Chapter 12

Panicking, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly explained, "It was initially, but now it isn't."

Xu Chuanchuan: "It's late. I still need to work tomorrow."

Ange: "In that case, chat with me."

Xu Chuanchuan: "What do you want to talk about?"

Ange: "Let me tell you a joke. Citrus found another girlfriend."

Xu Chuanchuan: "Another?"

Ange: "Didn't I tell you she came to Shanghai a few days ago and invited me out? She sent me a picture today, boasting that she found a new girlfriend. She says that this girlfriend of hers is a tycoon reader ranked number one on her contribution list and that this person has donated several tens of thousands to her already. Isn't this infuriating?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "...Don't get angry. The number of tycoon readers supporting you is no less than hers."

Ange: "I blacklisted her number out of rage."

Xu Chuanchuan: "Just let it be. Out with the old, in with the new. You can always find another one."

Ange: "Who should I look for? Should I look for a tycoon reader as well? Forget it. I don't want to be like her."

Xu Chuanchuan: "Stay single with me, then."

Ange: "Tang'er, make sure to find me the day you get bent. I promise to marry you. [Kiss]"

Ange was at it again.

Having gotten used to Ange's antics, Xu Chuanchuan turned the tables and replied: "Sure. So long as you don't mind spending the rest of your life alone, keep on waiting. You might get your chance in the next life."

Ange: "Tch. How boring. I might as well spend the rest of my life with my books."

The two of them continued with their unproductive conversation. Partway through the conversation, the topic of Murong Shi suddenly came up.

Ange: "Does your boss's daughter have a boyfriend?"

Xu Chuanchuan recalled the glib-tongued Jiang Shaohua's appearance and replied: "She does, but I don't think their relationship is good. How do I put it? I think that man isn't fit for her."

However, Ange did not care about the virtues of Murong Shi's boyfriend. Instead, she responded: "Hah... A great beauty like her is straight. What a pity."

Ange was someone who wished all beautiful women in the world was a lesbian like herself. She cared not about the possibility of humanity going extinct at the slightest. She even declared that "true love only existed between homosexuals." In Xu Chuanchuan's opinion, she found Ange's views to be incomprehensible.

However, after reading Ange's comment, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but wonder: "If Murong Shi is a lesbian, what kind of woman would fit her?"

"For a beautiful and transcendent flower like Murong Shi, only someone with a colder personality and stronger presence could pluck her, right?"

After reading Xu Chuanchuan's conjecture, Ange snorted and replied: "This is where you're wrong. Only the pairing of a top and bottom can result in love. If you match her with someone who has an even stronger presence, wouldn't they end up in a love-hate relationship? How will they spend their days in such a relationship?"

Love-hate relationship…

When Xu Chuanchuan imagined the scene of Murong Shi being "pushed down" by someone, she found it to be quite interesting. However, she suddenly recalled the words "Have him get lost" Murong Shi had said through the phone, she promptly snapped out of her reverie. If Murong Shi found out that she was having such "dirty" thoughts in her mind, she would be finished!

…

Murong Shi, who had been abruptly brought up in someone's conversation, felt a little feverish. Her ears also felt like they were on fire. When taking her bath, she deliberately lowered the water temperature. However, contrary to her expectations, she felt even more feverish after her bath. Her ears felt so hot that she had the urge to pull them off and throw them away.

Opening a drawer, Murong Shi grabbed the fever medicine stored inside and popped a pill into her mouth. She then sat on her bed and applied her facial mask.

Even if she was sick, she was going to be a sick beauty. When Murong Shi applied the ice-cold mask to her face, she felt the heat on her face dissipating. Having nothing better in the meantime, she grabbed her phone and began reading a novel.

At this point, Murong Shi was already certain Xu Chuanchuan was "I Love Malatang." Xu Chuanchuan also wrote this new book she was currently reading. This book's style was similar to the previous one, and it mainly described the daily life and romance between the main characters. Surprisingly, Murong Shi did not find this similarity to be boring.

In any case, she had time to waste, so she could treat this as a way of passing the time.

[Xiao Ai anxiously closed her eyes as a pair of tender hands cupped her face in the dark. When the other person held up her chin, her eyelashes trembled. Unsure where she should put her hands, she moved them around in a panic and seemingly grabbed onto something. Suddenly, someone blew lightly at her right ear. Although she felt ticklish, she dared not move a muscle. The other person then whispered into her ear, "Hold me, I'm going to kiss you."]

The above content was one part of the scene.

Next was a description of the two characters' kissing process, and the process lasted roughly 500 words. Whether it was the characters' actions or psychological fluctuations, both were described in great detail. By the time Murong Shi finished reading this segment, she had found that her body, which had cooled due to the air conditioning, began heating up gradually again.

The two female leads were very passionate in their love for each other, and they had already removed all their clothes. What should follow next would be the climax.

Murong Shi grew a little annoyed. Wasn't this an intentional cliffhanger?

At the same time, Murong Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised that Xu Chuanchuan, who was usually well-mannered and didn't talk a lot, would be capable of writing such a passionate kissing scene. Even Murong Shi, who had found the story's plot to be naive, couldn't help but find herself immersed in the story.

Unsure if it was because of her fever or the passionate scene, Murong Shi suddenly felt irritated. Feeling unreconciled, she checked the comment section to see how other readers reacted to this cliffhanger. She then found that most people had reacted similarly to herself and complained about the author's "unscrupulous" actions.

While browsing, Murong Shi found her eyes drawn toward one particular comment.

Main: If you wish to see the "meat," please visit the author's Weibo[1]. The author's Weibo name is the same as her jjwxc name. You'll find it by searching for the keyword "meat"! The bed scene there is described with great detail! I promise you'll have a nosebleed after you read it!

#1: Haha! I've read it! It's wonderful! I'm satisfied~

#2: Really? Really? Is the author offering such a benefit on Weibo? I'm going!

#3: I finished reading it. Ah~ I want to get pushed down by Sister Ling~ Sister Ling is so skillful. I want to try all sorts of positions with her~

#4: What are you guys talking about? I'm still a child.

#5: #4, even children will grow up one day. Meat is delicious~

…

Murong Shi didn't know what the commenters meant by "meat," but she roughly understood what they were talking about after going through the whole section. The author had seemingly published some explicit content on her Weibo account.

There's a continuation?

Murong Shi had Weibo installed on her phone, and she would browse through it occasionally. Before she even realized what she was doing, her fingers had already brought her to the Weibo application and typed the words "I Love Malatang" in the search bar. While Murong Shi thought that her fever must've caused her to lose her mind, her eyes caught sight of the first search result. The user's ID was "I Love Malatang," and written in her introduction was "A jjwxc yuri author."

It seems this is Xu Chuanchuan's Weibo.

With a quick tap, Murong Shi entered I Love Malatang's profile page. She then typed the word "meat" in the page's search bar. However, after waiting for a moment, no result came in.

Nothing?

Murong Shi's mind heated up, and she did something she never thought she would do. She sent a private message to "I Love Malatang": "I came here from She's Sweet's Chapter 11. I heard there's meat here. Why can't I find it?"

At this time, Xu Chuanchuan just so happened to be lying on her bed after taking a bath. While she browsed Weibo out of boredom, she suddenly received a private message from a person named "There Exists No Poem in a Girl's Feelings."[2]

After reading the private message, Xu Chuanchuan immediately understood what the other person was talking about. After all, those 1,000-plus words were already deeply ingrained in her mind.

Xu Chuanchaun had concluded the novel She's Sweet roughly half a year ago. Many readers had messaged her on Weibo asking for "meat" during this period, so she had already gotten used to such situations.

The other party's ID was that of a blue sea, and their profile stated that they were female. Quickly, Xu Chuanchuan replied: "Sorry, Sina[3] has been strict recently, so I had to delete that post. I can send it to you if you want to read it. Thank goodness I kept the screenshots on my phone. [Shy]"

Before Murong Shi could respond to Xu Chuanchuan's reply, she received three images through the chat. Taking a look at the texts captured in the pictures, she found that it was the rumored bed scene.

Afterward, Murong Shi received another message.

I Love Malatang: "Remember to delete them once you've read them~ Don't share them with others~"

There was no way Murong Shi would dare share it with others.

Subsequently, Murong Shi downloaded the three images. After spending five minutes reading through the texts, she found her body heating up to the point of perspiring.

With her curiosity sated, Murong Shi suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.

This was the most explicit content she had ever read in her life. The content was superb, and there was no need for her to imagine anything whatsoever. Every step of the process was written in detail. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had just watched an adult video.

After reading this explicit text, Murong Shi also understood that one couldn't judge a book by its cover. She never thought that Xu Chuanchuan would have such a side unknown to others. Based on the bed scene's detail, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to label Xu Chuanchuan as an old driver.

But is she really an old driver?

Who knows?

Now that Murong Shi had just received a favor from Xu Chuanchuan, she decided to return to the novel page and donate a Deep-water Torpedo as a show of gratitude.

Before sending the Deep-water Torpedo, Murong Shi hesitated for a moment before breaking tradition and added a few words to her donation.
