She frowned slightly, looked at Qi Xiaoyan and said, "You little thief, are you trying to tempt me again? Let me tell you, I'm the kind of person who can't resist temptation." After she finished speaking, she grabbed Qi Xiaoyan's arm, pulled him down, and kissed his lips.
Qi Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then quickly took the initiative, pressing her down beneath him. They were too familiar with each other's bodies; it was almost instantaneous. Qi Xiaoyan kissed Yang Wei's neck passionately, tossing her coat to the ground: "Wife..."
Qi Xiaoyan's voice was always exceptionally sexy when he was moved, and just those two simple words dragged Yang Wei into a deep quagmire. She called him "husband" as he said it, and Qi Xiaoyan ran his long fingers through her hair, burying his face in her ear and whispering, "It's been a while since we've done it, so you might feel a little uncomfortable, but it'll be fine soon..."
"Mmm..." Yang Wei responded indistinctly, then felt a large dog licking all over her body. Her body temperature continued to rise, and Yang Wei's mind became increasingly muddled, leaving her completely in the hands of the person on top of her.
"Juanjuan, it hurts... be gentle..."
Qi Xiaoyan kissed the corner of her moist eyes, softening his grip: "Is that better?"
"Mmm..." Yang Wei opened her eyes and looked at him, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears. Qi Xiaoyan's gaze darkened further as he placed her hands above her head and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
The next day.
Birds chirped merrily outside the heavy curtains. Yang Wei mumbled a few words, rubbed her hair, and opened her eyes.
There was a man sleeping next to me, who looked very much like Qi Xiaoyan. Judging from the fact that his body was exposed outside the blanket, there was a 99% chance that he wasn't wearing any clothes.
Yang Wei subconsciously touched herself, and the sensation she felt was not fabric but her own skin. A sudden chill ran through her as the erotic scenes of last night flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. Yang Wei's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, letting out a silent scream.
Good heavens! Was she really that desperate to sleep with her ex-husband?!
After venting her anger, Yang Wei strained her eyes, searching the floor for her clothes. She carefully wrapped herself in the blanket and slowly moved to the side.
The hand on his waist tightened suddenly, pulling Yang Wei closer to him without room for argument: "Where are you going? You think you can just take advantage of me and leave?"
Qi Xiaoyan didn't open his eyes, but Yang Wei felt as if his gaze was piercing her like needles.
She stiffened her neck and said defiantly, "You're the one who took advantage of me, aren't you? I'm already being lenient by not asking you to take responsibility."
Qi Xiaoyan opened his eyes, his warm, dark eyes fixed on her without blinking: "I'm willing to take responsibility."
Yang Wei pursed her lips, looking at him without speaking. Qi Xiaoyan leaned closer to her cheek, his expression focused, and said, "Baby, let's remarry."
His tone carried a hint of pleading. Yang Wei's eyebrows twitched, and she pushed him away: "Qi Xiaoyan, you slept with me once a year ago and then married me. Now you want me to remarry you just because you slept with me once more?"
Qi Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then asked, "Would you be willing to give me a chance to pursue you again?"
"No!" Yang Wei wrapped herself in the blanket and jumped out of bed. Barefoot, she walked to the wardrobe, pulled out a few clothes, and took them into the bathroom. Qi Xiaoyan listened to the rushing water in the bathroom, staring at the ceiling and rubbing her hair.
Yang Wei stood in front of the mirror, looking at the red marks scattered across her body, her lips twitching involuntarily. How many times did they do it last night? Twice? Three times? Qi Xiaoyan is simply a beast!
The steaming water slightly relieved her aches and pains. Yang Wei rubbed her lower back, and the scene of pulling Qi Xiaoyan down and forcibly kissing him flashed before her eyes.
So, does this mean I transform when I drink alcohol?
No! How can you blame her! How could Qi Xiaoyan, as a man, not even have this much self-control!
While Yang Wei was taking a shower, Qi Xiaoyan also took a quick shower. When Yang Wei came out of the bedroom, there were already two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice, some bread slices, and two poached eggs on the table. On the golden-brown poached eggs, a smiley face was made with ham. Yang Wei glanced down at it, picked up an egg with her fork, and took a big bite out of it.
Qi Xiaoyan sat opposite her, took a sip of orange juice, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Yang Wei blushed slightly and ate the remaining half of the fried egg in one bite.
After finishing breakfast, Yang Wei didn't clear the table; she simply grabbed her bag from the sofa and left the apartment complex. Qi Xiaoyan followed her onto a bus and sat down next to her. Yang Wei frowned, turned to him, and asked, "Why are you following me?"
Qi Xiaoyan countered, "Did you contract this bus?"
Yang Wei glared at him and turned to look out the window. Two stops later, an elderly couple boarded through the front door. Qi Xiaoyan saw them and stood up. Yang Wei was still staring intently out the window when Qi Xiaoyan called out to her, "Yang Wei."
Yang Wei turned around impatiently and, seeing the elderly couple approaching, quickly stood up. The couple sat down in their original seats, smiling and thanking them. Yang Wei felt a little embarrassed and smiled back, saying, "You're welcome."
Qi Xiaoyan stood next to her. The old lady looked them over a few times and asked, "Are you a couple? You two are a perfect match."
Yang Wei said somewhat awkwardly, "No, I don't know him."
Qi Xiaoyan glanced at her but didn't say anything. The old lady, however, laughed heartily: "What's wrong? Did you have a fight?"
The old man next to her complained, "That old woman is meddling again. What do you know about the young people's business?"
The old woman looked at him defiantly: "How could I not understand? I've been young before. Look how well they match. It's such a pity they broke up."
The old man muttered to himself and shook his head, then looked up at Yang Wei and Qi Xiaoyan and said, "Don't pay any attention to her, she's just a busybody."
"I'm a busybody? Fine, then don't come asking me again when you can't find your fishing rod."
Yang Wei lowered her head and chuckled, "You two have such a good relationship."
The old lady said disdainfully, "Who would be on good terms with him? He's as stubborn as an ox, he likes to do things recklessly, he doesn't listen to advice, and he's not clean. Oh, and you haven't changed your socks for days?"
The old man's ears turned slightly red from her words, and he retorted, "Does being clean mean changing your socks three times a day like you? You think you'll listen to me if I don't listen to advice? Your whole family was against you marrying me, but you still insisted on eloping with me."
"Heh, you wish! If you hadn't knelt downstairs at my house for three days and three nights, do you think I would have married you so easily?"
Yang Wei smiled, pursing her lips. Qi Xiaoyan looked at them and said, "You two should be celebrating your golden wedding anniversary by now, right?"
The old lady winked at him: "Young man, you have sharp eyes. This year marks our fiftieth anniversary. Time flies. I've been married to him for fifty years."
The old man said gruffly, "Just speak, why are you winking?"
The old lady said, "I think he's handsome. If I were a few decades younger, I would definitely pursue him."
The old man snorted: "Do you think everyone is as blind as me and would fall for you?"
The old lady pinched him subtly, then looked up at Qi Xiaoyan and said, "Young man, don't blame me for being long-winded, but there are no couples in this world who don't argue. The key is to learn to understand and tolerate each other, so that the marriage can last. Look how pretty this girl is, if you don't tolerate her, who knows how many other people will want to tolerate her?"
Qi Xiaoyan nodded and said, "I understand."
Yang Wei grabbed the handrail and turned her head to the side. The car braked suddenly, and she fell into Qi Xiaoyan's arms. Qi Xiaoyan held onto the seat with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist: "Are you alright?"
"It's okay." Yang Wei quickly pulled her hand away from his and stood up, getting off at the next stop. She walked along the street for a long time, with Qi Xiaoyan following behind her. When she got tired, she turned into a dessert shop on the side of the street and ordered herself a cup of double-skin milk pudding.
Qi Xiaoyan followed her into the shop and sat down at the empty seat opposite her. Yang Wei silently ate the double-skin milk pudding in her cup, while Qi Xiaoyan waited for her in silence. After finishing the cup of double-skin milk pudding, Yang Wei picked up a rose-patterned napkin from the table, wiped her mouth, looked up at Qi Xiaoyan, and said, "Okay, I'll give you another chance to pursue me."
A faint smile suddenly bloomed on Qi Xiaoyan's face, like the first ray of warm sunshine in early spring after a gloomy winter sky.
Yang Wei curled her lips and added, "But you should also know that one of the possible outcomes of pursuing something is failure."
Qi Xiaoyan looked at her, as if making a vow: "I will keep pursuing her until I succeed."
Author's Note: Special thanks to: lestat (a little angel who threw a landmine!) and Xiaoyutang (a little angel who threw a landmine! Mwah!) Professor Qi is officially beginning his journey to win over his wife—
33
Professor Qi had never pursued a girl before, so Yang Wei kindly gave him a few pointers: "To pursue a girl, you should at least write love poems, send flowers, hold her hand, take her out to eat, go shopping, and watch movies. You should also compliment her on her beauty every day and take the initiative to ask about her well-being. I haven't thought of anything else yet, but I'll tell you when I do."
Qi Xiaoyan's lips twitched, her expression somewhat grave: "I'll try my best."
Seeing his expression inexplicably lifted Yang Wei's mood, so she ordered two more caramel puddings. She pushed one towards Qi Xiaoyan and asked, "Want some?"
"Hmm." Qi Xiaoyan picked up a spoon, scooped up a piece, and looked up at her. "By the way, my first love wasn't Song Jin."
Yang Wei looked at him, sipping her spoon, and raised an eyebrow: "Oh? So who was your first love?"
"you."
Qi Xiaoyan was eating pudding with his head down when he said this, so Yang Wei couldn't see his expression. She clicked her tongue and asked, "Aren't you her fan?"
"I have never admitted to this."
"But you were clearly browsing her homepage."
Qi Xiaoyan pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "I was just curious and searched for Mo Zhen. When I saw you come in, I just clicked on a link next to it."
"Usually, you would just close the browser in this situation, right?"
"So I need to explain to you that I've been focusing on the desktop the whole time?"
Yang Wei: "..."
She took a bite of pudding and looked at him teasingly: "You're interested in King Mo too? Are you captivated by his good looks?"
Qi Xiaoyan glanced at her and said, "You'd better tear down that poster in the bedroom."
Yang Wei, with pudding in her mouth, looked down and laughed.
As Yang Wei walked out of the dessert shop, she suddenly remembered something and asked Qi Xiaoyan beside her, "Yesterday, did you just carry me away from the barbecue restaurant?"
"Um."
Did you pay?
Qi Xiaoyan paused for a moment: "I didn't expect to come here."
Yang Wei: "..."
Will Sheng Lei sue her for fraud?
She took out her phone with some worry, and sure enough, there was an unread text message from Attorney Sheng: "The barbecue last night cost 237.5 yuan. If I don't receive payment by noon tomorrow, you will receive a court summons. ^_^"
Yang Wei: "..."
She glanced at Qi Xiaoyan beside her and said to him, "I'm having lunch with Sheng Lei, so I'll be going now."
Qi Xiaoyan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to take you?"
"No need, your car is still at the apartment, right? I'll just take a taxi." Yang Wei said as she ran to the intersection and hailed a taxi, not forgetting to tell Sheng Lei to meet her at Star Plaza at noon.
The two went to a Haidilao hot pot restaurant. After ordering, Sheng Lei looked at Yang Wei with a gossipy expression and asked, "What happened after Professor Qi took you away last night?"
"It's nothing."
"Nothing?" Sheng Lei stared at her disbelievingly, and Yang Wei shrank back uncomfortably. Sheng Lei looked at her for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "Yang Wei, what are those red spots on your neck!"
Yang Wei was a little embarrassed. She had specially chosen a collared shirt, but she didn't expect Sheng Lei to have such sharp eyes.
"You two were asleep?!"
Yang Wei practically wanted to disappear into the ground: "Could you please keep your voice down?"
"If you dare to do it, why are you afraid of what others will say?" Sheng Lei curled her lip. "It's truly immoral."
Yang Wei picked up the spoon from the plate, pointed at her, and said, "You're not allowed to tell anyone about this."
Sheng Lei looked at the spoon with disdain: "What if I insist on saying it?"
"Then you will lose me as a friend forever, along with the two hundred and thirty-seven and fifty dollars I owe you."
Sheng Lei: "..."
She let out a breath and asked, "So what are you planning to do now? Remarry?"
"Hmm...that's what he meant."
