Chapter 138: Da Yizi's Love-Confused Turmoil

Da Yizi also lifted the corner of her mouth, revealing a long‑absent smile.

Singing is her second life; nothing makes her happier than singing.

…

After the daughter‑in‑law and Da Yizi lingered in Xiangjiang for over ten days, Xu Yuexin and the two of them returned to Jingcheng and began writing a song for Da Yizi.

"From that distant seashore, you who slowly fade away…"

Behind the desk, Xu Yuexin wrote each word slowly, and even couldn't help humming.

After finishing, Xu Yuexin tucked the notebook containing the lyrics and melody, and rode his motorcycle to Tuanjie Lake.

Before twisting the throttle, he first put on a helmet.

He couldn't go without it; winter in Si Jiu Cheng is just too cold.

Especially now, Jingcheng hasn't built many tall buildings yet, so the heat‑island effect is weak and the perceived temperature is noticeably lower than in later winters.

Boom!

With the helmet on, Xu Yuexin twisted the throttle and drove out of the alley onto Dong Erhuan.

Looking outward from Dong Erhuan, he could see construction sites everywhere, a scene of bustling activity.

After the grand conference three years ago, the state rolled out a bundle of infrastructure plans, and everywhere began building towers and repairing roads.

The slogan "To get rich, first build roads" was coined at that time.

Jingcheng's infrastructure projects have already taken the lead; the closure and completion of the Third Ring Road at the end of last year was a landmark event.

Xu Yuexin sped from Dong Erhuan, quickly entered East Third Ring, and arrived at Tuanjie Lake at Da Yizi's home.

Da Yizi was playing the piano at home; she stood up when she saw him.

"The song's finished; take a look."

Xu Yuexin pulled the still‑warm notebook from his chest and handed it to her.

"It's called Da Hai, right…?"

Da Yizi took the notebook and examined it carefully.

"The song is good, the pitch is high."

After reading the lyrics and melody in the notebook, Da Yizi commented.

"Then can you sing it?"

"No problem, I can sing it right now."

"Alright, I'll go contact the recording studio."

Xu Yuexin said.

…

A few days later, Xu Yuexin arranged a recording studio through Gong Ruxue, and went with Da Yizi to record a cassette.

Recording is hard work; by the time they achieved the desired result, it was already late night.

Xu Yuexin, clutching the cassette, walked out of the Cultural Troupe courtyard with Da Yizi, and both kept exhaling onto their hands to keep warm.

Even so, Da Yizi still showed an excited expression.

"This song should be very popular."

"It's my first time singing this kind of song, too."

"Hmm, it has to fetch a good price."

Xu Yuexin pushed the motorcycle to the yard entrance, stepped up, and said, "Come up quickly."

After Da Yizi settled on the back seat, he slammed the throttle and headed east.

The motorcycle raced along, and in just a few dozen minutes the two arrived at Tuanjie Lake.

After parking, Xu Yuexin and Da Yizi went upstairs together.

"Take a shower, it'll warm you up."

Xu Yuexin turned the heating to full, then turned on the water heater and entered the bathroom.

After showering, Xu Yuexin, wearing only boxer shorts, came out of the bathroom, looked at Da Yizi sitting inside the master bedroom doorway and said, "I'm done; do you want to shower?"

Da Yizi looked up, saw he was only in boxer shorts, and quickly averted his gaze, "I'll shower."

"Wear more, don't catch a chill."

Da Yizi was probably worried about more than just catching a chill.

Xu Yuexin smiled silently.

Soon, the bathroom echoed with Da Yizi's rustling as she undressed, followed by the patter of water.

Xu Yuexin listened to the sounds, lying in the quilt, eyes closed, until Da Yizi's displeased voice reached his ears.

"How did you end up sleeping on my bed?"

At the bedroom doorway, Da Yizi, wearing a white silk bathrobe, frowned at him and said, "Your bed is my bed."

Xu Yuexin, still with his eyes closed, replied slowly, even turning over, "If you have a problem, you can sleep outside."

"Fine, you are ruthless then."

Da Yizi rolled her eyes, placed a hand on her forehead and turned to the secondary bedroom.

When she entered the secondary bedroom, she found, oh dear, the pillows, blankets and sheets upstairs were all gone.

Good for Xu Yuexin, he must have done it on purpose, right?

Da Yizi, a bit angry, turned back to the master bedroom bedside, patted the tightly‑wrapped Xu Yuexin and asked, "Where did you hide the blanket and sheets?"

"I don't know; you look for them yourself."

Xu Yuexin, still drowsy, said.

Still playing dumb.

Da Yizi, in a fit of anger, grabbed the corner of the quilt, trying to lift the blanket.

At that moment, Xu Yuexin decisively seized Da Yizi's hand and pulled her back into the bedding.

"Let go of me, you…"

Da Yizi tried to escape from the bedding, but he held her tightly.

"Isn't this warm enough?"

Xu Yuexin placed a kiss on her earlobe and said, "Why run?"

After speaking, his large hand began to undo the belt of the white Bathrobe, launching an assault on Da Yizi's body.

As Xu Yuexin's relentless advances continued, Da Yizi's breathing visibly grew uneven, and her peach‑blossom eyes gradually showed an expression of intolerance.

"Hmm… messed up again, right?" Da Yizi pressed Xu Yuexin, lightly panting as she turned her head, her face bearing angry resentment, and said.

"Write a new song, celebrate a bit."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he lightly patted Da Yizi's pert buttocks, stepped forward and pressed his lips against hers.

"Um…"

Da Yizi gave a light push, but it was unsuccessful.

The large bed that held the two of them immediately began to creak and sway…

…

The next morning at dawn, when Xu Yuexin woke up, he reached out and felt beside him before opening his eyes.

Hmm, Da Yizi was still there, hadn't fled.

Xu Yuexin casually pulled her warm, fragrant, jade‑soft body into his arms, provoking a dissatisfied voice: "Will you ever let anyone sleep…"

Fine, last night was indeed a bit too late.

He didn't know the exact hour, but when Xu Yuexin last looked at the clock it was already 4 o'clock.

Considering Da Yizi's tolerance, he'll let her off for now.

Xu Yuexin, holding Da Yizi's willow‑like waist, thought to himself.

Counting it up, this was only the second time the two had spent the night together.

Not until the sun was three rods high did Da Yizi slowly wake up.

The first thing she did after waking was to wrench herself out of Xu Yuexin's embrace, creating a full meter of space on the large bed.

The result was that the blanket on Xu Yuexin's body was completely rolled away, leaving only a pair of Underpants on him.

"Are you trying to murder your husband, freeze me to death?"

Noticing the displeasure in Da Yizi's eyes, Xu Yuexin preemptively launched a rebuttal.

"I'm not such a rogue husband as you are."

Da Yizi's phoenix eyes held authority as she sneered, "You be sensible yourself, go do whatever you need to do."

"Oh."

Xu Yuexin understood Da Yizi's meaning, realizing she didn't want him to stay on this bed.

Fine, since she won't stay, he'll just leave.

Xu Yuexin sluggishly rose from the bed, then sluggishly put on his clothes, and walked toward the room's doorway.

At the moment before leaving, he deliberately went around Da Yizi, and, through the blanket, gave a hard slap on her pert buttocks.

"Vulgar!"

Da Yizi, wrapped in the blanket, said coldly.

Xu Yuexin pursed his lips, saying nothing: "You just want a quick verbal thrill, huh? Wait until I employ my tactics later, when Da Yizi cries."
