you are my joy

After having dinner at the Lu family's old house at noon, Fang Yixuan and Mrs. Zhu arranged to play cards.

There is an extra Mrs. Xia today, and there is exactly one more person playing cards.

Mrs. Yun actually didn't like playing cards, so she took the initiative to be a substitute and gave up her position to Mrs. Xia.

The sound of winning cards could be heard from time to time in the living room, which was very lively.

Ning Yuxi and Jian Ximan hadn't seen each other for a long time and were sitting on the sofa chatting.

The temperature in the room was high, so Jian Ximan wore a turtleneck dark blue sweater. As time went by, she felt a little hot, and dense beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Jian Ximan gently tugged on her collar, pulled a piece of paper to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and then continued chatting with them as if nothing had happened.

Ning Yuxi noticed her little movements and asked softly:

"hot?"

Jian Ximan's face flushed with heat, but she still said stubbornly:

"good."

Ning Yuxi could tell at a glance that she was trying to hold on and was about to stand up.

"The heating in the house is sufficient. You will definitely get hot wearing a turtleneck. Come upstairs with me and change some clothes."

Jian Ximan quickly grabbed her hand, her eyes revealing some guilt.

"No... no need, I really don't feel that hot."

Ning Yuxi caught the guilty look on her face, narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly approached Jian Xman, looking her up and down.

"Really? Then why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"

Ning Yuxi's eyes seemed to be able to see through her. Jian Xman felt increasingly guilty and laughed dryly.

"Yes... yes? No."

"There's none"

Ning Yuxi glanced at her meaningfully, her gaze dropped, and she suddenly pulled open Jian Ximan's collar.

"Xixi!"

Jian Ximan's expression changed, and she immediately protected her collar, with two blushes creeping up quietly.

Ning Yu'an didn't think it was anything at first, but when she saw Jian Ximan's shy expression and her sister's playful smile, she immediately came forward with a gossipy look on her face.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Sister, why are you looking like this? Did you see something?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhiqin also glanced at Jian Ximan and watched the show silently.

Ning Yuxi smiled teasingly and her eyes kept wandering on Jian Ximan's neck.

"You might as well ask your sister Manman what she did."

Jian Ximan clutched her collar tightly, looking very unnatural.

"What did I do? You saw it wrong!"

Ning Yuxi chuckled, "I didn't even tell you what you did, how do you know what I saw?"

Jian Ximan choked, and the blush on her cheeks deepened.

Ning Yu'an looked at Ning Yuxi and then at Jian Xman, really curious.

"What did you see? Sister Manman, why are you protecting your neck? Aren't you hot?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized, and there was a bit of ambiguous teasing in her eyes when she looked at Jian Ximan.

"Oh ~ Sister Manman, did you last night..."

"I'm not! I didn't!" Jian Ximan interrupted Ning Yu'an before she could finish her words.

The smile on Ning Yuan's face became even brighter.

"I haven't said anything yet. Why are you feeling guilty?"

Jian Ximan pursed her lips tightly, her face as red as a cooked shrimp.

Ning Yuxi chuckled and took her hand off her collar.

"You are usually a seasoned driver, but you are shy when it comes to your own affairs? Okay, don't hide it. If it is true, we will only be happy for you."

Jian Ximan hesitated for a few seconds and let go uncomfortably. Wanting to pretend to be cool, I raised my eyes and met three pairs of eyes. The courage I mustered up suddenly gave way, and I spoke stumblingly.

"Ahem...just...just as you guessed."

Ning Yuxi deliberately asked, "What kind?"

"Just... fell asleep." The last two words were spoken so quietly that they were almost drowned out by the sounds in the living room.

But Ning Yu'an was so close that he could naturally hear it, and he almost jumped up in excitement.

"Really!? Sister Manman, please tell me how it happened? Don't you reject Zhu Kunjing?"

Jian Ximan blushed and knocked on Ning Yuan's head.

"Little girl! How old are you! Do you know that children can't pry into adults' affairs!"

Ning Yuan sighed and sat on the coffee table opposite Jian Ximan, placing her hands on Jian Ximan's side.

"Sister Manman, please stop fooling me with such remarks. I have much more experience than you. Speak quickly! Otherwise, I won't let you go home today!"

Although Ning Yuxi and Qiao Zhiqin didn't make a sound to urge, their direct gazes were more silent than loud.

Jian Ximan: "Oh! That's okay! I said it's not okay yet!"

When Qiao Zhiqin heard this, she immediately lay on Ning Yuxi's shoulder and looked at her eagerly, for fear of missing any gossip.

Jian Ximan organized her words and spoke in a low voice.

"Last night the two of us had hot pot in my apartment, drank some wine, and that was... like that."

"In a dimly lit room, with an ambiguous atmosphere, two slightly tipsy people secretly fell in love with each other under the influence of alcohol, and their desires were raging, until they got out of hand!

In the morning, you woke up in his arms, he held your waist tightly, kissed you sweetly under the quilt, and even had another passionate fire. "

Ning Yu'an described it with emotion, and the scene from last night suddenly appeared in Jian Ximan's mind, and her face was so hot that she was almost smoking.

Worried that Ning Yuan would continue to say something indescribable, she quickly grabbed the pears on the coffee table and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Okay! If you are so good at talking, why don't you write a novel!"

Ning Yu'an took a bite of the pear from her mouth and smiled ambiguously.

"I'm telling you, why are you blushing? Could it be... I guessed it right!"

Jian XiMan became angry and said, "Shut up, Ning Yu'an! I can't stop your mouth even if you eat!"

"I guessed it right! Sister! I really...uhhhhh..."

Ning Yuan was whispering to Ning Yuxi when Jian Xman covered her mouth and pushed her into the sofa.

Ning Yuxi and Qiao Zhiqin smiled and watched the two of them playing around.

After they had enough fighting, Ning Yuxi spoke.

"Didn't you feel anything else last night?"

They were actually more concerned about her condition than private matters.

Does being able to completely accept Zhu Xingjing mean that her illness has improved?

Jian Ximan took a deep breath and showed a relieved smile.

"Actually, last night was more like I had planned it for a long time. I deliberately drank more wine and wanted to give it a try.

As a result, you have also seen that I have let go of those things in the past. "

Having witnessed Ning Yuxi and Qiao Zhiqin's happiness with my own eyes, I would be lying if I said I wasn't envious.

Whenever she saw them pairing up like ordinary couples, hugging and kissing, but Zhu Chongjing could only treat her cautiously, and even asked her if she would feel uncomfortable when holding hands, she felt sad in her heart. Very unpleasant.

In this relationship, Zhu Chongjing has always been the one who gives in.

Although he usually behaved indifferently, occasionally she could still catch his unconcealed desires.
