Chapter 81
Xu Qingzhou didn't expect that what made Chi Jun unhappy all night would be this very issue.
She looked at Chi Jun and noticed that although his expression was calm, there was a faint light in his eyes. That light was very bright, as if it wanted to shine into her eyes and see through all her little thoughts.
The skin felt noticeably warm to the touch.
Chi Jun cupped her face in his hands, forcing her to look him in the eye, as if afraid she would run away or trying to avoid the question.
This action reminded Xu Qingzhou of the kiss he had just dodged.
Actually, after being with Chi Jun, although life didn't change much in general, many small details were different. For example, Chi Jun would joke with her more unrestrainedly, would casually and naturally do some intimate things to her, and even... grab her and kiss her without warning.
She had never been in a relationship before, and many times when faced with this situation, she felt nervous and happy, but she would also instinctively feel a little lost, blush, and avoid it.
However, now that I think about it, these are probably the reasons why Chi Jun had this question.
She looked at Chi Jun and suddenly felt a little sorry and a little sorry for him.
Chi Jun noticed a change in the girl's expression, and his hand, which was cupping Xu Qingzhou's face, stiffened slightly.
He couldn't stand the way she looked at him.
It was as if he were a very pitiful person.
She only felt pity for him.
It wasn't love.
Chi Jun looked up at the night outside the door, then suddenly sighed, feeling utterly pathetic.
So what if I don't like it?
Since she's already accepted being with him, there's no way she can escape.
Even if he couldn't win her heart, at least he still had her as a person.
Either way, you're not at a loss.
After thinking about it in such a shameless and scoundrel-like way, Chi Jun felt a little better and made up his mind to put this troublesome matter behind him from now on.
Unexpectedly, just as he let go and was about to straighten up, he suddenly felt a cool sensation on both sides of his cheeks.
Xu Qingzhou turned around, cupped his face in her hands, and before Chi Jun could react, quickly stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his lips for a long time.
Chi Jun was stunned.
He looked down at the little girl after she finished kissing him. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, but she still tried to purse her lips and bravely met his gaze with her wet eyes, as if she was saying something to him in silence.
In an instant, all the pent-up frustration in my heart vanished like smoke.
Chi Jun's lips curled into a wild smile, but he still turned his head to restrain himself, then turned back and asked knowingly:
"Xu Qingzhou, what are you doing?"
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
Isn't that obvious enough?
She looked helplessly at Chi Jun and found that he could no longer suppress his smile, and his eyes were also filled with laughter, but he was still pretending.
I'm just messing with her...
Xu Qingzhou didn't answer and turned to leave.
But Chi Jun grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
"He hasn't answered me yet."
Chi Jun gently pinched her chin and brought his face close to hers.
A soft voice lingered in her ear, making Xu Qingzhou blush so deeply that even the tips of her ears and neck turned red. However, her desperate struggles were in vain; Chi Jun insisted on an answer. She could only hold back for a while, and finally, with a red face, she lowered her eyelids and quickly mouthed two words—"I like you."
"Huh?" Chi Jun feigned ignorance: "I don't understand."
"..."
She started twisting her body again.
Chi Jun laughed, took the paper and pen from Xu Qingzhou's pocket, and slapped them into her hand:
Write it down.
Xu Qingzhou stared at him, pouting and refusing to write.
Chi Jun, however, was very patient. He simply took two steps back and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling Xu Qingzhou close to him. Shamelessly, he said:
"You're not allowed to leave until you write it down."
"..."
Remembering the pile of test papers still in his schoolbag, Xu Qingzhou sighed.
He could only lower his head and write on the paper:
Because I like it
Chi Jun's smile widened:
What do you like?
I like you
With a flushed face, Xu Qingzhou had just finished writing the last word when he was suddenly pulled away by a strong force.
The paper and pen in his hand instantly fell to the ground.
Chi Jun pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her. The sudden kiss startled her, but she recovered in a few seconds, bursting forth with a numbing passion and heat. Xu Qingzhou was forced to sit on Chi Jun's lap, her entire upper body leaning back, held by Chi Jun's strong arms.
Unlike the light or playful kisses of the past, Chi Jun's kissing offensive was now filled with domineering possessiveness, surging in wave after wave, forcing Xu Qingzhou to be swept up in it, with no chance to catch her breath.
Xu Qingzhou felt numb all over, her head spinning from the kiss, unable to see anything. She didn't know how much time had passed before Chi Jun finally pulled away slightly, his head pressed against her forehead, his eyes still brimming with lingering affection, his voice low and husky, yet smug and relaxed:
"I knew it, that idiot male ghost was talking nonsense."
He pinched her cheek as he spoke.
It turned out the male ghost had said something...
Xu Qingzhou suddenly realized.
But recalling the look in Chi Jun's eyes at the beginning of tonight—
She couldn't help but turn her head away and secretly smile.
They were clearly suspicious at first, but now they're being stubborn.
"why are you laughing?"
Chi Jun grabbed her chin and interrogated her.
Xu Qingzhou quickly shook his head.
"You're lying to me."
Xu Qingzhou shook his head, suppressing a laugh.
Chi Jun pretended to punish her with a kiss, and Xu Qingzhou laughed and tried to dodge. After a struggle and playful fight, she was finally caught and shamelessly kissed by Chi Jun before he finally let her go, satisfied.
"Go on, I'm going to take a shower."
Xu Qingzhou was panting and didn't move for a moment.
Chi Jun raised an eyebrow: "What, you want to continue?"
Xu Qingzhou's eyes widened, and she quickly pushed him away, turning around and running towards the small desk without saying a word.
Chi Jun braced himself against the bed with both hands, watching her fleeing figure in a panic. He slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand and chuckled softly.
*
Although Chi Jun is now a long-term resident, Xu Qingzhou has been too busy with his studies lately, and the landlord rarely comes over, so Xu Qingzhou hasn't had a chance to ask the landlord to get another shower card.
Seeing that Chi Jun had returned after taking a shower, Xu Qingzhou temporarily put down her pen, grabbed her pajamas, and went to take a shower as well.
As she was leaving with toiletries, Chi Jun was drying his hair when he suddenly called out to her.
"Zhouzhou."
Xu Qingzhou turned around.
Why didn't you explain when your classmate misunderstood me as your brother tonight?
So he heard it.
Xu Qingzhou paused for a few seconds, then honestly replied: "I thought you didn't want others to know about us."
Chi Jun raised an eyebrow in surprise:
Why wouldn't I want to?
Xu Qingzhou pursed his lips hesitantly and wrote:
Some people might gossip or spread rumors.
Chi Jun understood.
Because they had always claimed to be siblings, their sudden transformation into a couple has inevitably sparked a lot of rumors and gossip.
"Are you scared?" Chi Jun asked her.
Xu Qingzhou shook his head decisively without any hesitation.
After her grandmother passed away, she had no relatives left in this world; only Chi Jun was by her side from beginning to end. Therefore, the only person she cared about was Chi Jun.
She didn't care what others said.
Chi Jun has not told his friends about their relationship. Xu Qingzhou has thought about it privately, but he probably doesn't want to make it public. After all, many people in the city remember the two of them as "brother and sister," and suddenly they become lovers, which will inevitably lead to gossip.
She understood and was willing to cooperate.
However, the thought that she couldn't openly speak and act as Chi Jun's girlfriend occasionally made her feel a little wronged.
However, compared to Chi Jun, these things seem less important.

Although it was already late spring, the mornings and evenings in early April were still a bit chilly.
After taking a shower, Xu Qingzhou came out in his pajamas and walked back to his small rented room in the night, his skin covered in goosebumps from the cold.
Fortunately, the cabin was warm. Xu Qingzhou closed the door and put on a cardigan before drying her hair.
Chi Jun leaned against the headboard, casually hugging a pillow, cross-legged and playing on his phone. The phone's keyboard made a clattering sound as he tapped away, accompanied by a series of WeChat message notifications.
I don't know who she's chatting with.
When their eyes met, Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but recall the kiss from half an hour ago, and her face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment. She quickly looked away.
Chi Jun chuckled, but didn't tease her any further, and naturally put his phone on silent.
The "click" and "ding-dong" sounds disappeared instantly.
Xu Qingzhou finished drying his hair, sat down at his small desk, and began taking out workbooks and test papers from his schoolbag.
Looking up, I noticed her phone was placed right in the middle of the desk.
Xu Qingzhou frowned in confusion.
Shouldn't the phone be in my bag? How did it get out?
However, she didn't think much of it. She just unconsciously took out her phone when she came back and then forgot about it.
She casually placed her phone in the corner of the small desk and opened the exam paper.
I had just picked up the pen when my phone screen suddenly lit up.
A message has come in.
Aside from Chi Jun, no one usually contacts her on her phone, so Xu Qingzhou just assumed it was some unimportant message and didn't bother to check it.
Unexpectedly, the phone screen was still lit after I finished answering the question.
The screen kept flashing as messages kept coming in.
Xu Qingzhou found it strange and had no choice but to take the phone away.
I was shocked when I opened it.
She only has about twenty friends on WeChat. Apart from Zheng Yangshu and a few classmates, the vast majority are still friends from Chi Jun's side, such as Li Rui and Wang Shuai.
Normally, only Chi Jun would contact her, or Zheng Yangshu would occasionally pop up; she had never seen so many people messaging her at the same time before.
From top to bottom, it's all chat boxes.
A bunch of red unread message notifications.
Xu Qingzhou almost thought there was a bug in the phone, and clicked in with suspicion.
The first one is Wang Shuai.
What he saw was a bunch of question marks, which made Xu Qingzhou's head spin with a huge question mark as well.
【？？？】
【？？？？？？】
[Are you serious? What exactly happened? That scoundrel Xu Jun loves to joke around, I don't believe him, sister, explain yourself!]
I'm starting to suspect I'm hallucinating from the fever!
The last message had barely appeared when it was quickly retracted.
Soon a new, edited message arrived, this time with the profanities and catchphrases removed.
I'm starting to suspect I'm hallucinating from the fever!
If it were just Wang Shuai alone, Xu Qingzhou would suspect that he might have been tricked by Chi Jun earlier and was now coming to her to verify something.
But then I remembered all those unread messages on the homepage...
Xu Qingzhou decisively exited the chat page and went to Moments.
The interface refreshed.
The next second, they were stunned.
The screen showed that Chi Jun posted a message on his WeChat Moments fifteen minutes ago.
The accompanying picture is probably taken in winter. In the photo, she is wearing a fluffy white cotton coat, a red tiger hat on her head, and holding two fairy wands. She is smiling faintly with her eyes lowered under the night sky.
Xu Qingzhou had no idea when Chi Jun had secretly taken this photo.
But that's not the point; it's the copywriting that Chi Jun provided.
Just one sentence—
Let me introduce you, this is my lovely and charming girlfriend.
More than a dozen mutual friends have already liked this post.
The comments section was filled with countless neatly arranged question marks...
