Psst! We're moving!
This act of passion came unexpectedly, was quick, and utterly wild.
After the initial fervor subsided, they remembered they were in the middle of nowhere.
It was terrifying!
Chu Ning endured her body’s discomfort, put on her clothes neatly, and finally sat on the ground, feeling dazed.
Afraid she was cold, Ying Jing put his jacket over her shoulders. “What’s wrong?”
Chu Ning turned her face and looked at him faintly.
Ying Jing smiled. “Don’t you recognize me?”
Chu Ning shook her head, saying something she had wanted to exclaim for a while, “You men, your bodies are so hot.”
“Right? I don’t know about others, but I’ve exercised since I was young, so my physique is pretty good.” He paused, then directly sought confirmation: “Isn’t it?”
Chu Ning pursed her lips, rubbed her lower abdomen, and said, “It’s not very comfortable.”
Ying Jing looked up at the sky. “Okay, I’ll try harder next time.”
Chu Ning chuckled, nudged him with her elbow. “How do you ‘try harder’ with this kind of thing?”
“Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen a pig run, let alone now that I’m someone who has eaten pork.”
Chu Ning raised her fist and punched him, scolding furiously: “Who’s the pork, huh? Tell me!”
Ying Jing feigned dodging, and the two laughed and played together. They looked at each other, grew quiet, and then naturally hugged again.
Chu Ning listened to his heartbeat, looking at the mountains and rivers, which strangely merged into one. She closed her eyes, hugging him tighter.
Ying Jing tilted his head and pressed a deep kiss on her forehead.
Chu Ning couldn’t stay out enjoying herself for too long; if she didn’t return to Beijing soon, Wei Qilin would fire her. Ying Jing still had two days left here. He wanted to ask for leave, but Chu Ning wouldn’t let him.
“This kind of opportunity is so rare. You stay here and learn properly. I have to go, there’s a pile of things waiting for me in Beijing.” Chu Ning was packing her luggage, bending over, revealing a small section of her fair lower back, where there were still red marks from his grip.
Ying Jing didn’t insist anymore. After she finished packing, he walked over. “Let me do it.”
Then he zipped up the suitcase and moved it to the corner.
“When you come back, I’ll pick you up at the airport,” Chu Ning reassured him.
“No need for that,” Ying Jing straightened up, dusting his hands. “I need to go home.”
“Xingcheng?”
“Mm.”
Chu Ning didn’t ask further.
Ying Jing: “Don’t you want to know why I’m going back?”
Glancing at him, Chu Ning raised an eyebrow: “To go back and drink milk?”
Ying Jing scoffed. “I have you now, what milk would I drink?”
A faint smile hung on his face, his eyes full of mischief. Chu Ning bit her lip, slowly backing away. Seeing no escape, she quickly moved forward, but Ying Jing reacted even faster, directly wrapping his arms around her waist, spinning her half a circle, and they both fell onto the bed.
Chu Ning giggled, pushing against his chest. “So heavy.”
Ying Jing kissed her again and again. Gradually, neither of them could control their breathing. Chu Ning wrapped her arms around his neck, entwining with him. Unlike the tension and shyness in the wilderness that afternoon, this time, it was much more natural and skillful.
Ying Jing knew her most sensitive spots, and what intensity moved her most. From boy to man, maturity and transformation are always sudden. His young body was like a flame, with inexhaustible energy. Chu Ning whimpered, her fingers spread open, uncontrollably burying themselves in his hair.
That night, they forgot the time, and even the number of times.
They only knew that in the latter half of the night, they ran out of condoms, so Ying Jing went downstairs to buy more. When he returned, the plastic bag in his hand rustled impatiently. Chu Ning took one out and saw it was a bulk pack, twelve plus two free.
Ying Jing pressed down on her, his breathing heavy, hastily explaining: “Conditions are limited, there’s nothing better here. After we go back, how about we try them all?”
Try all your head.
Chu Ning felt his slightly protruding tailbone and cursed weakly, “This is the last time, okay?”
Ying Jing pursed his lips. “Are you uncomfortable?”
Without waiting for her reply, he answered his own question: “I saw you shiver several times.”
Chu Ning’s face was hot. She spat, twisting his firm arm fiercely: “Aren’t you ashamed!”
Ying Jing shamelessly blocked her mouth, speaking with extreme tenderness: “Chu Ning, being able to make you happy, I’m truly delighted.”
________________________________________
The next morning, Chu Ning didn’t let Ying Jing take more leave. She asked Brother Ren to find a Tibetan minivan, and left for Kangding at five in the morning. With a flight at past noon, Chu Ning sent Ying Jing a text message before boarding, then turned off her phone and got on the plane.
Two hours later, Beijing.
Chu Ning exited the corridor, stunned by the bustling airport. She had only been away for so little time, yet she felt like she was in two different worlds. It took her a long time to recover. Just as she was about to hail a taxi, Feng Ziyang’s call came in.
Seeing his name pop up, Chu Ning was quite surprised. “Oh, my dear old friend, was your trip to France pleasant?”
Feng Ziyang still had that optimistic spirit. “Is that how a friend talks, always mocking me?”
Chu Ning curved her lips. “What’s up?”
“Nothing, just to let you know, I’m back in the country. I brought you a gift from Paris, limited edition perfume. I’ve already opened and smelled them all for you. The green bottle smells the best.”
“The gift hasn’t even arrived yet, and you’ve already opened it for me. Well, thanks,” Chu Ning said. “I’ll treat you to a meal in the next couple of days, I’ll let you know.”
Just as she was about to hang up, Feng Ziyang stopped her: “Hey, Ning’er, one more thing.”
“Mm? Go ahead.”
There was some hesitation on his end, he organized his words, then mused, “Have you been in touch with Guan Yu recently?”
“Guan Yu? Yes, last week, I asked her out for dinner, and she said she didn’t have time. Why?”
This time the pause was a little longer.
Feng Ziyang suddenly said, “She asked me to borrow money a while ago.”
Chu Ning hummed, not too surprised. “Does she need to cover her stock margins again?”
Feng Ziyang was alert. “Has she borrowed from you too?”
“Not much, a hundred thousand a month ago,” Chu Ning casually asked, “How much did she ask you for?”
After a moment, “Five hundred thousand.”
This amount still startled Chu Ning.
Five hundred thousand was just a number to Feng Ziyang. He had grown up in a golden cradle, a young master from the Feng family, and his spending habits weren’t modest. He was always particular about his wardrobe, not to mention other things. But five hundred thousand, a six-figure sum, was a huge amount for an ordinary person. Guan Yu had no worries about food or clothing, a pampered little princess; what did she need that money for?
Chu Ning subconsciously asked, “Did she get scammed by a pyramid scheme?”
Feng Ziyang laughed. “Clever.”
He then clarified: “I didn’t mean anything else, it’s just that this doesn’t match her usual way of doing things. So I’m asking you, money is a small matter, the person is important. I’m just afraid she has some difficulties she’s too embarrassed to talk about, and might take a wrong turn, which is what truly matters.”
Chu Ning replied, “Okay, I’ll keep it in mind. I’ll ask her another day.”
Feng Ziyang chuckled. “With you handling it, I’m relieved.”
Chu Ning got into a taxi, one hand holding the phone, the other closing the door. “How are things with you and Qin Miao?”
Qin Miao was his little lover, whom he had dated for seven or eight years, broken up and reconciled countless times, loving each other to death like a soap opera. Later, the Feng family disapproved, and the two went underground. Chu Ning was even a cover for this underground relationship.
Feng Ziyang’s end was completely silent, even his breathing suddenly became depressed.
Chu Ning “oh-ed”, realizing her impropriety, and apologized repeatedly: “Pretend I didn’t ask.”
Feng Ziyang, however, suddenly erupted: “Damn it, these ungrateful people, they’re all pushing me to my limit! Everything she eats, uses, wears, which one isn’t the best? She treats me like an ATM. Look at her lazying around at home these past few years, what has she become? More and more unreasonable! Wants to break up? Fine, let’s break up! Heh, then she turns around crying and screaming that she doesn’t want to break up. What does she take me for? And she even dares to threaten me with death. Damn it!”
His roar was too loud, Chu Ning held the phone away from her ear, frowning.
After venting, Feng Ziyang hung up the phone.
Chu Ning rubbed the screen, her heart a mix of emotions. Just then, her phone dinged, a WeChat message.
“I’m done! Did you arrive in Beijing?”
“I can come back tomorrow, earlier than planned! Another day sooner to see you!”
“Oh, by the way, there’s a package being sent to your place in the next couple of days, remember to sign for it.”
“I miss you so damn much! [kisses] [kisses] [drooling] [drooling]~”
This person’s enthusiasm and vitality could be felt across the screen.
Her previous gloomy mood was instantly dispelled. Chu Ning held her phone, smiling, and replied: “A package, what did you buy?”
Ying Jing replied with three emojis: “[mighty] [mighty] [mighty]~”
Chu Ning laughed, holding her phone and smiling.
________________________________________
Ying Jing returned to Beijing the next day, but he didn’t go straight to school. Instead, he took a bus directly from the airport to the high-speed rail station and returned to Xingcheng.
The guards at the entrance of the Army General Hospital seemed to have a new batch. Ying Jing was stopped when he entered. They asked for his name, age, ID number, and whom he was looking for.
The young soldier was meticulous, about his age, with an upright gaze and an air of righteousness.
Ying Jing understood the rules, answering whatever was asked. He pulled out his ID and handed it over. The home address written on it was this very place. The young soldier understood, looking a bit embarrassed. He put down his rifle and said, “Sorry, I just started recently, and I haven’t seen you around.”
Ying Jing quickly said, “No need to apologize, it’s my fault. I’m studying out of town, so I don’t come back often.” He was always amiable and liked to make friends. In one glance, two sentences, he could tell if their temperaments matched.
Quite to his liking, he smiled at the young soldier, flashing his white teeth. “When do you change shifts?”
The soldier was momentarily stunned. “Huh? Oh, five o’clock.”
“See you at the basketball court at five-thirty, I’ll challenge you to half a game.” Ying Jing pointed to the right. “Don’t go to the wrong place, the court on the west side.”
The young soldier’s eyes sparkled, and he stood at attention. “Yes!”
Ying Jing pushed his suitcase, humming a tune as he walked away.
At home, Cui Jingshu had already been busy preparing all of Ying Jing’s favorite dishes. The plates and bowls were round and square, arranged on the dining table, looking like the work of a meticulous hostess who cared about every detail of life.
Ying Jing looked like a migrant worker returning home, carrying large and small bags, and he was tanned dark.
He entered the door, and Cui Jingshu was just coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of fish soup. She looked up and was startled: “Wow! Young man, who are you looking for?”
Ying Jing smiled: “I’m looking for my mom, and you look a bit like her.” Then he took the fish soup from her hand, leaned closer, and winked: “Why don’t you just pretend to be my mom?”
Cui Jingshu was amused. “Naughty.”
“Where’s my dad?” Ying Jing placed the soup down, then leaned on the table, picking at the dishes with his hands, eating deliciously.
Footsteps sounded from downstairs, and Ying Yizhang’s stern voice cut in: “Is there no manners? Don’t use your hands!”
Ying Jing quickly stood up, straight as a rod, and bowed to him: “Yes, sir!”
Ying Yizhang’s expression softened. This son of his was always so mischievous.
Five dishes and one soup, the family sat down to eat.
Ying Jing was starving and finished a bowl of rice in no time. “When is my sister coming back?”
“She’s pregnant, and she’s being lazy, staying at home. Your brother-in-law happens to be on leave during this time and is taking care of her at home.”
Cui Jingshu put a piece of braised pork into his bowl, then slapped away Ying Yizhang’s chopsticks when he reached for it. “Old Ying, you can’t eat anymore. Your blood pressure has been unstable these past two days, be careful.”
Ying Yizhang obediently stared at the bowl of meat, quite reluctant, and finally instructed Ying Jing: “Don’t come home often if there’s nothing wrong.”
Ying Jing: “?”
“Every time you come back, your mom makes all kinds of meat, and I can’t eat it.”
Oh, he’s getting angry now.
Cui Jingshu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, alright, you eat, two pieces at most.”
“Three pieces,” Ying Yizhang bargained.
Before his mother could speak, Ying Jing decisively picked up the piece of meat from his own bowl and put it in his father’s. “Deal!”
These two...
Cui Jingshu stirred the greens, shaking her head. “They’re just born to torment me.”
The family was harmonious, and the meal was full of life.
Ying Yizhang asked about his trip to Sichuan-Tibet. Ying Jing’s logical thinking was strong, and he kept everything he had done in his mind, categorized and clear. When he answered, the content was rich, and it was clear he had studied diligently and not wasted the opportunity.
Ying Yizhang was also meticulous, occasionally offering a few pointers, and then asked, “What are your plans next?”
Ying Jing said, “I want to develop our current virtual simulation technology in a more precise and specialized direction. I want to focus on the simulation and construction of aero-engines. This is a difficult point in the industry, but also an opportunity.”
Ying Yizhang didn’t ask much; as long as he had a direction and ideas, the person wouldn’t be bad.
As for whether he would succeed, endure hardship, or persevere, that needed time to verify.
Can’t rush it.
The topic came to a close, followed by a brief silence.
After five bowls of rice, Ying Jing was mostly full. He put down his chopsticks and said solemnly, “Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you.”
This stance made it impossible not to take him seriously.
Cui Jingshu looked at him, slightly nervous. “What’s wrong?”
Ying Jing: “I have a girlfriend.”
Oh~ So that’s what it was.
Cui Jingshu and Ying Yizhang were not surprised. At twenty-something, full of vigor, it would be strange if he wasn’t dating.
Cui Jingshu relaxed, chatting easily: “Is your girlfriend a classmate?”
“No,” Ying Jing said. “You’ve met her.”
“Met?” Cui Jingshu thought carefully, but couldn’t recall.
“It’s Chu Ning.”
A definitive statement.
The atmosphere froze.
Ying Yizhang was unmoved, showing no reaction. But Cui Jingshu’s eyebrows furrowed. “Is it President Ning? Isn’t she the investor for your project?”
She thought deeper, suddenly becoming nervous. “Xiao Jing, do you have something you can’t say? The project is indeed important, but you can’t sacrifice more important qualities for these things!”
Her words were clear, righteous, and extremely serious.
Those words were too “societal.” Before Ying Jing could protest, Ying Yizhang was already displeased and coughed. “What are you saying? This kind of principled issue, I believe Xiao Jing can handle.”
Ying Jing also found it exaggerated: “Mom, you wouldn’t think I’d sell myself out to get funding, would you?!”
Cui Jingshu patted her head. “I’m just... anxious.”
“Chu Ning and I are mutually consenting. We truly like each other, with absolutely no other intentions.” Ying Jing straightened his back, his gaze sincere.
“But, but she,” Cui Jingshu couldn’t fully digest it, a belly full of thoughts, but didn’t know where to start. Finally, she whispered: “...But she’s older than you, isn’t she?”
“What’s wrong with being older than me? She’s eaten a few more years of rice. For her to be my girlfriend, she’s actually losing out!” Ying Jing retorted.
Cui Jingshu was exasperated by his skewed logic. “I just asked a question, why are you so agitated?”
Ying Jing’s stance was particularly firm: “You’re an intellectual, how can you still have such old-fashioned views? You’re not cute at all. And I don’t like bringing up a woman’s age. It’s fine if you say it in front of me, but in front of Chu Ning later, you’re not allowed to mention a single word!”
Seeing his strong reaction, they must have argued about this before.
Cui Jingshu didn’t say anything more, but her expression was still uneasy. She exchanged glances with her husband, implying: You, as his father, say something!
“Let me make something clear to you two first. One, it’s out of respect for you. Two, I’ll bring Chu Ning to our home officially in a while. You’re not allowed to act surprised, and you’re not allowed to make her feel embarrassed.”
Ying Yizhang finally spoke: “What’s the rush, what’s the rush? You’re rattling on like you’re reciting a text. Your mother is asking out of concern, what’s wrong with a few more questions? Xiao Jing, put yourself in their shoes, you can’t talk to elders like that.”
Ying Jing puffed out his cheeks and nodded. “Okay.”
He admitted his mistake quickly and didn’t hold a grudge. Ying Yizhang’s expression then softened, and he asked, “So, what are your thoughts?”
Ying Jing replied, “I want to get married after graduation.”
Cui Jingshu’s heart almost leaped out. “You, you!”
Ying Yizhang was also stunned, but he quickly calmed down, picking up a piece of green vegetable leaf with his chopsticks, slowly stirring it as if playing tai chi.
Ying Jing understood their thoughts and said blandly, “This is just my unilateral idea. She might not even be willing to marry me.”
The old couple exchanged glances and also calmed down.
Ying Yizhang nodded, indicating he understood the matter, and said earnestly, “You’re an adult. Make your own decisions. Your father has only one requirement: a man must have a sense of responsibility. Since you’ve reached this point with this girl, treat her well. Regardless of the outcome, the process must be clear to your conscience. Do you understand?”
Ying Jing lifted his chin, determined: “Yes! Commander!”
“You little rascal. Frivolous!” Ying Yizhang was proper and principled, but his vision was broad and his mind open. He was the helmsman of the family, having handled countless public opinion crises and political decisions. He had courage and a profound outlook.
When the roots are strong, the sapling will naturally flourish.
“In the future, when you go to Chu Ning’s house, be sure not to be so reckless and make her parents laugh!” Ying Yizhang reminded. “Before you go, let me know and prepare some decent gifts.”
Cui Jingshu hesitated to speak, but considering her son, she suppressed her uneasiness and nodded. “Okay, as long as you know what you’re doing.”
________________________________________
At the same time in Beijing.
In the evening, the sunset painted half the sky red. On her way home, Chu Ning deliberately pulled over, rolled down the window, and quietly enjoyed the beautiful scenery for a while. Then she took out her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Ying Jing.
She waited a few minutes, but he didn’t reply. He was on the basketball court playing with the young soldier.
His muscles were firm, he was young, enthusiastic, and excited.
Here, Chu Ning parked her car, went to the locker to pick up a package. It was a square cardboard box, somewhat heavy. She wondered what Ying Jing had bought. Chu Ning carried it home, took a shower, and then slowly opened the package.
She slit it open with a small knife.
She was shocked.
A whole box of condoms!
Ribbed, dotted, studded, what “bold love,” “vibrant love,” “irresistible love”...
All kinds, Chu Ning’s eyes were swimming.
She dug further down... Whoa! What in the world is this?!
Chu Ning took them out, holding two pink... eggs?
Soft, bouncy, squishy, and with batteries.
Chu Ning’s hands were practically on fire. She wordlessly picked up her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Ying Jing on WeChat, asking: “Comrade Xiao Ying, what on earth is this?”
The reply came an hour later—
“[lustful] [drooling] [lustful] [drooling]... Merchant freebies, oh my god, I’m going to give him a thousand-word positive review!!”
Chu Ning: “...”
