64: Heavy love

Wu Fan was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Congratulations! That's really great. When is the final?"

Qian Ning replied, "Next Sunday, at 7 PM, at the International Convention and Exhibition Center."

Wu Fan said, "I'll definitely be there to cheer you on. But, has the organizer arranged a place for you to stay that night?" He wore a suggestive expression.

Qian Ning chuckled, "Yes, they have. Why do you ask?"

She was asking knowingly. Wu Fan's question about accommodation was too obvious an insinuation.

Wu Fan said, "I want to be with you. I've missed you so much after all this time."

Qian Ning looked at her phone screen, feeling very happy. She had been waiting for Wu Fan to say those words.

Yet, she deliberately said, "The organizer arranged a five-star hotel. I'm not changing it, it would be too wasteful." She made a playful face.

Wu Fan replied, "I heard there are standalone villa hotels in Hunan Province. How about I arrange one for us?"

Qian Ning didn't say anything more, just sent a grinning emoji.

It should be considered an implicit agreement.

Wu Fan said, "You have to arrange a ticket for me. I'm afraid I won't be able to get one."

Qian Ning said, "I have family tickets, front row. Don't worry."

"OK."

Wu Fan booked a flight for Saturday afternoon on his phone. Arriving a night early would be more reassuring.

Of course, his main intention was to properly 'tame' Qian Ning the night before the competition, and also give her a good massage to relax.

Wu Fan took a deep drag from his cigarette and called Lin Daixi: "What are you doing?"

The voice on the other end was very soft: "Brother Fan, I'm in class."

"What time does class end?"

"It ends in half an hour."

"Can I come to your place and sit for a while? I brought you some local specialties from my hometown yesterday."

"Okay, Brother Fan, you're too kind."

Wu Fan finished his cigarette and drove straight to the rental apartment.

When he knocked and entered, Lin Daixi hadn't returned yet; Mao Jiajia opened the door.

When she saw Wu Fan, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes held a hint of allure.

"Brother Fan, why did you come without even saying hello?"

Wu Fan looked around, "Are you alone?"

Mao Jiajia turned and said, "They all went to class."

Wu Fan looked at her... and swallowed.

He almost couldn't resist reaching out to pat her, but then he felt it might be too abrupt. Although there had been hints during their wechat chat last time, making a move right upon meeting seemed a bit premature.

Wu Fan sat down on the sofa and placed the two large bags he was carrying on the coffee table.

Mao Jiajia went to make Wu Fan a cup of tea, then glanced at the items on the table and asked, "Brother Fan, what good things did you bring?"

As Wu Fan took the teacup, he accidentally touched Mao Jiajia's hand, which was cold.

He then noticed she was wearing a very thin black and white checkered loungewear, and it seemed she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

He couldn't help but joke, "Mao Jiajia, aren't you cold? You're wearing too little. I feel like you're not wearing any clothes."

Mao Jiajia smiled shyly and said, "Brother Fan, your eyes are really sharp. I was sleeping in bed just now, and when I heard the knock, I just casually threw on some clothes."

Wu Fan glanced at her..., "Alright, women are indeed particularly resistant to cold. After all, there's more flesh, haha."

Mao Jiajia said with a blush, "You're annoying."

She swayed her body slightly, her charm fully evident.

Wu Fan swallowed again, averted his gaze, and took out several packs of Fengqiao Xiangfei, Shaoxing Xianggao, andbeans flavored with aniseed (fennel beans) from the bag.

"I brought you some specialties from my hometown. Eat them when you're bored to pass the time. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Mao Jiajia sat down next to Wu Fan, picked up a pack of Xiangfei, and tore it open. "I love fresh Xiangfei; it has a unique fragrance."

Wu Fan smelled a very faint, pleasant aroma.

He cleared his throat and said, "When I was a kid, I hated eating this stuff. It was black and stuck to the flesh, feeling impossible to peel. Only when I grew up did I realize that was because the Xiangfei wasn't fresh."

Mao Jiajia had already started eating. "This Xiangfei is really good. Just scrape it a little with the shell, and the pure white flesh comes out."

She held up a peeled Xiangfei, wiggling it in front of Wu Fan. "Look how white and clean the flesh is."

Wu Fan watched her put the pure white Xiangfei flesh into her mouth and felt a strange urge.

He looked at Mao Jiajia again, her fair cheeks tinged with red, her cherry lips chewing the Xiangfei flesh, making a crisp sound.

He couldn't help but lean closer and say, "Mao Jiajia, when can our storm arrive?"

Mao Jiajia turned her head, their eyes met.

She smiled sweetly and charmingly, "What do you think?"

Her willow-leaf eyebrows raised slightly, full of playful provocation.

She was actually just waiting for Wu Fan to make a move!

Wu Fan couldn't resist raising his left hand, putting his arm around her neck, and kissing her. Their lips and teeth carried the fresh scent of Xiangfei... Just as things were heating up, the sound of the door opening rang out.

The two hurriedly separated.

Lin Daixi and Liu Lei entered, one after the other.

Wu Fan grabbed a tissue, wiped his mouth, and pretended to eat Xiangfei.

Lin Daixi said enviously, "Mao Jiajia, you're having a good time, peeling Xiangfei and playing on your phone."

Mao Jiajia licked her red lips and said, "Come on, eat with us. Brother Fan brought specialties from Shaoxing."

Liu Lei threw her bag down and happily sat next to Wu Fan: "Thanks for the treat, Boss Wu. I won't be polite; I'm quite hungry."

She then started eating generously.

Lin Daixi saw there was no space on the sofa, so she pulled up a chair and sat opposite, also peeling Xiangfei.

The four of them ate Xiangfei and chatted, the atmosphere very harmonious.

Mao Jiajia felt a tickle in her heart. She wanted to continue a deeper interaction with Wu Fan and then get some money from him, but they were interrupted.

Lin Daixi missed Wu Fan very much, and her eyes held deep affection when she looked at him. She wondered if she could go on a date with Wu Fan tonight.

When Wu Fan saw Liu Lei, his heart, however, fell on her.

This woman had an indescribable attraction for him.

It was a very strange feeling.

Anyway, looking at Liu Lei made him feel comfortable; he just wanted to hold her in his arms, wanted to have more intimate contact with her.

To put it nicely, he was smitten; to put it bluntly, he was overcome with lust.

Her every movement, every frown, every smile, stirred Wu Fan's desires.

He glanced at Liu Lei and casually asked, "Where's your classmate Zhou?"

Liu Lei said calmly, "We had a fight. I can't even be bothered with him."

Wu Fan chuckled, "Be a little gentler with your Boyfriend. I think Zhou Tong is a good young man."

Liu Lei sighed softly and said, "He's too jealous, and petty-minded. He completely restricts my freedom. If I say a few words to a male classmate, he gets upset. It's exhausting."

Lin Daixi interjected, "That shows Zhou Tong cares about you! I wish I had a jealous Boyfriend like that; it sounds fun."

After she finished speaking, she gave Wu Fan a meaningful look, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Wu Fan playfully winked at her.

Lin Daixi lowered her gaze, pretending to be diligently peeling Xiangfei.

Liu Lei said very calmly, "That kind of love is too heavy. I still prefer love where both people have some space. Brother Fan, which kind do you prefer?"

She suddenly looked up at Wu Fan...
