The 99th Divorce

Shen Zhilie was indignant as he said, “Besides, what’s wrong with living together? It’s not like we’re sharing a bed! We haven’t done anything! What the f*ck do we have to be scared of?”

Upon hearing that, Ye Qianqian’s face bizarrely began to heat up.

Her eyes widened as she looked at him. Under the dim streetlamp, her complexion took on a suspicious red hue.

“Furthermore, even if we were sharing a bed, what’s the big deal? You’re not married, and neither am I! Even if we did end up together, it would be a reasonable and natural development!”

“You…” Ye Qianqian was at a loss of what to say to rebut him.

Shen Zhilie’s eyes were opened wide too. He bent over slightly and lowered his body as he eyed her suspiciously. Frowning at her with a strange expression, he asked, “Are you blushing?”

Ye Qianqian was unsettled at having been scrutinized so closely. She raised her leg to kick him as she yelled, “Scram! Blushing? Over my dead body!”

Shen Zhilie quickly used his hands to block his precious jewels and jumped a step back in fright. He reached out to pat his chest and said, “Oh my god, darling. You mustn’t do that! My future happiness and life all depend on it! If you were to damage it, what am I to use in the future?”

Ye Qianqian turned around and marched off in a huff.

Her face continued to heat up.

The only thought in her mind was the image of Shen Zhilie with his hands over his nether jewels. If he were undressed…

Oh god!

Her whole mind was filled with dirty thoughts!

Ye Qianqian tried to shake the thoughts out of her mind and quickened her steps.

She wasn’t far from home. The walk back would only take a little more than 10 minutes.

Shen Zhilie watched her as she continued picking up her pace. He picked up his luggage and ran up to her, shouting along the way, “Hey, slow down! Walking so quickly after eating can cause indigestion! I’m warning you! If your stomach starts hurting later, I’m not going to take care of you!”

Ye Qianqian’s steps gradually slowed, but the strange emotions that had taken root in her heart began to spread.

It came without sound or warning and couldn’t be ignored.

Her heartbeat quickened, and her face heated up. This seemed to strangely resemble the symptoms of falling in love!

Ye Qianqian suddenly realized that she was finding it increasingly harder to control herself and her emotions around Shen Zhilie. Such a situation wasn’t ideal.

That guy was such a rascal and unreliable. What would happen if she fell for such a person?

No! No way!

Ye Qianqian, get it together!

Shen Zhilie observed her from behind. With the corners of his lips turning up in a smile, he hurried up to her and said, “Wait for me! The luggage is very heavy!”

Ye Qianqian made a grunt of acknowledgment and didn’t say anything further.

They soon reached home. Ye Qianqian took out her key and entered the key code. When they stepped into the house, the whole place was dark.

Like clockwork, Ye Qianqian switched on the lights, walked in, headed to the balcony to collect her laundry, and got ready to take a bath.

Shen Zhilie glanced at her and said, “Don’t shower right after taking a walk. It’s not good for the body. Take a short break first.”

The heat Ye Qianqian felt on her face had yet to dissipate. She didn’t turn around and look back as she retorted, “It’s none of your business!”

With that, she entered the bathroom.

The bathroom was separated by glass. Ye Qianqian slid the curtain close whenever she took a bath.

The other person living in the apartment was a man after all. It wouldn’t be good if he caught a glimpse of her.

In the meantime, Shen Zhilie wasn’t annoyed at being yelled at. Instead, he found Ye Qianqian cute.

Shen Zhilie rubbed his nose and suddenly wondered to himself if he was crazy and starting to develop masochistic tendencies.

He switched on the air-conditioner. He resignedly opened his luggage and started to unpack his clothing.

Before he could even get through a few pieces of clothing, the light above his head began to flicker. In a few moments, the whole apartment was plunged into darkness.

“Shen Zhilie! Stop playing your practical jokes!”
