As they left the hot pot restaurant, Lu Ying grabbed Xi Jun's hand, looked up into the man's eyes, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Xi Jun asked, somewhat puzzled, "What?"
The woman's eyes welled up with tears, and she asked him in a trembling voice, "Working as a network administrator, running errands and delivering wontons."
Xi Jun thought that Lu Ying felt sorry for him because of what Lin Junjie said. After all, after they got together, he would sometimes unintentionally mention things about his past part-time jobs, and women would always feel sorry for him.
He smiled nonchalantly, took the woman's hand and gently stroked it, "It's nothing serious. Old Lin is exaggerating. The wheel just slipped a little, the car tilted a bit, but I didn't fall. I did have a slight fever afterwards, but it subsided in a day. It's nothing."
"It's been so long, it's nothing."
When he spoke, the woman's eyes were only moist, but as soon as he finished speaking, crystal tears instantly dripped from her eyes and landed directly on the back of his hand that was holding hers.
In the early autumn air, the temperature was so hot that it made him shiver.
"Yingying..."
He rushed into her arms and a soft body, almost causing Xi Jun to lose her footing.
Lu Ying hugged his waist, burying her face in his chest and sobbing, "Xi Jun, why didn't you tell me sooner!"
The scalding heat seeped through the shirt fabric onto his skin, making the man's heart tremble and his breath catch in his throat.
Even next to a crowded hot pot restaurant, even on a brightly lit public roadside, even with his ears already red, Xi Jun still hugged the woman tightly.
"It's alright, it's all in the past." He raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of the woman's neck, soothing her.
Lu Ying cried even harder, shaking her head in his arms and sobbing, "No, no, if only you had told me sooner..."
What would have happened if you had told me sooner?
She only met Xi Jun this year, so it was only a few months apart.
Lu Ying recalled how she agreed to date Liu Fengming because of that bowl of hot wontons on a rainy day, and how, over the years, she felt that she had wasted her feelings on a dog.
At that time, she really believed that Liu Fengming had bought it, and she never doubted it for many years afterward, thinking that the man had changed his mind after marriage.
It wasn't until she unintentionally learned the truth about what happened back then that she realized it wasn't that Liu Fengming had changed his mind; it was that he had never really cared about her from the beginning. She had been foolish enough to believe he was deeply in love with her just because he pretended to be nice to her.
So many years of feelings were wasted on the wrong person.
It turns out that she and Xi Jun had a connection back then.
Lu Ying felt increasingly distressed and cried uncontrollably.
Xi Jun didn't understand what Lu Ying meant, but the woman was crying so sadly that his heart ached, and he hugged her and comforted her softly.
“It’s okay, Yingying. It’s not too late for you to know now. Life is long, and we have plenty of time to be together. I can tell you anything you want to know.”
The man, unaware of Lu Ying's thoughts, inadvertently struck a chord with her words of comfort.
Yes, life is long, and she and Xi Jun have a lot of time together.
So what if it was a little late? They still got together.
Lu Ying raised her head, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and without giving Xi Jun a chance to react, grabbed the man's hand and hailed a taxi by the roadside.
"Yingying, are we going home?" Xi Jun asked after getting into the car. He remembered that the woman had said she had a headache, and then said, "Does your head still hurt? Let's go to the hospital to get it checked out first."
Lu Ying didn't reply to him immediately. Instead, she told the driver the name of a hotel, a high-end hotel in the city.
Upon hearing that they were going to a hotel, Xi Jun's expression became slightly unnatural. "Yingying, we..."
Lu Ying interrupted him, and the hand that the man was holding moved slightly, interlocking her fingers with his.
"Xi Jun, we're not going home tonight. My head doesn't hurt; I was just using that as an excuse."
As she spoke, she looked up and stared into the man's eyes. Her direct and passionate gaze made Xi Jun's heart race. "Tonight, you'll listen to me. Wherever I say we'll go, we'll go."
Xi Jun felt the air thinning, her breathing becoming somewhat uncontrollable, and her voice a little hoarse, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
He didn't know how things had turned out this way. He was feeling unwell just a moment ago, and now he was being dragged to a hotel by the woman he loved.
After checking into the room, Lu Ying took him to the elevator, and when they arrived at the floor, she led him to the room and helped him swipe his card to enter.
During this time, Xi Jun was completely dazed and didn't react at all, following the woman with her ears red.
Before he could react, the woman suddenly pushed him.
With his back against the wall, he was dazed and confused. As his lips parted slightly, a soft, fragrant object pressed against his skin.
"Um... English..."
His words were cut off as Lu Ying tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Teasing and penetrating.
Was Xi Jun confused? Yes, he was.
Although he was over thirty, this was truly his first time in a relationship, and he was completely bewildered every time they kissed.
My mind went blank. First, my ears felt hot, then my face and neck felt hot, and then my whole body felt hot.
The heat made his brain crackle and pop, like fireworks were constantly going off.
Could he refuse? Absolutely not.
Almost the instant Lu Ying probed in, he wrapped his arms around her waist, using one hand to help her and the other to support the back of her head as he responded.
The air grew stuffy, their breathing became noticeably disordered, and ambiguous soft moans and smacking sounds emanated from the two of them.
When the kiss ended, both of them were panting heavily, and when they separated, they were still connected by silver threads.
Lu Ying's cheeks were flushed, and her almond-shaped eyes were misty.
She looked at Xi Jun with eyes that seemed to hold hooks, then suddenly smiled, her allure filling the room.
Xi Jun's breath hitched, and her already out-of-control body became increasingly uncomfortable.
Lu Ying scratched his palm, the ticklish sensation sending a tingling sensation all the way to her heart.
He called out in a hoarse voice, "Yingying..."
The woman's smile grew even more alluring. She reached out her other hand and touched his almost bleeding earlobe, her voice soft and sweet, as if she were sighing, "Ah-Jun, you're so easily embarrassed!"
Xi Jun grabbed her tickling hand, about to grab the one that was causing trouble near his face, when her soft fingertips traced along his earlobe and jawline, sending a shiver down his spine.
Her fingertips lingered on his chin, and Lu Ying gently lifted it, her voice seductive, "Ah Jun, shall we take a bath together?"
How could it be bad? He simply couldn't refuse her.
Xi Jun tried to grab her fingers, but the woman deftly dodged him and pulled him toward the bathroom.
"You promised, so you have to listen to me tonight. Even if you don't want to, you have to answer 'okay'."
He was pulled into the bathroom, and as the door closed, he replied in a low, husky voice, "Okay..."
