After the rain, the sky clears up
The next morning, before the alarm clock rang, Zhou Jianxing woke up early driven by his biological clock and nervousness.
She stiffly and carefully moved Wen Lingyi's arm from her chest, and quickly turned off the alarm on her mobile phone, fearing that any sound would disturb Wen Lingyi's sleep.
I didn’t go home last night and informed my parents.
However, Zhou Shufen's worried inquiries were still on WeChat.
The Years Are Quiet and Good: "Xingxing, how did you sleep last night? The thunder was so loud, you must not have slept well, right?"
The Years Are Quiet and Good: "Are you up yet? If you are, send a message to Mom."
Zhou Jianxing blushed.
Last night she only vaguely said that because of the severe thunderstorm, she had to sleep at her female employer's house for one night, but who knew that in the end she would actually sleep with her female employer for one night.
Everything that happened last night was as crazy as a bizarre dream.
If Wen Lingyi's warm body was not still lying beside her, breathing evenly, she would almost think that it was the manifestation of a shameful and chaotic dream that she had suppressed for too long.
After all, Wen Lingyi had appeared in her unspeakable dreams more than once in various seductive poses.
Her fingertips slid across the cold screen, and the WeChat message sent by her mother divided the boundary between dreams and reality, and she returned to the real world that she had to face.
She finally crossed the insurmountable line.
Zhou Jianxing felt a calm madness and a sharp numbness in his heart.
Come on, judge her.
If someone sets her on fire, she will consciously pour fuel on herself.
If she were to be caught and thrown into a pond, she would tie stones to herself.
She has committed crimes knowingly and refusing to change. She is beyond redemption.
She had to admit that those heretical theories of "sealing the heart and locking up love" had become the only support for her shaky heart at this moment.
The self-deception that she instinctively resisted now strangely turned into a painkiller, allowing her to face everything that happened after waking up without collapsing.
After all, Mrs. Wen said that her husband would also cheat and find other women.
Does destroying a marriage that is already non-existent count as destruction?
It's like a ruin that's already in ruins, how can you make it collapse even more?
Doesn't it seem like she's not so evil after all?
Zhou Jianxing subconsciously comforted and consoled himself.
This is how people decay. In a cycle of resistance, acceptance, and self-rationalization, they degenerate step by step, their moral bottom line rapidly decreasing, until they hit rock bottom and are shattered to pieces.
It depends on whether she degenerates faster or her moral bottom line drops faster.
Let us continue to fall into depravity until the judgment comes.
·
Zhou Jianxing pretended to be calm and replied to his mother's message before getting up from the bed to take a shower and go out to work.
Today is a working day, life has to go on, and she still has to go to work.
As she stood up, she felt a distinct, unfamiliar pain in her lower body, which made her gasp.
I don’t know whether this is normal or not. This detail didn’t seem to be mentioned in the enlightenment teaching materials that “Sealing the Heart and Locking Love” sent to her.
And she was not fully prepared for what happened last night.
Everything happened too suddenly and too naturally, as if it had been planned for a long time.
Zhou Jianxing endured the discomfort, tiptoed out of bed, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet, and bent down to pick up the champagne-colored silk nightgown that was scattered on the ground.
Just as she put on her nightgown and tried to tie the straps——
"Why are you awake so early?" Wen Lingyi's lazy voice came from behind, with a hint of hoarseness from just waking up.
Zhou Jianxing's body stiffened and he didn't dare to look back. He knew without looking that Wen Lingyi must be... naked at this moment.
The images of last night rushed into her mind uncontrollably, making her toes curl up in shame.
"I, I have to go to work at the company." Zhou Jianxing stopped and closed his eyes in despair.
I don’t know how to face Wen Lingyi and the established facts between the two of them.
In the fully awake morning light, the shame and moral shackles that had been briefly numbed by lust last night surged back like a tide, almost shattering her in the ruins of her collapsed self.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wen...Mrs. Wen, did I disturb you?" She still kept her back to Wen Lingyi.
Besides Wen Lingyi, what she dared not face was her own desires.
There was a rustling sound behind me.
Mrs. Wen. Zhou Jianxing didn't want to continue calling Wen Lingyi Mrs. Wen, but she was not allowed to, so she could only call her the same as before, a married lady.
And every time he called out, after they had actual sex, it would make her feel more uncomfortable.
·
Last night, when her passion was at its peak, she blushed and stammered, "Ling Yi."
As a result, Wen Lingyi, who was covering her, froze and her tone quickly turned cold: "Who told you to call me Lingyi? Call me Mrs. Wen!"
As she spoke, her hand left Zhou Jianxing's body.
At that moment, Zhou Jianxing felt not only the sudden emptiness of her body, but also her heart.
Although they were so close, she seemed to be rejected by Wen Lingyi.
Of course, that door refers to Wen Lingyi's heart door.
And just in the last second, Wen Lingyi was still calling Zhou Jianxing "baby" in her voice that was so gentle that it could drown her. It was so beautiful that she wanted to record it and use it as her wake-up ringtone. It was so beautiful that she forgot who she was and only remembered that she was Wen Lingyi's "baby".
The identity gap created by the title was deepened again by Wen Lingyi's own hands at the peak of physical contact, and it was freezing cold, but Zhou Jianxing didn't even dare to ask why.
Although Wen Lingyi seemed to have regained her gentleness and consideration later, that sentence was like a thorn that pierced the softest part of Zhou Jianxing's heart, causing her to always feel a hint of sober pain during her subsequent decline.
But she didn't stop because Wen Lingyi wanted her.
And she had no idea since when she started to be unable to refuse any request from Wen Lingyi.
No matter what Wen Lingyi wants, Zhou Jianxing will give it to her now.
·
"It didn't disturb me." Wen Lingyi's voice interrupted Zhou Jianxing's memories.
Zhou Jianxing's body was suddenly gently embraced by a pair of dry arms from behind, and the hot and humid breath sprayed on her sensitive earlobes.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Wen Lingyi said, and a kiss naturally fell on the small red mole behind her ear, and even extended the tip of her tongue to scratch it.
Although she didn't see Zhou Jianxing's expression just now, his stiff back and slightly trembling shoulders seemed to reflect the body's owner's inner uneasiness and some more complicated emotions.
Zhou Jianxing's body softened after being licked, and the wet and sticky touch behind her ears made her mind go blank. She could only lean back in Wen Lingyi's arms, breathing slightly.
"No... I didn't think anything." Zhou Jianxing clenched his cell phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. He wanted to break free from the embrace, but he didn't dare.
She couldn't just lift up her skirt and pretend nothing had happened, could she?
After all, last night, she condoned, tolerated, and even... indulged in it.
This realization made her even more embarrassed.
"Don't lie to me." Wen Lingyi felt inexplicably unhappy with Zhou Jianxing's concealment. She hated the feeling of being kept in the dark.
Logically speaking, given their relationship, she shouldn't have felt this way, but she did.
"Zhou Jianxing, I don't like people lying to me." Wen Lingyi's tone became serious and he loosened his arms.
However, the next second, Zhou Jianxing turned around and hugged her, burying his face deeply in her neck, and the humming sound in her ear seemed to be blown into her ears, small and light.
"I'm sorry," there was a slight pause, followed by a stuttering narration, "I, I won't lie to you again. I really like you."
She swallowed the last three words "Mrs. Wen" into her stomach.
Since you can't call her by her name, just call her "you".
·
Why do I have toothache when I wake up this early in the morning?
Wen Lingyi lost her temper all of a sudden, and for a moment she almost didn't know who she was.
Her toothache was so severe that she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. It seemed that sweets were indeed harmful to human health.
Wen Lingyi struggled with herself for several seconds, but finally reached out and hugged Zhou Jianxing's waist. This was a reward for a good child.
The main thing was, if she hugged her, she would appear too easy to please. But if she didn't, she was afraid Zhou Jianxing would be sad, and if she was sad, she would start to have wild thoughts, and if she had wild thoughts, she would start to cry again.
Women are made of water, and Zhou Jianxing's faucet is his eyes.
No, sister.
Wen Lingyi felt a little unlucky.
When she first met Zhou Jianxing, she thought he was a happy little dog, but he kept dropping golden beans in front of her, which made her always at a loss, as if he was some evil villain.
She's not that bad, is she? Wen Lingyi engaged in a rare moment of self-reflection.
How come it's like raising an emotionally sensitive child? She's now experiencing motherhood without any pain.
But apart from this, Wen Lingyi liked everything else about Zhou Jianxing.
No, she also likes to cry at certain moments.
Wen Lingyi clearly recalled the moment when she first saw Zhou Jianxing, and the ulterior motive that suddenly popped up in her mind - she wanted to make Zhou Jianxing cry.
And she did.
It’s hard to say how much the reason for her crying has to do with what she “did”.
It was dark, raining, and people's hearts were still moved. Wen Lingyi didn't even have time to appreciate the other person's expression last night. She only kissed the tear marks on the other person's face after it was over.
Besides the sense of accomplishment, that familiar irritating feeling as if being pricked by a needle appeared again.
Her long-dormant, tiny moral sense actually jumped out and hit her.
Wen Lingyi, are you still a human being?
She shook her head. What's too much? She's a fairy, don't meddle in fairy affairs.
It's not entirely her fault. Zhou Jianxing's big eyes, which were curved and filled with sunshine when she smiled, were so sweet that she had to get a few injections of insulin.
She couldn't help but want to see those eyes blurred in the extreme emotion, the eye sockets and nose tip stained with a pitiful crimson, tears welling up...
Especially when it was on her bed and she had done it to him with her own hands.
That's really... too delicious.
As for the other times? She didn't want to see Zhou Jianxing's unnecessary tears.
·
She hugged Zhou Jianxing quietly, and his furry chestnut curly hair rubbed against Wen Lingyi's face, bringing a slight itch.
Zhou Jianxing's breathing, body temperature, heartbeat, and even the strength of her hug can make people feel her love.
Childish, possessive, crying and making a fuss if not given, I like it.
"Say it again." Wen Lingyi needed to confirm it again through words.
The sugar content is too high, she needs to consume more to make sure it is not an hallucination or that she is "dizzy".
"Ah?" Zhou Jianxing was a little confused.
She lay on Wen Lingyi's shoulder, feeling so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
I was so scared and exhausted last night that my brain is working slower than usual and I can't react for a while.
"What do you mean again?"
"'I won't lie to you again,' the last part."
Zhou Jianxing had told her this last time in the bathroom, but she still wanted to hear it, especially on this sober morning.
Zhou Jianxing blushed, lowered his head, and unconsciously tightened his arms around Wen Lingyi's waist: "I like you."
The restless hair was also dancing along with these words.
"No," Wen Lingyi was a little dissatisfied and pinched Zhou Jianxing's waist, "You missed a few words." She remembered it clearly.
"I really like you." Zhou Jianxing's ears also began to turn red, and his voice was like melted orange-flavored fruit candy, which seemed even sweeter because of the sourness.
And the one who tasted this candy was Wen Lingyi's heart.
"I really like you." The melted candy was picked up and pulled out into long, thin threads. "I really like you."
Zhou Jianxing said persistently: "I really like you."
She had said every word of love to Wen Lingyi countless times in her dreams and in her heart, but it was only until now that she finally had the chance to be heard by Wen Lingyi, so she had to say it a few more times.
"Okay, that's enough." Wen Lingyi finally interrupted.
Unable to continue listening, she was worried that she would fall into a coma due to the sudden rise in blood sugar.
This is what it feels like to be treated with care.
Wen Lingyi loosened her arms, and then Zhou Jianxing reluctantly let her go.
"I have to go to work." Zhou Jianxing glanced at the time, then looked at Wen Lingyi with a hint of cautious flattery in his eyes, "But it seems there's still time now. What do you want for breakfast? I'll make it for you."
"Huh? I didn't realize this little idiot was so homely." Wen Lingyi raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry about me. The kitchen here is just for decoration. There's nothing in the refrigerator except alcohol and drinks."
But next time, Wen Lingyi can buy some vegetables and keep them in the refrigerator.
"I'll just order takeout. What about you? What are you going to eat in the morning?" The little fool had been tormented by her all night and really needed to replenish his energy.
"There's a breakfast stall near our company." Wen Lingyi was concerned about her, and Zhou Jianxing smiled foolishly.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Since Zhou Jianxing doesn’t have to make breakfast for Wen Lingyi, he can go home and change his clothes.
Although they are used to being rough in their line of work, it is still a bit embarrassing to go to work in wrinkled clothes that were soaked and dried last night.
"Wait." Wen Lingyi pulled her back and made her sit down in front of the dressing table. "Take a look for yourself."
Zhou Jianxing looked at the mirror in confusion, his cheeks flushed red.
In the mirror, her neck was covered with red marks of varying depths and shades, which were extremely ambiguous. Although her skin was not fair, they were still obvious enough.
Wen Lingyi was also troubled in front of the mirror because her skin color was too different from Zhou Jianxing's.
In the end, she could only creatively mix contouring powder and liquid concealer together, then dip her fingers into the mixed color and carefully apply it little by little on the marks that belonged to her.
The color is just right. It seems that she hasn't been in the art circle for so many years in vain.
After a long time of procrastination, it was finally time to go out. Wen Lingyi even used an electric iron to help her iron out the wrinkled clothes she wore last night, which saved Zhou Jianxing the trouble of going home.
"I'm leaving." Before leaving the villa, Zhou Jianxing turned around and said hello to Wen Lingyi.
The other person still looked lazy, leaning against the door frame with a gentle smile.
Wen Lingyi nodded slightly at her and pointed at her neck: "Don't touch the water."
Zhou Jianxing could only cover his neck with his hands in embarrassment, nodded vigorously, and finally walked towards the entrance of the community.
After the heavy rain, the air is fresh and the weather outside is sunny and windy. It looks like today will be another sunny day.
