Chapter 53 From Hardcore Dating to Easy-to-Understand Everyday Romance
This whole ordeal lasted until evening.
When Jiang Sui got up, the sun was setting in the west, and a thin ray of light shone on the empty bed beside her.
Stepping out of the bedroom, Luo Yan stood in front of the kitchen island, fiddling with the juicer.
He walked over, put his arm around her waist from behind, and lazily rubbed his cheek against hers.
Luo Yan turned to look at him, then immediately turned away again. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Jiang Sui looked at his bare upper body with a puzzled expression, then looked at her.
"Isn't this my shirt you wearing?"
Luo Yan was taken aback. She remembered feeling dizzy when she got up and finding the dress troublesome to wear, so she grabbed Jiang Sui's shirt and put it on. The shirt was knee-length.
"Oh dear...you don't only have this one piece of clothing."
Jiang Sui smiled and turned her body to face him. "You look really good in my clothes."
Luo Yan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, but her heart was overflowing with sweetness.
Great, finally we don't have to play the spy game of "we are the innocent client and contractor" anymore.
She stuck out a finger and mischievously poked his abs.
"Hmm... I'm thinking, should I go to work on Monday to declare my ownership and let those people who spread rumors about me and Zhou Jiaqi see that the real deal is right here, and I'm officially licensed to work now?"
Jiang Sui grabbed her misbehaving hand: "What certificate?"
"A dating license!" Luo Yan said matter-of-factly. "Comrade Jiang Sui, I'm happy to inform you that after a rigorous review by the organization, you have successfully passed the political review and interview. You are approved to go from underground to aboveground. Does that mean you are licensed to practice?"
Jiang Sui chuckled, "So, how does Officer Luo plan to assess my qualifications for the position?"
"First, no passive-aggressive behavior..." Luo Yan held up a finger and shook it. "Second, no riddle games. Finally... regarding the male model, are there any details I don't know?"
Jiang Sui's ears turned slightly red, and she looked away: "There are no details."
"I don't believe it!" Luo Yan leaned closer. "Did you walk the runway? Did you take your clothes off? Did any rich women slip money into your waistband?"
"Comrade Luo Yan!" Jiang Sui couldn't bear it any longer and covered her mouth. "You're an upright civil servant, why are you so interested in this kind of thing?"
Luo Yan blinked, nodded obediently, and as soon as he let go of her hand, she immediately muttered softly, "Looks like it's stuffed in..."
Jiang Sui picked her up and placed her on the island counter.
"I'll take you to a healthy place tomorrow."
"Where? A hotel? A restaurant? An amusement park?" Luo Yan's eyes lit up. "Are we finally starting to go through the normal dating process?!"
"Let's go hiking."
"Hiking? Is it the kind of romantic activity where you walk hand in hand among blooming wildflowers, carry me when you get tired, and then kiss at the top of the mountain?"
Jiang Sui paused for three seconds: "More or less."
Luo Yan happily rubbed her hands together, hugged him, and kissed him repeatedly.
My first proper date ever! I'm so excited!
The next morning, when Jiang Sui dragged Luo Yan, who was still dreaming, out of bed, she realized that she had been looking forward to it too early.
"What are you doing..." she murmured sleepily, snuggling into his arms. "Not being allowed to sleep in on weekends violates labor laws..."
"Have you forgotten what we were supposed to do today? It's almost eight o'clock, and I've already let you sleep an extra half hour."
"..."
Self-disciplined people are scary, but having a self-disciplined boyfriend is even scarier.
Luo Yan reluctantly got up, her arm still draped over Jiang Sui, and opened her eyes a crack, chuckling, "I'm not awake yet, I can't walk, carry me."
Jiang Sui had no choice but to let her cling to him like a human pendant, her long hair draped over his shoulders, gently brushing his neck, and her hands restlessly slipping into his clothes.
"You'd better not be awake, otherwise..." He suddenly turned his head and gently bit her earlobe, his voice low, "We'll work overtime again tonight when we get back."
The hand that was kneading his pectoral muscles suddenly stopped and swiftly withdrew.
Two hours later, Luo Yan stood at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs, looking at the winding stone steps, her expression cracking.
"This is the... nice place you were talking about?"
"Hmm." Jiang Sui handed her a bottle of water. "A new trail has just been opened on the back of Luoxia Peak. The air is fresh and there are few people."
All the romantic candlelight dinners, holding hands in the movie theater, and kisses on the Ferris wheel that Luo Yan had been imagining vanished with a "snap."
She tried to argue: "Actually, I think dates could be taken to more...urban places?"
“I saw your medical report from last week, which showed that you have mild lumbar strain.” Jiang Sui said seriously, “Director Zheng said that the most physically demanding activity in your office is grabbing chicken legs in the cafeteria.”
Luo Yan: "......"
Old Zheng isn't usually a talkative person, so why did he have to tell everyone this?!
The hike began, and at first Luo Yan was still able to bounce around taking photos and posting them on her WeChat Moments, captioned: "[My first hiking date with my boyfriend~]". After two kilometers, she started tugging at Jiang Sui's clothes: "Shall we take a break? This rock looks quite artistic..."
Jiang Sui glanced at her phone: "Only one-twentieth have left."
After five kilometers, Luo Yan collapsed onto a rock halfway up the mountain, feeling like a squeezed-dry lemon. She decided to give up completely, squatting on the ground and refusing to get up: "I can't go on! Jiang Sui, is this a date or a training exercise? Didn't you lead the Red Army's Long March?"
Jiang Sui turned back and squatted down in front of her: "Let me carry you on my back."
"No!" Luo Yan said indignantly. "Does this mean I'm the one moving forward while you're carrying the load? If that happens, I'll have to change my WeChat Moments to 'My First Weighted Cross-Country Race with My Boyfriend.' No way, a Party member's will can't be so weak!"
Jiang Sui looked at her puffed-up face, his eyes smiling: "How about we change to a bicycle?"
So the romantic mountain hike turned into off-road mountain biking.
Luo Yan imagined the scene: the two of them riding side by side, a gentle breeze on their faces, she occasionally wobbling and bumping into him, and he helplessly but affectionately catching her.
"Jiang Sui, slow down! I can't keep up!"
"This section of road has a 7% gradient, so slowing down will increase energy consumption."
"How about... we talk about hiking instead?"
Luo Yan, panting with her hand on her waist, looked at Jiang Sui, who had only broken a sweat after running ten kilometers, and felt a burning hatred in her eyes.
She was careless! It was the same thing when she first went to Peach Blossom Pool with him. History is repeating itself. She really has forgotten the pain once the wound has healed!
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about 'dating'? I treat you like my boyfriend, but you treat me like a class enemy?!"
Jiang Sui frowned as he looked at her, thinking seriously: "You usually don't exercise enough. You really didn't control the intensity well this time. You should have increased it gradually. Next time, I'll take you to do some strength and technique training, like rock climbing?"
Luo Yan: "......"
Help! Is this about dating or preparing for the Olympics?!
When Luo Yan got home that evening, she took a shower and then collapsed on the sofa without moving, like a dried-up salted fish.
"I just want to have a normal relationship, why is it so exhausting? Before, my dates with Wu Yuzhou were always pleasant – eating, shopping, and watching movies. I want to go back to a relaxed, carefree life..."
"Missing Wu Yuzhou?"
Jiang Sui was using a massage gun to relax Luo Yan's calves when he heard this, so he increased the pressure slightly. Luo Yan immediately cried out, "Easy! Easy! My legs are going to break..."
"Don't you want to be a salted fish? Salted fish don't need legs."
Luo Yan realized that her jealousy had flared up again, and immediately declared her loyalty, "No, I don't miss it at all! It was all youthful ignorance. Now I like your... hardcore dating style!"
After saying this completely against her conscience, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "President Jiang, it's time to show your qualifications for the job. How about... giving me a private, purely personal striptease?"
Jiang paused, "...I forgot."
"It's okay, I'll search for videos to help you remember." Luo Yan said, taking her phone and opening a short video app. She started searching seriously. "How about dancing to 'Itch'? Or 'Wild Wolf Disco' is fine too, I'm not picky... Hey, how about this one? Um... this guy isn't as good-looking as you, you'd definitely look better dancing..."
Jiang Sui snatched her phone and tossed it aside. "Don't search anymore, I don't know how."
"Liar!" Luo Yan mimicked his movements from yesterday, lightly touching her lips with her thumb. "If you can do this, how could you not know how to dance?" Seeing Jiang Suining's stubbornness, she rolled her eyes and changed tactics, hugging him and starting to use her charm: "Oh, please, I promise I won't record a video or tell anyone! Think about it, I'm a civil servant, I can't go to nightclubs or bars, can't you make up for this regret of mine?"
Jiang Sui's eyes darkened, and he suddenly sneered, reaching out to pull her into his arms. "It is indeed a bit of a pity, but those are all superficial. How about I teach you something more practical? I guarantee you won't regret it..." His hand moved up her leg, gradually approaching her crotch. "I'm a bit tired today, so I'll teach you... how to get the most pleasure with the least amount of physical effort."
"I was wrong!" Luo Yan immediately cowered, pulling her legs together tightly. "I... just wanted a simple, easy-to-understand everyday romance..."
"Looks like I'm still not tired enough, I need to work overtime."
Jiang Sui scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom, placing her on the bed. He unbuttoned his shirt with one hand, saying, "I'm about to let you experience the most ordinary and understandable... daily life."
Luo Yan's heart raced as she looked at his aloof face paired with his seriously lewd actions. She quickly pushed him away, saying, "But we just... yesterday..."
"So what?" Jiang Sui grabbed her hands and pressed them against the pillow, laughing, "If you feel sorry for me being too tired, I don't mind letting you be on top this time."
"What do you mean, 'above' and 'below'..."
Luo Yan's mind instantly conjured up a series of erotic and embarrassing images, like watching an adult film she herself starred in. Her face flushed red to the roots of her neck, and she stubbornly retorted, "I'm injured right now, you can't... take advantage of me!"
"Wounded?" Jiang Sui chuckled, his fingers slipping inside her clothes, gently tracing her waist against her skin, then moving around to her back, and with one hand, he unhooked her bra.
"You were quite loud when you were scolding me just now. Where are you hurt? Let me take a good look... You can still argue with me, at least your mouth isn't hurt."
"you……"
Luo Yan wanted to retort, but he sealed her lips with a kiss.
