Chapter 14014 Meeting
Next January is the New Year.
Xu Tingwan couldn't help but buy a plane ticket to Liancheng. She didn't tell Chi Du that in the past six months, they would only video chat and occasionally talk when Chi Du was on vacation. Later, as vacations became less and less, their chats became less and less. The most recent time was a week ago when Chi Du told her that he had ranked first in the school in the final exam.
After chatting for half a year, she had figured out the daily schedule of Liancheng No. 1 Middle School and calculated the time to arrive at the school gate just in time for school to be over.
Watching a group of students in blue and white uniforms rushing out of the school gate, she didn't expect that her boyfriend was one of them.
Chi Du was surrounded by the crowd, with a black backpack hanging loosely on his shoulder. He wore a black down jacket over his blue and white school uniform and glasses. He was tall and thin, and had a good look, so he stood out in the crowd.
Xu Tingwan was standing not far from the school gate, and the moment she saw him, she actually wanted to run away.
What if he doesn't want me to come? What if he doesn't want others to know that she is his girlfriend? After all, I am four years older than him.
She gripped the handle of the suitcase tightly with her fingers, lowered her head and pursed her lips, looking at the toes of her white shoes. She didn't feel as excited as before.
Suddenly, a gust of cold air blew past her ears, and the toes of her white shoes met a pair of sneakers. She froze, her gaze slowly moving upwards, from the blue and white school uniform pants, to the black hoodie, the blue and white school uniform jacket, and the oversized black down jacket...
Xu Tingwan's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly lost her patience and met his gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Chi Du reached out and hugged her.
"Sister, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Xu Tingwan rubbed his face, which was a little cold. "I missed you, and I wanted to give you a surprise."
Chi Du's chest was shaken. "It's really a surprise, an extremely pleasant surprise."
Everyone passing by turned their eyes to them. A few girls passing by seemed to recognize Chi Du and excitedly shared it with the people around them. Some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Xu Tingwan blushed, pushed Yan Du away and said, "Is Auntie home? I'm going to go see Auntie. I came here so suddenly without even telling Auntie Nian Nian."
Chi Du curled his lips, "She talks about you every day. Every time the test scores come out, I have to listen to your heroic deeds again. She's almost putting up your picture and letting me worship it before the test."
"puff--"
Xu Tingwan couldn't help laughing and looked at him with curved eyes, "What happened to my heroic deeds? Aren't they impressive?"
Chi Du held her hand with one hand and pushed the suitcase with the other. He even took the bag from Xu Tingwan's shoulder and put it on his back. The girls' things piled on him added a bit of humor for no reason.
"Awesome, of course my girlfriend is awesome."
The two words "my" are deliberately emphasized between the pronunciations.
*
Chi Du's home was very close to the school, only a five-minute walk away. They chatted as they walked, so they arrived quickly. After getting off the elevator, they stood aside waiting for Chi Du to open the door. He entered the password very slowly, as if they were not at his home. After looking at her, he stopped entering the password and took her hand to walk towards the emergency exit.
"Late crossing!"
Xu Tingwan lowered her voice and called him, but what she got in return was a passionate and eager kiss.
She was wearing a white woolen coat today, a white sweater underneath, and a plaid woolen skirt. When she got on the elevator, she unbuttoned her coat because she was hot, which made it easier for someone to cause trouble.
He placed one hand on her neck, preventing her from retreating. The other hand, originally on her waist, had begun to wander around without knowing when. The moment it touched the soft flesh of her waist, Chi Du's breathing became noticeably irregular. Thus ended this long and intense kiss.
Chi Du tidied her clothes and pinched her face reluctantly, "I'm so happy. I'm really happy to see you."
There were still tears in Xu Tingwan's eyes and her lips were abnormally red. She could feel Chi Du's touch just now. Although she was nervous, she did not reject it. This was the most uncontrollable time Chi Du had been since they started dating. Usually they just kissed and hugged each other, and he had never overstepped the boundaries.
When he was an adult, she always treated him as a child. Now that he has become a high school student and a child, Xu Tingwan wants him to be an adult again.
Xu Tingwan put her arms around his waist and leaned against his chest, whispering, "I miss you so much."
"I wonder why there's a suitcase here...whose is it..."
The sound of the door opening was accompanied by a woman's puzzled question. Xu Tingwan suddenly woke up. She patted Chi Du's hand and pointed outside the emergency passage.
Chi Du held her hand and squeezed it, "It's okay, it's my mother."
Xu Tingwan: “?”
More scared, okay?
They waited until Yu Nian closed the door before walking out. After Chi Du pretended to enter the password, Xu Tingwan suddenly asked, "Isn't there a fingerprint?"
"I deliberately let you see it. I think you should remember it, right? Come when there's no one around next time."
Xu Tingwan: “…”
"Or should I take your fingerprints now?"
Xu Tingwan was amused by his childishness and urged him to hurry up.
The moment the door opened, Chi Du's figure blocked her view. She heard Yu Nian's voice, "Are you back? Why are you so late today? Hey, did you see the suitcase at the door? I don't know whose it is..."
Chi Du's figure moved aside, and Xu Tingwan's petite body slowly appeared in front of Yu Nian, causing her voice to suddenly stop.
“This…this this this this this this this this…?”
Yu Nian's fingers moved back and forth between Xu Tingwan and Chi Du, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what this meant.
"Mom, don't you even recognize the academic genius you talk about every day?"
Yu Nian was stunned.
Xu Tingwan glanced at Chi Du and smiled gently, "Aunt Niannian, I'm Wanwan."
Yu Nian was stunned. He walked over, pinched her arm, looked left and right, and his eyes gradually became moist. "Wanwan, it's actually Wanwan. You've grown so big..."
“…”
Xu Tingwan was dragged along by Yu Nian to chat for a long time, and finally the conversation stopped temporarily when Chi Du complained that he was hungry.
Xu Tingwan was pulled into a bedroom by Chi Du, and behind her was Yu Nian's voice asking Chi Du to treat her well.
"Is this your room?"
Xu Tingwan looked around curiously. The only room of the opposite sex she had entered was Xu Tingyan's. It was a real mess. She didn't want to enter it again after entering it once. But Chi Du's was different. It was very clean and simple. Things were arranged in a clear order. Even the books on the bookshelf were arranged according to categories.
Chi Du leaned against the door and looked at Xu Tingwan's curious expression. He smiled softly and sat down at the desk. "Sister, are you leaving this time?"
Xu Tingwan leaned on the desk facing him. She picked up a homework he had done and looked at it. She replied casually, "Of course I have to go, but it might be a little late. Let's go back before New Year's Eve..."
Chi Du looked at her and asked, "Sister, what is the reason for your visit this time?"
Xu Tingwan looked up at him, "What's the reason...? Is the reason for the academic god to give you extra lessons loud enough?"
Chi Du lowered his head and smiled, "Of course it's loud, but... is it just studying?"
Xu Tingwan's eyelids jumped, and the stool slid on the ground with a harsh sound. Then Chi Du stood in front of her, brushing away the books on the table with one hand. The messy test papers and books hit the floor with a loud noise. Before Xu Tingwan could react, he gently lifted her up with his other hand and let her sit on it.
There was heating in the room, so Xu Tingwan took off her coat and scarf when she entered the room. Without those obstructions, Chi Du's hand on her body was particularly clear.
Chi Du supported her with both hands behind her back, leaned close to her and whispered, "Sister."
Xu Tingwan's heart trembled when she heard this. She held his face with her hands and couldn't help but kiss him. The light touch made Chi Du's body stiffen.
There are so many surprises today.
"I didn't feel it, can you do it again?"
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Xu Tingwan moved closer as if bewitched. The moment Chi Du touched her, he held her head with his hands and kissed her hard.
Biting and sucking gently, then prying open her teeth little by little, everything was controlled by Chi Du.
"Can I kiss you somewhere else?"
Chi Du suddenly stepped out and looked at her. Xu Tingwan was confused and just nodded blankly without even hearing what he said.
The person who got permission released himself more, slowly withdrew and kissed the corner of her mouth, then moved back a little to kiss her ear. Xu Tingwan trembled all over, and her hand suddenly grabbed the hem of his sweatshirt. She heard a very light laugh, and then the electric current spread from her ear to her body.
Chi Du bit her.
A blush appeared instantly, and Chi Du slowly kissed down as if he had succeeded, while his other hand also explored the edge of the sweater.
The kiss fell on the collarbone, and his hand slowly explored it.
Xu Tingwan had never expected this side of Chi Du, and since she had little experience, she could only follow him nervously and obediently.
When he touched a certain edge, his movements suddenly stopped, and then he withdrew and gently kissed the corner of her mouth with comfort, "Sorry..."
Xu Tingwan blinked and asked blankly, "Why should I apologize?"
"Sister is... quite disappointed?"
“…”
Meeting Chi Du's half-smile, Xu Tingwan couldn't help but bite his hand, but his teeth were soft and had no deterrent effect at all.
He licked his lower lip and said, "So... continue?"
“…”
Xu Tingwan pushed him away and jumped down, but her legs were so weak that she almost fell face down on the ground. It was Chi Du who picked her up and put her on the chair.
"Sister, you're trying to scam me. I don't have anything to give you except books."
Xu Tingwan: “…”
"Oh yeah, and me too, sister, do you want me?"
“…”
How did he become so annoying?
*
At the dinner table, Yu Nian was extremely enthusiastic towards her. He kept picking food for her and asked her about her situation in recent years while sitting next to her. Seeing Chi Du sitting alone in silence, Xu Tingwan couldn't help but smile.
"Wanwan, don't leave tonight and sleep here. We have another bedroom. I've already cleaned it for you. The sheets and quilt covers are all new."
"Thank you, Auntie Nian Nian."
"Why are you thanking me..."
“…”
…
After dinner, Yu Nian still sat and chatted with her. The task of washing dishes and cleaning up was given to Chi Du, who did it very smoothly. He stood up and started cleaning up.
Xu Tingwan pointed at his figure with some doubt, but Yu Nian smiled and said, "It's okay, he does it very well, so let him do it."
“…”
…
When Xu Tingwan came out of the shower, the lights in the living room were off. Looking at the master bedroom, Xu Tingwan wanted to go forward in her slippers to take a look, but was dragged into another room by a pair of hands. The culprit was conscientious enough to gently close the door.
Xu Tingwan was wearing a suspender nightgown and the ends of her hair were still a little damp. Before she could react, she was pressed against the door.
"Chi, Du!"
Chi Du hugged her and rubbed her, "I'm here."
"Don't always..."
Xu Tingwan bit her lower lip and couldn't say the following words.
"Don't always say what?" Chi Du said with a smile.
"……have no idea."
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. I want to stay with you all the time."
He rubbed her neck like a puppy again, and Xu Tingwan's heart softened immediately. She put her arms around his waist and hugged him back, "Then I will... come to see you often in the future?"
"……don't want……"
"Um?"
"I'll have withdrawals, and that'll be even harder."
Xu Tingwan paused and gently touched his head, "Talk to me."
Chi Du let go of her and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Talk about your school life? Anything is fine."
Now I just want to talk to him.
"But what if I want to do something else?"
He looked serious, but what he said made people think a lot. Xu Tingwan glared at him, took his hand and sat aside.
"How are you getting along with your classmates at school?"
Xu Tingwan shook his hand.
"It's okay. I was unsure at first. I thought since I'm much older than them, they wouldn't want to play with me, but the reality was beyond my expectation."
"That's fine. What about studying? Or which school do you want to go to?"
"Yulin University, I heard Yulin University is strong in mathematics."
Xu Tingwan tilted his head and thought for a moment, "If you can maintain this score, you can choose any major at Beicheng University."
Chi Du raised an eyebrow, "Why? Sister looks down on your alma mater."
Xu Tingwan patted his shoulder. This man started to act frivolously after just a few words, which was completely different from before.
She didn't want to talk to him anymore and wanted to get up and leave, but someone grabbed her wrist and hugged her from behind again. The moment her body was pressed against her, Xu Tingwan was stunned for a few seconds.
"I want to be closer to you. Besides, I also like math. Yuda's math department is the best in the country, so it's a good choice for me to go there. Besides, I haven't even started yet. So I want to ask my sister, a top science student, why did you choose Yuda? It's not a strong major."
He had been curious about this question for a long time.
Xu Tingwan felt a little guilty when she thought of her second-year experience back then. She turned around and faced him, "Don't be so impulsive like me. I was a serious perfectionist back then. I didn't do well on the English test, so I punished myself by studying English from now on."
Chi Du looked at her and stretched out his tone, "So willful? Didn't your aunt say anything to you?"
Xu Tingwan sighed, "Don't mention it. I used it up when I ran away from home."
Chi Du looked at her and smiled softly, his eyes gleaming with uncontrollable joy.
Before Xu Tingwan could finish her words, she was brought to the bed. He pressed her shoulders and smiled, "Sister, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold."
Xu Tingwan: “?”
Although the words were frivolous, Chi Du did not make any further moves. He stood up and asked her, "Would you like something to drink?"
He paused and added, "There's orange soda."
Xu Tingwan blinked, tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Don't you dislike drinking these sweet drinks?"
Chi Du put one hand in his pocket. He hadn't changed his clothes yet. He was still wearing his school uniform during the day, except that he had changed his sweatshirt into a white T-shirt.
"I don't think I said that."
"But you only took a small sip each time, so I felt like you might not like it very much."
"That was before, how can it be compared with now?"
"?"
Chi Du came back not long after he left, with two bottles of soda in his hands, both opened and with straws inserted.
"When I miss you, I drink a bottle. It tastes pretty good once I get used to it."
Xu Tingwan took a sip, sweet bubbles burst in his heart, and a smile appeared on his brows.
"I didn't expect my boyfriend is actually a high school student. If Aunt Nian Nian knew about this, would she kick me out?"
Chi Du leaned on the desk and looked at her lively eyes and eyebrows. He chuckled at her words and said, "No, she will just kick me out."
"Why?"
"You are her idol. It's not enough for her to keep you by her side, how can she kick you out?"
Xu Tingwan was amused by him. She swung her snow-white legs, Chi Du's words echoing in her mind. Suddenly, she said, "Chi Du, I feel like you've changed. You've become more... interesting."
"Because next to the little sun, even the tallest iceberg will willingly collapse."
Xu Tingwan looked at him with a smile.
Lin Leqi often describes her as "little sun." She says she warms people without realizing it, and her reach is wide, encompassing everyone from grandmothers in their eighties and nineties to children as young as one or two. With her good character, academic prowess, and strong abilities, she truly shines wherever she goes.
Chi Du put down the soda, "Sister, don't you like it?"
The suddenly enlarged face caught Xu Tingwan off guard. She supported herself with one hand and leaned back to create some distance. "I like it. I like it so much. How can I not like it when my boyfriend can transform?"
The atmosphere became inexplicably cheerful. Xu Tingwan looked at his smile and drank a sip of soda with satisfaction. It was very sweet.
*
The next day, Xu Tingwan got up very early, but unexpectedly, Chi Du and Yunian got up even earlier.
She looked at the clock on the living room wall in disbelief. It was only half past five.
"Wanwan is awake. I'll make some breakfast and you can eat later."
Xu Tingwan smiled and nodded.
Chi Du was wearing a black windbreaker, black pants, and a baseball cap. When he saw her coming out, he took off the Bluetooth headset from one ear and put it in her ear. He leaned down slightly and smiled, "Sister, come running with me?"
Xu Tingwan glanced at Yu Nian who was busy in the kitchen and blinked. She had never had any athletic talent since she was a child. She failed even with an 800-point grade in high school, let alone in college. She would get sick if she ran two steps, and she would die if she ran two laps.
Chi Du understood the change in her expression and deliberately pulled her wrist to walk out, "Let's go, sister."
"...Can I not go?"
"Can you bear to let me go out alone?"
“…”
The result of being soft-hearted was that he was running in front, and Xu Tingwan was chasing him in her down jacket. She would start cursing after running a few steps. Hearing Chi Du's laughter, she knew he did it on purpose, and she was so angry that she chased him and beat him.
"Sister, you're running pretty fast."
"Chi, Du!"
"Yes, yes."
"I won't run anymore. Whoever wants to run can run."
She sat on a bench in the park, stretched her legs, closed her eyes, and folded her arms across her chest, looking as if she was in a desperate situation.
Chi Du thought it was adorable, but also felt the contrast was too great. After seeing her gentle and good-tempered side for a long time, this was the first time he saw her so angry.
He was no longer at the age where he needed to make girls angry to get their attention, but at this moment Chi Du couldn't help but tease her.
He reached out and pinched her face, pulling it away. Xu Tingwan suddenly opened her eyes and glared at him. He didn't dodge, but just faced her without loosening his hands. Xu Tingwan stepped on him, slapped his hand away and was about to walk around him. Seeing that she walked as fast as she ran just now, he knew that she was really angry.
Chi Du touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, caught up with her in three or two steps, grabbed her wrist, held it and interlocked their fingers, and refused to let go no matter how she tried to shake it off. In the end, Xu Tingwan felt tired and let him go, but still didn't speak to him.
"Sister, what do you want to eat for lunch today? Let's go out to eat. My mom has to go dancing today and she definitely won't have time to take care of us."
"...Let's go to the movies after dinner? There's a new movie coming out soon, shall we go see it?"
"If you don't want to go to the cinema, you can stay at home. I have a projector in my room, so I can watch whatever I want, but it's not new."
“…”
"Sister, please take care of me."
“…”
Xu Tingwan raised her eyelids and wanted to say something, but a crisp voice caught her attention.
A girl with a ponytail, wearing a sweatshirt and black pants, ran up to them and called out Chi Du. Chi Du turned his eyes and responded softly, but the girl smiled and talked to him.
"You're here for a morning run on the first day of vacation. You're working so hard."
“…”
Chi Du didn't respond, and the girl continued to find topics to talk about.
"Is this your sister? I've always heard that you have a sister, but I didn't expect her to be so beautiful."
Chi Du curled his lips, and Xu Tingwan felt his arm being lifted up. Their interlocked hands were placed nakedly in front of the girl, as if to say that someone finally asked me this question.
Xu Tingwan saw a few seconds of embarrassment on her face, and then she changed her expression smoothly.
"Which sister am I holding hands with?"
The meaning is obvious.
Xu Tingwan glared at Chi Du and put her hand back in her pocket. His hand actually followed in and held her hand inside.
Xu Tingwan's mouth twitched. He didn't want to care about his childish thoughts and smiled at the girl.
The woman fixed her hair and held out her hand to her, "Hello, my name is Chen Tiantian."
When Xu Tingwan was about to reach out her hand, she was stopped by Chi Du. She broke free and said, "Hello, my name is Xu Tingwan."
"Xu Tingwan..." Chen Tiantian murmured.
"If there's nothing else, we're leaving."
Chi Du stood nearby with one hand in his pocket and spoke nonchalantly, obviously a little unhappy.
"Why didn't you reply to the WeChat message I sent you?" Chen Tiantian looked at him and asked directly.
"Who are you..."
Xu Tingwan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this girl to be so fierce.
"What about the final question?" Xu Tingwan interrupted with a chuckle.
Chi Du lowered his eyes and looked at her. He seldom checked WeChat. Apart from chatting with Xu Tingwan, he would report to Yu Nian. He would ignore messages from other people if possible. They were irrelevant anyway. People who knew him would call him directly if they wanted to contact him instead of sending those boring messages.
He himself didn't know that Chen Tiantian had sent him a message.
Chen Tiantian's eyes were filled with shock, disbelief, and unspeakable embarrassment.
"He won't." Xu Tingwan replied calmly.
Chen Tiantian's lips moved, "How...how is it possible..."
Chi Du got full marks in mathematics.
Xu Tingwan kicked him and raised an eyebrow and asked him, "Can you?"
Chi Du quickly shook his head.
"Little sister, why don't you ask me."
Chen Tiantian: “…”
"Add WeChat and I'll teach you? It's free."
“…”
*
On the way home, Chi Du felt like the air was throwing knives at him. On the way, he wanted to talk to Xu Tingwan but she refused and said that if he talked to her now, he would never be able to talk to her again in the future.
After getting off the elevator, Chi Du wanted to open the door, but Xu Tingwan stopped him and pressed him against the wall next to him. The sudden movement didn't give Chi Du time to recover, and he had another brainstorm the next second.
Xu Tingwan grabbed his collar and bit his chin on tiptoe. The numb and painful feeling made Chi Du let out a very light groan.
"I was asked to go for a run and you didn't even let me change my clothes! Who would go for a morning run in a down jacket? It's so embarrassing!"
Chi Du was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and hugged her, "My bad, I'll find you one of mine tomorrow. It might just be a little big."
Xu Tingwan pushed him away and said, "I don't want to go out with you. I met Chen Tiantian today, but I don't know who it will be tomorrow."
"I don't even know her..."
Chi Du said helplessly.
"Not your classmate?"
“I haven’t seen it at school, but I see it often when I’m running.”
"Nothing?"
Chi Du immediately raised his hand and said, "God knows, I really don't know her."
Xu Tingwan laughed out loud, "She's interested in you and deliberately runs into you there every day, but you don't say a word."
She smiled happily, but Chi Du was not so happy.
"What should I say?"
"If you don't like someone, you should reject them. Otherwise, how will they know?"
The tone is a bit resentful.
Chi Du lowered his head and took out his phone to give it to her. "Sister, I really don't know her. I told her not to follow me before. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."
"so good?"
"Good students are never afraid of being checked."
Xu Tingwan leaned against the wall holding her cell phone. Chi Du was very patient and watched her movements quietly.
Xu Tingwan actually didn't try to pry into other people's thoughts. Moreover, she trusted Chi Du, and checking the cell phone was a bit beyond her cognition. But when she thought of the young and beautiful girl just now, Xu Tingwan couldn't get rid of it for some reason.
Just one look. Just one look.
She clicked on his WeChat, and there were only two pinned messages, one for her and the other for Yu Nian. The rest were all red dots with no comments.
Xu Tingwan looked up and asked, "Why don't you order anything?"
"I don't use my phone much. If they have something to say, they will call me directly."
"Then how could you reply to my message immediately?" Xu Tingwan asked him with his head tilted.
"Set the ringtone."
Xu Tingwan's smile deepened. She stuffed the phone into Chi Du's hand and asked, "You really don't use your phone that often?"
Chi Du put the money back into his pocket and responded nonchalantly.
"What about your needs?"
This question made Chi Du's movements suddenly freeze. He raised his eyelids and looked at her with an imperceptible depth. He didn't say anything, and Xu Tingwan felt a little guilty. In two seconds, she was about to turn around and open the door, but Chi Du grabbed her wrist and said meaningfully, "You know."
Xu Tingwan's eyelids twitched. "Know what?"
"My needs." His tone was extremely relaxed.
“…”
"I thought my sister didn't understand. It's so hard for me to pretend."
Xu Tingwan: “?”
"I'm afraid it might be too much and scare you."
Xu Tingwan: “?”
Chi Du pressed his fingerprint to open the door, but didn't move. He pressed the door lock twice and took Xu Tingwan's hand over, "Which finger do you usually like to use, sister?"
Xu Tingwan silently extended his index finger.
A crisp "ding" sound brought Xu Tingwan back to his senses. "You recorded my fingerprints just like that, aren't you afraid that I'll just take all the money and run away?"
"For money? That's easier."
Xu Tingwan silently shut up. He was about to go off topic after just a few words.
As soon as Xu Tingwan entered the door, she smelled a fragrance. It was the fried dough sticks that Yu Nian had made. Seeing the two of them coming back, Yu Nian wiped his hands and brought them out, "Just right, just right. Wanwan, come and have dinner."
Chi Du changed his shoes and nonchalantly retorted, "Mom, your own son wants to eat too."
"Eat it, I'm not stopping you."
“…”
The bathroom was very narrow, with the sink at the door. There was one person standing there, and if another person wanted to come in, she had to turn sideways.
Chi Du stood at the door looking at her. Xu Tingwan thought he was going to come in so she leaned aside, but when she turned around, he was still standing there.
"Aren't you coming in?"
Chi Du chuckled, reached out and pinched her face, then stood beside her, "Why are you so likable?"
Xu Tingwan curled her eyes and said, "It can't be helped. It's just my natural charm."
“That’s really not modest at all.”
"Why should I be modest when I deserve the praise?"
“…”
