◎When they slept, Qin Yue brushed her belly expectantly◎
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
Looking at Qin Zhiyi, whose eyes were red, Song Shixi subconsciously glanced at Qin Yue. Seeing his expression as calm as if this was perfectly normal, she opened her mouth, feeling annoyed and unable to utter polite words like "It's okay" or "It doesn't matter." After two seconds of hesitation, she finally said dryly, "Let's go up first."
After she finished speaking, Qin Zhiyi seemed to be relieved. He glanced at her again and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Yue was about to respond, but he caught a glimpse of several staff members approaching from a distance. He softened his voice and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll explain the situation and then be back."
After saying this, he walked towards the front desk.
Suddenly, only Song Shixi and Qin Zhiyi were left there, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
An unknown amount of time passed. Seeing Qin Yue finally finishing his negotiations with the security guards and about to return, Song Shixi finally relaxed her tense body. At that moment, Qin Zhiyi suddenly raised his head again, met her eyes, and whispered, "I won't tell my mom or them."
Hearing this, Song Shixi raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Qin Zhiyi, but she turned around in advance and avoided her sight.
Noticing the tips of Qin Zhiyi's ears and the back of her neck gradually turning red, Song Shixi was silent for a few seconds before saying sincerely, "Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a warm hand on his shoulder, "Let's go home."
The three of them took the elevator upstairs and came out in such a hurry that they didn't even close the door. However, with the design of one apartment per elevator and the fact that it was a high-end residential complex, the owners wanted peace and quiet and lived their lives behind closed doors. Usually, no one came, let alone at this time, so the house was the same as it was when they left.
Now that he was exposed, Song Shixi had no intention of returning to the guest bedroom. Thinking about what Qin Zhiyi had just said, he hesitated for two seconds, then went into the kitchen and made everyone a cup of lemon mint honey water, which could clear away heat, detoxify, and moisten the throat.
I guess everyone talked a lot tonight except her.
After Song Shixi finished brewing the tea, she asked Qin Yue to bring it in to Qin Zhiyi. She sat on the sofa holding the cup and drank it in small sips. When Qin Yue came back, she had already drunk almost half a cup.
"I made some for you, too."
Qin Yue originally didn't like drinking these fancy drinks, but after following Song Shixi for some time, he sorted out his bad habit and gradually found it interesting.
“It’s delicious.”
She had deliberately put ice cubes in the cup she gave him. It was cool and sweet, with the right balance of sour and sweet. He drank it in one gulp before putting it down. Then he sat down, buried his chin in the crook of her neck, rubbed it twice, and his warm breath fell on her neck.
"Stop it, it's itchy."
Song Shixi shrank her shoulders, avoiding his head that was rubbing against her, and gave him a coquettish look in annoyance.
She was still holding the cup in her hand, and was afraid that his movements would spill it, so she quickly leaned over and put it on the coffee table. Some condensation from the ice water on the wall of the cup was on her hand. She looked around but didn't find any tissue, so she simply wiped it all on his clothes. He would take them off and wash them later anyway.
Qin Yue was not angry at being treated as a rag. Instead, he carefully observed her expression. Seeing that she seemed normal, he felt uncomfortable. He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. His voice was dry: "Wife, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged by what happened today."
Hearing Qin Yue's words, Song Shixi was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "How could I be so fragile?"
She did feel a little uncomfortable at first, and since she had never encountered such a situation before, she felt an indescribable irritation deep in her heart. Later, Qin Zhiyi apologized to her and promised not to "tell on her", so she didn't take it seriously.
Thinking of something, Song Shixi turned around, looked straight at him, raised the corner of his lips and said, "I'm so happy that you're standing by me and protecting me."
She didn't hear the entire conversation between Qin Yue and Qin Zhiyi, only a few words were heard vaguely, but she could guess roughly that he was firmly protecting her from beginning to end. Although he was just talking about the facts, this feeling still made her feel a little dizzy.
So no matter what, her mood improved, otherwise why would she make water for them to drink?
Qin Yue stroked her back with his big hand, his eyes darkened a little. She was alone in this world, coming all alone. If he didn't stand by her, he would be unworthy of being a human being.
He will always be her support throughout her life and will not leave her alone.
The living room was silent. Qin Yue didn't say anything, but Song Shixi understood his attitude from his eyes. Her eyelashes trembled and her nose felt a little sore. She nestled in his arms, listening to the resounding heartbeat, and her heart calmed down.
*
The two of them chatted on the sofa for a long time last night. She didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was almost twelve o'clock. Perhaps because he knew she didn't have work today, Qin Yue didn't wake her up and let her have a good sleep.
After washing up and coming out of the room, Song Shixi subconsciously glanced at Qin Zhiyi's room. The door was closed, and he could neither see nor hear any movement inside. The whole house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Song Shixi drank a glass of milk by herself first, and then called Qin Yue. She learned from him that Qin Zhiyi had left early this morning.
"Schools are about to start again, so it's normal for her to go back now."
Song Shixi nodded and said, "I'll be going back tomorrow after I finish filming."
"Aren't there still four days before school starts? Can't you play for two more days and go back on time then?" Qin Yue immediately changed his tone, becoming a completely different person from before.
"Qiuhong resigned in the past two days, so we arranged to go climb the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City with a few classmates."
This matter was confirmed yesterday afternoon. Song Shixi originally wanted to tell Qin Yue about it in the evening, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by an accident. Now is a good time to say it.
"What classmate?" Qin Yue pretended to be calm, but his voice unconsciously rose a lot, revealing some of his true emotions.
Song Shixi held up his chin, a slight smile on his face, "I know it's me, Qiuhong, Huili, Gao Xunian, and Huili's childhood friend."
Qin Yue keenly grasped the key point and said in a stern tone, "A group of female comrades, what is Gao doing getting involved? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Who said he's the only gay man?" Song Shixi pretended not to hear the surge of jealousy. "Qiuhong might also bring her boyfriend along."
Qiuhong called me yesterday mainly to talk about making an appointment to play together, but she accidentally let it slip, so she asked me about it indirectly.
Only then did she know that Qiuhong was with that Brother Ye. They had just confirmed their relationship three days ago. Qiuhong was embarrassed to say it and had wanted to wait until she returned home to tell her, but she didn't expect it to be exposed like this.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi couldn't help but wonder who this Brother Ye was. He actually warmed Qiuhong's heart that was only focused on learning.
"Then I'll go too." Qin Yue replied hurriedly.
If it was just a girls' party, he would definitely not interfere, but now he knew that not only Gao Xunian was going, but even her friend's boyfriend was going, so he had nothing to worry about.
Besides, he had originally planned to send her back personally and accompany her to the start of school.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes. If Qiuhong's boyfriend also goes, I'll agree to let you go." Song Shixi knew Qin Yue would say that, and had planned to stop him.
As expected, Qin Yue shut up obediently. The two agreed to have dinner together at home in the evening, and then hung up the phone.
Song Shixi lay lazily on the sofa and looked at the cooperation projects thrown by various companies, big and small, during this period. He circled the ones that looked good and discarded the rest.
She watched for a while, waited for the lunch delivery person to come, and then ate first. After eating, she continued to watch. Before she knew it, it was time to get off work. Qin Yue came back with a big bag of food and her favorite rock sugar water.
When handing it to her, he patted her waist and warned her: "Don't eat it all, isn't your period coming soon?"
Although he said that, his eyes were staring at her belly obscurely.
Hearing this, Song Shixi, who had been busy for a while, finally remembered this matter and subconsciously looked at her lower abdomen. She had never suffered any hardship in this regard. No matter how much cold, sweet or spicy food she ate, she would not suffer from dysmenorrhea.
And if...
Thinking of that possibility, Song Shixi couldn't help but pursed her lips, raised her eyelids and looked at Qin Yue again, and noticed the expectation flickering in his eyes.
But there was only one night between the two of them, so the probability of "winning" was actually very low.
But she didn't want to pour cold water on Qin Yue at this time, so she responded vaguely and went to the dining table with the rock sugar water. At home, she was only wearing a knee-length pajamas, with her long legs exposed and her skin glowing white.
When the weather is hot, you should eat something cool and refreshing like this. As I ate, mouthful after mouthful, I forgot what Qin Yue said and only remembered it when I was almost done.
Looking at the almost empty bowl, Song Shixi licked his lips guiltily. After thinking for a moment, he took the bowl to the kitchen as if to hide his mistake. He quickly said, "I'll pour out the leftovers. Remember to wash the dishes."
Then he quickly slipped out of the kitchen, not giving Qin Yue time to react.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Qin Yue's face, but he turned a blind eye and did not expose her clumsy lie.
After the two finished their meal, they felt like going downstairs for a walk to help digest their food. After walking for more than ten minutes, Song Shixi couldn't stand the mosquitoes that kept popping up, so she pulled Qin Yue upstairs.
I don’t know if it was because of the topic mentioned during the day, but when sleeping at night, Qin Yue’s big hand slid down rarely, from the two soft lumps to the flat belly. The warm palm pressed against the skin, and soon it became sweaty and a little sticky.
Song Shixi couldn't sleep because of him. She opened her eyes in the darkness, put her hand on him, and asked softly, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Perhaps knowing that he had disturbed her, Qin Yue withdrew his hand awkwardly and rubbed the back of her neck, "Go to sleep."
Seeing that he had really calmed down, Song Shixi moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.
The filming task in cooperation with Hualan Culture only had the finishing work left. After Song Shixi completed it easily, he went home to pack up his things and prepare to return to Beijing.
Most of the things bought in Shenzhen and Hong Kong during this period are for summer. As autumn is approaching, most of them will not be used. Song Shixi did not plan to bring too much luggage back. He only packed up the things that can be used in all seasons and had someone send them back to Beijing. As for the others, they were temporarily left at home.
After finishing their work, Song Shixi and Qin Yue flew back to Beijing.
After landing, Song Shixi found out that Qin Yue had secretly booked a house for her near the school, a small Western-style building and an apartment, and he quickly took her to see the houses.
It must be said that some resources are indeed not circulated. The agency that Song Shixi found is also a leading company in the industry, but the houses they have are not even half as good as those Qin Yue has prepared.
"They are all for sale or rent. If you like them, we will buy them and put your name on them."
Qin Yue was wearing an indigo suit today, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The sunlight shone on him, making him look tall, with broad shoulders and back, and an air of nobility all over his body. When he said this, his tone was flat, as casual as buying a pancake on the roadside.
Song Shixi once again envied and hated his wealth in her heart, but did not say anything at the first time. Instead, she walked around the apartment and finally stood next to Qin Yue. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see half of her school. From here, she could walk out of the community gate for ten minutes to reach her company.
Such a unique location will attract everyone.
She was silent for a long time, and Qin Yue's heart was beating fast. After thinking for a while, he touched the tip of his nose and added, "Didn't I promise to give you a house? Consider it an advance."
Hearing this, Song Shixi was stunned, and immediately remembered what Qin Yue said in the ward.
"As long as you behave yourself, after you graduate from college, I will have someone arrange a house and some money for you so that you can live a wealthy life."
All of this was conditional, but unexpectedly it is now developing in the completely opposite direction and has been realized one by one.
Song Shixi looked at his slender fingers hooked around her little finger and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She laughed unabashedly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. Qin Yue's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and he couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms, humming softly, "Anyway, I don't want you to go back to live in Qingyun Street anymore."
After he finished speaking, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I just want the two of us to live together, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything."
Song Shixi understood instantly and gave him a cold look. Still feeling unsatisfied, she reached out and twisted the soft flesh on his waist, but only felt hard abdominal muscles.
"Head full of yellow garbage."
Qin Yue did not deny it, nor did he avoid her hand. He even grabbed her and touched her inside her clothes. His deep eyes flashed with an indescribable light, and his voice was low and hoarse, "Well, please."
Facing his handsome face with sharp edges, how could Song Shixi say no? Moreover, when it came to money, they were already inseparable. If she coyly refused, it would seem like she wanted both. It would be better to agree openly and make both of them happy.
Besides, what's his is hers, so what's there to be entangled or hesitant about?
Anyway, they will never be separated in this life.
"Yeah." The moment she nodded, the matter was settled.
However, Song Shixi was hesitant between the two, because she felt that both the small villa and the apartment were good and each had its own advantages. Finally, considering the safety and privacy, she decided to choose the small villa.
Song Shixi did not give up the house on Qingyun Street, and left it to Assistant Zhao as a dormitory.
The new house still needs cleaning and new furniture, so it is impossible to move in before school starts. Song Shixi temporarily lives with Qin Yue. There is a driver to pick her up every day, so it is not particularly troublesome.
At the same time, she had also decided to learn to drive, but she was busy recently and probably wouldn't have time to go in the short term.
The day before school started, the agreed outing officially began. Song Shixi and Wu Qiuhong often met each other and did not feel unfamiliar with each other, but they were more or less uncomfortable with other people. However, the relationship was eased after the young people chatted about their recent situation.
Song Shixi then realized that Chen Huili had first gone to her grandparents' home in the countryside this summer, and then followed her mother to learn accounting. She had been stuck at home almost the entire summer. In her words, her skin had become a shade whiter because of the cover-up.
The childhood friend that Chen Huili brought with her was a girl with short hair that reached her ears. She had fair skin and a pure and lovely look. She was also a rare beauty. She spoke softly, was shy, and rarely spoke. But no one expected that she was studying law, the kind of profession that allows one to debate with others in court.
Song Shixi found it difficult to imagine that kind of scene.
Gao Xunian played ball with his friends everywhere, and was sometimes called to participate in friendly games. After not seeing him for more than a month, he looked a lot darker, but his personality was as talkative and lively as before. When the two met again, Song Shixi could clearly feel that he no longer had that kind of boyish admiration for her, and his behavior was graceful and elegant.
The two became friends.
In addition, what attracted everyone's attention most was another unfamiliar face brought by Wu Qiuhong. He was thin, with delicate features, gentle and elegant. He was humble and polite in his words and deeds, and always had a smile on his face, which made people feel comfortable looking at him.
Out of selfishness, Song Shixi couldn't help but secretly look at him a few more times, and noticed that he was always paying attention to Wu Qiuhong's mood. When climbing the stairs, he also stood behind her, handing her water and towels very naturally. Presumably, it was the same when the two of them were together.
Thinking of this, the big stone in my heart slowly fell back to its original place.
"What are you looking at?"
Qin Yue's voice rang in his ears, and Song Shixi's thoughts returned. He whispered his thoughts to him and then asked, "He is also from your company. Do you have any impression of him?"
Qin Yue subconsciously glanced at the young couple not far away, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "No."
There are so many people in his company, how can he remember them all?
Hearing this, Song Shixi was not surprised and quickly put it out of her mind. She focused all her attention on taking pictures. She took the camera, waited for a suitable position, and asked Qin Yue to help her take pictures. She also took a few pictures of everyone else as a souvenir.
However, the filming didn't last long before Song Shixi couldn't stand the heat anymore and asked Qin Yue to quickly fan her and hold up the umbrella to avoid getting her skin tanned or sunburned during the trip, which would be unprofitable.
The Great Wall is very long, and everyone brought food. We found a shady place, spread out blankets, and sat on the ground.
"It will be comfortable in autumn and winter."
Gao Xunian sat on a blanket, his short-sleeved shirt drenched in sweat, but a smile remained on his face. He wasn't afraid of the heat. Training, playing basketball, was it any less strenuous than this? He was used to it, and only mentioned it when he saw everyone sweating profusely.
"It's such a torture to go out and play in this weather." Chen Huili echoed, fanning herself desperately.
Everyone regretted choosing this time to climb the mountain.
Qin Yue frowned as he saw the strands of hair on Song Shixi's forehead getting wet. He fanned her harder and suggested, "How about we not go to the Forbidden City later? My friend opened a restaurant nearby. It's in the mountains, so we can play in the water and stay cool."
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other, obviously tempted. After all, they were all in Beijing and could go to the Forbidden City at any time. There was no need to spend a whole morning and then an entire afternoon sunbathing. However, they were not familiar with Qin Yue, so it was not easy to speak up at this moment.
In the end, Song Shixi acted as the middleman and made the final decision on this matter.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Song Shixi stood up impatiently and urged them to pack up, "Don't get sunburned here, let's go down the mountain."
Going down the mountain was much easier than going up. This time, Qin Yue drove a car, and Gao Xunian borrowed a car from his own factory.
Song Shixi was sitting in the passenger seat, looking through the photos taken on the Great Wall. After seeing Qin Yue's sour face, he almost laughed to death. He decided that after developing the photos, he must put them in the bedroom and look at them every day!
Qin Yue was driving, and the mountain road was rugged, so he had to be careful. He didn't notice Song Shixi's expression, but Wu Qiuhong in the back seat saw it and asked about it.
How could Song Shixi tease Qin Yue in front of him, so she glanced at that photo and turned around to show Wu Qiuhong the photo of her and Ye Yunzhou.
"It's a good shot, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Wu Qiuhong blushed and nodded. As soon as she nodded, Song Shixi handed her the camera and asked her to show it to Ye Yunzhou.
Looking through the rearview mirror, Song Shixi saw them huddling together and talking in low voices, and she curled her lips.
The restaurant Qin Yue was talking about was more like the farmhouses commonly seen in later generations, but it was a more upscale type. As soon as you entered the door, you would see a whole wall of roses and an archway woven with bamboo, which looked particularly romantic. Next to it were various vegetable fields where all kinds of vegetables and fruits were grown.
The car continued to drive inside and arrived at the door of a three-story self-built house with several cars parked nearby.
As soon as they parked in the parking lot, someone came to greet them. Qin Yue went up to negotiate with the other party, and soon everyone was welcomed into the gate. After a short rest, they could go to the back to play in the water, catch crabs, and pick vegetables...
Speaking of which, Song Shixi hasn't been to such a place for a long time. In her previous life, she was busy with work and flying around the world, so how could she experience this kind of farm life? Compared to her, other people were not so excited.
After all, we all went through hardships in that era when we were young, so we are not surprised by these things. However, it is still somewhat novel that such a thing can be turned into such a big business.
"I helped my grandma pick cucumbers and peppers in the countryside. My hands were almost broken and I didn't want to touch them anymore. And I'm being charged for helping them pick them here?" Chen Huili widened her eyes and lowered her voice deliberately for fear of being heard by others.
Song Shixi smiled and said, "Some people who have lived in the city since childhood have never been exposed to these things. They are definitely willing to spend money to experience them for the sake of novelty."
"I can't understand it." Chen Huili shook her head.
Wu Qiuhong, who was standing by, also said, "I can't understand it either."
Everyone talked a lot, drank a few sips of cold tea, and decided to go play by the river.
