Chapter 14 Part 2: Cancelled Dates, Burning Loins
Silence.
"Um... Qiong? Are you okay?"
Seeing the disappointment on her face, he rushed, "Sorry but it's urgent. I need to head out today, or..."
"I know." Her head lowered slightly, listless. "I won't blame senpai."
"And... me too. A friend from military training invited me to dinner tonight, so I was going to ask if senpai could change the flight to tomorrow... But since it's canceled, it's all the same..."
She smiled bitterly.
"Friends..." Xia stroked her cheek lightly. "It's good to make friends. In that case go have fun tonight."
"When you come back, I'll make it up to you."
"Mm... Got it. Good luck, senpai!"
She forced a bright smile, stepped forward, and hugged him hard saying nothing more.
"Qiong... cough." Xia cleared his throat and asked, "Um... what time are you going to meet your friends?"
"Mm? Around 6:30, I guess. Why?"
"Before you go... we could..."
She blinked then smiled. "Of course!"
"As long as senpai wants me it's always fine."
Sweet words paired with a pure smile the heart couldn't help but tremble.
He scooped her up immediately and, with a yelp, they tumbled onto the sheets.
...
"I'm here."
Hearing that, Ye looked up and couldn't help smiling.
"You look great today. It suits you."
Qiong had a small bag on her shoulder and wore a black short-sleeve dress with white floral accents, keeping it from being plain.
The hem just covered more than half of her thighs; her legs were sheathed in flesh-colored tights, and high heels narrowed the height gap.
Today she dressed a bit sexier than usual. One would think her petite frame would make it odd, but with her excellent proportions, it actually gave a pure-yet-desirable vibe.
"Oh." She pursed her lips, unconsciously twirling a lock by her cheek, and responded perfunctorily.
What is this...
As if we were actually a couple...
"Where's Xia Wenxue?" Ye walked up and boldly took her hand, gripping tight so she couldn't pull away.
She tried, but her strength couldn't match his so she gave up and answered weakly, "Senpai... the institute needed him urgently he just left..."
"Hoho, perfect." Ye lowered his voice. "In the next few days, his girlfriends will be properly 'moistened' by me."
"Who wants to be moistened by you..." Even her retort was feeble from her mood.
He could see her disappointment.
She truly loved Xia and had looked forward to this date thus, the cancellation hit hard.
What a pity, Xia since you don't have time for your girlfriends, I'll satisfy them for you.
"Xiaoqiong, don't be sad. We're going to have fun cheer up."
"Mm..."
Still weak.
Ye suddenly grabbed her and kissed her in public.
"?!"
Her eyes trembled. She froze in place.
Eh ?
H-he kissed me in front of so many people?
She could feel glances from all directions, and faintly heard remarks about how sweet the young couple was making out in broad daylight.
Her cheeks grew red. He wrapped an arm around her waist and kept kissing giving no room to struggle.
Her small hands flailed weakly behind his back she wanted him to let go but he wouldn't. She could only let him take her kiss.
After a long while, they parted. Face flushed, she shoved him hard and staggered back, chest heaving with embarrassed fury.
"You !"
"Alright, Xiaoqiong." Ye smiled and took her hand. "Let's go. We'll be late."
She pressed her lips thin and pinched his hand to show displeasure, then let herself be pulled toward Huaqiang BBQ.
Though the method angered her, her gloom had faded.
At the BBQ, Ye checked his phone and went up to the second-floor private room.
"Evening, you two~ Why so lovey-dovey holding hands the whole way?"
Seeing them, Lin Qing teased.
Ye swung Qiong's hand, grinning. "Of course what's wrong with a boyfriend holding his girlfriend's hand?"
"I even wanted to carry her here!"
At that, single guys booed.
"Showing off right away, huh?!"
"You don't sleep too hard tonight!"
Qiong lowered her head, cheeks slightly warm, saying nothing.
Aah what am I doing ! Shouldn't I be refuting him?
"Alright, quiet! Come on, Qiong, sit."
"Mm..."
Naturally, Qiong sat with Ye, Lin Qing on her other side.
More people from another group trickled in. Qiong sat there silently the whole time.
After a few exchanges, Ye noticed her stiff posture she wasn't good with crowded situations.
He slipped a hand onto her thigh.
Her tense leg muscles said she was very nervous.
Feeling his hand there, she flinched lightly and pressed it down, glancing up shy and flustered.
Not here in front of so many !
He leaned to whisper, "You're my girlfriend now. What's wrong with a little touch?"
"Hey hey, Ye whispering secrets to your girlfriend?" a guy joked.
"Haha, what's wrong with secret talk?"
"So, Qiong, when did you two start dating?" a girl next to Lin Qing asked. "We couldn't have guessed during training..."
"Back then you seemed hard to approach," Lin Qing laughed and reached to rub Qiong's stiff shoulders. "Now, look Qiong is so cute~"
"Qiong say something," Ye said softly.
At that name, she shivered.
If not for the eyes on her, she'd have glared daggers at Ye.
Calling me by senpai's special name !
"Don't be shy nothing to hide," Lin Qing chimed in. "Falling in love any reason is normal."
It's not that!
Qiong took a deep breath. "It It was during training, on the mountain..."
What am I saying?
"I wasn't very fit so I fell behind..."
Why am I saying this?
"Ye stayed back to take care of me..."
No I'm not admitting I'm his girlfriend...!
"My feet hurt later from lack of exercise he said he'd... carry me to the top."
I'm senpai's girlfriend I'm senpai's girlfriend
"When we almost reached the top, he said he was worried others would misunderstand and put me down. We walked the last bit together..."
He threatened me...!
"And I guess that's when..." Qiong lifted her head and smiled bashfully. "I... started to like him."
No, no !
Those aren't my true feelings!
That bastard forced me to say it in front of everyone
"Eh~ He carried you up?"
A guy marveled. "Damn that mountain almost killed me and he did that? Ye's so good to you."
"Of course." Ye smiled. "I fell in love at first sight decided to pursue her."
"What's a little hardship for the one you love?"
"That's wonderful." Lin Qing smiled at Qiong. "Having a boyfriend willing to suffer for you so enviable."
"Yeah..."
