Chapter 277: Paradise

Cheng Ming woke up early and went to pick up Xu Juan, and the fact that he slept over here last night was not discovered by his dad and mom.

After breakfast, Cheng Ming sent Xiao Li to the dance studio to take a look, it would be great if she could like it.

The name of the dance studio is called Ping Ping Dance Studio, very simple, Ping Ping should be the name of the dance teacher, just in the third floor of the movie theater, did not even notice before, the signboard is not very conspicuous.

On the second floor is none other than the game hall run by Chen Ziyi’s uncle, Chen Jun.

Chen Ziyi could be seen playing games here during that weekend, supposedly sneaking out during dance practice.

Didn’t go to the dance room, went straight to the game room.

At a glance, I saw Chen Ziyi sitting alone in front of the arcade. The number of people playing the arcade wasn’t as large as in the first half of last year, but there were quite a few girls who came to take big headshots.

The rise of the Internet cafe and the decline of the arcade are both big trends, and Cheng Ming is even accelerating the process.

“You guys are here ah, Cheng Ming, come and play a couple of games with me to warm up your hands, the dance room doesn’t start for another half hour.” Chen Ziyi rubbed her small hands and said.

Cheng Ming wore gloves to manipulate the joysticks and buttons, and his hands were stiff, and the operation could not keep up with his brain’s reaction.

A rare bloodbath.

“Hmph, now you know how powerful I am, right?” Chen Ziyi said as she tilted her head in triumph, her fox tail tilting up to the sky.

“It was my hand that was a little stiff just now, another hand.”

“Little Li, let me take you to the dance room, if you want to play yourself.” Chen Ziyi held Cheng Li’s small hand and walked upstairs.

Don’t we have half an hour?

Win and run. That’s despicable.

The hallway in front of the dance studio entrance is plastered with painted grass and cartoon stickers.

Chen Ziyi and Cheng Li went to the dressing room to change.

Cheng Ming could see the furnishings inside the ballroom through the window.

Wood-grain floors, mirrors on one wall, two handle bars, air conditioning, blue mats on the floor, a stereo, radio, and a variety of cassettes.

Little do kindergarteners to mature big sisters, all wearing uniform tight dance clothes, not yet official class.

Students were either spontaneously warming up, stretching, or helping someone press their legs to open ligaments.

Once your body is hot, you take off your heavy jacket and show off your curves.

There were also chatty girls, those who inadvertently hooked the edges of their jumpsuits around their hips, and little girls who playfully fought their way into a ball.

Not bad. Not bad. Is this heaven?

After changing her clothes, Chen Ziyi led Cheng Li to report to the teacher, their hair tied back and coiled behind their heads, revealing their bright foreheads.

Chen Ziyi glared at Cheng Ming, walked towards him, knocked on the window, walked out of the dance room, closed the door, and said without a trace of humor, “What are you standing here stupidly for? Don’t go yet.”

“Can’t I just be here to watch my lovely sister take dance lessons?” Cheng Ming crossed his arms and asked back with a straight face.

“It’s okay, but I’m afraid you’ll commit a crime, all white silk and so many girls with poor tits, you’ll go on a rampage, won’t you?”

Chen Ziyi covered her mouth and turned her head sideways.

“How can that be, is my self-control that bad? Besides, I’m clearly a fraternity party, favoring a little bit of white silk and that at best.”

Don’t nail someone’s fetishes to a box, it kills so many possibilities.

“Jing Yi is waiting for you, right? Why are you still here? Haven’t you gotten tired of watching me and Xiao Li every day? It’s a rare occasion that I helped you stall Xiao Li.”

I don’t know what to say about her when she’s doing the chicken stealing thing and assisting at the same time, and I don’t know what to say about her.

“How can I get tired of looking at you guys.”

This look is really rare for you guys, but Jing might already be waiting for him at home, so he really can’t stay here for long.

“Despicable.” Chen Ziyi reddened her little face, biting her lips lightly, her little hand gripping the hem of her skirt as she feigned anger.

“How am I mean? You’re the mean one.”

“People who engage in sneak attacks are just mean, get out of here or I’m going to call the teacher over and say there’s a pervert here who likes to watch elementary school kids dance.”

“Don’t, can’t I just leave? I don’t really care, I don’t want Xiao Li to be misunderstood, let’s get down to business, does Xiao Li like it here?”

“I don’t know, let’s take a lesson to experience it first, I’ll try to make her like it.” Chen Ziyi raised her arms and made a muscle-showing gesture.

“Pick her up at eleven, got it? It can be a few minutes early enough for you to watch for a while.”

“Understood.”

Cheng Ming waved his hand towards Cheng Li and pointed in the direction of the exit, signaling that he was leaving.

Cheng Li also waved her little hand towards Cheng Ming and spat out her little tongue.

Cheng Ming hurried back to his new home, and when he saw the two pairs of shoes in the foyer, he knew that Jing Jing had already arrived.

Lin Jingyi was sitting on the sofa with a knitting stick in her hand, knitting a scarf.

“Jing Jing, have you been waiting for me for a long time?” Cheng Ming asked as he naturally sat on Jing Jing’s side and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Neither did I. I just got here… Did Ri go to the dance room?”

“Well, I’ll pick her up later, and I don’t know how many days she’ll be learning, maybe half a day before the novelty wears off.”

“That’s not necessarily true, don’t look at Xiao Li like that, but she is actually very persistent about what she really likes, you as a brother wouldn’t be unaware of that, would you?”

Cheng Ming certainly knew that, and knew it better than anyone else.

“Is this a birthday gift for me?” Cheng Ming asked, holding the half-scarf in Lin Jingyi’s hand.

“What are you thinking, I knitted this for Rei, isn’t her birthday coming up?”

“Eh, so we’re knitting scarves all day today too?”

Doesn’t that change nothing at all?

“How can that be, it’s almost finals and I can’t possibly spend all my time knitting scarves, I also told Rei last night that it’s okay to knit the scarf and give it to her before the New Year. She said it’s okay.”

“Rei is so understanding, we didn’t hurt her for nothing.”

Having said that, Jing still didn’t stop her needlework.

Cheng Ming, who was tickled, started to do something bad, stood in front of Jing Jing, bent down and kissed her lips.

“Don’t block my view.”

“I see, whatever works as long as it doesn’t block your view, right?”

Cheng Ming then pecked Jing’s neck and held her ear, his cold palms first reaching into his own clothes to muffle the heat, then reaching into Jing’s clothes while it was still hot, groping his way upwards.

But Cheng Ming inevitably pulled up Jing’s clothes, exposing her snow-white skin to the cold air.

After picking the full and plump fruits, Cheng Ming moved his hands down, only moving them around Jing’s waistline and small stomach.

“Jing Jing, have you gained weight again recently?”

“Which is not true, it’s because I’ve been sitting and not moving in the winter, plus I ate too much delicious food yesterday before I gained a little bit more flab.” Lin Jingyi said as she deliberately puffed out her chest and tucked in her stomach.

The area above had already been explored, and Cheng Ming, who always wanted to walk through all the mazes and not leave a single treasure chest behind when playing the game, explored towards the bottom out of instinct.

The result was an immediate quiet clamping of the hand.

Lin Jingyi put the knitting sticks and wool aside and said with a stern face, “Little Ming, are these the only things you have in your head? Am I only worth doing these things to you?”

“Of course not, I’m doing this because I want you to be comfortable, if you hate it, I won’t do it, why don’t we go on a date now, there’s not much fun to be had in Nanming City, let’s just go to the province, let’s just go to some other city, it’s only 8:30 now, there’s still one day left in the vacation, so if you really can’t, you can just take an extra day off.” The flustered Cheng Ming said incoherently.

Since they crossed the line, step by step, they’ve done more over the top things.

It’s like every time you’re alone it’s just to do that kind of thing.

Cheng Ming is not always up in his head and thinking with his lower body.

There was a time when it did get bottled up, the adverse reaction of young flesh and a thirty year old soul.

But after that, most of the time he did that kind of thing again was to show love and guilt.

Cheng Ming is not good at saying fleshy and earthy love words, and he can’t keep putting ‘sorry’ on his lips, so the so-called ‘love’ can only be proved by actions.

This method won’t work, either.

“What are you talking about, I don’t mean that, isn’t us staying together dating? It’s not like we have to go to an amusement park or something to be considered a date, how much of a waste of money is that, and I don’t hate doing this kind of thing ……” Lin Jingyi blushed, and said in a thin, mosquito-fly voice.

“But!”

Lin Jingyi suddenly raised her volume.

“Xiao Ming you’re so good at being shy, like a monkey, when I’m around you I can still help you out, how do you solve it when I’m not around you? Did you let Chen Ziyi help you out this month away? You bad thing!”

Lin Jingyi backhanded and grabbed Cheng Ming’s gradually stone more lifeline.

“How is this possible! It’s not like Chen Ziyi and I have that kind of relationship.”

“Aren’t you boyfriend and girlfriend in school? Still smooching and skipping class together, when clearly even I never skipped class with you.”

Lin Jingyi increased her force, and after the slight pain, Cheng Ming instead began to enjoy it, relishing in it, and his hands were not idle as he began to counterattack.

“Even if we’re not in the same school, we can still meet up and skip class, and meet outside of school.”

“No way, you don’t have that kind of tension when you don’t skip class at the same school, and it’s almost finals and you’re still skipping class, are you too high for finals?”

“Then we’ll skip class when we get to college.”

“It’s not like college will necessarily be in the same school, there are only a few high schools in Nanming City, we can be separated, and with so many colleges across the country, we definitely won’t be together, it would be nice to be in a city.” Lin Jingyi thought pessimistically.

Cheng Ming lifted his other hand and rubbed Jing’s cheek, saying with certainty, “Trust me, we’ll definitely be at the same university.”

“Don’t believe you for a second, and then there’ll be another accident anyway.”

“Really, I swear, if we don’t go to the same school, I’ll beat the …… out of heaven.”

Before Cheng Ming could finish his words, Lin Jingyi gagged him and pounced him onto the sofa, only to raise her head panting after a short while, her hair hanging down on Cheng Ming’s face.

“Don’t want to hear you say that kind of thing, and don’t learn that kind of poisonous oath from characters in martial arts novels, there are so many universities, so many colleges. Even if we’re in the same school, we can’t be in the same college, in the same class, I’m satisfied to be in the same school.”

“Absolutely I will, we’ll just fill in the same first volunteer not just the second and third.”

“Then aren’t we competitors for the entrance exam?”

“We’re calling this a reservation for two seats.” Cheng Ming rubbed Jing’s cheek and laughed.

“Obviously someone who can’t even memorize ancient poems and has such a big mouth.”

Xu Juan walked out of the study, glanced at the two, and walked towards the restroom.

Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi immediately got up from the sofa and sat down, Lin Jingyi pinched Cheng Ming’s thigh flesh and said, “It’s all your fault that Xu Juan saw it.”

“We didn’t do anything either, we didn’t even take off our clothes.” Cheng Ming said with his hands spread out.

“What do you mean you haven’t even taken off your clothes, you’re not going to take them off in this cold weather.”

“Don’t you want to take it off? It’ll get your clothes dirty, won’t it?”

“But you can’t get your bed dirty, the smell is so heavy that it’s instantly detected, and washing the sheets in winter doesn’t make them dry that easily, and Ri will definitely think we wet the bed again.”

“Isn’t this a lot of beds? Just don’t fuck on the bed I sleep on.”

“Are you trying to make a fool out of Ri? She’s definitely going to check it out.”

“How about a couple towel pads?”

“Padding me with a towel helps, but you, you splash everywhere every time. But I don’t want to eat it either, it’s not good at all, and you’re still dirty and smelly from not bathing.”

“How about going in the bathtub? There’s a bath bomb, and then you soak in the hot water, so you won’t be cold, and you won’t get the sheets and covers dirty, and you’ll be able to get cleaned up in the process, and once the water is rinsed off, all the funky smells will be gone too.”

Cheng Ming really admired himself, he was simply a genius.

“Go and put the hot water on then, and call me when it’s ready, and I’ll knit the scarf a little longer.”

“Right this way!”

Cheng Ming jumped up and ran to the bathroom, happy as a child.

Joyful, not looking at his feet Cheng Ming kicked a small bench across the floor, ate the pain and squatted down, covering the back of his foot.

“Really, what’s the rush, it’s not like I’m going to run away.” Lin Jingyi cried and laughed, but it felt good to be valued and loved.

Cheng Ming didn’t bother to pay attention to the details, pondering whether there was anyone inside with the bathroom door closed.

Straight away, he opened the bathroom door, and Xu Juan was standing up, wiping between her legs with a paper towel.

“Uh ……”

How do you go to the bathroom without locking the door, and in this bathroom with a bathtub? Is it because there’s a toilet over here and only a squatting pit in that smaller bathroom?

Xu Juan threw the paper towel into the toilet, lifted her pants without changing her face, and pressed the flush button.

Whoa–

The water stirred, Xu Juan finished washing her hands, shook them off, brushed past Cheng Ming, turned back, stood in front of him, stood on her tiptoes, and put her water-stained hands up to his neck.

Cheng Ming couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cool air, craning his neck to clamp down on her hand.

Xu Juan blinked and asked, “Ice?”

“It’s icy, it almost didn’t freeze me.”

“Very icy would be nice.”

“What do you mean?”

Punishing him for seeing her in retaliation?

“To cool you down.” Xu Juan said as she glanced down at Cheng Ming’s propped up tent.

Xiao Xiao Ming, who had been restrained due to the pain in his feet, went back to his upright state as soon as he saw Xu Juan.

“What are you guys doing standing in front of the restroom?”

A quiet voice sounded like death behind him.

“I’ll go back and review.”

Xu Juan ran away in a huff.

Cheng Ming mechanically turned his body, and Lin Jingyi held her arms in her hands and looked at him with a kind face.

“Ming, you really don’t remember anything at all.”

Cheng Ming didn’t know if Jing Jing had seen him see Xu Juan just finish peeing, or if she had seen Xu Juan touching his neck.

Lin Jingyi’s foot stretched out from the fur mop and stepped on the back of Cheng Ming’s foot that had just kicked the stool and said, “Can’t you pay attention to which toilet she went into?”

“My attention is all on you, how can I have time to look at Xu Juan, you have to remind me when you see it.”

“How do I know she doesn’t lock the door, no, I have to go talk to her, girls need to be a little guarded, or else it’ll be cheaper for you, the big pervert.”

Lin Jingyi went to find Xu Juan, intending to give her a lecture, while Cheng Ming went to put hot water in the bathtub to prepare for his happy life later.

“Ming, Xu Juan said it was the bathroom door that was broken?”

“Bad? How come I don’t know.”

Cheng Ming unlocked the bathroom door on the inside, but Jing opened it easily from the doorway.

“Weird, when did it break?”

“You ask me who I ask, this is your home.”

“But no one broke in while I was showering, who knew it would break, it’s only been six months, there’s no reason for quality control to be this bad.”

“It would be weird if someone broke in while you were in the shower, and had to do it in the bathroom? It always feels so insecure that you can’t lock the door.” Lin Jingyi said with concerns, not wanting to be seen making a fool of herself.

“Don’t worry about it, there’s only Xu Juan in the house too, she won’t come in when she sees us with the lights on and the sound inside.”

Anyway, it’s no big deal if Xu Juan sees it, it’s all family and it’s not a loss.

“Really?”

“Really, if Rhi had to worry about it.”

“It’s also true that it’s a rare opportunity for Ri to be away from home.”

Cheng Li, who was far away in the dance room pressing his legs, sneezed greatly.

“Lai, are you not feeling well? Caught a cold? You have to pay attention to keeping warm when practicing dance in winter, or you’ll get sick easily.”

“No, it should be my brother who is thinking about me.” Cheng Li said stinkily.

This pair of siblings is absolutely hopeless, right? Chen Zi Yi thought as she held her forehead, “If there’s a brother, there’s a sister”.

Nor what they are doing ……

Are you in the middle of something?

No way.

Chen Ziyi shook her head violently, banishing the distracting thoughts.

Try not to think about it, as long as you don’t think about it you won’t feel bad inside.

She’s waiting for her childhood friend’s ‘curse’ where they’re separated for various force majeure reasons or something.

Anyway, absolutely no breakups and relationship breakups because of her, this is Chen ZiYi’s bottom line and her insistence.

But she couldn’t resist stealing the chicken and calling it a provocation to work out and solidify their relationship.

Having entered the scene much later in the day, she had no other recourse but companionship and the day-to-day tactic.

Exclusive to Cheng Ming?

Chen Ziyi didn’t seem to have this idea since the beginning and didn’t think she had that ability.

The more time he spent with Cheng Ming, the more he could sense that he was different, not so much in his mind or his style of doing things.

Chen Ziyi’s circle is full of geniuses and teenagers.

However, Chen Ziyi could feel an indescribable sense of loneliness from his body, out of place in the world.

It was clear that he was surrounded by so many people, not alone, with family, friends, a girlfriend, a career, and her.

The more Chen Ziyi tried to explore the source of this loneliness of his, to understand his heart, the deeper she fell.

Ahhhhh, what a pest, but it’s so nice to know him, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life if I miss it, right?
