Chapter 34: Shi Shi
Translator: Nyoi_Bo_StudioEditor: Tennesh
Shi Shi was the kind of girl that would wear summer clothing even when the weather was cold. She always complained that she wasn’t born in a warmer place so that she could go out dressed in a short skirt all year long without being criticized by her parents.
From her appearance, Shi Shi seemed like the lovely style. The clothing she wore was mostly Japanese style with a lot of layers and many matching accessories. She liked to talk by using a falsetto voice. From her appearance and her clothing style, she was appealing to male otakus.
However, she was not interested in male otakus. Her goal was to find and marry a self-made millionaire. It would be even more ideal if his parents were deceased and he had no siblings or any single relatives living under the poverty line. It would be even better if his age was under thirty-five years old. Nevertheless, this wish temporarily hadn’t been granted, and she was still diligently searching for a target…
Shi Shi and Zhao Qi were close friends who worked at the same company and often went out together for fun. The reason they were good together was simply because they had different styles and never had to worry about one of them surpassing the other. They could be considered to complement each other.
This was not the first time Shi Shi had been a guest in Zhao Qi’s apartment. She easily found her way through this little neighborhood and went up the elevator while carrying a huge bag of snacks in her left hand. After the elevator stopped, she stood in front of Zhao Qi’s door and pressed the doorbell.
After a while, the ”da da da” of slipper sounds behind the door could be heard. A shadow dazzled through the peephole. Spontaneously, Shi Shi immediately posed with her finger making the ”V” sign.
”Qi Qi, it’s me!”
As the door lock clicked, the door opened.
”Ghost!” Shi Shi turned around and was ready to run off, but Qi Qi pulled her from behind.
”What ghost! Get in, please!”
Zhao Qi dragged the constantly struggling girl into the room, then shut the door.
Shi Shi was trembling with fear. She looked Zhao Qi up and down many times before finally being able to confirm that she was not a ghost.
It was only afternoon, but Zhao Qi looked like she had just woken up. Her hair was messy. All the curtains in the room were kept sealed, so the room was very dark. Hence, under the black and white contrast, Zhao Qi’s pale face and her white night robe seemed very terrifying.
”Qi Qi, you, you, you…” Shi Shi pointed at Zhao Qi and couldn’t make a sound.
Zhao Qi pulled her hair back and said, ”Oh, I was busy with an argument and forgot to wash my face. You can take a seat. I will go and clean myself up.” She took the bath towel and went to the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water came to Shi Shi’s ears.
Argument? With who? The new assistant?
Millions of questions filled Shi Shi’s head, but she would rather wait than go to the bathroom and ask Zhao Qi.
The computer in the bedroom was still on. She put down the snack bag and opened all the curtains and windows in each room. The rooms brightened up right away.
”Meow…”
She turned around and saw a round, hairy kitten leaning against Zhao Qi’s pillow. It was curiously and cautiously staring at her like a stranger.
”Hey, are you Lan Lan? You are so cute, even prettier than the one in the pictures!” Shi Shi was not immune to cute little animals. Her eyes filled with many red hearts, and she rushed over instantly.
Lan Lan was frightened and took many steps back, curling up its body.
