Qi Chengzhi"s slender fingers picked one out. The more he looked at them, the more intrigued he became. “Why didn"t I notice all these things last time?”
Song You wanted to tell him that he did not notice all that because his attention was focused too much on Jian Yi..
Qi Chengzhi took out a small princess gown that amounted to no more than the size of an A4 paper. It was like the kinds of clothes that were given to toy dolls to wear. He compared it to Song Yu"s body and said, “I remember this dress. I"ve seen you wear it when you were young.”
“…” She herself did not remember it at all.
Song Yu felt shy. She felt a bit embarra.s.sed and awkward to think about the fact that he saw her through her younger days.
Little kids did not care much for appearances. In her youthful naivete, she would surely have dirtied herself on occasion when she played. She also remembered how she used to dig her nose in front of others. Qi Chengzhi has seen all her other unmannerly actions.
“You still remember how I looked like when I was younger?” Song Yu could not resist asking.
Qi Chengzhi turned around and looked at her gleefully. “You were a wild little girl when you were small. You wore your potty-training pants and ran around the house. I still remember you dragging me to accompany you when you pee, and then…”
Song Yu covered his mouth immediately to stop him from saying anything further. She could not remember most of the things that he said, but she never suspected him of lying to her. She simply felt that she was unruly during her younger days and did not let him remember all that. He was probably going to just poke fun at her.
She cared about him a lot, and with that, she paid special attention to her image. She wanted to be eternally perfect in his eyes, just like how Qi Chengzhi was always elegant in hers. Even at home when they were alone in the bedroom, he could wear house clothes or pajamas and still had a unique character even when there was nothing special about those clothes.
There were a few times Song Yu had mischievous thoughts of wanting to do some online shopping and buy some of those best-selling, cheap, and made-for-the-ma.s.ses pajamas for him to wear. She was curious about how he would look in them.
“What naughty ideas do you have now?” Qi Chengzhi c.o.c.ked a brow and smiled. He was wondering what Song Yu was thinking of when she looked at him and let out a slight small smile.
“Nothing.” Song Yu s.h.i.+fted her attention immediately onto the case and dug up her uniform from Jixia High School. “This is the last one I wore before I changed schools when I was seventeen—I"ve thrown away the rest.”
Qi Chengzhi took the uniform and felt the soft fabric with his slender fingers. It was the first time he touched Song Yu"s uniform. During her school days where she used to wear her uniform to school, he had never even touched her hand and simply looked at her from afar.
Holding her uniform felt like something of a wish come true.
Song Yu looked on as his long fingers slid through the uniform and felt as though he did it rather suggestively. Blus.h.i.+ng, she tried grabbing the uniform back, but Qi Chengzhi caught her hand and pulled her into his embrace.
“How about trying it on and seeing if it fits?” Qi Chengzhi"s heart seemed to be itching as his thin, warm lips touched her ears.
“It"s surely dirty after being kept for so long. It needs a wash when we go home before I can wear it.” Song Yu pushed Qi Chengzhi away but he was reluctant to let go of her. The hand that was pressing her from behind started caressing and ma.s.saging her back slowly.
She looked up and saw Qi Chengzhi"s handsome face near hers. Even though he was leaning close to her, his facial features still looked as handsome as ever regardless of which angle she looked at.
Song Yu felt emotional and decided to kiss his stubbly chin spontaneously. Qi Chengzhi"s expression changed drastically into one that was ravenous, and he was on the verge of just pinning her down. Song Yu said hurriedly, “Quick, time to go out.”
Qi Chengzhi"s eyes were fixed on her face, causing her face to feel hot. He then leaned over and hauled Song Yu into his arms to give her an unrestrained kiss.
He could not hug her like that when Song Yu was pregnant as it was not good for her stomach. Since he could then hugged her like that, he made sure to do so as tightly as he could.
Placing her onto his lap and hugging her tender body in her arms was nothing short of satisfying.
He kept her that way and caressed her before letting go. Being the first to stand up, he noticed that Song Yu remained motionless with her reddened face. She looked absolutely helpless and very adorable.
“Didn"t you say you wanted to go out?” Qi Chengzhi c.o.c.ked a brow and stared puzzlingly at her.
Song Yu blushed and stretched out her hand to him. “My knees are weak from your kiss.”
Qi Chengzhi was incredibly amused by her words. His lips could not resist curling up, and even those deeply enigmatic eyes emitted a gentle warmth with his curled brows.
Wordlessly, Song Yu felt extra bashful because his kisses made her so subservient. It was quite embarra.s.sing for her indeed.
He was smiling so smugly, but he looked handsome even though he was smug. She turned even shyer.
At that point, Qi Chengzhi stretched out his hand and said in his rich voice, “I"ll pull you up.”
Song Yu protested slightly by shooting him a glance before accepting his open palm. He did not let go of her hand even after pulling her up.
When they walked to the door, Song Yu said suddenly, “Hold up.”
She ran back and took a few clothes from the case without looking, then zipped it back up and told Qi Chengzhi to put it back into the wardrobe. Only after that did she and Qi Chengzhi come out of the bedroom.
It just so happened that Yu Qianying was walking to the dining hall while bringing out a plate of lettuce cooked in a sesame-peanut sauce. She saw the couple just as they left the room.
Noticing a mess of clothes on Song Yu"s hand, she spotted Song Yu"s uniform from Jixia High School hidden underneath the bundle of clothes.
Realizing that those clothes looked really familiar, Yu Qianying recognized it after a few extra glances. “Why did you take out all your childhood clothes?”
“…” Song Yu stalled for a moment before cooking up a reason. “Isn"t it a good thing if kids wear clothes that have been worn by others? Used clothes aren"t harsh on the skin. I"ll bring these back and have them altered for Youjin to wear.”
Yu Qianying believed her—albeit not entirely—and asked no further questions. “Time to eat. You can tidy everything after we eat.”
“We"ve already taken it out.” Song Yu shoved the clothes into her bag as fast as she could. If her parents saw her take out her uniform, who knows what they would think of it.
There was a seven-day holiday for Chinese New Year and all of Jixia"s students had their winter break. No one was at school except for a few teachers who worked on s.h.i.+ft. Other than that, various student groups might come for some of the events from time to time.
A black Range Rover parked directly at the foot of the tallest building. The princ.i.p.al"s office was located right at the very top. Jixia High School"s Director of Education waited for Qi Chengzhi there, opening the car door for him immediately after seeing him. “Young Master Cheng!”
Director Yan was the Director of Education back when Qi Chengzhi was still the headmaster. When Qi Chengzhi went to Qilin, the position of headmaster became vacant. The initial plan was to let Qi Chengji a.s.sume the position once he left the army, but no one expected him to stay with them ever since he joined the troops. The post remained vacant with Director Yan holding two posts.
Nevertheless, Director Yan was not the headmaster per se, so he still continued to do work in Director of Education"s office. The headmaster"s office remained empty after Qi Chengzhi left. Aside from the occasional cleaning, no one else used the room.
Director Yan received a call from Qi Chengzhi before the Spring Festival began. Qi Chengzhi recounted how he missed his days as headmaster in Jixia High School and wanted to take the opportunity to visit during the holidays. That way, he would not disturb the teaching staff and the students.
Although Director Yan found it quite odd, he did not ask too much. The entire building was empty except for him since he came over just for Qi Chengzhi. As for the teachers who were on s.h.i.+ft, they remained at their respective departments.
The entire building was empty, and Director Yan warmly welcomed Qi Chengzhi from the Range Rover. Qi Chengzhi came down and smiled. He had a gentle expression when giving Director Yan a nod, making the latter feel overwhelmed.
“You don"t need to accompany me around. I"m familiar with the place and I just want to take a stroll by myself,” Qi Chengzhi said plainly. His black eyes gazed upward to the window of the princ.i.p.al"s office and lingered there. He smiled faintly and s.h.i.+fted his gaze away. “It"s the new year. You should go ahead with your business.”
Director Yan did not dare to get too cozy with Qi Chengzhi. Just looking at Qi Chengzhi"s stern face reminded him of how direct and no-nonsense Qi Chengzhi was as headmaster.
He pa.s.sed to Qi Chengzhi the keys to the headmaster"s office and promptly left.
After Director Yan left, he looked down at the keys. He recalled something that made him smile and began walking to the building with the keys in his hand.
As he walked into the headmaster"s office, everything looked exactly like how he left it all those years ago. The only difference was the absence of all those doc.u.ments.
He reminisced by looking at and touching everything inside the office. Then, he took his seat on the chair behind the desk. His posture was rather upright, and his dark pupils gazed warmly at the door. A small smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Having brought his laptop with him, he took it out, placed it on the table, and switched it on. He perused the stock market briefly, but since his mind was not focused there, he was eventually staring blankly at the screen.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Qi Chengzhi"s eyes lit up and his posture became even more upright. His slender, handsome fingers straightened his tie before he cleared his throat and replied. “Come in.”
His voice might be rich and tranquil, but his heart was nearly about to jump out of his chest. His eyes were fixed onto the door as it slowly began to swing open.
The door slowly swung open, and there stood Song Yu wearing Jixia High School"s uniform. She looked at the floor and stood there looking guilty.
Jixia"s uniform bore some resemblance to the uniform worn by schoolgirls during the Republic of China era. On Song Yu, however, they looked exceptionally graceful and subdued. Qi Chengzhi was absent-minded as he felt like he had been transported to when she was still seventeen.
Qi Chengzhi could not help but gulp. Seeing her looking so attractive in his uniform, he felt like he could not calm himself down as he used to all those years ago.
With her fair-skinned body clad in that uniform, she looked like the purest of virgins.
His long fingers loosened up his tie smoothly and he gulped once again. Following that he crooned in the s.e.xiest of voices, “Aren"t you coming in?”
Song Yu looked down and grabbed her dress guiltily. Her hands became cold unwittingly and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
She kept her head low and closed the door as she came in. Standing in front of the work desk, QI Chengzhi"s gaze made her feel so nervous that she couldn"t say a single word.
His vision did not waver after he locked eyes on her body. He looked at her from head to toe, and without moving, he said huskily, “Come here.”
Song Yu felt her throat turn sore. She gulped and said weakly, “In what capacity are you saying that?”
Qi Chengzhi c.o.c.ked a brow and said, half-smiling, “Headmaster?”
“If you"re saying that in the capacity of a headmaster, I"ll tell you that I"m still a student. It"s not proper.” Song Yu remarked softly, “At this age, I"m still a senior high school student.”
Qi Chengzhi smiled and stood up suddenly. His lanky figure was separated from her by only a table, and the pressure was beginning to mount.
Next, he went around the table and walked over to her. Song Yu did not even have the time to turn and face him when he trapped her in his embrace. His strong arms were placed on the table on either side of her, thereby holding her captive.
Song Yu"s breathing became coa.r.s.er and coa.r.s.er. She could feel him slowly coming into contact with her back, and even his rod below became stiffer by the second.
Even before she could turn around, she felt his face leaning ever closely onto her. His breathing became closer and closer, and his scalding-hot breaths brushed against her ears as well as her cheek and corner of her lip. She could feel his movements near her face without even looking at him.
Song Yu"s nervousness resulted in her labored breathing, and even the sounds of her breaths were becoming heavier and heavier.
Finally, she felt his thin lips touch her earlobe, after which he let out his ever-burning breaths all over her ears. She could hear his husky voice come in waves as they entered her ear, “When I was the headmaster last time, my biggest wish was to keep you hidden for myself.”
Silently, Song Yu trembled inadvertently. The bang in her brain made it feel like her brain was exploding. When she recalled the few past occasions where they interacted with each other, his expressions as well as the looks he gave her all seemed to contain a deeper layer of meaning behind them.
All of a sudden, Qi Chengzhi turned her around so she was facing him. His hands were placed on her waist as he lifted her up onto the table. Qi Chengzhi advanced forward, intending to take full advantage of her. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her at the same time. Song Yu felt herself being pressed firmly into his stomach since he hugged her rather tightly.
Qi Chengzhi kissed her fervently before relaxing his grip on her slowly. His lips still remained touching against hers, and gradually, they began traveling to the corners of her lips. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and extremely s.e.xy, as though it had a magnetic quality that was capable of sucking her soul.
“Miss Song, would you like to follow the headmaster home?” Qi Chengzhi asked hoa.r.s.ely. “There are a few things I"d like to discuss with you in private.”
“…” Song Yu"s face was very red. Those words he said seemed so serious that she really felt as though she went back to when she was still seventeen.
Knowing full well that Qi Chengzhi would not have said all those things in the past, Song Yu still could not resist putting herself in that moment of time. She wondered how she would react in the past if Qi Chengzhi hugged her and said all those naughty things to her when she entered into his office.
“Headmaster and student… This isn"t right…” Song Yu played along with him too. Her then-character was half-genuine and half-feigned. When she spoke, her lips rubbed against his, causing her to feel a yearning in her heart. She wanted to kiss him properly.
“Do you like me?” QI Chengzhi sucked on her upper lip and asked in his husky voice.
“…” Song Yu"s face was red-hot, and even her lips were trembling after he came into contact with her. Still shaking, she eventually managed to let out a tiny squeak, “Yeah.”
“Really? How much do you like me?” Qi Chengzhi was so pleased that it showed in his eyes—they lit up very brightly.
“I can"t help but look at you every day. I suffer if I don"t see you and when I do see you, I feel really happy. I can"t resist eyeing you from afar, and I can"t move my eyes once I look at you. My mood changes with each action that you do, and I really wanted you to notice me. My biggest dream is to marry you, and from the first time we met, I wanted to be your wife,” Song Yu said softly. She stood there with the mindset from when she was seventeen, for she wished so dearly that she could meet him sooner and replenish all the times they could have had together.
Back then he was the one who always looked at her from afar, noticing her each and every move. If Song Yu knew everything earlier, she would have paid more attention to him.
Qi Chengzhi carried her up all of a sudden and kissed her pa.s.sionately. Song Yu felt as though he was going to make her burst in flames from those kisses. Sometime later, he placed her back down and led her out of the room.
“Where are we going?” Song Yu followed behind him.
“Home. My bed.” Qi Chengzhi"s voice sounded exceptionally tense. He pulled Song Yu immediately into the elevator.
As soon as Song Yu"s head landed in his chest, the elevator door closed shut behind her. She could feel the intense heat coming from his chest, while her waist was wrapped around firmly in his arms.
Song Yu looked up and looked into the fire burning within his eyes. She shuddered and asked, “What do you mean going home? I"m only seventeen, aren"t I? You"re the headmaster.”
Qi Chengzhi c.o.c.ked his brows. He twitched his lips due to the sudden tenseness that he felt. That brief tensed-up smile completely bedazzled Song Yu, causing her to teeter on the edge of being a love-struck fool.
“The unethical headmaster brings his girl students home.” Qi Chengzhi hoisted her and pressed her onto the wall before kissing her forcefully. While still pressed to her lips, he said hoa.r.s.ely, “I got hard just from seeing you at the door dressed like this. I could still keep it in back then, but now I can"t do it anymore. I really salute my former self for being able to keep calm last time.”
Song Yu inhaled sharply. Her lips were half-open and her chest was puffing up excitedly. Although she knew that he was struggling to contain himself, his oftentimes blatant expressing of those shameless intentions affected Song Yu to the point where her heartbeat quickened.
When the elevator reached the ground floor, Qi Chengzhi set Song Yu back on the ground and brought her out.
Although Qi Chengzhi told Director Yan that the latter"s company was not required and he could mind his own business, Director Yan still waited at the ground floor just in case Qi Chengzhi needed something and had no one else to call.
Hearing the noise from the elevator, Director Yan looked over. The ensuing sight made him open his eyes wide in disbelief. He was looking at Qi Chengzhi walking over with a girl student clad in Jixia"s uniform.
Qi Chengzhi took great strides, and the student was lowering her head. Her reddened cheeks could be seen slightly, but her face was unclear.
From looks alone, she looked like a student from Jixia High School. Why would she be wearing the school uniform if she was not?
Director Yan looked on with his mouth agape as Qi Chengzhi ushered the student into his car before getting on it himself. They did not seem to notice that Director Yan was still there and that black Range Rover soon disappeared from his eyes.
By that point, Director Yan was stunned silly. "Isn"t Qi Chengzhi married? He has a son, doesn"t he? Why is he with a girl student all of a sudden…"
Judging from how Qi Chengzhi and the student looked, there was an electrifying suggestiveness lingering in the air despite their largely unintimate actions. Dissatisfaction was so obvious on Qi Chengzhi"s face that only a blind person would fail to notice that something was going on between him and the student.
