Chapter 166 Playing Hard to Get
Lu Xiaomeng choked on her coffee and patted her chest to catch her breath. "How did things progress so fast? You're already living together?"
"What if we don't live together? One is an air traffic controller, the other is a pilot. We can't see each other every day. How can we have a relationship?" Xu Songning calmly took a sip of coffee.
Lu Xiaomeng nodded in agreement. These two high-intensity professions had come together, and they were really racing against time to fall in love.
Lu Xiaomeng suddenly blushed, looking at Xu Songning shyly. Xu Songning felt uneasy under her gaze and rubbed his arms.
"Mengmeng, what exactly are you trying to say? The way you're looking at me is really weird."
Lu Xiaomeng moved her chair closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Sister Xu, are you planning to have a child?"
Luckily, Xu Songning hadn't drunk any coffee, otherwise she would have sprayed a mouthful of coffee in Lu Xiaomeng's face.
So, all that beating around the bush was to ask this?
"Shouldn't children get married first? Yun and I have only just begun our relationship. Mengmeng, you little single dog, why are you thinking so far ahead?" Xu Songning poked her cheek.
“If you don’t plan to have children, you should take precautions.” Lu Xiaomeng held her hand worriedly. “Our line of work is already tough, and having a child doesn’t mean you can take a break. Working day and night is already bad for your health, and if you have an unplanned pregnancy, the burden will be even heavier. A colleague of mine had this experience before, and her pregnancy was so difficult that she had to apply for a job transfer.”
How should Xu Songning explain to this naive child that their cohabitation is just that—cohabitation—and that they haven't actually had any physical relationship yet?
Seeing Lu Xiaomeng's concerned gaze, she swallowed her words of explanation, patted her shoulder, and said, "Okay, I'll take your advice, you little single dog."
Lu Xiaomeng blushed slightly. "Sister Xu, why do you always call me a little single dog? It's not like I don't understand anything."
"Mmm-hmm," Xu Songning replied dismissively.
Lu Xiaomeng angrily bit her straw, shouting, "Discrimination against single people is forbidden!"
After Lu Xiaomeng said that, Xu Songning also thought about this issue when she got home.
Logically speaking, her relationship with Xiang Yun had overcome the only obstacle and should have progressed naturally, so why didn't it take further?
Xu Songning attributed the problem to Xiang Yun being a bit slow and wanting to slow down. They had moved too fast before, and now it was making it difficult to get to the point.
No, Sister Xu wants to speed things up.
When Xiang Yun returned from his flight that day, the living room was dark, and Xu Songning was already asleep in the master bedroom.
We've been sleeping together for the past few days, so the feeling is definitely different when you sleep alone.
When he finished showering and lay down on the bed in the second bedroom, a sense of loss welled up inside him. There was no one beside him, and no one wanted to tell him a bedtime story, so he couldn't fall asleep.
The next evening, Xiang Yun came home early. Xu Songning washed her hair and then pestered him to blow-dry it.
Xiang Yun naturally took the hairdryer and dried her hair. After that, Xu Songning waved her sleeves and returned to the master bedroom with the hairdryer, not forgetting to turn back and give him a flirty wink, "Goodnight."
On the third day, Xu Songning bought several new sets of pajamas. Summer was approaching, and a whole balcony was covered with silk slip dresses.
That evening, Xu Songning nestled in the master bedroom, the door half-closed, and chatted on the phone with Zhou Qiao.
Xiang Yun finally realized that he was being deliberately ignored.
He thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't offended Xu Songning in the past few days. Xu Songning had a good personality and rarely held grudges against him. What was wrong this time?
Xu Songning had been fishing for several days, but no one had taken the bait, and she was so angry that she started scratching her pillow.
"Knock knock".
"May I come in?" Xiang Yun knocked on the door.
Xu Songning gritted his teeth. Look how polite he is, even asking if he can come in. Who can be as gentlemanly as him?
"Enter."
"I'm here to take care of some work-related matters." Xiang Yun pushed open the door and saw Xu Songning wearing a sundress, lying on the bed playing on her phone, with her legs dangling off the edge of the bed and her feet pointed.
Xu Songning's legs are straight and well-proportioned, and she looks good in anything.
Xiang Yun looked away, sat down in front of the computer, and started working on his tasks.
Xu Songning lingered restlessly behind him, seemingly doing nothing important, but if you turned around to look, she was either looking for a book or tidying up the windowsill.
"Sit down for a while, it's giving me a headache." Xiang Yun slid another chair over for her.
This is an adjustable chair that Xiang Yun bought specially for Xu Songning. It is ergonomic and comfortable to lean on, whether he is playing computer games or using his mobile phone.
Xu Songning sat down, but she didn't sit still. She slid the chair back and put her feet on Xiang Yun's thighs to play on her phone.
When Xiang Yun looked over, Xu Songning had finished looking at his phone. But when he turned his attention to the computer, the foot that was resting on his thigh became restless.
Xiang Yun reached down and grabbed her wriggling ankle. "Can you be good?"
"No." Xu Songning wiggled his ankle, his eyes clearly teasing.
"Wait until I'm done with the computer."
"All right."
Xiang Yun didn't believe that Xu Songning had actually behaved herself, but she pulled her legs back, sat cross-legged on the chair, and her phone kept ringing.
He knew it was a message notification sound from Xu Songning's phone. It wasn't usually this frequent; today was unusually strange.
When he heard another croak, Xiang Yun finally couldn't hold back anymore. He thought about how she had been neglecting him these past few days, while she was chatting enthusiastically with others on WeChat. He felt extremely unbalanced.
"Songning, who are you talking to?"
Xu Songning lowered her head to reply to the message, a smile on her lips. She didn't hear Xiang Yun call her the first time, until Xiang Yun called her a second time with a hint of anger, and then she looked up.
"ah?"
"I asked, who are you chatting with?" Xiang Yun put down the mouse, grabbed her chair, and pulled her over, trapping her face-to-face in the chair.
Xu Songning felt smug. "Finally, you've put down that computer!" Looking at the chaotic emoji battle in her best friend group chat, she said, "Oh, I'm chatting with Captain Luo."
"Captain Luo?"
"Yes, you know him too, Luo Xiao. The Qatar Airways captain, the one taller than you, remember? We even had dinner together."
Without Xu Songning's prompting, Xiang Yun recalled the hand-kissing ceremony they had shared when they first met, and jealousy burned fiercely within him.
He suddenly grabbed Xu Songning's hand and gently bit the back of her hand, leaving no tooth mark.
Xu Songning hissed deliberately, "You bit me hard, that's not gentlemanly at all. Gu Xing is right, if you want to be like Luo Xiao..."
"Why!"
Before Xu Songning could finish speaking, she was lifted into the air and held firmly in Xiang Yun's arms. She thrashed around a couple of times before being tossed onto the bed, feeling a little dizzy.
"Xiang Yun! How can you be so unreasonable? What did I say wrong?" Xu Songning added fuel to the fire, saying this as she tried to run to the other side of the bed, but Xiang Yun pulled her back by the ankle.
Xiang Yun grabbed her waist to prevent her from escaping again and said in a deep voice, "Sister Xu didn't finish stamping the last time, let's finish it this time."
Xu Songning's trick succeeded, but he still shouted, "I'm not covering it anymore!"
"That won't work."
