Chapter 25: Exclusive 6: A slap in exchange for a kiss,...
If a slap can be exchanged for a kiss, it is worth it.
It was late at night when Chen Jinxing came back from work outside.
Chen Ying was still waiting for him in the hall. She drank several cups of strong tea. Her heart was pounding because of the strong tea, and her trembling fingertips and arms made her uneasy.
Chen Jinxing strode in, his posture becoming more and more vigorous, and his brows were already slightly sharpened by the experience of life.
"Amu, you're looking for me."
His eyes fell on the dark brown tea dregs settled in her teapot, then slowly turned to her.
She rested her hands on the edge of the table, lowered her eyes, and didn't look directly at him.
"Amu, it's late, why do you want to drink such strong tea?"
Chen Ying finally looked up at him: "Jinxing, you're back."
"Um."
"Have you been busy lately?"
She waved her hand and told him to sit down on the chair instead of standing and talking to her.
If it was Chen Jinshi, she would have found a chair to sit down without her saying anything.
She shook her head, wondering why she thought of Chen Jinshi again.
"One thing, Mom. Thank you for your hard work on the family matters. If the Zhang family is interested in moving up the wedding date, then..."
Chen Jinxing really had selfish motives. He was busy with his career and it didn't matter who he married, but this family did need a housewife.
Chen Ying also agreed with this.
Although she was reluctant to leave here and leave them, some things had to come to an abrupt end at this moment.
"I will find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Mrs. Zhang. Let's increase the betrothal gifts and make the matter more glorious."
"Yes, Am."
Over the years, no matter what they discussed with Chen Jinxing, the two could always reach an agreement easily. Chen Ying couldn't help but think that if Chen Jinshi could be half as reasonable as Chen Jinxing, she wouldn't have to have so much headache.
"Amu, thank you for your hard work. Shi Ge'er is naughty and difficult to discipline. I will apologize to you on his behalf."
Chen Jinshi bowed, bent his waist, and lowered his long eyelashes to cover up the unspeakable secrets he had seen through.
Chen Ying called him up: "You don't have to apologize for Chen Jinshi's matter. He is not a child anymore."
Chen Jinshi nodded, his jawline set in a cold, stern tone: "Just ignore him, Am."
"Um."
Chen Jinxing looked at her carefully, then turned and left.
"Then I'll take my leave. Am, go to bed early and don't drink such strong tea anymore."
The next morning, Chen Jinshi came to pay his respects to her, but at noon, she looked out through the screen window and saw him standing straight in front of the door, looking calm.
She didn't sleep all night, she didn't know how to deal with this matter.
She always had the best expectations for Chen Jinshi.
Even though his brother said he was the most naughty and his father said he was not good at anything, Chen Ying never thought of it that way.
In her eyes, he is sincere and brave. She firmly believes that he is a decent person and will achieve great things in the future.
So much so that she still couldn't believe that Chen Jinshi had made such a huge mistake.
To this day, after a night of thinking, she still chooses to think it was an illusion.
So she decided to separate herself from him for a while and things would get better.
"Amu, are you awake?"
There was a knock on the door, which was particularly clear in the silence of the early morning.
Chen Ying was still lying on the bed. She raised her voice and said, "No, go study."
She stared at the shadow on the window paper for a while before the man left.
The moment she saw his shadow disappear, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up, dressed, and went out.
Based on her understanding of Chen Jinshi, she opened the door a crack before going out. After carefully checking that there was no man hiding outside waiting for her, she opened the door with peace of mind.
She was wary of Chen Jinshi, fearing that he would suddenly jump out from some corner and hug her tightly.
She didn't know why her mind was so shattered, but in her imagination, that arm would be very strong, the man's scent would quickly fill her nostrils, and she would not be able to escape.
She breathed lightly and left the mansion quickly with light and quick steps.
At noon, she and Su Lanzhou sat in a private room in Xiangmanlou.
Su Lanzhou saw that she was distracted, and looked at her calmly for a while, then suddenly asked: "What happened to you, Chen Jinshi?"
Chen Ying's hand holding the teacup trembled. Because she couldn't sleep well last night, she needed more strong tea to maintain her energy today.
She glared at Su Lanzhou and said, "Why bring him up for no reason?"
She finally came out to breathe a sigh of relief. Please, ask Chen Jinshi to stay away from her in all directions.
Su Lanzhou pursed his lips and swirled the spoon around in the bowl, making a slow, tinkling and clanging sound.
Chen Ying became increasingly irritated.
"What on earth did he do to you? Chen Ying, aren't we best sisters?"
Chen Ying nodded: "Of course."
"Then you have nothing to hide from me. Tell me, did he kiss you? Was he forced, or did you give in?"
Su Lanzhou asked as a matter of course. With a loud bang, Chen Ying's teacup fell on the table. Her knuckles turned white as she crushed the cup with a force that seemed to break it. Her eyes were filled with anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "Su Lanzhou!"
Su Lanzhou shrank back into his chair, moving a little further away from her. He laughed and said, "Oh no, it's my fault, it's my fault. I thought he was so brave, but what happened? This?"
Chen Jinshi blamed Su Lanzhou for being disappointed.
Then he said, "Why are you so absent-minded? You haven't done anything yet. Look at you. You are old, but you act like a little girl."
Chen Ying glared at her, then calmed down and asked seriously, "When did you know that?"
Su Lanzhou snorted, "Don't mention it, Chen Jinshi has a really good figure. Chen Ying, I'm actually very happy for you."
"Seriously."
"You don't have to pretend. There's no one else here. Tell me honestly, do you like his muscles too?"
Chen Ying nearly bit her back teeth to pieces, then turned her head away, brushed her hair, and said calmly, "Oh, who wouldn't like it?"
Su Lanzhou calmly poured himself a cup of hot tea, brought it to his lips, and breathed softly, feeling the hot steam rising up. He said lightly, "I like it too."
Chen Ying grinned: "What did you think he was doing when he took off his clothes in front of you last time?"
"Seduce you, and seduce me at the same time!"
"Wrong, he was trying to intimidate you."
So Su Lanzhou had already seen through Chen Jinshi's seduction. Chen Ying secretly cursed herself for being so slow to realize it, as she only discovered it now.
Su Lanzhou sat up straight, suddenly realizing, "That makes sense."
He added: "How much fun can it have for a young man to take off his clothes in front of a woman?"
Chen Ying regained her serious expression, but her distress did not ease.
"Lan Zhou, I'm not kidding you."
She clearly realized that some things were beyond principles, wrong, immoral, and should be severely corrected!
Su Lanzhou coughed twice and said seriously: "Chen Ying, things haven't happened yet, you don't have to be like this. Looking at his attitude last time, I thought, I thought..."
"Why?"
"It's nothing. Actually, Chen Jinshi is quite sensible. Chen Ying, you don't have to think too much. Just get along with him normally."
Chen Ying hesitated and said, "Actually, he did ask me if I could kiss him. I was very angry at the time."
She calmly narrated the facts and tried her best to reconstruct the scene so that Su Lanzhou could realize the man's excessive demands.
Su Lanzhou blinked: "Isn't he quite polite?"
“…”
"Don't think too much, come and eat."
After dinner, Chen Ying had the whole afternoon free, so she went around the shops on East Street. Shopkeeper Liu was going to quit his job after six months, leaving behind a lot of mess.
The clinic had barely opened half its door when it was completely blocked by patients waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
The young man in shorts was running around with a medicine grinder in his arms and almost bumped into her.
The pharmacist in the inner room also has no time to spare. He either squats in front of the medicine furnace, turning the sand pot for decocting medicine with his left hand, and using tongs to stir the fire with his right hand, or he flies around in front of the medicine cabinet.
A woman holding a child squeezed in at the door. The baby's face was red with fever and the crying was so loud that it could lift the roof off.
The shop assistant's voice was almost hoarse. He grabbed the cold tea on the counter and gulped it down. He shouted to a young man, "Go to the storeroom and bring two bundles of liquorice to boil. I'm afraid we'll have several more colds this afternoon!"
Only then did he have time to talk to Shen Ying: "Mrs. Shen, ever since the master gained respect in the Prince An's Mansion, the doors of our shop have been almost broken down by people. But the master is not here to see patients, and you can't help but feel these people keep coming here."
While comforting the patients, Chen Ying adjusted the order of the store: "Take your time, sort out the emergency patients first, and send the rest back tomorrow. It's not a good idea to have them all blocking the door."
Chen Ying's fingertips ran across the names of medicines on the rows of drawers. She opened them, picked up the medicine, and closed them. She moved quickly and first picked up the medicine for the little baby who was crying with a fever.
The noise was so loud that it made her upset, so it would be better to send it away as soon as possible.
A few guys carried in a young man from outside who was covering his leg. He had broken his leg while riding a horse. His trouser legs were covered in blood and he was wailing.
Several people quickly dispersed to give him space.
He came at the right time. Although he came for Chen Jinxing's reputation, treating this kind of injury happened to be Chen Ying's specialty.
The man shouted, "Please help me get Dr. Chen Jinxing to come. I can pay more."
The shop assistant advised him, "Please come in. Our boss Shen happens to be here today. You're lucky."
Chen Ying squatted down and neatly cut the cloth to reveal the wound.
When the man saw her, he looked skeptical: "Why is she a female doctor? Do women really know how to set bones?"
He struggled to sit up and pull his legs back together.
"Please send for Doctor Chen. I recognize your shop sign. I'll pay any price."
Even though veins popped out on his forehead from the pain, he still insisted on changing doctors to treat him.
The shop assistant who knew Chen Ying's medical skills hurriedly advised him, "Our Shen family is from Loufan. We have seen more horses than you have seen people. Don't yell nonsense. Just be at ease."
The man opened his mouth, and Chen Ying held him down: "Don't move." The voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable strength.
She first took out a piece of clean cotton cloth, dipped it in liquor and rubbed it around his wound.
The strong liquor made his skin and flesh hurt. The man gasped and was about to call for a change of operator when he saw her lightly press and twist the wound with her fingertips. The originally twisted bone made a light "click" sound, and the leg that was bent into an arc just now was straightened all of a sudden.
That's the pain.
"ah--------"
The man screamed, and Chen Ying quickly took the cloth strips soaked in medicine, wrapped it tightly around the wound in a few strokes, and then took out a few splints and fixed them firmly with cotton ropes.
These were all the same techniques she used to use, and her movements were very skillful. When she stood up, the man looked at her in amazement.
She stood tall, taller than many men in Jinling, and the sunlight shining down on her seemed to coat her with a layer of gold.
She really looks like a female Bodhisattva.
Then I heard her say calmly: "It's not serious. You can get out of bed after three months of rest."
The man opened his mouth, looked at his legs that were fixed firmly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he felt a little embarrassed.
By this time she had already taken care of him thoroughly. If he had to wait for Doctor Chen to come, his legs would still be splinted.
"...Thank you very much, young lady."
Chen Ying didn't respond, but turned to the waiter and said, "Prescribe him two prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis." After that, she walked towards the next patient.
The man pulled out a large bag of silver from his pocket and presented it to him: "Doctor Shen, where should I go to see you if I need a follow-up visit later?"
The waiter told him, "You can go to 'Dulan Mongolian Medicine' and find our boss Shen later."
By the time Chen Ying had dealt with several emergencies, the sun was already half set.
She stood up and rubbed her waist, and as she walked out, she sighed, could it be that she was really getting old?
But she is only twenty-four.
A few days ago, she received a letter from home. Her brother asked her when she would go back and whether she would stay in Jinling forever. If she did, she would reject several families in the tribe who came to ask about marriage.
Chen Ying also seriously considered whether to return to Loufan to start a family. She was not like Su Lanzhou, who was determined to remain single for the rest of her life. If she met the right person to marry and start a family, she would not be averse to it, but she was not in a hurry about age.
She pinched her waist and slowly walked out from behind the door curtain, unable to help but sigh: "This shop must make a lot of money every day."
It was also strange that even when Yueyue's account books were presented to her, she had never seen such a busy scene.
She returned to the mansion before dark, and Chen Jinshi blocked her in the hallway.
"Amu, where have you been?"
Chen Ying avoided him, walked to the side, and found a chair to sit down.
"I'm going to the shop."
Chen Jinshi said, "I went to the shop and checked, but you weren't there."
Chen Ying frowned: "Didn't I tell you to study hard in the study? What do you want me for?"
Chen Jinshi didn't answer. Seeing her pinching her waist with her hands, he hurriedly said, "Mom, does your waist hurt?"
Chen Ying waved her hand: "Nothing, I'm a little tired today."
He moved closer to her, grabbed her wrist which was resting on her lower back, and placed his big palm on it.
Chen Ying felt a warm sensation on her waist.
"you……"
She looked up at him and remembered what Su Lanzhou said.
Chen Jinshi is actually very sensible and polite. After all, he didn't do anything inappropriate, right?
Why does she have to be so nervous?
It's just that the child is filial and sees that she is tired, so he wants to rub her waist.
She leaned sideways on the edge of the table and slowly closed her eyes. It was hard not to be immersed in it.
His actions seemed to be bewitching, causing her to change from "absolutely not" at the beginning to "Okay, okay, Shi Ge'er is so nice——".
He saw her lying down contentedly, exposing her entire back to him, a smug grin forming on the corner of her mouth.
He held her lower back with one hand and rested his other hand on the table beside her.
From a distance, his figure completely enveloped her.
She was like a little white rabbit that had no idea it was in a cage.
"Am, is this the right amount of force?"
He asked softly, feeling the rise and fall of her waist with his palm. Her skin was elastic and soft, yet still had some muscularity.
A little further down is her buttocks.
And he couldn't go there.
Chen Ying narrowed her eyes, and in a daze, that strange thought appeared in her mind again.
It felt like someone's two hands were rubbing her buttocks.
How could she think that?
Sight is just sight, and has no substance.
"Well, use a little more force."
She requested, and he leaned in further to get better leverage.
The force increased as she wished, and she moaned in pleasure.
A firework exploded inside Chen Jinshi's head.
She thought that Shi Ge'er was fine, he just massaged her waist and didn't do anything extra or out of line.
She was overthinking it all.
He was her good son, nothing more.
"Go up a little further."
His fingertips slowly moved up along the spine, and the touch was very subtle through the fabric.
"Here?"
"Yeah, right here."
"Is the force appropriate?"
"uh-huh."
She hummed softly from her nose.
He covered his long eyelashes to hide his deep desire, without increasing his movements. If someone was watching from behind, they would have noticed the stickiness in the movement of his finger bones.
Chen Ying had no idea that she was tempting him. She was just lying there perfectly still.
This prone position made her back more winding and undulating, forming a graceful arc, while his hands moved in between.
If Chen Jinshi did anything more out of line, she thought she would be able to notice it quickly and get out of this situation.
Unfortunately, he didn't, everything was so "normal".
He asked softly, "Do you need a massage on your shoulders, Eminem?"
When he asked, he even withdrew his hand and leaned over to stand aside.
What a well-behaved and polite son.
She nodded: "Yes."
He would need to use both hands.
He changed his stance, moved closer to her, and placed his hands on her shoulders.
Her shoulders were broad and thin, with distinct bones and a layer of soft skin.
He began to massage.
She began to feel comfortable, a kind of comfort that came from having such a good son.
His palms were broad and large, with a suitable temperature and a caring strength.
He never complains of being tired and he serves her wholeheartedly.
He sniffed slowly, and because of the close distance, he could smell the faint fragrance on her body.
Nice milky flavor.
Some people who come to Nanjing from Mobei have a strong smell on them.
Chen Jinshi felt that the smell on Am's body was slightly different, as if the goat's milk had been stripped of its mutton smell, leaving only the aroma of milk and meat.
He only dared to sniff gently and did not dare to use force.
If he pushed too hard, she would notice.
"alright."
He stopped reluctantly until she spoke.
Chen Ying's entire back had been massaged to be very relaxed, and her condition had changed from tired to comfortable.
She felt that was enough.
Then he didn't dare to continue.
He took two steps back, stood in a clear boundary and asked her: "Am, are you sure it's enough?"
He curled up his fingertips and savored the memory silently.
Then he begged her to give him a little more reward.
Is it okay to give a starving dog a bone, lick it around, and then take it away completely, without letting it eat the meat? The tongue is still hanging out.
A dog will bite when it is angry, Am.
Shen Ying was sure that was enough.
She rose from the table and moved from her prone position to leaning against the back of a chair.
She looked up at him with a grateful smile in her eyes: "Brother Shi, thank you very much. I feel much better now. You should go back and rest early. Tomorrow, pack your pen covers and book bags early. I will help you pack them."
The three sessions of the provincial examination take a total of nine days, three days each, and the examinees need to stay in the cell for three days.
This is really a torture for someone like Chen Jinshi, and Chen Ying couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
I have long forgotten what I said before and have ignored him for the past few days.
"I've already prepared some dry food for you. Go back and calm down and get some sleep. I'll help you clean up tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow morning, early in the morning, while it was still dark, we had to send him to take the exam.
Chen Jinshi watched her red lips moving, but he didn't hear a word she said.
"Okay, go and rest."
Chen Ying waved her hand and sent him away, and only then did he come back to his senses.
He turned around with slow steps.
"oh."
Chen Ying frowned as she watched him leave. She had to admit that she felt much more comfortable.
Chen Jinshi was indeed very well behaved today. He did whatever he was told to do and did not make any actions or requests that went beyond the boundaries.
That is, she felt that his mental state was not very good.
The exam is about to begin. If I don’t do well this time, I will have to wait another three years.
Chen Ying sighed, stood up, and prepared to go back to her room to rest.
She needed rest after staying awake all night last night.
She walked all the way back to Tinglan Garden, which was the most beautiful garden in the mansion.
Every blade of grass and every tree was specially planted for her by Chen Jichuan.
At that time, she said, "Little girls like to plant roses, so I'll plant more for you. They will bloom in all colors in spring."
Thinking of this, Chen Ying couldn't help feeling sad. It would be great if the general were still alive.
She really missed the general.
If he were still alive, she wouldn't have such a headache because of Chen Jinshi.
There is always someone to discuss everything with... Chen Jinshi’s bad habit.
She closed the door and took off her outer and inner clothes one by one.
Then she froze and frowned deeply.
It turns out that the feeling she thought was very comfortable turned out to be like this...
Yes, his palms were big and strong, his movements were gentle and in control. Shouldn't she feel very comfortable when he was massaging her?
She looked up, feeling deeply doubtful about herself.
Do you want her to admit it?
She fell in love with him?
No, that's not right.
She fell naked on the bed.
She was probably just lonely.
How could that be?
If Chen Jinshi knew that she got wet for him, he would be very proud.
She thought he was the bad one.
It turned out to be her.
Chen Jinshi was much younger than her, and he called her "Am".
She is the immoral one...
She deceived herself into thinking that everything was within the limits, and so she enjoyed it calmly.
Once he changes from blaming Chen Jinshi to blaming himself, then all his actions can be forgiven.
