32
These words suddenly appeared in Ji Shengsheng's mind, and he felt as if fireworks were exploding inside his brain. Tinnitus came almost at the same time.
Just let your mind go blank until it's all over.
She hadn't done anything, yet she felt completely exhausted.
"Sheng Sheng, do you want anyone else to join us?" Xu Yu asked softly in her ear.
“…Speak.” He still wouldn’t let her rest.
"I don't want to think about it anymore..." She vowed never to be curious about those things again.
"Continue?" Xu Yu asked, seeking her opinion.
"...No, no." Ji Shengsheng seemed to be in a daze. "Please."
She didn't know why doing this made her lose her composure so much, and she couldn't afford to lose her composure even further in front of Xu Yu.
"Okay." Xu Yu didn't force her. "Then rest for a while."
Xu Yu stood behind her, and they embraced quietly.
Soon, Ji Shengsheng regretted it.
The arrow is on the bowstring. She should have been braver.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but want to turn around and "discuss" it with Xu Yu again. But as soon as she turned around, Xu Yu opened his eyes.
Their eyes met, and Xu Yu first warned her.
"If you make any more moves, I won't give you a chance to back out."
Ji Shengsheng could only obediently turn around and go back: "..."
Normally, she would definitely dare to provoke Xu Yu.
But tonight, I had a feeling that Xu Yu had some inexplicable temper that he wanted to vent on her in this way.
The feeling of being both scared and excited was too much for her senses to handle.
...
Xu Yu still parked the car in a relatively far location and walked a distance to take Ji Shengsheng home.
Once downstairs, Ji Shengsheng hesitated.
She really wanted to bring Xu Yu home; she had promised to let Xu Yu "see the light of day," and she wanted to keep her promise.
Although she wasn't sure if this was what Xu Yu wanted.
Recently, Xing Xing's parents have been frequently visiting his home to look after him, and the atmosphere at home has become rather tense.
It just doesn't feel right.
"You mean you're going to stay here for two weeks?" Ji Shengsheng held Xu Yu's hand and gently stroked it.
"Um."
That means we're going to spend the Lunar New Year here, or more precisely, at a hotel.
What about his parents? Aren't they spending the New Year with him?
Xu Yu didn't bring these things up, and she couldn't bring herself to ask.
"Would you like to spend the New Year with me?" Ji Shengsheng thought for a moment and added, "At my house."
"Um?"
Ji Shengsheng glanced at the light on upstairs: "Tomorrow my mother and I are going to the hospital to visit Xing Xing's grandmother. Xing Xing, you know... is my friend."
“Then I’ll mention it to my mom tomorrow night to sound her out, and then we’ll talk on the phone, okay?” Ji Shengsheng reached out to hug Xu Yu.
“It means we won’t see each other tomorrow…” Ji Shengsheng shook Xu Yu’s arm.
“I can see it.” Xu Yu’s gaze followed hers to the light. “I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow.”
Ji Shengsheng quickly refused: "We can just take a taxi."
Her father is going out by car tomorrow, and the weather forecast predicts light snow, so taking a taxi will be more flexible.
"Don't you want to see me every day?"
“…I don’t know how to tell my mother,” Ji Shengsheng confessed. “Shouldn’t I have told her in advance about this sudden meeting?”
"No need." Xu Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Ji Shengsheng's face, coaxing, "Relax, everything can be resolved."
"Then I'll do it tomorrow..."
"You can say nothing and do nothing tomorrow."
"I'll handle it."
In fact, Ji Shengsheng understood very well that her parents had objections to her relationship because they didn't trust her ability to face difficulties and solve problems.
She should have been the one to handle her parents.
"Relax, and speak."
Okay, she trusts Xu Yu and won't make things worse.
Ji Shengsheng entered the house quietly.
Fortunately, her parents were already asleep. After waving goodbye to Xu Yu at the window, Ji Shengsheng quickly slipped into her room.
The next morning, Ji Shengsheng noticed that her mother's gaze was full of scrutiny. Fearing that something was wrong with her body, she took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Mom~" Ji Shengsheng said sweetly to her mother, "Can I bring my boyfriend back for the New Year? He's been in Taoyuan lately."
Ji's mother clearly disagreed: "How long have you been together before bringing him home for the New Year? The neighbors will all be gossiping."
"...We haven't been together for very long, but I've liked him for many years," Ji Shengsheng argued softly.
What does he do for a living?
"Start a game company."
What do your parents do?
Ji Shengsheng: "..." She had no idea.
"Is your family background respectable?"
Ji Shengsheng: "...Innocent."
...How could something like this be anything but innocent?
Have your parents committed any crimes? Have they had affairs or divorced? What is the state of your relationship?
Ji Shengsheng said helplessly, "...Mom, this is dating, not hiring employees."
“Sheng Sheng, let me make this clear from the start. He’s alone in Taoyuan, he’s your friend, and he can come to our house for the New Year. But he’s your boyfriend, so he can’t.”
Ji Shengsheng: "..."
Xu Yu arrived earlier than she had expected.
When Xu Yu rang the doorbell, she had just finished washing up and was about to put on her shoes.
Ji's mother initially thought that Ji Shengsheng had hailed a taxi in advance, but upon seeing Xu Yu's face, she realized that he was not the driver.
“Mom, this is…” Ji Shengsheng glanced at Xu Yu, and under his gaze, “This is my boyfriend, Xu Yu. He happens to be in Taoyuan today, and he can take us to the hospital.”
Xu Yu greeted him politely.
Ji Shengsheng looked at her mother nervously. Her mother's attitude towards Xu Yu was much gentler than she had imagined, and she even invited Xu Yu to come in and have breakfast.
Things weren't as serious as she had imagined. Ji Shengsheng felt a little relieved.
They arrived at the hospital safely. Ji's mother told Ji Shengsheng to go to the hospital first, and asked Xu Yu to drive her to buy some fruit.
Ji Shengsheng hesitated to get out of the car, but Xu Yu's reassuring look put her at ease and she left.
As Ji Shengsheng watched Xu Yu's car drive away, she felt that she shouldn't have left her mother and Xu Yu alone at this moment.
"Please pull over to the side of the road for a moment, I need to say a few words to you."
After the car had driven some distance, Ji's mother spoke gently.
"Xu Yu, don't be nervous. Auntie just wants to talk to you about a few things."
Ji's mother was not strict at all; on the contrary, she was very kind: "I have always treated Sheng Sheng's friends as my own children. I hope that you will not feel any psychological burden when you interact with us."
Xu Yu saw Ji's mother's expression in the rearview mirror, which was not as tolerant and gentle as her tone of voice.
"...Are you going to sentence me to death without asking me anything?"
Normally, there would be questions to ask him. Since he doesn't ask anything and just offers this unemotional reassurance, it's highly likely that he's dissatisfied.
He needed to be able to bring Ji Shengsheng back to Lucheng in ten days. He didn't have much time to maneuver and had to find a quick solution.
Before Ji's mother could say anything more polite,
Xu Yu looked at the coffee shop by the roadside: "If it's convenient for you, I hope you can give me a chance."
Sitting in a private room at the coffee shop, Ji's mother looked at the young man properly for the first time.
It's understandable why the daughter brought him home after only a short time dating him. He was decent-looking and had a decent demeanor, making him quite noticeable in a crowd.
“My daughter has known you for about three or four years, but she doesn’t know anything about your family situation except for some personal information about you.” Ji’s mother already had high standards, and she was even more picky about the role of “son-in-law.”
"Given your level of honesty, I don't believe you two have any plans for a long-term relationship."
Xu Yu knew this issue would be involved, but he didn't expect Ji's mother to bring it up so directly.
“My parents are divorced, and I have been living alone for nearly ten years.” Xu Yu crossed his arms and sat up straight. “This is indeed an unusual situation. It was my oversight not to inform Sheng Sheng in time.”
Originally, Ji's mother was not very satisfied with anyone other than Xing Xing. After learning that Xu Yu's parents were divorced and that he had a poor relationship with his parents, her impression of Xu Yu plummeted.
"I also feel very sorry to know about this. Xu Yu, I still stand by what I said before, Sheng Sheng's friends are all my children. This morning, Sheng Sheng told me that he wanted to invite you to New Year's Eve dinner. As Sheng Sheng's friend, we would very much like to welcome you."
“People can’t choose their parents,” Xu Yu said calmly. “I understand your concerns. If I were in your shoes, I would do the same.”
"I really want to understand how difficult it is for you as a parent, but I can't just be friends with Sheng Sheng. Some things are hard to describe simply. I've already lost two opportunities, and I can't afford to lose a third."
Ji's mother misjudged Xu Yu.
She thought that a boy like Xu Yu must have a very strong sense of self-esteem, and that he would immediately turn his back or back down if she showed any mockery or disdain.
But Xu Yu did not; he simply appealed calmly.
"I don't want to interfere with your short-term dating, but long-term development and bringing them home are absolutely out of the question."
Ji's mother said seriously, "It's unlikely that you and your parents have no connection whatsoever. How can you guarantee that the relationship between your parents won't affect you, won't affect Ji Shengsheng, and won't affect your relationship?"
"Short-term relationships may be a matter between the two of you, but long-term developments will eventually involve your family."
Seeing that it was almost time, Ji's mother stopped beating around the bush: "Auntie, let's be direct. If your parents treat you like this, they probably won't treat Sheng Sheng any better in the future."
"Don't tell me you agree. She's a young girl who doesn't know the difference between dating and marriage. You're taking advantage of her lack of knowledge and information to enter into a stable relationship with her. You're bullying her naivety."
After Ji's mother finished speaking, seeing that Xu Yu did not speak immediately, and then suddenly remembering that he had lived alone for ten years, she softened a little: "If you agree, then we can consider it a consensus. After a while, when you return to Lucheng, you can gradually distance yourself from Shengsheng."
After all, they hadn't been together long, so they just cried a bit and it was over.
“Auntie, I won’t give up on Shengsheng.” Xu Yu paused, then looked up to meet Ji’s mother’s scrutinizing gaze. “I know she won’t give up on me either.”
“I understand very well that in this relationship, I need her more and I can’t live without her. In order not to put her in a difficult position, I will try my best to gain your approval and meet your requirements as much as possible. I hope you can give me a chance.”
Seeing that further explanation was futile, Ji's mother stopped pressuring the matter.
“No one will deny you a chance.” Ji’s mother paused for a few seconds. “Young people’s thoughts change every day. But you must also remember to have a bottom line. You can do what you should do, but you still need to be careful about what is inappropriate.”
Xu Yu understood what she meant.
He nodded in agreement.
The two people appeared before Ji Shengsheng with perfectly normal expressions.
After returning from the hospital, Xu Yu took them home. Ji Shengsheng quickly said goodbye to her mother and hurried downstairs to meet Xu Yu.
"Did my mother say anything unpleasant to you?"
Xu Yu looked at Ji Shengsheng sitting in the passenger seat.
Her eyes were always clear and innocent.
He loved Ji Shengsheng's eyes, which were filled with innocence. However, he always felt that he hadn't looked deep enough and wanted to see her more and deeper.
"Stay here with me this afternoon." Xu Yu leaned down and kissed her cheek. "I'll take you home before 10 p.m. tonight."
"Okay!" Ji Shengsheng nodded vigorously. "...Hey? What are you going to do after you get out of the car?"
"Buy some things we'll need later."
Ji Shengsheng didn't understand at first, but when she saw the bag Xu Yu was carrying when he came back, she knew almost immediately.
"Why...why did you buy this?"
"Do what you should do."
She was given almost no time to react.
All the way to the bedroom and onto the bed, intimacy was an understatement; she could only feel alternating sensations of squeezing and swelling.
...
Xu Yu seemed to have inexhaustible energy and strength. She had many ways to make her emotions fluctuate until she could no longer control her body's various reactions. Ji Shengsheng fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Yu looked at Ji Shengsheng's smooth back and gently kissed and stroked it. He wasn't finished yet, but he needed to wait for Ji Shengsheng to regain some strength. He could wait.
Ji Shengsheng was more willing to cooperate with his actions than he had expected. Although she was thin, she had decent stamina. Judging from her demeanor and expression, she had probably already had her fill.
As he had always thought, they were a perfect match physically.
To be precise, Ji Shengsheng was very attached to his body. Physical attraction was far greater than her desire to possess him emotionally.
Despite his shyness and uncertainty, Ji Shengsheng always boldly accepted his services and gave him very proactive and enthusiastic positive feedback.
However, if this aspect resonates with him, he will want more.
He wanted all of Ji Shengsheng's attention and love, not allowing any of it to be given to anyone else.
Ji Shengsheng slept for more than two hours before waking up. When she woke up, she was completely exhausted.
Xu Yu had already bought the food and was waiting for her.
Ji Shengsheng didn't intentionally look at places she shouldn't have, but she simply couldn't ignore them.
"……you."
If they continue having fun, Ji Shengsheng might miss her return time.
Xu Yu pulled Ji Shengsheng's hand over: "Like that day under the table. Help me."
Ji Shengsheng blushed and said, "...I don't know how."
"I'll teach you."
