So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 171



Chapter 171: Unconfronted Matter


Yang Ming was worn out after these two days. He had to struggle during his time with his cousin. Later, he did a high difficulty stunt with Sun Jie in the bathroom. In addition, he encountered a robbery when he was shopping with Chen Mengyan today. As a result, he quickly fell asleep after spending some intimate moments with Lan Ling


Initially, Yang Ming didn’t want to fall asleep. The reason was that Lan Ling tended to lie on top of his body and talk to him about her childhood each time they were done. Yang Ming was a good listener since the story involved someone he loved. Moreover, he was intrigued by the culture of the minority group.


But, a man and woman were different when they carried out such a deed. As they spent intimate moments with one another, a man not only received physical and mental pleasure from it but he also expended a lot of physical strength. On the contrary, a woman didn’t need to use too much energy for it.


As a result, after a woman had done it with a man, she tended to twist and turn when she couldn’t fall asleep. Upon careful observation of the man she had done it with, including his performance and his attitude, she thinks about their future. In a supposedly happy moment like this, she thinks about her sorrowful past.


Lan Ling was a girl like this. She knew Yang Ming usually would spend time talking with her after they had finished their deed. However, Yang Ming might be really exhausted today. Because he caught a robber recently, his body and mind were far more exhausted than usual.


Lan Ling couldn’t bear to disturb Yang Ming’s rest. However, she couldn’t fall asleep. So, she crawled out of the bed and casually searched for something to do. Lan Ling noticed Yang Ming’s clothes were scattered on the floor, so she stooped down and picked up the mess. All of a sudden, she found out the blood stain at the corner of Yang Ming’s pants. She thought to herself, It must be the blood of the robber.


Since Lan Ling wasn’t preoccupied with anything, she decided to wash the pants for Yang Ming. Anyway, there was a modern washing machine. If she cleaned the pants and hung it on the balcony, it would be dry after a while.


Lan Ling carried Yang Ming’s pants and walked toward the bathroom. Afterward, she simply put her hand into Yang Ming’s pockets and took out the items in it. There were a phone and some pocket change. Besides that, the remaining item was a receipt.


Lan Ling wasn’t bothered by it. As she wanted to put it aside, she noticed it by accident. The word “couple” on top of the receipt attracted Lan Ling’s gaze.


“Free size, a crimson heart couple t-shirt, 69 yuan, one set.” Today’s date was written on it. The purchase time was a few hours before Yang Ming came here!


Lan Ling was stunned as she looked at the receipt in her hands…


He lied to me. This shirt was bought today. Logically, no one would believe that he deliberately delivered the clothes he had just bought to home? Why did he lie to me?


Lan Ling bit on her lips with a perplexed expression. Ever since her grandmother passed away, Yang Ming was the one who treated her the best. Lan Ling had also offered all of her feelings, body, and mind to Yang Ming.


Having her beloved man lie to her, the feeling was definitely unbearable. Even though Lan Ling had an appearance of a loli, she wasn’t dumb. Certainly, she had figured something out.


Lan Ling picked up Yang Ming’s t-shirt with shaky hands. She sniffed it lightly. There was a faint aroma lingered around the shirt. Apparently, this aroma wasn’t because the shirt was new, and it didn’t belong to her. It spoke for itself the meaning behind it.


A man would probably ignore these details. However, a woman is sensitive, particularly about the odors that didn’t belong to them. Lan Ling held onto the crimson heart t-shirt in a silly daze.


Does he love me? Lan Ling could say with certainty. “Yes, he does.” The caring and loving attitude wasn’t something that could be easily acted out. Particularly, Lan Ling could connect to Yang Ming’s heart. He definitely loved me.


However, the matter at hand couldn’t be explained easily. Is he having an affair with another woman? Lan Ling shut her eyes as she couldn’t bear to think of it further…


He probably has his reasons. Or maybe, the situation isn’t like how I think? Lan Ling comforted herself. She couldn’t imagine what her life would turn into if she lost Yang Ming.


Lan Ling didn’t think her life before Yang Ming was too miserable. But, as someone who had experienced blissful moments, it was frightening to go back to her previous life again.


Lan Ling sighed as she was determined to keep it deep in her heart. At the very least, it was a bad time to talk about this. She wasn’t sure if Yang Ming cheated on her. After all, a voodoo was placed onto Yang Ming like a sharp sword hanging over his head. He still didn’t know the meaning behind the voodoo!


Lan Ling stuffed all the items back into the pockets of Yang Ming’s pants. The receipt was placed like how it originally was. After she settled everything, Lan Ling took the clothes back into the bedroom and placed them on the bedside table.


Later, Lan Ling acted as though nothing happened as she crawled into bed. She lay beside Yang Ming and put her left hand on top of his chest. She squeezed into Yang Ming’s embrace to savor this warm moment.


As Yang Ming woke up, he realized it was already half past two. Yang Ming looked at Lan Ling who was in deep sleep. A faint smile surfaced at the corner of his lips. He kissed Lan Ling’s cheek lightly. Only then did he slowly move Lan Ling’s arm away from his body. Yang Ming got up and dressed. Probably due to his guilt for Lan Ling, Yang Ming went to the supermarket downstairs and grabbed some ingredients. He wanted to personally prepare a meal for her.


After all, Yang Ming wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had learned how to cook ever since he was little, so his culinary skills were decent. He promptly prepared those dishes, braised pork chop with potato and chopped beans, and steamed tofu with barbecued pork… [1]


In fact, Lan Ling wasn’t asleep. How could a girl sleep after coming across something like this? When she noticed Yang Ming wake up, Lan Ling quickly closed her eyes. At the moment Yang Ming pressed his lips to her, her depressed mood went away, brimming with an abrupt sweetness.


However, when she noticed that Yang Ming left without a word, her mood couldn’t help but plummet into another depressive episode. Before Lan Ling could regain her mind, she heard the sound of the door opening. Yang Ming had returned.


With the hustle and bustle of metal rattling from the kitchen, the sole miniature doubt that dwelled in her heart quickly dispersed. What’s the use of overthinking it? Isn’t it good enough as long as he treats me well?


A wise man once said, I know everything, but I wouldn’t say it all out…


Lan Ling could uphold this attitude. She knew that once the doubt in her heart was confronted, it was unpredictable whether her relationship with Yang Ming could remain harmonious.


She didn’t want to lose everything she had currently. Hence, acting dumb was the only solution. Even though Lan Ling didn’t want it to turn out like this, she still wasn’t sure whether Yang Ming sincerely offered his love to her.


After all, the nature of them being together was too sudden as well as too monetary. If Yang Ming couldn’t care much about her, Lan Ling didn’t have any means to go about it. Right now, the only thing that could tie down Yang Ming was the voodoo.


Certainly, that was just Lan Ling’s guess after all. Even without the stupid voodoo, Yang Ming would cherish Lan Ling.


Yang Ming finished plating the dishes. Later, he tiptoed toward Lan Ling. Lan Ling abruptly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. However, it was quite sudden, and her eyelash moved a little.


Yang Ming had sharp eyes already, so of course, he noticed these minor details. Hence, he acted as though he didn’t know and thought out loud, “Yi? Are you not awake?”


Lan Ling closed her eyes motionless and ignored Yang Ming’s words.


“Oh, my baby is still asleep. Then, she won’t know what I am going to do to her.” Yang Ming circled around Lan Ling and abruptly put his face closely in front of Lan Ling’s delicate face.


Lan Ling squinted her eye to observe Yang Ming. Suddenly, a “big face” appeared and startled her. But, she noticed Yang Ming’s weird expression. Finally, she couldn’t control herself and broke into laughter, “Hahaha, stop messing around. I will get out of bed…”


“Yi? What a waste. I wanted to play a game of sticking my face on yours.” Yang Ming pretended as though it was a huge loss.


“Bad Yang Ming. You knew I was awake but still played around with me.” Lan Ling complained with a bashful expression.


“I didn’t. I was kind enough to prepare the dishes and invite you for a meal. But, you pretended to sleep to deceive me.” Yang Ming responded with a sullen expression.


“Alright, alright. I admit it is my bad. You are kind to me.” Lan Ling caught the alluring smell of the food with her saliva almost flowed out.


For all this while, Lan Ling was staying alone at home. She was perfunctory with her food. She couldn’t eat her cooking and eating outside was expensive. She was already an economical person after all. Hence, her poor diet mainly comprised of instant noodles and pickles.


Yang Ming noticed it and was determined to improve Lan Ling’s diet.


Lan Ling didn’t have lunch, and her hungry stomach was already complaining. Even before getting dressed, she quickly ran toward the kitchen since she was eager with the upcoming feast.
