Little Sweethearts 15
The kitten tilted its head back, its blue eyes wide open in the light from the ceiling.
Jiang Qixin raised her hand, and before her palm touched the kitten's head, it took the initiative to rub its head towards her warm palm. Jiang Qixin often petted the ragdoll cat in the office, so she had not yet forgotten the cat-petting skills.
After a while, the kitten was so comfortable with her touch that it was purring.
"Xiaobai?" she called softly again.
The kitten meowed once or twice, as if it thought Xiaobai was its name.
Jiang Qixin turned to look at Xu Cheng'an, "Do small animals also reincarnate?"
Xu Cheng'an was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, all animals have reincarnation."
Some strange ideas have popped up in Jiang Qixin's mind. She even wondered if the little white cat in front of her was her Xiaobai.
She was very sad when Xiaobai passed away, but Xiaobai was a kitten that died of old age and had lived a beautiful and healthy cat life in this world. In human terms, this was a happy funeral, so Jiang Qixin had no regrets in her heart.
But occasionally when she saw a little white cat of similar size, she couldn't help but think of Xiaobai, because it was a family member to her and Xu Cheng'an.
"Maybe it's what you think." Xu Chengan moved closer to her side, lowered his head slightly and looked at her.
He could feel that the kitten in front of him was very smart and could even see him. He raised his hand like Jiang Qixin and placed his palm on the kitten's head.
Their fingertips touched each other from time to time, and the kitten felt so comfortable that it rested its head against the palms of their hands.
Xu Cheng'an held her hand. The room was a bit warmer now because of the heating, so his hand wasn't as cold as before. He took Jiang Qixin's hand in his own and squeezed the back of her hand. "If everything is fine, we can take the kitten home."
"Okay." She turned to look at the kitten, "Kitten, you're going to have a new home."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jing and He Mian returned to the room.
Xu Cheng'an silently released his hand and walked aside. The kitten blinked its round eyes and followed Xu Cheng'an's gaze.
"Qi Xin, how do you feel?" Song Jing was the person who helped Jiang Qi Xin adopt the little white cat, so she naturally cared about Jiang Qi Xin's feelings.
Jiang Qixin pursed her lips and subconsciously glanced at the kitten, then looked up and locked eyes with Xu Chengan, who was invisible to everyone. "I like it very much. I can take it home after completing the adoption procedures with the hospital, right?"
Song Jing wasn't quite sure about the adoption process for the stray cats He Mian and his team had rescued, so she looked back at He Mian.
He Mian nodded. "Yes, we can start with a period of adjustment. If it's not suitable, we can return the kitten to the hospital. We will find a new adopter."
He turned his head to look at the little white cat, but the cat looked at him and silently took two steps back.
Song Jing saw the actions of He Mian and the kittens and couldn't help laughing. As a cat god with a relatively high status, He Mian was always unable to communicate normally with ordinary kittens, and the kittens didn't dare to get too close to him.
Jiang Qixin, who didn't know He Mian's true identity, didn't notice this. She only saw Xu Cheng'an standing next to the kitten with a calm expression.
"Then let's go through the formalities."
The adoption procedures were completed quickly. Jiang Qixin picked up the kitten and placed it in a cat bag. As she zipped it up, she muttered, "Although it's not a good fighter, it's a good eater."
The little white cat was sent here for treatment because it lost a fight with another cat and its wounds became inflamed. However, according to the doctor's examination, it is now a healthy little fat cat.
The hospital sent a lot of necessities for the kitten, but after taking the kitten away, Xu Cheng'an and Jiang Qixin still went to the mall to buy some kitten-related things.
For the next two days, the kitten lay quietly at home and didn't like to run or jump around.
Jiang Qixin also felt at ease to keep it at home and play with it by herself.
What made her a little uncomfortable was that now when she went to work in the company, she could see Xu Chengan standing next to her every moment.
The sky in the early morning looked a little hazy, and the car was driving on the way to the company.
The pendant from the car fell before her eyes, swaying slightly. Jiang Qixin had been through so many complicated things over the past two days, and with the cold and fever she had caught, her mind was a bit foggy.
It wasn't until today that her body fully recovered. She poked Xu Cheng'an's arm and asked, "Are you going to follow me all the time?"
"Hmm." He hesitated for a moment, "Would you find me annoying and a bother?"
Xu Cheng'an has now interrupted all his original work in the underworld just to be able to stay with Jiang Qixin in the future. In fact, he can also work and live with her at the same time, but he is really worried.
Fortunately, he took a five-year vacation, and during these five years, he successfully let Jiang Qixin see him.
So now Xu Cheng'an is a husband who has given up all his career and only revolves around his lover.
"I, I never said that." Jiang Qixin touched the tip of her nose. It was just that she hadn't seen Xu Cheng'an before, so even if his soul was always floating around her, Jiang Qixin wouldn't feel anything strange.
But now she can see Xu Cheng'an whenever she looks up, and she always feels that her life is a little different from her previous life.
For example, Jiang Qixin, who is now sitting in the office processing and analyzing data, only needs to take her eyes away from the computer screen to see Xu Cheng'an sitting beside her, supporting his head and looking at her quietly.
Jiang Qixin pulled out his phone and posted a message in the top chat box: "If you keep staring at me, I'll lose my focus on work."
In the afterlife, there were also communication tools similar to mobile phones and computers. Xu Cheng'an used some tricks to connect Jiang Qixin's phone signal to his. He looked down at the message Jiang Qixin sent and smiled silently.
"Okay, I'll hang out here for a bit, you go ahead and do your thing." He checked the time, "I'll be back before lunch."
Xu Cheng'an stood up in front of the empty desk in the office, walked around to Jiang Qixin, put his arm around her shoulders and quickly kissed her on the face.
Jiang Qixin subconsciously raised her hand and touched the place where Xu Chengan had just kissed her, and looked up at him.
This guy has learned bad things. Even if no one else can see him, how can he do such intimate things in public so comfortably?
Xu Chengan knew she was a bit shy, and looking at the pink flush on her face, he said, "Jiang Jiang, I just want to kiss you so badly. You haven't kissed me in eighteen hours and fifty-six minutes."
He arched his eyebrows, and his tone sounded a little aggrieved and pitiful. Last night, Jiang Qixin fell asleep on the bed after taking a shower, and Xu Chengan didn't even have the time to kiss and hug her.
When they lived together in college, every night he would tell Jiang Qixin the weird stories he had recently heard in the legal circle, and then he would be intimate with her before she would go to sleep.
In recent years, Jiang Qixin has long been accustomed to the fact that Xu Cheng'an has passed away. In the past two years, she has arranged her work schedule very tightly. After working all day, she can go home, take a shower and fall asleep as soon as she gets home. Her biological clock and habits have made her forget the habits she used to have with Xu Cheng'an.
Time will smooth out people's sorrow and slowly erase their memories.
Xu Chengan stood beside her desk with his head lowered.
Song Jing looked up in Jiang Qixin's direction, feeling a chilly wind blowing from her direction. However, she couldn't see if the window was open, so she silently pulled her coat closer. Feeling a gaze from the side, Jiang Qixin subconsciously turned her head to meet Song Jing's gaze.
There were several other colleagues in the office. Jiang Qixin didn't dare to raise her head and look directly at Xu Cheng'an for too long for fear that others would notice something was wrong.
She had no choice but to lower her head and write a message on her phone to Xu Chengan, "Let's kiss each other tonight when we get home."
"Okay." Xu Cheng'an touched the top of her head, stroking the soft hair in his palm.
Xu Cheng'an was actually very familiar with the structure of her company. He even knew it better than Jiang Qixin, an employee. Jiang Qixin was a little directionally challenged. She had been working here for almost two years, but she couldn't remember the layout of the entire building. She only knew the paths to the cafeteria, office, and laboratory.
But he still walked around the building casually. As he walked, Xu Cheng'an planned his and Jiang Qixin's future life in his mind.
At noon, the sunlight outside shines through the windows of the company cafeteria, illuminating the room.
After finishing the morning work, Jiang Qixin went to the cafeteria with Song Jing to get food as usual.
"Why do I feel that you look a little weird today?" Song Jing stopped eating with chopsticks and asked with some confusion.
Jiang Qixin's quick digestion makes her get hungry easily, so every day at noon when she goes to the company cafeteria to eat with Song Jing, she usually concentrates on eating. She eats quickly and hastily at the beginning, and then slows down when she is halfway through. Then she will chat about gossip with Song Jing from time to time.
But today, after she finished preparing her meal and sat down, her movements became a little slow, and her eyes seemed to be constantly wandering. Song Jing followed her gaze, but there was only air.
They came to the cafeteria early today and there were not many people in the restaurant.
"Ah, what, me?" Jiang Qixin shifted his gaze from Xu Cheng'an and looked at Song Jing.
"Yes, it seems that you are not in good shape. Are you still feeling unwell?" Jiang Qixin took an extra day off to rest because of a cold and fever two days ago, so Song Jing just thought that she was not well yet and was still feeling unwell.
"Maybe." Jiang Qixin lowered her head. She would not lie, but she couldn't directly answer Song Jing's question, so she had to follow Song Jing down the stairs.
She took the spoon and stuffed her mouthful with rice.
Xu Chengan looked at her puffed cheeks and couldn't help but smile, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Her eating habits were actually not very good and hurt her stomach, but he had tried to correct them for so many years since she was a child and still couldn't get them right, so he had to remind her again and again.
Jiang Qixin nodded lightly.
Jiang Qixin couldn't help but talk to Xu Chengan, so she took out her phone from her pocket and asked, "Do you get hungry when you smell the food?"
Xu Chengan inhaled the aroma of food in the air and said, "I'm not hungry, but I'm a little greedy."
Jiang Qixin thought that eating and sleeping were the two happiest things in the world, but now Xu Cheng'an no longer needs to eat or sleep.
She suddenly felt a little sad. It seemed that life would become boring after people died.
"Ghosts don't need to eat human food, and it's useless for them to eat it, so I just smell it." Xu Cheng'an said as he moved closer to her, put his hand on her waist and gently pinched her waist, as if to comfort her.
"Yeah." Jiang Qixin responded.
Song Jing, who was sitting opposite her, heard her sudden voice and thought she was talking to herself. She raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Qixin put down her chopsticks and waved her hands, "No, nothing." Seeing Song Jing lower her head calmly again, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In a corner where Song Jing couldn't see, she patted Xu Cheng'an's thigh lightly. Fortunately, she almost forgot that she was talking to a ghost.
A dull and busy day passed. Jiang Qixin got into the car with the car keys. She raised her hand and fiddled with the pendant on the car. In the past, she always felt sad when she saw this pendant.
But now she looked at this pendant and found it inexplicably cute.
"Jiang Jiang, are you going straight home?" Xu Cheng'an knew she hadn't given up her part-time job and was still a key NPC in the escape room. Based on her schedule, she should be working soon.
It’s just that Xu Cheng’an felt that she had been having a hard time recently, and there was no need for her to numb herself with work. He was by her side all the time.
Jiang Qixin was still a little hesitant. "But this hourly wage is so high! It's even a little higher than what I make working in an office. Plus, my character doesn't have to run around. I can just wait for players to come to me."
This escape room is also famous for the NPCs' acting skills and good looks. Many of the NPCs are students from film schools, and there are even some small actors who have played supporting roles in the entertainment industry, so the NPCs' hourly wages are very high.
After her family members left her one after another, Jiang Qixin became a little insecure inside, and she slowly transferred the affection that existed between her family members to the issue of making money.
The happiest moment for her every month is when her salary is deposited into her account. She seems reluctant to give up such an easy opportunity to make money.
"Are you happy doing these part-time jobs? If you are, it's okay to do it." Xu Cheng'an paused, "I'm just worried that you will be exhausted."
They are not short of money. To be precise, Jiang Qixin is a person with some money.
Jiang Qixin hesitated for a moment when she heard Xu Chengan say this. Jiang Qixin herself knew that she had filled her leisure time with work in order to numb herself and stop herself from constantly thinking about the sad things in life.
Even though it has been almost five years, she has not completely adjusted her mentality from Xu Cheng'an's death.
But now he was standing safely in front of her, and she didn't need to numb herself with work anymore. It would be better to spend this time cooking dinner with Xu Chengan.
It just so happened that the escape room was not short of staff in recent days, so Jiang Qixin turned down her part-time job. Of course, in addition to playing NPC in the escape room, she also had many other jobs, such as working as a librarian in a bookstore and as a biochemistry teacher in an educational institution.
Her former mentor also introduced her to a special research assistant position at a research institute...
"Okay, then let's go home together after get off work. It seems like it's been a long time since I spent a peaceful evening with you like this."
"Okay, you can tell me what you want to eat tonight, and I'll think about what to cook for you." Xu Cheng'an smiled happily. His cooking skills have not regressed. He has cooked two meals for Jiang Qixin in the past two days, and she enjoyed them both very much.
"Okay, let me think about it!" Jiang Qixin leaned back in the car seat and rolled his eyes. "I can't think of it, you think of it, hehe."
"Okay." He replied softly.
Such conversations had happened countless times before, but there was a five-year gap after his death. Now life seems to be gradually getting back on track.
-
After Jiang Qixin finished her meal, she played with Xiaobai. They had never given it a name.
Even though neither of them could be sure whether this little white cat was the reincarnation of Xiaobai, the kitten was most sensitive to the name "Xiaobai", so Jiang Qixin simply called it Xiaobai.
Xu Cheng'an was cleaning the kitchen. Jiang Qixin looked up at the kitchen and felt that he seemed to have been cleaning for a long time, and it seemed that he was not in the kitchen.
Until Xu Chengan suddenly walked out from the direction of the bathroom. Jiang Qixin heard his footsteps and looked in the direction of the sound. She found that he had changed his clothes. He was now wearing a set of pajamas, a style she had never seen before.
Jiang Qixin only now realized that Xu Cheng'an wore different clothes every day, and even as a ghost he took good care of his appearance.
"You, why did you change into pajamas?" Jiang Qixin stared at his half-covered chest in his pajamas.
Xu Chengan looked like a handsome man coming out of the bath, which made her a little overwhelmed.
"I felt you would like it, so I changed it." His body was filled with a fragrance, and Jiang Qixin knew that he had taken a shower.
Xiaobai looked up and meowed twice at Xu Chengan, probably complaining that he had diverted the attention of Jiang Qixin who was stroking its head.
Jiang Qixin glanced at his chest. His physical condition was still the same as it was five years ago. He looked healthy, young, and energetic. She reached out and poked Xu Chengan's chest line. "Ghost, do you want to work out?"
Xu Chengan didn't expect that she would have so many strange ideas in her head. "Probably not, but you can exercise if you want."
He was silent for a moment, "Jiang Jiang, you said you would kiss me when you get home, you have to keep your promise."
Jiang Qixin was stunned for a moment, remembering the pit she had dug for herself. She had no choice but to smile, hold his face, and kiss him twice.
When her eyes swept over Xu Cheng'an's lips, she pursed her lips and swallowed. When she was about to lower her head to kiss his lips, Xu Cheng'an kissed her lips before her.
The collision of warmth and slightly cool sensations is more stimulating than ordinary kisses.
Xu Chengan suddenly stood up and picked her up, "Can we go back to the room and kiss?"
Jiang Qixin looked at him and nodded silently.
As a result, when I returned to the room and was closing the door, Xiaobai followed me and even scratched the door from outside the room. After scratching a few times, there was no sound.
Jiang Qixin thought of their first white cat, which also loved to follow people back into the room and would scratch the door, but it had no patience. If no one opened the door for it, it would scratch the door twice and then walk away on its own.
Everything seemed to tell her that Xiaobai was Xiaobai.
Jiang Qixin's eyes were a little sore. She raised her eyes and looked at Xu Cheng'an. He carefully put her on the bed. Jiang Qixin raised her hand and grabbed the collar of his pajamas, "Xu Cheng'an, is Xiaobai really back?"
He leaned over and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, "Yes, it is our Xiaobai."
"What about my parents..."
Jiang Qixin's impression of her parents has become very faint, but in her memory, her parents are very good people, as good as Xu Chengan and her uncle and aunt, and they love her as much as they do.
But perhaps it was not fate that made them a family for only ten years.
Xu Chengan lowered his eyelashes, "Uncle and aunt have started a new life."
"Really? Does that mean they've already been reincarnated?"
He nodded, "Yes, I have checked it for you before. They are very happy now." However, the secret cannot be revealed, Xu Cheng'an cannot tell her who her parents will be in their next life.
"That's good." She smiled. Although her eyes still contained some sadness, she was really happy.
Her parents were doing well, Xiaobai had returned to her side, and even Xu Chengan could accompany her again.
Jiang Qixin used to think that she was a person despised by God. Her parents died when she was young, and her lover passed away when they were most in love.
Perhaps it was a joke from heaven, as she now felt as if she were the luckiest person alive. A momentary surge of joy filled her mind, allowing her to temporarily forget the sadness that had lasted for over a decade.
Jiang Qixin's mood became particularly good. She felt that she hadn't been so happy in the past twenty years. She raised her hands to hold Xu Cheng'an's neck and kissed him passionately, which was rare for her.
He exuded a familiar fragrance, and although his body was a little cool, it was not cold. Jiang Qixin closed her eyes and felt the soft and familiar touch.
The lights in the room hadn't been turned on yet, and only the light from the distant street lamps shone in.
The silent room was filled with sticky and ambiguous sucking sounds.
Only Jiang Qixin and Xu Chengan could hear such a sound.
Jiang Qixin's hand gradually slid down from his neck, and then her hand reached into his sagging pajamas.
"Jiang Jiang, do you feel my body is uncomfortable to touch? Do you feel cold?"
Jiang Qixin shook her head at him, "No, it feels very comfortable to touch."
"Really?"
"real."
Her hand reached down and paused for two seconds.
This was the first time they had done it in this form in the real world outside of dreams.
When Xu Cheng'an took off his pajamas, Jiang Qixin realized that the way he looked after taking a shower was just to seduce her.
The lights in the room were kept off from beginning to end, but even with eyes adapted to the darkness, one could still see the other person's face clearly.
Jiang Qixin subconsciously reached out and touched his earlobe, twisting the soft spot with her fingertips.
In the past, whenever there was any intimate behavior, his earlobes would turn red and hot.
Unfortunately, she couldn't feel the warmth of her earlobe now.
Xu Chengan held her hand and kissed her wrist. "My earlobe is very red now. If you want to see, you can turn on the light."
Jiang Qixin followed his movements and put her palm on his face, "I don't want to turn on the light."
Xu Cheng'an lowered his head and chuckled. Like every time before, he slowly kissed every part of her body, making her gradually feel happy.
After gradually getting into the groove, Jiang Qixin placed her hands on his chest, her tone a little unsteady, and her breathing a little heavy, "I want to sit on it."
"Okay." She responded with a gentle voice.
He picked her up and placed her in the seat where Jiang Qixin was supposed to sit.
Before this, they had rarely tried to do this. Jiang Qixin had only tried it two or three times, and she had not yet mastered the most appropriate position and strength.
Xu Chengan tilted his head back slightly and placed his hands on her waist. "Jiang Jiang, you're using force in the wrong way."
He spoke in a low voice, accompanied by panting sounds that only the two of them could hear.
Jiang Qixin supported her hands on his body, and her fingertips stroked Xu Cheng'an's abdominal muscles. Her dizzy head did not react to the meaning of his words. She just squinted her eyes and looked at the person under her.
Just as she made a questioning sound in her throat, a sudden bump made her words incoherent.
