After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

The cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

Xu Qing took out his phone and saw it was his father, Xu Lang. He quickly swiped the screen and answered quietly, "Dad, what's up?"

Xu Lang: "Are you up to no good? Is it inconvenient to talk?"

Xu Qing: "I'm at Dingding's house, tell me quickly."

Xu Lang: "At Dingding's house? Oh, it's nothing then. Your mom asked me to call to ask when you'd be back, so I told her you weren't coming home tonight and were spending the night at your girlfriend's."

"Son, your parents are very open-minded. We can accept things like getting on the train first and buying the ticket later. I won't disturb your date with Dingding anymore. Bye."

Xu Qing was both amused and exasperated when she heard the phone being hung up.

I thought to myself that if he were a girl, his dad's reaction would definitely be completely different.

"I only have black tea at home, so please make do with a couple of sips," Ding Ding said as she returned with two cups of black tea, handing one to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I drink anything, I don't mind."

The two of them suddenly fell silent.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

The only sound in the air was their heartbeats, both of which were clearly starting to accelerate.

After a while, Dingding suddenly pointed towards the French windows and exclaimed, "It's snowing! Xu Qing, look!"

She excitedly grabbed Xu Qing's arm and said something, but found that Xu Qing did not move.

He turned his head and a passionate kiss covered her mouth.

Ding Ding didn't know if it was the alcohol or the snow that acted as an aphrodisiac, but she and Xu Qing spent a passionate night together.

Two inexperienced individuals, exploring together, stumbled and struggled until they finally tasted the forbidden fruit.

Afterwards, the two lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.

Reflecting on this amazing experience, everyone still finds it incredible.

"Do you like me?" Ding Ding suddenly asked.

Xu Qing answered honestly, "Yes, I like you... So, do you like me?"

Ding Ding: "...To be honest, I don't know."

Xu Qing sat up, looking at Ding Ding in disbelief, "You don't know?"

Ding Ding: "Why are you so agitated?"

Xu Qing: "But if you don't like me, why did you give me your first time?"

Ding Ding frowned: "Wasn't this your first time too? Aren't we even now?"

Tears welled in Xu Qing's eyes, and her throat tightened: "You really didn't stay with me because you liked me..."

Ding Ding sighed, “Um, I don’t want to lie to you, I do have feelings for you, but I don’t know if it counts as love.”

She felt that this accident should be more accurately described as a matter of physical attraction rather than emotional connection.

Xu Qing pursed her lips as she looked at Ding Ding.

"Don't cry, okay? I hate it when people cry. Why are you, a guy, crying?" Ding Ding was really worried that Xu Qing would cry. "Aren't you a womanizer? Why are you being serious with me?"

Xu Qing wiped away her tears, "Don't say anything more, I understand, I won't force you to take responsibility."

Ding Ding was speechless: "..."

Xu Qing took a breath and continued, "What happened tonight was all the fault of the alcohol. I insisted on taking you home, so I can't blame you. After you walk out of this door, I will try my best to forget what happened tonight."

As Xu Qing was speaking, she was about to lift the covers and get out of bed when Ding Ding stopped her. "It's snowing outside. Are you trying to freeze to death on the street? It's the middle of the night, and it's snowing. It'll be hard to get a taxi."

Xu Qing: "I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

Ding Ding: "I'm fine. Anyway, this bed is so big, it's not impossible for two people to sleep together. Besides, it's winter now, and it's so cold. It'll be warmer if two people sleep together..."

Xu Qing turned back to look at Ding Ding, swallowed hard, and said, "No, I'd better leave."

Ding Ding had little patience. Hearing Xu Qing say that, she let go of his hand and said irritably, "Fine, go if you want. You're ungrateful for my kindness. Remember to close the door when you leave. I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, she lay down and pulled the covers over her head.

Xu Qing stood by the bed for a while and thought about it. He felt that he was being a bit too dramatic. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get a taxi if he went out at this time. What if Ding Ding wouldn't open the door for him if he wanted to come back then?

In the end, his reason prevailed over his inner sentimentality. He sat down on the edge of the bed and deliberately nudged Dingding, "Go over there."

Ding Ding paused for a moment, then rolled over to the other side.

Xu Qing smiled slightly, happily snuggled into the quilt, hugged Ding Ding from behind, and buried her head in Ding Ding's neck to drift off to sleep.

She comforted herself, saying that she had given him her first time, so she must love him, she just didn't realize it.

Also, girls love to say the opposite of what they mean.

Maybe Dingding was being sarcastic and lying to him.

As long as she doesn't hate him, that's fine.

Ding Ding felt a fire burning against her back, so she nudged Xu Qing with her elbow and said, "Don't move, I want to sleep."

Xu Qing chuckled, "Are you really able to sleep?"

Ding Ding: "I'm almost asleep. If you can't sleep, go play your mobile games on the sofa."

Xu Qing: "With you here, why would I play mobile games? Tell me about your family."

"I won't say. There's nothing to say. In short, we're poor," Ding Ding replied in a muffled voice.

Xu Qing: "..."

Ding Ding: "Forget it, you should go home. If you stay here, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight."

Xu Qing: "Okay, I won't say anything more. You should go to sleep."

At the Lin family home, Shen Qingzhu gently opened the door, craned her neck to look around, and only after confirming that no one was there did she boldly enter the house.

She was extremely annoyed, and after her second intimate encounter with Su Wenshan, she actually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already late at night.

Su Wenshan asked her to stay at the hotel overnight.

But she was afraid that the old lady would not see her the next day and would become suspicious, so she insisted on driving home.

Who knew it would snow outside? What should have been a half-hour drive took an hour to get back.

Shen Qingzhu closed the front door and tiptoed upstairs. Just as she was about to reach her bedroom door, she heard a voice behind her say, "You're back."

"Ah..." Shen Qingzhu was so frightened that she cried out.

She turned around and saw the old lady standing behind her, looking at her with serene eyes.

Shen Qingzhu patted her chest and said, "Mom, you scared me to death! Why did you have to scare me like that in the middle of the night?"

Xu Ying stared at the person in front of her with a stern face, "You know it's the middle of the night, why are you only coming back at this hour?"

Shen Qingzhu didn't dare to look her mother-in-law in the eye. While pretending to open the door, she replied, "Didn't I tell you? It's my sister's birthday. It's rare for everyone to get together. We chatted and forgot about the time."

Xu Ying: "Really? Which sister?"

Shen Qingzhu had already prepared her lines: "You don't know me, Mom. It's late, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

Xu Ying tugged at the corner of her lips, "Really? You seem to be in pretty good spirits."

Shen Qingzhu pretended to yawn, "No, and I drank tonight, so I feel really tired. I really need to sleep."

After Shen Qingzhu finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Ying's reply, she quickly stepped into the house and closed the door.

She leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

He cursed inwardly, "You old bastard, you're so nosy. It seems I really can't keep you around any longer."

Thinking of this, Shen Qingzhu took out her phone from her bag and sent a message to Su Wenshan.

Shen Qingzhu: The old woman seems to have discovered something; we need to find a way to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Su Wenshan: Received, I'll think of a way.
