DTBS - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Extra: True or False: Eight Seconds

Qin Qingshang's overall experience during her day trip to Chunjin wasn't particularly pleasant. She chose the wrong time; on a Monday, Tao Qiuyun's meetings were scheduled back-to-back from morning until closing time.

Aside from having lunch with Tao Qiuyun at the sky restaurant, where they shared a straw and spread some PDA, she noticed she was being quietly watched while wandering around in the afternoon. It seemed she was affecting the normal work of other employees.

Qin Qingshang didn't want to distract her wife's employees, so she had to return to the office, sit in the CEO's chair, and play on her phone boredly, lying prone on the desk.

She even scared away a few employees who came to the office looking for Tao Qiuyun.

In the end, the Cat concluded: Sitting in an office is no fun at all!

"Of course, it's not fun at the company; no work is interesting," Tao Qiuyun unlocked the door and entered, changing into her slippers. "Qingshang, I've already told Secretary Zheng today to push back non-urgent appointments. Except for necessary remote video conferences, she'll handle everything else for me. I'll even lend her Driver Zhang. I'm taking a vacation during this time."

"Can you really take a vacation?" Qin Qingshang entered the house, stroking the Big Dog that came over, wagging its tail and rubbing against her. "Oh, right, where's Qinqin?"

"Woof!" Long time no see!

"Qinqin is quite popular lately," Tao Qiuyun couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and wrapped her arms around her wife's waist, leading her to the bathroom to wash their hands. "Qingxiang wants to take her out to play, and Grandpa also wants to take her out to play. She's a little one who manages her time well. I even heard Mom say last time that Qinqin is drawing up some kind of schedule, spending time with one person today and another tomorrow, not offending anyone."

"Then she must have inherited it from you," Qin Qingshang splashed water on the woman's face beside her. "I was chatting with Sister Huai before, and she said you used to take time management as an elective."

"It's actually a required course, not an elective," Tao Qiuyun said helplessly, handing her the towel. "Only by reasonably arranging every moment can you maximize benefits."

"Then tell me, how should we arrange the time we have now? Let me learn how you efficiently arrange every minute and second," Qin Qingshang smiled and leaned towards the woman, teasing her.

"Okay, first point," Tao Qiuyun nodded, looking serious as if teaching. "Since we're already in the bathroom, Qingshang, now that we're here, why don't we shower first before talking about dinner? Maximize efficiency."

"?" The Cat stared at her strangely, taking a step back.

"What? Didn't you want to learn my time management?"

"Then you go out. I'll shower here. You go to the other bathroom."

"Hurry up, hurry up! Let's save time!" Qin Qingshang pushed her out of the bathroom.

Seeing the closed bathroom door, Tao Qiuyun curved her lips, beckoned the Big Bold lying on the floor to come over, and whispered, "Let's go, I'll take you to play."

"Woof~" What are we playing, woof~

After showering, Qin Qingshang thought about how they hadn't seen each other for a long time and things would definitely heat up tonight. To avoid unnecessary actions, she simply wrapped herself in a bathrobe, poked her head out, and didn't find Tao Qiuyun in the living room.

Good, the coffee table was passed. She didn't want to experience the cold glass again.

She walked around the house and heard movement from the master bedroom. Pushing open the slightly ajar door, she saw the Big Dog running around inside. It seemed the floor was too slippery, and it couldn't brake in time, bumping into a shelf. A small box fell down.

"Big Bold!" Qin Qingshang stepped forward and grabbed the struggling Big Dog, holding its ears and instructing, "Don't run around in the house. Look, luckily what fell wasn't big. If that were Qiuqiu's trophy, your head would be swollen!"

"Woof woof woof woof!" Woof was threatened~

Qin Qingshang didn't understand, only taking it as her beloved pet acting spoiled. She stroked its head, her palm sinking into the soft fur, and her mood instantly brightened. "Alright, I won't scold you anymore, remember that!"

As she spoke, she bent down to pick up the small box. After seeing the French text and picture on it, her movements instantly froze.

Why hadn't Tao Qiuyun gotten rid of this thing yet? Was she planning to keep it for another year?

"Qingshang?" Tao Qiuyun chose the perfect timing, just stepping out of the bathroom. Qin Qingshang turned around and instantly held her breath.

The bright and beautiful woman slowly walked towards her. She seemed to have dried her hair before leaving the bathroom, her long black hair casually draped over her shoulders. But she was wearing nothing else, just wrapping a towel around her chest, seemingly completely unconcerned that someone had suddenly appeared in the room.

"You! How can you not wear clothes in front of Big Bold!" The Cat instantly clutched the box and stood up to question her.

"Big Bold is just a dog," Tao Qiuyun wrapped the towel securely, her exposed thighs half-hidden by the white towel. "And she's a girl."

"Not even a dog!" Qin Qingshang decisively grabbed the tilting-headed Big Dog. "Go, go, go, go play on the balcony by yourself."

"Woof~" Woof is just a tool dog here too!

Having helped Qingxiang for a long time, Big Bold was already very skilled in its duties. Knowing it had finished its job, it obediently wagged its tail and trotted away.

After chasing the dog away, Qin Qingshang decisively closed the bedroom door and turned to stare at Tao Qiuyun's... thighs.

Had it been too long since they last met, or was there something wrong with her phone camera? Why did it feel a little different from what she saw in the video call tonight?

"What's this?" Tao Qiuyun chuckled softly.

"Legs, so white," the Cat murmured.

"What?" The woman seemed not to have heard clearly. She walked up to Qin Qingshang, smiled, and took her right hand, her eyes full of charm. "I was asking what you're holding."

"...!" Qin Qingshang quickly pulled her hand back. "I was going to ask you! Why haven't you thrown this thing away yet?"

Seeing what it was, Tao Qiuyun took it from her hand and casually tossed it aside. "It should be thrown away. I forgot."

Qin Qingshang, who had been shy, became a little curious seeing Tao Qiuyun's indifferent attitude. "Are you really going to throw it away? Don't you want to try it?"

"Why would I use it?" Tao Qiuyun shook her head. "If I wanted to use it, I would have opened the package long ago. There's no need to wait this long, right?"

"Then, then I thought you wanted to use it on me," the Cat said softly.

"I won't use it on you," the woman reached out and gently stroked her face, leaning closer. "What if you fall in love with it and start disliking me? I wouldn't do such an unprofitable business."

Hearing this, Qin Qingshang became unhappy. "What do you mean by that? Why do you think I would like, like that kind of..." Her voice got softer and softer as she spoke, still carrying some uncertainty about the unknown.

"Because it can take you to the peak in just eight seconds. I definitely can't compare to it. With it being so excellent beforehand, after you've tasted the sweetness, would you still choose bitter melon?" Tao Qiuyun's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she tilted her head, seemingly a little down.

"That's just advertising copy! Besides," seeing her unhappy, the Cat quickly turned her face towards her and leaned in for a kiss. "Qiuqiu, you're amazing! I was so happy!"

"But it still can't compare to its eight seconds, its efficiency and mobility," Tao Qiuyun seemed to get sadder the more she thought about it, and simply walked to the bed and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, the towel on her thigh moved up again.

"Don't be discouraged, Qiuqiu!" Qin Qingshang decisively picked up the small box from the floor again and sat down on the edge of the bed with her. While opening it, she said, "This thing isn't as magical as it says. Ad copy, you know, it exaggerates the effect. Let's try it now. I'll time it with my phone. It definitely can't get me there in eight seconds!"

Tao Qiuyun: "...Huh? It wouldn't be that bad, would it?"

"It's okay, Qiuqiu, come," Qin Qingshang swung her legs onto the bed and patted the spot beside her. "They say practice makes perfect. Tonight, we'll verify how fake this ad copy is."

As Tao Qiuyun sat sideways on the bed, her towel accidentally came undone. Seeing the Cat's breathing slightly erratic, she leaned forward, took hold of her bathrobe tie, and confirmed again, "Really going to time it?"

"Mhm mhm," the Cat nodded frantically, following the swaying whiteness in front of her eyes.

Tao Qiuyun stared at her, took the remote control and manual the Cat handed her, and seeing her fumbling with it, decisively took over the task of 'adjusting position' and pressed her down. "What setting?"

"Go straight to the highest setting!" Qin Qingshang stared at her.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

The moment the button was pressed, Tao Qiuyun clearly felt her arm being frantically pinched by the woman. Soon, she saw the phone in Qin Qingshang's hand directly fall out. She didn't even have the presence of mind to press the stop button.

Tao Qiuyun controlled the smile on her face while releasing the button.

The woman's pleased sounds were still in her ear. Tao Qiuyun looked down at her, seeing the Cat's eyes unfocused and her soft moans continuous, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you okay, Qingshang?"

Was she too hard on the little naughty cat? She shouldn't have tricked her.

"I... I'm fine," Qin Qingshang clutched the bedsheet with one hand. She seemed not to have recovered yet, her other hand still resting on Tao Qiuyun's arm. "H-how many seconds?"

She could be said to be very dedicated to her original intention.

Tao Qiuyun picked up the phone, which was still counting, and lowered her eyes to estimate. "About eight seconds."

Qin Qingshang's face was slightly red, her hand slowly sliding from the woman's arm to her neck. She hooked her finger, making Tao Qiuyun lean down, and whispered breathlessly in her ear, "Qiuqiu, I haven't done that with you for too long. It might be like this at first, but next time, I'll definitely prove that fake ad copy wrong."

"...You want to do it again?"

"Come on, Qiuqiu~" Qin Qingshang's voice was alluring. "Again."

Tao Qiuyun pressed the button.

The Cat gasped...

Tao Qiuyun released the button again.

Picked up the phone to check the time...

"Again!"

"Again!"

"Woof woof woof, again!"

This time, it was Tao Qiuyun who couldn't watch anymore. She said in a low voice, "Qingshang, you don't actually like this feeling, do you? So you're planning to abandon me and spend the whole night getting acquainted with this little thing?"

After all, if a certain little thing is stimulated directly, the accumulation and release of emotions are very extreme. She had studied Qingxiang's academic papers repeatedly. In this regard, humans definitely couldn't compare to machines. She easily thought that Qin Qingshang might have genuinely gotten hooked.

"No way~" The Cat reached out and pushed her, turning her head away with a slight hint of guilt. "Qiuqiu, you're still very amazing, but aren't we debunking a myth! Testing needs data diversity; you can't see the problem with just one or two times."

If Tao Qiuyun was pretending to be jealous before, she was genuinely jealous this time. She threw a certain toy aside under the Cat's gasp and leaned forward. "What? You want many times?"

"Hehe~"

"Hmm?"

"Are you jealous?" Qin Qingshang blinked and complained softly, "Qiuqiu, you're so petty."

"Petty or not, why don't you feel it yourself?"

"Aren't we going to keep playing with the toy?"

"...I'll go out and throw it away tomorrow."

Seeing that Tao Qiuyun was serious, Qin Qingshang finally couldn't help but laugh. "Qiuqiu, you're really easy to tease!"

"What?" Tao Qiuyun was slightly stunned.

The Cat reached out and hugged her, then bit the woman's chin. "Actually, everything just now... was all acting! I didn't believe you were really sad that you couldn't compare to 'eight seconds'. You just wanted to trick me into saying I wanted to try it, right? So I played along. Now you know, hmph hmph~ This is called lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot."

Seeing the woman's surprised look, the Cat chuckled. "See if you dare to trick me again in the future. Your wife is an actress who's going to win Best Actress! After knowing you're a bad guy, how could I not see through your bad intentions! Naive~"

Tao Qiuyun: "..."

The woman was silent at first, then she pressed down on the Cat, who was happily laughing to herself, and said in a low voice, "Acting? Okay, I'll see how good my wife's acting is tonight."

"Eh?"

Later that night—

"No more, I can't take it anymore. This isn't acting, I'm really done." Qin Qingshang clutched the bedsheet and crawled forward.

But she was quickly grabbed by the ankle by the woman and dragged back...

"Qingshang, what should I do? I can't tell if you're genuinely begging for mercy or just acting."

"No more, grinding like this is really tiring. We have to look at wedding dresses tomorrow... Tao Qiuyun!"

"You're acting again."

"Woof woof woof," the Cat sobbed, "No, no!"

"Try acting again."

"I wouldn't dare act with you again, Qiuqiu, woof~"

Help! She really knew she was wrong. She would never use her acting skills in this area again!

It was really satisfying, but it was also really tiring...

The Cat clutched the bedsheet, sinking into deep regret.

This is called, lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot (the Cat prayed)
