Chapter 230 – Rainy day (2/2)
The water sounds from the bathroom stopped, and Xie Huilan shouted from inside. “Xiao Dong, help me get a set of clothes from my wardrobe. Pajamas or suits are fine. Oh, don’t forget my underwear too.”
“Ok. Please wait a while.”
“Thank you.”
Dong Xuebing rubbed his palms excitedly and entered Sister Xie’s room. While choosing the clothing, Dong Xuebing remembered that he had never seen Xie Huilan wearing skirts. She is always in suits and looks like she does not have other clothing. He searched for her wardrobe and noticed there are five sets of suits and a few office dresses. Most of her clothes are either black, white, or dark colors.
This will do!
Dong Xuebing picked a dark brown dress and a set of black underwear and stockings.
“Sister Xie, I got your clothes. Please open the door.” Dong Xuebing stood outside the bathroom with the clothes.
The door opened, and Dong Xuebing could smell shampoo fragrance from inside. Xie Huilan was standing naked in front of him, without trying to cover herself up. She smiled and took the clothes from Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing was curious why Sister Xie is not shy like other women.
Dong Xuebing pretended not to look at her, but his heart was racing.
Very soon, Xie Huilan walked out of the bathroom in an office dress. “Hehe… it’s been a while since I wore a dress.”
Dong Xuebing looked at her in a daze. “Sister Xie… why… why are you so pretty?”
Xie Huilan laughed. “Really?”
“Yes. You are beautiful beyond words.”
“Haha… Thank you.”
Dong Xuebing turned around and took out the bouquet of roses he had hidden. “This is for you.”
Xie Huilan was surprised as she looked at the roses and the candles on the table. She smiled and accepted it. “You prepared all these? Thank you.”
“I will start cooking?”
“Ok. Let me help you.”
“No need. You should be tired. Go and watch TV.”
About 20 minutes later, Dong Xuebing brought out a few plates of dishes from the kitchen, and he opened the bottle of red wine.
Xie Huilan had a smile on her face and was looking at Dong Xuebing. She seemed to be in a good mood and was swirling her wine.
Dong Xuebing raised his wineglass and said. “Let’s have a toast to celebrate… err… what should we celebrate? Let me think…”
Xie Huilan laughed and knocked his glass. “Celebrate, I have found a good man.”
Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed. “Sister Xie, stop poking fun at me. How can I be considered a good man?” In his heart, Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. All his efforts this afternoon was not wasted. After drinking the wine, Dong Xuebing start to put the food into her bowl. “I had wanted to prepare western cuisine for a candlelight dinner with you. But I don’t know how to cook that, and it’s inconvenient to order takeout. So, please bear with these few Chinese dishes.”
Xie Huilan ate a piece of meat and nodded. “Taste good.”
“Have more… here… try this…”
After dinner, both sat down on the leather sofa in the living room. The TV is showing a violin performance, and Xie Huilan was watching attentively. Dong Xuebing was not cultured like her, and it felt like he was listening to the leaders’ speech. The more he listened, he sleepier he got. Suddenly, he remembered that he must take the initiative today. That’s right. He must hold Sister Xie’s hand today.
Dong Xuebing! This is a test of your courage!
Dong Xuebing mustered up his courage and started moving his left hand slowly towards his left side.
But before Dong Xuebing’s hand could reach the target, a warm hand grabbed it suddenly. Dong Xuebing was shocked and realized Xie Huilan was holding his hand. Xie Huilan’s eyes were still glued to the TV and holding Dong Xuebing’s hand. Her fingers were caressing Dong Xuebing’s hand slowly.
They had finally held hands.
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed and tightened his grip on Xie Huilan’s hand.
Xie Huilan was playing with Dong Xuebing’s fingers at a rhythm. It’s like she is examining an antique.
Dong Xuebing got bolder after they held hands and was no longer satisfied with just holding hands. He released Xie Huilan’s hand and moved his hand towards her thigh.
Xie Huilan took a glance at Dong Xuebing and did not say a word.
Dong Xuebing looked at her and rested his palm on her thigh.
Xie Huilan smiled and continued watching TV.
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed and felt his relationship with Sister Xie had reached another level. This is the feeling of being in a relationship. He continued to rub his palm against her thigh.
Xie Huilan smiled and asked. “Hehe, is there anything dirty on my leg?”
Dong Xuebing was surprised and did not expect this question from her. “Nothing…”
Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing from the corner of her eyes. “Really? Why do you keep rubbing my thigh then?”
“Err… errr… nothing…”
“Haha… you…” Xie Huilan laughed and straightened her dress. “I am going to the bathroom.”
Dong Xuebing thought Xie Huilan was angry and quickly removed his hand from her leg.
After a while, Xie Huilan returned from the bathroom with a small black plastic bag. She sat beside Dong Xuebing and passed the plastic bag to him with a smile. “Throw it away after you use it, or you can return it to me after it is washed.”
Dong Xuebing doesn’t understand what Xie Huilan was talking about.
Use? Use what? Wash it?
Dong Xuebing looked inside the plastic bag and was stunned. No words could describe his facial expression. It’s the bra and stocking Dong Xuebing had picked for Xie Huilan earlier. She had taken it off and gave it to Dong Xuebing!
Damn!
Dong Xuebing quickly returns the bag to Xie Huilan. “Sister Xie, why are you giving me this? Take it back…” He knew why Sister Xie had given him her worn stockings. It is because of that incident in Beijing!
Xie Huilan laughed. “Hahaha… it’s good that you don’t need it. The clothes I wore before will get dirty, and it’s not hygienic if you use it.”
“Ah…!” Dong Xuebing made a stop gesture. “Change to another topic!”
Dong Xuebing finally realized that Sister Xie has thicker skin than him!
