Chapter 95: A lingering aftertaste...a dream
In the early morning, the spring air is cold and the light in the room is dim.
Qi Huaijing had been busy in the shop all night again. Just as he was about to lie down to rest for a while, half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard the sound of a door being pushed open.
He lay on the narrow couch without even opening his eyes.
"go out."
With a creaky sound, the door closed and someone walked in.
Qi Huaijing raised his eyes slightly and saw a corner of a dark green robe through the gilded screen, but he couldn't tell which manager it belonged to.
"Let me talk to you after I wake up. Get out!"
The footsteps paused for a moment and became lighter, but they were still approaching.
Qi Huaijing hated it most when someone disturbed his sleep. This was the first time he met such a tactless guy. He felt annoyed and simply stood up. When he looked up...
Chen Tang was wearing men's clothes, with her black hair tied up, and was tiptoeing towards the couch.
When her eyes met the person on the couch, she just grabbed the corner of her clothes to prevent the fabric from rustling, like a thief caught on the spot.
Qi Huaijing burst out laughing.
"Why... come here quickly!"
It was still very chilly in the early morning of a spring day in Beijing, and she was shivering all over. Qi Huaijing lifted the quilt and motioned for her to get in.
Chen Tang put down the corner of his clothes and walked over with a smile. Seeing that the couch was narrow and could only accommodate one person, he let him cover himself and tucked in the quilt.
"You go to sleep. I'll come over after I've had a good night's sleep."
In fact, she had been uneasy ever since she heard the news from Zhao Wenzhen. She tossed and turned on her pillow at night and couldn't fall asleep. She simply kept her eyes open, pinched the edge of her pillow, and thought about it over and over again.
When it was just dawn, she couldn't help it, so she asked Bai Lu to ask for a horse in the name of Qi Huaijing. She changed into men's robes, sneaked out of the Yue family, and came to the shop to find him.
She rode over in the night, feeling somewhat resentful. This man didn't even explain such an important matter to her!
But as soon as he entered the room, he saw that this young man, who was originally the most particular, had only taken off his outer robe, with his inner clothes disheveled, and fell on the narrow couch, with his brows frowned even when he closed his eyes... Suddenly, the intention to blame him disappeared, and he was left with only a heart full of pity.
Chen Tang sat beside the couch and asked him to sleep well, but Qi Huaijing refused and moved back a little, reluctantly making some space for him.
"Come in and warm yourself up. Your hands are so cold."
Chen Tang couldn't help but touch his unshaven chin. It was obvious that even when he was in such trouble, he still cared whether his hands were cold or not.
She followed his instructions, took off her cold outer robe, took off her shoes, and tiptoed into the warm quilt on the narrow couch.
The spring is cold, but his embrace is as warm as ever.
"Tang'er, why are you here? Why are you still silent? Is there something wrong at home? Is there someone..."
"Yes, someone bullied me. It was clearly a matter between two people, but they kept it from me and thought I was a fool."
Qi Huaijing is much more cautious than Zhao Wenzheng. Even at this time, he is still pretending to be innocent.
“…Oh? Who is it?”
Chen Tang couldn't help but pinch his chest, "It's my dog that loves to bite people!"
Qi Huaijing smiled and held her cool hand.
"When did we get a dog? Is he handsome? I hope he's not as ugly as Ah Zhen."
Chen Tang stretched out his fingertips and slowly traced his eyebrows and eyes.
"He is very handsome. He has beautiful eyebrows, beautiful eyes, and a beautiful nose..."
Her fingertips touched the center of his brow, then slid down across his straight nose and slightly parted lips... until they reached his stubbled chin and she stroked it gently.
"…It's just that the dog's hair is a little messy."
Qi Huaijing felt a little itchy when she touched him, and couldn't help biting her. As he moved, Chen Tang almost fell off the narrow couch. He quickly reached out to hug her tighter and held her in his arms.
"It sounds like a good dog. You should treat him well."
Shen Tang was hugged tightly by him, their bodies pressed against each other, and they both felt warm.
She stretched out a finger, as slender as jade, and lightly touched his lips with a gentle smile.
"Okay, my dog loves to bite people the most, and in my heart, I just want him to bite me."
There was a moment of silence, and they looked at each other intently. Qi Huaijing looked at her smile and suddenly became choked with tears.
It was a cool spring morning with hazy sky.
The eyes of both of them reflected the faces of the people in front of them. There was a tacit understanding that needed no words, as well as a warm and hazy tenderness.
After a long time, Qi Huaijing slightly opened his lips and teeth, gently bit her knuckles, but without using much force, and held them in his mouth and sucked them gently as if he was kissing her.
Chen Tang's voice was slightly hoarse, with an inexplicable grievance that he had felt since arriving in Beijing.
"Huai Jing, Huai Jing..."
Qi Huaijing didn't answer. He just loosened his fingers and then hugged her tighter, sucking the fragrance behind her ear.
He knew her very well through their close interactions.
Chen Tang shuddered all over, and couldn't help but raise his neck, curling his instep slightly and rubbing it lightly between his calves.
"Bad...bad dog...you are not allowed to..."
He held her soft hand, making her feel the same pain, and it was so hot that she couldn't help but hold it tightly.
"Ouch... it hurts, Ali..."
All the way down, biting vaguely, probing through the clothes, until he rubbed the person into his bones and blood, making it impossible to tell them apart.
…
After being awake for a long time, Qi Huaijing fell into a deep sleep and had the best sleep he had in days.
Chen Tang covered him with a blanket, put on his clothes, stood up, walked slowly outside, and sat on the chair he usually sat on.
The dark gold-colored desk was covered with messy account books, there was strong tea on the side of the table, and a few leftover fruit cores on a small silver plate.
He had always disliked the unclean food outside, and perhaps because he didn't eat much, he had to eat fruit to fill his stomach.
The tea was still warm. Chen Tang took a sip and found it very strong and bitter. It was not the flavor he usually liked. It seemed that he relied on this to stay awake.
She sat on the chair, quietly flipping through the account book, page by page, looking for traces of his thoughts.
…
At noon, Qi Huaijing suddenly woke up from his dream. He stroked his forehead and was in a daze for a long time. He felt as if he had had a very real erotic dream.
I haven't had such a lingering dream for a long time since I got married.
He sighed, looked at his messy undershirt, laughed at himself, turned over, straightened his clothes and got up.
Chen Tang had heard his movements long ago, and walked over quietly, hiding behind the mud-gold screen.
As he walked out, he stretched himself, preparing to think about how to solve the problem before him. As soon as he turned around the screen...
"Ahhhhhhh! Tangtang!"
Qi Huaijing was so frightened that he took two steps back before he recognized her.
Shen Tang doubled over, laughing so hard that he fell backwards.
“Hahahahahaha you…you are always scaring people…and now you finally have come to this day!”
Qi Huaijing was still in shock, and only then did he realize that the affair was not a dream.
"You! You little devil! I am going to seduce you!"
Chen Tang tried to escape with a smile, but was quickly caught by him by the waist, thrown onto the narrow couch with big strides, turned over, and spanked him twice on the buttocks.
