Chapter 18: Are You a Leg Man?

Zhao Ran looked stunned.

He watched the two chatting enthusiastically, and he constantly felt that all this was a bit unreal.

Since when did the great campus belle get so lively talking to someone?

He even said earlier that he was going to introduce the campus belle to him.

This traitor, unforgivable!

Though he said that, deep down he felt genuinely happy for Shen Qingxuan.

If those two really got together, just being able to say “the campus belle is my brother-in-law’s girlfriend”—

Wouldn’t everyone be jealous when he bragged about it?

However, he didn’t plan on sticking around and getting in the way of his good brother-in-law’s big romance.

So, after saying goodbye to Shen Qingxuan, he left.

Thinking about having to deal with a certain pain in the neck soon, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunshu stared dead at Shen Qingxuan and Jiang Yubing, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails nearly digging into her palm.

He was actually chatting so happily with a strange little girl, And that little girl even looked prettier than her!

Didn’t he know to keep a proper distance from the opposite sex?

Chu Yunshu gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.

But the scene she saw next nearly short-circuited her brain.

Jiang Yubing picked up the pen on the table, leaned forward slightly, and wrote her own name and phone number in the family members section of the registration form.

In the relationship column, two bold words appeared—

—”Husband and Wife.”

Chu Yunshu’s mind went completely blank.

Impossible, this was absolutely impossible, She must have filled it in wrong.

How could Shen Qingxuan fall for someone else?

These past four years, he was devoted to her.

There’s no way just because he couldn’t win her over, he’d randomly marry someone else, right?

……

……

Having completed the enrollment process, the two left the school.

Once in a while, a student or two walked by.

Shen Qingxuan couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

He finally shook off all those eyes watching him.

He never thought the campus belle Zhao Ran mentioned was actually Jiang Yubing.

Jiang Yubing, in a playful tone, said, “Your childhood sweetheart seems pretty mad!”

Shen Qingxuan froze for a moment.

“How did you know we grew up together?”

He never remembered telling Jiang Yubing anything about Chu Yunshu.

“Your mother told me!”

Jiang Yubing blurted out the excuse.

She just wanted to see Shen Qingxuan’s reaction, and forgot she secretly looked at his old chat logs.

Luckily, her quick thinking saved her.

He probably wouldn’t call to check on this, right?

Shen Qingxuan: “……”

Did his mother really tell her all that?

Wasn’t a guy allowed to have any privacy anymore?

But…

Shen Qingxuan countered, “Why did you suddenly ask about this?”

Jiang Yubing answered calmly, “I’m your wife, isn’t it normal for me to care about your romantic past?”

Shen Qingxuan: “Huh?”

“Aren’t we in a fake marriage?”

Jiang Yubing played dumb.

“We haven’t actually signed the agreement yet, have we?”

Shen Qingxuan thought, true enough.

Jiang Yubing considered it and said, “But I have to make one thing clear—neither of us can get into a new relationship before we divorce.”

“Why?”

Jiang Yubing grinned mischievously at him, “What, do you want to wear a green hat that badly?”

Shen Qingxuan shook his head frantically, “No way!”

“But…”

Jiang Yubing leaned in close, whispering in his ear, “You could always try introducing yourself to me, right?”

As soon as she said that, Shen Qingxuan’s ears flushed bright red, and his heart pounded wildly.

He stood there in a daze for a moment.

After a deep breath, Shen Qingxuan stammered, “M-me?”

Jiang Yubing nodded, smiling slyly.

“Do you want to chase after me?”

After asking, she stared straight at Shen Qingxuan, eyes unblinking, Wanting to see how he’d react.

As soon as Jiang Yubing finished, Shen Qingxuan hesitated.

If he said he didn’t want to, that was impossible.

Unless he was out of his mind.

Honestly, who wouldn’t want a campus belle girlfriend like Jiang Yubing?

But what got him stuck was whether Jiang Yubing was being serious.

If she was just joking and he said he did want to, wouldn’t that make him look like a clown?

Just as he wavered, Jiang Yubing suddenly changed the subject.

“Shen Qingxuan, I’m hungry. Let’s go home. Cook me something!”

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

About ten minutes later, they returned to the apartment.

Shen Qingxuan immediately went to the kitchen to cook.

Feeling bored, Jiang Yubing picked up the tablet from the sofa and started playing with it.

As soon as she opened Douyin, a video titled “What does a guy’s private space actually look like?” caught her attention.

After watching it, she looked both surprised and curious.

It was hard enough to find the secret folder, but now it needed a password to get in. Jiang Yubing’s face instantly fell.

What now? She really wanted to see.

Driven by strong curiosity, Jiang Yubing began typing furiously.

First she tried the last digits of the ID card.

No luck.

Then she tried the last digits of the phone.

Still not right.

She tried two more times, but still couldn’t get it.

Jiang Yubing grabbed her hair in frustration.

“What could it be?”

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.

Maybe it was the same as his phone lock screen password.

She got up at once and walked to the kitchen door.

“Shen Qingxuan, what’s your phone lock screen password?”

Shen Qingxuan, who was peeling potatoes in the kitchen, looked confused.

Why was she suddenly asking for his password?

“Why do you need it?”

Jiang Yubing smoothly gave the excuse she’d prepared:

“I want to call Mom.”

So that’s what it was.

Shen Qingxuan understood right away.

Jiang Yubing still didn’t have their contact info up to now.

He thought she really needed something from Lin Yun.

Without even thinking, he told Jiang Yubing his password right away.

He even thoughtfully mentioned the last digits, afraid she might dial the wrong number.

After all, Shen Qingxuan never saved any remarks.

Back on the sofa.

Jiang Yubing immediately typed in the lock screen password.

It worked.

She just tapped open the photo album when, all of a sudden, a flood of anime-style beautiful leg photos popped up on the screen.

Black stockings, white stockings…

There were all kinds.

Jiang Yubing couldn’t help but curl her lashes when she saw it.

Just as he’d finished peeling the potatoes, Shen Qingxuan, still puzzled, walked out of the kitchen.

Didn’t she say she was going to make a call?

The apartment wasn’t big at all, so why hadn’t he heard anything?

Just as he came up behind Jiang Yubing, he saw her flipping through one photo after another.

But somehow, the pictures looked familiar.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

“What the hell!”

Shen Qingxuan blurted out.

The sudden shout gave Jiang Yubing a fright.

She turned her head and saw it was Shen Qingxuan, looking incredibly guilty.

“I-I just clicked it by accident, do you believe me?”

Not getting a response for some time, Jiang Yubing cried inside.

Forget it!

Even she didn’t believe such a lame excuse herself.

“Sorry, I was wrong.”

Jiang Yubing admitted guiltily.

She looked exactly like a bear cub who’d been caught doing something naughty red-handed.

Shen Qingxuan: “?”

What did that mean?

Shouldn’t he be the socially dead one here?

What was the apology for, all of a sudden?

Still, Shen Qingxuan saw the chance to back down, so he said to Jiang Yubing, “It’s fine, just give me the tablet.”

As he took the tablet from her, Jiang Yubing’s voice suddenly rang out, “Are you a leg man?”
