Chapter 430 - Yangyang, I Love You

“stop trying to be cocky in front of me.” li xiaoxia stood up straight. “you’ve already snatched the person i like from me. what else do you want?”

shen liu facepalmed. she smacked her son at the back of his head. “you’re only in the first year of middle school. your job is to study. stop thinking about other things. if you don’t get into the top 10 for this semester, we will keep your red pocket money.”

“mom, you guys are too much.” li xiaoxia pouted with annoyance. forget that he just fell out of love. even his red pocket money might be gone.

“alright, alright, didn’t you like ruan yang because of her movies?” grandma li said. “but do you know what kind of person she is?”

li xiaoxia nodded. “i do. she’s a good person, she’s pretty, her acting is good, and she’s also very meticulous and gentle towards me.”

“everything you know is on the surface level,” shen liu said angrily. “i even like korean stars. i like lee jongsuk and so jisub just because of the dramas they were in. in any case, i find them perfect behind the screen, and even more handsome and charismatic than your dad. does that mean i can divorce your dad because of them?”

li shaobin rolled his eyes. ‘i finally know who li xiaoxia takes after.”

li xiaoxia snorted and said, “mom, so you think that dad can’t compare to those korean stars? i’m going to tell daddy.”

“you dare?” shen liu pinched his cheek. “what mom means is that the fondness you feel now is the fondness you feel towards beautiful things. you can like little animals, like grandma, like your friends, and many other kinds of fondness, but love is different. you’re still young and you don’t know what love is. you will slowly learn what love is when you grow up.”

li xiaoxia seemed to understand. “mom, the love you’re referring to is that even though you don’t find dad as handsome as lee jongsuk and so jisub, you still love him, right?”

li shaobin laughed heartily. “yes, that’s right. simply correct. but if big brother were to find out, would that drive him to his grave?”

shen liu glared at him. the best thing to do was to keep quiet.

…

after dinner, li shaobin went upstairs to take a shower and change before leaving in a hurry.

“this child. are you not coming back to sleep again?” he mingshan kept sighing as she watched him behaving like that. “haven’t you been keeping ruan yang company the past few days?”

“mom, you don’t know anything at all. i’m rushing to make you a grandson,” li shaobin said as he changed his shoes.

“this child. you’re so shameless,” grandma li scolded with a laugh.

li shaobin really was shameless. right now, he just hoped that he could grow wings and fly to ruan yang’s place.

—————-

when he got upstairs, he stood outside ruan yang’s house, pressing the bell for a very long time, but no one opened the door. when he called, no one picked up either. this was his apartment and he actually had the key to go in, but without ruan yang’s permission, he didn’t feel that he should open the door himself.

he waited for more than 20 minutes outside, and just when his legs and hands were freezing, he heard the door opening from the inside. ruan yang was wearing a light blue flannel pajama set and her hair was tied up into a bun on top. her hair was slightly wet and her face was tender and slightly blushed.

“i was taking a bath. weren’t you having dinner at home? you’re here so early.” ruan yang’s brows knitted slightly.

“i flew over quickly after finishing dinner.” li shaobin stomped his feet and scooted in. “i waited so long. i’m freezing.”

“isn’t this your apartment? you should have the key. you could’ve just opened the door and come in yourself,” ruan yang said, puzzled.

“that’s not very nice. i shouldn’t open the door and let myself in without your permission,” li shaobin said honestly. “unless i have your permission.”

ruan yang’s gaze softened. “come over by the fire. i haven’t tidied up the bathroom yet.”

li shaobin nodded. he huddled by the fireplace. there were even some fruits and snacks on the table nearby. the fruits were all cut up into small pieces exquisitely, drizzled with yogurt. he finished half the bowl of fruits and 10 minutes later, ruan yang came downstairs. her hair was let down from her bun. her hair wasn’t very long and was a little wavy, looking lazy and a little sexy.

“you’ve been keeping me company the past few days. you should spend more time with your family at night,” ruan yang said softly as she sat by his side.

“it’s okay. i’ve already kept them company for decades,” li shaobin said with a grin. “right now, i only want to keep you company.”

“i’m serious,” ruan yang said. “if you don’t have any work to do tomorrow, go home. you have to listen to me.”

“are you feeling tired of me already?” li shaobin said a little nervously.

“no,” ruan yang said. “it’s just that after spending some time with your brother and sister-in-law this morning, i feel that you should be someone who was raised dotingly by your parents. the more they dote on you, the more it proves that you’re important to them. if you always keep me company and don’t spend time with them, they would definitely feel very lonely. i’m afraid that would only make them have a bad impression of me. the more a person cares about something, the more that person would be afraid that it would be taken away. there has to be a process in between too. i don’t want your family to misunderstand that i charmed you to the point where you don’t even want to be home anymore.”

“is that so?” li shaobin pouted. he didn’t know anything about all this and had never thought about it before. “my family has always let me have my way. ruan yang, are you thinking too much?”

“whether i’m thinking too much or whether it’s something else, in any case, you have to listen to me,” ruan yang said seriously. “no matter how much your family members dote on you, the person they dote on is you, not me. i can be happy with you right now, but what happens after marriage? i’ll have to face your family members too. i have to make your family members not dislike me now so that i can get along with them better in the future. if i wasn’t thinking about going long-term with you, i wouldn’t be thinking about all this.”

li shaobin seemed to understand where she was coming from. he had always disliked all these problems between in-laws. however, to make ruan yang happy, he was willing to listen to her. “i’ll listen to you, but can we turn in earlier? i’m so tired.”

“are you really tired?” ruan yang’s lips curled up. “why do i get the feeling you’re pretending to be tired but when we get into bed later, you’re going to pounce on me?”

li shaobin’s face blushed awkwardly. really, must ruan yang say things so directly? she could’ve just kept it to herself inside. “er… my mind has been full of you today. look, i’ll have to go home to sleep tomorrow. we definitely need to have a go today, right?”

ruan yang ignored him on purpose and started to play games on her phone.

li shaobin inched over. “yangyang, what game are you playing? let’s play together.”

“no, you play yours and i’ll play mine.” ruan yang rejected him straight away.

li shaobin felt defeated. however, that didn’t matter. it was still early. they could do it later.

…

he watched some tv programs for a while. when it was after 10, li shaobin started to hug and cuddle ruan yang for a while, then kissing and hugging her again, until she couldn’t concentrate on her game at all. when she finally lifted her head up, he seized her lips.

this kiss was a rare, overbearing one. li shaobin took this opportunity to carry her upstairs. when they entered the room, he laid her down on the bed and ruan yang watched as he quickly climbed up to switch on the heater then started to take off his jacket. his abs were still quite pleasing to see.

ruan yang’s vision became blurry and she suddenly felt himself pressing on top of her again. he held her little face up and started to kiss her passionately.

if the one in the morning was just an appetizer, then the one at night would be the real main course.

li shaobin thought about the tricks he learned in the afternoon. he liked this person and wanted to give her the most pleasure and joy, so he didn’t mind even if some things might seem embarrassing. what touched ruan yang the most was when he held her foot in his hands and kissed it.

whether he really loved her or not, everything was clear at that moment.

not only did she feel something physically, but she also felt it emotionally.

when her heart and body were both touched, even she started to feel a surge of impatience.

“yangyang, i love you.” li shaobin lifted his head and looked at her passionately with his clear eyes.

she held his face in her hands and lifted her head up, kissing him with all her might.

li shaobin felt as though he was going to suffocate at that moment. it felt as though he was caught in the trap of a familiar spider spirit. he didn’t know when they connected; he only knew that he had never felt so excited before.

tonight, he seemed to have understood why old song and zhan mingwei loved to stay at home to keep their wives company, and why they would always sound so aggressive when he called them. indeed, no matter who it was, if that person was to disturb him at such a moment, he would also want to eat that person up.

…

it was 11:30 pm when they ended their second time. li shaobin’s heart was full. the two of them looked as though they just came out of the water. he leaned against the headboard and ruan yang was sleeping peacefully on his chest.

he lowered his head to look at her and when he thought back to the scene earlier, his face felt like it was burning.

the first time today was slightly better than yesterday and after taking a break, he could readjust himself quickly for round two. what he remembered most clearly was still ruan yang’s waist that was as soft as water.

thinking about her waist, he couldn’t help but kiss her forehead and lips again. ruan yang looked terribly beautiful right now. her face was blushing and strands of hair were sticking to her cheek. her lips were slightly opened in a very sexy way and her brows were slightly knitted because of the exhaustion.

while he was watching her carefully, ruan yang’s closed eyes suddenly opened. she said limply, “carry me to the shower.”

“shower?” li shaobin’s brain buzzed. he was dumbfounded.

f*ck. he felt as though he had struck the lottery. he didn’t even dare to think about it. after all, just thinking about it a little would make him extremely excited.
