Chapter 54
Collecting "overtime pay"
The situation suddenly took a turn for the better.
The onlookers below were completely dumbfounded.
What exactly happened?
One person says Jiang Fengyi stole her boyfriend, while another says Zhao Ruxuan never even met her boyfriend when they were together. Who is lying?
[It's obvious that Zhao Ruxuan is lying; just directly expose that her boyfriend doesn't know Zhao Ruxuan.]
[Has anyone noticed? The Xu Que that Jiang Fengyi mentioned is the same person on her marriage certificate. Those netizens who were criticizing her for getting married and stealing someone else's partner can finally stop.]
Did Jiang Fengyi steal Zhao Ruxuan's boyfriend, or did Zhao Ruxuan steal Jiang Fengyi's boyfriend?
Judging from Jiang Fengyi's latest post, it's obvious that Zhao Ruxuan stole her boyfriend!
Wasn't Zhao Shuyi just crying wolf before?
Why did she do that?
[It's all about gaining notoriety through controversy; traffic is king.]
The Zhao family certainly doesn't lack this kind of money, does they?
Which rich person would complain about having too much money?
On the other side,
Xu also registered a new account and only followed Jiang Fengyi.
She edited her first blog post only after changing the background to their marriage certificate.
I am not familiar with Miss Zhao; Jiang Fengyi was present at our few meetings.
Because Jiang Fengyi liked the post immediately, Xu Que's statement was seen by more people.
Once netizens understood the cause and effect, they realized they had wronged Jiang Fengyi, and naturally they would not let the instigator Zhao Ruxuan off the hook.
[They're desperate for fame, resorting to distorting the truth.]
[Isn't it a wonder that Jiang Fengyi dared to touch porcelain in the capital? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?]
[This young lady is really going all out to increase her exposure.]
Soon after, Zhao Ruxuan closed the comment section.
Here,
After sending the message, Xu turned off his phone and shifted his gaze from the screen to Jiang Fengyi.
The person in front of me was staring intently at a tablet, looking serious and focused, as if processing work emails.
But Xu knew that she was browsing her own homepage.
She pressed herself against him, squeezing between Jiang Fengyi and the tablet, forcing the other person to look at her.
"I'm right here, why do you keep staring at my account?"
Xu Que hadn't had time to manage her newly registered account, and with the system's default settings, she couldn't find anything about it that was worth Jiang Fengyi looking at for so long.
"Looking at the homepage background."
Xu excitedly said, "This is worth seeing. The background of the homepage is our wedding photo. Do you think the size I cropped is suitable?"
Jiang Fengyi's eyes never left her: "Suitable."
"Even if it's suitable, don't stare at it for too long."
Xu turned Jiang Fengyi's head around, making her look only at him.
"Isn't the real person more attractive than the photo?"
"She looks good in person, and she looks good in photos too."
She put down the tablet and kissed him.
The night is still long...
the next day,
Jiang Fengyi was almost late.
It's all Xu's fault for staying up too late last night!
But when she looked at Xu Que, who had also gotten up late, she couldn't bring herself to say anything to scold him. Instead, she chuckled as she watched Xu Que quickly change his clothes.
Xu, who was buttoning his clothes, looked over at the sound.
"What are you laughing at?"
She glanced down at her clothes, wondering if she had buttoned them up correctly.
Jiang Fengyi, half-sitting on the bed, shook her head with a smile: "You didn't wear the wrong clothes, it's your hair..."
Jiang Fengyi braced her arms on the soft bedsheets and moved her knees inch by inch toward Xu Que.
"...Hair sticking up."
The still-reddened arm brushed against Xu Que's cheek, then reached up to the top of his head, pressing down on that striking strand of curly hair, trying to smooth it out.
The thin blanket hanging on her shoulders slipped down, revealing more red spots on her body, but she seemed oblivious, her mind only on Xu Que's hair.
Jiang Fengyi moved her hand away, and the strand of hair that had been obedient for only a moment under her palm reverted to its old ways, sticking straight up into her palm.
She looked troubled: "Looks like I'll have to use a straightener to fix it."
Xu had already composed himself, his gaze subtly sweeping over the marks on Jiang Fengyi's body, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed the rising desire.
He slipped his arms under Jiang Fengyi's armpits, turned around, and lifted her off the bed.
Through a layer of dark hair, her trembling lips touched Jiang Fengyi's earlobe, and when she spoke, the hair around her lips was damp with a warm, moist scent.
We're going to be late!
The devilish whisper instantly roused Jiang Fengyi from her daze. She broke free from Xu Que's embrace and immediately ran to the dressing room to change her clothes.
*
The two entered the company right on time.
The busy work made both of them think of yesterday's trending topic. Jiang Fengyi was fine, but Xu was just wondering why there were so many more colleagues passing by her workstation today.
But the heavy workload left her no time to think about it carefully.
"Phew~"
Xu leaned back, raised his arms above his head, and stretched out a big yawn.
"Finally finished."
She glanced at the time; there was still an hour before she got off work in the afternoon. She went to the break room first to get Jiang Fengyi a cup of warm water before entering Jiang Fengyi's office.
I haven't seen my wife for most of the day, I miss her so much.
Are you still busy?
Jiang Fengyi looked up from behind the screen. The rimless glasses hanging on her nose reflected the faint blue light in front of the screen, as if they were applying a layer of blue eyeshadow to her.
"What do you want?"
Although the tone was somewhat flat, it seemed to tickle Xu Que's heart.
Jiang Fengyi at work particularly touched Xu Que's heart.
Behind the transparent lenses, a cold gaze swept over, and upon seeing who it was, the frozen lake instantly melted, and sunlight shone down, causing the clear, cold surface of the lake to shimmer with a faint golden light.
Jiang Fengyi's gaze softened, but the light deep within her pupils suddenly shone upon seeing the other person's figure, and her body involuntarily leaned forward in Xu Que's direction.
Xu approached with a glass of honey water and casually pulled up a chair to sit opposite Jiang Fengyi.
"I came in to check if you've forgotten to drink water because you're busy with work."
Jiang Fengyi turned her head to look at the coffee cup beside her; the dark brown liquid had barely gone down the mark.
Xu Que's voice continued: "It seems that not only did you forget to drink water, you didn't even have time to drink the coffee you made."
She stopped Jiang Fengyi, who wanted to drink coffee, and handed her the warm honey water instead.
"Drinking coffee at this hour will keep me awake at night."
Xu then said meaningfully, "Let's both go to bed early tonight."
Jiang Fengyi glanced at the door behind Xu Que and saw that the office door was tightly closed before taking the honey water from Xu Que's hand.
Take a sip, and a gentle warmth flows into your heart.
After the tea moistened her throat, Jiang Fengyi realized how thirsty she was.
How did you know I forgot to drink water?
Xu clenched his other fist and extended it toward her, replying, "We've been together for so long, of course I understand you."
Jiang Fengyi curiously tapped her fist.
What is it?
Open your palms up.
"A piece of dark chocolate to give you an energy boost."
Xu tore open the packaging for her and held it to Jiang Fengyi's lips.
"It's a bit bitter, but the sweet honey water balances it out perfectly."
"I didn't see you eat much at noon, you must be hungry now."
Jiang Fengyi took a small bite, and the silky and mellow cocoa aroma bloomed on her taste buds. As she continued to savor the aftertaste, a faint bitterness lingered at the back of her tongue.
Just as I was about to open my mouth, my tongue touched the moisture at the corner of my mouth, and the sweetness spread outwards, quickly covering the bitterness that had just arisen in my mouth.
Jiang Fengyi took another sip of honey water, the gentle sweetness filling her entire mouth.
"Won't it be too sweet?"
She heard Xu ask her.
"No, that's perfect..."
Jiang Fengyi suddenly felt a darkness in front of her.
The next moment, Xu leaned in and moved closer.
"Let me try it..."
As he whispered, his breath brushed against her face, and Jiang Fengyi's face flushed, followed by two blushes.
A kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.
"I think it's a little sweet." Xu smiled slightly. "Next time you can put in less honey."
She turned to her and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
“There really is one,” Jiang Fengyi, who was extremely busy, sent Xu Que a document. “Help me organize this data and make a simple chart for me.”
After finishing her work, Xu went to Jiang Fengyi's office to work overtime.
She moved a chair and sat next to her wife, so close that the wife could bump into her if she turned her chair around.
"There are clearly seats over there, why are they so close?"
Xu had been waiting for Jiang Fengyi to ask this question, and she personally demonstrated it.
"It's easier to collect my overtime pay if we're close by."
Overtime pay?
Jiang Fengyi was still wondering when she had given Xu Que overtime pay when the touch on her lips gave her the answer.
Xu placed his hand on the armrest of the chair, turned his head, and kissed Jiang Fengyi.
After collecting his overtime pay, Xu threw himself into his work with great enthusiasm.
Jiang Fengyi finished her work and it was time to leave. She stretched her stiff neck and turned her head to see Xu Que still typing on the keyboard next to her.
She blinked her tired eyes: "Is it not ready yet?"
That shouldn't be the case. Given Xu Que's work efficiency, he should have finished organizing it long ago.
"All organized!"
Xu looked up, but his fingers didn't stop typing.
Are you off work now?
"Um."
"Let's go then!"
Xu neatly shut down his computer, packed his things, and prepared to leave work.
Jiang Fengyi stood up: "Then what are you doing..."
Xu tapped on his phone screen and shared the homepage of the new account he had applied for last night with Jiang Fengyi.
"Look, so many people are paying attention to me?"
Jiang Fengyi glanced at her number of followers, and indeed, it was almost comparable to the number of followers of some small internet celebrities.
With a smile in her eyes, she said, "Many fans came from Little Green Book. They said they really enjoy reading our daily life updates and asked me to post more."
Xu packed her bag, took Jiang Fengyi's hand, and walked out with light steps. The ends of her hair swayed rhythmically with her steps, telling of her joy at that moment.
She suddenly stopped, and Jiang Fengyi behind her thought she had left something behind.
"Forgot something? Let me help you..."
Xu turned around, cupped Jiang Fengyi's cheek, closed his eyes, and kissed her.
Jiang Fengyi still had the lingering sweetness of honey water on her lips and teeth, and she was forced to pass it on to the other person. This time, however, Xu did not stop at just a taste, but persevered in his research.
She had thoroughly savored the sweetness of the honey water, yet she remained unsatisfied, continuing to stir everything in the cramped, confined space, desperately trying to find even more sweetness.
While the sweetness of honey water was not found, Xu discovered other, even more addictive sweetness.
An indescribable, barely suppressed sob echoed in the empty office, much like the head of a groundhog that peeked out and immediately retreated.
Pian Xu deliberately wanted to hear Jiang Fengyi make some noise, and increased the stirring motion of his tongue.
"Da da da—"
Their seats were very close to the office door, and Jiang Fengyi could clearly hear the footsteps outside getting closer and closer.
Someone's there!
The office door was unlocked.
Her heart pounded higher and higher, and her grip on Xu Que's collar tightened.
"Relax."
Xu pried open Jiang Fengyi's fingers, which were almost pinching his palm, and forcefully squeezed his fingertips between her fingers, interlocking their fingers.
She reached behind her with her other hand, found the doorknob, and gently turned it to lock the door. Only she could hear the soft "click" of the lock.
Jiang Fengyi's heart was in her throat. In desperation, she bit Xu Que's tongue, thinking that this would make him stop.
"Da da da—"
The footsteps faded into the distance.
It turned out that someone was just passing by outside the door.
Jiang Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief.
The stinging sensation on the tip of his tongue actually piqued Xu Que's interest.
