Chapter 62 Did You Spy on Me? (1/2)
Summer vacation would begin tomorrow. But Xin Qing had no intention to go home at all. What Chen Ming said in the afternoon had been resounding in her head. She had no means to get rid of it.
She idled the afternoon away in the dormitory. Shi Qianqian and Zhang Mi were already gone. When it was getting dark, she packed up her stuff slowly and returned to the Ying's. It was totally dark when she got home. Villas at the top of the mountain were far away from each other. The stars shone on the pieces of forest scattered among them, quiet and deep.
No matter how hard she wanted to escape, here she was, in front of the house. It was completely dark inside the villa. Standing beside the car, Xin Qing wanted to ask Ah Che what happened, but the car left quickly before she opened her mouth. She had to walked in by herself and turned on the lights in the yard. When she was in the hall, she noticed a faint light from the garden in the back.
Normally, Le Le would run over at the sound of her. But it was nowhere to be found now. Xin Qing immediately thought that someone must have broken in. But she quickly gave up this stupid idea. The faint light suddenly flashed. Xin Qing was already standing in the garden. She could vaguely see a figure sitting over there.
She moved forward with quick steps and was then relieved. ”Ying Qingcang! You scared the hell out of me. Why don't you...” Xin Qing stopped abruptly when she saw her notebook in his hands.
”You read all of it?” She asked. She couldn't believe how calm sha was right now.
Ying Qingcang's handsome face showed no emotion under the dim light. There was only his deep voice, ”Yes. Are you going to accuse me of invading your privacy again?”
Xin Qing felt relieved instead. If Ying Qingcang had read her journal, he would understand her confusion for the future and the weakness and helplessness in her heart.
”It doesn't matter now!” She asked in a low voice, ”What about you? What are you going to do with me?”
Ying Qingcang stood up and approached her, his breath scattered on her forehead. ”Why don't you ever tell me? I've told you I never liked anyone before, so there might be something that I don't know. If you don't trust me, why don't you ask me?”
”I...” Xin Qing could say nothing.
”Do you know what you said to Chen Ming today made me really scared?” Ying Qingcang suddenly said.
Xin Qing looked up in shock, asking, ”How do you know?”
”I didn't send anyone to spy on you. It was Young Master Shen. He was having lunch there, sitting not far away from you. He told me what you said in the end.”
Xin Qing's voice faltered, ”I... I said nothing. I didn't say I want to leave you...”
”Yes. Because we have an agreement. Because we both have the tattoos. Because we have an agreement about the full-moon nights at the beginning.” Ying Qingcang's eyes were as dark as the sky above. ”Qingqing, you mentioned all the reasons for staying with me, except that you like me and you love me!”
Ying Qingcang's image turned blurry before her. She rubbed her eyes with the hands and felt some moisture.
”Qingqing, I don't need an alliance through marriage. I'll only marry the woman I love and the only woman I love is you!” Ying Qingcang wrapped her in his arms carefully, as if he was holding a thin porcelain, which was easily broken with a little force. ”I understand all your worry and fear. I'm the one to blame. I didn't do enough and give you the strength to trust me.”
”It's not... It's not true.” Xin Qing shook her head with a sob, ”It was me who always worry and think too much. I'm not determined enough and am easily disturbed by others.”
Ying Qingcang carried her and sat on the swing. He wiped out her tears and said, ”Now, I'm seriously telling you that I will marry you and you can only marry me. Don't care about what others say anymore. They're not me, and I'm not them. I can do what they cannot. Do you understand?”
”Eh, eh, eh...” Xin Qing bit her lips and kept nodding. Ying Qingcang put a kiss down her lips to stop her from piercing them and gradually licked off all her tears.
”To punish you for not trusting me. Let's do it on the swing today.” Ying Qingcang bit her earlobe, his husky voice full of temptation. Her skin was quickly exposed in the air, brighter and smoother in the dark night.
Like a small boat sailed by Ying Qingcang, Xin Qing was thrown to the surface of the sea in scream and then dragged down to the bottom, again and again.
In the empty garden, the low scream resounded in the dark night without stop, lasting for a long time.
When Xin Qing woke up, she was already back in her bedroom, held tightly by Ying Qingcang. She moved a little and Ying Qingcang was awakened. Before she had time to speak, he rolled over and she passed out again.
When she opened her eyes again, her throat was burning. A man's voice appeared, ”You screamed a lot. Take some water.”
Xin Qing didn't have the strength to roll her eyes to him. They both knew who was to blame.
She sipped some water and leaned weakly against the headboard. Ying Qingcang was already in his comfortable home dress. He went downstairs and came back later with a tray. There were two bowls of porridge, several steamed stuffed bun and two plates of dish.
When the two fed themselves, Ying Qingcang climbed into bed again. Xin Qing stared at him with caution, preparing to kick him out of bed if he dared to take off her clothes again.
”Don't move. I have something to say.” Ying Qingcang pressed her kicking legs under his body and folded her in his arms, saying, ”Aren't you interested in what kind of favor I owe Monica, and how I got the scars on my back?”
Xin Qing's eyes shone a little and remained still in his arms.
