Chapter 121: No One Said You Can’t Kiss During the Ambiguous Period.
The elegant gardenia-scented aromatherapy, wrapped in a cool air, drifted into the back seat. It tried to find a sense of existence, deliberately shuttling between the breaths of the two women, but in the end, it was all in vain.
Huai Xing and Chu Wantang were like two intertwined vines, slowly adjusting their positions in the not-so-spacious space.
Before long, Huai Xing was held sideways on Chu Wantang’s lap.
She still covered Chu Wantang’s ears with her hands, but the back of her head was resting on Chu Wantang’s palm, pressed against the car window, enduring this kiss that was mixed with a strong longing.
Before the downpour fell, the thunder rolled, penetrating the underground garage.
But at this moment, the car window seemed to be able to block out everything, shielding out all the noise from the outside world.
Their breaths were warm, a little heavy, a little rushed, and they were woven into a soft net in the enclosed car.
When Huai Xing had worked at “Lan Ling” before, she had had so much experience kissing Chu Wantang in the garage that now she barely needed any transition.
At this moment, she closed her eyes, and in her mouth was the other’s wet and soft tongue. She responded with unrestrained passion.
The sound of leather rubbing against leather, accompanied by the sound of kissing, would sound from time to time, and even the sound of swallowing was amplified.
The back of Chu Wantang’s hand was pressed against the cold car window, and in her palm was Huai Xing’s light hair. She savored the sweetness in her mouth and couldn’t help but curl her knuckles, deliberately lifting Huai Xing’s chin a little more, making it more convenient for her to deepen the kiss.
The two of them lost their concept of time, as if they had returned to many moments in the past, only focusing on the present feeling.
They were reluctant to part just like that.
So much so that when the heavy rain fell, they still did not stop, but just changed their rhythm and posture. This time, it was Huai Xing who was kneeling on both sides, sitting lightly on Chu Wantang’s lap.
She lowered her head, and this time she took the initiative, using the exquisite kissing skills that Chu Wantang had personally taught her to make Chu Wantang addicted.
Chu Wantang held her waist, her long lashes lightly covering her eyes, and she was very pleased with this set.
As they went back and forth, she no longer heard the majestic thunder in her ears. Only then did Huai Xing gently peck Chu Wantang’s lips, slowly finishing.
Her breath was a little difficult. She buried her face in Chu Wantang’s shoulder and neck, calming her own heartbeat and breathing.
“It’s very useful…” Chu Wantang said, turning her head to the side and tucking the hair behind her ear, revealing her fair ear.
Then she leaned over, and the corners of her lips lifted in satisfaction as she said softly, “I couldn’t hear the thunder just now. You’re a miracle worker, Xingxing.”
Huai Xing: “…”
She belatedly pushed Chu Wantang’s shoulder and replied with no strength, “We’re still in the ambiguous period…”
“No one said you can’t kiss during the ambiguous period.”
Huai Xing was skeptical. “Is that so?”
“It is.”
Huai Xing licked her lips. “No.” She lifted her face, and in this dim light, her eyes were as bright as two stars. She said very seriously, “We still have to transition slowly. We’ll kiss next time when it’s thundering.”
Chu Wantang couldn’t help but laugh. She really wanted to say that this would make her reluctant to leave the thunderstorm season in Jingcheng.
But Huai Xing’s actions had stirred up a surging warmth in her heart, making her heart as soft as a cloud. She couldn’t help but say with emotion, “So lucky.”
“What?”
“To be cared about by you. I’m so lucky.”
Huai Xing turned her face, stroked her brow, and in the tone of Lu Xianyue, she said with a smile, “That’s right. To be cared about by this young lady, you should be happy, Chu Ruan Tang.”
Chu Wantang suddenly made a sound. “Boom, boom, boom.”
Huai Xing blinked, not understanding. “?”
Chu Wantang looked pitiful. “It’s thundering.” She pressed against her. “Can we kiss for a little longer?”
…
The thunderstorm came in waves and lasted for almost three days, and a brief clearing came on Friday.
Chu Wantang’s work was also completely finished on this day. The last stage of “Lan Ling’s” overseas expansion would begin in a month. After it was completely stable, she would not have to travel so much.
Without thinking, she went to ask CEO Mei for leave, so that she could go to Haicheng with Huai Xing later.
CEO Mei had originally intended for her to get some good rest, but no matter how she had tried to persuade her before, it had been useless. Now, suddenly hearing her say that she wanted to rest for a month, she was stunned for a few seconds. “How did you suddenly figure it out?”
“We’ve made up,” Chu Wantang said, answering with just these three words.
CEO Mei rubbed her brow. “Don’t you bully me for being old and having a bad memory. What do you mean by ‘made up’? You have to be clear.”
“I’ve made up with Huai Xing.”
Chu Wantang would unconsciously reveal a smile when she thought of Huai Xing. “Auntie Mei, I won’t lose her again this time.”
CEO Mei was also happy for her. “I remember that little girl. She’s a very good person.”
She then looked at the junior sitting properly opposite her with great interest. “Then what’s next? A long-distance relationship?”
Chu Wantang’s expression froze for a moment, and she did not speak.
Seeing this, CEO Mei’s smile disappeared. After a few seconds of silence, she asked with great understanding, “Are you planning to resign after the company’s overseas business is stable?”
“I didn’t have such a plan before,” Chu Wantang said, telling the truth. After she had lost Huai Xing, she had only wanted to stay at “Lan Ling” until she was old.
But now that she had gotten her back, she only wanted to prioritize Huai Xing.
CEO Mei snorted coldly. “So you have this plan now.”
Chu Wantang answered calmly, “I do.”
“You’ve been at Lan Ling for so many years. Are you willing to leave?”
“You win some, you lose some, CEO Mei.”
CEO Mei felt a headache. “Forget it. You don’t have to think about resigning. I won’t agree. After the last stage of the overseas expansion is over, you don’t have to come to the company often. You don’t need to participate in the management on site. The internet is so developed now. You can work flexibly.”
She thought of her late old friend. “Your mother was too hardworking before. I was tired just watching her.”
Chu Wantang’s face lit up again. “Thank you, Auntie Mei.”
As for letting Huai Xing compromise in this aspect, it was something she had never thought of.
On her way home from CEO Mei’s villa, when she opened the door, she saw Huai Xing in the living room, holding a pair of children’s binoculars.
Huai Xing was aiming the camera at her, like a news reporter, and said, “Okay, I see a very beautiful older sister now. She just got home, and she also has a cute dimple on her lips.”
Chu Wantang changed her shoes and walked closer step by step.
Huai Xing was adjusting the focus, but the distance was really too close, and her binoculars could barely see anything clearly.
In desperation, she had no choice but to put down the binoculars and raise an eyebrow at Chu Wantang. “You’re too close. I can’t even see your face clearly.”
“You don’t have to look at me through these binoculars,” Chu Wantang said, staring at the person in front of her, her voice gentle. “I will always be in front of you, Huai Xing.”
Hearing her say this, Huai Xing was a little stunned.
In the past, she had also looked at Chu Wantang through an invisible pair of binoculars. Even when they were doing the most intimate things in a physiological sense, there was always an insurmountable distance between them.
Now, this distance had completely disappeared.
Realizing this, her eyes actually reddened a little.
Chu Wantang quickly hugged her and then sat down on the sofa, asking in a warm voice, “What’s wrong?”
“Chu Ruan Tang.”
“I’m here,” Chu Wantang said, rubbing her hair with her chin.
Huai Xing was a little embarrassed, but she still made a sound. “Boom, boom, boom…”
“Chu Ruan Tang knows.”
Chu Wantang replied, captured her lips, and kissed her very gently.
…
Wan Yi did not return to the runway, but she had signed a contract with a model agency to be a teacher, and she was traveling all over the country.
On Sunday, she had just returned to Jingcheng from another city. Before she could even put down her luggage, she was dragging her suitcase to a high-end restaurant in Jingcheng.
She pushed open the door, panting, and said first, “I’m so tired.”
She looked at Huai Xing, who was sitting next to Chu Wantang, and her face was wreathed in smiles. “Xingxing, long time no see!”
She then couldn’t help but say with emotion, “We’re finally having this meal. Who understands! Who understands!”
Su Cheng raised her hand. “I do!”
Qiaoqiao didn’t know what was going on. Seeing her mother actively raise her hand, she also followed and raised her hand. “I also understand!”
Huai Xing smiled. “Sister Wan Yi, it’s been a long time. You’re still looking so good.”
Chu Wantang propped her chin on her hand, looked at her friend’s clear and bright eyes, and said, “You don’t have to be in such a hurry.”
“You wanted to leave me and eat alone, right? Don’t even think about it,” Wan Yi said, putting down her luggage and sitting down next to Qiaoqiao. “Your flight back to Haicheng is in the afternoon. If I hadn’t rushed a little, when would we have had this meal?”
Chu Wantang smiled. “We’ll have it eventually.”
She had this confidence.
Huai Xing glanced at the person at her side and pressed the corners of her lips.
Before they had booked this restaurant, Chu Wantang had told her the meaning of this meal. As early as six years ago, Chu Wantang had promised her two friends that when they got together, she would treat them to a meal.
In the end, year after year.
After a full six years, they were finally having this meal.
Even though they were still in the ambiguous period.
Mm… the ambiguous period of kissing on the grounds of “boom, boom, boom,” childish but beautiful.
Wan Yi was always the one who talked the most. She was too happy for her friend and couldn’t help but expose Chu Wantang’s past. “Xingxing, did you know? When you first left, Chengcheng and I went to see her. She had a high fever at home, and wow, her hand was also injured, and the flesh was rolled up…”
Chu Wantang: “…”
She pressed her forehead and did not stop her. After all, Wan Yi was also “selling her misery” for her.
Su Cheng was putting a piece of food in her daughter’s bowl. Hearing Wan Yi’s impassioned words, she also joined in. “We gave her a good talking-to. When we heard her say she had an addiction to you, the feeling of satisfaction went straight to our heads.”
“Yes, yes!” Wan Yi still couldn’t help but high-five Su Cheng.
“Can you not be so exaggerated?” Chu Wantang said, still a little unable to stand this description. She sensed Huai Xing’s gaze on her, but she didn’t dare to look back, her cheeks a little pink. “There’s still a little girl who’s only a little over four here. Please be careful.”
Qiaoqiao was silently eating during this period, her round eyes darting between the four adults. Hearing Chu Wantang mention her, she raised a hand as if she were answering a question in class. “Mommy Tangtang, do you also have a sweet tooth? Mommy always says that about me.”
The little girl was innocent and really didn’t understand. She could only ask based on her own understanding.
Chu Wantang nodded. “That’s right.”
“She’s very sweet.”
This time it was Huai Xing’s turn to be embarrassed. She had been drinking water, and she was choked by Chu Wantang’s reply.
Chu Wantang turned her head to pat her on the back, with a triumphant expression of “I’ve won this round.”
Su Cheng: “Don’t be a bad influence on the child!”
Wan Yi: “Chengcheng, you’re wronging her this time. There’s nothing wrong with what she said. She didn’t even say what kind of addiction it was…”
Chu Wantang made a pause gesture. “I lost, you two. I lost completely. Don’t expose my past anymore, okay?”
Wan Yi held out her hand and took the opportunity. “Give us the photo booth pictures from before, and we’ll let you go.”
Chu Wantang resignedly took out the photo booth pictures they had taken in high school from her bag.
She did not immediately hand them to her friends opposite her, but showed them to Huai Xing. “The three of us when we were sixteen or seventeen. How about it? Youthful, right?”
The photo booth pictures were very well-preserved and had not turned yellow.
After Huai Xing had looked at them carefully and seriously, she smiled faintly. “I wish you a long and lasting friendship.”
Wan Yi glanced at her watch. “Why don’t we do this? Retro is popular now. I remember there’s a photo studio in a nearby mall. I went there with a little sister before… welcome, Xingxing and Qiaoqiao.”
“Shall we go and take some pictures today? Do we have time?”
Su Cheng: “We do.”
The decision was made very suddenly, but Wan Yi’s suggestion was very good.
After the meal, they went to a nearby mall and found the photo studio.
There were many machines, and they were not limited to a group photo of five. They were paired up in twos and threes.
In the end, it was Huai Xing and Chu Wantang’s turn to take a photo together.
Only the two of them were in the space. Chu Wantang chose the “couple” mode without hesitation.
Huai Xing took the Ragdoll cat ear props and put them on her head. The countdown was ticking, and the picture was frozen.
Facing the camera again, the dimples on Chu Wantang’s lips were revealed, and she wrapped her arms around Huai Xing’s waist.
When they came out of the machine, Wan Yi and Su Cheng wanted to see what they had taken. Chu Wantang only showed them the photo of their heads together.
This was also the most well-behaved one.
Of course, it wasn’t that it wasn’t well-behaved. It was just that Huai Xing was a little thin-skinned.
Something like kissing on the cheek, she certainly couldn’t show it to her friends.
Wan Yi: “A match.”
Su Cheng: “A good match.”
Qiaoqiao also followed. “A super match!”
Huai Xing ruffled Qiaoqiao’s head, her eyes curving into a smile. Chu Wantang at the side looked at her and also smiled.
…
The flight was not delayed and arrived in Haicheng on time.
On the way back to Chengshan Mansion, Huai Xing finished her call with Lu Xianyue and turned her head to look at the woman who was playing with her fingers.
Dusk fell, and the last sliver of white in the sky also disappeared.
The changing light fell on Chu Wantang’s body, flickering, adding a hint of mystery to her.
Huai Xing was still a little unsure and asked, “Are you going to stay in Haicheng for the next month?”
“No,” Chu Wantang said, looking up and replying with a grin. “I’m staying by your side.”
“Wherever you are, I’ll be there. It has nothing to do with the city, only with you.”
