Chapter 83 83 "Baby, are you hot?"
The New Year in northern Beijing was filled with joy. Red lanterns hung in strings from streetlights and treetops. Heavy snow fell, blanketing the ground in a blanket of white.
This year’s New Year’s Eve is as lively as ever.
Chen Zan and He Jingsui went back together to celebrate the New Year with Lou Yan. It was his first visit, so He Jingsui went to the mall and bought a lot of things, almost filling up the trunk.
Chen Zan was a little amused and asked him not to buy so much, but He Jingsui didn't listen at all. He bought this and that, showing off his perfect ability to spend money in front of her.
"What if you spend all your money and can't get married in the future?" Chen Zan took the opportunity to tease him.
He Jingsui smiled, still holding the card in his hand. He raised his lips and asked her, "Are you worried about me?"
"No." Chen Zan turned his head to the side, but there was a faint smile between his straight lips.
He Jing then turned her face around, forcing her to meet his gaze. He also teased her, "Or are you afraid that I won't marry you in the future?"
Every time he said these words, he was bold and passionate, and Chen Zan's heart was beating non-stop every time.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her shy reaction was truly adorable, like a young, naive girl of seventeen or eighteen. She turned her back to him and asked, "Who said that to me..."
He Jing then hugged her from behind, pressing his large palm against her belly, pulling her into his arms. He pressed himself against her, his thin lips close to her ear, and whispered in a low voice, "You—"
The low voice made her eardrums tingle and her nerves tingle. A warm breath brushed past her ears. He said, "Who called me husband before? You don't admit it?"
“…”
She was forced to do that by him!
The scenes of their lovemaking quickly emerged in her mind, as well as how she was bullied so harshly by him that she almost cried out every time he bumped into her.
Blushing and heartbeating, Chen Zhan's eyelashes trembled, "Those don't count..."
"So what does it mean?"
He insisted that she explain the reason.
Chen Zhan didn't fall for his trick. She came out of his arms and interrupted the topic with a pouty face, "It's getting late, we have to go!"
But someone was not as good as her. His dark eyes locked onto her, his face showing a leisurely look. He raised his eyebrows at her nonchalantly, "You haven't answered my question yet."
“…”
"I don't want to answer your question." Chen Zhan left him with these words and walked away. The moment he turned around, he even murmured harshly, "Old fox, you always try to trick me."
“…”
He Jingsui laughed out loud because of her, and even his chest was shaking. But he would never leave her alone, so he chased after her to comfort her.
This was He Jingsui's first visit to Chen Zan's house, and the significance of this was already very different.
Chen Zan called Lou Yan early in the morning to tell her that he and He Jingsui were going home to celebrate the New Year together. Lou Yan was very happy on the phone and expressed her welcome to He Jingsui.
So before they arrived, Lou Yan had already gone to the gate of the courtyard to wait. The temperature was still quite cold, and Lou Yan stood outside wrapped in a shawl, looking into the distance to see if there were any cars approaching.
Everyone living in this area basically knows each other. When someone familiar passes by, they will greet them with a smile.
"It's so cold, why don't you go back to the house?"
Lou Yan smiled and said, "I'll wait for Zhanzhan. They'll be home soon."
The neighbor took this opportunity to ask curiously, "I heard Zhanzhan has a boyfriend?"
"Yes, that's right." Lou Yan nodded.
"Zhan Zhan has grown up in the blink of an eye. How is her boyfriend? Is he a good person?"
Lou Yan thought of the disheveled He Jingsui she had seen in the hospital last time. She pursed her lips and smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and even took the initiative to praise him, "That child is tall and handsome, and he will be a good match for our Zhanzhan."
Everyone within a few miles knew that Lou Yan didn't often praise others, so this compliment actually surprised her.
She laughed and joked, "It seems that your mother-in-law is very satisfied with her future son-in-law. When the girl gets married, you must tell me the first time. After all, I grew up watching Zhanzhan. As her aunt, I will definitely drink at Zhanzhan's wedding!"
Lou Yan also laughed, a gentle smile hanging on his lips, "Okay, I'll tell you the first time."
The wedding banquet was booked in advance, and the neighbor waved to her, saying that he had some things to do and asked her not to wait for people at the gate in the cold wind.
The cold wind didn't blow for long before Lou Yan saw a black car driving from the end of the road. She guessed it was He Jingsui's car. Sure enough, the next second, the car stopped in front of her.
The passenger window was slowly rolled down, revealing Chen Zan's beautiful and delicate face.
"Mom?" Chen Zhan's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed the door open and got out. "It's so cold outside, why did you come out?"
He Jingsui also got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and politely called out "Auntie".
Lou Yan nodded in agreement and looked at the man in front of him. He looked mature and handsome. The long black coat made him look tall and well-proportioned. He looked completely different from the last time he saw him.
What made Lou Yan even more satisfied was that the man gave people a sense of security from the inside out. He was no longer the casual and noble young master in those photos. He had shed his youthful arrogance and gradually become steady. He had grown a lot over the years. From a boy to a man, he had completed the transformation into maturity.
It made her feel that if she entrusted Chen Zan completely to him, she would be completely relieved. The wind was strong outside, and it was even snowing. Lou Yan beckoned them to hurry into the house.
He Jingsui carried the gift he bought for Lou Yan in both hands, followed them and walked forward.
After entering the house, Lou Yan went to the kitchen to pour them some hot water, then sat down next to Chen Zhan. She asked He Jingsui with concern, "It's been snowy all the way here, and the driving is slippery. It must be tiring, right?"
"No, Auntie." He Jingsui shook his head, politely answered her question, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This is your first visit and I don't know what you like. I picked some things at random. I hope you like them."
"Thank you, Xiao He, for your thoughtfulness."
“It should be.”
The atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious, and Chen Zan's worries along the way were all relieved at this moment. She looked at He Jingsui who was sitting opposite her, pursed her lips and exchanged glances with him. After being caught by him, she retracted her gaze and looked at Lou Yan beside her. She was holding her mother's arm, leaning her head on her shoulder affectionately, acting like a child.
He Jingsui saw all of this, with a smile in his eyes. He did not expose her pampering, but indulged her and allowed her to look at his seductive side from time to time.
They cooked the New Year's Eve meal together. Their family custom is to eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve, which symbolizes the reunion of the family. In the past, Lou Yan would make noodles and cook for the family. This time, Chen Zan volunteered and asked his mother to give him this task.
"Can you?" He Jingsui asked beside her.
“I’ve never done this before, and I want to try it.”
"Then I'll accompany you?"
Chen Zhan was happy, "Okay."
Seeing how energetic the two young people were, Lou Yan took the initiative to make room for them and walked out of the kitchen with the vegetables that needed to be picked.
Chen Zan poured the flour into a clean small basin, and He Jing was responsible for adding water.
"Hey... too much, He Jingsui has too much..." Chen Zan frowned slightly, looking at the diarrhea-like thing in the small basin, "Why did you add so much water..."
"How about some more flour?"
"Then just add a little bit, don't pour too much..."
He Jingsui picked up the flour bag and carefully poured flour into it. Chen Zan stirred it with her hands. She picked up the small basin and blew the flour towards his face when He Jingsui was not paying attention.
White flour stained his face, nose, and even eyelashes. Chen Zhan laughed out loud, saying that he had turned into a little cat. He Jingsui did not let Chen Zhan go, blowing flour at her face as well. He laughed at her, "Who is the little cat?"
Their cheerful laughter echoed clearly from the kitchen, spreading throughout the living room. Lou Yan could hear it, and the cheerful sound of it made her feel happy too. She turned her head and looked towards the kitchen. Under the warm light, she saw their faces covered in flour, yet they couldn't hide their unbridled, happy smiles. The young man raised his hand to scratch the nose of the girl who was laughing happily beside him, a smile in his eyes filled with love.
At that moment, she felt that they were the happiest two people in the world.
The arrival of Chen Zan and He Jingsui made this home no longer lonely. Lou Yan felt a little sad. After so many years, she finally felt the feeling of family reunion on this day.
The area around his eyes felt sore and soon mist formed in his eye sockets. Not wanting them to notice, Lou Yan raised his head and blinked, trying to push away the soreness.
"mom--"
Chen Zhan's voice came from behind.
Lou Yan was at a loss for a moment. She hurriedly tidied herself up, turned around and smiled at Chen Zhan, "What's wrong, Zhan Zhan?"
Chen Zan walked towards her and hugged her without saying anything.
The sudden movement made Lou Yan stunned. She was several beats slow to react before she came back to her senses. His palm climbed up her waist and back very carefully. She was very afraid that this was her hallucination. "What...what happened?"
"I'm fine," Chen Zhan hugged her and said softly, "I just want to hug you."
Lou Yan patted her back gently, as if to comfort her.
But Chen Zan's eyes turned red because of this action. She thought of Lou Yan who was sick before, Lou Yan who was out of control of her emotions, and Lou Yan who was ignored by her. She felt very uncomfortable and always felt that she was not a good daughter.
"Were you very sad during those years when I was away..." Chen Zan's voice choked slightly.
Lou Yan was indeed very sad, but she was more afraid. She was afraid that Chen Zan would abandon her like Chen Jinnian did.
She didn't answer the question, but smiled and comforted Chen Zan, "That happened several years ago. Can we not mention it now?"
"As long as you are still with me, I won't be sad."
Chen Zhan was really about to cry. She hugged her tightly, and then she suddenly realized how frail her mother was. "I'm sorry, Mom..."
"It's okay, Zhanzhan..."
She pushed her out and cupped her face with her no longer delicate hands. Lou Yan looked at her tearful eyes, curled her lips, and gently teased her, "You're such a grown-up girl, and you're still crying like a child?"
Chen Zhan burst into laughter and said, "I didn't."
"Zhanzhan," Lou Yan called her seriously. It was the first time she spoke to her so earnestly. "Mom hopes you can be happy, happy for the rest of your life. Xiao He is a reliable person, and Mom knows that his feelings are all true. But Mom wants to tell you something. If one day he doesn't like you this much anymore, don't shed tears alone, and don't hide in bed alone with your thoughts. Come back to Mom quickly. Mom will always have your back, understand?"
She didn't want to see Chen Zhan become the person she once was. She knew how painful and helpless she would be, and she didn't want her daughter to go through the same path she had.
Unable to control the surging tears, Chen Zhan hugged Lou Yan and assured her with a choked voice, "Don't worry, Mom. He Jingsui won't let me become like that."
The evening's Spring Festival Gala ended with the sound of firecrackers outside. There was not a single star in the dark night. Chen Zhan stood by the balcony railing, watching the adults and children passing by on the road outside. The snow on the ground had not melted completely, and it made a crunching sound when stepped on.
"Bang!"
The brave little boy lit the cannon in his hand, and then threw it far away with all his strength. A group of children followed him and hid here and there, and their childish laughter echoed one after another.
Chen Zan was also happy and didn't even feel cold because of the biting cold wind.
The moment she felt warm was when someone put a woolen shawl on her shoulders. The moment the thick shawl wrapped around her, she was surrounded by thick warmth.
Chen Zhan turned around and saw that it was He Jingsui. He was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm worried you'd be cold." He Jing then pointed at the woolen shawl on her body.
After being reminded by him, Chen Zhan actually felt a little cold. She got into He Jingsui's coat, put her arms around his waist, and laughed wantonly in his arms, "You won't be cold this way."
He Jingsui's coat was so big that it could cover her whole body. He did so, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and locking her in his arms.
Snowflakes were falling, some falling on his head, some falling on his eyelashes.
Chen Zan looked at him, "A Sui."
"Um?"
"Are you happy today?"
"Yeah, happy." He Jingsui said seriously.
This was the first time since Ye Qingfei's death that he felt at home and felt the care and love of his elders.
But Chen Zhan told him, "He Jingsui, you will never be alone again. My mother is your mother. I am my mother's daughter, and you are my mother's son. She will love you as much as she loves me. This is our home."
It is really hard to describe what this moment feels like. It is like a person walking in the dark night for a long time. He is almost used to the loneliness and coldness, but suddenly one day, a warm light appears beside him. After feeling this warmth once, he no longer likes that kind of coldness and is eager to catch this light.
Fortunately, he really caught this ray of light.
He really had a home again, their home, and no longer his home alone.
He leaned in and sealed their love with a kiss, a passionate, scorching kiss in the cold, snowy weather. The wind rustled past his ears, and Chen Zhan could only hear his own heartbeat. His lips and teeth were sealed, so deep and so fast. Chen Zhan closed his eyes, responding bit by bit. She held him tightly, as if melting into his arms. Their lips and teeth pressed together, their breaths mingling, filled with temptation and desire for each other.
The New Year's bells are beginning the countdown.
The last second ends.
Suddenly, colorful and dazzling flowers bloomed in the sky. Such a gorgeous moment was so fleeting that it made people feel extremely beautiful.
The successive explosions interrupted the charming and lingering moments between them. He Jing subconsciously let go of her, his eyes falling on that warm and fair little face. Her lips, glistening with water, seduced his mind silently.
He pursed his lips and looked away.
They turned their heads together to look at the dark sky, and saw colorful flowers blooming one after another against the black background.
So beautiful.
The faint light illuminated her face, and Chen Zhan's eyes sparkled, "So beautiful—"
Turning her head, she looked at He Jingsui who had been holding her tightly, her lips curved deeply. His eyes were full of love, and when she looked at him, it was as if she was looking at her whole world.
"He Jingsui."
Chen Zhan wrapped her arms around his waist and swayed in his arms, only her beautiful, bright eyes glued to his face. A sweet smile curved her lips as she gave him her first New Year's blessing, "Happy New Year, and may you be happy every day from now on."
The snow-capped mountains seemed to be in an uproar.
He Jingsui looked at the woman in his arms. He put his arm around her waist and swayed with her indulgently, the smile on his lips never fading.
The fluttering snowflakes fell on them and soaked their heads.
He really loves her.
"Happy New Year, Zhan Zhan." His voice was gentle, as if floating in her ears.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhan suddenly stood on tiptoe, moved her hands from his waist up to hook his neck, and this time she was the first to block his lips.
Her movements were clumsy and cautious, imitating his conquering moves, biting his lips, twisting his tongue, and their breathing soon became entangled.
He Jing then understood.
He understood what Chen Zan was telling her.
So he couldn't stand her teasing any longer, raised his hands and clasped the back of her head, deepening the kiss in response.
They did not sleep together at night because Lou Yan was there, so He Jing slept in the guest room. At two o'clock in the morning, he lay on the wide bed, one arm resting on the back of his head, and the other hand flipping his mobile phone. He had no intention of sleeping, nor did he want to play with his phone.
He was savoring the kiss.
The corners of his lips lifted uncontrollably. He thought of Chen Zan's awkward kissing skills, chuckled softly, and muttered to himself, "Learn from me..."
The phone vibrated, "Buzz--"
He Jing then scooped it over and took a quick look. It turned out that the person next door was having trouble sleeping just like him, so he asked him if he had slept yet.
He Jingsui: No.
【Chen Zhan: I want to sleep with you.】
Lou Yan had already fallen asleep. In order not to wake her up, Chen Zan tiptoed barefoot to He Jingsui's door and knocked twice lightly.
The door was opened.
Most of the light source was blocked by his tall figure. Chen Zan put his index finger to his lips to tell him not to make a sound. He Jing then raised his eyebrows and watched the person outside the door walk in quietly.
His eyes fell on her bare feet; she was not wearing shoes.
So the moment he closed the door again, He Jingsui ignored her whispered cry, picked her up horizontally, stuffed her into the quilt, and then went to sleep himself.
The temperature was low in winter, but she was only wearing a thin nightgown.
He felt sorry for her being cold, not even for a moment. He held her against his chest, his low, deep voice filling the quilt, "Why did you run over here without shoes? And in such thin clothes, aren't you cold?"
Finally back in his arms, Chen Zhan hugged him and rubbed him hard, answering every question he asked seriously, "Shoes make noises when you put them on. Of course I'm cold wearing such thin clothes. Can you warm me up?"
"How do you want to warm yourself?" He Jing pinched her waist mischievously.
Chen Zan was so frightened that she screamed out, but she deliberately suppressed her voice, "What are you doing, He Jingsui..."
"What are you doing—" He was so mean, the hand around her waist began to get restless, pinching here and touching there, "to help you warm up..."
“…”
His hands were icy cold against her warm skin, and Chen Zhan shuddered, "Don't touch me..."
There was a rustling sound in the bed, and soon her hands were held by He Jingsui. He turned over and pressed her directly under him. He Jingsui held her wrists with one hand and lifted the hem of her clothes with the other hand. His fingers were so flexible and skillful that they stirred her heartstrings and aroused her nerves.
Chen Zhan felt like he had turned into a pool of water and was being held in his palm.
But He Jingsui kept asking her, "Baby, are you hot?"
What he got in return was two moans from Chen Zan, which hooked his soul, tugged at his heart, and gradually released the desire that was suppressed under him.
He suddenly wanted to do something bad to her.
Kissing and biting, breathing rapidly.
She wanted to continue, but was stopped by Chen Zan's nervous and panicked voice, "Don't do this here..."
He Jing stopped and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Chen Zhan's voice was filled with panting, "My mother is..."
"Then don't scream..." He Jing smiled and kissed her.
