Touching Her Belly

When it came to food that strangers had eaten, most people tended to avoid it, finding it disgusting.

But if it was someone they liked, seeing the other person's saliva on the food would not only fail to disgust them—it would make the food seem as though it had received a positive buff, becoming especially tempting.

Jiang Qiuyi was probably in exactly that state right now.

Ever since Chen Wen had agreed to date her, Jiang Qiuyi had wanted to stay by his side every day and do even more intimate things with him.

Wear the ring he gave her, hold hands with him while strolling down the street, sit on his lap, lean into his arms, put on pretty clothes for him to see, eat from the same bowl of noodles as him...

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

"How was my new video? Pretty good, right?" Jiang Qiuyi wore an expression that clearly begged for praise.

With no comments to refer to this time, Chen Wen could only nod and say, "It looked good."

"Hmph." Jiang Qiuyi scrunched her delicate nose, clearly dissatisfied with Chen Wen's perfunctory answer. "What was good about it?"

"..."

Chen Wen was left speechless.

"You didn't watch my video properly, so you have to be punished!" Jiang Qiuyi said fiercely.

Chen Wen said, "Go ahead."

Compared with saying flattering things, Chen Wen was actually more willing to accept punishment.

Jiang Qiuyi's eyes rolled, and she snatched the chopsticks from Chen Wen's hand with a giggle. "Your punishment is that you have to let me feed you noodles~"

Chen Wen's expression stiffened as he watched Jiang Qiuyi pick up some noodles and bring them to his mouth.

"Come on, open up. Ah~" Jiang Qiuyi urged enthusiastically.

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 would probably have died of embarrassment.

After teasing him for a while, Jiang Qiuyi was thoroughly satisfied.

Once they had shared the bowl of noodles, they curled up on the sofa and started browsing their phones.

Jiang Qiuyi lay sideways across the sofa with her head resting on Chen Wen's lap, scrolling through Bilibili on her phone.

"The poll for your ten-thousand-follower reward is getting a lot of activity from your fans." Rather than checking her own account, Jiang Qiuyi habitually opened the only account she had specially followed.

The handmade-content creator, "Ill-informed Wen," had last posted an update three days ago—the poll for the ten-thousand-follower reward that Jiang Qiuyi had helped edit.

The total number of votes had already surpassed twenty thousand, even exceeding Chen Wen's follower count.

Among them, the Interpreter was far ahead, taking more than ten thousand votes.

Dark Repulser and Lambent Light had over five thousand and over four thousand votes respectively, clearly lagging behind the Interpreter.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen's "Meal Card Ring Transformation" video had already surpassed two hundred thousand views, and his follower count was steadily climbing toward twenty thousand.

Compared to Chen Wen's current follower count, this video's performance could already be considered a modest hit.

But compared to Jiang Qiuyi's video, which had received over a hundred thousand views just hours after release, it was nothing worth mentioning.

"I'm so full. Help me rub my belly~" Jiang Qiuyi said as she browsed Chen Wen's comment section, grabbing his left hand and placing it on her lower belly.

Feeling Jiang Qiuyi's soft stomach through her T-shirt, Chen Wen's large hand froze. Taking it away felt wrong, but leaving it there felt wrong too. He was caught in a dilemma.

Jiang Qiuyi pressed her lips together to hide a laugh, using her phone to cover her faintly flushed cheeks. Her left hand held Chen Wen's palm and guided it back and forth across her stomach.

Now Chen Wen's hand became even more sensitive. He could clearly feel the girl's soft little belly, springy like a water-filled balloon. Even through her clothes, he could sense its delicate smoothness.

It was a little addictive.

Chen Wen felt that his current state was somewhat dangerous, so he pulled his hand back and said, "If there's nothing else tonight, I'll go keep working on the Interpreter."

"What's wrong? Doesn't it feel nice?" Jiang Qiuyi lowered her phone and looked at Chen Wen with innocent, curious eyes. Then she put on a shy expression. "Then how about... putting your hand inside my shirt?"

Chen Wen's eyelid twitched. He lifted Jiang Qiuyi's head off his lap, hurriedly got up from the sofa, and headed for the craft room.

"Haha~" Jiang Qiuyi laughed happily from the sofa as she watched Chen Wen flee in disarray. Clenching her slender hand into a fist, she said haughtily, "Hmph! You're already mine, so don't even think about running away~"

Once inside the craft room, Chen Wen calmed himself and quickly got into the zone.

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

Woodworking videos had a very low update frequency, largely because they took too long to make.

On top of that, they did not monetize especially well. A single video could take ten or twenty days to complete, so creators had to rely on income from other jobs to support themselves.

That was why most handmade-content creators were essentially creating for the love of it.

Of course, on Bilibili, creating for the love of it was already the daily reality for the vast majority of creators, so there was nothing much to complain about.

Chen Wen was not doing it purely to make money either. He was only giving it a try because Jiang Qiuyi had recommended it.

He made little things in his spare time anyway, and filming them did not take much extra effort. Being able to share his work with others was already more than enough to make him happy.

Given Chen Wen and Jiang Qiuyi's family circumstances, they were not at the point where they needed to consider making money from videos.

Chen Wen steadily sanded the sword blade bit by bit, taking a break every half hour to prevent his arms from being injured through overexertion.

Jiang Qiuyi came in once during that time, filled Chen Wen's cup with water, then obediently left without disturbing him while he worked.

Back in her own room, Jiang Qiuyi hummed a little tune. After showering, she lay on her bed hugging a pillow, savoring every little moment she had spent with Chen Wen these past few days. Every now and then, she shyly buried her face in the pillow and rolled around on the bed.

Only after a long while did she take out her phone, browse Bilibili for a bit, and check WeChat.

Then, someone suddenly tagged everyone in a Bilibili creator group chat. Curious, Jiang Qiuyi tapped into it and discovered that Si Jiao Ji, a gaming-content creator with a million followers, was speaking.

Si Jiao Ji: @Everyone, (image) Does any of you know this creator? Somebody please come save me! If I don't find him soon, I'm going to die!

Jiang Qiuyi opened the image and found that it was actually a screenshot of a post from Chen Wen's Bilibili account, "Ill-informed Wen."

Dao Dao Zi: He's from the handmade section. I think I came across one of his videos a couple of days ago.

Li Yuan Jiang: He's a new creator, right? Only three videos. Why are you looking for him?

Si Jiao Ji: Look at his third video, the Meal Card Ring Transformation one. My little sister has been messing around with that thing these past two days. She's failed several times and keeps pestering me to help her make it.

Dao Dao Zi: Why not just send him a private message? New creators are usually pretty helpful, aren't they?

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

Seeing this, Jiang Qiuyi's eyes shifted as she began to type.
