Chapter 128
Jing Ling knew about the situation of the house. When he mentioned to Yunshu that he wanted her to come over to celebrate the New Year together, he had already thought of a solution. Either let Yunshu and Jingqiu stay in one room, and he can stay in one room alone. Or they would each have a room and he would sleep on the sofa. All make sense. But he didn't expect an accident to happen along the way. Although the incident in Shuangshan Town was finally resolved without causing any substantial harm, Yunshu walked alone through the overgrown mountain road to the long-abandoned mine, searching for possible evidence in the dark with a flashlight. He finally found it, but was almost caught by his colleagues when he went out. In the cold winter, she was hiding behind waist-high weeds and bushes, and she must have been scared.
Yunshu had hinted several times before that their relationship could go further, but he had never been able to get over that hurdle in his heart, so he could only pretend not to know how to refuse. Although she didn't say anything, she probably became suspicious.
In this case, it would be unreasonable to suggest that Yunshu sleep alone. So he could only count on Jing Qiu to save the situation and offer to let Yun Shu sleep with her.
It turned out that Jing Qiu was so considerate that he winked at him before going to bed, made a quiet gesture of encouragement, and went into the room by himself, closing the door with a slight sound.
Jing Ling: “…”Sister, you don’t have to help me so much, really!
Things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. He glanced at Yunshu out of the corner of his eye and found that although she looked relaxed as she sat on the sofa watching TV, if he looked closely, he would see that her hands on her legs were clasped together, with the fingers slightly white at the joints. This means that she is actually very nervous and perhaps a little excited.
He originally tried to say he would sleep on the sofa, but now he really couldn't say it. I can’t remember how many years ago it was the last time I encountered such an embarrassing situation. Although I’m a little annoyed, it seems not bad? He was just an ordinary person at the beginning. He was fortunate to encounter the system and embarked on a journey of traveling through thousands of worlds. He experienced so many things and knew so many things. However, as his heart became stronger, his heart gradually became indifferent. Apart from the mission, it seemed that there was no other thing that could make him pay attention... Now he has returned to the identity of an ordinary person. He met the right person at the right time and has a suitable identity. Isn't this the best gift given to him by God or the system?
No matter how others try to comfort someone who is stuck in a dead end, they can only play a supporting role. The real key lies in the person himself. Once he figured it out, no matter how complicated and rugged the road was, it would only be a matter of taking a step to get out of it.
This is Jing Ling’s current situation. He figured it out, and the things that had been bothering him were no longer a problem. A faint smile appeared on his lips. He turned to look at Yun Shu and said to her, "Go take a shower first."
Yun Shu looked at him and nodded after a moment, "Okay."
Listening to the slight sound of water coming from the bathroom, Jing Ling sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone. He composed a blessing message and sent it on Weibo. The recipients included everyone they knew and didn't know. After that, he sent another text message of blessing to the key recipients. Today's external work task was completed.
The sound of water had stopped, and after a while the sound of a door opening was heard. Yunshu came out wearing a light pink bathrobe, with her long hair loose and the ends slightly curled and dripping with water. She held a large towel in her hand and wiped her hair as she walked.
"Go take a shower." She glanced at Jing Ling, then turned her head and continued to wipe her hair.
"Yeah." Jing Ling nodded, got up and went to the bathroom. In just five minutes, he came out wearing a bathrobe.
The TV in the living room had been turned off, and only a few small lights were left overhead, emitting a warm yellow light. The door of the room was opened a crack, and the sound of a hair dryer came from inside. He pushed the door open and went in, and saw Yun Shu sitting on the bed with his back to the door, blowing his hair with a hair dryer in one hand.
"Let me do it." Jing Ling closed the door and locked it. As he spoke, he walked over, took the hair dryer from Yun Shu's hand, and sat next to her.
Yun Shu's body stiffened, and then he turned his head to look at him. Although she tried her best to control her emotions, her surprise could still be seen. But she soon relaxed, leaning back slightly into his arms, tilting her head to rest on his arm.
Now it was Jing Ling's turn to stiffen, not because of Yun Shu's intimate actions, but because of the scenery within his sight. Yunshu was wearing a lace-up bathrobe. She snuggled in his arms like this. From his direction, he could just see a hint of snow-white in the light pink bathrobe, like undulating mountains with ravines next to them.
Regardless of gender, this body was like a container tailor-made for him, with every part fitting perfectly. Physiological and psychological adaptation mean that he has completely accepted this change. But from the male's perspective, things that they were already used to seeing now reveal a breathtaking beauty.
"What's wrong?" Yun Shu moved slightly and turned to look at him.
The delicate body in my arms was warm and soft, with the faint fragrance of shower gel filling my nose. Inexplicably, Jing Ling felt a little dry in the mouth.
"It's okay." He replied, looking away and focusing on her hair. He picked up a strand with his fingers, turned on the hair dryer, and concentrated on blowing her hair. After blow-drying her hair, he took the comb from the bedside table and combed her hair. After that, he stood up and prepared to put the hair dryer back into the bathroom. Suddenly, he felt a corner of his bathrobe being pulled. It was Yunshu's hand. Her expression was a little nervous. She asked, "Where are you going?"
Although she didn't say the rest of the words, Jing Ling knew what she was worried about. She probably thought he would refuse again like before.
"I'll put the hair dryer back." He gave her a reassuring smile.
Yunshu looked at him for two seconds before letting go of his hand.
After Jing Ling put the hair dryer back, he came back and saw Yun Shu still sitting on the bed. He closed the door and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Yun Shu seemed a little hesitant, and after two seconds he whispered, "I forgot to bring my pajamas..."
No matter how thoughtful a person is, it is impossible to take everything into consideration, and sometimes they will inevitably overlook some things. When Jing Ling heard Yun Shu say this, he realized what he had overlooked. In fact, Yunshu didn't just bring pajamas, he even forgot to bring everything including toiletries, care sets, and spare clothes. She must have packed these things in advance, but she didn't expect that accident to happen. After intercepting the Shuangshan government's car and leaving the mining area, they couldn't and had no time to go back to get their things, so they hurriedly left Shuangshan Town, took the highway to the neighboring state, and then turned back to the Songzhou government compound to find Governor Hu. After meeting the person and reporting what happened in detail, and then handing over all the evidence to the other party, it was already very late. They rushed back to Junshan overnight. After arriving in the morning, they just sat at home for a while, and Yunshu went out with him to buy groceries. The clothes they were wearing were also picked up at the mall on the way.
If he had remembered it earlier, he could have borrowed a set from Jing Qiu, but she was already asleep now, and it would be a bit inappropriate to knock on the door and wake her up. Jing Ling thought for a moment and opened the closet door beside the bed. There were a few clothes hanging inside, all of them were his. He searched for a while, and finally picked out a shirt and handed it to Yunshu, "I was inconsiderate, but it's too late now and it's New Year's Eve, so I have to inconvenience you and you have to wear it for one night."
Yunshu shook his head and reached out to take the shirt.
Jing Ling turned around consciously. This was supposed to be a gentleman's behavior, but something went wrong. The black pattern on the closet door was made of reflective material, and from his direction, he could clearly see Yunshu changing clothes. A slender neck, round shoulders, delicate butterfly bones and a waist that is so thin that you can hold it in one hand, and then below is...
He closed his eyes in a hurry, but the scene just now kept lingering in his mind and refused to go away. In addition, he had excellent hearing and they were in a quiet room, so he could clearly hear the subtle sounds of body contact with clothes through a distance of one sheet of clothing, and he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
It was clearly just a few breaths, but now it seemed to be infinitely stretched. He felt like a long time had passed before he heard Yun Shu's words.
"I'm fine."
He took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and turned around to look. Yunshu's graceful body was wrapped in a wide shirt, but it did not completely cover it, outlining a faint curve. A pair of straight and slender thighs were revealed under the hem. Against the backdrop of the light gray shirt, her skin looked even whiter and more delicate, like fine porcelain.
Perhaps his gaze was too obvious. Yun Shu felt a little uneasy. She grabbed the hem of her clothes with one hand and asked him, "What's wrong? Is it weird?"
Hearing this, Jing Ling withdrew his gaze without leaving any trace and shook his head, "No, it looks very beautiful. It's late, go to bed."
Yunshu nodded, lifted the quilt and lay down. Jing Ling turned off the overhead light, leaving only a dim bedside lamp. When he lifted the quilt and lay down, he clearly felt Yun Shu's body stiffen next to him. He put his arm around her waist through the quilt, and with a little force he pulled her over and held her in his arms.
"Go to sleep, good night." He placed a kiss in her hair.
Yunshu's body became even stiffer, and he barely heard a reply, "Well, good night."
Having said that, it’s not that easy to fall asleep. Not only Yunshu was nervous, Jingling himself was too, but he didn't show it so obviously. Some things were more difficult than he had imagined, even if he had been mentally prepared. Unfortunately, compared to before, he has made obvious progress now, and they still have a long time, so there is no need to rush. I believe that in the near future, he will pass the most difficult hurdle in his heart.
This was his thought. As for what Yunshu was thinking at the moment, because of the special circumstances, he couldn't guess, or it was difficult to guess.
On a cold winter night in Junshan, the fireworks on New Year's Eve painted the entire night sky brilliantly. In the small and cozy room, the two of them slept in each other's arms.
