Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Prosperous Shop for Rent

Qu Tong was sitting on the only bed in the room, her apricot eyes fluttering as she looked at Si Yuting.

The atmosphere was silent for a while before Si Yuting’s aloof and unique voice rang out, "You sleep first, I’m going to take a shower."

Qu Tong lifted her lips into a smile, "I’m not sleepy yet, I’ll wait for you."

The sound of the door unlocking almost coincided with these words, and it was unclear whether Si Yuting heard her or not.

Since Qu Tong had already showered at the university after her return, she didn’t need another one. She kicked off her shoes and climbed into the side of the bed.

In fact, after spending time together, she was not resistant to Si Yuting, and if it was to come naturally, she could accept that.

Qu Tong leaned against the genuine leather headrest, pulling the blanket up over her stomach, and opened the compulsory course videos that Fu Xiangyu had sent her over the past few days.

She had only watched the video for about ten minutes when Si Yuting came out of the bathroom.

Qu Tong looked towards the sound.

The man was tall and elegant, his looks outstanding, steaming with moisture from the shower. In terms of physique or face, he was perfection beyond reproach.

His hair was half-dry, a bit more disheveled than usual, adding a touch of wildness. Si Yuting was drying it with a white towel.

Moving downward, the buttons of his white shirt were done up to the top one, and light grey work pants extended down to his ankles.

Qu Tong thought to herself with a tsk tsk, was he afraid she would see something?

Such a boring man~

As Si Yuting was drying himself, his movements paused for a moment as he looked towards Qu Tong.

Qu Tong quickly composed herself, a teasing smile emerging on her face as she patted the bed beside her, "Prime real estate for rent."

Si Yuting: "..."

The air fell silent again, and Si Yuting stopped drying his hair.

Qu Tong couldn’t help but snort with laughter at Si Yuting’s complicated expression.

When Si Yuting caught on, his deep phoenix eyes showed a trace of helplessness.

He hung the towel out on the balcony and paused beside the bed, his eyes slightly lowered. The warm yellow light in the room softened his usually cold visage with a few touches of tenderness.

"I..."

Before Si Yuting could utter another word, Qu Tong’s light brain untimely rang out.

Qu Tong saw it was a call from Brother Liang and looked up at Si Yuting, using her hand to gesture towards the door.

Si Yuting nodded.

Qu Tong got out of bed and went outside.

When Qu Tong returned, she discovered Si Yuting hadn’t gone to bed but was instead typing on a virtual keyboard at the desk.

Qu Tong tip-toed over to Si Yuting’s back, glanced at the screen, and saw something that seemed to be program writing, which was another area she knew nothing about.

Letting out an almost imperceptible sigh, Qu Tong turned off the lights on her side and went back to bed.

She didn’t have the habit of disturbing others at work, and she didn’t like being interrupted when she was focused on something herself.

But she turned to look at Si Yuting and started to doubt herself.

Qu Tong retreated into the blankets, her back to Si Yuting, and opened her light brain to send a message to Wen You: "Am I pretty?"

Wen You: "???"

Wen You: "Can light brains also get hacked?"

Qu Tong: "Not under normal circumstances."

Wen You: "What about under special circumstances?"

Qu Tong: "Just answer the question first."

Wen You: "Pretty."

Qu Tong: "That’s too perfunctory."

Wen You: "No, what knock did you take, Tong Tong?"

Wen You: "Let me cheer up a bit."

Wen You: "Hey! Not that! Butterfingers, I meant to say spill it so I can help you analyze it, see my sincere eyes."

Qu Tong knew Wen You was unreliable, but she didn’t have any other suitable options.

Qu Tong sent a selfie over, the upper right corner of the photo catching a side profile of Si Yuting in the glow of the smart brain.

Soon, Wen You replied with a string of emotion-filled phrases: "Pffffhahahahaha haha *hic*~"

Even through the screen, one could feel Wen You’s unrestrained laughter.

There was a moment when Qu Tong somewhat regretted her decision to reach out to her.

Perhaps Wen You also felt it was inappropriate and quickly replied with: "Our Tong Tong is really good-looking, so beautiful that even I, as a woman, want to kiss her. Yuting doesn’t have good taste. Dump him, and I’ll support you, sis."

Qu Tong with disdain: "Do you have as much money as Si Yuting?"

Wen You posted an exasperated emoji: "Heh, you shallow woman."

Qu Tong: "Goodbye, I don’t want to talk to trash."

Wen You: "Wait, I have a friend who’s an emotional broadcaster, quite amazing, you should ask them for advice."

Then Wen You sent her an Xingwang account.

Qu Tong checked it out, just a few dozen followers, is this what you call amazing?

Qu Tong glanced at it and logged out, starting to read her required reading material.

After a while, feeling restless, she opened Xingwang and followed the emotional blogger with a secondary account, sending a private message.

Netizen 388889: "Hello!"

Love’s Guardian: "Hello, this is the ’Love’s Guardian Emotional Center,’ guiding your path, protecting the value of love, speak up about your troubles, and I will provide answers."

Love’s Guardian: "Are you there, dear? What would you like to consult about?"

The first message must’ve been an automated reply, so tacky!

The second must be from a real person.

Qu Tong first inquired: "Does it cost money for the consultation?"

The other side might have been rendered speechless for a while, as it took them a good while to reply: "No, it doesn’t, dear."

Qu Tong thought there was no harm in asking; it might indeed be that she had gotten the direction wrong.

Netizen 388889: "What should I do if my other half is too aloof?"

Love’s Guardian: "How aloof are they, dear?"

Qu Tong thought about it and replied: "He’s always kind of indifferent towards me."

Love’s Guardian: "In what aspect is he indifferent?"

Netizen 388889: "Indifferent in every aspect."

After sending that, Qu Tong felt that such a reply might easily be misconstrued, so she added: "Doesn’t allow kissing."

Not even on the face, and the only time was when she took advantage of him being unaware.

Love’s Guardian: "Perhaps his family education is very strict? Things usually get better after marriage."

Netizen 388889: "We’re already married."

Love’s Guardian: "Married and still no kissing?"

Love’s Guardian: "Is it a marriage of convenience?"

Netizen 388889: "Sort of."

Love’s Guardian: "That’s a bit difficult then, first of all..."

...

The emotional blogger analyzed quite a bit for her.

There were a few suggestions, but Qu Tong felt there wasn’t much she could take away from them.

In the end, the blogger even asked: "What is it that satisfies you most about him?"

Qu Tong stared blankly at the light brain projector, the most satisfying thing about Si Yuting was his kindness towards her.

Also, his generosity, the vast wealth that would make her regret divorcing him.

Qu Tong typed and asked: "How do I rightfully inherit all his property if we divorce?"

After a silence, the other side replied: "This is outside our scope of services, dear. You might want to consult a lawyer about this."

Qu Tong concluded with one sentence: "Crap!"

She awkwardly closed the chat window and resumed playing the video.

To avoid lashing out at Si Yuting like the last time, Qu Tong planned to wait for him to come over so they could sleep together.

Si Yuting looked at the faint glow emanating from the light brain on the bed, and felt the air was somewhat stuffy, which made him uncomfortable and even affected his concentration.

This disturbance meant that what would normally take him an hour to deal with, now took a whole two hours to complete.

He turned off his smart brain and sat for a while before heading to the bedside.
