- Chapter 86 - An Adult Wearing a Child's Clothes
After a moment of thought, Song Qingxing understood why, and she couldn’t help but want to laugh. Xie Jingcheng actually cared about such things.
So, she reached out and actively hooked her arms around his neck. She curved her red lips and touched Xie Jingcheng’s nose with her own. This posture was too provocative.
But to be honest…
Having just finished eating, even though they had wiped their mouths very clean, they still carried some scent of the food.
So, kissing was out of the question!
At the very least, they needed to take a shower and brush their teeth first.
Who would be like the characters in novels, indulging without restraint or shame, “blooming” haphazardly anytime, anywhere?
“So you cared about this. But I didn’t deliberately hide it from you. It’s just that if I had told you, there wouldn’t have been any surprise, right?”
Her curled eyelashes were like seductive little hooks, making one’s heart beat wildly and impossible to resist.
“While that’s true,” Xie Jingcheng said, “I dislike the feeling of you hiding something from me more than I enjoy the surprise.”
Song Qingxing: …
How could this person be so unresponsive? He had no sense of romance at all!
Her eyes couldn’t help but look down. Did she do something wrong?
She shouldn’t have prepared this dinner. Xie Jingcheng simply didn’t like it. The feeling of having placed her bet incorrectly made her heart ache.
This was the first time Song Qingxing truly experienced the feeling of unrequited love.
It was true that once a person fell in love, they would turn into a clown. The feeling of disappointment, especially for something she had prepared for days, was very unpleasant.
“Unhappy?”
Xie Jingcheng could, of course, sense that she had said the wrong thing.
She felt a little annoyed; she shouldn’t have hurt Song Qingxing by being too frank. And so, the high-and-mighty film empress had to swallow her pride.
“Actually, your food was quite good.”
Song Qingxing shook her head.
“But didn’t you say you disliked the feeling of me hiding something from you more?”
Xie Jingcheng wished she could time travel back and slap the version of herself that had just spoken the truth. But despite her deep regret, there was no way to reverse it.
In the past, when she spoke, she said whatever came to mind, never having to consider the listener’s feelings.
Because everyone else accommodated her; there was no reason for her to accommodate others. But at this moment, Xie Jingcheng realized what it meant to say the wrong thing.
“That’s not what I meant, Qingxing. I just don’t want to lie to you.”
“When I first came in with you just now, I did mind these things, but I don’t mind them now.”
Xie Jingcheng pressed in, practically backing her against the wall. Song Qingxing’s head was against the white wall. Seeing the atmosphere grow intimate, she gave Xie Jingcheng a light kick.
“Don’t get so close. We just ate, and we haven’t showered yet…”
If they didn’t want anything awkward to happen, it would be best for them to take a comfortable shower and brush their teeth before doing anything else.
Xie Jingcheng shook her head.
“I said I’m not the kind of villain who wants to do something to you anytime, anywhere.”
“I just want you to hear my explanation.”
“I’m sorry, I was a little suspicious of you before, because I thought, even if you don’t love me, it’s fine if you continue to stay with me, I can accept it…”
“But you would look for other people, wouldn’t you?”
How many people in the world can resist temptation?
The endless stream of illegitimate children in wealthy families had made Xie Jingcheng all too familiar with this set of despicable methods. She didn’t dare gamble on human nature, because she herself was a despicable person.
So that was it.
Xie Jingcheng meant that if Song Qingxing could rent a house and move in without her knowing today, then tomorrow she could similarly put a green hat on her head without her knowing, find a gigolo or a mistress, and keep them as a secret lover?
That imagination was truly something.
“Why would I look for other people?”
Song Qingxing really wanted to roll her eyes, but considering the person was her sugar mommy, she suppressed the urge.
“Xie Jingcheng, please get this straight. I’m not some male celebrity with excessive energy, who looks like he has four kidneys. I can barely serve you, and you think I’d serve others?”
Some people in this world are devoted to sensual pleasures, while others are not so keen.
Song Qingxing was typically not that fond of dating; otherwise, she would have been dating long ago.
In her life, there were too many things more important than love.
Although rolling around in bed with a beauty… especially someone with a great figure like Xie Jingcheng, was definitely an experience that made one crave more.
However, Song Qingxing wouldn’t become particularly obsessed.
How many people in the world could compare to Xie Jingcheng?
“So, you can relax. Unless you don’t want me, I won’t go looking for anyone else.”
“Otherwise, I think I’d die suddenly in bed.”
Filming was exhausting enough; who had the time to flirt with men or women?
Hearing her words, Xie Jingcheng felt a sense of sudden enlightenment, and she couldn’t help but smile.
“I was being narrow-minded. Qingxing, you truly are that kind of person.”
She let go and no longer cornered her against the wall.
“Go wash up.”
Xie Jingcheng’s mood seemed to have brightened, and besides, the other person had made a big meal for her. She hadn’t been this happy in a long time.
Having been given the go-ahead, Song Qingxing skipped off to the bathroom. When she came out, she seemed to realize a problem.
“Wait a minute…”
“You didn’t bring any change of clothes.”
If the two of them were going to stay here tonight, Xie Jingcheng would probably have to trouble the driver to go to the hotel to retrieve some clothes. Song Qingxing took out her phone, just about to dial.
Xie Jingcheng shook her head.
“We don’t need to trouble them for such a small thing.”
Truly wealthy people don’t deliberately make things difficult for their subordinates like nouveau riche. On the contrary, they treat them very well.
The driver had a rare day off to rest, and was probably asleep right now. It wasn’t good to wake them up from bed just like that.
“Do you have any spare clothes?”
“Lending me a set will be fine.”
Xie Jingcheng planned to make do for a nap anyway. Since she was only wearing it in this bedroom and wouldn’t be going out, she was comfortable with the idea.
Song Qingxing had stayed here for a few days, so she did have a few sets of spare clothes.
So, without much hesitation, she nodded and went to search for her pajamas, still carrying the scent of water vapor.
She finally found a set that wasn’t sheer, didn’t expose the abdomen, and wasn’t a camisole.
It matched Xie Jingcheng’s usual style of dress.
So, she eagerly handed it over. It was a grey set of pajamas. Xie Jingcheng took the clothes, held them up to herself, and found them to be quite short.
This would expose her abdomen and navel, but lying in bed, she probably didn’t need to worry about that.
Xie Jingcheng didn’t hesitate and went into the bathroom. But when she actually came out, Song Qingxing couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.
It was like an adult wearing a child’s clothes.
Wait…
How could she call herself a child?
Song Qingxing immediately stopped laughing.
Xie Jingcheng was also feeling uncomfortable being buttoned up like that, so she simply stopped hesitating and reached out to unbutton them.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s only noon. You can’t indulge in broad day…”
Song Qingxing nervously pulled the blanket up, not finishing the last word.
“The clothes are too small. I’m just unbuttoning a few buttons, or I’ll feel suffocated.”
Xie Jingcheng explained with a hint of helplessness.
