Chapter 56
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, then hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips: "Okay then."
Their breaths mingled quickly, and Luo Mingxiu kissed her eagerly.
Even more passionate than before, her shirt sleeves slipped down to her arms, and Shen Li's legs trembled from the kisses.
"Great job, Mingxiu." She couldn't help but praise him during a break in their passionate kiss.
Luo Mingxiu's eyes darkened, and without saying a word, he picked her up and placed her on the large, clean sink. Behind her was a mirror, and Shen Li fell backward due to inertia, her back pressed against the cold, hard mirror surface. She frowned slightly.
Luo Mingxiu placed his hands behind her back, then lowered his head to kiss her. After a lingering kiss, his lips gently touched hers as he slowly moved downwards, lifting the hem of her long skirt as he bent down.
The heavy breathing made Shen Li shrink back involuntarily.
"Mingxiu." She called his name, but her mind went blank.
Luo Mingxiu looked up, and the woman under the lamplight looked down at him with her eyes as gentle as water and her demeanor charming. This was another side of her that he had never seen before, and at this moment, his heart was trembling for her.
"So beautiful, sister." After saying this, Luo Mingxiu's broad back hunched over completely.
His nose was straight, and when it was brushed against repeatedly, Shen Li involuntarily opened her lips and gasped for breath.
Luo Mingxiu didn't keep his head down the whole time; he would occasionally look up at her, which looked incredibly sexy. He would only continue if he saw that she looked comfortable.
Her body gave her more feedback; he called out to his sister, his voice low and hoarse with barely suppressed emotion.
“Call me… by my name,” Shen Li said breathlessly, “but don’t… call me sister.”
She kicked his back with her foot, which felt like a kitten tickling Luo Mingxiu.
"Why?" Luo Mingxiu kissed her once, then paused, his nose touching hers as he looked up at her, a rare mischievous smile appearing on his face. "This way, her reaction to calling me 'sister' will be even cuter."
"No." Shen Li bit her lip and said it again. It wouldn't matter normally, but doing something like this and still calling her "sister" made her feel incredibly guilty.
"Okay." Luo Mingxiu smiled.
The soft sound of water in the bathroom was accompanied by broken, low moans...
...
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Mingxiu lifted her down from the sink.
With her feet back on the ground and her body straightened, Shen Li glanced at him and asked, "What about you? Do you need my help?"
Luo Mingxiu shook his head: "When I can take a shower..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Li said, "Then you go wash first, I'll go get your clothes."
After saying that, Shen Li ran into the bedroom in a flash, opened the wardrobe, and saw several sets of pajamas hanging there. She looked at them one by one, and without hesitation, for her own selfish reasons, she picked out a long pajamas that could show off her chest muscles.
When I went back into the bathroom, it was already fogged up. The curtain of the glass partition was drawn, and I could hear the sound of running water coming from inside.
"I hung your clothes outside," Shen Li said.
"Mmm," Luo Mingxiu responded from inside, accompanied by sounds that made one blush and their heart race.
Shen Li blushed and quickly hung up her clothes before going outside. She sat down on the sofa and waited quietly.
The chaotic scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind, and her heart was racing. To avoid thinking about her fever again, she quickly opened her phone and started scrolling through short videos.
Just as she was about to fall asleep from watching videos, the bathroom door finally opened. Upon hearing footsteps, Shen Li immediately glanced at Luo Mingxiu.
I wanted to see how the pajamas I'd chosen looked on me, but then I noticed the person who came in had a towel hanging around their neck, which was covering their chest.
Luo Mingxiu sat down next to her: "I'm done washing up, you can go now."
"Tch, we've already done more intimate things, what's there to be shy about?" Shen Li looked away and got up to walk towards the bathroom.
She wasn't really interested in watching it either.
Behind her, Luo Mingxiu stared at her back, then looked down at his own open collar, slightly curved his lips, and removed the towel.
The bed in the bedroom was a mess. Luo Mingxiu tidied up the messy sheets, made the bed again, and took another thin blanket from the closet and put it on the sofa.
After Shen Li finished taking a shower, she saw this scene.
Luo Mingxiu was already asleep, lying on his side on the sofa. A blanket covered all the parts that needed to be covered, leaving her no room for imagination.
Look how scared she is! Isn't she being too unreserved, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey?
But is it comfortable for someone as tall as him to be lounging on this sofa? If anyone should be sleeping, it should be her on the sofa.
Shen Li was a little worried, so she went over and cleared her throat: "Mingxiu, go to bed. What you did just now... satisfied me. I won't do anything else to you."
After saying that, she bit her tongue in regret. Oh dear, what was she babbling about?
She added, "If you're scared, we can switch. I'll sleep on the sofa."
Luo Mingxiu was silent. He was turned to the side, so Shen Li couldn't see his face. She went over to take a look and saw that he had his eyes closed, his breathing was shallow, and his fine eyelashes were long and black.
"Really asleep?" Shen Li gently rubbed his eyelashes with her palm and muttered to herself, "I'm waking you up. Don't blame me if you wake up with a sore back tomorrow morning."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek.
"good evening."
Shen Li turned off the light and went to bed. In the darkness, Luo Mingxiu opened his eyes and seemed to still smell the fragrance that had been close by. His face flushed again.
What was Shen Li thinking? Why was he afraid of her? He was afraid that he would lose control and do something reckless.
.
The next day, at the first light of dawn.
While filming on set, Shen Li forgot to turn off her alarm clock, and was woken up by the ringing at six o'clock. She fumbled for the switch to turn on the light, rubbed her eyes to adjust to the light, and looked at the sofa, but no one was there.
"Getting up so early." Shen Li muttered as she put on her slippers and walked out of the room. Hearing noises from the kitchen, she went over and peeked through the door. Sure enough, Luo Mingxiu was making breakfast inside.
He was so focused on his work that he didn't notice the gaze outside the door. Shen Li watched quietly for a while before speaking.
Did you sleep well?
Luo Mingxiu turned his head and first noticed a tuft of hair sticking up on Shen Li's messy head, which was different from her usual temperament and had a cute feel to it.
He smiled and said, "Not bad. How about you?"
"Okay, I'm quite comfortable in bed," Shen Li tilted her head to look at him, "But you, didn't your back hurt or your legs go numb after spending the night on the sofa?"
Luo Mingxiu shook his head, picked up the breakfast he had prepared, and walked out. As he passed her, he couldn't help but free one hand to pat her ahoge (a stray hair on her head): "Go wash up and have breakfast."
"Oh." But why did you suddenly touch her head?
Seeing her uniquely messy hairstyle in the mirror, Shen Li finally understood Luo Mingxiu's inexplicable behavior earlier.
How embarrassing, considering her beautiful and charming image!
Shen Li had to wet a comb to get her sticking-out hair down. She must have been sleeping too relaxed. I don't know how she ended up like that.
After breakfast, Shen Li occupied the bathroom. She still didn't dress up much, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, and only applied some face cream and lip gloss before coming out.
Even so, she was still beautiful and charming. Luo Mingxiu sat on the sofa, his eyes following her as he silently watched her rummage through her suitcase and pull out a mask and two hats.
Then she got up and came to him, put the black one on his head, and put the white one on herself: "I saw it in Y City, and I bought one for you too, a matching couple's style."
Luo Mingxiu took off his hat and stared at it blankly for a long time.
"What are you standing there for? Go change your clothes," Shen Li patted him. "Bring a few sets of clothes to change into. Come back to the villa with me today."
You haven't been to my basement yet, have you? You can watch movies there. Dress simply; we'll go to the supermarket later to buy groceries, fruit, and snacks.
"Okay." Luo Mingxiu pursed his lips, unable to suppress his smile, his eyes shining brightly.
"That's nice." He leaned down and kissed her before going to his room.
He would launch a sneak attack. Shen Li didn't react in time. She touched her face and glared at him from afar.
Half an hour later, Luo Mingxiu came out, dressed similarly in a white T-shirt and jeans. After hearing what she had said last time, he even took out the necklace she had given him and put it on.
Shen Li made him stand up straight, looked him up and down, and laughed, "No wonder it took you so long to come out. You really found a pair of pants that are similar in color and style to mine."
"Does it look good?" Luo Mingxiu blushed and put on the mask and the hat she bought.
"So handsome, so handsome I'm attracted to him." Shen Li said whatever came to mind, ignoring Luo Mingxiu's flushed face, and pulled him to stand in front of the full-length mirror to take pictures and admire himself for a while before grabbing her keys and leaving.
“Take the car keys,” Shen Li said, shoving the keys into his hand.
"Qingqing gave us her old car. The situation is special now, so we'll use this car when we go out from now on. We'll keep a low profile so we can go out and have fun in our free time, take trips, and drive a little further to places with fewer people."
The person next to her remained silent after she finished speaking. Shen Li looked at him and said, "Is this arrangement alright? I'm used to taking the initiative. If you feel anything is inappropriate, you can say so. For example, you can suggest where you want to go or how you want to have a date with me."
“No problem, I think it’s nice to do these everyday things with you.” Luo Mingxiu hooked her finger and took her hand.
He didn't feel uncomfortable about Shen Li's initiative. If he felt uncomfortable, it was probably hearing her heart-pounding words, which made him feel incredibly happy.
.
The advantage of shopping at the supermarket early in the morning is that apart from some elderly people, there are not many young people, so naturally no one will pay attention to them.
"What do you want to eat today?" Luo Mingxiu asked her as they entered the fresh food section.
Shen Li thought for a while but couldn't come up with a solution: "Just buy whatever you think is best. Anyway, everything you make tastes delicious."
“Okay.” Luo Mingxiu walked around, stopping frequently, and skillfully picked out vegetables. After going around once, Shen Li glanced at the cart. Although he bought them according to his wishes, all the vegetables he picked were ones she liked to eat.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, her and his tastes have always been very similar. They grew up together, and their tastes were both influenced by Luo Mingxiu's mother.
Recalling how she and her ex-husband used to argue because they couldn't agree on what to eat, Shen Li couldn't help but sigh. She realized that a more suitable person had been by her side for a long time, but she hadn't noticed and had missed out on so many years.
"Let's go," Luo Mingxiu nudged her with his arm. "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Li snapped out of her reverie and brought her thoughts back to the present: "I was thinking, it would have been better if we had been together sooner."
Luo Mingxiu paused slightly, a smile appearing in his eyes: "It's never too late to be with you."
"Oh, you're so good with words." Shen Li slightly tiptoed and raised her hand, and Luo Mingxiu took the opportunity to lower his head so that her hand could be placed on it.
Seeing how natural his movements were, Shen Li's heart skipped a beat for a second. She lowered her hand and gently rubbed his face: "Why are you being so obedient?"
Trying to flirt but ending up being flirted with instead, Shen Li felt embarrassed and strode forward, with Luo Mingxiu pushing his cart close behind.
"Snacks, snacks," Shen Li muttered, glancing at a familiar package on the shelf.
"Hey, these are those bear-shaped cookies that used to be sold!" Shen Li exclaimed excitedly, holding them up to show Luo Mingxiu. "Look, do you remember? You loved eating them when you were little."
“I remember,” Luo Mingxiu took the cookies and put them in the cart. “I really miss that taste.”
What I miss is not only the taste, but also the scene when I first came to Shen Li's house from a faraway place and she picked out all the cookies for him.
That was the first time he felt noticed, and from then on, bear-shaped cookies became an adjective for him.
It describes the feeling of sweetness and joy that comes with seeing one's older sister every time.
“This is the classic flavor, and I miss it too.” Shen Li said, throwing a few more bags in, and then walked to the other side to pick out potato chips.
While the two were queuing to pay, Shen Li's phone rang, so she went outside to answer it.
It was Chen's mother who called. She asked Cheng Qingqing and found out that her daughter had finished her group work for the year. She asked when she was coming home to play.
"Wait until you and Dad have your National Day holiday, then everyone will have time. Um, I have a meet-and-greet next month, and then some miscellaneous business work..."
Okay, I'm at the supermarket with Mingxiu. Yes, he's on break too. Okay, Mom, we'll video chat when I get back. Of course I miss you, I love you.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Li turned around and saw the cashier packing their purchases into a bag.
She spotted a small box being put inside, then glanced at Luo Mingxiu, who was looking down at his phone, his ears bright red.
While she was queuing, she deliberately glanced at the condoms and saw that Luo Mingxiu was staring at his phone. She assumed he hadn't seen them and was about to go and buy some herself when the phone rang.
It now seems that Luo Mingxiu wasn't blind to it, but rather searching for how to choose.
Shen Li smiled, then looked away, a smile unconsciously curving her lips.
