"Which company was it who has such an amazing deliveryman?"
"Is he a martial arts school student doing part-time job?"
"It shouldn't be them. The catering corporations we know all have their deliverymen wear uniforms with logo on it. This one is obviously working for a private restaurant!"
Beside him, Yan Zheke buried half her face into the pillow to smother her laughter while punching the bed softly with her right fist.
"Deliveryman… deliveryman… deliveryman!"
Lou Cheng also felt it ridiculous but could do nothing about it. Recalling he was carrying the girl's breakfast then, he exhaled and said,
"Yeah, I'm a deliveryman, your private deliveryman…"
Yan Zheke's laughter suddenly sank and gradually stopped. Raising her head to gaze at her boyfriend with watery eyes, she moved lips to repeat Lou Cheng's words soundlessly,
"My private… deliveryman…"
Her eyes gradually lit up like the dreamlike starry sky. Gazing at Lou Cheng in this way, she was too shy to say a word.
Lou Cheng felt a silence suddenly fell on the room, as if all the noise from passing-by vehicles and pedestrians outside the window were suddenly blocked out of his world, in which there were only gorgeous Yan Zheke and him, the lucky boy. All he saw was the girl's glittering eyes and plump lips.
Sensing the atmosphere and their beating hearts, Lou Cheng suddenly realized he should do something even before the girl could suggest him. Then he turned to lie on his side, supported himself with one arm, and gradually leaned over the girl.
Yan Zheke's eyelashes were fluttering as she slowly closed her eyes.
Holding the girl in his arms while breathing her breath, all Lou Cheng saw was the girl's attractive lips.
It was at this moment Yan Zheke opened her eyes and let out a soft humph.
"You're pushing down on my hair…"
The girl's words awakened Lou Cheng as if freeing him from a spell. The boy immediately raised his arm to change his posture, and then froze.
For a second, all Lou Cheng's romantic thoughts were dispelled while all the outside noise pouring into the room, again dragging the dreamworld down to the earth.
Looking at each other in bewilderment, both Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke burst out laughing, for the funny way in which the romantic atmosphere was broken!
Of course, Lou Cheng felt a little upset. What a feeling and atmosphere! How could they be destroyed by such simple words as "You're pushing down on my hair…"!
Was it the so-called "dissolve into undue laughter during a performance"?
The girl laughed for quite a while, which made her face flush. Lou Cheng could do nothing but look at her helplessly, waiting for her to calm down spontaneously.
When the girl finally stopped laughing, she pursed lips and turned her gaze at Lou Cheng.
"I, I'm easy to be amused, ha ha…"
So saying, she laughed again, feeling the situation just now so funny.
Lou Cheng lay back and again put the girl's right hand on his belly, trying to warm her.
Yan Zheke used his momentum to approach him and then lay huddled up beside. Blinking her eyes, the girl raised a question with her jumping thought,
"Cheng, what were you look before, when you were in Junior middle school and elementary school?"
She suddenly felt an urge to know more about Lou Cheng.
Recalling the old days, Lou Cheng smiled and said,
"I was so short in elementary school, so the others kept calling me the Square Root of 2 even in Grade six. Luckily, I began growing faster after entering Junior middle school and crossed the barrier of 1.7m within three years. Though in Senior High I hardly grew any taller, it seemed I'm again growing recently thanks to frequent training and exercise."
He could only estimate his present height since he hadn't measured it for months.
"It must be so easy to bully you in elementary school~" Yan Zheke smiled as if she was imaging Lou Cheng as a little boy in her mind.
Lou Cheng burst out laughing. "How could that be true? No one bullied me then!"
Smiling with her eyes and eyebrows, Yan Zheke bit her lower lip and said,
"Cheng, I'll tell you a secret."
"What?" Lou Cheng immediately became interested in it.
Yan Zheke curved her lips, smiling gently.
"When I was in Grade Four in elementary school, I once beat a boy to tears…"
"Beat him to tears?" Lou Cheng asked in astonishment. It was unbelievable that his girlfriend, who was always delicate and gentle, should have done such a magnificent feat!
Smiling with beautiful dimples, Yan Zheke pouted and said,
"That boy sat behind me and always played tricks on me, like poking me in the back, knotting my hair, etc. In one word he was so annoying! I had told him seriously that one more time I'd tell the teacher, but he called me a sneak that could do nothing but hide behind the teacher's back. Out of anger, I told him I wouldn't tell the teacher but directly beat him the next time!"
"So he did that again?" Lou Cheng smiled.
Yan Zheke raised her head. "Of course~ Though I was still suffering my illness then, I had been learning Martial Arts from my uncle-in-law for two years and could at least use some showy but not practical movements. My first blow reached his abdomen and he burst out crying immediately, which shocked me as if he was severely injured…"
"And then?" Lou Cheng suitably asked.
He could not help but wonder if that guy adored Yan Zheke, since it was common to see boys played tricks on the girls they adored as an awkward way to hide their feelings and thoughts.
"Seeing he was crying, someone went to tell our teacher about it, so it's me who was finally scolded. But I took this opportunity to change my seat, while from then on he kept away from me like a mouse." Yan Zheke smiled in embarrassment. "It made me feel proud of myself for a long time…"
Lou Cheng asked with a thoughtful expression, "He also exchanged school yearbook with you when you graduated from elementary school, didn't he?"
"How do you know it?" Yan Zheke opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Such tricks are so easy to see through." Lou Cheng smiled. "It's obvious."
Yan Zheke gave him a stare and continued, "He did ask me to sign his school yearbook, and I did it in a swordswoman manner, since I thought he was trying to convert the enemy into a friend. After graduation, we entered different Junior High school and thus seldom saw each other. I remembered one day when we were in Grade three, he came to declare his love for me, but I refused him without hesitation."
"Ha ha, he deserved it!" Lou Cheng expressed his joy in brief words.
Yan Zheke withdrew her right arm, which was on Lou Cheng's belly, to wrap it around Lou Cheng's arm. Then she said joyfully, "I've told you one secret and it's your turn now~ Cheng, you told me you had a crush on me since Senior High…"
Recalling this, the girl couldn't help smiling. She paused to calm down and then continued, "So what about Junior High? Elementary school? Have you ever fallen in love with any girls or vice versa?"
"Nope," Lou Cheng answered without hesitation, he sighed and continued, "I was quite ignorant at that time and had been devoting myself into study. Besides, since I was thin and short, no one would take a fancy to me. Before long, the school morals declined as a lot of girls were proud of dating with an ill-bred person related to gangs. As a result, I usually kept away from them."
"How I wish to have a look at a thin and short Cheng~" Yan Zheke pretended to feel so sorry for herself. "Do you have any old photos or albums in your home?"
"Of course. They even took nude photos of me when I was having a bath at the age of three…" Lou Cheng could not help laughing.
Yan Zheke's eyes suddenly lit up. "Show me your photos when we came back to Xiushan in summer break!"
"Okay, okay! Do you have any photos of your childhood?" Lou Cheng was also eager to see a cute little girl.
"Quite a lot. Dad used to take photos of me anywhere and anytime, so I have gotten dozens of albums!" Recalling the old days, Yan Zheke put on a sweet smile.
Exchanging old stories and secrets, they chatted and laughed, letting their mood swing with the content. When they realized it was dark outside, it was already a half past ten.
"It's time for bed…" Yan Zheke checked the time on her cell phone and announced reluctantly.
Losing himself into the great feeling as they could share anything with each other, Lou Cheng also wanted to go on speaking. But he finally nodded with great self-restraint and willpower. "Just go to sleep."
At this moment, Yan Zheke bit her lower lip and turned her watery eyes to look to the ground.
"Cheng, I liked the way we treated each other just now. I really liked it."
Repeating to emphasize her words, Yan Zheke thought it was exactly what she wanted. For her, intimate behavior was not necessary since it was already very good for them to hug and talk with each other.
"I like it, too." Lou Cheng looked back at the girl, smiling.
Being afraid that the girl might reject intimate behavior from now on, he added to express his thoughts in a euphemism way. "Ke, in my mind, a couple without this is not complete…"
Yan Zheke knew what he meant and soon replied with a flushing face.
"Cheng, turn around. Just turn around~"
Lou Cheng turned around in confusion, and then he heard the girl's shy soft voice. "I just told you not to think about that all the time, which doesn't mean you're forbidden from that…"
Her voice gradually faded away. Lou Cheng felt so pleased and turned around abruptly, only to find the girl had already turned her back at him and buried her face in the pillow, so he could only see the girl's red ears.
Being greatly moved, Lou Cheng only felt the warmth brought by the girl without any desire. He shut off the bedlamp and approached the girl, holding her in his arms. Then he pulled the girl to zero the gap between his chest and her back.
Yan Zheke froze for a second but soon relaxed and even leaned back without much prompting since Lou Cheng didn't take any further action.
Sensing the girl's fragrance and her soft body, feeling her warmth through the thin nightgown, Lou Cheng again had some physiological reaction.
Yan Zheke felt his change and again froze in a shy manner. Lou Cheng hurried to comfort her in a low voice.
"Let it alone…"
Misery could usually be accompanied with happiness.
Yan Zheke didn't struggle as she heard Lou Cheng was cooling himself down with special breathing method. She put on a faint and shy smile while quietly thinking to herself:
"Cheng, I was too shy to tell you my feeling just now…
Sometimes I also enjoy the intimacies between us, while your lust for me actually made me glad…"
Taking a deep breath, she snuggled up in Lou Cheng's arms to enjoy his warmth, and then put on a big smile.
"Cheng, good night."
