Chapter 244: Please Spare Me

In school…

Tang Beibei went to school and realized that many people looked at her. Confused, she asked Ruan Qi if something had happened.

Ruan Qi looked at her new hairstyle. “Nice hair. Naturally people will look.”

“My husband chose this hairstyle for me. 1 think it looks good too.”

“Your husband has good taste.”

Ruan Qi looked at her own hair. “Tsk, my hairstyle suddenly isn’t trendy anymore.”

The two of them planned to shoot a video first, because Fu Jin said that they should post a new video every week. For this episode, they planned to find an interesting location and do a dance that they had learned at the dance studio. It was less stressful this way.

After they finished shooting, they sent the video to Song Zhou. Ruan Qi wanted to practice dance but Tang Beibei said that they should revise.

“… Beibei, you’re torturing me on purpose, right?”

“It’s not me. It’s the exams.”

The week of their final exams was almost here.

She wanted Ruan Qi to start her revisions early. Otherwise, if something cropped up in the last few days and she didn’t study for the exams, she would definitely fail.

Despite her reluctance, Ruan Qi dragged her feet and followed Tang Beibei to the library with her school bag. She looked extremely miserable, like she was entering a torture chamber.

After two hours of revision, Ruan Qi ran out of the library like a bird released from its cage. Free at last and elated!

Tang Beibei wanted to laugh but she comforted Ruan Qi on their way to the dance studio.

“We’re striking a balance here. After hitting the books, we’ll have more motivation to dance. Is it good?”

“No, no. Hitting the books is the bitterness in my life, and dancing is the sweetness. What a balanced combination.”

Tang Beibei didn’t think that dance practice was the sweetness in their lives. She was so tired and her sweat drenched the floor. She could fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes when she lay on the floor. Dancing was more like joyful suffering.

And this kind of suffering wasn’t over yet.

She and Ruan Qi were going to practice some more at night but they couldn’t even lift their wrists during dinner.

Jiang Jingchen frowned and quickly asked Silent Sister to bring him a spoon so that he could feed Tang Beibei.

Tang Beibei noticed Ruan Qi’s condition and was a little embarrassed. “I can eat by myself.”

“You can’t even pick up food. Just sit and rest.”

Tang Beibei’s wrists were indeed hurting a little, so she didn’t argue with him. However, she saw Ruan Qi’s pitiful expression as she looked at her. So, she turned to look at Song Zhou.

“Song Zhou, why don’t you help Ruan Qi?”

“…” Song Zhou cleared his throat and said, “This isn’t appropriate, right?”

“No, it isn’t.”

Ruan Qi was not happy either. It was not like she couldn’t endure hardship. She didn’t need to trouble others for such a small matter.

But Tang Beibei’s sweet relationship was still enviable.

After dinner, Tang Beibei dragged Ruan Qi to revise for their exams.

Ruan Qi hugged her bag and said that she wanted to go home.

“Being friends with a top student already hurts my body and mind. Yest 1 must witness her lovey-dovey and doubt my life…”

Tang Beibei laughed in frustration. “If you failed, even life wouldn’t want to be doubted by you. Come to the study with me, Qiqi.”

Ruan Qi sighed and shouted at Jiang Jingchen, “Jiang Jingchen, your annoying wife is abusing a poor singleton. Can’t you do anything about this?”

“Abuse is good for your physical and mental health. Go, Beibei!”

Ruan Qi flung her bag angrily over her shoulder and almost hit Song Zhou. Song Zhou quickly dodged and sighed helplessly.

“All I can do is prepare fruits and refreshing candies for you.”

“… Get lost. If you speak about your stupid candy again, 1’11 rape you!”

Song Zhou was speechless.

Before New Year’s Day, there was Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Christmas Eve was very popular abroad. Jiang Jingchen had lived abroad for many years, and Song Zhou had grown up abroad, so they cared about Christmas Eve and Christmas.

He woke up early in the morning to prep.

He put up a Christmas tree and decorated it. He even hung Christmas trinkets and fairy lights around the villa. It looked quite festive.

Tang Beibei looked at the Christmas tree that was as tall as her and was a little curious. This was the first time she saw private Christmas decorations.

Song Zhou explained to her that he did this every year when they lived overseas. Since they were celebrating the festive season here this year, he wanted things to feel right.

Tang Beibei was curious. “These are usually done with one’s family. Song Zhou, where’s your family?”

Song Zhou froze momentarily before he said, “My family is the young master. I celebrate Christmas with the young master.”

“Are you related to my husband by blood?”

Jiang Jingchen walked over and patted her head. “Song Zhou treats me as his family. You are his family too.”

Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that she had asked a very stupid question. She was a little regretful and quickly said, “Oh, that’s true.”

When they were seated at the dining table, she asked Jiang Jingchen in a low voice, “I shouldn’t have asked about Song Zhou’s family just now, right?”

“You shouldn’t have.”

“Why?”

Jiang Jingchen rubbed her head and whispered, “His parents have passed. Song Zhou had a younger sister but she has also passed. He was adopted after that and came to take care of me.”

“Oh.” Tang Beibei pursed her lips. “I didn’t know Song Zhou had such a sad life. It’s quite pitiful.”

“So, do you now know why I always look for opportunities to bring Song Zhou and Ruan Qi together?”

“What? When have you brought them together?”

Jiang Jingchen licked his lips. His little wife’s brain was really worrying sometimes.

Ruan Qi was right. She had a high IQbut a low EQ and was awkward at times.

However, she couldn’t be blamed for this. She had grown up among beasts when everything she did was wrong. So, she was slow in understanding many things.

However, this was also good because she was slow to realize that she had been mistreated.

“I asked Song Zhou to dance with you guys to give them a chance. I also just sent Ruan Qi a message asking her to spend Christmas Eve with us.”

“Oh, 1 get it now.”

Tang Beibei scratched her head and giggled. “Hubby, am I stupid? 1 didn’t even notice these things.”

She had thought at the time that Jiang Jingchen asked Song Zhou to join them because he wanted to help them make their dance better.

“No, you’re not stupid. You’re just simple-minded. Absorb more of my essence energy and you’ll become smarter.”

“Absorb your essence energy? I’m not a monster.” She complained.

Jiang Jingchen liked to tease her with a serious face because he liked seeing her embarrassed and angry face when she realized that she had been tricked.

“You’re not a monster, you’re a demon.”

Tang Beibei laughed in exasperation and quickly stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth.

Tang Beibei still had classes today. When she arrived at school, she saw Ruan Qi in a red dress, looking very festive.

She couldn’t bear to do that, but she still asked, “Qiqi, do you remember what class we have today?”

“What class?”

“Anatomy. We are going to dissect a corpse using scalpels today. You… Um.”

Ruan Qi quickly covered her mouth. “Just imagining it makes me sick. Please spare me.”

Ruan Qi had always been afraid of corpses. She dreaded every anatomy class and deliberately overlooked today’s class..
