My Childhood Sweetheart Gradually Puffed Up CH.40

Chapter 40: 09D09F

The next day, Fu Chengque woke up from her dream.

Lou Xuanli was also awakened, seeing her panting, she asked, “What’s wrong, had a dream?”

Fu Chengque made a twisted expression and said, “It was a… weird dream? It was both good and bad, really speechless.”

It was Sunday, and although there were many tasks, few people, work still had to be done.

Fu Chengque felt like it was too demanding, but the rewards were indeed generous. Lou Xuanli brought back a brand new iPhone last night, saying it was a reward from the boss, making her very envious.

If someone gave her one, she wouldn’t mind working through the weekend and even staying up until ten at night.

Speaking of which, if she got Wen Yu one, and let him sleep with her for an hour, would that be considered tempting?

Wait a minute, is Wen Yu worth such a high price?

And wait a minute… shouldn’t it be the other way around? Why would she give Wen Yu anything??

Doing things in a daze, she rested for two hours after lunch and then continued working. By four in the afternoon, Lou Xuanli came to take her to the restaurant downstairs.

“Qiao’er, how’s the feeling of working?”

“Tired… I just want to sleep.”

“Haha, it’s like this at this time. There’s nothing to be done, there are too few people, we’re planning to hire more, it would be much easier if you came in two weeks.”

“It’s okay, I’m experiencing it.”

“Indeed, it’s hard work. I’m paying you now.”

After saying that, she took out her phone and transferred money to Fu Chengque, with a note saying: Employee Fu Chengque’s two-day salary.

【Transfer: Amount 500 yuan.】

Fu Chengque was startled and didn’t dare to accept it, “Cousin, we agreed on 200…”

“Just take it, you’ve been so tired these past two days, right? What other job would be this tiring, especially since you’ve been working overtime, 200 is not enough at all!”

“But this is too much…”

“Is it too much for your cousin to give you 100 yuan?”

“Well, that’s true. When we were kids, you always encouraged me to spend money on food, and then you ate a lot…”

“…”

Lou Xuanli awkwardly coughed, “Alright, you’ve worked hard too. I’ve bought your train ticket, go back and freshen up, then I’ll take you to the station.”

Fu Chengque teared up, “Thank you, cousin…”

Wiping away tears while trembling, she accepted the money: WeChat payment 500 yuan.

With the money in hand, no tears flowed.

Fu Chengque immediately became happy, “Got money! Feeling good! Let’s pack up and go home!”

She opened the group chat on her phone, intending to immediately announce this significant piece of good news to lift the spirits of the group.

【Queen’s First Harem】(5)

【Fu Chengque】: How can there be no leader among dragons? This empress is about to return to her throne! Come out to welcome!

【Fu Chengque】: Where are you all? @Xiao Gua, @Wen Yu, @Lu Bu Tong Min Tian Qu, @Fang Ling Fang

【Fu Chengque】: Wow, what have you guys changed this to?

【Xiao Gua】: Hahaha, it’s fun, right?

【Lu Bu Tong Min Tian Qu】: Chengque, you should change one too.

【Fang Ling Fang】: Hahaha, hilarious, we were playing at Lu Min’s house and changed together.

【Xiao Gua】: Rich woman loves me, her house is really big, the bedroom even has its own TV.

【Xiao Gua】: Watching variety shows comfortably, @Fu Chengque, let’s watch together next Monday.

【Fu Chengque】: Alright, you guys. I’m working hard outside, and my harem has already blended together.

【Fu Chengque】: This empress will go back and tidy you all up.

【Fu Chengque】: @Wen Yu, where are you?

Wen Yu is sleeping.

He slept until 12 o’clock in the morning, got up and had a snack downstairs, went out to stroll around the old town of Nancheng, experienced the local customs, and then returned to the hotel to continue sleeping until after five o’clock.

A wonderful day.

Looking at the time, Wen Yu packed up his things and set off for Nancheng Station.

On the way, he read the group chat messages, ignoring Fu Chengque.

The 6 o’clock train, when Wen Yu arrived at the station, the advance ticket check just started, but there were quite a few people in line. Wen Yu didn’t want to squeeze, so he queued up at the end.

He looked around but didn’t see Fu Chengque.

Ticket check, boarding.

There were quite a few people, bustling.

Car 02 seat 09D.

Fu Chengque’s seat was 09F, as Lou Xuanli said.

Wen Yu slowly approached, with a mischievous smile on his face, looking sneaky.

He planned to sit down while Fu Chengque wasn’t paying attention, then say a cheesy line to tease her.

But when his gaze passed the back of the seat and saw the figure of the girl, Wen Yu was directly stunned.

Fu Chengque was leaning against the window, asleep.

Wen Yu slowly sat down, his gaze always on Fu Chengque’s face. He could tell she wasn’t pretending to sleep, she was really sleeping.

What has she been doing these past few days?

Is she that tired?

Sleeping as soon as she gets on the train?

What if a pickpocket or someone with ulterior motives approaches her while she’s defenseless?

He felt a mix of anger and speechlessness, luckily he was here, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

Wen Yu tried calling Fu Chengque.

“Miss Fu?”

“…”

“Chengque?”

“…”

“So sleepy?”

“Mm…”

“Alright, go ahead and sleep.”

“Mm…”

Fu Chengque responded twice, turned her head, glanced sleepily at Wen Yu, then leaned against his shoulder and continued sleeping, with a faint smile on her face.

“Wen Yu, hehe…”

Hehe, my foot.

Can you even laugh when you’re asleep?

Wen Yu shifted his body slightly towards Fu Chengque, making her more comfortable against him.

Unable to move his body and unable to play with his phone, Wen Yu decided to take a nap himself. No matter how long he slept at night, sitting on the train made him extremely sleepy.

Wen Yu looked at Fu Chengque beside him.

The girl was sleeping soundly against his shoulder. Her previously furrowed brows had now relaxed.

This was an experience that Wen Yu had never had before in his past life. The face so close to him, the fragrance filling his nostrils, and the barely perceptible warmth all conveyed one fact to Wen Yu — Fu Chengque was sleeping beside him.

His heart suddenly started racing, somewhat uncontrollably.

Taking a few deep breaths, Wen Yu calmed himself down.

He leaned back against the seat, closed his eyes, and gradually drifted off to sleep with the swaying of the train…

Not far ahead and to the side, sat two boys, one fat and one skinny.

The skinny one held a drawing in his hands, his expression intoxicated as he admired the anime characters depicted on it.

The fat one grinned beside him. “Bro, how’s it going? This comic con in Nancheng isn’t disappointing, right? You can’t buy this drawing online, it’s limited edition.”

“Bro, it’s really good.”

“Haha, my wife looks so pretty.”

“Yeah, anime wives are the best.”

As the fat one bent down to pick up something that had fallen, he caught sight of a sleeping couple leaning on each other behind them, looking somewhat familiar.

“Bro, look at those two behind us, do you recognize them?”

The skinny one turned back at his words. “This… am I seeing things, or is the girl Fu Chengque?”

After scrutinizing for a moment, the fat one nodded. “It’s her!”

“The girl is Fu Chengque, but who’s the guy?”

“Bro, you’re asking a question you already know the answer to… it’s Wen Yu.”

The skinny one’s expression immediately turned pained, his hands hanging limp, his anime wife falling to the ground. He lamented in frustration:

“And they said they were just childhood sweethearts!”
