Chapter 72: Pt.2
The people waiting downstairs had long since grown impatient. After muttering a complaint, Xu Xiangxiang pulled out her phone to give her elder sister a call.
"She's here, she's here," Mother Xu said, stopping Xu Xiangxiang's actions.
Xu Xiangxiang craned her neck and looked at the entrance. Then, she said in disappointment, "Mom, your eyes are terrible. Since when is my sister so tall? Also, that person's hair is so long. What the heck is taking Sis so long? Forget it; I'll give her a call."
"Xiangxiang"
Xu Xiangxiang paused her actions once more when she heard someone calling her. Then, after using her hand to shade her eyes from the glaring sun, she was finally able to get a better look at the approaching figure. Immediately, she called out in joy, "Big Sis Shishi!"
Murong Shi strode toward Xu Xiangxiang and Mother Xu with large steps. Then, she smiled and asked, "Auntie, do you still remember me?"
"You're so beautiful, so of course I can remember you, Little Shi," Mother Xu said with a smile.
"I'm here to pick you two up."
Puzzled, Xu Xiangxiang asked, "Where's my sister? Why are you here to receive us instead, Big Sis Shishi? Have you started living in the dorms as well?"
"Mhm. I had to work overtime yesterday, so I decided to stay at the dorms for the night. Your sister is still showering."
Xu Xiangxiang did not doubt Murong Shi's words.
Meanwhile, with Murong Shi's arrival, the security guards allowed Xu Xiangxiang and Mother Xu to enter the company building without even registering them. Then, the three women started making their way upstairs.
On the way up, Xu Xiangxiang curiously asked, "Big Sis Shishi, how did you know that my mother and I were coming? Did you sleep together with my sister last night?"
Smiling, Murong Shi naturally said, "I didn't have a choice. I was too tired to drive home after finishing work, so I had to borrow her bed for the night."
"She must have a terrible sleeping habit, right?"
"It's okay."
Amidst their conversation, the trio arrived at the dormitory's front door, and Murong Shi knocked on the door symbolically. After knocking for some time and receiving no response, Murong Shi took out a key.
When the door opened, Xu Chuanchuan's figure was nowhere to be seen. So, Xu Xiangxiang shouted, "Sis, Mom is here to see you! She even brought something good for you!"
Xu Chuanchuan came running out of the bathroom in a pair of slippers. "Mom, why are you here?"
"Your Aunt Yao sent me some honey a few days ago, so I brought some over for you and Xiangxiang," Mother Xu said before opening her handbag and pulling out two jars of honey. Then, she offered one to Murong Shi and said, "Little Shi, since you're here, take a bottle as well. My little sister's family produced this honey. I guarantee its purity."
Surprised, Murong Shi accepted the jar and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"No need for thanks. You loaned so much money to Chuanchuan. We should be the ones thanking you instead."
"That In that case, I'll gladly accept it." The honey was quite heavy, so Murong Shi placed it on the coffee table and said, "I'll take it when I'm leaving. Auntie, have a seat."
Handing a box of tissues to her sweaty mother, Xu Chuanchuan asked, "Why didn't you give me a call before coming here?"
Fortunately, they had bought disposable paper cups previously, so Murong Shi went to fetch some water while Xu Chuanchuan was talking to her mother. After returning with the paper cups and a jug of water, Murong Shi first served a cup to Mother Xu, "Auntie, have some water."
"Thank you." Mother Xu didn't hurry to drink the water. Instead, she continued, "I only noticed my phone was out of money after leaving the house."
Meanwhile, Xu Xiangxiang and Murong Shi were fighting over the paper cups, with Xu Xiangxiang saying, "Let me do it. How can I trouble you to pour me water?"
Chuckling, Murong Shi said, "Alright, you do it yourself."
"I never knew where you were working at, so since I already made a trip here, I decided to come to take a look," Mother Xu said. Then, she took a look at the apartment and asked, "Is this your company's dormitory? It looks so much better than I imagined. The other benefits the company offers must be great as well, right?"
"Uh, not bad," Xu Chuanchuan said ambiguously. Then, changing the topic, she asked, "How are the renovations coming along?"
After taking a sip of water, Mother Xu said, "Your father has already found someone to handle it."
"Do you need to go back and help, then?"
"No rush," Mother Xu said, her attention fully focused on the apartment. "This place can fit two people quite well. Which room is yours?"
"I"
"It's that one," Xu Xiangxiang answered before Xu Chuanchuan could. "Mom, Sis's room is massive! Her bed is massive as well!"
"Is that so? Let me see," Mother Xu said with interest. Then, she put down her cup and stood up from the sofa.
Meanwhile, Xu Chuanchuan subconsciously glanced at Murong Shi.
Murong Shi blinked her eyes in response, signaling for Xu Chuanchuan to stay calm.
Now that her mother had stated that she wanted to look at her room, Xu Chuanchuan dared not refuse. So, she quickly ran to her room and opened the door.
"It's quite spacious," Mother Xu commented while standing by the door. When her gaze fell onto the big bed in the room, she couldn't help but comment, "Look at that mess. Don't you know how to tidy up?"
Shrugging, Xu Chuanchuan said, "I just woke up not long ago, so it's bound to be messy."
Mother Xu speechlessly shook her head when she heard her daughter's excuse. Then, her eyes were drawn to something on the floor as she asked, "Why is there a durian here?"
Xu Chuanchuan wanted to say that she had bought the durian because she had a sudden urge to eat some, but before she could open her mouth, Xu Xiangxiang's exclamation interrupted her.
"Wah What a big whale!" Xu Xiangxiang exclaimed while pointing at the bed. Then, with her eyes glowing with surprise and excitement, she continued, "Sis, when did you buy this thing? It looks so cute!"
Before Xu Chuanchuan could react, Xu Xiangxiang had already dashed forward, embraced the whale bolster in her arms, and started rubbing her face against it. Then, Xu Xiangxiang asked, "Didn't you say you hated whales? So why did you buy a whale bolster?"
Holding her forehead, Xu Chuanchuan asked, "When did I say I hated whales?"
"The last time we went to the beach, you showed me an ugly expression when I called you to look at the whale. I thought you were afraid of it."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan did not wish to explain the specifics of the situation.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiangxiang couldn't get enough of the little whale as she repeatedly caressed it with her hands. Then, she said, "Give this to me!"
"No," Xu Chuanchuan refused, her face sinking. Then, she dashed over to snatch back the bolster. "Someone gave this to me."
"Who? Is it a guy?" Xu Xiangxiang frowned.
"A boy gave it to you?" Mother Xu joined in on the fun.
Xu Chuanchuan started getting a headache over this situation. Fortunately, Murong Shi stepped forward in time and said, "I gave it to her. Xiangxiang, if you like it, I'll buy one for you at a later date."
"Really?"
Taking advantage of Xu Xiangxiang's brief lapse in attention, Xu Chuanchuan successfully snatched the whale bolster back and returned it to the bed.
When Xu Xiangxiang saw how careful her elder sister treated the bolster, she pouted and complained, "Why are you so stingy? What's wrong with letting me hold it for a moment?"
Rolling her eyes, Xu Chuanchuan said, "You're covered in sweat, and you stink like hell."
"I don't stink!" Xu Xiangxiang said unhappily. As if to prove her point and vent her anger, she threw herself onto the bed.
"Xu Xiangxiang! Get up!" Xu Chuanchuan promptly pounced forward to smack her little sister's bum.
Xu Xiangxiang started rolling around after throwing herself on the bed. While doing so, she grabbed the pillow and threw it at Xu Chuanchuan's face. Immediately afterward, the two sisters started pinching and smacking each other's bodies.
Mother Xu was already accustomed to such situations, so she simply shook her head and sighed. Then, she shouted, "Can you two stop being so childish? Little Shi is still here. Are you not ashamed of yourselves?"
"AhOuch, ouch, ouch!" Xu Xiangxiang's face wrinkled as she cried out in pain.
"Don't give me that. I didn't even use any strength," Xu Chuanchuan said while tugging on Xu Xiangxiang's shirt.
"It really hurts! Something hard is pushing against my back. You get up first."
Xu Chuanchuan thought Xu Xiangxiang had laid down on her phone, so she helped her little sister up and pushed her aside. Then, when she flipped the blanket away, what she saw caused her heart to thump loudly.
"What's this?" Xu Xiangxiang reacted swiftly and picked up the item on the bed. "This thing looks familiar It looks like a"
When Murong Shi, who stood by the door together with Mother Xu, got a clear look at the object in Xu Xiangxiang's hand, a subtle frown formed on her face.
"Don't touch my things!" Xu Chuanchuan screamed as she pounced on Xu Xiangxiang.
Xu Xiangxiang accidentally toggled the item's switch with her finger when Xu Chuanchuan pounced on her, and the thing suddenly started "buzzing." Surprised by the item's buzzing and vibrations, Xu Xiangxiang loosened her grip, and the object fell to the floor.
The buzzing device was conical in shape, and it had a long handle and a round head. The head was slightly smaller than an adult's fist. Accompanied by the strange "buzzing" sound, the device started twitching and bouncing on the floor.
Xu Chuanchuan's face instantly turned beet red, and she hurriedly crouched down to pick up the device. Unfortunately, she was a second too slow as Xu Xiangxiang beat her to the punch once more.
Xu Xiangxiang's eyes widened as she looked at the vibrating spherical head. Then, in realization, she shouted, "This is a vibrator!"
Xu Chuanchuan saw her life flashing before her eyes.
Indeed, the device was a vibrator, and it was a gift from Murong Shi during the Qixi Festival.
The brand was one that Fang Qin recommended, and Murong Shi had secretly asked Fang Qin to buy one for her online. On the night the product arrived, Xu Chuanchuan and Murong Shi had eagerly put it to use, and the results were satisfactory. Hence, they had always left it hidden under the pillow.
How this item came rolling out to the center of the bed was a question Xu Chuanchuan couldn't be bothered to think about. Right now, the only thing she could think about was snatching back the vibrator before she lost her mind.
While Xu Chuanchuan was desperately fighting for the vibrator, Xu Xiangxiang's voice appeared once more as she said, "Heavens! Sis, why do you have this thing?! Y-Y-You"
Mother Xu grew puzzled as she watched her two daughters fighting over the vibrating device. Then, she asked Murong Shi, "What's a vibrator?"
Murong Shi was a little surprised by the question. After pondering for a moment, she calmly said, "It's used for massages."
"Is it good?" Mother Xu asked, eager for more knowledge.
"..." Murong Shi started having difficulty keeping a straight face. So, she turned her head away, let out a light cough, and said, "It's quite comfortable."
Upon hearing the word "comfortable," Mother Xu smiled and said, "Xiangxiang, let me take a look at it."
Xu Xiangxiang revealed a horrified look upon hearing her mother's request. Then, she said, "Mom, don't mess around. This thing is used forUu"
Xu Chuanchuan finally lost it as she clamped Xu Xiangxiang's mouth shut with one hand and snatched back the vibrator with her other hand. Then, she warned her little sister in a fierce tone, "I'll reduce your pocket money if you dare say a word!"
This move was effective no matter the time, and Xu Xiangxiang hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Xu Chuanchuan breathed out a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, when Xu Chuanchuan released her little sister's mouth, Xu Xiangxiang fearlessly said, "You need to hide these things properly!"
"..." After guiltily glancing at the two people standing by the door, Xu Chuanchuan gritted her teeth and said, "You shut your mouth!"
