Chapter 10 Changing Clothes
After driving for a while, the car merged into the city's evening rush hour traffic.
Li Jichuan had just finished replying to two emails on his phone. He tried to hold back, but he couldn't stand the scorching gaze from the person next to him, which felt like a small furnace.
"What's up?"
He finally couldn't help but ask.
A phone was quickly handed to me; the little stove was already prepared.
Could you drop me off at the next intersection? I need to go home and change my clothes; I'm going to see my grandfather tonight, and I don't look good in this outfit...
He was still thinking about meeting his parents that evening.
Li Jichuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that there was indeed such a thing, and closed his eyes to calm down.
"address."
Su Pu was confused and typed a question mark.
Li Jichuan repeated, "Your home address."
"Give the address to the driver, and I'll take you home first."
Su Pu: !!!
...
Su Pu's rented room is located on the first floor of an old residential building, a typical partitioned room.
The bathroom and kitchen are shared with four other households, and they are always dirty and have their own odors.
Su Pu's cheeks flushed red. She pushed open the bathroom door with a creak, then quickly moved away from the narrow door frame.
The aisle was narrow and dimly lit. Su Pu stopped and made a "please" gesture.
In response to Li Jichuan's sudden request to "go to your house to use the restroom".
As expected, Li Jichuan's face was full of undisguised disgust; he had probably never seen such a dirty and messy space before.
Su Pu has only been gone for a day, and this place is already so dirty that you can't even step inside.
How embarrassing.
At this moment, Su Pu wished he were an ostrich, burying his head in the sand and never coming out again.
Would Li Jichuan think he was just as sloppy and dirty?
Would you find him repulsive? Would you think he smells bad?
Su Pu didn't dare to think any further.
"Actually, I'm not in a huge rush," Li Jichuan coughed. "Go change your clothes, I'll wait for you in the car. Take your time."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was suddenly flung open from the outside, and a series of laughs mixed with foul talk poured into the room.
She is one of Su Pu's roommates, and the most difficult one to deal with.
Hearing the commotion, he had brought his gang of cronies home again.
This guy always jokes about Su Pu's inability to speak. If he saw Li Jichuan in a wheelchair, he might tease him a lot.
Su Pu didn't want Li Jichuan to be sad, nor did she want him to hear any foul language, so her body acted before her mind, pushing him, wheelchair and all, into her room.
Then he turned around, closed the door, and locked it, creating the illusion that he was not home.
Before Li Jichuan could react, his wheelchair blocked the only passageway in the less than ten-square-meter room, which was spotless and clean.
It's a completely different world from the outside.
“Su Pu, we…”
Su Pu rolled over on the small bed and came to the opposite side of him, making a "shh" gesture at him.
Li Jichuan immediately fell silent, mouthing the question, "Who's here?"
【roommate】
Li Jichuan followed local customs and took out his phone to type, and the two communicated silently.
[What are you afraid of, roommate?]
Su Pu: [It's not that I'm afraid...]
The group of people walked through the corridor, passing Su Pu's room, their fingers intentionally or unintentionally brushing against the door, leaving unpleasant knocking sounds.
"Zhang, isn't that mute guy home today?"
The one called "Da Zhang" was Su Pu's roommate, whose real name was Zhang Da. He lived next door to Su Pu and kicked open his door with a bang.
"Shut the fuck up."
"Oh, Zhang, you're feeling sorry for him?"
His buddies had no intention of letting him off the hook.
"Zhang has been pursuing me for about half a year now, and he still hasn't won me over?"
"How can you talk like that? My brother Zhang just wants to be gentle and chivalrous and doesn't have the heart to force himself on you."
"So what if he's strong? He's a mute, what can he do but scream himself hoarse?"
The lewd laughter mixed with curses penetrated the walls and reached Li Jichuan and Su Pu's ears without missing a single word.
"That's outrageous!" Li Jichuan remotely controlled his wheelchair, wanting to go out and argue with them.
Su Pu quickly grabbed the handrails on both sides, desperately trying to stop him from leaving, shaking her head and urging him to let it go.
"You just let them talk about you like that?"
Su Pu shook her head again, switched to typing with one hand, and kept gripping Li Jichuan's wheelchair with the other.
I was afraid he would come looking for me.
It's alright, just let them talk. Arguing won't help.
Li Jichuan frowned, looking somewhat frightening.
Su Pu's expression clearly became troubled.
Fortunately, the group next door started joking around again, with someone urging Zhang to start a group buy quickly.
The next second, a loud, deep bass roared from next door, so loud it could drown out any other sound.
Li Jichuan looked at Su Pu with a hint of exasperation, "Can I go back to the car now?"
Otherwise, I really couldn't resist the urge to go over and argue with them.
Li Jichuan wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, but since his spouse was unable to speak, he felt obligated to help protect her.
Why would Su Pu, who is also a man, allow these people to verbally bully and harass him? They passed by so many houses without hearing any noise, so why did one or two of them deliberately knock on Su Pu's door?
Li Jichuan realized that Su Pu was not only submissive to himself, but also to the world.
That's why I've encountered so much unfair treatment.
On the contrary, no one had ever dared to bully Li Jichuan since he was a child.
Besides his illustrious background, he also established a very strong set of boundaries for himself.
He first erected a high wall to the world and told everyone that this place was off-limits.
Then he tries his best to maintain this boundary so that he can create a powerful aura and make everyone keep their distance from him.
Li Jichuan wasn't without empathy; he certainly understood that his prestige largely stemmed from the support of his family. This wasn't something everyone possessed.
However, this was the first time he had ever met someone like Su Pu, who had no boundaries and didn't even think about retaliating after being taken advantage of.
What kind of past does Su Pu, who dares not offend even a roommate or a customer who orders coffee, have?
It has to be said that Li Jichuan began to be curious.
On the other side, Su Pu was about to take Li Jichuan out when she heard the door next door open and someone enter the bathroom.
Immediately, a gasp came from the bathroom.
"Damn it, Zhang, how long has it been since you cleaned your toilet? It's covered in cigarette ash!"
"Hey, 'Snail Boy' isn't home, huh? Haven't you noticed Zhang's been wearing a long face the whole time?"
"Brother Zhang, could it be that Little Mute has someone else?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Da finally spoke.
"Shut the fuck up! If you can do it, then do it; if you can't, then shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
The person in the bathroom finally closed the door, and a series of mocking sounds came from next door.
Su Pu met Li Jichuan's eyes; the little mute's eyes were too beautiful.
Beautiful enough to convey one's feelings.
Let's go together after I've changed.
Before Li Jichuan could respond, Su Pu turned around first, rushed to the fabric wardrobe, and ripped open the zipper with a whoosh.
Inside were several clean and neatly made sets of clothes. Su Pu picked out the most expensive one and held it in her arms.
Then he climbed over the small bed again and came to the back of Li Jichuan's wheelchair.
The loud music was deafening, and the intense drumbeats reverberated in their hearts.
Despite the noise, Li Jichuan could still hear the rustling of clothes behind him.
So subtle, yet so captivating.
Li Jichuan felt a little hot.
After a rustling sound, Su Pu deftly took off his pants.
