Li Qing stayed at Zhuyai Island shamelessly with Sister Hu and Lu Furong for five days.

During these five days, they spent almost all day playing and at night, they came up with various ways to explore calligraphy and the mysteries of the body.

Originally, both Sister Hu and Lu Furong were the kind of women who liked a bit of excitement. After the initial two days of adjustment, the following days were simply uninhibited, capable of giving Li Qing a taste of worldly pleasures at any moment.

In these five days, there was hardly a morning that Li Qing woke up on his own.

If it wasn’t Sister Hu’s tender mouth waking him up, then it was Lu Furong’s surprise face-sitting attack.

This woman really enjoyed such wicked fun, and it seemed like she was getting addicted to it.

Although Li Qing was the one being pranked, he quite liked it.

The sudden attacks Lu Furong staged were more like sudden benefits in his eyes.

In the meantime, Luo Xiaoyu, who dressed like a bad girl, would occasionally take the initiative to contact Li Qing.

The implication was obvious; naturally, she wanted to provide Li Qing with her services again.

But Li Qing now had this pair of cousins by his side, who were getting crazier by the day, and he simply had no time to slip away.

Even if he wanted to sneak in some outside snacks, he didn’t have the chance.

Beautiful days are always fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and Lu Furong and Sister Hu had to leave.

Li Qing himself was fine with that, but the two women couldn’t stay any longer.

On the morning of the eighth day, after one last intense romp in the hotel, the three of them got into a taxi to the airport.

Perhaps because it was time to part ways, both Lu Furong and Sister Hu were insatiable like little wild wolves today.

They didn’t stop until Li Qing was completely drained of energy and shaking like chaff.

From plane to bus, Li Qing and the others returned to the county in the afternoon around three o’clock.

The moment they stepped on familiar land, Sister Hu and Lu Furong almost instantly became other men’s wives again.

The two women huddled together, creating a considerable distance from Li Qing in the same vehicle, and left first.

Sister Hu and Lu Furong had come out under the guise of a sisters’ trip, and if they were seen with him, it could very well reach the ears of Secretary Zhou and Principal Wang.

It was right to be cautious.

Li Qing was well aware of this, so he took a taxi back to Sanhe Village after getting off the bus.

In the late autumn, the big willow tree at the entrance of the village was turning yellow, with a thick layer of leaves underneath.

It didn’t even feel like autumn yet, and it looked like winter was just around the corner.

Since ancient times, autumn has brought solitude and sadness; the season often gives people a melancholic feeling, especially during the drizzling autumn rains.

Li Qing felt the weight of his backpack and walked into the small shop with long strides.

The place no longer bore any resemblance to the days when Auntie Caili ran it.

Under Wu Xingxing’s tireless renovation, it had become a mini resort, albeit one that couldn’t provide accommodation.

Hearing the noise at the door, Wu Xingxing, who was leaning over the counter studying a pile of leaves, looked up.

Her face, clear as the bright moon, was stunned for a few seconds before she sprang out from behind the counter like a nimble skylark, and threw herself into Li Qing’s arms, "You’re finally back!"

Feeling the soft body in his arms, Li Qing suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.

Ever since there were more women and more money in his life, he seemed to have neglected a lot.

Busy with this and that all day long, he didn’t have much time to take care of the most important women around him.

"You’re back, what are you so busy with?" Li Qing asked with a light laugh as he touched Wu Xingxing’s soft, long hair.

A faint blush of shyness appeared on Wu Xingxing’s fair and luminous face as she said with a light laugh, "I’m trying to make a few paintings with these leaves for some home decoration, but I don’t know if it’ll work out. I’m just experimenting right now."

"Your hands are really clever," Li Qing praised sincerely. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Many things that looked very ordinary, very unremarkable, became very good-looking decorations in the hands of Wu Xingxing.

Her hands had the ability to turn waste into treasure.

"Not at all, just messing around when I have nothing to do," Wu Xingxing said, a bit shy from the compliment.

"Oh right, you haven’t told your sister-in-law about returning home yet, have you?" she suddenly asked.

Li Qing shook his head, "I haven’t had a chance to mention it yet, where are they?"

"Today, she and Sister Yue’er went furniture shopping. Sister Yue’er’s house is almost ready, she can move in after a while," Wu Xingxing said.

"Then I’ll just wait for them here," Li Qing said.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but remark on how fast time flies.

Without realizing it, Tian Yue’e’s house was ready for furniture.

It was a pity he was so busy all the time and hadn’t been able to help Tian Yue’e much.

"What are you doing with this? Let me help you," Li Qing offered, pointing to the pile of leaves.

"You just got back; you should rest. This is just me tinkering when I have nothing else to do," Wu Xingxing said with a coy push, guiding Li Qing to the inner room, "Lie down and rest a while."

Taking the opportunity, Li Qing wrapped his arm around Wu Xingxing’s slender waist, "Did you miss me during this time?"

"...Yes, but you never called me," Wu Xingxing said, turning her head away shyly, her lips puckered as if she were holding a wedge.

Li Qing was at a loss for words, "Sorry, I really have been too busy recently. After this busy period is over, I promise to spend more time with you all."

Wu Xingxing nodded and gently pushed Li Qing, "Go get some rest now; I’m going to check on the shop out front."

But Li Qing held her tighter around the waist, "A kiss first."

"Mhm... Someone might see us," Wu Xingxing murmured, her lips pursed shyly as she shook her head.

Li Qing reached out and turned Wu Xingxing’s head, which was nearly buried in his armpit, and leaned down to kiss her.

"Mmm..."

Wu Xingxing gave a soft cry and wrapped her arms around Li Qing’s waist.

Though she verbally refused, she didn’t resist much and responded gently.

Li Qing savored Wu Xingxing’s soft lips, which carried a faint sweetness, as his hands grabbed her pert buttocks.

The soft, highly elastic feeling under his touch caused an uncontrollable ripple of heat to surge through his body.

"Is anyone there?"

Suddenly, a shout came from outside.

Wu Xingxing broke away from Li Qing’s embrace like a startled deer, turning to head out.

Li Qing held her back, whispering, "I’ll go."

Standing outside was a strange man, not a villager,

"Boss, you serve dinner and provide lodging here, right?" the man asked after buying two packs of cigarettes.

Li Qing shook his head and explained, "For dining, we only have barbecue in the evening, and there’s no lodging available. But if you really want a place to stay, the local villagers rent out rooms for fifty yuan a night, and I can contact them for you."
