Just as Gu’er was taking out her key to open the door, Sun Jiaming opened it from the inside.
"Oh? Did you know I was coming and decided to greet ? We’re so close, why are you being so formal?"
Li Zhi teased Sun Jiaming.
"No matter how close we are, I still have to greet you when you arrive. Otherwise, who knows what you’d say about ."
Sun Jiaming retorted, then added, "I just got back myself. I saw Gu’er wasn’t ho yet and was just about to go pick her up."
Gu’er gave Sun Jiaming a sweet smile.
"I knew you weren’t that thoughtful. I an, seriously, do you two have any sha, acting like this in front of a single guy like ?"
Li Zhi grumbled. He was happy for Sun Jiaming and Gu’er when he saw how good they were together, but he couldn’t deny the slight pang of jealousy in his heart.
"If you feel so bad, go find a girlfriend yourself. Didn’t you say you t a really pretty one last ti? You even said she was prettier than my Gu’er."
Sun Jiaming teased Li Zhi.
"Don’t bring it up. If you ntion it again, I’ll get mad."
Li Zhi glared at Sun Jiaming.
Sun Jiaming glanced at him and, sure enough, didn’t bring it up again. He knew sothing must have happened, or Li Zhi wouldn’t react like this.
Once they were ho and had chatted with Grandma for a while, Gu’er told Sun Jiaming what had happened at the departnt store.
Sun Jiaming shot a glance at Li Zhi. He had originally thought that if a pretty girl like her ended up with Li Zhi, it would be a good thing. He truly wanted Li Zhi to find happiness. But he never expected that Zhang Lili would be that kind of person. Fortunately, Li Zhi had good self-control and hadn’t been captivated by her looks. Otherwise, there would have been endless trouble down the line.
Li Zhi stayed for dinner. Gu’er went into the kitchen and made a few refreshing side dishes. Li Zhi and Sun Jiaming had a few drinks together, and Li Zhi didn’t leave until late.
After Li Zhi went ho, Sun Jiaming sat down next to Gu’er.
The faint sll of alcohol wafted from Sun Jiaming.
"You should go take a shower. You drank so much, aren’t you worried you’ll get a headache?"
Gu’er said softly. Although there was a hint of complaint in her tone, it was because she was worried about Sun Jiaming.
"I didn’t actually drink that much. That guy Li Zhi wanted to get drunk, but he has no idea how much I can handle. Don’t worry, I can drink a pound or two without any problem. I only had half a pound today. Your man won’t let himself get drunk."
Sun Jiaming was practically leaning over to speak right into Gu’er’s ear.
His warm breath ghosted over her ear, like a feather tickling her, making her heart itch terribly.
"Hurry up and go. Even if you’re not drunk, you should still shower. You reek of alcohol."
Gu’er gave Sun Jiaming a light push, her voice tinged with a playful pout.
"As you command."
Sun Jiaming’s eyes were bright. Seeing that no one else was in the living room, he stole a kiss on Gu’er’s cheek before getting up and heading to the bathroom.
Gu’er’s face felt like it was on fire. Even though no one had seen, her face was still frighteningly hot. When she touched the spot where Sun Jiaming had kissed her, the heat felt like it could burn her hand.
Gu’er seed to think of sothing. She went back to her room, took a set of clothes out of the wardrobe, and placed it on the sofa.
When Sun Jiaming ca out of the shower, Gu’er stared at him. His hair wasn’t completely dry; it was still dripping wet. Water droplets trickled down his chest, creating a unique, sensual appeal that made Gu’er’s heart skip a beat.
"You didn’t even dry your hair properly. I know it’s warm out, but you can’t be like this. What if you catch a cold? Let help you dry it."
Gu’er got up and grabbed a towel. It was sumr now, but having wet hair was still uncomfortable.
Sun Jiaming sat on a stool in the bathroom, watching in the mirror as Gu’er used a large towel to dry his hair. Her expression was so serious, her gaze so gentle, that it sent faint ripples through his heart.
’This woman is mine. She’s the woman I love most. She’s drying my hair for . It’s just a small thing, but it makes feel so happy. This is the life I’ve always wanted.’
"All done."
Gu’er had dried Sun Jiaming’s hair until it was just damp.
"Should I help you wash up?"
Sun Jiaming asked with a smile.
"No, you go back to the room and wait for ," Gu’er said softly, her face blushing.
"Okay."
Sun Jiaming nodded. He loved this side of Gu’er.
Gu’er finished her shower and put on the clothes she had laid out. It was a red dress that Sun Jiaming had bought for her, one she had never worn before.
At first, she was busy selling popsicles and felt it would be inconvenient to wear. She was also afraid the villagers would gossip and say she was showing off.
Later, after moving to the city, she started earning money and buying her own clothes. She no longer lacked things to wear, so this red dress was put away, never worn in front of anyone.
She wasn’t sure why, but today she suddenly thought of this dress. She wanted to wear it for Sun Jiaming to see.
Gu’er looked at the woman in the mirror.
Her features were as pretty as a painting, her eyes held a hint of passion, and her cheeks were a faint pink. Paired with the red dress, she had a bewitching, glamorous beauty.
’I wonder what Sun Jiaming will think?’
Gu’er smiled, then returned to the room.
Watching Gu’er walk toward him in the red dress, Sun Jiaming was stunned for a mont before joy and excitent flooded his heart. This was the dress he had bought for her. Gu’er was finally wearing it, and she was wearing it for him. At this mont, Sun Jiaming’s heart was filled with delight.
"Gu’er, you’re so beautiful."
Sun Jiaming stood up and walked to Gu’er’s side.
"Really? Does Brother Jia Ming like in a red dress?"
Gu’er asked, tilting her head up at Sun Jiaming, her eyes holding a bewitching power.
"I do. I love it when my Gu’er wears clothes that I bought for her."
As Sun Jiaming spoke, his Adam’s apple bobbed. He was aroused.
"Then from now on, I’ll wear the clothes Brother Jia Ming buys for every day, okay?"
Gu’er said. As soon as the words were out, she felt they sounded silly, but in that mont, it was exactly what she wanted to say.
"Okay."
Sun Jiaming nodded.
Seeing Sun Jiaming nod, Gu’er felt a wave of sweetness in her heart.
Sun Jiaming gently wrapped his arms around Gu’er from behind, pressing his lips to her ear. He then trailed kisses down from her ear to her neck, and then to her collarbone...
******
The night passed silently. The two of them were wild that night. They were about to leave on a trip in the next couple of days and would be on the road for several days. Even when they arrived at their destination, they’d be staying sowhere else and wouldn’t be able to be as uninhibited as they were at ho. So, for this one night, Gu’er let Sun Jiaming have his way with her. And of course, she enjoyed it too.
The result of their night of wild passion was that Gu’er couldn’t get out of bed the next day. She slept until ten o’clock, only waking up because she was hungry.
"Hungry? There’s so coarse corn porridge in the pot. I’ll bring it over for you. We can just eat in bed, okay?"
Sun Jiaming said with a smile when he saw Gu’er’s eyes open.
"No, I’ll co out to eat."
Gu’er felt sore all over the mont she moved. But even with the soreness, she refused to eat in bed. Otherwise, who knew what everyone else might think had happened to her. It would be bad if they got the wrong idea. Even if they didn’t, she didn’t want to be laughed at.
