Chapter 271
“Sister Xiao Qing, why don’t you buy something more fashionable?” asked Yang Ming.
“Hehe, I’m in the university every day. Who would I wear fashionable clothes for?” Xiao Qing laughed.
“What about during non-working hours such as Saturday and Sunday? Don’t you go out?” asked Yang Ming.
“Generally, I don’t go out very much. Moreover, I can still wear formal clothing when I go out!” Xiao Qing said.
“Don’t you have me now? If you were to wear formal professional clothing when we go out, won’t you feel old-fashioned?” Yang Ming suggested, “Come. Let’s buy a set of sister-brother shirts.”
“Sister-brother shirts? What’s that?” Xiao Qing asked, confused. She had never heard of sister-brother shirts.
“Er… They’re just clothes with a similar pattern so that others can know that we belong to the same family at a glance…” Yang Ming explained.
“… Stop setting me up! Aren’t you talking about matching outfits for couples?” Xiao Qing glared at Yang Ming. “What sister-brother shirts? You really know how to play with words.”
“Hehe, I’m just kidding!” Yang Ming laughed mischievously.
“Alright, then I will buy some more youthful attire!” Xiao Qing also felt that she should dress herself up properly. Anyway, she already had a deeper relationship with Yang Ming. Even though it was kept a secret, but she would feel more comfortable if she could reduce the gap between the two of them.
Other than becoming Xiang Qing’s fashion advisor, Yang Ming himself was also constantly buying things. Of course, these things were bought for others. For example, he bought a set of formal attire for both his parents, a limited edition Nike shoes for his younger cousin, Yang Xiaobo, a set of cosmetics for Yang Li, a set of jewelry for Sun Jie, and a bottle of perfume for Zhao Ying. As for Zhang Bing, a video game enthusiast, Yang Ming bought him the full original series of the Legend of Zelda, including The Minish Cap and A Link Between Worlds on the Gameboy Advance, as well as the Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo DS. He wanted to get the Four Swords as well, but that game seemed to be sold out. Yang Ming couldn’t get it from the game store. Other than that, he bought a set of the Legend of Zelda’s spin-off games for him.
Certainly, all the other individuals would also obtain each of their items respectively. When Yang Ming and Xiao Qing were ready to return to the hotel, they found out that both of their hands were filled with items!
However, the taxi driver wasn’t surprised. Many tourists who came to Hong Kong would shop as crazy as Yang Ming and Xiao Qing. So he just smiled, “Both of you are from overseas?”
“Yeah, hehe, is it because we bought many things?” Yang Ming laughed.
“Not at all, many locals in Hong Kong also come here for some crazy shopping. But the items you bought varied a lot, and the locals usually don’t buy so many kinds of items.” The taxi driver pointed to the different brands of items in the bags in Yang Ming’s hands as he spoke, “Most importantly, the place where the both of you are going is a hotel, not a village house…”
Yang Ming broke into a sweat. He thought the taxi driver spotted something unusual, but instead, it was a realization when he stated that he was going to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Liu Weishan had just finished the conference of the academic exchange. He was chatting with Chu Huifang in the room. When he saw Yang Ming and Xiao Qing came back, he asked happily, “You both came back with quite a few items, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, not bad actually, dad and mom. Yang Ming and I also bought some clothes for you. You both can try them later.” Xiao Qing said with a smile.
“Okay! But, let’s go and eat first. We were just waiting for the both of you to come back!” Liu Weishan nodded and said.
They ate something simple at the hotel. Liu Weishan didn’t like to attend all the various ceremonies. He preferred a simple life. His happiest time was eating together with his family.
“Let’s rest earlier tonight. We fly back to Donghai early tomorrow morning.” Chu Huifang reminded them after the meal.
Yang Ming nodded and said yes while he gave Xiao Qing an ambiguous smile. Xiao Qing didn’t bother with him at all. She nodded and said, “Okay, since I’m tired from shopping today I will sleep once I get back. Dad and mom, you both should rest early too!”
Yang Ming was a little depressed. It seemed like his intention to have some intimate moments with Xiao Qing was dismissed.
On the 28th floor, Liu Weishan and Chu Huifang first went back to their room. Then, Yang Ming and Xiao Qing went to return to their rooms. Xiao Qing opened her room door with the room card. Just as she was about to enter her room, Yang Ming couldn’t help it anymore and called out, “Sister Xiao Qing…”
Xiao Qing looked back, there was no surprise in her eyes. She pretended to be angry as if Yang Ming didn’t do something right. Then, she smiled and handed the card in her hand to Yang Ming. Without any words, Yang Ming had already understood Xiao Qing’s intention.
Yang Ming took the room card happily. When he was about to say something, Xiao Qing had already turned back into her room.
Yang Ming had a bitter smile as he shook his head. It seemed even though Xiao Qing had quietly agreed to it, she still didn’t want to make things too obvious.
Once Yang Ming went back to his room, he took a shower and dressed in pajamas. He brought another set of clean attire out of the room with him. He was concerned that he would fall asleep again in the middle of the night in Xiao Qing’s room. If he were to appear in Xiao Qing’s room wearing pajamas in the next morning, Liu Weishan and Chu Huifang would definitely be suspicious about it!
Yang Ming first lit the “Do Not Disturb” light by pressing a button in his room before he left.
Yang Ming looked around the corridor and didn’t see anyone. Then, he tiptoed to the door of Xiao Qing’s room. In fact, those who stayed on the 28th floor were primarily VIPs. Hence, few people would walk through the corridors. Even the staff wouldn’t walk in the corridor when guests were not looking for them. They all knew that people with prestige preferred a quiet environment.
Yang Ming opened Xiao Qing’s room with her room card and sneaked in quickly. He then pressed the “Do Not Disturb” button from inside.
En? Xiao Qing’s room was dark and she didn’t turn on the lights! Yang Ming walked quietly into the room and found that Xiao Qing had already lain down on the bed. It seemed like she was already asleep!
No way? She actually fell asleep! Yang Ming felt frustrated, but he also knew that this kind of thing couldn’t be forced! He shouldn’t really wake Xiao Qing forcefully just to xxoo [1] with her. Not only was it disrespectful to Xiao Qing, if it was forced, it wouldn’t be comfortable for her.
With those thoughts in mind, Yang Ming let out a quiet sigh. Let’s forget that, but well, hugging Xiao Qing to sleep is also a very pleasurable thing! Yang Ming took his pajamas off and quickly got in the bed with Xiao Qing.
Yang Ming gently embraced Xiao Qing. Just as he wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep, Xiao Qing’s hot lips suddenly kissed him! It turned out that Xiao Qing had been awake the whole time!
Without any words, the two passionate bodies intertwined together, composing a splendid symphony…
Both Yang Ming and Xiao Qing knew that there wouldn’t be many opportunities to meet like this after returning to Song Jiang. In order to avoid any suspicion, Xiao Qing had to keep a certain distance from Yang Ming too. Otherwise, if both of them were noticed for being together, it would be bad for their reputation,
The flight was at around six in the morning, so it was necessary to leave the hotel at about five o’clock. Yet, the two of them were in each other’s comfort until four o’clock! Yang Ming was really tired, yet Xiao Qing felt vigorous and energetic. However, this form of vigor was purely on the physiological level. Mentally, Xiao Qing’s energy was nowhere better than Yang Ming. Since she didn’t sleep overnight, she had bags under her eyes. They just weren’t as bad as Yang Ming’s.
With only one hour left, Yang Ming and Xiao Qing didn’t plan to go to sleep anymore. They hurriedly took a hot bath to rejuvenate their spirit. Yang Ming quickly put on his clothes and went back to his room to pack his luggage.
When he was about to leave, he looked at Xiao Qing reluctantly and refused to leave for a very long time.
“Yes?” Xiao Qing asked with a smile.
“Sister Xiao Qing, I…” Yang Ming didn’t know how to say it.
“Alright, be good! Come, let your sister hug you.” Xiao Qing smiled and walked over, then she hugged Yang Ming as if he was a child, and she kissed Yang Ming’s face with a “ba jik” sound, “Is it okay now?”
“Hehe.” Yang Ming was also a little embarrassed. He left Xiao Qing’s room with a smile.
After Yang Ming left, Xiao Qing sighed. She found that she really fell in love with Yang Ming, fell in love with this boy who was ten years younger than her! She couldn’t keep it up for long. Xiao Qing secretly reminded herself to keep a clear-headed mind so that she won’t bring any pressure or trouble to Yang Ming because of her feelings for him.
Sometimes, love would come so suddenly. A moment, a kiss, a hug. That split moment of falling in love can make one person sacrifice selflessly for the other person.
Yang Ming naturally didn’t know Xiao Qing’s thoughts. He went back to his room slightly moody. He started to pack up his luggage. Looking at all the things that he needed to carry back to his relatives and friends, Yang Ming began to have a headache. If I knew this would be the case, I might as well buy some of these at the mall in Song Jiang and lie to them that I brought it back from Hong Kong!
