Chapter 393: Chapter 394 Ready to Suit Up
Song Xiaodong felt a warmth in his heart; it was the first time Miao Qingqing had been so bold in front of him. Watching her remove her clothes one by one until she was down to a bikini, Song Xiaodong couldnât help himself and went over to hug her immediately.
"I... Iâm changing, donât mess around," Miao Qingqing turned her head away, not daring to meet Song Xiaodongâs gaze, her voice trembling a little.
Song Xiaodong gently stroked Miao Qingqingâs back, saying softly, "Qingqing, youâre so beautiful."
"You... I... Iâm going to take a bath, stop it."
"Hmm, go ahead, Iâve already finished mine, Iâll just wait for you here," Song Xiaodong did not persist in troubling Miao Qingqing further and let her go.
Miao Qingqing quickly put on her nightgown, the very one that Miao Xuanxuan had worn earlier. The two of them were just like that, occasionally displaying a kind of unique mental connection.
Miao Qingqing ran out of the bedroom, while Song Xiaodong lay straight down on Miao Qingqingâs bed. At that moment, he felt no excitement or anticipation, just a sense of calmness, with his mind occupied by some questions about his abilities.
Seven years ago, Song Xiaodong was just an ordinary person, only slightly stronger physically. After joining the military, he quickly exhibited unique abilities. Five years ago, he was transferred to a mysterious organization within a military unit, where Song Xiaodong encountered more profound things, and it was there that he learned medical skills, which significantly boosted his strength.
But this past year, Song Xiaodong felt he had hit a bottleneck with his strength, which no amount of combat could help him break through.
One of the reasons he returned to city life was to change his environment in the hopes of finding a new breakthrough.
Today, as his state of mind relaxed, the bottleneck that had been bogging him down seemed to loosen ever so slightly, an extraordinary sensation. Song Xiaodong couldnât explain it; it wasnât something that one could understand unless they were a truly top-notch expert.
The door opened, and Miao Qingqing walked in again, still wearing the same nightgown, though it seemed she wasnât wearing a bra underneath, as its outline was quite obvious.
Miao Qingqing closed the door and then quietly pushed down the lock before slowly making her way to the bed.
Song Xiaodong watched Miao Qingqing in silence, with a gentle smile on his face, differing from his usual rascal-like grin. Instead, it carried a sense of peaceful composure, which relaxed Miao Qingqingâs initially tense mood upon seeing it.
"What are you smiling at?" Miao Qingqing sat down, twisted her body, and climbed onto the bed, removing the towel from her head to wipe her still-damp hair.
Song Xiaodong sat up and said, "Let me help you with that." He took the towel from Miao Qingqingâs hands and began to carefully dry her hair.
"Dongzi, why does it feel like youâre different from usual?" Miao Qingqing enjoyed Song Xiaodongâs attentiveness and couldnât help asking.
Song Xiaodong cracked a slight smile, replying, "Of course, Iâm different. Before, I always thought about taking advantage of you, but now that youâre my true girlfriend, I definitely canât treat you like I did before."
"You being like this... actually makes me feel a little uncomfortable," Miao Qingqing turned her head to glance at Song Xiaodong.
"Oh? Do you feel better now, or did you prefer how things were before?" Song Xiaodong asked with a smile.
"This... Itâs hard to say. When you were like before, Iâd feel very nervous around you, but I didnât dislike it. But now, I actually find myself feeling pretty relaxed."
Song Xiaodong said, "Actually, the boyfriend youâre really looking for should be someone suave, cultured, and refined, so itâs understandable that youâd have some difficulty accepting my previous self."
"Youâre making a lot of sense. I used to wonder why I never felt strongly about you, and now I realize you werenât my type. Ah, sorry, I donât mean to go back on my word. I, Miao Qingqing, always keep my promises. Iâll be your girlfriend and wonât go back on it."
Song Xiaodong put down the towel, took Miao Qingqing by the shoulders, and had her face him as he said, "Qingqing, donât force yourself. Men and women are different. A man just needs to find the woman in front of him acceptable, and they can get into bed right away. But itâs different for women. They can only let go in bed if theyâve genuinely accepted the other person in their heart. Otherwise, even if they end up in bed, it wonât feel right. I, Song Xiaodong, may be quite lecherous, but I really donât like women who canât let go. If itâs forced, then I find it meaningless."
"You... You mean, even if I donât agree today, you wonât blame me?" Miao Qingqing looked at Song Xiaodong in surprise.
"Yeah, whatâs there to blame you for? Iâm not clueless about our relationship. Even if I got you like this, it wouldnât be fun for me. For me, Song Xiaodong, if a womanâs going to get into bed with me, she has to be wholeheartedly willing."
There was a faint smile on Song Xiaodongâs face, yet in his gaze there was a sense of confidence and determination.
Miao Qingqing met his gaze, and at that moment, she felt truly intoxicated, saying, "Dongzi, seeing you like this, I actually find myself starting to like you."
"Ha... Exactly," said Song Xiaodong as he placed his right hand on Miao Qingqingâs left breast, continuing, "To act according to oneâs true feelings is what brings the most happiness. I donât want my woman to always have a knot in her heart. If that knot canât be untied, and one day she puts a green hat on me, that would drive me crazy."
"You jerk, do I, Miao Qingqing, seem like that kind of person?" Miao Qingqing glared at Song Xiaodong.
"My bad," said Song Xiaodong with an easy laugh.
Miao Qingqing looked at Song Xiaodong for a good ten seconds and then gently shook her head, saying, "Dongzi, you donât have to change yourself so drastically just to please me. This change is too drastic for me; it makes me uncomfortable."
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "Well, youâre wrong about that. Iâm not changing myself just to please you. Everything Iâm doing now is led by my true feelings."
"True feelings?" Miao Qingqing was still confused.
Patting Miao Qingqingâs shoulder, Song Xiaodong said, "Alright, stop overthinking it. Regardless, Iâm staying at your place tonight."
"This... Okay!" Miao Qingqing, who had prepared in advance, blushed and handed a square plastic packet to Song Xiaodong, saying, "Sorry, Iâm not ready for kids so soon, so you... youâll have to wear this."
Song Xiaodong took the item, a playful look appearing on his face all of a sudden. Miao Qingqing sure was well-prepared, even having condoms ready.
