Chapter 735: Chapter 736: Song Xiaoru Also Lets Go

The next morning, Song Xiaoru arrived at the company with Song Xiaodong.

"Bringing your boyfriend to work now?" a female colleague teased Song Xiaoru with a laugh.

Song Xiaoru was a bit embarrassed and said, "I’ve come to say goodbye to everyone."

"Goodbye?" Several colleagues immediately gathered around.

"Yes, I have to resign. I’m going home," Song Xiaoru said softly, glancing at Song Xiaodong as she spoke.

At that moment, Song Xiaodong’s eyes filled with wild joy. Song Xiaoru’s words meant she had decided to go with him and would no longer avoid him.

"Why leave a job you’re good at?" asked one of the colleagues.

With a smile, Song Xiaoru replied, "I’m going to Minghe City. If you ever have the chance to visit Minghe, you can call me."

"Oh, that’s really a pity. Make sure you come visit us here often."

Wu Zheng hadn’t arrived yet, so Song Xiaoru simply left a resignation letter and left with Song Xiaodong.

The two of them didn’t go straight to Ming River but headed to Tiannan instead, which Song Xiaodong had deliberately arranged. Going back to his original home first would give Song Xiaoru a greater sense of belonging. Spending time with Miao Qingqing first would help Song Xiaoru adjust to her new identity better.

When they exited the airport, Miao Qingqing was already there waiting for them.

"Sister Xiaoru, you’re finally back," Miao Qingqing rushed forward and took Song Xiaoru’s hand.

With some embarrassment, Song Xiaoru said, "I’ve caused you worry."

Miao Qingqing laughed and said, "It’s good you’re back. I really missed you. Without you to help, I’ve been so busy with work that I didn’t know what to do."

Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru had the closest contact, and with Miao Qingqing chatting about work matters, Song Xiaoru quickly felt less awkward.

The three of them had a meal outside before returning home.

"This place feels so empty without you guys; just me alone, it feels really awkward," Miao Qingqing complained as soon as they entered the house.

"Just you here by yourself?" Song Xiaoru asked.

Miao Qingqing nodded and said, "Yeah, everyone went with Dongzi to Ming River, leaving me all alone. It’s been over a month now, and I’ve only seen Dongzi once."

Song Xiaoru looked at Song Xiaodong and then back at Miao Qingqing, "Qingqing really has had it tough. Dongzi, you need to comfort Qingqing well tonight," she said.

Song Xiaodong chuckled, "Of course, I will serve to the utmost, even unto death."

"Get lost," Miao Qingqing’s face flushed, and she spat at Song Xiaodong before teasing him, "Sister Xiaoru, I’ve had people keep your room clean, but ever since you left, this guy has been lazing around in there all the time, and now his stuff is all over."

Laughing, Song Xiaoru replied, "My room is the biggest; he is the head of the family, so it’s only natural for him to stay there."

After a few words, Song Xiaoru said she was tired and went upstairs to take a shower.

Song Xiaodong then embraced Miao Qingqing, whose body went limp. Despite nearly daily video calls, not having seen Song Xiaodong for a month still made it hard to quell the longing.

After a fervent kiss, Miao Qingqing was panting for breath. She pushed Song Xiaodong away and said, "I’m going to take a shower, then we can continue afterward..."

Song Xiaodong said with a playful smile, "Great! We’ll shower together."

Miao Qingqing twisted Song Xiaodong’s arm and said, "Could we even manage to shower properly then?"

"Haha, can’t stand waiting for you to take a shower."

Miao Qingqing replied, "Then go to Sister Xiaoru’s first, and I’ll come up after I’m done showering."

Song Xiaodong responded, "Isn’t that a bit rushed? She’d feel embarrassed. It’s already a lot for her to come back with me."

"Sounds reasonable, but how can I stand you alone? You’d wear me out for sure."

"Then I’ll wear you out first before I go find my sister," Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly, already lifting Miao Qingqing in a princess carry and heading straight into the bathroom.

A little time apart spices up the honeymoon, and since Song Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing had been separated for over a month, one could only imagine how much Miao Qingqing missed him. She gave it her all, knowing full well about Song Xiaodong’s freakish stamina; even if she tried her hardest, he’d still have the energy to attend to Song Xiaoru afterward, so there was no need to worry about leaving Song Xiaoru out in the cold.

Finally, Song Xiaodong satisfied Miao Qingqing, who then let him go and urged him to go to Song Xiaoru’s room.

Song Xiaodong, not bothering to dress, slipped straight into Song Xiaoru’s room. The lights were off, but as soon as he got into bed, he could feel Song Xiaoru’s breath quicken—a clear sign she hadn’t been sleeping.

Song Xiaodong immediately wrapped his arms around Song Xiaoru, and she could no longer pretend to be asleep, giving him a push and complaining, "Why aren’t you properly accompanying Qingqing? Why did you run back here?"

"Qingqing can’t take any more, and besides, I can’t just let my sister sleep alone."

"You were with me all of yesterday; just be with Qingqing tonight, hurry back to her."

"But the way I am now, it would be uncomfortable to go back."

"You bad boy, you... Why are you acting like an animal?"

"Heh heh, otherwise how could I keep my sister satisfied?" Song Xiaodong was no longer as careful when speaking with Song Xiaoru.

After another rousing bout, Song Xiaoru was both excited and exhausted, which finally got Song Xiaodong to settle down.

"Dead tired," Song Xiaoru muttered, then said, "Hurry up and go keep Qingqing company, I want to sleep."

In the midst of talking, the door was pushed open and Miao Qingqing walked straight in. Song Xiaoru was mortified and quickly pulled the covers over herself, not daring to show her face and said, "Qingqing, you..."

Miao Qingqing climbed onto the bed and said, "I still want to sleep with Dongzi holding me."

"Then go back to your own room," said Song Xiaoru, her face red.

But Miao Qingqing replied, "Dongzi surely can’t bear to leave you either. Let’s just sleep together without doing anything else." Saying so, she had already snuggled up to Song Xiaodong.

"You... Qingqing, when did you become so thick-skinned?" said Song Xiaoru in an embarrassed tone.

Miao Qingqing laughed and replied, "I’ve been influenced by them after all. Since it’s come to this, and I don’t like sleeping alone, I might as well be a bit shameless."

At that point, Song Xiaoru didn’t feel right kicking Miao Qingqing out, and if she was honest, she really did enjoy Song Xiaodong’s embrace and desperately wanted to fall asleep nestled against him, especially after being so exhausted. After a few words, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

With Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru in his arms, Song Xiaodong felt an indescribable sense of fulfillment. Starting now, his sister Song Xiaoru had adjusted to life at home and wouldn’t leave him anymore.
