Chapter 34 Not here, go inside
"that......"
Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Liu Shishi suddenly remembered that she had asked Xu Jingxing to carry Ebo Ya home, which was why his clothes were dirty.
"Let me help you wash."
"No need, I can just shake it myself."
"Let me do it. If I hadn't asked you for help, you wouldn't have gotten your clothes dirty."
"It's really nothing, don't get involved. By the way, where's your laundry detergent?"
"That's the bottle on your left."
Liu Shishi pointed to a bottle on the windowsill next to the sink, "That blue bottle."
"Okay, I'll borrow it for a moment."
After Xu Jingxing finished speaking, he reached out to grab the laundry detergent.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Liu Shishi's tone suddenly became somewhat panicked.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jingxing's outstretched hand hovered in mid-air.
"Don't look up!" Liu Shishi shouted anxiously.
Ok?
Don't look up?
Xu Jingxing's curiosity was immediately piqued.
If she hadn't said anything, he really wouldn't have thought of looking up.
A quick glance upwards revealed a pair of pink cartoon underwear hanging prominently on the rack directly above the sink.
In the very center is a cartoon image of Ultraman fighting a monster.
Seeing Xu Jingxing's gaze drift upwards, Liu Shishi exclaimed "Ah!" and her face flushed red. She hurriedly rushed into the bathroom to pack her things away.
"Watch out, there's water on the ground!"
He was in a hurry to go inside and do laundry when he accidentally kicked over the basin of water that was on the floor.
Xu Jingxing's reminder came too late.
As soon as Liu Shishi stepped in, her foot slipped, and she slid straight toward Xu Jingxing.
Xu Jingxing instinctively reached out to catch her, and Liu Shishi crashed solidly into his arms, the impact causing them to lean against the wall.
Liu Shishi suddenly raised her head and met Xu Jingxing's eyes.
"I'm sorry."
She frantically tried to back away, but her foot slipped again.
"Don't move!"
Xu Jingxing used some force with his arm to steady her.
"The ground is all wet, don't move around."
Liu Shishi froze in his arms, unsure of where to put her hands.
But why does this scene feel so familiar?
"Is this a dream?" Liu Shishi murmured.
"What?"
"N-nothing."
After a few seconds of silence, Liu Shishi slowly moved away from his embrace.
Only after making sure he was standing firmly did he whisper, "Okay, all set."
"Then you go out first, be careful not to slip again," Xu Jingxing gently reminded him.
Her ears turned bright red as she looked towards where the clothes were hanging, her voice barely audible, "You...you close your eyes first."
Xu Jingxing wanted to laugh, but he still obediently closed his eyes.
Liu Shishi turned her back, ripped the clothes off the rack, quickly crumpled them into a ball in her hand, and walked out without looking back.
"You be careful too, okay!"
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Shishi slipped again and was about to fall.
Without thinking, Xu Jingxing hurriedly reached out to steady himself, but his own foot slipped, and he instantly lost his balance.
The two of them fell to the ground together.
The back of his head hit the ground, and the pain made Xu Jingxing's vision go black for a moment, and he felt dizzy.
Something heavy pressed down on my chest, and I almost couldn't catch my breath.
Once the dizziness subsided, he realized that Liu Shishi was lying on top of him.
Xu Jingxing asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Xu Jingxing gasped.
Liu Shishi was not seriously injured. When she fell, Xu Jingxing instinctively pulled her into his arms.
At this moment, she was lying in Xu Jingxing's arms, supporting herself on the floor with her hands, trying to stand up first.
As a result, she lost her balance, her hand slipped, and she fell into Xu Jingxing's arms again.
"No, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Liu Shishi said apologetically.
"It's alright. Don't move, take a break first," Xu Jingxing quickly reassured him.
He took a deep breath and slowly propped himself up on his elbows.
Only after he propped himself up did he realize how awkward their posture was.
Liu Shishi straddled his waist, her T-shirt riding up a lot when she fell, revealing a section of her fair waistline.
What's worse, her sweatpants were soaked with water and clung tightly to her body, their outlines clearly visible.
Liu Shishi clearly realized this as well, her face turning almost red, but in order to steady herself, she had no choice but to wrap her arms around Xu Jingxing's neck.
The two of them were face to face, their noses almost touching, so close that they could feel each other's breath.
too close.
They've gotten so close that they're about to break the safe distance between men and women.
Standing so close, Xu Jingxing saw her eyes flicker, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped when their eyes met.
They seemed to be hesitating about something, or perhaps they were looking forward to something.
"I......"
Just as Xu Jingxing was about to speak, Liu Shishi spoke up before he could.
Let's just pretend that everything today was a dream!
After saying that, she bit her lip, took a deep breath, and then pulled Xu Jingxing's head towards her.
then.
She leaned in and kissed Xu Jingxing.
Xu Jingxing felt a buzzing in his head.
At this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was because he had bumped the back of his head or because of Liu Shishi's sudden kiss that his head was spinning.
In short, my mind is starting to wander.
He felt Liu Shishi's burning passion.
He unconsciously began to respond to her fiercely.
The kiss deepened with each kiss.
Xu Jingxing's hand began to explore upwards from his waist, but Liu Shishi grabbed his arm.
"Not here, come to my room."
Liu Shishi spoke in a low voice, not daring to look Xu Jingxing in the eye.
"good!"
The two of them slowly stood up, both very cautiously.
They were both afraid that if they fell again, it would ruin the ambiguous relationship that had suddenly blossomed.
Steadying himself, Xu Jingxing took Liu Shishi's hand and walked towards the bedroom.
"Tap tap tap~ tap-tap—"
Just as Xu Jingxing stepped into the living room, his cell phone rang.
Liu Shishi was startled and quickly turned to look at Ebo Ya, who was sleeping on the sofa behind her. Seeing that Ebo Ya didn't react, she relaxed and then said to Xu Jingxing:
"You answer the phone first, unless it's something urgent."
"it is good."
Xu Jingxing took out his phone; the caller ID showed Tang Yan.
He felt a pang of panic, after all, Tang Yan was currently positioned diagonally below him.
Xu Jingxing turned to look at Liu Shishi guiltily and saw her covering Ebo Ya with a blanket. He then moved a little further away from her, lowered the volume of his phone, and then answered the call.
"Feed?"
"Jingxing, are you back? I suddenly heard a girl scream inside the house, and I was a little scared."
Xu Jingxing recalled that when Ebaiya vomited just now, Liu Shishi let out a scream.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be right back," Xu Jingxing said in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Come back soon, and be careful when you go upstairs."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jingxing looked at Liu Shishi with an apologetic expression.
She seemed to have regained her composure by now, but she was still hesitant to look Xu Jingxing in the eye. Only after he hung up did she weakly say:
"Do you have something to do?"
"Um, something urgent just came up."
"Then you can go ahead and get busy. What about your clothes?" Liu Shishi looked towards the bathroom.
"It's okay, I'll just shake off the water. I live downstairs anyway, I'll just go down and change my clothes."
Xu Jingxing wanted to wash the clothes because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to explain it to Tang Yan when he got back. He couldn't very well say that he vomited on his own shoulder, or he would have too much to say.
Now that the filth has been washed away, it can be explained as someone vomiting on it at a restaurant.
"Alright!"
Liu Shishi stood up, went to the bathroom, and brought the clothes to Xu Jingxing.
"Then I'll be going now."
Once the passion faded, all that remained was a little awkwardness.
Just as he was about to leave, Liu Shishi called him back:
"Wait, your food!"
Xu Jingxing slapped his forehead sheepishly, "I almost forgot about this."
After taking the packaged food, Xu Jingxing seemed to suddenly remember something, switched his phone to the dial pad, and handed it to Liu Shishi. "Could I have your contact information?"
"Okay." Liu Shishi entered her phone number and dialed her number.
When she returned the phone, Liu Shishi's cheeks were flushed, but she didn't avoid eye contact like before. Instead, she raised her head and her gaze fell steadily on Xu Jingxing's face.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear:
"We...should keep in touch!"
