"Then why are you avoiding me?"
"Huh?"
Liu Shuhan was a bit confused. "No, I'm not..." She wished she could see Cheng Qiuyi every day; how could she possibly be avoiding her?
"Then why have I asked you out so many times, and you haven't agreed even once?" Cheng Qiuyi's fingers were interlaced on her knees, her gaze fixed on a corner of the coffee table, looking a bit sad.
Liu Shuhan hurriedly explained, "I haven't! I've really been too busy these days to get away! Qiu Yi, I really haven't! You have to believe me!"
"Really?"
"Yes!" Liu Shuhan nodded vigorously.
Cheng Qiuyi's eyes twinkled, and a smile appeared on her face. "Good, you're not avoiding me."
She continued, "So when are you free? We agreed to go watch a movie together last time, but we still haven't gone."
Liu Shuhan thought hard for a moment. "I think I have a day off next Tuesday..."
"Why is it taking so long?" Cheng Qiuyi complained.
"We're short-staffed during this period..."
"Then I'll come pick you up then. This time you can't back out."
"Alright, alright, report to the organization, I promise not to regret it!" Liu Shuhan smiled and gave a crooked bow to Cheng Qiuyi, then stood up. "I'll be on my way now; I still have a big bag of packages to deliver today."
"Wood, are you planning to change jobs?" Cheng Qiuyi also got up.
Liu Shuhan scratched her head. "Being a courier is pretty good; it's free and easy. I can't stand staying in the office."
"This job has you running around in all kinds of weather. You've only been back at work for a few days, and you've already lost weight." Cheng Qiuyi reached out and lightly grasped Liu Shuhan's waist, her beautiful brows furrowing together. Liu Shuhan had finally gained a bit of weight while staying with her, but now it was all gone.
"Losing weight looks better; which woman doesn't want to be thinner?"
But I just want to make you plump and healthy, Cheng Qiuyi thought secretly. It would be best if you became so chubby that everyone in the world rejected you, so you'd have no choice but to stay by my side and not go anywhere else.
"Well, I won't talk to you anymore; I really have to go. Take care of yourself too. If you're in an air-conditioned room, make sure to wear more clothes. If you catch a cold, you'll be the one suffering."
Before Cheng Qiuyi could say anything else, Liu Shuhan had already closed the door behind her. Cheng Qiuyi sat back down on the sofa, resting her forehead in thought about how to make Liu Shuhan give up this exhausting job.
The next day, Liu Shuhan discovered another courier for Cheng Qiuyi among the packages she was set to deliver. This time there were fewer than yesterday—only two.
Liu Shuhan dialed the number that Cheng Qiuyi had left on the courier slip again. "Hey beautiful, there's a courier for you."
"I'm at home; come on up."
Liu Shuhan delivered the items into Cheng Qiuyi's hands and grinned widely, showing off her white teeth. "You've been buying quite a lot these past couple of days."
Cheng Qiuyi accepted the items with a strange smile but didn't say anything.
Liu Shuhan felt a chill down her spine from her smile and quickly said goodbye before leaving.
In the following days.
On the third day, fourth day, and up to the fifth day, Liu Shuhan had to deliver two or three packages to Cheng Qiuyi every day.
"Beautiful lady, another package for you..."
Liu Shuhan finally understood what that strange smile from Cheng Qiuyi meant that day. As she handed the courier to Cheng Qiuyi, she couldn't help but ask, "I mean, do you really have to shop online for a toothbrush?"
"How did you know it was a toothbrush?"
"Isn't it written on the receipt?"
Cheng Qiuyi glanced at the courier slip and smiled, "It's more convenient to buy online."
"But there's a supermarket right next to your neighborhood." Liu Shuhan was a bit exasperated. Back when Cheng Qiuyi was in high school, she was known for being diligent. How come now she wouldn't even go downstairs to buy a toothbrush? She must have been corrupted by the evils of capitalism during her years abroad.
Cheng Qiuyi placed the package inside and playfully pinched her nose. "You’re so busy every day that I wouldn’t get to see you if I didn’t do this."
Liu Shuhan's mind exploded with thoughts, and her ears turned pink. Cheng Qiuyi, how could this straight girl be so flirty? Once or twice would be fine, but every time! Flirting and then running away—what a low rating!
She had indeed changed! Liu Shuhan thought angrily; it was all the fault of evil capitalism!
However, being able to see Cheng Qiuyi every day was something Liu Shuhan certainly welcomed. As soon as she stepped out of Cheng Qiuyi's house, she secretly posted the photo she had taken of Cheng Qiuyi on Weibo, and as expected, it received a like.
Liu Shuhan had been secretly taking photos of Cheng Qiuyi for five consecutive days. Each day, a stranger would like her posts, and every time, she would block that person.
Finding her Weibo so accurately with a small account that didn't have a single follower made her suspect it was the same person. Liu Shuhan was determined to confront this individual; she wanted to see how many alternate accounts they had and whether they had more accounts than her blacklist limit.
But this time, after liking her post, the person actually sent her a private message.
[Beauty, how many times are you going to block me? Can you give me a clear answer?]
Liu Shuhan chuckled, [Who are you? How can you be so sure I'm a girl?]
[That's not important! I just liked your post, did I offend you?]
[Yes, you did. What about it?]
Liu Shuhan was in a hurry to send off a courier, so after typing that message, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and ignored the stranger.
It wasn't until she got home from work that evening that she realized this person was quite persistent; they had sent her over ten more private messages.
[Don't! I was wrong! I won't like your posts anymore!]
[Miss, can we follow each other?]
[Please follow back, please follow back, please follow back…]
[Hey girl, are you still there?]
[If you don't reply to me, I'll cry for you to see!]
Sure enough, the following dozen messages were all crying emojis.
Liu Shuhan found it amusing and slid her finger to send two words: [Okay.]
This person is really idle, Liu Shuhan thought. She herself was also a bit silly; at her age, she was still trying to make online friends.
Cheng Qiuyi smiled when she saw the words "Okay" on her phone. That's right, the stranger who had liked Liu Shuhan's posts for several days was her.
Cheng Qiuyi had known for a while that Liu Shuhan had this little account and had seen the various beautiful photos of women on her Weibo. The last time she discovered that Liu Shuhan had actually posted a photo of herself, she felt happy and casually liked it, only to be blocked by Liu Shuhan afterward.
Cheng Qiuyi couldn't help but laugh. This silly girl Liu Shuhan was hesitant when she should be decisive and yet acted so decisively when she shouldn't.
Fortunately, Liu Shuhan was somewhat perceptive; in the following days, she posted one Weibo update a day all about herself, which eased Cheng Qiuyi's irritation quite a bit.
Cheng Qiuyi added Liu Shuhan with no other intention than to tease her, curious whether this dense girl would act the same way with everyone or just pretend to be clueless around her. But upon receiving that "Okay," she felt a wave of sweetness in her heart.
This silly and adorable girl couldn't be allowed to flirt with just anyone; she needed to be taken under control quickly!
