112 Acting Together
He looked down. “Is it sweet?”
“Sweet.”
“Let me try.”
Lin Jiao was about to peel one for him when she received a passionate kiss.
With her lips sealed, she could not make a sound. She could only pull the blanket over their heads to avoid being seen by Xue Jing.
Two breaths intertwined in the small space.
Pei Zhi savored the sweet fragrance and rubbed her waist through the knitted sweater, immersed in the moment.
“Sister?” A childish voice sounded.
Xue Jing approached the corner and stared at the dark brown blanket. “Are you guys playing a game?”
Lin Jiao pushed Pei Zhi out to let him answer the question.
“I’m feeding your sister grapes.”
“Why do you have to cover your head when you eat grapes?”
“It’s sweeter this way.” Pei Zhi recalled the sweetness that almost intoxicated him.
He placed the pillow on Xue Jing’s head and slowly peeled the grape skin. “Try it.”
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but when Xue Jing chewed, he felt that it was much sweeter than ordinary grapes.
He wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth and gently pulled open the blanket on Lin Jiao’s head. “Sister, do you want to eat the grapes I feed you?”
Lin Jiao nodded cooperatively.
When he fed her, she raised her chin in Pei Zhi’s direction and mouthed the words again.
Having received the message, Xue Jing pounced on Pei Zhi. “Brother-in-law, I want to sleep here tonight. Can I?”
“What about your sister?”
“She’ll be here too.”
Pei Zhi pretended not to know what they were up to and said with a straight face, “Your sister might not want to.”
“Why?”
“She promised to go back home every Tuesday.” He looked at the calendar. “Today is Tuesday.”
Lin Jiao quickly stopped Xue Jing.
“Jing, forget it.” She took a step back. “I’ll take you back. Don’t trouble him.”
Xue Jing was about to nod when he saw her winking at him.
He sat down on the carpet and straightened his neck. “I’m not going back!”
“Then you stay here. I’ll go back.”
“No!”
“Be good.” In order to avoid being seen through by Pei Zhi, Lin Jiao coaxed genuinely, “I’ll buy you candy, okay?”
“No!” Xue Jing refused firmly.
He put down the figurines and moved his butt to Pei Zhi’s feet to hug his leg. “Brother-in-law, I want to sleep with you.”
Pei Zhi held back his laughter and looked at him for a few seconds.
He opened a shopping app and typed in the words “child’s toothbrush” before saying, “Pick one yourself.”
He let go of his leg and clicked on the snack section after choosing a toothbrush. “Can I buy candy?”
“Ask your sister.”
“You can only buy one lollipop.” Lin Jiao shook off her slippers and picked up the remote control.
She found the costume drama that she did not finish watching last time and moved to Pei Zhi’s side. “Uncle, I want to drink juice.”
“Right away.” Pei Zhi walked to the counter and took out two boxes of apple juice.
He put the straws in them one by one. When the opening song sounded, he hugged Lin Jiao and lay back.
The sound of Xue Jing playing with the figurines and the sound of the drama filled the room, but they seemed to be in perfect harmony.
However, the good time was short-lived. As soon as the clock pointed to eleven, the lights in the living room and corridor went out one after another.
After Xue Jing fell asleep, Pei Zhi got out of bed and went around to the other side, hugging his beloved girl.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. With his back facing the moonlight, he accompanied her to sleep.
