Chapter Sixteen: Ambush on the Breast

  "Rui Xin, Rui Xin." Early in the morning, Hong Jun brought oil cakes and porridge from a breakfast stall to Rui Xin's dormitory door.

  The knock on the door echoed in the dormitory building, and the female worker who opened the door said: "Wow, isn't this Big Brother? You're here so early." The female worker's figure and appearance were still passable, but her face was full of acne, which ruined her looks. Every time Hong Jun saw her, he couldn't help but want to find a piece of sandpaper to help her grind away the small pimples on her face.

  If it weren't for the acne, she would still be a beauty. After sketching out an image of her face after removing the acne in his mind, Hong Jun was convinced that she was a piece of unpolished jade, but he didn't know how to polish her. It's not like he could really use sandpaper or put her on a lathe.

  She had met Hong Jun several times, and each time she was very open and joked with him. On the contrary, it made Hong Jun, a seven-foot-tall man, a bit awkward.

  "Hey, so many guys have been eyeing that beautiful girl, and yet you effortlessly won her over. They say when someone's down on their luck, even drinking water can get stuck in their teeth. But I think when someone's lucky, they can trip and still pick up gold." Hong Jun didn't know the female worker's name, but he knew she was close to Rui Xin, who always called her "A Yun".

  "This is fate, you understand?" Hong Jun replied with a sentence and continued knocking on the door.

  "No need to knock, I just saw Rui Xin going to the infirmary, she seems to be ill." Ah Yun reminded kindly.

  "Are you ill? Where is the infirmary?" Hong Jun's heart tightened at her words, and if he hadn't been worried that she was a woman and it would be easy to misunderstand him as being too forward, he almost grabbed Ah Yun's collar to press for an answer.

  "The house on the left downstairs is, look at how anxious you are," Ah Yun was still chattering away, but Hong Jun had already run down the stairs and didn't hear the second half of her sentence, "She just..."

  A Yun's words had not finished, Hong Jun had already jumped to the downstairs, in a moment, a whirlwind rushed into the medical office, scaring Doctor Auntie and Rui Xin who was waiting for medicine.

  "What's wrong with you? You're in such a hurry, is there something urgent?" Rui Xin asked him.

  "No, ah, I heard you're sick, what's going on? Is it serious? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Hong Jun bombarded Rui Xin with questions, staring at his slightly furrowed brow. Rui Xin usually didn't frown, and now he looked like he was in pain, which made Hong Jun very worried.

  "She's fine, don't worry, it's just a woman's thing." The doctor aunt said with a smile after glancing at Hong Jun. Then she reminded Rui Xin, "You go back and take your medicine on time, rest well, that's all. You must take care of yourself, look how worried your boyfriend is." A beauty like Rui Xin, every move she makes will attract attention from the people around her. Now that she has a boyfriend, it's already an open secret in the instrument factory, and Hong Jun has also become a celebrity figure in the medical instrument factory, known to everyone. So, the doctor aunt recognized him as Rui Xin's boyfriend at a glance.

  Rui Xin's face turned red: "Thank you, Auntie." She gave Hong Jun a slight smile, and the two returned to their dormitory.

  "How are you? Are you okay?" Hong Jun asked anxiously as he carefully helped Rui Xin onto the bed, noticing a faint look of pain on her face and her hand pressing against her stomach.

  "There's nothing, just a little problem with that aspect." Rui Xin's face turned red.

  "What aspect? Which aspect?" Hong Jun asked in confusion.

  "You, you." Rui Xin's face turned even redder, her voice dropping several degrees lower. "I hate it, my stomach hurts a bit."

  "Does it hurt?" Hong Jun was confused, he had already seen Rui Xin's stomach hurting, because her hand was still on her stomach. What's embarrassing about having a stomachache? He turned his brain around and was about to ask again when he suddenly understood - the pain was menstrual cramps! No wonder Rui Xin's face was bright red and she looked uncomfortable.

  "What's going on? Is it always like this?" Now that he understood, his questions became more logical.

  "No, this is the first time I've had pain like this, and it's a lot less than usual." Rui Xin shook his head, essentially acknowledging his own illness.

  "What's going on this time?" Hong Jun was getting anxious again. Based on his knowledge, if the body suddenly had a problem, it was usually a severe symptom. Could it be that Rui Xin had suddenly contracted a serious illness and lost her menstrual cycle? It couldn't be that she was struck by fate and got an incurable disease at such a young age, could it? The more Hong Jun thought about it, the more afraid he became.

  "Don't worry, Auntie said I'm just overworked this time, as long as I get plenty of rest, I'll be fine." Rui Xin's words immediately dispelled all of Hong Jun's wild thoughts.

  Hong Jun felt a bit embarrassed, just a little illness and he was being suspicious, didn't he hope Rui Xin would be fine? Others were jinxed, wasn't he the one with a jinxed brain? "Overworked? Aren't you an office worker, is your job that tiring?" He asked.

  "Foolish, her work was originally not tiring, but this period of time working at night and accompanying you during the day, without even a moment to rest, do you think she's tired or not?" A voice sounded from behind, startling Hong Jun, he turned around, it was Ah Yun, holding a bowl in his hand.

  "How did you come in without knocking?" Hong Jun hastily let go of Rui Xin's hand, although he wasn't shy, but still not used to holding his girlfriend in front of others.

  "You guys didn't close the door, do I still need to knock?" Ah Yun said with a smile. She handed the bowl she was holding to Hong Jun, "Here, this is the egg drop soup I just made, you feed Rui Xin. I'm out of here, I won't be a light bulb for you guys." As she spoke, she winked at Rui Xin and walked out of the dorm room, closing the door behind her.

  It turned out that she got sick like this, after listening to Ah Yun's words, Hong Jun understood that Rui Xin had been working the night shift for these few days, from 10 pm to 6 am, and he himself came to find her every day at 8 am. Generally, he didn't return to his own dormitory until after dinner, which means that the time left for Rui Xin to sleep was only one or two hours. If you count the time they took a nap together in the afternoon, Rui Xin would rest for no more than four hours a day. For half a month, she had been sleeping only four hours every day. If it were him, he would have collapsed long ago.

  "Rui Xin." He looked at his beloved girl, his eyes filled with apology and tenderness. This girl, in order to be with him, actually rested for less than four hours every day, giving all her time outside of work to him.

  "Thank you, Ruixin," he said emotionally. At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for being careless, only thinking of himself and not considering Ruixin's feelings, and even occupying her rest time.

  "You're still being polite with me?" Rui Xin said with a smile all over her face.

  Hong Jun took the spoon and gently fed Rui Xin a mouthful of egg drop soup. For half a month, it had been Rui Xin feeding him breakfast every day. This was the first time he was feeding this girl, and his guilt grew more and more intense. What a careless fool! He kept saying he liked Rui Xin, so why hadn't he truly put her in his heart all along?

  Is it because what is easily obtained is often not cherished?

  He raised his hand and slapped himself hard, this time even harder than the first time he saw Rui Xin, and his cheek immediately swelled up.

  "What's wrong with you?" Rui Xin grabbed his second slap.

  "Hong Jun couldn't say anything more. He looked at Rui Xin with a guilty expression, and affection welled up from the bottom of his heart. He stuttered, finally saying the words he had treasured in his heart: 'Xin Er, I love you.'"

  It's been half a month since they met, and Rui Xin heard the person she loves say "I love you" for the first time. Her heart was filled with sweetness, and for these three words, no matter what she had to pay, even if it was her life, she would be willing. With these three words, even if she were to die immediately, she felt that this life would have no regrets.

  "I love you too." She parted her red lips and spoke from the bottom of her heart.

  Two lips, once again stuck together.

  From acquaintance to love, from love to true love. In this small dormitory, it has been sublimated.

  "Today, you don't have to accompany me anymore. I'll just stay here and watch you sleep well." Moving his lips away, Hong Jun said while feeding Rui Xin egg custard.

  "Uh-huh." The girl beside him responded softly, opening her small mouth to take a bite of egg custard. "Jun, can I call you Abing?"

  "A Bing? Why are you calling me A Bing?"

  "Because I want to call you by a name that only I can use, and I don't want anyone else to share this name with me."

  "Okay, Xīn'ér."

  Kiss again.

  Ruixin lay on the bed, fast asleep. Her long eyelashes quivered slightly, and her high-bridged nose was complemented by a small mouth below, which had a faint pink hue. She looked so adorable that it made one want to kiss her.

  Hong Jun made an effort to control his emotions, he couldn't disturb his loved one's rest, for accompanying him, she had already caused physical disorder, he loved her, so he must cherish her doubly.

  He gently shooed away a fly buzzing around her, the elegant and virtuous lady was so captivating. Was this fly also lecherous? It seemed to be intentionally teasing him, staring at Rui Xin's plump chest back and forth, and also fixing his gaze on that enticing area.

  A pink camisole, a white bra visible underneath, the firm twin peaks filling out the bra with elasticity, the buttons on the camisole strained to their limits to avoid being popped open.

  Hong Jun had an urge to reach out and touch her, but in the half month they'd been interacting, although he'd thought about it constantly, he hadn't made any improper moves. She was his goddess, and he felt that her body was so noble that he didn't dare touch her even once.

  But now, the goddess had her hands on her belly, sweetly asleep, her plump body quietly lying on the bed, her curves fully exposed before him, a worm crawling back and forth in his brain, teasing his nerves, making him unable to control himself.

  He suddenly remembered Hamlet in Shakespeare's pen, and that sentence: To be or not to be, that is a question.

  He looked at his own hands and sighed with a bitter smile, saying to himself, "To repay or not to repay, that's the question." It was a huge problem. He added a suffix to this famous phrase.

  He was faced with a choice. Although he knew she was on her period and he couldn't make any more passionate moves, at this moment, he didn't have any other desires, he just wanted to reach out and touch those two little rabbits, cute, never-before-seen little rabbits. He wanted to know their size, shape, softness, and how fragrant they were.

  He stretched out his hands. His five fingers swiftly attacked her chest. Rui Xin, who was asleep, slightly raised her chest, was she already prepared to welcome the ravage of these hands? Or was she welcoming even more crazy tender love?
