Chapter 349

She reached up and pulled off her hood, gently removing the strands of hair that had been hidden under her clothes. Although she was still wearing a mask, her obvious feminine features were revealed. Then, Xia Yan seemed to understand and took her hand. His earlier nervousness slowly dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Hua Xin made up her mind and said awkwardly, "I'm jealous." "Huh?" Xia Yan asked, seemingly puzzled, because her voice was too soft. "I said I'm jealous! Because when I was chatting with Tian Yue earlier, I felt like you two, who weren't close, seemed to know you very well, and she even pursued you before, so I felt uncomfortable..." Turning her head, she saw the smiling look in Xia Yan's Xia Yan, and immediately realized that he had pretended not to hear her to lure her in. "We're breaking up!!!!" Hua Xin said Red Temperature. The shyness she had shown earlier seemed to have vanished at that moment. "No, no, no, honey, let's..." Xia Yan hadn't finished speaking when Hua Xin grabbed their clasped hands and rolled her eyes at him. A smile flashed across Xia Yan's eyes, but he didn't continue. Instead, he calmed down and said seriously in a soft voice, "I haven't spoken more than ten sentences to her in the past two years." "And actually, I was jealous too." He paused, "A long time ago." "You talk to a lot of people at work, including other guys, but when you get home, you barely say a few words to me before going to sleep." Hua Xin's eyes flickered slightly, and after calming down, she also pondered the same thing. That was true, because she was really tired when she was busy at work. Sometimes she would eat at the cat cafe because she was hungry, and then take a shower and go to sleep when she got home... "I'll pay attention to that in the future... From now on, I'll hug you first when I get home, and then I'll go to sleep." "That's great! I've been wanting to enjoy my wife's sweet and soft hugs every day for a long time." Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a blissful intoxication. "?" Hua Xin, caught up in self-reproach, hurriedly tried to let go of Xia Yan's hand, put on her hat, and walk away to a safer place, hoping no one would know they were a couple. But Xia Yan's strength was too much for her to overcome. The previous silence vanished instantly. "Actually, I was wrong too," Xia Yan thought for a moment, then said earnestly, "You were the one who spoke your mind first, without getting angry or keeping it bottled up, while I seemed to have been dwelling on this for a long time, intentionally or unintentionally." "So from now on, we need to speak our minds promptly." "I understand..." Hua Xin nodded, her eyes brightening slightly. She understood. Perhaps this was the difference between a fleeting impulse and a lasting relationship. Compared to one-sided longing and fantasies, the trust and mutual understanding that come from sharing one's innermost thoughts are the unique mechanisms of a relationship. After figuring it out, Hua Xin also came to her senses, and said with a sly look in her eyes, "I didn't expect someone to be jealous even of guests..." Xia Yan's eyes narrowed, "I didn't expect someone to be jealous even of classmates." "They call you Class Monitor Class Monitor! Class monitor! Such an affectionate term?!" "Guests! Guests call you beautiful! That's overstepping boundaries?!" "You &@!..." "I @&!..." After the two of them playfully teased each other for a while, they realized that they had already left the school and arrived at a street where only a few pedestrians occasionally walked by. There was a very delicious noodle shop on this street. Xia Yan hadn't known that there was such a noodle shop in this strangely secluded place that wasn't far from the school. This was a place that Hua Xin stumbled upon by accident using a terrible map. After she was no longer afraid of the outside world, she remembered this place. After trying the beef noodles once, she often came here with Xia Yan. "Ahem... if we keep going like this, it'll just taste like vinegar and seasonings." Hua Xin took off her hat, her face slightly red. "Isn't it just vinegar now?" Xia Yan said with a smile. "You're more jealous." "Sigh, I don't know who was pretending to be a master and not saying a word just now, almost making me lose my temper." "You're just as bad, jealous of even the guests, and you still want a hug every day? You really think you're a baby!" "..." Although they were bickering, their bodies still skillfully embraced each other, and a light kiss made them feel exceptionally happy and joyful. Bickering is nothing compared to kissing. Jealousy? They'll probably be jealous of each other like this for the rest of their lives. 272. Shall we play a game? The happy weekend finally gave the two busy making money a chance to breathe, to enjoy Tian Tian world for two during this rare time. But in the living room, something seemed a little different from the usual lazy scene. "Just two more minutes, almost there, I have to hold on, it's almost over..." In the half-lit living room, the sounds of hurried breathing and the contraction and relaxation of limbs drifted out. Xia Yan, shirtless, leaned against the sofa, seemingly enduring something. His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes closed. Sweat covered his well-defined muscles and prominent abs, and his slightly damp hair clung to his forehead. It was clear that this was a normal physique achieved through countless hours of sweat and sustained abstinence—neither the terrifyingly large muscles of a professional bodybuilder nor the Yujiro Hanma, acquired through the Nine Dragon Power. Xia Yan's breathing was slightly rapid, his chest slowly calming the rapid heartbeat caused by the intense exercise. He tried to use deep breaths to recover his strength and last longer for the next round of battle. A man can't say no! "I can't go on anymore, my hands and neck are so sore, my waist feels like it's about to go numb, oh my god, are these even my legs...?" Hua Xin seemed to have become a vampire after seeing the sunlight, completely losing the ability to continue, turning into a puddle of mud on the sofa, even struggling to stand up. "How could you last so long? I remember last time you couldn't last long at all..." Hua Xin buried her head weakly on the sofa, speaking in a muffled voice. Her bangs were completely soaked, and the only thing she wore on her upper body, a pure white tank top, was also faintly wet, covered with water stains. It seemed that the previous session had been too intense; Hua Xin couldn't withstand Xia Yan's high-intensity torment, especially doing something so embarrassing and heart-pounding in the living room before it was completely dark. Today, she was truly exhausted, and the thought of surrendering began to creep into Hua Xin's mind. After all, she hadn't thought much about it before; it turned out there was such a huge difference between men and women... or rather, an insurmountable chasm had formed between her and Xia Yan. Wait... rather than a chasm?... Hua Xin slightly raised her head and glanced at Xia Yan, who seemed to be resting again, fully prepared to repeat the cycle of exercise he'd already done two or three times. Although he was sweating a lot, his stamina was still abundant. It seemed that even before she was blessed by the God of Niuniu and became a woman, she couldn't compare to Xia Yan. Regardless of...
