Content Summary: Let's Go On A Honeymoon Of Our Own

Chapter 44

Seeing that he was still in the mood to play such a joke on her, Shi Yun wasn’t clear on what happened that day, but she felt that it couldn’t have been that serious.

His apartment wasn’t as tidy as it looked the previous two times. There were several Gundams on the floor, and a half-assembled one was placed on his coffee table.

Shi Yun kept feeling that something was missing, and then discovered that the TV Wei Congying usually played his games on was missing.

Wei Congying tidied up the sofa a little and had Shi Yun sit down.

Today’s meal did not need to be heated, so Wei Congying looked for a pair of clean chopsticks in the cupboard.

Coming out of the kitchen, Shi Yun wasn’t sitting on the sofa, but sat on the carpet with her back against the sofa, assembling his half-finished Gundam model.

Shi Yun discovered that this model was the one she had helped Wei Congying polish the hard edges of when she’d first visited Wei Congying’s apartment last year. Why did he take it apart only to put it together again?

It was something that made him angry, and now that she brought it up again, he was still a bit unhappy. He reached into his trouser pocket to take out a cigarette, bit the cigarette butt, and felt around in his pocket, but there was no lighter.

He caught a glimpse of one on the coffee table and leaned forward to reach for it, but the lighter was out of gas. He tried several times but no flame came out.

In the end, he could only hold the cigarette in his mouth, biting the yellow filter with his teeth. He leaned back in the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.

He was very upset.

“I had a fight with my dad.” Wei Congying took the cigarette away from his mouth and put it behind his ear.

There was no need to ask the reason for the quarrel, it must have been about his step-sister.

Or about the day they gave his step-sister attitude in Haiyue and played a trick on her. Shi Yun was also there when grandma came to make her case, but grandma failed in the end.

Later, Wei Mingcheng looked for Wei Congying for several days, but he neither answered the phone nor opened the door.

It happened that he was also in Haiyue that day, and if he ran into his son face to face, he would definitely give him a lesson.

He said they were siblings and he was the older brother, so how could he treat his sister like that and not consider her feelings at all.

Wei Congying thought it was ridiculous. It was uncultured of him to make up stories and slander others, but Wei Mingcheng had no right to lecture him: “Did you consider my mother’s feelings when you cheated on her?”

Originally, it was just a quarrel, but in the end, Wei Congying responded with a harsh remark without thinking: “You’d better keep a close eye on her. If she crosses paths with me again, I have plenty of idle scoundrels for friends. This time it’s just a verbal warning, but can you guess what I’ll do next time?”

Of course, he would never do such a thing. He said it purely out of anger at Wei Mingcheng. At the end of his words, his head turned. Wei Congying was startled and it took him a long time to realize that he had been slapped.

The scene of a loving father and a filial son was then played out. Wei Congying relied on his youth to fight back with much more strength than Wei Mingcheng. In the end, it was the Haiyue staff and his father’s driver who came over and controlled the situation.

The driver took Wei Mingcheng back to his car. Lin Fanggang, who hadn’t reacted fast enough came out and saw this. He immediately stuffed Wei Congying, who had hit someone, into the car and asked him to calm down.

After calming down for ten minutes, he lost all the calm when he saw Wei Mingcheng’s car leaving, so he stepped on the accelerator and crashed into it.

One step on the accelerator and seven figures were wasted.

No one in the car was hurt. The car was towed away by the insurance company and Wei Congying was sent back by Lin Fang. After he returned to his apartment, he smashed the TV and pushed over the shelf where the Gundams were placed.

In the end, he not only had to compensate his neighbors for disturbing them, but he also had to put the Gundam back together again.

After lightly glossing over the events of the past few days, Wei Congying put the cigarette to his lips again and made to stand up.

If he didn’t have a lighter, he could just light it over the gas stove.

As soon as he stood up, Shi Yun used the arms that were resting on her legs to push herself up, and she knelt on the sofa, got up and sat on Wei Congying’s legs, reaching out to take the cigarette from his mouth.

Wei Congying refused to give it up and clenched his teeth.

Shi Yun cheated and tickled his waist with her fingers. Wei Congying grunted from feeling ticklish, and she finally took away the cigarette.

He grabbed Shi Yun’s hand and clicked his tongue: “Give me the cigarette. I’m pissed just recalling it. I’m going to have a cigarette to calm down.”

Shi Yun didn’t give it to him. She pulled down her collar, then put the cigarette with teeth marks between her skin and clamped it: “But I can’t let you calm down?”

As she spoke, he held picked her up by the waist. His broad shoulders pressed against her abdomen, and he cursed and carried her into the bedroom.

–

The sky was gloomy when she arrived, but it finally started to rain. It was a little after three o’clock, but the sky was dark as if it was six or seven in the evening.

Looking out the window from the bed, the rooftops of the tall buildings nearby seemed as if they would break through the gloomy dark clouds.

Shi Yun was lying on the bed, feeling the same. She was breathing heavily. When the thunderstorm started, the power in the apartment tripped. Although it was restored very quickly, the air conditioner did not turn on automatically. The temperture was rising steadily, and she was sweating.

The rain falling from the dark clouds seemed to pass through layers of concrete ceiling and land on her.

The ceiling wasn’t dripping, but she could clearly feel water drops falling on her collarbone.

She retracted her unfocused gaze and focused it on Wei Congying’s face, watching the sweat from his temples flowing down his cheeks.

He muttered some vulgar words and then turned Shi Yun over.

Shi Yun turned her head and continued to look out the window. From a different angle, the tall building no longer seemed to pierce the sky, but rather like a pillar, struggling to hold up the sky.

But the sky seemed to have fallen down; her body felt very heavy.

A wet, hot embrace held her, pressing her into the fabric. The hand that had massaged the back of her neck passed under her armpit and pinched her jaw.

He ordered her to call out.

She could only call out his name, intermittently, erratically…

–

Turning over and feeling a little cold, Shi Yun subconsciously pulled up the blanket covering her body, and then she heard the “beep” sound of the air conditioner temperature being adjusted.

The half of the blanket that had fallen was picked up from the edge and tucked into her side.

Shi Yun opened her eyes while half asleep and half awake, and found that she was not in the bedroom, but lying on the sofa in the living room. Facing the balcony, the gray bed sheet was gently swaying in the night wind behind the glass sliding door of the balcony.

Shi Yun closed her eyes, but did not continue to sleep. She asked him in a low voice: “What time is it?”

Wei Congying: “It’s half past eight.”

Shi Yun said “oh” and thought to herself that it was already half past eight, but she was so sleepy.

Her breathing was shallow, and just as she was about to go back to sleep, a hand pinched her cheek, forcing her to open her eyes: “What are you doing?”

After Wei Congying finished kneading, he rubbed the flesh on his cheek with his palm: “It’s already half past eight, I’ll take you home.”

“Didn’t you ask me to stay overnight? Now that you’re done having fun, you’re sending me back?”

Being woken up when sleeping was already unpleasant enough, so he deserved to be accused of being a scumbag.

Wei Congying could hear the complaint in her tone: “There’s no place to sleep. The mattress is all wet, and I just emptied a washing machine of bedding. How about we both wrap ourselves in newspapers and sleep on a park bench tonight?”

There were thin calluses on the palms of his hands, which didn’t feel very nice when rubbed against her cheeks.

From Shi Yun’s expression, he could tell she was still angry, and she rolled over in the blanket. Only then did she realize that she was dry and the clothes she was wearing were not the same clothes she wore when she came. It was loose and large, and was probably his short-sleeved.

Seeing that she was facing him with the back of her head, Wei Congying used his masculine strength to turn her over and face him.

“Okay, I won’t go back. Let’s go to the park bench with newspapers and sleep together.” Wei Congying sat down on the carpet by the sofa. With his size, he could look down at Shi Yun lying on the sofa. “It just so happens that I have never done it in public… mmph.”

Covering his mouth with her soft palm, Wei Congying saw her shy and angry look, and suddenly thought of the servants who flirted with Jia Baoyu when he was reading A Dream of Red Mansions.

It’s a pity that the lines written by Cao Xueqin at that time hadn’t come to mind at the moment, otherwise he could have teased her some more.

Shi Yun left to change her clothes. Wei Congying put the assembled Gundam back on the display stand, washed the food storage container that Shi Yun had brought at noon, dried it with towel paper, and placed it in a bag.

Shi Yun came out of the bedroom. He was already standing at the entrance putting on his shoes. His knee-length shorts revealed his calves. Shi Yun noticed the scar left from his surgery last year and thought of her grandmother’s attitude towards his grandfather’s chess playing.

But you don’t have to risk your life to play chess…

Wei Congying saw her worried look as soon as he turned around, and thought she didn’t want to leave. He stood at the entrance and looked at her: “If you don’t want to leave, stay. I was just thinking that you are leaving to travel after just going home. Maybe you’d want to spend more time with your grandparents?”

Shi Yun walked over, put on her shoes, and said quickly: “I refuse to go to the park to feed mosquitoes. Let’s go, take me back.”

Wei Congying had been to her home once, but after more than half a year, he still remembered the route and set off without turning on the navigation.

The summer night was sultry, but after the thunderstorm in the afternoon, the air had become much fresher. There were a lot of people out walking and shopping tonight.

Shi Yun didn’t know the way, so she just let him drive as he please.

There were a lot of cars on the road and he couldn’t speed up, so he had no choice but to drive slowly behind a black German car.

“Oh, right.” Wei Congying held the steering wheel with one hand, and suddenly thought of something, “How are your preparations for the graduation trip going?”

“I haven’t prepared a plan yet.” Shi Yun wanted to go to many places.

Wei Congying: “Count me in.”

Shi Yun turned her head and looked at him: “Are you going too?”

Wei Congying hummed in response and smiled: “Are you going to leave your partner alone?”

Shi Yun didn’t object to him going with her: “So is there any place you want to go?”

“I’ll accompany you, you decide.” Wei Congying looked at the road sign, changed lanes in advance, and prepared to get off the overpass.

Shi Yun was in a dilemma: “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Wei Congying was clever: “I’ll steal a copy of Jiang Xuyang and Chu Yue’s honeymoon guide, and then we can reap the benefits.”

Shi Yun reminded him: “Their’s are honeymoon guides.”

Wei Congying hummed, “So what? We’ll go on our honeymoon too.”
