Chapter 077 Drip

After discussing with Jing Ran, Jing Li decided to work at the new hotel in Hong Kong.

The next day, Jing Li informed Jing Ran’s father her decision, and the preparations for the journey to Hong Kong began.

With two weeks left before Jing Li started working at the hotel in Hong Kong, the temperature in City G began to drop in November. Jing Ran prepared a lot of warm clothes for Jing Li. Jing Ran was busy with work, so he had ordered many clothes online, and the house was filled with various packages.

Jing Li sat helplessly on the sofa in the living room, watched Jing Ran eagerly unpack the delivery on the blanket on the floor.

“Ranran, couldn’t you have told me when you were buying clothes for me?” Jing Li said dejectedly. Half of these clothes were extremely ugly, and the other half were extremely childish.

“These clothes were warm!” Jing Ran was more practical; he bought warm clothes for the sake of warmth, without being picky about the style.

Jing Li got up from the sofa, sat on the blanket on the floor, picked out many pieces of clothing, and placed them on the side without showing any gratitude. “Return these for me.”

Jing Ran: “…”

Jing Ran took out his phone and handed it to Jing Li, saying, “Then pick the ones you like.”

After organizing the clothes, Jing Ran took out a large bag of medicinal herbs and placed it on the dining table, enough to make a pot of soup, wrapped neatly in clean white paper. Thinking about Jing Li being alone outside for the next six months, unable to cook and eating fast food every day, it was heartbreaking. So, he decided to prepare some medicinal herbs for her to make soup and nourish her body.

He said to Jing Li, “Lili, when you went to Hong Kong, you bought a stew pot, and then cooked soup twice a week.”

“You soak the medicinal herbs for about two hours, add some meat, and it’s ready for stewing. Very convenient,” Jing Ran said.

Jing Li saw that he had packed many small packages of medicinal herbs and asked, “With so many, when will I finish eating them?”

Jing Ran replied indifferently, “If you don’t slack off, it should last for about two months. By then, I’ll prepare new ones for you.”

“Oh… alright,” Jing Li responded.

Jing Ran walked back to the coffee table, took out his wallet, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Jing Li, saying, “Lili, keep this card. When you arrive in Hong Kong, buy whatever you want. Don’t deprive yourself.”

Jing Li quickly pushed it away and said, “No need, I have money. I’ve been working for several months and haven’t spent my salary. I’ve been eating and living with you. I’m almost embarrassed.”

Jing Ran insisted on handing the bank card to Jing Li, saying, “Lili, just take it. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

“After all, this money will be yours in the future. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Jing Li crossed her arms and said coquettishly, “Who said I’ll marry you in the future?”

Jing Ran became unhappy upon hearing this and asked, “If you won’t marry me, then who will you marry, that little scoundrel?”

“Guess!” Jing Li mischievously replied.

Jing Li playfully walked back to the bedroom, while Jing Ran followed, still angry. Jing Li got into bed and covered herself with the blanket, preparing to sleep.

Jing Ran pressed down on her. He was angry at first, but then he smirked and said, “Lili, today I found out that there are no sanitary napkins in the trash can at home!”

Jing Li, feeling annoyed and speechless, replied, “Can your focus be normal?”

Jing Ran blinked, with an expectant expression, “No work tomorrow.”

Jing Li responded with a sigh, “…”

“Lili, what do you think?” Jing Ran asked.

Jing Li remained silent.

Having never interacted with other guys before, Jing Li didn’t know what the atmosphere should be like for such things. On TV, the main characters would exchange passionate glances, filled with desire, and then naturally undress, and then…

Jing Ran asked her what she thought. Did he expect her to take the initiative?

“I think… we should go to bed early, wake up early tomorrow, and go mountain climbing. It’s been a while since we’ve done that.”

Jing Ran showed a disappointed look, “Oh…” He no longer pressed against Jing Li’s body, turned around, lay in the empty space beside her, adjusted the blanket, and got ready to sleep.

Jing Ran didn’t insist, and Jing Li was somewhat surprised. In fact, Jing Ran respected her thoughts; he wouldn’t force her if she wasn’t willing. However, Jing Li hoped he would take the initiative at the right time. Sometimes, he was just too straightforward, driving away all the romance and mystery.

Seeing him lie down, Jing Li turned off the bedroom light.

Usually, after turning off the lights, the two would chat about things like what to eat tomorrow or what activities to do. But tonight, there was a heavy silence, and Jing Ran didn’t say a word.

Jing Li spoke first, “Ranran, how about having ramen after climbing the mountain tomorrow?”

“Oh…”

“Shall we visit grandma in the afternoon?”

“Mmm…”

Jing Li sighed, “…”

Such a silly kid!

Jing Ran was just that childish, and she was well aware of it.

Between the two of them, he wouldn’t take the initiative, being timid and afraid of upsetting her.

He needed her to be explicit for him to dare to do what he wanted.

“Ranran, didn’t you say you wanted to watch a short film to learn something?”

“Yeah.”

“How’s the learning going? Mastered the essentials?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, let’s give it a try…”

“How do we try?”

Jing Li said, “…Didn’t you say you would teach me once you learned it? Are you not going to teach me anymore?”

“I will!” Jing Ran pulled Jing Li into his arms and asked, “Do you want to learn now?”

Jing Li blushed slightly and replied, “Mmm.”

“Okay, let me explain the steps first. First, we kiss, and then I will kiss you while touching your breasts and also touch your private area…”

Jing Li, originally shy and nervous, felt extremely frustrated upon hearing Jing Ran’s words. He really knew how to ruin the atmosphere. Jing Li didn’t give him any face and said, “It sounds so complicated. Let’s just go to sleep.”

“Don’t… Do you think there are too many steps? We can actually simplify it, but I’m afraid that if we skip the foreplay, it might hurt you.”

Jing Li said, “Ranran, can you just do it silently without talking?”

“I’m afraid you won’t learn it properly…”

To be honest, although Jing Li had no experience in this area, she felt that her first time with Jing Ran would definitely be a unique one.

Jing Li lifted her head and, illuminated by the dim streetlight outside the window, gently touched Jing Ran’s cheek, making a soft “shh” sound.

Jing Ran quieted down.

Jing Li shifted her body, moving closer to the head of the bed, aligning herself with Jing Ran’s head. Her lips approached his. Jing Ran held her slender waist and responded to her kiss.

After the passionate kiss ended, their faint breaths lingered near each other’s ears.

“Ranran, take me…”

“Then let’s begin.”

Jing Ran pushed up her nightgown, and Jing Li cooperated, allowing him to remove her clothes.

Her bare upper body was exposed before him. Although the room was not lit, they relied on the dim streetlight outside. Jing Ran had high myopia, so in such dim lighting, his vision was blurry. Without thinking, he reached for the wall and turned on the lights in the room.

“Why… Why did you turn on the lights…” Jing Li covered her chest with her hands, feeling a mixture of fear and shyness.

“I… I can’t see.”

“Oh…”

Jing Ran pressed his entire body against Jing Li’s, kissing her cheeks, ears, and neck… gently, like a feather brushing over her skin, tickling her. His hands caressed every inch of her body, warm and arousing, igniting a fire within her.

Feather-like kisses landed on every inch of her skin, the movements somewhat awkward but stirring her thoughts.

“Ranran…”

“Hmm?”

“Say you love me.”

“I love you…”

Jing Li, beneath him, was stirred into a pool of tenderness. Her moist eyes watched as he knelt on the bed, removing his sleep pants along with his underwear.

Jing Li covered her eyes, unwilling to look at his naked body. Jing Ran knelt above her, gently pulling away her hands covering her eyes and soothingly said, “Lili, don’t be afraid. It will make you feel comfortable.”

Where did he learn such explicit words…

Jing Ran shifted his body, reached for the bedside table, pulled open a drawer, and found the raincoat Jing Li had bought earlier.

After a bit of unwrapping, when everything was ready, Jing Ran lowered his head to kiss her forehead and whispered gently in her ear, “I’m here.”

Jing Ran’s waist suddenly pressed down, entering her.

“Ranran, it hurts…” Jing Li’s eyes reddened, tears forming. Jing Ran’s movements were gentle, he licked away the tears on Jing Li’s cheek and reassured her, “Lili, the first time is like this, it will be better soon.”

“Mmm…”

Jing Ran breathed heavily, slowly moving in and out, giving her time to adjust.

“Ranran, it doesn’t hurt anymore…”

“Good…”

Jing Ran increased the pace…

The pleasure of a man and a woman filled the room with an enchanting atmosphere.

In the early morning, Jing Li woke up and saw Jing Ran propping his head up with his arm, smiling at her.

Jing Li pulled the blanket to cover half of her face and shyly asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Lili, did you enjoy last night?” Jing Ran had a mischievous smile on his face, seeking exaggerated praise.

“Mmm.” Jing Li still covered half of her face with the blanket, shyly nodding. Remembering their wild encounters from last night, she felt too embarrassed and finally decided to cover her entire head with the blanket.

Jing Li covered her head with the blanket and felt Jing Ran holding her left hand. Then she felt a cool touch on her finger. Curiously, she lifted the blanket and took a look, only to find a delicate diamond ring on her ring finger.

“What’s this?” Jing Li looked at Jing Ran with confusion.

“Lili, marry me, okay?” Jing Ran earnestly requested, displaying an unusual depth of affection.

“Propose?”

“Yes.”

“But, I didn’t think about getting married so soon…”

Jing Ran pulled Jing Li into his arms and said, “It’s okay. Just say yes, and I’ll wait for you to be ready. When you’re ready, we’ll get married.”

“Alright, I accept your proposal.”

“Lili, take good care of yourself when you’re in Hong Kong. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to tell me.”

Jing Li nodded, “Yes, I know.”

“Lili, no matter how busy you are with work, remember to think of me. If someone tries to pursue you, just show them your diamond ring and say you’re married.”

“Okay.”

“I’ll try to visit you in Hong Kong every week, check if you’re taking good care of yourself. You need to stay healthy and plump. If you lose a pound, I’ll bring you back home and you’re not allowed to go anywhere, understand?”

“Ranran, stop talking. If you keep going, I might not want to go to Hong Kong anymore.” Jing Li hugged Jing Ran and said, “Ranran, I’ll take good care of myself, and you should take care of yourself too. If you’re tired from work, rest well. If you’re sick, take your medicine like a responsible adult and don’t act like a child throwing tantrums.”

Jing Ran nodded, “Mmm, I understand.”
