Chapter 175 Have you played with others?
In the end, Cen Xihuai paid for the meal.
After all, he also knew Cen Du's monthly salary. When he ordered the dishes, he ordered the expensive ones first, hoping that Cen Du would remember that making money is not easy.
On the way back to the hotel, Xu Qingwu suddenly said, "I'm not going back now."
Cen Xihuai slowed down the car: "Where are you going?"
"Bar." Xu Qingwu uttered the two words slowly.
Cen Xihuai frowned slightly and stopped the car on the side of the road: "Why do we have to go to the bar?"
"Can't you go?"
"…able."
"Then let me tell you, the night we came to Hangzhou, Yang Yu and I went to the bar, right when I was video chatting with you."
Cen Xihuai was silent.
"Why aren't you talking?" Xu Qingwu looked him in the eyes and said, "Because you already knew. Cen Du told you, right? That's why you video-called me and lied to me that you couldn't find fish oil."
"I admit that I made a mistake by not telling you I was going to the bar, but Cen Xihuai, if you have any complaints about me, I hope you can tell me directly. Many times I can't guess what you're thinking. I'm a bit stupid."
Having said that, Cen Xihuai also said frankly: "I'm sorry Qingwu, I was actually jealous that day."
"Jealous?"
Xu Qingwu was dumbfounded. She went to the bar to drink some sparkling water and play a few games. Why was he jealous?
Cen Xihuai showed Xu Qingwu the video that Cen Du sent him.
Xu Qingwu was speechless for a moment. Cen Du came to help her that day, which meant he must have seen the whole process. However, he only sent the first half to Cen Xihuai, but did not send the part where she rejected that man.
Xu Qingwu explained the whole story: "I rejected this man and was scolded by him. Cen Du came to help me. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
Cen Xihuai grasped the key point and said in a cold voice: "Did this man scold you?"
"He cursed a few times, got beaten up by Cen Du, and then left in disgrace."
"Cen Du is somewhat useful, but he deliberately tried to sow discord between us. It seems he is too idle."
Hearing what he meant, Cen Du was in trouble again.
Even though she was tricked by Cen Du, she still owed him a favor. Xu Qingwu still spoke up for him: "Don't be too strict with him. He helped me after all."
Since his wife had spoken, Cen Xihuai had no choice but to agree.
After returning to the hotel, Cen Xihuai sent a message to Cen Du, asking him to send the complete video so that his merits and demerits would be offset.
When Xu Qingwu came out of the shower, Cen Xihuai was still watching the video.
"Sorry, I'm married and have a husband."
The progress bar loops through this sentence repeatedly.
Very pleasant to the ear.
It feels better than any music.
If he wasn't afraid that Xu Qingwu would disagree, he would even want to set it as an alarm and listen to it every day.
Seeing him still holding his phone to watch the video, Xu Qingwu was speechless and reminded him: "Cen Xihuai, aren't you going to take a shower?"
"Right away."
Cen Xihuai collected the video and saved it locally, then backed it up again in the cloud to make sure there was no risk before going to the bathroom.
Xu Qingwu took a blanket to cover her legs, propped up her waist with a pillow, and curled up on the sofa to play with her cell phone.
Yang Yu’s message suddenly popped up, it was an invitation.
"Qingwu Qingwu, my boyfriend is coming over to hang out with me tomorrow. How about a double date with the four of us?"
What a new word! Xu Qingwu has never seen it before.
So she typed back: "What is Double Date?"
Yang Yu sent a shocked cat emoji: "Qingwu, why are you so old-fashioned? Double Date means two couples go out together. Didn't you ever go out with your bestie when you were dating in college?"
She rarely saw anyone during that relationship, and it was almost the same as not being in a relationship at all. Coupled with what happened afterwards, it really wasn't a good memory.
Seeing that Xu Qingwu didn't reply for a long time, Yang Yu thought she was angry and quickly sent several voice messages.
"I was wrong, Qingwu. I shouldn't have called you old-fashioned."
"Good Qingwu, let's play together!"
"Qingwu, Qingwu, please!"
Xu Qingwu didn't mind, but she wasn't sure whether Cen Xihuai could accept it. She replied to Yang Yu that she wanted to ask Cen Xihuai's opinion first. Yang Yu said to wait for her news.
So, as soon as Cen Xihuai came out of the shower, Xu Qingwu asked him, "Cen Xihuai, do you want a double date?"
Cen Xihuai paused as he walked over, his face full of confusion: "What is Double Date?"
Xu Qingwu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
See, she is not the last person to know, Cen Xihuai doesn’t know either!
So, Xu Qingwu learned on the spot: "Cen Xihuai, why are you so old-fashioned? Double Date is for two couples to play together. Haven't you played it with your brothers before?"
Cen Xihuai sat down on the other side of the sofa, lifted her up onto his lap along with the blanket, and looked directly into her eyes: "Qingwu, I've told you before, I've never been in a relationship before I met you."
So you want to talk now?
I almost blurted it out.
Xu Qingwu swallowed the words and said, "I forgot. Sorry."
Cen Xihuai stared into her eyes: "What about you? Have you ever played with others?"
"No." Xu Qingwu answered honestly.
Cen Xihuai chuckled: "The lady is also quite old-fashioned, we are a good match."
He leaned against her shoulder, and when he laughed, his breath tickled her earlobe. Xu Qingwu twisted her body uncomfortably: "I'm not old-fashioned, what do I deserve?"
Cen Xihuai placed a kiss on her forehead, his voice gentle but firm: "Cen Xihuai and Xu Qingwu are a good match."
Xu Qingwu's heartbeat quickened because of his words, and she couldn't help but ask him, "How well do they match?"
Cen Xihuai spoke word by word, "A match made in heaven."
Xu Qingwu didn't want to admit that just these four words had made her so infatuated with Cen Xihuai that her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her throat.
There was no sound of TV or projector, and the space between the two of them was exceptionally quiet. Being looked at like this by Cen Xihuai, Xu Qingwu felt her heart beating faster and faster.
Afraid that someone would hear her clues, she thought about getting off Cen Xihuai's legs first.
Before she could do anything, he grabbed her waist and hugged her back. He said in a deep voice, "It's been three days. It should be healed."
Xu Qingwu blinked: "Good what?"
"What do you think?" He put his hand under her clothes and stroked her waist from time to time.
The implication is obvious.
Just as he was about to move his hand upwards, Xu Qingwu grabbed his hand through his clothes and said, "But I don't want to now."
She still remembered how he rejected her before.
"Clear mist..."
Xu Qingwu shook his head.
"Wife..."
Xu Qingwu continued to shake his head.
"Baby…"
Xu Qingwu shook his head firmly: "It's no use shouting."
Cen Xihuai: "..."
Xu Qingwu took his hand away, jumped off his legs, looked at his vibrant spot, and smiled kindly: "Solve it yourself, husband, you can also use your hands."
Cen Xihuai gave her a resentful look, got up from the sofa helplessly, and walked to the bathroom.
He didn't turn on the shower or even close the door.
The heavy, low panting sound drifted into Xu Qingwu's ears, and her face turned completely red.
This person did it on purpose!
Xu Qingwu really couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran to the bed and hid under the quilt to block out the obscene sounds.
It was a long time before Cen Xihuai went into bed feeling cold.
"Did you take a cold shower?" Xu Qingwu's eyes sparkled outside the quilt.
If he didn't take a cold shower in that situation, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Cen Xihuai nodded and asked her if she wanted to turn off the lights.
"No."
"Can you sleep without it?"
"Who said we should go to bed?" Xu Qingwu reached out and rubbed his still cold abdominal muscles, a sly smile on her lips, "Honey, should we try turning on the lights?"
