Chapter 263: Since we are both adults, there is no need for psychological burden

Mou Lili hurried out, only to see Ling Feng lying on the floor, looking pained.

She couldn't help but go over and ask, "How can you be so restless even while sleeping? Did you fall and hurt yourself anywhere?"

She used force to flip his body over, and finding nothing wrong, she felt relieved.

Ling Feng opened his eyes, recognized Mou Lili, and then grabbed her hand again: "I want to vomit."

Mou Lili didn't want to deal with it, but she had no choice: "Then get up for me."

She used all her strength to help him up, walked with difficulty to the bathroom, and he began to retch as soon as he got near the toilet.

Mou Lili covered her nose and went out, saying indignantly: "Did I owe you in my past life? I've seen you vomit several times now, it stinks to death. Remember to flush the toilet, call me when you're done!"

The sound of flushing came from inside the toilet, but Ling Feng did not come out.

He stayed hunched over inside for a good while before saying: "I think I'm a little better, I want to take a shower."

"Can you manage on your own?" Mou Lili asked.

Ling Feng closed the bathroom door.

Mou Lili also returned to her own room.

She took a shower too, intending to go to sleep once she was finished.

After washing, she draped a bath towel over herself, went out, changed into pajamas, and did her skincare.

Just as she was about to sleep, the room door knocked, and Ling Feng asked from outside: "Are you asleep?"

Mou Lili went to open the door and saw Ling Feng wrapped in a bathrobe.

The collar of the bathrobe was very low, revealing a section of his chest.

He had a bit of chest muscle, though not much; it couldn't be called very firm, but he wasn't scrawny either.

"I was just getting ready to, do you still have something?" she asked.

Ling Feng said: "I want to... chat with you for a while."

Mou Lili hesitated for a moment, then said: "Fine, come in."

The two sat leaning against the bed.

Ling Feng said: "Thank you for taking care of me tonight."

"It's nothing, thank you for bringing me here to let me witness the wedding scene of the wealthy," Mou Lili said.

Ling Feng said: "I don't know why, I don't want to sleep alone."

"Then you can sleep here." Mou Lili yawned and then lay down.

Ling Feng also lay down and turned off the room lights, leaving only the bathroom light on.

The light inside was dim, with a faint sense of ambiguity.

Ling Feng slowly placed his hand on Mou Lili's hand and squeezed it gently.

From the moment he knocked on the door, Mou Lili knew what he wanted to do, but she did not object.

Ling Feng leaned in closer and then gently bit her ear.

Mou Lili asked again: "Do you know who you are kissing?"

"I know," Ling Feng said.

"That's fine then." After saying this, Mou Lili began to respond to him.

As adults, sometimes doing this kind of thing is not for love, but for one's own needs.

Both of them had been empty for too long; he wanted a hearty, uninhibited love, and she did too.

Then, it was a sudden clash of thunder and fire; the passion in the room was like the sunshine at the seaside.

It was also like a long-parched riverbed finally welcoming the first rain of spring.

The rain was torrential, and before long, it became a babbling brook.

Accumulating strength to release it all at once, it was finally like a dam that had burst, erupting.

Afterwards, both of them lay on the bed, feeling satisfied.

……

The next day.

It was near noon when they woke up.

After waking, they looked at each other, then Mou Lili got up to put on her clothes.

Ling Feng got up as well.

He stood to the side for a good while before speaking: "Last night..."

Mou Lili spoke first: "Last night, everyone was willing, and we both needed it. You don't need to have any psychological burden; I don't need you to take responsibility, and of course, I don't want to take responsibility for you either."

Ling Feng couldn't help but say: "Did I say anything about taking responsibility? I wanted to say..."

"You want to ask how many points you'd get for your performance, right? I'll barely give you an 8," Mou Lili had already put on her last piece of clothing.

Ling Feng couldn't help but darken his face: "You really have no sense of romance."

Mou Lili said: "I'm hungry. The Gu Family is so generous, we have to go down and eat seafood. I've never eaten a lobster that costs two thousand yuan each; I have to eat three or four of them in a moment. By the way, there's also sea cucumber and abalone, I need to eat more of those too."

Seeing that she was consciously avoiding mentioning last night, Ling Feng didn't bring it up either.

It was true, a lone man and woman in the same room, it was hard for something not to happen.

The two went down to have a big meal, and seeing that the other guests had mostly left, they also departed the hotel.

However, before going to the airport, Mou Lili bought an emergency contraceptive pill at a pharmacy.

……

After Mou Lili returned to Beishi, she began to get busy again.

In the past, the videos she recorded of herself singing were self-accompanied and self-sung, so it was inevitable there would be background noise, and the sound quality was a bit poor.

Now she had to go to a recording studio to record a whole song so that she could upload it to music platforms.

The person in charge of the recording studio is surnamed Qiu, and everyone calls him Qiu Ge.

Qiu Ge is in his 40s, chubby, has long hair, likes to wear black T-shirts, sports a big belly, and is quite humorous when he speaks.

People who work in music all tend to have some mutual appreciation for one another.

Qiu Ge said to Mou Lili, "So that song 'One Day' you came to record before is so popular; you wrote and sang that all by yourself, right?"

Mou Lili smiled and said, "That's right."

"You're too awesome; with your level, you could already debut."

"Eh, debuting means listening to the arrangements of an agency. My personality doesn't like being controlled; what if I offend someone one day and get blacklisted? I think it's pretty good right now, managing myself; if people listen to what I write, I make money."

"How much have you earned?" Qiu Ge asked.

Mou Lili smiled and said, "Not much, just enough to keep fed and clothed."

In fact, the clicks on the platform, plus the usage rights sold, meant this money was much more than working a regular job.

Recently, there have also been some companies wanting to talk to her about advertising promotions; she has already been screening products, and as long as the product is good to use, she will take the ad, and then she will have money to earn again.

Qiu Ge added Mou Lili on WeChat and added, "I know many music producers in Beishi; if there are any events later, I can find you to participate."

"That would be best," Mou Lili said.

……

Mou Lili stayed in the recording studio for half a month.

That day, when she came out of the recording studio, she saw there were over 50 missed calls on her phone.

There were calls from her mother, and also from her younger brother Mou Dafu.

Seeing their calls, Mou Lili only felt irritable.

It was for money again.

She returned a call to Mou Mu, her voice cold: "Mom, do you need something from me?"

Mou Mu, of course, first scolded her: "Where the hell did you die off to? I called so many times and you didn't answer; I was almost about to call the police."

Mou Lili gave a faint smile again.

If it weren't for money, they wouldn't care where she went at all.

"Do you want money? How much?" she asked.

Mou Mu said, "It's not about money, it's your brother; he arrived in Beishi this morning and is staying at the train station now. You hurry up and go pick him up and give him a place to stay."
