一夜情

A jade hairpin lay there. It’s clear and smooth texture told her that it was something extremely valuable.

“Do you like it?” Xie Heng asked.

Zhao Chuchu nodded. “I do! Can you help me put it on?

Xie Heng smiled. He picked up the hairpin and tied Zhao Chuchu’s hair with it.

Just as he had thought, the hairpin suited her very well.

“Does it look good?”

“It does.”

Xie Heng then pulled Zhao Chuchu to the bronze mirror.

The jade hairpin now bundled up a part of her hair, giving her another vibe than her usual self.

Xie Heng had an excellent eye for spotting the best accessories.

Zhao Chuchu loved the present a lot.

However, she did not prepare any gifts in return. The jades that she had collected were sold to get more resources. There was not a decent gift that she could take out for the man right away.

Just as she was worried about that, an idea suddenly came to her mind. She didn’t have any jades with her, but she had a lot of electronics.

Even if there were limited options to recharge the power, she still had a lot of batteries that could be recharged with solar power.

She quickly took out a tablet with a lot of information stored on it from the space and gave it to Xie Heng.

“This is what we used to store information from where I came from. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and is easy to carry around. It’s also a good thing to pass the time with.”

Zhao Chuc.hu then booted up the tablet and taught Xie Heng how to use it.

It was Xie Heng’s first time interacting with an advanced technological product. So naturally, he was extremely curious about it. He also learned that the text Zhao Chuchu used in the future world was almost identical to the one he used, with a couple of tweaks that made it easier to read and write.

“Oh, right! You can type in the text that you used here. Just change this from

Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese.”

“How do I write on this?”

“Here, do you see this keyboard layout? See these strokes? Just tap on the strokes as if you were writing them. There’s also an option for you to write, but I think that’s slower.”

Xie Heng watched how Zhao Chuchu wrote on the tablet and was once again amazed at how amazing the world she came from was.

He liked the unique gift a lot.

After Zhao Chuchu had taught him for a while, he had mastered how to use the tablet and started to discover all its other functions.

“Is this how you do it? Is this a compass? Wait, is this the time?”

“Yes, that’s the compass. We tell the time differently than you do. Your day is split into 12 hours, but we have 24. So, here, your one hour is two for us.”

Zhao Chuchu then taught Xie Heng the Arabic numerals and how to understand the clock.

Xie Heng was smart enough to understand them right away.

After that, he stopped asking questions and started to fiddle with the tablet.

Zhao Chuchu looked at how excited Xie Heng was and chuckled.

She didn’t interrupt him after that, as she understood that men loved electronics as much as they loved robots.

When Xie Heng finally moved his eyes away from the tablet, Zhao Chuchu had already fallen asleep.

He slowly put the tablet down and walked over to kiss her on the forehead.

She opened her eyes a little, smiled, and fell back to sleep.

“Thank you,” the man whispered.

That was the best gift that he had ever received, and he liked it a lot.

He did not continue to play with the tablet and lay down next to Zhao Chuchu. Finally satisfied, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, Zhao Chuchu was woken up by the sound of crackers.

Xie Heng had already woken up. Judging by how warm his side was still, she could tell that he had woken up just a short while ago.

He had put the tablet on top of his pillow, showing how much he treasured it.

Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but chuckle again.

Unfortunately, she had no protective case in her space, so she couldn’t give one to him.

Just as she was lost in her own thoughts, Xie Heng came into the room.

“I was about to wake you up to set some crackers off. Come on, get out of bed if you’re awake.” Xie Heng grabbed Zhao Chuchu’s clothes and walked over. “Do you want me to help you put them on?

“I can do it myself.” Zhao Chuchu shook her head. She didn’t want that to turn into something steamy and ruin the New Year’s atmosphere.

Xie Heng was a little disappointed, but he did not linger inside the room. “Then, I’ll go set some more crackers off. Don’t stay in bed too long.”
