Chapter 78
The temperature gradually rose.
Xia Linxia was a little carried away, putting her full weight on her. In no time, the two had wrinkled the sheets. She pressed on Ji Fengxue's shoulders, bowing her head to lick and bite, murmuring, "What time did you set off?"
The vicinity was full of winding mountain roads, some so small that even GPS couldn't pinpoint them accurately. Moreover, it was at least a three-hour drive from the airport, and that was assuming good road conditions during the day.
It was now three in the morning; it was truly hard to imagine how she had managed to get here.
Ji Fengxue let her have her way, her lips growing redder and more moist. Hearing the question, she recalled how after telling Fang Xingyan "I miss my girlfriend" that morning, she had been kicked out by her own mother.
Fang Xingyan already found her presence in the hospital room every day to be an obstacle to her normal social interactions with other elderly people, so she directly told her to pack her things and get lost.
Ji Fengxue had no choice but to consult the doctor, who confirmed there were no major issues and that she could be discharged in two days. Then, after giving some instructions to the housekeeper, she just threw on some clothes from home and set off.
By the time she got off the plane, the sky was already dark. It was difficult to get a taxi here, and unlicensed cabs were even less safe, so she had no choice but to rent a car at the airport and drive herself. It was dark, snowing, and the roads were icy. Midway, she even had to find someone to help put chains on her tires before she could safely continue.
The journey took at least twice as long and was full of hassles, but none were major problems. All she could think about was seeing Xia Linxia soon.
Xia Linxia was like a blazing sun, capable of melting all this ice and cold.
The car stereo was connected via Bluetooth, playing Xia Linxia's songs on a loop, which made the journey quite interesting. Even with the passenger seat empty, she could imagine Xia Linxia sitting beside her, laughing and joking. If there was a chance in the future, they definitely had to go on a road trip together.
They also had to go on dates, take vacations, and do everything that couples do.
"Why aren't you talking?" Seeing her silence, Xia Linxia bit her in retaliation. "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Fengxue reined in her thoughts, the corners of her eyes curving slightly. She suddenly flipped over, switching their positions. Xia Linxia was pushed underneath, but she hooked her arms around her neck, tilted her head back, and leaned in for another kiss.
"I was thinking about what would be a good name for our child," Ji Fengxue said with a grin.
Xia Linxia: "..."
Xia Linxia: "Let's call them... Ji Goudan. A humble name makes for a hardy child."
Ji Fengxue chuckled softly, regained the initiative, and kissed her lingeringly. Soon, Xia Linxia was kissed until she was dizzy, her mind a complete muddle. Ji Fengxue's kisses traveled to her ears and neck.
From time to time, an ambiguous sound would escape. Xia Linxia bit her lower lip hard and embarrassedly turned her head to grab a pillow, but her hand was deftly pinned above her head.
"Why have you gone quiet again?" Ji Fengxue gave her a teasing, light kiss. "Didn't you say you like me?"
Xia Linxia panted heavily and said deliberately, "I don't like you anymore."
Ji Fengxue pretended to let go and was about to get up when Xia Linxia immediately wrapped her legs around her waist. "Trying to run? Believe it or not, I'll pin you down?"
"Pfft."
After another long kiss, Ji Fengxue suddenly got up and off the bed. Xia Linxia looked at her with hazy eyes. "Are you really not up to it?"
"..." Ji Fengxue picked up a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead and poked her on the forehead in annoyance. "Do you know the consequences of saying that?"
"What?" Xia Linxia asked.
"You think being in a relationship is just about kissing?"
Xia Linxia's eyes darted around. Seemingly realizing something, her pupils dilated slightly, and she suddenly rolled over. "No way, I'm not ready yet!"
Being the aggressive top is a field of study, you know.
She still needed to study up.
Ji Fengxue looked at her crimson ears and the marks on her neck. Her empty heart felt as if it had been filled with cotton, and she felt a little floaty as she walked. "I'm going to take a shower first. If you're sleepy, go to bed early."
"Ao."
As if she could fall asleep.
Xia Linxia burrowed into the blankets, her whole body radiating heat. She was surprised, excited, and couldn't wait to share her current mood with someone.
【Xia Linxia】: Qiu~ you there~
【Qiu Xingzhou】: Are you a human or a ghost? Can you speak like you're from the world of the living?
【Xia Linxia】: Okay, my good son, Lao Ji and I just kissed! Kissed!
【Qiu Xingzhou】: Are you asking to be put in the little black room?
【Xia Linxia】: Damn, you're into that kinky stuff? I'm taking notes.
【Qiu Xingzhou】: I meant the blacklist! I'll smack you with a ladle of crap.jpg
【Xia Linxia】: Do you know how long we kissed? Shy_dinosaur.jpg
[System Notification]: The other party has refused to accept your message.
"Tch, can't even take a small hit. How are you going to face the storms and setbacks of life?" Xia Linxia muttered disdainfully, glanced at the time, and remembered there was another night owl.
【Princess with a Pretty Face and Sweet Voice】: Bro, Bro! Are you still working overtime?
【Big Demon King is Doomed】: What is it?
【Princess with a Pretty Face and Sweet Voice】: Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that Lao Ji and I kissed. o(▽)q
【Big Demon King is Doomed】: What the hell does that have to do with me?
"Whoa, he's even swearing. And you say it has nothing to do with you." Xia Linxia held her phone and laughed silently. "An old, single dog. Truly tragic."
While Ji Fengxue was showering, she harassed everyone she could. Half of them announced they were cutting ties with her, the other half dragged her into the "little black room," and only Le Qingyi was still up, squealing with her and clamoring for more sweet gossip.
When Ji Fengxue came out of the shower, she saw the little mound on the bed occasionally letting out a few snickers. The laughter gradually became more terrifying: "Hehehehahahagagagagagagagakacha!"
Ji Fengxue: "..."
Ji Fengxue yanked open her blanket. Xia Linxia immediately clutched her phone to her stomach, flopped face-down onto the pillow, and stuck her butt in the air. "Why are you pulling my blanket?"
"What are you doing?"
Xia Linxia: "Taking a selfie."
"You think I'll believe that?"
Xia Linxia: "If you don't believe me, there will be no more kisses in the future."
"Please, continue." Ji Fengxue slowly put the blanket back, pretending she hadn't heard anything. Then she went to blow-dry her hair, and her phone suddenly vibrated twice.
She glanced sideways and saw that it was from Xia Linxia.
【Xiaxia】: I'm really not lying to you! I almost kissed her until she fainted. She's still in the shower right now, probably too shy to come out.
【Xia Linxia】: I told you I'm the great aggressive top. When have I, Xia Linxia, ever lied to anyone?
【Xia Linxia】: Holy crap!!!
[System Notification]: "Xiaxia" has retracted a message.
[System Notification]: "Xiaxia" has retracted a message.
[System Notification]: "Xiaxia" has retracted a message.
"Awooo." Xia Linxia wailed under the blanket. She had no idea how she'd sent it to the wrong chat. Now all she could do was pray that Ji Fengxue hadn't seen it yet. She futilely sent two rose emojis and felt slightly relieved when the other party didn't reply.
After Ji Fengxue got into bed, Xia Linxia had just scooted over to hug her when she heard Ji Fengxue ask, "I hear you want to be the aggressive top?"
"..." Xia Linxia laughed awkwardly twice, then lifted her chin to look at her. "Can't I? Anyone with a dream is amazing."
"Xia-zero-xia, amazing." The corners of Ji Fengxue's mouth curved up slightly. She lowered her head and kissed her forehead. "Let's sleep. Good night."
Xia Linxia didn't catch the hidden meaning and was also feeling a bit sleepy.
Logically speaking, they had just confirmed their relationship and should be in the throes of fiery passion. However, the two of them seemed to have grown accustomed to it all. After all, they had been sleeping in the same bed for nearly half a year, and it wasn't their first time kissing. They were both well aware of each other's feelings. Therefore, the confession she had been longing for didn't feel particularly earth-shattering. It just meant she could now embrace the other person more openly.
Perhaps other couples had romantic confessions or gifts, and she had fantasized about many such scenarios during this time. But when the moment truly came, just hearing the other person say "I like you" was enough to bring peace and contentment to her heart.
She smiled and yawned, "Good night."
The next morning, when Xia Linxia woke up, the spot beside her was empty again. If it weren't for the note left on the table, she would have thought last night was just a wet dream.
I'm heading to the set first. Remember to eat breakfast. —Ji.
She put the note away safely, washed up, and started on breakfast. After a couple of bites, she realized the bread had a wonderful texture, unlike anything she had eaten recently.
She was just about to send a message to ask when the doorbell rang.
"Coming." As soon as she opened the door, she saw a large bouquet of sunflowers.
She looked at Chen Nian standing at the door in surprise, her meaning unclear. "This is?"
"Ji Fengxue ordered them earlier. The mountain road was closed for the past few days and only opened yesterday, so they just arrived today. She told me to give them to you as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Xia Linxia immediately took them, her eyes glistening. "Sorry to trouble you, thank you. Oh, right, why is the breakfast suddenly so delicious today?"
Chen Nian glanced at the food packaging on her table and said, "That's from a place near her home. It's one of a kind. She probably bought a portion for you on her way back."
Xia Linxia: "!"
She carried the flowers to the table, rested her chin on her hands, and grinned, looking from the flowers to the bread and back again. Then she took out her phone and snapped several pictures.
For some reason, she took a picture of a single sunflower and then changed her WeChat profile picture to it.
Couple profile picture, get! √
Seeing it was about time, she reluctantly stroked the sunflowers. "Bye-bye, Mommy is going to film and earn money now. You be good at home, okay. Wait, no, no, Daddy is going out to work!"
She gathered her things and went downstairs. Xiang Huaimeng was waiting for her at the door. Just as the two were about to get in the car, something suddenly hit her on the head. She looked up and saw a drone hovering overhead, which had dropped a small box on the ground. She picked it up and saw a pair of beautiful and delicate stud earrings inside, which looked very similar to her bracelet charm.
"Whose is this?" Xiang Huaimeng asked curiously.
"I don't know." There was also a note in the box. She picked it up and saw it read—To Xia Linxia.
"It's for me!" Xia Linxia was delighted and immediately guessed who it was from. She looked up at the drone's camera. "Can you see me?"
The drone flew up and down once, as if nodding.
"Wait for me, I'm coming to find you right now."
After she got in the car, the drone circled in the sky and headed in another direction.
Xiang Huaimeng looked completely bewildered. She turned to Xia Linxia, who was grinning like an idiot. "What on earth is going on? I'm a little lost."
Xia Linxia was too busy grinning foolishly to bother answering her.
After arriving at the film set, as soon as the car stopped, Xia Linxia pulled open the door and ran out.
"Hey, slow down!" Xiang Huaimeng was worried sick. Seeing Chen Nian's car also pull up behind them, she started walking inside with her.
The two had just walked through the main gate when they saw Xia Linxia up ahead, running straight in one direction. Countless staff members couldn't help but watch her.
The next moment, Xia Linxia forcefully hugged Ji Fengxue, who was standing under the long corridor.
Xiang Huaimeng covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in Chen Nian's ear, "Don't you think they're being a little too lovey-dovey? Putting on a show this early in the morning, I really don't know whether to praise them or scold them."
Chen Nian: "Scold them."
"Holy shit!" Xiang Huaimeng's eyes suddenly widened as she watched Xia Linxia take the initiative to kiss Ji! Feng! Xue's! Lips!
"Has she been poisoned? Is she trying to make Teacher Ji die too?" Xiang Huaimeng's tone was faint, her eyes lifeless. She tugged on Chen Nian's sleeve. "Are all adults this wild these days?"
Chen Nian mercilessly pulled her sleeve back and poked her on the forehead. "Go ahead and guess. Let's see whose imagination is wilder, yours or their antics."
Xiang Huaimeng: "..."
The staff members felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts. Witnessing this scene so early in the morning, it was truly impossible to be a happy single person.
Le Qingyi couldn't stop grinning. She nudged the disgusted Zhao Tinglu beside her. "Quick, take a picture for me from your angle! I can't get a good shot from here!"
Zhao Tinglu: "Shameless!"
Le Qingyi: "Just be jealous. Sour and miserable, that's you."
"Ahem." Chen Lianjie suddenly coughed twice and teased, "It's only been a few days since you last saw each other, and you're already this drunk on love?"
Only then did Xia Linxia pull back a little. She looked up at Ji Fengxue. "I like everything. It's just that the box almost gave me a bump on the head."
Ji Fengxue said with a smile, "Is that so? I did it on purpose."
"Huh?"
Ji Fengxue lowered her head slightly, her deep eyes profound, the corners of her lips turning up. "Our first meeting, have you really forgotten?"
Xia Linxia was stunned for a few seconds. For some reason, her pupils contracted as she looked at her in shock. "You... you... you... you didn't deliberately deceive me emotionally just to get revenge, did you?!"
"Well, that's not out of the question," Ji Fengxue teased her.
"Scum woman!!!"
Onlookers: Oho. Teacher Ji is a scum woman.
