Chapter 281 – The Aftermath of Winter

The comforter was filled with the scent of a young girl’s body and the pungent odor of red potion, with a bit of the scent left over from Rei and Lai, not all of which had been covered.

Cheng Ming had quite a few experiences about three people sleeping together.

But that was him with his sister and Jing, or the two of them with Rei.

None of it really counts.

Of course, adding Xu Juan seems almost interesting.

Is this a fresh start?

Can you start arranging combinations at will later?

Cheng Ming was just thinking about it after all.

And why does Xu Juan perversely and unapologetically want them to sleep together?

To pay the rent? Occasionally, Xu Juan has that obsession that she needs to pay something to feel at ease when she’s living under someone else’s roof.

Or are you lonely and isolated? Afraid to sleep alone.

She was not a child who liked to be pampered, but the disguise was strong and cold. Once it was ripped away, all that was left was softness and bird-like behavior.

Cheng Ming does not want to be too entangled in this cut and dried up children’s love, to pull what morality and other nebulous things. Money is the only way to think about those miscellaneous things, money to break through the shackles of the world.

Being born again and falling in front of a beauty queen can’t be too funny.

So Cheng Ming had been steadily moving forward with what he wanted to do, and the steps hadn’t been disrupted.

The next day, Cheng Ming woke up the earliest, looking at the peaceful sleeping faces on his left and right, he couldn’t help but take them over his shoulder and hold them in his arms, they were much heavier than Xiao Li and Xiao Ren.

Speaking of which, Cheng Ming’s first time was with them, so this is some kind of fate?

With a beautiful woman in his arms, Cheng Ming naturally had bad thoughts.

If Jing Jing hadn’t just broken her melon and was sleeping next to Xu Juan, Cheng Ming would have definitely woken Jing Jing up in a particularly memorable way.

Cheng Ming came close to his face and blocked Jing’s lips, his tongue stirring.

There’s a pleasurable feeling when you sneak it in once in a while, I wonder if it’s like that when Chen Ziyi does it?

Perhaps there are quite a few differences.

Cheng Ming made quite a commotion and woke Jing up.

“Ming, good morning ……”

You have to do it when you fall asleep and you can’t stop when you wake up.

“Really, your mouth stinks.”

His mouth was full of disgust, but his body was quite honest, actively catering and demanding, holding Cheng Ming’s head until the two of them had difficulty breathing before separating.

Red-faced and breathless, they pressed against each other, feeling their bodies change.

Jing Jing was at a time when she needed to be pampered.

There is instead a taste for intimate things between men and women.

Lin Jingyi crossed over Cheng Ming’s chest and saw Xu Juan, who had her hands on her cheeks and her eyes wide open.

She’s completely forgotten about her existence. Did they see her like that?

Lin Jingyi buried her head in the crook of Cheng Ming’s arm in shame, her hand under the blanket holding Cheng Ming’s controller and said, “Xiao Ming, it’s all your fault.”

Lin Jingyi organized her emotions, raised her head, revealed a pair of eyes, and looked at Xu Juan and asked, “Does that …… Xu Juan often sleep with Xiao Ming?”

Did it mean that they were four people sleeping together? She’d never heard of such a thing.

Last night was really no energy to clean up Ming, in the morning I slept well, rested enough, full of strength, to give him a little color.

“Not often, once a week I guess.”

Once a week is regular!

“Do you have any reason to sleep together?” Lin Jingyi pursued.

“To pay the rent.”

“What does paying rent mean? This is the first time I’ve heard of it, Xiao Ming, explain it to me.”

“It’s just that Xu Juan thinks she can’t live here for nothing, she has to pay a little something in order to live here in peace, and she doesn’t have any money so she ……”

“So you let her sell her body to mortgage the rent?”

Lin Jingyi’s voice got louder, roaring so loud that Cheng Ming’s ears hurt.

“It wasn’t my idea.”

“How could Xu Juan come up with such a thing, it must be you taking advantage of her in a different way, Xu Juan you don’t have to be afraid of her, she wouldn’t dare to kick you out of the house, I’ll do it for you today, say, is it true that Xiao Ming swindled you on purpose?”

Cheng Ming was wrongly accused.

“I brought it up of my own accord.”

“Why would you do such a thing, a girl has to know how to care for her body!”

“Because Cheng Ming likes it, and if he likes it, I can keep living here.”

“Does that mean you like Ming?”

This explanation should make the most sense.

“Not nasty.”

“Did you guys know each other before? We met when we were kids.”

Are they childhood sweethearts too? Uncle Cheng and Auntie Lian are childhood friends.

Xu Juan shook her head.

For Cheng Ming it can be even more complicated, but as of now, a stage victory has been achieved on the Xu Juan front, but there is still a way to go to achieve results.

“So you met this summer, that’s only six months, that’s too soon, faster than Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.”

“You can’t count it that way, we didn’t get back on speaking terms until the summer either, and now we’re all honest about it.”

“It’s not the same, how long have we known each other, we’ve known each other since birth, no, since our mother’s womb. So Xu Juan, you haven’t seen Xiao Ming’s nature yet, don’t be fooled by his disguise.”

“There’s also love at first sight. My dad and mom were flash married.”

“You shut up! You guys usually sleep together? And then nothing? Nothing.”

A man and a woman sharing a room, sharing a bed, or someone like Kotomine, can’t think of anything that hasn’t been done.

“Did the smile special.”

“Special training ah ……”

Lin Jingyi instinctively had a bad feeling about the word special training.

“The tickling at first was normal enough, but you can’t touch a girl’s breasts, right?”

Lin Jingyi gave Cheng Ming’s remote control a brutal ravage.

“Are you going over for dinner today?” Xu Juan asked.

“Not today, I’ll pick up my sister later to go to the dance room.” Cheng Ming said as he lazily lay on the bed, Jing Jing favored stopping at the critical time, making him not be able to get on and off, it was really an abrasive little goblin.

“I’ll get breakfast ready then.”

Xu Juan jumped out of bed without changing her face and put on her coat to leave.

“Wait, I’ll help too.” Lin Jingyi shouted.

Cheng Ming took Lin Jingyi’s hand and said, “Jingyi, should you have other more important tasks?”

“Who cares about you, fix it yourself.” Lin Jingyi mercilessly shook off Cheng Ming’s hand.

Cheng Ming held his head in his hands and lay alone on the bed, thinking about life.

What’s the point.

Cheng Ming also changed his clothes and got up, it’s obviously winter and he’s still so energetic, it’s really hard for little brother.

Cheng Ming watched Jing Jing, who had tied on an apron and had her ponytail hanging down over her chest, bend down to look for something and pout her hips, and couldn’t help but hug her waist from behind, moving her body and grinding a bit.

“Stop it, I’m preparing breakfast for you.” The limp Lin Jingyi nearly couldn’t even hold the plate in her hand.

“Isn’t there still Xu Juan?”

“How can you put this kind of thing on her to do alone! Go wash up and change your clothes, don’t you have to send Xiao Li to the dance room later? The rest will wait until you come back.”

“I’ll come and help too okay, three people cooking faster.”

“Pros aren’t allowed to compete, and we’re all going to lose our girly confidence if we eat what you make.”

“Is it that much of a stretch?”

“Just be a good boy and wait.”

Cheng Ming was shoved out of the kitchen by Jing, and while waiting, Cheng Ming idly went to turn on his computer.

As a result, I saw Chen Ziyi’s reply, “Just stay awake.”

It’s in the heat of the moment, and I’ll see her again later in the ballroom, so what should I say?

Cheng Ming didn’t know either, but if he didn’t see it today, he’d still have to see it tomorrow at school.

The closer you get, the deeper it hurts.

After the three of them ate breakfast together, Cheng Ming went out to pick up his sister, and Cheng Li questioned, “Brother you’re also too slow, why didn’t you come over for breakfast today?”

“Xu Juan prepared breakfast, so we ate together.”

“Actually taking advantage of my absence to pander to brother, give me a break.” Cheng Li clenched her small fists and said.

Came to the game room and found Chen Ziyi.

She sat frozen in front of the arcade, not playing the game, her ungloved hands frozen.

If Cheng Ming still remembered, this was the machine that he and Chen ZiYi had used when they ‘first met’ in this game hall.

Chen Ziyi’s essence was not very good, the corners of her eyes were a little red, and there was a layer of faint dark circles under her eyes.

“Hey, hey, Sister Chen?”

Cheng Li waved his hand in front of Chen Zi Yi and shouted at her without any response.

“Chen Ziyi, Chen Ziyi.”

Cheng Ming also called out a few times.

“Sister Chen wouldn’t have been frozen into a popsicle, would she?” Cheng Li said in shock.

“How can that be, Yi, are you okay?”

Cheng Ming put his hand on Chen Ziyi’s shoulder, she trembled her body as if she was waking up from a dream, violently shook off Cheng Ming’s hand, and after turning her head to see Cheng Ming’s face, she said in frustration, “Cheng Ming, so it’s you, what can I do.”

“What’s taking so long to gawk at nothing? And look like you haven’t gotten enough sleep.”

Cheng Ming of course knew what Chen Ziyi had become like this because of.

But he couldn’t say it in front of his sister, or else his affair with Jing Jing would be exposed, not to mention rubbing salt in Chen Zi Yi’s wounds.

“There are always those days for girls, get it?”

“Then you’re still coming to the dance, take a vacation.”

“I’ll just apply to rest on the side later, Ri is still coming this way the next day. As the introducer I can’t not be there, let’s go to the dance room, it’s warmer there, it’s freezing here.”

Chen Ziyi put her hands into her coat pockets, shrunk her head like a turtle, clenched her shoulders, and headed upstairs.

“Brother, did you do something to hurt Sister Chen?” Cheng Li asked in a small voice.

“How can that be.”

It counts as collateral damage is all.

“It’s good that it’s not, if you need to comfort sister Chen, I’ll help you, who made me brother’s sister.”

Although the fewer women who equally share their brother’s women, the better, but lest Sister Jingyi is dominant, it is still necessary to preserve the strength of the opposing forces and hold her back, it is best for both sides to have a fight to the death, and her body is already well-fed in the big back.

Classes officially began, and Chen Zi Yi didn’t drive Cheng Ming away, sitting in the corner with one hugging his knees.

Cheng Ming waved his hand at her, she initially saw ignored it and inclined her head, but still couldn’t help but open the door to see Cheng Ming.

“Why don’t you people leave! Don’t you know you’re in the way? The teacher is trying to kick people out, the students’ attention is drawn to you, in asking you who this person is, Xiao Li is still over there shouting shamelessly. It’s my brother, it’s my brother, I’m ashamed for you all.”

“Give me your hand.”

“What do you want?” Chen Ziyi asked warily.

“I’m not going to eat you.”

Chen Ziyi pulled her hands out of her pockets, and Cheng Ming took off his gloves and covered his hands, rubbing them together and blowing on the heat.

“Hoo-hoo-ha ……”

“Don’t pity me, I don’t need your pity either.” The hard-mouthed Chen Ziyi struggled to say, but still couldn’t let go of this moment of warmth.

Sometimes when I think it’s good to like someone with impunity, I can’t imagine that I would still have the feeling of heartache and sadness.

“It’s not pity, it’s that I don’t want to see you without spirit, you don’t look at all like the you I know today.”

“What am I normally like?”

“It’s annoying, hateful, want to hit you but don’t dare to, and can’t beat you, so I can only endure it.”

“How dare you.”

Chen Ziyi raised her foot and lightly kicked Cheng Ming.

“Gloves to lend you, how come you don’t even have a pair of gloves when you have such a nice family, it’s weirdly pathetic.”

Cheng Ming put his own gloves on Chen Ziyi, which didn’t quite fit his hands and were slightly one size too big.

“I did forget to put it on when I went out today, but don’t want it for nothing, so that you can also taste what it’s like to be frozen. Hmph, what are you still staying here for, why don’t you go now?”

“Unloading and killing!”

Cheng Ming smiled and left, point blank, almost.

Too much compassion would be like his handouts to the weak and defeated, and could backfire on someone like Chen Ziyi, who had a high heart.

Chen Ziyi was not a character in Cheng Ming’s original goal, and had never crossed paths in his previous life. But in this life, she did walk into his heart and influenced each other.

Cheng Ming returned to his new home, rubbing his cold little hands, and in an instant Jing noticed the difference.

“Ming, where are your gloves?”

“Gave it to Chen Ziyi.”

“To comfort her?”

“Sort of, she’s a little soulful today.”

“It’s all because of me, if I hadn’t presented a mouthful, things wouldn’t have gotten so awkward between us.”

“You’re right, it’s better to have a long pain than a short one, and this might not turn out so bad.”

Cheng Ming hugged Jing Jing, his hands clamped under her armpits for warmth, neither of them had any joyful thoughts anymore, they just snuggled together, reminiscing about the past and imagining the days ahead.

Jing Jing couldn’t stay away from home for too long, and she had to study late at night, so she let Cheng Ming send her back before lunch.

After lunch, Cheng Ming kept his promise and went to Ye Mei’s house.

Obviously the home of an “enemy”, Cheng Ming was unusually at ease in this place, was it because there was an enemy’s daughter who could be bullied at will?

“Ming, did Ri like the birthday present I gave her?”

“It shouldn’t be annoying.”

Ye Mei gave an octave box, one of those very common gifts from her sister’s mouth, and a more expensive one, knowing that she didn’t have much money left to live on.

“It’s good that you don’t hate it, it’s good that you can take it.” Ye Mei patted her chest and said with a sigh of relief.

“Ming, you seem to have something on your mind?”

“Can you tell?”

“How can I put it, it’s a bit different from the usual you, distracted. You can hit my buttocks to relieve your anger if something bad happens.”

Isn’t it usually the case that Cheng Ming is allowed to speak out about things that don’t go his way?

Although Ye Mei’s mouth was considered tight, that kind of thing wasn’t worth publicizing everywhere.

“Then I’m welcome.”

A simple and crude means of decompression.

As soon as Cheng Li arrived home from his evening study, he ran to the balcony where the clothes were drying, pounced, and lifted the covers one by one to check the bedsheets.

“Leigh, what are you looking for? Is the little shark missing again?” Cheng Ming asked.

“Strange, how come there are no traces of brother and Jingyi-san wetting the bed.”

“What do you take us for?”

“Obviously the bed smells so heavily of red potion, Sister Jingyi must have slept with her brother last night, did you guys pee in the toilet!”

“Where else can we pee if not in the toilet.” Cheng Ming asked with black lines on his head.

Zhao Ren’s eyes gleamed as she asked, “Did Sister Lin sleep in this bed last night?”

“Uh-huh.”

Zhao Ren rolled around on the bed clutching a pillow, was this trying to get that red potion smell? Using paint might be faster.
