Join the ServerYao: [The new pajamas were sent to the dry cleaners; I’ll go pick them up tomorrow.]
Cheng’s voice carried obvious disappointment.
– Then when will you wear them for your husband?
Yao: [When I go home for the weekend; it’s not convenient in the dorm.]
Yao: [Stop asking me questions; it’s not convenient to type while we’re on video.]
In truth, she was afraid that if she grew careless while typing, she might accidentally expose her face by tilting the phone.
After typing that sentence, she switched back to the video feed and no longer responded to anything Cheng said.
Gao Cheng let out a light sigh of disappointment, coaxing her in a low voice that sounded almost like a plea.
– Wifey… undo the buttons, I want to see you…
Separated by only a bed curtain, the space inside was dim and filled with sensual allure.
Only a blurred layer separated two completely different worlds.
Through the headphones, Cheng’s murmurs came continuously, his voice growing lower and raspier until only muffled, suppressed gasps remained.
Shi Kezhen bit her lip and closed her eyes…
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng called out in a low, strained voice.
– Wifey… you are my life!
Afterward, the video call remained connected, but Shi Kezhen no longer held her phone, placing it face down on the bed.
She buried her face in the pillow, listening to the breathing in the headphones as it gradually settled.
Outside the curtains, her roommates were still chatting.
At this moment, only one thought occupied Shi Kezhen’s mind.
What if Shi Yanzhou knew?
What if Mother Shi knew?
What if the rest of the Shi family knew?
That the submissive, obedient little wife they had controlled since childhood actually dared to do something so shameless.
That she actually dared to cuckold Shi Yanzhou…
She really wanted to see the expressions on their faces when they found out; it would surely be spectacular.
Just thinking about it gave her an indescribable sense of painful revenge and rebellious pleasure.
***
Another week passed.
On Friday afternoon, Uncle Li, the Shi family driver, arrived early to wait at the Jingda gates.
By five o’clock, Shi Kezhen was already waiting near the gates for Shi Yanzhou.
Without him, she would not step out of the school gates alone.
Otherwise, the first thing the talkative Uncle Li would do upon returning to the Shi house would be to report her to Mother Shi.
After waiting for ten minutes with no sign of Shi Yanzhou, she felt a trace of displeasure and called him again.
– “Hello?”
– “Yanzhou, are you coming out? Uncle Li is waiting at the gate.”
Her voice was soft and gentle, betraying no emotion whatsoever.
– “Stop nagging me, I’m almost there!”
Shi Yanzhou shouted impatiently before hanging up.
Nearly twenty more minutes passed before Shi Yanzhou’s figure finally appeared in Shi Kezhen’s sight.
He wasn’t alone; a human ornament was clinging to him.
As the two of them walked up to her in an intimate display, Li Yunshu looked up and spared her a glance but did not greet her.
Li Yunshu made no effort to hide her hostility and disgust toward Shi Kezhen.
Shi Kezhen felt no need to please her, nor did she display any reciprocating hostility; she simply ignored her as she always did.
It was as if there weren’t two people standing before her, but only Shi Yanzhou.
Shi Kezhen looked at Shi Yanzhou, her voice steady.
– “Yanzhou, let’s go. Uncle Li is waiting.”
Shi Yanzhou didn’t look at her, lowering his head to speak to Li Yunshu.
– “I’m heading back. I’ll call you tonight.”
Li Yunshu stood on her tiptoes, hooking her arms around his neck to kiss his lips, appearing reluctant to part.
– “Call me to let me know you’ve arrived safely once you’re home.”
‘Arrived safely?’
Shi Kezhen almost couldn’t stop herself from rolling her eyes.
It wasn’t like he was traveling a great distance; he was returning to his own home, and in a car sent specifically by the Shi family.
What was there to report as safe? Was it necessary? Who was she trying to nauseate?
She maintained a faint smile, waiting patiently for this pair of secret lovers to bid their sweet farewells right in front of her, the rightful wife.
After a full ten minutes of goodbyes, Shi Yanzhou finally waved off his beloved girlfriend and followed her toward the car with a reluctant expression.
Since she had sensibly refrained from bothering him for the past few days, he unusually showed her a bit of a pleasant face.
Upon arriving at the Shi house, he no longer walked ahead alone but waited to enter the house side-by-side with her.
Mother Shi was sitting on the living room sofa. As she saw the two of them enter, her gaze swept over them unhurriedly.
Finally, her eyes settled on Shi Kezhen’s face.
Mother Shi asked with a smile.
– “You’re back. Is Yanzhou’s cold fully cured? It hasn’t relapsed, has it?”
Shi Yanzhou didn’t respond to his mother’s words directly, merely giving a casual greeting.
– “Mom.”
He dropped a “I’m going upstairs” before striding toward the staircase.
Shi Kezhen stood in the living room, her head slightly lowered.
– “Mother, Yanzhou’s cold is fully cured; it hasn’t recurred.”
Mother Shi nodded, her smile remaining.
– “Go to your room and change your clothes before coming down for dinner.”
– “Yes, Mother.”
Shi Kezhen nodded obediently and turned to go upstairs. Her steps were light and steady, each one landing precisely in the center of the steps at a moderate pace.
Just as she reached the corner of the second floor, she saw that Shi Yanzhou’s bedroom door was already closed.
