Touching the Belly

Most people would shy away from food that a stranger has eaten, finding it disgusting.

But if it's someone you like, seeing their saliva on the food won't make you feel disgusted. Instead, it's like the food has gained a positive buff, making it exceptionally enticing.

Jiang Qiuyi was probably in that kind of state right now.

Ever since Chen Wen agreed to date her, Jiang Qiuyi wished she could stay by his side every day, wanting to do more intimate things with him.

Wearing the ring he gave her, walking hand-in-hand with him, sitting on his lap, leaning in his embrace, changing into pretty clothes to show him, eating the same bowl of noodles with him...

In short, anything related to him could make Jiang Qiuyi happy.

"How's the new video? It's good, right?" Jiang Qiuyi had a look of seeking praise on her face.

Chen Wen didn't offer any supportive comments this time, only nodding and saying, "It's good."

"Hmph," Jiang Qiuyi wrinkled her delicate nose, clearly dissatisfied with Chen Wen's perfunctory answer. "How is it good?"

"..." Chen Wen was momentarily speechless.

"If you don't watch my videos seriously, you'll be punished!" Jiang Qiuyi said fiercely.

Chen Wen: "Tell me."

Compared to giving compliments, Chen Wen was more willing to accept punishment.

Jiang Qiuyi's eyes darted around, and she snatched the chopsticks from Chen Wen's hand, giggling, "I'll punish you by making you let me feed you noodles~"

Chen Wen's expression stiffened as he watched Jiang Qiuyi pick up a strand of noodles and bring it to his lips.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~" Jiang Qiuyi urged with great interest.

Faced with the noodles at his lips, Chen Wen had no choice but to open his mouth and accept them.

Fortunately, it was just the two of them here. Otherwise, Chen Wen felt he would have been so embarrassed he might have died.

After playing around for a bit, Jiang Qiuyi was satisfied.

After sharing the bowl of noodles, they snuggled on the sofa and started browsing their phones.

Jiang Qiuyi lay sprawled on the sofa, her head resting on Chen Wen's lap, holding her phone and scrolling through Bilibili.

"Your poll for the 10,000-follower milestone is quite active, huh?" Jiang Qiuyi wasn't looking at her own account but habitually clicked on the one person she had favorited.

The crafting section uploader "Ill-informed Wen" hadn't posted anything for three days, and the last update was the 10,000-follower milestone poll that Jiang Qiuyi had helped edit.

The total number of votes had already reached over 20,000, more than Chen Wen's follower count.

Among them, "Elucidator" was far ahead, with over 10,000 votes.

"Dark Repulser" and "Lambent Light" had over 5,000 and 4,000 votes respectively, a significant gap from "Elucidator."

Meanwhile, Chen Wen's video "Meal Card Ring Transformation" had surpassed 200,000 views, and his follower count was steadily climbing towards 20,000.

Compared to Chen Wen's current follower count, the performance of this video could be considered a minor hit.

However, compared to Jiang Qiuyi's videos, which garnered over 100,000 views within a few hours of release, it was like comparing a firefly to the moon.

"I'm so full, help me rub my belly~" Jiang Qiuyi said while scrolling through Chen Wen's comment section, pulling Chen Wen's left hand and placing it on her small belly.

As his hand rested on Jiang Qiuyi's soft stomach through her T-shirt, Chen Wen's large hand froze. He didn't know whether to move it or leave it there, feeling a bit stuck.

Jiang Qiuyi pursed her lips and chuckled, hiding her slightly flushed cheeks with her phone. She held Chen Wen's hand with her left and rubbed it back and forth on her stomach.

This made Chen Wen's hand even more sensitive. He could clearly feel the girl's soft, squishy belly, as bouncy as a water-filled balloon. Even through the fabric, he could sense its delicate smoothness.

It was a little addictive.

Chen Wen felt his current state was a bit dangerous, so he withdrew his hand and said, "If I don't have anything planned tonight, I'll continue working on Elucidator."

"What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable to touch?" Jiang Qiuyi moved her phone away, her innocent big eyes looking at Chen Wen curiously, then a shy expression appeared. "Or... should I put my hand inside your clothes?"

Chen Wen's eyelids twitched. He lifted Jiang Qiuyi's head from his lap, hurriedly got up from the sofa, and walked towards the crafting room.

"Haha~" Jiang Qiuyi laughed happily as she lay on the sofa. Watching Chen Wen's retreating back as he fled, she clenched her slender fist and said proudly, "Hmph! You're already mine, so don't even think about escaping~"

Entering the crafting room, Chen Wen calmed his mind and quickly got into his work.

He turned on the camera, secured the wood in the vise again, and began the tedious sanding work.

The update frequency for woodworking videos is very low, largely because they take too long to complete.

Coupled with the lack of good monetization, it takes ten to twenty days to finish one video, and one must rely on income from other jobs to support themselves.

Therefore, most crafting uploader are essentially creating content out of passion.

Of course, being an uploader on Bilibili, creating content out of passion is already the daily routine for the vast majority of people, and there's nothing to complain about.

Chen Wen wasn't purely doing it for money. He was only trying it out at Jiang Qiuyi's recommendation.

Besides, he usually made small trinkets himself, and filming them wasn't much effort. Being able to share his creations with others was enough to make him happy.

Given Chen Wen and Jiang Qiuyi's family backgrounds, they weren't in a position where they had to consider making money from videos.

Working meticulously to polish the sword blade, Chen Wen took a break every half hour to avoid overexerting his arm and causing injury.

Jiang Qiuyi came in once midway, refilled Chen Wen's water cup, and then obediently left, not disturbing him at that time.

Back in her room, Jiang Qiuyi hummed a little tune. After showering, she lay on the bed, hugging her pillow and reminiscing about the past few days with Chen Wen. Occasionally, she'd shyly bury her face in the pillow and roll around on the bed.

After a long while, she took out her phone and browsed Bilibili for a bit, then checked WeChat.

Suddenly, someone in a Bilibili creator's group chat sent an "@everyone" message. Jiang Qiuyi curiously clicked on it and found that the million-follower gaming creator "Si Jiao Ji" was speaking.

Si Jiao Ji: @everyone, (image) Does anyone here know this creator? Hurry up and save me! If I don't find him soon, I'm going to die!

Jiang Qiuyi clicked on the image and saw it was a screenshot of a post from Chen Wen's Bilibili account, "Ill-informed Wen."

Dao Dao Zi: That's from the crafting section. I think I saw his video a couple of days ago.

Li Yuan Jiang: He's a new creator, only has three videos. What do you need him for?

Si Jiao Ji: Look at his third video, the one about the Meal Card Ring Transformation. My sister has been messing with this thing for the past couple of days and has failed several times. She's been pestering me to help her with it.

Dao Dao Zi: Why don't you just send him a private message? New creators are usually quite enthusiastic, right?

Si Jiao Ji: I already did! He hasn't replied all day. My sister is driving me crazy, damn it! This girl should just get married already.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiuyi's eyes flickered, and she started typing.
