Su Yan embraced Cheng Kou, kissing her as they retreated, and they stayed together all the way to the master bedroom. Cheng Kou's knees hit the edge of the bed, and they both fell onto the soft quilt.
The raging fire burned away their rationality, and their hearts were filled with each other, wanting to cling to each other until death. However, when approaching the last moment, Su Yan froze and his chaotic consciousness immediately returned.
"What day is it today?" Mingming was still panting, his hair was disheveled, his pupils were as dark as ink, and they stood out so clearly in the darkness, as if nothing could damage his elegance.
Cheng Kou reacted immediately and groaned in annoyance.
Today is her menstrual period, and she has always been punctual. No wonder she felt uncomfortable while waiting for him to come back just now, with a dull pain in her lower abdomen.
Cheng Kou was ashamed and embarrassed, so she threw herself into his arms and buried her head in his.
It seems that some things just have to take their course.
Su Yan rubbed the top of her head lovingly and kissed the hair that was within his reach impatiently.
Braking in time at this moment would definitely not feel good. Su Yan held Cheng Kou for a while to calm down before pulling him out of his arms.
Unexpectedly, she didn't even wait for him to see her face clearly. She turned over quickly, rolled twice, and crawled into the quilt. She then pulled it up to cover half of her face, leaving only a pair of bright black eyes looking at him with a smile.
She performed this series of actions in one go, leaving no time for Su Yan to hold her back. By the time he reacted, Cheng Kou had already taken advantage of the situation, and her feet under the quilt had rubbed against his knees through a thin layer of cotton.
Su Yan couldn't bear it any longer, so he threw back the quilt and crawled in, holding down Cheng Kou and her restless body, and gave her a solid kiss.
When Cheng Kou was out of breath in the intense entanglement, Su Yan let her go. She finally calmed down and lay quietly in Su Yan's arms.
"Hey, Mr. Su, was the movie good?" She raised her head slightly to look at him, with a mischievous smile in her eyes.
"You are such a heartless person." Su Yan snorted in a low voice, and then pretended to reply, "Without Miss Cheng here, no matter how exciting the plot is, it will be boring."
"..." Cheng Kou didn't expect that she was just teasing him casually, but he really took the opportunity to do so.
Cheng Kou was quiet for a while, then she put her arms around his waist, rested her head on his chest, and called his name.
"Su Yan..."
Her voice was soft and gentle, tickling people's hearts.
"Um?"
"Did you come to S University during your junior year?"
"You know?" He had indeed been there, because it was an event jointly organized by C University and S University, which he and Lu Hanting had led and later jointly managed. At that time, he had also tried to find her among the crowds of students, but unfortunately there were too many people, and the result was in vain.
"Well... I see you." When she first saw Su Yan, she was overwhelmed with joy, and then her heartbeat could not be ignored. They had not seen each other for three years, and she thought she had let go of this hopeless crush. But when she saw him, she realized that she had only sealed all her feelings in a corner of her heart, and seeing him in person was the trigger, and she immediately set the prairie on fire.
"Then why didn't you come and say hello?" Su Yan gently pinched her soft cheek with his fingertips, "We all graduated from the same high school. Even if we didn't know each other before, it wouldn't be too much to say a few words."
"Mi Lan said you have a girlfriend." Cheng Kou curled his lips, "Who would take the initiative to talk to you."
"Mi Lan?" Su Yan thought of this outspoken high school classmate and asked with a headache, "What did she say?"
"You've only been at S University for a few days, and the campus BBS is already full of your discussion posts. Didn't Mi Lan also go to help with that event? As soon as she returned to the dormitory, many girls surrounded her and asked about you." Cheng Kou fiddled with the quilt and continued, "Then she told you not to think about it, because she already has a girlfriend, the girl who came with you."
Su Yan recalled and confirmed that there was such a person in his memory. It was a senior schoolmate he met in the club. She took the initiative to pursue him. After being rejected several times, she became more and more courageous and volunteered to help with the event. After arriving at S University, she told everyone that she was his girlfriend. He did not deny it in public because of the girl's face, but reminded her in private to draw a clear line between them.
He originally thought it was just a joke heard by a small group of people, but he didn't expect it to reach Cheng Kou's ears.
"She's just a senior."
After hearing his simple explanation, Cheng Kou glanced at him sideways and uttered four words.
"It attracts bees and butterflies."
Her complaints were not without reason. It was already the second semester of her junior year, and everyone was planning their future after graduation. She had originally planned to return to City C to find a job, but because of this, she stayed in City S.
Now that I think about it, it’s really unfair that I missed so many years for nothing.
"I have always had a question, why did you choose C University? They all said you would apply to S University."
Su Yan hesitated for a while, and decided to tell the truth: "The day after the exam, I met Du Lanshan at school. I asked her where you were going to take the exam, and she told me... You will take the exam for C University with Xia Linchen."
Cheng Kou opened her mouth, her nails digging into her flesh, trying to digest the shock of these words. She wanted to speak several times, but finally fell silent.
Something happened at the beginning of this year. She was alone in S City, without her family and friends. The adult world was too cruel. When she needed help, she suddenly realized that she was alone and helpless.
Suddenly I had the urge to give up my career and return to my hometown.
At the moment she made the decision, she thought of Su Yan. She only knew that he was still in his hometown and would be successful in his career as everyone expected. They were not classmates, and when others mentioned this name, they only mentioned it briefly.
She wanted to know his recent situation and what changes he had made in the past few years. She resolutely submitted her resignation letter despite her boss's request to stay. Then she quickly dealt with everything in City S and returned to City C with her luggage.
The moment she walked out of the airport, she felt like she was reborn.
She had a wish at that time - even if Su Yan and she were just strangers, she just wanted to go back to a place closer to him.
She wanted to walk the same streets with him, see the same scenery, eat the same food, drink the same coffee, and do the same things.
When she grows old, she will feel grateful when she thinks back on this man, the ten years, and this unrepentant crush.
Cheng Kou rested her head on his arm, feeling extremely lucky that she finally came back, giving her the opportunity to stay by his side and walk through the passing years.
On the same night, something happened in the apartment next door. Xia Linchen went out to take photos, leaving only Du Lanshan and Shen Yinran in the huge apartment.
Du Lanshan stayed in the room where Cheng Kou once lived. There were traces of her everywhere, and the arrangement of the furniture retained her habits.
She felt annoyed for a while, and thinking about the phone call she just received, she became even more reckless.
It was her uncle who called and asked for money the first thing he did.
It was her trouble-making cousin Du Wenhao again. He had just had a few days of summer vacation and went out to have fun all day. After drinking too much, he beat someone up. Unfortunately, the other party was a playboy, lying in the hospital ward wrapped like a dumpling. He did not ask Du Wenhao to apologize. He was sure that their family had no money, so he asked for 500,000 yuan, otherwise he would let Du Wenhao go to jail.
Du Lanshan's uncle and aunt have been running that half-sized snack bar all their lives, and they may not even have 500,000 yuan in their hands. How can they raise the money
Naturally, their plan turned to Du Lanshan. They had no money, but Du Lanshan had some. Even if she didn't have any, she would find a way to get it.
Their demands were unreasonable and difficult, and the usually docile Du Lanshan couldn't help but shout back, only to get the reply that you have to get the money no matter what.
Du Lanshan's chest heaved violently, and her cell phone fell heavily onto the bed. After rolling a few times, the somewhat outdated phone fell from the other side of the bed to the ground with a crisp "pop" sound.
She still felt unsatisfied, so she kicked the only chair in the room. The chair was too heavy, so it slid forward a short distance, but it left a deep mark on the floor, making a "sound of sickness" sound.
Her voice was so loud that it startled Shen Yinran who lived next door. She knocked on the door twice and pushed it open without waiting for an answer.
This was a habit she developed from living with Cheng Kou. The two of them were inseparable, and she was used to being carefree, so she didn't pay much attention to these small details of getting along with others.
But the worst thing was that Du Lanshan was on the verge of collapse, and was seen in such a miserable state by a stranger, which made the string of her "reason" break completely.
Du Lanshan looked at Shen Yinran coldly, her tone extremely sarcastic: "You are here to laugh at me too? Ha, Shen Yinran, what's the difference between you and me? We both live here thanks to Cheng Kou, and we both like a man who has no eyes for us, and that man only looks at his good friends?"
The smile on Shen Yinran's face disappeared, and her expression looked very ugly, but she calmed down, her brain was working, and her words were clear, each word hitting Du Lanshan's heart.
"I knew from the beginning that Lu Hanting liked Cheng Kou, so what? It's Lu Hanting's freedom to like whoever he wants, and it's not my turn to control it. Du Lanshan, not everything in life can go your way."
"Oh, in my life, I have never been able to get anything I want. Cheng Kou has paid so much, Su Yan likes her, and Lu Hanting likes her too. I have worked so hard, but in the end, I have nothing!"
Du Lanshan stared at her with a stubborn look. Shen Yinran looked at her calmly with eyes full of pity.
"Du Lanshan, you don't deserve to be called Cheng Kou's friend." Shen Yinran said, "You are not a friend. You can't applaud for her happiness, but just want to blame your misfortune on her. Where in the world can there be a friend like you?"
The friendship between her and Cheng Kou is unbreakable. They go crazy together. So what if the person you like likes your best friend? She stands by her side unconditionally.
Of course, she was jealous of Cheng Kou, because she didn't want what she couldn't get. But this had nothing to do with her friendship with Cheng Kou, because Cheng Kou had never done anything wrong to her, and she had no right to blame Cheng Kou.
Du Lanshan looked unhappy, partly because of anger, but more because of the embarrassment of being refuted. She stopped arguing with Shen Yinran, strode past her, and rushed out of the suffocating apartment.
She sat in the vine-covered gazebo downstairs, typing a text message with trembling fingertips.
Su Yan had already fallen asleep. Cheng Kou could hear his even breathing, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Su Yan's other phone lit up. Cheng Kou glanced at it and saw a familiar name. She didn't care about privacy and clicked on the text message.
Taking out his cell phone, Cheng Kou glanced at the sleeping face of the person lying next to him in the light and made up his mind.
She sent a text message to Du Lanshan, asking her to meet tomorrow.
