Chapter 258: Chapter 259: The Promise with Miao Xuanxuan

"Cough cough..." Miao Xuanxuan cleared his throat and said, "I was just in a hurry, so I ran over, hehe, you guys continue, I’m heading back." After speaking, Miao Xuanxuan immediately slipped out, but before he did, he shot Song Xiaodong a fierce glare filled with threat and warning.

Miao Qingqing naturally thought that Miao Xuanxuan’s glare was because of her and also because of her attire.

But Song Xiaodong was very clear about the meaning behind Miao Xuanxuan’s glare; it was telling him not to let the truth slip out.

Once the door closed, Song Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing looked at each other. Then, Miao Qingqing swiftly pulled the comforter over herself, while Song Xiaodong was completely exposed.

"Ah, you pervert!" Miao Qingqing caught sight of Song Xiaodong’s nakedness and immediately felt both embarrassed and annoyed. She turned away and cursed bitterly, thinking about how this guy had actually slept in the same bed with her like this the night before, she was utterly mortified and furious.

Song Xiaodong coughed and tried to find his clothes, only to realize they were all on Miao Qingqing’s side. He quickly jumped out of bed and walked around to her side.

"Ah, you exhibitionist!" Miao Qingqing saw Song Xiaodong’s body again and turned green with anger, swiftly pulling the comforter over her face.

Song Xiaodong quickly got dressed in a matter of seconds, coughed, and said, "Qingqing, this... I’m sorry."

He really wanted to explain the situation, but unless he admitted to mistaking her for Miao Xuanxuan, there was no way to clarify the matter. After all, they had both been coherent that morning, and he had still done that to Miao Qingqing. In the end, he could only manage to say these three words.

"Just get out of here," Miao Qingqing said, not even sure what to say to this guy Song Xiaodong anymore.

Song Xiaodong promptly slipped out to see Miao Xuanxuan waving at him from the doorway of the next room.

Song Xiaodong hurried into Miao Xuanxuan’s room, Miao Xuanxuan closed the door, and then reached out and pinched the soft flesh of Song Xiaodong’s waist.

Song Xiaodong grimaced as if in great pain, and said with a wry smile, "Xuanxuan, I really thought it was you at the time. If I had known it was Qingqing, I wouldn’t have dared."

"You bastard, you didn’t dare last night, but you dared this morning?" Miao Xuanxuan grew even more irritated upon hearing this.

Song Xiaodong laughed dryly and said, "At that moment, Qingqing wanted to run, and I thought it was funny, so I deliberately wanted to play with her—no, I meant to tease you."

"To tease me, you just kiss?"

Song Xiaodong quickly said, "Yeah, I figured since we were that way last night, as long as the last barrier wasn’t broken, giving you a kiss wasn’t a big deal."

Miao Xuanxuan snorted and said, "Dream on. I gave you that chance last night because I’d had too much to drink. Let me tell you, starting now, you’re not getting such chances anymore. You’re never allowed to kiss me, touch me, undress me, or even think about it."

Song Xiaodong knew that this was indeed for the best for both of them, but as he watched Miao Xuanxuan say these words with an obviously aggrieved expression, he couldn’t bear it. He opened his arms and hugged her, whispering, "Do you really mean that?"

I’m willing! Of course, I am willing!" Miao Xuanxuan twisted her slender waist, but her hands involuntarily wrapped around Song Xiaodong’s waist.

"You big bully, you big thug, you clearly already did the deed with Qingqing, and then you went and flirted with me, making me fall for you, making me want to do it with you, you’re just rotten to the core, rotten through and through." As Miao Xuanxuan spoke, she began to sob pitifully while her tiny hands gently patted Song Xiaodong’s back.

In the past few years, Song Xiaodong had heard countless sweet nothings, but none of them touched him as deeply as Miao Xuanxuan’s words did now. His heart swelled with emotion, and he hugged Miao Xuanxuan tight, kissing her gently on the forehead, "Xuanxuan, I will definitely give you an explanation for this. For the first time in many years, I truly want to marry someone, and that person is you."

"Ah..." Miao Xuanxuan raised her head, her eyes wide as she looked at Song Xiaodong. Although her eyes were still filled with tears, they clearly shone with joy.

"Xuanxuan!" Song Xiaodong leaned down and gently kissed her lips again, saying, "I’m serious. I admit I’m not always reliable, and sometimes I act impulsively around women, but right now, I truly have the urge to marry you."

Facing Song Xiaodong’s gaze, Miao Xuanxuan’s face lost its look of grievance in an instant, replaced by a blooming smile, as she playfully chided, "Even if you are just trying to soothe me, I’m still very happy."

"I’m not soothing you. I’m speaking the truth," Song Xiaodong stared earnestly at Miao Xuanxuan.

"Ha... then I’m even happier," Miao Xuanxuan went on tiptoes and gave Song Xiaodong a peck on his lips, saying, "Consider this a reward for you, and then... in the future, I might consider letting you kiss me, letting you touch me... taking off clothes... that’s occasionally okay too."

"What about doing the deed?" Seeing Miao Xuanxuan’s adorable demeanor, Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

Miao Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong and said, "If I let you do it, would you dare?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Song Xiaodong’s response was surprisingly confident.

"Do you really dare?" Miao Xuanxuan widened her eyes, "That time, the one you were with was Qingqing. Do you still want to do it with me?"

Song Xiaodong gazed seriously at Miao Xuanxuan, "Whether it was you or Qingqing two years ago, or even someone else, what matters is that I like you now, and the past can only represent what’s already gone."

Miao Xuanxuan blinked her big eyes and then quickly shook her head, "That won’t work. If it was really Qingqing, wouldn’t that mean I’m stealing a man from her? We used to compete for everything when we were kids, but stealing a man, I can’t do that. It would seriously damage our sisterhood."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, "Then what do we do? If it is Qingqing, you don’t want me to be with her, do you?"

"This... I wouldn’t bear that either. How about this... Dongzi, let’s make a promise."

"What promise?" Song Xiaodong asked, squinting.

"Before you find out for sure if it’s Qingqing or not, we can’t do the deed. But other things are fine. Unless you’re certain, absolutely certain, that it wasn’t Qingqing, then we can do it. Otherwise, I’ll always have this thorn in my side, and even if I do it with you, I would feel uncomfortable."

Looking at Miao Xuanxuan’s earnest expression, Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you. Let’s find some time to go to Las Vegas together. Perhaps there, by finding the marriage certificate I left behind, everything will be settled."
