Chapter 79 Kiss me again, Bubble
He was not at all shy. He put the tablet between them and wanted to read the novel with her. Chu Shuang was startled and took the tablet away.
"What?"
"It's weird to read romance novels with you."
Sheng Ting thought she was reading a literary novel.
She didn't want to watch it anymore, and he didn't force her.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Um?"
"You've been so quiet these past two days, have you encountered any problems in your life or work?" The man's dark pupils were deep, and he looked at her with a firm gaze, "Or did I do something wrong and affect you?"
Hatsushimo played with the sheets with her fingers, and after a while asked, "Is this just a temporary marriage, or is it for a lifetime?"
Sheng Ting frowned slightly and looked into her clear eyes, not quite sure why she asked such a question.
"In your eyes, is marriage a joke?"
She shook her head.
"If this is not a joke, why would you call it a temporary marriage?"
Sheng Ting spoke each word calmly and steadily: "I'm not aiming for a lifetime, do you think marriage is fun?"
"That means... you will be faithful and responsible in this marriage, right?"
"yes."
Seeing that he was so determined, Chu Shuang paused for a moment and then asked, "What if you meet someone you really like in the future?"
"No way, no way." The man said firmly, but his eyes were a little unhappy. "You met someone you like and you still want a divorce?"
"No, I don't like any."
Although he got the answer he wanted, Sheng Ting still felt a little unhappy, and he didn't know where this feeling came from.
Suppressing his displeasure, he stared at her and spoke slowly: "Mrs. Sheng will only be you."
"I'm yours too."
Although he was saying something ambiguous, his eyes were so deep that they seemed to be asserting his sovereignty.
Perhaps what he meant was that the host and guest should be reversed.
Chu Shuang chuckled and looked him in the eye, "Are you sure it will be me from now on?"
"Well, that's you."
Sheng Ting always has this ability. When he looks into his deep gaze, he can't help but want to believe him.
When four eyes meet, silence is better than words.
Chu Shuang's fingers shrank slightly, and her heart suddenly felt a little happy.
By the time she reacted, she had already leaned over and kissed the man's cheek.
At a close distance, one can clearly see the texture of his skin, and the tiny soft hairs become clear at the bottom of his eyes. His line of sight goes up and sinks into a dark pool.
Sheng Ting stared at her silently, his eyes slightly lowered, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, looking restrained and calm.
Hatsushimo was burned by that gaze and stepped back slightly to find his tablet.
The man watched her every move, his Adam's apple slowly rolled.
A crack appeared in my heart, and sunlight seeped in through the crack.
It feels quite strange.
"Just kiss here?" he said in a hoarse voice.
"Bubbles?"
Chu Shuang was defeated and said with a smile: "Don't shout like that."
Sheng Ting held her over and looked up at her clean face. He spoke slowly and in a low voice, "Why can't I scream? Others can scream but I can't?"
Hatsushimo stopped talking, a smile on his lips, "Kiss me again, Bubble."
He smiled very lewdly, and Chu Shuang, who was obsessed with looks, couldn't resist the temptation. Under the man's gaze, she grabbed his sleeve and kissed him.
This time I kissed her thin lips.
When I looked away again, the smile on his lips had disappeared, replaced by a dark and dangerous look.
Before he could get completely away, someone pushed the back of his head forward.
His kiss was not as light as hers, but rather violent, direct and passionate.
As the lights were turned off, Hatsushimo felt one of her shoulder straps being pulled off.
It had been a while since we had been this intimate, and Hatsumei was not used to it, so she breathed in big gulps of the fresh air.
The time of intimacy was not short. Her little life had just ended, and Sheng Ting knew that it was not the right time, so he restrained his enthusiasm.
Finally, he went to the bathroom again and came back feeling cool.
Hatsushimo's ears were hot, and he slept quietly on the side without any communication.
The bedroom was quiet for a while, and then a low sigh was heard in the silence.
At first I thought it was a coincidence, but after a while I heard a few shallow sighs.
That sigh contained a strong desire... unsatisfied desire. Chu Shuang understood what it meant. Her ears and heart felt hot after hearing it.
——
A few days later, Chu Shuang's family came to the imperial capital from Guiyun.
The elders went to the Sheng family with rich gifts to make amends and propose marriage, and the scene was so grand that it showed how much they valued Sheng Yao.
Her marriage with Shen Jinyan was settled.
After the marriage proposal was made, the elders came to Qingyu Garden and stayed for a day. Seeing that Hatsushuang was doing well, they felt relieved and returned after three days.
Madam Sheng warmly invited them to spend a lively New Year together in the imperial capital, but the elders also rejected Guiyun's invitation on the grounds that they were busy with family affairs during the New Year.
The company was very busy before the New Year, and Chushuang was very busy every day in order to have a leisurely New Year holiday. Finally, with the unremitting efforts of her and her colleagues, they successfully saved more than two weeks of manuscripts, which were enough for serialization during the Spring Festival.
Regarding the new comic, perhaps the manager had an influence, and Sun Mengzhu promised not to change people. Anyway, we will start serializing it when we return to the company at the beginning of the new year, so there is no need to rush.
After finishing everything, Chushuang felt relaxed. The day before the annual holiday, the company held a year-end summary meeting and distributed generous year-end bonuses.
On the way home, she took out a big red envelope to share her joy with Sheng Ting, and generously said she would treat him to dinner.
Sheng Ting thought she was going to invite him to a high-end restaurant, but when he got there, he saw it was a skewer barbecue restaurant.
Chu Shuang ordered a lot, so much that Sheng Ting felt that the two of them couldn’t finish it.
"Why order so much?"
"Eat more meat," Hatsushimo flipped through the large handful of grilled meat in front of him, "You won't be able to eat it after today."
She also ordered some soju to go with the grilled meat and lettuce, and she ate it with relish.
"When I was little, my brother loved taking me to eat barbecue. I couldn't eat fatty food, so I always asked him to help me."
Chu Shuang lowered her eyes with a smile in her eyes, "Actually he doesn't like to eat it either, but he thinks it's a waste. Since I don't eat it, he has to eat it."
"It's the same when I eat eggs. He is always the one who solves my egg yolks."
She spoke slowly, and the atmosphere around her was extremely quiet. Sheng Ting just listened to her quietly.
She ate a lot of meat today, and Sheng Ting finished all the meat she thought she couldn't finish.
Maybe she drank a little too much soju, on the way back she leaned back in her seat and tilted her head to look out the window.
The roadside was decorated with lights and colors, the whole way was bright red. The first frost watched silently without blinking, and was quietly blown away by the night wind.
“It’s Chinese New Year again.”
——
When I went back to Guiyun for the New Year, I had to bring gifts for my family, one for each person. I spent a lot of time shopping for the gifts. After I had everything ready, I returned to Guiyun on the 25th of the Lunar New Year.
The Shen family compound had already been decorated with festive lanterns, and when they arrived, their little nephew was playing with toys on a stone table in the alley.
Hatsushimo, wearing a mask and a hat, walked up to the little boy, handed him a box of cookies, and said in a changed voice, "Little boy, go play with auntie, and I'll take you to buy toys."
The original intention was to test whether the kid would go with a stranger. The kid turned around and looked at the tall strange aunt, then slowly sighed.
"Aunt, you are so childish."
The 3-year-old child, who was still breastfeeding, accused her of being childish in a condescending manner. Chu Shuang's eyebrows were curved with smiles, and she picked the child up and touched his forehead affectionately.
"My goodness, now you can recognize my aunt. You are so smart."
Yuanyuan took off her hat and mask, and saw her sister-in-law's face as she wished, her eyes smiling into little crescents.
"I knew you would be back today. Grandpa told me."
"So you were waiting for me outside?"
"Yes, I want to be the first one to see my aunt."
