When many things happen, they may seem a bit troublesome, but upon careful consideration, it seems that there won’t be any real impact.
So what if Chu Ge is dating his assistant and fangirl?
He’s a single man, and she’s an unmarried woman. It’s perfectly natural. Besides envy and jealousy, all others can do is reluctantly offer their blessings, which eventually become topics of casual conversation: “I heard that a certain guru married a fangirl and even dated an editor. Impressive.”
It’s just like that at class reunions. When someone brings it up, everyone smiles and passes over it, not knowing who it refers to. The real impact is only in one’s own heart.
So Chu Ge faced it head-on.
He remained calm, but Qiu Wuji started to panic. She looked at Chu Ge with a perplexed expression, opened her mouth, and didn’t know how to respond.
When people around them misunderstood their relationship, they could laugh it off and claim to be pure and innocent. But what about when everyone believes it?
Has a cultivator who has reached the Crossing Tribulation stage seen through the illusions? And even in one’s own heart, does it still feel pure and innocent?
She was stunned for a while, and unexpectedly replied, “W-Who is your Qiu Wuji! Stop adding drama to yourself!”
Chu Ge didn’t respond.
Qiu Wuji stuttered, “Y-Your actions were too suspicious. Saying she’s your sister only makes it more suspicious. Just say she’s an assistant, what’s wrong with that? What’s wrong?”
As she continued, her confidence grew: “A little assistant wouldn’t dare openly humiliate her boss, so she can only endure it, right? Even Meng Meng knows that my boss has harassed me at work!”
Chu Ge: “?”
“Who cares what others say!” Qiu Wuji exclaimed loudly. “I, Qiu Wuji, am pure and innocent, with a clear conscience!”
With a “hmph,” she clenched her little fist, huffed, and walked out with determination to have her hot meal.
Chu Ge watched her back, her fist clenched, her arm slightly raised, and she had the expression of a cute (๑`^´๑) face, so cute he wanted to cry.
But in his heart, he couldn’t help but laugh. Qiu Qiu is so amusing now.
He smiled and opened the book’s group and replied directly, “That’s the prototype of Qiu Wuji that I wrote. I really like her. I even mentioned it in the interview. Why can’t I pursue her?”
“?”
Chu Ge’s single-mindedness left the group members bewildered. They didn’t know how to respond.
Chu Ge continued, “Didn’t I ask you all to help me out by showing her around, cooperating with my pursuit? But now I haven’t succeeded yet. Can you all lend a hand?”
“Help you show her around?” someone asked, confused.
Chu Ge clarified, “No, I mean help me with ideas. I’m not good at wooing girls.”
“Oh, come on. What do you think we are? You’re not good at wooing girls?!” someone exclaimed.
“Yeah, we’ve seen it all. The sweet moments of wiping each other’s mouths, the affectionate looks. The photo is even titled ‘The Sweetest Love in Early Autumn’ online. And you’re telling us you haven’t succeeded in pursuing her yet?”
Chu Ge: “Well… Nowadays, people are so boring. They even come up with titles like that.”
“So, stop saying you haven’t succeeded yet. When are you holding the wedding banquet? Just tell us.”
Qiu Wuji: “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll mute you!”
“Hello, Mrs. Chu!”
“Hello, Sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law, please urge Chu Ge to update more of the main story today.”
Qiu Wuji: “?”
“I have to admit, Sister-in-law’s voice for Qiu Qiu is quite accurate.”
“With this momentum, Brother Chu’s position at home is in danger.”
It seems like things have passed just like that… The only consequence is that Qiu Qiu has become “Sister-in-law”?
What’s wrong with these people? They don’t listen to explanations and insist on believing what they want!
“Qiu Qiu~ My Qiu Qiu~” the group chat started again.
Chu Ge was speechless, “Why are you all starting again?”
A group member justified, “We are fans of Qiu Qiu from the novel, not related to the cosplayers in the group. You pursue your cosplayer assistant, and we’ll pursue our real Qiu Qiu.”
Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji were dumbfounded.
It seems like there’s no issue.
But the real Qiu Qiu is right here!
The young couple sat numbly at the dining table, eating their meal while holding their phones and reading the chaotic group chat. Occasionally, they would glance at each other with weird expressions.
It’s so strange.
After finishing their meal without any enjoyment, the two of them still stared at each other, and it took a while for Qiu Wuji to say with a stern face, “You don’t have any plans for tonight, do you?”
Chu Ge cautiously replied, “I plan to save a chapter for tomorrow’s update and get back to the regular schedule. Oh, by the way, I have to go to the police station tomorrow to sign some documents and collect the reward money.”
After each of them spoke, it seemed like there was nothing else to say.
Now it’s not just one person shouting “Sister-in-law,” it’s two or three thousand people. And that’s not it. They have already been designated as a couple online, and even titled “The Sweetest Love in Early Autumn.”
Look at the comments:
“So sweet, I need to inject insulin now…”
What’s so sweet about it? Sitting here eating leftover food, is that sweet?
“Sigh, this guy is so gentle. Look at his gaze, it’s like he’s admiring the most beautiful work of art.”
Where’s the gentleness? Is it sitting here like a clueless goose, staring at the phone and laughing foolishly? You must be enjoying this, Chu Ge, ruining my reputation!
Qiu Wuji had long forgotten that she had given permission for someone to post that photo. Through gritted teeth, she said, “Saving the draft can wait. Since we have nothing to do, it seems I should start teaching you the Heavenly Mountain’s Freezing Hand.”
Chu Ge blinked his eyes with some anticipation. Was it the kind of teaching he had imagined? Interlocking arms, guiding how to exert force?
“Where should we do the training?”
Qiu Wuji replied expressionlessly, “Just stand in the middle of the hall. We emphasize small and subtle movements, so we don’t need much space.”
Yes, that’s right. It’s all about small and subtle techniques to get close!
With great anticipation, Chu Ge stood in the middle of the hall, standing at attention, watching Qiu Wuji slowly approach and extend her delicate hand.
“Watch carefully, the first move…” Her jade-like hand rested on Chu Ge’s forearm.
In the next moment, a sharp pain shot through as he let out a cry. His hand had been twisted behind his back, and he was pressed down onto the floor, captured on the spot.
His proud Golden Bell Shield had almost no resistance against this twist and was rendered completely powerless by the pain.
Qiu Wuji’s knee pressed against his lower back as she coldly sneered, “This is the Folding Plum Hand. It eliminates any undesirable thoughts.”
“The character setting didn’t mention that.”
“In the world of martial arts, it’s easy for me to make adjustments, right?”
“I think you just wanted to hit me, didn’t you?”
“No, this is teaching. Close combat requires experiencing such encounters…” Qiu Wuji said seriously, “Do you want to try the second move?”
Chu Ge, lying on the ground, rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, “Sure.”
Qiu Wuji was contemplating how to torment him with the next move when she slightly loosened the pressure of her knee. Suddenly, Chu Ge made a move, arching and flipping himself forcefully.
Qiu Wuji had never expected that Chu Ge, who had always obediently taken beatings and endured torment since they met, would actually resist actively!
A burst of fierce strength erupted, catching Qiu Wuji off guard as she was flipped to the side. Chu Ge followed her like a shadow, pressing down her hands and legs. Today, he would show her what it meant to be the husband!
Qiu Wuji’s hands were pressed down on both sides, and she looked at the hovering Chu Ge in astonishment. Her appearance truly resembled the description of Chief Lin, with disheveled hair and a defiant gaze… Well, a startled gaze.
She never expected that Chu Ge would dare!
Of course, Chu Ge wasn’t being disrespectful. He was just asserting his husband’s authority. He had initially wanted to say, “Do you dare to hit me casually anymore?”
However, looking at this scene straight out of a short story, feeling the softness and fragrance beneath him, he couldn’t utter a single word. He stared at her face, his heart pounding.
His mouth felt dry. There was a voice in his mind shouting, “Kiss her, kiss her! Chu Ge, are you even a man? The whole world says she’s your girlfriend, yet you’re still hesitating!”
He cleared his throat twice and slowly, slowly, inched his head downward, millimeter by millimeter.
Qiu Wuji rolled her eyes.
In the next moment, everything spun around, and Chu Ge felt himself flying up. Without understanding what had just happened, he found himself once again pinned to the ground with Qiu Wuji’s hands crossed over his.
From behind him came Qiu Wuji’s instruction, “This is the second move.”
Chu Ge lay on the ground feeling utterly defeated.
The future of their marital relationship seemed bleak…
Little did he know that Qiu Wuji, who was holding him down, also had a slightly flushed face, and even her treasured mounds seemed to undulate gently.
In the past, when she taught him body techniques and the Golden Bell Shield, there had never been such explicit physical entanglement in their training.
Especially because he dared to resist today… Was it because of the public acknowledgment? Did it make him more audacious?
Qiu Wuji couldn’t help but recall the moment when her hands were held down, the overwhelming pressure of being trapped under a mountain…
If one day his cultivation could truly hold her captive, rendering her unable to break free… What would happen in that moment?
So, in helping me break free from the Heavenly Dao, was he challenging himself? And in reality, was I also teaching him how to challenge me, how to conquer myself?
