Chapter 36: Rainy Days (After the Little Landlord Fell Into Poverty)

 Chapter 36: Rainy Day


Oh my god!


What what what, what is this thing!


Meng Xiaoxi's eyes widened, his mind went blank, and he didn't dare to click randomly anymore, but his eyes couldn't help but glance upwards.


Just like when Shen-ge first arrived, both of them have short hair, but their hair and eye colors are different. They are also well-lit, with expressions on their faces that are particularly focused, the battle is intense, and the cheers for support are passionate.


The mat below looks particularly soft, sinking and rising with the movements.


After another flash of lightning, the sound of the rain grew much louder, and hurried footsteps could be heard outside.


It's over, it's over!


Meng Xiaoxi looked flustered and hurriedly stuffed the phone under the blanket, then pressed a pillow on top of it.


"It really started pouring! Fortunately, we made it in time and managed to get them all into the pen.”


Shen Qingzhou put away the umbrella, fearing that the rainwater would seep into the house, and casually closed the door.


He stomped the water off his shoes, changed into a pair at the door, and then walked over here, wiping his hair with a cloth as he went.


"Why aren't you playing anymore? Did you pass the level?”


"I, don't—"


"Uh?"


As soon as Shen Qingzhou looked up, he saw Meng Xiaoxi sitting on the edge of the bed, his face flushed, looking flustered, with his hands clutching his clothes tightly, fists clenched.


"What's wrong, Xiaoxi? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”


"No..." Meng Xiaoxi's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye.


Shen Qingzhou put down the cloth, rubbed his hands together, and was about to come over to check his forehead, "Then you—"


At that moment, a strange sound came from under the blanket.


Meng Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat.


"What is it?"


Shen Qingzhou looked puzzled, stepped forward to move the pillow, lifted the blanket, and saw two foreigners intensely battling on their phones, completely unclothed.


His brain instantly went boom, and countless "What the hell" exploded in his mind.


What is this!


He had many times wanted Meng Xiaoxi to see what they looked like back then, the scenery and the people, but unfortunately, all the photos and videos were gone. He never expected that the first thing to be revealed would be something like this!


I can only be thankful that our relationship is already very close now. If he had discovered this before confessing, it would have been even more awkward, and who knows, I might have scared him away.


Shen Qingzhou hurriedly closed the video and returned to the house-building interface; it seemed to be a pop-up from a shameless ad.


I just don't know why this popped up, it has never happened before. It might be a phone bug, or maybe the signal was affected by the lightning. The rain outside has gotten much heavier, and there's thunder and lightning.


The two people looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say.


"Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't know this would happen either." Shen Qingzhou stammered.


Meng Xiaoxi was still blushing and asked him in a low voice, "Are all the people from your side like that?"


"No, no, no! How is that possible!" Shen Qingzhou quickly explained.


Heaven and earth! He hasn't even seen this kind of thing.


"The people over there are pretty much the same as now; they have to work, support their families, do business, and raise the next generation. When going out, they need to dress appropriately and behave normally. It's just that there are more types of work, and there are also more novel things."


"But this kind of thing! This is my first time seeing something like this too, really!" Shen Qingzhou hurriedly distanced himself, "Look at their hair, eye color, and mine—totally different!"


"Are they outsiders? Barbarians." Meng Xiaoxi gave him a way out.


"Yes, yes, yes! That's right." Shen Qingzhou felt a bit embarrassed; actually, people from all over were involved in this shoot, it's just that there were more foreigners.


"I saw that their houses are very clean and bright, and they have those things that look like beds, which seem particularly soft. Do you all live in houses like that over there?" Meng Xiaoxi's words carried a hint of envy.


"Yeah, more or less. There are too many people and not enough land where we are. Towns usually build high-rise buildings with many floors, but in the countryside, there are still quite a few brick and tile houses. As for cleanliness, it depends on personal hygiene habits. That bed-like thing is a sofa, used for sitting and resting on a daily basis.”


Shen Qingzhou suddenly thought, the two people in the video weren't resting at all, and added, "They can also be used as a bed."


The atmosphere, which had already eased, became awkward again because of his remark.


Meng Xiaoxi was somewhat puzzled, "Shen-ge, isn't this something only lovers can do? Why were they so careless as to let others see this?”


"Uh—" Shen Qingzhou didn't know how to tell him that, in fact, mating is an animal instinct. Some people have high moral standards and can restrain themselves, but there are also some people who can do it with anyone.


"Indeed, it is something lovers often do, but not entirely. Those novels you read, some of them mention places of ill repute, right? These things that others see are mostly similar to those people in the brothels and taverns, only doing it for money, with no real feelings involved.”


"Oh, I see! Then they are quite pitiful.”


In the storybooks that Meng Xiaoxi read, only people with tragic backgrounds would end up in such places.


Shen Qingzhou didn't correct him either; whether coerced or voluntary, they couldn't help those people in the slightest.
