His response to her kiss was a passionate and forceful one.
At that moment, both their breaths were full of fiery warmth.
—
While some were immersed in happiness, there were naturally others in a state of worry.
In unit 602 of Block C of Qingyuan Estate, Fang Erlan had been cooped up at home for a whole day.
Throughout the day, she had not dared to take even a step out of her house. It was not because that man did not allow her, however, but that she herself did not dare to do so.
She was afraid that once she went out, she would escape to a faraway place and even forsake her own house.
As a result, she stayed home the whole day without going out and didn’t speak a word to him either.
When it was time for dinner, she finally could not bear it any longer as she sat on the sofa.
If she was alone, it was fine since she had no choice. But if she was with someone else and not talking, Fang Erlan could even dig a huge hole in the sky.
“What’s your name?”
“You finally asked me.”
“Even if I didn’t ask, you could tell me by yourself.”
He replied instead, “No, I had to wait until you asked.”
What kind of person is this…
Fang Erlan sat opposite him at the dining table. “Then, answer me. What’s your name?”
“Xiao Chenyang.”
After hearing these three words, she kept silent for some reason.
After about one minute of silence, she finally spoke again, “How old are you?”
“Eighteen.”
“You’re 18 years old?” Fang Erlan was utterly confused as he didn’t look 18 at all.
“Of course not.” He corrected himself, “Eighteen centimeters.”
“What is 18 centimeters?” Fang Erlan was puzzled. She had asked him for his age, yet he was saying such ridiculous things to her.
“My male member is 18 centimeters.” As he replied to her, he used her finger to point to that certain part of his body.
Fang Erlan’s face flushed absolutely red as she berated him, “Idiot, I didn’t ask you about that.”
He responded in a serious manner, “So you weren’t asking me about that? I thought you were afraid I won’t be able to satisfy you when the time comes.”
“…” Fang Erlan felt like he would be the death of her. “I was asking you how old you are.”
“Are you referring to my age when I met you or my age now?”
She could not comprehend that at all. “Is there any difference?”
“Of course.”
“Your age now, then.”
“Oh, I have no comment about my age now.”
“…”
“Where do you live?”
“Wherever you are is where I live.”
“You…” Talking to this man inspired an urge within her to hit him with a broom.
“If you’re done eating, go back to the room to rest.” He reminded her, “Brush your teeth and wash your face first. I’ll go to the supermarket downstairs to buy something.”
“Do you have money?”
“I have nothing but money.”
“I think you probably owe loads of it too.”
He did not rebut and simply went out of the house.
After the door was closed shut, Fang Erlan stood up from the sofa and went to take a bath.
When she came out wearing her set of pajamas, he was back from the supermarket.
Hearing the noise, she went out of her bedroom and saw him carrying two bags of things into the kitchen.
“What did you buy?”
“Food and drinks.”
“Why didn’t you buy them in the day? Did you have to buy these at night?”
While placing the things into the fridge, he remarked, “Aren’t you an actress? If I buy them in the day, it’ll be easy to run into people. Right, who lives in the unit opposite yours?”
“Oh, it’s that male lead that filmed a television drama with me.”
“The male lead that filmed with you?” He paused in his act of putting the items into the fridge and asked, “Why is he living in the unit opposite yours?”
“He was the one who recommended the house to me when I was looking for one previously. He said the environment here is nice and quiet, so I came to take a look.”
“No wonder he took a few glances at me when I was entering the house just now.”
“You met him outside?” Fang Erlan’s nerves tensed up. “Did the two of you talk?”
“No.”
She exclaimed, “Great, now he’ll definitely misunderstand that you’re my boyfriend.”
“How is that a misunderstanding? I really am.”
This shameless thing, he really… deserves a beating.
“What do you mean you really are? Of course you’re not.” She felt the need to explain herself as she went on, “I’m going to the opposite unit for a while. What would happen if this were to get out?”
“That’s true. After all, you shouldn’t have your career affected. If the media reporters find out that you have such a handsome-looking boyfriend like me, won’t I steal your limelight?”
“…”
Fang Erlan was speechless and didn’t know how she could continue speaking to this man.
She opened the door and went out, then pressed the doorbell of Yan Ge’s unit.
Very soon, the door opened. Upon seeing that it was her, he asked, “What’s up?”
“Can we talk inside?”
“Come in.” He turned around and went in.
Fang Erlan walked into his house and closed the door behind her.
She first chuckled before asking him, “Did you run into the guy from my house earlier tonight?”
“I did. Who’s that?” He sat down and enquired in a slow and composed manner.
“That…” Fang Erlan explained, “He’s my cousin, my aunt’s son on my mother’s side.”
“Cousin?” he asked. “You look like that, but your aunt and uncle’s genes are that good?”
“What’s wrong with my looks? People compliment me for being pretty, okay?!”
“Those who compliment you for that must be blind.”
“…” Fang Erlan was in despair. Why were both of them out to anger her? Couldn’t they speak nicely?
“Are you here just to explain that that guy was your cousin?”
“Yes. I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
He evidently enjoyed hearing that from her. “I see. But what’s your cousin doing at your house so late at night?”
“He works nearby and didn’t have a place to stay. Since I have two rooms, I let him stay over for a while.”
“Although that’s fine, he’s still a man after all. You should let him rent a house somewhere else soon.”
“Yeah, I think so as well. Do you have any work arrangements lately?”
“No, I’m resting for a period of time. I’ve pushed back all my work schedules of late.”
“I see. You should rest early then, I’m going back to sleep.”
Yan Ge acknowledged her comment before sending her to the door.
When Fang Erlan came out of his house, the tension within her had not eased at all. What she was doing was akin to deceiving Yan Ge to hide the truth.
However, she could only do that for now as she could not possibly tell him the truth. Wouldn’t Yan Ge look down on her if she told him the truth?
If he was bent on intervening and went to make a police report, wouldn’t that complicate things?
This was how she expected things would go.
But, at present, she had not yet thought of a solution to settle this matter.
When she sat on the bed and placed her laptop on her lap, she felt curious for some reason and started searching online about the 18 centimeters he had mentioned.
She then secretly started to browse online content about it.
After seeing it online, she took out a measuring tape from her drawer.
She was completely alarmed.
That’s really long…
Would it hurt a woman?
She gave a start of astonishment and hurriedly placed the measuring tape back inside her drawer before closing it.
Thereafter, she took soft and gentle steps toward the bathroom and asked, “Could you sleep on the sofa tonight?”
“Why?”
“A man and a woman should maintain some distance between each other.”
“…”
“Did you hear me?”
“I don’t want to be distant from you.”
“How could you be like this…”
“I’ve been like this for a very long time, you just have to get used to it.”
Fang Erlan wanted to burst out at him, but she suppressed it. “I want to sleep on the bed alone.”
“I don’t want to, I want to sleep together with you.”
“Xiao Chenyang…”
“Yes?”
