Chapter 71

Shortly after the Spring National Swimming Championships was Chinese New Year.

Yun Duo combined the public holiday with some annual leave so she could stay at home for two weeks. She was happy just thinking about it. Her holidays began on Chinese New Year's Eve, the same as Tang Yi-Bai and the others.

Tang Yi-Bai's case was more tragic — including the day of the eve, he only had 3 days of leave.

Every year, the Tang family would return to City-N to pass the Chinese New Year, and this year was no exception. Yun Duo planned to go back as well, so the four people decided to travel together.

At night, Yun Duo was in her room packing her things. Girls tended to have more things to pack, and they tended to find even more things to pack the longer they packed...

Tang Yi-Bai had it easy — he was only going back for 3 days, and his hometown had everything he needed. He wasn't fussy anyhow, so he could make do. Thus, he simply took some necessities, and then he sat in his room with his door open. He held a book in his hands, looking up every so often from it to peer across the corridor.

Across his door was Yun Duo's room.

Her room door was not fully closed; Tang Yi-Bai could hear the noise of things being shifted coming from within every once in a while. He really felt like going to peek inside, but Yun Duo had already spoken: She did not need his help.

Therefore, Tang Yi-Bai could only sit inside his own room. As soon as Yun Duo opened her door, his gaze was drawn to her instantly and followed her as she moved around. Yun Duo felt that she was being teased by his gaze and could not help but speed up. When she went back into her room, she even gave him a warning look.

Tang Yi-Bai felt a little moody — it looked like she really did not welcome him.

Er-Bai slinked over and Tang Yi-Bai saw him carelessly pry Yun Duo's room door open with his head. Er-Bai then entered the room and turned around to close the door.

Before the door closed, Er-Bai made eye contact with Tang Yi-Bai.

Tang Yi-Bai: =.=

No match for a dog...

He grabbed his cell phone and sent Yun Duo a voice chat request.

Yun Duo accepted and asked, puzzled, "Is there something you can't tell me to my face? Using your phone even though we're so close."

Tang Yi-Bai said, "Come over, I want to show you something fun."

"I'm busy."

"Just for a bit."

Yun Duo was a little resistant. "Why can't you come over?"

"Ok, I'll be right there!"

Yun Duo: "..." He was just waiting for this, wasn't he?

Tang Yi-Bai appeared faster than the speed of the Flash. After he entered the room, the first thing he did was to chase Er-Bai out and the shut the door properly. Click, and lock it.

Yun Duo stared at him warily. "Why did you lock the door?" He can't be planning to do anything bad, right...?

Tang Yi-Bai coughed awkwardly. "Dog-proofing." He walked forwards to see Yun Duo folding clothes. "Can I help?"

"No need." Yun Duo paused and tilted her head to look at him. She asked, "What's the fun thing you wanted to tell me about?"

"Emm," he pursed his lips, gently squeezing her face, and then he smiled and said, "I think I am quite fun. Why don't you play with me?"

"You..." Yun Duo did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Tang Yi-Bai, I find that you're becoming more and more of a lunatic!"

Tang Yi-Bai was thick-skinned and was not afraid of her griping. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, and then before she could offer any objection, he quickly plopped down into a chair and started helping her to organise her study desk.

Yun Duo wiped her face and then silently bowed her head and got back to work.

She finished with her clothes and then stuffed a bolster into her suitcase. Tang Yi-Bai was curious. "You want to hug it even when you go home?"

Yun Duo shook her head and replied, "No, this bolster is old so I'm taking it home. I'll buy a new one."

"What kind are you going to buy?"

"Uh, any kind will do, as long as it's comfortable to hug."

"How big?"

"It's all fine."

He smiled as he looked at her. "Will a 1.89 metre one do?"

"..." Yun Duo stared at him blankly like she had been struck. Without any warning, she had been teased once again. A crimson flush rose on her cheeks.

She looked like a scared little rabbit. Tang Yi-Bai could not suppress his amusement. Seated on his chair, he stretched out his arms to her. "Come here."

I won't. Yun Duo turned away.

The two of them were not far apart. Tang Yi-Bai spun his chair 90 degrees to face her straight on, and then he bent over at the waist and reached out with a long arm to grab her arm with unerring accuracy and tugged forcefully.

"Ah!" Yun Duo lost balance and fell backwards with a startled yelp.

Tang Yi-Bai gave another forceful tug and she tumbled straight into his arms.

She sat in his lap and circled her arms around his neck instinctively. Her fall had barely been broken — her heart was still suspended when he had already clasped the back of her head and landed a firm kiss on her lips.

Their kiss was intense and lingering.

His tongue pried open her lips and then the tip of his tongue was scraping lightly over her palate. She could not help but push against him, but this just gave him an opportunity to hook her tongue into play. Their tongues frolicked together like two fishes in water. Yun Duo curled her tongue to avoid his, so he changed tactics to use his tongue tip to poke playfully at the root of her tongue instead...

Yun Duo's spirits were flying from his kiss — her body had lost all strength, her mind was blank. She had planned to push him away, so her hand was on his shoulder, but it was limp and weak. In a haze, she felt a hardness under her thighs, prodding against her rather uncomfortably. She did not think about what it was, only shifted her body to make herself more comfortable.

Tang Yi-Bai groaned, a faint note of pleasure in his voice. His pants became heavier. As he kissed her, he pressed her waist down, unconsciously increasing his strength.

Yun Duo's thighs were forced to push against that hard thing, and she could feel it growing increasingly harder and it even seemed to be growing bigger as well. It was like it was alive. Tang Yi-Bai gently raised his waist and the thing moved with him.

Like a baton to the skull, she came to an abrupt realisation.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Rogue!

Yun Duo twisted her head aside and the two of them became separated. Her face was red as she looked at him. She could see that his heated gaze was filled with unspeakable desire. He leaned forwards and dropped a light kiss on her lips. He called out as he kissed her, "Duoduo, my Duoduo..." His voice was rather urgent, slightly tinged with frustration from being denied satisfaction, deep and hoarse.

Yun Duo shoved his face aside and jumped out of his lap. She dodged to the other end of the room and avoided looking at him. Red-faced, she said, "Get out."

Tang Yi-Bai had also become much more sober by this time. He was a little embarrassed. "Duoduo, I..."

"Get out!"

"Okay, don't be mad. I'll go right now." He stood up and slowly made his way to the door and opened it. When he stood at the doorway, he said, "That, sorry..."

He received a flying pillow in response.

Tang Yi-Bai quickly closed the door and ran away.

After he returned to his own room, Tang Yi-Bai leaned back on his bed and stared down at the rebellious thing between his legs. He frowned and said, "Can't you be calmer?!"

He laid on his back and looked at the ceiling. Recalling the wonderful experience he had just been through, he could not help but lick his lips. Following that, he remembered that she was mad and he was morose again.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, they boarded a plane to City-N. Tang Yi-Bai was unsure if Yun Duo was still angry, so he was especially careful to maintain propriety the whole trip. When they disembarked, Yun Duo suddenly said to him, "Are you free tomorrow night?"

"What's going on?"

"That... my parents want to invite you over for dinner. It's fine if you can't make it."

"I can." Tang Yi-Bai thought, 'Even if I have to brave a knife I would go!'

He gave Yun Duo a tentative look and asked, "You... are you still angry?"

Yun Duo bowed her head. "I'm not angry."

Not angry? But yesterday you clearly acted like you were so angry you were going to set the room on fire. Tang Yi-Bai was stumped — a woman's heart was truly mysterious. Of course, he would not argue against her on this issue. It was already a great blessing that she wasn't angry — why fuss over the details?

Chinese New Year's Eve was no different than usual. Family gathering together to have a lively reunion dinner and then staying up late overnight. The only difference this year was that he now had someone he missed in a corner of the same city. Tang Yi-Bai curled up on the couch chatting with Yun Duo on his cell phone. His relatives knew he was dating now and were all eager to meet Yun Duo. A whole family of relatives — Tang Yi-Bai was afraid the crowd would scare Yun Duo and so felt rather conflicted. In the end, Madam Lu said, "We've already met her. The girl is very nice, very pretty, but she is a little shy. There's so many of you here. What will you do if you scare away the girl Doudou spent so much effort to catch?"

This made everyone laugh and Tang Yi-Bai gave his mum a gesture of gratitude. Madam Lu did not even spare him a glance.

The next day, in the afternoon, Tang Yi-Bai went to Yun Duo's home bearing gifts.

Before arriving, he was rather nervous, worried whether he would make any mistakes and incur Yun Duo's parents' dislike. However, once he actually entered Yun Duo's home, the Yun parents welcome was enthusiastic beyond his expectations. In that instant, Tang Yi-Bai even felt a sense déjà vu — it was like a superstar meeting his fans. He gave Yun Duo a dubious look.

Yun Duo quietly told him, "My parents already know you were the one who saved my life."

"Oh, no wonder then," said Tang Yi-Bai, still a little off-balance. He then asked, "Is that all there is?"

"No, they also like you very much to begin with. Last time, it's unbelievable how excited my mum was to receive that video of yours."

Tang Yi-Bai's heart settled back into place. "That's good."

Yun Duo could not help laughing. "So there are things you're afraid of too? I thought you were fearless!"

While the Yun parents weren't paying attention, Tang Yi-Bai swiftly swooped in for a kiss, causing her to flush pink. He smiled and said, "I really am fearless, but I'm afraid that my parents-in-law won't like me."

"What parents-in-law? Be a little more respectful."

"What's not good about that? You've even called me 'hubby' already."

Yun Duo glared. "Who did? You were dreaming, right?"

Tang Yi-Bai browsed through his phone to show her a picture. It was a screenshot of the Weibo post he had published. He smirked. "The picture tells the truth."

Yun Duo could not believe he could be this shameless. She huffily punched him on the shoulder. "You're becoming more and more abnormal. You weren't like this before!" Before, he had been like a lotus sprouting from the soil, clean and noble, but now... he was like a lotus on crack...

Tang Yi-Bai thought, 'You're so cute that I can't help but tease you when I see you. Can you blame me?'
