Chapter 734: Chapter 735: Agree to Return Home

When the car reached the restaurant, everyone entered a private room and sat down. Right away, Song Xiaodong said, "Today is all about thanking everyone, so feel free to order whatever you like. Don’t be polite with me."

Song Xiaoru also smiled and said, "I’ve worked here so long and never had a meal with everyone. Today, you really don’t have to be shy."

Wu Zheng deliberately flipped through the menu and said, "Then we’ll really start ordering. The stuff here is pretty expensive. If we order casually, a meal won’t be under two thousand yuan."

"It’s okay." Song Xiaodong said with a smile.

Song Xiaodong and the others were sincere, but the ordinary staff weren’t fools either. Symbolically, each person ordered one dish.

Wu Zheng initially wanted to prank Song Xiaodong, but felt it somewhat embarrassing and ended up not ordering too many expensive items.

Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru lacked the mood to eat. The two held hands under the table, occasionally exchanging fond glances, and only occasionally spoke to the others, clearly distracted.

The colleagues were perceptive. The meal didn’t last long, and Wu Zheng watched with slight annoyance, but he could only look on hungrily. After all, they were a couple, and he had a family business to tend to; he couldn’t just shamelessly intrude.

"This is my business card. If any of you face difficult issues in the future, you can call me. It’s also my way of saying thanks for taking care of my sister all this time."

Song Xiaodong handed out a business card to each person, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left with Song Xiaoru.

The colleagues all kept their cards. Wu Zheng turned and looked at the card, which aside from Song Xiaodong’s name, only had a mobile number. He scoffed and said, "Not even a title, and he prints cards, how boring."

Saying this, Wu Zheng casually tossed the card into the trash can.

What he didn’t know was that his casual discard cost him a great opportunity for wealth. Life is full of chances, but often when an opportunity is handed right to you, you just toss it aside. By the time you realize what you’ve lost, it’s too late for regrets.

Song Xiaodong went with Song Xiaoru to her residence.

It was an old residential complex. The houses within were all old, and the house where Song Xiaoru rented had only one bedroom, a tiny living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, with not even a dining room. Altogether, it was less than thirty square meters.

"Sis!" As the door closed, Song Xiaodong immediately hugged Song Xiaoru.

"Dongzi..." Song Xiaoru nestled in Song Xiaodong’s arms, also holding him tightly.

"I’ve missed you so much." Song Xiaodong gazed into Song Xiaoru’s eyes.

"I... have missed you too." At that moment, Song Xiaoru couldn’t hold back her true feelings.

Their eyes met, and then their faces slowly drew closer, lips meeting in a passionate kiss, as if they were trying to melt their longing into that single embrace.

As they kissed, they soon rolled onto the bed. Clothes were quickly shed and thrown to the floor, everything happening so naturally, so inevitably.

It was a long while before the room quieted down, and Song Xiaoru lay snuggled up to Song Xiaodong, her face still flushed with the excitement.

"Sis, will you come home with me?" Song Xiaodong gently kissed her face and looked into her eyes.

"This..." Song Xiaoru met Song Xiaodong’s eyes, her face revealing a bitter smile. "I really don’t know how to face Qingqing and the others."

With a gentle voice, Song Xiaodong said, "There’s nothing you can’t face. After such a long time, everyone has long stopped overthinking it. They’re even urging me to bring you back sooner."

"But... I always feel awkward, I’m your sister, yet now, with you... I feel embarrassed."

"Sister, that’s just what you think. Nobody thinks that way now. We have no blood relations, we grew up together, and our bond is unmatched by anyone else. They all understand."

"Dongzi, I know... but I just can’t get past this feeling. I can’t even explain what it is."

Song Xiaodong was also somewhat frustrated and said, "Well, the New Year is coming. How about you come back with me for now? If you get past this feeling, you can stay at home. If you can’t, and you want to leave, I won’t stop you."

"You... would you really let me go then?" Song Xiaoru gave Song Xiaodong a glance.

"I can’t guarantee it for others, but no matter what decision you make, I will support you in this lifetime, and I will never make you feel awkward. This is a lifelong responsibility."

"Alright then, I’ll come back with you." Song Xiaoru finally agreed.

Song Xiaodong was immediately overjoyed and excitedly said, "This is so great, so great!" and then he hugged Song Xiaoru tightly.

"Alright, look at how happy you are, you’re nearly stopping me from breathing." Song Xiaoru felt the genuine excitement from Song Xiaodong and was also deeply gratified. It showed how much Song Xiaodong cared for her. Since their relationship had turned intimate, her mindset had indeed changed.

"Ah... what are you..." Song Xiaoru felt Song Xiaodong’s body change and couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked.

"Hehe, let’s go again," Song Xiaodong said as he flipped over and pressed Song Xiaoru beneath him.

"Didn’t we just finish..." Song Xiaoru asked, her face flushed.

"Hehe... At home, they all sleep with me two or three at a time. One person can’t keep up with me."

"Ah... you little rascal, I’m warning you, even if I come back with you, don’t expect me to do that with you... Being alone together is one thing, but with others around, I would just die of embarrassment."

"Okay, okay, however sister says, that’s how it’ll be."

"That’s better..."

The two of them went at it again, and this time, Song Xiaoru was completely out of strength. She was excited, but the fatigue and weakness were too much for her, and she complained, "You really are a rascal, you’re going to exhaust me to death."

Song Xiaodong hurriedly said, "No more, no more, if my sister gets tired, I really feel bad."

"Hmph, I didn’t see you feeling sorry for me just now; you were just recklessly wearing me out." Song Xiaoru playfully hit Song Xiaodong, her reproach flecked with shyness and satisfaction.

Through this turmoil, Song Xiaoru understood how a conservative girl like Miao Qingqing could agree to be intimate with Song Xiaodong, it was really overwhelming.

But... I can’t join them in such recklessness at most... if I’m out of strength, I’ll let Dongzi go to someone else’s room.
