Chapter 156 – Girlfriend Requirements
“Hah, I was wondering who it was, isn’t this the violent woman who injured my manservant?”
The door of the big bedroom was opened a crack. Ai Mi was wearing a nightgown and stood in barefoot while watching us through the opening. Her eyes emitted a blue light like a cat.
Her hair was a bit messy, but it didn’t seem like she just got off bed, she looked clear headed — did she hide behind the door and eavesdrop on our entire conversation?
Xiao Qin was still immersed in the joy of her confession being accepted, and she did not rush to bicker with Ai Mi as usual.
This room was pretty dark. I only turned on the one of the LED illumination lights. It only provided as much light as a candle.
Ai Mi put a hand on her mouth and yawned, making it seem like she hasn’t woken up yet and swayed into the living room.
However, her destination was not next to me, but the refrigerator behind the sofa.
She opened the refrigerator door and looked inside for a long time. It might be because she thought the goods inside were meager and she showed a displeased expression. Finally, she found a carton of milk, so she put in her own straw and started to drink. The room was filled with the sound of her sucking milk.
After drinking a big gulp, she squinted at Xiao Qin with disdain:
“Hmph, how can you act so low when you like someone, do you even have any self-respect?”
“What does that have to do with anything!” Xiao Qin shouted. “It’s enough as long as Ye Lin classmate likes me! I’ve already thrown away my self-respect as it only gets in my way!”
Ai Mi frowned and took another sip of milk.
“You can’t tell? The manservant is only putting on an act! He doesn’t actually like you!”
Ai Mi’s words made me tremble: How could this little girl guess my thoughts? Was it because she spent too much time with her mother and also learned the art of “observation”?
“No, no way!” Xiao Qin glanced at me as if she was seeking support. That glance felt like a thorn stabbing into my heart. “The reason Ye Lin classmate wants to keep our relationship a secret is because he’s shy! I’ll do my best and our relationship will definitely become public!”
Since Ai Mi was eavesdropping, it should be fine if we tell her. That’s what Xiao Qin thought, right?
“Ai Mi, don’t walk around barefoot, you might catch a cold.” I didn’t want the two girls to quarrel, so I tried to slightly change the topic.
“My business with Xiao Qin has nothing to do with you, go back to bed.”
Ai Mi became unhappy.
“How does it have nothing to do with me? You are my subordinate, my manservant! Your girlfriend has to be approved by your master!”
She spoke angrily.
“What if it’s a spy? What if it’s someone sent by mother? What if you listen to her every word and end up harming me?”
Another series of rhetorical questions.
“Who’s your mother’s spy!” Xiao Qin protested. “Also, it’s just wishful thinking that you think Ye Lin classmate is your manservant! It’s not like he received salary from you!”
Actually, I have received a salary… The two pieces of underwear you bought with me was paid with Ai Mi’s credit card.
Ai Mi did not refute Xiao Qin about the issue of salary. She just turned her head and sized up Xiao Qin from top to bottom.
“Did you run all the way without an umbrella in this heavy rain? You have such a sorry figure, how boorish!”
After Ai Mi’s words, Xiao Qin remembered about how she dirtied the floor, and she lowered her head with self blame.
Hey, Ai Mi, that’s enough! Speaking of dirtying the floor, when you came in, you didn’t even change your shoes and you walked straight to the living room. You left way more footprints than Xiao Qin! I spent a lot of effort to wipe it clean when you were taking a shower!
When Ai Mi taunted Xiao Qin, her tone made it seem like she was older.
“Hey, even if you haven’t confessed before, you should have at least watched TV? You should at least wear some good clothing and dress yourself up a bit… Who would like you when you’re wearing that ugly uniform and look like a drowned rat? The manservant promised to be your boyfriend only because he pitied you…”
Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment and blinked her misty eyes.
Ai Mi curled her blond hair around her finger and said proudly.
“Men, subconsciously chase beautiful bodies. If you don’t even know how to dress up, the manservant will dump you quickly.” She said as she looked at me, “Right?”
“I’ve never said that!” I said against my will. I did make a plan to abandon Xiao Qin, but it was not because of her body.
When she spoke, Ai Mi’s delicate body was faintly visible through her nightgown. Her carefully groomed hair and delicate facial features were impeccable.
By contrast, on Xiao Qin’s upper body, was a school uniform that was tangled in the rain. There was also a lot of mud on the legs of her trousers, not to mention the sneakers endured thousands of miles.
There was also her face, there were tears and rain. Her face was a mess.
Ai Mi stood proudly across from Xiao Qin, drinking milk while sneering at Xiao Qin as if the other party was a vulnerable enemy. Like someone who was not even on the same level as her.
“Hmph, for a girl who can’t even confess, even if it was a spy sent by mother, you would only cause her more trouble!” Ai Mi smirked. “If the manservant wants to play with you, I’ll let him play with you. Oh right, the manservant’s girlfriend is obviously a maidservant! Violent woman, your status has dropped!”
When she finished, she took the carton of milk and walked back to the big bedroom.
Before she closed the door, she said:
“I’m going to go to bed! I have a packed schedule tomorrow! You guys can do whatever you want as long as you don’t disturb my rest.”
Her tone was like a southern slave owner before the American Civil War. A completely indifferent tone when talking to your slaves.
But when she closed the door, she slammed it hard, as if she was angry with someone.
Thus only Xiao Qin and I remained in the living room.
Under the dim light, she trembled a little, and she could not lift her head because of her sorry figure.
“Ye, Ye Lin classmate, can I use the shower?”
She asked.
“Go ahead, use more hot water, don’t catch a cold, I’ll help you find some clothes…”
I was worried, there’s definitely no clothes suitable for Xiao Qin at my house. Ai Mi’s clothes aren’t the right size either.
“Whatever, I’ll find a way! You should hurry up and take a hot bath!”
“Wait, I want to confirm it again…” Xiao Qin took a deep breath. “Ye Lin classmate, I’m your girlfriend now, right? It wasn’t a dream?”
“It’s not a dream!” I urged her, “Hurry and go take a hot bath!”
“In that case…” Xiao Qin shyly put her two index fingers together. “Since we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, bathing together…”
I interrupted her angrily. “Keep dreaming! There are conditions to be my girlfriend! The first one is never asking to take a bath with me!”
“What, why!”
“That’s a rule! If you don’t want to follow it, you don’t have to be my girlfriend! I won’t force you, you’re free to come and go!”
I crossed my arms in front of my chest and looked impatient.
“Okay, okay!” Xiao Qin said and started taking off her clothes.
“You dare!” I muttered. “The second rule is you’re not allowed to undress in front of me! Go to the bathroom to undress!”
Xiao Qin reluctantly put on a pair of slippers and slowly walked to the bathroom while constantly looking back.
I was able to relax a bit when I heard the sound of water. I then headed to a wardrobe to look for some clothes for Xiao Qin.
First, I found a gray shirt. It was what I wore in the sixth grade. It is now too small for me, but it should be just right for Xiao Qin.
Then I found trousers from the primary school uniform. Fortunately, I didn’t throw it away. This should fit Xiao Qin too.
I suddenly realized that since Xiao Qin was completely drenched, she would need to change all her clothing.
Although I can’t find a bra for her, but I might have to provide underwear for her?
She hasn’t worn a bra for many years, so she wouldn’t feel weird without a bra, but it would feel a bit strange without underwear.
I never thought that one day I would lend my manly boxers to a girl.
I will choose this black one! I always felt there was something wrong with the elastic. Although it might be a bit loose when Xiao Qin wears it, it should not fall.
I put it in front of my nose and smelled it, there was no strange smell. Even if I had a wet dream in this underwear, it has already been washed clean.
I’m really perverted! I’m smelling my own underwear! I’m also giving a girl a pair of underwear that I may have had a wet dream in!
But there is no other way! Xiao Qin needs dry clothes when she leaves the bathroom!
Xiao Qin took a 40 minute bath. I was getting really sleepy holding these clothes and waiting on the sofa.
Finally, the bathroom door opened a slit. Along with the hot air, Xiao Qin stuck out a pink foot looking for her slippers.
I quickly threw my clothes on the sofa and turned around to avoid seeing her naked body.
“Change your clothes before you talk to me! Otherwise, you can’t be my girlfriend!”
Xiao Qin mumbled while following my orders.
As soon as she changed her clothes, Xiao Qin jumped in front of me like a butterfly.
After bathing, she had a completely new look. Her rosy cheeks seems to have a spring breeze, and the twinkle in her eyes were brighter than usual.
The shirt was still a bit big on her, the wide sleeves hid her fingertips. The old uniform pants was a good fit — is it because my legs are short?
“Haha, Ye Lin classmate’s clothes are really itchy! It feels like someone is tickling me!” She carefully smelled the sleeves of the T-shirt. “How pungent! It smells like Ye Lin classmates…”
That’s the smell of moth balls! Those old clothes are not being worn anymore. If you don’t add moth balls, they would get damaged by bugs!
“(*^__^*)Hehe… People use the term ‘wearing the same pair of pants’ to describe a good relationship between two people. Now my friendship with Ye Lin classmate is good to the point of… wearing the same pair of underwear!”
Don’t mention it again! Also, you don’t have to return the underwear! You don’t have to return the clothes either!
“Really, really?” Xiao Qin stroked the collar of the T-shirt with love. “I’ll treat these clothes as heirlooms and carefully preserve them!”
Enough! Is your family heirloom so worthless? It’s just some old clothes, people might not even accept it if you donate it to mountain villages!
Xiao Qin was so excited because she was wearing my clothes, but suddenly she thought of something and stood still with a red face.
“Ye Lin, since we’re lovers, we can sleep together at night…”
I didn’t say a word, I used my eyes to stare at her.
Xiao Qin discharged her anger and said with disappointment: “I understand, the third rule of being your girlfriend is that I can’t ask to sleep together, right?”
I nodded.
“Not only that, but you have to promise that you will behave yourself and sleep at night, you’re not allowed to attack me night, nor are you allowed to attack Ai Mi. You can’t go through the stuff in my room either! If you can’t do it, I’ll fire you!”
Xiao Qin agreed to the terms dejectedly.
Finally, I arranged her to sleep in my bedroom, and I ran to sleep in my father’s study room for a night.
The next morning, I opened my eyes in exhaustion. When I left the study to use the washroom, I found that my home was occupied by more than a dozen men in black.
Peng TouSi stood in the middle of them and smiled at me ambiguously.
