Chapter Thirty-Seven
A gentle kiss landed on her brow, as if she were a precious treasure, and Shi Qing was held tightly in his arms.
In the quiet room, they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
Shi Qing also raised her hand and hugged him.
It turns out that hugging someone you like feels so good.
Shi Qing had never been in a relationship before, and she had always been resistant to romance, but at this moment, she truly felt happy.
The two hugged quietly for a while, then Liang Yuheng let go of her: "You've been through a lot tonight, why don't you take the day off tomorrow?"
Shi Qing knew he was thinking of her, but it was already past eleven o'clock, and she was worried that canceling the class at the last minute would leave a bad impression on the students: "It's okay, don't bother inviting them now. I can get up a little later tomorrow, it won't affect anything."
"Alright then." Liang Yuheng didn't press her any further.
"I'm going to take a shower first?"
"Wait a minute." Liang Yuheng paused, then spoke somewhat awkwardly, "Do you want to sleep alone tonight or do you want me to stay with you? I asked because I was afraid you'd be scared and too embarrassed to say it. I was afraid you'd misunderstand, so I wanted to explain that I definitely didn't ask just to sleep with you."
Seeing his obvious attempt to cover up his embarrassment, Shi Qing burst out laughing.
Liang Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean? You don't believe me?"
"No." Shi Qing didn't expose him, a smile playing on her lips.
"Never mind, just pretend I didn't ask." Liang Yuheng sighed, then turned to go to the guest room where he had slept before. "I'll sleep by myself then. I like sleeping alone."
"I want you to stay with me." Shi Qing pulled him back, her clear eyes curving upwards.
"real?"
"Um."
Liang Yuheng: "Is it because you're scared, or do you want to sleep with me?"
Shi Qing replied earnestly, "Yes, I have both."
"This answer is barely acceptable," Liang Yuheng said with a forced smile. "Then go wash up now."
"good."
Shi Qing is increasingly finding Liang Yuheng to be childish.
Because she had just confessed her feelings, Shi Qing's mind was still foggy, so much so that she almost mistook toothpaste for face wash.
As the warm water washed over her skin, Shi Qing's tense nerves gradually relaxed. The events that had occurred in just one hour had left her brain overly excited.
Because Liang Yuheng said he would help her investigate the cigarette box incident, Shi Qing believed in his abilities. Although she still felt a little scared when she thought about it now, she felt much calmer with Liang Yuheng by her side.
But the thought of becoming a real couple with Liang Yuheng still makes Shi Qing's heart race; she still feels it's all very unreal.
She suddenly realized that she had gotten married in a very confused way.
However, Shi Qing wasn't someone who particularly cared about procedures, so this actually saved her a lot of trouble.
She's not a teenager anymore, and she doesn't deliberately pursue sweet romances. She just hopes to live a simple and happy life with Liang Yuheng.
When Shi Qing was removing her makeup and taking a shower, Liang Yuheng was afraid that she would be scared by herself, so he stayed in the bedroom with her the whole time and only went in to shower after she came out.
Shi Qing hasn't been staying here for the past few days. It seems Liang Yuheng has been sleeping in the guest room, leaving this room for her.
Last time, Shi Qing didn't bring Labubu back. Looking at the few little things on her bedside table, she felt inexplicably better.
Shi Qing pulled back the covers and lay down on the bed. She hadn't checked her phone since returning from Cheng Jun's place, but now she saw that Zhou Han had made several missed calls and sent many messages.
Zhou Han: [Qingbao, are you alright? I heard that bastard Song Hui has been harassing you?]
Zhou Han: [You stupid idiot, I'm going to settle the score with him when I get back! How dare he bully you while I was away!]
Zhou Han: [Song Shu is really shameless. She dared to let my cousin kiss her in front of you. She has no shame!]
...
Seeing that she was quite angry, Shi Qing quickly replied: "I was taking a shower just now. It's nothing serious. Your cousin taught him a lesson for me. Don't get so angry; it's bad for your health."
Soon, Zhou Han's video popped up.
Shi Qing: "Hey, Hanhan, why aren't you asleep yet? It must be very late where you are."
Zhou Han slapped the bed in anger: "I'm so angry I could die! That stupid idiot, I'm going home tomorrow to settle the score with him!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qing quickly stopped her: "Hanhan, don't be impulsive! It's not that serious. You stay there and have fun with Auntie."
"Hmph, this isn't over yet when I get back! My brother was furious when he heard about it, and he's definitely going to beat that dog Song Hui to death today!" Zhou Han said through gritted teeth, arms crossed.
Shi Qing was naturally touched to hear Zhou Han defend her, but knowing Zhou Han's personality, she knew she couldn't add fuel to the fire, so she didn't complain about Song Hui.
"By the way, Hanhan, how did you all know?"
"A friend told me about it, and it's spread throughout our circle!"
Shi Qing was puzzled; the world of the wealthy was quite gossipy.
"What's your relationship with that Song Shu like?" Shi Qing asked softly, seeing that Liang Yuheng hadn't finished washing up yet.
"She was alright before, but I never expected her to do something like this. She's shameless!" Zhou Han pouted.
"Do you know that she likes your cousin?" Although Liang Yuheng explained it to her today, Shi Qing was still very curious about their past.
"I know, she wants everyone to know. Last year she even tried to arrange a marriage between my cousin and her." Zhou Han comforted Shi Qing, afraid that she would be upset if she heard this. "But don't worry, my cousin doesn't like her, so don't be angry."
Shi Qing smiled and said, "No. It's too late today. Tell me about their past when you get back. You must be tired after playing all day, go to sleep early."
"Okay then." Zhou Han was about to hang up when she suddenly realized something. "Hey, Qingbao, it seems like you're not staying at your own place, are you? You've made up with my cousin again?"
"Yes, I agreed to give it a try with him today." Shi Qing said shyly, unable to resist telling her.
Zhou Han said happily, "Really! That's great! At least something makes me happy. Oh, it's not easy! Tsk, are you two going to have a passionate night tonight...?"
"Click!"
The bathroom door was opened.
Shi Qing subconsciously looked up, met his gaze, and immediately looked away.
"I won't talk to you now, you should go to sleep early!" Shi Qing hung up the phone first, afraid that Zhou Han would say something inappropriate again.
Shi Qing wasn't sure if Liang Yuheng had heard Zhou Han's last sentence. If he had, he probably thought they had been discussing this kind of topic.
She was too embarrassed to look at Liang Yuheng, so she pulled the blanket over herself and went to sleep.
"The lights are off?" Liang Yuheng walked to the bedside, sat down, and looked at her.
Shi Qing feigned nonchalance: "Turn it off."
Soon, the room was plunged into darkness.
Shi Qing felt the bed next to her sink slightly, and the blanket was pulled back.
Just when Shi Qing thought the matter was over, she heard a low laugh from beside her.
"Don't be so nervous, tonight we're not going to have a passionate encounter."
I heard it!
Shi Qing awkwardly covered her ears and turned over.
“You’re going to fall off the bed if you move any further to the side.” Liang Yuheng scooped him up. “Don’t worry, I won’t force you if you don’t want to.”
Shi Qing wasn't particularly opposed to the matter, but things had been too chaotic tonight, and she really wasn't in the mood.
Liang Yuheng smelled clean and fresh after his shower, which Shi Qing liked very much.
"Sleep well, goodnight." Liang Yuheng kissed her.
"good evening."
Shi Qing adjusted to a more comfortable position, nestled in his arms, and quickly fell asleep.
-
When Shi Qing woke up the next morning, she found that no one was by her bedside. She saw on her phone that it was just past seven o'clock.
After she came out of her room, she heard a noise coming from the kitchen, so she went over and was surprised to see Liang Yuheng making breakfast.
Liang Yuheng wore a dark blue pajama top with an apricot-colored apron over it, making him look very homey.
He rolled up his forearm, still looking tall and handsome holding the spatula, and Shi Qing was momentarily lost in thought.
She remembered what Liang Yuheng had said to her that night: he would cook for her from now on. A warm feeling welled up in Shi Qing's heart.
Seeing her approach, Liang Yuheng was putting the fried sausages and eggs onto a plate: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I slept very well last night, but I can't sleep now." Shi Qing looked at him, her beautiful eyebrows curving up.
"You've had enough sleep, have you washed up?" After putting the pot down, Liang Yuheng turned around and hugged her waist.
Shi Qing: Not yet, do you need my help?
"No need, this is fine." Liang Yuheng smiled faintly. "What would you like to drink? Milk or orange juice?"
"milk."
"Okay, go wash up."
"OK".
Then, Liang Yuheng took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, poured it into two cups, and then heated it in the microwave.
A few minutes later, Shi Qing was stunned when she arrived at the dining table. She hadn't seen Liang Yuheng make so much food. There were not only fried eggs, sausages, and salmon, but also sweet potatoes, corn, and beef porridge, and many of them were low-calorie foods.
"So many?!" Shi Qing opened her mouth.
Liang Yuheng raised his eyebrows with a smug look: "It's alright, I didn't have time to prepare, I'll make it properly for you next time."
Shi Qing waved her hand: "This is already a feast. There's not enough for the two of us to finish."
"It's okay, pick what you like to eat." Liang Yuheng picked up a fried egg and put it on her plate.
Shi Qing took a bite of the egg and was immediately amazed: "You're amazing! This is the best poached egg I've ever eaten!"
"Really?" Liang Yuheng thought she was exaggerating a bit, but he was still in a good mood after being praised.
Shi Qing wasn't lying; she hadn't realized Liang Yuheng was such a good cook before: "Really, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it's especially delicious."
"Is there a reward?" Liang Yuheng put one hand on her chair and looked at her with a slight smile.
Shi Qing took a bite with her chopsticks.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
"Wasn't that praise just now a form of emotional reward?"
Liang Yuheng slowly shook his head: "No, we need something more practical."
"Then what do you want?"
Give me a kiss.
"..."
So that's what they were waiting for.
Shi Qing offered what she considered a very convincing reason: "My lips are oily, so it's inconvenient for me to kiss."
Liang Yuheng suddenly leaned down and kissed her before Shi Qing could even close her eyes.
She never expected him to kiss her, and couldn't help but lean back, but Liang Yuheng grabbed her neck and pulled her back.
Because she had just eaten, Shi Qing didn't want to kiss him, so she kept her mouth tightly closed.
But Liang Yuheng seemed to be challenging her, forcefully prying open her lips and teeth, and then slowly tasting her tongue.
Shi Qing felt her scalp tingle from the kiss and gradually stopped resisting.
Only after Liang Yuheng was satisfied did he release the person in his arms, his eyes filled with a captivating smile: "It really is quite delicious."
