”Go on, what are you standing there for?” Jun Yueyue frowned, putting on her young lady’s airs. Jun Yueyue was already too beautiful, and her whole persona was very flamboyant.
Having spent so many years struggling in the apocalypse, when she doesn’t restrain herself, she always exudes a strong sense of aggression, like a sharpened cleaver.
Urged on by her, the old lady did indeed walk towards the kitchen, but her steps were hesitant, as if she felt she shouldn’t do such a thing.
But many things can’t be brought out into the open. Affection is very effective in front of people who care about her, but in front of someone as unruly as Jun Yueyue, the old lady’s identity is just that of a servant. Even if Jun Yueyue sees through something, she still has to do whatever Jun Yueyue tells her to do.
If the old lady really dares to do anything to Jun Yueyue, Jun Yueyue won’t give her face just because she’s old. If she makes a scene with Grandpa Jun, even though he usually turns a blind eye to this old lady, he won’t openly protect her. After all, he still has to save face. Wouldn’t living like this prove that he’s messing with his own servant?
The old lady was quite clever, and of course she understood this principle. She obediently went to fry the eggs. However, at her age, she experienced a desolation she hadn’t felt in a long time. No matter how deep her feelings for Grandpa Jun had been for many years, the fact that she was not officially recognized as a wife was her biggest weakness.
It wasn’t until Fang Anyu finished eating that the old lady brought out the burnt fried eggs. Jun Yueyue really didn’t want to argue with her, after all, she was just an old lady.
But when she put the eggs on the table, the plate slammed against the surface with a loud bang. Fang Anyu couldn’t hear it, but Jun Yueyue wasn’t deaf.
Just then, Fang Anyu finished eating and put down his chopsticks. Jun Yueyue immediately flipped the plate of fried eggs over and slammed it onto the table. “What is this thing? Is it like donkey dung covered in frost?”
Jun Yueyue looked at the old lady’s somewhat disheveled expression with great curiosity and asked her, “Is this how you usually serve my grandfather?”
The old lady regretted it as soon as she put down the plate, but she hadn’t cooked in a long time, and she burned her hand while making just one fried egg.
”Where is our room?” Jun Yueyue was too lazy to argue with her, as long as she led the two of them back to their room.
After returning to her room, Jun Yueyue collapsed onto the bed as soon as she closed the door. After a long car ride and waiting for that old man for so long, Jun Yueyue was really tired.
After curiously circling around the room, Fang Anyu suddenly fell onto the bed, bouncing Jun Yueyue up slightly.
Jun Yueyue laughed, used her feet to propel herself into the air, then slammed down hard, sending Fang Anyu bouncing up a little further…
Then, like two kindergarten children, they played around with each other for a while before finally lying down face to face and starting to write in their notebooks again.
—Your grandfather is a bit serious. Was he unhappy to see me? He left early earlier. Did I not hear what he was saying to me?
Fang Anyu had been worried throughout the meal, but now that he was relaxed, he quickly asked Jun Yueyue.
Jun Yueyue clicked her tongue and wrote: “What’s so serious about him? He just has the face of a resentful woman. Of course, it’s not because of you. You’re so cute, and he didn’t talk to you. He knows you can’t hear him.”
Fang Anyu took the book and read it word by word before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Before coming here, Fang Anyan had repeatedly told him to behave well. Fang Anyu was afraid that he might do something wrong and upset Old Master Jun, who would then stop helping their family business.
Seeing Fang Anyu’s serious expression, Jun Yueyue knew he was overthinking again. She nudged his leg with her calf and wrote, “Do you like little fish? The one you touched today. If you like it, I’ll give it to you when we get back. It’ll fit right in the middle of that row of flowers on the balcony.”
Fang Anyu’s attention was quickly diverted by Jun Yueyue—he liked it! Really?!
Before Jun Yueyue could even reach for the notebook, Fang Anyu wrote another sentence—”Is this really for me? Why?!”
The three exclamation marks deeply expressed just how much he loved that red goldfish with its bulging belly and round eyes.
Jun Yueyue sometimes lamented that even in a novel, Fang Anyu was supposed to be a young master from a wealthy family, yet he was so pitiful, as if he had been locked in a cage since childhood, never having seen anything and finding everything strange…
Jun Yueyue sighed, picked up the notebook and wrote: “I’m really giving them to you, of course it’s because you’re cute. How many do you want?”
Fang Anyu quickly replied—Any number is fine! Then do I need to buy something to hold them? What do they eat?!
Looking at the hastily written words on the paper, Jun Yueyue confirmed that Fang Anyu’s reactions were indeed getting faster and faster.
So the reason he was so slow at first was probably because no one usually talked to him.
Such a grown man, yet he couldn’t even stay lying down and sat up because of a few fish. Jun Yueyue had never felt so satisfied with giving anything to someone else.
The main reason was that Fang Anyu’s reaction was so irresistible and exciting that Jun Yueyue was influenced by him. Even though she was the one giving someone a gift, she couldn’t help but feel excited as if she were receiving one.
Jun Yueyue smiled as she watched Fang Anyu start bouncing his legs. It seemed that if Jun Yueyue didn’t reply to him soon, he would jump on the ground.
Jun Yueyue, being mischievous, teased Fang Anyu until she started pushing her away in a hurry. She then wrote: “You don’t need to look for anything else. I’ll buy everything for you: fish, a fish tank, and an oxygen pump. If you buy all these things, the shopkeeper will give you fish food. Goldfish can only eat fish food and cannot be fed anything else.”
Previously, if the sentence was a little longer, Fang Anyu would take a long time to process it, but now, with a sentence as long as this, Fang Anyu understood it all very quickly.
His lips curled up again. This time, Jun Yueyue sat opposite him and noticed that he had a small dimple on his left cheek when he smiled. It was shallow and particularly beautiful.
Fang Anyu smiled and wrote with his dimples: “You gave me the little fish because you said I was cute. I also think you are cute. Do you have any favorite things?”
Jun Yueyue’s laughter never stopped. She found that she could laugh endlessly whenever she was with Fang Anyu. It was probably because the struggle in the apocalypse over the past few years had been too bloody and difficult. Suddenly, in this world, even teasing the little fool had become a particularly interesting thing.
Jun Yueyue asked Fang Anyu, “Are you going to give me something?”
Fang Anyu nodded—Is there anything you want?
Jun Yueyue smiled and shook her head, writing, “I don’t want anything, but I asked you what you wanted a while ago, have you thought about it?”
Fang Anyu wrote—Little Fish.
—The little fish is something I offered to give you voluntarily. It doesn’t count as something I promised you before. You can think carefully about what you want, or even think a little bigger.
Using a few small fish as payment for a night of prostitution is indeed a bit unreasonable. Jun Yueyue really thinks Fang Anyu’s silly behavior is quite cute. If he were a normal person, he would never agree to any of these conditions.
She might even turn around and accuse the other party of something, after all, this world is not like the apocalypse, where men and women are truly equal in the face of life and death. This world still tends to favor women as the weaker sex, and from a worldly perspective, it is the man who benefits from sleeping together for one night.
Fang Anyu thought about it quite seriously for a while, and finally wrote down – I can’t remember.
If Jun Yueyue hadn’t mentioned giving him the little fish, Fang Anyu, no matter how much he liked it, would never have imagined that he would be able to have it too.
He has been so used to avoiding trouble for so long that he has stopped reaching out for things, and this is not something that can be changed overnight.
Jun Yueyue wrote: “Then I’ll save it for now, and tell me when you think of it. Consider it an obligation I owe you.”
If it were a few days ago, Fang Anyu would have shaken his head and said no, but he had become very familiar with Jun Yueyue in the past few days, so he readily agreed.
The two lay in bed for a while longer writing meaningless conversations. Jun Yueyue was very patient; since she was resting anyway, she decided to have long conversations with Fang Anyu to train his reaction and comprehension skills.
This method is indeed effective in relieving the other party’s safety; its only drawback is that it wastes paper…
The notebook, which we just bought this morning, is already densely covered with scribbles by the two of us. There’s no room left, so we’ve even filled the space on the cardboard.
Jun Yueyue flipped through the notebook, searching high and low. There was nowhere left on the cover, only a small patch of bare earth beneath the 3D butterfly on the cover. But inside were sparkling little stars, and it would be a shame to pry it off…
Fang Anyu got up and searched the room, but couldn’t find anything suitable to write on. It was already dark outside. The two of them had unknowingly spent the whole afternoon in the room writing instead of sleeping…
Jun Yueyue had never worked this hard even in her senior year of high school. When she got out of bed, she realized she needed to pee. After going to the toilet and washing her hands, Fang Anyu was still rummaging through the room.
She took out her phone and glanced at the time; it was already past 5 p.m. cell phone!
Jun Yueyue quickly typed on her phone and then held it up to Fang Anyu. Fang Anyu quickly understood it, and Jun Yueyue handed the phone to him, indicating that he should type as well.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t know how…
”Don’t you even know pinyin?” Jun Yueyue asked.
Jun Yueyue brought up the handwriting panel on her phone and handed it to Fang Anyu to demonstrate. Only then did he slowly begin to write on it.
—I know pinyin.
—This is Pinyin. You’re probably not familiar with it. Wait, I’ll take you to buy a phone tomorrow and then I’ll teach you!
—You’re so good to me.
Fang Anyu wrote these words down and handed them to Jun Yueyue. It was already dark outside, but the lights inside the house were still off. The light from the phone illuminated Jun Yueyue’s face, making her smile appear somewhat lewd.
She reached out and rubbed her face, about to look up at Fang Anyu, when suddenly a light, moist kiss landed on her cheek.
Jun Yueyue looked up at him. Fang Anyu was right in front of her, his eyes brighter than her phone screen, almost blinding her.
Jun Yueyue felt another light touch on her cheek. Holding her phone, she typed out a bunch of gibberish, forgetting that he couldn’t hear her. She asked him, “What are you doing…”
Fang Anyu couldn’t hear her speak, so he gave Jun Yueyue another kiss, which landed on the corner of her lips. It was a tentative kiss, but also a kiss filled with genuine affection, tender, moist, and passionate.
How the two kissed was unclear to Jun Yueyue. The room was dark, and her phone was lying face down on the bed. She had her hands around Fang Anyu’s neck, and Fang Anyu was holding her waist. They lingered from the bedside to the table, reluctant to part.
Jun Yueyue was held by Fang Anyu and sat on the table. She looked up at him and kissed him. It was their first kiss. At first, it was awkward, but later it became deep and passionate, making them both feel dizzy.
With a buzzing sound in her ears, Jun Yueyue felt as if she had been infected with deafness by Fang Anyu. It wasn’t until the door was pushed open and Fang Anyan stood in the doorway, frowning at the two of them, looking both embarrassed and angry, that Jun Yueyue suddenly regained her hearing.
”Dinner is ready.” Fang Anyan said the three words through gritted teeth.
Jun Yueyue wiped the water from her lips, pushed away Fang Anyu who looked a little dazed, jumped off the table, met Fang Anyan’s gaze, and for the first time ever, felt a little guilty…
She knew why Fang Anyan was angry with her. It was because what she had said at the dinner table was unacceptable from a family perspective. However, Jun Yueyue didn’t explain. Everyone has to look out for themselves. She wanted money, and she would say what she needed to say without directly harming Fang Anyu.
Moreover, Jun Yueyue did not believe that Fang Anyan would tell Fang Anyu what she had said, since Fang Anyan cared about Fang Anyu more than she did.
”Okay,” Jun Yueyue coughed and walked to the wall to turn on the light.
Fang Anyan remained standing at the door, looking at his brother’s bewildered expression. He bit his cheek and finally lowered his voice to say to Jun Yueyue, “Don’t forget, you’re going to get a divorce when you get back. What are you trying to do by treating my brother like this?”
Jun Yueyue straightened her clothes, leaned against the door, and said in a low voice, “Would you believe me if I said your brother kissed me first?”
”You’re talking nonsense!” Fang Anyan pointed his finger at Jun Yueyue’s nose. “Don’t you know what’s going on with my brother? What could he possibly know? You…”
”Ahem.” Jun Yu came out of the room at some point and was turning her wheelchair towards the corridor. Behind her was Old Master Jun. She coughed lightly, and Fang Anyan immediately withdrew his hand and walked quickly to Old Master Jun’s side, taking Jun Yu’s wheelchair from him.
Jun Yueyue really didn’t want to eat this meal. She had eaten quite a lot at noon and wasn’t hungry yet. Besides, the strange atmosphere at the dining table would make her indigestion more likely.
However, Fang Anyu’s digestion was very good, and he ate three meals a day on time. Jun Yueyue couldn’t help but smile when she thought of this. He was just being a hooligan, so he must be hungry now.
So she completely ignored Jun Yu and Grandpa Jun who were walking this way, and directly closed the door. After closing the door, she walked to Fang Anyu’s side, saw that he was still standing there dumbfounded, and reached out to pat his face.
”Snap out of it, you silly goose…”
Jun Yueyue muttered something under her breath, picked up her phone from the bed and typed, “It’s time to eat, let’s go downstairs to eat!”
The atmosphere at dinner that evening was still strange. Old Master Jun looked even worse than at noon because he had been turned away earlier.
As a result, Fang Anyan and Jun Yu didn’t even know what the food tasted like, as they were constantly watching Old Master Jun’s expression. In the end, it was Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyu who ate their fill and enjoyed their food the most.
In the evening, Jun Yueyue and Fang Anyu returned to their room. After washing up, the two little ones lay on the bed and communicated via their mobile phones.
Fang Anyu types extremely slowly, and has to use the full keyboard with Pinyin. Sometimes his adult fingers will mistype, and sometimes he can’t even type a sentence after a long time.
Jun Yueyue didn’t rush him. She chatted with him in a daze, making small talk about trivial things, such as the toothbrush bristles being a bit stiff and suggesting he bring his own from home, or Fang Anyu saying the shower gel smelled nice and Jun Yueyue telling him to pack it up and take it with him when he left.
Before they knew it, it was 9:30 p.m. Both of them were a little sleepy and were just about to go to bed when there was a sudden knock on the door.
