Chapter 279: Dragon Brother Said Not to Mess with Me
After lying down for a bit to ease my achingly sore back, I finally sat up from the bed.
I got up and went out to the courtyard, where Dragon Brother was seriously washing his underwear. I crept up from behind and wrapped my arms around him, “Dragon Brother.”
Dragon Ao Tian, busy washing his underwear, broke into a goofy grin when I hugged him from behind, “Why didn’t you lie down a bit longer?”
Actually, Hu Yu Ying found this quite intriguing.
They say women sap the energy of men, yet in my case, it seemed reversed.
I was all worn out, but the mighty Dragon Brother, who had done all the heavy lifting, was as spry as ever.
“I just wanted to be close to you, Dragon Brother.”
“Just hold on a second.” Dragon Ao Tian gently pried my arms off his neck.
He got up and moved a lounge chair from the room outside, setting it down next to the steps.
“Lie down here.” Once I was comfortably settled, he resumed his seat.
He began to gently rock the lounge chair.
The autumn sun poured its warm rays, delightfully kissing our skin, filling our hearts with endless anticipation for the future.
At this moment—at least for this moment’s tranquility—nothing else could compare.
“Dragon Brother.”
“Yeah, I’m here.”
“Dragon Brother, I just wanted to call your name.”
Hearing me respond brought him a sense of security. “Do you think that in the days to come, our future will also be like this?”
“It definitely will.” Dragon Ao Tian rubbed his damp palms against his clothes and tenderly brushed my long hair. This kind of life was what countless people yearned for, and he was no exception.
“Dragon Brother, this is wonderful.” I lay on the lounge chair, turned to my side, and looked at him with a bright smile.
Seeing me so happy, Dragon Ao Tian felt his heart melt. He drew near, playfully rubbing his nose against mine, “Little girl, you’re wonderful too.”
Having hung his freshly washed underwear, I shifted my body, making a big space. “Dragon Brother, you should lie down too.”
Lying back in the chair, holding me in his arms, with a gentle breeze and warm sunshine—who could fully understand the pricelessness of this moment?
Suddenly, I stirred and lifted my little head, staring blankly at Dragon Ao Tian.
“What’s wrong?” He chuckled at my startled expression, gently pinching my cheek.
“Dragon Brother, last night and just now… you kind of went all out…” I faltered, my eyes filling with worry. “I… I won’t… become…?”
At those words, Dragon Ao Tian felt a jolt of concern mixed with excitement.
Excitement because he might actually have a little one of his own.
Worry that it might affect me.
“You last visited your relatives on the 22nd, and today is only the 19th, so it should be safe.”
I had never experienced anything like this before, and I didn’t even know how to calculate my ovulation period. Hearing Dragon Brother say this eased my nerves a little.
“Do you like babies, Dragon Brother?”
“I do.”
I giggled softly, nestling into Dragon Brother’s embrace, feeling shy as I whispered, “I like them too…”
Just then, we heard the sound of the front gate unlocking.
I sprang up from Dragon Ao Tian’s embrace and hurriedly stood aside.
At that moment, Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning’s voices floated over: “Looks like we don’t have to work today.”
My face flashed with panic. “Qing Xue, Wan Ning, you’re here!”
“Yeah.” They both acknowledged, then exchanged knowing glances at me.
Today, I felt different, especially my skin—it looked so creamy and slightly rosy, resembling a ripe peach.
The three of us slept together yesterday, and even the tiniest changes didn’t escape their eyes.
My skin was undeniably good, but today, it looked spectacular—so good it was almost unbelievable.
And the most important thing was that there was an indescribable sensuality about me. Although admitting it felt awkward, at that moment, all they saw in me was charm.
In an instant, Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning exchanged knowing looks.
They gently grasped my hand, their smiles saying everything without uttering a word.
Feeling somewhat exposed under their scrutiny, I instinctively averted my gaze.
What began as mere speculation was now solidified by the flurry of my actions, making them absolutely certain.
Their excitement skyrocketed.
They glanced at Dragon Ao Tian with strange expressions.
Faced with their teasing gazes, Dragon Ao Tian cleared his throat and stood up, “I’ll go buy some things. Let’s have lunch here.”
Initially, they intended to go shopping for him and grab a bite at the mall, but now they had stumbled upon something far more interesting, so they nodded eagerly.
It felt like they couldn’t wait for Dragon Ao Tian to leave.
Noticing this, he grabbed my other hand, “Let’s go together.”
“No way, you go by yourself, big brother.”
Lin Wan Ning wouldn’t let go of my hand.
“Right! You can handle it alone. We three need some girl talk, and we won’t let you listen in.” Li Qing Xue chimed in.
“Uh, just don’t mess with Ah Ying today.”
Before he could finish, they pushed him out the door, “Got it, got it! We’ll all be good and wait for your return.”
Watching the door close behind him, Dragon Ao Tian couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
With the door closed, Li Qing Xue and Lin Wan Ning rushed to my side.
At that moment, I had already lounged back in the chair, and giggling behind my hand, I said to my best friends, “Dragon Brother said not to mess with me.”
“But your Dragon Brother isn’t here!” Li Qing Xue joked cheerfully. “So you have to be good and listen to us…”
“How many times?” Compared to Li Qing Xue’s subtlety, Lin Wan Ning was much more direct.
My face flushed, and I turned away from her, “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Innocently alluring, I was a world apart from how I used to be.
“If you don’t tell us, we’ll just check for ourselves. We’re too familiar with your body; if there’s any change, we’ll definitely notice!”
Upon hearing this, I shut my eyes, grinning from ear to ear, radiating happiness that held everyone’s gaze.
Unable to resist, they leaned in, “Come on, dear sister, you must tell us! We want to know so much…”
I couldn’t take it anymore.
I opened my eyes, still blushing, and my cheeks flared up again, “N-no, I don’t know…”
Then I awkwardly stared at my two best friends, “I-I really don’t know, because… because…” The words were stuck in my throat, impossible to say.
I couldn’t just tell them that I got so worn out by Dragon Brother last night I fell asleep, and after that… well, I truly had no idea how many times…
