Chapter 75
The air around him was filled with the pleasant scent of Xie Changshi, his soft lips were bitten, and Rong Jing was wantonly attacked. In a trance, the light above his head became blurry. He tried to open his eyes, but the panting in his ears made his heart shrink, and his consciousness, which had finally become clear, was gradually pulled back into the deep sea of desire.
The moon outside the window was hidden in the dark clouds again, and darkness and silence enveloped the entire world.
Only inside the room, the light was bright, and low humming and gasping could be heard.
Rong Jing didn't know how much time had passed; he only knew he felt languid, like he'd been soaking in the bathtub for an hour. Lying in bed, he quietly lifted the covers to cover his flushed face, but his ears were sharp enough to hear the patter of water from the bathroom next door. He couldn't help but touch his lips.
Even without looking in the mirror, he could feel the redness and swelling of his lips.
There is also a slight stinging pain.
It must have been bitten by Xie Changshi.
He took a sip and let out a soft hiss.
Not long after, fingers carrying a slightly cold breath lifted the quilt from his head. Even after taking a cold shower, the man's voice, full of desire, fell into Rong Jing's ears with a low hoarse voice: "Isn't it boring to sleep like this?"
"It's not stuffy." Rong Jing grabbed the quilt tightly, and his voice also sounded a little hoarse.
His face was as red as if he had put on rouge. He didn't want to show it to Xie Changshi, because Xie Changshi would definitely laugh at him. But...why didn't Xie Changshi blush? No, it seemed that he didn't even have time to observe Xie Changshi's face.
"Are you shy?" Xie Changshi didn't insist on pulling Rong Jing's quilt off. He just found it funny to see the young man's slender fingers pulling at the quilt so hard that they turned a little white. He wanted to tease him and gently poked Rong Jing's waist through the quilt. Seeing Rong Jing shrink to the side like a caterpillar, Xie Changshi's smile deepened and said, "If Ah Jing refuses to let go, I'll have to sleep with my clothes on tonight. The weather in Cangyun is not as good as Yancheng. What if I catch a cold..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Rong Jing's face still hidden in the quilt, but the hand that was tightly holding the quilt was pulled towards him, making room.
The meaning is obvious.
Come in quickly.
Xie Changshi was touched by his reaction and behavior, his smile lingering for a long time. He didn't say anything more, but took the quilt and crawled in. In an instant, the quilt, which originally only had Rong Jing's scent, was gradually invaded by Xie Changshi's scent. This familiar feeling instantly brought Rong Jing back to the moment of kissing.
The feeling of dizziness and heat rising up in my body came back again.
This time, Rong Jing didn’t think the quilt was a good thing.
After all, he began to feel inexplicably short of breath and he desperately needed fresh air.
Like a cat exploring an alley, he quietly lifted the quilt from his head, revealing his entire face and breathing hard. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the light above his head and the man's superior face and deep eyes with a smile under the light.
Rong Jing: “…”
This is embarrassing.
Moreover, Xie Changshi didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go. He raised his eyebrows slightly, put his fingertips on the boy's hot and soft face, and said with a smile: "It's so hot, Ah Jing, are you so shy?"
"I'm not shy." Rong Jing said stubbornly, "I'm just bored."
"Is that so? Then you're not feeling suffocated now, so why is your face still so red and hot?"
“…”
Good question.
I can't answer that.
Rong Jing couldn't help but kick his calf and warned him fiercely: "Don't make me angry, otherwise the boyfriend trial period will only be one day. If you tell others, you will be laughed to death by the Wannian Lao Er and others."
When Xie Changshi heard the words "boyfriend trial period is only one day", his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
This is absolutely intolerable.
But the following sentence -
He scoffed, "Lu Yunji has been single longer than I have. How can he have the nerve to laugh at me?"
Rong Jing suddenly became interested: "So he's never had a boyfriend? I remember there was a very good-looking boy in your school who was pursuing him."
Rong Jing still remembered that boy, because twice when Lu Yunji followed Xie Changshi home to play with him, that boy was there too. He gave him candy and secretly asked him, "Lu Yunji, do you like Xie Changshi?"
Rong Jing's expression was as devastated as the sky falling and the earth collapsing.
Although he was young, he had already lived with Xie Changshi for a while, and he knew what these high school students meant by "like".
But looking at how Xie Changshi and Lu Yunji usually get along, he really doesn't understand how the boy came to this conclusion.
Lu Yunji, who happened to have heard everything clearly, turned around and asked the boy with a twitch of his mouth: "Is there something wrong with your eyes or is there something wrong with my brain?"
The boy's face turned red when he heard this.
"That was a long time ago." Xie Changshi lowered his eyes. "But he really hasn't been in a relationship. When he was in college, he was busy with classes and traveling. After he started working, he had even less time. And I think he quite enjoys the life of a single dog."
Rong Jing agreed with the previous words, but he had some thoughts about the last sentence. He said, "Maybe Lu Yunji sees you the same way. Or..."
His eyes suddenly became suspicious: "You were secretly in love while I was sleeping in the coffin!"
Xie Changshi: “…”
He casually pulled the quilt aside and looked at him: "I'm secretly in love? Who am I dating?"
Rong Jing keenly sensed a sense of unease. He subconsciously wanted to roll up the quilt and wrap himself up in a ball to seek a sense of security, but seeing that the quilt had been pulled aside by Xie Changshi, he couldn't even reach it. He could only whisper, "How would I know? I'm not by your side."
Xie Changshi: "You slander me when you are not by my side, Rong Jing, I am very sad."
Rong Jing: "Don't act pitiful."
Xie Changshi: “…”
Rong Jing: "If you really have a secret relationship, I will turn you into a pig."
Xie Changshi: “…I didn’t talk about it.”
Rong Jing: "So you didn't turn into a pig."
Xie Changshi: “…”
I don't know why, but I have the illusion that I'm being controlled by Rong Jing.
...It must be an illusion.
The two chattered for a long time. Xie Changshi and Rong Jing were not sleepy at all. So Xie Changshi hugged Rong Jing, and Rong Jing lay in Xie Changshi's arms. They found a movie and watched it for two hours.
The more I watch, the more excited I get.
Rong Jing took out her phone and was about to post a message on WeChat Moments to express her sadness about her insomnia on the first day of her relationship, but she saw that Xie Changshi had already posted the latest update on WeChat Moments a few hours ago.
It's a photo.
The background of the photo is obviously an amusement park.
Rong Jing was lying on the railing, with only half of his face exposed, and behind him in the sky, fireworks were blooming and lights were dazzling.
Below the photo is the complaint of the eternal second child they just mentioned: Stop posting, look at the child, the child is working like a slave in the company alone.
Rong Jing couldn't help but let out a smile.
Then I saw Xie Changshi’s reply: I gave you a vacation but you didn’t take it.
Lu Yunji: But I don’t have a partner.
Lu Yunji: Oh, I forgot, you are not a partner, haha, you are still a single dog.
Xie Changshi: Only you, not me.
Lu Yunji: ???
After three large question marks, Xie Changshi didn't reply. But based on Rong Jing's understanding of Wannian Lao Er, he definitely went to talk to Xie Changshi privately. Curious, Rong Jing immediately approached Xie Changshi, pointed at the content, and asked, "And then, did Wannian Lao Er say anything?"
Xie Changshi glanced at the updates and picked up his phone. Sure enough, there was a red dot on the WeChat page, and the number of messages displayed below was: 32.
And these 32 new messages were all sent by Lu Yunji.
Rong Jing looked over and saw that the chat page was full of Lu Yunji's roar:
[Done?]
[You two really got together?]
[Damn it, you really took me home, Xie Changshi!]
When will you treat me to a meal?
[So am I considered my mother's family or my husband's family?]
Why don't you answer me?
[Can you tell me more about how you two got together?]
[Thanks, Changshi, for the reply!!]
Rong Jing: "...as expected, you can't mess with single people casually."
At this moment, Lu Yunji, who had been silent for more than half an hour, sent another message: "No, I can't sleep. The moment I close my eyes, I see the image of you two standing in front of me, hand in hand, inviting me to your wedding."
Rong Jing: “…”
Is it too early for Lu Yunji to think about this?
He and Xie Changshi had just confirmed their relationship, so why was it already time to invite others to the wedding?
But when Lu Yunji mentioned this, Rong Jing's mind instantly imagined the relevant scene. His expression was slightly embarrassed, and he pretended to be calm as he returned the phone to Xie Changshi, reminding him, "It's a message from the eternal second-in-command."
Xie Changshi glanced at it and finally replied: "Can't sleep? Then think more about what the best man needs to do at the wedding and prepare in advance."
Lu Yunji: "..."
Rong Jing: “…”
He couldn't help but say, "You're going to piss off the perennial runner-up to death."
Xie Changshi said, "Why should I be angry about this? It's just the truth."
Rong Jing stared at him with wide eyes: "How can it be a fact? I didn't even know about the wedding we had agreed on. You confirmed it with him first."
Xie Changshi suppressed a smile and asked, "Then let's confirm it now? Master Rong, can you calculate an auspicious date for us to get married? I'm leaning towards this year, the sooner the better."
Master Rong took out a transformation talisman and gritted his teeth: "Be careful what you say."
The pig threat is ready at any time!
Xie Changshi knew when to stop and signaled that he had shut up, which cooled down Rong Jing's face which had been heating up again.
Rong Jing finally pulled the quilt again, closed his eyes, and urged Xie Changshi: "Turn off the lights, Master is going to sleep."
"As you command, Master."
The lights suddenly went out, and the room fell into darkness. It seemed as if everything had calmed down. But only Rong Jing knew that his heartbeat was still extremely fast, so it was not so easy to calm down.
...For a wedding, it seems like we have to choose the best day.
His face turned red silently, and then he tried to tell himself in his heart - it's okay, don't think too much, it's still early.
Go to bed quickly!
…
Although Rong Jing felt his mind was still clear when he first closed his eyes, as Xie Changshi's embrace drew closer and his breath pressed against him, he quickly fell into this warmth and fell asleep, sleeping until dawn.
It was like a dream. In the dream, there was a beach. Xie Changshi had changed his clothes for the first time. He was wearing a white suit, holding a ring box in his hand, and looking at him with a smile on his face.
Behind Xie Changshi were Lu Yunji, Song Qing and others who were obviously also dressed in formal attire.
It looks like a wedding scene.
He hadn't expected to actually dream about a wedding. When Rong Jing woke up and saw Xie Changshi's closed eyes, a feeling of guilt slowly rose in his heart. He touched his nose, a subtle movement that Xie Changshi quickly noticed. Even with his eyes closed, the man could still hold his hand. He whispered hoarsely, "Awake so early?"
Rong Jing looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock!
"It's getting late." He quickly got up from the bed and accused Xie Changshi, "Xie Changshi, you've changed. You always got up at six o'clock in Yancheng!"
Xie Changshi opened his eyes, still showing some fatigue.
He rubbed his eyebrows and said with a bit of amusement: "I usually go to bed at six o'clock, so ten o'clock is not too late."
Hearing the words "sleep at six o'clock", Rong Jing couldn't help but blink in confusion and asked curiously, "Why are you sleeping so late? Isn't it only around three o'clock when we go to bed after watching the movie?"
Although it’s quite late, it’s still three hours until six o’clock!
Xie Changshi spoke frankly: "Because I was so happy to think that I had a boyfriend, I couldn't sleep."
Rong Jing: “…”
He shouldn't have asked.
When asked, he blushed.
Pretending to be calm, he said calmly, "Is that so? Then you should learn from me. I can sleep well, and I sleep quite well."
I dreamed that I got married to my boyfriend who I had just confirmed my relationship with.
He didn't dare to say anything more to Xie Changshi, for fear that Xie Changshi would notice his quiet dream. Rong Jing went into the bathroom to wash up, then walked in with his clothes. It took him only a few minutes to get himself ready.
He said, "I need to go to the hospital. Why don't you continue to sleep?"
Thinking that Xie Changshi only slept for four hours that night, Rong Jing still felt a little distressed.
But Xie Changshi shook his head: "No need to sleep, I'll go with you."
There was no point in sleeping since Rong Jing was not around. Xie Changshi got out of bed, changed his clothes, ordered breakfast for Rong Jing, and then went to wash up.
At around half past ten, the two packed up and headed to the hospital.
When Rong Jing and Xie Changshi arrived, they happened to run into the Huai family's old man at the door. He leaned on a cane, but his demeanor remained the same, sharp and efficient as always, unlike any other old man. Noticing Rong Jing, he was initially unsure, but after tentatively calling out "Master Rong" and receiving a positive response from Rong Jing, a smile broke out on his face.
"I thought I was seeing things," said Mr. Huai with a smile, "Master, are you here to visit Xiaoxiao today?"
Rong Jing nodded, raised the fruit in her hand, and curled her eyes: "I don't know what Xiaoxiao likes to eat, so I just bought some fruit."
Although it was casual, Mr. Huai was knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that the fruits in Rong Jing's hand were all expensive. He sighed in his heart, and his expression became more gentle: "You are so polite."
Then he said, "After Xiaoxiao got better, he asked for a brother. We were confused at first, but later we realized he was talking about you."
"Then let's go now."
"Okay." As the old man spoke, his eyes naturally turned to the man next to Rong Jing. In fact, the old man noticed Xie Changshi the moment he saw Rong Jing. After all, Xie Changshi's height, appearance, and temperament were too eye-catching. Even if the old man's eyesight was not good, he could easily spot him.
After exchanging pleasantries with Rong Jing, he finally raised his doubts at the right time: "Who is this gentleman...?"
Rong Jing glanced at Xie Changshi. Xie Changshi raised his eyebrows at him, but had no intention of introducing himself. He obviously wanted to see what kind of identity he would be described in Rong Jing's mouth.
Knowing Xie Changshi's evil intentions, Rong Jing snorted softly in his heart.
Then he earnestly introduced Xie Changshi to the elders: "He is my boyfriend, Xie Changshi."
Xie Changshi?
When the old man heard this familiar name, he suddenly understood.
The old man had long since handed over the family business to his son Huai Wenmin, allowing him to enjoy his retirement. Therefore, the younger generation, including Xie Changshi, only knew their names.
When contacting the Nie family before, the Nie family mentioned that Master Rong had a good relationship with the big boss of the Xie family. Now, after listening to Rong Jing's introduction, the old man couldn't help but take a deep breath.
So the so-called good relationship is actually such a good relationship?!
but……
He carefully observed Rong Jing and Xie Changshi and came to a conclusion: "Master Rong and Mr. Xie are young and promising, and they are quite a match."
The smile on Xie Changshi's face gradually deepened, and he said politely, "You are too kind."
He was modest in words, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
The corner of Rong Jing's eyes twitched slightly.
He thought to himself that Special Assistant Song had previously laughed at how the business people praised Mr. Xie, but none of them praised him enough. Now it seemed that the experienced ones were still the wisest ones, and they knew what Xie Changshi cared about the most as soon as he opened his mouth.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two followed the old man to Xiaoxiao's room. The VIP ward was a bit more spacious than the other wards, and the environment was also better. When they arrived, they happened to catch Xiaoxiao sitting obediently on the bed, while Huai Wenmin and his wife were sitting beside the bed, talking softly, and handing the doll in their hands to Xiaoxiao.
"elder brother!"
The child who took the doll's eyes lit up and he suddenly shouted.
Huai Wenmin and his wife looked up and saw Rong Jing, and a smile immediately appeared on their faces. Huai Wenmin touched his son's head and said with a smile: "Brother is here, what do you want to say to him?"
Xiaoxiao raised her little face, which was still a little pale and had not recovered yet, and said loudly with curved eyes, "Thank you, brother, for saving me."
Rong Jing burst out laughing, walked over and rubbed the little guy's face, praising him: "How can you be so well-behaved? But there is another uncle who saved you, um, the owner of this pendant."
He pointed to the pendant hanging around the little guy's neck.
The little guy heard this and said, "Uncle came here and gave this to Xiaoxiao."
Rong Jing uttered an "eh" and turned to look at Huai Wenmin and his wife, quite surprised: "Has Senior Si been here?"
Madam Huai smiled slightly and nodded, "He came yesterday and said that he and Xiaoxiao were destined to be together, so he gave the pendant to Xiaoxiao and even took Xiaoxiao out to play for the whole afternoon. Xiaoxiao was very happy."
Rong Jing couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
I didn’t expect that Senior Si Liu, who is usually fierce, actually likes children very much and even gave Xiaoxiao a magic weapon.
"That's perfect. I have gifts for you too." Rong Jing pulled out a few small sachets from his backpack and handed one to each member of the Huai family. Under their curious gazes, he explained, "There are amulets inside. This is my way of thanking Mr. Huai for his help."
He didn't say what he wanted to help with, but just winked at Huai Wenmin.
Huai Wenmin looked at Rong Jing, then at Xie Changshi, and remembered what the young Taoist priest named Aqiu from Huaqing Sect had said before, that those crafted jade stones were gifts for Rong Jing's sweetheart, and he suddenly understood.
Huai Wenmin used his excellent judgment, honed in the business world, to assess the relationship between Rong Jing and Xie Changshi, and nodded, "Then I won't be polite to you, Master. This gift is very precious to us."
This is an amulet made by Rong Jing himself, and its value is definitely not comparable to ordinary money.
And it can save your life at the critical moment...
Huai Wenmin would never refuse.
"I'm glad you like it." Rong Jing smiled at them and then said, "I'll be back to Yancheng this afternoon. We'll see each other again if we have the chance."
Upon hearing this, the Huai family looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Master, have a safe journey."
After visiting Huai Xiao, there was basically nothing else to do. Rong Jing and Xie Changshi had lunch and then went to the hotel to pack up and prepare to return to Yancheng.
It was already six in the evening when the plane landed in Yancheng. Rong Jing looked at Aqiu, who had returned with them, and invited him, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
Aqiu immediately refused with both hands and feet.
Are you kidding? He doesn't want to be a third wheel!
"Chi Bai is waiting for me. I'll go back to the department first. Feel free to contact me if you have anything."
"good."
Si Liu looked at Aqiu and felt that he could not be a light bulb. After reminding Xie Changshi to remember to transfer the money, he decisively followed Aqiu and left.
"Senior Si has become more discerning and experienced." Xie Changshi took Rong Jing's hand and walked into the restaurant, jokingly saying.
He still remembered that Si Liu had asked him to take care of him while he was taking care of the mirror.
Rong Jing obviously remembered it and couldn't help grinning.
For dinner, he had the barbecue that Rong Jing liked. After eating, he returned to Yunjiang Bay. He touched his round belly and carefully took out two paper figures from his backpack. The paper figures were only the size of a palm. With a light poke from Rong Jing, one of them moved its arm slightly. Then, vivid facial features appeared on the white paper and it showed a lovely smile to Rong Jing.
At the same time, the other paper figure also shook its body and said to Rong Jing seriously, "Good evening, Taoist priest."
Rong Jing held his chin with one hand and smiled: "Little paper man, your brother is so serious."
At that time, they said they wanted to find the brother of the little paper man disguised as Huai Xiao. Although some accidents happened in the middle, Rong Jing finally found a stack of paper men left by Shi Meng and Tao Xian in the apartment where they lived together.
The rest of the paper figures were handed over to Huaqing Gate by Rong Jing. He only found the little paper figure's brother, and then thought they were very cute, so he brought them back.
Rong Jing poked his serious brother. Seeing that his brother was staggering but still trying to keep a straight face, Rong Jing was almost dying of cuteness. He asked curiously, "What do you usually eat?"
My brother said with a stern face: "Thank you, Taoist priest, but we don't need to eat."
After a pause, he glanced at his brother again and lowered his voice a little: "But my brother likes to eat candy."
Rong Jing was surprised: "Won't it get stuck?"
The little paper figure smiled shyly and explained in a low voice, "Having seen it is the same as having eaten it."
So that's how it is.
Rong Jing searched the house for a long time and found a lot of candy, which he handed to the two little paper figurines. Xie Changshi sat aside and watched him busy himself. Then he glanced at the time and saw that Rong Jing seemed to want to bring the two paper figurines into the room. He decisively grabbed the collar from behind and met the young man's confused eyes. Xie Changshi said succinctly, "Don't play with them all the time. I'll be jealous."
