At home, Song Yu went to the kitchen, sliced some fruits, and brought them out. Throughout their journey, Yu Qianying had been keeping quiet about a question that she had, but as of then, she could no longer keep it in. “What happened between you and Li Zhuoan? You’ve kept in touch with him before?”
“No, we just bumped into each other at the Red Roof Club,” Song Yu replied plainly, and fearing that her mother might ask her why she went to that place, she continued explaining, “I bumped into some old friends from Jixia High School, both girls and boys. They said a lot of mean things to me. You know those kinds of people; they just love slinging mud at you. Li Zhuoan just looked at them from the side and didn’t stop them. I suppose he felt sorry for me.”
Surprisingly, Yu Qianying’s attention was shifted to the latter part of Song Yu’s sentence. She paid little attention to the Red Roof Club and instead cursed the group of people. After that she said, “That Li Zhuoan, he likes you, doesn’t he?”
“I don’t know actually, but someone like him wouldn’t treat someone so nicely just for the heck of it. Even if he likes me, I wouldn’t accept him. The Li family wouldn’t accept someone like me. Just like those pampered young men from wealthy families, I don’t think he’d be serious about me even if he did like me. I’d be no more than a plaything, so why should I waste myself on him?” Song Yu remarked calmly.
Yu Qianying’s fears were alleviated after hearing Song Yu words.
Song Yu then felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She took it out, saw Qi Chengzhi’s name, and went into the room to take it.
She picked up, but before she could say anything, his rich and sweet-sounding voice resounded from the other end. “Come down. I’m near your house.”
“I’m staying here tonight. You should go home,” Song Yu replied plainly. She had already walked over to the window and looked at the Range Rover below.
“…” She did not hear Qi Chengzhi’s reply, only his breathing. It went on for a long while before he finally said, “If you don’t come down, I’ll pay your parents a visit. There’s no time like the present.”
“…” Song Yu froze. In fact, she knew that he did not want to attend the blind date dinner.
She was quite aware of that fact when she saw him huffing and puffing away in the room.
Once she frowned, he stopped smoking in front of her and completely ignored Yu Keyao. Yu Keyao could suffocate for all he cared. His actions were clearly a deliberate provocation.
She remembered that he did not even take off his overcoat, which meant that he had just entered the place.
Nonetheless, she still felt extremely unsettled because she noticed the admiration in Yu Keyao’s eyes. She was mad that her man was ogled at by some other woman, even though it was not technically his fault.
She thought about his slim figure and his handsome face. Why did he have to be so good-looking? Whenever he went out, members of the opposite sex would be attracted to him like bees and butterflies to a flower. It was simply a nuisance!
When they were at the entrance, she was itching to run up to them—she wanted to exert all of her energy to pull him away and tell Yu Keyao that he was her man; that Yu Keyao better not think about doing anything funny.
That was why Song Yu was currently at loggerheads with him.
“Are you coming down or not?” he asked again after a moment.
“…” Song Yu gnashed her teeth and said, “Wait.”
She wore her overcoat and tidied her things up. Yu Qianying did not make her stay. Song Yu was allowed to leave early because she had to go to work again the next day.
…
…
Song Yu wrapped herself in her overcoat and looked at the Range Rover not too far away. Her footsteps became slower, and she walked over only after making sure that her expression was a sullen one.
The smell of smoke crashed into her the instant she entered into the car, no doubt because he had just smoked a few moments ago.
On that particular night, he had a cigarette in his lips whenever she chanced upon him. She had no idea how many cigarettes he had smoked up until then.
He glanced briefly at her before driving off in silence.
Then, his warm and slender hand reached over and held her hand, which she placed on top of her thigh. When his well-defined fingers grasped her, his fingertips brushed through the thin tights that covered her thighs. The heat from his fingertips penetrated her tights, scalding her thigh and making her shiver.
Song Yu did trust him, but she remained angry nonetheless. Since her anger had yet to be quelled, she tried breaking free from his grip because she did not want him to hold her hand.
She exerted all her strength in order to attempt breaking free. Qi Chengzhi maintained his grip on her and did not let go. Finally, he decided that he might as well pull her hand over and rest it on his thigh.
Song Yu struggled once again but stopped after failing to break free. She looked out of the window in utter dissatisfaction.
She did not dare to even get on another man’s car, and yet he had the nerve to attend a blind date.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Immediately, she pinched his thigh with all of her might and heard him suck air through his teeth as a result of the pain. Moments ago, his friskiness manifested gradually when her hand was placed on him. Unfortunately for him, he did not expect to be pinched without a single word of warning. Qi Chengzhi felt such a sharp pain that he broke out in cold sweat as his thigh began trembling.
He gnashed his teeth and turned the steering wheel abruptly. The Range Rover drove through an uneven patch of road and shook for a moment before finally stopping.
The sudden bumpiness gave Song Yu a fright, and it was only when the car stopped that she realized it was an empty plot of land behind her parents’ residential area. The land had just been flattened in preparation for the construction of commercial housing, so the area was still bumpy, and deserted at night.
Qi Chengzhi released his seatbelt, then stretched himself past her waist. All she heard was a patter and her seatbelt had been released as well. Immediately after that, he grabbed her and placed her onto his lap.
“If you’re not happy, I’ll bring you home and introduce you to my family tomorrow, how about it?” he leaned forward and asked in a deep voice as his warm hands clutched her waist.
“…” Song Yu kept quiet. ‘So what? Even if he introduces me, it’s not like the Qi family will accept me.’
Qi Chengzhi pursed his strict-looking lips, making his appearance seem even more intimidating. He switched on the light in the car. The yellow illumination radiated on his face and made him look extremely handsome.
“You came in on purpose and yet you pretended not to know me. You’re good at pretending, aren’t you?” Qi Chengzhi clutched her waist even tighter.
Song Yu felt weak and she leaned involuntarily into his embrace. Her demeanor was nothing short of submissive.
Qi Chengzhi looked down at her obedient appearance as well as the shy yet seductive blush on her cheek. His nostrils were filled with her faint scent. He leaned over and plastered his thin lips onto the corner of her eyes, kissing her gently. Song Yu shuddered from his warmth. The corner of her eyes was moist, and she took in his fresh, tobacco-infused scent. His lips looked stern, but in reality, they were gentle and warm; that was precisely what she felt in the corner of her eye. His tender kisses warmed her cheek and the corner of her lips. Just as he was about to kiss her on the lips, Song Yu pushed him away abruptly.
He did not expect her to react in such a way. His was left to kiss the air when his body was pushed back against the chair. He was not in a good mood, and he narrowed his eyes ever so slightly as he glared at her.
“I heard the girl call you Big Brother Chengzhi. Did that sweet voice melt you on the inside, Big Brother Chengzhi?” Song Yu pursed her lips, and her voice was filled with disdain. “You like it if someone calls you that? Big Brother Chengzhi?”
Qi Chengzhi’s expression softened tremendously and the corner of his lips could not help but curl up slightly.
“That someone didn’t make me hard, but you did.” His voice became even huskier and richer than before. He pulled her abruptly into his embrace and made sure she was in contact with him.
When he said ‘That someone’, it made Song Yu happy, and she did not care whether or not he actually did forget Yu Keyao’s name. She had yet to finish reveling in her delight when Qi Chengzhi pressed himself onto her, and—as if in retribution for her not allowing him to kiss her—began attacking her lips forcefully. Song Yu did not push him away anymore. Her back was pressed onto the steering wheel and he explored her mouth with vigor. She did not even have the energy to reply to him.
Qi Chengzhi’s somewhat swollen lips rubbed against hers as he uttered in his low and husky voice, “Call me Big Brother Chengzhi again.”
“…” Song Yu blushed. When she called him like that, it was to make him feel disgusted, but in the end, it had no effect on him. There was no way she could call him that way again since the mood had changed considerably. She got goosebumps before she could endear herself to him.
Qi Chengzhi let out a soft laugh. It was that kind of snicker that made her feel as though he was laughing at her for being jealous. She sucked in a breath of air and intended to protest, but she lost her voice when she laid eyes on his brave, turbulent, and resplendent black pupils.
What did he intend to do in the desolate wilderness?
Did he become addicted to getting off inside the car?
She was stunned into silence by his piercing eyes. The last time they did in the car, it was in the garage, so she had a sense of security because there were walls surrounding them at least. In the present, they were outside, and although there was no one around them, Song Yu still felt uncomfortable.
After a long while, Song Yu felt so choked that her face became red. It was then that he released her and pressed his lips on the corner of hers. The droplets of sweat on his forehead were very sexy in the moonlight.
“Are you still going to argue with me?” Qi Chengzhi remained glued to the corner of her lips as he crooned huskily.
“…” Song Yu was incapable of saying a word. Her face was already red-hot and she was afraid to let anyone see her.
Qi Chengzhi then placed his lips on the corner of her eyes and hugged her tightly. “Are you still going to argue with me!”
“No! No! I won’t argue anymore,” she whispered as her toes curled up. Her fingers grabbed rightly on the back of his shirt, and she was forced into compliance by him.
Song Yu eventually threw herself into his embrace. She had unbuttoned a couple of his shirt buttons, and she had no idea that the sudden excitement caused her to become so unrestrained. All traces of shyness vanished from her completely. Although she could only take a sneak peek at his sturdy chest through the few opened buttons of his shirt, she completely lost all self-control and tore his shirt from the collar.
In the heat of the moment, she could care less for opening the buttons one by one. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of buttons hitting the car window before disappearing to God-knows-where. About half of his shirt had been opened, but there still remained a few intact buttons nearer to the shirttail. Song Yu realized that she may have been too ravenous. Then, she placed her cheek on his exposed chest and inserted her fingers in and out of the opening of those still intact shirt buttons.
“I think Yu Keyao really likes you. I hate the way she looks admiringly at you.” As a result of her being estranged from the Yu family, she did not feel much for them. They were like strangers to her, maybe even lesser than strangers.
In the beginning, when the Song family went bankrupt, Song Yu did not have any hopes that there would be anyone coming to their aid. Their company was a big one, and if they wanted to help, they had to shell out a considerable amount of funds to do so. It was not something that could be done on a whim.
However, the Yu family wasted no time in cutting off ties. It finally opened her eyes to the real character of the Yu family, and from then on, she no longer looked favorably upon them.
When Yu Keyao fawned over Qi Chengzhi so brazenly, Song Yu felt disgusted at the Yu family.
As she laid herself on him, she could feel a shudder in Qi Chengzhi’s chest. He lowered her head in search of her eyes, but eventually, he brushed his lips against her cheek. His freshly-emerging stubble rubbed against her tender cheek and made it somewhat red. Song Yu did not feel pain, only a ticklish numbness. She looked up and made direct contact with his pleased-looking pupils.
She seldom saw his smiling eyes, and at that moment his lips parted slightly whilst rubbing against her cheek. His husky, sexy voice uttered, “You jealous?”
“…” Song Yu grabbed his shirt firmly and buried her face in his chest without speaking.
After a while, he felt her arms enveloping his waist tightly.
She began speaking after a lengthy silence. “Don’t go on blind dates anymore in the future okay. I know you it wasn’t your intention, but I still can’t take it when I see it.”
Qi Chengzhi kneaded her hair and planted a kiss on her shiny forehead. “Okay.”
“Where’s the business card?” Qi Chengzhi then asked.
Song Yu looked at him curiously. She forgot about it momentarily and came to a realization only when his face turned sour. She figured his expression was sullen because he thought about Li Zhuoan.
She took her bag from the passenger seat beside her and rummaged for the card.
Without allowing her to take a closer look at it, his snatched the card from her, looked at it with disdain and tore it in half twice. Then he threw the pieces out of the window.
Her expression was not unhappy, though it was docile and somewhat hazy, even. It was all because they just did it, and the pleasant lingering effects had yet to subside. Song Yu’s reaction was still rather slow, and she looked at him in her adorable, trance-like state.
Qi Chengzhi’s heart was fluttering wildly. He bent down to plant a flurry of kisses on her cheek, then he held her head up and kissed her on the lips.
He kissed her with the utmost passion, and he nearly went for round two.
Song Yu was already rather uncomfortable. The wilderness was unsafe and there was only so much space in the car; like the previous time they did it in the car, her legs became very sore.
She blushed while pushing him and telling him softly, “Wait till we’re home.”
Qi Chengzhi hugged her and sneered lightly, producing waves of numbness and hotness on her cheek.
At that moment, his open shirt exposed his fair-colored and sturdy-looking chest. His tidy hair had been thoroughly messed up by their antics, and his expression was much more unruly than the solemn seriousness that so often graced his expression.
Qi Chengzhi carried her and placed her back onto the passenger seat before starting the car and driving away.
…
The next morning, Song Yu continued to sleep. The night before, Qi Chengzhi did her quite well: first in the car, then when they reached home, he pressed her down and did her a second time. Song Yu really wanted to search the web and check if Qi Chengzhi’s desires were out of the norm. If it was an illness, she wanted it cured.
In the midst of her sound sleep, she felt as though the customary warmth was no longer present. Song Yu did not want to wake up, so she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and curled herself up. She tried to continue sleeping, but her nose became blocked. Her only recourse was to breathe through her mouth.
Eventually, the discomfort forced her to open her eyes unwillingly. She noticed Qi Chengzhi all dressed up and sitting beside the bed.
Since it was Sunday, Qi Chengzhi did not wear his suit-overcoat-dress shirt combination. Relaxed, his long legs were crossed and they looked incredibly elegant.
Then, his bony, well-defined forefinger and middle finger clipped her nose lightly, while a pleasant scent emanated from his fingers.
Song Yu used the blanket to cover everything from her nose down. A smell would undoubtedly have been produced in her mouth after sleeping the whole night. She felt extremely embarrassed when comparing it with his fresh smell.
Living together would produce plenty of embarrassing moments. Be it a good side or a bad side of someone, all of it would be displayed in full view, and there was no way one could hide from it.
“Why are you up so early?” She spoke under the covers and had a muffled voice.
“You should get up too, so I can bring you back to your apartment and you can pack up and bring over your remaining belongings.” Qi Chengzhi whisked the blanket away after seeing how she covered herself.
“Don’t pull it, my breath stinks.” Song Yu grabbed a hold of the blanket and covered her whole head without letting go.
Qi Chengzhi whisked it away without warning and leaned over to her. “It just so happens that I’ve brushed my teeth. I’ll clean your mouth for you.”
Once he finished his sentence, he glued himself to her lips and explored the insides of her mouth with his tongue.
Song Yu was so ashamed that she was scared of showing her face. He just kissed her without thinking that it was unhygienic to do so. She became even more panicky and ashamed when she tasted the minty flavor on his tongue and in his mouth.
“Time to get up.” He lifted her up and left her to tidy her things up while he went downstairs.
After breakfast, he brought her back to her apartment. All her stuff was packed into luggage bags and placed in his car.
Qi Chengzhi looked to his side and laid his eyes on the quiet Song Yu. She would start living with him at his place once everything was moved over.
Her head was slightly lowered and her face seemed calm from the side.
His clean, slender hand extended over and covered her hand resting on her thigh. Slowly, he could feel her hand turning over, and she subsequently held his hand in her soft palm.
A red light came just in time for him to look over at her from head to toe. His thumb gently caressed her hand as he gazed at the beautiful fingers belonging to both Song Yu and himself.
Both their fingers were slender and good-looking, making for an exquisitely beautiful sight when intertwined together.
