Chapter 107 - 106: If You’re Sleepy, Let’s Get a Room

Chapter 107: Chapter 106: If You’re Sleepy, Let’s Get a Room

"How long has it been since we’ve just relaxed by the river like this?" Lin Yanwan tilted her head back and stretched her arms, as if to embrace the starry sky.

"It has been a long time." Jiang Xia put one hand in his pocket, a somewhat dazed look on his face.

Ever since the two of them had started fighting, even the time they spent shopping together had dwindled.

Lin Yanwan put her hands behind her back and spun around on the spot, her lace skirt swirling in an arc.

She suddenly linked her arm with Jiang Xia’s and blinked playfully. "Since we’ve handed in our homework, why don’t we have some fun before heading back?"

"You’re the boss. We can stay out all night if you want. If you get sleepy, we can get a room," Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"In your dreams."

Lin Yanwan huffed. "Staying out all night is absolutely forbidden in my family. If you want my dad to go checking every single hotel, go ahead and try. He’ll break your legs!"

"Why don’t we... give it a try? I’ll sacrifice both my legs!" he said, a grin spreading across his face.

Lin Yanwan stared at him, speechless. "Try my ass! Why don’t you suggest we go to my place instead?"

"Hmm... going to your place works too. We can sneak back in after our parents are asleep. The only problem is we might get caught when we take a shower," Jiang Xia said, stroking his chin with a meaningful smile.

"Pah! The nerve of you!" Hearing his lewd jokes, Lin Yanwan’s face turned crimson. Under the dim yellow streetlights, her face was beautiful beyond compare.

"You were the one who suggested it..." Jiang Xia looked particularly wronged.

"I... I’m gonna bite you!"

Flustered and annoyed, Lin Yanwan grabbed his hand and bit down hard. ’Does this guy just love to spout nonsense after having a little to drink?’

"Ahh— Wifey, be gentle! Ow, ow, ow!"

"Serves you right!"

Looking at the two rows of exceptionally clear teeth marks on the back of his hand, Lin Yanwan’s mood suddenly brightened.

Jiang Xia wore a wronged expression. He looked at the saliva still glistening on the back of his hand, then, right in front of her, he pouted, leaned in, and forcefully kissed the bite marks.

Lin Yanwan was dumbfounded. ’He can do that?’

"Didn’t see that coming, did you? It’s called an indirect exchange of bodily fluids," he said smugly.

"You’re dead!"

Lin Yanwan feigned anger, her face blushing as she pinched the flesh at his waist. ’An indirect kiss is an indirect kiss. What’s all this about exchanging bodily fluids? Anyone who didn’t know better would wonder what the two of them were up to.’

"It seems... I didn’t get enough of a kiss." Jiang Xia licked his lips, his gaze fixed on his girl’s bright red lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing conspicuously.

Lin Yanwan’s heart skipped a beat. She instinctively took a step back, then turned and ran.

"Darling, are you running straight into my heart~" Jiang Xia roared with laughter behind her and gave chase.

"Don’t you..."

"Slow down, you’re too fast."

"Hahahaha, help, nooo—"

"Mmph..."

Beneath the gentle moonlight, the river’s surface shimmered. Jiang Xia pressed her against the railing from behind, their two silhouettes slowly merging into one.

A long while later, Lin Yanwan, breathing heavily, pushed him away. She raised the back of her hand to wipe her slightly swollen lips, then shot him a fierce glare.

"You just love to ’eat’ so much, don’t you? Here, open your mouth, I’ll spit in it for you."

"Really?!" Jiang Xia was ecstatic.

"Pah! Get lost! Disgusting! Pervert!"

"What did you say?"

"I said you’re a pervert!"

"Say it again, darling. I want to hear it."

"???"

Lin Yanwan took a deep breath, not wanting to deal with him anymore. ’He’s so shameless for his age. What did I ever see in a guy like him?’

Jiang Xia chuckled and followed her, secretly trying to take her hand, but she shook him off.

"What’s wrong? Are you angry?"

"Hmph, get away from me. You’re not worth my anger."

"Then hit me."

"Like hell I will. Hitting you would just be a pain in the ass."

"A pain in the ass, you say? Deal!"

Jiang Xia eagerly scurried in front of her, dutifully stuck his butt out, and gave it a little wiggle.

"Get away!"

Lin Yanwan couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"Hurry up and hit it~" Jiang Xia continued to wiggle.

Seeing him clinging to her like glue, Lin Yanwan finally just took off her shoe and kicked him in the butt.

"...You damned hooligan, I’ll kick you!"

By the roadside, a taxi suddenly stopped, then began to slowly follow them from behind.

Watching the two of them fool around all the way down the street, Jiang Wende couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. ’That kid... he might have some special kinks.’

He couldn’t watch any longer. He felt like a stalker. How did he end up running into them everywhere he went?

He slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the taxi sped away.

Jiang Xia subconsciously turned his head. Under the streetlights, he saw a somewhat familiar license plate, and his body instantly froze.

"Was that Dad?"

Lin Yanwan: "??? I’m easily scared, don’t mess with me."

"I probably saw it wrong. He has a habit of popping up out of nowhere; he could be anywhere," Jiang Xia said, also a bit unsure.

He had only seen three numbers on the license plate, and he wasn’t even sure if one of them was an 8 or a 6.

Lin Yanwan was silent for a few seconds.

"...Is it possible that this is one of those times he pops up out of nowhere? That taxi seemed to be driving alongside us just now. I just thought he was looking for a fare, so I ignored it."

Jiang Xia: "..."

He was rendered speechless. If that really had been his dad, he had just lost all face.

"Waaaah, wifey..."

A slight smile curved Lin Yanwan’s lips. "Serves you right! We’ll see if you behave from now on, won’t we?"

"So... should we still go get a room tonight?"

"???"

They walked all the way to the broken bridge that was still under construction, then started to head back the way they came. Jiang Xia insisted on escorting his girlfriend home, but with every small hotel they passed, its neon sign flashing, Lin Yanwan would give him a firm look that said, "In your dreams."

’Is this guy’s pig brain filled with nothing but lewd thoughts?’

In any case, before they were married, he could forget about touching her! No matter how sweet he talked, it was impossible! If Jiang Xia dared to use force, she’d dare to call his mom afterward and complain.

’With his mom on her side, how could she fail to bring him to heel?’

"Babe, look. Is that Old Wang sitting on the ground over there?" Jiang Xia was waiting at a red light when he suddenly pointed to a figure in the distance.

"I think so. Why hasn’t he gone home yet? It’s so late. Where’s Shen Ying? Weren’t they together earlier?"

They walked over hand in hand and found Wang Ming sitting on the steps, his head hanging low. A messy collection of empty beer bottles was scattered around him.

"Hey, hey, Old Wang, what’s wrong with you?" Jiang Xia gently patted his shoulder.

Hearing the voice, Wang Ming slowly raised his head. He looked dazedly at the two people standing before him, his gaze lingering for two seconds on their tightly clasped hands, and a wave of bitterness instantly washed over his heart.

"Yanwan, Old Jiang, you two have to be happy..."

*(Sorry, I was super, super busy yesterday. I had to see three days’ worth of relatives in one day, which meant I had no time to write. I was going to write a Chapter late last night, but I was too exhausted. I’ll make it up today!)*
