"Besides me, my second sister can't marry anyone else!"
Why?
Zhu Xinning tilted her head back and asked softly.
"because…"
Jing Zhe chuckled mischievously, and his hands began to wander.
With a soft hum, Zhu Xinning tried to push him away, but she couldn't budge him.
Her words sounded like a plea, yet also like a refusal: "Zhe'er...no...please don't do this..."
Jing Zhe smiled and said, "Didn't Second Sister ask me? I'm showing Second Sister this through my actions, and I've done this to you before—and not just this!"
As he spoke, his other hand also became restless.
Zhu Xinning's body tensed instantly, and she trembled.
"You...you weren't asleep before?"
The first time I slept in the same bed with Jing Zhe was with Liu Jinghong. Jing Zhe was in the middle, and the two of them lay on either side of him. That night, they made a bet that Jing Zhe wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of them.
But we lost terribly that night.
But she had assumed Jing Zhe was making an unconscious movement in his sleep; now it seemed that wasn't the case…
"I'm asleep, but there are some things I can't forget and dare not forget!"
After saying that, she exerted force with both hands at the same time, and Zhu Xinning's body was deformed.
Jing Zhe freed his hand and lifted Zhu Xinning's chin. "Second sister, am I right? Besides me, who else could you marry?"
Zhu Xinning gasped, "Um...but you have to promise...Second Sister, you absolutely can't...abandon me!"
Jing Zhe was instantly moved.
"Second sister, don't rush, I want you now!"
Jing Zhe couldn't wait a moment longer and was about to continue, but Zhu Xinning pushed him against her chest and stared at him intently.
"Zhe'er... your second sister is going to be your woman... you absolutely can't abandon me..."
Even now, it seems they are still worried about Su Mochen.
"Don't worry, I'd rather the whole world betray me than betray you!"
After saying that, he bent down...
...
This night felt like a dream to Jing Zhe.
He had long fantasized about this scene and eagerly anticipated it happening, but he never imagined it would happen so soon, especially before Liu Jinghong!
However, all of this happened naturally.
Although drinking played a part, the two were ultimately mutually attracted, and once that thin veil of secrecy was broken, everything became natural.
When the two were completely immersed in each other's company, Jing Zhe could only think of one poem.
...
As Zhu Xinning's melodious and long chanting filled the air, the two of them were exhausted. Under the dim moonlight, they looked at each other without saying a word.
Jing Zhe gave Zhu Xinning a light kiss on the forehead, then held her tightly in his arms. Zhu Xinning rested her head on his broad chest, a slight smile on her lips, and fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning, Jing Zhe was woken up by a reminder.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhu Xinning's big, bright eyes sparkling, and her fingers were tracing patterns on his chest. Only when she realized that Jing Zhe was awake did she remove her fingers.
But no longer pretending to be asleep shyly as usual, she smiled and boldly met his gaze.
Jing Zhe was instantly moved, reached out and hugged her cheek, then pressed his lips to hers.
A moment later, Zhu Xinning, who was a little out of breath, pushed Jing Zhe away and said, "Bad guy."
"Second Sister..."
Jing Zhe smiled and called out.
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Xinning's smile vanished after hearing this. "Zhe'er, you still call me Second Sister?"
"Hehe, what else should I call you if not Second Sister?"
Jing Zhe also felt that it was a bit strange for the two of them to still address each other as brother and sister after they had crossed the most substantial line in their relationship, but he wanted to tease Zhu Xinning and see what she would say.
Zhu Xinning naturally thought of many nicknames Jing Zhe used for her, but shouldn't these be used by men? What was it about her, a woman, suggesting them?
He then snorted and turned his head to the side.
Jing Zhe smiled and pulled her into his arms. Zhu Xinning had been somewhat reluctant at first, but when Jing Zhe touched her with his mischievous hand, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she lost all strength to resist, letting Jing Zhe do as he pleased.
"Xin'er~"
Jing Zhe called out, and Zhu Xinning trembled twice. She looked up at him, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Is this a good name?"
Zhu Xinning gave a soft "hmm," then wrapped her arms around Jing Zhe's waist and pressed her face against his chest.
"Zhe'er... In front of outsiders, I am your second sister, but in private, I am your Xin'er, your woman... You can't treat me badly!"
Jing Zhe gently stroked her smooth and delicate back and whispered in her ear, "In front of outsiders, you are still my Xin'er. Now that I have you, I will not let my woman be hidden away."
Zhu Xinning looked up at Jing Zhe tenderly, but ultimately shook her head and said softly, "Zhe'er, I'm glad you can say that, but in front of outsiders, you must call me Second Sister—at least for now..."
Before Jing Zhe could reply, Zhu Xinning spoke softly again.
"You've only recently become an official, and your newspaper has just been established and is only just starting to make a name for itself. If you suddenly announce your relationship with me... even if we have a clear conscience, there's always a chance someone will start to speculate! And if you encounter someone who deliberately wants to harm you, they could exaggerate and spread rumors all over the city, which would not only affect your career but also make it difficult for you to maintain your foothold in Jingzhou City!"
Zhu Xinning spoke very seriously, which shows that even though their relationship had changed, her concern for Jing Zhe had never diminished in the slightest.
Especially now, she has never thought about her reputation.
