Chapter 44 He confessed his feelings
They eventually chose to watch a foreign film.
The aunt quickly finished tidying up and left. Xu Qingmin held her hand after she left.
Song Yilin knew that what was coming would eventually come.
Song Yilin lay softly on Xu Qingmin's body, her eyes gazing dreamily into his, before moving to his lips.
Song Yilin would never know how deadly her gaze could be, but Xu Qingmin still managed to control himself. He wanted Song Yilin's heart, not her body.
However, Xu Qingmin never expected that Song Yilin would take the initiative to kiss him.
When that soft touch touched his lips, his heart, frozen for millennia, melted.
Xu Qingmin held Song Yilin's head, deepening the kiss, and stroked her back with his other hand before turning around and pressing her down on the sofa.
He relentlessly conquered territory on the sofa, advancing step by step, and seized the initiative.
But as they kissed, he could feel the tension in the person beneath him.
Xu Qingmin suppressed his lust, slowly got up, went to the kitchen, poured a glass of cold water, and gulped it down.
Song Yilin, who got up from the sofa, was a little dazed. Had Xu Qingmin stopped halfway through?
She was a little nervous because she hadn't been intimate for many years, but she was only 34 years old, the age when she was full of vigor. Xu Qingmin's kiss aroused her and made her feel hot all over, and then nothing happened.
After Xu Qingmin finished drinking the water, he came to Song Yilin's side, took her hand, and said, "Linlin, I want to pursue you seriously, not just for a moment of pleasure."
Song Yilin's mind went completely blank: "I don't really understand."
"I want to be with you again, to open your heart to me even a little bit. What I want is to spend the rest of my life with you, not just be lovers."
Song Yilin neither nodded nor shook her head. She could date Xu Qingmin and be his lover, but she could not date him with marriage in mind.
Song Yilin noticed the disappointment in Xu Qingmin's eyes, and her heart clenched.
Xu Qingmin gave her a light kiss on the lips and then left, saying, "Your child is still young. Let me take you home. Your child will worry if you go home so late."
Xu Qingmin knew that Song Yilin didn't want to be with him openly, but she had already waited for 13 years. How could he be content with just a short-term relationship? It seemed that he needed to use some special methods.
Song Yilin followed Xu Qingmin to the door. Xu Qingmin put a coat on Song Yilin and put his arm around her as they went out.
Get into Xu Qingmin's exclusive Maybach.
"Um, my car, I drove here." She left her car here after taking Xu Qingmin's car. She had to go to work tomorrow, and besides, company cars couldn't just be left outside overnight.
Xu Qingmin assumed Song Yilin was saying she didn't like being picked up and dropped off by car, so he explained, "Today I just want you to spend more time with me. Can you give me the keys and I'll have someone bring them back to you later?"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Xu Qingmin loosened his seatbelt again, facing Song Yilin: "Yilin, don't be so polite to me, OK?"
Song Yilin interlocked her index finger and thumb: "OK".
Song Yilin washed herself clean and took her to Xu Qingmin's house, but Xu Qingmin personally brought her back.
After entering the room, Ms. Meng looked Song Yilin up and down.
With a look of disgust, he said, "You've returned intact?"
Song Yilin blushed slightly: "Mom, what are you saying in front of the children?"
Cai Hong: "Kids these days mature earlier. Qunqun is more mature than you think. She has always hoped that you would date. Don't think that children don't know anything. You are also a woman. After so many years of living alone, can't your daughter see that?"
Bai Guanqun: "Really, Mom, you should find someone to date. Your world doesn't just revolve around us; you should be yourself."
Song Yilin remarked that children today are developing a sense of female consciousness much earlier than she was.
Cai Hong: "After so many years, it finally showed a promising start, how could it all turn out to be a failure?"
The old lady asked, "Why couldn't the deal be reached? Did they mind your family background?"
Song Yilin: "Grandma, you're overthinking things again."
How did they come to the conclusion that she failed?
Ms. Meng smiled again: "It's a pity, it's not going to work out, otherwise we could have rekindled our romance."
The others sensed the juicy gossip.
Cai Hong: "Little sister, do you know who it is?"
Ms. Meng: "The one who stopped Ke Qu from hitting people on the day the old lady went missing was her first love."
Cai Hong couldn't hide her excitement. She subconsciously looked at Bai Guanqun, her eyes suddenly becoming somewhat complicated, but it vanished in an instant. She smiled and said to Ms. Meng, "He's a big boss. Would he still be interested in our Linlin now?"
Ms. Meng: "I don't know. Song Yilin always looks like a deadbeat, all she does is work. No wonder no one would be interested in her."
Bai Guanqun immediately recognized him as Xu Yijing's brother.
Bai Guanqun felt uncomfortable whenever he thought of Xu Yijing's mother.
That old lady was sharp-tongued and mean; she was obviously difficult to get along with.
Fortunately, there's no chance for Mom and Xu Yijing's brother to get together right now.
If it were Xu Yijing's brother, she would rather her mother never date.
However, since her mother had finally agreed to date, she didn't want to discourage her now.
Song Yilin ignored their gossip and carried Bai Guanqun to do her homework.
"I haven't asked you about your homework in a long time. Let me take a look at your recent test papers."
Bai Guanqun wasn't intimidated and pulled out all of his stuff.
Song Yilin looked at the photos one by one: "You child, how come you've improved so quickly lately? It seems that one-on-one teaching is very effective. How about I hire another tutor to teach you at home? You can go to your classmate's house on weekends and study at home during the week."
“Mom, don’t hire any more. The one you saw the other day was just one. Xu Yijing actually has nine tutors, one for each subject. If you hire tutors at that rate, your wallet won’t be able to handle it. Grandma and Grandpa are fine during the week.”
Speaking of money, Song Yilin recalled, "The money I gave you, did you give it to your classmate?"
Bai Guanqun raised his voice and said, "He gave it to me."
Bai Guanqun did give it, but she and Xu Yijing spent it all together.
"You said you've improved so much lately, do your teachers have any secrets?"
"They filled in the gaps and made up for my weaknesses."
Actually, Bai Guanqun's sudden improvement in academic performance was because she suddenly wanted to get into a good high school, instead of her mother sighing every day about the junior high school stream issue.
After Song Yilin checked her daughter's grades and found no problems, she returned to 602 and sent Xu Qingmin a message: What do you want to eat tomorrow?
Xu Qingmin: I like to eat whatever you make.
Xu Qingmin: Let's make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Song Yilin: Okay, I'll leave work early tomorrow and go over there.
Xu Qingmin: 112233
Song Yilin: ? ? ?
Xu Qingmin: This is the apartment's door code. You can enter freely from now on.
Looking at that string of data, Song Yilin felt a strange unease. It reminded her of high school when Xu Qingmin suddenly wanted to add her on QQ, saying it would be easier to communicate about rehearsals. But after adding her, Xu Qingmin didn't say anything, only sharing Wong Ka Kui's "I Like You" on his social media.
Gu Sinan replied: Why would someone who hasn't listened to music for hundreds of years suddenly share music?
He replied below: I suddenly wanted to tell someone this.
At that moment, Song Yilin subconsciously felt that Xu Qingmin was sharing it with her.
But at that time, it was a period of ambiguity, and she didn't dare to ask.
It was later confirmed that he did indeed share it with her. Not only that, Xu Qingmin left many small details in various places to secretly express his feelings.
He secretly wrote "I like you" on the last page of the exercise book he returned to her, but Song Yilin never turned to the last page of that exercise book before the end of the college entrance examination.
