Lin Chuan looked down at the place for signatures and then asked, “I’ll sign here, where will you sign?”
“I’ll sign right below you.”
Shen Qianqian pointed to the area below the signature line, where a space for signing was reserved in the document.
“No, I should be at the bottom!” Lin Chuan knew well the order of signing.
“You on top, that’s okay, this is your work as well,” Shen Qianqian said with pursed lips.
“I need to be at the bottom.”
“I want you to be on top!”
“Qianqian, you should be on top!”
“No Lin Chuan, you on top, me on the bottom, that’s most suitable.”
“Oh…”
As the two argued, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat flirtatious.
The issue of who signed on top or bottom became oddly suggestive between Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan.
The living room’s light wasn’t that bright white but rather a cozy pale yellow. At this moment, it cast their shadows close together, merging into one.
Shen Qianqian wore a light white gauze shirt paired with a denim skirt, possessing a playful yet intellectual beauty.
Under the interplay of light and shadow, her features appeared particularly delicate, each inch of skin snow-white and tender, in the prime of youth, like a flower in full bloom, so alluring it seemed Lin Chuan could, with a single thought, pluck this beautiful flower like a hungry wolf.
Lin Chuan took a deep breath.
Towards Shen Qianqian, besides some fondness, he felt an indescribable emotion.
Xinxin gave him a sense of docility and compliance, comfortable to be around, with no pressure.
And what about Shen Qianqian, this rose of Anling? She gave him the feeling that she was always by his side.
——Just turn around, and there she would be, blossoming.
It was a habit.
Humans are creatures greatly dependent on habits. A comfort zone, a haven, that makes one reluctant to leave.
A hacker gets used to a keyboard, an assassin to a knife; without these habitual things, they feel an emptiness, as if something is missing, uncomfortable in every way.
Lin Chuan suddenly sighed.
——It would be great if this were a fantasy novel.
No need to think too much, just marry whoever you like; free from rules and norms, and conventional morality wouldn’t judge these matters with its strange eyes.
Or, perhaps being born in Saudi wouldn’t be so bad.
It’s said there that a man can marry four wives.
Lin Chuan didn’t delve deeply, it was only hearsay, but the Shen Qianqian before him once again plunged him into a dilemma.
‘Alas, I am just too outstanding!’
Lin Chuan sighed inwardly. Back when his writing career flopped, he hadn’t even managed to properly hold a girl’s hand.
Now, this must be the ultimate fantasy for a web novel writer!
“We don’t need to dwell on this issue anymore, I’ll sign first.” Shen Qianqian, realizing the inappropriateness, took the lead to break the stillness and ambiance, picked up the pen, and quickly signed her name on the document.
Without another word, Lin Chuan immediately signed his name below Shen Qianqian’s.
He couldn’t get tangled up with who was on top or bottom any longer, otherwise, he’d end up spending the night here.
“Lin Chuan, do you think I’m a casual girl?” Shen Qianqian suddenly asked, a trace of melancholy flashing in her eyes.
If just then, Lin Chuan had really pounced on her…
Her wish would have been fulfilled, and she probably wouldn’t worry about these things anymore.
But Lin Chuan didn’t.
That just added a tinge of emptiness to her heart, as if wishing into the void with not even a demon answering her call.
Lin Chuan took a sip of tea and said solemnly, “Of course you are not.”
Shen Qianqian bit her lip, propped herself up with her hands on the couch, took a deep breath, and revealed a smile, “Alright, we’ve finished our business, let’s go downstairs, I’ll take you home.”
As she spoke those words, her heart clenched.
Shen Qianqian suddenly regretted that she had met Lin Chuan through a case; otherwise, she might have beaten Xinxin to the punch.
“Okay,” Lin Chuan nodded.
Just as they stood up, a ‘thud, thud, thud’ of knocking on the door echoed.
