Come Sit At My House - Chapter 18
Chapter 18
The sounds from outside were like a pig being slaughtered. Luo Qingmeng, this poisonous woman, was very happy to hear it. She secretly peeked through the crack again. Li An was just rolling around on the floor. The men and women were all woken up, and the lights were turned on one by one. The women screamed when they saw where he was holding himself and yelled at Li An, asking what he was doing.
Luo Qingmeng turned around after watching, and she was startled. Qiu Shuxue was already awake, her eyes narrowed as she looked at her. She was still sleepy, sitting cross-legged with one hand propping up her cheek. She looked at Luo Qingmeng by the door and said sleepily, “Did you cause this mess?”
Luo Qingmeng didn’t like this tone. What did she mean? It was as if she were the older sister.
Qiu Shuxue sighed and got off the bed to look for her clothes. She was naked. She looked around for a while and saw her own nightgown on Luo Qingmeng. She turned on the room light. The light was so bright that it hurt Luo Qingmeng’s eyes. She raised her hand to block the light, covered her eyes, and slowly went to sit on the bed. Qiu Shuxue searched and searched and shook out Luo Qingmeng’s clothes and underwear from under the sheets.
Qiu Shuxue put on Luo Qingmeng’s sexy nightgown. She looked down at her chest and said, “This isn’t very good. There are three male colleagues outside.”
Luo Qingmeng always thought Qiu Shuxue was a shameless little slut. She was charming and flirtatious and could take off her clothes anywhere to seduce people with her charm and desire.
Sometimes, Luo Qingmeng was also aroused by her, and she hated it.
The screams from outside came in waves. The bathroom was on their side, and there was only one. Li An was in so much pain that he wanted to take off his pants, but the female colleagues had all been woken up and were watching him. As for the male colleagues, they were a little hesitant to help when they saw the cursed note.
Yin Sisi saw the note that had been thrown on the floor and said, “Who put this here? Everyone’s together. No one should be this cruel to you. Hurry up and go wash up. Go to the bathroom and take care of it. Shuxue, where’s Shuxue?”
Luo Qingmeng was annoyed when she heard that voice. She looked at Qiu Shuxue and said sarcastically, “Hurry up. Your friend is so worried about Li An. Why are you looking for your phone? Hurry up and go out.”
Qiu Shuxue took her phone out from under the desk. The reason it was there was that they had done it there too. Qiu Shuxue had held her and put her on the desk, using the light from the motion-sensor light underneath to find the “entrance.”
The desk was hard and not very comfortable, but it was easy to do.
Luo Qingmeng scoffed again, urging Qiu Shuxue. This group of people was usually so arrogant and looked down on everyone, but now they were so pathetic.
Qiu Shuxue said, “I have to delete the surveillance footage. Do you want him to find out it was you?”
“What if he does?” Luo Qingmeng felt that she was justified. It was Li An who was in the wrong. Even if they went outside and had a shouting match, who knew who would win?
But for now, she really didn’t want to argue with Li An. She wanted him to suspect it was her but be unable to do anything about it. Then he would also suspect his colleagues, so they would talk about him and make him famous. She wanted to torture this scumbag to death.
Qiu Shuxue was fiddling with her phone. Luo Qingmeng asked curiously, “You can access the doorbell camera on your phone?”
“Yeah,” Qiu Shuxue said. “I can control it.”
Luo Qingmeng said, “Oh.” It was good that she deleted it. After all, her action of pressing the doorbell was a little ungraceful.
Soon, another female colleague came and knocked on the door. The female colleague said, “Shuxue, are you there? Something happened. Come out and take a look.”
Qiu Shuxue hummed. “I’m getting dressed. Just a moment.”
After Qiu Shuxue finished, she threw her phone on the bed and glanced at Luo Qingmeng. Luo Qingmeng said, “Don’t close the door all the way. I want to see.”
“What if they come in…”
“You figure it out.”
Qiu Shuxue said, “Okay.”
Qiu Shuxue went out of the room. It was a mess outside. Someone had just poured a cup of water on Li An’s crotch. The floor was wet, and there was a puddle of red oil, which looked really unseemly.
Luo Qingmeng was a real piece of work. When she ran back, she had locked the bathroom door, so Li An couldn’t get in at all. The group of people was getting him water cup by cup from the restroom.
Qiu Shuxue frowned and asked, “What happened?”
“I don’t know.” Yin Sisi narrowed her eyes and looked at her. “It seems like someone did it on purpose. Someone even wrote him a note.”
Qiu Shuxue went over to look and saw the handwriting on it. Luo Qingmeng’s handwriting was very beautiful, elegant and strong. No one knew Luo Qingmeng’s handwriting, but she and Li An did.
Qiu Shuxue asked Li An, “Do you know who wrote it?”
Li An was in so much pain that he was panting. Sweat was pouring down his face. He was holding his crotch. The raised area was very unseemly, but no one cared about that anymore. They were thinking about how spicy it was and if he would be ruined because of it. Li An almost hated Luo Qingmeng to death, but he couldn’t just say it was her. He shook his head. “I don’t know… I have no idea. I really… ah…”
It was both spicy and painful. He just wanted to rub it.
A few female colleagues scolded him, “Li An, Li An! Bear with it! Everyone’s here!”
“Should we call the police?”
“Check the surveillance?”
Everyone was talking at once. Only now did they remember to turn on the entryway light. They were busy for a long time but couldn’t figure anything out.
It was Qiu Shuxue who got to the point. “Li An, aren’t you going to the hospital?”
If he went, it would be his “second conviction.” Li An was hunched over. He said, “I’ll be fine once I wash it. The bathroom… can I use the bathroom?”
Qiu Shuxue’s face looked very bad, as if she were blaming them. “Did someone do something bad in my house…?”
“No!” Li An knew in his heart that it was probably his ex-wife who did it, but he didn’t understand how Luo Qingmeng found her way here or where she was now. He held back from mentioning Luo Qingmeng.
“Shuxue, the bathroom…”
Luo Qingmeng was also very curious. Li An wasn’t even cursing her now. She peeked through the crack, her eyes glued to the scene, the corners of her lips turning up. Seeing Li An’s pale face, looking like he was about to die, she cursed him in her heart, “Serves you right, serves you right!”
Qiu Shuxue walked over from the living room. Luo Qingmeng quickly backed away. She accidentally turned on the motion-sensor light in the room. Suddenly, she felt a gaze. That sharp Yin Sisi immediately looked over. Luo Qingmeng’s breath hitched, and she reached out to close the door.
This was so incriminating!
Qiu Shuxue went to the bathroom door. She held the doorknob, but she couldn’t open it. She said, “It was fine when I went to sleep. Did someone go in there? Why can’t I open it now?”
Li An couldn’t straighten his back. His knees were bent. “Is there any water? Can you get me a bucket of water, please?”
He was about to kneel down. He didn’t care about his pride anymore.
“The bucket is in the bathroom.”
“Just use a trash can to get water.” A female colleague went to get a trash can, and she saw the note again. She pushed it to another male colleague. “I’m not comfortable with this.”
The male colleague told Li An to go get it himself. He said, “You need to hire a cleaning service for Shuxue’s place. This is a mess. How did it become like this? Everyone was sleeping soundly. You really, really don’t know who it was? Your ex-wife? Could it be…”
“No way. How would his ex-wife find her way here?”
The group of people was in a chaotic mess, and they made Qiu Shuxue’s place very messy. A few of them helped clean up. Qiu Shuxue stood at Luo Qingmeng’s door with her arms crossed. Xiao Ninghe, who was close to her, came over and patted her shoulder. “Don’t be mad. It’s your birthday. Let’s just have the guys leave later.”
Qiu Shuxue hummed in displeasure. She looked at the men with disdain. The men were inexplicably lumped in with Li An. Thinking about this matter spreading at the company later, they felt even more miserable. They all glared at Li An.
Xiao Ninghe guessed, “This whole thing feels weird. Who could it be?” She looked back and forth. Everyone was surprised. She looked for a long time but couldn’t figure out who the “werewolf” was.
Qiu Shuxue didn’t reply to her. Yin Sisi also came over. She asked, “Shuxue, were you sleeping this whole time?”
Qiu Shuxue nodded. Yin Sisi sighed. “Then it must be…” She also patted Qiu Shuxue’s shoulder and looked at the nightgown she was wearing.
It didn’t look like a brand Qiu Shuxue would wear.
The spiciness was too much. Li An washed it off, but it didn’t seem to go away. At the urging of a few female colleagues, the male colleagues got Li An out.
It was 3 a.m., and it was still pitch black outside. A few men left, and a few women started chatting without restraint.
“Serves him right. Li An is so disgusting. He was talking bad about his ex-wife all night. The only bad thing about that woman was that she was a love-struck fool who fell for Li An.”
“You can’t say that woman was a love-struck fool. If she was, would she have woken up so quickly and gotten a divorce? She probably found out something. I think that woman’s only mistake was divorcing him too early. She didn’t squeeze every last drop out of Li An.”
“A 32-year-old man. Damn it. This guy was a little better when he was with that woman because he was a bit cleaner. Now, he always has this old man smell. And today, he acted like such an idiot, pretending to be generous. He brags about every little thing he buys.”
“What did Lao Lu say before? He pretends to be generous in front of girls, but what does he do in front of Shunzi and Xiao Liu? Shunzi said that he took a piece of tofu at the company restaurant, and Li An held it against him, saying, ‘You ate it today, so you have to give it back to me tomorrow.’ He watches his bowl every day.”
“Shuxue, don’t be mad. Bad things happen for a reason. We’ll make sure he pays for a cleaning service for you. Speaking of which, is Li An trying to hit on a few of the new interns? That 30-year-old dog is trying to get with girls in their early twenties. It’s so disgusting. Ugh—”
“So who was the hero who taught that old man a lesson? Hahahahaha.”
“Do we have any Sprite? I want a sip.”
Luo Qingmeng listened carefully. She was stunned and surprised. She thought these girls looked down on her, but now she found out that everyone was more disgusted by Li An. They seemed to be more disappointed in her than anything else. She felt a sense of balance in her heart.
If they looked down on her, so be it. She was pretty stupid before, with a hole in her head, thinking Li An was her final destination.
She then heard Qiu Shuxue open the refrigerator. Qiu Shuxue said, “That Sister Luo is pretty good. She got married and divorced. At first, Li An was just too good at pretending. She’s very clear-headed. She can cook and take care of the house. She’s pretty and has a gentle personality. We just don’t know her very well.”
“That’s true. Her cooking is delicious. But Shuxue, do you know her? It seems like you’re very familiar with her every time.”
Qiu Shuxue said, “I don’t know if we’re familiar. I’ve seen her a few times when she came to buy books.”
As she spoke, the people outside recalled the scene again and laughed. It was late, and they were all tired. After they finished laughing, they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
Qiu Shuxue also went back to her room. Luo Qingmeng was already lying in bed, pretending to be asleep. Qiu Shuxue got into bed and wrapped her arms around her waist. Her breath fell on Luo Qingmeng’s neck. Luo Qingmeng’s heart was racing. She was very surprised that Qiu Shuxue didn’t say anything at all.
They slept until 10:30 the next morning. Qiu Shuxue’s fingers moved across Luo Qingmeng’s body. She woke Luo Qingmeng up in another way, lying on her lower back. Luo Qingmeng pretended to be asleep, but her toes were all tensed up. She pursed her lips tightly.
The female colleagues outside called Qiu Shuxue many times before Qiu Shuxue finally got up to see them out. Luo Qingmeng opened her eyes, and the tension in her toes relaxed. She was so close to not being able to hold on.
She let out a sigh of relief.
Qiu Shuxue had specially gargled. It was so cold.
Luo Qingmeng also prepared to leave. Qiu Shuxue’s apartment was a mess. She didn’t want to stay and help Qiu Shuxue clean up the mess.
But Qiu Shuxue hadn’t returned her clothes. Luo Qingmeng brushed her teeth in the morning, unlocked the bathroom door, and walked straight to the entryway.
Luo Qingmeng organized her thoughts and said, “What happened yesterday, all I can say is Li An deserved it, but I won’t apologize.”
Qiu Shuxue leaned her back against the door. She hummed and said nonchalantly, “As long as you’re happy.”
Luo Qingmeng wanted to leave, but Qiu Shuxue wouldn’t let her. She kept blocking her way, her hand on the doorknob.
“What are you doing now?”
Qiu Shuxue narrowed her eyes as she looked at her. Luo Qingmeng was on vacation and not in a hurry to go to work, so she was going to keep her in this room and play with her for two days.
