- Chapter 23.1 - Sweet Story About a Recomposed Family
The quiet night carried an aura of peace. Chi Xia, who enjoyed being alone, routinely began inspecting the diary written by Fang Yuqing. She was a person who strived to do everything to the absolute limit of perfection; even though it was a deliberate request from Chi Xia, Fang Yuqing still treated writing the diary as a very important matter.
This writing had gone on for six consecutive days. Today was Saturday, and it was once again time to display the diary. Therefore, Chi Xia chose to drink coffee while reading it, curious about how she would twist her words to scold her in the diary today. This had already become a major pleasure for Chi Xia; with her around, her heart seemed as though it would no longer receive the exhaustion coming from work.
Chi Xia leisurely clicked open the picture sent by Fang Yuqing. At the very beginning, her expression was still quite normal, but as the handwriting came into view, her face flushed and her ears burned so much that she could not sit still. She stood straight up, pointed at her phone, and began to scold.
A face like a lotus, so delicately beautiful that she did not seem like a mortal. Her pair of bright, beautiful peach blossom eyes had also become bashful at this moment. In addition to her shock, even her heartbeat made a sound, making it impossible for Chi Xia to ignore the abnormality inside her body.
“My dear Lady Sister, this is the sixth day you have been gone. I think of you day and night, looking forward to you returning home early. I don’t know if you have been mistreated while working outside, but I think Lady Sister is so powerful that she only has the role of scolding others, so how could she possibly suffer any grievances? Compared to the brilliant and mighty Lady Sister, I seem to be even more pitiful. Not to mention being tired from work, after returning home, I still have to write a diary for Lady Sister. I know you miss me and yearn for me very much while away from home, but you can’t reward me because of this and make me write a diary, right? I understand Lady Sister is doing this so that I won’t forget you, so when are you coming home? My hand hurts so much…”
In fact, the diary written by Fang Yuqing had another reader, and that was No. 009. Today, it originally did not intend to watch; anyway, it was all words scolding Chi Xia, nothing special, so it came to say a word to Chi Xia and then slip away to play games. However, Chi Xia’s reaction was too big, and it was very rare to see her have such a side, to the point that she could not even hold her spoon steadily, so No. 009 knew there must be gossip in this!
It was a machine, a product possessing wisdom. Reading ten lines at a glance and having a superhuman memory were merely its basic settings. Even if Chi Xia turned off the phone quickly, it could not escape a single glance of No. 009’s scan.
No. 009 loved to watch a scene when things got messy. It read it out loud with a blazing fast word speed. Seeing Chi Xia’s face grow redder and redder, it hid inside the system space and giggled loudly.
The louder its laughter grew, the uglier Chi Xia’s expression became.
Chi Xia crossed her arms over her chest, raised her face, and said with an air of complete nonchalance, “Don’t look at how many sweet words Fang Yuqing wrote; isn’t the central idea still scolding me?”
“But she called you Lady Sister, pfft, hahahaha! I think she is really so interesting. I thought she would always submissively write the diary.”
Listening to that ambiguous title, it felt as though a tender sprout had grown upon the tip of Chi Xia’s heart, itching unbearably, needing sweet rain to irrigate it, and that title was the sweet rain to soothe the tender sprout. This teasing sensation was something Chi Xia was experiencing for the first time. She did not want No. 009 to discover it, so she snorted coldly without changing her expression and said, “I anticipated her resistance long ago, this is nothing.”
“Yikes, before talking big, can you please hide your ears well? They are so red they are about to drip blood. Xiaxia, you really are something. What grand scenes haven’t you seen, yet a tiny diary has shamed you into this state? Take a piece of advice from me: fall in love some other day, grasp both career and love with both hands, I believe in your strength!”
Chi Xia touched her own ear, her eyes looking at the screen-locked phone with lingering desire. She had never encountered such a “surprise” before, and no one had ever spoken such words to her so directly. Her icy heart seemed to be taken into a pair of soft hands and held in an embrace. No wonder humans liked to hear sweet words; hearing these words, even if it was scolding oneself, it was very hard to give rise to a trace of anger.
She suddenly saw the light, finally realizing what Fang Yuqing’s trick was.
How could Chi Xia listen to No. 009’s words? All she thought about was Fang Yuqing.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up. She looked closely, and it turned out to be a question asked by Fang Yuqing while knowingly feigning ignorance.
“Is Lady Sister still satisfied with my performance today~”
The blush that Chi Xia had managed to suppress with great difficulty surged up once again. With a stern and serious face, she picked up her phone and replied to Fang Yuqing without admitting defeat. If one did not look at her earlobes hidden beneath her black hair, they would probably be deceived by her deadpan seriousness.
“Not as good as the previous few days.”
“??”
Looking at the question marks she sent, Chi Xia suddenly felt refreshed, feeling that she had won back a round. She never took a loss, and this matter was no exception.
“Didn’t you say you missed me very much? When I get back, let’s see how you express your longing for me.”
“Fang Yuqing, I look forward to your performance very much.”
“By the way, don’t forget tomorrow’s diary either.”
Seeing the chat box display “The other party is typing,” Chi Xia knew that she must be frantically typing words to scold her. It didn’t matter; Chi Xia felt happy even being scolded, after all, she had already blocked Fang Yuqing until she was speechless.
She pursed her lips and smiled; who told her to purposely write these flesh-creeping words to tease her?
Chi Xia waited for the other party’s long essay, but unexpectedly, Fang Yuqing did not walk the ordinary path and threw a video call over. Chi Xia decisively picked it up and asked leisurely, “You really are not anxious at all about tomorrow’s diary.”
Fang Yuqing was sitting on a chair. Judging from the height of the phone, it should have been placed on a stand, so both of her hands were propping up her cheeks, her watery eyes looking intently at Chi Xia. Hearing her provocation, Fang Yuqing smiled softly, her red lips curving slightly up, looking to be in a very good mood, not angered by Chi Xia at all.
Having not seen each other for days, Chi Xia seemed to have lost some weight, but her gaze was sharp, and her aura was full of power when she was not smiling. It was just that right now, she had weakened her momentum and restrained all of her sharp edges. She took a sip of coffee, picked up the spoon that had fallen onto the floor, wiped it with a tissue, and acted in a slow and unhurried manner. One could not see at all that beforehand, her face had been flushed red and she had lost her composure because of Fang Yuqing.
The lamp next to the office desk was turned on, but it was not bright, having been deliberately dimmed a bit by Chi Xia, so Fang Yuqing could not see the abnormality on her face clearly.
Just as the two of them were quietly looking at each other, Fang Yuqing slightly opened her red lips and said, “The Lady Sister in the night is truly beautiful.”
It was also Fang Yuqing’s first time doing this kind of thing. Since the words had already started the scene, how could there be any reason to take them back? It was very cringey, yes, but after saying the first sentence, Fang Yuqing seemed to be afraid of nothing. She leaned a bit closer and said sweetly, “Lady Sister is completely right. I really do miss you. When are you coming back? I already wrote tomorrow’s diary long ago. Does Sister want to hear it? I can read it to you personally right now.”
Seeing her motion to get the diary notebook, Chi Xia hurriedly called a stop and said, “No, no, no, no need to read it!”
If the text version had a lethality of fifty percent, then the involved person calling out “Lady Sister” in person absolutely had a lethality as high as one hundred percent!
Chi Xia licked her lips, pretending to be calm as she said, “No need to read it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
“You really don’t want to hear it?” Fang Yuqing asked back with disappointment, the craftiness in her eyes impossible to hide. This plot really had an effect! She knew a character like Chi Xia could least tolerate sweet words. Don’t think she couldn’t see Chi Xia’s stiffness; from the point that Chi Xia spoke loudly, Fang Yuqing knew she had won.
Chi Xia nodded silently, turned her face away to not look at Fang Yuqing, raised her coffee, and downed it in one gulp.
“Lady Sister, we agreed on a one-week business trip, when are you coming back?”
Chi Xia glared at her fiercely, her eyebrows and eyes charming, unable to show a trace of coldness, which was why Fang Yuqing was not afraid of her.
Chi Xia said crossly, “You are not allowed to call me that.”
“Which one is ‘that’?” Fang Yuqing held back a smile to tease her.
Chi Xia placed the coffee heavily on the table and protested, “Don’t you think that is very shameful?!”
Calling her sister would be fine, but ‘Lady Sister’ what kind of flirtatious roleplay was she doing?
Fang Yuqing propped her cheeks up like an old meditation master. She said honestly, “There is a little bit, yes, but human adaptability is very strong. After calling it many times, you won’t feel ashamed anymore.”
“You are planning to call it a few more times?” Fang Yuqing’s boldness refreshed Chi Xia’s understanding of her.
Fang Yuqing felt that she was exaggerating and said helplessly, “This is barely anything. When people fall in love, don’t they call each other ‘wife’ and ‘baby’ way too much? Now just calling you ‘Lady Sister’ and you can’t take it, what will you do in the future?”
Chi Xia ruthlessly overturned her theory, “Other people are falling in love, are we?”
She swept a sideways glance over. As Fang Yuqing met her gaze, a short sentence somehow made both of them feel a strange emotion spreading. Their eyes met, and it felt like an electric shock that made their bodies go numb.
“Oh… oh right, the two of us aren’t falling in love,” Fang Yuqing murmured unnaturally.
Chi Xia shook her head and let out a lost smile, saying, “It’s late, you should sleep.”
“Saying that I should sleep, in truth, it’s just that you don’t want to video call with me anymore, right?”
Chi Xia nodded and smiled, defaulting to her words.
Fang Yuqing curled her lips, but her voice became sweet and cloying, “Then Lady Sister must take good care of herself outside. You have gotten thin. When you come back, I will cook and treat you to a meal.”
Her eyes moved slightly, landing on Fang Yuqing’s face, her gaze turning into a soft light. One could only see Chi Xia smiling shallowly, pulling the emotions at the corners of her eyes and brows. This beautiful rose of hers emitted her personal unique charm; when she no longer treated people with a cold face, one would feel her delicate tenderness.
“I will strive to go home early.”
With that said, she hung up the video call. She had already broken away from that romantic atmosphere, but she did not know that Fang Yuqing was still immersed inside it.
Fang Yuqing lazily slumped on the desk and said, “Recently, she is so attractive. Did I have this thought before? It seems like I didn’t, ah, can’t figure it out, I won’t think about it!”
Suddenly, she buried her face in her arms, her feet under the table stomping around. One could only hear her muffled voice saying, “Ahhhh, the way I was just looking at her and dazing out must have been discovered by Chi Xia, otherwise she wouldn’t have smiled so playfully when closing the video!”
Is there anything wrong with looking at a beautiful sister and dazing out?
No!
She confidently brainwashed herself. Recalling the video just now, Fang Yuqing could not help but say heart-wrenchingly, “She must have encountered a very thorny and big matter, otherwise she wouldn’t have thinned down so fast. I estimate she was so busy that she couldn’t even eat meals again. Looking like a person who has plenty of ideas, yet she can’t even learn to take care of herself.”
“Big idiot!”
Her scolding could naturally not be heard by Chi Xia. Chi Xia, who had just video-called with her, lowered her head in deep thought.
“Are you still relishing the scene of the female lead calling you ‘Lady Sister’ in a delicate voice?”
No. 009 teased Chi Xia without fear of death.
Chi Xia said calmly, “Could it be that you think because I cannot clean you up right now, you can mock me without any fear?”
No. 009 stayed in the system space, and Chi Xia could only enter the system space again after the task was completed. Her threat made No. 009 quickly say a few sweet words to please her, passing this stage by acting cute.
“But Xiaxia, I still don’t quite understand.”
“What?”
“Why would the Little Heavenly Dao say that the plot has been transmitted completely to us? For example, the female lead Fang Yuqing’s life background has not appeared in our known plot. Could this be that the Little Heavenly Dao has some matter it is hiding from us?”
