Seeing his expression, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to say helplessly, "Fine, I'll take you back!"
Jiang Sicheng refused and insisted on taking her home. Xiao Xiao thought to herself, "I'm driving, and you've been drinking. Oh, so you're saying I'm taking you home by dropping you off at my place? And then what? How are you going to get home by yourself? How can I leave you alone and make you walk to the side of the road to hail a taxi?"
"Never mind, I'll take you home. I'm driving, so there's nothing wrong with me."
“No,” Jiang Sicheng refused, his attitude firm, “I’ll take you back!”
Xiao Xiao squinted at Jiang Sicheng, as if she suddenly thought of something, and smiled, no longer insisting, "Okay, you take me!" she said.
When the car arrived at Xiao Xiao's building, Jiang Sicheng had sobered up quite a bit. He got out of the car and stood there looking at Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao took a few steps inside and, seeing that Jiang Sicheng was still standing there, turned around and smiled at him. "Why don't you take me upstairs? Sit for a while before you go. It's not late anyway."
Jiang Sicheng blushed again, as if he hesitated for a moment, before stepping forward and taking Xiao Xiao's hand.
His palms were burning hot. Xiao Xiao chuckled softly and remained silent, letting him lead her upstairs.
The door closed behind them. It was unclear who kissed whom first. Both were adults, and both were slightly intoxicated. Their touch was like sparks flying. When the kiss reached its climax, Xiao Xiao whispered, "Carry me inside."
Jiang Sicheng's mind was in such a chaotic state that it had lost its rhythm; not only his body, but even his brain was under his control.
The bed was soft, and the two of them fell onto it, causing it to tremble slightly.
Xiao Xiao's shirt had slipped down to her waist, revealing her snow-white skin. His lips moved awkwardly downwards, igniting more flames. Perhaps because of the long period of abstinence, Xiao Xiao felt a strange urgency and desire, reaching out to touch his waist and struggling with his belt.
Jiang Sicheng's body jolted, as if he had regained consciousness for a moment. He hurriedly grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and whispered in a hoarse voice, "No—I won't be able to control myself..."
Xiao Xiao
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, then grabbed Jiang Sicheng's already disheveled clothes, pulled him down, tilted her head back and kissed him, her hands deftly slipping inside his clothes.
His waist was thin but strong and powerful, with taut muscles. His fingers slid across his smooth skin, causing a slight tremor along the way.
She smiled faintly, a sliver of clarity remaining in her mind. She watched him furrow his brow, his Adam's apple bobbing, struggling on the edge of desire, his forehead covered in sweat. Just a little more, and he would lose himself in the passion she had created. She lifted her leg, intentionally or unintentionally rubbing his sensitive hardness with the inside of her thigh.
A painful groan escaped Jiang Sicheng's throat. He suddenly grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand, pulled her to his side, and held her tightly in his arms. "Don't move...please," he said in a trembling voice, "just hold me like this for a while, just for a little while..."
Yes, he loves her, so he should respect her even more. He also knows that it's perfectly acceptable to make love with someone you love, but he doesn't want to do that. She deserves his better care and protection.
He buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, desperately suppressing his desire, afraid to move, waiting for the passion to subside.
She looked behind him; light from the window filtered through the thin curtains, making it hard to tell if it was moonlight or lamplight. The heat in the room gradually subsided, but her heart began to race. The temperature in his arms, though much lower than before, was still so hot that she dared not touch it.
After a long while, Jiang Sicheng finally let out a long sigh of relief, released Xiao Xiao, and looked up to see her thoughtful gaze. He smiled awkwardly, and a faint blush crept onto his face.
Xiao Xiao smiled, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came back, she was wearing a short silk nightgown.
Seeing that she hadn't said anything, Jiang Sicheng felt a little flustered, thinking that his impulsiveness earlier had angered her.
"Xiao Xiao, I—"
Xiao Xiao smiled, stopping him from saying anything more, and lay down beside him. "I'm going to sleep. What will you do?"
Jiang Sicheng chuckled sheepishly, reached out and covered Xiao Xiao with the blanket, then wrapped it tightly around her as if afraid it wasn't secure enough, before lying down close behind her, pulling her into his arms, and whispering, "Go to sleep, I'll leave after you're asleep."
Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, then said, "If you don't want to sleep here, you can sleep next door."
Jiang Sicheng gave a soft "hmm" and said, "You go to sleep, don't worry about me, I'll go back in a bit."
Xiao Xiao didn't speak, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
After a long while, Jiang Sicheng whispered from behind, "Xiao Xiao, when you have time, go and see my father, okay?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Xiao Xiao, Jiang Sicheng gently looked up. In the darkness of the night, Xiao Xiao's thick eyelashes quietly covered her lower eyelids, obscuring everything.
She slept soundly! He gave a wry smile.
"Fairy," he whispered, placing a gentle kiss on Xiao Xiao's lips, "Will you marry me?" he asked, then chuckled softly, "You still dare to mess with me? One day I'll show you what I'm capable of! Silly girl!"
Jiang Sicheng got up quietly, and before leaving the room, he looked back at Xiao Xiao. She was still fast asleep, her slender body still in the same position as before she fell asleep, without moving at all. He smiled and thought to himself that she was a very quiet sleeper.
The door closed gently, the lock clicking softly, a sound that was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, striking straight into one's heart.
It was only six or seven in the morning when the phone by the bedside started ringing loudly. Xiao Xiao cursed under her breath and reached out to touch the source of the sound.
Zhang Jingzhi's voice came through: "Haha, beautiful! Time to wake up your little police officer!"
"Zhang Jingzhi! You pervert!" Xiao Xiao roared. She hadn't slept all night and had finally fallen asleep when she was woken up by Zhang Jingzhi.
Zhang Jingzhi was somewhat surprised by Xiao Xiao's anger. After a moment of surprise, she suddenly asked, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao was also taken aback. Yes, what was wrong with her? Where did she get so angry? Was it just because Jingzhi woke her up early?
Zhang Jingzhi seemed to have already found her answer over there. She chuckled twice and asked with ill intent, "I know, is it because your junior police officer is unqualified?"
Zhang Jingzhi chuckled smugly, but after a long while, she still hadn't heard Xiao Xiao's retort. She found it strange; usually, Xiao Xiao would have already started talking by this time. What was wrong with her today?
"The officer isn't here?"
"..."
"Xiao Xiao?" Zhang Jingzhi asked with some concern.
Xiao Xiao then came to her senses and said calmly, "He's not here. I'm going to fire him!"
"Huh?" Zhang Jingzhi felt something was wrong. He was fired after just one "good night"? Could it be that he really was "incompetent" in some way? But she also had a vague feeling that Xiao Xiao's emotions were off.
"Hmm! It's getting boring, let's change it." Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
Zhang Jingzhi paused for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"What could possibly happen to me? I need to sleep, even if you don't! Bye!"
Zhang Jingzhi stared blankly at the phone in her hand for a moment. Xiao Xiao said nothing was wrong, so something must have happened!
Xiao Xiao hung up the phone, but she was still worried that Zhang Jingzhi might call again out of boredom. So she simply unplugged the phone and turned off her cell phone. Anyway, it was the weekend, so no one else should be looking for her!
But she underestimated Zhang Jingzhi. Before she could fall asleep after lying down, there was a loud banging on the door. She grabbed the alarm clock and saw that it wasn't even eight o'clock yet!
Zhang Jingzhi brought in two cups of soy milk. Seeing that Xiao Xiao was just looking at her with her arms crossed and didn't seem to be closing the door, she chuckled, nimbly lifted her leg, and hooked the door shut with her toe. Only then did she put the soy milk and breakfast on the dining table. She turned around to look at Xiao Xiao, clicked her tongue twice, and said, "Look at you, your eyes are all dark. Didn't sleep all night?"
"Knowing I didn't sleep all night, why did you come to my house so early?"
"It's for your own good! We've slept together for four years, don't I know you?" Zhang Jingzhi sneered. "So, tell me, what's wrong, little officer?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at Zhang Jingzhi, said nothing, and went straight to rummage through her phone in her bag.
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing?" Zhang Jingzhi was completely confused.
Xiao Xiao flipped through the phone book for a long time but couldn't find Wang Yuhan's number. "What's Wang Yuhan's number?" she asked.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Jingzhi asked warily.
"What's up? Speak quickly! Stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing Xiao Xiao's serious expression, Zhang Jingzhi genuinely thought something was wrong and immediately gave her Wang Yuhan's number without thinking.
Xiao Xiao dialed the number, and Wang Yuhan answered in a low voice, "Hello—", looking like he was still half asleep.
“Wang Yuhan?” Xiao Xiao asked.
"Hmm." Upon hearing that it wasn't Zhang Jingzhi's voice, Wang Yuhan was also a little puzzled. "Who are you?"
"I'm Xiao Xiao. Your Zhang Jingzhi is acting crazy here. Please take her away immediately! Otherwise, I'll send her to an animal shelter!"
"Xiao Xiao! You gossip!" Zhang Jingzhi shouted angrily, stepping forward to snatch the phone from Xiao Xiao's hand. Xiao Xiao lay back on the sofa laughing, watching Zhang Jingzhi nervously take the phone.
"Zhang Jingzhi, please keep an eye on your friend. Don't let your jokes involve others, and especially don't disturb their rest," Wang Yuhan said coldly. "Are you that free?"
He hung up the phone before Zhang Jingzhi could react.
Xiao Xiao noticed that Zhang Jingzhi's expression was off, so she came closer and asked, "What's wrong, Jingzhi?"
Zhang Jingzhi then realized what had happened, gave Xiao Xiao a silly grin, and said, "It's nothing, I just got bitten by a dog!"
Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
Zhang Jingzhi pushed Xiao Xiao towards the bathroom: "Hurry up and get ready. We finally have nothing to do on the weekend, let's go shopping!"
Xiao Xiao snapped her fingers at Zhang Jingzhi, "Shopping is no problem, but let me see your wallet. Do you have any money with you? I'm not going to spend money on you, you know!"
The streets were crowded on the weekend, and cars were constantly stopping and starting. The car in front of them kept blocking Xiao Xiao and her friends' car. Zhang Jingzhi got annoyed and kept shouting, "Pass it! Pass it!"
"Overtaking?" Xiao Xiao pointed to the rear of the car in front and showed it to Zhang Jingzhi. "Look at what she wrote!"
Zhang Jingzhi chuckled at the sight; the car in front of her had several large characters plastered on its rear: "You're treating me like a red light!"
The two smiled, and Zhang Jingzhi suddenly asked, "What's going on, officer?"
Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment. Seeing that the traffic was already jammed anyway, she lit a cigarette. She had just taken a puff when Zhang Jingzhi snatched it away. Xiao Xiao smiled at Zhang Jingzhi and asked, "What do you think men and women get out of being together?"
What's the point?
"Hmph! Even robbery is divided into robbery for money and robbery for sex! What about men and women together?"
Zhang Jingzhi suddenly felt that this question was a bit difficult to answer. It seemed very simple, but after thinking about it, she didn't know how to say it.
Xiao Xiao scoffed, "Either you're after money or sex, or you're after love, don't you think?"
Zhang Jingzhi nodded.
"All I have to offer him is my body, but he refuses it. What should I do?"
"But he treats you very well!"
"It's because he's so good to me, Jingzhi. Let's not mince words. Do you believe someone can be unconditionally good to another person? I don't! No matter how noble their words may be, they always have something in mind!"
“Xiao Xiao—” Zhang Jingzhi wanted to refute Xiao Xiao’s words, but she didn’t know what to say.
"He wants affection and love, but I don't have any of that!"
The car in front finally moved, and Xiao Xiao's car followed suit and moved forward.
Zhang Jingzhi thought for a moment, "Xiao Xiao, your logic is flawed. You'll regret missing out on someone who loves you so much! And you don't need to lie to yourself, can you honestly say you're not even a little bit attracted to him?"
"Of course I was attracted, otherwise why would I want to trick him into bed? Yes, he's a good man, but he's not right for me. I guess his attraction to me is mostly infatuation. He's just a young boy! It's normal to be attracted for a moment. He'll mature," Xiao Xiao said, smiling at Zhang Jingzhi. "Don't try to lecture me. First, clear your name before you speak!"
Zhang Jingzhi remained silent, staring blankly outside.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Xiao suddenly called out to Zhang Jingzhi, "Jingzhi, look! Chu Yang!"
