Chapter 287 - You Were Fine Yesterday

Song Xing Xing stirred in her sleep upon noticing a slight movement beside her. She rubbed at the corner of her eyes as she supported her body up with her elbow.

The quilt slid down her shoulder before she pulled them up to cover her body again. It was cold and the sky was still dark.

Song Xing Xing watched as Lu Xun put on the shirt on his body and frowned. After watching him for a few seconds longer, Song Xing Xing decided to speak, "Where are you going?" Her voice was thick with sleepiness.

Lu Xun turned around upon hearing her voice. He walked over with his shirt remained unbuttoned and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't tell me that you're running away after spending the night with me."

It was their first night together and she hoped that he would spend a little more time with her. At the thought that he was leaving after sleeping with her, Song Xing Xing became unhappy.

Lu Xun chuckled. "What are you thinking about?" His hand stretched up to pinch her cheek. "Have you forgotten the mess we made back in my room?"

Song Xing Xing blinked.

Last night, after helping her to clean up, Lu Xun brought her back to his bed only to find that his bed might be unsuitable to sleep on. The two of them had messed around too much and the bedsheet was dirty.

In the end, they decided to move over to her room to sleep.

"I'm going over to tidy up a little bit," Lu Xun said. "Your brother and Long Fei should return in a while."

Song Xing Xing sat up straight. It was at this time that she suddenly remember that her brother had tagged along with them on this trip.

Everyone is already an adult. However, Song Xing Xing would still feel embarrassed if her brother found out that she had slept with Lu Xun.

Moreover... they were supposed to leave D Town soon. As the guests of Long's family, it would not be possible for them to leave the room in a mess.

"Sleep." Lu Xun patted her head. "I'll come over once I had cleaned up, alright?"

"Do you need me to help you?"

"It's fine. I can do it."

He had bullied her a little bit last night. At this time, there was nothing that he wanted other than to let her rest.

Song Xing Xing linked them around his neck and pecked at his cheek. "Call me if you need my help, alright?"

Lu Xun smiled. He tucked her into the bed and finally leave the room to deal with the mess they made last night.

...

When Song Xing Xing woke up again, the sky had long turned brighter. She sat up lazily on her bed and heard a chuckling voice coming from the sofa set.

Turning towards the voice, Song Xing Xing watched as Lu Xun stood up and walked over in her direction. He had changed his clothes and his hair was combed up nicely.

He had taken his shower after cleaning up his room. Only then did he sneak into her room again. While waiting for her to wake up, Lu Xun decided to sit in her room while looking at a few documents.

"Good morning." Lu Xun bent down to kiss her forehead. "Get up and go get ready. We're going to have breakfast and then visit the elders before we leave."

Song Xing Xing glanced at the time before she jumped down the bed in a hurry.

Her brow furrowed just as her legs touched the floor. It was only now that she started to feel a little uncomfortable all around her body. Her legs were especially sore. A few days ago, Lu Xun had brought her to climb up the mountain.

The soreness hasn't disappeared and last night, she had intense exercise.

"Are you alright?" Lu Xun held her in his arms and frowned. A thought came to his mind and his ears turned a little red. "Let me help you to the bathroom."

"No. I'll be fine." Song Xing Xing rejected his offer right away.

She had learned her lesson from last night.

This man had said that he wanted to help her clean up. In the end, he bullied her again in the bathroom. With her condition, it would be unwise to trust his words.

Song Xing Xing came out of the bathroom in fresh clothes. The couple walked over to the dining area and saw that Song Wei was already enjoying his breakfast. At his side, Long Fei was accompanying him to chat.

Song Xing Xing looked at the scene in front of her and thought that the situation made it seem as if Long Fei and Song Wei has been friends for a long time.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Song Wei asked after observing her for a while. "Why do I feel as if you were walking a little funny. Did you injure yourself?"

From the corner of her eyes, Song Xing Xing caught the way Long Fei and Lu Xun exchanged a look. At this time, Song Xing Xing had this urge to hit her brother.

Lowering her gaze, Song Xing Xing spoke, "It's the hiking. My legs were still sore after hiking."

Song Wei looked at his sister strangely. "Your legs still sore? But sister, you were fine yesterday."

Song Xing Xing coughed before she changed the subject "I heard that you went out fishing last night. Did you catch any fish this time?"

Instantly, Song Wei's expression turned brighter. "Sister, have some grilled fish. They were the fishes that I caught personally. Brother Long Fei took me to another spot and I managed to catch a few of them."

Song Xing Xing watched as her brother bragged about his fishing trip and thought that her brother was still a child.

After breakfast, Long Fei invited them to the main residence on top of the hill. They have been occupying the guest's courtyard and naturally, it would be rude not to greet the old master and thank them for their hospitality.

The main residence was naturally bigger than the guest's courtyard where they have been staying for the past few days.

The moment the vehicle drove past the gate, Song Wei straightened his body and his expression turned serious.

Song Xing Xing chuckled, knowing that her brother was a little anxious to meet Long Fei's grandfather, Long Yuan.

That old man was an important political figure. Although he has retired for years, he was still well respected. As Song Wei was looking forward to entering politics as well, he looked up to Long Fei's grandfather.

When they walked in, the butler led them into the garden where the old man was waiting for them while drinking his tea.

Long Yuan looked up upon hearing their movement. He invited Long Fei's guests to sit and chat with them amicably.

Before they left, Song Xing Xing watched Lu Xun and Long Yuan chat for a long time.. Her curiosity peaked upon noticing the serious look on their faces.
