Chapter 49 "I raised him myself."
In this scorching summer, the air seemed to be filled with a sweet scent. They spent a period of time that was both cloying and reserved.
After the start of autumn, the nights turned cool. The average summer temperature in that era was lower than later, and the high temperatures did not last long. Therefore, even without ice to cool down, Lin Su did not feel hot at night and needed to cover herself with a small blanket.
The heat was all transmitted to her by Zhou Yunqi.
He likes to hold her while he sleeps, even if he's not doing anything else, just to keep her in his arms, saying it keeps her cool.
That man is very cunning.
He liked to hug and kiss her, he liked to hold her hand and play with it, or after waking up, he would deliberately rub against her... He used all his mischievous side in these ways, yet his facial expression was always serious, and he would gaze at her with deep affection, saying nothing, just silently watching her was enough.
If it weren't for the fact that he always managed to get her to snuggle into his arms and act cute, she would have punched him long ago.
Lin Su wanted to ask him why he was still holding back, but she was too embarrassed to ask him directly, as that would make her seem too eager.
We can only try to find reasons for him, guessing that perhaps he has his own rhythm.
One evening, the two of them bought some things outside and ate at a state-run restaurant before returning home. As they walked in an open space in the residential area carrying their purchases, they came across a group of people enjoying the cool evening air, including Aunt Wang from downstairs.
She called out from afar, "Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin."
Lin Su nodded to her and greeted her.
"Did you go to the department store after buying so much stuff?"
"Yes, it's been a while since I've been there. A batch of TV sets arrived today, and a lot of people are trying to grab them with their tickets," Lin Su said, recounting the exciting news.
Speaking of televisions, an aunt immediately chimed in: "Ugh, it makes me so angry. When the coupons were being distributed, I told my husband to pick them up after work, but he forgot. Otherwise, we could have watched TV at home."
One person scrutinized the handsome Zhou Yunqi with sharp eyes, wanting to ask him a question, but seeing his cold, clear, and aloof face, he dared not be presumptuous.
Lin Su didn't want to talk to them for too long, so she said, "We'll go upstairs first, you can continue your conversation."
Aunt Wang watched as the two figures walked together toward their building. The dim light shone on them, and the tall man took Lin Su's hand with his free hand. She couldn't help but shake her head and say, "They really look like a loving young couple. Although they haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet, they're already living together, but they don't care about that."
Some people said, "Why care? They've probably been together since their time as sent-down youth."
Someone lowered their voice and laughed, saying, "They don't like to draw the curtains when they're being affectionate. I've seen it twice. You have to admit, they're young."
"Being young is indeed a good thing, and we also caught up with the reform and opening up, and the atmosphere gradually became more open."
"..."
Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief once they entered the house and said, "Aunt Jian was watching you the whole time. She works at the neighborhood office, and it's a professional habit of hers; she always wants to find out everything about everyone."
Zhou Yunqi placed the things on the table: "No wonder."
“But she doesn’t dare to ask you. I think these aunties are quite afraid of you.” Lin Su smiled. “That’s good. If you were as easy to talk to as I am, they would definitely dig out every little thing in the house, no matter where it was.”
He asked, "Do you think it's a good thing that those people are wary of me?"
“Of course,” Lin Su took out the piece of fabric used to make curtains, “You’d be better off standing there cool and handsome, that’s what I like to see.”
"What's so good about it?"
"It allows people to have more fantasies. If it's like a 'friend of women,' I don't like it."
He chuckled and shook his head, then put some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar into the kitchen.
Lin Su held up the bamboo-green curtain to the window where clothes were drying and said with a smile, "If you want to kiss me here in the future, it's better to close the curtains."
Zhou Yunqi walked over: "Are you afraid someone will see you?"
"It's not that I'm scared, it's actually quite exciting. It's just that if someone sees it, they'll spread it everywhere. Those aunties are pretty familiar with each other, and they like to get together and gossip about other people's lives. Once I even heard them say that a family was going through a divorce."
He pulled her into his arms and patted her head: "Then let's draw the curtains from now on."
-
Time flew by and it was already mid-August. With the curtains in place, Lin Su felt a little safer.
However, ever since he installed the curtains, he has never kissed her by the window even once.
Yes, that's quite strange.
In the evening, Lin Su sat in front of the fan to dry her hair. Zhou Yunqi came over and helped her smooth her hair, saying that it was still a little damp. He then said, "Tomorrow I'm going to Shanghai on a business trip with my business partner, Li Mingcheng."
Lin Su turned to look at him: "Is it possible that your factory is built there?"
Zhou Yunqi's eyes were gentle, as if he were comforting her: "After considering all factors, it is more advantageous to build there, but this will not affect my future stay in Beijing. I am only an investor in this factory, and my share is not large. I will not manage its operation. It is just one of my businesses."
Lin Su asked curiously, "Besides this industry, are there any other businesses you plan to develop?"
He smiled and ruffled her hair: "Let's take it one step at a time. Many policies aren't fully open yet. Once we've saved up some capital in a few years, it'll be easier to do what we want."
Lin Su really didn't know in which field he would shine and become a big shot in the future. At present, investing in this joint venture candy factory is just the beginning for him. What he does in the future will depend on the development of the times.
So she responded and continued drying her hair.
When they turned off the lights to sleep, he held her and asked, "When will the acceptance letter come out?"
Lin Su said, "It should be in the latter half of the month."
Zhou Yunqi gently stroked her chin and face with his fingertips: "When I get back from my business trip, there may be good news."
Lin Su turned to the side and looked at him in the dim light: "How many days are you going to be gone?"
"It's hard to say right now. There are four of us. We'll fly there, and Mrs. Li will take a flight from Shanghai back to the United States. We'll stay there for at least three or four days."
"Oh." Lin Su did the math, and realized that the first batch of admission results might indeed be released when you come back.
Usually, the admission results for Tsinghua and Peking Universities are the first to be known. These two schools are so prestigious that not only the students but also the schools themselves want to produce as many students as possible who are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
He kissed her lips and said softly, "Don't miss me too much while I'm away."
Lin Su countered, "Then will you miss me?"
He paused for a moment, then said, "Of course."
After they finished speaking, they both fell silent. Even though he was only leaving for a few days, he was inexplicably filled with reluctance. There would be several more months of separation in September; how were they going to get through that?
Zhou Yunqi sighed inwardly.
They really shouldn't have gotten together so early.
Although the mere sight of her sitting there, breathing, was a temptation to him, he could endure it; he was used to it.
But he couldn't accept that she was also enduring it.
However, once two people are together and used to being affectionate, parting becomes an immense ordeal. Torn between two choices, he didn't know what to do with her.
Lin Su was unaware of what he was thinking; she simply said to him, "Zhou Yunqi, kiss me."
"Hmm," a deep voice replied.
Kissing and caressing her in the quiet night wasn't the first time, but this time it was tinged with a different kind of bittersweetness because of the impending short separation.
His hands were large, almost covering her entire face, and the calluses on his palms would occasionally scrape her delicate skin. Because of the forceful kisses, Lin Su's neck and collarbone were covered with his red finger marks over the past few days, disappearing only to be replaced by new ones.
Actually, he was also very young, and his skin was very fair. Although it wasn't snow-white, it was much fairer than most men's skin, and it felt very smooth to the touch.
This time, Lin Su finally took the initiative to stick out her tongue to tease his lips, and he immediately seized it.
After a long and passionate kiss, Lin Su finally broke free from his grasp, touched his neck, and then kissed his Adam's apple.
The man's deep voice came from his throat, and his breathing became noticeably heavier.
Lin Su lay on top of him, sticking out her tongue to lick him lightly, as if she were licking a piece of candy.
His heart sank like a stone thrown into water, until finally, unable to resist, he embraced her and pressed her down beneath him.
She didn't dare to press down too hard, afraid of hurting him. She braced herself with her hands on either side of her and whispered, "Shushu."
"?" Lin Su asked in her confusion.
"I want to kiss you," he said.
Lin Su was puzzled; wasn't he kissing her right now?
The last two words arrived belatedly: "All".
Lin Su paused for two seconds before reacting, and responded with a soft "Mm".
He placed a pillowcase directly over her face: "I've turned on the light."
The sudden bright light, which was covered by the pillowcase, not only obscured Lin Su's eyes but also her vision and the shyness on her face.
Zhou Yunqi pinched the hem of her pajamas, tugged at it, and helped her take them off. He also took the pillowcase off her face, and then saw her blushing face, her cheeks pink and alluring.
Zhou Yunqi's eyes darkened.
Lin Su was still embarrassed and covered her face with her hands.
He kissed her gently, then pulled her up to sit on his lap.
The silky touches and kisses made Lin Su feel as if her bones were melting.
Hearing his praise, Lin Su silently thought that he must be a very good connoisseur.
Later, as Lin Su lay flat, he gently stroked her face and coaxed her, "Don't be afraid."
She wasn't scared, just a little embarrassed.
He simply closed his eyes.
Therefore, a few seconds later, she did not see the man holding her slender ankle suddenly shrink his pupils and his Adam's apple bob heavily.
With just one glance, the man's breath caught in his throat.
It was even more beautiful and alluring than he had imagined, making his heart itch with desire.
The almost hoarse voice said, "It's beautiful."
Then she lowered her head and took it into her mouth.
Lin Su bit her lip, her breathing deep and becoming increasingly rapid.
Her hands were on Zhou Yunqi's head, clutching his hair, murmuring his name, and crying out "no," almost screaming for help.
But the more she said no, the more fiercely he sucked.
She was stunningly beautiful, like a rose that had just been drenched by wind and rain. He couldn't listen to her, and even as she gripped his scalp until it tingled, he didn't stop.
Her waist was suspended in mid-air, her thoughts scattered, and in a flash, the whole world seemed to be in the calm after a storm...
Lin Su lay flat on the bed and opened her eyes.
The handsome face drew closer, his eyes burning like fire, while Lin Su could only manage a weak, panting breath.
The man chuckled softly, hugged her, and stroked her hair.
"My Susu, so beautiful and so well-behaved." He then patted her gently. "I raised her myself."
Lin Su: "..."
