Chapter 45: Seaside, Sunrise, Hug, Kiss. p1
The taxi driver from the first night they passed through Chaoyin Road was right. This sea was most beautiful under the moonlight.
The moonlight was like crushed silver foil, gently sprinkled on the sea surface, and also like the entire Milky Way casting its own reflection, twinkling and leaping among the waves. The moonlight and the seawater blended together at this moment, and the silver ribbon of light spread towards the horizon, reaping a chorus of “wow”s from the passing humans.
Chu Wantang held a bouquet of tulips in her arms. She had been to Nancheng before and didn’t find this scene too novel.
What was novel to her was Huai Xing’s reaction—
The girl was leaning on her side, lying against the taxi window, and one “wow” after another jumped out of her mouth, sounding like a series of lively musical notes.
“It’s so beautiful,” Huai Xing said, not forgetting to turn her head and give Chu Wantang a brilliant smile.
Chu Wantang’s other hand was around her waist, and she moved closer, almost pressing against her.
She also looked over from behind her and then sighed slowly, “It seems like a good choice to buy a house in Nancheng and come to stay occasionally.”
“…” Huai Xing turned her head. “You don’t have that much time.”
“That’s right. I don’t have that much time.”
Chu Wantang’s smile was radiant. “You’re working now. You don’t have time either.”
“But I can quit. Anyway, you won’t let me starve.”
“Then you’d better not quit,” Chu Wantang said, unconsciously tightening her arm, her voice tinged with the coolness of the night. “I won’t let you come to Nancheng alone, Xingxing. You can only see the sea with me, not with anyone else.”
Huai Xing replied very obediently, “I know. I’ve never thought of seeing the sea with anyone else. Don’t misunderstand me.” She looked at Chu Wantang’s eyes and made a solemn promise. “I’ll only see it with Chu Wantang.”
Hearing these words, Chu Wantang’s expression was a little moved, but it was quickly hidden. She “mm”-ed.
Perhaps because of the moonlight tonight, there were more cars checking in at Chaoyin Road, and it was even a little congested. It took them a little longer than usual to get back to the hotel.
Assistant Xiao Zhang was free after work, so their nights in Nancheng were also undisturbed.
In the room, the tulips were placed on the coffee table, and next to it was the wine Huai Xing had bought. There was no hard liquor, only some relatively tasty fruit wines, but the alcohol content didn’t seem low, around ten to twenty percent.
She hadn’t bought much, just a few bottles.
Chu Wantang looked at the few bottles of wine, took off her suit jacket, and the corners of her lips curled up. “After drinking, we can sleep until we go out to see the sunrise in the morning?”
“Is that okay?” Huai Xing raised an eyebrow.
Chu Wantang couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know what kind of sleep I’m talking about, that you’re saying ‘is that okay’ here?”
“Any kind is fine,” Huai Xing said, kissing the corner of Chu Wantang’s mouth. “I’ll accompany you.”
Chu Wantang wanted to kiss her, but her mouth was covered by her hand, and she refused with a serious face, “No, I’ve taken a shower and brushed my teeth. You haven’t.”
“I know,” Chu Wantang said, pulling down her hand and pecking the back of it.
Soon, Chu Wantang took her pajamas and went into the bathroom, and the sound of water gradually rose.
Huai Xing stood by the window, smelling the faint salty smell in the air, and bathed in the bright moonlight of the night.
Her eyes were a little out of focus, and she didn’t know where to put them at all.
After a long while, she closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and took out her pajamas from the closet and put them on.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, the two of them squeezed onto the single sofa, one in front of the other.
The night was still long, and Chu Wantang was not in a hurry. She took out her laptop and placed it on the coffee table, and put on a movie to watch. Her arms were filled with the sweet fragrance of Huai Xing. Before she even started drinking, she felt a little drunk.
Huai Xing opened a bottle of peach-flavored fruit wine and poured it, then turned to the side and handed it to her. “Try this?”
“Okay.”
Chu Wantang replied, but she didn’t let go of the hand that was holding the person. She lifted her chin, raised an eyebrow, the meaning obvious.
Huai Xing smiled helplessly. In this position, she brought the rim of the glass to her lips, watched her take a sip, then pulled it away and asked curiously, “Is it good? The clerk told me this flavor is the best.”
“You try it,” Chu Wantang said, a smile spreading to the corners of her eyes. “It doesn’t count as drinking.”
Huai Xing deliberately pretended not to understand and was about to bring the rim of the glass to her own lips.
The next second, the woman behind her stopped her action. The remaining half a glass of wine in her hand swayed, but it didn’t spill.
But she also tasted the wine.
Chu Wantang closed her eyes lightly, her tongue intertwined in Huai Xing’s mouth.
The sound of the movie was the same as the night they had first had sex. She didn’t hear a single thing, but she could hear her own heartbeat.
Huai Xing tasted it very seriously, licking, pressing, rolling, and plundering. In the middle, she felt that the taste had almost dissipated, so she pulled out, brought the rim of the glass to Chu Wantang’s lips again, watched Chu Wantang drink the remaining half a glass of wine, and then leaned over to taste it again.
Their throats swallowed from time to time, their mouths sharing the freshness of the toothpaste and the fragrance of the peach.
Their hair was intertwined, as if their hearts were also intertwined.
After the kiss of the first bottle of wine was over, Chu Wantang finally had time to see if Huai Xing’s face was flushed.
Under the soft light, Huai Xing’s slender, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes half-closed. There was only the usual pink on her cheeks, not to the extent of being flushed.
“Xingxing…” Chu Wantang said, looking at her appearance, and the still-sober her couldn’t help but call out.
Huai Xing replied with a nasal sound, “Hmm?”
“You still haven’t answered whether it’s good or not.”
“It’s good.”
Chu Wantang chuckled lightly and couldn’t help but ask, “Is this the drinking with me you imagined?”
“Yes…” Huai Xing hooked her arms around the woman’s neck. In the past few moments, she was no longer sitting with her back to Chu Wantang, but facing her, sitting on her, which was more convenient for kissing.
Chu Wantang raised her eyebrows lazily. “Next bottle.”
They still drank in this way, at a not-so-fast, not-so-slow pace.
Chu Wantang’s alcohol tolerance was not bad, but it was definitely not very good either. She usually drank a bottle of red wine at home, which was a lot, but the alcohol content was lower than these fruit wines. After three bottles of fruit wine, the drunkenness was much deeper than the few times she had pretended before. Her head was obviously a little heavy, but she was right on the line between sober and dazed.
She could clearly distinguish who the person in front of her was, and she also knew what she wanted to do with Huai Xing.
But compared to the more proactive side on a normal day, she had lost some strength now and was much more passive—
Her pajama buttons had been unbuttoned by Huai Xing at some point.
Huai Xing knelt on the sofa, bending down to kiss her on one hand, and rubbing her gently with her fingers on the other.
When her reaction was enough, she released her lips and slowly kissed her way down.
Chu Wantang tilted her head back, and with her own consciousness, she even lifted it a little.
Until she clearly felt the hot, moist mouth enveloping her, her teeth grinding lightly.
Her breathing immediately became heavier. She lowered her eyes, and what fell into her sight was the girl’s black hair. Those strands of hair were even brushing against her skin with the owner’s movements.
Her other side was not empty either, held by Huai Xing’s entire hand.
She watched it change shape in Huai Xing’s hand.
Sensing her gaze, Huai Xing looked up, caught her gaze, and came over to kiss her lips with a smile. “What are you looking at, Chu Chu?”
“…” Chu Wantang’s throat moved, her vision a little blurry, and she didn’t answer.
Huai Xing bit her lip. “Answer me quickly.”
“What if I don’t?” Chu Wantang’s voice was tinged with a hint of alcohol.
Huai Xing tilted her head. “Then I won’t continue.”
“I’m watching you sleep with me,” she said. A wise man submits to circumstances. But after saying this, Chu Wantang’s ears were a little red.
But Huai Xing propped herself up and didn’t continue immediately.
Chu Wantang’s brows furrowed, and her voice even held a hint of anxiety. “I’ve already answered, Huai Xing.”
“Take off your own clothes and pants and put them on the sofa,” Huai Xing also called her by her name. “Chu Wantang.”
Chu Wantang’s brain short-circuited for a moment. “Hmm?”
“I’m going to rinse my mouth.”
The purpose of rinsing her mouth was all too obvious, but no matter how clear it was, experiencing it firsthand was another matter.
This time, Huai Xing knelt on the soft blanket. She folded Chu Wantang’s fair, well-proportioned long legs, said nothing, and buried her head.
A quarter of an hour ago, she was tasting wine.
Now, she was tasting a person.
Chu Wantang’s hands gripped the armrests of the sofa. She couldn’t stand Huai Xing’s kissing skills, her feet trembling, and then she stepped on Huai Xing’s slender shoulders.
Her consciousness was already weak, and at this moment, it was all gathered in one place.
Her breath was short, and her body was tense.
In the end, all her feelings turned into a cry. “Huai Xing… Huai Xing…”
“What’s wrong?” Huai Xing still had the leisure to look up at her face, and then slowly moved her gaze down to the scene in front of her.
Chu Wantang couldn’t answer. She parted her lips slightly and took in more oxygen.
Huai Xing’s voice lifted at the end. “Do you want it?”
Chu Wantang turned her face away with difficulty. Everything about her was now controlled by Huai Xing.
If it were a normal day, she would definitely have said “yes” directly. But at this moment, after drinking, her face was inexplicably a little thinner, and she answered with a single syllable, “Mm.”
Huai Xing propped herself up and used her lips, which had her taste, to kiss her face.
She said with dissatisfaction, “So quiet.”
Chu Wantang struggled for a moment and slowly answered, “I do…”
Only then did Huai Xing reveal a triumphant smile. “That’s more like it.” She still had the leisure to say, “The sunrise at the seaside in Nancheng is now between four-thirty and four-fifty in the morning. You said that after drinking, you would sleep until you went to see the sunrise. I guess you’ll be sober by then, right?”
As she spoke, she took out the finger cot that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Chu Wantang. “Tear it open.”
Chu Wantang still had the strength to tear the plastic packaging. In such a passive situation, she could only do as she was told.
And she even put it on for Huai Xing.
Huai Xing looked at the plastic ring on her finger and twitched her lips. “It’s like putting on a ring, Chu Wantang.”
Since you know that I’ve fantasized about everything, you must also know that I’ve fantasized about you putting a ring on my finger, right?
But a fantasy is just a fantasy, just like the finger cot in front of me is not a ring.
Of course…
Even if it were a real ring, it would be too late.
Huai Xing’s hand moved down. She looked at Chu Wantang’s drunken, two-parts more charming features, and the tip of her nose was a little sore.
She tried her best to hold it in and knelt down again.
As she probed inside, she lowered her head again. She closed her eyes and displayed the increasingly superb kissing skills she had learned under Chu Wantang’s guidance.
