My Roommate Is a Dirty Talker (GL) - Chapter 14

The soft glow of Shen Weixiao’s phone illuminated Shi Xuan’s face, casting her shadowed profile into sharp relief. Her curved eyelashes drooped low, trembling slightly even in sleep, like a frail white mouse perpetually on alert, ready to flee at any moment.

Shen Weixiao suddenly felt an unfamiliar protective urge. This face, as if it had appeared before, kept flashing through her mind. Shi Xuan’s sudden turn broke her reverie. Her eyelids grew heavy, and Shen Weixiao switched off her phone, placed it on the table, pulled the blanket back over herself, and settled back into sleep.

Turning her back to face the distant window, which glowed with a faint warmth, Shen Weixiao felt a pang of fear for the first time—the fear of losing everything she now possessed.

The morning alarm hadn’t even rung when Shen Weixiao silenced it. When Shi Xuan slowly opened her eyes, Shen Weixiao was changing out of her pajamas. Perhaps thinking Shi Xuan was still asleep, she casually sat on the edge of the bed, stripped down to her underwear, and left the room. Shi Xuan touched her slightly flushed face and instinctively turned away, closing her eyes again.

Yet her mind replayed the scene of Shen Weixiao changing, the reflection in the dressing mirror burned into her memory from her hair to her neck, from her collarbone to her back, every detail remained vividly clear.

Shi Xuan turned away, troubled, and couldn’t help but cough softly a few times. She hesitated, wondering if she should reveal her true identity to Shen Weixiao. With a silent sigh, she dismissed the thought. Perhaps Shen Weixiao had always seen Lao Xue as just a 2D friend, never seriously considering a real-life relationship. If she suddenly appeared in her reality, it would undoubtedly frighten the little one.

After brushing her teeth, Shen Weixiao returned to the room and heard Shi Xuan sigh faintly. She immediately bent down to ask, You’re awake? Are you feeling better today? Her gentle tone was a far cry from her usual boisterous self. Shi Xuan gazed at Shen Weixiao’s open collar with a smile, reaching out to playfully tug at it. What’s this? Can’t resist tempting this sovereign so early in the morning? she teased.

Shi Xuan’s teasing hand paused at her own neck for a few seconds, sending Shen Weixiao’s heart racing. More convinced than ever, she excitedly declared to the beauty on the bed, I knew you were hiding in my Little Angels! Tell me, which one are you? Or I won’t let you off the hook! She lunged forward, claws outstretched.

Shi Xuan dodged with a flip, repeatedly begging for mercy while still reciting lines from Shen Weixiao’s fanfiction This young lady is truly wanton. This humble one has wasted years studying the Beauty Manual.

Even though Shen Weixiao couldn’t help but smile, she refused to let Shi Xuan off the hook. She cornered her against the wall, pinching the goddess’s delicate cheek with satisfaction and growling, Just wait until we get home. I’ll teach you a proper lesson!

Shi Xuan’s phone alarm blared repeatedly. Glancing at the time, Shen Weixiao hastily released Shi Xuan’s hand and scrambled to put on her shoes. Shi Xuan watched her flustered movements with amusement, sticking out her foot and laughing, Go get ’em, my dear Gong Lord! Don’t be late!

This sickly goddess seems unusually lively today, Shen Weixiao thought, huffing indignantly as she wrapped her scarf around her neck. She vowed to expose Shi Xuan in the comments section.

Despite spending the entire afternoon fishing for clues, Shen Weixiao found no trace of Shi Xuan among her Little Angels. However, Lao Xue seemed more active than usual, gifting her new chapter with another thunderclap and writing a lengthy review.

Wife, you seem awfully bored in N City, Shen Weixiao sent in a voice message, her tone leisurely. Look, I had to collect your award for you while you’re away. Don’t you think you owe me some compensation?

Her colleagues chuckled, teasing her about how all the eligible men in the office had been stolen by Shen Weixiao.

Wuli Lao Xue How about I just give myself to you?

Shen Weixiao hesitated. Didn’t you say we should just keep our relationship in the 2D world? Look how well-behaved I am! smiles

Wuli Lao Xue Rejecting me so quickly? cries Hubby must have a new favorite. Tell me, who’s been seducing you! I won’t stand for it!

Shen Weixiao sent a hehehe emoji, finally calming Lao Xue down. After some casual banter, Lao Xue suddenly asked, Hubby, where did you get your profile picture? It’s so pretty!

It’s the one my roommate made, the one I told you about last time! Shen Weixiao took a sip of water, feeling inexplicably happy thinking about Shi Xuan. She’s so talented and skilled! Oh, and she’s a tech whiz too! Most importantly, she’s my Little Angel I’ve decided to spoil her rotten.

Wuli Lao Xue Once I’m done promoting this micro-film, I’m coming to find you. Otherwise, someone else will snatch you up first, and I won’t be happy.

Thinking Lao Xue was just joking, Shen Weixiao replied casually, Sure, come on over! You and my roommate can have a showdown. Whoever wins gets me!

The other party remained silent for a long time. While Shen Weixiao was busy with other work, she suddenly heard them ask, Are you serious?

The hesitation caught Shen Weixiao off guard. After a moment of stunned silence, she cautiously replied, Wife, have I accidentally turned you gay?

Lao Xue responded, I’ve always liked girls.

The weight of the world’s ridicule instantly crashed down on Shen Weixiao. In a daze, she involuntarily gasped. Li Jiaru’s head swiveled from the computer screen, and she asked, Chunxiao, what’s wrong?

N-nothing, Shen Weixiao stammered, steadying the cup she had nearly knocked over. She frantically tried to cover up her lapse in composure. I was just organizing files and suddenly remembered I hadn’t submitted the proposal to Sister Min yet. I thought I was late and it scared me.

Li Jiaru chuckled. You scared me more! Hurry up and finish it! Good luck!

Shen Weixiao nodded, glancing at the minimized chat window in her computer’s taskbar. A strange sense of panic washed over her. Only after a long while, when the notification light finally lit up, did she muster the courage to open it. The message read But I already have someone I like. We’re living together now.

God knows why Shen Weixiao suddenly felt relieved. She quickly replied, I told you two bottoms had no future! ´w｀

Wuli Lao Xue Finally admitting you’re a bottom, huh? patting head Hurry up and call me Hubby to hear it, or your chrysanthemum won’t be safe!

Shen Weixiao grinned mischievously and rambled on, finally steering clear of the awkward topic. But her curiosity burned fiercely. As soon as she finished her work, she casually began scrolling through Lao Xue’s Weibo and WeChat statuses. It had to be said, women’s ability to dig up secrets was truly unmatched. Sure enough, Shen Weixiao soon uncovered a clue.

On July 16, 2013, Shen Weixiao had relentlessly pursued and won her first interaction with Lao Xue on Bilibili, a unique and exclusive exchange. The very next day, Lao Xue posted a seemingly heartbroken message on Weibo, as if begging someone to return.

This must be about that girl, Shen Weixiao mused to herself, feeling like she’d stumbled upon something monumental. Perhaps because of her close bond with Lao Xue, she felt no aversion whatsoever to the truth about Lao Xue being a lesbian.

Just surprise.
