This Damned Sweetness - Chapter 74

Xu Qiao had a dream of going to the sauna. In the dream, she was in the steamy sauna, feeling the skin pores relax a little bit under the steaming steam, dripping dripping sweat.

It’s been too long to enjoy such a refreshing and refreshing sensation. She has been reluctant to leave in the hot sauna, bathing in it radiantly, feeling the soul is light and beautiful, and she has become a freely swimming mermaid.

The mermaid couldn’t help opening his arms and compared to a stroke of water.

A muffled hum suddenly sounded, awakening this wonderful sauna dream.

Xu Qiao opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a few rays of morning light coming in through the gauze curtain.

She was still immersed in her sleep and was not awake. She vaguely felt that the back of her head was hard and panicked, and she moved her head uncomfortably.

A palm rubbed her head, and then a hoarse sentence came from the top of her head: “What dream did you have?”

Xu Qiao felt aroused, and then he remembered that there was Cheng Lang on the bed, and slowly turned his head, and saw a smooth and bare chest.

It seems that when she was paddling just now, she accidentally opened the skirt of his pajamas.

Since her mother passed away, she has never slept in the same bed with anyone. For more than ten years, she is used to rolling back and forth on a big bed that is too big to touch the corners. Her sleeping face has been very unscrupulous, and it is easy for her dreams to shine into reality and put the body movements in the dreams into practice.

Xu Qiao looked for the position of her hands and feet, and felt her legs wrapped around Cheng Lang, her arms that were as powerful as her throat, and the sticky sweat where her skin touched each other.

She swallowed embarrassedly, then slowly raised her head: “Dreaming about sauna…”

Cheng Lang looked at her eyes with a kind of exhaustion of “Are you steaming in the sauna? You are steaming me”.

Xu Qiao laughed awkwardly. In slow motion, he lifted one leg, moved it to one side, and gently lifted the other leg. As soon as the whole person rolled aside, Cheng Lang dragged him back and locked his hands and feet.

“The girl’s sleeping situation is so bad?” Cheng Lang put the person in his arms, frowning and looking down at her.

“You are kind enough to take you in, you still dislike me! You don’t know how the other girl’s sleep looks like, so you just give bad reviews, maybe I’m done this way!” Xu Qiao retorted with her chin.

Cheng Lang nodded thoughtfully: “According to what you mean, I have to compare and compare before giving feedback?”

“If your life is too long, go and chant!” Perhaps Cheng Lang had given Xu Qiao a sense of security a long time ago. Such remarks can no longer arouse her fluctuations.

Cheng Lang lowered his head and buried it in her shoulders, with a little bit of conceit, and laughed.

Xu Qiao poked his forehead with her index finger: “I’m still smiling, did you lose half your life this night?”

“The water is deep and hot, what do you think?” Cheng Lang raised his head and sighed.

“Then why don’t you wake me up? I told you when I got you sick!”

“The illness is a cold sweat.” Cheng Lang held her finger and let her feel it.

Xu Qiao touched his chest with her fingertips, felt hot, and reacted, moving her eyes flickering away, and let out a soft “Oh”.

Cheng Lang looked at her for a while, then bowed his head to kiss her.

Xu Qiao ducked her head and raised her knees to slap him: “My brother is still next door!”

“Little ancestor, you tossed me all night.”

“Go home and give you sugar to eat!”

“What sugar?”

He’s like a negotiation, he won’t let anyone go without a deal.

“Kiss as you please!” Xu Qiao said generously.

“It means you can kiss anywhere?”

“What does it mean to kiss anywhere?” She blinked, “Where else do you want to kiss?”

Cheng Lang laughed and nodded her lower lip: “Little sister, do you think men only love women here?”

Xu Qiao stared at him for a few seconds, and quickly covered her clothes.

As a result, I found out that the laces of my nightdress had been opened at some point.

She lowered her head, her eyes widened: “You won’t have kissed you already!”

Cheng Lang’s denial turned to her lips when she saw her frightened appearance, and he smiled and said, “I only found out now that it’s too late? I can’t sleep, I don’t know if I kiss him all the time.”

“You are nasty! You are in danger! You are silly!” Xu Qiao cried and pushed him away.

Cheng Lang was not defending, she was really pushed aside, seeing her run away and get out of bed.

He got up with a smile, and was about to explain to her, when he suddenly heard three knocks on the door.

Xu Qiao, who had just ran to the door, slammed the brakes, stopped at the cat’s waist, and pointed at the door to Cheng Lang: My brother?

Cheng Lang nodded: It should be.

Xu Qiao made a “hush” gesture and quickly pushed Cheng Lang into the bathroom.

Before Cheng Lang had time to speak, she was seen closing the door and leaving him with a warning look and a set of lips: shut up.

Xu Qiao hurriedly arranged her clothes and opened the bedroom door.

Xu Yu was wearing Cheng Lang’s shirt and trousers, and looked decent, but his face was a little bit cold.

“Get up so early,” Xu Qiao pretended to exercise early, doing chest expansion exercises, “seeking sister?”

“No.” Xu Li replied blankly.

“Oh, look for Cheng Lang, didn’t he sleep in the living room last night?” Xu Qiao stood on tiptoe and looked into the living room behind him. “It’s not there, it should be out.”

Xu Li’s mouth twitched: “He took the quilt out too?”

“…” I forgot this.

Xu Qiao couldn’t bear to look straight at the empty sofa, and soon heard the bathroom door open behind him.

Cheng Lang walked out.

She stomped her feet and glared at him: Why don’t you remind me?

Cheng Lang sighed: You told me to shut up.

After the silent communication was over, the two returned to their elders’ kind smiles, and looked at Xu Xun together.

I don’t know if it was a guilty conscience. Xu Qiao felt that this kid was speechless at the moment, as if he was watching a pair of shameless dog men and women.

“Have you considered?” Cheng Lang walked out of the bedroom, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for him to come with him.

Xu Qiao looked at the two pitifully: “You are whispering, can’t you tell me?”

Cheng Lang turned her head and gave her a “good” mouth shape: “You go take a bath first, and come out for breakfast later.” He said that he took Xu Yu into the opposite bedroom.

Xu Qiao sighed and turned to take a bath in the bathroom.

Because Cheng Lang didn’t know whether it was sickness or estrus, or sweat of both, Xu Qiao was sticky all over. So it took a long time for her to take a shower. When she dried her hair and changed her clothes, Xu Xun had already been on the table and was having breakfast.

There was a faint sound of water from the opposite bedroom, probably Cheng Lang was taking a shower.

She walked to the next door to Xu Xun, pulled out the chair and sat down, looking at him like a worried old mother and stopped talking.

Xu Xun glanced at her, pushed her breakfast over, and said silently: “I’m going to Nancheng.”

She was taken aback, just about to scold him for having to run so far from north to south, remembering Cheng Lang’s advice last night, and swallowing it back, “Oh,” she said, “As you please, consider going back to Beicheng for college entrance examination. Come.”

Xu Xu didn’t say a word.

The two siblings finished their breakfasts in silence, waiting for Cheng Lang to “preside over the overall situation” with big eyes and small eyes, but first waited for the door bell.

Xu Qiao was about to get up, but Xu Xun took the lead: “I’ll go.”

She didn’t think much about it, and sat down again, only to hear a familiar female voice outside the door: “Yin, you are finally willing to see your mother!”

Xu Qiao froze at the table.

If Yan Lizhen can find this place, Cheng Lang must have given the news. Xu Xun took the initiative to open the door when he knew about this.

From the perspective of the dining table, the door is invisible. Xu Qiao can only judge by her voice. Yan Lizhen cries with a heart-piercing voice: “Ying, mom knows it is wrong. Mom will return the money to your sister and dad, OK? Mom, shall we go back, huh?”

Xu Xun’s voice sounded very calm: “How do you spend the money, how do you spend it?”

“Mom will always have a way.”

“Your solution is to destroy other people’s families for money?”

Yan Lizhen’s silence caused Xu Qiao’s hand on the edge of the table to tremble slightly.

She didn’t know this, Cheng Lang didn’t tell her about it.

By the door of the hotel room, Yan Lizhen froze with her son’s shoulders: “Who told you?”

Xu Yu closed his eyes and said nothing.

“It’s not what you think…” Yan Lizhen shook her head, “Mom didn’t do it for money, it’s for you! Mom has to provide for you to go to school…”

“I will not stay in the United States to study.” Xu Li opened his eyes, “If you are for me, don’t do these things again, and live your own life.”

“Yin, what do you mean by that?”

“It means he will go with me.” Xu Qiao stood up and pulled Xu Xun back behind him.

“Qiao Qiao…” Yan Lizhen was taken aback, holding her hand, “Qiao Qiao, mother did not do the right thing. Mom gave you all the money. Don’t take it away, okay?”

“No need.” Xu Qiao took her hand away from her palm. “It’s your dad who didn’t manage this home well. The money should be compensated for you. You don’t have to pay it back, but keep a good life. As for the bitterness, he has grown up. Please respect his choice.”

Yan Lizhen stomped her high heels in a hurry and looked at the people behind Xu Qiao: “Xiang, my mother is only you now, and my mother’s soliciting of life is all for you. If you leave, how can your mother live?”

“Let him stay with you, how do you tell him to live?” Xu Qiao grabbed the conversation, “how do you tell him to accept his mother to be a junior in order to raise him?”

Yan Lizhen looked at the siblings with a pale face.

“I don’t question your motives, I know you love him very much, at least compared to me,” Xu Qiao nodded with a smile, “but you should think about what kind of life is for him at this stage. The best. If it is for his good, please let go and give him a chance to start again.”

After these words were said, the eyes of the three people who were deadlocked by the door were all red.

Yan Lizhen was stunned and silent for a while, and finally looked at Xu Yu: “Yu, are you really unwilling to stay with your mother?”

Xu Li closed his eyes and said, “Take care.”

“When I am willing to see you, I will contact you.” Xu Qiao made a “please” gesture, “Take care.”

Yan Lizhen took a small step back in despair.

Xu Qiao nodded to her and closed the door.

The siblings stood motionless outside the door, listening to the sound of high-heeled shoes outside the door drifting away, and no one spoke until Cheng Lang walked from the bedroom to the two of them, rubbing a head with one hand in relief.

Xu Qiao raised her head and suddenly understood why Cheng Lang took so long in this bath.

Only by saying goodbye completely can we move on.

He didn’t come to disturb the ending, just to let Xu Xun finish it by himself.

Cheng Lang patted the shoulders of the two of them: “Packed up, ready to go.”

Xu Qiao nodded.

Well, let’s go.
