Urban Soldier Young Master

On the screen, sure enough, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were about to take off their clothes. Chu Ge felt a bit awkward and scratched his head with his free hand. This... if he kept watching, it might not be quite appropriate?

But then Chu Ge thought, he'd already specifically told Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan about the cameras installed in the room, so these two girls would definitely be aware of this issue.

Hmm... they should be, right?

Thinking this, Chu Ge still couldn't tear his gaze away from the phone screen.

If he had to make a comparison, it would be like being at the beach where you can see beautiful girls in bikinis everywhere. When you first arrive, it's quite exciting at first glance, but after watching for a while, the novelty wears off and you don't feel much, you might even experience aesthetic fatigue.

But if you're walking down the street and suddenly a gust of wind lifts a girl's skirt, and it just so happens that this girl suits your taste, or maybe she's even your goddess, that one glance would give you a fleeting but thrilling sight, enough to secretly enjoy for quite a while.

For Chu Ge now, although the situation was slightly different, it was pretty much the same idea.

The two girls were joking and laughing as they took off their clothes. Just when they had taken off their outerwear and pants, a door suddenly creaked in the quiet room.

The sound of the door wasn't particularly small, but definitely not very loud either. Yet for Chu Ge at that moment, it was too sudden, causing the hand holding the phone to tremble guiltily.

Helplessly, Chu Ge quickly shifted his gaze away from the screen, turned his head and looked up to see Qin Ruojing opening the bedroom door, looking at him with a strange expression.

"Hmm? When did you get back?" she asked while walking over to Chu Ge.

"Ah, just came back a little while ago." Sweating profusely under Qin Ruojing's gaze, Chu Ge thought to himself, you're really my dear wife, you sure have perfect timing, don't you? Lucky I have a strong heart, if it were someone timid, they might be scared by you.

"So you're back, why aren't you going to the room to sleep? What are you doing here?"

Chu Ge smiled sheepishly, "Uh, not sleepy yet, just playing with my phone, I'm planning to go back to sleep soon."

Qin Ruojing's expression grew even more peculiar, and she sniffed as she spoke, "Didn't you drink any alcohol while you were out for dinner? You don't have even a hint of alcohol smell."

"Isn't it because I'm worried about coming back smelling like alcohol and affecting your sleep? So I used the excuse of having a cold and said I was on antibiotics, didn't drink a drop, hehe..."

As he spoke, Chu Ge's hands weren't idle, he discreetly set down the phone, placing his right index finger on the power button.

"Not a drop? That's rare." Qin Ruojing was now only a few steps away from Chu Ge, she blinked speechlessly, "What were you looking at? You seemed so pleased, like you're over the moon."

"Oh, some nonsensical forum thread, some posts I found quite amusing, uh, well, overall pretty funny."

"Amusing posts? What kind of posts? Show me too."

"Uh, this might not be suitable for you."

"You're having such a good time with it, how do you know it's not suitable for me?"

"Well... they're my favorites, might really not be your thing."

"Then tell me, I'd like to hear a few. Maybe I'll like them too?"

"Well, alright, let me tell you one then."

Chu Ge chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, "This one is about a college dorm story. It tells of a student who washed his socks, went to the bathroom, and upon returning saw his roommate sniffing his socks nonstop. This scared the student, thinking what the heck are you doing, dude? At that moment, his roommate said something, guess what his roommate said?"

Qin Ruojing's eyes twitched, her expression filled with disgust, she shook her head, "It's definitely not something good."

Chu Ge pouted, "Your mind is so impure."

Qin Ruojing raised an eyebrow, "How is it impure? Could he possibly say something good?"

Chu Ge retorted, "Of course it's a good thing, uh... actually it's not that good, but definitely not what you're thinking."

Qin Ruojing looked incredulous, "Then tell me, what did the roommate say?"

Chu Ge deliberately paused for a few seconds, then said, "His roommate said, 'Damn it, did you use my laundry detergent again?'"

Qin Ruojing burst into laughter, "You know what, that is pretty amusing. Tell me more, do you have more jokes like this?"

Chu Ge laughed casually, talking nonsense in all seriousness, feeling relieved in his heart. Thankfully, the distance from Qin Ruojing's bedroom to the couch in the living room was enough for him to turn off the phone.

Qin Ruojing's eyes slightly drooped and landed on the phone screen. Chu Ge's eyes almost bulged out, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart. Damn it, the phone actually wasn't turned off and the screen froze!

With just a glimpse, the image on the screen was fixed in place, and it was... anyway, it was something that Chu Ge absolutely did not want Qin Ruojing to see!

That one glance... Chu Ge felt like his head was buzzing!

This phone is so unreliable. Why does it have to screw up at this moment? If it's going to malfunction, let it be, no other problems matter, but why did it have to freeze? Damn, isn't this too much?

Secretly smiling bitterly in his heart, Chu Ge had to tell another joke to distract Qin Ruojing and buy himself more time, hoping the phone would quickly get turned off.

"Okay, then I'll tell you another joke, listen." Chu Ge pressed the power button sneakily while continuing with his story.

"Whenever I want to slack off and be lazy, I tell myself that those better than me are working even harder. So, how about it? Isn't that full of positive energy, like a bowl of motivational chicken soup?"

Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge speechlessly, "This is such an old cliché that it's been around for decades. Is this even a joke? What's the point of telling it?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "Do you believe I can ruin this motivational chicken soup with just one more sentence?"

"Oh?" Qin Ruojing looked at Chu Ge with interest, "Go on, let me hear how you'll ruin it."

"Ahem," Chu Ge cleared his throat, "Whenever I want to slack off and be lazy, I tell myself that those better than me are working even harder, so... what's the point of me working hard?"

After saying that, Chu Ge laughed at himself, "How about it, isn't it funny?"

Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes, "What's so funny about that? It's really boring. If you never put in effort, you'll never make progress, and you'll only get further and further from success."

Chu Ge also rolled his eyes, "Come on, it's just a joke, no need to take it seriously. Just listen for a laugh."

As he spoke, Chu Ge discreetly glanced at his phone screen again; it was still frozen. Damn, is this for real? Does he have to keep making up jokes for Qin Ruojing?

Chu Ge smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems... there's no other choice.

"Alright, alright, if that wasn't funny, let me tell you another one." Chu Ge took a breath and his mind worked quickly. Fortunately, he had come across some pretty funny stuff lately, leaving a deep impression, otherwise, he'd really be in a pickle right now.

"Hmm... ahem, if life deceives you today, don't be sad, don't cry, because... life will continue to deceive you tomorrow, hehe... that's about it, nothing much to see." Chu Ge said awkwardly with a smile.

"Not seeing it is fine, I already know what it's generally about." Qin Ruojing, by now, had sat down beside Chu Ge on the sofa, gave him a white-eyed glance, and said disdainfully with a pout.

Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, narrowly avoiding a mishap, chuckled awkwardly, and stood up from the sofa, "Let's go, wife, it's late, let's go to bed."

However, before he could fully relax, Qin Ruojing suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Ge's phone, catching it firmly. She held up the phone to Chu Ge with a sly and triumphant smile on her face.

Qin Ruojing's expression at this moment seemed to say, "Gotcha, didn't I? You don't want me to see it, so I'll make sure to take a look. What exactly are you looking at?"

As Chu Ge's relief was only halfway express and Qin Ruojing snatched the phone from his hand, his scalp tingled and heart tightened. This is bad, Qin Ruojing really played him with a technique of strategic withdrawal and concealment!

In fact, even though Chu Ge indeed let his guard down, with his reflexes, if he didn't want Qin Ruojing to grab the phone, she definitely wouldn't have succeeded.

But the key is... if Chu Ge really acted like that, wouldn't it just prove his guilty conscience even more?

Facing Qin Ruojing's teasing gaze, Chu Ge smiled bitterly in his heart, it's indeed his fault. As the saying goes, he really shouldn't have stirred this trouble. If he had just taken a look to ensure those two women's safety and then went back to bed obediently, nothing would have happened.

Now, great, prepare to face a storm...

Qin Ruojing raised an eyebrow and moved her gaze from Chu Ge's face to the phone screen.

Chu Ge swallowed secretly, wondering whether Qin Ruojing would roar at him like a lion? Or question him coldly? Or... would she say nothing, throw the phone back to him, turn around and head back to the room, starting a cold war with him?

In any case, Chu Ge would have to endure it. If nothing unexpected happens tonight, he'd likely once again become a sofa dweller, spending the night there.

Perhaps that's the best-case scenario, getting kicked out is a very likely outcome...

"Huh?" Qin Ruojing glanced at Chu Ge's phone, her expression slightly stunned as her eyebrows knitted together.

Noticing the change in Qin Ruojing's expression, Chu Ge coughed twice, feeling even more guilty. This feeling was like the calm before the storm.
