Chapter 19: A Different Kind of Fame

“No.”

Shen Qingxuan denied it without even thinking.

Although Jiang Yubing already discovered those secret folders, he really was not a leg man.

He just liked to appreciate beautiful things in his spare time, that was all.

“Alright!”

Shen Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he said he was not, Shen Qingxuan actually noticed a faintly disappointed expression on Jiang Yubing’s little face.

Damn!

Seriously?

Then, Jiang Yubing asked, “Do you think I look better, or do they look better?”

“Ahem…”

That shockingly direct question left Shen Qingxuan at a complete loss.

But when he saw Jiang Yubing’s gaze filled with hope and sincerity, Shen Qingxuan did not know what to say for a moment.

“What’s wrong?”

Shen Qingxuan cleared his throat and said, “I haven’t seen your legs.”

This was obviously a lie.

The two of them still lived together for a few days.

The weather in Jiangbei was hot.

Jiang Yubing generally wore short skirts at home.

But Shen Qingxuan could not say he had seen them.

Otherwise, he would be regarded as a pervert.

Jiang Yubing let out a light “Oh.”

Then, she got up and went back to the bedroom.

When Shen Qingxuan saw this, he also immediately returned to the kitchen.

He really did not want Jiang Yubing to suddenly ask him an even more shocking question later.

Back in the bedroom, after changing her clothes, Jiang Yubing lay on the bed, picked up her phone, and opened Kuai Song Delivery…

…

Half an hour later.

In the bathroom.

Jiang Yubing was taking a shower.

Shen Qingxuan came out carrying the dishes.

He heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, so he just sat on the sofa and played with his phone.

“Knock, knock, knock—the sound of someone knocking at the door.”

Shen Qingxuan raised an eyebrow.

Why would anyone knock at this hour?

He stood up, puzzled, and walked to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a man wearing a Kuai Song Delivery costume asked, “Is this the home of Jiangbei’s Number One Wife?”

What the heck?

Shen Qingxuan’s brain short-circuited for a moment.

He subconsciously replied, “What?”

The delivery guy patiently repeated, “Is this the home of Jiangbei’s Number One Wife?”

Before Shen Qingxuan could answer, Jiang Yubing walked out from the bathroom, her hair still dripping, and replied, “Yes.”

Under Shen Qingxuan’s astonished gaze, she quickly took the bag from the delivery guy’s hand and ran straight back to the bedroom.

She actually forgot to change the name when she ordered earlier.

Now she was really done for.

She could just die from social embarrassment right now.

If only there were a hole in the ground…

Hmph!

It was all her own fault…

Why did she have to give herself such a ridiculous nickname?

Now all she wanted was to hide that bag.

She looked around the room.

But there really was no good place to hide it.

Except…

The bedside table right in front of her.

Wouldn’t it be too easy to find there?

Forget it, there was nowhere else anyhow.

Jiang Yubing squatted down and opened the bottom drawer.

A bag immediately appeared in front of her.

She opened it directly.

Jiang Yubing blinked, surprised to see that it was her own underwear inside.

It was even the set she wore on the day she was rescued.

He did not…

He could not be doing anything inappropriate with her underwear, could he?

Just thinking about it made Jiang Yubing a little nervous.

At that moment, Shen Qingxuan’s voice sounded from the doorway: “Dinner’s ready! Hurry up or it’ll get cold.”

Shen Qingxuan naturally also saw the pink underwear in Jiang Yubing’s hand.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Shen Qingxuan felt a bit awkward.

How could anyone suffer social death twice in a single day?

He hurriedly explained, “It’s not what you think. I’m really not a pervert.”

Jiang Yubing responded with a calm “Oh.”

But when she saw Shen Qingxuan’s reaction, she found it funny.

She did not say anything, after all!

Why was he suddenly so embarrassed?

But this side of him was actually quite cute.

Most importantly, she somehow managed to transfer her own awkwardness onto Shen Qingxuan.

See, Shen Qingxuan even forgot to tease her about her nickname, “Jiangbei’s Number One Wife.”

…

At the table.

Jiang Yubing played the videos Shen Qingxuan recorded before right in front of her.

After watching the whole thing, she came to a conclusion.

Shen Qingxuan really was a weirdo.

That was just like him.

To think up such an odd method.

Should she praise his attention to detail, or call him silly?

She glanced at Shen Qingxuan, who was eating with his head down.

Jiang Yubing smiled to herself.

He still seemed like a shy big boy.

After dinner…

…

…

The next day.

Jiangbei High School’s field was lined with students standing in neat square formations.

“At ease!”

“Attention!”

“Align your posture!”

The freshmen under the scorching sun began a week-long military training.

Of course, the first thing was standing at military posture.

The instructor paced back and forth, eyes roaming over the group.

No one even dared to breathe loudly, and the entire square felt so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Just as they finished eating, suddenly, a voice rang out among the crowd: “Whoa, damn!”

“Who just said ‘damn’? Step out!”

The instructor grinned.

He just wanted to pick out someone to set an example, and they jumped out straight away.

It really was like someone handing over a pillow when you were sleepy.

One second.

Ten seconds.

Half a minute.

Still, no one stepped forward.

“Looks like someone is trying their luck. If you don’t step out, everyone will have to train for another hour.”

“Did you all hear me?”

“We heard you.”

Everyone’s faces were filled with misery.

“Who was it, anyway?”

“Are we all really going to get punished together just because of one person?”

“…”

“…”

Zhang Yunhao, who was standing next to Shen Qingxuan, finally stepped forward in the end.

“Reporting, instructor, it was me.”

They were desk mates in high school, and by coincidence, they were assigned to the same class again this year.

That also included Chu Yunshu.

“Explain yourself.”

“Reporting, instructor, someone just…”

Zhang Yunhao answered honestly.

“The one who farted, step out.”

As expected, the two of them were punished with half an hour of standing in military posture.

During that time, Zhao Ran waved a milk tea in his left hand and a popsicle in his right, swaying them right in front of Shen Qingxuan.

This really made Shen Qingxuan furious.

As soon as the punishment ended, he was greeted by his friends’ warm regards.

…

…

On the last day of military training.

A post appeared pinned to the top of the school forum: “Punished with one hour of military posture for farting.”

“Hahaha, this is killing me, am I supposed to inherit your thirty-two cent balance?”

“This Little brother is handsome, looks just like someone I know.”

“Don’t tell me you mean your boyfriend?”

In a hotpot restaurant near Jiangbei High School.

Shen Qingxuan still did not know that he became famous at school in such a bizarre way.

He sat around a table with Zhang Yunhao and Zhao Ran.

“Black ghost.”

Zhao Ran wore a mocking expression.

Shen Qingxuan said, “See, some people really get itchy at night.”

Zhang Yunhao replied, “Want to help him loosen up a bit?”

Shen Qingxuan nodded. “I think that’s a good idea.”

“I was wrong!”

As soon as Zhao Ran saw the two of them roll up their sleeves, he immediately admitted defeat.

For the past few days, because he could not help but mess around, he had been beaten up by the two of them more than once.

As for Zhang Yunhao turning so dark, it really was his own fault.

Last night before bed, Jiang Yubing gave her sunscreen to Shen Qingxuan.

Before training started, Shen Qingxuan finished applying it and handed it to Zhang Yunhao.

But Zhang Yunhao felt it was unnecessary, saying a grown man should not be so delicate!

Now, after being teased, he wished he could turn back time.

While the group joked around, two absolutely stunning figures walked into the restaurant.

In an instant, nearly everyone’s eyes were drawn to them.

The noise gradually faded.

“Zhao Ran, you dead thing, eating hotpot behind my back and not inviting me!”

A little girl rushed straight to Zhao Ran, reached out, and pinched his ear.
