words. The word "same origin" mentioned by him is an absolute taboo for Shao Qing.
"Just what? You're not going to tell me you're in love with someone from another world, so you're rejecting me, are you?" Shao Qing frowned. "You already said you could do it, so you wouldn't turn your back on me so quickly, right?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Jing Ke's face showed a rare look of bewilderment. "What I meant is that you and her are a little similar in some ways, and I might sometimes confuse the existence of the two of you."
After changing the way of expression, Jing Ke's words were finally heard by Shao Qing.
But Shao Qing would rather not hear these words. She took another step back with an unhappy look on her face.
Shao Qing could accept that Jing Ke had an ex-boyfriend. After all, she was indeed a hot commodity, and there were countless people in the circle who wanted to be by her side.
But Shao Qing couldn't accept Jing Ke comparing herself to her ex-girlfriend and saying that they had similarities.
"Then what do you mean? Do you want to use me as a substitute?" Shao Qing was a little angry, so angry that he wanted to bite Jing Ke to vent his anger.
"No, no, I didn't. Please don't misunderstand me." Jing Ke tried hard to explain, but because the key information was automatically muted, the more she explained, the angrier Shao Qing became.
"Okay, shut up." Shao Qing said, and was so angry that he grabbed Jing Ke's collar, pulled her down and bit her lips hard.
"Don't mention your ex-girlfriend to me. I don't want to hear any words related to her. Just tell me whether you like me or not." Shao Qing said.
If this so-called ex-girlfriend was not from a different world from himself, Shao Qing felt that he should go and fight her to see who Jing Ke liked.
"You should like it, right?" Jing Ke said cautiously.
"Should I?" Shao Qing raised an eyebrow, and his bright features looked even more aggressive. "Jing Ke, I'll give you another chance to express yourself again."
"Yes, I like you, I like Shao Qing." Jing Ke realized that something was wrong and gave the correct answer.
"Very good, remember your answer and keep it in the future." Shao Qing snorted and loosened Jing Ke's collar.
"I'm a little sleepy now. I'm going to sleep." Shao Qing said.
"Okay, then I'll close the door." Jing Ke said, subconsciously touching her bitten lip.
Hiss, it seems to be a little painful. It must be swollen, right?
-
Before watching the Spring Festival Gala, Jing Ke and Shao Qing had already taken a shower. After closing and locking the door, Shao Qing took Jing Ke's hand, interlocked their fingers, and walked up the stairs together.
After finding herself being pulled by Shao Qing towards her room, Jing Ke moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just silently accepted Shao Qing's arrangement and entered her room.
"Go to bed, it's almost one o'clock." Shao Qing pulled the curtains in the room and began to take off his coat.
"Okay, okay." Jing Ke licked his still swollen lips, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed obediently.
"Jing Ke, I can give you one last chance. If you don't like me, you can reject me. I won't deny the contract between us just because of your rejection."
After they both lay down on the bed, Shao Qing spoke, his tone sounding a little calmer than before.
Shao Qing: "Even if you don't like me and reject me, you can still be my friend. After I die, you can still take away the part of my luck that belongs to you."
"Yes, I like you." Jing Ke answered very firmly, "I like you, and I chose you voluntarily."
"Really?" Shao Qing was skeptical. Just now at the door, Jing Ke was still thinking about her ex-girlfriend.
"Yes, really." Jing Ke nodded.
After being bitten, Jing Ke's mind became a little clearer.
At least she was sure that her concern for Shao Qing was not a so-called emotional transfer. She now knew very well that Shao Qing was an independent individual with different experiences and memories. Shao Qing was Shao Qing.
Jing Ke's resolute answer gave Shao Qing some confidence, and he couldn't help but ask the previous question again, "So, tell me, what are the similarities between me and your ex-girlfriend? Am I better or is she better?"
"This..." Jing Ke touched his nose, trying to avoid the question.
"You can't say it? Am I not as good as her?" Shao Qing frowned, and the rationality he had regained was about to run away again.
It’s not that Shao Qing wants to be aggressive, it’s just that Jing Ke’s indecisiveness is really irritating.
"You two seem quite different. The only similarity is that you both like to donate money to charity?" Jing Ke changed from touching his nose to touching his face.
Shang Siyu has cold facial features and a relatively introverted personality. He was first a researcher and later an entrepreneur.
Shao Qing's facial features are bright and flamboyant. Although she is a bit cautious, it should have nothing to do with being introverted. In her comfort zone, her personality is just like her facial features, a passionate red rose.
"That's all?" Shao Qing's dissatisfaction was slightly reduced by Jing Ke's words.
No matter in which world, donating money to charity is an excellent quality. If that was the only thing that was the same, she could still accept it.
"I can't think of any other similarities between you two." Jing Ke said truthfully, with sincerity in his eyes.
"Okay, let's go to bed." Shao Qing reached out and turned off the light, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
At this time, all the firecrackers had been set off, so it was very quiet outside and the two could easily hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.
"Jing Ke, good night." Shao Qing took the initiative to say.
"Good night, Shao Qing." Jing Ke followed.
Jing Ke wanted to ask for a goodnight kiss, but after the tip of her tongue touched her swollen lips, she silently retracted the idea.
It’s better not to say anything. Otherwise, if Shao Qing asks me why I want a goodnight kiss, I can’t just answer that I’m used to it, right?
After three minutes of silence in the room, Shao Qing couldn't help but start adjusting his sleeping position, stretching his arms and moving his legs from time to time, looking extremely uneasy.
"What's wrong? Can't sleep? Do you need me to read you a French poem?" Jing Ke asked.
Shao Qing took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
"Jing Ke, I'm a little cold." Shao Qing gave a little hint.
"Then should I turn up the air conditioning temperature?" Jing Ke gave a tentative answer.
"The air conditioner is already very hot, but my hands and feet don't get hot easily." Shao Qing gave a more obvious hint, "You should understand what I mean, right?"
Jing Ke’s reactions are sometimes a little slow, but she is a little different from Mu Mu.
Before Shao Qing could repeat herself, Jing Ke reached out and covered Shao Qing's hands. As for her feet, they were also clamped by Jing Ke's calves.
"My hands and feet get hot easily. Let me help warm you up." After being prompted several times, Jing Ke finally gave the correct answer.
After feeling the warmth for two minutes, Shao Qing couldn't help but step on Jing Ke's calf, "There seems to be a little air leakage between us, and the quilt is not covering us tightly."
Having accumulated some experience, Jing Ke no longer said stupid things like turning up the air conditioner temperature. After pulling up the quilt, he reached out and hugged Shao Qing, allowing her to lean on his arms.
"Is this posture okay? If you feel uncomfortable, you can adjust it at will." Jing Ke said.
Shao Qing did not answer, but chose to lean his head over, and his warm breath sprayed on Jing Ke's neck, making her unable to help but hug the person in her arms tightly.
-
New Year, new beginning. Jing Ke and Shao Qing, lying on the same bed, also successfully unlocked new identities in the new year.
After waking up naturally from a pleasant sleep, Shao Qing, who opened his eyes first, took three seconds to realize why he was in Jing Ke's arms.
After discovering that it didn't feel bad to sleep in someone's arms, Shao Qing reached out and touched Jing Ke's fair neck, and then did something she had thought about several times before - she opened her mouth and bit Jing Ke's neck.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Jing Ke, who was about to wake up, opened her eyes directly, with a hint of sleepiness in her amber eyes.
"Jing Ke, do you like me or your ex-girlfriend?" Shao Qing had not forgotten what Jing Ke said at night. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that she had just woken up and her mind was not clear, to ask for a reliable answer.
"I like it. I like Shao Qing." Jing Ke gave the answer without hesitation.
Jing Ke had actually figured this out before going to bed. Love should be unique. When facing Shang Siyu, she gave all her heart, so she should do the same when facing Shao Qing.
"Well, get up. Grandma should have cooked the Five Blessings Porridge." Shao Qing was quite satisfied with this answer and sat up by supporting himself on the bed with one hand.
Jing Ke came over, but all her toiletries were still in another room. So after putting on her coat, Jing Ke went back to her room in her slippers and started washing up.
-
On the first day of the new year, the two did not plan anything for themselves.
The only thing that takes time is to reply to the Happy New Year greetings that are flooding my phone, and send a group blessing message.
As the boss, Jing Ke didn't care whether she replied or not, but she was in a good mood because she had a girlfriend. She directly sent a big red envelope of 100,000 yuan in the work group, a total of 200, just as a wedding gift.
The employees who received big red envelopes from their bosses on the first day of the new year were also very happy. They praised their boss in the group and happily began their rare life of lying down.
Because it was too late and there were no plane tickets, it was almost time for dinner when Yu Hongjun successfully arrived at the urban-rural fringe area from the airport.
It was the same reason as before, seven people were always more lively than three or four, so a few people who had no schedules got together again.
After lunch, we formed a mahjong group of four.
Grandma Shao wanted to take a nap and did not participate, Jiang Qingyi chose to watch from behind Yu Hongjun, and Director Li, who felt that his luck was not so good, took the task of making tea, leaving the other four to fight at the mahjong table.
Grandma Shao doesn’t have a fully automatic mahjong table at home, so the cards are shuffled manually, and everyone has a strong sense of participation.
Jing Ke and the other three are not short of money, so they play a little big. The minimum loss is one hundred in one round, and there is no upper limit. The main thing they play for is their heartbeat.
Shao Qingchen is the one with the worst card skills among the four, and her luck in drawing cards is also pretty average. If Jing Ke hadn't been able to feed her some cards as the next player, she would probably be the only one who lost money in the end.
Both Yu Hongjun and Boss Hao are quite skilled, so they could naturally see through Jing Ke's obvious tactics of letting the opponent win.
But no one wants to point it out. The purpose of playing mahjong is to have fun. As long as the emotional value is there, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose.
But Shao Qingxian was the first to feel embarrassed. After discovering that his new girlfriend was feeding him like crazy, he found an excuse to leave and let Jiang Qingyi, who seemed to be somewhat interested, take his place.
After Shao Qing left the stage, Jing Ke no longer had anyone who needed special attention, and the speed at which he drew and played cards became faster.
"I won by myself."
"All the same color, win."
"Gang, Gang with flowers, win."
Jing Ke's winning times also soared. Except for Jiang Qingyi who was still performing stably and making a small profit, Yu Hongjun and Boss Hao, two mahjong players who claimed to be good at it, were defeated one after another and lost more than 10,000 in just one hour.
"Boss Jing, that's amazing," Director Li, who was watching, couldn't help but sigh. "When we used to play mahjong, Sister Hong and Boss Hao always won more. I never thought that the situation would change."
"I'm lucky today." Jing Ke smiled and played a card casually.
Making Yu Hongjun and Boss Hao lose more than 10,000 yuan was actually the result of Jing Ke's restraint. If she had really let go, the amount could at least double to 30,000 yuan.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, in order to allow all six people to participate, the original mahjong turned into a passionate three-three Landlord game.
Jing Ke and Shao Qing were also separated. The former played with Boss Hao and Jiang Qingyi, while the latter played with Yu Hongjun and Director Li.
Landlords no longer involves counting money, but has become an alternative version of Truth or Dare.
If the landlord wins, he can ask two questions, and the two peasants can freely choose who will answer the question. If the peasants win, each peasant can ask a question, and the landlord only needs to choose one of the two to answer.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t answer the questions. The default dare is to do ten push-ups. It’s just for fun and not a big deal.
Jing Ke's card skills were as good as ever. He won when he was the landlord and also when he was the farmer. After three rounds, he was not asked a single question. Instead, he learned some little secrets of Boss Hao.
The situation on Shao Qing's side was a little different. Without his girlfriend who secretly helped him win, Shao Qing lost two of the three games and answered a question each from Yu Hongjun and Director Li.
Yu Hongjun: "Did Xiao Shao ever have other thoughts about the artists he worked with during filming?"
Shao Qing recalled carefully, then shook his head, "No, it seems to be the same after leaving the role."
Director Li: "Xiao Shao, what is your ideal type? Can you tell me?"
"She is honest and reliable, and acts in an upright manner. I can trust and rely on her, right?" Shao Qing said with a hint of uncertainty. Thinking of his newly-minted girlfriend, he subconsciously glanced at Jing Ke.
Oh no, something is happening.
Yu Hongjun and Director Li looked at each other, and neither of them was very surprised by this situation.
Shao Qing and Jing Ke have already gone home together to celebrate the New Year. Even though they are good friends, they are not this close. It is very normal for them to be together.
Shao Qing, who won once, also got the opportunity to ask questions, and she returned the favor by asking similar questions.
Shao Qing: "Has Teacher Yu ever fallen in love with people in the same circle?" Obviously, Shao Qing gave a wider range.
Yu Hongjun smiled and didn't avoid the question, "Yes, I had someone I liked not long after I debuted."
"Did Sister Hong confess to the other party?" Shao Qing, who had originally just asked casually, became interested.
"No, so many years have passed, and I have found a more suitable identity to stay with the other person. I am very satisfied with the current situation." Yu Hongjun said.
"Okay, if you want to know who that person is, Xiao Shao, you have to try to beat me again, then I might tell you the answer." Yu Hongjun said with a smile.
Shao Qing's curiosity was aroused, but her luck was really not very good. She either became a farmer with Yu Hongjun or lost as a landlord and did not get a second chance to ask the other party a question.
But Shao Qing also had some vague guesses in his mind.
-
There are many benefits to not visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, one of which is that it gives Jing Ke and Shao Qing plenty of time to waste.
Compared to socializing, the two of them obviously prefer to go out for a drive, occasionally strolling into a deserted alley, taking some photos and posting updates, interacting with their lovely fans.
Shao Qing makes a living by his acting skills and good looks, and doesn't need to abide by any rules that forbid dating.
So Shao Qing likes to bring Jing Ke along when taking photos. He doesn’t need a very professional camera, just a simple selfie stick is enough.
Both of them have very good looks and don't need heavy makeup. They look very good even without makeup.
As soon as the photo was posted, there were many comments calling the couple husband and wife, and there were also CP fans who were chased by the couple and fed them food, thus their number grew.
"Why do they call our couple Jing Qing instead of Shao Ke?" After scrolling through the comments, Shao Qing raised the question from the bottom of his heart.
"Maybe it's because I'm taller than you?" Jing Ke also took out her mobile phone and took a look. She directly forwarded Shao Qingfa's post. There were relatively fewer comments, but traces of CP fans could also be found in it.
"Then let's take another photo. Come here, hold my arm, and then lean your head on my shoulder." Shao Qing said. She felt a desire to win in a strange place.
Jing Ke smiled and obediently performed the actions as Shao Qing said. In order to make the picture look more harmonious, he even bent his knees to lower his height.
[Hahaha, I bet a hundred bucks that this photo is either Shao Qing stepping on a rock, or Boss Jing with his legs bent.]
[That's right, their heights have long been figured out by their CP fans: Shao Qing is 173cm tall and Jing Ke is 178cm tall. With the height difference between them, they can perfectly stand side by side when Shao Qing wears high heels!]
[Why is Qingqing so concerned about her height? Did she see the comments from those couple fans and want to prove herself?]
[It could be that Shao Qing has posted a lot of photos together these past two days. If they're still together right now, there's a high possibility they're in a different relationship than just good friends.]
However, neither the fans who support the couple nor the onlookers thought that Shao Qing was the stronger one just because of the change in the photo pose. Most of them thought that Jing Ke was on the left.
"Do you want to take another picture with your arm around my waist? That way you can look more powerful." Jing Ke, who saw the comment, offered a very considerate solution.
"Forget it, let it be. If we really take it seriously, netizens will only believe in some false news more." Shao Qing chose to turn off the software and pretend that he didn't see it.
Anyway, her purpose is to let more people know that she is now with Jing Ke, and to put her own label on Jing Ke.
She didn't care whether she was on the left or the right, as long as she reached her original destination.
Who listens to whom? Who knows better than yourself?
