Killer Nights
Chapter 92: The Attack on A-Tie
The next morning, Jiang Zhengkai awoke to find A-Jiao still sleeping lazily in his arms. Due to his profession, Jiang Zhengkai had always slept at odd hours when he was younger. This had resulted in him having the habit of not waking up early in the mornings. Usually, it was A-Jiao who woke up first and dragged him out of bed.
Jiang Zhengkai looked at her and felt slightly worried. He reached out towards her forehead. “Honey, are you ill?” He placed his palm on her forehead to gauge her body temperature, but it wasn’t hot to the touch, so she probably didn’t have a fever.
“I’m not getting out of bed!” A-Jiao muttered as she turned and buried her head in Jiang Zhengkai’s chest. “Honey, you have to believe me! I never brought a client back here!”
“Oh!” said Jiang Zhengkai, as a happy smile appeared on his face. So that was why she was upset. Last night, by the time Jiang Zhengkai had returned to the bedroom from the storage room, A-Jiao was already laying down in bed with her back to him. Since she appeared to be asleep, he didn’t want to wake her and ask her what was going on. Rather, he sat in bed and looked over the doc.u.ments Zheng Yueshan had provided him before falling asleep himself.
“It’s true! I swear!” A-Jiao’s head was still buried in Jiang Zhengkai’s chest, and her voice was full of nervousness and unease. Perhaps in her mind, there was some distinction between having s.e.x with a man and spending the night with him.
“Dont’ worry! I only care about your future, not your past,” said Jiang Zhengkai as he lifted her face out from his chest. He saw the glistening of tears lining A-Jiao’s eyelids. “Hehe, are you crying because of this? This isn’t how you used to behave.”
“Hmph! How do you know what I used to be like?” retorted A-Jiao as she blinked her eyes and looked at Jiang Zhengkai’s smiling face. Right now, what A-Jiao needed the most wasn’t consoling or comforting, but an understanding smile from the man she loved, which is exactly what she received.
“Hehe! Do you remember how fierce you were when we first met? ‘Do you want some free services? My house is right around the corner,’” joked Jiang Zhengkai as he did his best impersonation of A-Jiao.
“Why you!” Hearing Jiang Zhengkai’s teasing, A-Jiao sat up on the bed. “Hmph! You just said you don’t care about my past, but then you turn right around and make fun of it!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop! Honey, could you make breakfast? I’m starving!” Jiang Zhengkai also sat up in the bed. He placed his head on A-Jiao’s shoulder and gently landed a kiss on her cheek. Men and women were different, or more accurately speaking, some men were different from other men. For one type of men, even if he knew about his woman’s past, as long as she was willing to say goodbye with that part of her life, then he would not spend any time dwelling on what had transpired in her life before they met. Jiang Zhengkai was that type of man. Deep down inside, he had accepted A-Jiao completely, her present and even her past. He didn’t want those things in the past, things he couldn’t change, to interfere with his newfound happiness. Of course, given his chosen profession, he nevertheless had to constantly face A-Jiao’s past life.
“Hmph! You go starve to death then!” But despite having said that, she happily got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went into the kitchen. “Could you make the bed while I cook, Honey?”
In another apartment, A-Meng was just starting to wake up as well, but Cui Jing was still pa.s.sed out on the bed. Just like Jiang Zhengkai, A-Meng also placed his hand on Cui Jing’s forehead to gauge her body temperature. However, unlike A-Jiao, Cui Jing actually had a fever. Her forehead was quite hot to the touch.
In light of the circ.u.mstances, A-Meng didn’t bother to hesitate. Just like last night, he placed Cui Jing on his shoulder and ran out of his apartment building towards the nearest hospital.
“Honey, are you busy this afternoon?” A-Jiao asked with great expectation as Jiang Zhengkai parked his car outside the preschool’s front entrance. As she climbed out of the car, she said, “I don’t have any afternoon cla.s.ses. You want to go out and play?”
“Sure!” He said. “But I’ll have to check with Commissioner Yao to see if he’ll fire me first.”
“You’re so annoying!” A-Jiao of course knew what Jiang Zhengkai meant. He simply went on a roundabout way of saying that he had to work to do in the afternoon and that the only way for him to skip out on work and spend time with A-Jiao was for Yao Tianyu to relieve him of duty first.
