After entering the house, Xiang Jin first put her things on the sofa, picked up the broom by the door, and prepared to tidy up the house, which had been covered in dust since it hadn't been lived in for a while.
Feng Jianian, however, closed the door.
Xiang Jin was stunned.
Just as she was about to ask him a question, a pair of slightly cool hands reached up, lifted her up, carried her to the bedroom, and then threw her onto the bed.
Xiang Jin instantly realized what was happening, her face flushed red, and she frantically used sign language: "Jianian, I... my hand isn't healed yet."
"Didn't you say you could do any kind of physical labor?" He hooked her chin, his voice already quite hoarse. "Don't worry, Aqi, I'll make things easier for you."
Xiang Jin's face turned even redder; she was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
That sounds like he's flirting with her...
This was her first time being flirted with, and she had absolutely no experience. She didn't even know how to respond. She only felt her body and face burning. While she was still thinking of a solution, her hot lips covered hers, and her slightly cool hands began to wander up and down.
A moment later, I suddenly felt a chill on my body. I looked up and saw that my clothes were nowhere to be found.
After a while, both of them were sweating a lot, and the atmosphere in the room was lively.
…………
This is a protracted war.
After the first time, it happened again.
Xiang Jin's back ached terribly, feeling like her bones were about to fall apart, but she still bit her lip and tried her best to please him until it was all over.
He lay on top of her and fell into a deep sleep.
……………………
Xiang Jin was awakened by the itch.
Something touched her eyelashes. She opened her eyes and found Feng Jianian propping his head up and quietly watching her. It was already bright outside the window.
Xiang Jin blushed slightly.
He wasn't wearing a shirt, revealing deep and shallow marks on his body—evidence left from last night's frenzy.
He seemed to be in a good mood, his eyes slightly upturned, radiating a sense of immense satisfaction, as if many things had suddenly become meaningful. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that every time he was with her, he felt a deep sense of fulfillment, a satisfaction he had never experienced before.
This time, in particular, it was especially intense.
Is it because I haven't touched her for two months, and I've been holding back for so long that I'm releasing even more energy?
Perhaps he had been staring at her for too long, because Xiang Jin's face turned even redder. She pulled the blanket to cover her face, but he pulled it off again.
“Ah Qi.”
"I'm sorry I couldn't be with you on your birthday. If you have any wishes, feel free to tell me." He brushed her bangs aside, revealing his bright, fox-like eyes, and was immediately satisfied.
Xiang Jin smiled.
"Jianian, I'm past the age of believing in wishes." Because from childhood to adulthood, none of the wishes she wanted to fulfill have ever come true, and she doesn't even deserve the most basic freedom and marriage.
"It's okay to talk about it, what if it comes true?" He looked into her eyes, which he particularly liked.
All right.
Xiang Jin pulled the blanket up to cover her shoulders and started thinking seriously.
Actually, her biggest wish is to reunite with her mother and live a healthy and happy life together, but this wish is too difficult and there is no possibility of it being fulfilled.
Let's make a second wish!
"Then I'll wish myself a windfall, preferably around ten or twenty thousand." That way she can pay back Murong Xiao's money.
Feng Jianian raised the corners of his lips. This wish was easy enough, but—
"Isn't Aqi the daughter of the Xiang family? Why would she need tens or hundreds of thousands?" He seemed unusually frugal and short of money, which was out of character for her.
Oh no, how could I have forgotten about that?
She nervously clutched the blanket, quickly finding an excuse for herself: "I... actually, my relationship with my parents isn't very good, we're almost at the point of breaking up, so I don't spend much of their money and we rarely see each other."
"Is that so?" he asked casually.
However, she was not usually seen to contact the Xiang family much, and even during her long hospital stay, the Xiang family did not visit her.
Xiang Jin nodded.
"Then I wish Aqi all the best in achieving her wish and making a fortune." He ruffled her hair and prepared to get out of bed and get dressed.
The soft morning light streamed through the window and shone on him. Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at his back.
"What, haven't you had enough yet?" he asked with a smile.
Xiang Jin quickly looked away, and shyly picked up the drawing board to write: "No, I just noticed that you look a bit like someone. But it's okay, it's just my imagination, you don't need to worry about it."
For a fleeting moment, she thought she saw Murong Xiao.
His sharply defined features, deep-set eyes and brows, and slightly pursed thin lips all resembled Murong Xiao.
But how could that be? Feng Jianian and Murong Xiao are two completely different people. How could Jianian resemble him? She must be having a misconception.
She was certain of it.
Feng Jianian ignored her words and prepared to leave after getting ready.
………………
After Feng Jianian left, Xiang Jin also got up.
She was still feeling a bit sore and uncomfortable, and it was hard to walk, but she had promised Mr. Yu that she would go back to work today, and she couldn't break her promise.
The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and major e-commerce platforms are launching promotions again. These are always their busiest times, and their warehouses are currently short-staffed, so she can't afford to be absent.
Upon arriving at the warehouse, without even having time to say hello, they immediately threw themselves into their work.
Xiang Jin was so hungry that she didn't have time to eat until 2 p.m. She was so dizzy that she didn't even care about her table manners and just shoveled the rice into her mouth.
"I'm so busy, I don't know when we'll be able to find anyone." Sister Ding was exhausted and had no appetite at all, but seeing Xiang Jin eating so heartily, she suddenly felt like eating again.
"We need to hire people?" Xiang Jin asked in sign language.
After spending some time together, everyone has been able to understand some basic sign language. Xiang Jin can sign language for simple expressions.
"Yes, Guan Ming is leaving the company and hasn't come to work for more than half a month," Sister Ding said.
"Guan Ming wants to resign, why?" Xiang Jin was stunned. How could it be so sudden? She had never heard that he was doing a bad job.
"I don't know. Just a month ago, he suddenly caught a bad cold and developed acute gastritis. His family took him to the hospital, and then I heard that he was going to resign." Sister Ding put some fatty meat from her bowl into Xiang Jin's bowl. Xiang Jin loved to eat fatty meat.
One month ago...
That was after he visited her at the hospital.
Could it be that he resigned because of me?
After lunch, everyone got back to work.
Around 3 p.m., Zhang Xiaofu returned to the warehouse after delivering the packages. For some reason, she was in a bad mood. She threw the packages onto her car and drove off angrily.
“Guan Ming is leaving, and she’s been in a bad mood for the past month. Just ignore her,” Sister Ding said.
Xiang Jin didn't say anything.
