13 Glory
A husband's virtue is a wife's glory.
Lin Xu hung up the phone.
The phone call came out of nowhere, and it even seemed like they were catching her in the act. She had no idea which lunatic had called. She must have been out of her mind to answer it while they were doing it; now she didn't know how to explain it to Lin Xu.
She carefully observed Lin Xu's expression, but it didn't change much; Lin Xu didn't seem to care.
I just don't know why he didn't get tired when he used too much force.
Xu Huaihuai wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
In that moment of hesitation, she lost her chance to speak and secure her sleep quality for the night.
"Sister Huai, please concentrate." She heard Lin Xu's somewhat helpless sigh.
After that, many things slipped out of her control.
The evening exchange activity, which was originally planned to last no more than two hours, was unilaterally extended by Lin Xu.
Sweat or other liquids mix together.
She finally came to her senses halfway through and said she was tired, that she had enough, and that she didn't want to do it anymore. Lin Xu either pretended not to hear her or agreed readily but then turned around and did it all over again.
It's not like I'm buying a drink! When you buy a drink, besides saying "come again" there's also a "thank you for your patronage" message!
But when she said her hand hurt, Lin Xu became very anxious and checked to see if he had pressed on her hand.
Xu Huaihuai belatedly realized that she might have been retaliated against, but she had no words to express her suffering and simply did not have the strength to speak up and maintain her sleep quality.
She fainted once and then woke up in a daze. She could tell that her nightgown had been changed to a clean one and her skin no longer felt sticky from cold sweat. How could she be so meticulous and considerate while ignoring her requests?
Lin Xu had only turned on a small nightlight while changing the bandage on her hand. She gently drew a heart on Lin Xu's palm with her finger. "Lin Xu, could you please not..."
Lin Xu closed his palms, as if kneading the love that had left no trace into his flesh and blood. He looked at Xu Huaihuai's dazed face, pulled the blanket up for her, turned off the night light, and lay down next to her. His voice was very soft, as if coaxing her to sleep, "Sleep."
Having received the promise again, and unable to resist her weariness any longer, Xu Huaihuai quickly fell asleep.
But she had a super, incredibly terrifying dream.
For some reason, Lin Xu appeared in her dream as soon as she got into bed. In the dream, Lin Xu held her hand tenderly and shook it, then nestled against her chest like a little bird. He shyly confessed, "Sister Huai, I want to stay by your side, even if it's as a massage stick."
Holy crap! How tacky!
Xu Huaihuai woke up in fright. How could she have such a dream!
She sat up in shock, a sharp pain shooting through her lower back—it felt like she'd been hunched over her computer for over ten hours straight, working on a proposal. Xu Huaihuai revealed a pained expression, "My back..."
The culprit gently touched her waist from behind, rested his face on her shoulder, and obediently admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Sister Huai."
This guy is still here, and he seems to have been awake for a long time. Xu Huaihuai, who had just opened her eyes, wanted to close them again.
Xu Huaihuai could only sigh in the end, "What's there to apologize for? I brought this on myself. I'm the one who should be saying sorry."
She went to wash up, supporting her back.
After washing up, she couldn't run away anymore; she should give Lin Xu an explanation.
Lin Xu was on the balcony answering a phone call. Xu Huaihuai didn't listen in because the door was closed, but judging from his expression, it probably wasn't a pleasant conversation.
After thinking for a moment, she poured herself a glass of warm water and waited for him to finish his call.
The warm water had turned cold, and Lin Xu finally hung up the phone. Xu Huaihuai took another cup and handed it to him, "Want some?"
Lin Xu took the glass, took a sip, and looked at her with amusement. "You seem more nervous. Do you need me to get you a glass of water to calm your nerves?"
This person is really something! Just keep it to yourself, why bother saying it out loud!
"I'll answer it myself!" Xu Huaihuai firmly refused someone.
Xu Huaihuai took a few sips of water and was indeed less nervous. "Lin Xu, I lost control of my emotions yesterday. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used your feelings to force you."
Lin Xu pondered the word "forced." Is this how it's used?
"I'm so sorry, really!"
Xu Huaihuai had already started bowing when Lin Xu grabbed her arm, stopping her. "Doesn't your back hurt anymore?"
"It hurts, but what can I do when I did something bad?" Xu Huaihuai sighed, clutching her lower back.
“First of all, I don’t think it’s forced,” Lin Xu pressed her down on the sofa, staring into her momentarily flustered eyes. “It’s an honor to be needed by you.”
"Secondly, Xu Huaihuai, being able to make love with you is a reward in itself."
Xu Huaihuai avoided eye contact. "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, can you please not talk about things that are inappropriate for children..."
"I'm serious." Lin Xu rested his head against Xu Huaihuai's chest. "Sister Huai, please don't say sorry, and please don't say we can break up, okay?"
Oh my god, Xu Huaihuai seemed to see a dejected little dog. She gently touched the top of Lin Xu's head. Boys this age usually have thick and fluffy hair. "Hey, Lin Xu."
"Um?"
Does your family have a baldness gene?
“…No.” Lin Xu raised his face. “You weren’t even listening to me.”
"I'm listening..." Xu Huaihuai's words trailed off as she saw Lin Xu's slightly red eyes, and alarm bells immediately went off in her mind!
Ahhh! Oh my god, oh my god! A man's tears! And the tears of a handsome man!
This is something that only a few women in the world can handle, as strong as steel and as fierce as an eagle.
"What are you doing, Lin Xu? No, who told you to use a melodramatic script? No, are you serious?" Xu Huaihuai looked at the tears falling on the back of her hand in disbelief. The warm tears had a strong penetrating power, burning her heart.
"I'm about to be used and then abandoned, it's only natural to cry, right? Sister Huai, you must have a whole set of excuses in mind to fob me off..." Lin Xu said, her face slightly cold, but she still stood very close to Xu Huaihuai.
For a moment, it seemed as if the aroma of tea filled the air.
But how could Lin Xu be that kind of manipulative guy? It must be my imagination.
Xu Huaihuai watched this man with such a cold face and tears, thinking to herself, "It's just an illusion, an illusion."
“I didn’t abandon you. I never said I was going to abandon you, did I?” Xu Huaihuai hooked the necklace around Lin Xu’s neck with her left hand. It wasn’t there yesterday. Following the necklace, she saw the mole under Lin Xu’s collar.
"..." It seems like I've been hooked. I'm not sure. Let me take another look.
Lin Xu stuffed the necklace back in and tucked in her collar to shield herself from Xu Huaihuai's lustful gaze. "Not giving up means taking responsibility. Sister Huai, have you thought about how you're going to take responsibility for me?"
Xu Huaihuai hesitated for a moment: "...Give you the bank card password?"
A zero-point answer, a precise misstep.
Lin Xu's expression instantly became indescribable.
Wasn't the message on his face, "I don't need a lot of money, but I need a lot of Xu Huaihuai's love," clear enough?
Before he could finish preparing for another wave of tears, Xu Huaihuai spoke again, "Boyfriend, is it okay to be a boyfriend?"
Lin Xu didn't speak.
But if Xu Huaihuai got any closer, she could hear his heart pounding.
"Can't we...?" Xu Huaihuai's voice trailed off, "Marriage really isn't an option. Getting married after just one night makes it seem like we're old-fashioned and feudal..."
"So you've even thought about marriage, girlfriend," Lin Xu whispered in Xu Huaihuai's ear. "Then, maybe sleeping together a few more times..."
"No!" For a moment, she didn't know whether to be shocked by Lin Xu's natural acceptance of the change of identity, or by the tears that disappeared so quickly. Only a trace of red under-eye bags showed a hint of the emotions her owner had just felt.
Lin Xu's eyes had completely changed; the once vulnerable, aggrieved, and harmless look now held an open and blatant possessiveness.
Xu Huaihuai tried to push Lin Xu away, but how could she do it with just her left hand?
She had nowhere to hide and was kissed by Lin Xu.
Like a sudden storm.
Now that things have come to this, it seems there's nothing we can do but close our eyes.
The sensations are even more acute when the eyes are closed.
There was another person's warmth in my mouth, and our breaths filled our lips and teeth.
Xu Huaihuai was so overwhelmed by the kisses that she didn't even realize when she was straddling Lin Xu.
I was so close to his face.
Lin Xu touched the hem of her skirt, his eyes bright, love and desire clear and bright in them. "Is it alright?"
Xu Huaihuai didn't know how to describe Lin Xu's eyes. All she could think of was that he was like a large dog who had met his beloved Abebe, filled with longing, affection, and fascination.
She tried to get off him, supporting herself on her knees, but before she could take another step, his lips touched hers.
Xu Huaihuai shuddered, failing to get off Lin Xu and nearly pressing down on his neck instead.
"No, it's strange..." Xu Huaihuai's voice was very soft.
Lin Xu's kiss paused for only a moment. "Then, do you hate it?"
She doesn't dislike it.
Xu Huaihuai felt a little embarrassed to say it directly, so she could only say it more tactfully: "What if I press on your nose and ruin it..."
Lin Xu laughed, "Then let the nasal base designer sculpt another one."
As it turns out, the original nose bridge is indeed durable.
Lin Xu's nose was unharmed, only the tip was a little red, but he didn't care. As Xu Huaihuai turned her head to take out a wet tissue, she saw Lin Xu put a little unknown liquid on his fingertip and put it in his mouth.
"Lin Xu!" Xu Huaihuai angrily threw a wet wipe in his face, then wrapped herself in the blanket. "If you dare to kiss me later, you're dead."
"Wait a moment," Lin Xu said, happy to grant Xu Huaihuai's small request. He took the wet tissue and wiped the water off his cheeks, regaining his usual composure and showing no trace of his earlier infatuation. "Okay, Sister Huai, does your back still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. Stay away from me."
"Oh." Those cold words chilled him to the bone! Lin Xu touched his nose and walked away listlessly.
He went to the kitchen.
Xu Huaihuai rested on the sofa for a while, and only after feeling less weak did she go back to her room to change her clothes and tidy herself up.
"Is this lunch?"
"Hmm, breakfast time is over."
Did you pass? Wasn't it because someone wouldn't let go earlier?
Seemingly sensing her slight dissatisfaction, Lin Xu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Huai, if you're hungry, could you have some bread rolls and yogurt first?"
"I'm not that hungry." Xu Huaihuai watched Lin Xu skillfully wash and chop the vegetables, and couldn't help but hook her hand on the apron tie on his back. When it came undone, she tied it into a bow.
I was also inexplicably reminded of a saying: "A husband's virtue is a wife's glory."
