Chapter 720 - There Are Some Things That I Don’t Really Put Down
Both of them were stunned for a moment. When they heard someone walking to the attic, Xian Guiying hurriedly tried to push Qin Gengxin away, but he simply held her back, not letting her move.
Fearing that she would be crushed, he laid her down on the bed.
"Stop messing around." Xian Guiying lightly punched his chest, she didn"t dare to make too much noise.
The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Apparently, it was the sound of two people"s footsteps, followed by the sound of a conversation.
"When Guiying said that she was going to sleep in the attic, at that time I was too busy playing with the children that I forgot to tell her that the shower inside was broken. Although there is usually someone to clean the place, the broken shower has never been repaired."
It was Zhan An"s voice.
"Madam, they should be resting by now." Then came Nanny Cheng"s voice. "These few days, Miss Guiying has been taking care of the old general in the hospital. I can see that she is very tired, but she still persisted and happily accompanied the old general throughout the day. She is very tired; otherwise she would not have let Ruolan take care of the child for the night."
"Well, let"s keep our voices down and see whether the light is on or not. She slept without taking a shower. Guiying was always too reserved every time she went home. Even when she encounters a small problem like a broken shower, she won"t tell and ask for someone"s help."
"Then... Do you want me to knock on the door?"
"Don"t knock." Zhan An whispered. "There"s no light inside, so she must be asleep."
Qin Gengxin, who was entangled with Xian Guiying on the bed, didn"t dare to move because he was afraid that people outside would hear the sound. Sensing Xian Guiying"s embarra.s.sed demeanor, Qin Gengxin suddenly smiled and chewed her sensitive ears.
She moaned softly like a kitten.
She could no longer bear this torture. However, she was afraid that Zhan An and Nanny Cheng would hear her, so she gripped the bedsheets tightly with her trembling hands.

While she was in a daze, she felt as if someone was holding her in his arms. She heard a soft murmur in her ear, "I"m not going anywhere. Sleep well."
Why did Qin Gengxin say that?
Xian Guiying opened her eyes in shock as she saw the dim light in the room. When she turned around, she saw Qin Gengxin was looking down at her.
"Why are you awake?" He then bent down and kissed her on the nose. "Aren"t you so tired that you directly fell asleep?"
Xian Guiying looked at him for a moment and smiled. Then she pushed his hand away and got up. "I"m sticky and dirty. I"m going to take a shower."
"Didn"t mom just say that the shower in the attic is broken?"
Xian Guiying hesitated for a moment. "They should all be asleep by this time. n.o.body uses the bathroom on the first floor."
With that, she got out of bed and went to put on her clothes. Qin Gengxin also sat up and said, "It"s already so late. We"ll go wash up in the morning. Let"s rest first."
"No, my body is covered in sweat. It"s so sticky that I can"t fall asleep."
It wasn"t that Xian Guiying was addicted to cleanliness, but the weather was too hot and stuffy, and her body was covered with sweat. She couldn"t sleep well at all.
Seeing her insistence, Qin Gengxin did not stop her. He got up and put on a shirt, but the lower body was completely exposed. Xian Guiying directly smashed a pillow on his face. "Put on your pants!"
The corner of Qin Gengxin"s mouth twitched. He took the pillow and put it to the side. "We have done this many times, why are you so shy ~?"
It was impossible for Xian Guiying to not wear clothes openly like him, or maybe she wasn"t used to this kind of intimacy. It was actually a normal intimate relationship between a couple.
But the thought of him taking advantage of her with the fact that Nanny Cheng and Zhan An were outside made her stop looking at him.
Xian Guiying quickly put on her clothes, opened the door, and walked out.
Qin Gengxin also put on his pants, b.u.t.toning his shirt with two b.u.t.tons, and followed her out. "Why did you want to come to the attic just now? Don"t you have your own bedroom?" He walked behind her and looked at her slender back. As he walked, he asked her a question in an indifferent tone.
"I have some feelings for this little attic. Every time I come back, I don"t want to stay with them. I can only sleep in this attic." Xian Guiying said softly. "Maybe it"s just like you said; there are some things that I don"t really put down. Those things have been deeply ingrained in my mind since I was young. It would be impossible for me to put it down so quickly even if I said that I forgot it."
While they were talking, the two of them walked into the house in front of them. The small light in the living room was on. The entire house was quiet. "Drink some water and wait for me here."
However, Qin Gengxin didn"t even do as he was told. He opened the bathroom door that had not been completely closed and walked in.
"Let"s take a shower together." He laughed.
Xian Guiying was about to refuse, but Qin Gengxin leaned over and kissed her lips. This was the small bathroom on the first floor, so she didn"t dare make too much noise to prevent others from waking up.
She frowned and pinched him, but he took the opportunity to peel off the loose pajamas that she had just put on and whispered hoa.r.s.ely against her lips. "Listen to me, shower together, hmm?"
Xian Guiying was helpless. She really did not know how many years this b.a.s.t.a.r.d had not touched a woman in his life. Her clothes were directly ripped off by him.
Qin Gengxin casually took off his clothes and then directly pressed Xian Guiying against the wall, kissing her lips, before lowering his head to kiss her neck.
She endured the feeling on her body and said softly, "Don"t... I"m too dirty. My body is sweaty."
Qin Gengxin grabbed her hands and pressed them against the wall of the shower with one hand. His other hand turned the shower tap.
Water immediately splashed onto both of them. He lowered his head to sniff at her neck, panting while saying, "It"s clean now."
Xian Guiying didn"t answer. She leaned against the wall and looked at the pale blue tiles on the wall. She felt as if her whole body had been flooded by many emotions. She almost lost control of herself.
Qin Gengxin already knew everything about her, just like she knew himself. Xian Guiying was not an unrestrained person, at least not before this. Qin Gengxin"s various actions had enlightened her senses, making her no longer particularly resistant to it.
She held him close, hearing his quick breathing and feeling his uncontrollable heartbeat.
One after the other, love finally made her weak.
