Urban Soldier Young Master
Chapter 801 800: Thermos Flask
Facing Qin Ruojing's gaze, Chu Ge was even more speechless inside. He knew Qin Ruojing naturally had a good view, and now she got out of bed and walked towards him, making the angle even better.
The only thing he was thankful for was that there were so many players in this game. The messages on the screen were endless, and even if he didn't look, he knew that in less than a second, the message from that "Little Waist Swaying" would be pushed off the screen. If Qin Ruojing happened to glance at it without meaning to, she might not even notice that fleeting line of yellow text.
However, even so, Chu Ge still felt a bit guilty. As the saying goes, it's not fear of a ten thousand, just in case. If Qin Ruojing actually saw it, it would be too embarrassing. At this point in time, he couldn't make any sudden moves. If he quit the game or turned off the computer, that would make him seem even more suspicious.
"Aren't you playing games? Why are you staring at me?" Qin Ruojing got out of bed, looked at Chu Ge puzzled, and picked up the water cup from the bedside table.
"The game isn't as nice to look at as you are, you were busy just now, weren't you? Otherwise, why would I get on the game?" As the words came out, Chu Ge paused for half a second, rubbed his nose, and chuckled, "Isn't it better to have an in-depth exchange with my wife?"
"Why are you such a rogue?" Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, flicked him on the forehead as she passed by, feeling both amused and annoyed, then walked out of the bedroom with her cup.
"It's just the two of us, why should I be afraid of being a bit roguish?" Chu Ge mumbled with a laugh as Qin Ruojing walked into the living room, and only then did he turn his gaze back to the screen, giving him a sudden fright.
Shu Lulu's message was still on the screen. After all this time, this crazy little girl had sent more than just one message; those lines of yellow text were extremely eye-catching on the screen.
"Thank you everyone, it was really just a misunderstanding. My husband was trying to surprise me, he was just teasing me earlier. Sorry for the trouble everyone!"
This message repeated over and over on the screen, mixed with words from others like "It's okay," "Don't mention it," "Let us know if you need anything," "You city folks really know how to play," and some even praised this couple's names, saying "Little Waist Swaying" and "Old Waist Thrusting" were a perfect match.
The only one out of place with these messages was the "Solitary Shadow Flowing Cup" message.
Even though Shu Lulu had said it was a misunderstanding, he continued to "point and curse" Old Waist Thrusting repeatedly, with each curse followed by a continuously increasing number.
Seeing these messy yellow texts and hearing Qin Ruojing's footsteps returning from the living room, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, quickly sending a private message to Shu Lulu before logging off hurriedly with the excuse of something urgent, all the while wondering if Qin Ruojing had seen what was on the screen moments ago.
Qin Ruojing walked back into the bedroom holding a cup, took a sip of water, looked at Chu Ge and then at the computer screen, "Hmm? Not playing anymore?"
Chu Ge stretched lazily and replied with a guilty smile, "Yeah, a bit tired, not playing anymore."
Qin Ruojing handed the water cup to Chu Ge, "You've been sitting for a while, have some water. I've just finished what I was doing, too, so how about we chat for a bit?"
Chu Ge nodded, took a sip of water from the cup, placed it on the table, and then sat up against the headboard on the bed.
After being called "husband" so many times by Shu Lulu in the game, with Qin Ruojing sitting beside him now, he definitely didn't want to stay by the computer any longer; it felt too awkward.
Qin Ruojing climbed onto the bed too, turning her back to Chu Ge, "Can you massage my shoulders? It's been quite a while since I last asked. Not sure if it was from taking photos the other day or sitting too long today, but my shoulders and back are a bit sore. Remember to be gentle."
Chu Ge naturally obliged, placing his big hands on Qin Ruojing's shoulders, asking her questions while gauging the strength to massage her.
As Chu Ge massaged Qin Ruojing's shoulders, maybe he pressed a bit too hard at one point because she suddenly let out a soft hum.
Chu Ge was still thinking about the game earlier but was brought back to reality by this sound, "Honey, did I press too hard?"
"It's fine, feels good."
Chu Ge chuckled, about to say something, when Qin Ruojing's next question made his expression tense, and his hands stopped moving.
"Hubby, I've been pondering something these past two days. In your contacts... what exactly have you labeled me as?"
Although Qin Ruojing didn't mention anything else, Chu Ge didn't dare take it lightly. Who knows if she'll bring up other contact names?
Chu Ge laughed nervously, "Uh, can't you guess?"
"Nope, just tell me the answer."
Chu Ge scratched his head, "I labeled you as... Thermos Bottle."
"Ther...Thermos?" Qin Ruojing froze, blinked her eyes, and turned her head slightly frowning, "My nickname is Thermos?"
Chu Ge gave an awkward laugh and nodded. Qin Ruojing, upon confirmation, couldn't help but look a bit upset. Among all the nicknames, Thermos was the one that left her speechless and even creeped out the most, yet this nickname was hers?
Feeling a bit heated inside, Qin Ruojing smoothed out her slightly furrowed brow and gave Chu Ge a slight smile, "In your eyes, do I look like a thermos? Or does my figure resemble a thermos?"
Chu Ge shook his head, "Of course, that's not what I meant."
Qin Ruojing immediately asked, "Then what do you mean?"
"Well..." Chu Ge chuckled, lifted his hand to scratch his head, cleared his throat, and then continued, "As the name implies, the main function of a thermos is to keep things warm, right?"
Qin Ruojing neither agreed nor disagreed, feeling huffy inside, wasn't this just stating the obvious?
Chu Ge didn't keep her guessing further and continued softly, "However, no matter how hot the water inside a thermos is, it feels cool to the touch on the outside. Aren't you just like that? Cold on the outside but warm inside, even if you do a lot for others, you won't speak of it."
Qin Ruojing was stunned. When she first saw the word "thermos," she only thought of the appearance of the object, never considering what Chu Ge was implying. So, this was what Chu Ge meant by this nickname.
Now understanding the explanation, Qin Ruojing suddenly realized, her mood turning from cloudy to clear. However, she teased, giving Chu Ge a suspicious look, "I wonder... are you just saying this to make me happy?"
"Of course not, I'm speaking from the heart. If I were to describe looks and figure, you'd definitely be a little Coke. How could you possibly resemble a thermos? It's just that your husband doesn't just appreciate your outer beauty, the nickname I give you has to have some depth, right?"
Qin Ruojing couldn't help but smile, both reproachful and amused, "You, you speak as if it's true. Your mouth is getting more and more deceitful, I shouldn't believe you."
Chu Ge chuckled, "I'm speaking the truth. While I might be good at smooth-talking usually, I wouldn't use it on my dear wife in matters like this."
Hearing Chu Ge speak like this, Qin Ruojing couldn't help but enjoy it, though intentionally rolled her eyes at him, "What, feeling guilty? Saying so much?"
Chu Ge shook his head, reining in his signature smile, his gaze becoming extremely tender.
"Wife, I wouldn't dare to say I've never lied to you, but I promise every word I just said came from the heart. Your beauty is from the inside out, the longer I'm with you, the more captivating it becomes. The aura you exude is like a vintage wine that has been treasured for a century, so fragrant, so aromatic."
"Wife, you know I'm an orphan, I don't know if my family has an ancestral grave, if it does, I don't know where it is. But the one thing I'm certain of is that ever since I met you, and up to now, my family's ancestral grave must be billowing with green smoke."
Watching Chu Ge's immensely sincere expression and listening to his loving words, Qin Ruojing felt a surge of warmth in her heart, a feeling so tangible and filled with happiness.
"You..." Staring into Chu Ge's eyes, Qin Ruojing sighed gently with a smile, "I'll take your words as true, but if you're lying to me..."
Just as Chu Ge was about to speak, Qin Ruojing raised her hand to block his lips, casting a gentle sidelong glance at him and whispers, "I hope you can lie to me for a lifetime, a lifetime is such a long time, do you... have the confidence?"
Facing Qin Ruojing's eyes that resembled rippling autumn waters, Chu Ge nodded without hesitation. Seeing her smiling like a blossoming flower, his heart was full of tenderness, and he slowly leaned forward.
"Wait a minute... I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth yet." Qin Ruojing raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Chu Ge, feeling a bit stirred, saw the smile on Qin Ruojing's face, gently moved her soft hand aside, grinned, and shook his head, "Let's not wash today, the original taste is more aromatic!"
Qin Ruojing, helpless yet happy, smiled again, once more covering her mouth with her hand, teasing relentlessly, "But you say I am a thermos, aren't you afraid of getting scalded by the water inside this thermos?"
"Of course not." Chu Ge's smile became even brighter, "Besides, your husband has a high heat tolerance, otherwise, how could I have discovered your goodness? At first, you treated me like dirt, and when I first came home with you, you guarded me like a thief. Only your husband like me could bear it because if it were anyone else, they would have been scared off by your attitude back then."
Qin Ruojing flicked Chu Ge on the forehead, "You and your smooth talk, when did I ever treat you like that? I've always been pretty good to you, haven't I? Besides, you probably aren't aware, but sometimes when you smile, you have this super cocky look, like asking for a beating?"
Chu Ge chuckled, "Of course, I know that, but... shouldn't we stop talking about this now?"
Qin Ruojing retorted, "Then what should we talk about?"
Chu Ge's mouth curled up into another grin.
