Chapter 556: Chapter 547: Should I Ask Qingzi?

"Come on, start a video call with me!"

"I... I won’t!"

"Then tell me why his legs just went weak?"

"You know your man, he has a big ego and likes to show off. I told him to be careful, but he insisted he was fine. And then, his legs gave out!"

"And you... why are you panting?"

"Nonsense, of course, it’s from exhaustion. Can you honestly say you’ve never panted?"

Shen Yi was on the phone with her landlord lady, and although it seemed like they were talking about the same thing, they were actually on different wavelengths. Yet, thanks to the landlord’s skillful maneuvering, it was forced into a single topic.

Shen Yi knew nothing serious would happen between the two, but the sounds of Wen Nanqing’s breathless voice coming through the phone were unmistakable. She felt as curious as a cat, eager to know what was going on between the two and what had occurred.

She has been exhausted these past few days and hasn’t been able to recharge properly. She was beginning to regret not agreeing to have Su Qing come with her to spend the New Year at her home.

Had she done so, she might not be so worn out now.

"Of course I pant. I don’t just pant, I even call out. Want to try calling out a few times yourself?" Shen Yi retorted.

Hearing this, the landlord lady was immediately energized: "Are you sure you want me to call out? Right now, little Su is lying right in front of me. Unlike you, sis, tell me, do you want the Western way or the Asian style of calling?"

Shen Yi: ...

She was impressed. This woman, an expert in bawdy humor, seemed to have a unique talent in this area, and having watched countless films, her extensive knowledge and the sheer variety were mind-blowing.

If Shen Yi really went to watch those things, her CPU might have already fried.

Shen Yi was speechless, but Tang Nan next to her couldn’t hold back: "Why be scared, Sister Qing? Call out, I want to hear! Haha, wait up, I’m ready to record. Okay, go ahead and call!"

Shen Yi: ...

Wen Nanqing: ...

What is this husky-like behavior? I was just joking, do you want to socially embarrass me?

Feeling like she had brought Shen Yi down, the landlord lady laughed: "Alright, alright, let me show you, you probably won’t get charged today. You can have a look for some satisfaction!"

With that, Wen Nanqing turned on the camera, and the next second, her appearance was visible to Shen Yi and Tang Nan.

The landlord lady’s face was flushed, a thin layer of sweat covering her forehead. If her clothes weren’t still tidy, it really could have looked as if...

Wen Nanqing used her other hand to fan her face and tugged at her collar toward the camera: "Oh, I’m exhausted. Xiao Yi, I have to say, your little man has a good build; there’s quite some muscle under those clothes."

As she spoke, the landlord lady raised her eyebrows repeatedly, pulling with considerable force, revealing a large swath of snow-white skin at the collar.

She then turned the camera towards Su Qing, who was dead asleep on the sofa: "Look at your little man; I nearly got worn out by him. I told him not to drink too much, but he wouldn’t listen. Now he’s drunk, and coming back, he could barely stand, legs all wobbly, nearly crushed me!"

Shen Yi: ...

Tang Nan: (ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~

"So that’s what a big ego with wobbly legs is like? Had me all excited for nothing. But Sister Qing, you used the word ’crush’ well. Next time, expand on that! Better yet, make a video; I’ll like and save it."

"No problem, but you’ll have to ask Xiao Yi if she allows it. But since I’m an outsider, any video won’t be sensational. Better if Xiao Yi films it herself; then it’ll be explosive!" The landlord lady fearlessly quipped with bold words.

Amidst their playful banter, Shen Yi had little reaction, only glanced at Su Qing sleeping soundly on the sofa and said: "How much did he drink? Had I known, I would have called Uncle to warn him that Su Qing can’t handle alcohol!"

"Oh dear! Feeling sorry for him already? Really, now?" The landlord lady immediately turned into a Yin-Yang Master, teasing.

Upon hearing, Shen Yi glared at her: "You know he can’t handle his liquor, why didn’t you stop him?"

"Don’t accuse me unfairly; I did try to stop him but couldn’t. He and my dad were having a great time drinking together. If my brother weren’t there, I’d think they wanted to become sworn brothers!" Wen Nanqing thought back to that scene and found it amusing and slightly exasperating.

Normally, he’s such a quiet guy, but when he drinks, he not only talks a lot but also gets much warmer.

Upon hearing that, Shen Yi opened her mouth but said nothing, as she didn’t know how to describe it. She had seen Su Qing drunk before, but he had been quite well-behaved that time. Wait, she’d only seen him after he was drunk but never during the process. Could there be unexpected discoveries?

She thought she ought to find a chance to test it out. If he indeed acts differently when drunk, wouldn’t her new tactics finally have a use? The thought brought a little excitement.

"By the way, is little Su okay there? Or... should I carry him upstairs? But first, let me be clear, I’m not very strong. I nearly got crushed moving him onto the sofa. If I carry him upstairs and something inappropriate happens, don’t cry..." The landlord lady said matter-of-factly, as if showing she respected boundaries and wouldn’t sneak a snack behind Shen Yi’s back.

At this, Shen Yi sighed helplessly: "Alright, just let him sleep on the sofa. I doubt you could manage upstairs; it’d be bad if you both ended up falling down.

Oh, Sister Qing, could you go to the second floor and grab a blanket for him?"

Upon hearing, Wen Nanqing pouted: "Stingy~ But you don’t have anything you’d rather I not see, right? Like lace underwear? I hope I don’t find out you have a freaky side!"

This embarrassed Shen Yi immensely, her face turning red. Strangely enough, she, an active player, was bested by a retired one in this field, which seemed unbelievable.

But she didn’t know that though the retired player’s skills had dulled, they also had coach-level knowledge, theoretically sound and unmatched by the young and inexperienced.

After fetching a blanket from upstairs and covering Su Qing, who was completely covered, looking like a corpse, Wen Nanqing clapped her hands and nodded with satisfaction: "I’m just too awesome. Never mind, for this once, I’ll act as the major shareholder should. Or... should I just stay over tonight?"

Shen Yi: ...

Seeing Shen Yi’s helpless expression, the landlord lady chuckled: "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Sis is leaving!"

Meanwhile, at Wang Xing’s home, Lin Miao Miao brought a pot of soup.

"Is it tasty?"

"Mmm, mmm, mmm, delicious!"

"That’s good. I was worried you wouldn’t like it!" Lin Miao Miao said with a happy face, looking at the man before her. This has been her happiest time lately.

Wang Xing gazed at the girl for a long while, then stuttered: "Uh... um... are you planning to go home once the company breaks for holiday?"

At this, Lin Miao Miao’s eyes dimmed briefly but quickly brightened again as she laughed: "Yeah, pretty much, why?"

"No... nothing!"

After finishing his meal, as Lin Miao Miao left, Wang Xing watched her back at the community gate, giving himself a slap: "Damn it~~ why couldn’t I muster up the courage to ask her?

Maybe... I should ask Qingzi how to get a girl to stay over?"
