My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 86: What? You Don’t Know My Figure?

Every time she thinks of sleep now, Lu Youxi feels embarrassed.

"I won’t sleep," Lu Youxi said in a low, coarse voice, startling herself with its roughness. She cleared her throat before speaking again in her normal voice, "I slept enough in the car just now."

Zhou Shuyan nodded and took a box out of the small package Grandma Xu had given him.

"This is your gift for passing your exams," Zhou Shuyan said as he handed the box to Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi had not expected Zhou Shuyan to prepare a gift for her and looked down, visibly shocked.

It was a smartphone!

"This is too valuable!" Lu Youxi didn’t reach out to take it, afraid to accept.

"It’s not expensive. I looked into it and bought a model with a high cost-performance ratio. It has basically everything a smartphone needs, and it’s also cheap," Zhou Shuyan explained, knowing Lu Youxi’s nature and thus not buying something too pricey.

The functionality is actually the same, with probable differences in camera pixels, quality, and some performance factors.

After some use, the phone might become slower.

However, this phone was meant to be a transitional device for Lu Youxi.

Zhou Shuyan had an unfounded belief that with Lu Youxi’s capabilities, she wouldn’t have to wait for the phone to slow down before she could afford a new and better one.

"Nowadays, even the simplest phones cost over a thousand," Lu Youxi shook her head vehemently.

Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "But you can’t be without a phone, can you? Otherwise, how would I contact you?"

Lu Youxi: "..."

In fact, she did need a phone because she wanted to invest in the stock market.

She had planned to open an account even without a phone.

It would just be more trouble, as she would have to go to the location to trade.

With a phone, she could operate online directly from the device, which would be more convenient.

She thought about earning some money first and then buying a phone.

But indeed, it was more convenient to have a phone.

"If you really feel that much pressure, consider this phone a loan from me," Zhou Shuyan said. "You can return it to me after you’ve bought a new one."

"How can that be?" Lu Youxi said. "Once I earn some money, I’ll pay you for the phone."

Zhou Shuyan chuckled. If this made Lu Youxi accept the phone without feeling guilty, he didn’t mind, "Alright then."

Lu Youxi exhaled in relief and took the smartphone, "Thank you."

Lu Youxi had felt all along that Zhou Shuyan had an extraordinary presence and was not just anybody.

Now it was even more apparent.

Zhou Shuyan had managed to stay inconspicuous in the village all this time.

No one knew he owned a smartphone.

It wasn’t until Lu Zhenjia had gone to see Foolish Hu that Lu Youxi saw Zhou Shuyan use a smartphone for the first time, and it was the latest model.

Lu Youxi remembered that the latest models of smartphones, though not as expensive as before her death in her previous life, still cost around six to seven thousand yuan.

For many people at that time, that was still a very expensive price.

And then, on the day before their departure from Hexing Village, Zhou Shuyan suddenly brought out a sum of money to give to both her and Grandma Xu.

That money wasn’t something Zhou Shuyan could have saved up just by doing odd jobs in Xing Village in such a short time.

It was obvious that if he had wanted money, he could have had it any time; he just never talked about it or spent it.

He only lived on whatever he earned while helping Grandma Xu.

Grandma Xu must have guessed the truth when she received the money, but she didn’t speak of it.

Just like now, Zhou Shuyan suddenly produced a phone out of nowhere, and Lu Youxi had no idea when he had bought it.

Even though he claimed it was cheap, it obviously wasn’t something he could afford with his earnings from the village.

Yet Zhou Shuyan could give it away without even blinking.

While unwrapping the phone, these thoughts ran through Lu Youxi’s mind.

But even so, she didn’t plan to ask Zhou Shuyan what he actually did for a living.

After taking the phone out, Lu Youxi realized she hadn’t bought a SIM card yet.

Just as the thought crossed her mind, she saw Zhou Shuyan’s palm open in front of her, holding a small SIM card.

"Considering you’ll spend most of your time in the Imperial Capital, I got you a SIM card from there," Zhou Shuyan explained.

"Are you Doraemon?" Lu Youxi blurted out in surprise, wondering how everything she thought of, he seemed to have ready!

Zhou Shuyan twitched his mouth thinking about the blue, chubby character, "You know what my figure is like, don’t you?"

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

What is this guy saying!

However, driven by Zhou Shuyan’s remark, Lu Youxi involuntarily pictured Zhou Shuyan chopping wood shirtless.

That was the time she had the clearest view of Zhou Shuyan’s physique.

And the shock she felt when she first saw him at the door was still vivid in her memory, allowing that clear image to emerge in her mind.

She remembered the sweat trickling slowly down his back, the way it glistened in the sunlight.

She remembered, too, before she warned him, he didn’t put his shirt on, affording her a closer look at the muscles on his body.

His physique...

Ahem, she really did know.

"I don’t know!" Lu Youxi scolded herself for being weak; she was supposed to have seen more of the world than he had.

She was 31 years older than him!

Even without counting her current 18 years, she was still 13 years his senior!

In the eyes of her former 38-year-old self, Zhou Shuyan was just a kid with his first whiskers.

And yet, time and again, she was made to blush and her heart raced because of Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi refused to admit defeat. Steeling herself, she glanced at him sideways with feigned ferocity, "I’ve only seen you without a shirt. I don’t really know what your body looks like in detail."

Zhou Shuyan paused, then laughed lightly, "If you want to see, it’s not out of the question."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Forget it, she can’t win.

She didn’t think it was her experience that fell short, it was just that she didn’t have Zhou Shuyan’s thick skin.

Unable to handle Zhou Shuyan’s shameless remarks, Lu Youxi looked for something else to do.

Her hands slightly trembling, she reached for the SIM card in Zhou Shuyan’s outstretched palm.

The SIM card was so thin and small that her fingertips had to brush against Zhou Shuyan’s palm to pick it up.

There was no avoiding it.

Lu Youxi braced herself, thinking that if she moved quickly enough, it wouldn’t be an issue.

But the more nervous she was, the clumsier she became.

Far from being swift, she couldn’t manage to pick it up on her first try.

Her anxious fingertips trembled, and before they even touched Zhou Shuyan’s palm, she could feel the warmth emanating from it.

Lu Youxi’s mouth dry from nerves, she swallowed hard, took a covert deep breath, and her fingertips quivered as they lightly grazed Zhou Shuyan’s palm, quickly sliding over to pinch the thin, tiny SIM card.
