Crocs suceurs de sang - Chapitre 11
Ye You said, "The flowers were rented from the airport flower shop. They take care of the collection themselves. I sometimes have to be careful with my money."
Xianjing smiled gently; a day filled with love is a sunny day every day.

An Zhu had been waiting at home for a long time. When the two met, they embraced warmly, which made Ye You and Shi Lei a little jealous. The friendship between women can also be touching, like theirs.
"When are you going to Japan?" Ye You asked Shi Lei. Xian Jing and An Zhu were talking about something in the room, looking rather furtive.
"Next Saturday, I plan to have Anzhu stay at my place, since the house is empty anyway."
"Great! Then I'll move in with Xianjing too. This shabby house should have been returned a long time ago. It's so small, no one can live in it. The bathroom is freezing cold." Ye You opened the refrigerator and took out a bag of pork jerky. It was noon, and she was starving.
"Are you done yet, ladies?" Ye You called out to the inner room while chewing heartily. "I'm so hungry, my stomach is practically sticking to my back."
Anzhu ignored him and simply asked, "Do they really want to harm you?"
Xianjing grabbed Anzhu's hand, "I ate a piece and swallowed it, what do you suggest we do?"
"It's nothing, what can we do? After delivering the stones on Saturday, we'll go to the temple to pray and eat vegetarian food to get rid of the bad luck. It's okay, we ate it, so it's okay. Tang Zhou said it's fine, so it's fine." An Zhu was still a little worried. "But don't be so silly next time."
"I would never dare to do it again." Xianjing patted her chest. "My stomach still feels strange."
"Let's go outside, look how anxious your child is," Anzhu joked.
"Oh, right, Tang Zhou gave each of us something." Xian Jing opened her bag and took out two chains with pendants made of peach wood and featuring a Tai Chi symbol.
“He’s so thoughtful.” Anzhu quickly put it around her neck. “Why wasn’t he this romantic back in college?”
"Thanks to him, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back and would have died far from home." Xianjing pointed to her neck, which she had already put on.
The four of them ate together, a Western meal. The steak was very tender, still bloody, which made Xianjing feel nauseous, but she endured it, not wanting to spoil everyone's enjoyment.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ye You noticed that Xian Jing's expression was off.
"I'll ask the waiter to change my steak to udon noodles," Xianjing said, looking at the piece of meat.
Shi Lei had a good appetite and ate heartily. He said to Xian Jing, "You two will be living separately from now on. Remember to come and keep An Zhu company often."
"Why do you want to live separately?" Xianjing asked.
“I went to Japan. The house there is empty, and it's close to her work.” Shi Lei took a sip of ice water. “You might as well not live there either. An Zhu said that house is haunted. Move out tomorrow.”
Xian Jing said, "Then I'll live alone."
Ye You looked at her and said seriously, "Who allowed you to live alone? Move in with me."
"That's not good," Xianjing shook her head. "I don't want it to be like this."
"No way! I'm so scared living alone. There's no one to cook for me, and I eat takeout every day. Look how much weight I've lost these past few days." Ye You rolled up her sleeves, revealing her arms. "Look, even the little mice are gone."
Anzhu chimed in from the side, "Look how pitiful your child is. You're so heartless."
Xian Jing's heart softened, and she agreed. Ye You winked at An Zhu, who was taken aback for a moment, but then remembered the saying "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow," and immediately calmed down.
Ye You's gesture was a way of expressing gratitude.
Many women get attracted to their friends' boyfriends. Getting attracted is one thing, but actually making a move is another. Anzhu would never steal someone else's boyfriend, let alone her good friend's. Even if he stripped naked and became a "太" (a slang term for a man who is too naked), she would remain unmoved. Ye You would definitely look good naked... Thinking about this, she suddenly reminded herself, "What am I thinking, you lecherous devil?"
Come to think of it, it's actually quite normal. Can't you just look at the menu instead of eating?
After dinner, they split into two groups, each going their own way. Shi Lei said he was going back to their rented apartment with An Zhu to pack their things, but actually he was going back to make love. They were going to be apart for so long, so they wanted to make love as much as possible, because every time they did, it would be one less time for them.
Xian Jing got into the car, and Ye You didn't start the engine. He hugged her and kissed her, then let go.
"What...what are you doing?" Xian Jing couldn't stand the sudden, passionate kisses that made her feel almost suffocated with happiness.
"It's nothing," Ye You said with an air of righteous indignation. "I forgot to wipe my mouth while eating, so I'm just borrowing yours. I don't mean anything by it."
"Hehe." Xian Jing laughed. "Where are we going?"
"Let's go see your new home." Ye You drove off at breakneck speed.
Ye You stopped at the supermarket entrance, intending to buy some food to cook at home. A sweet-looking girl with curly hair greeted him, "Wright, long time no see. Why haven't you come to visit me lately?"
Upon seeing this, Ye You grabbed Xian Jing and tried to get into the car. It was too late; the curly-haired girl had already reached the front of the car first.
Xian Jing's expression changed as she looked at Ye You, waiting for him to speak.
Even pigs know they're connected, and their connection is anything but ordinary.
Piggy loves me~ I love piggy
I've fallen in love with ~piggy~ falling in love with me is the greatest happiness of my life.
(22)
Ye You felt a little embarrassed and quickly introduced Xian Jing, "This is..."
The sweet girl with curly hair eagerly said, "I'm Wright's girlfriend. My name is Mikey, you can also call me Qiqi."
Xianjing smiled and nodded. "You're so curious. My name is Xianjing, and I'm his cousin."
"Really? I've never heard Wright mention her before. Is she a distant cousin?" Xie Qiqi opened the car door casually. "Wright, can you give me a ride home?"
Ye You couldn't explain it; any attempt to explain would only make things worse. Looking at Xian Jing's calm expression, he was slightly disappointed. He had originally thought Xian Jing was going to be jealous.
Xian Jing sat in the back, Xie Qiqi sat in the front, and Ye You sat side by side, complementing each other perfectly.
As the car started moving, Xie Qiqi complained, "What's wrong with you lately? You don't answer my calls, and you're never home when I ask you to hang out."
Ye You didn't say anything.
Xian Jing remained silent as well. Everything was as expected. Young, handsome, single men always attract many admirers. Even though it was expected, a pang of sadness still rose in her heart. They were a good match, it seemed so.
Xie Qiqi, feeling rebuffed, fell silent. The atmosphere seemed to freeze. Ye You turned on the stereo and played "He Must Love You Very Much." Xie Qiqi hummed along to the beat, completely oblivious to the expressions on the other two's faces.
Ye You turned off the music, and the atmosphere became awkward again.
Twenty minutes later, Xie Qiqi got out of the car. She lived in Lily Garden near Ye You. Xian Jing knew Lily Garden; many celebrities lived there.
Before getting out of the car, Xie Qiqi kissed Ye You on the cheek. "I'll come visit you in a few days. We haven't gone to Bubble Dragon for drinks in a long time."
Ye You didn't have time to dodge, and a transparent, shiny hickey appeared on her left cheek.
Xian Jing saw it all, her face expressionless, but her mind was in turmoil, a complete uproar.
"She's my girlfriend of three years, I don't want to lie to you." Ye You said as she drove, "After I met you, I told her I wanted to break up, but she wouldn't agree. That's it. Believe it or not."
"What do you think?" Xianjing opened the car door and got out of the car as she stopped at a red light and walked forward.
Running a red light costs a 500 yuan fine, while losing Xianjing costs a lifetime of regret. Ye You chose the former, snapping two photos of the silver BMW, and 500 yuan was gone.
She walked alone on the road, and Ye You followed slowly. "Get in the car, can't you get in the car? Why are you being so willful?"
Xian Jing looked at Ye You as if she were a complete stranger, "Do I know you?"
Ye You felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a knife. She hurriedly got out of the car, picked up Xian Jing and threw her into the back of the car, then drove straight home.
This is home. Ye You's home. Some people live with three generations crammed into a small suite to eat, sleep, and use the toilet, while others, even just one person, occupy such a large space. Chairman Mao was right; except in the desert, people are divided into different classes.
Even when she's angry, Xianjing doesn't forget to say, "Your house is so beautiful."
The gardener was pruning the plants in the garden, and all sorts of strange and wonderful flowers were blooming in the sun. The water droplets on the petals were crystal clear. Xianjing loved flowers and all plants.
Ye You continued to explain, "I broke up with her, but she was very good to me, and I don't want to go too far."
This sentence brought Xianjing into reality: "You two are a good match, but I'm too old. Let's end it here."
"What did you say? You have no conscience." Tears welled up in Ye You's eyes.
"Let's end this here. This is the second time I've said it." Xian Jing turned her head. "Take me back."
"Dream on!" Ye You hugged Xian Jing tightly and wouldn't let go. "Anyway, I'm sticking with you now, so say whatever you want."
Xian Jing struggled, both amused and exasperated, "Can't you be reasonable?"
Ye You hoisted Xian Jing onto his shoulder and said, "There's a good place to reason things out. I'll take you there."
It was a soft bed, and the two people nestled in it felt like they were lying on clouds. Xian Jing pushed Ye You away, "Go find your Qi Qi."
Ye You laughed, "You're still angry after all. Let me make it up to you."
Xian Jing looked at herself, now naked, and Ye You, already naked, and closed her eyes. She waited for his burning skin to touch hers, for her burning desire to melt away her jealousy. Her body was like the wind, soaring freely.
Ye You admired every inch of Xian Jing's skin. She wasn't the youngest, nor the most voluptuous, but she was someone he wanted to possess for a lifetime, to have her every day and night, every second. He wanted her to be happy, to be crazy, to submit to him, to fall in love with him, to have her hair, her lips, and every part of her.
And so it proceeded. What was expected to be a violent storm was instead a slow, gentle intrusion. Xian Jing opened her eyes, looking at Ye You's face. What a face! So beautiful, it made one afraid to fall in love. Ye You, so careful, as if handling a glass doll, so tender, so pent-up tenderness, erupted in an instant. Xian Jing's heart followed suit, exploding with desire, leaving seeds scattered all over the bed.
Xianjing smiled shyly, "You can't do that again."
"How is it?" Ye You asked, holding Xian Jing.
"You can't reason with me in bed anymore." Xian Jing buried her face in Ye You's neck, breathing in the lingering scent of passion.
Having sex is the most effective way to keep someone's heart, but it's also the most useless way.
When night fell, Xian Jing woke up and nudged Ye You, saying, "I should go back and pack my things."
Ye You asked happily, "You agreed to move in?"
Xian Jing said, "So that you won't be snatched away by someone else."
(23)
Living together made Xianjing a little uneasy. Distance makes the heart grow fonder; the faster things start, the faster they end; the more brilliant the journey, the more regrettable the ending. The greater the joy, the greater the loneliness. She wasn't afraid of falling out of love, but of falling in love.
Xian Jing temporarily put aside her worries about unemployment and spent all her time with Ye You. They slept together until noon during the day and then until night. Apart from eating and going to the toilet, they spent their time chatting and making love in bed, as if the world would end tomorrow. Ye You was like a greedy child with a great appetite, eating a lot at every meal and enjoying every dish.
“Shi Tou is leaving tomorrow, let’s go see him off.” Xian Jing sat across the table watching Ye You eat, her eyes filled with pity, wondering what he would eat if she wasn’t by his side anymore.
"You mean we should go to bed early tonight?" Ye You put two chopsticks in her mouth, one in each, "Zombie Fang."
Xianjing was about to faint. "I'm talking to you about something serious. Don't try anything funny."
Ye You took the chopsticks out of her mouth, stuck the other end into her nose, and made a face with a smile, "Look, I'm a walrus."
Xianjing rubbed her dizzy head and said, "I really don't know how old you are."
"Don't be angry, I'm not playing anymore." Ye You put down her chopsticks, finished her meal, and helped clear the table.
This is a villa, where three people live: Xian Jing, Ye You, and Lao Luo, the gardener and housekeeper. Lao Luo is fifty-three years old and has been the housekeeper for the Ye family, managing the inheritance and insurance money left by Ye You's parents. Ye You doesn't manage the money; she only manages to spend it.
Old Luo lived in the room upstairs and treated Xian Jing's arrival coldly. He spoke less than seven words to her in a week. In his mind, Xian Jing was no different from other women; they were all there for money. The only difference was that she cooked very well. He had secretly swallowed his saliva while eating pizza in his room and had also sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat leftovers.
"Why don't you invite Lao Luo to eat with us?" Xian Jing asked Ye You habitually while eating. "I can just make more each time."
“I’ve already told you, you can only cook for me. He’ll buy his own food. He came back from abroad and isn’t used to Chinese food,” Ye You said.
