Qin Yang relaxed his expression because of her words, “and him too.” His wife was independent; he only learned about her big business dealings through letters afterward, but now there were times she relied on him.
“Alright, we agreed on just one drink.”
Lin Chuxia nodded like a pecking chick, receiving a glass of white liquor from Qin Yang as if it was a reward.
She took a deep sniff, “Smells so good.”
Li Wei laughed at her, “You don’t know, sister-in-law, if we’re talking about specialties from the Northwest, this sorghum liquor is second to none.”
“Seeing how lively you all are talking, I’ll try some too,” Sister-in-law Song also picked up an empty glass.
Bai Xiaoming was not pleased, “What chaos are you adding? With your little alcohol tolerance, do you still want to go home later?”
Sister-in-law Song, who was sitting next to Lin Chuxia, had overheard most of the conversation between Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang, finding the young couple interesting and quite envious.
She and Bai Xiaoming had been living apart since marriage, unfamiliar in the early years, even the times when they had their first child were courteous.
There really wasn’t a time for the young couple to be coquettish.
She immediately said, “If I can’t return home, I still have you, right?”
Bai Xiaoming, unsure what got into his wife, scanned her from top to bottom, “If you really drink too much, do you think I can carry you home?”
Bai Tian said loudly nearby, “It’s okay dad, if you can’t carry her, I’ll help you lift. Big brother can also help us lift, you carry mom’s head, big brother and I will carry one leg each. We should definitely be able to carry mom back.”
As the child finished, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Sister-in-law Song, who originally thought she was only slightly overweight: “…”
Well, even if this home isn’t returned to, it doesn’t matter.
The lively birthday and welcome party continued for over two hours, and it might have gone even later if not for considering the canteen staff on duty.
Everyone drank quite a bit, especially Zhang Dawei, whose speech was slurred, being supported back to the dorm by Li Wei and Wu Zhenfa on each side.
Zhang Dawei still refused to leave, waving his arms, “No, I haven’t had enough drinks with sister-in-law. It’s rare for sister-in-law to come, we must make her satisfied.”
Li Wei grabbed his hand, “Your sister-in-law is already very satisfied, let’s go, if we don’t leave now, there will definitely be dissatisfaction.”
This young couple finally reunited; the pleasures of spring are short, who would want to waste their time here.
This guy, when drunk, just kept rambling to Mrs. Qin, almost causing Mr. Qin to kill him with his glare, yet the fool was too drunk to notice.
Sister-in-law Song said to Lin Chuxia, “Mr. Qin knows where we live, it’s easy to find. When you have time, come visit, I am mostly idling at home.”
“Sure,” Lin Chuxia responded with a smile.
After everyone left, Lin Chuxia looked at Qin Yang, noticing his cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly having drunk a bit too much.
“Are you okay? Should I ask the canteen chef to make you a bowl of soup to sober up?”
Qin Yang shook his head, “No need, I didn’t drink much, just happy.”
Happy that she came to see him, to celebrate his birthday with him, to give him such a big surprise.
Also happy that she handled his colleagues so well, earning him plenty of face.
Although he didn’t mind much about it, seeing Wu Zhenfa constantly inquiring how to get more marriage leave days for him, and hearing Zhang Dawei several times mentioning finding a wife, envious that he had married well, his male pride was greatly satisfied.
Seeing him say so, Lin Chuxia didn’t linger any longer, the two greeted the canteen staff, then headed back.
The night wind was somewhat cold, Qin Yang held Lin Chuxia’s hand, trying his best to shield her from the wind with his body.
Lin Chuxia didn’t feel cold. It was somewhat late now, and the whole unit was quiet. Occasionally, there was the sound of the wind, but it wasn’t filled with as much dust as during the day.
Tonight, there was no moon, making the stars exceptionally bright.
Having experienced the smog pollution of future generations, such a starry sky was truly sigh-inducing.
Lin Chuxia was led by Qin Yang, walking along with her head tilted up, gazing at the myriad of stars, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Qin Yang, the sky here is really beautiful.”
There was no response for a long time. When she turned her head, she saw that the man was looking at her with deep, focused affection.
She looked into the distance, took a deep breath of fresh air, then turned her head and smiled playfully, asking, “What are you looking at?”
“Looking at you,” he replied almost instinctively.
“Am I beautiful?”
Qin Yang didn’t reply to her question but stretched out his hand, pulled her into his embrace, and without hesitation, leaned down and kissed her.
Beautiful, how could she not be beautiful? Her eyes were even more beautiful than the stars in the sky…
His Lin Chuxia, his woman, he used to think nothing of these words, but mentioning them today made his heart swell with emotion.
Lin Chuxia found herself confined in his embrace, initially impressed by the young man’s progress, but in the next second, the smile on her face disappeared.
This kiss with Qin Yang was neither gentle nor romantic. It started with him pressing tightly against her, and then it turned into a senseless nibble on her lips.
It was like, treating her as a bone he was gnawing on, just like their wedding night, immature, reckless, and disordered…
Lin Chuxia felt her lips burning hot, and if this continued, they might break the skin.
With a resigned sigh, she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, turning passivity into initiative, gently kissing him. In his stunned moment, she delved in, playfully flicking her tongue like a naughty fish…
Qin Yang was briefly stunned, but his eyes instantly turned passionate, like a student thirsty for knowledge, needing only a slight guide from his teacher to master the skills and transpose them.
The control was taken away; even the air in her chest seemed to be plundered.
Just as Lin Chuxia’s legs began to weaken, thinking to stop this dominating and aggressive kiss, a beam of light danced around their bodies…
“Who is there?”
Lin Chuxia took the opportunity to push the man away. Qin Yang, too, was momentarily panicked.
Without much thought, he grabbed Lin Chuxia’s hand and ran forward.
“Hey, who are you? Don’t run.”
The people behind them shouted louder, making the two of them run faster, almost running back to Qin Yang’s dorm in one breath.
Lin Chuxia hadn’t run like this in a long time, she bent over, gasping for air and laughed, “Qin Yang, isn’t that person from your unit? Why did we run, we’re not having an affair.”
Not hearing a response from the man, she cocked her head to look at him, and when she raised her head, she met his deep, somber eyes in the unlit room, appearing even more profound.
Her arm was captured, and her whole body lifted, her back against the door panel, with his hot chest in front of her, and the kiss that followed seemed to continue the unfinished feast from earlier.
Yet, it was completely different from before, no longer aggressive or forceful, but more gentle and lingering.
Bathed in the starlight filtering into the room, she could clearly see the expression in his eyes, gentle as water, seemingly gathering a galaxy, deeply captivating her.
Men are naturally kings in this realm, merely after a few turns, he became skilled like a veteran of love, making one feel comfortable yet also inexplicably agitated.
With a mischievous thought, Lin Chuxia hugged him tightly. Her slender fingertips traced around his lean waist and gently caressed up his spine…
The man trembled slightly as if electrified, the kissing grew more intense, and before long, clothes were scattered all over the floor, filling the room with the boundless aura of spring…
