Chapter 36 Exclusive 17 The best time for men to enjoy...
Chen Jinshi seemed to be laughing, and his heavy breathing hit her lips twice.
It tickled her spine.
She opened her eyes and he was looking at her.
She looked puzzled. Didn't she want a kiss? Yes, kiss! She was waiting.
Thinking that someone might pass by this place at any time, Chen Ying was extremely panicked. She glared at him and said, "Chen Jinshi, what on earth are you going to do?"
Chen Jinshi leaned close to her nose and rubbed it.
This action again.
The tips of her ears suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned her face away, saying softly, "No, if you want it, take it yourself."
Chen Jinshi didn't move either, just pressed against her, his breath brushing up and down, left and right on her cheek.
Chen Ying's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, so she could only turn her head and quickly kiss him on the lips.
The moment Chen Jinshi let go of her hand, she turned and ran away.
He stared at her back, wiped his lip with his hand, and leaned against the door frame like a pervert, muttering, "I'm not full, what should I do?"
Chen Ying walked quickly for a long distance until she was out of the house and onto the street. She didn't take a carriage today, so she had to stay in some open place where she could breathe freely.
Today she was wearing a soft silk jacket in light pink, with a smoky gray pleated skirt with small lace trims on the hem. The hem of the skirt rustled past the roadside with her long strides.
The street was bustling with activity, and several familiar neighbors greeted her: "Good morning, Miss Shen."
Chen Ying's face was hot. She had been walking very fast, but when she heard people greeting her, she slowed down unconsciously. Her eyes and eyebrows relaxed a little, and she replied with a smile: "Aunt Liu, you are setting up the stall so early today."
Aunt Liu smiled and replied, "If you come out and set up your stall early, you can do more business."
As soon as she finished speaking, the bun shop next to her also opened its stall. Seeing her, they raised their voices and greeted her, "Miss Shen, would you like two hot meat buns? They are fresh out of the oven and smell very good!"
Chen Ying stopped and watched the steam rising from the steamer, mixed with the aroma of oil. She looked at the big buns in the steamer, which were white and greasy.
The anxiety in her heart seemed to fade a little, and she nodded: "Okay, I want these two."
She pointed to two buns with oil seeping out of their skin. The family was busy sending Xie Qingyue off in the morning and hadn't had a proper meal.
Taking the oil-paper-wrapped bun, her fingertips shrank twice from the heat. She tossed the bun back and forth, holding it in her arms, and gave it more silver: "Send another basket to my house. My second young master hasn't had breakfast yet. I'll go to the shop first."
The vendor took the money and packed up the food swiftly: "Okay, don't worry, I'll make sure your Second Master can eat it hot."
Chen Ying slowed down her pace while chewing on a bun and walked slowly along the street, watching children chasing butterflies and old people sitting by the river chatting. The panic in her heart had long since disappeared without a trace, gradually turning into an indescribable sweetness. That hint of sweetness made the corners of her mouth gradually turn up and her steps became lighter.
Just thinking back to Chen Jinshi's eyes when he approached her, Chen Jinshi's aggressive pressure, and Chen Jinshi's hot and gentle kiss, the tips of her ears suddenly turned red again.
With two blushes on her face, Chen Ying stepped over the threshold of her own pharmacy.
When Shopkeeper Bai saw her, he smiled and said, "Boss, is this a happy event?"
Chen Ying was stunned and put the back of her hand against her cheek: "Nothing."
Shopkeeper Bai said, "I see you look very radiant today. There must be some great joy coming to your family."
Chen Ying glanced at him and said, "You're the only one who can say that. The Chen family is just like that. Don't worry, you'll definitely have a wedding banquet next month."
Shopkeeper Bai chuckled and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, this morning a lady came to get a prescription for regulating her qi and blood. I asked about her symptoms according to the method you mentioned earlier and wrote them down. Would you like to take a look?"
Chen Ying shook her head: "No need."
As he was speaking, he heard a worker shouting in the backyard, saying that the herbs drying in the sun needed to be turned over, and he was calling people to go over and work.
After hearing this, Chen Ying lifted her skirt and was about to go: "I have to keep an eye on it, don't let them ruin the honeysuckle I'm drying."
"Slow down, this thing will break easily when it dries out."
As he said this, he walked over and personally stepped on a small stool to carry the bamboo plaque down.
She couldn't help but be stunned. If Chen Jinshi were here, he would probably say that she had to deal with such things personally, and would nag her for a while, which would be very annoying.
Chen Ying stepped on a small stool and gently spread the honeysuckle in the bamboo basket. She picked up a small handful with her fingertips and sniffed it. The bitter fragrance hit her. She nodded and said, "This has been dried enough. Let's put it away."
"Boss, the mint is almost dried. Can we harvest it now?" The young man came over with a bamboo basket.
Chen Ying nodded and got down from the bench: "Collect it, put it in a jar and don't let it get dusty."
As he was speaking, the voice of Shopkeeper Bai came from the front hall again: "Boss, the wife of Mr. Wang is here to get medicine. She said that the pregnancy-maintaining medicine she got yesterday is not helping her. She wants you to look at the prescription."
Chen Ying responded: "I'm coming."
She patted the medicine powder on her hands and walked towards the front hall.
When she got to the front, Madam Wang was sitting there waiting. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "I've taken this prescription elsewhere before and it worked fine. I don't know why, but after taking your medicine, I just don't feel well."
Hearing these suggestive words, Chen Ying walked up to her, took the prescription from her hand, looked at it, sat down on the chair, and asked a few more questions about the diet in detail, her voice soft and gentle.
Chen Ying pointed at a few herbs on the prescription and looked up at Madam Wang: "Have you eaten anything cold these days?"
Madam Wang was stunned for a moment, her eyes evasive. "I'm a little sensitive to heat, so I had a bowl of cold porridge the other day."
Chen Ying put down the prescription, her voice still gentle: "No wonder, pregnancy-maintaining medicines should not be taken with raw or cold food. There's nothing wrong with this prescription, and the dosage is appropriate."
As she spoke, she stood up and took a small bag of dried tangerine peel from the medicine cabinet: "Take this, put two slices in the water when soaking, it should be good for your health."
Madam Wang took the tangerine peel and said with a wry smile, "Is it true that the herbs here are not good? I've taken medicines I've gotten elsewhere before and they worked just fine. How about you take my pulse again?"
Shopkeeper Bai said, "Don't worry about this. Our pharmacy is always very strict with the medicines we buy. We will never pass inferior products off as good ones. If that doesn't work, take a look at the quality of the herbs in our cabinet. They are not inferior products at all."
Madam Wang took a closer look, and the doubts on her face gradually dissipated. "That's right. I heard from my neighbors that the herbs here are good, so I came here to get them. Doctor Shen, it seems that I have wronged you."
"No way, you're pregnant, so you should be cautious. Go back and stop eating raw and cold food, and then try taking two doses of medicine."
Madam Wang smiled and thanked him: "I think Doctor Shen is very thorough in his work, so I will try it again."
Chen Ying sent her off graciously. Shopkeeper Bai wiped his sweat and said, "As long as there are no problems with the herbs in our shop, no one can blame us."
Chen Ying agreed and walked towards the backyard. In the afternoon, she moved a bamboo stool and sat next to the medicine drying rack, reading a yellowed book in her hand. From time to time, she stopped and reached out to turn over the wolfberries in the bamboo basket, looking at the bright red grains shining in the sunlight.
"Boss, Miss Su is here."
A waiter called out from outside, and Chen Ying stood up, her gentle face suddenly becoming extremely bright: "Lan Zhou, why are you here?"
Su Lanzhou was wearing a lilac jacket and holding a food box. He smiled brightly when he saw her. "I heard you've been very busy these past few days. My mother made some almond pastries and asked me to bring some to you."
Chen Ying took a few steps forward and took her hand as they walked inside: "You're finally here."
"What's up? Do you have something to tell me?"
After sitting down in the inner room, Su Lanzhou opened the lunch box and handed her a piece: "Try it first."
Chen Ying took the almond pastry and took a small bite. She nodded and said, "Aunt's cooking skills have improved again. It's delicious."
"I heard from my father that your eldest son is about to get married?"
Chen Ying nodded: "It's the 16th of next month, you can come then."
Su Lanzhou walked away a little: "I won't join in the fun. Your uncle's wedding is such a big event, how could the old man from the second house not get involved? I didn't go to the banquet hosted by my brothers last time at your house."
When Chen Jin was mentioned, Chen Ying fell silent. She almost dropped the almond cake in her hand, and the sweetness in her mouth became more and more widespread.
Seeing her like this, Su Lanzhou couldn't help but tease: "What did Chen Jinshi do to you again?"
Chen Ying's face turned ugly, and she finally sighed: "Lan Zhou, I didn't mean to hide it from you. If I don't tell you, I will be suffocated."
When she talked about this, her ears turned red, but she would not hide it like a little girl.
She pretended to be calm: "It's nothing, it's just that he and I are not in the same relationship as before."
The smile in Su Lanzhou's eyes almost overflowed: "Really - that's great!"
Chen Ying was stunned. Although she trusted her friend not to accuse her of being shameless because of this, she did not expect her friend to have such an attitude.
Chen Ying reached out and patted her arm, saying seriously, "Keep your voice down. This needs to be kept secret."
"It's already happened. What's there to hide?" Su Lanzhou leaned closer, his voice full of curiosity. "Tell me quickly, how did he get you to let go?"
Chen Ying picked up the teacup and took a sip, pretending to be calm: "There is no need to give in or not. He is handsome and has that kind of body. You have seen him too. He is blocking me like that... Can I refuse? Su Lanzhou, do you think I can refuse?" She emphasized by slamming the table.
Su Lanzhou was amused by her and laughed out loud: "Seriously, just follow his lead. You won't suffer any loss."
Chen Ying lost her temper, rubbing the rim of the cup with her fingertips, and her voice softened: "But I can't get over it."
Su Lanzhou stopped smiling, held her hand, and said, "Don't overthink it. It's something we both agreed to, so don't make it hard on yourself. Let him figure out the rest. If he can't do anything, then you've had enough. Pack up your things and run upstairs. Who can poke you in the back?"
Chen Ying was stunned when she heard this, but she felt that what Su Lanzhou said made sense.
"You're just too concerned about your dignity. Now that you've done it, can you still regret it?"
Chen Ying shook her head gently and said firmly: "No, I can't regret it."
Su Lanzhou raised his eyebrows and patted the back of her hand, and the heavy worry in Chen Ying's heart immediately dissipated.
"But I made it clear in advance that this matter must never be known to anyone else. Also, I will leave when the time comes. I will never let him ruin his future."
The sun gradually set, stretching their shadows very long. Su Lanzhou smiled and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, the medical books say that the best time for men to enjoy sex is between the ages of seventeen and twenty. After this age, their physical fitness will decline year by year..."
Chen Ying quickly stuffed a piece of almond biscuit into Su Lanzhou's mouth: "Stop talking!"
The sound of abacus in the front hall of the drug store gradually died down. Shopkeeper Bai was counting the accounts of medicinal materials for today. The shop assistants were busy tidying up the bamboo baskets for drying, and the sound of medicine grinding also stopped.
Chen Ying leaned over to seal the last can of mint and said to Su Lanzhou, "Okay, go back now. I'm closing here soon."
"Are you kicking me out now?" Su Lanzhou stood up with a smile and adjusted the hem of her skirt. "My mother made some candied fruit and will bring it to you in a few days."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the loud shout of Shopkeeper Bai in front of him: "Hey! The Second Master is here. I greet you. Boss, the Second Master is here!"
Chen Ying's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the jar. Su Lanzhou stopped walking out and suppressed a smile: "The Second Master is here, Yingying, your Second Master is here."
Chen Ying glared at her, and Chen Jinshi had already strode in.
Seeing Su Lanzhou there, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to Sister Su."
Su Lanzhou helped him up and said jokingly, "Good boy, get up quickly. Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days. Brother Shi has grown taller again. What delicious food did your mother feed you? Tell me."
Chen Jinshi had a smile on his face and was about to answer when Chen Ying pulled him aside, stood between the two of them, and glared at Su Lanzhou again.
Chen Jinshi took advantage of the situation to hold her wrist, and he gently rubbed it with his fingertips, which made Chen Ying unbearable.
"Amu, I'm here to take you back home. Sister Su is here too. Do you want to come over to our house and sit for a while?"
Su Lanzhou waved his hand and said, "No, your brother is getting married next month. I'll come back then. I won't bother you two today. Brother Shi, you must serve your mother well and don't let me down."
As she spoke, she winked at Chen Ying, and Chen Ying rolled her eyes at her without blushing.
When you become thick-skinned enough, you will no longer feel ashamed.
Chen Jinshi was standing behind her, the back of her head pressed against his chest, his arms around her shoulders.
He said, "Sister Su, take care."
As soon as Su Lanzhou left, Chen Ying shook off Chen Jinshi's hand: "I still need to reconcile the accounts with Manager Bai, please wait a moment."
Chen Jinshi sat down quietly aside: "Okay, I'll wait for Am."
Chen Ying turned around, walked to the counter with forced calmness, took out the account book and checked it with Manager Bai.
But she always knew that there were eyes watching her from behind.
Possessive, scrutinizing, admiring, unconcealed, filled with deep desire...
Chen Ying scribbled on the account book with her fingertips. She didn't hear a single word of the names of the medicinal herbs that Manager Bai said.
"Boss, everything matches. That's it for today. I'll be leaving now."
"Yeah." Chen Ying didn't even raise her head.
Until the people in the shop left one after another, the door of the pharmacy was closed gently, and the last bit of noise was shut out.
Chen Jinshi stood up, walked slowly behind her, and gently put his arms around her waist.
Chen Ying shuddered slightly. His chin rested on her shoulder. After a while, his lips and nose were buried in it, and his voice was muffled: "Are you done?"
A warm breath moved around her neck, and she slammed the account book in her hand shut, her heart in turmoil.
"Well, let's go home." She struggled.
Chen Jinshi tightened his arms and sniffed again: "It's so hard to be alone here, let me hold you for a while longer."
Chen Ying shrank her neck: "There are still some things at home waiting for me to deal with. Also, have you been studying hard today?"
"I have."
He crossed his arms around her abdomen, tightening them around her waist.
"All right."
Until she felt the lips buried in her neck, not only breathing and moving, but he began to suck.
Chen Ying broke away from him: "Chen Jinshi, this is not allowed."
"Why not?" His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of grievance.
Chen Ying pulled up her collar: "Someone will see us."
His eyes were glued to her, but he finally gave up and reached out to tidy up her hair that he had messed up, and his fingertips accidentally brushed across her face.
"I bought you some snacks. You can have some tonight."
The two walked back side by side, dusk had already covered the entire street.
Chen Ying deliberately tried to keep some distance from him, but Chen Jinshi always accidentally rubbed her sleeves and skirt.
The two walked in silence for a while, and Chen Ying suddenly said, "Why don't we take a carriage from now on?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
When they were almost at the alley entrance, Chen Jinshi quickly took her hand and shook it.
Chen Ying's whole body stiffened, and she couldn't bear to shake him off.
The wide sleeves covered it, as if the two people were standing too close and their sleeves were rubbing against each other.
In fact, he held her hand, kneading and lingering it over and over again, and his thumb stroked her palm again and again.
He held her hands softly and let her play with them.
He stroked each of her knuckles, extending from the palm to the pads, rubbing the joints.
His fingertips were covered with calluses, and the rubbing made her heart tremble.
The wide sleeves hung down like an impenetrable barrier.
During this stretch of the journey, Chen Ying felt a rare sense of security.
Her hands were completely wrapped by him, filled with his warmth, and even her breathing became sluggish.
He suddenly pinched her little finger with his fingertips, gently lifted it up, and then slowly lowered it, as if he was playing with an object that he couldn't let go of, with a bit of nonchalant teasing in his movements.
A thin layer of sweat formed on Chen Ying's palms. He suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to her ear: "Am's hands are so soft."
A warm breath brushed past her ears, and the itch in Chen Ying's palm instantly exploded, running along her arm all the way to her spine, and she almost couldn't stand.
Her hands were not soft, nor tender, but just an ordinary, common pair of hands.
He wrapped his whole hand around hers and squeezed it hard, causing her to almost cry out in pain.
"We're here." He said in a hoarse voice.
Chen Ying looked up and saw Chen Jinxing standing at the door.
She pulled her hand back abruptly, but her palm still held his warmth and touch, so hot that she quickly shrank into her sleeve.
Chen Jinshi stood still. She took two quick steps and said in a hoarse and gentle voice, "Jinxing, what are you doing standing here?"
Chen Jinxing's eyes wandered over the two people in front and behind, his face expressionless: "I want to see why you haven't come back yet."
Chen Ying's voice was a little unnatural: "I was delayed on the way."
Chen Jinshi took a few steps forward, standing right in front of Shen Ying, with his usual smile on his face: "Brother, my mother is a little busy in the shop today, so she's been delayed for a while. You don't have to wait for us."
Chen Jinxing turned sideways and said, "Come in first, the food is getting cold."
Because Chen Jinxing had some things to discuss with Shen Ying before leaving, and there were also wedding arrangements to be made, they agreed early in the morning that they would have dinner together.
He turned and walked into the yard with steady steps, without asking any more questions.
Chen Ying followed behind him, feeling a little uncomfortable. Chen Jinshi rubbed against her again and gently tugged at her sleeve.
She dodged to the side and glared at him, but Chen Jinshi just smiled softly, exerted a little force in his hands, and held her hand domineeringly.
After entering the dining room, the moment Chen Jinxing turned around, Chen Ying broke her hand free from his.
Chen Jinxing stood to the side of the main seat and pulled out a chair for her. Chen Ying sat down calmly. Chen Jinshi sat down next to her and slowly opened the wedding guest list on the table.
Chen Jinxing ordered the dishes to be served, his eyes falling on the list: "Someone from the Second House came today and said that the old man will come in person to preside over the ceremony."
Chen Ying raised her head and smiled, "Jinxing, this depends on you. After all, you are the groom."
Chen Jinxing's eyes fell on Chen Ying's face: "Amu, I want you to host it."
Chen Ying hesitated and said, "Your grandparents are still alive. Your marriage is a serious matter. I'm afraid..."
Chen Jinxing said: "My new wife and I must pay our respects to Ammu on the day we get married."
Chen Ying frowned, "That's absolutely unacceptable. I'm just taking care of you in name only, but I'm not actually your elder. This isn't acceptable."
Chen Jinxing said firmly, "Over the years, everything in and out of the house has been managed by Mom. How can you not be our elder? Mom, besides, I only trust you. I feel at ease only when you are around."
Chen Jinxing spoke sincerely. Chen Ying clenched her fists. If it were in the past, she would have agreed, but now, she and Shi Ge'er had this kind of relationship. If she accepted the greetings from Chen Jinxing and his new wife in front of everyone, she would really be criticized.
Chen Jinshi stood up slowly and helped Chen Ying sit down: "Don't worry, Mom, sit down first. Brother, Mom won't sit in the hall, and you don't need to worship her. The hall is naturally where the tablets of father and mother are placed."
Chen Jinxing stared at Chen Jin, trying to find out something from his eyes.
He looked at Chen Ying again and guessed something.
Chen Jinshi succeeded completely.
So fast and so easily?
As he spoke, Chen Jinshi placed a piece of fish belly meat into Chen Ying's bowl, picking out all the bones. He then added, "Besides, if you really want to worship, wouldn't it be more practical to kowtow to Am in private than in front of others? Don't you agree, brother?"
Chen Ying pulled Chen Jinshi twice under the table, signaling him to talk less, but he grabbed her hand and pressed it on her leg, preventing her from moving.
Chen Ying said to Chen Jinxing, "Don't listen to him. I don't need anything. I will take care of your wedding for you. I won't let anyone from the second house get involved, lest they mess things up here. Don't worry, Jinxing."
The three of them ate in silence for a while, with only the soft sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.
"Mom, try this again." Chen Jinshi picked up a piece of lotus cake and put it in her bowl, smiling like a cute puppy.
Chen Jinxing suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze just passing over the red tip of Chen Ying's ear. He put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "Chen Jinshi, when did you learn to eat with your left hand?"
