Chapter 140: Bringing Zhao Ruyi Home

Ning Weidong proposed to Zhao Ruyi that he wanted to meet her father next week.

Regarding Ning Weidong's request, Zhao Ruyi readily agreed.

In fact, after establishing a relationship with Ning Weidong, Zhao Ruyi had wanted to bring Ning Weidong home for her father to see.

Once they had met each other's parents, their affairs would be settled.

It was just that there had been no opportunity before, and the timing was not quite mature.

However, after meeting with the Li siblings today, the subsequent cooperative relationship was largely finalized, which in a sense counted as gaining the recognition of the Li Family.

With this connection, Ning Weidong's status invisibly rose with the tide.

Added to the fact that the matter regarding the An Family also needed a resolution, it was time for Ning Weidong, and he must, go to meet the elders of the Zhao Family.

But having said that, this matter could not be decided just by Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyi discussing it.

Zhao Ruyi had to go home and ask her father.

Firstly, whether the father of Zhao was willing to see Ning Weidong, and secondly, whether there was time.

After all, the father of Zhao was not an ordinary person; his time every day was, if not dealing with ten thousand tasks, then not far off, and even on Sunday, he might not necessarily have free time.

After finishing this matter, Ning Weidong chuckled, winked at Zhao Ruyi, and said, "Where are you going next? Why don't you come to my place and sit for a while?"

Zhao Ruyi's face turned red; knowing what this guy Ning Weidong was thinking, she couldn't help but lower her head to avoid his burning gaze, whispering, "I'm not going, you don't have good intentions?"

How could Ning Weidong not see that she was pretending to be reserved.

Before, when the two were together, they had kissed what should be kissed and touched what should be touched, only missing breaking through the final layer of window paper.

By comparison, Ning Weidong was an experienced person and instead didn't have that many expectations and fantasies.

Zhao Ruyi, however, was a proper maiden, already teased to the point by Ning Weidong, but as a girl, she was reserved and embarrassed to show it.

Ning Weidong knew that the more it was this time, the more he had to put in effort, otherwise the fat meat at his mouth would run away.

Pushing the bicycle with one hand and grabbing Zhao Ruyi's small hand with the other, he squeezed it and said, "You promised me last time that you would come to my place to help me tidy up the room, why have you changed your mind again?"

Zhao Ruyi blinked her eyes and asked a question she knew the answer to: "Just let me help you tidy up the room?"

Ning Weidong smiled and said, "What else could we do?" As he spoke, he reached out and tapped Zhao Ruyi's head not too lightly or heavily: "You little girl, what are you thinking about in your head all day?"

Zhao Ruyi couldn't describe the complex emotions in her heart; while feeling relieved, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

She said with composure, "That's true, you are a big man living alone, you do need a woman to take care of you, so I will reluctantly help you."

"Then hurry up, get on the bike~" Ning Weidong said, patting the bicycle saddle, striding his long legs to mount it, and kicking forward with force, the bicycle darted forward.

Zhao Ruyi chased closely for two steps behind, gave a little jump, and sat on it.

More than half an hour later.

Ning Weidong rode the bicycle, carrying Zhao Ruyi as he turned from Fuchengmen Street into the alley.

Because it was Sunday, the alley was bustling with people coming and going, livelier than usual.

Ning Weidong couldn't ride through anymore, so he squeezed the brake to stop and led Zhao Ruyi inside at a leisurely pace.

Living in the alley, everyone knew each other more or less.

Especially Ning Weidong, who had recently become a celebrity in the vicinity; anyone who bumped into him had to greet him.

Seeing him bring a girl back today, they had to look a few more times.

Moreover, Zhao Ruyi's appearance was eye-catching; she was tall and beautiful, standing out exceptionally when she stood there.

Ning Weidong was smiling happily, and Zhao Ruyi was a bit shy, but she did not show timidity.

The two of them were about to reach the entrance of the Dazayuan.

Just at this moment, Lu Daye and Lu Dama came out from the gate one after another.

Seeing Ning Weidong, the two were stunned for a moment, and then they saw Zhao Ruyi beside him.

The red mark in the middle of Lu Dama's forehead twitched violently, and she couldn't help but carefully size up Zhao Ruyi with her eyes.

Although they weren't holding hands, from the distance between the two, one could tell that the relationship was not ordinary for Ning Weidong to be able to bring her home.

Previously, Bai Fengyu had entrusted Lu Dama to introduce her cousin Bai Fengqin to Ning Weidong.

In Lu Dama's view, the girl Bai Fengqin had an extremely good appearance and figure, and she was a high school student with an education.

Although her family situation was a bit worse, considering everything, she was perfectly worthy of Ning Weidong.

But who would have thought that this kid Ning Weidong would refuse without hesitation.

This made Lu Dama hold a grudge in her heart; she wanted to see what kind of person Ning Weidong would eventually find.

So seeing Zhao Ruyi appear today, Lu Dama observed with extra attention.

This look was significant; Lu Dama's heart skipped a beat.

Although she didn't work, Lu Daye was originally a Level 7 Worker at the Manager, a person of status in this area.

Lu Dama borrowed some of that light and could be considered to have some experience.

Plus, she was keen on introducing partners to people, and she had seen all kinds of people.

At this glance, she could tell that Zhao Ruyi did not come from an ordinary family.

"Oh my~ Lu Daye, Lu Dama, where are you two going?" Ning Weidong greeted with a smile.

"Going out to buy some grain, the rice jar at home is bottoming out," Lu Daye replied with a smile.

Lu Dama nodded on the side and immediately pulled the topic to Zhao Ruyi, asking, "Who is this girl? She looks really pretty."

Ning Weidong introduced with a smile, "This is my friend, her name is Zhao Ruyi."

He then introduced to Zhao Ruyi, "Ruyi, this is Lu Daye and Lu Dama. Lu Daye is the Courtyard Elder of our courtyard, and he has taken special care of me since I was small."

Zhao Ruyi nodded quickly and greeted them.

Lu Daye responded, while Lu Dama stepped forward and clicked her tongue, saying, "Girl, you must be over 1.7 meters tall, right?"

Zhao Ruyi hummed and said, "One meter seventy-three."

Regarding this height of hers, although she didn't say it out loud before, she had always been a bit self-conscious about it in her heart.

In this era, a girl reaching 1.63 meters is generally not considered short, and even if a man reaches 1.73 meters, it can be called an average height.

Yet, Zhao Ruyi happens to like wearing high heels.

It is not that she has any special preference for high heels; it is just that wearing them makes her feet look smaller.

Zhao Ruyi is tall, and her feet are also large.

She has to wear a size 39 shoe, two or three sizes larger than the average woman, which forces her to make a choice between two dilemmas.

Fortunately, there is now Ning Weidong, with his 1.85-meter height and sturdy, broad-shouldered physique; standing beside him, Zhao Ruyi's robustness is not apparent at all.

Therefore, when facing Lu Dama's inquiry, Zhao Ruyi did not show the slightest bit of shyness.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the four of them passed each other.

Lu Daye and Lu Dama could not help but turn their heads, watching Ning Weidong and his companion push their bicycles into the courtyard gate.

Lu Dama could not help but click her tongue and say, "You know, this Ning Family boy is really something; one look at this girl and you can tell she isn't from an ordinary family."

Lu Daye said, "As if you needed to tell me."

Lu Dama sighed, "No wonder he didn't think much of that Bai Family girl back then."

At the same time, Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyi arrived in the courtyard.

Zhao Ruyi's appearance once again attracted a wave of attention.

They turned and entered the East Cross Courtyard, just in time to see Bai Fengyu leaning on a pair of crutches, drying a quilt in the yard.

Ning Weidong called out, "Sister."

When Bai Fengyu turned her head and saw Zhao Ruyi standing beside Ning Weidong, she felt a bitter taste in her heart.

But it was only for an instant; a smile appeared on her face as she went up to them and said, "Weidong, is this your partner? Aren't you going to introduce her to your sister?"

Ning Weidong introduced Zhao Ruyi with a chuckle, then turned to Zhao Ruyi and introduced, "Ruyi, this is Sister Fengyu; she has taken good care of me since I was a child."

In truth, there was a great deal of exaggeration in Ning Weidong's words.

By the time Bai Fengyu married into the courtyard, he had already gone to the Northeast to work in the countryside, so it could hardly be called "since he was a child."

It was only recently that Bai Fengyu had truly been "taking care" of him quite a bit.

Even so, when Zhao Ruyi saw Bai Fengyu appear, a sense of hostility instinctively welled up in her heart, and she carefully sized up the beautiful young woman.

It must be said, Bai Fengyu's appearance was indeed beautiful, especially in this era with few cosmetics; just standing there was enough to make people look twice.

"Sister Fengyu, hello." Zhao Ruyi stood beside Ning Weidong and greeted her, without further conversation.

She turned to look left and right, and finally, her gaze fell on the North Room as she asked, "Weidong, is this your home?"

Ning Weidong gave a hum, nodded to Bai Fengyu, and then stepped onto the threshold with Zhao Ruyi and walked into the house.

Bai Fengyu remained where she was, watching their backs, and pursed her lips with complex emotions.

Although she knew that, given her situation, it was impossible for her to have a future with Ning Weidong.

But knowing it in her heart was one thing; when the matter was right before her eyes, it still made her feel miserable.

Watching the two of them enter the house, Bai Fengyu could not help but let out a long sigh, looked down at her injured leg, and calculated in her heart that she would be able to have the cast removed in about a few more days.

Arriving inside the house.

Zhao Ruyi looked over the furniture and decor, and said with a bit of sarcasm, "I couldn't tell, your courtyard produces beauties? First there was Bai Fengqin, and now here comes Bai Fengyu; are the two of them sisters?"

Ning Weidong did not take it to heart; he chuckled, closed the door behind him, and went over to hug her and kiss her repeatedly.

Zhao Ruyi struggled and pushed back symbolically, but she could not withstand Ning Weidong's greater strength; after he kissed her a couple of times, he swept her up in a bridal carry and walked toward the inner room.

Zhao Ruyi's face was flushed red; she knew what Ning Weidong wanted to do.

However, since she had come along, she was mentally prepared.

Being placed on the bed by Ning Weidong, he reached out to undo her buttons.

Zhao Ruyi hurriedly pressed his hand down, her voice sounding like a mosquito: "You... you should pull the curtains."

Ning Weidong did not move, but just chuckled and gestured with his chin toward the window.

Zhao Ruyi then realized that the curtains in the inner room were all drawn; they had not been opened at all.

Yet in this moment of distraction, her coat buttons had already been undone by Ning Weidong, and the sweater and shirt underneath were pushed up.

In an instant, goosebumps rose all over Zhao Ruyi's body.

Although the two of them had already had many intimate moments, the settings had never been right—either in the Office or at the cinema—at most, it was just fumbling and stopping at the surface.

Today was different.

Arriving at Ning Weidong's home, with only the two of them in the room and being laid down on the kang, how could Zhao Ruyi not understand what was about to happen?

Her two hands were at a loss, not knowing where to put them.

Logically speaking, as a young woman, she should insist on resisting a little at this time, but she did not want to do that.

Her hands were nowhere to be placed, so she finally just covered her red, burning face and let everything else be.

Seeing this, Ning Weidong was even more nimble.

In the blink of an eye, he stripped her down to a white lamb.

Reaching out to probe, he knew that Zhao Ruyi was already prepared.

Having reached this point, there was no need for any messy tricks; he just went for it.

Zhao Ruyi was older than Ning Weidong and had long since fully matured.

Coupled with her sturdy physique, she was by no means a delicate flower unable to withstand the ravages; she was just unaccustomed to the first few movements, but she quickly entered the state and actually went back and forth with Ning Weidong. It was fortunate that after Ning Weidong transmigrated, his physical fitness was far stronger than an ordinary person's; this enhancement was not merely strength or endurance, but a comprehensive, all-around physical quality.

Even so, it took over 20 minutes of tossing and turning before he suppressed Zhao Ruyi.

After another bout, the first round ended.

Zhao Ruyi was panting heavily, yet she was still unsatisfied, murmuring, "Is this what that thing is?"

This time, the experience was also very different for Ning Weidong.

He had had many women before he transmigrated, including Bai Fengyu after he transmigrated, whose appearance and figure were also top-tier.

However, compared to Zhao Ruyi, those women were all too weak.

Zhao Ruyi was truly strong; if it had been Ning Weidong as an ordinary person before his transmigration, he really wouldn't have been able to subdue her.

At this moment, Zhao Ruyi reached out to proactively tease Ning Weidong, saying naively, "Weidong, I want more."

Riding his bicycle to take Zhao Ruyi home in the evening, Ning Weidong couldn't help but rub his aching lower back.

This afternoon, they had been tossing about until three or four o'clock.

In the end, Zhao Ruyi hadn't been able to help him tidy up the room.

Both of them were exhausted and didn't feel like cooking at home, so they simply ate a bite outside before sending Zhao Ruyi back.

Ning Weidong could feel that after their relationship had a breakthrough, Zhao Ruyi was clearly more intimate with him, and her deep love was undisguised.

Zhao Ruyi was just that kind of person, burning fiercely, like a ball of fire.

Getting on his bicycle, it was already nearly 7 o'clock when Ning Weidong returned home.

It was already dark outside.

Just as Ning Weidong parked his bicycle under the window, he heard the sound of a door opening nearby.

Bai Fengyu came out from the door, and seeing Ning Weidong look over, she couldn't help but pout.

Ning Weidong smiled and walked toward her: "Is your leg feeling any better?"

Bai Fengyu rolled her eyes and replied: "Almost, I can have the cast removed next week."

Ning Weidong said: "That would be great." He smiled meaningfully.

Bai Fengyu huffed indignantly and whispered: "Tossing about for so long this afternoon, and coming to tease me again tonight, aren't you afraid of tiring yourself out?"

Bai Fengyu was an experienced woman, and she paid extra attention to the movements in Ning Weidong's room.

Even though Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyi had deliberately lowered their voices, she could still guess what the two were doing.

Ning Weidong chuckled, leaned in, and said: "That depends on your ability, whether you can tire me out." As he spoke, he glanced into the room: "Is Fengqin not home?"

Bai Fengyu said: "She just said she was going to her classmate's house, she'll be back in a while."

Ning Weidong nodded.

Bai Fengyu added: "That one is the partner Yuzhen introduced to you, right?"

Ning Weidong gave an "mm" and didn't offer much explanation.

He had nothing to explain to Bai Fengyu.

If Bai Fengyu still couldn't recognize her position by now, he would instead have to consider finding an opportunity to end his relationship with her.

Ning Weidong said: "Sister, if there's nothing else, I'm heading back."

Bai Fengyu felt a chill in her heart.

In that instant, she seemed to sense Ning Weidong's mood; Bai Fengyu panicked and hurriedly called out: "Wait a moment."

"Something up?" Ning Weidong stopped and asked.

In fact, he knew very well that Bai Fengyu was waiting for him.

Otherwise, why would she happen to come out of the room just as he returned? Could it be such a coincidence?

Today, Zhao Ruyi coming so openly must have made Bai Fengyu feel the pressure.

Coupled with her injured leg, it made her feel even more insecure and lose her composure.

Realizing Ning Weidong's mood was off, she hurriedly said: "Weidong, don't go yet. I have some things in my room, help me move them."

Ning Weidong was slightly surprised.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, not knowing what medicine Bai Fengyu was selling in her gourd, so he simply followed her into the room to see.

Upon entering the room, there was nothing that needed moving.

Instead, Bai Fengyu followed him in and shut the door behind her.

Before Ning Weidong could speak, she had already thrown away her crutch with teary eyes and lunged into Weidong's arms, looking pitiful like a little puppy: "Weidong~ Sister missed you."

Ning Weidong patted her back gently and comforted her: "Didn't you say you'd be better next week?"

Bai Fengyu blushed and whispered: "But I just missed you."

In fact, what she was truly worried about was that once Ning Weidong had a proper partner, he would stop paying attention to her.

Bai Fengyu's current livelihood was all provided by Ning Weidong.

If she lost Ning Weidong's care, it was questionable whether she could even keep her job as a Temporary Worker at the Neighborhood Committee.

Therefore, Bai Fengyu absolutely could not let Ning Weidong leave her.

Bai Fengyu seemed to have made a great resolution and whispered: "Weidong, although my leg isn't very convenient, but... but I heard..."

She found it hard to say, her voice as quiet as a mosquito.

Ning Weidong couldn't hear her at all and couldn't help but ask: "What did you hear?"

Bai Fengyu gritted her teeth and decided to go for it: "I heard that using... using your mouth is also okay."

Originally, Bai Fengyu really didn't know, but after she started working at the Neighborhood Committee, those old women there would say everything in private, which made her absorb a lot of useless knowledge.

Ning Weidong was stunned.

He really hadn't expected Bai Fengyu to be waiting for him with this, and he couldn't help but feel tempted.

Although he had just released himself two or three times this afternoon, for his age, that was nothing at all.

Furthermore, Ning Weidong's physique was far superior to ordinary people, and he had long since recovered by now.

Now Bai Fengyu was testing him with this.

However, after thinking about it, Ning Weidong still restrained himself.

Mainly because he didn't know when Bai Fengqin would return, and secondly, Bai Fengyu's emotional state was not quite right at the moment.

Although Ning Weidong was no saint, he wouldn't be trapped by such matters of the crotch.

Seeing Bai Fengyu place her hand on his belt, Ning Weidong held her hand down and said, "Sister, you don't need to do this."

Bai Fengyu's movements stiffened; she lowered her head and said nothing.

Ning Weidong sighed and said, "She is her, and you are you; you don't need to worry."

Ning Weidong guessed Bai Fengyu's thoughts.

Bai Fengyu raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and asked, "You won't abandon me, will you?"

Ning Weidong kissed her and said flippantly, "What kind of talk is that? You are so beautiful, how could I bear to?"

With these words, Bai Fengyu finally felt a sense of reassurance.

It wasn't that Ning Weidong's promise carried much weight, but rather that Bai Fengyu was giving herself some comfort.

Ning Weidong patted her back: "Stop overthinking and focus on getting your leg healed."

Bai Fengyu let out an "Mm."

Ning Weidong didn't stay any longer: "Fengqin should be back soon, I'm leaving first."

Bai Fengyu let out another "Mm," wanting to pick up her crutches to follow and see him off.

But because of her earlier impulse, she had thrown both crutches away—one here, one there—and they were truly not easy to retrieve.

Seeing her awkward state, Ning Weidong teased her while helping her pick up the crutches.

Bai Fengyu was both embarrassed and annoyed, and said crossly, "Just go yourself~ I'm not bothering with you anymore."

She turned her body at the edge of the bed, facing the wall to avoid looking at Ning Weidong.

Ning Weidong didn't coax her either; he placed the crutches by her side, said "I'm leaving," and truly left.

Hearing the sound of the outer room door opening, Bai Fengyu exhaled and turned to look toward the door.

She still held a sliver of hope in her heart that Ning Weidong was just teasing her, that he had made the sound of opening the door but hadn't actually left.

Unfortunately, it was destined from the start that Ning Weidong would not spend too much effort coaxing her.

Bai Fengyu sat by the window, but in the end, there was no one there.

She let out a long sigh, which blew the bangs hanging over her forehead.

Ten-odd minutes later, there was movement outside again, and then she heard Bai Fengqin call out, "Sister."

Bai Fengyu snapped back to reality and responded from the inner room: "You're back~"

Bai Fengqin entered from the outer room and asked in surprise, "Sister, you... why are you crying?"

Bai Fengyu wiped her eyes to indicate it was nothing.

Bai Fengqin was relentless: "Sister, tell me, what exactly happened? Did someone bully you?"

When she mentioned "who bullied you," Bai Fengqin didn't know why, but she subconsciously thought of Ning Weidong.

Bai Fengyu revealed a smile: "Silly girl, who could bully me? Your sister is a government worker now."

Bai Fengqin thought that made sense, but she was still suspicious: "Then you..."

Bai Fengyu told a lie: "I wasn't paying attention just now, my leg hit the bed, and it hurt so much I cried."

Bai Fengqin breathed a sigh of relief, bending down to check while scolding: "You really should be more careful, are you alright~"

Bai Fengyu indicated she was fine and urged Bai Fengqin to hurry up and study.

Bai Fengqin didn't move, bit her lip, and said: "Sister, which major do you think I should apply for?"

Bai Fengyu was stunned. If it were anything else, she could offer an opinion, but she really didn't dare speak on the matter of college entrance exams, so she asked: "What did your teacher at school say?"

Bai Fengqin said: "Our teacher Liu suggested I apply for a normal school to become a teacher."

Bai Fengyu heard that Bai Fengqin didn't want to go to a normal school and asked: "Then what are your own thoughts?"

Bai Fengqin shook her head: "I don't know either." Then she bit her lower lip and said: "Sister, do you think Brother Weidong might know someone who understands this?"

In Bai Fengqin's social circle, after thinking it over, it seemed only Ning Weidong might know someone knowledgeable in this area.

Bai Fengyu thought for a moment and said: "Asking him is fine too."

Bai Fengqin let out an "Mm" and stretched her neck to look outside through the window.

Seeing the lights on in Ning Weidong's house, she stood up immediately, gritted her teeth, and said: "Then I'll go now."

Having said that, she ran out in a flurry.

——

I promised eight thousand yesterday, but I actually knew it would be tough. My state has been poor lately, but it finally recovered a bit today, and I wrote six thousand.

I'll work hard tomorrow; definitely eight thousand characters.
