My Roommate Is a Dirty Talker (GL) - Chapter 42
They say the prettier and quieter a girl is, the dirtier she is inside. This was a conclusion Tan Xin had drawn long ago during a casual conversation with Shen Weixiao about Lao Xue’s appearance.
Â
When Shen Weixiao first met Shi Xuan, she only knew that her goddess was stunningly beautiful. She never imagined Shi Xuan’s dirty side would be so… conscientious.
Â
Now, Shen Weixiao lay obediently in Shi Xuan’s arms, her head resting on the goddess’s fragrant arm, her eyes warily following Shi Xuan’s casual scrolling through her phone. People always say girls love to snoop through their boyfriends’ phones. Sis, you’re acting like such a cliché, a soft uke.
Â
Perhaps Shen Weixiao hadn’t considered the serious consequences of provoking her cunning girlfriend. She abruptly sat up, leaning over to watch Shi Xuan tap open Penguin. After passing a verification, she flipped over, puzzled. Hua Kai Tumi has added me so many times, but I’ve always rejected her. Why did you suddenly accept her?
Â
Shi Xuan swatted away Shen Weixiao’s fidgeting hand with a disdainful flick. I just wanted to see who she was. Then, with a playful grin, she added, Is that not allowed?
Come on, My Goddess, who’s been jealous for a thousand years! Just lie down a little so I can see too, Shen Weixiao coaxed, tugging playfully at Shi Xuan’s loose pajama sleeve. She leaned in with a sweet, coquettish expression, just in time to see Shi Xuan send out an emoji that read, I think a beautiful woman wants to sleep with me.
Â
Ah, don’t send that randomly! I don’t even know who she is yet!
Â
Shen Weixiao sat up excitedly, reaching for the phone, but Shi Xuan swiftly flipped her over, pinning her beneath her. Her long, pale legs wrapped tightly around Shen Weixiao’s, and she tilted her chin proudly, raising a finger to her lips in a commanding Shh. I’m investigating a case right now. Don’t disturb me.
Â
What kind of investigation is this? Shen Weixiao pouted, her face skeptical. Helpless under Shi Xuan’s weight, she could only obediently watch Shi Xuan’s calm expression, trying to figure out what she was really up to. After a while, she shifted her upper body. Sis, I’m a little uncomfortable. Can we change positions?
Â
Shi Xuan loosened her grip, her eyes glued to the phone screen, fingers flying across the keyboard as she casually remarked, What, you want to be on top?
Â
Shen Weixiao’s eyes lit up, and she tugged vigorously at her hands, which Shi Xuan still held pinned. Can I?
Mm, of course you can, Shi Xuan said, flipping onto her back and lying flat, her clothes seemingly inviting Shen Weixiao to take her.
Â
Wow, My Goddess is being so proactive today! How touching! Shen Weixiao eagerly straddled her, leaning down to nuzzle Shi Xuan’s chin, feeling a thrill course through her. What are you two talking about? I want to see too! She craned her neck, pressing her chin forward until it was directly over Shi Xuan’s lips, so close she could feel the warmth of her breath on her mouth.
Â
Shi Xuan didn’t flinch, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Â
I told you, I’m working on a case. Behave yourself.
Â
Shen Weixiao rolled her eyes in frustration. Seeing Shi Xuan chatting so happily with her friend, she suddenly grew mischievous. Glancing at Shi Xuan’s flat chest as she lay back, she slyly asked, Sister, has anyone ever helped you undress before?
Â
No. I’m always the one undressing others, Shi Xuan replied, her voice cool and composed.
Â
Then shall I break your record today? Shen Weixiao’s nervous hands crept toward Shi Xuan’s collar, but before she could move, a chilling voice came from beneath her Little sister, have you ever heard the saying, ‘Don’t provoke the wrath of the gods’? Before Shen Weixiao could process the warning, she felt a sudden shift beneath her. Shi Xuan swiftly reversed their positions, tossing her phone aside with a fierce motion and pinning Shen Weixiao down with her arms on either side, leaving her frozen in place.
That… that… I was just joking, Shen Weixiao admitted defeat, realizing that submissives truly had no agency. She vowed never to try that again.
Â
Then who were you calling a ‘soft uke’ earlier? Shi Xuan frowned, her eyes tilting upward slightly as she muttered with a hint of disdain, Ugh, what’s a ‘soft uke’? Never heard of it. But… Sis, do you know what ‘unattainable’ means?
Â
From Shen Weixiao’s perspective, Shi Xuan’s lowered lashes cast her gaze into an unusually hazy, dreamlike state, the corners of her eyes flushed and softened by drowsiness.
Â
Ahem. Shen Weixiao forced herself to remain calm, squirming slightly. Her mind was a chaotic mess, devoid of logic, as she desperately tried to change the subject. Oh! That reminds me! Didn’t you say your workplace was having a dance party? Why don’t I practice with you for a bit?
Â
Oh. Shi Xuan blinked, as if considering the offer seriously. It’s tomorrow, but I already took the day off to come home. No need to practice.
Â
Shen Weixiao squeezed her eyes shut, utterly at a loss for how to respond. When she opened them again, she saw Shi Xuan suddenly get up, lock the door, and climb back into bed—all in a single, swift motion.
No! Shen Weixiao screamed inwardly, flipping over to get up, only to be ruthlessly pulled back down by Shi Xuan. But if you really want to dance, you can, Shi Xuan added.
Â
Shen Weixiao didn’t quite understand Shi Xuan’s meaning. Everything went dark, a heavy weight pressed down on her, and a sudden wetness brushed her ear. I’ll teach you how to dance in bed.
Â
… A thousand words omitted here
Â
As expected, Shen Weixiao, having reaped what she sowed, was now possessed by the lazy god. She and her queen missed the first rays of dawn.
Â
Shen Weixiao followed Shi Xuan around like a puppy, helping her pack. Her mood was both ecstatic and utterly miserable.
Â
So you’re skipping work today just to help me pack? Shi Xuan glared at Shen Weixiao, her eyes brimming with barely contained affection, her complexion glowing. How much do you hate me to be so eager for me to go home?
Â
Shen Weixiao grinned as she packed Shi Xuan’s laptop. The office has been practically deserted these past few days, so taking a day off won’t matter. I’ll help you pack, see you off, and watch you drive away. Then I can stay home alone and write drafts in peace. It’ll be nice.
Ah, yes, the bed at home is so big. She can sleep however she wants without worrying about disturbing anyone with her restless sleep or having the blanket stolen. How wonderful! She definitely won’t miss anyone, especially not My Goddess.
Â
Shen Weixiao snapped out of her reverie and, feeling foolish, patted her cheeks. Ugh, what’s wrong with me? She’s still here, and I’m already missing her! I’m not usually this lovesick, always being so submissive and constantly getting bent over backwards. It’s so embarrassing!
Â
Remember to call me when you get home, Shen Weixiao said, fussing over packing. I might still be asleep in the morning, and I’ll be busy around noon, so around 7 or 8 PM would be best. Check WeChat daily—my Penguin account is always online, and I’ll reply immediately to any messages. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out. When I come back after the New Year, I’ll bring you some of G City’s best treats.
Â
After packing a large suitcase, Shen Weixiao noticed that Shi Xuan’s luggage consisted mainly of her laptop and a few essential clothes and personal items. Looking around the wardrobe and bed, she realized there was practically nothing else to pack. It struck her then how truly simple My Goddess’s life was—aside from her laptop, she was practically without worldly possessions.
Later, when she and My Goddess had their own home, she would buy My Goddess lots of soft, cute little things to decorate it with, making it incredibly cozy. She’d also get a few big turtles to keep in a tank, so they could all grow old together. Shen Weixiao chuckled to herself, then continued daydreaming with a silly grin.
Â
Sister Xuan, your place is so close, Shen Weixiao said, fidgeting in place as she watched Shi Xuan’s eyes flicker. She twisted her fingers, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly lowered her head. I booked my ticket late, so I don’t go home for another four or five days. If you have time… if you have time… you could actually go home and visit too…
Â
Shi Xuan had been quietly observing Shen Weixiao’s expressions from the start. If Shen Weixiao hadn’t lowered her head, she would have seen My Goddess suppressing a smile, her eyes curving warmly as she looked at her. Hmm? If you’re worried about the place being unsafe while you’re gone, I’ll check in occasionally after you leave, if Xinran and the others aren’t here. Don’t worry.
Â
Aww, that’s not what I meant at all! Shen Weixiao nearly exploded with frustration, glaring at Shi Xuan like she was CJ7.
Shi Xuan noticed Shen Weixiao’s serious expression and chuckled. Alright, alright, I’ll miss our little sister too. That’s why I’ll come back as soon as I can. Be good. She patted Shen Weixiao’s fluffy bangs, eliciting a defiant grumble from the younger girl.
Â
Even as Shi Xuan left, Shen Weixiao remained reluctant to let her go. At the gate, they encountered Mu Xinran, who was just coming upstairs.
Â
Mu Xinran had been working an internship in B City and had only recently gotten time off. Since she wasn’t planning to go home for the holidays, she had taken on a part-time job and would be staying at the apartment. Seeing Shi Xuan walking downstairs with a suitcase, she politely stepped aside, wished her a safe trip, and entered the apartment.
Â
Shen Weixiao walked Shi Xuan to the neighborhood gate, watching her leave before returning home with a hint of melancholy.
Â
Mu Xinran was washing fruit in the kitchen. Hearing the door open, she guessed Shen Weixiao had returned. She turned off the faucet, smiled, and carried the fruit platter into the living room. Is Shi Xuan gone already? Weixiao, I thought your work holiday started in a few days. Why are you home today?
Â
Shen Weixiao smiled but didn’t answer. Instead, she asked, Why aren’t you going home for the New Year?
Â
Mu Xinran turned her head in surprise, offering a casual reply It’s only a two- or three-day trip. I can go home after the holidays, around the eleventh.
Shen Weixiao nodded silently. Upon receiving a text from Shi Xuan, she immediately perked up and eagerly rushed inside. Mu Xinran called out to Shen Weixiao to have some fruit, and out of politeness, Shen Weixiao grabbed an apple before ducking into the house.
