Chapter 30: Adding Ingredients Daughter Red

  Chi Mei also drank a mouthful, seemingly drunk, and slid forward, actually falling into Xiao Jia Ding's arms. Xiao Jia Ding's blood was about to burn up, he wrapped his arms around her delicate body, and the two fell onto the carpet.

  In his passion, he felt plum blossom strongly enduring pain, yet didn't hum a sound. In the fierce fire, he was completely beyond care.

  …………

  After the storm has passed.

  Xiao Jiading suddenly discovered that under Chi Mei's body, there were actually crimson spots!

  Xiao Jia Ding's head buzzed once, and he stuttered: "You... you're still...?"

  The plum blossoms were infinitely charming, the jade-like arms as white as lotus roots wrapped around his neck, pulling him into her own embrace, murmuring: "Xiao Lang..."

  "I'm sorry, I...I don't know..."

  He hesitated and didn't know what to say.

  Chi Mei gently pressed her fingers on his lips, her eyes softly gazing at him, saying: "Being able to be with Xiao Lang is Chi Mei's lifelong wish."

  This sentence, on the contrary, made Xiao Jiading suddenly vigilant. He thought he had a high melting point for beauties and wouldn't be easily moved to emotion. Although Chi Mei was a beauty and very seductive, she definitely wasn't at the level of making him lose control. Could it be...

  He rolled his eyes and guessed seven or eight points, saying in a low voice: "You put ** in the wine?"

  Cherry was taken aback for a moment, looking at him and didn't know what to say for a while.

  Xiao Jia Ding's face turned even darker, and he said: "I'm asking you, isn't that right? Don't think about lying, there is still leftover wine in the pot, I will find someone to test it!"

  Cherry suddenly hugged him and said pitifully, "I'm sorry, Xiao Lang. I put medicine in that pot of Daughter Red because I like you too much. You...you won't blame me, will you?"

  A woman lets a man possess her, there must be a reason! Xiao Jiading coldly said: "Why?"

  "Because of that poem you wrote yesterday."

  "What's wrong with that word?"

  Cherry felt the chill in Xiao Jia Ding's attitude, and her slender body leaned closer to him, speaking softly: "You may have also heard that I once liked a scholar, he said he would redeem me, marry me, but he got a serious illness and left me forever... I really miss him... Those days, I spent my whole day crying, I wrote many poems mourning him, I don't know if he heard them or not, until I saw you, I felt like he had returned to my side..."

  Xiao Jia Ding's eyes rolled around and he said: "You won't take me for him, will you?"

  Cherry's eyes were hazy and she nodded vaguely.

  Xiao Jia Ding glared and said, "You think I'm him? So... you set a trap for me to take your chastity, don't tell me you want me to raise money to ransom you and marry you?"

  Crazy Plum shook her head and said: "I don't want you to redeem me, I won't marry you, nor will I marry anyone else."

  Xiao Jiading was bewildered and said: "You won't be foolish enough to remain a widow for that scholar for the rest of your life, will you?"

  "Yes, my heart has been given to him and will no longer be given to anyone else. Xiao Lang, in fact, you are a hundred times more talented than he is, but my heart has already been given to him, so I can no longer accommodate anyone else."

  "If so, why did you still give your body to me."

  "Because of you, I remembered that song with four characters. After reading the lyrics, it was as if I saw him again. The lyrics of my seven-character song were actually written together with him. At that time, he was already very ill. I was so afraid, afraid that he would leave me, afraid that we would be separated like a pair of mandarin ducks on a brocade, never to meet again... but in the end, he still left me forever..."

  As she spoke of the sorrowful part, Mei choked with sobs and began to weep.

  Xiao Jia Ding's eyes rolled a few more times, he reached out and hugged her, gently stroking her hair, softly comforting her.

  "Yesterday, you wrote that poem on the four-character machine, and suddenly I felt like he was back by my side. I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have treated you as if you were him, but I couldn't help myself. That feeling can't be shaken off. Your words said 'Spring waves, green grass, dawn chill, deep in the red clothes'. It made me cry all night, because I had wanted to keep my body for him until our wedding day, but before that day arrived, he left. Even thinking about bathing together in red clothes is impossible now... By the time it was almost dawn, I made up my mind to give my body to you, just as if I were giving it to him. It would fulfill a lifelong wish of mine, so..."

  What kind of logic is this? If you can't give it to the deceased, then give it to someone who resembles him? The brains of ancient women, I really don't know what they're made of.

  Xiao Jiading lost interest after she treated him as if he were her deceased lover, and considering the woman's intentions, he wanted to leave but was held back by Chi Mei. She had already sensed Xiao Jiading's displeasure, looked up at him with tearful eyes, and said: "I'm sorry, Xiao Lang, I won't mention him again in the future, okay?"

  "It doesn't exist," Xiao Jiading said with a sigh, "He was your first love, you can't forget him, that's completely understandable. It's just that, to be honest, you're treating me like him and doing this with me, it makes me very uncomfortable. I'm a straightforward person, sorry."

  "It's me who should be saying sorry," Chi Mei held him tightly, afraid that he would leave just like that. "Actually, you are a hundred times better than him, really, if I had met both of you at the same time back then, I would have fallen in love with you without any hesitation."

  This sounds quite comforting. Xiao Jia Ding's face slightly improved, and he said: "You won't be saying this just to make me happy, will you?"

  "It's not that I'm unwilling, I've already given my body to you, and my heart's desire has been fulfilled. After I redeem myself, I'll go to a quiet place and live out the rest of my days in solitude, so what need do I have to deceive you?"

  "Why don't you just marry another man? It's hard to find a three-eyed toad, but two-legged men are everywhere. Why bother with me?"

  "I've said it before, my heart has room for him and no one else. Even if you're a hundred times better than him."

  Xiao Jiadeng's heart softened, looking at the beautiful plum blossom hairpin between her eyebrows, he couldn't help but kiss her once: "You silly girl, ah! No wonder you're called Chi Mei!"

  She burst out laughing: "You're right, I've been like this since I was a kid. Once I set my mind on something, I get obsessed with it. Since I was born when the plum blossoms bloom in winter, my parents gave me this name."

  "Little silly melon!" Xiao Jia Ding affectionately pinched her plump and round buttocks.

  The foolish plum hummed a soft sound, her delicate body clinging to him, pouting her small mouth and saying: "Xiao Lang, you're not angry with me anymore, are you?"

  Looking at her lovely appearance, Xiao Jia Ding's wine-stirred waves surged again, and he smiled slyly: "It depends on your performance..."

  …………

  The lamp had been lit for some time, but the room was still in complete darkness.

  They didn't know how many times they had made love, but both of them were exhausted and lay in each other's arms.

  Finally, Chi Mei said softly: "Xiao Lang, you...you should go...to Ya Niang's place."

  Xiao Jiading slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about this. I have something very important to ask her." He sat up and was about to get out of bed to fetch their clothes when Chi Mei had already taken the lead, getting out of bed naked to bring back their clothes and helping Xiao Jianding put them on first.

  Xiao Jiading kissed her red lips lightly and said in a low voice: "Can't you just stay in Yizhou and not leave?"

  "Alright!" Chi Mei immediately responded, gazing at him with deep affection, "Actually, I also can't bear to part with Xiao Lang's..."

  "I don't want to part with you either!"

  "I'm also reluctant to part with you. Although I treated you like him, - sorry about that - but just now when I was with you... my mind only had your shadow, thinking of separating from you and not knowing when we can meet again, I... my heart is also in pain... so maybe I'm just deceiving myself, I... actually really want to be with you..."

  "This is more like it." Xiao Jiading burst out laughing, "Alright then, let's celebrate properly once you're free. By the way, where do you plan on living?"

  "Where did you say I should live?" she asked, looking up at him with a foolish expression.
