Chapter 155
After dinner, Zhi Xia asked Pei Jing, "Were Fu Yunqi and Shen Hongmei transferred because of you?"
"I just gave Fu Yunqi a choice through Zhao Xin. Of course he would rather go to the city's performing arts troupe than stay in such a harsh place."
If Fu Yunqi focused on his work instead of chasing after women, he would also be an excellent magician with a bright future ahead of him.
Unfortunately, such a talented person with misguided aspirations was bound to end up in trouble sooner or later.
"Zhi Xia, regardless of whether Shen Hongmei says anything about that incident, she knows it herself. Staying here and clinging on would always be dangerous. It's best that Fu Yunqi takes her away. With her gone, she won't have the ability to reach over here anymore."
"Mm mm." Zhi Xia nodded vigorously. She was overjoyed that Shen Hongmei was finally leaving and would no longer pester her.
The weather grew hotter by the day. The croaking of frogs in the backyard grew louder. The two little ones weren't as sleepy as before, but they were still quite synchronized, waking and sleeping together.
When they were first born, my sister was slightly bigger than my brother. Now their body sizes looked about the same, with only a few ounces difference in weight. The two babies looked very alike, both double-eyelided, with high nose bridges and chubby little faces.
When not looking at their lower halves, Zhi Xia often mixed the two children up, but Pei Jing never did, even though she was the one accompanying the babies day and night.
Right then, the two little ones lay on the bed with eyes wide open, occasionally tilting their heads and babbling at each other in pure baby talk that only they could understand.
Zhi Xia walked over and planted a kiss on the forehead of the one lying on the outside. It made her laugh happily, waving her little paws aggressively but not knowing where to put her strength, making her movements look somewhat chaotic.
"Hehe..." Zhi Xia also laughed heartily, extending a finger for her to grab. Her grip was tight and quite strong. "Our little Wanqing is so cute. Do you miss Mommy?"
In comparison, her brother Pei Chenye smiled less and was closer to Pei Jing.
Perhaps it was because Pei Jing often carried him outside, while Zhi Xia had less strength and at most just played with them a little, rarely picking them up except when they cried or made a fuss. The hot weather meant less clothing. With fewer obstacles to their movement, the little ones' legs were often kicking up, as if they had endless energy. Without baby health checks at this time, Zhi Xia knew some procedures and gave them massages, touches and chatter every day, and let them listen to music when free.
After Pei Jing learned her secret, it really became much more convenient. She no longer needed to hide anything about the babies' clothing and supplies from him, at least able to sleep properly at night without getting up frequently to change diapers. As long as they didn't poop, feeding them twice a night would suffice.
After Pei Jing finished washing the dishes, he came in and asked, "Do you want to shower first, or should I go first?"
"Is the water on the stove hot? Let's give the babies a wash too?" The weather was scorching hot like a big furnace. Even the babies had sweat on the tips of their noses.
The fan couldn't be placed too close either, just blowing from afar. Sitting here you could barely feel a light breeze.
"Alright, I'll prepare the water. Let's wash them in the living room." Pei Jing turned and headed out.
The wash basin was a special baby bath tub with a protruding center.
Placing the little one inside, Zhi Xia used her fingers to gently massage and wash his body while Pei Jing washed his hair. The little guy was perfectly happy and cooperative, kicking his legs playfully in the water.
The sister was not so well-behaved though. Washing was fine but when it came to the hair wash, she cried from start to finish until they finally pinned her down. She even got Zhi Xia's clothes all wet.
After the bath and feeding them milk to sleep, Zhi Xia was soaked in sweat herself.
After washing up, it was finally time to sleep - past 10 pm already when she checked the time.
Drowsy, Zhi Xia felt herself being picked up, smelling the familiar scent. Without opening her eyes, she put her arm around his neck and murmured, "Where are we going?"
"To the next room to sleep." Pei Jing's voice was clear, instantly chasing away her sleepiness.
So the saintly man also had mortal desires!
The lustful side of her was already stirred up. Zhi Xia's eyes shot wide open, meeting his smiling gaze directly.
Zhi Xia smiled back. The door opened and closed again. Their hot bodies tangled together, but the wooden bed let out creaking noises - intense yet embarrassing.
The past gentleness seemed to vanish. Tonight he turned into a wild beast, devouring her mercilessly.
Never having experienced such intensity, Zhi Xia felt very unaccustomed. Her body couldn't take it either, yet the strong desires emanating within made her unable to restrain herself from sinking deeper.
She didn't know how much time passed before it finally ended. Her limbs were weak and powerless.
He was still kissing her, just switching from the previous fierceness to softness and tenderness. "When you have time, fix the bed, will you? Such loud noises, I'm afraid people next door might hear." Zhi Xia's voice was hoarse. She didn't even want to move a finger.
"Heh..." His low laughter carried from his lips, hot breath blowing by her ear. "Did you forget how loud your own voice was?"
Zhi Xia glared at him indignantly. "Whose fault was that? You even dare mock me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I'm happy." With a slight exertion, Pei Jing's strong arms flipped their positions. His hands started roaming again.
"What are you doing? So ticklish..." Zhi Xia tried to grab his wandering hands, complaining, "I want to shower. Just washed and I'm all sweaty again."
"Then we'll wash again later." She was already sweaty anyway, so what was a little more?
"That's not okay either. The noises were too loud." What Zhi Xia meant was that he was too forceful. If his past gentleness was like a light breeze, then now he was a storm she couldn't withstand with her petite frame.
Pei Jing stopped his motions, seemingly lost in thought.
Shortly after, he got up and spread a mat on the floor, pulling the blanket down too.
Her skin was delicate. Direct contact with the mat would definitely rub it raw.
The long night stretched on, restless.
Zhi Xia didn't understand either. How could the previously gentle man who couldn't even be roused now act so differently, turning into a beast just like that?
...
Zhi Xia awoke to the babies' cries. Opening her eyes, daylight already streamed in brightly. Checking the time - it was past noon already!
She quickly fed the babies milk, changed their diapers. Her limbs were weak and limp. Her body felt like it had been steamrolled, hurting all over with the slightest movement.
Recalling last night, it was unbridled debauchery like never before.
She couldn't even remember how many times it happened before she finally fell asleep, only knowing he carried her to shower every time, and even in the bathroom they...
Afterwards she didn't even have the awareness to feed the babies, only feeling the powerful suckling at her breast.
Her fair little face turned red. She hurriedly struggled to get up but nearly crumpled to the floor, her legs gone soft.
