Chapter 123: That’s it for tonight

Any man would want to kiss and hug the woman he likes!

Although Cheng Jingmo is particularly conservative and not very manly in this regard, Yu Xiangnian could tell from the two accidental touches tonight that Cheng Jingmo was both shy and fond of such intimacy!

The reaction tonight was very different from before!

So tonight, while the iron was hot, Yu Xiangnian wanted to take their relationship a step further.

Cheng Jingmo lowered his gaze. The delicate, fair face before him, with its enchanting almond eyes, was staring directly at him.

Cheng Jingmo felt as if his soul had been captured by her gaze. He stared at her tempting lips, and his Adam’s apple moved involuntarily.

He wanted to kiss her, he really did!

For him, kissing someone meant affection and responsibility, a commitment for life, with no change.

Besides Yu Xiangnian, he had never liked anyone else. He was committed to her for life!

Seeing Cheng Jingmo hesitate, Yu Xiangnian said, “If you don’t kiss me now, you might never get the chance…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Cheng Jingmo stepped forward, embraced her, and covered her lips with his.

Yu Xiangnian was surprised and stared at Cheng Jingmo with wide eyes. Cheng Jingmo looked back at her with eyes full of unspoken tenderness.

Yu Xiangnian smiled with satisfaction, wrapped her arms around his neck, and closed her eyes.

Both were inexperienced, mimicking the actions they had seen in books or on TV.

They kissed tenderly and slowly, forgetting everything around them.

Somehow they ended up on the bed, with Cheng Jingmo lying below and Yu Xiangnian on top, their lips and teeth mingling.

Eventually, Yu Xiangnian felt her lower abdomen pressed against him, and Cheng Jingmo’s eyes were filled with unmasked desire.

She wasn’t ready to go that far tonight. As she adjusted her breathing, she rolled off Cheng Jingmo.

Cheng Jingmo’s lips were fuller, and he looked at her with hopeful eyes, his voice a bit hoarse, “Yu Xiangnian…”

Yu Xiangnian cupped his face and gave his lips a couple of light pecks, “That’s enough for tonight.”

Cheng Jingmo’s eyes showed disappointment and a hint of grievance.

Before he could fully express his grievance, he was shocked when Yu Xiangnian’s hand suddenly reached to touch him.

“You…” Cheng Jingmo was stunned and embarrassed, jumping off the bed in a hurry.

Yu Xiangnian, pleased, said with a smile, “I suggest you take a cold shower.”

Cheng Jingmo’s ears and neck turned red, and he hurriedly ran out of the bedroom.

He had never met someone so bold, so shamelessly bold!

Watching Cheng Jingmo flee in a panic, Yu Xiangnian raised her eyebrows with satisfaction.

She had just tested him briefly, and he was excellent!

Cheng Jingmo felt uncomfortable, ran under the faucet, and stayed under the cold water until he calmed down before returning to the room.

Yu Xiangnian was lying in bed under the covers, with only her head exposed, smiling happily at him.

“Feeling better?” she asked.

How should he answer such a question?

Cheng Jingmo wished she wouldn’t concern herself with him.

He avoided her captivating gaze and quickly turned off the light.

As soon as he lay down on the bed, Yu Xiangnian snuggled into his arms, and Cheng Jingmo pulled her close.

“Cheng Jingmo, was this your first kiss?” Yu Xiangnian asked knowingly.

“No.”

“Ah?” Yu Xiangnian was so surprised she almost jumped up, “Who else have you kissed?”

“The dog at home.”

Cheng Jingmo was also learning to tease her, and Yu Xiangnian didn’t back down, “Did you also use your tongue with that dog?”

“It licked me.”

“Then you should have licked back!”

“…” Cheng Jingmo bent down and kissed her on the top of her head, “Yu Xiangnian…”

“Hmm?”

After waiting for a while without any response, Yu Xiangnian asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, let’s sleep.”

Cheng Jingmo silently vowed in his heart: Yu Xiangnian, in this lifetime, I want no one but you! I will always treat you well!

The next day at the military camp, Yu Xiangyang saw that Cheng Jingmo had a cut on his lip and asked, “What happened to your mouth?”

“Bitten by a dog,” Cheng Jingmo said with a hint of pride.

“What dog? Dared to bite a person?” Yu Xiangyang didn’t notice Cheng Jingmo’s expression. He said seriously, “I haven’t seen any dogs in the family quarters!”

“It’s the dog at my house.”

Pure Yu Xiangyang still didn’t catch the implication and looked astonished, “How can you have a dog? Xiangnian is afraid of dogs!”

Forget it! Talking to someone who hasn’t even touched a woman’s hand is pointless!

Cheng Jingmo’s expression returned to calm, “Last night, I saw you at the cinema entrance.”

Yu Xiangyang’s eyes widened in shock, and he asked repeatedly, “You also went to the movies? Did only you see me, or did Xiangnian see me too? Did you only see me, or did you see others?”

“Xiangnian saw you. I told her she was mistaken and then pulled her away.”

Yu Xiangyang sighed in relief, “As long as she didn’t see it.”

Cheng Jingmo said, “Keeping it hidden like this isn’t a solution. Sooner or later, they will find out.”

Yu Xiangyang said with some difficulty, “It’s not the right time to talk about it yet.”

Cheng Jingmo exposed him, “You know your family won’t agree, so you didn’t plan to say anything.”

Yu Xiangyang was annoyed, “I have nothing with her. What’s there to talk about!”

Cheng Jingmo continued, “Then while you have nothing, just stop any further interaction. Don’t waste her time or make your family worry about you.”

Yu Xiangyang glared at him, “Cheng Jingmo, do you always listen to your family? If your family didn’t like Xiangnian, would you not marry her?”

Cheng Jingmo answered without hesitation, “I would marry her.”

He hadn’t considered marrying anyone else besides Yu Xiangnian!

“Wow!” Yu Xiangyang finally got the hint, “You’ve really fallen for Xiangnian?”

Cheng Jingmo said, “Just this once last night. I won’t cover for you again. I don’t want to deceive Yu Xiangnian.”

“Damn!” Yu Xiangyang seemed to have uncovered a huge secret, “You really like my sister?!”

That was obvious!

Cheng Jingmo didn’t bother with him and turned to leave.

Yu Xiangyang followed, chattering nonstop, “It’s over! Cheng Jingmo! If you don’t like her, you’re being bullied by her! Now that you like her, she’ll bully you even more!”

“Luckily your family has a dog. When she bullies you, you can let the dog scare her! She was bitten by a dog when she was young and is most afraid of dogs! She’ll definitely hide in the house and won’t dare come out!”

Cheng Jingmo suddenly stopped, “Are you her brother?”

Yu Xiangyang was taken aback, then realized and said indignantly, “I’m doing this for your own good! You’re just a pushover! Let her bully you to death!”

After work in the afternoon, Yu Xiangyang insisted on going to Cheng Jingmo’s house to see what kind of dog he had.

As soon as he entered, he saw Yu Xiangnian running out of the bedroom with an unmistakable joy in her voice, “Cheng Jingmo, you’re back!”

Cheng Jingmo’s voice was softer than Yu Xiangyang had ever heard, “What do you want to eat? I’ll make it.”

“Hmm…” Yu Xiangnian furrowed her brows in thought, “Braised noodles, can you make that?”

The two were only focused on each other, completely ignoring Yu Xiangyang standing aside.
