Before dawn.
Inside a room in the Small Western-Style Building.
Seeing an extra woman beside him, Dong Xuebin reflexively sprang upright in bed, startled out of his wits.
"Sister Zhang?" Dong Xuebin said in astonishment. "When did you get here?"
Zhang Longjuan lay on the bed and smiled. "I've been here for a while. I was watching you sleep."
Dong Xuebin groaned. "Well, men and women should keep their distance. Um, you..."
Zhang Longjuan laughed loudly, rubbing her legs together in a provocative manner while tracing circles over the bath towel wrapped around her body with a finger. "What distance? There aren't so many rules here. Big Sister couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with you. Who knew you'd fall asleep so quickly? I couldn't bear to wake you, so I stayed quietly beside you. It gave me a chance to get a good look at our Little Handsome Guy."
Dong Xuebin said bitterly, "You're making fun of me."
"Big Sister is telling the truth. The more I look at you, the more handsome you seem. Ha." Zhang Longjuan smiled.
Dong Xuebin was speechless. Pretending to be solemn, he said, "Sister Zhang, I've been married for ages."
"I know. Old Xu told me." Zhang Longjuan looked at him. "But Big Sister just likes looking at you. What should we do about that?"
"Uh, I don't know."
"Then let Big Sister look a little longer."
"Sweat. It's already before dawn. We have to get up early tomorrow."
"That's fine. Getting up early or late makes no difference."
"But... but I can't sleep if you keep looking at me."
"Then keep Big Sister company and chat. I can't sleep either."
After all that, Zhang Longjuan still hadn't listened. Dong Xuebin had no choice. He knew there was no reasoning with Big Sister Zhang. "Then what do you want to talk about?"
"Ha, let's talk about you and Old Xu."
"...Could you sit up first?"
"It's much more comfortable lying down. I'm not sitting up. Tell me, how is Old Xu in bed?"
"..." Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down Dong Xuebin's forehead. "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Longjuan smiled openly. "Old Xu has been especially old-fashioned since our school days. I don't know what she's like in bed. I'm curious. Hurry and tell Big Sister. I'll definitely keep it secret."
"There's really nothing!"
"Does Old Xu **?"
"Sweat. How would I know?"
"I think Old Xu definitely makes noise, right? The more conservative someone looks, the more... you know... they are in bed. So? Was Big Sister right? Ha, I knew it."
"No!"
"How long do you two usually go at it?"
"Sister Zhang! There's really nothing between Big Sister Xu and me!"
"If you won't say it, forget it. Hehe, do you like women older than you?"
"No..."
"No? Then how could you get together with Old Xu?"
"There's really nothing between us!"
"Then you like women in their thirties? Makes sense. Last time I video-called Old Xu, that old thing looked like she'd suddenly gotten ten years younger. I was jealous just looking at her."
"..."
"How old is your mother?"
"Over fifty, I think."
"That's fine. I'm quite a bit younger than your mother. Could you accept someone Big Sister's age? Be honest. Don't brush Sister Zhang off."
"..."
"Too embarrassed to say it? Then you can accept it? Not bad, kid. You're young, but your tastes are pretty heavy. Ha. But I like that!"
"..."
Zhang Longjuan smiled at him, reached out to smooth her long hair, then turned her head and flicked it. Her hair drifted onto Dong Xuebin's face, making his cheeks itch. "Well? Do you think your Big Sister Zhang is alright? Do you want a taste of Big Sister?"
Dong Xuebin was drenched in sweat. "Please stop joking around."
Zhang Longjuan chuckled. "I'm not joking. If we were back home, I wouldn't dare poach Old Xu's man. I know Old Xu's fighting ability. I definitely couldn't beat her. Old Xu could cripple me with one hand. Hahaha. But this isn't home." As she spoke, Zhang Longjuan lifted her plump thigh, hooked her ankle, and draped her leg over Dong Xuebin's through the blanket. Her toes even slid along his leg.
Dong Xuebin shuddered all over and said helplessly, "Sister Zhang."
If it had been anyone else, Dong Xuebin would have long since gotten up and left. But this was Xu Yan's old classmate, and a beautiful mature woman at that. He couldn't even bring himself to get angry at her.
Zhang Longjuan said nothing, continuing to rub Dong Xuebin's calf with her toes as she gazed at him teasingly. Beneath her long lashes lay endless temptation.
"Do you smoke?" Dong Xuebin pulled his leg away and changed the subject.
"Mm, I'll have one." Zhang Longjuan answered casually.
Dong Xuebin reached around and took the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his bag, only to discover there was just one left inside. He had no choice but to hand it to Big Sister Zhang. "You have it."
"You're not smoking?"
"It's the last one. I only brought one pack when I came."
Zhang Longjuan held the cigarette between her fingers, and Dong Xuebin lit it for her.
Dong Xuebin had originally wanted Zhang Longjuan to return to her own room and get him a pack, so he could take the opportunity to get dressed and climb out of bed. But Big Sister Zhang continued lying there calmly, showing no intention of moving. Dong Xuebin groaned inwardly. With such a Great Beauty lying beside him, what was he supposed to do?
Smoke curled through the room.
Watching her smoke made Dong Xuebin's craving flare up too. He swallowed, but he was only wearing underwear, so it was awkward to go out looking for cigarettes in front of her.
Zhang Longjuan noticed. Laughing, she flicked her hand toward him and raised the cigarette between her fingers. "Take a puff, young man."
"No."
"Are you being polite for show?"
Dong Xuebin thought about how he had already smoked a cigarette with Big Sister Zhang's saliva on it during the trip here. There was no point worrying about it now. He simply lowered his head toward her hand and took a deep drag.
"That's more like it." Zhang Longjuan didn't mind at all. She immediately brought the cigarette back to her lips and took a deep drag from the filter Dong Xuebin had just bitten.
"Another?"
"...Mm."
Dong Xuebin decided to go all out. Who was afraid of whom?
The atmosphere became a little ambiguous as they shared the single cigarette, taking turns puffing on it.
Zhang Longjuan liked to bite down on cigarettes, while Dong Xuebin held them lightly between his lips. By the time the cigarette was finished, its flattened filter was covered in tooth marks and damp saliva.
Zhang Longjuan stubbed out the cigarette, casually tossed the ashtray onto the table, then flopped back down onto the bed. This time, she snatched some of Dong Xuebin's blanket and boldly pulled it over herself. "Ha, let's sleep together tonight, Little Handsome Guy."
The bed was large, but the blanket was narrow.
Once Big Sister Zhang slipped beneath it, their bodies inevitably came into contact under the covers.
Every pore on Dong Xuebin's body seemed to open. He could faintly feel a patch of smooth skin against his thigh, while his left arm brushed against her bath towel. The blanket was instantly filled with a fragrant feminine scent. Dong Xuebin's breathing caught, and even his blood seemed to boil.
Damn!
She was way too open!
Dong Xuebin kept telling himself he couldn't take this anymore!
But despite his impulses, Dong Xuebin still knew what he was doing. The woman beneath the blanket was Xu Yan's old classmate, and he had come to America on business. Naturally, he didn't dare act recklessly. He could only stiffly shift away and look at Zhang Longjuan with a bitter smile. "Sister Zhang, aren't you making things difficult for me? Um, cough, cough, how can we sleep together? That's not right."
Zhang Longjuan smiled unconcernedly. "What's there to be afraid of? Hehe, you're pretty thin-skinned."
"Sister Zhang, come on, could you stop hitting on me?"
"That works too." Zhang Longjuan smiled. "But you have to massage Big Sister's shoulders. I've been busy all day and I'm tired. Once I'm comfortable, I'll go back and sleep."
"That I can do." Dong Xuebin wanted her to leave quickly, or he really might lose control. He moved closer. "Will you sit up too?"
Zhang Longjuan lazily rolled over. "No. Big Sister will lie on her stomach."
Fine, lying on her stomach it was. Dong Xuebin placed his hands on her smooth shoulders. Big Sister Zhang's skin was warm, warmer than his palms, and felt very comfortable to the touch.
He kneaded.
And kneaded.
Zhang Longjuan closed her eyes comfortably and let out a few soft moans, making no effort to control her voice. She seemed to feel nothing improper about it. Whenever Dong Xuebin made her feel good, Big Sister Zhang would moan heavily, making Dong Xuebin's body grow hotter and hotter.
Not long after.
"Alright, thank you, Little Handsome Guy." Zhang Longjuan smiled.
"You're welcome."
"Your technique is pretty good. Do you often massage Old Xu too?"
"Uh, no..."
"Then let's sleep. It's getting late."
"Huh? Didn't you just say..."
"Alright, alright." Zhang Longjuan smiled and brushed Dong Xuebin's bangs aside. She tossed her hair back with flair, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed. Smiling at him, she said, "I was just teasing you, kid. You took it seriously? At my age, would I really hit on you? Wouldn't Big Sister be embarrassing herself?"
Dong Xuebin was speechless.
Then what was all that just now?
Zhang Longjuan seemed to know what Dong Xuebin was thinking. She rummaged through a drawer, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and tossed it to him. "There are cigarettes and alcohol in the cabinet. Smoke these for now." She paused, then chuckled. "Hehe, I was just testing you, kid, checking your self-control for Old Xu. Mm, not bad, young man. You passed the test. Ha, with you taking care of Old Xu as her little lover, I can rest easy."
Sweat. Who tested people like that?
Still, after spending several hours with Zhang Longjuan, Dong Xuebin had started getting used to her way of doing things. She was simply someone who never played by the rules.
"Big Sister is going back. Get some sleep."
"Alright. Good night, then."
"Mm, good night."
Before leaving, Zhang Longjuan even gave Dong Xuebin a seductive wink.
Dong Xuebin's heart trembled again, leaving him with an unbearable itch.
Seeing Dong Xuebin's expression on the bed, Zhang Longjuan burst into laughter and gave a little whistle before finally closing the door for him with a smile.
Sigh, she was finally gone.
That Big Sister Zhang really was an Old Enchantress!
Pulling the blanket over himself, Dong Xuebin lay down. Breathing in the feminine fragrance lingering beneath the covers and Zhang Longjuan's remaining warmth, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
