Chapter 24 The Innocent Puppy "Baby, Baby"

My 21-year-old brother is like a wolf or a tiger; he's like a lion or a puppy, and he'll pounce on me and kiss me without saying a word.

His fingers dug into her hair, and Chen Zhui kissed her slowly and passionately. He pulled her hand to his chest, where the muscles were light and thin, a feel she liked.

Doing everything she wanted, Cheng Guo quickly became dizzy and confused. Retaining the last shred of her rationality, she made two requests: to close the door and to do it only this once today.

Although she knew that there were only the two of them in the whole house, the wide-open door made her shy and nervous. Shen Zhui readily agreed and also noticed this.

He carried her to close the door, and with each step Cheng Guo wanted to bite him. After closing it, she was pinned against the door.

Dr. Cheng cursed for the first time, but her tearful face had no deterrent effect, and she was kissed so hard she was breathless.

This was the first time she realized that the distance between a dog and a wolf was only one piece of clothing.

Having been restricted once, someone unexpectedly learned to control the situation. His young, energetic, and powerful body easily tossed her up, and Dr. Cheng cursed for the second time.

The person being scolded didn't care at all. His waist, drenched in sweat, was incredibly strong as he kissed her lips: "Stop scolding me, your voice is hoarse. Do you want me to carry you to get some water?"

“???”

"If you don't want to drink water, can you kiss me instead?" he asked immediately.

With the Adam's apple bobbing right in front of her, Cheng Guo angrily opened her mouth and held it in her mouth, her teeth pressing against it, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to bite it.

Even so, Shen Zhui still took a few deep breaths and pressed his body heavily against her.

Cheng Guo blinked unexpectedly, Chen Zhui's back trembled slightly, his forehead rested on her shoulder, his hot breath falling on her chest, his tone was more dejected than ever before, "I don't want to sleep."

"..."

So what do you want to do?

He still buried his face in her shoulder, kissing her shoulder, "Boss, I request to do it again, I will definitely try my best."

Still feeling the energy surging through her body, Cheng Guo breathed heavily, her body limp. She covered his groping lips with her palm, rested the back of her head against the door, and tilted her long, beautiful neck back. "The boss thinks you performed exceptionally well today, so keep it up from now on. Your task now is to put the boss down."

“The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie,” Shen Zhui dodged her hand and kissed her neck. “If I really did what you said, she would definitely get tired of me in a few days.”

"What lines are you reciting?" Cheng Guo laughed as she tugged at his ear, cupped his face, and kissed him. "Carry me to take a shower, or you can continue sleeping on the sofa. Sleep by yourself."

Shen Zhui dared not cause any more trouble.

Cheng Guo is on the day shift tomorrow, so she didn't dare to sleep much tonight and set an alarm for four hours later.

She opened her eyes when she vaguely heard the alarm clock. The door was closed, the curtains were drawn tightly, and there was only a very faint halo of light in the room.

After a moment of confusion, she turned around to reach for her phone on the bedside table, only to find an arm tightly wrapped around her waist and her chest feeling warm as if she were sweating. She reached up to pull at her clothes and touched a fluffy head.

Shen Zhui slept like a shrimp, his arm around her waist, his face buried in her chest.

Aren't you afraid of not being able to breathe?

Cheng Guo slowly pushed him away. As soon as she moved, Chen Zhui woke up, snuggled back against her, and asked in a lazy, low voice, "What time is it?"

Cheng Guo was a little distracted by his rubbing against her, but the alarm clock was still ringing, and she couldn't mess around anymore. She pushed Chen Zhui away again, turned around, and turned off her phone.

"It's 1:30, you can sleep a little longer."

Shen Zhui barely opened his eyes this time, his brows furrowed, clearly he hadn't slept enough. "You sleep a little longer, I'll go cook."

He got up immediately, got out of bed, put on his pants, grabbed a T-shirt, ran a hand through his hair, opened the door, and before leaving, he came back to kiss her, then kissed her again, closed the door, and went out.

Cheng Guo was extremely tired, so she lay down and slept for another half hour. When she went out, the kitchen range hood was still running. She brushed her teeth and leaned against the door.

The rice cooker was steaming, and two plates of stir-fried dishes were placed beside it. Chen Zhui, wearing an apron around his waist and holding a pair of chopsticks, stood in front of the stove making soup.

Shen Zhui is tall, and the range hood in this house is installed low, so he might bump his head if he's not careful.

Cheng Guo had actually seen this scene several times before, but perhaps because their relationship had changed substantially, Shen Zhui looked particularly pleasing to the eye at this moment.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a beautiful appearance, she's equally at home in the living room and the kitchen; it's as if she's struck gold.

Oh no, it was Bao who found her.

The phone screen was lit up on the stove. She thought it was a recipe, so she walked over and took a look, and was immediately surprised.

It was a memo, glanced at it—

Let's watch a movie together (√)

Let's watch the sunrise together (√)

Take couple photos together (√)

Let's get tattoos together (√)

Wearing matching outfits

Travel together

Let's raise a puppy together (√)

...

Before I could finish watching, a large hand reached out and the screen went black.

Shen Zhui glanced at the smile on her lips, tossed his phone into his pocket—a move that seemed a little clumsy to Cheng Guo. Cheng Guo leaned closer, startled when she saw his reddened ears, and suppressed a laugh as she asked, "What does the checkmark mean?"

Shen Zhui initially didn't want to answer, but she repeated it several times, mimicking his persistent manner, until he finally replied, seemingly impatient but actually with his neck turning red, "It means 'complete'."

"No way," he said, his expression amusing. Cheng Guo teased him, recalling the contents of the memo, "Where did we raise a puppy together? When did we get tattoos together?"

The soup was ready. Chen Zhui turned off the heat, bent down to take out a vessel to ladle the soup without looking at her, and said, "You got a puppy now, and I got a tattoo."

Where is my puppy? Is it my favorite—?

Cheng Guo leaned against the refrigerator door, watching him ask the question he already knew the answer to. Feeling that he had been bullied badly, he suddenly hugged her and kissed her hard, then kissed her again, and finally carried her out and put her on the dining chair, saying harshly, "With me here, you won't be raising any other puppies!"

After saying that, she obediently went to serve the food.

Cheng Guo raised an eyebrow and smiled, touching her face. Shen Zhui really liked this buy-one-get-one-free kiss. Thinking of his dating checklist, Cheng Guo wanted to laugh again.

How can there be such a sweet boy?

No, how can there be such a sweet puppy?

Cheng Guo calmly took out his phone, saved a few pictures, and showed them to Chen Zhui after the meal.

She slept little today and ate a delicious lunch. Feeling dizzy and not wanting to move, she snuggled up on the sofa with Shen Zhui to watch a movie. She handed him her phone, picked up the plush Samoyed, and gently pinched its soft ears.

Shen Zhui glanced over, flipped through her pictures, and asked, "Want a tattoo?"

"What do you think I should get tattooed? How about a horse?"

Shen Zhui frowned, and upon thinking of the intricate pattern, immediately refused: "No, it will hurt too much."

"That one character, 'horse'?"

Chen Zhui turned to look at her: "Why is it 'Ma' and not 'Zhui'? Not 'Chen'? Have you forgotten what your dog's last name is?"

"Oh, then I'll get a 'dog' tattoo."

Shen Zhui wanted to bite someone, but before he did, he took the annoying Samoyed doll from her hand and threw it aside. He then grabbed her hand and rubbed it on his head before tackling her down.

Cheng Guo stared blankly, then cupped his face as he tackled her, "Wait! I've thought of something perfect!"

"What?" Shen Zhui asked, leaning over her, his eyes filled with a threat that said, "This is your last chance, speak properly."

Thinking of the address she had heard that day, Cheng Guo smiled and said to Chen Zhui, word by word, "Baby, baby."

A few seconds of silence followed. Chen Zhui's pupils dilated, his ears turned red, and he said through gritted teeth, "Don't learn from my mother."

She added, "She doesn't call me that anymore."

Finally, seeing her laughing with trembling shoulders, he couldn't bear it any longer and leaned down to kiss her. He kissed her so much that he couldn't stop and had to stop because he felt uncomfortable. He pulled her hand to his chest and said, "Dr. Cheng, feel my heart and see if there's something wrong with it."

The pectoral muscles beneath his palm were supple and strong. Cheng Guo took advantage of the situation to touch them a few times, until the man's breathing became heavier, before asking him, "Where does it hurt?"

"It jumps very fast, especially as soon as it sees you."

"Poisoned."

"Then what should we do?"

Cheng Guo remained calm and composed: "Intimacy is needed to detoxify."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhui pounced on him. The two of them played around for a while, and Cheng Guo, exhausted but strong-willed, collapsed onto the carpet.

She was sweating profusely from all the activity, her face was pale pink, and she wondered if the person she was dating was not 21 years old, but 18.

Anyway, I'm at an age where I have inexhaustible energy.

At this moment, Chenzhui, brimming with boundless energy, kissed the crook of her neck and looked at her expectantly, "Is it really only once a day?"

Cheng Guo looked away: "...Really."

Chenzhui let out an "oh" and stayed there, no longer moving.

It was afternoon, cicadas were chirping outside the window, children were playing downstairs, the air conditioner was blowing air and the curtains by the window were billowing, revealing a little bit of the shadow of the trees outside the window, and the sunlight also took the opportunity to sneak in through the gaps, lazily lying on the floor, enjoying this leisurely afternoon with them.

Cheng Guo suddenly remembered the comments under Shen Zhui's selfie Weibo post in July, which were full of certainty that he was in a relationship. A month later, he really was in a relationship.

Perhaps one day, he will hold her and kiss her under the window screen.

A slight stinging pain in her shoulder pulled Cheng Guo back to reality. She frowned slightly, slapped away the fluffy head lying there, and saw a fresh hickey on her shoulder. Annoyed, she slapped his head again, "The mark on your waist hasn't faded yet?!"

"Really? Let me rub it for you."

Chen Zhui pretended to lift her clothes, and Cheng Guo laughed and kicked him, "Why are you like a different person before and after we started dating? Were you pretending to be innocent to fool me before?"

“You’re being good now,” Chen Zhui said, holding her feet tightly. “I didn’t do what you told me not to do. I just wanted to kiss you, hug you, rub you, and cling to you…”

"Dr. Cheng, can you take me to work tomorrow?"

Feeling dizzy from being showered with sweet words, Cheng Guo asked, "What?"

I don't want to be apart from you for even a second.

Cheng Guo smiled and thought to herself that she had saved money on bubble tea this month.

Taking Chen Zhui to work is impossible, but replying to his messages during breaks is feasible.

Shen Zhui sent messages with her work schedule in mind, and as soon as it was time to leave work, he sent her his location at the hospital entrance. Unfortunately, she had worked a time-consuming and laborious surgery with Director Li that afternoon, and it was already 9 p.m. when she left the hospital.

After returning home and having dinner, she leaned back on the sofa with her eyes closed, not wanting to move. Chen Zhui came over and pinched her legs, her arms, her shoulders, and her...

As the tone of his voice grew increasingly distorted, she opened her eyes and glared at him. Shen Zhui immediately lowered his head and stopped what he was doing, asking her, "Are you still going to read documents tonight?"

She shook her head; she was just too tired today.

Shen Zhui went into the room without saying anything, and came out a little while later. He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom, saying to himself, "Then let's take a shower and go to bed early."

Cheng Guo's eyes were fixed on the small, square bag in his palm. "What are you holding?"
