Chapter 47
Mysterious Night
The room was lit only by the water ripple lamps used to create an ambiguous atmosphere, and the addition of dynamic ambient lighting added an indescribable ambiguity to the night.
The wall reflected fleeting light and ripples.
Their shadows overlapped.
Xu whispered, "Tonight—"
The tone was deliberately drawn out, adding endless tenderness to the brief pauses.
"—Would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Thud—"
The yellow lamp, cast by the setting sun, was turned off, plunging the already dim room into even greater darkness, where emotions ran rampant and grew in the night.
Cool fingertips caressed Xu's lips, which had just finished speaking and hadn't yet closed, gently tracing the shape of his lips, bit by bit.
Jiang Fengyi gave her own answer.
Upon receiving a response, Xu smiled and asked unhurriedly, "Would you like dinner first, cake first, or...?"
She deliberately left her sentence unfinished, causing Jiang Fengyi's thoughts to wander uncontrollably.
Before the words were finished, Xu turned his head and accurately kissed the other's fingertips, the delicate kisses traveling from the fingertips all the way to the back of the hand.
Jiang Fengyi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she hurriedly pulled her hand away.
"Let's...let's eat the cake first."
Xu Que's handmade cake promptly brought Jiang Fengyi back to her senses, and she reminded her again.
"Let's go eat cake first!"
Xu chuckled softly, her gaze towards Jiang filled with tenderness that was almost overflowing with affection. As she had instructed, she carried the cake in one hand and put her arm around Jiang Fengyi's waist with the other, heading towards the restaurant.
But the hand around her waist was too disobedient; before she had taken more than a few steps, it started to cause trouble on Jiang Fengyi's body.
Hot fingertips roamed around her waist, crawling across her skin like ants, leaving a honey-like coating on the areas they touched, attracting a swarm of ants to gnaw at them repeatedly.
"itch......"
Jiang Fengyi complained softly, "It's so itchy..." but at the same time, she indulged Xu and let him continue.
The force of the push was so small as to be negligible, more like the desperate attempt to grab whatever was at hand when one was helpless.
It's unclear where it caught, but Xu let out a deep "hiss~".
He reached down and grabbed her hand, which was groping haphazardly across her chest.
Xu stopped in his tracks: "How about we just unwrap the cake right here?"
"Mmm...uh-huh..."
Jiang Fengyi gave a nonsensical reply.
Xu, half-embracing Jiang Fengyi, returned to the scene she had meticulously arranged.
The balloon swayed gently in mid-air, as if greeting the dizzy Jiang Fengyi. Before she could respond, she was pulled down to sit by the person next to her.
"You knew I prepared wine for you, so you got drunk beforehand?"
Xu opened the cake and found that Jiang Fengyi's handmade cake, made with her legs as a cushion, was perfectly preserved, with the animal-based buttercream frosting on the side, which was most prone to collapsing, still intact.
The four-inch cake was only slightly larger than Xu Que's palm. She held the small cake and let go of Jiang Fengyi with her other hand to grab the cake fork.
She sat next to the light source, the metal dessert fork gleaming with a cool luster under the light. Just as Xu picked it up, the glaring metallic glint swept across Jiang Fengyi's eyelids, and she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes.
One hand went down, the other up, and their arms bumped together.
Clang—
The dessert fork rolled a few times before falling to the floor, but Xu's gaze shifted from the ground to Jiang Fengyi's face.
"The fork fell, what should I do?"
Jiang Fengyi was puzzled: "Aren't there new ones on the coffee table?"
"Get another one?"
"Wouldn't that be too wasteful?"
"Then pick it up."
Xu then said, "But it's dirty."
Jiang Fengyi had never realized Xu Que was so difficult to please. She asked in return, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
These words were exactly what Xu wanted to hear.
She held the cake and approached Jiang Fengyi inch by inch, getting so close that he could clearly smell the rich aroma of cream with every breath.
Xu then brought the cake to Jiang Fengyi's lips.
"Try eating it like this."
Seeing that Jiang Fengyi did not make a move, she took the lead in demonstrating, biting off a piece of cream from the side, which melted sweetly in her mouth.
Her voice was seductive: "Would you like to give it a try?"
Jiang Fengyi was truly seduced by her. She imitated her posture from before, tilting her head back and leaning closer, her lips slightly parted, and took another small bite from the spot where a piece of cake was missing.
The silky, thick cream melts in your mouth, like biting into a fluffy cloud. Before you can even savor it, it vanishes without a trace, leaving only a rich sweetness and milky aroma lingering in your mouth.
Jiang Fengyi pursed her lips, the faint aftertaste continuing to linger in her mouth.
"It not only looks good, but it tastes delicious too."
"And it's not too sweet, so it's not cloying."
She sincerely praised, "You have a great talent for making cakes."
Xu watched as Jiang Fengyi's mouth opened and closed, and the snow-white cream that unintentionally clung to the corner of her lips rose and fell with it.
It was as if a small, willful white cloud had lingered on the lips, stubbornly staying there and refusing to return to the sky.
Xu couldn't help but chuckle and reach out to wipe away the bit of cream that Jiang Fengyi had left on her lips.
Seeing the trace of white on Xu Que's fingertips, Jiang Fengyi belatedly realized what had happened, her face flushing with embarrassment. She extended her tongue, tentatively brushing it across the corner of her mouth, erasing the remaining trace.
Little did Xu Que know that this scene was interpreted as provocation.
Before she could even wipe the cream off her hand with a tissue, Xu smeared it back onto Jiang Fengyi's lips.
No one expected Xu to do this. Jiang Fengyi's eyes widened, her shrewdness faded, and she revealed a rare childlike side as she stared at him with a puzzled expression.
Xu chuckled again.
"You're so cute~"
She lowered her head and cleaned the white smudge from Jiang Fengyi's lips before Jiang Fengyi could react.
Jiang Fengyi's rosy cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a ripe shrimp.
How could she do this!
Jiang Fengyi's amusing reaction aroused the other party's desire to tease her.
"Isn't it sweet?"
She heard Xu speak slowly.
"I actually think this cream is very sweet."
“But it suits my taste perfectly,” Xu said, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter. “I love this kind of sweetness… mmm…”
Jiang Fengyi covered her mouth and swallowed the words she was about to say.
Xu did not resist, but smiled and let Jiang Fengyi do as she pleased.
Before even putting down the small cake in his hand, he brought it back to Jiang Fengyi, causing the blush that had just faded from Jiang Fengyi's face to return.
"Want some more cake?"
As soon as Xu Que's voice rang out, Jiang Fengyi turned her head and tried to escape, but the other party anticipated her move and pinned her to the sofa.
"You just praised me for my talent for making cakes," the soft and sweet cream cake drew closer to her, "a delicious cake should be eaten in more bites."
What do you think?
......
The two shared and finished about half of the cake.
Jiang Fengyi leaned back on the corner of the sofa, her hair and lips tinged with the rich scent of cream. Xu leaned against her neck, leaving her with kiss after kiss that was even more tender and delicate than whipped cream.
Aren't you going to eat?
She asked while kissing him.
Jiang Fengyi turned her head to avoid her, and at the same time pushed Xu Que's head to the other side.
Her neck was damp, and all she wanted to do right now was to go to the bathroom and wash herself thoroughly.
Xu, however, held her tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Cake can get too rich after a while, shall we go to a restaurant?"
"I want to take a shower first."
Xu, however, thought of the restaurant's elaborate decor and continued to argue for herself: "Should I take a shower after I finish eating?"
"No, I'm covered in sweat."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a deep sniff of his nose against her neck.
"Only the fragrance of flowers, no smell of sweat."
As if to verify his words, Xu took two more deep sniffs, much like a pet dog confirming its owner's scent.
Jiang Fengyi pushed her head away: "Stop smelling it."
Xu stood close to her and said, "Then I'll shower with you too!"
Afraid of being rejected by Jiang Fengyi, she carried her into the bathroom before Jiang Fengyi could speak.
Once the door is closed,
The overhead shower spray created a misty white vapor that enveloped the two people in the small bathroom space.
The naked figure was faintly visible in the mist, indistinct and hazy.
The water was too hot, and the fine spray of water hit Jiang Fengyi's body, quickly turning her pale skin bright red.
Seeing this, Xu hurriedly lowered the water temperature. However, his movements were too large, and since the boundary between hot and cold water was already close, the water sprayed from above his head instantly turned into cold water with no temperature.
Jiang Fengyi, who was below, shivered from the cold and avoided the overhead spray, instinctively moving closer to the heat source, which was Xu Que.
Xu held his wife in his arms, while adjusting the water temperature with his other hand.
"How's the temperature?"
She tested it herself first before holding Jiang Fengyi's hand to feel the water temperature.
"Yeah, pretty much."
Jiang Fengyi stood back under the showerhead and realized that she had unknowingly entered the bathroom with Xu Que.
She lifted her eyelids and glanced at the other person, who was also naked.
Xu Que's shared bathing was definitely not just about sharing bathing.
As expected,
Just as Jiang Fengyi had the thought, Xu walked towards her.
Pretend to squeeze out a few pumps of shower gel, then rub/lather it in your palms to create a rich lather.
"Shall I help you?"
"You don't need to do this..."
Before he could even utter the word "help," Xu's hand had already covered it.
She originally intended to be a dutiful bath attendant, but upon seeing Jiang Fengyi, her hands seemed to have a mind of their own, ignoring her commands and lingering on that perfect body.
Jiang Fengyi's body was red from the warm water spraying from the showerhead, while the redness on her face was entirely due to Xu Que's presence.
If only I had known...
If she had known it would be like this to take a bath, she would have preferred to go to the restaurant first.
The nozzles at the top were still dripping water, and Jiang Fengyi put her hand on Xu Que's shoulder, giving him most of her weight.
Whenever she felt weak, she would lean her whole body against Xu Que.
Xu reached out and adjusted the shower mode, turning the fine water stream into a mist mode with even finer water droplets. The weightless mist gently drifted onto Jiang Fengyi's back.
Once Jiang Fengyi had recovered, Xu, having found a new toy, changed mode again. The fine mist suddenly condensed into a powerful water column.
Like a sudden thunderstorm in summer, the rain poured down relentlessly, and Jiang Fengyi, who had just regained her composure, was hit on the back by every powerful drop of water.
Xu quickly switched back to the initial mode, and the continuous water droplets turned back into gentle drizzle, softly caressing Jiang Fengyi's body.
In the cramped bathroom, a humid, white mist enveloped the small space.
Jiang Fengyi's lips were slightly parted, and she kept inhaling the damp air from her mouth and nose, which continuously replenished her moisture.
The shower above my head was still running, and the fresh fluids my body had just secreted were being washed away by the continuous flow of water.
Jiang Fengyi gasped for breath, using the last of her strength to exhale.
"No... I'm not washing anymore."
"Okay~" Xu, who was satisfied, was surprisingly easy to talk to. "I'll listen to you~"
A shower that took many times longer than usual is finally over.
Xu grabbed a bath towel and hugged Jiang Fengyi, whose bones were almost softened by the hot water, to dry her body, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Shall we go to a restaurant for dinner?"
Jiang Fengyi gave a weak "hmm".
