Chapter 72
Shi Qin’s hand had just reached inside when it was caught by Zhou Jinsi.
Zhou Jinsi’s face was red. She pulled her mischievous hand out, her eyelashes lowered as she said in a small voice, “Why so suddenly…”
“I… um… I’m on my period today…”
Shi Qin looked at her hands, which were protectively crossed over her chest, and snorted lightly. She pinched Zhou Jinsi’s face and made her meet her gaze.
“You’re learning to lie now, are you? You just had it at the beginning of the month. Did you think I forgot?”
“What…” Shi Qin’s words paused. She wrapped her arms tightly around the person in her embrace’s neck and whispered softly in her ear, “You still don’t want to give it to me?”
“It’s not that…”
Zhou Jinsi found it hard to say.
She tugged on Shi Qin’s sleeve and said honestly, “I just, it’s just too sudden…”
Seeing her fidgety appearance, Shi Qin deliberately drew out her “oh.”
“You’re shy now? I didn’t see you like this before.”
Zhou Jinsi was at a loss for words. Shi Qin then showed off her fair, slender hands in front of her again.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already cut my nails. It won’t hurt that much, hmm?”
Zhou Jinsi saw the pink, delicate fingertips dangling in front of her. Unsure of what she was thinking, she turned her gaze away, blushing.
Finally, under Shi Qin’s various persuasions, Zhou Jinsi obediently lay down on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, as if she were going to her execution.
Shi Qin straddled her and lifted her chin in dissatisfaction. “Open your eyes. Look at me.”
“Um… the lights are still on.”
“Lights on? I remember a certain someone didn’t like the lights off before.”
Shi Qin’s lips curved into a mischievous smile. Her fingertips lightly traced over Zhou Jinsi’s nose, lips, collarbone, and then down…
Her fingers suddenly pinched.
Zhou Jinsi turned her head away, her expression pained as she began to pant.
“Don’t worry, Teacher Zhou. I’m a good student.” Shi Qin’s voice grew lower and lower. “However you taught me, that’s how I’ll learn…”
Listening to her panting, Shi Qin’s eyes gradually became hazy.
Zhou Jinsi probably didn’t know how alluring she was at this moment.
Her long hair was disheveled, her fine brows tightly furrowed, her cheeks flushed red. In order not to make any shameful sounds, she was biting her lip hard, yet she made no resistance, a posture of being at anyone’s mercy.
In Shi Qin’s eyes, this was an irresistible temptation.
This temptation did not come from a physical charm, but from the fusion of Zhou Jinsi’s cool voice and her moving whimpers. This unique contrast made Shi Qin unable to stop.
The more she held back, the more Shi Qin wanted to “bully” her.
A kiss fell. In the entanglement of their lips and teeth, Zhou Jinsi only felt her mind go foggy, her body as if it were floating, beginning to lose control.
Shi Qin showed no “mercy.” However Zhou Jinsi had tormented her before, she now learned and returned it all.
The corners of Shi Qin’s mouth curved up. Seeing Zhou Jinsi unable to help but let out a wail, she leaned down with affection, lightly kissing the corner of her mouth, swallowing the suggestive sounds in this kiss.
.
Zhou Jinsi endured the soreness in her waist and abdomen and got up extra early to go home, only to be caught by Lin Qing.
Seeing her guilty look, Lin Qing said in an unreadable tone, “Xiao Si, come to my room and let’s talk about something.”
Inside the room, Lin Qing sat on the bed with her back to her.
It wasn’t until Zhou Jinsi walked over that she calmly took a sip of her coffee.
“Mom…” Zhou Jinsi didn’t dare to look up at her and called out timidly.
Since she was little, her family had doted on her, and she had always been a well-behaved child. The most rebellious thing she had ever done was probably dating Shi Qin, and keeping it a secret for so long.
Zhou Jinsi secretly glanced at Lin Qing’s expression, only to meet her gaze.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Come sit down.” Lin Qing put down her coffee and pulled Zhou Jinsi to her side.
Looking at her daughter’s evasive eyes, Lin Qing sighed softly and asked, “Where did you go last night?”
“Still to that friend’s house? When did you make such a good friend? Tell me about it.”
Her tone was very calm, but Zhou Jinsi was still keenly aware of the displeasure beneath her calmness.
Zhou Jinsi hesitated, wanting to speak but not knowing where to start. She simply lowered her head and pretended to be dead.
Lin Qing didn’t beat around the bush with her either and said directly, “I’ve already had your father ask someone to suppress the trending topic.”
“That matter, is it true?”
Sure enough, it’s come to this.
Zhou Jinsi tried her best to calm her inner unease. After a long silence, she finally mustered the courage to look directly at Lin Qing.
“It’s true.”
With that, she lowered her head again, waiting anxiously for Lin Qing’s reply.
“And then? That’s it? You have nothing to say to me?”
This isn’t the reaction I imagined.
Zhou Jinsi was stunned, then immediately apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry… I…”
She had clearly thought of a lot before, but at this very moment, she was suddenly at a loss for words.
Lin Qing sighed faintly. “Why didn’t you tell your family?”
“I… I was afraid you would be very angry…”
“I am very angry right now.” Lin Qing crossed her arms, a hint of displeasure on her face.
“I’m angry that you lied to us for so long.”
Lin Qing took Zhou Jinsi’s hand and said earnestly, “Xiao Si, Mom and Dad are not very close-minded people. As long as you like her, we will respect you. But the path you’ve chosen now is not an easy one.”
“Also, I’ve learned that she’s an artist at your father’s company. Have you ever thought that she might be approaching you with ulterior motives?”
Zhou Jinsi immediately looked up and denied it. “No, she’s not.”
“She’s not that kind of person. And, we were together in college… it’s just that we broke up later, and now we’re…”
Lin Qing was surprised. “College? Don’t tell me it’s because you broke up that you suddenly wanted to go to graduate school in another city?”
“That’s also part of the reason…”
Lin Qing took a sharp breath, trying her best to calm her surging emotions.
Seeing that her expression had improved, Zhou Jinsi added, “She, she’s also Auntie Jiang’s relative… Auntie Jiang also knows about our relationship…”
“Relative?” Lin Qing was surprised again.
Could it really be some kind of fate?
Jiang Nuo had been with Zhou Lin for so many years. She hadn’t left even during the company’s difficult times. Lin Qing naturally trusted her.
After thinking for a long moment, Lin Qing finally waved her hand and compromised, “Let’s not talk about this for now. When I have time, I’ll talk to your Auntie Jiang again.”
If someone wants to enter her Zhou family’s door, whether it’s a man or a woman, she has to investigate. What if her precious daughter is deceived?
These young people’s affairs were so worrying. Lin Qing’s brain was too lazy to hold so many things. She glanced at the time; she still had a spa appointment to go to.
Before leaving, she told Zhou Jinsi that Shi Qin’s name was still trending. If she needed help, she could call Zhou Lin.
Although she didn’t know Shi Qin yet, and hadn’t judged her character, she was, after all, her own daughter’s person. That meant she was connected to the Zhou family, and she naturally wouldn’t sit by and do nothing.
Hearing this, Zhou Jinsi immediately contacted Jiang Nuo and asked her about the current situation online.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Si. You can go and take a look now. The public opinion has already started to turn.”
Listening to Jiang Nuo’s words, Zhou Jinsi immediately opened Weibo.
She saw that the original top trending topic had now been replaced by Shi Qin’s recording.
Just now, Shi Qin had released two recordings on Weibo. Their content instantly caused an uproar among netizens, a complete sensation.
