Chapter 18 During the rainy season, his service awareness was very good.
Upon hearing this outrageous address, Liang Yanzhe's breath caught in his throat.
Her breath brushed against his cheek, the tip of her nose lightly touching his temple, tickling his heart with each breath.
Lin Fei silently curled the corners of his lips, quite satisfied with the situation where he had the upper hand.
Suddenly—
Her chin was grabbed.
"What did you call me?" he asked in a low, hoarse voice.
The wind pushed open the window, and a cool breeze rushed into the room, causing the curtains to flutter like waves. The warm light from the streetlights shone through the gaps.
—Sometimes bright, sometimes dark.
Their eyes met.
There was an undercurrent of emotion surging in his eyes, but he restrained himself and tried to remain calm.
Lin Fei opened her mouth and gently bit his tiger's mouth, her tongue restlessly licking it.
He was secretly delighted.
She enjoys watching old houses catch fire, and she was the one who started this fire.
But she underestimated men.
He tightened his grip, forcing her to stop. She grabbed his wrists with both hands, afraid he would lose control, but some dark forces in her blood were clamoring for her to be treated 'badly'.
She is seriously ill.
"Say it again."
His voice was cold and commanding.
"No." She refused with a smile, pulled away the man's hand, and quickly took off her nightgown, revealing that she was only wearing a loose tank top and white cotton panties underneath.
The camisole was made of soft material, as smooth as skin, outlining her curves.
Her knees moved forward little by little, the cotton sheets brushing against them, feeling a little prickly.
Just as she was about to touch the man's hand, he pulled her into his arms.
His large hand pressed against her shoulder blades; they were pressed extremely close together.
The man's physique was muscular and free of any excess fat; his lean waist and abdomen concealed boundless strength.
Touch is more impactful than sight.
She trembled the moment their hands touched.
He was like a mountain she couldn't overcome, pressing her down.
"It hurts," she cried out in dissatisfaction.
He was always mindful of her feelings.
I touched the painful area and massaged it for her.
"Does it hurt when you rub it like this?" he asked.
Lin Fei rested her head on his shoulder, her breathing gradually becoming rapid and heavy.
"You have calluses on your left hand," she scoffed. "Dr. Liang, are you left-handed?"
She lay softly on top of him, barely breathing, yet stirring up desire everywhere.
He tilted his head slightly, and their foreheads touched.
He just stared at her, his dark eyes seemed to have a magical power, deeply attracting her.
My heart was pounding faster and faster.
It seemed to be trying to break free from her body.
He grasped the frame of her gold-rimmed glasses, took them off, and casually placed them on the bedside table. He lifted her chin and kissed her.
Liang Yanzhe's kiss was...wonderful.
It wasn't a deep kiss that stifled your breath, nor a light, fleeting kiss, but rather a sticky, lingering one, where you could feel the thin skin of his lips, soft and delicious.
She lost herself in the kiss, falling into the atmosphere he created.
It gives her the illusion that she is cherished by someone.
It's not an illusion.
He could touch her, and her heart was pounding wildly at the moment of ambiguity.
Actually, he also had calluses on his right hand, which were rougher than those on his left.
Okay, I'm not left-handed.
She no longer had the energy to think about these things; as those suddenly large knuckles brushed past her, she gritted her teeth and swallowed all her gasps.
"Too...deep."
He didn't stop, his middle and ring fingers together.
It went very smoothly and went deep into the depths.
She remembered that there was a piano in Liang Yanzhe's apartment in Gangdu. He had taught her, but it was too difficult and she couldn't learn it. However, that didn't stop him from playing a complete "Una Mattina" with her.
His hand was half on the back of her hand, hooking her little finger and pressing it on the correct white key, flexibly changing his fingering.
The morning rain outside the window had just stopped, the sky was orange-yellow, a gentle breeze stirred the white gauze curtains, passing through their intertwined fingertips, and the air felt slightly acidic.
At that moment, the world seemed to be muted, with only his gentle whispers remaining.
She couldn't remember the score for that piano piece.
All I remember is that he held her as they sat on the piano lid, and they almost kissed.
But no.
He dodged it.
Memories always end in regret, leaving the girl disappointed.
In retaliation, she cupped his face and kissed him.
He paused for a moment, then pressed her chin down with his other, non-sticky hand.
"Don't worry," he said gently, trying to soothe him.
He applied more pressure.
She twisted and struggled, trying to relieve herself.
Fortunately, a sudden downpour started outside, and under his coaxing, she dared to make those seductive sounds.
The nightgown she was wearing was completely soaked.
His hands too.
As she watched him pull a tissue from the bedside table and wipe his long, slender fingers clean, the shame that followed slowly surfaced, and she buried half her face in the blanket.
The window was blown open, and rain soaked half of the tabletop, which Liang Yanzhe cleaned up. She huddled under the covers like a quail.
Liang Yanzhe kept glancing at the girl out of the corner of his eye, thinking she was angry. He reflected on the past hour and wondered where he had failed to provide adequate service.
But he quickly changed his mind. As soon as he lay down, she snuggled into his arms.
"Hold me to sleep." Her voice was soft and slightly hoarse.
Liang Yanzhe patted her on the back: "You really are like a child."
“Yes, that’s right.” Her voice trailed off with a hint of pleasure. “Aren’t I Daddy’s little girl?”
He knew that this was only the bedroom version of Lin Fei; as soon as dawn broke, she would become the Lin Fei who would never show weakness to anyone.
Lin Fei woke up at seven in the morning. The weakness in his legs from before he went to bed hadn't subsided, and he felt weak all over.
Because Liang Yanzhe had a habit of exercising in the morning, she was worried that he would get lost in the old street, so she followed him.
The girl took a few steps, put her hands on her hips, and massaged her legs; anyone with eyes could see her laziness.
Liang Yanzhe doesn't necessarily need to exercise until he sweats; he maintains his morning exercise routine to better cope with the heavy workload of the following day.
She had already gone out, so we took a walk along the street together.
The neighbors on the street get up early, and they make a point of coming out to greet us as they pass by our door.
Greetings were secondary; my main curiosity was what the Lin family's son-in-law looked like.
Lin Fei, arm in arm with Liang Yanzhe, greeted him confidently, with a touch of arrogance.
Of course, I can't just admire such a handsome husband by myself; it would be so prestigious to bring him out in public.
Liang Yanzhe saw through her little scheme and accepted it all, cooperating fully.
Halfway there, Lin Fei said she was tired and slung herself against him.
When you get closer, you can say things more freely.
"The medicine you applied to my thigh is sticky and uncomfortable." Lin Fei puffed out her cheeks, slightly annoyed. This morning, she checked the finger marks on her inner thigh and they hadn't faded. How strong must he have been when he controlled her?
Liang Yanzhe: "It reduces swelling."
"It doesn't hurt." Lin Fei forgot that it didn't hurt because he had applied medicine for her last night.
"Really? I'll check it when we get back," Liang Yanzhe asked with a smile.
The next second, his mouth was covered.
"How can you say such things in public!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide, as if to say that the world is going to the dogs and that it is unacceptable to say such morally corrupt things.
This is a classic case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps."
Liang Yanzhe: "Didn't you start the conversation first?"
"Dr. Liang, you can't follow my nonsense." Lin Fei made no attempt to hide his bullying behavior.
"Can I go home?" he asked politely.
Lin Fei tightened her legs. Although she didn't reach home run, she didn't have any intention of having sex for the next few days and needed to slow down.
Chi Xin, carrying a filming machine in the distance, waved to attract their attention, but to no avail. He could only wave and shout with all his might, "Sister!"
When the two walked up to Chi Xin, she quietly called out to Dr. Liang, her gaze returning to Lin Fei.
After chatting, I learned that Chi Xin had been going to Chunxi Old Street a lot lately because the photos he posted last time went viral. Many people contacted Aunt Gui, wanting to have a set of photos taken there in the style of the Republic of China in Jiangdu.
Aunt Gui, who originally planned to go out to work, had to put her plans on hold and pick up her camera again to go back to her old profession.
She couldn't handle everything by herself, and half of the photos that went viral were taken by Chi Xin, so she hired Chi Xin as her assistant, paying her more than she would have earned doing temporary work outside.
Moreover, taking photos is something Chi Xin enjoys, so this isn't working at all; he earned the money happily.
Not far away, Aunt Gui smiled brightly, her previous worries gone.
"How's business?" Lin Fei asked, delighted.
Chi Xin laughed and said, "I can't say it's very good, but I can get one order a day. I can get three orders on weekends, and I'm still booked until before the Lunar New Year. Aunt Gui's place is short-handed, so I go back to the old street to help out when I don't have classes, and I can also get a free meal at her house."
“I told you you could do it.” Lin Fei raised his fist.
Chi Xin understood and bumped fists with her.
If it weren't for Lin Fei's words of encouragement, she would never have imagined that the social media account she managed in her spare time could bring such good benefits to the almost bankrupt photo studio.
Aunt Gui couldn't handle it all by herself, so Chi Xin left a message saying they'd talk later and then hopped over to help, carrying a reflector.
Liang Yanzhe had scheduled his afternoon shifts and planned to return to his residential compound after lunch.
While Liang Yanzhe went back to his bedroom to pack his things, Lin Fei went to the weaving room to find Grandma.
When Grandma saw her, she asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go back to your room and pack your things? And why did you leave the work to Xiaoze?"
"Grandma, Grandma, I'm your granddaughter. Aren't you happy that my husband took the initiative to do the work?" Lin Fei sat down next to her grandma.
The stool on the loom was only big enough for one person. Lin Fei squeezed in, and Grandma couldn't stretch out her movements, so she was forced to stop what she was doing.
"Grandma, get up." Grandma elbowed him, showing no regard for the bond between grandmother and grandson.
Lin Fei pushed it back: "I need to tell you something!"
He deliberately emphasized the retroflex ending, which carried a hint of coquetry.
Grandma put down the silk thread in her hand: "Hurry up and say it, don't get in my way."
"Grandma!" Lin Fei leaned close to his grandmother. "I'll help you open the shop. I'll take care of everything, including finding orders and advertising. You can just relax and weave the fabric you like in the weaving room."
Grandma laughed after hearing this: "You're busy with work, so don't worry about my affairs."
“Grandma, you’ve misunderstood. I meant I’ll help you run the Zhuang brocade shop from now on.” Her eyes shone brightly.
Grandma understood what she meant and said with a dark face, "Young people don't do anything important and just think nonsense all day long."
“I’m serious. I already turned down jobs from two companies a few days ago. Your matter is what I really want to do.” Knowing her grandmother would get angry, she argued, “I’ve even thought out the initial plans…”
But things didn't go as Lin Fei had anticipated.
Grandma stood up abruptly and yelled, "Lin Shufei, have you lost your mind?!"
“Grandma…” Lin Fei was stunned for a few seconds.
In the past, when she did something outrageous, her grandmother would only pretend to be angry, never yelling and cursing like this, and never calling her by a name she didn't like.
"You treat work like a game? You gave up a proper job to come back and open a shop with me? I wasted my money sending you to university." Grandma was furious. She grabbed a wooden stick used for drying cloths and said, "You get out of here right now, and don't let me see you again."
"Grandma..."
It was so sudden that Grandma couldn't accept it right away, and she still wanted to fight for herself.
It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was the result of careful consideration.
Grandma hit the wooden stool of the cotton spinning machine with her stick.
The loud noise echoed throughout the house, and Liang Yanzhe and Chi Yao, who were upstairs, came downstairs.
"If you keep talking nonsense and not doing anything productive, I'll whip you again." Grandma pointed to the door. "Go back, and don't come back to Chunxi until you find a job."
Chi Yao, standing at the door, hesitated whether to step forward. He was tongue-tied and didn't know how to speak properly. He had a feeling that Lin Fei might not be able to say for sure whether he would be whipped again, but he was certain that he would be whipped.
At this moment, Liang Yanzhe had already walked up behind Lin Fei.
"Grandma, calm down." Liang Yanzhe put his hand on Lin Fei's shoulder. "You can listen to what Xiao Fei has to say."
Grandma turned her back in anger and didn't say a word.
She dared to scold her own granddaughter, but not her grandson-in-law, since they were newly married and it would be bad if their relationship was damaged by a quarrel between the grandmother and granddaughter.
"Forget it, she doesn't care about me. She thinks raising me is useless and that I wasted my time studying." Lin Fei never backed down. "Anyway, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. It's fine if Chunxi doesn't come back."
After making those harsh remarks, Lin Fei pulled Liang Yanzhe back to his room to get his things and then left.
Grandma glared angrily and threw the stick on the ground.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Chi Yao finally chose to catch up with Lin Fei.
"Big sister, are you crazy? If you say these things, Grandma will definitely be upset and won't be able to sleep tonight." He tried his best to keep up with Lin Fei while anxiously trying to persuade her, walking like a eunuch in a palace drama who was more worried than the emperor.
“So—” Lin Fei stopped in his tracks, “you know what to do.”
Chi Yao froze: "What...am I supposed to do?"
"Give me a little advice, and help me persuade Grandma!" Lin Fei patted his shoulder. "Just like before."
"Big sister, you mustn't do that." Chi Yao shook his head violently. "This time is different from before. Grandma is furious. I even spoke up for you, and she hit me with a stick first."
"That's it, our family relationship is about to end too." Lin Fei shrugged nonchalantly.
Chi Yao grew anxious and pointed at Lin Fei: "Brother-in-law, say something!"
Liang Yanzhe coughed. Although he didn't know what Lin Fei was going to do, he still chose to believe her unconditionally: "Your sister is right."
"Right?" Chi Yao stood there dumbfounded. Did his dear brother-in-law know what he was saying? He was practically aiding and abetting evil!
"Alright, that's settled then." Lin Fei gave Chi Yao a push. "Go ahead, I'll be waiting for your good news."
Chi Yao walked home in a daze.
Why does it feel like he's the one who got hurt in the end?!
Back in the car, Liang Yanzhe hesitated to start it, and Lin Fei looked at him blankly.
“Now, can I know what you’re thinking?” he asked.
Lin Fei blinked: "You're saying I'm right without knowing the inside story?"
I thought he knew.
"Yes, I didn't even know what you and Grandma were talking about." His smile was tinged with helplessness.
Lin Fei tilted her head and leaned closer to Liang Yanzhe, looking at him again and again.
"Dr. Liang, you know nothing about this, yet you're taking my side?" Her expression was one of disbelief. "Shouldn't you be on the side of justice?"
“The lady is justice itself,” Liang Yanzhe asked with a smile. “So, does that mean I have the right to know?”
Lin Fei's mind was filled with the phrase "the lady is justice," and he smiled sweetly, but the words that came out were those of a devil: "I've got something I want to do. I rejected both offers from game companies. I want to open my own small online shop. After what happened with Grandma yesterday, I think it would be better to run Grandma's Zhuang brocade shop. As for what I want A Yao to do, it's simple: he just needs to say a few sarcastic things to Grandma. For example, that I'm heartbroken and will never want to set foot in Chunxi Old Street again. Or that being mean to me won't work, and that I'll only care about how others treat me and won't hold onto any past feelings."
"Excuse me, Ms. Fei Wen, are you referring to me as 'other person'?" Liang Yanzhe asked politely.
"Bingo!" Lin Fei snapped his fingers. "You got it right, we're going to create a crisis for Grandma."
Liang Yanzhe chuckled softly through his nose and shook his head slightly.
Lin Fei: "You don't want to? Who just said that the lady is justice?"
"I'm willing," he said, "but won't Grandma be sad about your idea?"
"Grandma only responds to force, not persuasion. Even if I cry and beg, I won't get the result I want today." Lin Fei put on an innocent expression. "I have to give her something juicy."
If what Grandma said is true, it's not surprising that the Lin family was able to raise a Lin Fei.
Before Chi Yao could win over Grandma, Lin Fei treated it as a vacation.
During the day, I would stay in my study making doll clothes, wondering how to run my grandmother's online shop if she really rejected me.
When I get tired, I go to the living room to play with Shunshun, and we snuggle up on the sofa to watch TV together.
Liang Yanzhe was very busy with work, and he had emergency surgeries for two consecutive nights. She only saw him when she was half asleep in the morning.
On Thursday afternoon, Liang Yanzhe rushed back from the hospital to pack his luggage, saying he was going to Haishi on a business trip. Lin Fei finished eating half a bag of potato chips before going into the dressing room to find him.
If it's convenient, suggest going with him.
Liang Yanzhe sensed that Lin Fei hadn't been in high spirits these past few days, appearing listless and gradually losing patience as news from Chi Yao hadn't arrived.
To change his mood, he called Ye Zhan and sent him Lin Fei's personal information, asking him to buy an extra ticket.
Ye Zhan was quick to notice and booked adjacent seats for the two of them, with another seat by the window offering a view of the sunset over the city.
The rest of the family sat in the back, giving the young couple some alone time.
On her first trip to Haishi, Lin Fei, intending to have some fun, fell asleep on the plane and didn't wake up until they were about to land, thus wasting the good seat that Ye Zhan had carefully chosen for her.
The summit was scheduled for the second day, and there was free time in the evening, but Liang Yanzhe also had a video consultation.
After landing, Ye Zhan and Tian Ying went straight to the restaurant they had chosen. Lin Fei watched TV for a while, but couldn't sit still. After leaving a message for Liang Yanzhe, she went out for a stroll.
When Lin Fei first graduated from Jiangdu University, he had only one thought in mind—to escape.
Only by escaping could she escape the disturbances from her maternal family and avoid feeling lost because her grandmother always pushed her away.
Haishi extended an olive branch to her, and she received a well-paid job.
But some unpleasant experiences made her feel like she couldn't breathe in the city.
Her feelings for this city were complex, and now, as she wandered aimlessly down the street, a sense of nostalgia arose within her.
She came across a flower shop on a street corner, stood there for a long time, and then went up and pushed open the door.
The waiter picked out a small bunch of sweet peas that were in full bloom for her, which she carried away and hailed a taxi.
-
Liang Yanzhe's meeting ended before 11 o'clock, but Lin Fei had not returned for a long time, nor had he replied to WeChat messages, so he made a phone call.
The first three channels were all blocked.
He grabbed his trench coat and went out, then made another phone call.
The elevator reached the first floor, and the phone call was finally connected.
Hello, who is this?
A drunken woman's voice mumbled into the receiver.
"Have you been drinking?"
"Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
He was initially surprised, but his emotions quickly returned to normal.
She paused for a while before giving the address.
Liang Yanzhe checked the map and found that there was a bar three kilometers away.
He flagged down a car and headed straight for his destination.
Perhaps because it was a weekday and late at night, there were only a few tables of customers in the bar.
Liang Yanzhe found Lin Fei, who was completely drunk and unconscious, in a corner.
She was still drinking, with five empty cups next to her.
The waiter brought another new special drink. Lin Fei looked up and saw Liang Yanzhe standing to the side.
She stood up, swaying slightly, and Liang Yanzhe strode forward to support her.
She was standing on higher ground, so she leaned into his arms, hugged his neck tightly, and murmured, "Shuangming, I missed you so much..."
Liang Yanzhe's arms, which were holding her, froze in mid-air, and his eyes welled up with tears.
