She finished reading the last line before answering the door.
As soon as An Xiaoning opened the door, Jin Qingyan pressed a hand against the back of her head and began kissing her fiercely.
She took a few steps back while he followed her inside.
Every cell of hers was bursting with euphoria. She leaped up, threw her arms around his neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist.
“Why are you here?”
“To see you, of course.”
“Close the door,” said An Xiaoning, pointing at the door behind him.
He kicked his foot backwards to shut the door.
“Lock it too.”
He reached behind him to fumble for the doorknob and locked the door successfully.
“Will this do?”
“Yes.”
Jin Qingyan lowered her onto the bed and scanned his surroundings in the room. “It’s such a simple room.”
“It’s good enough. There’s a washroom in here too. In another two days, I’ll be returning to where I grew up.”
“Can you even stay there?” he asked with raised brows.
“Why not? Beicheng’s bodyguards have been living there every day and guarding over his grandfather and my mentor’s graves. I actually want to stay there for a few days. It may be a little shabby, but it was once my home.”
“I’ll go with you, then.”
“If you find this place shabby, you definitely won’t like it there. Don’t punish yourself by going there.”
He insisted, “No. I’d like to experience what it’s like to stay in your childhood home. By the way, should we renovate that temple? You may then return whenever you’d like.”
Shaking her head, she refused, “No matter how beautiful it may become after renovation, it’ll no longer be the same. I would’ve started construction and renovation works long ago if I wanted to refurbish it.”
“You have a point. You didn’t expect me to show up, did you? You definitely didn’t, right?” he asked, grazing his finger against her nose.
“Of course I didn’t. The sky is getting dark soon. Are you going to go back?”
“Do you want me to?”
“Yes...” Noticing the austere expression on his face, she continued, “No...”
“Give me a reason. Why don’t you want me to go back?”
Staring at his glistening eyes, An Xiaoning knew what he wanted to hear.
It was too obvious.
“Because I want to sleep with you.”
“Alright, I’ll satisfy you...”
“Ah, I haven’t showered yet.”
“Let’s shower together after the deed is done.”
“...”
After giving it their all, the two of them lay down in bed, panting heavily. Jin Qingyan then picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.
Jin Qingyan greatly despised the washroom.
“Why is this water so yellow?”
“We’re on the mountains, that’s how the water is. Collect some and we’ll make do with it. It’s only slightly yellow, it’s alright.”
“Ah, this urinal...” Being a clean freak, Jin Qingyan could not tolerate the sight of the rusty and grimy spots around the urinal.
“That’s what happens with wear and tear. If you really can’t stand it, come back tomorrow with a toilet bowl.”
“How do you know that I’m coming again tomorrow?”
An Xiaoning answered with a smile, “That’s how much I understand you. It’s not like you to not come by again tomorrow, Jin Qingyan.”
“You’re so smart, Milady. Here’s a kiss for you,” said Jin Qingyan, who quickly smooched her again.
Both of them did not wash their hair and instead just exited after a hot-water bath.
After wiping themselves dry, they lay down beside each other on the bed and began cuddling. An Xiaoning told him everything that she had done to Shi Bao’er today, after which she asked, “Do you think I have the potential to be a vicious stepmother?”
“Shouldn’t you be the vicious aunt, why is it the stepmother instead?” he asked in puzzlement.
“Don’t people always stereotypically imagine all stepmothers to be wicked and vicious? Although most stepmothers do dote on their stepchildren, there’s still a minority who don’t. There’s also a small number who are terrifyingly wicked. But of course, there are also mothers who abuse their biological children. It varies from person to person. Stepchildren who have kind, caring, and magnanimous stepmothers are really fortunate.”
“You’re nowhere as vicious as Bao’er who tried to kill Qingyue and Ciye by leaving the gas stove on and set Wen Lele on fire. Even if Qingyue isn’t pregnant, she wouldn’t be able to discipline Bao’er the way that you did. I reckon she must have handed Bao’er to you because she knows that she’ll definitely be too soft-hearted and end up giving in,” said Jin Qingyan, resting his arm below her head.
An Xiaoning smiled upon hearing his words.
Given the intimate relationship they have, they were both comfortable with being naked around each other. An Xiaoning hugged him tightly and asked, “Why is your body so warm? I suddenly feel so cold.”
“Ah...” He let out a moan of pleasure and whispered affectionately into her ear, “I feel so excited whenever you press your boobs against me.”
She warned, “Jin Qingyan, you’re not to get up to any nonsense. I’m going to bed now.”
“Okay, let’s turn in.”
“Why are you touching me again?”
“Let’s go to bed.”
“Jin Qingyan!”
“Call me ‘Hubby.’ Be good and do it just once. You haven’t called me that in so long.”
“Hubby...”
The night was long and endless. This time, they did not shower again.
An Xiaoning dozed off, feeling relaxed and comfortable. It had been a long time since she dreamed of anything.
This time, she dreamed again.
During her dream, she was running away continuously, and she did not stop to catch her breath, despite panting heavily. There seemed to be something guiding her. However, there was nothing in front of her and she could not see anything at all.
She felt as if her legs were about to break.
Finally, the white screen began to fade, and there seemed to be a huge wind that cleared the air in front of her.
She was greeted with the sight of Jin Qingyan all of a sudden.
She stared at Jin Qingyan and exclaimed gleefully, “Qingyan!”
After she did, she felt a sudden excruciating pain in her head and soon got a dizzy spell. She touched the liquid trickling down her forehead to see that her hand was covered in crimson.
“I’m bleeding...” she murmured.
Jin Qingyan smiled at her without uttering a single word.
Placing a hand on her head, An Xiaoning walked toward him. Although he was clearly not too far away from her, she just could not seem to reach him.
She began to panic and broke down, yelling and screaming hysterically.
It felt as if she could not grab him no matter how hard she tried.
He stood rooted to the ground and smiled at her quietly.
All of a sudden, she missed her step and began plunging downward. “Qingyan!”
An Xiaoning woke up from her dream with a shriek. She sat up straight and panted heavily to catch her breath.
“Xiaoning, what’s the matter?”
An Xiaoning grabbed her hair, still yet to recover from the shock she had gotten in the dream. When Jin Qingyan called her name again, she hugged him and said, “I had a nightmare.”
“Was it about me?” he asked.
