Chapter 10: The Fragrance of Night-Blooming Flowers

  "After class, Wu Xindao said: 'In theory, Xiao Jian shouldn't have let us win easily. What happened in today's game then?'"

  Hu Bin listened and said with a slight pause: "Perhaps Xiao Jian underestimated your strength!"

  "It's impossible, this time he came back, he fell so big in my hands, must hate me to the bone. The latest free chapter of this book please visit. At that time, although he couldn't recognize me, I returned to school and he would understand everything. I think, maybe something unexpected happened to him..."

  Hu Bin smiled faintly and said, "This time we lost, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome to deal with you in the future. Don't think too much about things that are hard to understand. Tonight, at Xifeng Dapaidang, Fang Xiaoqin is treating us to dinner, are you going or not?"

  I don't want to go!...

  "It's better to go! It can be seen that she is setting a feast specifically for you. The rest of us cannot refuse, and we agreed to go. If you don't go, it will probably chill her heart. Otherwise, make it clear to her, don't let her suffer from ambiguity."

  Wu Xin bitterly smiled and said: "I know!"

  As they walked out of school, Wu Xinyuan saw Fang Xiaoxin waiting at the school gate from afar.

  Wu Xin also couldn't avoid it and went to the banquet with other classmates.

  The scene was ordinary, Fang Xiaoxin ordered a lot of dishes and called for many beers, constantly laughing and inviting everyone to eat and drink, but her eyes were always fixed on Wu Xin.

  Wu Xin didn't have much thought, thinking about what Duan Yun said to him about Xiao Jian, and thinking about how to deal with him to resolve the conflict between them and guide him towards goodness. So Wu Xin ate very little and drank very little.

  Fang Xiaoxin's heart gradually turned sour, seeing Wu Xinzhen not even giving her a glance. She opened a bottle of beer and smiled: "Come on, I'll drink with everyone! Who dares to compete with me?"

  Several classmates have already had a few drinks and are slightly drunk. Upon hearing this, their spirits were greatly lifted and they wanted to continue drinking heavily.

  Hu Bin and Jiang Zuoming quietly went to pull Fang Xiaoxin's hand, not letting her drink, but were suddenly shaken off by Fang Xiaoxin.

  Fang Xiaoqin had never drunk alcohol before, but at this moment she poured that bottle of wine directly into her mouth.

  The bitter taste was unbearable. Fang Xiaoqin endured it, continuing to pour, hot tears streaming down her face as the bitterness numbed her senses. Unintentionally, she choked on a mouthful and finally stopped, her face already bright red with tears streaming down. Jiang Zuoming hastily handed over a roll of paper towels for her to wipe away the tears. Hu Bin, meanwhile, punched Wu Xin's thigh under the table.

  Wu Xin came back to his senses, saw the scene and immediately understood, saying: "Today Xiao Qin is treating us, everyone should eat and drink well, enjoy themselves. Just now Xiao Qin set an example for everyone. She usually doesn't drink, but today she's so generous. What should everyone do?"

  "Drink up!"

  "Great! Cheers! I'll go get more wine with Xiao Qin!" Wu Xin said with a smile, pulling Xiao Qin along as they walked out.

  Fang Xiaoqin still wanted to struggle when Wu Xin's hand grasped her arm.

  "Out of the room, Wu Xin looked at Fang Xiaoqin and said softly: "Why do you want to hurt yourself like this? Why don't you cherish yourself?"

  "Is that so? I'm just feeling very bitter in my heart, I just... really feel so bitter and painful, it's like my heart is breaking!" Fang Xiaoqin burst into tears again.

  Wu Xin looked at Fang Xiaoqin and sighed: "What's the point? Is it worth it? I really feel guilty, I'm really not worthy..."

  Fang Xiaoqin sobbed: "I don't care!"

  "Don't be so weak, you're still young. A beautiful and talented girl like you will have countless boys who are much better than me liking you in the future!..." Wu Xin wondered how he could say such words so smoothly.

  "But I just like you, you little rascal! You can't get rid of me that easily!" Fang Xiaoqin said, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

  Wu Xin suddenly enlightened, softly said: "Last night I and Ah Zhen's words you all heard? You should also know that I and Yingying have already... I can't afford to wrong her irresponsibly." Wu Xin spoke more directly.

  "I don't care, you know?" Fang Xiaoqin said, her hands already tightly wrapped around Wu Xin, her rosy and moist lips pressed firmly against Wu Xin's.

  Wu Xin lightly kissed her and let go: "Don't make trouble, okay?"

  "Hmm! I'll listen to you!" Fang Xiaoqin said with a smile through her tears.

  Wu Xin sighed and went to fetch a few bottles of beer.

  Wu Xin entered the seat, and the atmosphere suddenly became more lively than before. The sound of guessing fists and drinking wine was endless.

  When the wine was finished and the guests had dispersed, Wu Xin discovered that Fang Xiaoqin had already fallen asleep on a sofa.

  Hu Bin patted Wu Xin's shoulder and smiled: "We're leaving, she's all yours!"

  Wu Ye also smiled and leaned in close to Wu Xin's ear, saying: "You should be gentler with others!"

  Wu Xin listened and laughed, punching him with one fist: "See if I don't beat you up!"

  She gently called Fang Xiaoxin, but found her cheeks burning hot and red.

  "What's going on, Xiao Qin?" Wu Xin asked as he shook awake Fang Xiaoqin. She smiled foolishly and struggled to sit up, swaying back and forth as she laughed: "I secretly drank a bottle..."

  Wu Xin smiled wryly and scolded: "Didn't I tell you not to make trouble? Why don't you listen?"

  "Take me home in your arms!" Fang Xiaoqin said with a drunken smile, her red face showing no signs of shyness.

  Wu Xin had no choice but to hold her and head towards her home.

  The night wind had turned cold, and the streets were desolate. Fang Xiaoxin tightly snuggled into Wu Xin's arms, pressing herself close to him, as if afraid he would leave her side.

  "Xiao Qin!" The door to Xiao Qin's house was knocked open, and her father saw Wu Xin with a guilty look on his face and Xiao Qin drunk like a shrimp, and he exclaimed in surprise. Her mother also rushed over, exclaiming in shock.

  "I'm sorry, Uncle and Auntie... Xiao Qin got drunk..." Wu Xin said with a apologetic face.

  "Ah, this kid must be up to some mischief again! No worries, come on in!"

  Wu Xin hesitated for a moment, put Fang Xiaoqin on the sofa, and sighed: "Let her sleep well, nothing's wrong! I'm leaving too."

  Wu Xin stood up and was about to leave when Fang Xiaoqin grabbed his arm, almost pulling her entire body off the sofa.

  "Don't go..." Fang Xiaoqin's face was streaming with tears, looking at Wu Xin, she choked and said: "You're leaving, I...I won't live anymore..."

  Fang Xiaoxin's father and mother both sighed when they heard this, their faces turning gloomy.

  "Dad muttered: 'Why drink so much? Drunken nonsense...'"

  Mother Fang went to the kitchen with tears in her eyes and fetched hot water.

  Wu Xin stared blankly at Fang Xiaoqin, then walked over and squatted down, advising: "Xiaoqin, don't be like this, your dad and mom will be very worried! Rest well, tomorrow I won't be late, I'll wait for you in class, okay?"

  "No! I know you're just coaxing me... I don't want you to leave, it will hurt my heart!"

  "Alright, I'll stay with you!" Wu Xin had no choice.

  Fang Xiaoqin smiled and said softly: "Will you carry me to my room? I don't want Dad and Mom to see me like this!"

  "Okay, wait a minute, let your mom wash your face first!" Wu Xin said with a faint smile.

  "Hmm!" Fang Xiaoqin smiled sweetly and said.

  After washing and dressing, Wu Xin carried her to the room, comforted her to sleep, and covered her with a quilt.

  "Don't go!" Fang Xiaoxin grabbed Wu Xin's hand and said with a pout.

  "I'm not leaving, I'll stay by your side, okay?"

  Fang Xiaoqin nodded and suddenly blushed with a smile: "You close your eyes first, don't peek! I'll tell you when to open them!"

  Wu Xin shook his head and smiled wryly: "Alright, I won't sneak a peek!"

  After finishing, Wu Xin closed his eyes and heard a soft rustling sound. He didn't bother to respond and let his mind wander for a while. Suddenly, he heard Fang Xiaoqin's gentle voice saying, "Don't open your eyes!" Her hand reached out and grabbed Wu Xin's hand, pulling him closer.

  "Okay, you can open your eyes now!" Fang Xiaoqin said timidly.

  Wu Xin smiled and opened his eyes, but saw a dull and lifeless scene.

  At this moment, Fang Xiaoqin's beautiful body, as white and tender as sheep fat, was completely exposed to Wu Xin's eyes. Wu Xin was stunned, forgot to smile, forgot everything, and stared blankly at this snow-white beauty. Fang Xiaoqin's face flushed like a peach, her eyes sparkled with shyness, and her body curves were fully exposed, soft and delicate, emitting a faint, captivating glow...

  Wu Xin felt Fang Xiaoqin's tension, grasped his own arm and slightly trembled, his fingernails deeply embedded in the skin.

  Wu Xin stared blankly for a long time before coming back to his senses, hastily closing his eyes and turning his head away. As he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Fang Xiaoqin sobbing softly.

  "Am... am I really so unbearable to you?"

  "Where is this? Xiao Qin, cover yourself with the quilt, don't catch a cold... You're too beautiful, so beautiful that it makes me feel ashamed. I'm not a saint, I'm no different from other men. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself!"

  Wu Xin said lightly.

  Fang Xiaoqin had already stood up and hugged Wu Xin from behind, pressing her warm, fragrant, and soft body tightly against Wu Xin's.

  Wu Xin could no longer hold back, turned around and tightly hugged Fang Xiaoqin, the little bit of guilt in his heart slowly dissolving.

  "The night is deep, the beauty of silence before dawn; The stars have passed, the tears of loneliness in life; The song has flown away, the faint aftertaste of drunkenness; The moon is cold, the infatuation in the mortal world. In a moment of recklessness, perhaps perfection..."

  Fang Xiaoqin hummed softly, her delicate voice revealing a deep and bitter sorrow.

  Wu Xin gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, which was not covered at all, and lightly kissed her sweet lips that were slightly intoxicated with wine. He listened to the sorrowful and infatuated singing, as if in a drunken dream...

  Wu Xin held her in his arms, gently leaning back onto the bed, the warmth of their skin transmitted, making him feel dizzy and comfortable to the point of wanting to shout out loud. The feeling was like holding a soft, smooth, and delicate piece of tofu in his hands, wanting to swallow it in one bite, yet not bearing to part with it, unable to swallow, his heart felt unfulfilled, truly torn between two desires.

  As they got closer, except for their clothes, when their skin touched, Fang Xiaoqin's heart suddenly beat faster.

  Wu Xin could no longer bear it, and hastily pulled up the quilt, moving aside her warm thighs that were slightly sweating. He squeezed his body into the middle, pressing tightly against hers.

  Fang Xiaoqin felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on her, and her heart was filled with a softness like falling into clouds and fog. She also felt a little scared, knowing she had to face the pain of being torn apart, and her heart began to beat violently, her body shaking wildly with a mix of joy and anxiety.

  Wu Xin felt it, gently lowering himself, his face pressed between her firm twin peaks, smelling the faint scent, feeling the tremble of her skin, taking a long deep breath. Fang Xiaoqin slowly relaxed a bit, but still couldn't shake off the fear towards the iron cavalry pressing in at the gate, her hands grasping tightly onto Wu Xin's back, her fingernails digging into his skin, tense and ready to endure the baptism of adulthood...

  That night, neither of them slept, they were tenderly entwined, softly whispering sweet nothings, inseparable...

  But when daylight came, both of them were in high spirits and showed no signs of fatigue.
