Chapter 989: There’s Only One Bed in My House
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Binjiang City was quite cold this winter. Fang Yusheng and the rest had the heater and humidifier on in their bedroom, so they did not feel cold.
However, it was different outside when it was cold.
Jiang Wei brought Fang Yuqing to the countryside.
That’s right, it was the countryside. It was the kind of countryside where there were no neon lights at night and one could see the starry sky. However, there were very few nights when one could see the starry sky in Binjiang City in the winter.
Fang Yuqing and the rest were not lucky. They did not encounter a good weather where they could see the stars at night.
!!
Jiang Wei brought many fireworks.
They parked the car beside an embankment.
Jiang Wei walked in front with the fireworks. Fang Yuqing turned on the flashlight and followed behind him. It was almost twelve o’clock now. They had spent two hours driving to the countryside.
The cold wind on the river bank was especially strong.
Fang Yuqing was wearing Qiao Jiusheng’s slim-fit down jacket, but she still felt cold. Jiang Wei put down the fireworks and realized that Fang Yuqing was trembling, so he took off his jacket.
“Take off your clothes. Let’s change.”
Fang Yuqing was stunned.
She quickly explained, “Mine is too small for you.”
Jiang Wei said, “Then I’ll wear it.”
“Fine.”
Fang Yuqing took off her clothes and put on Jiang Wei’s windbreaker. The windbreaker blocked the wind and rain. It was really a practical good outfit, and she quickly felt much warmer. Jiang Wei put on Fang Yuqing’s clothes. He asked Fang Yuqing to wait at the same spot while he carried the fireworks and inserted them.
He bought fireworks, each as thick as three fingers. There were a total of 16 fireworks, and he bought a total of 15.
Jiang Wei inserted them not far away.
It was already 11: 40 pm when they were ready.
“The New Year is in twenty minutes.”
Jiang Wei held a lighter and asked Fang Yuqing, “Qingqing, do you know how to set off fireworks?”
She had to finish lighting the fireworks in the shortest time possible and watch them bloom together. Fang Yuqing had never lit them before, but she still braced herself and nodded. She said, “I will.”
“Take it.”
Jiang Wei threw her a lighter.
Fang Yuqing held the lighter and took a deep breath. She thought: It’s just a firework. She pressed the lighter and stretched out her hand.
The two of them squatted on the embankment like idiots.
The cold wind blew, and Jiang Wei’s nose turned red.
“One minute to go. Get ready.”
The two of them walked to the fireworks that they needed to light. Jiang Wei counted, “58, 57…”
When she counted to three, Fang Yuqing lit one. She watched as the fuse clicked and did not find it scary. She continued to light the second one. At this moment, the firework that had just been lit suddenly burst into flames. Fang Yuqing did not have time to look before she heard a loud bang.
She was stunned for a moment before she regained her senses. She suddenly threw away the lighter in her hand and ran towards Jiang Wei.
Fang Yuqing hugged Jiang Wei’s waist from behind.
Jiang Wei had just turned on the lighter in his hand and there was still a flickering flame.
Her waist was suddenly hugged, and the fire in her hand trembled.
Jiang Wei looked down at the flame.
It was not a flame, but his burning heart.
He licked his lips and said softly, “You’re taking my life.”
Fang Yuqing did not hear what he was saying.
“Let go of me, Qingqing.” Jiang Wei took a deep breath and explained his difficulties. “If you don’t let go of me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but want to kiss you.”
This time, Fang Yuqing heard it.
She still did not let go of him.
Jiang Wei heard Fang Yuqing say, “Then kiss me.”
Jiang Wei smiled.
“That’s easy for you to say. You were the one who extinguished the flame.” Jiang Wei’s words were filled with resentment. Thinking back to the few times he had been intimate with Fang Yuqing, he had almost lost control of his emotions, but Fang Yuqing had been able to maintain her clarity every time.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wei was not without grievances.
Fang Yuqing was extremely embarra.s.sed.
She let go of Jiang Wei and said, “Then continue lighting the fireworks.”
Jiang Wei deliberately sighed loudly before continuing to light the fireworks. Fang Yuqing looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky. Occasionally, she would look at Jiang Wei, who was busy standing in front of her, and a sense of satisfaction spread in her heart.
“Jiang Wei.”
Jiang Wei had just finished lighting the last firework.
Upon hearing this, he tilted his head and looked at Fang Yuqing with a puzzled expression. Fang Yuqing said, “Happy New Year, Jiang Wei.”
Jiang Wei smiled and sat down beside her.
“Happy New Year.”
“Yeah.”
The two of them sat and watched the fireworks. Then, there was nothing else to do. Jiang Wei did not speak, and Fang Yuqing did not know what to say. A silence filled the air around the two of them.
“Ahem.” Jiang Wei coughed uncomfortably.
Fang Yuqing tilted her head and looked at him. Seeing that his nose was red from the cold, she suddenly felt that they looked like two idiots. She quickly stood up and stretched out a hand to Jiang Wei.
“Let’s go home.”
Jiang Wei was in no hurry to give her his hand.
He said, “If you’re coming back to my house with me, then we can go back.”
Fang Yuqing was stunned.
Fang Yuqing had been to his house before, but not many times. The house Jiang Wei mentioned was his apartment in the city center. Fang Yuqing knew what Jiang Wei meant. Many things might happen when she returned to his house.
Jiang Wei had everything. He did not lack anything. He had no other motives for falling in love with her.
If Jiang Wei had ulterior motives, then he was only after Fang Yuqing. Even though he had met Hu Cheng, this heartless man, and should not be disheartened by all men.
Fang Yuqing knew what kind of person Jiang Wei was after so many years.
The night was very dark. It was not easy to see a person clearly on such a night. However, Jiang Wei’s eyebrows, Jiang Wei’s personality, and everything about Jiang Wei lived in Fang Yuqing’s heart.
Without needing the light, Fang Yuqing could guess that Jiang Wei was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
She stopped hesitating and nodded. “Sure.”
Jiang Wei was stunned.
“You’re coming back with me?” Jiang Wei was afraid that Fang Yuqing did not understand what he meant, so he specially declared, “I only have one bed at home.” A single apartment did not need a guest room.
Fang Yuqing said that she knew.
Jiang Wei’s throat rolled as he said slowly, “And I can’t be as calm as water towards you.”
Jiang Wei made himself clear.
Fang Yuqing chuckled. “I understand.”
Jiang Wei looked at her deeply.
…
Neither of them spoke on the way home.
They were clearly about to do the most intimate thing between a man and a woman, but at this moment, they actually had nothing to say. Perhaps they were too nervous, or perhaps they were embarra.s.sed. In short, the two of them, who were considered kind, became mute.
That night, other than entertainment venues, there were very few shops open. When they pa.s.sed by a small shop that automatically sold s.e.x toys 24 hours a day, Jiang Wei stopped the car. “I’ll go down and buy something.”
He did not explain what he wanted to buy, but the answer was obvious.
