Chapter 135: Kneel Down, Call Me Queen
Chapter 135: Kneel Down, Call Me Queen
Qiu Wuji’s menstrual cycle was ultimately just a small wave in their lives together. Apart from the initial surprise and discussions about the universe, the world, and the path of cultivation… it soon became a non-issue.
After all, menstruation is really normal… It’s abnormal to not have it.
Qiu Wuji actually found these modern conveniences quite comfortable. Looking back on the earlier years when she had her period, it was really troublesome. Now, it’s truly considerate and understanding, and it hardly affects her daily activities.
The pain is only at the beginning, and it quickly subsides. She did ask Baidu and it seemed to say that one should not drink brown sugar water during the first period…
But Qiu Wuji didn’t mind. She continued to drink it as usual. The water he brewed is more important than what Baidu says. It just goes to show that he doesn’t understand these things, and it’s actually nice that he doesn’t!
And it turned out to be fine. Qiu Wuji woke up the next day full of energy and went to the market to buy ingredients for chicken stew. She felt sorry for herself for losing so much blood and thought she should replenish it.
She also internally praised Chu Ge’s resilience. He exercised early in the morning, then wrote his book. It must be quite exhausting. As a little assistant who struggles to write a thousand words a day, she increasingly felt that his ten thousand words were really tough. Yesterday’s outing was a rare and special occasion for Chu Ge as well.
Chu Ge finished writing the first chapter of the morning at home, briefly checked the performance feedback, and it was still increasing. The bestseller list remained relatively stable, floating around the tenth position.
He wondered how many of the onlookers from earlier were still following the story… He initially thought they were just here to watch the excitement, but it seems that many of them stayed, perhaps due to the satisfying ending of the latest chapters. It’s also a stroke of luck…
Is this considered a small breakthrough now?
At this moment, Chu Ge couldn’t help but think about what Qiu Wuji had pondered last night— Could it be the reason for her menstrual details becoming real is the increased sense of existence in the world? She used to be like a half-real person, and now she’s considered a real person, more or less?
But this process is not intuitive enough and is difficult to determine. After all, she had always been considered a real person before…
Looking at the comments section, there wasn’t much feedback. The climax has ended, and the new volume is just in the introductory phase. It’s normal. The group chat is filled with nonsense, discussing games and sharing explicit images, calm and peaceful.
Now, Panda has become the most popular administrator among the group members, aside from Qiu Wuji, for one reason only: No matter who posts an image, he can accurately tell everyone its source.
And then everyone worships and reveres him, saying, “Brother Pill, my Superman!”
“Little blue pill, you become strong when you take it!”
Chu Ge: “…”
Your ability is used to find the source of explicit images for the group members? By the way, your superpower seems to be quite versatile…
Lulu sent a disappearing photo and asked, “Can you find the source of this?”
Panda was sweating in the black room, unable to find the source after struggling for a long time. In the end, it seemed like he locked onto the sender’s location…
“No, Lulu, when others post explicit images, you turn yourself into an explicit image?”
Lulu: “?”
Chu Ge patted Lulu’s (avatar’s) waist, feeling refreshed.
Qiu Wuji sent a peeking expression.
Chu Ge: “…”
Lulu: “…”
Chu Ge privately messaged Qiu Wuji, “Aren’t you supposed to be buying groceries?”
Qiu Wuji sent back, “Aren’t you supposed to be writing?”
Chu Ge forced a smile and said, “Just relaxing, just relaxing…”
Qiu Wuji understood and replied, “I bought a new durian. I’ll help you relax with that when later.”
Chu Ge facepalmed.
“How did you set up that patting feature? Teach me when we get back.”
“What do you want to do?”
“I want to set it as Chu Ge patting Qiu Wuji’s foot and kneeling down, calling me ‘Queen.’”
Chu Ge firmly refused, “I won’t teach you.”
“Hmph, I’ll search for it myself.” Qiu Wuji’s avatar turned gray, indicating she went invisible.
Chu Ge was sweating, then he returned to the group chat and chatted nonsense for a while. He noticed that the number of people in the group was filling up quickly, and 3,000 members were not enough…
It was a bit annoying, and he didn’t feel like creating a new group for the time being. He decided to leave it as it was.
Suddenly, his phone rang, and Chu Ge picked it up casually. Lin Wuyang’s tired voice came through, “You promised to treat me. It’s the weekend today. Will you fulfill your promise?”
“Ah, I really have no concept of weekends here.” Chu Ge sighed, “Others work 996, but I work 007.”
Lin Wuyang didn’t say anything.
Chu Ge sensed something was wrong and asked curiously, “What’s the matter with you?”
Lin Wuyang sighed, “I got demoted, and now I want to find someone to drink with.”
Chu Ge’s heart skipped a beat, “So you were transferred?”
“Yeah, the department was restructured, upgraded to a deputy division level, and I became a deputy section chief at the official level. Haha.”
Lin Wuyang was laughing, but there was no trace of joy in his tone. Chu Ge felt uneasy hearing this and quickly said, “How about we go out and have a drink? Or better yet, come to my place. I made stewed chicken today. Come and taste it.”
“Huh?” Lin Wuyang suddenly became interested, “Your place? Is it a rented house or your own?”
“It’s a rented house.”
“You made the chicken stew yourself?”
“…”
“Oh, that female fan, right? Are you living together?”
Chu Ge replied, “I said she’s actually my cousin. Do you believe me? Should I show you the family register?”
Lin Wuyang said, “?”
The two men fell silent for a while, then Lin Wuyang suddenly laughed and said, “Although it feels a bit awkward to be invited to someone’s home, it’s true that we treat each other like friends. I feel that you’re really loyal now, and I’m happy to have a brother like you. Alright, I’ll come for lunch and meet the sister who looks like a celestial fairy in the online photos.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge came back to his senses and remembered Zhang Qiren. It seemed like Zhang Qiren and Lin Wuyang were an incompatible pair, but their situations seemed somewhat similar. Can’t get what they want.
Comparatively, he seemed to be quite lucky since Qiu Wuji came into his life.
Chu Ge sighed and called Qiu Wuji, “I invited Wuyang over for dinner today, add some dishes.”
Qiu Wuji didn’t even oppose the idea of him inviting someone over to their home. She answered very straightforwardly, “Okay, do we need alcohol?”
Chu Ge said, “I’ll call the mini supermarket downstairs to deliver some beer.”
“Alright. Then I’ll prepare some appetizers.”
Chu Ge was deeply moved. This was what is called being a virtuous wife and loving mother.
After a while, Lin Wuyang hadn’t arrived yet, but Qiu Wuji returned home first.
Chu Ge went forward to take the dishes and looked at them. There was no durian.
Qiu Wuji asked, “Why are you suddenly treating someone? You didn’t mention it before.”
Chu Ge explained, “Wuyang’s promotion got snatched away by someone else, and he’s feeling down. He wants to drink with a friend.”
Qiu Wuji immediately understood the situation and smiled, shaking her head. “Life is full of disappointments, more often than not. Let him see things in a better light. We don’t want him to turn out like Zhang Qiren. This constable seems to be quite upright.”
“Right.”
“Speaking of it, isn’t the department Moon Shadow works for quite powerful? Can they help this constable?”
“They don’t have jurisdiction over each other, so it probably won’t be of much use.”
With a sigh, the ancient lady went back to the kitchen to cook.
Chu Ge returned to his room to work on his writing. The door was left open, and after a while, Lin Wuyang came in carrying a roast duck and a bag of braised goods. He peeked inside and said: “I didn’t come to the wrong place, did I? Oh, the decorations and furnishings here, you really know how to live, huh? What’s with the dog tail grass? Some kind of performance art?”
Chu Ge greeted him at the door and smiled. “Since you’re here, why bring gifts…”
Lin Wuyang raised an eyebrow. “I was afraid your delicate and beautiful cousin wouldn’t know how to cook. At least these braised goods can be a makeshift option… Oh? This chicken smells amazing…”
Chu Ge looked proud. “Who said my beautiful cousin can’t cook?”
Qiu Wuji poked her head out from the kitchen. “Chief Lin is here. Chu Ge, entertain him, offer some tea. It’ll be ready soon.”
Lin Wuyang looked at Qiu Wuji’s celestial-like face, the perfect blend of maturity and beauty, and the apron she wore around her, exuding a gentle aura. After twitching his cheek for a while, he whispered, “Team Leader, Chu Qian, I don’t want to dwell on the past anymore. Let me beat you up, and we’ll call it even. How about that?”
Chu Ge solemnly told him, “I’m invulnerable to physical attacks.”
Lin Wuyang’s facial twitching intensified. He felt like coming here was a complete mistake.
However, Chu Ge patted his shoulder and poured him a cup of tea on the sofa. “In the modern city, there are many people who talk nonsense online, but very few who can have genuine conversations in real life. I’m glad Chief Lin still remembers that Chu Ge exists.”
Looking at his smile, Lin Wuyang’s mood gradually calmed down, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face. “True, although I still want to beat you up… I’m also glad that Chu Ge exists in this world.”
