"Uncle?"
"You and Yin Meng often stay at my house?"
"Cough! Cough, cough, cough!"
As soon as Yin Shixiu spoke, the hawthorn in Su Xiaomeng's mouth got stuck in her throat. She was pounding her chest vigorously while waving her hand at Yin Shixiu, "No, no... cough, cough..."
"No?"
Su Xiaomeng coughed for a long time before she could breathe smoothly, her small face red like a little lantern. She widened her eyes, "Uncle, occasionally, just occasionally!"
She didn't even know why she was panicking. Actually, staying in Yin Shixiu's house was something Yin Meng had his permission for, but she just felt the way he asked... wasn't right.
"Have you been sleeping in my room all this time?"
"Ah? No, no! No, no, no!"
Su Xiaomeng was instantly flustered, waving her hands anxiously, with only one thought in her mind, the theme of this meal has finally come out!
As expected, he found out. Damn Yin Meng, she said changing the sheets and covers wouldn't let him find out!
Yin Shixiu's eyebrows moved slightly, the street lights falling on his face, sometimes casting it in darkness, sometimes in light, eerily scary...
Su Xiaomeng lowered her head, confessing honestly, "Just once... just one night! I know you have a cleanliness obsession, Uncle. Meng Meng told me. But that night I was drunk, maybe... went into the wrong room... I swear, it was just that once!"
She always adhered to the principle of "being honest to seek leniency" whenever she caused trouble, so she tried to widen her eyes to make herself look guilty and sincere!
Yin Shixiu looked at Su Xiaomeng, every expression on her face was completely clear to him, and then, he came to the conclusion: he might have made a significant mistake.
"Uncle?"
"You really don't remember anything about that night?" he confirmed once again.
"Uh, I... was drunk, what should I remember...?"
"Su Xiaomeng, that night, I entered the room."
Indeed! Su Xiaomeng said to herself, even with a dog's nose, no matter how severe the obsession with cleanliness was, it couldn't be guessed so accurately!
"I'm sorry, Uncle... You should have woken me up back then!"
Su Xiaomeng thought it through immediately, the guy originally wanted to go home to sleep, but the bed was occupied by a clueless girl!
In front of Yin Meng, he probably felt embarrassed to confront her directly, so he conjured up this excuse... so it was a Hongmen Banquet all along! And she herself was the one to foot the bill for this banquet...
"I woke you up."
"Huh?"
Well... things were starting to develop in a direction Su Xiaomeng hadn't anticipated.
"Su Xiaomeng, that night... we did it."
"Did it? Did what?" Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shixiu with a slightly dumbfounded expression, unable to react.
Yin Shixiu pursed his lips, a lone streetlight illuminating the depths of his obsidian-like eyes.
He didn't explain, just kept looking at her.
Then Su Xiaomeng's brain finally started to work...
That night... she had a dream, a spring dream.
Under the pale yellow light, Yin Shixiu could clearly see her dark brown pupils contract and expand rapidly in an instant, the patterns in her eyes surprisingly dazzling.
But what this brilliance brought was Su Xiaomeng's shock and disbelief.
"Uncle, you... what do you mean?"
An answer popped into her mind, and the fear from this answer made her voice tremble, along with her body.
"It's just as you think."
The candied hawthorn in Su Xiaomeng's hand fell to the ground.
If at the beginning Yin Shixiu had any doubts that she might just be playing hard to get, or perhaps she didn't care about the issue of chastity, now, he could be sure...
