Chapter 35

Jingyan locked herself back into the room again. After quietly finishing her porridge, Aunt Ouyang smiled at me and returned to her bedroom.

I could tell that her smile was forced.

I couldn’t go into Jingyan’s room, nor did I go to Aunt Ouyang’s bedroom. Aunt Ouyang’s house has a separate room for me. I lay on the bed, lost in thought.

Aunt Ouyang didn’t ask me what I had argued about with Jingyan last night. Maybe she thought the problem lay with her and Jingyan.

What is Ke Jingyan thinking? She keeps saying she doesn’t blame me or Aunt Ouyang, what does that really mean?

I can’t understand it, I really can’t understand it. But we can’t let this stalemate continue.

What went wrong? We were working towards the goal of the three of us sleeping together, but now each of us is in a separate room, sleeping alone on a cold bed.

Why do reality and ideals always seem to diverge? When did this begin?

“Buzz~” The sound of my phone vibrating interrupted my chaotic thoughts. I picked it up and saw that it was Mu Lingze.

Mu Lingze: “Are you there, my handsome guy?”

Me: “Yes, what’s up? Is something the matter?” I wasn’t in the mood for a chat.

Mu Lingze: “Why are you being so cold? Can’t I talk to you if there’s nothing wrong?”

Me: “Sure, sure, what’s wrong?” Ever since I read Mu Lingze’s post, I’ve instinctively felt more distant from her.

Mu Lingze: “Do you remember what day tomorrow is?”

I checked, tomorrow is April 11th, what day is that? I honestly don’t remember.

All I could reply to her was, “I really don’t remember.”

Mu Lingze: “/Pouting/Pouting/Pouting”

Me: “What day is it anyway? Tell me, what about the beautiful Lingze?” I could tell she was unhappy, and although I was a little impatient, I still tried to coax her.

Mu Lingze: “Tomorrow is my sister’s and my birthday.” Seeing this sentence, I realized that it was Mu Qianning and Mu Lingze’s birthday. Oh no, I haven’t prepared any gifts yet.

Me: “A birthday party? Who’s there?” I quickly changed the subject.

Mu Lingze: “It’s not really a birthday party. It’s just the two of us, you and Jingyan. We didn’t invite anyone else, and you shouldn’t invite anyone else either!”

Me: “How come there are only four of us?” I was a little surprised. Chu Yun, Mu Qianning’s boyfriend, didn’t even have a chance?

And then there’s Aunt Ouyang. Even though she’s an elder, Aunt Ouyang acts like an older sister to the two of them.

Besides, you invited quite a few people to your birthday party last year, so are you just too lazy to invite them this year?

Mu Lingze: “It’s just the four of us. My sister and I don’t want to go to too much trouble. We’ll just cook a meal together at home. Aunt Ouyang told me that you’re learning to cook. I want to try Lin Dashuai’s cooking. / I’m so hungry.” Mu Lingze’s explanation is also reasonable.

Me: “Sure.”

Mu Lingze: “You don’t need to prepare anything, everything is at home. We’ll see how you do tomorrow, hehe.”

Me: “Okay, okay.”

Mu Lingze: “That’s settled then. My sister has already spoken to Jingyan.”

Mu Lingze: “Also, you actually forgot my birthday. I’ll remember that. I’ll deliberately forget your birthday too, hmph!”

Me: “I’m so sorry, I’ll do it again next time.”

Mu Lingze: “That’s more like it. Forgetting my birthday has serious consequences! Serious consequences! /fist/fist/fist”

Me: “Okay, okay, see you tomorrow at noon.”

Mu Lingze: “See you at my house at noon!”

After ending my chat with Mu Lingze, the slight drowsiness that had been creeping up on me was completely dispelled by the light from my phone screen. I looked out the window; the curtains weren’t drawn, and the moon was sleeping soundly among the clouds, but Jingyan wasn’t beside me.

“Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!” I had just closed my eyes when I suddenly heard a series of dull knocks on the door. It didn’t seem to be knocking on my door. Who could it be?

Barefoot, I tiptoed carefully to the door, opened it a crack, and peered outside.

“Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!” The knocking became even clearer.

“Jingyan, open the door. It’s me, your mother.” Aunt Ouyang’s voice came from outside. I saw a slender figure standing at the door of Jingyan’s bedroom, her fingers gently knocking on the door.

“Knock, knock, knock!” The knocking sound was like the somber drumbeats of a piece of music, foreshadowing the sorrow that was about to follow.

“Knock knock knock!”

“Jingyan? Baby? Open the door!” Aunt Ouyang tossed her hair, barely suppressing the helplessness in her voice.

“Knock knock knock!” The knocking continued, but there was no response from inside Jingyan’s bedroom, as if it were isolated from the world.

“I know you heard that. You were just chatting with Qian Ning. Open the door quickly, baby~ Jing Yan?” Aunt Ouyang was a little anxious and stomped her feet lightly.

There was still no movement in Ke Jingyan’s bedroom.

Aunt Ouyang raised her hand slightly, as if to knock again, but it hovered in mid-air. Then, she placed her palm on the door and slowly lowered it…

Aunt Ouyang stood in front of Jingyan’s door with her head down. A heavy and resentful sigh entered my ears, stirring up a pang of sadness in me.

She turned around and walked slowly and heavily back to her bedroom door. She grasped the doorknob, turned her head and looked in my direction. I was so frightened that I quickly shrank back and dared not look again.

Only after a crisp, soft thud as the door closed did I dare to peek out.

The corridor was filled with endless darkness, as if nothing had just happened.

“Creak…” A small mechanical twisting sound made my ears twitch, and I stared intently in the direction of Jingyan and Aunt Ouyang’s bedroom.

At the doorway of Jingyan’s bedroom, a black ball suddenly popped out. It twisted left and right a couple of times before I could tell it was Jingyan’s head.

Jingyan looked around for a moment, then pulled her head back inside. The door slammed shut again, followed by another period of complete silence.

What is Jingyan doing?

I wasn’t giving up, so I stared into the hallway for a while longer. When I found there was no more movement, I quietly went back to bed.

Go to sleep. Even if the sky falls, we can fix it tomorrow.

…

The next day, I slept until I naturally woke up. I thought Aunt Ouyang and Jingyan were already up, but when I finished cooking and knocked on their doors to call them, they came downstairs in a daze.

It seems I wasn’t the only one who had insomnia last night.

“Aunt Ouyang, where are you planning to go this weekend?” I asked at the dinner table.

“Um… Is there something you two need?” Aunt Ouyang asked Jingyan.

“I’m going out with Xuanyu later,” Jingyan said coldly, without looking at Aunt Ouyang.

“Okay, then your mother and I will go shopping.” Aunt Ouyang said to me.

“I’m going to change my clothes first.” Jingyan finished eating quickly, turned around and went upstairs. Aunt Ouyang and I watched her disappear at the bottom of the stairs, then exchanged a knowing glance, our eyes filled with complex emotions.

In the taxi, I touched the seat next to me because Jingyan had taken the initiative to sit in the front passenger seat.

“Are you two locals?” the taxi driver asked in a local dialect.

“Yes,” Jingyan replied, looking out the window.

“Goodness, you just left the house and headed straight to the hotel, young and carefree!” the taxi driver said cheekily.

Damn it, what bad luck to run into such a rude and unruly driver. I glanced in the rearview mirror, and Jingyan’s expression was one of disdain.

“Hey, you two, don’t think I’m being too nagging~ I’ve driven plenty of couples around, and they all ride in pairs in the back seat. You two, one in front and one behind, might cause misunderstandings, like you’re arguing?” the driver continued to inquire.

Neither Jingyan nor I said anything, but I was wondering, had our relationship broken down to such an obvious degree?

“Last time I picked up a couple, they started arguing as soon as they got in the car. They talked about mortgages, that slut, and their male colleagues. I listened to a whole drama during the half-hour ride. I even turned off the audiobook in my headphones. This was much more exciting than listening to an audiobook.” The driver suddenly switched back to Mandarin.

“Judging from your background and your attire, you’re not from an ordinary family. The young man is handsome, and the young woman is pretty. A perfect match, what can’t you overcome? Unlike us, who have to worry about where we’ll eat next.” The driver’s words made me reconsider my earlier opinion of him. I looked at Jingyan in the rearview mirror, and her eyes no longer held the disdain they had shown before.

But the driver didn’t realize that this matter wouldn’t be so easily resolved, and he didn’t even have a chance to talk to anyone about it.

After I got out of the car and paid the fare, the driver pointed at me and said, “You two are doing well.” He had a distinctive T-city accent and the caring attitude of a T-city uncle.

I turned to look at Jingyan, who walked straight into the underground parking garage.

The night before last, Jingyan and I had a fight. She took a taxi and left with the keys. The car was left in the hotel parking lot. Seeing it sitting there all alone, I suddenly felt a sense of shared sorrow.

After getting into the old Mi SU8 that had been driven for a while, Jingyan remained silent in the passenger seat. Neither of us had ever encountered this situation before.

“Let’s go to the sugar craftsman first, I ordered a cake,” I said to Jingyan.

“Okay.” Jingyan didn’t say anything more, which plunged me into a deep sense of self-doubt.

Did I make a mistake by taking this step?

I don’t know if Aunt Ouyang is still in contact with Zhao Chenyu, but judging from her last post, how cooperative she was with Zhao Chenyu, I felt a mix of anger and heartache running through her body, followed by a bit of… disgust.

Although I know that Jingyan will find out sooner or later, even if we have a big fight when she does find out, this cold war is more like being slowly tortured, watching our relationship being cut off piece by piece like my own flesh, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

They say time can change everything, but I really don’t have time now. Uncle Qin is going home soon, and Mom will notice the strangeness between us sooner or later.

What should I do? Is it really that I can’t control this?

The city scenery flashed by, and although they arrived at Mu Lingze’s house quickly, it was already noon.

“Squeak—” I entered the password to open the door, and it opened with a thud. As soon as Jingyan and I stepped inside, a cold light flashed and rushed toward our necks. I glanced down and saw a bright red sword.

“Hmph~” A cold, nasal sound came from the side. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with her ponytail high up, tightly bound by a fiery red ribbon. A deep red ribbon covered her eyes, adding a touch of mysterious charm, making people want to explore the world beneath her eyes.

A black choker and gold chain necklace adorned her neck, with a red coral pendant resembling congealed blood hanging from it. Beneath the pendant, her alluring figure was enveloped in a sexy, deep red halter-neck swimsuit covered in spider lily patterns, a seductive invitation.

The triangular bra accentuated her firm breasts, making them appear even more rounded, while a deep red bow adorned her slender waist, exuding a sensual charm.

Her fair skin and slender legs, set against the deep red backdrop, appeared even more alluring and alluring, yet also exuding a cold and menacing threat, like a flower blooming in the dark night, emitting a captivating fragrance that beckons one to pluck it.

“These two offerings are really nice; they’re even a couple. The Yin God will definitely like them, seeing a couple struggling during the sacrifice… ah~”

“Oh dear, Lingze! You scared me!”

Before Mu Lingze could finish his crazy, chuunibyou-like performance as a believer, he was lightly slapped by Jingyan.

“Oh dear~ Jingyan, can you let me finish my performance~” Mu Lingze sheathed his red sword and pulled Jingyan into the house.

I followed behind. Mu Lingze’s cosplay swimsuit barely covered her buttocks. As she swayed her long legs, the tender flesh below her buttocks peeked out from under the fabric, only to be covered again by the skirt, like a child playing hide-and-seek.

“How do I look, Young Master Lin?” Mu Lingze pulled Jingyan into the living room. The living room was very spacious, with wooden floors and a large light green sofa that could comfortably accommodate two people, creating a fresh and natural atmosphere. On the coffee table in front of the sofa were exquisite porcelain tea sets and a large teddy bear that was thirty or forty centimeters tall.

There was no television, but there was a projector on top of the sofa.

This giant teddy bear… why do I feel a little uncomfortable? Is it because Zhao Chenyu gave it to me? Seeing it reminds me of the pitiful state of Mu Lingze, who was completely bewildered and manipulated by Zhao Chenyu in the previous post.

That’s probably why…

“Young Master Lin, I told you to look at me, why are you staring at my doll!” Mu Lingze’s voice woke me up. I looked up and saw Mu Lingze standing in the center of the living room, holding a red sword in her right hand and pointing the sword with her left. One of her beautiful legs was bent and raised, posing as if she were holding a sword to defend herself. I wonder if she noticed that her red underwear was showing under her skirt.

“Okay, okay, you’re cosplaying Ning Hongye from a certain game, right?” I said.

“Yeah, there’s a comic convention in T City on May Day, I’m going to wear this! I guarantee I’ll outshine everyone! Young Master Lin, take some pictures of me later.” Mu Lingze said excitedly, while Jingyan next to him covered her mouth and laughed.

“Alright, hurry up and get back to work! Didn’t you see Lin Xuanyu is still carrying a cake?” Mu Qianning’s voice came from behind. Jingyan and I turned around and saw Mu Qianning walking over. She was dressed completely differently from Mu Lingze. A loose vest covered her alluring upper body, while she wore denim shorts that were barely bigger than briefs. It was a casual home outfit, but her shapely and slender legs, just like Mu Lingze’s, were clad in sheer black stockings. Combined with her delicate makeup, she created a striking contrast.

“Wow, you two are both dressed so nicely! No wonder it’s a birthday. Look at me, I didn’t even put on makeup, I just threw on a white sweatshirt and came out.” Jingyan was indeed as she said, with her black hair down and no makeup, wearing a white sweatshirt and jeans, a casual girlish style with a touch of voluptuous sexiness.

She was at least more voluptuous than the Mu twins.

I was wearing a black hoodie, but it wasn’t a matching pair with Jingyan’s.

“Xuanyu, put the cake on the table,” Mu Qianning said to me. I walked to the dining table next to me. The table was adjacent to the open kitchen and was already filled with various ingredients such as meat, vegetables, and noodles. There was a hot pot with two broths in the middle and an induction cooker underneath.

“Didn’t you say I was supposed to cook? Why are we having hot pot now?” I asked.

“How could I let you do that, my dear Lin? Hot pot is fine.” Mu Qianning walked to my side, opening the cake as she spoke. The cake was a fruit cake with two cartoon girls drawn on it and the words “Happy Birthday” written on it.

“Thank you, Xuanyu.” Mu Qianning lightly tossed her hair, and a fragrance wafted over, making me feel a little flutter in my heart.

“Lingze, come and clean up this mess. Stop playing with that broken sword.” Mu Qianning scolded Mu Lingze.

“Go ahead and do it~ Isn’t everything ready already~” Mu Lingze pouted, but didn’t refuse.

“Whatever makes you happy.” Mu Lingze is a diligent and capable female secretary outside, but becomes a homebody at home; Mu Qianning is a cold and beautiful feisty girl outside, but becomes a stay-at-home wife at home.

Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen this scene, I find it interesting every time I watch it.

People truly have a thousand faces—so what about Jingyan? What is Jingyan’s other side?

Thinking about this question, I suddenly realized that even though Jingyan and I have been together for so many years, there is still a sense of unfamiliarity between us, like a wall. If we break down this wall, our relationship might be better…?

“The meat is already cut up, and you can make your own dipping sauce. The meat was all air-shipped from the ranch in Inner Mongolia by Aunt Ouyang, and the vegetables are all from the small farm that Aunt Ouyang manages…” Mu Qianning turned on the induction cooker and invited us to sit down.

Jingyan sat to my right, Mulingze sat opposite me, and Muxianning sat opposite Jingyan.

“Are you sure you don’t need me to do it?” I asked again.

“Really, no need~” Mu Lingze put the base ingredients in the pot.

“Don’t you want to try my cooking?” I joked.

“Next time, next time~” Mu Lingze said.

“Yes, yes, next time!” Mu Qianning echoed.

I always felt something was off.

“The pot will boil soon.” Mu Lingze was still wearing Ning Hongye’s swimsuit. She lifted her blindfold over her head and prepared to cook the meat.

“Qianning, this is a gift from Xuanyu and me to you.” Jingyan handed the keys to the Mi SU8 to Mu Qianning.

“Huh?” Mu Qianning looked at the keys on the table, then looked up at Jingyan and me, her eyes wide open.

“This…is not…” She covered her mouth, speechless with surprise.

“No wonder, sister, you always drive that car, it gets so many stares,” Mu Lingze chimed in.

“Yes, it’s too late to snatch them now, so I took them as soon as I had the chance. One for each of us. But your key is with my mom. She’ll give it to you tomorrow,” Jingyan said to Mu Lingze with a smile.

“Jingyan… Waaah…” Mu Qianning’s eyes reddened, and tears slid down her fingers like broken pearls.

“Okay, don’t cry, we’re best friends,” Jingyan comforted her.

“Oh, that’s great! Thank you, the most beautiful Aunt Ouyang and Jingyan, and the most handsome Young Master Xuanyu!” Mu Lingze said as she poured us drinks. A full glass of beer made me a little nervous—I really can’t drink alcohol.

“Cheers!” Mu Lingze raised his glass, and the three of us followed suit.

“Happy birthday to you two beauties!” I called out, glancing at Jingyan. Jingyan had just finished wishing everyone a happy birthday, but her eyes were fixed on Mu Qianning, whose eyes were red, her lips pursed, and her lips trembling with excitement.

Mu Lingze stared intently at me.

“Dry!”

I took a sip and couldn’t stand the bitterness. I put down the cup and looked at the three beauties, who all downed half of their cups in one gulp. To my surprise, Jingyan actually drank more than half of it in one go.

Keep in mind this is a beer mug; one gulp from it and a can of Coke is gone.

“Mmm~” Jingyan wiped her mouth and drank very smoothly and naturally.

“Oh dear, Young Master Xuanyu forgot my birthday yesterday, and I was planning to punish you with drinks today, but considering the gift, I won’t let you drink too much,” Mu Lingze said while cooking the meat.

“No! Xuanyu, you drink!” To my surprise, Jingyan actually offered me a drink; she never let me drink before.

Although Jingyan’s attitude puzzled me, I could only finish the remaining half of the cup.

“Burp—” A loud burp made the three beauties giggle. I asked while eating, “Qianning, why didn’t you invite Chu Yun? Or did you two make plans for tonight?”

“We didn’t invite him. It was just a few of us good friends, our closest friends. Even if we’re not lovers, we’re still super, super good friends. It was just the two of you, right, Lingze?” Mu Qianning’s answer left me speechless.

“Yeah, yeah, sigh~ Speaking of couples, I wish I had a boyfriend like that. I remember I had a boyfriend in high school, but my sister ruined it.” Mu Lingze pouted.

“What do you mean I ruined it? That guy was clearly unreliable. He just kept pestering you and had no ambition whatsoever. He was only after your body,” Mu Qianning retorted.

“We have the same body, so why doesn’t he look for you?” Mu Lingze’s words were quite interesting.

“He dares to come to me if he wants to harm you? Do you think everyone is like Lin Xuanyu?” Mu Qianning said to me, but her eyes were fixed on Jingyan.

I think I’m starting to understand what’s going on in this situation today.

“Eat, eat, eat! The meat’s ready!” Jingyan interrupted. I also picked up a strainer and shredded the meat for Jingyan.

“Jingyan, you eat~” Jingyan took the bowl and accepted it.

“Isn’t there someone in the company who’s pursuing you, Lingze?” Jingyan asked. I didn’t know why she interrupted the topic and then continued it herself, but her expression was very natural and there was no change.

“Don’t even mention it. Those ugly ducklings and swans, I don’t care for them at all,” Lingze replied disdainfully. Then, suddenly remembering something, she quickly explained, “I was talking about relationships. Those guys have decent jobs, but as boyfriends… no way!”

“So what kind of person do you like? Qian Ning already has a boyfriend, aren’t you worried?” Jing Yan suddenly sounded like a matchmaker, and I could sense an aggressive undertone in her words.

“Me? I don’t know. It’s not easy for two people to be together properly. Even if there are some bumps along the way, they should talk things out and then continue to be together properly. Don’t you think so, sister?” Mu Lingze’s words finally made me understand the situation.

“That’s right, ‘fighting at the head of the bed and making up at the foot of the bed’! That saying is quite good, but it omits the most important part of the story from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, hehe.” Mu Qianning suddenly blurted out a dirty joke in a funny tone.

As she spoke, she gestured with her chopsticks from left to right, indicating “from the head of the bed to the bedside.” And for “the most important part,” she actually picked up two shrimp, put them head to head and tail to tail, forming a circle, and then poked the hole in the middle with the tip of her chopsticks several times.

Holy crap! Putting everything else aside, the shape really does resemble it.

“Pfft—hahaha!” After reading it, Mu Lingze leaned back in his chair and suddenly burst into laughter. Jingyan also covered her mouth with the back of her hand, her body shaking with laughter. I also held my forehead, my face turning red from holding back my laughter.

The hot pot was boiling, with red oil bubbling on one side and clear water gurgling on the other, and steam rising and dispersing, making the atmosphere among the four of us even more lively.

“Hey, don’t laugh! Am I right? Am I right, Young Master Lin?” Mu Qianning asked me, the only boy there.

“Yes, yes, yes…” I replied helplessly, but then I seemed to remember something and turned to look at Jingyan. She was also smiling, but it was a bit forced.

Yes, they say that if you fight in bed, you make love in bed, and you make up at the end of the night. But the reason we’re having a cold war is precisely because of what happens in bed.

So their persuasion… The laughter gradually subsided, and Mu Qianning looked at Jingyan’s still aloof face, then awkwardly turned to look at Lingze.

“Eat, eat, eat!” I quickly reassured them.

“Sister, you eat!” Mu Lingze put food on Mu Qianning’s plate, and I put food on Jingyan’s plate.

“Let’s drink! Cheers!” I was surprised again. Jingyan took the initiative to pick up her glass. This was not the first glass. Was it the fourth or the fifth?

I don’t know either, because I also had two drinks and I’m feeling dizzy now.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt unwell from drinking before, and I’ve never seen Jingyan drink like this before.

“Eat up, sis! Hey Xuanyu, why did you add vinegar?”

“You’ve finished your dipping sauce? Let me make you some more. Add some chive blossom sauce, a spoonful of dry seasoning, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame paste, and two drops of sesame oil. Mmm~ Delicious~ Aunt Ouyang’s oyster sauce is the real deal. The ones we usually eat are just blended.”

“Yes, it’s very expensive!”

“drink wine!”

“drink!”

“Jingyan, stop drinking! You’ve already had enough!”

“Xuanyu, don’t stop me, I want to drink!”

“Here’s some meat for you, eat more…”

“Hmm…you eat too!”

“Young Master Xuanyu, serve me some!”

“Okay, I’ll serve you some!”

“What are you two arguing about? My sister and I are so envious of you two…”

“Don’t talk! Drink!”

“Jingyan, drink less~”

“I know!”

…

After a few rounds of drinks—and it really was a few rounds, because Mu Lingze had already poured me drinks three times—Jingyan not only had Mu Qianning pour for her, but she also opened several cans and drank them down in one go.

When did she start liking to drink?

I lay back in my chair, rubbing my swollen belly, watching Jingyan next to me tilt her head back and finish the last bit of wine in her glass. I couldn’t even open my mouth to stop her.

“Beep—” With the sound of the induction cooker being turned off, the birthday party for several people came to an end.

“Oh dear, I ate too much and forgot to take pictures…” Mu Lingze lay on the table, shaking the wine bottle, muttering, “Yin Yin True God! Have a bottle! What’s the use of believing in you if I can’t even get a drink?”

“Qianning, I’m going to my bedroom to sleep for a while.” Jingyan got up and left.

“Let me tidy you up.” Mu Qianning followed him into the bedroom.

“I’m going to lie down on the sofa for a while.” I stood up, holding onto the table, and then wobbled and fell onto the sofa. There was a blanket on the sofa in Mu Lingze’s house, and it was very comfortable to lie on.

My eyes were half-closed in a drunken stupor, and what came into view was a large teddy bear on the coffee table in front of me. The bear’s two eyes were staring straight at me on the sofa, making me feel like the fur beneath me was like a bed of needles.

“Hmm~ Young Master Lin~ Make some room for me, I’ll lie down next to you.” Mu Lingze walked over, reeking of alcohol.

“What’s this bear? What’s it? Why is it here?” I asked.

“This one! Let me demonstrate for you, Big Bear! Big Bear!” Mu Lingze shouted loudly.

“I’m here~” the teddy bear responded with a dull voice, which sounded a lot like “Big Bear” from the cartoon “Boonie Bears”.

“What time is it?” Mu Lingze asked.

“It’s 1:12 PM now, the weather is sunny, it’s a good day to go out and have fun, so don’t just laze around on the sofa!” Xiong Da said, his voice mumbling as if he’d been drinking.

“That’s quite interesting. Where did you get it?” I asked Mu Lingze.

“Zhao Chenyu gave it to me~” After Mu Lingze finished speaking, I remembered that Zhao Chenyu had mentioned in his post that he would give Mu Lingze a doll. I didn’t expect it to be this. Then I remembered the scene of Mu Lingze and Zhao Chenyu having sex. I sat up and leaned against the sofa, moving away from Mu Lingze.

“Why are you so far away from me?” Mu Lingze muttered.

“That bastard Zhao Chenyu!” I cursed casually, gritting my teeth.

“Yes! Well said! That bastard! That scoundrel!” Mu Lingze chimed in, not only agreeing but also raising her hands in approval.

I don’t know if she was drunk, but when I heard Mu Lingze cursing Zhao Chenyu, I didn’t feel the disgust I was expressing. In fact, her face turned even redder after she finished cursing.

“Anyway, it has nothing to do with us anymore…” Mu Lingze leaned closer to me. I was sitting in the middle of the large sofa, and Mu Lingze’s legs were lying on the sofa, her body leaning towards me. The straps of her sexy cosplay swimsuit had slipped down slightly, and I could even see the nipple of one of Mu Lingze’s breasts.

“I haven’t asked you for a while. Has he come to the company to cause trouble? After all, Aunt Ouyang kicked him out.” When I asked Mu Lingze, I couldn’t say anything about Zhao Chenyu and Aunt Ouyang, so I could only say that Zhao Chenyu came to cause trouble.

“No, and it seems like he doesn’t have much to do over there. After all, he’s graduating soon, so he’s probably busy with his graduation project. I don’t know the specifics,” Mu Lingze pouted.

My heart sank. Isn’t it clear?

“Who cares! Damn it! Finding him a job was a mistake.” That’s really what I was thinking. I never expected Zhao Chenyu to be such an ingrate.

I have quite a few junior classmates who are good friends with me, but why did I help him back then?

“Right…” Mu Lingze stroked his fair and tender legs, seemingly admiring himself, or perhaps showing off, with a hint of… seduction.

“Crack—bang~” The bedroom door was gently opened and then carefully closed. Mu Qianning came out, her long legs in black stockings striding across the room, and sat down on my other side.

“Jingyan drank too much and has already fallen asleep.” Mu Qianning poured a few glasses of warm water from the water dispenser next to the sofa, and Mu Lingze picked them up and drank them.

“You really are something, you don’t even know how to pour water for Xuanyu.” Mu Qianning complained about her inconsiderate younger sister.

“Xuanyu isn’t an outsider, is he? I’ve already told him the house password, why are you being so polite? You agree, right?” Mu Lingze said the last sentence to me, and as she spoke, she puffed out her chest and bumped into me. But she didn’t notice that she was holding a glass of water, and the water in the glass spilled out from the violent shaking and splashed onto my pants.

“Oh dear, you’re so clumsy!” Mu Qianning quickly grabbed the paper and squatted down next to me to wipe me. Her movements were a bit rushed, and she didn’t notice that her hand had already touched my crotch.

“It’s alright, no need to wipe it…” I gestured for Mu Qianning to get up.

“Waaah…” Suddenly I saw Mu Qianning’s eyes redden again.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Seeing you two arguing made Lingze and me feel bad too. We wanted to persuade you to make things right, but we sisters are still outsiders, so we didn’t dare to say too much. We thought we could invite you two out for a meal on your birthday, but… sob sob…” Mu Qianning sobbed as she explained what this party, which was just the four of them and didn’t feel like a birthday party at all, was all about.

Actually, I guessed it too. Jingyan is smart and quick-witted, so she must have noticed it as well, but just like Mu Qianning said, it was no use.

Mu Lingze, who was next to me, put his arm around mine and rested his head on my shoulder. He said sadly, “I… I was very surprised when I found out about Aunt Ouyang and you, but after thinking about it, I think it’s quite normal.”

“When I’m in a bad mood, under a lot of pressure, or feeling irritable and need to vent, I even use a vibrator to masturbate. Not to mention Aunt Ouyang, she’s under even more pressure and at an age where she’s very sexually active. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this… Uncle Qin isn’t around. Looking for a man? I don’t dare to look randomly. I’m afraid I’ll just cause trouble instead of getting any pleasure. Aunt Ouyang is such an outstanding woman, she would have plenty of suitors wherever she goes, but who could she possibly be interested in? It’s only you, Xuanyu.”

As Mu Lingze spoke, she kept her breasts wrapped around my arm, the soft flesh of her breasts rubbing against my skin, reminding me of Aunt Ouyang’s breasts holding my penis; her lips were close to my ear, her breath, tinged with alcohol, swirling around my head, eroding my reason.

Mu Lingze’s body is so soft; this girl has been ruined by Zhao Chenyu again…

An instinctive reaction seemed to have caused him to raise his head.

“We dare not say much, because the matter between the three of you is your family matter. All we can do is stay by your side…” Mu Qianning was still squatting between my legs, her hand stroking the inside of my thigh, lamenting.

“Look at Jingyan drinking today. Actually, this isn’t the first time. She often drinks alone these days, and her roommates have bought several cases of alcohol…” Mu Qianning’s words left me stunned for a moment.

“well–”

I covered my face with my remaining hand, let out a long sigh, and felt the helpless pain amplified by the intoxication, which also clouded my sense of direction.

What should I do?

Is there really no way for me to maintain this happiness?

“Xuanyu~ Please don’t be so sad, okay?” Even the usually carefree Lingze’s voice was filled with sorrow as she opened her arms and hugged me tightly.

“I will take good care of Jingyan and make her happy, not only for her but also for you, Xuanyu…” Mu Qianning looked up at me, her eyes sparkling. I didn’t know what emotion she was trying to convey. I only heard a “thud” and Mu Qianning’s body swayed. Her black-stockinged legs, which were squatting, gently hit the ground with her knees.

“Me too, about Aunt Ouyang, I… I don’t know, but I will help relieve her stress, not only because Aunt Ouyang is so good to my sisters, but also for you, Xuanyu…” Mu Lingze rubbed her flushed face against my neck, speaking obediently and gently.

Hearing these two stunningly beautiful twins who look exactly alike say the same thing, I wanted to be surprised, but I couldn’t be.

“No matter what, we two sisters will always be by your side. We’ll do anything to make you happy.” Mu Qianning leaned down and lay on my lower abdomen, her hand only a few centimeters away from my penis.

“Yes, I’ll do anything, Xuanyu, I like you so much!” Mu Lingze stood up and pounced on me, her pretty red face suddenly looming large in front of me, until a soft, intoxicating scent pressed against my lips.

It’s Mu Lingze’s lips…

Her soft, fragrant tongue easily pried open my teeth and teased my tongue, just like Jingyan’s hand when I was a child, pulling me to play. But now the person in front of me was neither Jingyan nor was it my hand being held.

“Hmm… Hmm~” Mu Lingze’s fragrant breath brushed against my face, instantly relaxing my aching nerves. It was like someone who had worked all day and night suddenly lying on a familiar, soft bed, wanting only to sink into this warmth, wanting only to enter that sweet dreamland, and not wanting to come out.

“You naughty Lingze, how can you be so impulsive? Be gentle~” Mu Qianning’s voice came from below. I had my eyes closed and couldn’t see, but I felt my pants being pulled down. The penis hidden in my underwear was like a prisoner being let out for a walk and then being locked in an extremely warm place.

“Hmm?” I wanted to look down, but Mu Lingze was hugging my neck and kissing me, so I didn’t want to open my eyes and ruin this beautiful scene.

“Hiss—” The sudden sensation made me shudder. I felt my foreskin being pushed open by warm, tender flesh, and my glans was forced to peek out from under the covering, entering a warmer and more moist swaddling cloth. A softer, more flexible little flesh was teasing it, just like a woman who has just become a mother teasing the baby in her arms.

Mu Qianning…is giving me oral sex?

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!” Even if I couldn’t believe it, the bursts of warm sounds that exploded in my ears reminded me that one of the beautiful twin sisters was kissing me, and the other was giving me oral sex.

My God, what an ultimate experience!

Even though I’ve already taken possession of Aunt Ouyang and Jingyan, this stunning mother and daughter, I’ve never experienced being attacked from both sides like this before!

“Hmm~ Hmm~” Mu Lingze kissed me while pulling my hand over. My palm suddenly sank into a soft mass, with a small, hard spot inside that tickled my palm. A current flowed directly up my arm and into my heart, making me want to sink deeper into this soft embrace.

This feeling is familiar, yet different.

I’ve had sex with Jingyan and Aunt Ouyang before. While I was kissing her, her lower body was inside me, and I was being enveloped from both sides, enjoying it. But—when I raised my other hand, it was immediately supported by something soft and guided to a place that was silky smooth and full of silk threads—this must be the top of Mu Qianning’s head, right?

My hand was lifted up by Mu Qianning’s head and then dropped down. Each time, my hard penis would probe deeper and deeper into the cavity, until it was completely submerged, until a hard head of flesh probed into my pubic hair and poked at my lower abdomen.

The lingering aroma of wine and the warmth of the sofa made me feel as if it were a king’s throne. As the king, I was enjoying the service of my two beloved concubines, intoxicated by the wine of power, unable to extricate myself.

“Uh! Uh! Mmm!” I was truly unable to extricate myself. Under the teasing of Mu Qianning’s tongue and the kisses of Mu Lingze’s lips, I quickly loosened my grip and ejaculated into the warm mouth that had been stimulating me.
