Chapter 79 - 79 77 I Understand You
?Chapter 79: Chapter 77: I Understand You Chapter 79: Chapter 77: I Understand You Lu Jingyan followed by swallowing his saliva, took a breath, and struggled to maintain a calm expression as he met his gaze. The corners of his lips slightly lifted, and he smiled like a soul-ensnaring little fox, his voice soft and light, “Brother, if you’re willing, I could actually open a tab for you tonight.”
Sheng Xian: “…”
Sheng Xian felt bewildered for a moment.
Open a tab?
How is that tab opened?
As these questions emerged, a flurry of thoughts rolled through Sheng Xian’s mind.
Those ideas were diverse, indescribable, and complex to the point where even he didn’t know when he had learned so much.
Influenced by his refined disease, he had always lived a life of integrity and modest desires.
In college, while staying in the dormitory, the male roommates would often make lewd comments and watch adult films in the middle of the night. He had always felt those things were far removed from him. He remembered not participating in those conversations or watching those scenes, yet now, the thoughts, appropriate or not, were as clear to him as if he had seen and discussed them, all remembered vividly.
Sheng Xian felt as if he had regressed to when he was eighteen, his self-control becoming faint and all that remained was the agitation of youthful vigor.
Just as Sheng Xian felt that a string in his body was about to snap, Lu Jingyan suddenly exclaimed, “Ah, I’m sorry, brother. Tonight probably won’t work.”
Sheng Xian lifted his eyelids.
Lu Jingyan’s face was full of regret as he opened his mouth: “I’m on my period.”
Sheng Xian: “…”
The chaotic thoughts in Sheng Xian’s mind instantly cleared away.
The rational part of him that returned thought about what he had just wildly imagined, and he, who rarely swore, almost blurted out a curse.
It was one thing for her to be crazy, but him going mad alongside her was another.
Lu Jingyan sighed, slowly withdrew his body, and sat back down on the sofa across from him.
She faced him across the table, her body leaning lazily forward, elbows propped on the table, supporting her face and blinking her eyes, “Brother, do you know what I saw in your face?”
Sheng Xian lifted his head to look at Lu Jingyan.
Lu Jingyan, maintaining the same posture, smiled and showed him four fingers: “I saw four words.”
Sheng Xian’s eyelids twitched heavily.
Before he could speak to stop her, Lu Jingyan already began folding her fingers, saying, “Frustrated desires.”
Sheng Xian: “…”
Lu Jingyan: “And it’s the kind that’s built up over years.”
Sheng Xian’s cheeks twitched slightly as he clenched his teeth and squeezed out three words: “Lu Jingyan.”
“Brother, don’t be so hot-tempered.” Lu Jingyan poured the last bit of wine from her glass into Sheng Xian’s empty one, looking very understanding. She almost stood next to him to pat his shoulder: “I get it, if you can’t vent on the lower end, you have to vent your temper, I’d feel the same. Here, drink some wine to cool down.”
Sheng Xian ground his teeth, his head starting to ache.
Damn understanding me.
He closed his eyes, not wanting to say anything, picked up his coat and called out “Waiter, check please,” and headed straight towards the front desk.
…
Upon leaving the bar, Sheng Xian hailed a taxi and took Lu Jingyan home.
Facing the elementary schooler who bid him a cheery “Goodbye, brother” after getting off, Sheng Xian turned his head without saying a word.
Only after the elementary schooler turned and pushed open the door did Sheng Xian bring his gaze back and watched her figure.
It was not until the light in her second-floor bedroom turned on that Sheng Xian, massaging his brow, sighed and said helplessly to the driver in front, “Let’s go.”
When he got home, Sheng Xian changed his shoes, casually tossed his coat over the back of a chair at the dining table, and went into the kitchen.
He opened the fridge, took out a bottle of water, twisted off the cap and took a couple of swigs before suddenly remembering her mention of being on her period.
He couldn’t help but sigh again, screwed the cap back on, leaned against the fridge for a while, and took out his phone.
He quietly stared at it for a long time until the screen automatically went dark after not being touched for a while.
Only then did he blink, unlock the screen, and just at that moment, his phone vibrated.
Lu Jingyan: “Brother, did you get home?”
Sheng Xian deleted the message he had typed, replied, “Just got home.”
After a moment, Sheng Xian retyped and sent the deleted message.
Sheng Xian: “Drink some honey water and keep warm.”
Lu Jingyan: “Okay, brother.”
Sheng Xian didn’t reply again, took his phone back to the bedroom, took off his sweatshirt, grasped a set of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
He initially wanted to cheer her up by inviting her out for a couple of drinks.
Little did he know she was on her period.
Not sleeping during her period, calling Chen Kai in the middle of the night.
Sheng Xian stood under the shower head, one hand supporting the wall, and sighed deeply for the third time.
That elementary schooler has never been easy to care for.
Soothing so big, totally incapable of taking care of herself.
