Chapter 99 The greatest joy in life is simple pleasure
Jiang Qingying woke up groggily, just as the movie was ending. She got up, stretched, and loosened her muscles.
"Qingying," Lu Jinyuan called to her.
Jiang Qingying: "What's wrong?"
"Legs." Lu Jinyuan glanced down and said helplessly, "You've been pressing down on me for the whole movie, my legs are numb."
What does "I bet on you for the whole movie" mean? That sounds a bit ambiguous.
Jiang Qingying chuckled, quickly moved her leg down, glanced at him, and lightly tapped his thigh a few times with her loose fist. "Sorry."
Lu Jinyuan moved the leg that she had been pressing down on. The blood had been stagnant for a long time, and it felt tingly and numb, like ants biting him. "It's okay, it'll be fine after a while."
Jiang Qingying hummed in agreement. "Was the movie good?"
"Not bad," Lu Jinyuan replied calmly.
"What was it about?" Jiang Qingying suddenly felt curious. To her shame, she had watched the movie twice and still didn't know what the story was about.
"..." Lu Jinyuan's expression froze slightly, and he remained silent for a long while before saying, "I've fallen asleep too."
"Huh?" Jiang Qingying looked puzzled.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Lu Jinyuan quickly changed the subject. "Let's eat."
Jiang Qingying thought about it and her stomach suddenly started to rumble with hunger. "I want to eat hot pot."
Lu Jinyuan readily agreed.
Eating hot pot usually leaves you smelling like hot pot, so when we got back to the hotel that night, Lu Jinyuan said he would wash Jiang Qingying's hair.
Jiang Qingying slumped on the sofa, lazily raising her eyes to look at him, "I feel like you actually enjoy washing my hair."
“Indeed.” Lu Jinyuan pulled her up and led her into the bathroom.
Jiang Qingying watched him undress her, and suddenly became interested. Her slender, white fingers teased his chest, and her voice trailed off like a hook: "How about we wash later?"
Lu Jinyuan held the clothes he had just taken off for her, his hand pausing in mid-air. He looked at her quietly for a moment, then casually placed the clothes on the washstand.
"Aren't you tired today?"
"I'm not tired. I took a nap at noon and then slept for a while at the movie theater. I'm still quite energetic."
After saying that, Jiang Qingying clung to him, ignoring his reaction, and kissed him all over as if pressing his head down.
The bathroom was hard and wet everywhere. Afraid that she would fall, Lu Jinyuan had no choice but to carry her out, put her on the bed, and kiss her passionately.
Jiang Qingying hooked her arm around his neck and tilted her head back to respond to him. During the kiss, her hands began to wander, tearing open his white shirt and reaching inside to explore.
Lu Jinyuan felt a surge of heat coursing through his body, a burning desire quickly gathering in his waist and abdomen. He could barely contain his urges, and his movements became increasingly rapid, yet he was afraid of hurting her, given her current physical condition. However, the woman beneath him seemed to know his inner turmoil and was deliberately teasing him.
Lu Jinyuan opened his eyes, which were filled with lust, and stared at her. "Be good, don't do this."
"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Qingying feigned innocence with an unexpectedly pure look, and her soft voice went straight to his soul, almost destroying all his reason.
Lu Jinyuan was extremely impatient. He knew she was doing it on purpose, but he still couldn't help falling into her trap. He held back from going crazy, and the next second he saw her pink knees lift up and rub against his crotch a few times, while she also made a few moaning sounds in response.
"Hurry up..." she said, squeezing out two tears.
Lu Jinyuan lowered his head and bit her shoulder, his voice hoarse and unnatural.
"Honey, help me cool down first."
He couldn't just come directly, otherwise things might get out of control and end up hurting her and the baby. So he could only coax her and call her by a more affectionate name than "wife" for the first time.
She was initially unlikely to agree, wanting to play with him a little longer. But when he called her "baby," she couldn't take it anymore.
......
As night deepened and the stars hung high in the sky, the summer evening breeze still carried a dry heat, making the room feel like an oven, and the temperature remained high for a long time.
Finally, after the woman's sobs and the man's muffled groans, a moment of peace and tranquility returned.
Lu Jinyuan leaned against the headboard, embracing Jiang Qingying tenderly, his hand resting on her stomach, and asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Qingying leaned back against him, shook her head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "No, I'm just a little tired."
"That's good." Lu Jinyuan stroked her face with his fingertips, then lowered his head to kiss her lightly. "Go take a shower, then go to bed early."
"Hmm..." Jiang Qingying was reluctant, and for some reason she was unusually clingy to him tonight, tightly hugging his arms that were wrapped around her chest, "Wait a little longer."
"Um?"
"Let's chat for a while."
Lu Jinyuan was surprised, and chuckled, "What do you want to talk about?"
Jiang Qingying smiled, "Actually, I've been thinking about a name for the baby lately."
"Have you thought it through?" Lu Jinyuan asked.
Jiang Qingying focused her gaze on her slightly protruding pregnant belly, her eyes softening instantly. "Jiaqing."
Lu Jinyuan was silent for a few seconds, then repeated himself and asked, "Will you take my surname?"
Jiang Qingying frowned, finding his question absurd. "Then what? Take my surname?"
“It’s not impossible.” Lu Jinyuan said nonchalantly, “Jiajin, Jiayuan thinks it sounds good too.”
Jiang Qingying was stunned. She felt that he didn't seem to be joking, so she thought about it for a while and said, "I'll take your surname."
Lu Jinyuan pinched her chin with his long fingers, making her turn her head to look at him. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and he had a half-smile on his face.
Jiang Qingying shifted her gaze, "I just think the character 'Qing' in my name sounds nice and has a good meaning."
Lu Jinyuan agreed: "That's true."
Jiang Qingying said, "My father told me before that the name 'Qingying' in my name comes from the line 'Dancing with the shadows, how like being in the human world.' He hoped that I would live a carefree and free life."
Lu Jinyuan's warm breath brushed against her ear as he echoed, "You are indeed like that too."
“Hmm.” Jiang Qingying drawled out her words, then smiled and said, “But I think Jiang Qingying’s ‘qing’ is a clear-headed ‘qing’, a ‘qing’ that is pure while the world is muddy.”
Jiang Qingying suddenly raised her voice excitedly, "Moreover, 'Qing' can be used by either a girl or a boy. If it's a girl, I'd like to use the 'Jia' from 'Jianjia', and if it's a boy, I'd use the 'Jia' from 'Jiajiang'."
"It can only be the 'jia' in 'jianjia', there is no other possibility."
"......"
“I hope our child is ‘Qing’ in ‘Qinghuan’ (meaning ‘pure’ or ‘joyful’),” Lu Jinyuan said softly. “A simple joy, a peaceful life, a warm home, and delicious food. She can be outstanding or ordinary, as long as she plays happily, learns well, is healthy and free from illness, and grows up safely and happily.”
The greatest joy in life is simple pleasure.
"Hmm." Lu Jinyuan let out a long sigh, then said in a low voice, "Actually, the most precious thing in this world is the word 'pure joy'."
Jiang Qingying smiled, tilted her head back, and kissed his chin.
"Aren't you happy now?" she said in a coaxing tone. "You're holding such a big Qingying in your arms, and there's also little Jiaqing. As for 'joy,' aren't you happy right now?"
Lu Jinyuan's eyes curved into a smile, overflowing with love, his heart and eyes filled with her. "With you and Jiaqing, I have the most precious thing in this world."
He added, "I love you."
