Qin Shuang was also stunned: "Wasn't it you first?"
The two stared at each other, and at that moment, they suddenly realized that, from their different perspectives, even the timeline for their relationship was different!
Qin Shuang then told him about Xiao Shulang's drunken confession.
"I thought you had already..."
Was he mistaken? But Xiao Shulang's words were too sincere, and given his drunken state, anyone would think he was speaking the truth while drunk, rather than talking nonsense.
Although Xiao Shulang had no recollection of what he said that night, based on the timing and Qin Shuang's description, he could roughly guess what had happened.
Some people get together through perseverance, some through matchmaking, but these two actually got together because of a misunderstanding??
What an amazing marriage!
After Xiao Shulang sorted out the cause and effect, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, feeling both amused and exasperated. When it came to the topic of love, one of them was a blockhead and the other a coward. If either of them hadn't been quick to understand or had taken a step back, they probably wouldn't have ended up together at all.
But they became lovers without any trouble. Who can say that this wasn't a special kind of fate?
Xiao Shulang finished laughing helplessly, and then poured Qin Shuang a glass of wine.
"Let me tell you a story," Xiao Shulang said. "After you hear it, your doubts should be cleared up."
He wanted to tell his story so that Qin Shuang would understand his true origins.
"I am Xiao Shulang, but I am not the second young master of the Xiao family that everyone thinks I am... In fact, I came from another time."
Chapter 59 Follow me, and I'll give you candy
Xiao Shulang found Qin Shuang's expression quite interesting, so he raised his glass and clinked glasses with him one-sidedly: "I'm not joking, I'm not drunk, I'm serious."
"The reason I know you so well is because this world was originally a novel to me."
Xiao Shulang explained in detail, stating the book's title and that Qin Shuang was the main character. To avoid Qin Shuang disbelieving him, he also mentioned some things that only Qin Shuang herself knew, and that no one else knew.
For example, some psychological activities.
In modern society, everyone values privacy. Even close friends or life partners need some private space. When someone's thoughts are known to the other person, they will generally feel uncomfortable.
And it wasn't just one person who knew...
But being separated by the world, Qin Shuang couldn't go over and tell people not to watch; there was really nothing he could do about it.
Time travel is a familiar concept to everyone when reading books or watching TV, and it doesn't seem strange when joked about, but when it becomes real, it still feels quite outrageous.
But Qin Shuang is Qin Shuang after all; after a brief silence, she quickly processed the reality.
He not only accepted that Xiao Shulang was a time traveler, but also accepted the fact that he had even less privacy in another world than his celebrity status.
Qin Shuang was more interested in knowing about Xiao Shulang's own affairs: "And you?"
“Me? I come from a rather complicated family. I was sent to an orphanage when I was very young and grew up there.” Xiao Shulang’s tone was casual, as if he wasn’t talking about something related to himself. “Then I went to school, graduated, went to work, and lived a plain but not bad life.”
Earning money, spending money, going to work, and finding some fun for yourself after get off work—this is the kind of life most people experience on the streets.
Xiao Shulang took his childhood lightly, feeling that he hadn't suffered much. Compared to some heartbroken people who were having a hard time, he looked down at himself and genuinely felt that his life was pretty good.
No matter what world he's in, he's someone who will strive for himself. His parents and relatives let him down, so Xiao Shulang will never let himself down.
Coming into this world was not his wish, but since he has come, he will live out his own life.
Qin Shuang replied, "No wonder."
Xiao Shulang: "Hmm?"
"Your personality."
Qin Shuang had previously felt that running away from someone he liked didn't seem like the kind of personality that could be cultivated by someone who grew up in a sweet, pampered environment. This made him wonder if there was something unspeakable about the Xiao family's relationships that they didn't want outsiders to know.
But if this is how Xiao Shulang grew up, then it makes sense.
"You're very perceptive." Xiao Shulang sighed, then rested his chin on his hand and looked at him. "I'm from another world, you won't see me as an alien, will you?"
Although Xiao Shulang knew Qin Shuang well enough in other matters, he was still uneasy when faced with such an unbelievable situation. He was willing to be honest and kept a straight face, but in reality, he was still very nervous.
He told Qin Shuang before telling the Xiao family, which was also a matter of consideration.
"No." Qin Shuang replied without hesitation. "I like you, and that's enough."
He didn't know the original second young master of the Xiao family; he had always liked the person in front of him. That was enough for him.
Xiao Shulang felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, and he was finally able to tease her: "At first, I admired you, the kind of liking a reader has for a protagonist, without any romantic feelings mixed in. Were you disappointed?"
Qin Shuang shook her head.
The light inside the room mingled with the glow of countless lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Qin Shuang's eyes were especially tender in the lamplight. He took Xiao Shulang's hand and kissed it on the lips.
"It would be my honor if you liked me first; it would be my luck if I liked you first."
Regardless of how it started, whether it was a misunderstanding or something else, Qin Shuang was very glad that she hadn't missed Xiao Shulang. This was someone she was determined to get her hands on and never let go of, not for the rest of her life.
The fingers are connected to the heart. With just a simple touch, Xiao Shulang's heart softened, and his ears turned red. He thought all sorts of things, thankfully they had already finished eating and wiped their mouths, otherwise they would have ended up with oily hands from kissing.
When his mental defenses were suddenly broken, dodging was instinctive. Xiao Shulang tried to pull his hand back, stammering, "Speak properly, don't touch me."
Qin Shuang didn't let go: "Don't dodge."
He discovered that Xiao Shulang, after mentally preparing himself, was quite bold, as evidenced by their kiss in the car, but he still couldn't resist sudden provocations.
These are all scars left on him by his upbringing; they no longer hurt, but they still cause trouble.
With him, Xiao Shulang had nothing to fear.
Qin Shuang spun her fingers between Xiao Shulang's five fingers: "From now on, I'll hold your hand and give you candy if you're with me."
We couldn't participate in the past, but we can write the future with love.
If it weren't for the table separating them and their hands being restricted, Xiao Shulang would have wanted to shut this person up: "Don't say anything more, what else is there to say, 'with you'—"
Qin Shuang readily agreed and changed her mind: "I'll go with you too."
Xiao Shulang: "..."
He suddenly realized that Qin Shuang's taciturn nature made sense; after all, his words were incredibly powerful. If they were both strong and plentiful, he would immediately find a crack to bury himself in, as he couldn't withstand them at all.
"Nothing tomorrow morning." Qin Shuang clasped his hands together, her deep voice reaching Xiao Shulang's ears, "Can I touch you?"
Xiao Shulang stared at Qin Shuang's face. This person's burning love was written all over his eyes. He said things like, "My eyes can speak, I can kill by looking into your eyes..."
But it works quite well.
With such a handsome man before him, Xiao Shulang wasn't exactly a celibate person when it came to his boyfriend. He swallowed hard and said, "Unless we go all the way."
They didn't rehearse in the morning, but they have to in the afternoon. The whole thing will definitely affect their work.
Qin Shuang suddenly pulled him up, gave him a hard kiss on the lips, and asked Xiao Shulang with a hungry look in her bright eyes, "Want some dessert after dinner?"
Xiao Shulang shook his head: It's sweet enough, Qin Shuang is making him sick of it.
There was a knock on the door to the private room. When it opened, the waiter smiled and said, "Dessert after dinner—"
The two guests whizzed past like a gust of wind: "Check, please!"
The waiter swallowed back his words of introduction, and blinked blankly as he held the tray: He thought the two of them were going to leisurely enjoy the night view in the restaurant, after all, they had booked such a good private room, what happened that made them so anxious?
The two rushed back to the hotel. Without even saying whose room they were going to, whoever pulled out their room key first went in. The door was slammed shut. After they entered, they hugged each other and ended up falling onto the bed.
Both of them were breathing unsteadily, and the buttons on Xiao Shulang's shirt were already undone. It was hard to say whether touching or being touched was more intoxicating.
Their lips were rubbed together until they were bright red. The color was nice; I don't know if it's the kind of color that attracts men, but it's definitely enough to win someone's heart.
Xiao Shulang's long, slender eyelashes trembled: "Go, go to the bathroom... um!"
He was so soft from being kneaded by Qin Shuang's hot hands that he was carried horizontally into the bathroom. As soon as the door closed, the rainwater splashed on the floor, the sound of water mixed with his panting, all of which was steamed up in the small space.
This bath took an unusually long time.
Even though he didn't finish, Xiao Shulang still felt a little lightheaded when it was over. The lingering feelings in his mind were too wonderful, and seeing his beloved through the mist added a touch of haziness and an unreal beauty.
So they couldn't resist sticking it on for quite a while.
While it's inconvenient to stamp places like the neck and arms, there are always other places where they can get their stamps. In any case, they really love stamping each other's stamps.
They went into Qin Shuang's room again. Qin Shuang brought Xiao Shulang a clean bathrobe and a hairdryer, and asked Xiao Shulang to sit down.
Xiao Shulang didn't stand on ceremony and sat in his lap, enjoying the service of the great movie star Qin.
Qin Shuang's fingers are long and slender, and her nails are neatly trimmed and rounded. Whether doing other things or touching his hair, it is very comfortable.
Qin Shuang's hands were full of black hair, which she was drying with a hairdryer. She leaned close to the man's ear so he could hear her clearly: "Are we sleeping together again tonight?"
Xiao Shulang felt quite comfortable from the breeze, and nodded contentedly with his eyes half-closed: "One quilt will do."
Now we can snuggle into a blanket together.
After tidying up, the two leaned against the headboard, left the bedside lamp on, and their feet were close together under the covers, occasionally touching.
Qin Shuang thought that Xiao Shulang had even told her about his time travel, and even if he still dodged the question occasionally, it meant that he trusted her completely. As for the rest, he could help Xiao Shulang get used to it slowly.
"Are you also planning to tell the Xiao family?"
Xiao Shulang: "Yes, they should know."
Qin Shuang: "I'll stay with you."
“I’ll go to the Xiao family’s old house and tell them what happened.” Xiao Shulang touched Qin Shuang’s toes. “You wait for me outside. Once I tell them, I’ll be an outsider to them. If you show up with me, it’ll be too upsetting for two outsiders to talk about their son’s death in front of them. I definitely shouldn’t stay that day. I’ll come find you after I’m done, and we can go together.”
Qin Shuang nodded. If the Xiao family did not accept Xiao Shulang, he would take Xiao Shulang away. Xiao Shulang had helped the Xiao family a lot since he transmigrated, and he did not owe them anything.
However, this is indeed a huge blow to the Xiao family. Whether they are willing to associate with Xiao Shulang in the future or not is understandable.
Qin Shuang also remembered something else: Xiao Shulang transmigrated after the original owner of this body died, so...
Qin Shuang: "Am I your first love?"
Xiao Shulang: "Of course."
He leaned over and hooked his arm around Qin Shuang's neck, rubbing his leg against hers: "You know what kind of person I am. It's not easy for me to fall in love, Teacher Qin. If a coward gets his hands on something precious, he'll hold on even tighter and won't let go."
"Don't let go." Qin Shuang pressed her forehead against his. "Never let go for the rest of your life."
The night is gentle, and people are even more tender, especially those with kind hearts.
Some people sleep side by side, while others struggle to sleep alone.
