Ha, Karma! – Chapter 53
by Little PandaWhat is Chu Zhaoqiu doing?!
Fu Lianxue was busy for another day before returning home.
First, she took a comfortable bath, and then went into the study.
Inside the study, the Blue Star Flower placed on the table was quietly emitting a faint blue light.
Chu Zhaoqiu had also come by at noon to help her take care of the Blue Star Flower and Baobao—and had even stuck a sticky note on the wall.
—Call me next time.
Following the words “call me” was a simple drawing of a telephone receiver.
The signature was the three characters of Chu Zhaoqiu.
Fu Lianxue held the sticky note, a smile she couldn’t help spreading across her lips. She casually stuck it back on the wall and didn’t throw it away.
Then, she turned away nonchalantly, thinking to herself: Hmph, I won’t call.
After a while, she ran back with another sticky note and stuck it next to Chu Zhaoqiu’s, as her response.
Baobao stood in the corner, stretching out its paws and curiously scratching at the air.
It wanted to touch the things its mom had stuck up.
Fu Lianxue smiled, picked it up, and buried her face in its belly, rubbing it: “Curious Baobao wants to touch everything.”
Baobao meowed at being rubbed.
Once she was happy from rubbing it, she picked up the little kitty and went to get a cat treat.
While feeding Baobao the cat treat, her thoughts began to wander, and somehow she suddenly thought of Ye Linlin.
During this day, how much effort had Ye Linlin put into pursuing Chu Zhaoqiu?
And how did Chu Zhaoqiu respond?
When Chu Zhaoqiu came to pick up Ye Linlin, who had been flicked on the forehead by her, it was clear that she was very tolerant of this younger sister.
Could it be that problems would arise from being too tolerant?
Thinking of this, Fu Lianxue suddenly snapped back to reality.
No, what am I doing? Why am I thinking about this?
I don’t like her, so why do I care what happens with her and someone else!
Fu Lianxue shook her head, shaking all the miscellaneous thoughts out of her mind, and focused on feeding Baobao.
Baobao was the “person” in her family that she should care about.
“Good baby, Mommy loves you the most.”
The kitty eating the cat treat: “Meow~”
Chu Zhaoqiu saw Fu Lianxue’s reply sticky note.
It had four characters written on it: I just won’t call.
Very stubborn, with her own temper.
Resolutely walking on the path of “going against her,” never looking back.
One could tell it was written by Fu Lianxue.
Chu Zhaoqiu couldn’t help but smile.
She picked up Baobao, who was trying to climb up her pant leg, and went to find a sticky note.
After a while, there was another sticky note on the wall.
After sticking the note, she took Baobao out to play, waiting for Fu Lianxue to see the reply tonight.
Although they had mobile phones, playing like this occasionally was also quite nice.
Fu Lianxue saw the reply.
Chu Zhaoqiu didn’t mention calling again on the sticky note, but instead said she would prepare snacks to treat her, so that next time she came to find her, she could eat while waiting.
Fu Lianxue held Baobao and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Really?
She was already thinking about what snacks to eat.
Suddenly, she wanted to go to Chu Zhaoqiu’s house, to see what snacks Chu Zhaoqiu had prepared for her, and whether she had started preparing.
And also to see the results of Linlin-meimei’s efforts.
She did as she thought, putting Baobao back in its room, then changing into comfortable clothes and going out.
Soon, she was once again back at the familiar window.
She floated in mid-air, not rushing to enter. Her line of sight was just right to see the chair by the window.
Chu Zhaoqiu was sitting in the chair, quietly reading a book.
Her legs were crossed, her posture upright—just like before.
She leaned forward slightly, and in an instant, she landed on the window.
Chu Zhaoqiu sensed the familiar aura and knew who had come.
She calmly put down the book, her fingertips casually raised, and the door locked itself.
She turned her head to look at the window and found Fu Lianxue scanning her room, as if looking for something.
“What are you looking for?”
“Looking for your Lin-meimei.”
Chu Zhaoqiu smiled helplessly, stood up, extended her hand, and said warmly: “Linlin is currently in her room learning magic from Grandma, she doesn’t have time to come find me.”
Fu Lianxue: “Oh.”
She placed her hand in Chu Zhaoqiu’s palm, held her hand, and jumped down from the window.
Then she started a surprise inspection of the snacks.
Her eyes immediately fixed on the small table by the window.
On the table was a bamboo basket filled with her favorite snacks and drinks, a lot, enough for her to eat for a while.
Fu Lianxue was a little surprised.
She never expected that it would be ready so soon. Chu Zhaoqiu’s efficiency was indeed as strong as before.
“Wow, Young Master Chu is so fast.”
Chu Zhaoqiu smiled: “You flatter me.”
“I wonder if our Miss Fu is satisfied?”
Fu Lianxue sat down in the chair, casually pulled out a box of cookies and opened it, handing another bag to Chu Zhaoqiu, saying as she divided them: “It’s alright.”
Chu Zhaoqiu took the cookies she handed over and sat down in another chair: “Your schedule seems to be very busy lately, are you very busy?”
Fu Lianxue took a “crunch” bite of the cookie: “When is work not busy?”
Chu Zhaoqiu suddenly asked: “Why did you choose to be a singer?”
Fu Lianxue’s cookie-biting action paused for a moment, she blinked her eyes, and continued: “There’s no reason, I just wanted to.”
“And the fans’ love is very helpful to me, so why wouldn’t I try?”
“Most importantly, this jiejie has the skills, you know?”
“You don’t remember, but I used to seduce you by singing and dancing in front of you.”
Fu Lianxue talked about the past while eating cookies.
“I learned this from you humans. You mortals really love to watch beautiful women dance, of course, I also like to watch it a little…”
At that time, in order to seduce Chu Zhaoqiu, she used every means. She often lie on the roof to learn dance moves. It could be said that she worked very hard.
Charming, sexy, alluring, she tried her best to learn.
She would also ask other charm demons for advice, so as not to disgrace their charm demons name.
No charm demon is born with these skills, just like a person cannot be born knowing how to walk.
They charm demons just have the advantage of being able to amplify their charm and turn other people’s emotions and desires into their own use—oh, and a flower of eternal life that might be coveted.
Unfortunately, Chu Zhaoqiu at that time was a block of wood.
A block of wood that didn’t understand romance.
No matter how beautifully she danced, no matter how seductively she wrapped herself around her, she was unmoved—truly a block of wood.
“You, at that time, really,” Fu Lianxue clicked her tongue twice, her face full of disdain, “were a tasteless fellow.”
“Every time I danced, you would close your eyes, close them so tightly, as if you were so disgusted by me.”
She really didn’t understand.
Such a peerless beauty like her was in front of her, dancing so well, singing so beautifully, yet she closed her eyes tightly, unmoved, her heart set on the Dao!
She didn’t appreciate it, it was really boring, a waste of her beauty!
Chu Zhaoqiu heard this and gently curved her lips.
“Things might not be as you imagine them to be?”
Fu Lianxue crunched on the cookies: “If it’s not like this, how else could it be? Anyway, you just didn’t watch me dance.”
There was a hint of complaint in her tone.
But she couldn’t say exactly what she was complaining about.
Was it frustration at not being able to seduce Chu Zhaoqiu, or was it a complaint because she worked hard to practice dancing, but Chu Zhaoqiu didn’t even look?
She didn’t understand, she couldn’t figure it out, and she was too lazy to delve into it.
“I was watching.”
Chu Zhaoqiu’s voice fell on her ears.
Hearing this, Fu Lianxue suddenly turned her head to look at her.
What did she mean, did she remember?
She really recovered her memory, when did she recover?!
But she saw Chu Zhaoqiu get up and get a tablet, saying: “Every performance you’ve given, every dance you’ve danced, I’ve watched them all. I think you dance very, very well.”
Then she said gently: “In the future, I will definitely be present to watch every performance of yours, okay?”
Regarding information about her, she had never missed a single one.
No matter what happened in the past, from now on, she only wanted to do her best to be good to her, to be even better to her.
Fu Lianxue: “…”
Why was she asking her!
Fu Lianxue avoided her tender gaze, then stood up, saying nonchalantly: “Whatever, no one’s stopping you—buy your own ticket!”
She finished speaking and left through the window with the cookies, as if she had just come to freeload.
Chu Zhaoqiu took the remaining bag of cookies and walked to the window, gazing in the direction she had left.
After a while, she lowered her head, opened the cookie bag, took out a strawberry cookie, and took a small bite.
She curved her lips.
Quite sweet.
It was another night with a bright moon and sparse stars.
Fu Lianxue went to climb Chu Zhaoqiu’s window again tonight.
Tonight, she also didn’t rush to enter, and also observed for a while outside.
Tonight, there was someone in Young Master Chu’s room.
It was Ye Linlin.
The two of them were gesturing with their hands, and Chu Zhaoqiu was occasionally guiding Ye Linlin, seemingly teaching her magic.
After a while, Ye Linlin seemed to have learned it, and her face immediately lit up with joy.
Then she hugged Chu Zhaoqiu, hugged her tightly.
Fu Lianxue took it all in, her eyes widening instantly.
What was Ye Linlin doing?!
Then, she saw Chu Zhaoqiu raise her hand, and she couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
Very good, the little friend was about to be pushed away, about to witness the cruelty of Zhaoqiu-jie.
Then she saw Chu Zhaoqiu’s hand land on Ye Linlin’s head.
Fu Lianxue: “?”
Chu Zhaoqiu even gently stroked it twice.
Fu Lianxue: “???”
—What is Chu Zhaoqiu doing?!
Fu Lianxue immediately turned around and went home.
After returning home, the scene she had just seen still lingered in her mind, refusing to go away.
She was puzzled and confused, unable to understand.
Why didn’t Chu Zhaoqiu push Ye Linlin away?
Why did Chu Zhaoqiu not only not push her away, but even pat her head with satisfaction?!
Fu Lianxue sat on the sofa, the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Ye Linlin’s bright smile was really an eyesore to her.
She couldn’t understand why she was so stimulated by this scene.
Why?
Why am I angry with Chu Zhaoqiu?
We’re not in a relationship, she can hug whoever she wants, what right do I have to interfere?
Yes, I have no right, and there’s no need to get excited about this.
It’s just a hug, it won’t kill anyone…
Fu Lianxue crossed her legs and closed her eyes to adjust her breathing.
Then, her mind suddenly began to replay her interactions with Chu Zhaoqiu, replaying the scene where Chu Zhaoqiu promised to only like her.
A few seconds later, the sofa cushion took a solid punch—
“Why didn’t that surnamed Chu push her away!!!”
The most injured thing in this relationship has appeared!
The author has something to say:
Whimsical Little Theater:
Cushion: Is no one going to speak up for me?
Baobao jumped onto the sofa, stretched out its paws and patted the cushion, then turned to face the camera: Meow meow meow, meow meow meow—
Cushion: …
Cushion: Is there no one who can speak human language to speak up for me?
