Chapter 1476: Next Day

Next Day.

Around 6 o'clock.

Sunlight squeezed through the window, accompanied by a refres.h.i.+ng breeze that brushed against Dong Xuebing's bangs. His head felt a bit itchy, and as he woke up, he yawned and stretched lazily. However, his fist accidentally hit the nearby TV cabinet, causing Dong Xuebing to wince in pain. Shaking his hand and blowing on it, the discomfort pa.s.sed, and he felt more awake. He hadn't slept well in days, but he finally slept soundly last night. Now, he felt incredibly energized, as if he could go without sleep for three days and nights without any problem.

Rubbing his eyes, Dong Xuebing turned his head to look around. The bed was empty, and there was only a lingering scent of a woman.

Hmm, where's Mayor Jiang? Wasn't she here just now?

Reaching out to touch the bed, he could feel the lingering warmth from Mayor Jiang's presence. She probably hadn't left long ago. Glancing at the sofa, he noticed her clothes were still there. Right then, the bathroom door gently opened, and Mayor Jiang, wearing a silk nightgown, walked out. Dong Xuebing could sense that she seemed much better. The pale and exhausted look, which often accompanied her due to insomnia, was absent from her forehead. Instead, she had a healthy and vibrant appearance with a touch of charm. However, her expression remained as calm as ever.

Getting up from the cool mat on the floor, Dong Xuebing said, "Mayor Jiang."

Jiang Fangfang looked at him and said, "Hmm, awake?"

"Awake. Cough, did you just get up too?" Dong Xuebing asked.

"Yeah, I just woke up a while ago. I've finished freshening up. How did you sleep?"

"Quite well, thanks to you. I don't feel tired now. I had a good rest."

"That's good." Jiang Fangfang walked to the front of the sofa. "It's past six. You should get up; my mother is still sleeping. I'll make breakfast."

"No, I'll do it."

"You freshen up. I can handle it."

"Wait for me. I'll be right there. I'll help you."

Dong Xuebing volunteered to get up from the blanket. However, as soon as he came out, he realized he wasn't wearing any clothes. His underwear had been thrown onto the chair last night. Dong Xuebing's face immediately reddened, but when he looked at Mayor Jiang, he found she didn't notice him. She was picking up the crumpled lingerie from the sofa cus.h.i.+on. Everything was in a bit of disarray. After picking them up, she went to the wardrobe and opened a drawer, taking out a new lingerie set. She carried it and walked to the bathroom. Dong Xuebing blinked and took advantage of this moment to quickly put on his underwear. He swiftly put on his pants and wrapped the s.h.i.+rt around him, b.u.t.toning it up.

He was ready.

Mayor Jiang also came out.

However, what stunned Dong Xuebing was that Mayor Jiang had taken off her nightgown, wearing only the new lingerie, and walked out boldly. She bent down slightly, picked up a pair of casual pants and a women's s.h.i.+rt from the wardrobe, then reached into a drawer to pull out two short black stockings. Coming back, she sat on the sofa, extending her legs to pull the light-colored casual pants up her shapely thighs. After fastening the belt, she started putting on the s.h.i.+rt, b.u.t.ton by b.u.t.ton. Finally, she crossed her legs and put on the black stockings.

That figure was irresistible.

Dong Xuebing looked at her with a hint of envy, "Uh."

Jiang Fangfang raised her head, "What's wrong? Freshen up."

"Ah, yes, freshening up." Dong Xuebing turned his head and hurriedly went into the bathroom.

Upon entering, I saw Sister Jiang's dirty clothes thrown into the was.h.i.+ng machine. Dong Xuebing couldn't help but recall the events of last night, and his heart started pounding again as he reminisced. Dong Xuebing had always had thoughts about Jiang Fangfang, which was quite normal, given her excellent figure. It would be strange if he didn't have such thoughts. However, despite his fantasies, Dong Xuebing was self-aware and didn't dare to hope that he could have Sister Jiang. However, unexpectedly, Sister Jiang casually agreed last night, even taking the initiative as if it was to help Dong Xuebing sleep better and rest early. Dong Xuebing still felt dizzy; he couldn't grasp Jiang Fangfang's thoughts. It seemed too casual.

Oh well, the deed is done.

What must be done has been done, so there's no need to overthink it.

Last night, Dong Xuebing didn't hold back with Sister Jiang. After exchanging looks with Jiang Fangfang, Dong Xuebing started to tease her. The whole process took about half an hour. Jiang Fangfang didn't say a word during that time, nor did she show any expression. She just turned her head to the side, allowing Dong Xuebing to do as he pleased. Dong Xuebing didn't dare to change positions at the time; he was a bit nervous, but more than that, he was excited. Finally, when it was over, Jiang Fangfang wiped herself with a tissue, didn't bother to clean up, and said to Dong Xuebing, "Go to sleep." Then she went to sleep.

It felt like a dream.

As if it wasn't real.

Dong Xuebing brushed his teeth while reminiscing and smelled a pleasant fragrance after a while. He hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

Jiang Fangfang, wearing an ap.r.o.n, was cooking porridge.

"Oh, didn't I say I would do it?" Dong Xuebing quickly went to help.

Jiang Fangfang said lightly, "Above the refrigerator, get a few eggs and boil them."

"Alright, is three enough? One for each of us?" Dong Xuebing asked immediately.

Jiang Fangfang nodded, "That's fine."

"What time should I leave?" Dong Xuebing asked while busy.

"Before half-past seven, we'll leave together later. No hurry. The signing ceremony is not until ten, so there's plenty of time."

Dong Xuebing nodded, "Then I'll leave in a moment. I'll wait for you outside. Don't let anyone see."

Jiang Fangfang said, "Okay, I can't go out. After you leave, go to the adult health store on the west side and buy a box of contraceptives. I wasn't in my safe period yesterday; don't let me get pregnant."

Dong Xuebing blushed, coughed, and said, "Okay, okay. I forgot about that. Blame it on me. I'll definitely " He suddenly remembered that Sister Jiang had made it clear yesterday that it was just this one time. So he immediately changed his words, "Not the next time. Um, forget what I said."

"Boil the eggs. I'll wake my mother up."

"Got it. You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of it."

"Okay, keep an eye on the porridge pot. Lower the heat when it boils in a while."

Jiang Fangfang heated the Chinese medicine she had prepared yesterday in the microwave and went to wake up her mother.

Dong Xuebing was thinking about Sister Jiang's statement about "just this one time." He couldn't help feeling a bit sad and regretful. People are never satisfied; they want a second time after the first and a third after the second. Satisfaction is elusive. Well, let's see what happens.

6:30 AM.

Jiang's mother got up, and breakfast was ready.

"Mom, let's eat."

"Xiaotao, why are you busy again?"

"It's nothing. Hehe, I made it with Fangfang."

"I am afraid you didn't sleep well. Have you rested enough?"

"I have. I slept soundly yesterday. Look how energetic I am today."

Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang's mother and daughter sat at the dining table, and breakfast began.

Jiang's mother smiled and looked at Dong Xuebing. "As long as you've slept well. But let me give you a suggestion. In the future, you two make less noise in the middle of the night. You woke me up several times." After speaking, Jiang's mother glanced at her daughter. "Look at your blus.h.i.+ng face."

Oh my, Jiang's mother heard it.

Hearing this, Dong Xuebing was embarra.s.sed. Sister Jiang didn't make a sound last night. If there was any noise, it must have been Dong Xuebing's doing. Now that it's been heard, he can only be relieved. Even more embarra.s.sing is that he and Jiang Fangfang are not a couple; it's just to fool and comfort Jiang's mother. If it gets exposed in the future, Dong Xuebing could have explained that they were pretending, which would have been enough. But now, Jiang's mother already knows they did that last night. If it gets revealed later, there will be no way to explain it.

Jiang Fangfang, on the other hand, sipped her porridge casually. "What blus.h.i.+ng face?"

Jiang's mother smiled. "You see, go look at yourself in the mirror. You stubborn girl."

"No," Jiang Fangfang said slowly, "Let's eat, Mom. It's getting cold."

"There's nothing to be embarra.s.sed about." Jiang's mother chuckled. "Alright, I'll eat. I'll eat. But you two have to hurry. I'm still looking forward to holding a grandchild."

Dong Xuebing sweated. "Mom, about that"

Jiang's mother smiled, "I won't say it anymore."

After the meal.

Jiang's mother went to the balcony to stretch her arms and legs.

Dong Xuebing and Jiang Fangfang put away the bowls and chopsticks, then went to the living room to tidy up the bedding, fold the quilt, and arrange the pillows.

"Sister Jiang, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"Well, yesterday, your mother overheard."

"It's okay."

"Cough, it is okay?"

"Yeah."

Finally, it was the cool mat's turn.

Jiang Fangfang held the head, and Dong Xuebing held the tail, rolling it up bit by bit.

But when it rolled to the middle, Dong Xuebing saw a few minor marks on the mat. They were not very noticeable, but it was clear that they were transparent and slightly darker than the surrounding area. Dong Xuebing immediately knew what it was. This position was exactly where Sister Jiang's thighs were pressed yesterday. Dong Xuebing had teased her so vigorously that it was inevitable to leave some traces.

Dong Xuebing looked at Sister Jiang.

Sister Jiang must have noticed it, too.

"This" Dong Xuebing said.

Jiang Fangfang's expression was very natural. "Just roll it up. Don't worry about it. I'll wash it when I come back tonight." She glanced at the clock. "You go out and wait for me. It's time."

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the neighborhood entrance."

"Outside the west alley, not at the entrance."

"Okay, I'll go buy the medicine first. See you in a bit."

"Buy the emergency contraceptive pill that works within twenty-four hours; don't get the wrong one."

"Got it."
