On the way back, Lin Qingle was a little dazed and almost stumbled when walking.
"Qingle, is your mother okay?"
The neighbor's voice brought her back to her senses. "Oh! It's okay. Just take two or three days to recover."
"So your boyfriend left?"
Lin Qingle: "Um... yes."
"It's New Year's Day, why don't you let him stay at home?"
"It's more convenient for him to live outside... Um, Auntie, my mom is upstairs alone, I'll go up first."
"Hey, okay, go ahead..."
The neighbors were obviously not satisfied with the gossip, but Lin Qingle was not very good at dealing with it and could only run away quickly.
After returning home, Lin Yufen was still sleeping. Lin Qingle collapsed on the sofa and exhaled lightly. She listened to her heartbeat and stared at the ceiling. As she looked, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.
If we weren't in that open space just now, actually... we could have kissed.
—
Lin Yufen's leg injury was not serious and she was able to walk again after three days of rest.
During these three days, gossip about her daughter and her boyfriend spread among the neighbors. On this day, when she was thinking of going out for a walk and preparing some food for New Year's Eve, she was surrounded by several old sisters who usually hang out together.
"How did you find one? Ask Qingle to introduce one to my daughter. My daughter also works in the capital."
"Is this guy rich? His annual income is high, right? What do his parents do?"
"When are you going to get engaged?!"
"Yufen, you are so lucky. Your daughter is so outstanding. I didn't expect your son-in-law is also outstanding."
…
Lin Yufen should have been annoyed by being surrounded by so many questions, but when she heard others praising the two children and admiring her, she didn't feel annoyed at all.
"Your son-in-law is really good. He delivered meals to your home every day during the three days when you were injured. He really cares about you."
Lin Yufen smiled when she heard this.
Over the past few days, the child really came to their house every day to take care of their diet. Sometimes when she wanted to go out for a walk, he would patiently help her.
She could see that he loved her daughter very much, so he was willing to do this.
"Well, he is really good." Lin Yufen said.
"Yeah! I really envy you."
…
It was New Year's Eve. Lin Yufen chatted with her neighbors for a while and then went to buy vegetables.
Lin Yufen bought a lot of food and went into the kitchen to prepare it after returning, while Lin Qingle followed her to help.
"When will Xu Tingbai come over?" Lin Qingle was concentrating on washing vegetables when he suddenly heard Lin Yufen ask.
Lin Qingle was stunned for a moment, then looked at her: "Ah?"
"Today is New Year's Eve, he won't come to our house for dinner?"
Lin Qingle was still thinking about what to say, but he didn't expect Lin Yufen to speak up herself, "Is it okay?"
Lin Yufen was puzzled: "If he doesn't come to our place to eat, where else can he eat? His parents are not here."
Lin Qingle's eyes were suddenly filled with joy. She wiped her hands and said, "Yes! Then I'll call him and ask him to come over at dinner time."
Seeing her anxious look, Lin Yufen laughed, "Go find him. Remember to come back together at five o'clock."
Lin Qingle: "This still needs to be washed..."
"It's nothing. I don't need your help. Go quickly. You're still in the way in the kitchen."
Lin Qingle: “Oh!”
—
Xu Tingbai actually hadn't thought about having New Year's Eve dinner at Lin Qingle's house. Firstly, it was because his status had not yet reached that level. Secondly, Lin Qingle's mother had not expressed much in the past few days. He knew that she accepted his relationship with her daughter, but he was not sure whether she fully approved of him.
At noon today, he had a meal at the hotel and planned to take a nap. The company was on holiday, and he had nothing else to do except for Lin Qingle, so his daily life was still very leisurely.
But as soon as I lay down, my cell phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and quickly picked up the phone: "Hello."
"You are in the hotel." A familiar voice came from the other side, with a hint of obvious joy. Xu Tingbai smiled silently, thinking that even if he couldn't see, he could imagine the expression of that person at this moment, with curved eyebrows and bright expression, very cute.
"Yes, I am."
"I'm downstairs in the hotel. I want to talk to you about something."
Xu Tingbai immediately sat up from the bed: "You are downstairs?"
"Yeah, I just came here to tell you that my mom said you should come to my house for dinner tonight."
Xu Tingbai was startled: "Really?"
"Well, I was thinking of telling her about it, but she brought it up herself."
Xu Tingbai was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was relieved: "It seems that your mother recognizes me."
Lin Qingle laughed softly: "Why doesn't she recognize you?"
Xu Tingbai leaned back on the pillow and said in a light voice: "You mean, I'm fine?"
Lin Qingle snorted: "What's wrong, are you still not confident?"
"Well, I'm never very confident around you."
"You are still not confident..." Lin Qingle muttered, "How can others live then?"
"What?"
"Nothing." Lin Qingle said with a smile, "Then do you want to come down? I'm downstairs."
Xu Tingbai paused and said, "Come up."
"ah?"
Xu Tingbai: "It's so cold, come up and sit for a while, and go out later."
Lin Qingle paused and said, “Yeah, it’s so cold and I don’t know where to go.”
"Why, you don't dare to come to my room?"
Lin Qingle was puzzled when he heard him say that: "It's not like I haven't been to your room before, why don't you dare?"
Xu Tingbai curled his lips and said, "Well, come on, room 1702, I'll tell the front desk."
"good."
Lin Qingle registered as a visitor downstairs, and after being allowed in by the front desk, she got on the elevator. Two minutes later, she stopped outside Xu Tingbai's room.
Lin Qingle felt that it was strange that Xu Tingbai provoked her. She had been to his old room and his current room, so how could she not dare to go to his room in the hotel
Wondering, she rang the doorbell.
The doorbell rang twice before someone inside opened it. Xu Tingbai was standing behind the door in a white bathrobe.
Lin Qingle was stunned. It was already afternoon, and he hadn’t changed his clothes yet
Lin Qingle subconsciously took a look... Xu Tingbai looked a little different in his bathrobe than usual.
He was casual and lazy, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in the ambiguity of "just waking up", and the belt he tied casually around his waist was not going to fall off, and it also brought with it a vague sexiness... This was very different from the serious feeling he usually gave people.
"You, haven't you gone out today?"
Xu Tingbai gave up his seat to let her in, and said helplessly: "You didn't look for me, and I had nothing to do when I went out."
It seems so... Apart from Grandma Jiang and her, there is no one else he needs to see here.
Lin Qingle walked in and looked around.
This hotel is the best hotel in their Xicheng, and the room where Xu Tingbai lives is obviously the best room. It has a large space, a good view, low-key and restrained decoration, and a light indoor fragrance.
I thought it was nothing when I came upstairs just now, but after I came up, I found that the hotel room seemed to be a little different from the usual rooms. As soon as I walked in, the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Lin Qingle scratched his hair lightly, and inexplicably felt an awkward atmosphere: "What were you doing just now?"
"I was about to go to bed, but suddenly I received your call."
"Oh... Did you have lunch?"
The most conspicuous place in the room is the bed. Lin Qingle couldn't help but look over there. The quilt in front of him was a little messy, and it seemed that he was really going to sleep just now.
Xu Tingbai: “Yeah.”
"OK."
She answered dryly and didn't know what to say.
Xu Tingbai saw her standing in the middle in confusion, with a slight smile on his face. He walked forward and took her hand: "Why are you standing here? Come and sit down."
He pulled her to sit down beside the bed and he lay back down on the bed.
Lin Qingle sat upright on the edge of the bed: "Well, what should we do now?"
Xu Tingbai lay on his side and looked at her: "What do you want to do?"
"… "
In this environment and location, this statement sounds strange.
Lin Qingle swallowed lightly: "Watch TV?"
Xu Tingbai smiled again: "Okay, here is the remote control."
Lin Qingle took it and said, "Then I'll sit on the sofa and watch."
Just as he was about to stand up, an arm suddenly crossed his waist and said, "It's cold sitting on the sofa, cover yourself with a quilt and watch it."
He exerted a little force and dragged her over by the waist. At the same time, he lifted the quilt and let her get into his bed accurately.
Lin Qingle: “…!”
The TV was right in front of her, and it was indeed suitable to watch it while lying in bed, but... she didn't think she could watch TV while curled up in the quilt with him!!!
"... Actually, it's quite hot like this." Lin Qingle wore a short down jacket when she went out, and his room was well heated. If he gave her a quilt now, she would be really hot.
Xu Tingbai: "Take off your clothes."
Lin Qingle slowly turned his head to look at him.
Xu Tingbai leaned on the pillow, his voice was light and his face was serious, as if there was nothing flirtatious about him. But when he said this, it was very ambiguous.
Seeing her stiffen, Xu Tingbai added, "I said to take off your coat, not the whole thing. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not scared." Lin Qingle was hit on the spot and unzipped himself guiltily, "I just wanted to take off my coat. I didn't think of anything else."
Xu Tingbai nodded, with a smile in his eyes, and helped her pull up her sleeves and take off her thick coat.
There was a pillow of moderate softness behind her, and a snow-white soft quilt in front of her. After taking off her thick coat, the barrier between her and him seemed to be much smaller. Lin Qingle was trapped in the quilt, trying very hard to ignore the person leaning against her, and also trying very hard to watch the drama on the TV in front of her.
But... it's still hot.
Xu Tingbai had deliberately coaxed her over. He liked being with her like this, and he also found it very amusing to see her pretending to be calm just now.
But now that the two of them were really lying on the bed so peacefully... Xu Tingbai turned his eyes slightly and glanced at the person with a blushing face beside him, as if he was not teasing her, but himself.
—
Lin Qingle was trying very hard to watch the TV series, but she couldn't ignore the burning gaze at the side. After trying to endure it again and again, she couldn't help it anymore and turned to look at the person next to her.
"Do you watch TV..."
Xu Tingbai lay on his side: "It doesn't look good."
"Then why don't you change to something you like?"
"None of that looks good anymore when you're here."
Lin Qingle was stunned, and met his unreserved gaze, feeling nervous but also sweet.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Xu Tingbai sighed and put his hand on her cheek: "It's so hot, and it's still hot?"
“It’s not hot!”
"Hmm." Xu Tingbai pinched it lightly. The skin under his hand was delicate and smooth, and felt especially good. He couldn't help but retract his fingers.
“… What are you doing?”
Xu Tingbai: "Do you remember what you said when you drove me out of your house a few days ago in the parking lot?"
Lin Qingle's mind buzzed. Of course she remembered it.
Xu Tingbai looked solemn and said, "You said it's not appropriate there, can we do it next time... Well, there's no one else here, can we do it here?"
Lin Qingle instantly felt her breath getting hot, and her eyes slowly moved down to his lips. Just looking at him reminded her of the feeling that day, his lips were so soft...
Seeing that she didn't refuse and kept staring at him, Xu Tingbai couldn't hold back any longer. He held her face, leaned over and kissed her lips.
The moment they touched, both of them were slightly shocked.
Then, Xu Tingbai took a sip tentatively...
It was just a kiss, but Lin Qingle felt like her heart was about to explode. She was nervous, but also excited. She half-closed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, thinking very clearly in her mind, his lips are really soft...
Thinking of this, she subconsciously opened her mouth, reached out and licked it lightly.
"… "
Xu Tingbai suddenly stopped, moved away a little, and looked up at her.
Lin Qingle knew what he had done and was also stunned. He said randomly: "I, I... your lips are very soft."
The eyes of the person in front of her suddenly became dark, and Lin Qingle felt a little panic in her heart. She stepped back a little, "I didn't mean it...ah!"
The person next to him suddenly turned over and pulled the quilt, completely covering both of them!
Lin Qingle raised his eyes to look at the person above him, and before he could hide the panic in his eyes, his whole body was pressed into the soft pillow. In the dim light, Xu Tingbai came down with an obviously aggressive kiss.
It was not a light touch like before. His lips and tongue seemed unable to control the impulse and they penetrated her mouth recklessly, and his breath instantly filled her mouth.
Lin Qingle had never experienced such stimulation and oppression before, and his first reaction was to get up and push him, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was grabbed by the wrist and pressed down.
"Hmm..."
The space on the bed was extremely cramped as it was covered by the quilt.
She was trapped by him, her whole body was pressed tightly, her clenched fists showed a trace of sweat on her palms, and she could only feel his unrestrained and unusually disordered breathing.
As the two struggled, her clothes rustled. Slowly, she almost lost her last bit of panic and rationality. The touch aroused tingling in her nerves, and the sweet madness almost completely overwhelmed her.
"Hmm!" As he plunged into the trap recklessly, he failed to restrain his strength and Lin Qingle let out a sound.
Xu Tingbai stopped suddenly as if waking up from a dream. He leaned closer to her ear and stopped forcedly.
The once familiar smell was the strongest here. He turned his head away, avoiding the smell that made him crazy and deeply trapped...
"Don't bite me... it hurts."
The soft and coquettish voice did not sound like a complaint, but rather like a catalyst, trying to ignite him even more.
Xu Tingbai was frightened when he heard this and immediately pulled the quilt down!
Fresh air rushed in, and he didn't dare to maintain this posture any longer, so he turned over and lay down in his original position.
Xu Tingbai lay on his back, rubbing his hands secretly to calm his breathing.
"I'm sorry. It was careless." He glanced sideways at Lin Qingle's neck. There was already a little blood on the place where he had almost lost control just now.
Lin Qingle stretched out his hand to cover it: "Don't bite it anymore..."
"… good."
Lin Qingle was still confused and turned to look at him, but he turned his face away.
Xu Tingbai went forward and hugged her, saying in a hoarse voice: "Don't look at me, just lie still."
Lin Qingle was forced to turn sideways and was hugged by him from behind.
"Xu Tingbai..." She still couldn't help but want to look back at him.
Xu Tingbai: "Keep biting if you watch."
Lin Qingle's head froze halfway and he immediately turned back.
Xu Tingbai touched her head and sighed: "Well... That's it."
