Of course, those simple little things in life also included him doing some trivial tasks, like changing light bulbs while she steadied the stool—so simple, yet so blissful.
For a long time, this kind of simple happiness, as time slipped by, seemed like a distant dream.
Especially on the days when she was alone, if a light bulb went out, she would have to nervously climb up on the stool to change it herself.
At those times, she would think how wonderful it would be if there was a man by her side to do these simple things for her!
But she never expected that tonight, in this quiet evening, it would all happen again.
Ling Momo looked at Li Qingshen, slightly distracted when suddenly a ringtone erupted; before Ling Momo could react, Li Qingshen bowed his head and said to her, "Go and answer the phone for me."
Ling Momo, still a bit dazed, nodded. With one hand on the stool and the other fumbling to pull Li Qingshen’s phone from his pocket, she then bent down and saw that it was Selene’s call. She paused for a moment, then looked up and said to him, "Teacher, it’s Selene."
Li Qingshen’s expression remained calm, still twisting the light bulb, he casually said, "Answer it for me, please."
Ling Momo uttered an "oh," and then pressed the answer button. A particularly pleasant female voice came through, speaking fluently in English, "Darling, where are you?"
Ling Momo was stunned; not only was that girl good-looking, but her voice was also so pleasant. Instantly, she somewhat reluctantly uttered a "hello."
"Who are you?" Upon hearing Ling Momo speaking in Chinese, the Selene on the phone quickly switched to Chinese as well, "Where’s Qingshen?"
Ling Momo lifted her head and glanced at Li Qingshen, casually responding without much thought, "He’s above me."
Li Qingshen’s hand, twisting the light bulb, paused slightly, then he continued nonchalantly.
Ling Momo, completely unaware of how her words might have sounded, continued, "Wait a moment, he’ll call you back."
On the other end, Selene’s voice, tinged with surprise, said, "Oh my God, sorry, carry on," and then quickly hung up.
Ling Momo frowned and glanced at the phone, puzzledly thinking, "Carry on what?"
Then, she threw the phone aside.
By then, Li Qingshen had finished installing the light bulb and effortlessly jumped down from above, walked over, and flipped the switch. The room flooded with light. He stared at Ling Momo, grinning ambiguously, then leisurely walked over to the couch, picked up his phone, and returned a call to Selene.
Ling Momo knew Li Qingshen was calling Selene back, and she listened intently, her eyes occasionally darting across Li Qingshen’s expressions. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"What’s up?" The call was quickly answered, and Li Qingshen spoke in a light tone. Not knowing what Selene said on the other end, he chuckled lightly and said, "No, it’s not what you think... but yes, I was indeed above her..."
At that moment, Ling Momo’s mind exploded as she suddenly realized what an ambiguously suggestive comment she had made over the phone to Selene!
