Chapter 79 No way, the bed collapsed?!
Qu He watched as Zhuang Bieyan carried one item in each hand, her gaze shifting between the clothes and the screen, before she drawled, "This... did you buy this?"
"This...this...this isn't mine!"
Qu He was completely enraged, wishing she could disappear into the phone screen to explain, shaking her head so hard it was practically flying out of her skin. "It's really not! I didn't buy it!"
Zhuang Bieyan gave a puzzled "Oh?"
He picked up the package next to him and tapped the recipient information twice: "But the number and name on this are yours... wife."
Wife?
The two words seemed to be electrified, passing through the screen and penetrating Qu Hexin's heart.
Her already flushed face turned even redder, and she almost dropped her phone, pacing anxiously back and forth in the room.
"It was Si Yue! It was Si Yue who bought it! I swear!"
She raised three fingers, her eyes urgent and sincere, as if she wanted to tear her heart out to prove her innocence.
Zhuang Bieyan looked at her like this, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
I haven't received any messages from her for the past three days, nor have I seen those soft, cute bunny emojis. I feel empty inside, like something is missing.
That's how people are; once they've tasted the sweetness, going back to square one becomes incredibly difficult.
So when he saw her message, he pretended to have "accidentally" wet his pajamas and changed into a bathrobe.
But unexpectedly, there was such a pleasant surprise.
He deliberately moved the two pieces of clothing closer to the camera, feigning ignorance: "Si Yue? Why would she think of buying this for you?"
"she....!"
Qu He Yu Sao
Does she have to say that Si Yue came up with this terrible idea for her because she was "pursuing" him?
That would be worse than just making her disappear on the spot! She might as well be dead!
"You...you don't need to worry about it! Anyway, I didn't buy it!" she started to act like a spoiled child.
Zhuang Bieyan didn't press further, but looking at the almost weightless piece of fabric in his hand, he could no longer suppress the smile on his lips.
Qu He felt a pang in her heart when she saw his smile.
She blurted out, "Stop looking! Put it away! Don't worry, I... I didn't plan to wear it for you!"
Zhuang Bieyan's eyes narrowed, and his words carried a dangerous glint: "Hmm? You're not planning to wear it for me? Then who do you want to wear it for?"
"That's not what I meant! I didn't intend to wear it for anyone else to see!"
Zhuang Bieyan wasn't about to let her off the hook. He hooked his fingers around her clothes and looked at her. "Really... I never thought you'd wear this for me?"
"Of course not! Absolutely not!"
"Why? I feel...it suits you perfectly."
His eyes were like hooks. He paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. After all, if Ahe wears it, the only person who can appreciate it is me."
Qu He was so anxious she almost jumped up, "Who...who wants you to admire this? I won't wear it for anyone! Put it away right now!"
Seeing that she was really anxious, Zhuang Bieyan couldn't bear to tease her anymore. He folded the clothes and put them in the box, but the smile in his eyes hadn't completely disappeared.
Qu He breathed a sigh of relief, cursing Si Yue a hundred times in her heart. She pretended to be calm and looked at Zhuang Bieyan, trying to convince herself that she was just dreaming.
Zhuang Bieyan picked up his phone and brought it closer to his face; under the light, the contours of his eyebrows and eyes were clearly defined.
"Coming back tomorrow?"
"Um."
"I've come to pick you up."
"Oh... okay."
Neither of them spoke for a moment, but the instant their eyes met, the air seemed to thicken, carrying an unspoken anticipation and restlessness that made their mouths dry.
"Ahe," he suddenly called her softly.
"Um?"
“It’s nothing,” he smiled, “I just wanted to call you.”
It was just a simple sentence, without any explicit meaning, but Qu He felt the temperature on her face rise again after it had just cooled down.
"I...I want to sleep!"
"Okay, go to sleep."
After saying goodnight, Qu He took her phone and lay down on the bed, but the video call continued, and neither of them hung up.
The lights went out.
The phone screen's brightness flickered.
In the quiet night, my breathing was clear.
After an unknown amount of time, a few suppressed whispers, tinged with a grating hoarseness, came through the receiver.
“Ahe…Ahe…”
"Hmm...wife...."
......
The next morning.
Qu He woke up groggily and tried to reach for her phone to check the time, but the screen was black.
It shut down automatically when the battery was low.
Plug in the charger, and when she came back from washing up, the phone had already turned on automatically.
She opened WeChat and her eyes widened when she saw the small print at the bottom of her chat history with Zhuang Bieyan.
The video call lasted eight hours! ! ? ?
No wonder my phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically.
She clearly remembered that she said she was going to sleep last night, but no one could bear to hang up first.
later.....
I could still hear the faint echoes of his suppressed groans.
Qu He covered her face, her cheeks turning red again, much to her dismay.
The plane flew across the northern city skyline and landed at 8 p.m.
Qu He followed the crowd out of the arrival gate and almost immediately spotted Zhuang Bieyan standing not far away, looking down at his phone.
He was dressed in a simple casual shirt and trousers, and his upright posture made him stand out in the crowd.
Almost simultaneously, her phone vibrated; his call came in.
She answered the call, and before he could speak, she softly said, "Turn around."
Amidst the bustling crowd, their eyes met through the throng.
The moment their eyes met, Qu Hexin skipped a beat. Although they had only been apart for three days, it felt like an eternity.
Zhuang Bieyan walked hurriedly toward her, the surrounding crowd becoming a blurred background.
Neither of them hung up the phone.
Qu He watched as he walked through the crowd and stepped towards her.
He stopped in front of her and bent down slightly.
His cheerful voice came through the phone, overlapping with the breath in my ear, "I found you."
Just those four simple words made Qu He's heart race uncontrollably.
She felt as if a little dove was living in her chest, about to flap its wings and fly away.
On the way back, Zhuang Bieyan drove a little faster than usual.
The car was quiet, the air conditioning was blowing, and Qu He could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
An ambiguous atmosphere flowed silently inside the car.
Both of them tacitly understood that tonight was destined to be different.
When the Maybach arrived at Baiyu Bay, Zhuang Bieyan held her hand the whole time as they took the elevator upstairs.
As soon as she entered the house, before she could even turn on the lights, he pressed her against the back of the door and showered her with kisses, urgent and burning.
Zhuang Bieyan grabbed her waist and lifted her up, bringing her closer to him.
Qu He obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, responding awkwardly but enthusiastically.
When she came to her senses, she realized that he had lifted her up and her legs were instinctively wrapped around his waist.
"Ah He... Ah He... Wife..."
He called her name softly over and over again, his voice hoarse.
Their lips parted briefly as he looked down at her forehead.
In the darkness, his amber eyes shone with an astonishing light, surging with an undisguised desire that made one unable to resist falling for him.
Qu He cupped his face in her hands, her breath slightly unsteady: "I... want to take a shower first."
"good."
He carried her to the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
The sound of pattering water, mixed with a few barely suppressed sobs, could be heard.
The misty steam blurred the mirror's surface, and two overlapping handprints appeared out of nowhere, water droplets slowly sliding down...
The two emerged, their bodies damp with moisture, and Qu He gently placed the quilt on the bed.
As soon as she lay down, she heard a strange creaking sound from beneath her, and the mattress seemed to shake.
Before he could think it through, Zhuang Bieyan leaned down.
“Ahe, look at me.”
Qu He looked up and met the depths of his smiling eyes.
His kiss landed, carrying a long-suppressed restraint, leading her step by step into the deep sea of infatuation.
The lights went out.
Just then, the creaking sound beneath them became even clearer.
"Creak... Boom! BOOM!"
A cracking sound rang out.
The world spun around in an instant.
The bed collapsed!!
Qu He: “?!?”
Zhuang Bieyan: "..."
