Chapter 5. You’re Looking at Me

Chen Du looked up at her. She was eating okra very well. She moved her mouth very little. She sat upright with her eyelids drooping and looked quiet and decent. No one would believe she was under the table rubbing her brother’s crotch.

“How long is your school closed for National Day?”Chen Jinnan asked.

Chen Jiashu didn’t answer, and Chen Du, trying to ignore the situation in his lower body, choked on his breath and said, “Seven days.”

“Oh, is Jiashu too?”

“Mmm.”

She ate the okra and put another in the bowl, rubbing her toes back and forth over Chen Du’s groin.

“So,” Chen Jinnan looked at Wen Yun’s face, “How about staying home for a few more days? I’ll send you both back to school together after the holidays. “

Wen Yun immediately frowned, and he instantly added, “It just so happens that they are at the same school, so Jiashu usually takes care of her brother.”

Chen Du was on pins and needles.

“I want to go to the bathroom.” He gave Chen Jiashu a look that implied a warning.

Chen Jiashu’s toes curled up and slid from the thigh to the middle, flicking at both of his s*cs.

“Sure, go ahead and let the waiter point you in the right direction if you can’t find it.” Wen Yun said.

Chen Du took a deep breath and jerked to his feet, turning around and heading out the door.

Chen Jiashu instantly retracted her leg. As he walked out of the box, she tilted her head slightly, her two legs naturally fell together, sitting nicely. A pair of fine white ankles quietly and instinctively moved back in her shoes.

Chen Du turned his head and walked away.

After he had been gone for almost a minute, Chen Jiashu finished the last chicken claw in her bowl, put down her chopsticks to clean her mouth, and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

On the way to the washroom, Chen Du sent her a WeChat message: “Don’t overdo it.”

She unwrapped a piece of gum to put in her mouth and replied, “Oh, you’re on fire again?”

“What if your parents find out about you doing this?”

Chen Jiashu was fine with it, “I’m the one who’s going to get killed over you anyway, so don’t worry about it.”

“Why?”

Why? Because you’re their pride and joy in this world. Of course, they won’t touch you.

Chen Jiashu was annoyed: “What’s the reason for you thinking about life while you’re masturbating?”

Chen Du frowned and clarified, “I’m not masturbating.”

“So you’re just up like that?”

Chen Du replied after a while, “It’s almost down.”

Chen Jiashu raised her eyebrows. “Really? Let me check.”

“Hello, the washroom is just ahead on the right. Watch out for slippery ground under your feet.” The attendant next to her reminded.

“Well, thanks.” She looked up at the sign hanging in front of her, threw the gum-spattered wrapper into the bin on the wall, and turned the corner to go in.

Chen Du was so shocked by her that he got up again immediately after he had gone down so easily, “Where are you?”

“The toilet.”

His expression froze, and he looked around, glancing around with a tight face. He had a hint of anticipation he hadn’t even noticed himself, and he looked behind him again, but the doorway corridor was empty.

“Didn’t see you.”

“Nonsense, I’m in the ladies’ room.”

Chen Du exhaled heavily and pulled the handle up to go out. Chen Jiashu was at the sink, tying her hair in front of the mirror.

Her hands were tied behind her head, and when she saw Chen Du come out, she lifted her chin towards him in the mirror and said, “It’s taken you long enough.”

Chen Du was displeased by the way she was so calm and playful. He didn’t respond but stood next to her at the sink. He turned on the tap and didn’t say a word.

Chen Jiashu didn’t say anything else. After tying her hair and straightening her dress, her hands went into the neckline to adjust the straps of her underwear, which she didn’t like to wear because it strangled her to the point of suffocation.

She pulled back the collar of her dress, lifted the strap that had slipped up her arm back to her shoulder. She drew a tissue to remove the sweat from her face, and in front of Chen Du, she flashed her two nipples.

Chen Du didn’t react. His hands were washed under the tap again and again. He was still standing in front of the sink.

Chen Jiashu threw the paper towel into the bin and gave him a look before shrugging it off and walking away.

“Chen Jiashu.”

She had walked to the door when Chen Du called out to her from behind her.

She stood with her back to him, listening to what he wanted to say.

“Are you too lonely?” Chen Du asked.

Chen Jiashu froze: “…”

She pursed her lips, but finally just gave a soft smile and said, “If you say so, so be it.” She lifted her feet and walked away.

Chen Du turned off the tap, propped both hands on the sink, and lowered his head in serious thought.

He didn’t know that the word “lonely” also had the sarcastic meaning of a person who was a very horny and scratchy b*tch [1]. He was thinking that Chen Jiashu had lacked her father’s love since she was a child, and later even lost her mother’s love as well. Although she was always cold and not talkative, she was actually very lonely.

He thought about it for a long time and felt sorry for her. Their parents had ignored her, and he had fallen in love with her.

Back at the box, Chen Jinnan was holding a bottle of wine and was torn with Wen Yun about whether to open it or not. After all, he drove the car.

“What kind of festival do you celebrate if you don’t drink on New Year’s Eve? You came to the hotel just to eat?”

Wen Yunla took the bottle opener from the waiter and said, “Just call a chauffeur later. Give me the wine, I’ll open it.”

Chen Jinnan put the red wine on the table. Wen Yun got up and uncorked the bottle, then poured a glass for herself and her husband. Chen Jinnan then simply asked Chen Jiashu if she wanted to try it too. She nodded and said yes.

“Thank you.” Chen Jiashu said as she took the glass of wine.

So only Chen Du’s glass was left empty on the table. He looked up at Chen Jiashu and Wen Yun thought he was staring at her glass and said seriously, “Don’t follow suit. Good students are not allowed to drink. Alcohol is bad for the brain.”

She seemed oblivious to the explicit targeting and attack in her words and beckoned the waiter to pour Chen Du a cup of hot cow’s milk.

 “Thanks.”

Chen Du’s eyes crossed the milky white glass filled with cow’s milk, and he stealthily glanced at Chen Jiashu on the opposite side.

Her expression was the same as usual, seemingly unaffected by the words she had just heard. She tilted her head and downed most of her glass of red wine in one gulp. Her white, slender neck rose and fell. A drop of wine slid down the graceful line of her neck and was casually wiped away by her raised hand.

There was still more than half a glass of wine left, which she used in a false family clink five minutes later. Chen Du didn’t pay attention to the auspicious words of congratulations. He only remembered Chen Jiashu’s slightly flushed face, so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off of it.

Chen Jiashu was so drunk that she walked slightly swaying. He was taken aback. Just a single glass of wine made her look like this. Chen Du was afraid that she would fall and went over to help her, but she raised her hand and waved it away.

“There’s a bump ahead. Watch your step. ” He stood guard a step away from her.

“Stay away from me,” Chen Jiashu hesitated and lifted her foot over the bump. “Your mother will see it and say I’m bringing down good students again.”

“I’m not a good student.” Chen Du pursed his lips.

Chen Jiashu turned her head to look at him. Her face was very red, her body smelled good, and he was lost in a pair of bright cat eyes. Chen Du didn’t dare look at her. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist kissing her.

Calling a chauffeur, Wen Yun sat in the passenger seat while Chen Jinnan and the two children sat in the back seat. Although he was the age of a child, Chen Du’s figure had already surpassed that of many adults, and he was sitting in the middle. Chen Jinnan was on his left and Chen Jiashu, the smallest, was on his right.

The three of them were crammed into the back seat, with Chen Jiashu and Chen Du sitting impermeably next to each other, one leg leaning against the other.

Chen Jiashu was wearing a knee-length dress and Chen Du was wearing a casual five-piece suit, but he was not prevented from feeling the warmth of Chen Jiashu’s tender skin. He remembered how he opened her legs and left a long, wet kiss on her small p*ssy just this afternoon.

Chen Jiashu messaged him, “Ever heard of car tremors?”

He glanced at it and turned it off hastily.

He turned down the brightness of his phone screen and sent back to her, “Sit still and don’t move.” After sending it, he turned his head and looked at her.

His eyes were cold and serious, like a harsh knife. The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed. The invisible pressure of his gaze forced Chen Jia Shu to settle down.

Her brother was still a year younger and yet still, he provoked a slight fear. Such a Chen Du made her feel strange.

She looked at Chen Du with a dull red face, her lips moist and bright, opening and closing gently, “Chen Du.”

“Hm?” The knot in his throat twitched slightly as he looked down at her.

She leaned over and nuzzled his ear. His ears were filled with the warm scent of her mixed with alcohol.

“I’m wet from your eyes,” she said.
