Chapter 45 - I Have Hands (1/2)
”Say what you want to say.” Xin Qing said deliberately.
Ying Qingcang looked at her: ”Nothing, I just ate too much for dinner.”
If he said that it's a full moon tonight, would Xin Qing think that he had brought her along to the cemetery with a purpose in mind? Would she still be grateful to him? When he thought that Xin Qing would look at him sorrowfully, Ying Qingcang's heart throbbed painfully.
”Then I'll go sleep first.” Xin Qing stood up and was about to go upstairs. Her phone suddenly rang. After looking at the caller ID, Xin Qing intended to answer the phone upstairs, but when she saw Ying Qingcang's gaze, she hesitated for a moment and then stood at her original spot to pick up the phone.
”Hello, Chen Ming!”
”Happy New Year to you too. Say hello to your parents for me.”
”Tomorrow night? Wait a moment,” Xin Qing turned to Ying Qingcang and asked: ”Can I go to Chen Ming's house for dinner tomorrow night?”
Ying Qingcang had been feeling unwell ever since he heard Chen Ming's name, but now that Xin Qing asked him, he somehow felt much better. He nodded to Xin Qing: ”Don't come back too late. You're just recovered.”
”En!” Xin Qing smiled at him, then said to the phone, ”Sure. No, no need, I'll go over myself. Alright, see you tomorrow!”
After hanging up the phone, Xin Qing headed upstairs. Seeing Ying Qingcang still walking in circles, she smiled and asked him, ”Why aren't you going up to sleep?”
”I'll go up later. You go sleep first.” Ying Qingcang suddenly remembered that the doctor said that Xin Qing would not be able to get laid for at least ten days. He would definitely not ignore her body conditions as he did before.
Ying Qingcang finally returned to his room and absent-mindedly showered. When he came out from the bathroom, he was stunned by what he saw.
Xin Qing sat on a side of the bed and waved at him: ”Come over here”.
For the first time, Boss Ying felt that he was not smart enough. He could barely keep himself from stuttering, ”Xin Qing, what are you doing?”
”Full moon night, I remember.” Xin Qing shrugged.
Ying Qingcang was surprised and happy. He was happy that Xin Qing was still willing to let him touch her, but he also felt hesitant that he couldn't touch her now. What should he do? ...
Xin Qing pulled him over, raised her hand and said determinedly: ”Don't talk! Otherwise, I will regret it.”
After an unknown amount of time, she heard Ying Qingcang groan.
Both of them were stunned. Xin Qing stood up and ran back to her own room, while Ying Qingcang kept thinking of how Xin Qing had blushed just now. He closed his eyes, shook his head, and went into the bathroom.
The next day, Xin Qing didn't dare to go downstairs. She was too embarrassed to see Ying Qingcang. Moreover, she had suddenly realized in the middle of the night, this didn't work at all! It was no use to use her hands. The words of Ying's ancestors were very clear, they had to have real sex. Otherwise, Ying's family would suffer terrible consequences, with the family broken up and decimated.
Using hands didn't count for sure. Xin Qing found herself too stupid to give Ying Qingcang a special service for no good reason. Ying Qingcang, on the other hand, had a face brimming with happiness; this kind of happy mood lasted all the way until the afternoon.
”I'll take you there.” He looked at Xin Qing who was preparing to leave. She was wearing a red Tang suit with her hair tied up, a pair of pearl earrings hung from her beautiful ears. How beautiful she is! But not for me. Ying Qingcang felt jealous in his heart.
Xin Qing did refuse him, for there were no taxis outside at all. Along the way, Ying Qingcang kept telling her not to drink and not to eat spicy food. Reaching Chen Ming's house, Ying Qingcang helped her open the car door and said: ”I'll come pick you up at 9 o'clock.”
”Alright!” Xin Qing nodded, it was not appropriate to stay too late.
Ying Qingcang went home alone, but found that the place was empty. He had never felt this way before. He was originally a person who enjoyed peace and quiet, but now he felt that this tranquility was too lonely.
So he slowly walked to Xin Qing's room, looked at the bed she had slept on, looked at the books she had read, and even found a notebook in her drawer. Unintentionally, he flipped it open and realized that it was Xin Qing's diary. He originally wanted to put it back, but the two words ”Chen Ming” on the page made him keep reading it. As he read the diary, his heart became heavier and heavier...
”Leaving so early? Is Ying Qingcang here to pick you up?” Chen Ming asked Xin Qing as he walked her downstairs. Xin Qing nodded, ”It's getting late, we will need more than an hour to get back!”
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Don't mind what my parents just said, they're too old and they said too much.”
”Not at all. Auntie and uncle are right.” Xin Qing did not mind. At dinner time, Chen Ming's parents clearly hinted to her that the wife Chen Ming would marry in the future would definitely be a political figure or a woman that could bring him benefits. A female student like her definitely wouldn't do. Xin Qing understood them, just felt a little sad in her heart.
When she was young, Chen Ming's parents would often tease her to be their daughter-in-law. At that time, she was also simple and felt that she would be Chen Ming's wife in the future. Now that they had grown up, they knew that these were all words spoken by a child. Even the attitude of the two elders had changed.
”Xin Qing!” Chen Ming suddenly called out to her.
Xin Qing was looking towards the door to see if Ying Qingcang had come over. Having heard Chen Ming's voice, she turned around: ”Yes?”
”I have something to told you.” Chen Ming moved two steps closer to her and stared at her in a meaningful manner.
Xin Qing was scared by the seriousness in his eyes: ”Why are you so serious? What's up? I'm listening!”
”Leave Ying Qingcang.” Chen Ming slowly said, ”No matter what relationship between you and him is, I want you leave him. He isn't suitable for you.”
Xin Qing panicked a little at that moment: ”Chen Ming, I... You won't understand.”
