Chapter 624: Chapter 625 The Taste of Love

Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan didn’t eat much when they were out for dinner with classmates. They first found a snack street and casually ate something. While eating, they used their phones to find a suitable movie theater, so they could head over to watch a movie after eating.

Song Xiaodong’s phone started ringing; it was Miao Qingqing calling. Miao Xuanxuan peeked over and said with a smile, "Is this a spot check?"

Song Xiaodong smiled and answered the call.

Miao Qingqing casually chatted with Song Xiaodong for a few minutes before she asked, "What are you and Xuanxuan up to right now?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "We’re out grabbing some food."

Miao Qingqing then asked, "Aren’t you guys with your classmates?"

"No, one of our classmates ran into a bit of trouble, and Xuanxuan and I lent a hand," Song Xiaodong briefly explained the situation.

"You should help out. Are you guys up to anything else tonight?" Miao Qingqing continued to inquire.

Song Xiaodong sighed inwardly, knowing that Miao Qingqing was probing, now aware that the person from two years ago was Miao Xuanxuan, she found herself in a state of confusion.

With a gentle tone, Song Xiaodong said, "We’re just going to casually stroll around for a bit and then head back to the hotel. Honey, are you unable to sleep without me at home?"

Miao Qingqing immediately responded, "No, not at all."

Song Xiaodong chuckled softly, saying, "I’m starting to miss you. When I get back, let’s make plans to go to a movie together."

"Ah? Go to a movie?" Miao Qingqing was taken aback for a moment and retorted, "I’m so busy, when do I have the time to go watch movies with you? Alright, I won’t chat anymore, you guys continue eating."

After saying that, Miao Qingqing hung up the phone, but it was clear from her words that she was pleased.

Miao Xuanxuan poked Song Xiaodong and said teasingly, "Look at you, Dongzi, being so naughty, tricking my sister and not even saying we’re going to watch a movie."

Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Qingqing is probably very sensitive right now. Deceiving her is just to ensure she maintains a good mindset."

Miao Xuanxuan smiled sweetly and said, "Alright, I support you. But you really should take my sister out to a movie or something. When you mentioned going to a movie earlier, I felt so happy. My sister would feel the same."

Song Xiaodong nodded, "I do feel like I owe you both quite a lot, so I need to treat you even better in the future. Otherwise, when will I be able to help your sister let go of this issue?"

"Go on... I know all about your cunning plans. You just want to sleep in the same bed, you dirty brother-in-law," she teased.

In Song Xiaodong’s heart, a thought stirred, something he hadn’t dared to consider before, but now it seemed like something he might actually think about.

The two went to the cinema, snuggling together to watch the movie. Whether the movie was good or not wasn’t important; what mattered most was the mood of watching the movie, you feeding me popcorn, me feeding you pistachios—it was incredibly sweet.

Past eleven, Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan finally returned to the hotel. As soon as they reached the entrance of the hotel, they saw Wei Yansong and a few classmates coming in.

"Oh, you guys are just coming back too?" Wei Yansong greeted Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan.

Miao Xuanxuan smiled and said, "Yeah."

"Have you booked your rooms yet? Do you want me to book one for you too?" Wei Yansong offered generously.

Miao Xuanxuan said with a smile, "No need, we’ve already booked a room."

Wei Yansong immediately asked, "Oh, which floor are you on?"

"We’re staying on the sixteenth floor," Miao Xuanxuan replied, "but we won’t invite you up, we’re enjoying our couple’s world." Then she waved her hand and entered the elevator with Song Xiaodong.

A twitch crossed Wei Yansong’s mouth, his gaze following Miao Xuanxuan’s retreating figure with both envy and longing.

While booking the rooms, everyone had a look at the prices and layouts of various rooms, and then a classmate suddenly said with some surprise, "Sixteenth floor? Those are all luxury suites, costing over three thousand a night."

"Seriously, isn’t Miao Xuanxuan’s boyfriend supposed to be not so wealthy? To stay in a suite that costs three thousand a night, that’s quite lavish."

Wei Yansong was startled for a moment, but then shook his head and said, "It’s normal to splurge a little when you come out occasionally."

Everyone thought that made sense, after all, when you take your girlfriend out, you can’t be stingy. It’s very possible he had been saving up for several months’ salary for this.

Once inside the room, Miao Xuanxuan said cheerfully, "I’m going to take a shower."

Song Xiaodong immediately responded, "I’m going to take one too."

Miao Xuanxuan threw Song Xiaodong a coquettish glance and said, "You bad boy, your fox’s tail is finally showing, isn’t it?"

Song Xiaodong chuckled and replied, "Being with a charming vixen like you, I obviously have to be a male fox to be worthy of you."

"Humph, I won’t be the fox, you can go be the wild beast," laughed Miao Xuanxuan as she went straight into the bathroom without even taking a change of clothes, considering she wouldn’t need them afterwards anyway.

That night, Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan fully indulged in tender pleasures, but Miao Xuanxuan still wouldn’t let Song Xiaodong truly be with her.

In this regard, Miao Xuanxuan had a particular resolve, a form of respect for her sister, a responsibility towards the bond between sisters.

Song Xiaodong didn’t insist. Such a Miao Xuanxuan only made him like her more, love her more, and good things come to those who wait.

They barely slept three hours before getting up. It was Cui Yu’s wedding day, and they were to attend. It wasn’t even six o’clock when the two of them got out of bed.

"Aiya, I’ve got dark circles under my eyes. It’s all your fault for keeping me up so late last night and not letting me sleep," Miao Qingqing complained as she applied her makeup and noticed her dark circles.

Song Xiaodong laughed, "I don’t know who the little rascal was who kept attacking me last night."

Pouting her mouth, Miao Xuanxuan said, "Ah, how dare you say that, I will definitely never treat you like that again."

Bending down, Song Xiaodong kissed her lips and said, "No more talking, I just love the little Xuanxuan from last night. Come, let me take care of this for you; I’ll surely make you the most beautiful Xuanxuan."

Song Xiaodong massaged around Miao Xuanxuan’s eye area for a while, and her dark circles disappeared. She also perked up, and the fatigue from the lack of sleep vanished.

The two went downstairs to meet up with Wei Yansong and the others. Seeing Miao Xuanxuan’s appearance that day, everyone felt she looked even more beautiful, which inevitably filled them with a sour feeling—that was clearly the result of being nourished by love, and thinking about the ways of such nourishment made them feel even worse.

The perfect goddess in their minds was going to pose in bed with another man, how could that possibly make them feel good?
