Chapter 127 – Under the bed

8 pm.

Qu Yunxuan’s unit.

It was getting colder as winter approaches. The heating in this estate was not very powerful, and Dong Xuebing could only sit near the heater in the living room watching the news on TV. He knows after the mess he created at the newspaper agency, Qu Yunxuan, who had resumed her position, will have many works to do. She won’t be able to return home at about 7pm. But Dong Xuebing waited until 8pm. Aunt Xuan was still not back yet. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and sent her an SMS asking where she was. Then he went to the bathroom to cut his nails.

Sounds of keys rattling could be heard outside the door, and after a while, the door opens.

“Mum, I have already submitted my resignation letter. Let’s stop talking about this.” Qu Yunxuan walked in with her phone. She hanged her bag on a hook and looked towards the bathroom. “I can just look for another job……. Don’t worry about me. I am fine. You don’t need to come over……. No need…… Yes…… I am really fine. Let’s talk again, tomorrow…… Ok. Bye.”

Dong Xuebing heard the conversation, put down the nail clipper, and walked out of the bathroom. “What resignation letter?”

Qu Yunxuan kept her iPhone 4 and smiles: “I resigned this afternoon. Make a guess, what did I write in my resignation letter? I only wrote two words. I quit. Hahaha. I am back late is because of a farewell dinner with my colleagues.”

Dong Xuebing thought for a while: “Is it because of the trouble I created?” He knew that the head of the news agency and the rest had agreed to reinstate Qu Yunxuan’s position was due to the pressure from the Central Publicity Department. But there will definitely rumors, and gossip about Qu Yunxuan and the leaders will look at her differently. It was not easy to face these.

“What are you talking about?! If it wasn’t for you, I would still be accused and got to resign with humiliation. But you have help me get back at them and that Gong Wei still had to operate the elevators. What’s the big deal with resigning?” Qu Yunxuan laughed as she said this. “My colleagues at the agency are still talking about this. Some people who hated that Gong Wei did not do any work in the afternoon. They spent the whole afternoon taking the elevators up and down.”

Dong Xuebing also felt this was a good thing for Qu Yunxuan. He rather Qu Yunxuan to resign with her head held high than to leave after being humiliated.

“Oh, your friend seems to be somebody. After you leave, the higher-ups withdraw the order to stop publications.”

“Ah…… I am also not sure about this. Her position should not be so influential.” Dong Xuebing felt Xue Huilan must have asked someone to help her. The State Publicity Department’s research division should not have the authority to give such orders. Sighed…… I had only helped her get back her wallet from that thief, and she returned such a big favor. Now, I am the one owing her a favour. Hmmm……. I must return her the favour in the future.

Qu Yunxuan took off her leather shoes and changed to slippers. She sat on the sofa and took a sip of hot tea. She looked at Dong Xuebing without blinking.

Dong Xuebing felt uncomfortable: “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me this way?”

Qu Yunxuan replied in a serious tone: “Xiao Bing, do you still remember about the traffic accident near our estate? If you did not save me from that truck, I would have died. Also, I can’t imagine how badly beaten up I will be if you arrived a few minutes late in Hangzhou. Plus, this time, you…… you have helped me a lot…… I can’t……” Qu Yunxuan touched Dong Xuebing’s face lightly. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

Dong Xuebing coughed embarra.s.sedly: “What are you talking about? We are already in that sort of relations.h.i.+p and what’s there to be thankful about?”

“Rubbis.h.!.+ Who is in a relations.h.i.+p with you?” Qu Yunxuan flicked his forehead and laughed. “I will go take a shower now. You rest early tonight.”

“Errr…… the heating system in our building is not warm. Can I sleep at your place tonight?”

“……. What do you think?”

“I can sleep on the sofa.”

“Even if you sleep on the floor is also not allowed.”

“Ah…… just for this one time…… Please…….”

“Go away! Or I will hit you!” Qu Yunxuan was feeling angry and funny at the same time. She slapped Dong Xuebing’s hand, which was about to grope her b.u.t.t. Then she stood up and went back to her room to get a set of long johns. She brought the long johns into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. “If you are not in a hurry to go back, then watch TV by yourself. I might need your help later.”

“Ok!”

Although Aunt Xuan was acting the same as before, Dong Xuebing knew that they had gotten closer after everything that had happened. Dong Xuebing could not concentrate on the TV after he heard some movements in the bathroom. He looked towards the direction of the toilet for a long time. He mustered up his courage and carried a chair softly towards the bathroom door. He placed the chair outside the bathroom door and looked at the frosted gla.s.s door. Nothing can be seen through the frosted gla.s.s door. He could only see some shadows. But at least this was better than watching the TV.

Swish, tap – this sounds like Aunt Xuan taking off her clothes and placing them in the was.h.i.+ng machine.

Flip flop, flip flops – It was the sound of rubber slippers.

Shhhh……. The water for the shower head was turned on.

Splatter…… Aunt Xuan should be was.h.i.+ng her hair or cleaning her body with shower foam.

Dong Xuebing felt he could see what Aunt Xuan was doing behind the door.

The water sound stopped, and after a while, the bathroom door opened slightly. “Xiao Bing, help me……. Huh? What are you doing here?” Qu Yunxuan saw Dong Xuebing through the small crack of the door and immediately slam the door shut. “Pervert! Why are you peeping? You want a beating by me?”

Dong Xuebing sweated. “I did not see anything. Really. This place is warmer, so I sat here for a while. Err…… why did you call out to me?”

Qu Yunxuan paused for a while. “I forgot to bring my underwear. It is in the bottom drawer of my closet. Can you bring it to me?”

Dong Xuebing became excited when he heard this ‘mission.’ “Ok! Be right back!”

“Don’t go through all my things!”

“I know.” Dong Xuebing quickly entered Qu Yunxuan’s room and opened the bottom drawer. He could smell a lovely fragrance as he opened the drawer. The drawer was full of woman’s underwear and bra. There was a red-colored piece, some were lacy, and some were skinned colored. Dong Xuebing shouted: “What color do you want? Do you want those thicker type or the thin type? Also, what designs do you need? Lacy or non-lacy?”

“Do you believe that I will kill you when I come out?”

“Huh? I just want to get the right piece for you. You want me to choose for you?”

“Just hurry up and don’t go through my stuff.”

“Ok.” Qu Yunxuan’s underwear was big. It was bigger than his underwear. Dong Xuebing chose a matching set he likes. It was lacy and very s.e.xy. But he thought for a while and felt it does not suit Aunt Xuan. So, he picked another set which was skinned colored. The material felt soft and smooth. This should suit her well. “Oh, do you need me to bring you a pair of stockings?”

Aunt Xuan paused for a while and replied: “Bring me a pair.”

“You want the thin types or the thicker ones? White or red color?”

“Are you done with your questions? Just hurry up!”

Dong Xuebing swung her panties with his fingers and walked to the bathroom. He knocked on the door. “Here….”

The person outside the frosted gla.s.s door could not see clearly if the person inside stands away from the door. But if the person inside moved nearer to the door, the one outside will be able to see the inside clearer. Aunt Xuan was pressing against the door to avoid Dong Xuebing from getting a glimpse of her naked body when she opens the door slightly. She opened the door slightly and extended her hand out. “Where is it?”

Qu Yunxuan was leaning against the gla.s.s door, and Dong Xuebing could see her breast clearly!

“Pa.s.s it to me. What are you waiting for?”

Dong Xuebing’s heart was racing. He had always wanted to see this part of Qu Yunxuan.

A few seconds later, Aunt Xuan realized what was happening and quickly step away from the frosted gla.s.s door. But the two round watermarks were still on the door.

Dong Xuebing swallowed his saliva: “Here……. Take it.”

That fair smooth hand s.n.a.t.c.hed the underwear from Dong Xuebing, and her fingernails even scratched his arm. “Sooner or later, I will die from anger! Go and switch on the air conditioner! Go and warm up the house now!”

Dong Xuebing thought to himself. ‘When did I p.i.s.s you off?’ He returned to the living and switch on the air conditioner. Warm air started to flow out after a while. At the same time, Qu Yunxuan also walks into the living room in her long johns and dripping hair. She looked beautiful as usual, and her body-hugging long johns showed her voluptuous figure.

Dong Xuebing could not take his eyes off her and extended his arms to hug her. “Xuan Xuan.”

“Stop fooling around.” Qu Yunxuan rolled her eyes. “Help me first. I have some scratches which I can’t reach. These scratches should be from Hangzhou. Can you apply some anti-inflammation cream for me?” She picked up a tube of medicine and pa.s.sed it to Dong Xuebing. “Let’s go to the room.”

Dong Xuebing heard that and felt his heart ached. “You should have told me earlier. Quick, show me the wound. If it is serious, you should go and see a doctor.”

“I will be fine after applying some medicine.” After entering the bedroom, Qu Yunxuan sat on the bed and hesitated. Her face was red as she turned away from Dong Xuebing. She slowly lifts her long johns to show her fair and smooth back. “Can you see it?”

Dong Xuebing controlled himself and replied. “I can’t see it.”

Qu Yunxuan lifted her top higher, and her bra and the whole lower back was showing. “How about now?”

“There are no wounds at all.”

“You want me to hit you with a broom?”

Dong Xuebing replied innocently. “I am not lying. There are really no wounds. Errr…… I can only see a little mole on your back.”

Qu Yunxuan turned and stared at him. She hesitated and slowly removed her top. After removing her top, she quickly covers her chest with her clothes. “How about now?”

Dong Xuebing replied: “Aunt Xuan, do you want me to bring a mirror for you? There are no wounds on your back.”

“Oh…… my bra strap must be covering the scratches. You…… Errrr……” Qu Yunxuan did not continue and only show him her exposed back.

Dong Xuebing immediately understood what she wants. “You want me to unhook your bra?” Seeing no reply from her, Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and rubbed his hands. He carefully reached over with his fingers and fumble with the hook. He finally manages to unhook her bra after a long time. Aunt Xuan’s back was fully exposed to him.

“Don’t look at other places. Can you see the scratches?”

Dong Xuebing saw some scratches in the center of her back and quickly applied some medication evenly on the wound. “The wound is not very big and should heal soon. Is it painful?”

“No. It just feels itchy.”

“Then, it must be healing. Be careful when you wear your bra these few days. Avoid touching the wound.” After applying the medicine, Dong Xuebing lowered his head and blew on her wound lightly.

Qu Yunxuan s.h.i.+vered. “It’s ticklish. Stop fooling around.” She looked at the time. “It’s already 9 pm. Go back and sleep.”

Dong Xuebing was unwilling to leave. “I really cannot sleep here with you?”

“Nonsense. How can we sleep together?” Qu Yunxuan turned around and looked at him. She lowered her head and give him a peck on his checks. “Go back. I still need to wear my clothes.”

Dong Xuebing blinked and said: “One more kiss.”

Qu Yunxuan used her legs and knees to prevent Dong Xuebing from moving closer to her and gave him a light kiss on his lips.

Although it was not enough, Dong Xuebing was satisfied. “Wear your clothes now and don’t catch a cold. I will go……”

Clicked, clicked! Someone was opening the gates of Qu Yunxuan’s unit. Before both of them could react, the main door opened, and someone shouted. “Yunxuan, why did you resign? Hurry up and tell me what happened.” It was Qu Yunxuan’s mother. “Even if they transfer you to another department, you also do not have to resign. Did something happen at work?”

Qu Yunxuan panicked and tried to wear back her bra and top. However, she could not find the opening of her top in her rush. Instead, she exposed her breast to Dong Xuebing.

But Dong Xuebing was not in the mood to enjoy the view. He quickly stood up and looked at Qu Yunxuan, asking her what he should do now.

“Yunxuan, are you sleeping?”

Qu Yunxuan had no time to wear back her clothes and grabbed Dong Xuebing. She pushes him down, asking him to hide under the bed first. If she were caught in her current state with Xiao Bing by her mother, her mother would surely misunderstand them were doing something in the room. “Mum…… didn’t I tell you not to go out so late at night? It is almost new year, and it is not safe outside!”

Dong Xuebing knew what Aunt Xuan meant and quickly lifted the sheets and hid under the bed.

“I am concern about you. You just keep everything to yourself!” Qu Yunxuan’s mother had walked to the bedroom and entered!

Qu Yunxuan immediately moved forward to block her mother.

Dong Xuebing knew both his legs were still outside and quickly moved his legs under the bed.

“Eh, why are you not wearing anything? What are you doing?”

“I have some scratches on my back, and I am applying medicine. Let’s go to the living room. I had switched on the air conditioner. Let’s talk in the living room.”

“Where is the wound? Let me see.”

Dong Xuebing, who was under the bed, could hear the door of the bedroom closing, and the mother and daughter’s voices getting softer. He looked around him and was speechless. How did such a ridiculous thing happen to him? He could faintly hear Qu Yunxuan telling her mother what happened at the newspaper agency. 5 minutes…… 10 minutes…… 15 minutes……

After a while. “Mum, you better go back now.”

“Didn’t you say it is dangerous outside? It is almost 9.30 pm. How can I go back now?”

“Then…… you…… Errr……”

“Ok. I am feeling more a.s.sured now. It’s also good you resign from that place. Those people should be taught a lesson. That Dong Xuebing brat is really capable now. He even knows people in the Central Publicity Department?”

Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes when he heard it. In front of me, you call me Xiao Bing, when I am not around, you call me a brat?

“Ok. Let stop talking and sleep. Yunxuan, get me a blanket. We will sleep together tonight.”

“Errr…….”

“What is wrong with you today? What do you want to say?”

“Nothing. Why not you sleep on the sofa tonight?”

“Huh? I raise you up for almost 30 years, and you are telling me to sleep on the sofa?”

“That’s not I meant. Look at my hands and here. These are the injuries I got from Hangzhou. If we slept on a bed together, you might touch my wounds. I also have some scratches on my back. It will be painful if you accidentally touch it and I won’t be able to sleep well.”

“You are so pampered?”

“……”

“Fine. Go and get me a blanket. I will sleep on the sofa tonight! Hmph!”

The bedroom door opened and Dong Xuebing could see Qu Yunxuan’s feet. She took a blanket from her closet and pa.s.sed to her mother. She then chatted with her mother for a while before returning to her room. She closes the door softly and locked it.

“Eh, come out.” Qu Yunxuan kicked her bed and said softly.

Dong Xuebing slowly crawled out from under the bed. “What should we do now? Wait for Aunty to sleep first?”

Qu Yunxuan sat on the bed helplessly. “She will hear us opening the door even when she sleeps.”

Dong Xuebing blinked: “Then……”

Qu Yunxuan sat there for a while and then walked over to the closet. She looked around in her closet and took out a thick blanket. She threw it on her bed. “You are not allowed to speak in your dreams, and you are not allowed to touch me, Do you understand?”

d.a.m.n!

Dong Xuebing brightens up. “I can sleep here? Both of us in one bed?”

Qu Yunxuan stares at him. “If you want, you can sleep on the floor! I will not care if you caught a cold!”

Hahaha. Being trap inside the room by Qu Yunxuan’s mother was not a bad thing at all!
