Chapter 80 "Don't try to cheer me up with this..."

That morning, Ye Peixiu came to pick up Xia Qingwan to go out for lunch, saying that he would bring her back before dinner.

Xia Qingwan got on the bus carrying a big schoolbag.

Thinking she had brought a change of clothes, Ye Peixiu said while turning the steering wheel, "You don't need to bring anything, everything is prepared there."

Today I took her to a private hot spring resort; he had already sent her her underwear and swimsuit in advance.

But she shook her head and took out her laptop and some books.

Ye Peixiu glanced at it briefly and chuckled, "All told, we only have about five hours together. What's the meaning of you bringing so many books?"

"As soon as the holiday ends, I have to fly to the United States with Professor Zhao immediately, so I can't not make preparations."

"You are really busy."

Ye Peixiu casually uttered this sentence.

Xia Qingwan read through a thick stack of English documents for a while. As she turned the corner, the midday sun shone directly in front of her, and she subconsciously squinted. At that moment, she felt Ye Peixiu reach out from the driver's seat and help her lower the sun visor.

The scene in front of her suddenly became dark, and after her eyes adjusted, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

He has a handsome face and is calm and composed.

No abnormality is seen.

Xia Qingwan peeked out slightly and tentatively said, "...Thank you."

"You're welcome."

These three words are still neither salty nor bland.

Are you angry?

Ye Peixiu smiled, "Go read your book."

"I don't want to watch it anymore."

She immediately closed the book, put it in the drawer, and made it seem like she was giving up on reading altogether, saying, "I won't read it anymore."

I casually turned on some music. "Let's listen to some music."

The melody is soft and gentle, graceful and affectionate, it is Jacky Cheung.

"Do you still listen to such old songs?"

A sudden sentence.

"Ye Peixiu," Xia Qingwan said, feigning anger, "Are you going to keep using such formal language with me? Be careful, or I'll teach you a lesson."

"Oh, you were so polite and well-mannered last night, but now that we're alone, you're going to act all over me?"

"Anyway, be careful."

"What's your secret?" Ye Peixiu glanced at her. "...Miss Xia, are there any other tricks I don't know?"

Xia Qingwan leaned hard against the passenger window, her face slightly flushed, and continued to threaten fiercely, "...I've been studying, and I have a lot of new tricks."

"Then you have to beat me thoroughly, otherwise, you better be careful, you fake trick."

"You're the one who's just pretending."

Ye Peixiu tilted his head to look at her and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of, you fake trick?" Then he stretched out his arm to grab her and said, "Come back, you'll fall down soon."

She simply confiscated his tools, grabbed his hands with both hands, and pressed them on the armrest.

It was meant to be a countermeasure, with my hands held like that, but I couldn't help but play with it.

She gently stroked the scar on the edge of his palm with her fingertips, and intertwined her fingers with his, stroking it gently.

Warm and dry.

Reluctant to leave.

At the traffic light ahead, he put his arm on the passenger seat and leaned over, "Give me a kiss."

Xia Qingwan pressed her back against the chair back, looking at his face so close to hers, and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of being photographed?"

"Let's see who's the fake one?"

He spoke in a low voice and the distance was too close, so his breath brushed against each other's faces, like flirting.

In the end, there wasn't enough time and the kiss wasn't enough.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the club's parking lot. Ye Peixiu wanted to park the car and give her a good kiss first, but unfortunately, someone under his command had instructed in advance that the club's director and a subordinate were already waiting there.

Really.

At this point, it seems as if he's incredibly lustful.

Xia Qingwan couldn't help but secretly laugh at him.

Upon arriving at the lobby, a waiter took her bag and brought it to her room ahead of time. She complained that she was hungry and wanted to eat first.

While eating, her eyes flickered, clearly harboring a bad intention.

She knew that he wanted to kiss her, but she also knew that he was concerned about her dignity and didn't want to kiss her too much in public, so she ate slowly on purpose.

Finally, after finishing her meal, she walked towards the room. When she swiped the room card to open the door, she turned her head and met Ye Peixiu's eyes. She felt that there was a dark look in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat her. Xia Qingwan thought to herself, this is not good. This is the first time she has played this kind of game, and it seems that she has gone too far.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she ran inside with all her might, but after a couple of wobbles, she was already in mid-air.

Ye Peixiu grabbed her waist from behind, picked her up, and put her on the corner cabinet in the entrance hall.

She subconsciously leaned back and forced a sweet smile, "...I was just kidding."

"Is it fun?"

Ye Peixiu held the board behind her head with one hand to protect it, while lowering his head and moving closer.

Their breaths collided, and she held her breath and shook her head.

Kiss me.

As soon as she uttered the two low words, she turned her face up and kissed him obediently.

Ye Peixiu smiled, "You really know the current situation."

She sat up straight, tilted her head back, and leaned close to his nose, whispering, "...I want to kiss you too."

Her voice is soft and sweet, and her tone is childish and sincere, which can really melt people's hearts.

She really wanted to continue her coaxing posture, holding his face with both hands and kissing him.

Licking, sucking, and licking, Ye Peixiu opened her lips slightly to cooperate, and her breathing gradually became rapid. It had been several days since they had kissed so carefully. They both missed each other very much. As they kissed, she couldn't help but murmur softly, "I like it..."

His breath, his body temperature, his broad shoulders, everything about him made her addicted.

Once in bed, he slipped under the covers, buried his face in them, and peeled them open, devouring them inch by inch.

When this is put in instead, it wraps tightly and entwines, and is as sweet as thick honey.

During the break, Xia Qingwan leaned against him, vaguely thinking in her heart that she would never again feel that doing this after dinner was tacky.

The longing intensifies with each passing moment, leaving no room for the refined pleasures of brewing tea and appreciating flowers.

The red waves of the mandarin duck brocade quilt could truly ignite the chill of winter.

Good times should not be wasted.

Ye Peixiu's back injury hadn't fully healed, so he couldn't soak in the water. Xia Qingwan changed into her swimsuit and leisurely played in the indoor private hot spring a few times.

A whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows faces the hillside of the dense forest outside Beijing. Looking out, you can see the cold forest covered with snow.

Ye Peixiu was wearing a bathrobe and sitting in a chair beside the hot spring pool, reading a book.

Took it out of her bag.

She lay down by the pool and talked to him.

The ends of her hair were wet and draped over her shoulders. She looked at him with a pair of gentle and clear eyes. "What are you looking at?"

"Look at what secret book you're studying in the car."

She was reading an English article in the car, and he was holding an ancient book of Qing Dynasty scholar commentary. She didn't correct him, but just asked, "...Are you still angry?"

"No."

"real?"

"Fake."

"Look at you."

Ye Peixiu smiled and said, "Come here."

She walked up the stairs, all wet, and sat sideways on his lap.

"You're really not angry anymore?"

"Can I really be angry with you?"

Ye Peixiu pinched her cheek and smiled, "I know you're busy. It's your first time accompanying your mentor on a lecture tour abroad, so you're probably nervous, right? That's why you keep trying to prepare thoroughly, reading books over and over again, isn't it?"

Xia Qingwan nodded. He was right. She felt a little aggrieved.

"Keep a calm mind. There will be many more things like this in the future. You can't expect yourself to be perfect. Don't be careless with small things, and don't panic with big things. That's enough."

She nodded seriously, "I remember it."

Ye Peixiu smiled, feeling that her serious and focused study was both admirable and heartbreaking.

Xia Qingwan leaned over and kissed him.

When the kiss became lingering, she said softly, "Hey, there's something I haven't told you."

As soon as he finished speaking, during that brief pause, a series of terrible thoughts flashed through Ye Peixiu's mind.

Had you been seriously injured without him knowing? Had you ever been in a dangerous situation? Or had you fallen in love with someone else during the years you were apart?

"...When I first met you, I was in Beiguanfang Hutong. I almost bumped into you because I was looking back at a man."

Ye Peixiu calmed himself down.

No matter who it is, times have changed, and it certainly won't matter anymore.

Was there really a man she was interested in present that night?

Who is it?

A hint of a meaningful smile flickered in Xia Qingwan's eyes. He gradually understood, and his tense body slowly relaxed. He leaned back, supporting his forehead with his hands, shook his head, and said with a smile, "...Is this true?"

"Who else can I look at besides you?"

She spoke softly and gently pushed his shoulder with her hand.

Ye Peixiu lifted his eyelashes, still looking somewhat disbelieving, and said with a slight smile, "Don't try to make me happy with this."

"Don't you know you're very good-looking?"

"That's what you think?"

He stared at her intently.

"Yes, I thought at the time that this kind of appearance and demeanor must be the Mr. Ye those young ladies were talking about just now." Xia Qingwan whispered to him, "...I finished my business and thought I might not go there again, so I couldn't help but want to take another look."

As she spoke, she supported herself on his chest and straightened up slightly. "Who knew that I would run into you when I turned around? I was scared to death."

"And then, not long after, you actually showed up at my house."

She spoke softly and gently, with great emotion, "...I only realized after getting to know him that, wow, this Mr. Ye is so unceremonious. He accused me of taking advantage of him right after we met. He's eight years older than me, how could he be so shameless? I thought to myself, he's a bad person."

These words made Ye Peixiu raise his hands to cover his eyes and laugh continuously.

"In front of others, you said you were good enough to be my uncle, but the next day when you took me out to dinner, you said you didn't like being an elder. I thought to myself, this Mr. Ye is so unpredictable and difficult to please."

Ye Peixiu chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Are you trying to insult me ​​in circles?"

"Is there never a time when you think I'm good?"

“Yes,” Xia Qingwan said, “You accompanied me as we walked in the spring rain under an umbrella. Even if it was just out of consideration and courtesy, it was already quite rare. But you were actually able to truly immerse yourself in it and enjoy it with me. I was so happy at that time.”

My heart was captivated; for the first time, I felt a resonance, and my heart was stirred.

For some reason, she inexplicably felt a sense of trust and dependence. What she remembered most was under the umbrella, when he lowered his head slightly to listen to her speak, gazing at her intently. She was too embarrassed to admit it, but at that moment, she couldn't help but dare to imagine that the girl he favored would surely be unable to resist snuggling in his arms.

Thinking this in her heart, Xia Qingwan leaned closer and whispered coquettishly, "...Why am I the only one who said so much?"

Ye Peixiu raised his chin slightly to kiss her and said with a smile, "What do you want me to say?"

She was about to answer when a sudden fullness filled her lower body, making her weak all over, and the words she didn't say turned into soft moans.

He didn't even take off his swimsuit; it's far too convenient for him.

I don’t know if it was the hot spring water on my swimsuit, but it was dripping down.
