Volume 1 Chapter 28: To the Beach

TL: flarewk

”That's it then....I'm tired, so I'll head back first, alright?” I yawned widely, for my eyes were like filled with lead to the point of almost being unable to open it.

”All right, what time do we go tomorrow?”

”8 o'clock in the morning, just knock onto my door at around 7.30 plus will do, oh right...Xiao Ling, just now those stuffs that you mentioned were fakes, right? They were toys, right...?”

”Mufufufu~ if Jian ge says so then it'll be so~”

I had a feeling that it might be the real deal.....but it's not really possible as well.....as those stuffs at the back were military-grade weaponry, so Xiao Ling must definitely be bluffing me....yup, it must be!

Once again returning back to my comfortable bed, the moment I've laid down the phone started to ring.

”h.e.l.lo, who is this?”

I took a look at the caller ID, but it's a unknown number that I didn't recognize.

”It's me.....Ma Qing Xue....”

I really had no idea how she managed to obtain my new mobile phone number.

”Oh, if there's anything then quickly say it then, I'm going to sleep..”

”I....I can't sleep, so I want to find someone to talk to...”

”Aren't we going to the beach tomorrow? It's quite late already, so hurry up and sleep as well.”

”But I can't really can't sleep, so what should I do right now!”

Ma Qing Xue's voice actually had a little bit of wailing in it. Huh...if you're unable to sleep, would you really be that depressed?

”Take some.....sleeping pills?”

”I don't want to take some pills! Why not, you sing a lullaby to me~?”

”Me? My singing is completely out of tune, it's better to just forget about it.....”

”Eehhh!! Even if your singing is completely out of tune it's alright; if I can't hear a lullaby....then I can't fall asleep, then if I can't fall asleep then I won't wake up tomorrow....if I can't wake up tomorrow then I'll miss the chance for our honeymoon....if I miss the chance for our honeymoon.....then it's the end of our marriage....then divorce!!”

”I don't want it!!!!!!”

I have no idea what she was fantasizing about earlier, but she suddenly screamed into the phone loudly, which frightened me onto nearly rolling off the bed and onto the floor.

”Sure-sure-sure, sing, I'll sing already alright?”

”Wait, wait, don't sing first....”

”What do you still want.....”

”Recording! Alright you can sing now~”

I took in a deep breath, and let go my world-obliterating-level of melody.

”Sleep now~ sleep now~ my dearest darling.....”

What a shameful feeling.....singing completely out of tune, even to my own ears, I wasn't even singing a lullaby at all, but more like a soul-reaping kind of horrific song! I would be rather shocked if Ma Qing Xue would fall asleep from that!

”Huuu~ shuuuu~ huuuu~ shuuuu”

As I continued singing on, I heard evenly breathing sounds from the phone, Ma Qing Xue actually fell asleep?

Don't tell me that her soul had really been reaped away? She could even fall asleep by this kind of song!

”Anyway, good night.”

I hung up the phone, and ended this short piece of lullaby; it's fin

ally time for me to rest.

So heavy.........

My body felt like it was being squashed by something.....

I managed to force open my eyes, it's already morning; even if there's a case of ghost-bed-haunting*, it couldn't have lasted all the way till right now, in the early morning*.

As my consciousness became clearer and clearer, my brain functions started to function normally; and I can clearly feel that the thing squas.h.i.+ng onto me, is something seemingly warm, and rather soft.....

My hand stretched towards that thing, and I groped it. As I felt that sensation, mm~ it seemed like a human's skin......

Human's skin?

I rapidly tore away my blanket covering me, and lying onto my chest was Xiao Ling, curled up and sleeping.....

The edge of her mouth still had some crystalline traces of saliva, and it dripped into a puddle, wettening my pajamas.

What's even more worse is, this person is actually only wearing a set of strawberries!

It's an early morning right now, and according to what I know, every healthy male comrade right now, will have an uncontrollable natural human body reaction.

I'm doomed, I'm already a criminal, I think it's better for me to surrender myself.....

”Jian ge~ good morninggaaaahhhhh, actually I wanted to wake you up...but I ended up being tired too, so I went back to sleep again~ teehee~”

”How did you manage to come in!!”

”Fēi yán zǒu bì shù!”

(TL: ”The art of flying onto the eaves, and jumping onto the walls!” I preserved the chinese characters as it sounded 'cuter' for Xiao Ling to say that than the english context)

I glanced towards the balcony of the bedroom, and the windows are indeed open....

”Let's not talk about this first, Jian ge can you not use your elbow to poke my stomach? It hurts a little.....”

My elbow? But I didn't use my elbow to poke her at all!

Don't tell me it's.........

I'm about to be sentenced to a death penalty!!

”Cough, cough...Xiao Ling, hurry up and put on your clothes, it's time to get going!”

I hurriedly coaxed her, praying to myself to quickly rid out of this awkward situation as I stretched out both of my hands to try shoo Xiao Ling off the bed.

”Ohh~ ohhh~ Jian ge's both hands were exposed out already, but there's still something poking onto my stomach, Jian ge were you hiding anything inside the bed at all~?”

Damm it......even though she knew about it.

”What does a small child know? Hurry up and go to the living room and wait for me, I'll be done in a moment.”

”It doesn't mean that a small child wouldn't not know about everything, right~? At the very least.....”

Xiao Ling used her elbow to nudge my waist, as her eyes glanced sideways as she smirked wickedly.

Afterwards, she picked up her clothes that were anyhow strewn onto the beside, and ran off towards the living room.

A short while later, I entered into the living room, and Xiao Ling had already put on her clothes, she was also carrying an extremely huge bag that doesn't fit her size at all, and I'm not even sure what's inside that bag in the first place.

”Xiao Ling~ look at you carrying such a huge bag, it must be tiring, right? How about I help you carry it?”

”Mm, thanks Jian ge~ Jian ge is such a gentle and kind person~”

Kind person, huh? Heh heh heh, my plan worked!

I wanted to see what she's actually brought along!

”Sudden inspection! What's this?”

I took out something that looked like a pistol, it's rather heavy....maybe it's the real deal.

”I've accidentally placed some rubbish inside the bag.....”

”And this?”
