What Should I do After Binding the Wrong System and the Female Lead comes Knocking at my Door? - Chapter 44

Over the next few days, Pei Yuanxi and Gu Qing stayed cozy at home, enjoying their little life together.

Bai Zhou and Wen Liang had tried several times to invite Pei Yuanxi out to meet, saying they had some local specialties to give her, but Pei Yuanxi refused each time.

Those two definitely wanted to trap her, their leader! She wouldn’t even open the door if they came to her house.

After the New Year, the housekeeper wanted to come back to work, but Pei Yuanxi didn’t allow it.

She really loved the daily routine of cooking and doing housework with Gu Qing, so no one was allowed to disturb their two-person world.

Right now, Gu Qing was busy in the kitchen, and Pei Yuanxi glanced out, sitting at the kitchen doorway sketching.

“Lunch will be stewed ribs, and for dinner, rib noodles?”

Pei Yuanxi pouted, holding a brush between her nose and mouth, looking Gu Qing over seriously.

“Ah Qing, come look!”

When Gu Qing came over, Pei Yuanxi showed her the drawing, proudly explaining the thoughts behind the piece, ending with a hopeful smile: “How is it? Not too bad, right?”

Gu Qing looked at the painting of herself and nodded slightly.

“It’s pretty decent.”

Pei Yuanxi: …

She clearly wanted praise!

“Do you want me to say it’s good?” Gu Qing teased.

Gu Qing easily saw the awkward smile on Pei Yuanxi’s face. She pointed to the painting in her hand:

“If you say you’re an abstract artist, then maybe I can force myself to praise it.”

It wasn’t that Gu Qing didn’t want to praise Pei Yuanxi, but seeing a scorpion-like figure resembling herself in the painting made it hard to open her mouth.

“I think it’s pretty good. You have to consider my situation I only started learning to draw a few days ago,” Pei Yuanxi mumbled.

In the past few days, she’d been searching for drawing tutorials online and buying various tools. It was all very hard work!

All to paint something Gu Qing could keep forever.

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then surprisingly nodded: “Hmm, you’re right. Compared to the first day, at least now your drawing shows I’m a living creature. There’s progress. I’ll reward you with an extra rib tonight.”

Pei Yuanxi silently watched Gu Qing return to the kitchen. This was not what she had imagined.

She thought Gu Qing would praise the painting no matter what, like those couples on TV who always ate each other’s bad cooking with a straight face and thumbs up.

Single people and those in love see things differently.

Before, Pei Yuanxi scoffed at such scenes. Now, she analyzed them frame by frame.

But Gu Qing still didn’t follow the script…

No matter, at least Gu Qing gave her an extra rib, right?

After tidying up her drawing board, Pei Yuanxi eagerly went into the kitchen to help.

“Slap!”

“Go wash your hands!”

Gu Qing finally understood why Pei Muchan always saw Pei Yuanxi as a child.

Before, Gu Qing thought it was natural for an older sister to treat her younger sister that way, but now she understood Pei Yuanxi was really unreliable sometimes.

Just now, Pei Yuanxi almost used her paint-covered paws to chop vegetables. Gu Qing hit her paw and made her laugh before she realized.

Gu Qing chuckled: “Pei Yuanxi, you’re such a fool.”

Pei Yuanxi pretended not to hear and continued washing her hands. Then she casually asked:

“Ah Qing, when can I ring the bell?”

Gu Qing froze, turning around to give Pei Yuanxi a sly look:

“What do you want?”

“Hmm.”

“Hmm?” Gu Qing thought for a moment and finally understood what that “Hmm” meant.

“Pei Yuanxi!”

Pei Yuanxi shivered and thought she was doomed.

But don’t blame her! Since New Year’s Eve, she’d gotten a bit addicted. When she tried to get close to Gu Qing afterward, Gu Qing didn’t allow it.

At first, Pei Yuanxi thought it was just because New Year’s Eve was too intense and Gu Qing needed time to recover, but after so many days, Gu Qing still wouldn’t.

Gu Qing wasn’t unwilling she planned to play the teacher role to woo Pei Yuanxi, after all, there should be give and take.

But all the express deliveries were closed for the holiday, and buying things in person was awkward with Pei Yuanxi around.

So Gu Qing could only drag it out, waiting for the delivery.

She just forgot about Pei Yuanxi’s feelings…

Gu Qing chuckled softly: “Come walk with me tonight.”

Pei Yuanxi didn’t know why the topic suddenly changed but nodded in agreement.

Late at night.

After dinner, the two walked slowly, wandering until they unexpectedly came to the front of an adult store.

“Cough cough.”

Gu Qing turned her head, a bit embarrassed, whispering: “You go find a place with no people to wait for me first.”

Pei Yuanxi’s heart jumped with joy. She nodded quickly:

“Okay, okay, go ahead!”

So that’s why Gu Qing said “walk tonight”! If she’d known, she wouldn’t have eaten so much!

Better to save her appetite for Gu Xiao Qing!

Pei Yuanxi watched Gu Qing enter the store, then turned to a quiet alley.

She knew her face was too recognizable. No matter how well she covered up, someone would recognize her, especially during the holiday.

Gu Qing was less known; only Pei Yuanxi’s Weibo had some photos of her, so not many people would recognize Gu Qing.

Pei Yuanxi entered the dark alley and suddenly saw someone standing suspiciously, heavily covered up.

She adjusted her mask, about to leave, when a voice came from inside the alley:

“Yuanxi?”

Pei Yuanxi froze.

That voice…

Wasn’t it Wen Liang?

She wanted to pretend not to know him and turn away, but Wen Liang said:

“Don’t pretend. I know it’s you.”

Pei Yuanxi awkwardly cleared her throat, then reluctantly walked toward Wen Liang.

“What are you doing here?”

“Waiting for Ah Zhou. You?”

“Waiting for Ah Qing.”

They looked at each other.

Meanwhile, Gu Qing opened the store door and saw Bai Zhou, who was paying for a big pile of things.

Bai Zhou and Gu Qing: …

Bai Zhou smiled awkwardly: “Haha… what a coincidence…”

Gu Qing: “Yeah… quite a coincidence. I thought you lived far from here, how come you’re here?”

“It’s because I know everyone where I live. Almost everyone recognizes me, so Ah Zhou and I just came out to play and ended up here,” Wen Liang explained to Pei Yuanxi.

He then whispered to Pei Yuanxi: “Anything good to recommend?”

Gu Qing was surprised and pointed to Bai Zhou’s huge pile: “Good stuff? I think I should ask you.”

Bai Zhou hid the goods behind her back: “Uh, never mind, I’m going.”

Gu Qing wanted her to leave quickly; otherwise, she would feel awkward going to get the uniform in front of Bai Zhou.

But Bai Zhou and Wen Liang played so hard. How could they possibly use all that stuff?

Pei Yuanxi wondered the same.

She looked at Bai Zhou walking over and asked.

Wen Liang patted Pei Yuanxi’s shoulder: “Sister, you don’t get it. Some things you don’t have to wear or use, but you can’t be without them. It’s better to be prepared.”

After that, Wen Liang walked to Bai Zhou. The two stuck together, taking a taxi home. Nobody knew whose house.

Pei Yuanxi felt sentimental. Judging by how clingy they were, their relationship must have improved a lot. All thanks to her!

And now they wanted to get back at her—so ungrateful.

At that moment, Gu Qing also came out holding an opaque bag.

“Let’s go.”

Pei Yuanxi curiously glanced at the bag: “What did you buy?”

Gu Qing glanced at her:

“You’re curious now, but you won’t be able to wear it. You’ll know tonight.”

Pei Yuanxi was satisfied.

She got the answer she wanted.

Gu Qing would wear it, and Yuanxi could just enjoy in bed~

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned…

Back home, Gu Qing immediately chased Pei Yuanxi to take a shower.

There were two bathrooms in the villa, so the awkward situation from before at the old home wouldn’t happen again.

Pei Yuanxi was a bit sad.

Not for any other reason but because she wanted to scrub Ah Qing’s back.

After showering, Pei Yuanxi opened the bedroom door and found the lights off. On both nightstands, candles were burning fiercely.

Her heart beating fast, Pei Yuanxi sniffed:

“Xiao Qing Qing… are you here?”

Right after she called out, she felt a sharp pain behind her and shouted “Ouch~!”

Turning around in the candlelight, Pei Yuanxi saw Gu Qing wearing a white half-shirt, a pencil skirt, and 15D black stockings.

Gu Qing had frameless glasses on and was holding a pointer, tapping Pei Yuanxi’s chin.

Pei Yuanxi swallowed nervously.

“Ah Qing… ouch!”

Gu Qing’s lips parted lightly: “How many times have I told you, you have to call me teacher in class.”

“Some students are just naughty, disrespecting the teacher, so the teacher can only punish them a little~”

Pei Yuanxi held her bottom, slowly backing away.

“Calm down… ah… Teacher Gu, please calm down!”

Gu Qing lightly pushed Pei Yuanxi onto the bed, then crossed one leg showing her red-soled high heels.

“Are my shoes pretty?”

Pei Yuanxi’s eyes sparkled, eager to nod.

“Teacher Gu!”

“Hmm? Is there a problem, student Yuanxi?”

Pei Yuanxi took a deep breath:

“Teacher Gu, step on me!”

“Ahhh!”

“Step on me!”

Gu Qing was amused by Pei Yuanxi’s reaction and leaned on her, lowering her voice:

“Student Yuanxi, are you a pervert?”

Pei Yuanxi’s gaze couldn’t help but wander from the white shirt’s neckline inward.

Who turned on my auto-aim?!

“Do you want Teacher Gu to step on you?”

Pei Yuanxi eagerly nodded.

“Then help Teacher take off the high heels, okay?”

The good student raised her hand and asked: “Can’t I not take them off?”

Teacher Gu frowned and sat upright on Yuanxi’s waist, sliding the pointer down Yuanxi’s swan neck.

Firmly said: “I said, help me take off the heels.”

Student Yuanxi said she was a good student and must listen, so she sat up and hugged Teacher Gu, helping to take off the high heels.

Teacher Gu nodded approvingly.

“Very good.”

“Then, Teacher Gu, what next?”

“Next… next, Teacher Gu is going to start class…”
