Chapter 55
Luo Mingxiu took a cold shower in the bathroom, but because he had too many thoughts during the process, he looked down after the shower and was a little impressed with himself for not being able to calm down.
After drying his hair and putting on his pajamas, Luo Mingxiu leaned against the headboard. Thinking of Shen Li's laughter and her smile, the flame in his heart reignited and grew stronger.
The long-lost feeling returned. Luo Mingxiu sighed, roughly ran his fingers through his hair, lifted his shirt with one hand and bit it with his teeth. He closed his eyes, his breathing growing heavier...
Feeling it wasn't enough, Luo Mingxiu called out Shen Li's name and reached for his phone to unlock it.
The wallpaper provided him with the most direct stimulation, but it still wasn't enough. He opened WeChat, biting his lip tightly as if suppressing something, but his fingers moved uncontrollably, tapping on a saved voice message...
...
Afterwards, Luo Mingxiu stared blankly at the ceiling. Once his intense emotions had subsided, he got out of bed to wash his hands and then removed the soiled sheets and stuffed them into the laundry basket.
After everything was tidied up, he sat down on the sofa, hugged a pillow and buried his head in it, imagining himself nestled in Shen Li's shoulder, and took a deep breath.
Oh my god, I miss her even more now.
.
The following evening, under the scorching summer sun, a hot breeze swept across the airport entrance.
Shen Li deliberately didn't let Xiao Yu follow her, and she didn't wear makeup. She wore a sun hat, a mask, and sunglasses, and a very simple dress that she had never worn before.
He inconspicuously got into Cheng Qingqing's old car, disappearing into the crowd.
“I never thought my old car would still be of any use,” Cheng Qingqing said to her as she got in the car. “Luckily, I didn’t sell it recently.”
"Enough talk, let's go," Shen Li said, taking off her sunglasses with a hint of slyness, urging her, "Don't let anyone recognize us."
Cheng Qingqing glanced at her and started the car: "Your dress is from so many years ago. It looks so dusty and drab. No wonder no one would recognize you."
Shen Li: "My mom's dresses are outdated and she doesn't wear them often. I borrowed them and wore them a few times. I found them quite comfortable, so I kept them."
Cheng Qingqing's old car was the one she used to drive when she was working as an assistant on a film set and recruiting actors. It was an old brand and not very good-looking, but it was still in good working order, after all, it had been through wind and sun with Cheng Qingqing.
“You two can use this car,” Cheng Qingqing said as she turned a corner. “I won’t sell it because nobody wants it. Anyway, it’s not conspicuous, and it will be convenient for you two to use when you go out.”
“Okay.” Shen Li nodded and saw a notification flash in the Detective crew group chat. It was that the main creative team and the lead actors had been invited by the platform to hold a meet-and-greet.
"A meet-and-greet?" Shen Li read aloud.
“Yes,” Cheng Qingqing also knew, “Rehearsal is next Saturday, and on Sunday the four of you main actors will sing the theme song of the play, and you will also sing your personal role song. Practice when you have time.”
Upon arriving at the residential area, the car was parked in the underground garage.
Shen Li had never been to the place where Luo Mingxiu had moved before. She left her suitcase where it was and asked someone to come down and get it.
"Then you can wait here, I'm leaving." Cheng Qingqing handed her the car keys.
Shen Li pulled her aside: "Let's have dinner together. He said dinner is ready."
"Forget it," Cheng Qingqing pinched her cheek. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I don't want to be a third wheel."
"Then I'll see you off." Shen Li stood up and followed her.
"Oh, you have a suitcase," Cheng Qingqing said, and strode away.
Shen Li smiled and turned around, only to see Luo Mingxiu had already come out of the elevator. He quickly ran over, creating a gust of wind, and hugged her.
"Sister, I miss you so much."
.
Luo Mingxiu pushed her suitcase, and Shen Li held his hand the whole way. Unable to resist, they kissed in the elevator.
Their longing transformed into a passionate, entwined kiss, the air thick with a sticky, intimate scent.
The elevator went straight to their apartment, and when they opened the door, their faces turned bright red.
Luo Mingxiu put down his luggage, then wrapped his arms around her, his eyes moist, and kissed her again and again with fierce intensity. Shen Li's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the sofa nearby.
Luo Mingxiu stopped and placed his hands on either side of her as he looked at her.
Shen Li remained motionless, also looking at him. Her lips were a little itchy, with strands of hair sticking to them. She blew on them, but they didn't come off. Luo Mingxiu helped her remove them and then bent down to tuck the hair behind her ear.
Luo Mingxiu was very close to her, close enough to feel his burning skin. His hand lingered behind her ear, quietly playing with her hair.
Shen Li could feel it. Staring at his reddened ear tips, she smiled and mischievously blew a quick breath into his ear.
Luo Mingxiu paused, his eyes darkening. He then pinched her earlobe and gently bit it.
Shen Li let out a soft moan before she could react, then quickly covered her mouth and pushed Luo Mingxiu away: "Let's eat, or we'll start playing with fire again."
She wasn't joking. After saying that, she excused herself to go to the bathroom and took the opportunity to take off her pants to check.
It's alright, very clean.
I was terrified! I felt a warm sensation in my lower abdomen just now, and I thought my period had come early.
After washing her hands, Shen Li smelled the aroma of food. The dishes were already set on the table, with four dishes and a soup, including both meat and vegetables.
She sat down, fanning herself with her hand, and smelled the steaming aroma. She praised Luo Mingxiu, "You don't usually have time to cook, but your skills are getting better and better."
"Maybe it's talent." Luo Mingxiu brought a pot of rice from the kitchen and ladled a full bowl for her.
"You're getting all smug just from a compliment." Shen Li picked up a piece of food from the plate in front of her and put it in her mouth.
"Mmm, it's delicious," Shen Li said. "It's lamb, right? I didn't order it."
Luo Mingxiu: "I bought it based on my own judgment."
Chen Li chewed for a moment and said, "How was it processed? There's absolutely no fishy smell."
"I called my mom and she taught me step by step." Seeing her eating happily, Luo Mingxiu felt extremely satisfied.
Shen Li became alert: "You didn't let anything slip, did you? Aunt Luo didn't ask you anything?"
Luo Mingxiu: "No, she knows I like to cook for myself on my days off, so she won't suspect anything."
"That's good." Shen Li said no more and focused on eating.
Luo Mingxiu silently picked up some food and ate his rice, glancing at her every now and then.
Actually, there's no need for any special dates. Just being with Shen Li and enjoying these little everyday moments is enough. He feels happy every time he watches her eat.
Having eaten too much food, Shen Li only ate one bowl of rice, but Luo Mingxiu added another bowl and she was still eating.
Shen Li leaned back in her chair, playing on her phone. After scrolling through videos for a while, she would glance at Luo Mingxiu.
She asked, "Do you have a dishwasher at home?"
Luo Mingxiu shook his head: "I don't use it often, so I didn't buy it."
Shen Li nodded and continued scrolling through her phone, wondering if she had guessed it or not.
After Luo Mingxiu finished eating, he started clearing the dishes. Shen Li quickly stood up to help him clean up and wiped the table clean. She turned and went into the kitchen, saying, "I'll wash the dishes. You've already cooked, Chef."
Luo Mingxiu hummed in agreement and followed her.
Shen Li touched her hair and said, "Mingxiu, go get my hair tie from your bag."
She thought Luo Mingxiu was in the living room, but when she turned around, she saw that he had come over as well.
"What, getting ready to supervise the construction?" Shen Li said with a smile.
Luo Mingxiu walked past her, threw the dish soap bottle on the counter into the trash can, and then opened the door above the cabinet: "That bottle is finished, here's a new one."
After saying that, he walked out of the kitchen and came back with two hair ties in his hand, one black and the other the yellow pear blossom hair tie he had given him.
"What are you doing with that? I just need to tie it up so it'll be easier to wash the dishes." Shen Li snatched the black hairpin from his hand, put it in her mouth, gathered her hair up with both hands in a few quick movements, and then took off the hair tie with one hand and tied it up.
It was just a simple and neat little movement, but Luo Mingxiu's eyes were glued to her, feeling that the way she was holding the hair tie in her mouth just now was exceptionally sexy.
Shen Li started washing the dishes. Luo Mingxiu leaned against the door, playing with his hair tie. He glanced at Shen Li's straight back, then his gaze moved upwards.
Her neatly tied hair swayed slightly on the back of her fair neck, as if it were a little hot, and she reached out to brush her hair away several times.
"Let me help you put it on," Luo Mingxiu stepped forward. "This kitchen faces the sun, and it gets even hotter at night. Even with the air conditioning on, there's nowhere else that's cool."
"I can do it myself..." Shen Li put down the bowl and was about to rinse the foam off her hands when the person behind her had already rolled up her hair and tied it up.
"You've thought of everything quite thoroughly." Shen Li had just finished speaking when she noticed Luo Mingxiu secretly taking pictures from the side.
She quickly changed her tune: "You just want to see me wearing it, right?"
Luo Mingxiu was a little confused, but then wanted to laugh: "Yeah."
Chen Li remained silent, burying her head in washing the dishes with all her might.
How adorable! Luo Mingxiu put down his phone and tidied up the washed dishes next to her.
He never imagined that such a day would come, that he could look at his sister so unreservedly, and never get enough of looking at her.
After leaving the kitchen, Shen Li lay half-reclined on the sofa to rest and cool off. When she got up again, it was already nine o'clock.
Seeing that the bedroom door was open, she went over after hearing the noise.
Luo Mingxiu was making the bed inside. When he saw Chen coming over, he said, "I'll get you a new set. You sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the sofa."
Shen Li narrowed her eyes: "Can't we sleep together?"
Luo Mingxiu froze, stammering for a long time before finally uttering three words: "It's too hot."
"Are you hot? The air conditioning is very cold," Shen Li said, sneezing. "I'm actually a little cold."
Seeing this, Luo Mingxiu immediately turned up the temperature and took out a shirt from the closet for her: "Put this on. You were sleeping in the wind in the living room just now, don't catch a cold."
"So, will you sleep with me or not, boyfriend?"
Shen Li was not swayed by his change of topic. The white shirt was loosely draped over her body. She raised her hand and smelled it. The shirt was very clean and had a faint scent of soap.
Luo Mingxiu approached and bent down to button her clothes: "Sister, aren't you afraid I won't be able to control myself?"
Shen Li smiled faintly, deliberately tracing a line on his hand with her fingertip, and then slightly tiptoed closer to his lips: "I couldn't control myself either."
Another cool kiss came, and Shen Li kept returning the kiss, sucking and pecking. Luo Mingxiu picked her up by the waist, carried her to the bed, and kissed her even more passionately.
Shen Li leaned her face back slightly, turning her head to breathe. The man's heavy breathing drew near, and he turned her face back, continuing to kiss her passionately, their breaths mingling.
"Slow down, a little." The woman tilted her head back to avoid him, her fair shoulders and neck even more pleasing to the eye under the light.
Luo Mingxiu's Adam's apple bobbed heavily as he leaned in, his lips and tongue covering hers again, repeatedly licking, biting, and sucking. He couldn't slow down; instead, his kisses became even more urgent.
Shen Li's face flushed, and a soft, nasal voice escaped her lips. Even though his actions were fierce and passionate, devoid of any skill, her heart was pounding, and she madly loved the feeling.
She loved watching him be seduced and teased by her, loved his clumsy and impulsive responses, loved watching his cheeks, neck, and exposed skin turn crimson.
"I like you, Mingxiu," Shen Li mumbled, her eyes flushed and alluring.
Luo Mingxiu seemed to hear the sound of a taut string snapping. His kisses slowly moved from her lips to her chin, neck, and then tirelessly kissed her collarbone, his breathing becoming heavier and heavier.
Until Shen Li spoke again, whispering two words in his ear.
Luo Mingxiu stopped, looking at her with teary eyes, his whole body instantly turning red.
Sensing silence, Chen Li sat up and looked directly at him: "Didn't you buy anything?"
Luo Mingxiu blushed so deeply it looked like it could bleed: "I didn't want to do it."
Shen Li closed her eyes. Today was still too rushed. She felt disappointed, but she might as well tease him a little more: "We're together now. Haven't you ever thought about it? Or do you just want a kiss and have no desire for me?"
“No,” Luo Mingxiu coughed heavily, thinking about his actions last night, “I thought about it, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon…”
Shen Li thought for a moment and said, "Although we haven't seen each other much, it's been more than three months since I confessed my feelings, right?"
Luo Mingxiu: "I'm sorry, I'll definitely prepare in advance next time."
Shen Li: "I shouldn't have told you to wash your mouth before I came back."
"What?" Luo Mingxiu didn't understand.
“It’s time for you to wash up,” Shen Li leaned closer and flicked his cheek, then chuckled as she got out of bed. “I’m going to take a shower.”
After rummaging through her suitcase for toiletries, Shen Li glanced at her slightly revealing nightgown, tossed it aside, and took out a proper set of pajamas.
Ugh, I'm feeling incredibly upset. I'm so angry, but I have to sleep on a vegetarian bed all night.
She carried the clothes into the bathroom and saw Luo Mingxiu inside, seemingly waiting for her.
What are you doing?
Shen Li was startled. When she saw Luo Mingxiu come over and hang the clothes in her hands on the hanger, she didn't dare to look at her. She turned her face to the side, her ears turning red, and said, "If you want, I can use another method."
