Chapter 1643

At night, in the study.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"Hehe, what are you looking at so intently?"

"Come on, I'm not looking at anything in particular."

"Are you sure? Maybe I was mistaken then."

"Isn't it strange that you're becoming more and more beautiful?"

"You, always saying things like that. But you're not wrong."

"Um, let's watch a movie. The new Superman movie is out. Let's watch it."

Opening the downloaded file, Dong Xuebing turned back to sit down, but there was only a small sofa in front of the computer desk, and Su Jia had already sat on it. Dong Xuebing had to bring a chair over, but the liquid crystal screen looked discolored from the side and unclear. After trying for a while, Dong Xuebing couldn't find a good position with the chair because the small sofa was taking up most of the space.

Dong Xuebing said, "The colors seem a bit off."

Su Jia patted the sofa's armrest, "Then sit here."

"Okay." Dong Xuebing didn't hesitate. They had known each other for a long time and were quite familiar with each other, so he didn't feel awkward. He sat on the sofa's armrest, leaning against the backrest, feeling a bit cramped but still manageable.

The movie began.

They both watched, but Dong Xuebing got bored after about twenty minutes. He didn't like this movie; it had too many flashbacks, and the plot wasn't as gripping as the earlier ones. It was probably a personal preference, but Su Jia seemed to enjoy it. Dong Xuebing yawned and started drinking tea while scanning the room. Eventually, his gaze fell on Su Jia. He thought she looked better than the movie. Since Dong Xuebing was sitting on the armrest, he was a bit taller than Su Jia, so he had an excellent angle to sneak a peek at her neckline. Su Jia was wearing a small sweater with a lot of fluff on her upper body. It was a loose-fitting style, and she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

One minute passed.

Three minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

Su Jia finally moved and changed her posture so that she could continue watching the movie. As she moved, the neckline of her sweater bulged out, and Dong Xuebing finally saw a glimpse of a light blue bra underneath. It wasn't very big, nor was it very deep, but it had its charm. Dong Xuebing, who was used to seeing voluptuous figures, still enjoyed this sight. It was a change of pace; he believed that beauty came in all shapes and sizes. Dong Xuebing never had a particular preference, so he wasn't sure if it was an advantage or a disadvantage.

"It's good," Su Jia suddenly said.

Dong Xuebing instinctively responded, "Yeah, it's good."

Su Jia said, "I didn't used to like watching action movies like this, but now I think they're not bad. We should go to the cinema; I heard it's in 3D."

Dong Xuebing withdrew his gaze from her neckline, "You should have said so earlier. We could have gone to the cinema together. It's not far; there are several nearby."

Su Jia laughed, "Come on, it's already late."

Dong Xuebing said, "It doesn't matter; there's no rush. Aren't you staying here?"

"Yeah, where did you arrange for me to stay?" Su Jia turned her head.

Dong Xuebing smiled, "Of course, I'll give you the best one. You can stay in the north room, and I'll sleep in the west room."

Su Jia said, "The north room is where you stay. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to take your place."

Dong Xuebing politely replied, "It's all up to you. I'm fine; I can sleep anywhere. You should take the north room since you haven't stayed in a quadrangle courtyard before. It's the best place, warm in winter and cool in summer, with excellent lighting." He paused for a moment. "You go ahead and watch; I'm not very interested in this movie. I'll tidy up the house and change the bedding for you." With that, Dong Xuebing made an excuse to leave, returned to the north room, and lit a cigarette.

About an hour later, Su Jia came out of the study. "Xiao Bing, I'm done watching. I've also shut down the computer."

"Ah, alright." Dong Xuebing opened the door to the north room. "It's already past ten; you should rest early. You have things to do tomorrow, right?"

Su Jia smiled and nodded. "I have to go to CCTV."

Dong Xuebing said, "That's it. I've prepared the bed for you and changed the bedding."

"Okay." Su Jia went to freshen up and then entered the north room.

Dong Xuebing naturally didn't follow her in. Instead, he went to the study to turn off the lights, brushed his teeth, and washed his face. Finally, he prepared to go to the west room to sleep. However, as he walked through the courtyard, Dong Xuebing was startled to see the shadow on the window of the main room in the north room. The light was inside, and a woman's shadow was directly projected onto the thin curtain. The woman was fumbling with something behind her back. After a moment, she took something off, presumably her bra. Then, the shadow bent over and continued fumbling below.

It was quite an exciting sight.

Dong Xuebing couldn't help but stop and stare. He felt emboldened since the curtain was drawn and nothing could be seen from the outside.

One item.

Two items.

The woman seemed to have finished undressing. She moved a few steps and headed towards the bed. Soon, the light went out with a click, leaving everything pitch black, and Dong Xuebing couldn't see anything anymore.

Afraid of being caught, Dong Xuebing quickly and quietly opened the door to the west room and went in. Thinking back to the earlier scene, his heart raced.

Ring, ring, ring.

The phone rang.

It was from Dong Xuebing's mother, Luan Xiaoping.

Dong Xuebing immediately answered, "Mom, what's up?"

"Are you at home?" Luan Xiaoping said.

Dong Xuebing said, " I just watched a movie with Su Jia. Her classmate's gathering is over, too, and she said she's going to CCTV. It's a pretty good place."

Luan Xiaoping frowned. "It's so late, and is Xiao Su going back?"

Dong Xuebing said, "No, Su Jia is staying here. Anyway, there are plenty of rooms."

Dong Xuebing didn't think much of it, but Luan Xiaoping became concerned. Her tone became serious. "How could you let her stay? Xiao Su is your Uncle Yang's niece, and she's also your sister now. You better not have any ideas about Xiao Su, you hear me?"

Dong Xuebing was speechless. "Mom, what are you thinking?"

Luan Xiaoping huffed, "Mom's just giving you a warning. Don't think about Xiao Su just because she's pretty and unmarried. You hear me?"

Dong Xuebing retorted, "Am I that kind of person?"

His mother said, "Just be careful. Don't cause trouble for Mom. If you do anything to Xiao Su, your Uncle Yang will beat you to death."

"It's not even a possibility," Dong Xuebing sighed. "I'm hanging up; the more you say, the more chaotic it gets."
