The silky satin suddenly lost its support, as if it obeyed the call of the morning light and silently slid down from her shoulders. A piece of skin as white and delicate as the first snow was suddenly revealed, no longer covered...
Below her breast, there was a black mole as small as a fingernail.
I stared at that spot and blurted out jokingly, "Oh? This is 'ambition'."
She was startled at first, then laughed out loud at my teasing, panting as she said, "What do you mean by ambition... Physiognomy says that if a mole grows on the chest, it will be auspicious no matter where it grows - but it has to grow here!" She pointed at her heart with her fingertips, "This 'busy mole' means you will run around for your loved ones all your life, so you may seldom have a leisurely life."
How could these mysterious words disturb my mind at this moment? I only felt the warmth between her words was close at hand, and an irresistible impulse suddenly seized me. I could no longer hold back, so I embraced her with my arms, and then the kiss fell with unquestionable desire...
The endless lingering and tenderness seemed to isolate us from the hustle and bustle of the world, and make us forget the worldly fireworks. She gently put her cheek against my chest and whispered, "Your heartbeat is so strong... I love to hear this sound."
I lowered my head and responded: "That's not easy. As long as you like, you can listen to it anytime in the future."
She raised her face and looked at me with her misty eyes, with a trace of vague regret: "I dare not expect you to be with me forever. Compared to possession... maybe it's enough to have had it."
I was curious: "Is this your...view on marriage and love?"
She spoke in a gloomy tone, as if she was carrying some unspeakable sense of fate: "I have already decided not to get married in this life. I don't want to... bring my bad luck to others."
Hearing her voice full of sorrow, I also felt a sense of sympathy. 꿛指 unconsciously stroked the hair on her temples, and his voice became softer: "Don't think like that. Your life has just begun, and there is still a long way to go. Why trap yourself with rules and regulations?"
A faint smile suddenly spread across her lips, with a bit of insight into the world, and it seemed like self-mockery: "Boss, you don't have to worry about getting into trouble. I... won't force you to do anything. As long as you miss me," she paused, her voice soft but clear, "you can come to me anytime, anywhere."
Her almost detached "open-mindedness" made me feel helpless. I frowned slightly: "You are...acting like this, and I don't know what to do."
She didn't say anything, but just moved her body upwards until her forehead was touching mine.
His cheek gently pressed against my ear, his warm breath brushing my skin, his voice very low, with a hint of earnestness: "I don't want to be a burden to anyone. But... you have to promise me one thing."
I sensed that what she was about to say was unusual, so I said, "What is it?"
She stopped smiling and moved back slightly. The blurry look in her eyes that looked straight at me faded away. She said solemnly, word by word, "Don't touch my sister."
If I had heard this in the past, I would have been furious, but at this moment, I can deeply understand her position.
So I responded sincerely: "Don't worry, I'm not a beast. Besides, even if I'm really hungry, I will never do anything to the people around me."
Seeing that I promised solemnly, a smile appeared on her face again. She gently leaned her head against my ear, held my earlobe with her lips, and bit it with the tip of her teeth with a little force.
This intimate action instantly ignited my impulse. I was about to push her down again, but she resisted and said, "Are you going to die? It's been several times since last night... It seems that you are really hungry."
Am I really hungry? Maybe. Ever since Xu Tong gave birth to Xu Anqi, our relationship has become increasingly distant. I haven't experienced the tenderness of a woman for a long time. Now that I have met a woman who not only makes my heart beat and can fully satisfy me, it is like a hungry man meeting a full banquet. How can I not devour it?
Once the window paper between me and Peng Xiaohui was broken, our relationship was like a flood that broke through the dam and could not be controlled. I was particularly intoxicated and reluctant to leave. I couldn't stop this forbidden love and was deeply trapped in it.
Staying out all night became a common occurrence for me. My mother was no longer surprised by my abnormal behavior and was too lazy to ask about it. Peng Xiaomin was like a wife who was checking up on me, tracking my whereabouts on WeChat all day. But she was not my wife after all, so I was too lazy to even give her a perfunctory reply and told her directly that I had a new lover outside.
Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid as to tell the truth that this "new love" was her biological sister. If I said directly, "I slept with your sister," wouldn't it cause a huge uproar?
Even so, the fact that I had found a new lover still pushed Peng Xiaomin into the abyss of despair. Occasionally when I returned home, I could no longer see her standing by the door like before, with a gentle smile in her eyes, asking about my well-being. Now she has completely retreated to the role of a nanny, still doing her best to take care of me and my children, but ignoring me - as if I was just a wisp of air in this house. Those intimate times when she rubbed my shoulders and beat my back have naturally become a thing of the past.
There is nothing sadder than a dead heart. I know she had secretly planted the seeds of hope in her heart, hoping that we could blossom and bear fruit. Unfortunately, this unbudding relationship was strangled in the bud.
Since I chose her elder sister, I also promised not to touch her younger sister. A husband's words are as good as his. How can I break my promise? The sisters look exactly the same, but their personalities are very different - the elder sister is gentle and considerate, while the younger sister is petty and extreme in her views. In comparison, the elder sister is naturally more to my liking.
There is a deeper reason that is inconvenient to say. Being with Xiaohui means enjoying the present without any burden, while being with Xiaomin means a heavy responsibility. In the face of commitment and responsibility, I am not only a coward, but also a deserter - Xu Tong's incident has made me completely afraid of marriage.
One day, taking the opportunity to report my work to the county party secretary Kuang Tieying, I put forward an idea that I had been brewing for a long time: abolish the county and establish a city.
This bold proposal made me visibly startled. My sharp eyes stayed on my face for a moment, and after my brain worked quickly, I asked: "Hongjun, does this idea fit the reality of our county?"
I was well prepared and calmly analyzed: "The 'Report on Adjusting the Criteria for Establishing a City' issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in 1993 clearly pointed out that our county has met the standards in economic development, financial strength, population size, urbanization level, infrastructure construction and other indicators. If we can achieve this leap, it will surely become an important milestone in the development history of our county."
The pen in the notebook rustled as he wrote down the key points. After a moment, he looked up and asked, "It is a good thing to abolish the county and establish a city, but such a major administrative adjustment will be difficult to implement without the support of the city."
"Secretary Kuang," I responded confidently, "The new Mayor Hu and I have some connections. Why don't I test the waters in my personal capacity first? If it works, we can officially start the process."
놛 nodded thoughtfully: "It's a good idea. But right now we have so many things to do. If we push this matter forward now, will our superiors think we are too ambitious?"
I answered decisively: "From a macro perspective, the system upgrade of abolishing the county and establishing a city will comprehensively improve the urbanization level of our county, and it has strategic significance in attracting investment, implementing projects, and introducing talents. In particular, it can gain greater economic autonomy and have more say in investment approval, land planning and other fields, which is highly consistent with our plan to build an auto parts industry belt."
After a pause, I lowered my voice and said, "From a personal perspective, if this initiative can be accomplished during your term, it will be an important political legacy no matter where you are in the future. Although it is only a county-level city, you will become the first municipal party secretary in history."
These words obviously touched 놛. I saw a glimmer in 놛's eyes, and he slowly nodded in acknowledgement.
