Li Haochen took out a prepared large red envelope, filled with 888 yuan in crisp banknotes, for the boat.
He wasn't afraid of someone breaking the window to take it; this place was covered by surveillance cameras everywhere.
After tidying up, he checked and locked the door before riding his bike home.
Upon entering the village, Li Haochen stopped and pushed his bike, strolling along the asphalt road. The fuchsia flowers on both sides had shed their withered leaves, but upon closer inspection, the branches were already covered with plump buds. In another two weeks, they would be a sea of golden yellow, and this road might even become a viral check-in spot.
Back home, there was no fragrant meal, but plenty of dimness in the air. It was obvious that the two women had gone to a beauty salon together.
Indeed, before Li Haochen could even call to ask, Murong Yanran initiated a video call. They were both having pedicures. Seeing how relaxed they looked, Li Haochen felt like getting a massage himself, a proper one.
The night was quite cool. Li Haochen was too lazy to ride his electric bike out for food, as there was plenty to eat at home. He could just whip up something simple.
While cooking rice, Li Haochen sliced a piece of cured sausage and steamed it. When the rice was ready, he put on a headlamp and went down to the vegetable patch to pick some lettuce and spring onions.
These were genuinely pollution-free vegetables. After washing them, he stir-fried them with some crushed garlic. He didn't cook them for too long, as overcooked vegetables weren't tasty. They were best eaten when they were about 40% cooked and 60% raw.
After dinner, Li Haochen lay on the sofa and watched television. Honestly, the current programs were really boring, all about young idols with no substance.
Perhaps it was due to the changing times. This generation liked these things. As for whether they were good or bad, he couldn't comment.
At ten o'clock at night, Murong Yanran and the other woman returned, carrying several exquisite bags. It seemed they had a fruitful outing.
"Here, I bought this for you, hehe!"
Murong Yanran handed over a bag, smiling at Li Haochen.
"What is it?"
Li Haochen was naturally happy to receive a gift and eagerly opened it...
"How is it? Do you like it? I spent a long time picking it out!"
"I... I like it!"
Looking at the pair of bright red Pikachu underwear inside the bag, Li Haochen felt a headache coming on. Why did she like buying such things? No, if he was going to wear them, they would wear them together.
While Murong Yanran and the other woman went to take a shower, Li Haochen grabbed his phone and hid aside to open Taobao, searching for something. After a while, his eyes lit up, and he revealed a cunning smile. He had found it, hehe!
"Why are you smiling so pervertedly? Don't tell me you're watching adult videos?"
Murong Yanran's sudden appearance startled Li Haochen. He quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket. "I have the real thing, why would I watch videos? I'm not stupid, hehe!"
"You pervert, I'm not talking to you. I'm going to bed. Don't come in, okay~"
What the heck, this wasn't telling him not to come in, it was practically inviting him. If he still didn't understand, he could go feed the dogs.
Li Haochen's heart pounded like a galloping deer. He quickly went into the bathroom for a nice, fragrant bath.
Xie Baolian's room was on the first floor. The soundproofing in the villa rooms was top-notch. Tonight was... hehe!
Li Haochen tiptoed to the second floor, his heart filled with excitement as he twisted the doorknob.
"Click~"
The door slowly opened. The room was softly lit, and a faint scent of perfume lingered in the air. The atmosphere was perfect.
Murong Yanran wasn't asleep yet. She was leaning against the headboard, looking down at her phone, and didn't even notice Li Haochen entering.
Closing the door and locking it, Li Haochen walked over and slipped into the other side of the covers. "What are you looking at?"
"I'm not telling you." Murong Yanran's small face blushed, and she turned off her phone, placing it on the bedside table.
"Then... should I turn off the light?"
"No, just dim it a little."
"Okay!"
As the lights dimmed, they could both feel their nervousness. Although they had been intimate before, they hadn't yet crossed that final boundary.
At this moment, tinged with nervousness, there was also a hint of magical anticipation.
They looked at each other with affectionate gazes. Their lips, as if drawn by gravity, moved closer and closer, touched, and heat spread through their bodies.
Gently disrobing, amidst the undulating peaks, two inches of trembling "red mountain flowers" were particularly eye-catching... Li Haochen's eyes were fixed, and he was so stunned that he forgot what was important.
Murong Yanran glared at Li Haochen with a hint of playful annoyance. At such a crucial moment, why was he spacing out?
She gave Li Haochen a push. He snapped back to reality, leaned down, and...
Murong Yanran bit her red lips, her hands tightly gripping the bedsheet. A fleeting expression of pain crossed her face, followed by a soft sigh of pleasure...
"Uh..."
Two minutes later, Li Haochen lay awkwardly on Murong Yanran, not daring to look at her.
On the contrary, Murong Yanran began to comfort him, "It's okay, you were just too nervous. Online, they say it's like this for the first time, some don't even last that long..."
Murong Yanran's comfort eased Li Haochen's anxiety slightly, but he still felt a sense of unease, his mind racing with thoughts. It shouldn't be like this, how could it be...? oγg
Although the brief moment of pain ended quickly, it also marked a transformation. Murong Yanran nestled contentedly against Li Haochen's chest.
They didn't speak, just quietly feeling each other's heartbeats. Before they knew it, they had fallen asleep in each other's arms.
Morning!
They woke up and looked at each other. Heat spread, their eyes quickly became hazy, and Li Haochen's little arousal stood tall and imposing.
Murong Yanran experienced a brief moment of discomfort, which quickly gave way to a serene expression as she began to sing.
After half an hour, Li Haochen no longer showed any signs of the previous night's fatigue, like a triumphant general returning from a great victory, full of might!
Murong Yanran gave Li Haochen a dismissive look, pulled back the covers, and started looking for the small items that had flown who-knows-where. Her perfect back made Li Haochen's desire rekindle.
This reminded him of the saying, "The early bird catches the worm!"
Li Haochen didn't proceed further. He knew that Murong Yanran wasn't suitable for more strenuous activity at the moment; she needed to recover.
After getting dressed, Murong Yanran looked at the plum blossom on the bedsheet and leaned happily on Li Haochen's shoulder.
"Do you think I might be pregnant?"
"If I get pregnant... you..." Murong Yanran pursed her lips, somewhat expecting Li Haochen's reply.
"If you get pregnant, I'll work hard to earn money for milk powder. How many children do you think we should have? The country has opened up..."
"Stop, how many more? I don't want that."
At this moment, Murong Yanran was very happy, jumping up like a little girl. "Ouch!"
Her legs gave way, and she fell into Li Haochen's arms. "What's wrong?"
"It's all because of you!" Murong Yanran glared at Li Haochen and said coquettishly, "Hurry and help me to the bathroom."
"Alright, wifey, take it slow!"
After they washed up and came downstairs, Xie Baolian had already returned to work. However, a sumptuous breakfast had been left on the dining table.
On this day, Murong Yanran didn't go back to work. She wasn't in the right condition. Li Haochen stayed home to accompany her the entire time, pampering Murong Yanran to the heavens.
